Abandoned Husband to Farm the Farm

Chapter 40 The Wild Boar Is Here

Mu Xiaolu waited hopefully for Lao Zhao's prey, but he was disappointed. It was already the third day of April, and the farm was still empty.A blister formed on Mu Xiaolu's mouth.Qi Cheng advised him not to worry.Xiaofei also said that it is up to fate, and if it is not possible, he can buy a house and rent it out to live. Anyway, he will not worry about food.Mu Xiaolu was noncommittal.

On the morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, things turned around, and Lao Zhao came here pulling a well-tied wild boar on a flatbed cart.

Mu Xiaolu asked strangely: "Didn't you say you can't hit it? Why did you hit it again so quickly?" Seeing that this wild boar has grown up and is very strong, and it is strange that Mu Xiaolu approached it carefully, but the wild boar was not vicious. Howled, just stared at Mu Xiaolu, and even stretched out his mouth to smell his hand, Mu Xiaolu was startled, and hurriedly dodged.

Seeing Mu Xiaolu's questioning, Old Zhao's honest face turned red, he hesitated for a while before replying: "Ah, this, it's just a coincidence."

Mu Xiaolu was full of joy, and didn't ask any further questions, but just gave Lao Zhao the money and put the wild boar in the pen.Immediately, two sows were purchased from a nearby farm, and they were housed separately across the fence to let them get familiar with each other.

Lao Zhu, who sells meat, has no good news either, and he can't find any workmen.Because the local people regard wild boars as wild beasts, and there are people who die under the mouth of wild boars. How dare they approach them?

There was no other way, Mu Xiaolu had no choice but to work with Qi Cheng.But raising pigs is a physical labor, dirty and tiring, how can Mu Xiaolu's small body be able to do it.Just cleaning up pig manure every day can kill people.It seems that it is not feasible to raise pigs with the farm method.Now there are only three pigs. If there are too many pigs, it will be terrible, and my pig farm will become a smelly place. This is not the original intention of raising pigs. I still have to find a way to use new technology to do it.

During dinner in the evening, Mu Xiaolu and two other people discussed to build a new pig house first, and then went to the forest in the mountains to collect mycelium.

Both Qi Cheng and Xiao Fei were confused and asked what mycelium was.

If you explain it in scientific terms, these two people don't understand it, so Mu Xiaolu can only explain it vividly, that is, the mushrooms grow into what they were before. After the rain, there are often white filaments in the fallen leaves and rotten wood in the forest. When it gets bigger, it's a mushroom.

In this way, two people will understand.

But if you want to use this new technology to raise pigs, you need to build a new pig house and make it into a dome shed.Mu Xiaolu thought, in the world he lived in, raising chickens and pigs in greenhouses and growing vegetables were very common and mature technologies, but there was no plastic here, and plastic sheets could not be used to transmit light and keep warm, and barbed wire was also very expensive. Technically, it is difficult.

Qi Cheng asked curiously: "I've never heard of the method of raising pigs you mentioned. Don't you all use pig pens to raise pigs?"

Mu Xiaolu smiled, and said a little proudly: "My method of raising pigs is called raising pigs in fermentation beds. They don't smell bad or get tired."

Neither Qi Cheng nor Xiaofei believed it.

It is imperative to build a new pig house. Fortunately, the original pig house is just a few simple houses, so it is not a waste to use it for other purposes.Bamboo poles and oiled paper cloth are easy to find, but ventilation and warmth in the lower layer are not easy to do.In the end, it was Qi Cheng’s idea: the lower layer was built with stones, the walls had to be thicker, and small windows were left, and the outer layer was made of two layers of screens and window paper. If the pig’s mouth cannot reach the outer window, it cannot be arched out. up.

In fact, the money spent on rebuilding the pig house is not much. The bamboo poles used most are very cheap, but the screens and window paper cost a little money. Because the windows are very small, they are not used much.But although the worst gauze is used, who would ordinary people use gauze to paste windows?Use paper at most, use straw if it is worse!

The villagers who came to the village said: "Jingyuan's pigs live better than humans. They use screens, and they wash their feet with alkaline water and chalk when entering the gate."

