Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Grandma, don't worry! Your grandson's wife won't get away. These things didn't cost much. Many of them were given to you by others! Don't you believe in your grandson's ability?"

The old lady was happy, "Okay, okay, I'll bring it to grandma when I have time!"

"Okay! Then you have to take good care of your body, you still have to take care of your great-grandson!"

"Grandma, I will definitely bring it to you!" Grandma was even happier when she thought of her great-grandson!

"Grandson, where did the food come from? This flour is really white! If you bring this food, will it be enough for our family to eat?"

"Grandma, don't worry, there's enough food at home! There's also a bag of cornmeal downstairs, I'll carry it up later!"

"What are you carrying? Wait until your uncle comes back and let him carry it!" Grandma didn't want Chen Zhiguo to work, but how could Chen Zhiguo wait until Chen Dahu came back? These were all grown in the space, so Chen Zhiguo hurried out with the empty backpack, "It's okay, grandma, I'll carry it back!"

The main task of this trip is to deliver food to grandma's house! The food produced in my own space is of good quality, but the current output is still very low, only enough for the family to eat, or there are not enough grains at that time. After waiting for two months, Chen Zhiguo will have enough food!

It should be noted that although the time in the space is the same as that in the outside world, the growth time of the species in it is significantly accelerated! For example, it takes about 100 days to plant spring wheat, and the maturity time in different places is different, some are long and some are short. Of course, this has a lot to do with the local temperature, but in the space, it will mature in less than a month! It is about three times the time in the outside world!

The same goes for rice. In the outside world, early-maturing rice takes about ninety days to mature, but in space it can be harvested in more than twenty days!

For example, rabbits. Normally in the outside world, rabbits usually give birth to one litter of rabbits a month, with each litter ranging from one to a dozen rabbits. After half a month, the female rabbit can get pregnant again. If calculated in this way, a female rabbit can give birth to six litters of rabbits a year!

In the space, a litter is born every ten days, with more than ten to twenty baby rabbits in each litter, and two litters of rabbits are produced in a month!

Outside, it takes about half a year for a little rabbit to grow from birth to adulthood, but in space, it only takes one month to reach adulthood, the time is shortened very quickly! Chen Zhiguo judged that it should be related to the environment in space. The growth of rabbits has obviously accelerated. The wild rabbits that Chen Zhiguo caught were not very fat, weighing only about five or six pounds, but now, the rabbits in space are about fifteen pounds! The species has evolved!

In view of the fact that the rabbits grew too fast, Chen Zhiguo began to control them. He slaughtered nearly 200 adult male rabbits, and he made sure they were not allowed to grow too fat, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when he sold them to customers!

This time, Chen Zhiguo brought food here for his grandparents because he believes that long-term consumption of food produced in the space is good for health. For the sake of his grandparents' health, it is worth taking some risks!

Soon, Chen Zhiguo came up with a backpack on his back. In one hand, he held a kerosene barrel, which was 20 kilograms of kerosene that he had bought specially. In the other hand, he held a few bags of cakes and vegetables.

When grandma saw Chen Zhiguo coming in, she hurried forward to take the things. Chen Zhiguo just handed the pastries to her and took the rest himself!

"Why did you buy so much food?" Grandma couldn't help asking.

"I just happened to come across a batch of cheap food, and it was my classmate's family who took care of me!" Well-intentioned, well-intentioned, Chen Zhiguo could only mutter to himself. He didn't want to lie, but he couldn't tell his grandmother where the food came from!

"Then you don't have to give me so much, you can keep it for your family!" Grandma looked at so much food in the kitchen, and it was good food, white flour, fragrant rice, and fine cornmeal!

"Grandma, we have food at home. We all have food coupons, so how can we be short of food?" Chen Zhiguo laughed. This is the difference between city people and rural people!

"That's right!" The grandmother was relieved. Her grandson was thinking about her, so what else could she say? Of course she was smiling from ear to ear!

"Grandma, keep the flour and rice for yourself. Make some porridge and steam some flour buns in the morning. Give some cornmeal to your second uncle! Don't worry, I'll send you more later!"

"No, no, this is enough for your grandfather and I to eat for a long time! We rural people still eat white flour buns and rice porridge. Grandson, the cornmeal you bought is really good and ground very finely! The steamed buns made from it must be delicious!"

"Grandma, let's steam some, some white flour, and some double-grain flour, just right for lunch!" If Chen Zhiguo hadn't said it, grandma would definitely not be willing to eat white flour!

