After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pa

When Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui went out, they indeed carried two fire sticks in their hands, but the sticks were only as thick as fingers, which made Xia Zhi shake her head.

This stick will break even if it hits a chicken, let alone a wolf.

Who can I protect with this thing?

Sure enough, when the two of them saw the two sticks as thick as bowls in Liu Qianjin's hand, their faces suddenly turned red.

They also didn't think that such a stick could be used as a weapon.

Compared with other people's, it's like a piece of cake. There's no way to compare.

"I'll take a look on the road later. If I meet someone suitable, I'll find two for you. Leave them behind the door on weekdays. You can hold them against the door at night when nothing happens. It can be used for self-defense."

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui nodded hurriedly.

Both of them are people who understand the world, and they know that what others say is not meant to belittle them, and it is for their own good.

Two more people joined the group. They talked and laughed and walked towards the reed swamp.

Arrive at the reed marsh.

Xia Zhi took a sickle and taught Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui how to cut reeds and choose the best reeds for weaving mats.

Then he handed the sickle to the two of them. It was relatively simple to put this thing away, and it was not a troublesome task.

He also warned the two people to pay attention to the dangers here. Although the two people he took were going to a place where reeds grow, something would happen if they accidentally stepped on the reeds.

Seeing the two people working seriously there, she took Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiya to look for wild duck eggs not far from them.

With the episode in the morning, it is obvious that although Liu Qianjin has the IQ of a child, he is also a smart child.

Others follow the same example, and in the afternoon there is no need to do anything during the summer solstice.

In other words, a basket of duck eggs was picked out from the reeds in a short time.

Xia Zhi made two more baskets by hand.

Weaved two baskets and a large basket.

The basket was carried on Liu Qianjin's back.

Liu Qianjin was just like a child. He was very happy when he saw that he had a new backpack.

But I didn’t have time to go deep into this reed swamp, and I didn’t find any lotus roots.

If there are lotus roots, I want to grind lotus root powder during the summer solstice.

This will save you a lot of money on breakfast.

In order to fill her stomach, Xia Zhi has been using her brain.

Anyway, she made up her mind to find a way to explore the surrounding area before it snowed heavily. In addition to the reed marsh, there were also several surrounding places.

If you have time, see if you can hunt rabbits or pheasants.

When it snows, everyone will not go out of their dens.

Even if I leave my home, it's just to clear the snow.

And after tomorrow they will have to participate in the work of repairing canals and roads.

This job only has two days off per month.

She had participated in this kind of work, which was hard and tiring. Most tired people would go back to their burrows and fall asleep.

I don't even want to wash myself, let alone do any other work.

Give them three days of rest as Zhou Zhengan said, and today is the first day.

There are still two days available tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

It seems that we need to take Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiyan for a good look around.

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui watched Xia Zhi teach them how to weave mats step by step.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhi's hands were so skillful. The reed quickly took the shape of a mat in her hands.

Originally, they also felt that Xia Zhi and Captain Zhou had a close relationship.

He must be the kind of person who is coquettish and willful or a little arrogant.

But now I watched Xia Zhi help them weave mats, teaching them seriously and teaching them step by step how to do it.

Suddenly, they felt that this kind of summer solstice was too down-to-earth, completely different from the summer solstice they imagined.

The two of them were educated youths on another train, so they were assigned here and had no idea about the details of Xia Zhi.

The Xia Zhi they saw was the one everyone was talking about as being partial to Captain Zhou.

Who would have thought that Summer Solstice could do anything.

"Xia Zhi, how come you know how to weave mats?"

"I did everything at home and learned a little bit."

Naturally, Xia Zhi would not tell others that he had done all these things by himself in his previous life. Practice makes perfect.

How could I not live another life and do these things again?

Suddenly Liu Qianjin's excited voice came from afar.

"Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia found the one you mentioned here."

When Xia Zhi heard this, he looked happy and stood up quickly.

"You two should be careful when weaving mats here. You must not let down your guard around you. Don't think that the white wolf won't go out."

The two of them trembled after hearing this, and their eyes scanned the surroundings warily.

Xia Zhi hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, he pushed aside the reeds in the distant reeds and saw the withered lotus leaves on the mud.

Currently there are no lotus roots grown here.

In 1959, lotus root cultivation was introduced. However, it is not yet popular.

She guessed that there might be lotus roots in these reed swamps. Of course, this was because when lotus roots were introduced for planting, some seeds were brought back from various places.

Some places were successfully planted, while others ended up being abandoned.

There are theoretically seeds in this place, but there are not many places where they can be planted.

The only successful place back then was not here, which shows that Lotus Root has failed in these places.

Because of failure, many people just let those lotus root seeds fend for themselves.

It is precisely because of this that there are always some strong seeds that will survive on their own.

After all, a lot of lotus roots were later introduced here in the border area, and lotus roots are still very economically effective in the local area in large-scale planting areas.

Unexpectedly, they found it by mistake.

When Xia Zhi saw the dead leaves, he couldn't help patting Liu Qianjin on the shoulder in praise.

"Liu Qianjin really has yours. He can find something good this time."

But digging lotus roots is not an easy thing to do. If you accidentally get stuck in this place at any time, you will not be able to get out.

I tried to use a bamboo pole to poke it into the mud where I found it, but to my surprise, the lotus roots were not buried deep enough.

Soon I touched the hard lotus root at the bottom.

It seems there is a way.

Without saying a word, Xia Zhi went to cut the reeds and came back to weave them into several small mats.

She moved very quickly, and in a short time, several mats were spread around the lotus roots she found like floor mats.

Lying on the mat, the body area is large, so that it will not sink in the mud.

When he came to the lotus root, he used the sickle in his hand to pull away the soil.

Because the wind and sand here are strong, the water loss from the soil is relatively large all year round. Although it is still mud, this mud is nothing compared to the real lotus root mud candy.

Xia Zhi felt relieved. It seemed that he had thought too much. This place was really not a quagmire.

I stood up and tried the hardness under my feet. Sure enough, there was no problem with supporting the person's weight.

Not to mention that I dug up a basket full of lotus roots in a short time.

Couldn't find it anywhere else.

It seems that even if there is one, we should look for it in other places in the reed pond. Since there are other places here, there will be one or two fish that have slipped through the net.

But according to today’s harvest, it’s pretty good.
