Chapter 277 It’s a nice thought
Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, the sound of firecrackers was heard somewhere in the village.
The villagers all walked towards the source of the noise and got together to see what was going on.
Then, the news that Li's eldest son, who had gone to join the army, had returned quickly spread throughout the village.
Fortunately, I came back healthy, but unfortunately, I didn’t recognize him.
The villagers just thought it was fate, that the person could come back and meet again here.
Families in the village came to congratulate him one after another. Some gossipy women wanted to find out about Li Junguang's situation, but they were all blocked by Aunt Li.
After staying for a while and taking a quick look, the conversation was almost over, and the villagers began to leave and go back to their farm work.
The people in this village are so gossipy, some of them are unworthy of it.
At this time, Li Junguang, who was being watched and discussed by the villagers, saw that most people had left, so he jumped down from the roof and brushed off the dust on his sleeves.
"Brother, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time. You are really good at hiding."
"follow me!"
Li Junyong brought his elder brother to his room.
"Junyong, why are you pulling me?" Li Junguang shook off the hand that was grabbing his sleeve and asked in confusion.
"Brother, we are leaving here tomorrow, so there is something I need to deal with as soon as possible. I will take you to a place later."
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Li Junguang saw Li Junyong speaking seriously and felt a little nervous. He wondered if he had hurt some girl's heart in this village before and now she wanted to drag him to someone else's house to apologize.
Li Junguang told Li Junyong about his concerns.
Li Junyong was so amused.
"Hahaha, brother, you really wish for it. Which girl would like you?"
After hearing this, Li Junguang was a little dissatisfied. "Speak properly. Although I am five or six years older than you, I am also a handsome boy."
Li Junguang straightened his chest, smoothed his hair with his big hands, and shook his head.
Seeing the man in front of him behave like this, Li Junyong couldn't help but murmur, "Yeah, it's so similar. This is what Big Brother looked like before."
Even though my brother doesn't remember his past memories, his every move and some natural little movements are still the same as before.
"What are you staring at? When are you leaving? I have to help dad cut grass for the pigs later."
In just less than two days, Li Junguang had already adapted to and integrated into this place. Blood ties can never deceive people. Li Junguang could feel that the words "Dad and Mom" that he blurted out came from the heart without any far-fetched meaning.
"Brother, I'll take you to a place to cut grass for pigs. The grass there is particularly suitable." Li Junyong suggested.
"It's up to you. I'm not familiar with the village anyway. It's a pity that I have to leave so soon. I can't be of much help."
"Indeed, I thought I could help plant rice when I came back."
Li Junyong was also a little helpless. He didn't expect that the seedlings were not yet ready for transplanting. It should be mid-month, but by then they should be on their way.
"Then let's not waste any more time and get going." Li Junguang pulled a cart with two sickles on it and went straight out the door.
Li Junyong said hello to Li Dali and walked up the mountain with his elder brother.
……
In the vegetable garden.
The two sisters Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi were squatting and working hard. A tall tree directly blocked the sunlight and cast a shadow on the ground. Under the tree, a cow was tied up, eating grass on the ground with its head down.
"Sister, the planting here is almost finished, and there are still a lot of seedlings left. Should I plant them over there?" Xu Zhi stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and propped himself up.
The vegetable seeds sown on the ground before have already sprouted, but there are still some plots that have not been planted. Xu Yuan plans to transplant some of the lush seedlings and plant them elsewhere.
Aunt Li gave Xuyuan some wild onions, and he also asked her to plant a small piece of it. Anyway, any plant, as long as it is not wilted, will survive if it is planted in the ground and cared for carefully. If he planted a little of each, the variety of vegetables in the vegetable garden would be increased.
"Okay." Xu Yuan took a look and then continued to work on the things in his hands.
This is a bunch of sweet potato seedlings and rhizomes exchanged from the system mall. The kind that only eats leaves has a very strong ability to reproduce and climb vines, and has very good adaptability. It can survive with just a little water.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, as expected, once the points increased, the crops in the mall became more and more abundant, and the seeds of various crops were extremely expensive.
Points seemed to appear sometimes and disappear sometimes, which made Xuyuan completely confused. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wander in his mind. It seemed that the prey he had hunted before was recovered by the system, and points seemed to be credited to the account. If that was the case, crops and food should also be able to be traded.
"Sister, where did these sweet potato seedlings come from? They seem to be different from the previous ones."
After planting the seedlings in her hand, Xu Zhi stood up and carried the watering bucket to the small pond. After filling it with water and watering the seedlings in the field, she came to Xu Yuan's side, saw the rhizome in her hand, and asked curiously.
Last year, some of the sweet potato seedlings were dug up and replanted in the ground. When the weather was cold, they were buried in the ground and covered with several layers of straw.
The sweet potato seedlings have been hiding for a winter and are dug out when the snow melts in spring. Their leaves may not look pretty, but they are still alive.
The rhizomes of the sweet potato seedlings were cut into sections and planted on reclaimed wasteland.
It was the first time that Xu Zhi had seen this method of planting, and he was extremely curious. Planting rhizomes was much faster than planting sweet potato cubes, as there was no need to cut them into pieces or wrap them in wood ash.
It is simply twice the result with half the effort. Xu Zhi sighed inwardly that if only he had discovered the wild sweet potatoes earlier, at least they would not have had rhizomes that were about to wither and could not be planted even if picked.
"I found this yesterday when I went up the mountain to look for big flowers. It's another variety of sweet potato seedlings. It doesn't grow many sweet potatoes. We eat its leaves."
"That's great." Xu Zhi was overjoyed. This was a variety that had never appeared on the market before, so it would definitely sell for money.
Xu Zhi quickly came over and said, "Sister, let me help you."
"No, I'll get it done in no time. Go to the kitchen and get the charcoal ashes and pour them into the chicken coop."
"Okay." Xu Zhi quickly walked out of the vegetable garden.
Just then, there was a knock on the gate, which sounded particularly loud in the quiet courtyard.
Xu Zhi put the dustpan aside and went to open the door first.
"Brother Gu, how come you have time to come here?" Xu Zhi was a little surprised to see the person outside, and quickly invited him in.
"You go about your business, I'll look for Xu Yuan. Is she home?" Gu Qinghan leaned against the door and explained to Xu Zhi.
"My sister is in the vegetable garden. Brother Gu, why don't you wait a moment and I'll go call her."
"No need, I'll go, you just go about your business." Knowing where Xu Yuan was, Gu Qinghan hurriedly stopped Xu Zhi who was about to call for help, and walked towards the vegetable garden.
