The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 19 It's Raining

Sure enough, it rained for two days, and then moderate and heavy rain.

It rained continuously for a whole day, and then it stopped.

The land that had been completely dry began to glow with a little vitality.

The people in the whole village seemed to come back to life because of this heavy rain.It seems to have seen hope, a bright and beautiful future.

When it rains heavily, you don't have to walk the mountain road for a day, but you can draw spring water in the place where there are wolves, tigers and leopards.When it rains heavily, you can grow vegetables and crops, and you don't have to worry about starving to death.

Liang Gaoshan looked at the back mountain full of weeds and bushes, and felt extremely entangled in his heart.

The mountain in front of me has only weeds and low shrubs, and I can't even see a decent tree. How can I turn it into the orchard and pasture that Mai Xiangkou said?So what kind of alfalfa seeds, where can I buy them?Do cows and sheep really like to eat that alfalfa?

The change in this child is really great!Do you want to listen to her words?
The honest man Liang Gaoshan was very entangled.

Mai Xiang begged her father, and took her to the county seat in a bullock cart, and asked many people, but no one knew what alfalfa was.

The ox cart was borrowed from the village head's family.

There are not even a single farm ox in the chaimen.

The ideal is full, the reality is cruel.

Perhaps, in this country, there is no alfalfa at all.

With no choice, Mai Xiang had to consider planting trees first.Fortunately, after the heavy rain, the land has been nourished enough, and digging pits is not particularly strenuous for Hercules Mai Xiang and farmer Liang Gaoshan.

Today, Liang Gaoshan and Mai Xiang are the main labor force in the family.

Grandmother Changshi and mother Huashi are responsible for raising the children and doing housework at home.Mai Xiang and her father were in charge of digging tree pits, and her younger brother Ban Xia took her younger sister Licorice and Poria to follow behind Mai Xiang and her father, picking up weeds and stones, and breaking up large lumps of soil with a small hoe.

This back mountain is not too big, but it is not too small, about [-] mu.The reason why it became a barren mountain was because of excessive felling. The grandfather in the village said that when they were young, the mountain was still lush and green.The height of this mountain is about sixty feet, or about twenty meters.

Mai Xiang divided the back mountain into five areas, east, west, north, south, and middle.Middle refers to the top of the mountain; east, west, south, north, as the name suggests, naturally refers to the east slope, west slope, south slope and north slope.

On the top of the mountain, plants that are both drought-tolerant and cold-resistant, such as chestnuts, bamboos, and kudzu vines, are planted.Chestnut trees, bamboo and kudzu vines can all be dug and planted in other mountains.

Tian Sheng and Mao Lin knew about it, so they carried the hoe without saying a word, and went to the small barren hill to help Mai Xiang's family dig a tree hole.

Liang Gaoshan was very sorry: "Why are you here? It's a hot day and the sun is very hot. You should go home quickly!"

Tian Sheng rolled his eyes at him: "What are you talking about? Poria cocos are here, we are strong men, so we are afraid of getting tanned?"

"That's right, you look so out of place!" Mao Lin also said, raising his hoe vigorously to dig a hole.

Mai Xiang tugged at her father's sleeve, and said to Tian Sheng and Mao Lin with a smile: "Uncles, it's a good job, otherwise, it would take half a month for me and my father to dig a hole for such a big mountain. However, with such a big sun, the uncles have worked very hard, so just give them thirty renminbi a day as wages! Uncle Tian Sheng, Uncle Mao Lin, don’t think too little of it!”

Tian Sheng hurriedly said: "No, we are not here to dig tree pits for wages! We don't want wages!"

Uncle Maolin also said: "We are here to help, no wages!"

Mai Xiang said: "If you don't want wages, then you can go back, my family doesn't want your help!"