"Okay, grandma, I'll make it right away! Let's eat early!" After hearing this, grandma knew that her eldest grandson wanted to eat, so she quickly made it! Nothing was more important than cooking for her eldest grandson!

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Chen Zhiguo said to his grandmother, "Grandma, I'm going to the mountains for a walk!"

"Don't go too far. The grass on the mountain is growing now. Be careful of snakes!" The grandmother was worried. Her hands were covered with flour, and she couldn't pull her eldest grandson by the hand, so she could only remind him!

"Got it, grandma! If there is a snake, we will have a good meal today!" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile, and he still went up the mountain with the backpack on his back! Spring is here, everything is revived, and the mountains have changed. The hillsides are lush and green, and unknown small wild flowers are blooming all over the hillsides. The birds in the woods are also chirping non-stop!

No one goes up the mountain now. The adults are busy in the fields and children are not allowed to come. The most they can do is get some firewood at the edge of the woods!

Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Zhiguo started running on the mountain road. He could not catch prey without going deep into the mountains. This time, his main purpose was to increase the species of plants and animals in his own space!

Therefore, along the way, Chen Zhiguo would stop whenever he saw fruit trees or something. Now that he was more and more proficient in the use of space collection, collection had become very easy. For example, for fruit trees, he only needed to touch the ground with his hands, and the roots of the fruit trees would naturally fall off from the soil. Chen Zhiguo cut off the tiny roots, leaving the main roots and a few thick roots of the fruit trees. It would be easier to collect them into the space. A big pit appeared directly on the ground in the space. After the fruit trees were loaded in, the soil automatically wrapped around the roots!

Along the way, Chen Zhiguo collected apple trees, persimmon trees, chestnut trees, hawthorn trees, walnut trees, grape vines, jujube trees, wild pear trees, as well as kiwis, crabapples, raspberries, wild mulberries and more!

It was a great harvest, and it also greatly enriched the species in the space! Chen Zhiguo even collected two nests of wild bees into the space. After waiting for a month, the honey can be eaten!

Of course, they collected a lot of birds along the way. Whenever they came across one, they would put it into the space and prepare food for the white fox!

In addition, I also collected several hedgehogs and squirrels! Of course, there were snakes along the way, but I didn't collect them. Instead, I just chopped off their heads and put them in the backpack! This is delicious! I got two pheasants and played Farewell My Concubine!

Chapter 80 Go to school!

Since practicing meditation, although Chen Zhiguo does not know any martial arts, his physical fitness is really getting stronger and stronger! As strong as an ox and as light as a swallow, these are just basic changes. The real core is the change in his mental power, which can also be called the growth of his thoughts and the development of his brain!

The effect brought about by this is very obvious. People become smarter, and being able to read ten lines at a glance and remember everything they see are all basic operations!

The real change lies in Chen Zhiguo's control over the entire paradise and his collection of external things!

Small objects, such as birds, can be reached with just a thought from a distance of one or two hundred meters!

But it is not the same for large objects. The heavier the objects, the closer the distance. Chen Zhiguo once experimented and found that a stone weighing more than 200 kilograms could be collected from a distance of ten meters!

But for things like trees that have root systems, contact is necessary to harvest!

This ability is not static. As time goes by, Chen Zhiguo will continue to practice, and his ability to collect will still increase, but it will become slower!

The mountains near Chenjia Village and several nearby hills are deserted because people often go hunting in the winter, so there is no trace of large prey!

What Chen Zhiguo collected along the way were nothing more than small animals such as birds, squirrels, hedgehogs, hares, pheasants, etc. He never saw any large animals!

Looking at the time, it was almost noon. Chen Zhiguo decided to return and go up the mountain early tomorrow and stay there for a whole day!

On the way down the mountain, we didn’t take the original route, but went around in a circle and continued to sweep!

When he returned to Chenjia Village, Chen Zhiguo was holding two pheasants in his hands, and there were three rabbits and five snakes in his backpack. These were the ones Chen Zhiguo had specially left behind. All of them were more than two meters long. They looked thick and fleshy. Chen Zhiguo ignored the thin little snakes at all!

On the mountain road not far from home, Chen Zhiguo saw his grandfather, second uncle, and uncle drinking tea and chatting in the yard!

Xiaomei and Xiaoyue were playing on the side, while grandma and second aunt Zhao Chunhua were going in and out of the kitchen!

"Grandpa! Grandma!" Chen Zhiguo shouted even though he was still several meters away from the courtyard wall!