Mu Xiaolu smiled without saying a word.

The greenhouse had just been built for two days, and the main structure had just been completed, but Mu Xiaolu collapsed from exhaustion.Back pain, leg cramps, high fever, and lay down all of a sudden, unable to get up.

"Who told you to ignore craftsmen in order to save money? Did you suffer? From the day you built the farm, from the design drawings to the purchase of materials to build the house, you did it yourself. You didn't rest all day. Do you think you are Popeye?" Xiaofei complained while making medicine for him.

But Mu Xiaolu didn't hear it, his cheeks were flushed, his expression was confused, and he was falling asleep.

"Don't let him work in the future, you work more, and I will move in tomorrow."

"Yes, General." Qi Cheng said.

"Oh, how stubborn!" Wang Hui sighed as he looked at Mu Xiaolu's fiery red cheeks.

In ten days, a simple but practical greenhouse was built.

I have to say that Qi Cheng and Wang Hui have contributed a lot.In order to accommodate Mu Xiaolu's not wanting to spend money, Wang Hui worked with Qi Cheng at the pig farm almost day and night.

After Mu Xiaolu recovered from his illness, he leaned on the wall and walked out of the room. Seeing that everything was a foregone conclusion, Wang Hui had already taken root here, so he had no choice but to accept the reality.

He is not cold-blooded, and cannot ignore a person's labor to the point of unreasonable.

A brand-new greenhouse stands tall, with a lower wall made of stones, a circle of small windows, a layer of screens, and a layer of paper windows. The paper windows are raised when ventilating, and put down when keeping warm.The three-meter-high dome made of bamboo sticks is covered with oiled paper cloth, and there are two rows of small vents with hats on it. This is the hard work and labor of everyone here. Mu Xiaolu felt inexplicable gratitude in his heart.

But when did Wang Hui come?have no idea.All he knew was that he could hear him talking when he was drowsy.

Then it's time to go to the forest in the mountains to collect fungi.Mu Xiaolu dragged his still body and wanted to go out into the mountain. Wang Hui frowned and blocked the door. Mu Xiaolu wanted to get through, but Wang Hui blocked him like a wall. Mu Xiaolu was no longer afraid of him. So hard to drill out.It will be too late if we delay any longer, it is already mid-April, and we are in a stalemate, Xiao Sulin came, saying that Aunt Jing asked him to go back, and someone came to ask for a marriage.

Mu Xiaolu wondered, "Who are you begging for?"

Su Lin said: "It's for Sister Taoye to propose marriage."

"Who is going to propose?"

"I don't know each other. My aunt told you to go back quickly." Su Lin and the others originally called Aunt Jing's wife, but Aunt Jing refused to agree, so she had to follow Mu Xiaolu and call her aunt.

Xiao Sulin couldn't explain clearly, so Mu Xiaolu had no choice but to go back to town immediately.

The contradiction is temporarily resolved.

Back home in the town, when I asked, my aunt said that the person who proposed was Zhao Qing.Mu Xiaolu felt that he didn't know him, so he should call the matchmaker first.As a result, the matchmaker brought the suitor to the door directly.

Mu Xiaolu's face turned pale when he saw it.

He knew this Zhao Qing.It turned out to be the lieutenant under Li Wenxiu's account!Although not familiar, but definitely not to the point of forgetting.It wasn't as close as Lao Chai and Qi Cheng were to him, but he had completely witnessed the whole process of his humiliation under Wang Hui's account.

"Long time no see, Mr. Mu, how have you been?" Zhao Qing bowed his hands to Mu Xiaolu with a smile on his handsome face.

In Mu Xiaolu's ears, the usual greeting carried a hint of sarcasm.But in front of the whole room, Mu Xiaolu had no choice but to respond politely with a pale face.

This thing is so weird.

Let Su Lin drink tea with the guests first, then Mu Xiaolu hurriedly dragged his aunt to the back room and quietly asked what happened, why did this person come here?Still come to ask for a kiss?When did he meet his cousin Taoye?

