Chapter 512 The world is unpredictable
Her backyard house has two rooms less than the front one, but it is spacious enough for her to live alone now and to live with Liao Qing after she gets married.
The toilet in the front yard is still outside the back door. Country people are accustomed to squatting in the latrine, and the toilet is close to the vegetable garden.
Xu Jiaojiao built an indoor toilet, and she was not used to using the pot in the house at night.
I built a simple flushing toilet in the corner room at the far end. I opened a bamboo tube and used it as a water pipe. There was a large water storage bucket set up high in the room. When I need to use it, I flush it out. If there is no generator, just use it.
It is a simple method to artificially replenish the water in the bucket. Liao Qing did it according to her idea, and it was OK.
Anyway, it is much more convenient and hygienic than squatting in a latrine.
There are five rooms in the upper room, one for Xu Jiaojiao's bedroom, one for the living room, one for the hall, one for the study, and one for the acupuncture room. The left and right wing rooms are temporarily vacant for later use.
She thinks the air is better living in the countryside, and as long as the conditions are good, she doesn't want to go to the city.
Liao Qing had the same idea as hers. Liao Qing knew that his life experience was extraordinary, but he was still willing to live a mediocre and silent life in the countryside. This kind of insight and mind really surprised her.
She also just wants to live a simple life, with a farm, something to do, a fulfilling life, good health, and a leisurely and comfortable life.
That's why she wanted to build a big house in the countryside. This was her hometown, and the roots of her current body would be here to spend her whole life. She also felt that it was good.
Of course, things are unpredictable and she doesn't know what will happen in the future, but she won't be afraid either...
Xu Jiaojiao sprinkled seeds in the yard. These were medicinal seeds, not flowers and trees. They were all obtained from Huichun Hall.
Some fitness equipment was set up in the center of the yard, and a flower garden about one meter wide was opened around the yard, where flowers, plants and medicinal materials were planted.
Mrs. Xu Zhang came over and took a look, "Old girl, what are you planting? If you plant some vegetable seedlings on this revolving land, you can grow a lot."
Xu Jiaojiao's eyes twitched, "I planted some common medicinal materials, the seeds that Xiao Wanzi brought me that day, and some seeds that Liao Qing bought for me from the grocery store. Do you still need to plant them here to grow vegetables?
, there is so much space to grow vegetables in the garden at the back, the whole family can’t finish them all.”
"If you can't finish it, you can sell it. Vegetables are a good thing, and who can have too much? The money they sell is all money."
"Then if I grow medicinal materials and sell them, they will be more valuable than vegetables."
The words left Xu Zhang speechless, "Old girl, you are right, everything you do is right. How about my help? I will also learn how to grow herbal medicine. If it is really worth a lot of money, let's
We no longer grow vegetables in our vegetable plot, so we plant herbs instead.”
Xu Jiaojiao smiled, "How can herbs be so easy to grow? I'm just trying. Mom, I'll arrange a room for you in the backyard. Do you want to move in with me so that you don't have to sit in the front yard every day?"
I have endless worries.”
"How can it be done? If I don't look at these bastards, they can go to the house and lift the tiles. No, I won't move now. I know that the old girl has me in her heart, so she just needs to be filial to me. By the way, I'll come with you.
We are discussing the sale of pigs. Our pigs are about to be slaughtered. How are we going to sell them? No one in our town can collect so many pigs. There are more than a dozen pigs in total. Should we send them to the county to sell them?"
Mr. Xu Zhang comes to talk about business.
Xu Jiaojiao thought about it and said, "Okay, let's sell it in the county town. We have a house in the county town. Let's go to the slaughterhouse in the county town first and ask if we can send it directly to the slaughterhouse, pork shop or other places, even if
It’s cheaper, and if we establish a long-term cooperative relationship, we won’t have to worry about sales in the future.”
"Okay, I'll ask your fourth brother to go to the county town and ask about the market."
Nowadays, in Lao Xu's family, only the fourth child often runs outside and has convenient legs. Basically, all the errand work is assigned to him.
He works outside, and his mouth has been opened to talk to people and ghosts.
It is easier to use than the honest second child, the third child with low self-esteem, and the dull Erlang in the family.
Just as he was talking, Liao Qing came in from outside.
Liao Qing was holding a radish basket in her hand. There were some plants in the radish basket that Zhang didn't recognize.
They all looked like they had just been uprooted from the mountains.
Xu Zhang asked with a smile, "Huh? What are these? What are you doing with the weeds?"
Liao Qing and Xu Zhang met Li and said, "Auntie, these are the wild herbs in the mountains that Jiaojiao wanted. I dug them back and tried transplanting them. These are for coagulation and for treating trauma. This kind is slightly toxic.
It is used to repel mosquitoes. It can bear fruit. The fruit is bitter and can be used as medicine to treat soreness and weakness in the waist and knees..."
Mrs. Xu Zhang hurriedly waved her hands, "Okay, okay, don't tell me this, I'm going to work. You two can take your time and do whatever you want with your yard. It's up to you.
You can plant whatever you want, and you can raise whatever you want."
Liao Qing smiled and said nothing, watching Xu Zhang leave.
Xu Xiaohei was sitting under the wall, basking in the sun leisurely. When he saw Liao Qing coming, he jumped up and went to the roof.
It was always a little afraid of Liao Qing, probably because Liao Qing shot an arrow through its tail hair.
I'm afraid this impression won't change for a while.
Every time he sees Liao Qing, he can't help but stand up and stay away in a alert state.
Xu Jiaojiao saw that Liao Qing was sweating and his seeds had not been spilled. She got up and went to the well to fetch a bucket of cold water and gave him a towel and basin to wash his face.
"There are so many wild herbs in the mountains? Didn't you search several mountains? I said that when you are hunting, dig them up if you have them. If you don't have them, forget about them. I didn't ask you to dig up the herbs in several mountains.
It’s very tiring, and it’s dangerous to go into the mountains.”
She also goes into the mountains every day to exercise. There are not so many types of grass on the outskirts of Laoye Mountain.
Liao Qing enjoyed Xu Jiaojiao's concern so much that she put down the medicine pill and washed her face and hands.
"It's okay. I have long legs. My wife just wants some wild herbs, not gold and silver. Can't we satisfy her request? What's the point of climbing a few more mountains? I'm used to it. I'll go there tomorrow.
I haven’t been to the other ones. If I encounter a big ferocious beast, even if I can’t fight it, I can still run away. Don’t worry…”
Xu Jiaojiao glared at him, "Shut up, this guy is coming and going, and he's not married. It's not good to call his wife and let others hear her!"
"What's the matter? We're getting married soon. Well, my wife has built a new house for the wedding. She's going to give us the money, and I'm going to do the hard work. Let's make the yard beautiful. Come on, I'll transplant these wild herbs.
