Chapter 383: Leave these matters to him from now on
Patriarch Xu came here to see a doctor. When he heard that Gu Xiaoxi was coming, he also wanted to see Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi originally planned to take care of some family matters and then go to the village tomorrow, but she didn't expect that the old patriarch Xu would come over.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Judging from today's weather, it will snow soon.
However, the snow this year came later than last year, so she rushed back as soon as possible, hoping to celebrate the New Year at home.
I finally got home before the Chinese New Year and before the second harvest of medicinal herbs. I guess I will be busy in a few days.
Another thing is to make everyone's land more fertile, so that after she is gone, they can have a good harvest of medicinal herbs for a few years.
During this period, she will also try to study the soil problem again.
However, these have long been handed over to robots, and she often enters the space to observe the herbs grown in ordinary soil.
Leaving this place to Xia Yu, she went to the front yard to meet the old patriarch Xu.
The old patriarch looked listless and had a slight cough because he had not fully recovered.
Ahem…
He squatted by the fire. It was cold and he was sick, so he huddled there with the brazier in his arms.
When he saw Gu Xiaoxi coming over, he wanted to speak, but was held down by Gu Xiaoxi.
"If you are not feeling well, just sit in any way that makes you feel comfortable," she said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're back. My health isn't very good. I'm worried that I won't be able to manage the herbs in a few days." Patriarch Xu said worriedly.
"Old Patriarch, you should have let go a long time ago and let the young people do these things.
Xu Mo is young and strong, so we can leave these things to him from now on." Gu Xiaoxi felt that the old patriarch was worrying too much.
Why……
Clan leader Xu sighed deeply, then looked at Xu Mo and said, "This kid refuses to get married no matter what. He can't even handle his own affairs. How can I trust him with all the clan affairs?"
Xu Mo looked at his grandfather's disgusted eyes, looked at everyone with some embarrassment and laughed.
Phew!
Gu Nanming couldn't help laughing beside him, but Chai stopped him: "You're still laughing? You're almost the same as that kid.
If you don't get married, you are just a child who has not grown up. And you, my second son, don't make any excuses for me. I will find a matchmaker to look for you in a few days."
When Gu Nanming heard this, he stopped laughing.
"When the time comes, let the matchmaker go to our village and quickly find one for this kid, so that I don't die without seeing my great-grandson." Patriarch Xu said angrily.
"Grandpa, please stop talking nonsense, okay?" Xu Mo was most afraid of hearing his grandfather say such words.
Gu Xiaoxi patted Xu Mo and said calmly, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all human beings. Filial piety should be shown as early as possible. Don't wait. No one can wait."
After hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, Xu Mo fell silent.
Gu Xiaoxi invited Patriarch Xu and his family to have lunch. After lunch, she personally drove the carriage to send Patriarch Xu back and visited Uncle Geda by the way.
As the weather got cold, Gu He asked Geda and his wife to bring their children to live in the farm.
However, the couple felt that the medicinal herbs needed someone to take care of them, and they couldn't let their children have the mentality of getting something for nothing, so they continued to live in the village.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that Uncle Geda was a man of integrity, and he set an example for his two children.
She first sent the old patriarch Xu home, and then went to see the medicinal fields in the village.
The medicinal fields are not as good as before, probably because the weather is cold and the land is not as fertile as before.
However, if you collect this wave, you will definitely not lose money, and you can even make some money.
"Miss, are these medicinal fields not growing as well as before?" Er Shun had felt this way before, but he didn't know who to ask?
"Yes, that's what happens when the land is not fertile. If you want to grow good medicinal herbs, you have to learn how to take care of the land." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi parked the carriage beside him and walked away.
When she reached the edge of the field, she squatted down and reached out to grab the soil on the ground.
The soil is a little dry. It's cold now, and the water in the mountains is frozen, so there is less water coming down.
In addition, the wind is strong at this time, so the soil lacks moisture, which affects the growth of herbs.
It seems that the water storage method here is still not good enough. We need to improve it in the spring.
Thinking of this, she walked around the medicinal fields again, and then looked at the mountain next to it.
The water of the river in the village is brought down from the mountain, but the water on the mountain is frozen and cannot flow down.
If this is the case, then we need to build a large reservoir in the village.
The reservoir needs to be surrounded by a wall to prevent some ignorant children from entering and causing accidents, and then a ditch should be made inside to flow the water into the nearby fields.
If the weather is cold, you can boil water in a pot in the village, mix the boiling water with ice water, and then use it for irrigation after the water temperature stabilizes.
With an idea in mind, she got on the carriage, took out a pen and paper and started writing and drawing.
By the time they finished a simple drawing, it was dark, and they drove the carriage to Uncle Geda's house for dinner.
When it's cold, Uncle Geda and Aunt Geda rarely go out. Before the weather gets cold, they fill the empty rooms and under the eaves with dry firewood.
Life is better this year. The clan leader led the villagers to burn charcoal and distributed some to each household.
Unlike last year when many people did not have enough to eat, this year even the poorest families can have food to eat.
"Xiaoxi, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't buy any vegetables. These bacon were just made this year.
These winter bamboo shoots were also dug from the mountains. I dried some of them and will keep them for cooking in the winter. Would you like to try them and see how they taste?" Aunt Geda happily placed the freshly cooked bacon and winter bamboo shoots on the stove.
The fire was burning fiercely. Soon, a sizzling sound came from the pot and the aroma filled the air.
"Aunt Geda, your dish smells delicious." Gu Xiaoxi swallowed.
"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. Thanks to you, everyone in the village has food to eat this year and will never go hungry again." Uncle Geda happily handed the chopsticks to Gu Xiaoxi.
"That's because you are diligent, otherwise we wouldn't have such a harvest." Gu Xiaoxi took the chopsticks and took a bite. It tasted really good.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi liked the food, the couple smiled brightly, and the two children sat next to Ershun, eating with their mouths full of oil.
"Without your guidance, no matter how hard we work, we won't be able to find food!" Uncle Geda shook his head. He saw many things very clearly.
hehe……
Gu Xiaoxi just smiled and lowered her head to eat.
After the two children had eaten their fill, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "Uncle Geda, Aunt Geda, if one day I were to move somewhere else, would you two be willing to come with me?"
"You, you're moving away?" Uncle Geda's face changed with fright when he heard the news.
