Scholars in the courtyard

"Wangcai, give it to me and bite it to death!"

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the door, Liu Haizhong happened to be in his yard.

Liu Haizhong had just woken up from the threat of Wangcai, and his body started to tremble instinctively.

Behind them, the Liu Guangqi brothers were blocked by their father. They were even more frightened when they heard Yang Xiaotao's angry shouts. They immediately turned around and ran away before Wangcai could rush forward.

As soon as the two brothers ran away, their backs felt empty in their bangs.

At this time, Wangcai had already ran over, opened his mouth and bit Liu Haizhong's calf.

Even though he looks fat with his bangs, he has pretty good skills.

Especially in the steel rolling mill, I developed my strength by swinging a hammer. At the critical moment, I turned sideways to avoid Wangcai's bite and ran out.

"You two bastards!"

Seeing his son running away without a trace, Liu Hai was furious. I heard the dog barking again, so I could only run outside quickly.

However, no matter how flexible he is, he can't compare to Wangcai.

ah……

Liu Haizhong felt a chill on his buttocks. He howled, his speed suddenly increased, and he ran into the house.

Woof~~~

Wangcai stood in front of Liu Haizhong's house and kept shouting.

Liu Haizhong was lying on a stool. The second aunt led three children to block the door, and the windows were closed tightly.

"Oh, oh, look what's going on?"

Liu Haizhong pointed at his butt and said ouch. The second aunt didn't take it seriously and just thought she was scared.

"Hurry up, this hurts me so much!"

Liu Haizhong shouted quickly when he saw no one was paying attention to him.

The second aunt came to her senses and hurried over.

I saw three slits in the pants in the bangs, and the white flesh inside could be seen through the slits.

The second aunt quickly reached out and touched it. When she took it out and saw that there was no blood, she said, "It's okay, it's just that the clothes are torn. It's okay!"

Liu Haizhong finally came to his senses and reached out to touch his butt for a while. It was really fine.

But thinking about the clothes I was wearing, I felt heart palpitations again.

Fortunately, the weather is cold and I wear plenty of clothes.

If only it were summer!

Bangzhong trembled with fear.

"What are you two bastards running for?"

Liu Haizhong looked at the three brothers blocking the door. There were dogs barking outside the door. He didn't dare to exercise his authority as a parent, so he sat on the stool and cursed twice.

Afterwards, I got up and went back to the house to change my pants.

In the backyard, Xu Damao was lying in the crack of the door, looking at the arrogant wealth and not daring to go out.

Several other residents, when they saw Liu Haizhong being driven home by a dog, they hid in the house and kept an eye on the children for fear of being bitten by the dog.

It wasn't until Yang Xiaotao walked to the backyard that Wangcai stopped howling, and the people in the backyard were safe.

"Bangs, get the fuck out of here?"

"Didn't you come and kick the door? If you have the ability, kick it, but if you don't have the ability, come out?"

Bang bang

Yang Xiaotao kicked up the door of Liu Haizhong's house, and the door bolt flew into the air.

Just as Yang Xiaotao rushed in with the bench, Wang Dashan and Uncle Chen who came from the middle courtyard quickly stopped him. They pulled Yang Xiaotao to the door and talked happily.

"Come out, come out if you can, and I will challenge your whole family alone!"

Yang Xiaotao shouted at the door. Cold sweat broke out in his bangs in the room. He looked at the terrified Yang Xiaotao through the gap in the door, sitting at the table and not moving.

The three Liu Guangqi brothers felt bitter in their hearts. The three of them had suffered the consequences of their father's evil deeds.

"I'm telling you, this dog was raised to guard against evil people like you."

"You fucking listen, if you dare to come to my house again and act recklessly, you deserve to be bitten to death by a dog."

"If you don't believe me, go and ask what the crime of breaking into a private house is."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao struggled away, led Wangcai home, and then went out to work.

The people watching the excitement dispersed immediately.

