Chapter 84: Su
"Brother-in-law, dragon and phoenix soup." Shitou poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Lu Chengjing. There were also three pieces of chicken in it. "I caught the snake and pheasant specially to nourish your body."
Lu Chengjing didn't have much of an appetite, but after hearing what Shi Tou said, he still picked up the spoon and lowered his head to drink the soup without touching a single piece of the chicken.
Xiao Huan said, "After the rain stopped, I went to the Li family to return the bamboo basket. I heard from Xiao Shan that the Lin family went to the fields to pick vegetables and had an argument with a few aunts. They almost came to blows."
"Why are you arguing?" Shang Wan took a bite of the steamed bun.
Xiao Huan said: "They said it was because of the disaster relief grain issue, but I don't know the details of the dispute."
She took a sip of soup and added, "When it started to rain, Xiaoshan was running home and saw the two brothers from the Lin family driving a donkey cart towards the village entrance. There were a lot of things on the donkey cart."
Shang Wan chewed the steamed bun thoughtfully.
It looks like it's raining heavily today. Why are you going out in the rain? Where are you going?
Shitou spat out the chicken bones, gloating, "It's raining so hard, even if they have a donkey cart, they will definitely be soaked to the skin."
In fact, not only were the Lin brothers soaked to the skin, but Lin Jianshui almost lost his life.
The news was brought by people from Xiaohe Village. The two brothers were currently with a barefoot doctor in Xiaohe Village, and the Lin family was asked to hurry over.
Shitou went around the village and found out everything that had happened.
Several nearby villages are close to the mountain. An earthquake a few days ago caused the rocks to loosen, and today's heavy rain made the situation even worse.
Everyone in Xiaohe Village tried to avoid it, but the two Lin brothers were unaware of this. They happened to pass by the mountain when they heard a loud bang and several large rocks mixed with soil fell on their heads, almost burying them.
In desperation, Lin Jianshui pushed Lin Jianshan out. Lin Jianshan was only slightly injured, but Lin Jianshui was covered in wounds, with a big hole in his head, and fell into a coma.
When Chen Guifang heard that her husband almost died, she fainted immediately. It was Liu who pinched her philtrum to wake her up. The Lin family was left at home to take care of the two children, while Village Chief Lin and his two companions followed the people from Xiaohe Village to see the two brothers.
There are some people in the village who used to have a good relationship with the Lin family. Three of them will go with us, so that they can help out if anything really happens.
Shitou sighed, "Our village has good feng shui. It is backed by a mountain but has never had mudslides or landslides like other villages. It's like we are blessed by the mountain god."
Shang·Shan Shen·Wan glanced at him and thought that it was better to rely on himself than on gods.
If she hadn't dealt with the hidden dangers before entering the mountain, the mountain god would have definitely buried a few unlucky souls in there.
The days passed smoothly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day agreed upon with the brick kiln to pull bricks.
"Sister, I know the way." Shitou sat on the ox cart and pulled the reins tightly. "You rest at home, I'll go."
"No need. I'll go." Shang Wan pushed the young man out from the driving seat.
Shitou clung to the ox cart and was unwilling to let go, "Sister, please take me with you."
Shang Wan knew exactly what he was doing and ruthlessly pried his hands apart. "Who was the one who rushed to plant the land a few days ago? Don't think I can help you reclaim the land just because you go and pull bricks."
Shitou looked miserable. How could he know that clearing wasteland was so tiring?
I was digging the soil yesterday and I was so tired that I couldn't even straighten my back and my hands were covered in blisters. My back is still sore after sleeping all night and I don't want to touch the hoe at all.
"How can you give up halfway?" Shang Wan waved his hand at the stone, "Go ahead, young man. As long as you are willing to work hard, the wasteland at the foot of the mountain will be yours."
Shitou cried, "Sister, my dear sister!"
Shang Wan ignored the young man's attempts to keep him and drove away coldly in the ox cart.
Stone:"……"
Oh, he doesn’t want to open up new land!
"Su!" Yuanyuan rode over on Xiaohui and patted him with her little meaty hands, "Su!"
Shitou sniffed and looked down at her, "What's wrong?"
"Wo!" Yuanyuan patted herself with her small hands, her big eyes sparkling, "Ba Su!"
Stone: ??? What does that mean?
The two stared at each other for a moment, and Yuanyuan decisively ordered Xiaohui to go find his father.
Lu Chengjing put down the book and served as a bridge for communication between the two.
Yuanyuan waved her short arms excitedly, and a few words popped out of her mouth from time to time, trying hard to express what she meant.
Even Lu Chengjing looked at it for a long time, and it took him a lot of guessing before he understood what Yuanyuan wanted to say.
He said to Shitou, "Yuanyuan probably meant that she can help you open up the wasteland."
Stone: “Huh?”
Yuanyuan puffed out her chest and said, "Wo! Ba Su!"
The little hand pointed to the wasteland in the distance, and the little voice was loud and clear, "Play!"
After receiving the order, Xiao Hui immediately carried her over. Shitou saw this and quickly picked up his hoe and followed.
Lu Chengjing was curious about what his daughter would do, and Xiaohuan was also curious, so she quickly pushed her wheelchair to join in the fun.
The land at the foot of the mountain is a little far from the entrance of the forest, so even if it is cleared and planted with vegetables, it will not affect the villagers' access. This place is not far from the river, so it is convenient to get water.
Shitou asked an old farmer named Liu to take a look. He said the soil here was covered with rotten leaves all year round, so it was fertile enough to grow crops. However, there were a lot of weeds and shrubs, so it was difficult to clean them up.
Old Man Liu suggested tactfully that the villagers were all reclaiming wasteland on the north slope, and if Shitou really wanted to do so, he could go there and have a look, as it would be much easier than here. The villagers looked after each other and could lend a hand depending on the situation.
Shi Tou refused at that time.
His sister said that it is better to rely on yourself than on others, so he should follow his sister's example.
Beipo is far from home, and getting water is not as convenient as here. He can't count on the villagers for help every day.
It's just a few more weeds and stones. At most it will take some more time to clean them up.
Seeing that Shitou chose to face the challenge, Old Man Liu praised Shitou a few words, and Shitou felt very happy.
Now that I think about it, the tears I'm shedding now are all the water that entered my brain when I was choosing the site.
huh huh...
According to the standard, Shang Wan helped to mark out two acres of land. The right acre remained untouched, but the left acre was turned over by about a quarter, and every inch of the land was covered with the sweat of Shi's hard work.
Shitou was worried when he saw the two wastelands. He turned around with his hoe and asked the confident Xiaotuanzi, "Yuanyuan, how are you going to help me?"
Yuanyuan glanced at him and stretched out her little hand towards him.
Stone:??
Lu Chengjing reminded: "Milk pot."
"Oh." Shitou quickly took the milk bottle from Xiaohuan, opened the lid and handed it to Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan drank two sips of milk with satisfaction, straightened her little body, and began to clap her hands, "Come! Come!"
There was a bright gleam in a pair of big black eyes.
The three people present tacitly chose to ignore Yuanyuan's abnormality and turned their heads to look around.
Last time it was a monkey, what will it be this time?
After a moment, rustling sounds came from the surrounding bushes.
The three of them looked startled. Here they come!
The sound of Yuanyuan's clapping became lighter, but her soft, baby voice continued, "Come! Come!"
Lu Chengjing and the other two held their breath and looked intently at the bushes that were shaking more and more violently.
