Chapter 6 The bullock cart rushes slowly and finally reaches the destination
“It’s Jiayi! Why are you here at this time?”
“It’s a holiday, so I came over to have fun.” Li Jia Yi scratched his head.
"Are you here alone?" Grandpa Six asked.
“Hmm!”
"Aimin is really relieved to let you come here alone."
"I came by car. Besides, aren't you here?"
Old people like to hear good things. As expected, , as soon as he finished speaking, Grandpa Six said with a smile: "Hahaha, that's right, with Grandpa Six here, you really don't have to worry."
"Come, sit down and have a rest first, I'll probably need more time when you go back Wait a moment." Grandpa Six patted the ground next to him and said.
“Hmm!”
In the countryside, there is not so much care at all. He just followed the Romans and sat on the ground.
"Grandpa Six, are you in good health?"
"Very good, you can eat and sleep."
This is true, people in rural areas do it Living, physical fitness is quite good.
The main thing is to have food to eat. There is no shortage of food in rural areas now. Farms are distributed to each household. Although Grandpa Six gave the land to others, he is rich!
In addition, others give him food every year, so there is absolutely no problem in having enough to eat, but that's just this year.
"That's good."
The cows were grazing at this time, as were the other cows. The other few bullock carts should be from other villages.
This place is relatively remote and there are not many villages, but the population in the villages is quite large.
Similarly, there is no village for several kilometers. How could one village have a smaller population?
At around two o'clock, people in the village came back one after another, and Li Jiayi basically knew them all.
Grandparents, uncles and aunts, aunts and sisters-in-law shouted.
Soon Li Jiayi mingled with everyone, and after everyone came back, he started to rush back.
There were quite a lot of people today. Including him, there were thirteen people in total. Grandpa Six had another income.
Although the village basically belongs to the same ancestor, you still have to give money when it is due, because Grandpa Six relies on this to make a living.
Although the ox cart is faster than walking, it is not much faster. It is more than ten kilometers and it is already two hours later when we return to the village.
"Grandpa Six, here's some money for you." Back in the village, Li Jiayi took out five cents and handed it over.
“Just give me two cents for the half way trip!”
It’s five cents for one trip, and Li Jia only sat back, so Grandpa Six gave me a discount. .
“No, I won’t give you money next time I go back.”
Hearing what he said, Grandpa Six thought for a while and said, "That's okay, then you can remember it."
Grandpa Li Jiayi's family lives at the very back of the village, at the foot of the real mountain. Other people’s homes are much taller.
There are three rooms and a small courtyard. There is a small kitchen on the west side of the courtyard. It can be said that it looks particularly warm.
"Grandma! I'm here." Li Jiayi shouted loudly before he reached the door.
You know this is at the foot of the mountain! Sound can travel far and have echoes.
The door to the small courtyard soon opened, and a little old lady about 1.5 meters tall came out of the courtyard.
In this era, the average height of women is 1.51 meters and the average height of men is 1.65 meters.
The old lady is about 1.5 meters tall, which is considered average.
"Oh, my eldest grandson is here, let grandma take a look." The old lady pulled him over and held him in her arms.
Li Jiayi always thought that the old lady didn't know that he was not her biological child. In fact, it was not true at all. The old lady always knew.
But no matter the old lady or the old man, no one does not regard him as their own grandson, which can be seen from the fact that they love Li Jiayi. "Have you eaten?" the old lady asked quickly.
Li Jiayi rubbed his stomach and said, "My stomach felt uncomfortable while riding in the car, so I didn't eat."
"Oh! My eldest grandson hasn't eaten yet. It's time to eat!" After saying that, he shouted to the yard: "Old man, go and cook the pot. My grandson hasn't eaten yet." "I know," Grandpa Li Laogen agreed.
"Grandpa, no need." Li Jiayi shouted to the courtyard, and quickly said to grandma: "Grandma, are there any sweet potatoes at home? I will bake a sweet potato and eat it."
"How can sweet potatoes work? , just wait, grandma will prepare something delicious for you." After that, she pulled him towards the courtyard.
"Grandma, I really don't want to eat anything else, I just want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."
Actually, he didn't want to eat it, but wanted to get some sweet potatoes to make seeds.
As for why Li Jiayi didn’t want to get chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs first, because these things can maximize profits.
But don’t forget, to raise these things, you need to have food. If you don’t have food, they will all starve to death!
"I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes! Okay, you go to the cellar to get them, take them out and grandma will bake them for you, and there are some left to prepare seedlings."
"Yeah!" Li Jia As soon as he agreed, he quickly ran to the cellar.
"Grandpa." He shouted first when entering the hospital.
Li Laogen was sitting there smoking a dry cigarette. When he heard him shouting, he agreed with a smile and said, "You are really brave, coming here alone."
"Isn't there Grandpa Six when we get off the car?" Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.
"Okay, my eldest grandson wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes. Let him get the sweet potatoes first and then talk about it after he gets them."
"Go get the sweet potatoes!" said the old lady.
“Oh!”
Li Jia opened the cellar and went down the ladder.
There are not many sweet potatoes in the cellar, just as many as can be kept for seedlings.
First put two into the space, then take one and go up.
The reason why we only included two spaces is because we don’t need that many at all.
The time in space is thirty times that outside. Soon two sweet potatoes will grow many sweet potato seedlings.
The sweet potato seedlings can also be cut into sections and replanted. It is estimated that within a few days, six acres of land can be planted with sweet potatoes.
Yes, he doesn't plan to plant anything else for the time being, and plans to plant all sweet potatoes because they have a high yield.
Also, whether it is sweet potatoes or sweet potato seedlings, they can be used as feed. When enough feed is obtained, other things can be planted.
Of course, what has been planted still needs to be planted, at least get some seeds.
Also, this is just land for growing food, there are also vegetable plots! Vegetables can still be grown.
The reason why Li Jiayi came to his grandparents’ house was to get some vegetable seeds, and there was no shortage of these at his grandma’s house.
"Grandma, the sweet potatoes are out." Li Jia handed a handful of sweet potatoes to grandma and said.
"Why just take one! Is this enough for you?" Grandma asked.
"That's enough, I'm just making up for it. It's time to have dinner soon."
"That's right, then you can go have a rest and grandma will bake it for you."< br>
“Hmm!”
At this time, Grandpa pointed to a small bench and said, "Come and sit."
"Okay, Grandpa."
After sitting down, Li Jia took off his schoolbag and started to take things out.
