Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 193 Discovering Bees

After An Yue and Chun Zhi came to the wasteland.

They began to swing their hoes again to level the newly turned land.

Chunzhi said, "Miss, use a kitchen knife to cut the soil, then put the sweet potato seedlings into the soil, and then cover it up. This will be faster."

An Yue thought that in the 21st century, the elders in her family did grow sweet potatoes in the same way.

"That's fine, but there's only one kitchen knife at home. How about you use the kitchen knife and I use the hoe?"

Chunzhi nodded and said "hmm".

They squatted in the field and worked for a long time, and all the sweet potato vines in the two baskets had been planted in the field.

An Yue looked up and saw that the sun was setting. Unknowingly, more than an hour had passed.

They began to go home carrying baskets on their backs, opened the gates of the yard, and put down their hoes after entering the yard.

An Yue went to the main hall and drank half a bowl of water, and Chunzhi let all the chicks out to run around.

The two of them sat in the yard, watching the chicks looking for insects and taking a short break.

When they had rested for a while, Anyue and Chunzhi went to the back mountain carrying baskets and sickles.

They planned to reclaim the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.

After reaching the back mountain.

An Yue and Chun Zhi started to get busy. Each of them took a sickle and squatted in the wasteland to start clearing the weeds.

The setting sun shone on them and sweat ran down their cheeks, but they didn't care.

While working, An Yue looked at the soil here. Due to the decomposition of leaves and ferns, the soil at the foot of the mountain became very loose.

She thought that the foot of the mountain was far from home and it would be inconvenient to grow corn. It would be much easier to grow sweet potatoes, as they also require relatively less fertilizer.

So, An Yue decided to plant some sweet potatoes at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, An Yue vaguely heard a 'buzzing' sound.

She carefully followed the direction of the sound and found that the buzzing sound came from the direction where Chunzhi was squatting and mowing the grass.

An Yue took a few steps closer to Chunzhi. The buzzing sound became louder and louder, but she was not sure what kind of bees it was.

If it is a hornet, a little noise will attract a swarm of bees to attack it.

So, An Yue whispered to Chunzhi: "Chunzhi, stop! Don't move!"

Chunzhi turned around and asked, "Miss, what's going on?"

"Don't move, just come to me slowly."

An Yue didn't dare tell her that there were bees, for fear that she would be frightened and panic and make noise, which would then attack her.

An Yue remembered the miserable experience of being stung by a wasp in the 21st century.

She remembered that summer when she followed her grandfather to weed the fields at the foot of a mountain near her hometown. There were many stones at the foot of the mountain, and there was a hornet's nest next to the cracks in the stones.

The hornet was oval in shape, and she clearly remembered that it was about the size of a little finger.

When she saw the hornet, she foolishly shouted for her grandfather to come over and take a look.

As a result, a wasp flew towards her and stung her directly on the back of her head. She cried loudly in pain.

Immediately afterwards, several hornets attacked her together, but fortunately she ran fast and got to her grandfather.

Seeing this, my grandfather quickly grabbed some dry grass nearby, took out his lighter and lit it, and the hornet dared not come over.

She only remembered that the back of her head was painful and itchy, and it swelled up like a pig's head in a short while. Soon she felt dizzy, nauseous, and wanted to vomit.

A few days later, my grandfather set fire to the hornet's nest after dark.

Now that I think about it, I was really lucky not to have been stung to death.

Chunzhi had already walked cautiously to An Yue. An Yue looked carefully and found that the bees were small in size and numerous in number.

Now it is certain that they are not wasps.

An Yue walked over slowly and took a look. Compared with a hornet, this bee looked smaller and fleshy, so she was sure it was a honeybee.

At that moment, An Yue was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect to meet bees here.

"Miss, what is that?" Chunzhi asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Chunzhi, we are going to get rich!" An Yue said to Chunzhi with a tilted head and a smile.

"Let them stay here for a few days. When I have everything ready, I will come and take them home."

Chunzhi scratched his head and continued to ask, "Miss, how did we become rich?"

An Yue turned around and smiled, "You will know soon." As she spoke, An Yue began to put grass into her backpack, preparing to go home.

The sun was about to set, and they each carried their backpacks and went home.

After returning home.

An Yue opened the gate of the yard, and Chunzhi went to the kitchen without saying a word, washed the pot and started preparing dinner.

An Yue said to Chunzhi in the kitchen, "Chunzhi, steam the rice first and boil some water in the other iron pot. Grandfather and uncle will come back and take a shower soon. I'll go to the vegetable garden and bring back some vegetables."

"Okay, miss."

Afterwards, An Yue took the dustpan and walked towards the black soil.

Not far from the gate of the yard, I saw An Nian coming back from the town school.

An Nian saw from afar that it was his sister, so he shouted, "Where are you going, sister?"

"Oh, Niannian is back! I'm going to go to the fields to pick some spinach. Niannian, go home first!"

"Niannian also wants to go with sister." As he said that, he ran towards An Yue.

From a distance I could see my grandfather and uncle bending over, planting rice in the paddy fields.

An Yue shouted loudly: "Grandfather, uncle, it's getting late, it's time to call it a day!"

When my grandfather heard the shout, he stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, plant the seedlings in your hand, and then we will go back."

The brother and sister walked to the vegetable garden, squatted down and began to evenly distribute the dense spinach seedlings.

As soon as An Nian saw An Yue's little mouth, he started talking nonstop.

After mixing the spinach, the brother and sister prepared to go home.

At this time, my grandfather and uncle had just finished planting the seedlings in their hands, so the four of them walked home together.

As they walked, the uncle suddenly teased An Nian: "Niannian, take off your clothes and let your uncle wear them! How about your uncle go to school for you?"

An Nian said proudly, "No way!" and turned his head away.

The grandfather walked at the end, laughing and mocking his son Jiang Chenghai: "When I asked you to go to school, you insisted on robbing bird nests, being naughty and causing trouble all day long. Look at Niannian, how sensible and obedient he is, not like you, his uncle."

Uncle Jiang Chenghai heard this and sighed helplessly: "Dad, why do you and Mom always bring up the past? This happened so many years ago!"

Along the way, the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed, having a great time.

Before they knew it, they were home.

Now that a new house has been built, my grandfather and uncle no longer have to run back and forth every day.

They brought thin quilts from Jiang's house, and the father and son planned to plant the seedlings in two acres of paddy fields before returning.

When we got home, Chunzhi had already steamed the rice and heated up the leftover stewed radish and meat from lunch.
