Chapter 99 99. My wife knows so much more than my daughter

The midday sun shines on the small town.

There is snow everywhere on the mountains, on the roofs, and on the roadsides. The whole world is white and quiet.

In such weather, it would not be cold just to sit in the house and warm up by the fire. Nance was drinking tea made from unknown leaves and squinting outside the house. In his eyes, the crystal icicles hanging from the eaves looked like

The beautiful crystal decoration is equally charming.

During tea time, the wind kept blowing.

"Tea leaves are picked in the mountains." Mrs. Li knitted a sweater and said: "Dry them in the summer and drink them in winter. It can not only quench your thirst, but also warm your body."

In the winter beams, dust tangles with each other.

The tea is fragrant, with a light aftertaste, and the atmosphere of drinking tea is great.

"It tastes good!" Susha smacked her mouth.

"What plant's leaves are they?" Nance asked.

"Ah, I really don't know the name. People here call it small-leaf flower." Mrs. Li smiled and looked at Nance: "The flower tree is short and blooms in July. Because it smells good, I will try it.

We pluck them for tea. Some exotic animals also like to eat this flower."

"Are there many activities of alien animals?" Nance asked.

"Usually they are active in winter. In summer, when there is plenty of food in the mountains, they generally don't come out to get close to humans. But in winter, when the mountains are covered with heavy snow, all the vegetarian animals are gone, so the meat-eating beasts will frequently appear near the town."

"For the stuttering."

When Susha heard about the food, she tilted her head and muttered: "I'm so hungry."

"I'm going to make lunch for you." Mrs. Li put away the needle and thread, stood up and gave a slight salute before walking to the kitchen. The kitchen could be seen from the living room at a glance. She rolled up her sleeves and washed vegetables by the sink.

The back view is quite pretty.

A light yellow sweater and an ankle-length beige skirt.

Her long black hair was tied loosely into a bunch and stuck to her back. She looked very gentle and virtuous.

"Why are mothers and daughters so different..." Nance sometimes looked at his wife, and sometimes at his wife's little daughter. The sun shone into the house from the eaves, and the little daughter turned over and continued to take a nap on the floor.

The light was bright, and her delicate little face was covered with a layer of bright and charming colors.

What a lovely girl.

This shining look would make even an angel feel ashamed. It's a pity that she has a mouth that can speak human words.

"You guys who are sleeping in, please open your eyes quickly." Nance shook the girl's shoulder.

Li Qingxian opened her eyes slightly to look at him, then closed them again. When Nance shook her shoulders for the second time, she rubbed her eyes and sat up reluctantly: "Uncle, can you stop recruiting people like this?"

Hate."

"Your father is working in the fields and your mother is preparing lunch. Why do you have the nerve to sleep?" Nance asked.

"Ha~"

The girl yawned and lazily walked towards the kitchen.

She has a very delicate little heart, and through Nance's tone, she can tell that he wants to help her mother cook.

Normally she would be too lazy to move, but she was even more lazy to chat with Nance here, so she simply moved to the kitchen to sleep.

Just when she reached the door of the kitchen, she yawned again. Her body struggled with laziness for a few seconds, and then her whole body became paralyzed.

The shadow immediately jumped up from the ground, held the main body in his arms, then turned around and said to Nance angrily: "Don't force the main body to work, otherwise she will be unhappy!"

Nance thought, no problem.

From now on, I'll just force the shadow.

After more than ten minutes, Mrs. Li brought an iron pot from the kitchen and placed it on the fire pit.

In the pot was a chowder of potatoes, onions and some pork. She put it on a plate and gave everyone a bowl of rice.

The dish was very simple, but the seasoning was good. Nance ate quite happily. After finishing the meal and drinking a cup of tea, his whole body felt warm. It was time to get down to business.

Mrs. Li packed some food in a thermos box and woke her little daughter: "Bring lunch to your dad."

Li Qingxian pursed his lips reluctantly.

"Be good and don't let Nance see the joke. Such a cute kid, how can he be so lazy?" Mrs. Li gently leaned next to her daughter, put her fingers into her daughter's hair, and scratched the pink hair, making it fluffy.

Then he put his nose against his daughter's face and said, "Qingxian, mommy loves you..."

Li Qingxian hesitated for a moment.

It was obvious that she was not interested in this kind of parent-child interaction. Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to curse "stupid"?

However, she still did not call her own mother stupid after all, and it seemed that she still maintained her moral bottom line after all. Nance was deeply gratified by this.

After her mother took her hand away, the girl shook her little head a few times, and her fluffy pink hair returned to its vertical shape.

