Chapter 108 Which God has moved my food

Tan Dasha did not disappoint Liu Qingshan's sincerity.

In the next two days, he continued to help Liu Qingshan build roads. He worked harder than before.

Five days after the road construction, which was the last day agreed with Liu Yuanhe, the two worked together. First, they used a hatchet to open up a slanted mountain path to the bushes next to the waterfall in Taro Pond, and then used a hoe and a hoe to dig the mountain path to a spacious and flat.

Finally, the last bit of road was dug.

Both of them breathed a deep breath.

Holding the hoe, I stood up straight, and when I looked up, I saw bamboo swaying in the wind, flat mountain paths, and oily fir trees that refracted under the sun.

Tan Dasha was so tired that he sat directly in the middle of the most beautiful forest mountain road in Liu Qingshan’s memory, leaning against a huge fir tree on his back, and gasping for breath, saying, “Qingshan, I need to take a rest. I’m too tired to bear it.”

Liu Qingshan looked at Dasha Uncle who was sweating heavily and said with a smile: "Haha, Dasha Uncle, I told you, don't worry, just repair the road slowly, you have to work so hard."

"No, I have to go to the fields to work this evening. In the morning, my mother told me that I haven't seen the vegetables grown in the fields for a few days, and told me to go and see them after finishing my work."

"Do you grow your vegetables in the fields?"

"Yes, after harvesting the rice, my mother started to loosen the soil in the fields. Later, when the pineapple was ready, she planted some vegetables in the fields. My mother said that when the vegetables grow a little longer, they can be sold in the town."

"How much can I sell it in town?"

"Well, two or three dollars per pound. If a pound of vegetables can be sold for two dollars, a pound of vegetables will cost two hundred dollars. We have grown a lot, and it is estimated that it can be sold for several hundred dollars."

When he said this, Tan Dasha's face was filled with a smile. The few dollars a pound of vegetables were said from him, as if they were priceless treasures.

Rich people may not be smiling even if they complete a project worth millions. But for poor people, as long as they can earn a few hundred yuan, their sense of happiness will be overwhelming.

Money may be able to buy happiness, but real happiness has nothing to do with the amount of money, it has to do with desire.

The easier it is to satisfy a person, the happier he is, and this is irrefutable.

Liu Qingshan also sat down and said, "What does it matter if the vegetables are planted in the field or not? There are no wild boars in the outside village, what are you afraid of?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of wild boars." Tan Dasha stared at the noon sun and said, "My mother said that the sun was too poisonous during this period. If there was no water in the fields, it would take less than two days to die in the vegetables. During this period, my mother was just digging yam and didn't go to the fields to see it, so she told me that after finishing work today, she must go and see it, because she was afraid that the canal would be cut off."

"Did you use the canal to irrigate?"

"Yes, after harvesting the rice, the canals in the fields were gone. However, in order to grow vegetables, my mother went to dig the canal by herself. Last time it rained, the canal was covered with branches and leaves, and it was so blocked that it could not pass the water. My mother went to dig it all day before digging it."

Speaking of this, Tan Dasha didn't want to rest anymore, just wanted to go home and check out the dishes in the fields.

Seeing that he was anxious, Liu Qingshan stopped resting and followed Tan Dasha to go home. After lunch, Tan Dasha rushed back to the other village and headed straight to the rice fields where green vegetables were planted.

His rice fields are at the lowest point of the terraced fields outside the village road. You cannot see them from the village road. You must walk into the fields to see them.

But as soon as he arrived at the edge of the field, Tan Dasha was stunned.

All the vegetables in the fields were dead!

Under the scorching sun, the dead vegetables were yellow and rotten, all hanging in the soil, looking very miserable.

Tan Dasha felt heartbroken and immediately turned around and went home.

As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted to his mother who had just dug yam from the mountain and came to have lunch: "Mom, it's not good, it's not good."

