"Okay, I'll go outside and find a nail to dig out the eel."
Ning Qingyuan muttered as he looked for nails and boards.
He took out a hammer and hammered it several times, finally nailing a nail into the wooden board. The tool for digging eels was ready.
Ning Xiyue saw him pick up an eel and hang its head on the nail without blinking. The eel's body kept twisting, and he grabbed its body and cut it open with a small knife.
It is a bit cruel when killing and a bit greedy when eating.
Ning Xiyue stopped watching and turned to wash her hands and make buns and dumplings.
She only packed enough for dinner and then stopped.
After putting the vehicle repair book on the table, Ning Xiyue took the vegetable seeds and sprouted watermelon seeds and walked towards the dug vegetable patch.
"Brother, I'll go plant the vegetable seeds and watermelons first. When you're done, fetch two buckets of water and water the fields."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be done soon." Ning Qingyuan looked at the only two fish left in the wooden basin and quickened his pace.
Ning Xiyue carried a hoe and walked towards her vegetable garden which was almost cultivated.
She was busy planting vegetables when Wu Guifang happened to come here with the new educated youth. However, she did not disturb Ning Xiyue from working. She just pointed at the vegetable plot from a distance and introduced it to the two new female educated youth behind her.
"Everyone has a private plot of land where they can grow their own vegetables, but you need to cultivate the land yourself. The few plots of land you see now that have been cultivated are owned by someone else, and the vegetables belong to someone else too. You can't just pick them casually, so grow whatever vegetables you want to eat and you can have enough food and clothing yourself."
As Wu Guifang spoke, she gestured for everyone to look at Ning Xiyue, who was working diligently. "Look, the old educated youth all do it themselves."
"Okay, got it."
Ning Xiyue heard Wu Guifang's words from behind, as if she was setting an example for the new educated youth, with a slightly proud tone, and she felt inexplicably funny and embarrassed.
She just did this on a whim. The land was cultivated by her second brother, and she wanted to have some fresh fruits and vegetables to eat when summer came.
The main purpose is to grow watermelons and tomatoes to quench thirst in summer.
However, Ning Xiyue thought so in her heart, but she actually acted in accordance with Wu Guifang's words, working even harder to dig holes and plant the watermelon seeds that had just sprouted.
Tang Xiaohu, who was standing behind him, clenched his fist and nodded: "I will come to reclaim the land this afternoon."
Wu Guifang didn't say anything. Her original intention was to tell these newly arrived educated youth not to think about eating ready-made food without doing anything, as that was impossible.
After saying these words, he took his people away after looking at the place.
Ning Xiyue continued to dig holes and sow vegetable seeds diligently, working hard for food.
After a while, Tang Xiaohu tiptoed over and greeted Ning Xiyue with a smile.
"Xiyue, you're growing vegetables! You're amazing! You know how to do everything! Your hoeing movements are so cool and neat! You've cultivated this piece of land so well..."
Ning Xiyue felt embarrassed listening to this long string of flattery, and raised her right eyebrow slightly. "Well, just tell me what you want to say. I still have to plant vegetables, so I don't have time to chat with you for the time being."
The implication is that if there is something going on, let it go; if there is nothing going on, don't bother.
