1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"How is it going?"

Han Xiuying asked when they returned home.

"Although it is a little different from the ideal result, it is pretty close, which is also good." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Well, you guys take a rest at home, I'm going to take a walk in the mountains. You can eat when it's time, and we have to hunt some game back."

"Brother Chen, I'll go with you." Han Zhenwen said excitedly.

"Forget it." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Think about it yourself, how much worse is your skill than Lao Fang? Should you work harder? I gave you a chance in today's operation, can you grasp it?"

A series of question marks confused Han Zhenwen.

Looking to the side, his sister was also watching him eagerly, so he should just focus on picking soybeans.

"Don't worry, just leave some food for me. Take Doudou and stay at home. I'm afraid we'll run into wild boars again and it'll be hard to run." Chen Tiezhu looked at Han Xiuying and said happily.

"Well..., then you should come back earlier. There are always other times when you can't hunt, why do you have to go now?" Han Xiuying said with a slight complaint.

"I'll be busy next time." Chen Tiezhu said.

"See how lucky you are. If you're lucky, hunt more, collect them and freeze them, and eat them whenever you want. If you don't like cooking, you can get the stove culture."

"Brother Chen, what is the stove culture?" Han Zhenwen asked curiously.

"Train well, why are you asking nonsense." Han Xiuying glared at him.

"Doudou, dad is going hunting, play with sister Yingzi at home." Chen Tiezhu coaxed his daughter.

"Well, catch pheasants." Doudou instructed.

"Don't worry, Dad will go first."

After saying that, he carried his bow and arrow and went straight to the mountain.

The reason why he hurried to the mountain was to find time to do some work.

He had to work hard to farm, and the conditions at home were not enough to support it.

Now there were more than just him and Doudou at home, and there were people eating and drinking every day, so it was really difficult to farm.

After arriving in the mountain, he casually shot a few rabbits and pheasants, and then he went into the space.

First, he took a look at the ginseng, which was really good, and it was growing more and more like a radish.

Then he picked up a big pickaxe and started digging a hole.

Seriously speaking, he really had never farmed before. The only remaining knowledge about farming was found in the memory of his unlucky predecessor.

There was no need to plow, anyway, the soil in the space was awesome, just dig a hole and plant, and even fertilizer was not needed.

At the beginning, he could still think about the spacing between plants. Digging and digging, what about the spacing between plants, just dig and it's done.

This is the first time he has experienced agricultural production, and he feels personally that this work is really not for humans.

You see, patting cow dung is a bit tedious, but you can move around freely.

Now you have to bend over all the time when digging holes, and think about the future shoveling work and other work in the fields, Chen Tiezhu grinned.

No wonder it is said that farmers have a hard time, facing the loess and back to the sky, not to mention how heavy the work is, just this posture is hard to maintain.

No wonder many villagers in Erdaoling Village have a slight hunchback, this is really caused by hard work.

When patting cow dung, he wanted to go outside to carry a big bag. Now that he has started farming, he can't wait to pat cow dung.

Because you not only have to dig a good hole, you also have to sow seeds, right?

That is to say, his hands are accurate, otherwise he would have to do it twice.

Even in the space, after planting all the corns, he was sweating and pounding his waist.

Looking at the remaining grain and vegetable seeds, he gritted his teeth and used the method of scattering flowers.

If the folks in Erdaoling saw this, they would definitely scold him for being a spendthrift.

How expensive are grain and vegetable seeds?

Are you so bad?

He really had no other choice, because if he planted them slowly according to the previous method, he would have to work until the middle of the night even if time passed slowly in the space.

Looking at his "fruits of labor", Chen Tiezhu nodded with satisfaction.

Anyway, he worked hard, and the rest was left to the space.

However, he slowly frowned while admiring the fruits of his labor, as if something was wrong. Did the space become bigger?

Now he considered this problem, because under normal circumstances, these seeds could not be planted in the space even if they were scattered like this.

Because he bought not only many types, but also a lot of them.

Especially the vegetable seeds, one or two can buy a lot.

He ran to the small waterfall in the middle first.Here.

After seeing the pool clearly, Chen Tiezhu was overjoyed.

This was not his illusion, the pool here has become bigger.

It was only three meters square at the beginning, but now it is about four meters.

I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but the small hill here seems to have grown a little taller?

Then he ran around the space again...

After running a circle, he was really satisfied.

The original space was less than two acres in area, but now? It is nearly fifty meters long and nearly thirty-five meters wide, and the land area of ​​the space has increased by nearly one acre.

How can he not be happy?

Although it also means that the work will be more tiring in the future, it doesn’t matter. If it doesn’t work, I can realize mechanization in the space, and then I will have less worries.

After a while of happy fantasy, he turned the culture medium in the space with a stacking fork, and then simply cleaned it up and came out of the space.

Before he could stand firmly, he felt his feet slip and fell directly.

What the hell is this? Whose cat is playing in the woods?

He reached out and grabbed a spotted cat.

"Ah..., Ah..."

The kitten was quite fierce, baring its teeth and claws, and kept shouting.

"What's so great about you? You're still running around in the woods in the cold weather, a little wild cat, right? Do you want to give you a full household registration?" Chen Tiezhu grabbed the kitten's neck and scratched its belly.

Even though he had never raised a cat, he knew that this was the back of its neck.

It really worked. As soon as he picked it up, its four legs were obedient, and then looked at him with a sad face.

"Ah..."

The cat's cry was softer, but Chen Tiezhu frowned.

What's wrong?

Why is it shouting like that?

He lifted the cat in front of him and took a closer look. It was not a tiger cub.

No matter how small a tiger is, it must have stripes on its body.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck, and without thinking, he rolled to the side with all his strength.

"Bang..."

"Ah..."

A faint sound came from his ear, followed by a roar of an animal.

The stinging feeling still did not disappear, this time it was on the right side of the neck.

What else can he do, just keep rolling.

"Ah..."

This roar was accompanied by a sense of urgency.

Chen Tiezhu could see clearly that a large cat was crouching on its front legs, staring at him intently.

The body was more than one meter long, and the tail hanging by the side was nearly one meter long, and the eyes were cold.

The sweat that Chen Tiezhu had just dropped suddenly came out again.

This is not a cat, it is a leopard.

No one said there were leopards on Erdao Ridge...
