Chapter Eight Osmanthus Village
Li Xin looked around the vegetable garden and then entered the thatched hut. The area of the thatched hut was quite large. According to the area in his previous life, it should be about forty or fifty square meters! The walls were built with earth foundations, and there were no tiles on the top of the house.
The floor is made of thatch and is very simple. It is said to be used to store sundries. In fact, the Li family has no sundries to put there, so it is always empty. However, the place is simple and is not cleaned much on weekdays.
It was covered with some cobwebs and dust.
However, two windows were opened, making the house look brighter. After entering the hut, Li Xin carefully closed the door, and then took out the large bag of seeds of various vegetables from the bracelet. She
I poured the seeds on the ground and looked at which seeds were suitable for planting. There are really various types of seeds, and the types of vegetables that can be seen in the vegetable market are also available here.
There are also some that are very detailed, and each type is subdivided into several types!
In addition to vegetables for food, there are also vegetables that can be used for viewing. It can be said that they are both edible and have high ornamental value. For example, various cherry tomatoes and colorful cherry peppers are not only edible, but can also be used as potted plants.
It's really beautiful to watch.
The entire vegetable garden is very large, probably more than an acre, and can actually grow a lot of things. After looking around, she took out a small bag of pumpkin seeds. Pumpkins have high yields and don't take up much space.
Let it climb around the fence. Then she also took out some pepper and tomato seeds. In the memory of this body, it seems that it has never seen tomatoes and peppers. People of this era seem to put them when they eat spicy food.
The dogwood worn during the Double Ninth Festival. She guessed that there was probably no chili pepper in this era.
Then plant some! If it really didn’t exist in this era, maybe she could still make a small fortune from it. But it already exists in this era and she can’t make much money, so she can keep it for her own family. Take the pepper tomato seeds.
At that time, she also brought colorful cherry peppers and cherry tomatoes in three colors: milky white, black purple, and emerald. She didn’t have many flowers at home, so she planted some for viewing! Maybe they could also be sold as potted plants.
Woolen cloth!
In addition, she also wanted to plant some sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. These are high-yielding things that can also fill the stomach and are very suitable for the current family. She originally planned to plant rice, but she didn't know what the bag of rice was.
Was it a seed? If it was rice grown by someone else using hybrid rice, it would be white. But she thought about it and took out some to try. She put all the selected seeds in the hut, and the other
Those were put back into the bracelet.
Now that the seeds are there, all she has to do is to get the eight acres of land back. If she wants to get the fields back, she still has to rely on the village chief. Although the village chief is not an official, he is still very influential in the village.
Prestige.
This village is called "Osmanthus Village". The name comes from the fact that there is an ancient osmanthus tree in the village, which is known to people from hundreds of miles around. It is impossible to find out the year, month and day when the osmanthus tree was planted, but according to the old people in the village
It is said that when they were children, the osmanthus tree looked like this. The old osmanthus tree has a huge crown covering, is evergreen all year round, and has luxuriant branches and leaves, reaching a height of more than ten feet. It blooms around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and the golden flowers are like stars.
During the blooming season, the fragrance is overflowing. You can smell the fragrance from miles away, and there is an endless stream of people coming to pick osmanthus flowers.
The village chief of Guihua Village is named Li Changming, who is a cousin of Li Xin’s father. Li Xin’s siblings call him uncle. The two oldest surnames in Guihua Village are Li and Zhang, and people with these two surnames can be regarded as descendants from generation to generation.
People who have lived here for generations have been multiplying and living here, and now it has become a village of some size. Of course, in addition to these two surnames, there are also some miscellaneous surnames in the village, those belonging to migrant households who have moved here in recent generations.
The influence of the Li family and the Zhang family is deeply rooted in the village, so the village chiefs of Guihua Village have always been from these two surnames.
Early the next morning, Li Xin took Li Wenbo to the village chief's house. The old osmanthus tree in the village was in the middle of the village, and there were some stone pillars under the tree. On weekdays, the villagers would gather there when nothing happened.
Let's chat here. The crown of the old osmanthus tree is really big. Standing under the tree, you feel like it is blocking out the sky and the sun. Next to the old osmanthus tree is an avenue. On both sides of the avenue are the neat houses of the villagers, one by one.
They are all next to each other, and then expanded layer by layer.
The village is not small, with fifty or sixty households, so at first glance, there are stacks of houses on both sides of the avenue. A large river flows through the village, and the neat fields on both sides of the river belong to the villagers of Guihua Village.
.
Li Xin and his brother walked along and soon had a panoramic view of the entire Guihua Village. The village chief lived in an old house left by his father's generation. After several brothers got married, they also separated and moved away. The village chief
The family tidied up the old house and it looked very spacious. The house is a courtyard house, and Li Xin has always liked courtyard-style houses. As soon as the door is closed, there is a separate small world inside, which is very private.
There is a feeling of living behind closed doors.
Houses like this are rare in the south, but they are common in the north. When a family builds a courtyard house, the upper room is naturally occupied by the parents, and then there are also east and west wing rooms for the sons to live in. If
If you have more sons, you can expand the house across the courtyard. The family lives in a big house with a wide courtyard where the children can play. It feels warm and lively. However, there are also disadvantages. There are many people living under one roof.
People still share the same yard, which is a bit contradictory no matter how you say it.
The courtyard of the village chief's house has three upper rooms on the front, three rooms on the opposite side, and three wing rooms on one side. On the other side is a utility room and a kitchen. The vacant seat
It is a gate. In this rural place, as long as there is someone at home, the gate is not closed, and people who come in do not need to knock on the door, they can just go in.
Entering the courtyard of the village chief's house, Li Xin found that the courtyard was quite large, and there were several sweet-scented osmanthus trees and dieffenbachia planted in the courtyard. The courtyard was also cleaned cleanly, and everything was neatly arranged, so you could see it.
Come out, the village chief's family is also very good at living. Early in the morning, the village chief Li Changming was sitting in the yard, weaving a basket with bamboo strips.
At this time of year, almost every household is planting wheat in their fields, and there is nothing busy except for the occasional weeding.
"Wen Hao and Sister Xin are here! Is Sister Xin feeling better?" When Li Changming saw the two siblings entering the room, he greeted them and stood up to lift two stools for them to sit down.
Li Xin knew that the village chief was asking about her head that was hit by Ergouzi with a stone. She had gotten better in the past two days, so she responded with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. It's much better now." (Everyone.)