With his bangs propped up on the table, his face was pale, but he was gritting his teeth, "Asshole, bastard!"

boom

The enamel jar was thrown out, and a jar of water hit Liu Guangtian at the door, instantly knocking him unconscious.

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu on both sides quickly ducked away, leaving Liu Guangtian stunned.

Fortunately, the water was not hot and only wet Liu Guangtian's body. But then Liu Haizhong rushed to the door, holding a feather duster in his hand and whipped it towards Liu Guangtian.

"Why are you running?"

"I told you to run, but you still dare to hide? Get over here!"

"Stand still!"

bang bang bang

Liu Guangtian was holding his head, his body was wet and still being beaten. On the other side, Liu Guangfu was hiding behind the second aunt.

But Liu Guangqi, who also escaped and came back, acted as if nothing was wrong. He picked up the jar on the ground, poured water into it, drank, and watched the show.

When Liu Haizhong vented his anger on Liu Guangtian, the story of being chased and bitten by Wangcai had already spread in the courtyard.

Especially the second uncle, who was blocked at the door by Wangcai and did not dare to come out. Now he is still taking out his anger on the children at home.

In the following days, no one in the courtyard asked Yang Xiaotao about the dog.

Yang Xiaotao commutes to and from get off work as usual, and the rhythm of life remains the same.

When he is not at home, Wangcai is taken care of by Uncle Chen. He walks his dog in the alley and is teased by children from time to time. He is integrated into the daily life of the courtyard.

As the days passed, the people in the courtyard got used to having such a dog.

In the entire courtyard, except for the second uncle who was indignant, the other two uncles seemed to have not seen it and did not say a word about Yang Xiaotao's raising of the dog.

As for the second uncle, after the lesson he learned that day, the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light, and there was no follow-up at all.

This made the people in the courtyard a little disappointed that they could not see the good show.

But it also made everyone understand that the uncles really had nothing to do with Yang Xiaotao, so they accepted the matter of raising dogs.

Silly Zhu sat at the door, looking at Wangcai lying on the bed, with anger in his eyes, "The second uncle is so stupid!"

“Just find a time when no one is around, get a set of ropes, and you’ll have a meal of dog meat!”

"It's true that there is not enough success and more than failure, second uncle!"

Silly Zhu was still thinking about dog meat and didn't realize that Wang Cai looked at him with a playful look.

Xiaowei told it that if this guy doesn't deal with its owner, he must take a bite when he finds an opportunity.

In the backyard, Xu Damao also yelled and scolded Liu Haizhong for being incompetent. The first uncle was stupid and dim, and the third uncle was too thoughtful. No one in the entire compound was rectifying Yang Xiaotao, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Lou Xiao'e rubbed her belly on the side, something happened to her again today!

After Yang Xiaotao took care of the matter of making money, he devoted himself to the vegetable garden.

I don't usually see him being that caring, but this time it's like he's a different person.

After being at home for a while, I went to the yard for a walk.

The weather has gotten warmer and there are a lot more weeds, so Yang Xiaotao started weeding.

There is also the matter of loosening the soil and watering, which simply overturned Uncle Chen's cognition.

"Xiao Tao, what you did is, you don't know what you're doing, you'd think you were planting some kind of treasure!"

Looking at Yang Xiaotao pulling weeds in the yard, Uncle Chen joked while touching Wangcai.

Now, Uncle Chen's feelings for Wangcai are increasing day by day.

If Aunt Chen hadn't firmly opposed it, he would have gone to the alley to pick up a wild dog and go home.

"Uncle Chen, you are really right."

"These are all treasures!"

Yang Xiaotao stood up, threw aside the weeds in his hands, and looked at the corn seedlings that had grown to the height of the waves, with hope in his eyes.

"You, tell me how good it would be to grow some vegetables, which you can eat and exchange for food."

"Grow corn all over the field, and you want to eat the corn!"

