Chapter 141: Ambition Soars High

lowers was carried into the Hundred Flower Garden, many people were overjoyed because some of them were famous varieties.Hearing that Bai Huayuan belonged to the Li family and would be used exclusivel..."Come on, let's tidy up and head up the mountain quickly." The village head called out to everyone, waving his pipe in his hand.

The old man had previously endured two barbarians, his left forearm was chopped off. After a few days of rest, although he wasn't in any danger, he was still weak, but he couldn't stop himself from running around for the village.

Everyone quickly responded and turned around to leave.

In Li's humble hut, Doctor Zhang was changing the dressing for Old Mrs. Li.

The old woman had a penetrating wound on her shoulder. It was not easy to recover, but the old man's hemostatic medicine was very effective. Jia Yin also fed the old woman anti-inflammatory pills and freeze-dried powder every day.

So, the old woman looked at the recovery and it was much better than expected.

Jia Yin walked over and squatted beside her grandmother, her gentle and worried demeanor softened Li Lao Tai's heart. She whispered comfortingly.

"Don't be afraid, Fu Niu. Grandma is already better."

Jia Yin hugged her grandma's neck and kissed her grandma on the face.

The old woman laughed even more, “My little Fu Niu is much better, she knows to act cute with grandma. Now, tell me, do you want to eat something delicious, or have you gotten into trouble again”

Jia Yin giggled, her mouth stretched wide, revealing a few pearly white teeth. "Grandma, I want to go up the mountain with Daddy!"

"Grandma Li frowned, "Your wound isn't healed yet. It's windy on the mountain, don't go up there. Grandma will have your mother steam egg custard for you later, okay With minced meat, the kind your second uncle bought yesterday!"

Jia Yin insisted, pouting and shaking her grandma's arm.

Zhang Shenyi rarely stood up for the little girl, smiling and saying, "Let her go, children are afraid of being timid, a little mischievous is better than weak. The wound on her head is almost healed, only a bump left, it will be completely fine as it subsides."

As expected, Old Mrs. Li stopped objecting after hearing this. She told Tao Hongying to wrap her granddaughter up more tightly, as the mountain wind was still rather chilly.

Jia Yin really liked Dr. Zhang, this old man. She rushed forward and drooled all over his face, making the old man laugh while pretending to be disgusted.

Soon, everyone was ready. Li Lao Si carried a basket on his back, with his daughter lying behind him, covering herself in cotton wool and only showing her eyes.

Liu Biatou carried the village chief, while Li Laoer and several villagers followed behind, heading up the mountain together.

SUI JIN TAn is covered in pebbles. Logically, the mountains on both sides should also be rocky.

But what is remarkable is that both sides of the hillocks have very deep layers of soil.

Perhaps it is the sparse dwarf pines on the mountain that have persisted for many years, shedding their needles. The pine needles, mixed with dead grass, have been diligently decomposing and accumulating year after year, which has resulted in this outcome.

In terms of height, slope, and even size, the two hills are very similar.

And they are all short and steep on the shady side, while the sunny side is long and gradual.

Four hundred mu of land were allocated to the village. Two hills took up three hundred mu, and the middle gravel bar occupied thirty mu. The remaining seventy mu were outside the valley, considered plains, but close to the riverbank, they could only be cultivated into inferior fields.

Everyone stood on the mountain, taking in the entire valley below, which resembled a colander. Their feelings were complex.

Speaking of the benefits, this valley faces the sunrise completely. The surrounding hills are very gentle and the soil quality is good.

The village is built in a valley, which offers protection from the wind and provides warmth and safety. Not far outside the valley lies a small stream, and beyond that is the official road. Both water and transportation are convenient here.

But the drawbacks are also obvious. If the two mounds want to be cultivated, they have to dig out all the dwarf pines and reclaim the land, which requires a lot of effort.

The gravelly expanse in the valley would make for a difficult place to build a village. Even if you were to establish one, it would be crucial to leave open channels for mountain runoff, and even laying the foundation would be exceptionally challenging.

