Chapter 26
With his ability, it is not difficult to go back. The Ming family is kind to him. If they are willing, Xie Zhan can take them under his wings and keep them safe and smooth for the rest of their lives. For Xie Zhan,
A word is just a matter of words.
"Are you willing to leave your hometown?"
Chinese people pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. No one wants to stay away from their hometown unless it is absolutely necessary. Although none of the villagers in Tubao Village are kind to the Ming family, for Ming's father and mother, this is also the hometown where they have lived for most of their lives.
willing to leave.
Therefore, even though Mingxiu has no feelings for Tubao Village, she is still willing to stay for the sake of her parents.
The reason why the villagers don't have any goodwill toward them is simple. It's simply because no one in the Ming family can afford to support the family. It's not that soft buns can't have true friends, but it all depends on luck.
Obviously, Ming's father and mother were not very lucky.
It's hard to be sincere, but if you just want to be passable on the surface, there is still a way.
As long as the Ming family can live a better life and live the best life in the village, naturally no one will dare to bully them wantonly.
It is Mingxiu's pursuit to let his family live a good life. If he can do this, the current dilemma will naturally be solved.
Xie Zhan knew that she was telling the truth, so he didn't force it. He thought that he would ask his subordinates to say hello to the local magistrate. With the magistrate taking care of her, the life of the Ming family would be much easier.
The two acres of land that were originally opened are ready for planting, but it still takes a long time to grow food. Mingxiu is not in a hurry. She wants to persuade her parents to open more land before winter and wait for the income next spring.
It can be much more.
Not far behind the Ming family is a mountain. There are about three or four acres of land at the foot of the mountain. It is more barren than the wild land in the village. It is not easy to open up wasteland.
But since a land has been opened here, it is very convenient to travel there.
There may be ferocious beasts coming down the mountain in search of food in winter. In previous years, because the Ming family was poor and had no livestock, there was no such worry, but this year...
Looking at the bright yellow chicks at home, Mingxiu fell into deep thought.
"What is Xiu'er doing? Isn't she always the most enthusiastic about going to the fields?"
Ming's father went down to the ground with a hoe and a basket on his back to pick the vegetables that had grown. When Mingxiu didn't appear, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Usually, Mingxiu would follow them every time they went to the fields. They might not be able to do much work, but they would always be by their side.
There were girls watching and asking for help, and Ming's father felt that he had a little more energy to work.
"Xiu'er is tired today. Let her rest for a while. We can go to the fields by ourselves." Mingxiu was not expected to work anyway, so Ming's mother did not think about forcing Mingxiu to go to the fields.
Just let her stay at home to look after the house.
I just bought the chicks two days ago. Ming's mother would not feel at ease just leaving them at home.
Ming's father thought thoughtfully, "Let's go back and pick up a dog to keep."
In this way, even if there is no one at home, you don’t have to worry too much about your home being emptied out when you return home.
"Look, if someone has a good dog, let's go pick one up and bring it back."
There are many families raising dogs in the village, and the Orion family’s dogs are even better, the kind that can be followed into the mountains for hunting. Ming’s mother thought about her family’s situation, and if she wanted to raise a dog, she would have to raise a dog like that.
Xie Zhan was left to look after the house with Mingxiu.
When he was in his own family, Xie Zhan was the mainstay, but in the Ming family, he could only do one thing: look after the family.
He deeply felt that he was too useless.
He wanted to do something. After knowing Mingxiu's worries, Xie Zhan didn't take it seriously. "Just plant a few trees there. This land should be able to plant trees, right?"
He thought about the condition of the land in the woods, and saw that it was no different from those behind him.
Mingxiu's eyes lit up, "Yes, you can plant trees!"
Just do it, Mingxiu rushed out to discuss it with her parents.
Watching her leave, Xie Zhan couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
As expected, it was not easy to hear a few words from this woman's mouth.
"Planting trees in the backyard? That's fine. It can block some wind in winter."
Mingxiu made many weird requests, and planting trees was just the most common one among them.
Since my daughter wants to plant a tree, let’s plant it.
But Ming's mother was still a little reluctant, "Aren't we planning to build a new yard? I think the land at the back is very good. If we plant trees, wouldn't we have to find another place for the yard?"
She feels that the land where she lives now is quite good and easy to climb up the mountain, so she doesn't want to move it.
"What's so difficult about this? Like Xiu'er said, just go back and build the courtyard wall against the trees. Even though the mountain behind us is not high, Zhang Headhunter said that there are ferocious beasts in it! Just in case it's winter.
We were so hungry that we went down the mountain to find something to eat. It would be safer if there were trees blocking us."
At least there is time to find out and escape!
Ming's mother was speechless and agreed to Mingxiu's plan.
Originally, their decision to cultivate land without buying fertilizer from the town was a joke in the village. Everyone was waiting to see the Ming family's joke. But who knew that these lands could actually grow?
It’s not a weed, but a serious edible vegetable!
Although we can't grow food yet, even if we buy fertilizer from outside, no one can grow food in the first year. We can't even grow vegetables. We can only grow some beans first.
What does this mean?
It shows that the method of raising farmland is more effective than the fertilizer in the town!
The people in the village couldn't sit still. If they had this method, how many acres of land could they open up?!
Who doesn’t continue to open land because they don’t have the money to buy high-priced fertilizer in town?
If so, wouldn't everyone be a landlord?
Even the village chief couldn't sit still and came to the door after Ming's father and mother had finished harvesting the vegetables.
"Brother Ming, your land is well maintained." The village chief rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed thinking about his purpose, but for the sake of the village and himself, he still had to come.
"Ah, it's nothing. It's just a kid messing around." Ming's father scratched his head, wondering what the village chief's purpose was. Did he come just to praise his family?
"The land is our root! Your family is about to live a better life. Okay, great!" Seeing that Ming's father is still as honest and honest as ever, the village chief felt half relieved, "Your family is living a good life."
During the day, don’t forget to support the village! We all remember your kindness!”
This is a way to cultivate the land.
