Liu Jiutou's head buzzed, as if a string had broken.
He stared at the sweet potato blankly, feeling a growing sense of crisis.
His rationality quickly returned, and at this moment Liu Jiutou had only one thought in his mind.
Call the police!
He must call the police!
He quickly picked up the body and ran back the way he came.
As he ran violently, water kept dripping from the body as it was shaken.
…
public security bureau.
The policeman's face was very serious.
"You mean the one you saw by the river?"
As he spoke, he looked at the corpse. The swollen skin and wet clothes all proved the truth of Liu Jiutou's words.
Liu Jiutou nodded seriously. "That's right, police officer. On my way home, I suddenly found a body floating in the river. I fished it out and saw that it matched your description of a spy!"
"Comrade Liu Jiutou, you've helped us a lot. I'll apply to the higher-ups for more compensation and a medal!"
"The Punish Evil and Promote Good system reminds you: Assist the police in investigating spies once, promote kindness, and be rewarded with three pounds of rice."
Liu Jiutou waved his hand and said with a smile, "Fighting against spies is the duty of every citizen! I'm going home. Goodbye, police comrade."
The policeman showed an expression of admiration on his face: "This is a good comrade with high consciousness."
To be on the safe side, Liu Jiutou changed his route.
When he got home, Liu Jiutou looked at his daughter who came to greet him and a smile appeared on his face.
"Xiaoxi, are you hungry?"
Xiaoxi shook her head, an innocent expression on her face. "No, Dad, Mom took me up the mountain today! We found a lot of wild fruits we had never seen before!"
"oh?"
Liu Jiutou was a little curious. He had seen all kinds of wild fruits in the mountains since he was a child. How come there were suddenly new varieties?
"What kind of wild fruit is this? Show it to daddy."
Xiaoxi brought out a heart-shaped pot covered with green lilies. There were red fruits with white dots like sesame seeds on it, and a sweet and sour fragrance emanated from it.
Liu Jiutou had never seen this before and was surprised: "Can this thing be eaten?"
Xiaoxi: "Mom tasted it and then gave it to me too. It was delicious and sweet!"
Liu Jiutou was startled: "Are you feeling okay?"
Xiaoxi shook her head: "Don't worry, Dad, Mom and I are fine!"
Liu Jiutou then picked one up and took a bite. It was slightly crispy at first, then delicate and juicy, with a fruity aroma bursting out in his mouth. The taste was just the right sweet and sour.
This is actually a wild fruit?
Liu Jiutou was surprised. Logically speaking, wild fruits would not grow like this.
But Xiaoxi said that they were picked from the mountains. Could it be that someone planted this kind of fruit, it was eaten by birds, and then grew wild in the mountains?
Obviously, Liu Jiutou guessed the truth.
In Dafang Village, because the children planted them randomly everywhere a few years ago, the whole village is now full of strawberries, blueberries, and some strange orange trees.
Some grow small oranges, some grow kumquats, and some grow yellow fruits that are fat in the middle and pointed at both ends.
Everyone picked and tasted the last kind of fruit, and the sourness made them look like masks of pain.
There were quite a lot of trees in Lao Hua's yard. In the end, it was too crowded, so Lao Hua had to dig out some trees and plant them on the edges of his private plot and in other empty spaces.
The cactus beside the wall grew extremely tall and no one dared to get close to it because its thorns were so intimidating.
Hua Xuguo took a fruit picking tool and carefully picked the cactus fruits one by one under the tree.
"Hey, we have so much fruit at home!"
And they are all so strange and bizarre, could they be a gift from God?
It seems that this is the only explanation.
Wan Qingliu came back riding Hua Xuguo's bicycle with a happy expression on her face.
"The supply and marketing cooperative has a lot of new appliances, including refrigerators, ovens, washing machines, and even TVs!"
"How much electricity will this cost?" Zhou Yujiao exclaimed.
Hua Wanchi was very happy. These were all technologies given by their ancestors!
Wan Qingliu: "Tsk tsk, not many people can afford that price. And those who can afford it are worried about the electricity bill?"
She hasn't bought it yet, but even if she wants to use it, she can buy it in Hua Wanchi's space.
It’s always cheaper if you buy from Hua Wanchi.
In the past two years, the grain production in Dafang Village has increased sharply, which has attracted the attention of higher authorities.
The higher-ups sent experts to investigate, and discovered that the grain seeds had suddenly mutated!
What's even more strange is that all the seeds of Dafang Village Chief's crops have mutated. Some have increased yields, some have improved resistance to diseases and pests, and some have become more adaptable.
The experts were now completely interested. They picked some seeds and took them back to study. Soon they developed better seeds and tried to plant them throughout the commune. The results were very encouraging.
Soon, several botanists came to Dafang Village. They were surprised to find that there were many rare species growing everywhere in Dafang Village, some of which were even new species that they had never seen before!
The scientific research value is quite great!
Therefore, a new research site was built near Dafang Village, where several botanical experts and agricultural professors were stationed.
However, Hua Wanchi was only responsible for planting and had no control over anything else.
Now she is six years old and can do many things.
For example, celebrating your parents’ birthday.
Hua Xuguo's birthday is on May 3rd. In this countryside, no one would celebrate children's birthdays, so over the years, Hua Xuguo almost forgot his birthday.
When Hua Wanchi asked, he had to think for a while, and then Wan Qingliu casually said, "I remember he was born at the beginning of summer...I think it was May 3rd?"