"What's wrong?" Old Mrs. Tan just came back from the mountain and was sitting in the corridor in front of the main hall drinking oil tea.

Perhaps it was because that boy Liu Qingshan had dug too much yam before, and the villagers were dispatched together these days, so it is difficult to encounter yam in the mountains now.

Today, she wandered around the mountains for one morning and dug a very small yam, which was about two pounds.

Later, she couldn't find it, so she went home for lunch first, planning to take a break after lunch before going into the mountain to look for yam.

But as soon as she sat down, before she could drink a few sips of tea, her stupid son hurried back from outside, shouting that something was wrong.

What's wrong? Can he be so anxious?

Old Mrs. Tan looked at her panicked son and asked, "Why are you doing so fast? What's wrong with it? Have you been Liu Daliang and the others deceived you again?"

"No." Tan Dasha swallowed a mouthful of water in a hurry, moistening her dry throat before saying, "Mom, all the vegetables we planted in the fields are dead."

"What?" Old Mrs. Tan trembled all over, and the notched porcelain bowl containing hot tea in her hand clanged and fell to the ground. The golden oil tea almost splashed on Old Mrs. Tan's feet without shoes.

"The vegetables are all dead. I don't know why Fei Si is gone. The canal is gone, the fields are cracked, and the vegetables are all dead."

After Tan Dasha said this, Old Mrs. Tan almost fainted.

OK, why is there no water in the canal? She hasn't gone to the field to see the water in just four or five days. Moreover, it hasn't rained for many days, so the canal cannot be blocked by branches.

She stood up and shook her dizzy head and said, "Dasha, please help me to take a look."

Tan Dasha didn't say anything, rode a motorcycle, took her mother and rushed into the field.

When they arrived on the side of the road, the two got out of the car. Tan Dasha helped Old Lady Tan to walk down slowly. As she walked, Tan Dasha said, "Mom, please wait, don't worry."

"How about not being anxious?" Although Old Mrs. Tan was anxious, she still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that it was probably just that her son had misread it, and the vegetables in the fields might be fine. Or, those vegetables were just a little beaten, and as long as they were poured into the fields, those dishes might be saved.

She grabbed her son's arm tightly, shook her weak body, and walked down the long and steep field path.

As soon as she arrived at the edge of the field and had not yet walked into the field, Old Mrs. Tan looked at the dead vegetables on the ground and felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing.

After a while, she let out a shrill cry: "Which heaven killed me?"

She fell to the ground, pounding the soil in grief, and cried with tears on her face: "Ah, my food, which god killed me and cut off the water. Which thing that had a father but had no mother-raising that hurt my food."

This paddy field is about half an acre, and the vegetable hearts planted in the vegetable market are all high prices. Farmhouse vegetable hearts are very popular, especially some old ladies planted with vegetable hearts. They do not use medicine or chemical fertilizers, and they rely on farmhouse fertilizers to feed them. The taste is very sweet. Even if they are just boiled with salt water, they are extremely sweet.

Therefore, the vegetable hearts grown by the old lady in the countryside can be sold for three or four yuan per pound in early winter. Even when a large number of winter vegetables are on the market and various green vegetables and cabbages are rampant in the vegetable market, these vegetable hearts can be kept at about two yuan per pound.

Mrs. Tan took this spot. As soon as the rice was harvested this year, she bought these rapeseed from some rapeseed shops in the vegetable market in the town at a high price.

If it is a cabbage, you can use the rapeseed left by yourself in spring, but you can't keep rapeseed by yourself, so you can only buy it.

She originally thought that even if she spent money to buy rapeseed, it would be worth it. After all, when these vegetables grow up, they can still be sold for a lot of money.

She spent more than ten yuan to buy rapeseed, and spent many geniuses to hoe the ground and attract the water from the canal. It can be said that this land dish was really grown by squeezing a lot of spirit and blood from her old bones. It is not an exaggeration to say that she was raising this land dish with her life.

But even so, she did nothing wrong.
