at night.
The dog in the west of Lingjia Village was barking wildly. Ling Xiao woke up almost instantly and patted his wife who was awakened. "You go to sleep, I'll go check."
As soon as I opened the gate, I heard screams coming from the fields.
A flashlight flickered in the Qiu family's yard. Yi Bo opened the gate and said worriedly, "Ling Xiao? Is someone stealing something over there?"
"It's okay, I'll just go over and take a look."
Ling Xiao waved the flashlight in his hand towards the field. The barking of dogs over there became louder, and he could vaguely see a figure running away in a panic.
Ling Xiao sighed. These people, they had already told us there was a dog, but they still came to steal. Can't they just be honest people?
Besides, even if there is no dog, not everyone can move such a heavy iron rod...
Da Huang trotted over, circled around Ling Xiao as if to seek credit, and then ran away quickly.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ling Xiao turned around and went back. It seemed that the shed would have to be built tomorrow, and barbed wire would have to be put up around it, or a bamboo fence would be fine. If someone stole the iron rod now, they might steal the vegetables in the future.
When he got home, Meng Qidi was still awake. Seeing that she was not sleepy, Ling Xiao told her what he was thinking.
"Then build a bamboo fence that goes all the way around, put in some alarm bells that go off when touched, and get a few more dogs."
She is good at preventing thieves and burglaries.
Zhang Tao and his friends stayed in Lingjia Village for one night and left early the next morning.
Wang Jinhua asked the three of them to bring back a lot of local specialties, such as tea leaves picked by themselves, dried bamboo shoots, cured fish, pickled fish, and lotus root powder. Almost everything that was available at home was allowed to take back.
The enthusiasm made Master Huang a little at a loss.
He got into the car as if escaping.
The big Dongfeng truck was running, and the originally crowded roadside was empty in an instant.
I had originally planned to let Ling Xiao rest for a day, but as soon as Zhang Tao and the other two left, he went to the fields with his hoe on his shoulder...
"What can I do?" Ling Xiao walked closer to his wife and asked with a smile.
"Why should I suspect that you really want to help me?" Meng Qidi looked at him suspiciously.
"Really? I'm just here to do some work. You can use me as much as you want. I'll be your long-term worker for the next few days."
"Tsk." Meng Qidi threw down her hoe with a look of disgust on her face. "You came just in time. Help me put up a rack. I need to confirm the width of a tent, and then we can divide the trenches. Finally, we need to calculate how many tents can be set up in each piece."
As soon as his wife said that, Ling Xiao roughly understood what she meant, and followed her to get the iron rack. It was called an iron rack, but in fact it was just a long iron rod.
The couple each took one and went to the edge of the field, determining the direction. Ling Xiao was originally close to the ridge of the field, so he said hello to Meng Qidi and then went straight in.
After finishing his end, he came over and switched positions with Meng Qidi, letting her look at that end while he tried the width.
"It needs to go a little further over there. It can't be as wide as Beijing. The land over there is narrow."
Ling Xiao moved back, and when he saw her shaking her head, he continued to move...
After determining the approximate width, the two began to measure the sand. The sand was leveled into a large piece. One person measured one side of the road and made a mark.
The two of them worked quite quickly. They measured and calculated how many plots of land there were. Then they divided it by the total number of iron racks and figured out how many iron racks could fit on one plot of land.
"Are eight enough?" Ling Xiao asked.
Meng Qidi looked at the two plots of land in front and behind the roadside. They were of different lengths. "It's almost enough to move the two in front to the back."
"Okay, I'll go dig the ditch." Ling Xiao obeyed unconditionally.
After finishing digging the ditch, it was already noon. The sun was strong, so the two continued in the afternoon.
I didn’t see the ninth day of the New Year the night before, and I saw it during lunch, and it happened to be a Saturday holiday.
"So I have such a little brother-in-law?" Ling Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth. If he took this man out and said he was his son, people would probably believe it.
Meng Qidi pulled Chujiu up to him and said, "This is your brother-in-law."
Ling Xiao suddenly sat up straight and stretched out his hand, "Hello, brother."
It was the first time that someone spoke to her so formally. Chujiu blushed instantly and timidly extended her hand, "Sister... Hello, brother-in-law."
After calling people, Chujiu broke free from her sister's hand and ran out shyly.
Ling Xiao looked at his wife innocently, "I really didn't scare him!..."
Meng Qidi rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you so nervous? I didn't say anything about you, or are you feeling guilty?"
Meng Qidi glanced at her mother-in-law who came in after washing clothes, and kicked the man's stool, "Let's go, we'll go help dry the clothes."
The two children had been busy with farm work for the whole morning, and Wang Jinhua really had no intention of letting them do housework. However, they insisted, so she had no choice but to let them do it and went into the house to cook.
There were only three adults and two kids having lunch at noon, while Uncle Qiu and Uncle Yi went to work at the factory in the county town.
I tried the machine yesterday and learned how to use it. Today I will look for someone to help me place the items and buy some stools. After some time, when the relevant procedures are completed, I will officially start recruiting workers and opening the business.
In the afternoon, we went to the fields to install a shed. The two little guys also went. They refused Wang Jinhua's offer to help. They almost each held one head and worked neatly in the soil.
The two of them did it easily, but Wang Jinhua, who was watching the children by the field, was worried, so she went down to the field to pull out the end her son had inserted, but she couldn't get it to move despite all her efforts...
Well, my son has become a strongman just like Xiaoqi...
Since she tried her best to pull it out but still couldn't, Wang Jinhua was completely relieved and no longer had to worry about someone stealing it.
In just half an hour, the two of them had put up a row of trees neatly, and then put up the film to make a tent.
Of course, it cannot be used in the summer because the temperature is high and the vegetables will probably be suffocated.
As soon as the two children changed seats, they took off their shoes and ran around excitedly. Ling Cheng shouted, "The train is passing through the tunnel."
Chujiu was originally running too, but when he heard the train, he stopped hesitantly.
"What happened to Chujiu?" Ling Cheng ran back and asked.
"Is this what it means to take a train? I've never taken a train before." The little guy was a little confused.
Ling Cheng stretched out her little hand to comfort him, "It's okay. When you grow up, I'll take you to the school gate by train."
"Really?" The little guy asked excitedly, shaking off his previous lethargy.
"certainly!"
The two children talked and started playing again, running a few laps. Chujiu corrected them, "You are not a sister, you are a niece!"
Ling Cheng...
Ling Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth. I guess this is the first time that the house is so lively?
Seeing that the two children did not run around, Wang Jinhua went to wander around the village...
The couple still work together. As the saying goes, when men and women work together, the work is not tiring and the speed is always great.
The soil in the sand was loose, so they inserted it deep to prevent it from bouncing out. Fortunately, both of them were very strong.
Ling Xiao could naturally sense the changes and abnormalities in himself, and he knew the handiwork of his wife. He could only hide this heaven-defying thing from her...