My aunt also wondered: "I haven't seen this person before? On the day when Lao Zhao gave you a pig last time, Tao Ye went out to buy needles and thread, and brought Wang Hui and that man in when he came back, saying that he was visiting me. I greet you. I know Wang Hui. Which one did that person invite me? Then he came to visit twice in the past few days, and then sent a matchmaker to propose marriage. He said that his family is in the capital, he has no parents, and he has no parents. No brother, alone, now transferred to the imperial guards of the capital. Yuan, what do you think?"

Mu Xiaolu was at a loss, but he understood one thing, it had something to do with Wang Hui!

My cousin is a beautiful and quiet woman, but her life is very hard. If she gets married again, she must find a gentle, considerate and wealthy man, and the elders in the family must be gentle, so that her cousin cannot be wronged again.

I don't know Zhao Qing well, so who knows what to do?Although he looks good, he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart.What's more, his own life experience is not glorious, his status in the army was Wang Hui's male favourite, Zhao Qing is fully aware of this, will he belittle his cousin because of this?

No, this relationship is risky and cannot be married.

After thinking about it, he said to Aunt Jing: "It's a big deal for my cousin to remarry. You must take a good look at the man's character and family background. Don't agree to it yet."

The aunt and nephew came out after discussing for a while, Mu Xiaolu smiled and said: "General Zhao, marriage is a big matter, we must discuss it carefully, so we will reply you later, do you think so?"

Seeing that the marriage failed, Zhao Qing was a little disappointed, but said nothing, smiled softly, bid farewell, and went out with the matchmaker.

Here Mu Xiaolu immediately ordered Su Lin to go to the mountain again and call Wang Hui.You must ask him what he intends to do in this matter!It's nothing to me, if it's bad for my family, I can't spare him!

Suddenly thought: That suspicious wild boar, the wild boar that will act coquettishly and grunt at himself.It wasn't caught by Lao Zhao, how could the really wild ones kiss people?Will you still kiss yourself?Maybe it's the little wild boar in the Yanxi city army!If you think about it this way, things will come together.

When Wang Hui came home with a smile, Mu Xiaolu asked blankly, "General, you recruited Zhao Qing, right? Now he is coming to my house to propose, what do you think I should do?"

Wang Hui said with a smile: "This family is not bad, Zhao Qing has a bright future, he looks good, and his character is also good."

"Okay, now tell me, how did Zhao Qing come to the door?"

Seeing that Wang Hui couldn't hide it, he had to resort to all the tricks, but he was not afraid of Mu Xiaolu's anger, this was a happy event and not a bad one, Zhao Qing was really good.

Here's the thing.That day Wang Hui hurried home from Beijing, only to see Zhao Qing waiting for him.

It turned out that Li Wenxiu returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and Zhao Qing was transferred and promoted along the way. The wild boar had grown up long ago, and everyone in the camp wanted to eat it, but General Li thought it was a testimony of General Wang chasing a beautiful woman, so he should leave it to the general. So I brought them here not far away, and asked Zhao Qing to deliver the wild boars on the way, and then went back to Beijing.

Zhao Qing waited for two days, just when Wang Hui came back, he was overjoyed when he saw the wild boar, so he hurriedly took the wild boar to Xiushui Town, and asked the old hunter Zhao to pretend that it was a hunted one and send it to Mu Xiaolu.But I went to greet Aunt Jing, whether the marriage is successful or not, the attitude of the elders is very important, so I must pay more greetings and give more gifts, a word from my aunt is more useful than ten words from myself.

When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Taoye walking from the street with a bundle in his arms, and Wang Hui hurriedly greeted her.

It's just that Zhao Qing looked straight ahead.

Taoye is wearing a plain cloth dress, wearing a homely woman's hair bun, with only a mahogany hairpin pinned to it, without any decorations, no makeup on the face, no patterns on the skirt, clean and elegant, just like Like an elegant orchid.

Zhao Qing didn't say a word, but that beautiful figure stayed in her heart.He found out that she was Mu Xiaolu's cousin and was a widow at home, so he begged the general to make a connection to accomplish something good.

After hearing this, Mu Xiaolu smiled slightly: "General, this matter cannot be done."
