The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together
Chapter 108: Catching Wild Bees and Planting Medicinal Herbs
The retired veteran was named Guo Youde, also known as Dadezi. He took his parents, his wife Liu, his two sons Guo Long and Guo Hu, and his daughter Zhenzhu. It took them more than ten days to reach the destination. In other words, after receiving the letter, the family packed up and set off.
Dadezi's family had a large population but little arable land. His father, the third child, didn't get much land. Over the years, the family relied on Dadezi's military service, which sent him some money, and Guo's father, who raised bees year-round, to support the family.
So, when Dadezi saw Xu Wu's letter, he didn't even hesitate and resolutely came with his parents, wife and children!
His gamble proved to be a success. When they finally reached the Qingshangou mentioned in Xu Wu's letter at sunset, they saw the entire village bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Even the roofs and walls were dyed an orange-red. The ripples of the river in the distance also turned amber in the afterglow. Smoke rose from each house, and occasionally the sounds of children playing and laughing could be heard.
Da Dezi was stunned. What a wonderful place! He had never been to school, so he didn't know how to describe it all. He just felt that it was like a painting, so beautiful. Even many years later, the image remained etched in his mind.
The villagers were also very simple and honest. When they heard that they were going to Xu Wu's house, they enthusiastically led them there, saying, "Master Xu, he lives in Dajiang's house. You must be looking for Dajiang. Come on, I'll take you there!"
Erwang's mother enthusiastically led Dadezi and his family to the door of Zhou Dajiang's house and shouted loudly: "Xiuying, come out quickly, someone is coming from your house!"
Chen Xiuying heard Erwang's mother calling her and hurried out to greet her. Xu Wu and Zhou Sisi had just returned home from get out of class and also popped their heads out of their rooms when they heard the voices. Xu Wu saw Da Dezi and hurried forward to greet him, "Brother Da De!"
The two hugged each other and patted each other.
Chen Xiuying thanked Erwang's mother and invited her into the house. "You must be tired after walking for such a long time! Come on! Let's sit inside!" Seeing this, Qing'er also went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare tea.
Zhou Sisi couldn't help much, so she went to the greenhouse and called Zhou Dajiang back home.
In the evening, a warm hospitality is naturally inevitable.
They chatted for a long time, and when Zhou Dajiang learned that Dadezi's family had already sold all the land in their hometown and planned to settle here, he patted his chest and promised that their life here would definitely be better than in their hometown. Dadezi thanked him repeatedly, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
The next morning, Zhou Dajiang took Dadezi to Xiaomao Mountain. Dadezi then realized that Zhou Dajiang was not just talking, but had even prepared accommodation for them.
Moreover, there was rice, flour, oil, and even seasonings in the house. They just had to spread out their luggage and bedding and then they could go to sleep.
After all, it was a family resettlement, and Chen Xiuying was afraid that something might be missed, so she also went to Xiaomao Mountain. In addition to the things mentioned above, she asked Yu Fuan to drive the ox cart and loaded a load of firewood. She also sent a portion of pots, pans, and chopsticks for the seven people to them.
The pot was dumped out from the construction site before, and Dahe's house has been built, so the pot was returned.
The bowls, pans, and chopsticks were bought ready-made from Carpenter Tian's house. Since there were no porcelain bowls, they were asked to use wooden bowls for now.
For this alone, Dadezi's family is already extremely grateful.
Zhou Dajiang let them live here with peace of mind. In addition to paying them and his parents a monthly salary, he would also give them a 15% dividend from the income from chickens, pigs, and honey at the end of the year. Even Guo Long and Guo Hu got money, but it was a little less than what they got.
Guo Long and Guo Hu, fifteen and fourteen, were both teenagers. They were too old to go to school, so Zhou Dajiang arranged for Tietou Suotou to come over on the school's two days off and teach them reading and counting for an hour each day.
Pearl is young, only ten years old this year, but she was directly arranged to go to school with the other children.
These great people dared not even think about it when they came, but Zhou Dajiang had thought of it and arranged everything perfectly.
Moved by this, Dadezi's family immediately moved their chickens and pigs into the shed. Guo Laosan, Guo's father, even went out to hunt for wild beehives in the freezing weather. Having encountered such a kind host, he was determined to use all his skills to repay Zhou Dajiang and his wife for their kindness to their family.
In the following days, Dadezi and his father searched the mountains for wild beehives. Zhou Dajiang didn't understand how they did it, but he saw that the number of beehives gradually increased as the weather got warmer.
Dadezi's wife and mother began to tidy up the fields behind the house. They first cleared out a vegetable garden, and then enclosed the area where pigs and chickens were raised on the north mountain with fences.
Dadezi's wife also suggested to Zhou Dajiang that it would be better to put some thorny plants outside the fence so that the chickens and pigs would not run away when they grow up.
Zhou Dajiang thought, "That's right! We need to hurry up."
There was a ready-made gardener at home, so he went to Yu Quan and said that he wanted to plant thorny plants outside the fence and asked what kind of thorny plants he should buy.
Yu Quan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to buy this. There are some in the surrounding mountains. Leave it to me!"
So he took Yu Fuan, Dadezi and his son, and Xu Wu, who had some time during his break, and the five of them ran all over the mountains and toured all the surrounding mountains.
The villagers of Yangliu Village were having another blast. There was some activity on Xiaomao Mountain. First, a fence was erected on the northern edge of the mountain. Two days later, a row of plants appeared just outside the lower fence, just outside the fence. Someone curious enough went to take a closer look and nearly got hurt. They were planting currants. That's great! By the end of autumn, we'll have blackcurrants to eat.
Two days later, the kind-hearted villager went back to the mountain and discovered they were no longer growing ribes. Perhaps they had dug up all the ribes on the mountain, and now they were planting Caragana. That's great, too; the flowers of Caragana are edible! This is a great spot. Planting them outside the fence means they can pick them, right?
They thought that was the end of it, but two days later, they started to mess around again, planting junipers in the places where there were no plants on the upper fence.
This is Doctor Qian’s action. The ribes and caragana have been planted, so plant juniper in the remaining space!
It turns out that in his opinion, the fruits of Ribes and the flowers and roots of Caragana are all Chinese herbal medicines. Juniper is also a medicinal herb and it also has thorns. There are also some on the mountain, so let's plant them!
When Zhou Dajiang heard this, he thought, Chinese herbal medicine is good, it’s a blessing in disguise!
The people in Yangliu Village thought that the trouble was finally over, but they never expected that they hadn’t even started yet!
After finishing the work on the North Mountain, they started working on the South Mountain, and this time they even started planting fruit trees.
A few days ago, I saw them putting up a fence and thought they were raising some livestock, but these days they've started planting fruit trees. That stuff is sour and tastes terrible, and there's plenty of it on the mountain, and they're still planting it! Ugh! They're really out of their minds!