"Uncle, let's go!" She raised her eyelids and glanced at Nance, humming: "I'll take you to meet that weirdo who only cares about seeds."

Nance put on his coat and hat, and bowed to Mrs. Li: "I'm going out."

"Be careful on the road." Mrs. Li smiled warmly, bent down to take Nance's leather shoes from the shoe cabinet, squatted down, and helped Nance put on his shoes while saying to him in a gentle voice: "It's cold outside.

, it gets dark early, you come back early, I will prepare dinner at home and wait for you."

Nance's eyes fell on her slender neck.

She is really a gentle and skillful lady.

——She knows how to please a man better than her younger daughter.

"Goo!"

Dora A rolled his eyes mischievously.

Little A thinks that next time he sees the Queen, he must tell the Queen that Nance likes wives!

Although it is not snowing outside, there is a strong wind and it still feels difficult to walk on the road. There are few pedestrians on the street, so the narrow streets feel much wider, maintaining the unique silence of remote areas.

When I reached the edge of the fence, I saw people gathering under an announcement.

As Nance passed by, he glanced at the announcement.

[Cement workers: male, 20-40 years old, in good physical condition, paid 200 pence per day]

[Lathe worker: required to be male, 25-50 years old, with lathe experience, and be paid 300 pence per day]

[Handyman: male required, no age limit, pay 100p per day]

The townspeople surrounding the announcement made a loud discussion; in front of the nearby small hotel, some people who looked like mercenaries were looking towards the mountains to the north.

"The cement workers are recruited to strengthen the city walls, and the lathe workers are hired to process firearms, both to prevent the impact of alien beasts." Li Qingxian half-squinted his eyes and said impatiently, "There are also those mercenaries who come here every winter, trying to get rid of alien beasts.

I'm trying to get some oil and water out of myself, but it's so noisy and annoying."

Her words made Miss Su's eyes light up.

The organs of some exotic animals are precious ingredients for potions. If you can encourage Nance to go hunting in the mountains, I will make a fortune, hahahaha... A lustful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she blinked her eyes.

She looked at Nance with peach blossom eyes: "Hey, dear..."

"Go away, it's impossible, give up!" Nance directly persuaded him to retreat and hit him three times in a row.

Miss Su was unwilling and aggrieved, so she kicked him out violently.

Nance, who had long expected that she would move her foot, immediately avoided it and let her kick the air.

Miss Su's legs are slender and beautiful, and she is also wearing a pair of queen-like high-heeled leather boots, which are really eye-catching.

It's a pity that the temperature is low today and the roadside is icy, so slippery that even walking normally would make you fall.

A full-out kick missed her, and she lost her center. After staggering two steps, she fell directly onto the ice with a thud, and then slid down the slope leading out of the wall.

Outside the town, the undulating road sections between mountains formed a gently extending snow valley, just like a specially designed ski trail.

Miss Su crashed into the snowdrift on the roadside and half of her body was buried in the snow.

"Asshole!" she cursed at Nance.

"I just want to see you make a fool of yourself." Nance walked over with an owl on his head.

"You guy!" Susha stood up tremblingly, brushed off the white snow on her hair, then bent down and kneaded a snowball and hit the side of his face. Before Nance could fight back, she sat down.

On the ice, he continued to slide down the slope, leaving a string of very heroic laughter along the way.

Warm sunshine shone on the silent ice, and a little girl of seven or eight years old came over shaking a bell in her hand. She was frightened by the laughter and fell down.

Miss Su slipped past her with a gust of wind. Nance, who was dragging behind, picked up the little girl and placed her on the non-slippery mud next to her. Then she warned: "Don't imitate this sister when you grow up."

The little girl blinked in confusion.

"Ah~" Li Qingxian yawned as he passed by.

Her steps were shaky all the way, and she was really worried that she would fall into a ditch or the cow dung on the roadside. The cow dung was fresh and steaming. Nance just saw with his own eyes that a cow was right there.

He raised his tail under his eyes, and then plopped a big lump on the ground.

It's so inappropriate to let a beautiful girl have her face buried in cow dung.

Nance looked back at the girl's swaying body, slowed down and walked side by side with her, so that he could hold her in time if she was about to fall.

"I have a shadow, no need for uncle to worry!" Li Qingxian took a long breath and stretched.

She was wearing a dark blue and rose red coat with a romantic feel, and blue trousers.

Her forehead is fair and her lips are delicate and cute, but her eyes are always lazy, which is a pity for the youthful energy that is almost overflowing in her body.

"Why didn't you have lunch just now?" Nance asked her.