Uncle Chen still doesn't approve of growing corn. This is also a topic that continues in the courtyard. As long as young and old women are together, they will talk about growing corn.

Especially Jia Zhang, who described Yang Xiaotao as a fool and a fool.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much after hearing this, he just smiled.

Those who call people stupid will know how shallow they are in the future.

Just like what the teacher told them when they were in school in their previous life.

Don't question the papers you are doing now, the questions you are doing, and the texts you are memorizing.

It will eventually send you further away. Your mission is to see the world and become a better version of yourself.

These are all ways to open up the world,

People often become biased and narrow-minded because of their own ignorance.

You must always remember that the process of cultivating yourself is a process that allows you to move towards a better world.

Yang Xiaotao is already on the road of cultivation, and these people will only become the scenery behind him.

Uncle Chen didn't say much and took Wangcai out of the yard.

Anyway, as long as you are not hungry, planting some corn can help you cope with hunger.

After Uncle Chen left, Yang Xiaotao continued to work hard.

The reason why I took matters into my own hands was because there were some things that Xiaowei couldn't handle.

At least not yet.

What Yang Xiaotao has to do now is the same process as in his previous life, which is to pull out the crooked seedlings and then find good seedlings from other places to replace them.

Commonly known as, patching up seedlings.

Of course, when planting, in order to ensure the germination rate, several seeds will be placed in a pit. If they grow well and all sprout, then there will be several seedlings gathered together. What Yang Xiaotao has to do is to keep the best ones. That one.

If we go by the experience of farmers, we must look for the biggest one, but with Yang Xiaotao and Xiao Wei, we only need to find the one with the most energy contained in the body.

Therefore, Yang Xiaotao's job is very simple. Xiaowei finds the target, and Yang Xiaotao picks it out and gets it done.

It sounds simple, but Xiaowei's job is not simple.

Because most of these corns contain similar amounts of energy, it’s difficult to judge whether it’s more or less.

Xiaowei has no concept of numbers. She can figure out which of the two seedlings has more energy, but if she asks how much more, she is confused.

To this end, Yang Xiaotao worked in the fields for two days before finding a relatively high standard.

Anything higher than this standard should be kept; anything lower than this should be moved outside.

By the end of March, the adjustments to corn seedlings were finally completed.

The innermost ridge is the best-growing corn with tall stalks and long cobs and large grains, and the next ridge is the corn with short stalks and short cobs and small grains.

As for the outside ones, they are all high-poled. Although they are not as good as the innermost ridge, they are still good seedlings that have been selected.

"Okay. Now it's time to bloom and pollinate!"

Yang Xiaotao patted the dirt on his hands and said to Xiaowei.

"You have to be prepared these days. You will be very busy then."

Yang Xiaotao does not expect success once and is also prepared for a protracted battle.

According to his plan, with Xiaowei's help, ten or eight experiments can be done from March to July, more than four months before and after.

It seems like a lot, but actually there is a lot of work to be done.

First of all, Yang Xiaotao's clear goal is to find corn with long cobs and large grains that are resistant to lodging.

Therefore, he needs to select suitable seeds as parents, that is, find ones that are resistant to lodging and have long sticks and large grains.

This requires planting once and selecting after they grow.

Then the grown parents are replanted, and then hybrid experiments are started, and the experiments are even repeated many times.

Until the best hybrid is found, the parents are then planted in large quantities to create hybrids and become seed crops.

Moreover, in order to continue to produce hybrid grains and improve hybrids in the future, the current parents must be retained.

It’s a bit hard to say, but it’s actually a process of constant selection and refinement.

Without Xiaowei's help, Yang Xiaotao would be able to work on such a small space in the yard for five or ten years, let alone one or two years.

After all, it involves emasculation, artificial pollination, hybridization, and identification, which is a big project.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao is not fighting alone, he has a magical wood elf.

"Boohoo!"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's words. Xiaowei jumped up and down in mid-air, showing her extraordinary ability.

Being able to help her master is what makes her happiest.