Grandma stood at the kitchen door and shouted to Grandpa, "You old man, my eldest grandson is back, why don't you go and meet him!"

Grandpa didn't get angry. He stood up with a smile. Before he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Chen Zhiguo walking in through the wall carrying a pheasant!

The second uncle and the eldest grandfather also came over. Grandpa took the pheasant from Chen Zhiguo's hand, and the second uncle helped Chen Zhiguo take off the backpack!

"Zhiguo, you are really great! In just a short while! Oh my god! There's a snake!" Second uncle dropped the backpack and ran to grandpa!

Although my second uncle is thirty-five or thirty-six years old, he is naturally afraid of snakes. There were four or five snakes in the backpack. When he picked up the wild rabbit, he saw a pile of snakes underneath. He was scared to death!

Chen Zhiguo, who was standing nearby, looked at his second uncle's appearance and laughed out loud. Although Xiaomei and Xiaoyue didn't know that their father would be like this, since their eldest brother laughed, they laughed too!

Grandma was annoyed by the second uncle's howling. "Why are you howling? You are so old, but you are not even as good as a child. You are such a loser. Go help your father to get rid of the pheasant!"

Grandpa also looked at his second uncle standing behind him with disdain, dropped the pheasant he was plucking, and went to clean up the snake with Chen Dalong!

The snakes caught by Chen Zhiguo were all non-venomous. He chopped off the snake heads, so it was very easy to clean them up. The old man didn't let my grandfather do it, he did it by himself!

There was a tree stump in the yard with an iron hook specially used for skinning. Chen Dalong skillfully hung the snake on the hook and pulled it down with both hands. The whole snake skin was peeled off, revealing the white flesh!

"Aunt Four, bring me a bowl!" Chen Dalong shouted as he rummaged through the snake's internal organs and pulled out a green snake gall!

"This snake is quite meaty." Grandma took a look and handed the bowl to Chen Dalong. "Do you want to soak it in wine? Dalong?"

"No, there will be more later. Leave two to soak in wine and eat the rest directly!" They are all non-venomous snakes, so there is no need to worry! Grandma looked at them for a while, then went back to the kitchen to work. On the way, she scolded Chen Dahu who was busy cleaning the pheasant, "What a waste, how old are you? You are not even as good as a child!" Chen Dahu was so embarrassed,

"Mom, I've been afraid of it since I was a child, you know that!" Chen Dahu also felt aggrieved, "You were still breastfeeding when you were a child? Are you still breastfeeding now? You're just a thing that won't grow up!" Chen Dahu had no way to deal with the scolding from his grandmother, she just didn't like him!

Chen Zhiguo gave each of his two sisters a handful of candy, and he walked over to watch Chen Dalong and his grandfather working! Chen Dalong quickly skinned the five snakes, and except for the snake gallbladder, he threw away all the other internal organs and fed them to the chickens!

Chen Dalong went to fetch water to clean it, and then it was Grandpa's turn. Rabbits are actually easy to cook. This is the rabbit that Chen Zhiguo took out from the space, which weighs about ten pounds. Grandpa shook it and said, "This rabbit is fat, the meat must be delicious!" Rabbit meat is relatively dry, and it must be cooked with heavy oil to be delicious, but who is willing to use oil now! Some people are good enough to cook with just one or two drops!

A fat rabbit means the meat is loose and has fat. Such a rabbit is easy to roast and tastes good! Grandpa chopped the rabbit head directly. There are only two rabbits. If there are more, a spicy rabbit head is also a delicious dish!

Sure enough, my grandfather's guess was right. When the rabbit was cut open, the meat was bright red and elastic! Chen Dalong, who was watching from the side, also said, "This rabbit will definitely taste delicious when it's roasted!"

"Hurry up, you've got two chickens, you can do anything, just eat every day!" The snake meat is ready and cut into pieces. Grandma is now waiting for the pheasant in the hands of the second uncle. "You've been working so hard to pluck chicken feathers, and you're still hesitating!"

Second Uncle is so nice, no matter what grandma says to him, he never gets angry, instead he smiles and says, “It will be there soon, it will be there soon!

After the dishes were cooked, grandma, second aunt, Xiaomei, and Xiaoyue ate together, while grandpa, Chen Dalong, second uncle, and Chen Zhiguo ate at the same table! This meal was really late, in fact, it could be called dinner! At noon, everyone simply ate two steamed buns made by grandma! They all saved their stomachs for this hard dish!

