The Little Landlord of Transmigration

Chapter 10, The Vegetable Garden

The next day when he went to look for Aqi at Aqi's house as usual, Aqi's house was having dinner. After a period of time, he learned that everyone here got up very early, except for very young children, basically it was just dawn. just got up.Men always have a lot of work to do, and women have to feed livestock, make breakfast, and take care of children. It takes about an hour to eat breakfast, so although Xu Lingyuan doesn't get up early, Xu Lingyuan, who eats when he wakes up, is still a little earlier than them .

"I still have to go to the vegetable garden today." A Qi said to him while eating.

"Oh, are you going to grow vegetables?" Xu Lingyuan thought about the vegetable garden at home in modern times, and he should be growing vegetables now.

"Ah."

"Do you grow a lot of vegetables?" Xu Lingyuan thought that they were basically self-sufficient, so they should have grown a lot. No wonder they didn't finish planting yesterday.

"Yesterday, we only repaired the fence and cleared the land, and today we only planted vegetables." A Qi explained.

"Then can I go and have a look?" Xu Lingyuan asked him, a little curious about the vegetable garden here, wondering if the vegetables grown here are the same as the modern ones.

"Yeah." After agreeing, Ah Qi looked at his father, saw that his father had no objection, and continued to eat.

The vegetable garden of Aqi's family is near the river outside the village. It is estimated that it is easy to get water for irrigation here. The land connected to his vegetable garden is also all vegetable gardens, separated from each other by a soil wall about one meter high. It's not the fence that is commonly used in modern times, maybe because they all eat the vegetables they grow themselves, the vegetable garden is indeed not small.Not long after Xu Lingyuan and the others arrived, they saw the patriarch walking over with two children, one of whom was Agui, and he had also seen the other, Agui's younger brother.

"Master Xu is here, I thought you were scared away by these savages." The patriarch saw Xu Lingyuan and greeted him kindly.The vegetable garden of the patriarch's family is actually connected with that of A Qi's family.

"You're joking, A Qi and I have a look at what's grown in the vegetable garden here, and I want to grow some myself when we get back." Xu Lingyuan also politely replied.In Xu Lingyuan's view, this patriarch is very warm and friendly, not as serious as he originally imagined. You must know that in this world, the lowest level of the administrative organization is the county, and there are many towns below the county, and the village is below the town. The places below the county level are managed by local prestigious gentry, gentry and patriarchs, so they have certain powers.

"That's right. I still remember the size of the vegetable garden that day. At noon, I went to the village to ask who had extra vegetable seedlings, and I asked Agui to send them to you in the afternoon." The patriarch heard that he also wanted to grow vegetables, so he thought about it and said.

"Is this too troublesome?" Xu Lingyuan was a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Anyway, if you don't run out of them, they will be discarded. Besides, it's the season, and it's too late to raise seedlings. We grow them in our own land, and there's nowhere to buy them. Neighbors should accommodate them. .” He and Xu Lingyuan explained.

"Then thank you first, then I'll get it myself this afternoon." Xu Lingyuan accepted.

"It's okay, I'll let Agui deliver it. You have someone prepare the things you need at home. I see that you have a complete set of farm tools. These seedlings have been pulled out. It's better to plant them today." He said I want to say it.

"Then I'll go back and prepare in a while." Xu Lingyuan agreed, and they went about their own business after speaking.

There are many vegetable seedlings that have been cultivated in advance in the vegetable garden, and now they need to be planted separately.The vegetables that can be eaten in the vegetable garden now include lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions, and garlic. Because these vegetables are getting old, they will be pulled out if they cannot be eaten.So when Xu Lingyuan came home, he also carried two leaves of lettuce and a large bundle of spinach in his hand.

As soon as he walked out of the vegetable garden, he walked back as if thinking of something again, walked up to A Qi and asked him in a low voice: "A Qi, can you come to my house this afternoon?"

A Qi seemed a little uncertain, and didn't seem to understand why he was asked to go, but he didn't speak.

"If you finish in the morning, you can also go to my house in the afternoon." Xu Lingyuan could only tell him that, after all, the work at home was more important.Then he said to Agui: "Agui, when you go in the afternoon, take other people to my house to play." After getting his response, he went home.

When Xu Lingyuan went back, he told Agui and the others that they would come to deliver the vegetable seedlings in the afternoon, and Amu and Hongying happily went looking for farm tools.

