"The sun is shining on your butt, and you're still sleeping?!" Qin Ruoshu lifted the thin quilt covering Zhou Yan with a smirk on his face...
"Pervert, did you miscalculate? There's no way you can take off your clothes when you go to sleep..."
Zhou Yan sat up from the bed with a smile, raised his hand and looked at the time, it was only around ten in the morning.
Just as I was about to lie down, I pushed the door open and entered the room. She glanced meaningfully at the two people who were playing on the bed and coughed: "Son, get up. I'll go check on your uncle later and call them over."
have lunch!"
"Don't care about Lao Zhou anymore?"
"Old Zhou?" Mrs. Zhou Yan snorted coldly, "I have someone in charge of the food!"
In the afternoon, the whole family, men, women, old and young, went to work on their own land.
However, when the Zhou Yan family bought their tractor, it had a relatively complete set of functions, including plowing, raking, and fertilizing.
The most important thing for the whole family is to sit on the field bank and watch the excitement, while blowing the sunny spring breeze.
Although Zhoujialing has undergone earth-shaking changes under the flicker of a butterfly's wings, and the income of every household has reached a new level, even so, it cannot change the fact that all rural people are moving to the city.
The migration of rural people to cities has also led to a phenomenon: rural land is abundant: arable land that was in short supply five or six years ago has suddenly become useless.
Many villagers who stayed behind took this opportunity to exchange their farmland with others and make a large tract of land.
Father Zhou was also in this situation, so he was willing to spend a lot of money and bought a large machine.
More than ten acres of cultivated land were cultivated in just two hours.
After turning off the engine, Mr. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the tractor, and looked at the group of people watching the excitement with a smile: "It's finally over!"
"It's still early!" Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes, "My eldest sister just called me and asked if she had time. Their land hasn't been plowed yet!"
"Do I need to go too?" Qin Ruoshu, who was standing aside to watch the excitement, gently touched Zhou Yan.
"Go ahead and identify the door!"
Sunzhuang, where Aunt Zhou Yan lives, is located in an alluvial plain, so most of the cultivated land in Zhoujialing is much better. However, Aunt Zhou Yan's family contracted a small hill last year, so the cultivated land is naturally much worse than that of other families in the village.
Although my family got up early and had breakfast, when they arrived at Aunt Zhou Yan's house, the four of them were pressed in front of the table by the hospitable uncle and had a return breakfast.
Qin Ruoshu, who was woken up at around five o'clock in the morning, only regained some energy after having breakfast twice.
At this time, Qin Ruoshu discovered that Aunt Zhou Yan's new house was built on a hillside shaded by trees, and it looked somewhat like a hermit.
"Looks good!"
However, Qin Ruoshu, who was enjoying the pastoral atmosphere, soon stopped laughing: the young lady holding popcorn in her hand was stared at by the large rooster raised by her aunt.
Qin Ruoshu had seen a rooster before, but this was the first time she had seen one so ferocious and capable of fighting. The rooster that flew towards him scared the young lady out of her wits.
"Zhou Yan..."
Just when the eldest lady was at a loss, the aunt's wolf came out of his den and held the giant red-haired rooster under his claws.
"Scared me!"
The frightened eldest lady hurriedly hid next to Zhou Yan: "Are all roosters in the countryside so fierce?"
"There are even worse things," Zhou Yan said with a face full of gloating, "The big white geese raised by our pond are even more vicious. In the summer, those little boys in the village go to the pond to pick lotus seeds. They must not be pinched that time.
My legs are bruised and my arms are swollen..."
With that said, Zhou Yan took out a pack of beef jerky from his pocket, unpacked it and threw it in front of Gouzi.
The dog then let go of his cock, lifted up the beef jerky, and started enjoying it.
Miss Qin followed the same example and carefully placed the popcorn in front of Gouzi. To Miss Qin's surprise, Gouzi didn't seem to like popcorn.
"Brother, you said earlier that this dog shouldn't eat food from strangers, right?" Qin Ruoshu looked at Zhou Yan curiously, "But you haven't been here long?"
"Haha..." Zhou Yan squatted down with a smile and touched Lang Qing who was feasting, "I found someone to trade for this guy..."
"Brother, how about..."
"No way!" Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "Sister, your little cat is still being raised by your mother-in-law. Besides, raising large dogs in the capital requires a dog license, and raising dogs is much more troublesome than raising cats.
…”
"Too……"
"And..." Zhou Yan looked at his girlfriend with a smile, "Qin Ruoshu, a friendly reminder, the workload of the tree house hotel project is not small, and you still owe several assignments!"
"What homework?" Qin Ruoshu pretended to be dumbfounded.
"Still pretending to be stupid?" Zhou Yan smiled and pinched his girlfriend's chin, "Our family plans to rebuild the design of the courtyard house and the decoration of the new house..."
"Ah..." Qin Ruoshu fainted for a moment, but soon recovered, his eyes rolling around, "Brother, I want to discuss something with you, can you help me do it?"
"Aren't you going to give me some benefits?" Zhou Yan said with a wicked smile on his face.
Qin Ruoshu looked around in fear, then stood up on tiptoes and gently pecked Zhou Yan on the cheek.
"That's pretty much it. I've taken care of the renovation design of the courtyard and the decoration of the new house. It's just..." Zhou Yan looked at the shy Qin Ruoshu with a smile, "Don't regret it. Both of these projects are amazing.
At this moment, an untimely cough interrupted the sweet little warmth between the two.
"Um..." Mrs. Zhou Yan said with a smile on her face, "Son, this is your aunt's house, please pay attention to the influence..."
Qin Ruoshu's face was already a little red, but after being teased by her future mother-in-law, her face became even redder...
Aunt Zhou Yan’s family engages in ecological farming, which involves raising chestnuts, walnuts and poultry. It’s a little troublesome to cultivate the land.
However, since there are poultry grazing in the woodland, there is no shortage of farmyard manure, so you only need to plow deeply to dig the poultry manure into the soil. The only troublesome part is that you need to avoid the fruit trees.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the work was over. Zhou Yan wanted to run away, but he still couldn't escape his uncle's fierce eyes. He was pulled down before he could even get in the car.
During lunch, my uncle went to the forest to catch a dozen real free-range chickens, put them into woven bags, and stuffed them into Zhou Yan's carriage.
Zhou Yan was too embarrassed to refuse, so naturally his mother complained on the way: "I didn't do anything to help, and I even got food and drinks!"
The aunt who was sitting in the back seat of the pickup truck with my mother naturally had to protect her nephew: "Xiao Qin came home for the first time, and there is nothing good. He has been busy recently and has no time to buy..."
Li Village, where my grandma's family is located, is upstream from Sunzhuang and is also an alluvial plain, so farming is naturally very convenient.
Once upon a time, Father Zhou had always envied the plain lake land in Sunzhuang and Licun. The farmland was flat and could be used for mechanized planting. But since Zhou Yan launched a special planting project for the village, Father Zhou was no longer envious.
The cost of seeds and fertilizers for growing grains is too high. No matter how much land you plant, you can only get enough food and clothing. If you want to get rich, you have to look at other inputs; and the advantages of plain areas, before the special planting projects, naturally pale in comparison...
