Sensing that there was no one around, she called the two little ones out to water the plants.

The crow and the big cat suddenly jumped out and scared the big yellow dog.

Soon, it gripped the ground with its four paws, lowered its body slightly, and bared its teeth fiercely: "Woof woof woof!"

The crow had been displeased with the dog for a long time, so it flew up and slapped the big yellow dog on the head, stunning the dog. How could there be such a ferocious bird!

The big yellow dog flew up and tried to bite it, but missed.

Afterwards, the crow proudly stood on Xu Qingzhi's shoulder and sang a victory song towards the big yellow dog, "Ga ga ga~".

The big yellow dog whimpered and circled around Xu Qingzhi, even the wagging speed of its tail slowed down.

"Okay, don't bully Dahuang, it's my grandpa's dog." Xu Qingzhi scolded Yaya and asked the two little ones to water the dogs quickly.

She found a thick pile of pine needles nearby, sat down on it, and touched the head of Dahuang, who was lying next to her and whimpering in grievance.

The whimpering sound of Dahuang gradually became smaller, and he began to wag his tail happily.

After Xu Qingzhi finished visiting the persimmon forest, he went to the mountain near the temple to visit the chestnut forest that his grandfather had planted. -The beginning of autumn arrived quietly.

The Xu family's back hill has already started to plant fruit trees in full swing, including peach trees, plum trees, kiwi trees, grapefruit trees, pomegranate trees, loquat trees...

All kinds of fruit trees that can be planted can be found on the mountain behind.

However, a sudden autumn rain temporarily hindered the planting process.

Xu Fuqiang shouted to everyone working in the fields to pack up their tools and take shelter from the rain in a tool shed built nearby.

After a long time, the heavy rain did not stop.

From afar, everyone saw a graceful figure holding an umbrella slowly walking towards them.

Xu Fuqiang saw that her shoes were covered with mud and frowned, "Qingzhi, what are you doing here in such heavy rain?"

"I made some ginger tea. It suddenly rained heavily and the weather is still a bit cold. Everyone should have some." Xu Qingzhi put away the umbrella and raised the pot of hot ginger tea in his hand.

When everyone heard this, they felt warm in their hearts.

They have been helping out at the Xu family these days. At the beginning, when they volunteered to help, they were only provided with two meals. But after two days, because everyone had children and had to go home to cook for them, they were paid for their work. The more they do this job, the more motivated they are.

However, the work in the field was almost done, and everyone was still a little reluctant to leave.

First, the Xu family is good at dealing with people, which makes it easy for everyone to get the job done and feel comfortable. Second, they pay generously. Without this job, they will have to find other jobs to make money.

There were disposable cups for drinking water in the tool shed. Everyone took half a cup of ginger tea. After drinking the warm tea, they felt warm all over.

It was almost evening, and Xu Fuqiang asked everyone to finish work early today.

The ground was full of water and the soil was soaked. Every time I dug with a hoe, the mud stuck to the hoe, making it difficult to work smoothly.

If there is no heavy rain tomorrow, the remaining work will be easy to do. The soil is half dry and half wet, which saves a lot of effort.

Xu Fuqiang carried the teapot and Xu Qingzhi carried the umbrella, and the two went home together.

Passing by the vegetable garden, Xu Fuqiang looked at the vegetables that had not yet grown and looked worried.

Xu Qingzhi had seen this expression on her father's face more than once, and she knew what he was worried about, so she said, "Dad, the vegetables will have to grow slowly. We still have some savings at home, don't worry."

"Yeah, Dad knows." Xu Fuqiang responded.

During this period, the vegetable garden also has corn, radish, celery, lettuce, spinach, and Chinese cabbage.

Xu Qingzhi also planted cabbage, pea tips, coriander, zucchini, winter melon and pumpkin in the first few acres of land he opened up in the back mountain.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingzhi asked, "Dad, let me ask you a question."

"Ah?" Xu Fuqiang touched his head. "If it's an intelligence question, Dad can't answer it. Dad is not as smart as you."

"Just asking casually, it's a daily life question." Xu Qingzhi asked: "My family has eaten winter melon, watermelon and pumpkin, but have you ever eaten northern melon?"

"No, there is no pumpkin here, how can we eat it?" Xu Fuqiang answered with a confident smile.

Xu Qingzhi was like a teacher correcting homework: "Wrong~"

She explained: "We have eaten northern melon in our family. In fact, zucchini is also called northern melon. I planted some zucchini in the back mountain."

Xu Fuqiang smiled innocently, "So zucchini is also called this name. Dad has learned a lot this time. I'll test your mom with this question later. Don't make a sound."

"Okay." Xu Qingzhi agreed immediately.

When he got home, Xu Fuqiang tested his wife in the same way Xu Qingzhi had tested him. Wang Yanmei also got the answer wrong, and she angrily told him to get out of the kitchen: "Go away, don't get in the way of me cooking."

Xu Fuqiang came out of the kitchen happily and whispered to Xu Qingzhi: "Hey, your mom can't afford to play with you. She's still mad at me when I answer wrong."

Xu Qingzhi also smiled, looking at his mother busy in the kitchen and his father with a smile on his face.

This kind of life is really good.