Li Qingxian cleared his throat and said boringly: "The rice cooked by my mother is too terrible. I don't want to eat it. I want to eat dry fried chicken, hamburger beef patties, raisin soft cakes..."

"These things are high in sugar and calories, so eat less of them." Nan Si said earnestly, "At your current age, you should eat more nutritious food so that you can grow up better."

"Long-winded uncle." Li Qingxian muttered in a low voice.

"I think you need to be considerate to mom..." Nance thought about Mrs. Li's behavior last night and was about to say something to her. However, Li Qingxian preempted him and asked him: "What did you and my mom do last night?"

?”

"..."

Li Qingxian looked at him suspiciously: "My mother is too enthusiastic about you, which is obviously beyond common sense!"

"It's indeed a bit beyond common sense." Nance smiled and said calmly: "It's not that I'm quibbling, but because of what your mother said last night, it makes it hard for me to shirk it. It's a long story to explain, but anyway.

, summed up in one sentence: She asked me to take good care of you sisters."

"take care of?"

"That's right, just taking care of her. She was afraid that the fire at your city gate would harm you and your sister, two fishes in the pond, so she asked me to take you away."

"Funny." Li Qingxian curled his lips indifferently.

"It's pretty funny," Nance admitted.

"Hey, are you attracted to my mother?" The girl put on a very mature look, shook her head and said: "I tell you, although I hate my father, I don't want to replace you as my stepfather.

! All adults are like this, no one likes them..."

"...How are you talking!"

Nance gave her a big mouthful.

The beating was very light, just to teach him a lesson.

"It's so funny!" Li Qingxian said the last sentence, and then he ran forward with the thermos box in hand, chasing Susha's back and yelling: "Sister Su, let me tell you, uncle is a wife man, he looks at it

Fucked my mom..."

Nance shook his head helplessly.

Alas, she is really a troubled girl and needs to be disciplined.

The weather was cool and clear, and from time to time the chirping of birds would pierce the air sharply.

After leaving the town, they were surrounded by snow-covered farmland, with some straw roots popping up in the snow. The three of them headed towards the mountains to the north. There were some thatched houses scattered among the fields.

The dilapidated house made people worry that it would be blown up into the sky by a strong wind.

A plastic greenhouse appeared at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Nance walked through the field path and stepped onto a single-plank bridge over the creek. The cold wind blew on his face.

※※※※※

Winter is not a suitable season for farming.

Li Ting has always disliked winter.

After moving to Nanwan Town with his family, he likes to stay in the house every winter. He writes some handwritten articles on agriculture and publishes them online for free. In addition to the principles of agriculture, he also discusses physics and philosophy with people online.

...His life in Nanwan Town was extremely fulfilling, but he occasionally felt a sense of dissatisfaction and resentment.

This winter has been extremely cold and long.

Dark clouds enveloped the land and quickly covered the water with a thin layer of ice. The climate suddenly surpassed the soil eroded by natural disasters and became the number one enemy of agricultural production.

Early this morning, Li Ting put on his big boots and coat and went to inspect the experimental field. He waded through the icy stream that was dazzling in the sun, sometimes stepping on the ice, and sometimes sinking into the snow.

This plastic shed located at the foot of the mountain is where he devoted his life's efforts.

When he opened the door, the workers who came to help had not arrived yet, so he first went to check on the livestock.

The cows had been put into the paddock, their coats shining, basking in the sun and mooing to the grass.

Li Ting stared at the group of cows with admiration. He knew their situation clearly, when they gave birth, when they were in estrus, what type of bull they liked... He broke off a branch, opened the calf's fence, and looked at the cows.

With a smile on his face, he drove these little guys away and let them go to bask in the sun and exercise.

The calves born this winter are exceptionally good.

According to Li Ting's estimate, the slaughter period only takes a little more than a year, which is three to five months earlier than the current mainstream beef cattle in the empire. Moreover, the nutritional quality of the meat is not bad, but the taste is a bit poorer. In terms of breeding, this breed of beef cattle

It will also save costs, as only dry roughage is mixed with a small proportion of soybean meal, and a small amount of protein is added.

Such beef is destined not to be recognized by upper class society.

But if they can be successfully promoted and cultivated on a large scale, their meat can cut the current price of beef in half and become the most important source of nutrition for the residents of the empire.

Li Ting took out hay feed from the barn and sprinkled it in the trough to feed the calves.

The wooden fence next to the trough was broken. He planned to call the carpenter to repair it yesterday, but unfortunately the carpenter was called by the town government to repair the fence and was not available to help. He had no choice but to plan to do it today.

