Chapter 71 Wild Sweet Potatoes
Chapter 71 Wild Sweet Potatoes
The construction of the new house started, and Su Mu finally left something on his mind.
Su Chengjun is very satisfied with Su Mu's work. The foundations of other people's homes are [-] to [-] centimeters, but he directly built [-] centimeters, so that the foundation will be stronger.
With the help of the second uncle for the building materials, Su Mu doesn't have to worry too much, he just needs to give him the money on time.
Handing over the house to Su Chengjun, Su Mu pushed second uncle Su Daming's micro-tiller, put on a straw hat, and re-ploughed the place where the vegetables had been picked.
It's a pity that the road has not yet reached the field, and the field is flat. Otherwise, Su Mu thinks that he can buy a larger cultivator, and he only needs to sit on it to drive back and forth, which will be more convenient.
Su Mu thought to himself, after this season's crops are harvested, the villagers' land will be rented, and then a road will be built, so that it will be convenient for both plowing the land and harvesting vegetables.
But we have to wait for a month or two, when the house will be built, it can be handed over to Su Chengjun.
In fact, even if it was building a house, Su Mu didn't negotiate the price with him. They were all from his own family. Su Mu was very relieved of his behavior.
After plowing the land for a while, the sun was a little bright and the weather was a little hot. Su Mu ran to the stream, scooped up a handful of stream water with lotus leaves and drank it, and immediately felt refreshed.
Looking at the fields and washing his face with stream water, Su Mu felt refreshed.
Now I have planted more than ten acres of this field in the village, which is a total of more than 100 acres. If all of them are taken down, I can plan them in pieces and carry out large-scale planting, which can save a lot Human and material resources.
It's just that you have to take your time in everything, don't rush, save some money first during this period, and then you can renovate the land.
As long as the field is tidied up, the goal will be to plant fruit trees in the mountains in the future, and then there will be the continuous wasteland on the mountains. Su Mu is anxious, but very patient.
"Su Mu, you are here."
Just as Su Mu was sitting on the grass by the stream to rest, a delicate voice came from behind him.
Looking back, it was Chen Anran, the village head.
She was wearing a white dress and a straw hat, and she was walking towards this side with light steps.
"Mr. Chen, why are you here? It's dog days and it's very hot. Aren't you afraid of heatstroke?"
Looking like this, Chen Anran is from the city, and he has never experienced hardship, let alone the weather is so hot now.
However, it can be seen that after coming to the village, Chen Anran has gradually adapted, and she no longer walks crookedly like a child.
The roads in the countryside are difficult to walk. In the past, an elder in the village brought a daughter-in-law back from other places. When he first came, he could not walk on the road and had to carry it on his back. Later, he gradually got used to it. He ran faster than anyone else and was very capable. .
"Hee hee, I have nothing to do today. I'm bored in the office, so I just want to come out to see the scenery and see how the crops are doing this year."
"Although I'm only the acting village head now, I still have to come down from time to time to find out the specific situation."
Chen Anran came over with a smile and sat down beside Su Mu.
There are beautiful mountains and clear waters here, and the scenery is excellent. She likes this kind of leisurely life very much.
"I see that the construction of your house has started. Congratulations. You are now the big boss of our village. I often hear people in the village praise you."
Chen Anran looked at Su Mu with envy.
Although Su Mu is a rural person born and raised here, he is as simple, kind and hardworking as everyone else, and the most important thing is that he is capable. He built a villa right after graduation.
The current Su Mu can be said to be the richest man in the village.
"Where is it, I'm just lucky. If there are no new technologies, I can't grow anything famous. But to be honest, I like my life now. I work hard on everything by myself. It's okay. When I’m here, I just walk around the village, take a look at the scenery, and admire the flowers and plants.”
"Cun Zhang, do you want sweet potatoes? I'll dig them for you."
Seeing that there are wild sweet potatoes by the stream, Su Mu picked up the sickle and began to rummage while talking.
This sweet potato is not that sweet potato, not the big one that grows in the ground, but a small thumb-sized sweet potato that grows from wild vines.
Soon, Su Mu dug out a thumb-sized sweet potato, washed it in the stream and handed it to Chen Anran.
"This, can I eat it?"
Seeing this thing for the first time, Chen Anran was not surprised, and looked at Su Mu foolishly.
She thought it was that kind of big sweet potato.
"Hey, of course you can eat it. It's very sweet. There are most of these sweet potato ditches because the soil here is good and there's no shortage of water. They grow very big. Try it."
Su Mu said and handed the small sweet potatoes to Chen Anran, then picked up the sickle and continued to rummage in the soil along the vines.
When Su Mu was young, whether he was mowing grass or herding cattle, he could find a lot of delicious food in this season.
In addition to sweet potatoes, there are also white rice berries, red rice berries, thatch cores, and red seeds on the mountain, all of which are very sweet.
When Su Mu used to herd cattle, he often went up the mountain with an empty bottle, and when he came back, he filled the bottle with white rice.
"Well, it's really delicious and sweet."
Since Su Mu said it was edible, Chen Anran tasted it with confidence, but unexpectedly the taste was really good.
She really didn't expect that the countryside is so good, there are so many delicious little things.
"It's okay, you can eat whatever you want. There are still some here, but you can't eat too much. You have to peel it off to see if there are any small bugs in it. If you eat that kind, you will have diarrhea."
While talking, Su Mu handed Chen Anran a few more small sweet potatoes.
Soon, Su Mu dug out more than a dozen small sweet potatoes, each of which was very big, bright red, and very plump.
"I really didn't expect that there are so many delicious things in the countryside. It's so fun. I heard that there are chicken fir and white rice. It's a pity that I didn't see them. Those must be delicious."
After eating the sweet and sweet wild sweet potatoes, Chen Anran was very excited and looked forward to it.
"What are you talking about? Chicken fir is usually available in spring after the spring rain, and less in summer, but it should still be there now, but you have to go to the mountains to find it."
"If you want to eat rice, you have to go to the mountain, but you have to walk for a while. If you want to eat, I can take you to find it."
Thinking that he was fine, and that Chen Anran had helped him a lot in approving the building of the house, Su Mu felt that he could take her around.
Although Chen Anran has been here for a while, it is estimated that he has never been to the mountain.
"Really, that's great, won't it waste your time?"
Hearing Su Mu's words, Chen Anran became inexplicably excited, and looked at him expectantly.
For a city dweller like her, these are all rare objects, and she is very curious.
"Okay, I'm fine now, let's go then."
Seeing that it was still early, Su Mu got up and put the sickle behind his back, and led Chen Anran in front.
The two of them walked up the mountain road for about a kilometer, and then they reached the slope. Now it is almost flat, and the road is easier to walk.
Su Mu was afraid that Chen Anran would run out of energy halfway, but he didn't expect that he would underestimate her. After walking up the mountain for such a long distance, he didn't feel very tired, which reassured Su Mu a lot.
"Yeah, this is also a scorpion, right?"
Just walking up the mountain on the grass road, Chen Anran had sharp eyes, and soon found a few red pimples on the side of the road, looked at Su Mu excitedly, and then went directly to pick the pimples off.