Pheasant stewed with snake meat is authentic game. You can tell how delicious it is just by drinking the soup. This dish was stewed for more than two hours, and the same goes for the braised rabbit. Because we have to wait for the pheasant to stew the snake meat, the rabbit meat has also been slow-cooked in a big pot!

Not all three rabbits were eaten, and the remaining one was hung to dry. Grandma asked Chen Zhiguo to take it home when he returned! Although Chen Zhiguo wanted to say, "I have more, I have many rabbits," he still nodded in agreement!

Today we were drinking Xifeng wine. Chen Zhiguo poured wine for Grandpa, Chen Dalong, and Chen Dahu in turn, and then poured some for himself! After drinking a sip of wine together, the chopsticks of several people did not stop. Second uncle did not dare to eat snake meat, so he ate rabbit meat. Grandpa took a look and said, "You are still not starving. If you are starving, I wonder if you will still be picky!"

The second uncle lowered his head and ate the meat, not trying to refute Grandpa's words. If he had the time to talk, he might as well eat more meat! This is what the second uncle thought and did!

After a while of swirling, several people's stomachs were full, so they picked up their bowls to drink. At the table, Chen Zhiguo talked about the recent situation at home, Chen Dayong's promotion, and his own internship. Even the people at the grandmother's table put down their chopsticks and listened attentively to Chen Zhiguo's words!

Chen Dayong has officially become a state cadre. The director of the maintenance workshop was only a section-level cadre before, but now he is a deputy section-level cadre! Chen Dalong picked up the wine bowl and toasted his grandfather, "Fourth uncle, Brother Dayong has made it big now!"

"Him! With his personality, he can only be a small cadre, what else can he do!" Although grandpa's words were full of disdain, the smile on the corner of his mouth had already revealed his happiness!

"Uncle, I want to take my two little sisters back to the city to go to school!" Chen Zhiguo's words startled his uncle, and his aunt beside him said quickly, "You can't do that, you can't do that!"

"It's okay, Second Aunt!" Chen Zhiguo simply stood up. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't have the ability to do so before. Now that he has no worries about food and drink, it's time to provide help to his family!

"Uncle, aunt, my father is now a cadre, and his salary is over 70 yuan. I also have an internship salary of about 30 yuan, so you don't have to worry about money. Besides, there is enough food and a place to live at home, so don't worry!"

Grandpa and grandma didn't say anything. They had said before that Chen Zhiguo would be the head of the family, and what Chen Zhiguo said was for the good of the children in the family. Why would they object?

As for how the second son and the two granddaughters will repay Chen Zhiguo's favor, that is also their decision!

"Zhiguo, this, this, this!" The second uncle choked and was speechless. The second aunt beside him also had tears in her eyes. This rural woman didn't know how to thank her nephew. The two little sisters were full of longing when they heard that they could go to the city!

"Xiaomei, Xiaoyue, both of you kneel down!" Second Aunt wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeves and suddenly said, "Stupid!"

"Second Aunt, what are you doing?" Chen Zhiguo hurried to support the two sisters, "I am their brother!"

Grandma also slammed the table, "You are too confused, aren't you! My eldest grandson is their older brother, what do you want to do?"

Second Aunt then realized that Chen Zhiguo was not an adult, but her nephew, Xiaomei and Xiaoyue's brother!

Grandma just gave her face just now. How can one kowtow to another person of the same generation?

"Mom, I'm confused. I'm so happy!"

Grandma knew that this silly daughter-in-law was extremely happy. After giving birth to two girls in a row, this woman also suffered tremendous grievances and pressure. Although the Chen family never said that having a daughter was bad, the pressure of having no descendants always existed and weighed on her heart!

Today, Chen Zhiguo's words also revealed...

Chapter 81 Going up the mountain to hunt!

Not having a son to support you in your old age is really a serious matter in rural areas. It’s okay for Second Aunt in Chenjia Village, where there is no gossip. But when she sees other families having many sons, how can she not feel pressured?

Fortunately, her second uncle didn't care. He was open-minded and comforted her that it was the same for her son and daughter! Her mother-in-law and father-in-law didn't care either. They said that since Chen Zhiguo was born, the Chen family had a pillar to support the family and the bloodline was continued, so they didn't force it! But she was always worried about what she would do when she got old?

Now Chen Zhiguo's intention has also been made clear. He will be in charge of the second uncle's family in the future. Is this not clear? How can this not make the second uncle and second aunt excited! In theory, Chen Zhiguo is a nephew, and he should be in charge of his affairs after his death, but what if? Now the second uncle and second aunt have all their doubts dispelled!
