"Let's go, let's pack up and go up the mountain to have a look." The village chief greeted everyone and waved the pipe pot in his hand.
The old man had previously fought off two barbarians, and his left forearm was chopped off. He had to nurse it for a few days. Although his life was no longer in danger, he was still a little weak, but it could not stop him from running for the village.
Everyone quickly responded and turned around to go back.
In the Li family shack, Dr. Zhang was changing the dressing for Mrs. Li.
The old lady suffered a penetrating injury on her shoulder, and it was not easy to recover from it. However, the old man's hemostatic medicine was very powerful, and Jiayin also fed the old lady anti-inflammatory tablets and freeze-dried powder every day.
Therefore, the old lady's recovery was much better than expected.
Jiayin walked over and squatted next to her grandma. Her well-behaved and worried look made Mrs. Li feel soft and comforted her in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, Fu Niu, grandma is already well."
Jiayin hugged grandma's neck and kissed her on the face.
The old lady smiled even more, "My Fu Niu is doing much better, and she is acting like a spoiled child with grandma. Tell me, does she want to eat something good, or is she getting into trouble again?"
Jiayin grinned and grinned, revealing a few little eyes. White Teeth, "Grandma, I want to go up the mountain with daddy!"
Mrs. Li frowned, "Your injury is not healed yet. The mountain is very windy, so don't go. Grandma will ask your mother to steam the egg custard for you later, okay? Put the meat in it." The last one, your second uncle bought meat yesterday!"
Jiayin insisted, pouting her little mouth and shaking her grandma's arm.
Doctor Zhang rarely supported the little girl and said with a smile, "Let her go. Children are afraid that they will lose their energy. If they are naughty, they will become softer. The injury on her head is almost healed, and only the swelling is left. She slowly recedes and is completely healed." It's okay."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Mrs. Li stopped stopping her and called Tao Hongying to cover her granddaughter tightly. The mountain breeze was still very cold.
Jiayin liked the old man Doctor Zhang so much that she stepped forward and smeared his face with saliva, making the old man "disgusted" and laughing from ear to ear.
Soon, everyone was tidying up. Li Laosi carried the bamboo pole on his back, and behind him lay his daughter who was covered in cotton balls with only her eyes exposed.
Biao Liu carried the village chief on his back, and Li Laoer and several villagers followed behind and went up the mountain together.
Broken Gold Beach is full of gravel, so it stands to reason that the mountains on both sides should be rocky.
But what is rare is that the hills on both sides have deep soil layers.
Perhaps the sparse dwarf pine trees on the mountain have scattered pine needles for many years. The pine needles are mixed with dead grass and have worked hard to rot and accumulate year after year, which resulted in this result.
In terms of height, slope, and even size, the two hills are almost the same.
And they are all the kind with short shady slopes, steep terrain, and long and slow sunny side.
Of the 400 acres allocated to the village, the two hills account for 300 acres, and the gravel beach in the middle occupies 30 acres. The remaining 70 acres are outside the valley, which is considered a plain, but it is close to the river beach and can only be opened out. It can be used as a low-grade field.
Everyone stood on the mountain and had a panoramic view of the entire dustpan-like valley, and their moods were a bit complicated.
Speaking of benefits, this valley is completely sunny. The hills on both sides are very gentle and the soil quality is good.
Building villages in valleys also provides shelter from the wind, warmth and safety. There is a small river flowing not far outside the valley. Beyond the small river is the official road, which is convenient for water and transportation.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. If the two hills are to be reclaimed, all the dwarf pines must be dug out and the wasteland cleared, which will take a lot of effort.
On the gravel beach in the middle of the valley, if a village is to be built, it will be particularly difficult to lay a foundation for a waterway to flow from the mountains and rain.
The seventy acres of land outside the valley are river floodplains with sandy soil. Even if they are reclaimed, they can only grow sweet potatoes, not food at all.
Put it all together, if you want to survive, everyone must step up and open up the barren mountains! No matter what, we have to plant food before the farming season.
Jiayin tried her best to stretch her neck and carefully inspected this new home. She was very satisfied and had more ideas than the villagers.
Planting crops on the hillside is certainly a way to ensure that the whole village does not go hungry, but long-term benefits must also be considered.
It is best to plant fruit trees on a hilltop with good drainage, plenty of light, and good ventilation. They will definitely grow good fruits with high sugar content.
There are apple trees in her space, but no apple seedlings. She will have to figure out a way later.
As for the fruit saplings in this time and space, she didn't consider them at all. Because there is no improvement, the fruit produced is small and sour.
There are also river floodplains outside the valley. It would be a pity to only grow sweet potatoes.
If we could grow watermelons, they would be big and sweet.
In the vegetable garden of the small space courtyard, there seemed to be a few watermelon seedlings, which grew up after she occasionally ate watermelon and dropped the seeds.
Nowadays, it is simply unrealistic to plant dozens of acres of watermelon seedlings...
The more Jiayin thought about it, the more discouraged she became. She couldn't help but touch the back of her head. The swelling had shrunk to the size of a date, but she still couldn't get into the space.
When Li Laosi heard his daughter sigh, he untied his back and held her in his arms.
"Fu Niu, don't look at it, but there is nothing here, but dad has the strength! We will clear out the barren hills and riverbanks this year. In autumn, the mountains and plains will be covered with millet and sorghum. And there will be no food tax here for two years. Even if The harvest is not much, but it is enough for us to eat. Dad will not let you go hungry!"
"Yes, the fourth child is right!" The village chief held Liu Biaotou's arm and looked at the entire valley, equally ambitious.
"There is no place in this world where everything goes well. Now that we have successfully settled down and escaped the pursuit of the barbarians, this is already the best result. As long as we are willing to endure hardships and work hard, life will definitely not be bad!"
The rest ! Several villagers also nodded together, "We are farmers. We are not afraid of anything, but we are not afraid of hardship. Uncle village chief, please make arrangements!"
"Come down the mountain, let's discuss it with everyone, and we must hurry up and do the work that needs to be done. , The solar term waits for no one."
The village chief waved his hand heroically, got on the back of Liu Biaotou again, and everyone went down the mountain.
The women of each family were already busy making fires to cook, and the smoke from cooking was everywhere in the valley, which made everyone speed up their pace.
If not for anything else, just for the sake of the elderly and children, we must muster the courage to build a new home with all our strength!
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were busy cooking, and Mrs. Li rarely sat aside to bask in the sun and chat.
Seeing her son come back with her granddaughter in her arms, who was still a little wilted, Mrs. Li felt heartbroken.
"Hurry up and send Fu Niu to the shed and let her sleep for a while. I'm afraid she's tired from going up the mountain."
Tao Hongying said with a smile, "She's just a little kid, always on her father's back, what's the point of being tired?"
But the words were That being said, she still hugged her daughter, then carefully took her into the shack, patted her gently to sleep, and covered her with a fine gauze to block mosquitoes, before going out and continuing her work.
The Li family gathered outside and talked about opening up wasteland, but no one looked into the shed.
Of course, no one noticed, but Jiayin fell asleep and disappeared...
In the small space courtyard, Jiayin turned over and pulled the quilt to cover her. The softness in her hand made her suddenly feel that something was wrong.
She suddenly turned over and sat up. She was wearing a large double goose down quilt, covered with a new green milk velvet quilt, which felt warm and soft. There is a soft mattress under her body, and a princess-style bed tent with snow-white lace hangs beside the bed...
Everything is so real, and there is no invisible barrier from before.
Is she...entering space? !
