The hemp on the sand was cleared quickly, but she didn't dry it all. She did take a lot of it back and still had two hills of it at home.
Although I haven't planned to plant anything yet, I can plant a large circle of plants on the stone cliff near the river, which can also consolidate the river bank.
In the next few days, Meng Qidi was so busy that she didn't care what Mr. Qiu Sanye and the others were doing.
Fortunately, the weather was good these days. The hemp on the sand was dried, and the hemp that was brought to the top of the hill was planted by Meng Qidi.
Master Yang was also fast. In two days, he plowed more than ten acres of land. Meng Qidi took time out in the morning to divide the sand field into several large areas, and asked Master Yang to make eight signboards for her when he had time.
In the morning, Ling Tiansheng found her on the sandy ground. "Xiao Qi, the place in the city has been demolished. Go and have a look when you have time."
Meng Qidi put down the hoe and said, "Okay, I'm going to the county town tomorrow, I'll pay you when I come back."
Ling Tiansheng, who was originally planning to ask for money immediately, swallowed the words on his lips and thought, forget it, let's do it tomorrow. He doesn't need one more day.
Before dark, Meng Qidi's entire sand land was basically finalized, and the only thing left was to build a shed to grow vegetables.
"Are there any fish?" Meng Qidi washed her hands in the canal and walked towards the stream. She had set the net in the morning, and now Yi Bo was untangling it in front of her.
"It seems like there are quite a few." Yi Bo was a little flustered when he caught fish for the first time, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Qi coming back.
Meng Qidi came over and lent a hand. The two of them grabbed one fish each and pulled hard. A full fishing net of fish was pulled up, alive and kicking.
"What should we do now? Catch them?" Yi Bo asked nervously. It was the first time he saw so many fish out of the water, dozens of them, and they were not small in size.
"Drag it back to the gate and catch it later. It will be a waste of time if you catch it now and it jumps into the water."
The two dragged it back with great effort, and people of all ages gathered around.
Wang Jinhua was delighted. "No one has been doing this for a few years. I didn't expect there would be so many fish, and they have grown so big."
Chujiu's eyes widened, "Can this be eaten for a long time?"
In his entire life, he had only eaten fish a few days ago, and today was the first time he saw a live fish.
"If we eat this, it will be quick. There are many of us, so don't worry. We can fish it out after we finish eating. There are fish with fermented lees, braised fish, steamed fish, and chopped pepper fish head."
Yi Bo listed several ways to eat fish in one breath. Seeing these lively fish, he already had an idea.
"No, can't I raise it?" the little guy asked in a low voice with a red face.
"Raising fish?" Ling Cheng hurriedly pulled him towards the front yard, pointing to the lotus pond at the door, "Chujiu, it's getting dark today, I'll take you to see our fish tomorrow. There are so many of them, we don't even need to raise them. Besides, the fish in the stream are delicious, especially the wine lees fish, which is delicious."
Ling Cheng gently patted Chujiu's little head and said, "Don't raise any fish. It's good enough as long as there are food to eat. Otherwise, you will be like her, unable to take care of the rabbit at home."
Look, my aunt killed another one. Well, she is waiting to eat the spicy rabbit head in the evening...
The two children just stood at the door while several adults in the yard sorted the fish with peace of mind.
Meng Qidi naturally didn't care what to do with the fish. She threw the little fish into the lotus pond and went back to the house to take a shower. She was tired after a day and was covered in sweat.
Yi Bo and Wang Jinhua both know how to cook, so the fish is the easiest thing for them to cook.
Seeing that Lao Yi was in high spirits, Wang Jinhua handed the fish to him and went into the house to cook.
The dinner was really rich, with fish and rabbit, and Ling Cheng ate it with relish.
After roasting one fish, Yi Bo had already figured out what to do with the remaining fish. However, if Xiao Qi hadn't helped, it would probably take him most of the night just to wash the fish.
Meng Qidi went to bed at nine o'clock, after all, she had to go to the county town the next day.
Early the next morning, Meng Qidi cleaned up and the two children were having breakfast.
Meng Qidi glanced at the sky outside. "Isn't today Saturday? Why are you getting up so early?"
"Aunt, we want to go to the county town with you." Ling Cheng turned his head happily.
Wang Jinhua came out with hot buns and said unhappily, "Your aunt is going to the county town for something, what are you going there for? Don't make trouble."
"Grandma, we are very obedient. We will just ride in the car with auntie and not run around." The little girl promised, "And I will also make sure Chujiu doesn't run around."
Meng Qidi said, "It's okay. I'll drive there to see if uncle has demolished all the houses, and then buy some seeds and come back."
I guess the little girl found it fun the last time she went there and now wants to take Chujiu with her.
Since her daughter-in-law said so, Wang Jinhua couldn't persuade her granddaughter and could only nod.
However, before going to the county town, Meng Qidi took some things to Mengjia Lane, after all, it was half her mother's home.
Old Mrs. Meng went out to get some water. She was stunned when she saw the car stopped at the door. When she saw the people getting out of the car, she was filled with surprise.
"When did Xiaoqi come back?"
"I've been back for a few days and have been busy. I only found time to come here today." Meng Qidi picked up the two children and carried the things in.
"These are for you and grandpa. My dad doesn't need to give any. He's busy every day."
"Kid, just come here, why do you need to bring things?" Old Mrs. Meng felt a little embarrassed.
As expected, among the several children in the family, only Xiaoqi has a promising future and has graduated from college.
"I haven't been back for a few years. I can't come empty-handed." Meng Qidi put the things on the stone table.
Ling Cheng pulled Chujiu in curiously.
"Sister!" Meng Xiaofu ran out upon hearing the voice and was filled with joy when she saw Meng Qidi.
"It's been three years since we last met. Xiaofu has grown taller and prettier. This is my niece Xiaochengzi, and this is my brother Chujiu."
Meng Qidi turned around and said to the two little ones, "Xiao Chengzi calls me aunt, Chujiu calls me sister, and this is the old lady, Chujiu calls me grandma."