After finishing the work at hand, you can stay and repair by yourself. It doesn't matter if you go home late.

The sun gradually rose, and the nearby peasant women came to the experimental field to help.

Li Ting had no wages for them, but promised to share some grain with everyone during the harvest.

In such a remote town, having food is already very good, so many housewives who are idle at home are willing to come over and help. Moreover, Li Ting also promised that in addition to keeping some of these new varieties of food seeds for research,

, the rest are distributed to everyone for free.

Some of the townspeople who were originally envious of the high-yielding grain crops in his experimental fields were now willing to work for him.

A large group of peasant women and scattered old men were busy reclaiming wasteland.

The shovel dug into the hard soil, making a strange vibration that broke the tight air.

Li Ting searched in the warehouse for a long time, then ran out and shouted: "Aunt Mary, I told you yesterday that the harrow needs to be repaired. You must know that today we have to harrow the fields."

"ah?"

A peasant woman raised her head in surprise.

"Didn't you ask me to repair it today?"

"What I'm talking about is that I asked you to repair it yesterday. Your ears are really hard to use..." Li Ting yelled, but thinking that it was useless to get angry now, he stopped mid-sentence and just sighed: "Come and repair it quickly, you can rake it."

One point at a time, don’t waste everyone’s time.”

Aunt Mary hurried into the warehouse.

Li Ting turned to another farmer woman and asked: "What happened to the six acres of land that was raked yesterday?"

"I've asked Vasily to go over and plant the seeds. At least three acres of land can be planted today."

"Why can't they all be sown?" Li Ting shouted.

"The shed over there hasn't been erected yet, and the ground is covered with snow..."

"Okay, hurry up and take a few people to build a plastic greenhouse. Don't let the low temperature delay the harvest."

"immediately!"

The peasant woman waved her hand and immediately led a few people to the warehouse to get wooden stakes and plastic.

Li Ting was a little annoyed and went to help.

Even if only half of the six acres of land are planted, the seeds are sown under the ice and snow without even building a shed. The harvest will definitely be affected, and these few acres of land will be wasted.

"Why are there so few people?"

"Everyone is busy with their own things."

"What?"

"Five people are planting potato seedlings, four people are feeding eggs and ducks, and, No, look..." The speaker pointed to the dairy shed, "It takes three people to milk the cows..."

Li Ting glanced at the dairy barn.

Three gray-haired old men, wearing fur boots and thick bloated coats, were working slowly.

"Why!"

Li Ting waved his hand angrily.

Really, it would be great if there were enough labor force on such a clear and sunny day.

"Ignat!" he shouted to the young man who rolled up his sleeves and was feeding the ducks, "go to the town and call some young people..."

"Master, where are there any young people in the town now..." the man shouted helplessly, "the young men are either going to build the city wall, or they are going to the big cities..."

Li Ting was silent.

He encountered resistance again. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, there would never be a bigger miracle in such a remote place...

"I'll go take a look, just wait..." The man who called Ignat wiped his hands and ran outside the experimental field.

"Master, we still need a manpower here!" The peasant woman feeding the ducks shouted at the top of her voice, "We need to find someone to do Ignat's job!"

"We need it here too. There are no young people to build the shed. It's all up to us women..."

"Master, the rake can't be repaired well, please come over and take a look..."

The whole experimental field was noisy and there was a lack of people everywhere, which made people feel dizzy.

A calf snorted, held up its reins, and walked briskly with its hooves.

Li Ting looked around silently.

If he had enough manpower, he could plant 300 acres of wheat, 100 acres of potatoes, and 150 acres of corn; he could open a pasture next to the experimental field, dig a pond, and build a movable corral to accumulate fertilizer...

…It won’t be long before not a single acre of land in this town will be left uncultivated.

Immersed in a helpless mood, Mavericks approached him and snorted a few white breaths.

A neatly dressed young man walked in from the experimental field with an owl on his head. Next to him was a tall woman with long gray-white hair. Both of them seemed to be able to work in the fields... As for the girl with pink hair

, forget it, owls are more useful than her.

As a result, when Nance and Miss Su just walked in, a middle-aged man gave them a saw and a hoe respectively. One was building a plastic greenhouse, and the other was hoeing the fields.

Even the owl, after "cooing" in horror, was taken to the chicken coop to hatch eggs.

"Ha~"

Li Qingxian put on a rebellious face.

She was too tired to even look at her old father, so she let Shadow carry her up to the roof.

I squinted my eyes and went to sleep in the sun.

There is a party tonight, so I posted this chapter in advance.