After lunch, Xu Lingyuan and the others began to wait for Agui and the others, but to their surprise, they had been waiting for most of the afternoon, and no one came.Maybe the people in the village don't have any rich vegetable seedlings, but Agui promised to come to the house with other people to play in the afternoon, why is there no sign?Have you forgotten all about it?He waited and thought.

Just when Xu Lingyuan thought they would not come, he suddenly heard someone knock on the door.But A Qi was the only one, he was holding a wicker basket full of vegetable seedlings in one hand, and a handful of carrots in the other, his hand holding the leaves was strangled red.After he put down the things in his hands, he embarrassedly said that they were not coming.

It turned out that they were going to come this afternoon, and the patriarch also asked Agui to go to the vegetable garden to pull some vegetables and bring them over, but when they were pulling vegetables, they saw someone carrying an osprey boat to catch fish, which was very strange to them, because They basically fished with nets or fishing, and rarely saw this kind of osprey boat from other places, so they all went to see the boatman instructing the osprey to fish.After watching for a long time, no one was willing to send vegetable seedlings. Seeing that the vegetable seedlings that had left the soil would wilt if they were not planted today, A Qi could only bring them over by himself, and brought the carrots that had been pulled out by the way.

After Xu Lingyuan listened to it, he was also very curious about osprey fishing. In modern times, he had seen it on TV, but he didn’t expect it to happen here too. The vegetable seedlings he brought were planted, and he couldn't let Eminem and his daughter do it all.A Qi also said to stay and help.Xu Lingyuan stopped being polite to him, and after the gate was inserted, they took the vegetable seedlings and farm tools to the vegetable field in the backyard.

"You will too?" Seeing that Xu Lingyuan, who didn't want to be idle, planted vegetable seedlings, and they were doing well, A Qi asked curiously, as if he didn't understand how he, a young master, would do this.

"It's easy." Xu Lingyuan couldn't tell him that in modern times, since he went to university and left home, he stopped working in the vegetable garden.

"Then I'll water it." Seeing that Xu Lingyuan, Ah Mu, and Hongying were doing well, A Qi took the initiative to fetch water from the front yard to water the freshly planted vegetables.

In this way, the four of them were so busy that it was almost dark before they sorted and planted all the vegetable seedlings and watered them.

"Thanks to Aqi's help today, otherwise I don't know how long I will be busy. Changsheng, a slicker, won't come back today, and if he has something to do, he can't find anyone. It's outrageous! Young master, you are too talkative... "Amu was preparing to cook, but was interrupted by Hongying: "Okay, it's not good for the young master to not talk before, but now it's not easy to talk, it's really not easy, let's hurry up and cook .”

"Damn girl, you are becoming more and more shameless." After Ah Mu finished speaking, he turned to Xu Lingyuan and said, "Young master, you and A Qi go to rest first, I will cook, and let A Qi finish eating before leaving." .”

"No, I'd better go back." A Qi who was planning to go back hastily refused.

"How can I do that? After working so hard for a long time, I still need to have a meal. I'll make it faster so that you won't be delayed home." After talking, Ah Mu motioned Xu Lingyuan to take him to the main room and A Qi, who followed Xu Lingyuan into the room, sat on the table. At the table, while eating the snacks that had been prepared earlier, waiting for the meal.

"It seems that Agui is right to say that you are easy to bully, and you have to help with the work if you send it yourself." Xu Lingyuan said jokingly.

"I wanted to come by myself, anyway, I can see it in the future." A Qi explained.

"Then why did you help me before? They ignored you." Xu Lingyuan also didn't understand why Ah Qi insisted on playing with him?Is it because he is honest and easy to talk?

"They said that playing with you would make you lose, I know that's not the case." A Qi thought for a while and said.

"How do you know?" After all, they just met each other.

"I don't know." A Qi said with some embarrassment, and then he thought for a while and then said: "When I fried wheat seedlings that day, you didn't let me eat it, and you didn't complain to the adults, you are different from those people they said. "

"Oh." Is that all right?Xu Lingyuan felt that he was really easy to talk to, "But I also like playing with you." Xu Lingyuan said again.

"En." A Qi just responded without saying a word.In fact, he himself doesn't understand why, he thinks Xu Lingyuan is a good person, so he doesn't want to reject him with them, and he likes the feeling of being needed and trusted, which is very different from the children in the village.

When Ah Qi came home, he put some snacks in the basket of the vegetable seedlings. He planned to give them all to eat, but only Ah Qi came. He didn’t eat much, and he didn’t want to bring it. It seemed cheap, and finally, at Eminem's insistence, he only took some and ran away quickly.