The seventy mu of land outside the village is riverbank land, sandy soil. Even if it is cultivated, it can only grow sweet potatoes, and grains are not suitable at all.

All in all, to survive, everyone must work hard to clear the mountains! We have to plant our crops before farming season begins.

Jia Yin stretched her neck and carefully looked around their new home. She was quite satisfied with it, even more so than the villagers. She had some ideas of her own as well.

Farming on the slopes, while ensuring the village doesn't starve, must also consider long-term gains.

It's best to set aside a hilltop for fruit trees. Good drainage, ample sunlight, and ventilation will definitely result in fruits with high sugar content.

Her space did have an apple tree, but there were no apple seedlings. She could only try to figure out a way later on.

As for the seedlings of fruit trees in this time and space, she didn't even consider them. Because without improvement, the fruits they bear were small and sour.

Even the riverbanks outside the fields could be used to plant sweet potatoes. It would be a waste not to.

If we could grow watermelon, it would definitely be big and sweet.

In the small vegetable garden of the courtyard, there were a few watermelon vines that seemed to have sprouted from the watermelon seeds she occasionally threw down after eating watermelon.

Now wanting to plant dozens of acres of watermelon seedlings is simply unrealistic...

Jia Yin thought more and more about it, she couldn't help but touch the back of her head. The lump had shrunk to the size of a date, but she still couldn't enter the space.

Hearing his daughter sigh, Lao Si Li untied his burden and held her in his arms.

“Little福, don't look at how there's nothing here. But father has the strength! This year, we will open up all the barren hills and riverbank land. By autumn, I'll make sure the whole mountainside is covered in grain and sorghum. And for two years, there won't be any tax on grain here. Even if the harvest isn't plentiful, it will be enough for us to eat. Father won't let you go hungry!”

"Yes, the fourth one speaks well!" The village head supported Liu Biaotou's arm and also looked at the entire mountain valley, equally ambitious.

"There's nowhere in this world where everything goes smoothly. We've managed to find a safe place and escape the barbarians' pursuit, which is already the best outcome. As long as we are willing to endure hardships and work hard, life will definitely be better!"

The rest of the villagers also nodded in agreement, "We are all farmers, we fear nothing more than hard work. Village Chief Uncle, you just arrange it!"

"Let's go down the mountain and have a good discussion with everyone. We need to seize the time and get things done, as time waits for no one."

The village head, with a generous sweep of his hand, resumed his place on Liu Biāotou's back, and the group descended the mountain.

Every household woman was busy starting fires and cooking, with smoke billowing from the valleys, urging everyone to quicken their pace.

For nothing else, for the sake of the elderly and children, we must summon the courage and fight to rebuild a new home!

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were busy cooking, while Lao Li was難得 sitting on the side, soaking up the sun and chatting idly.

When Li Laotai saw her son bring her granddaughter back, the little girl was still a bit listless, and Li Laotai felt pity.

"Quickly take Funiu to the shed and let her have a nap. She must be tired from going up the mountain."

Tao Hongying smiled, "She's just a little girl, always on her father's back. How could she be tired"

Although she said so, she still hugged her daughter and carefully carried her into the nest. She gently patted her to sleep and then covered her with fine gauze to keep out mosquitoes before going out to continue her work.

The Li family gathered outside, talking about clearing land. No one went into the shed.

Of course, no one noticed that Jiayin had fallen asleep and simply vanished...

In the small courtyard, Jiayin rolled over, pulling the covers tighter. The softness of the fabric made her realize something was amiss.

She suddenly sat up, covered in a large double goose down comforter with a fresh green milk velvet cover. It felt warm and soft to the touch. Beneath her was a soft mattress, and at the bedside hung a princess-style canopy bed curtain made of snow-white lace...

Everything feels so real, completely devoid of the previous intangible barrier.

She's... going into space! few years of books. There's no guarantee I'll lose!""If you trust me, let me prove it."He didn't call himself a villain. When he said "I", his eyes held a light like starlight in the darkest night, m...
