Chapter 112 The Trap is Coming

Huang Miao and Jiang Houfa went out to work, and Chen Lianying took Chen Hui to the tool room.

As a carpenter.

The thing that Jiang Houfa has the most at home is equipment to keep various knives sharp.

There is a row of whetstones alone.

Big and small, round and square, narrow and long, wide and long, were lined up in the tool shed.

"Choose."

"But you can only stay at my aunt's house and you can't take anything with you."

"These are all your Master Jiang's treasures. If one of them is missing, he will fight me to the death." Chen Lianying smiled with her hand covering her mouth.

"Hahahaha, when Master Jiang is fighting with you, will he hit himself?" Chen Hui joked with a smile.

Everyone in the village knew that Jiang Houfa loved Chen Lianying very much.

I would feel heartbroken for a long time if my skin was slightly broken.

"You little bastard, you even dare to make fun of your aunt."

Chen Lianying cursed with a smile and went to do his own thing.

"Hey, my Master Huang, why did you go out?" Chen Hui sighed to himself.

He chose a suitable whetstone and took it to the patio of Jiang Houfa's house to start sharpening the knife.

After Chen Lianying finished her housework, she came over to help.

When Chen Hui went back with the hoe, An Wenjing was squatting beside the toilet, looking forward intently.

Judging from her appearance, it doesn't look like she has been caught in a trap.

Chen Hui calmed down and felt it quietly, and sensed a jackal moving further and further away.

He is very brave and dares to come here in broad daylight.

If nothing unexpected happens, this trap will soon yield results.

An Wenjing didn't know that the jackal had left without looking back. She was still squatting and waiting quietly, as if she wanted to witness the whole process of it entering the trap and being trapped.

Chen Hui walked over lightly and squatted behind An Wenjing.

He lowered his voice and said, "Don't look at it, it's already gone."

"what!!"

"You? You want to die?!"

An Wenjing was so focused that she jumped up in fright at the sudden sound.

After finding out it was Chen Hui, he was so angry that he started punching people.

"Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, I was wrong."

Chen Hui held An Wenjing in his arms and patted her back to comfort her.

"You scared me to death, you are so mean!"

This scene was really funny, but An Wenjing was also very angry.

He hit Chen Hui and cursed him while laughing.

"Did you see a jackal just now?" Chen Hui asked.

"Yeah, it's right there. It tiptoed down stealthily, and ran away when it saw me." An Wenjing said, pointing to the trap a few meters away.

"Uncle Xiaoqiao should be awake by now. Go find him and borrow his gun."

"Borrow a gun?" An Wenjing was puzzled.

"This trap can't hurt it, it can only bind it."

"There's still a chance we'll be bitten when we try to catch it, so it's safer to have a gun," Chen Hui explained.

"Okay, I'll go find Uncle Xiaoqiao."

"Eh? Is the hoe sharpened? Did Huang Miao sharpen it for you?" An Wenjing picked up the hoe that Chen Hui had put aside and looked at it.

"Master Huang went out to work with Master Jiang. I sharpened it myself."

"Master Huang is really amazing. He is ready to help so quickly."

An Wenjing handed the hoe to Chen Hui and trotted to Chen Kaiming's house.

Chen Hui stood there and watched for a while. Well, now I know who An Wenyi learned how to run.

By the time Chen Hui had reinserted the sharpened hoe and secured it firmly, An Wenjing had already returned with the borrowed gun.

As Chen Hui said, hang the gun behind the door so that it is easy to get when needed.

I went into the kitchen and took the seeds to the open space in front of the house.

"Let me see what you bought?" Chen Hui took the seeds from An Wenjing's hand.

Different seeds are wrapped in folded papers.

The words written on the paper were: pepper, loofah, pumpkin, sweet potato, edamame, long beans, beetroot, and eggplant.

"Why buy these?" Chen Hui asked.

"hey-hey."

An Wenjing grinned, pointed at the paper bag and said to Chen Hui:
"You can eat both green and red peppers. If you can't finish them, you can dry them. You have no idea how delicious the chili oil was last time!"

"Pumpkins and sweet potatoes, both their stems and leaves are vegetables! They can be stored for a long time after they are harvested."

"When edamame is fresh, you can cook it and eat it. The leftovers can be dried into soybeans and stored for the winter."

“Long beans, red cabbage and eggplant can all be made into dried vegetables for the winter.”

Chen Hui took the loofah that An Wenjing had pulled down and asked, "What about this?"

"do not know."

An Wenjing shook her head: "My mother insisted that I buy this, and she told me several times to keep a few to grow into old loofahs."

"Old loofah?"

Old loofah can be dried and made into loofah pancakes, which are very good for washing dishes and keeping clean.

But at a time like this, there is not enough food to eat, and the dishcloths are made from unworn clothes, so it is impossible that they are used for washing dishes.

"Yes, I originally wanted to plant some that can survive the winter." An Wenjing shrugged to express her incomprehension.

"Don't worry about it. If mom tells us to plant, we'll just plant."

"We still have several hundred yuan at home. If we run out of food, we can go buy some. We don't have to worry about winter all the time."

As Chen Hui spoke, he handed the seeds to An Wenjing and began to plan the land outside the door.

"Brother Chen Hui, are you stupid? Vegetables don't grow in the fields in winter. Where are you going to buy them with the money?"

An Wenjing laughed and picked up a wooden stick that she had dropped on the side when she was building the fence.

Use wooden sticks to scratch the ground to divide the land into different areas.

"."

Chen Hui really wanted to tell her that in just a few years, there would be vegetables to buy in winter.

In a dozen years or so, vegetables will no longer need to be purchased and planted according to the season, and can be eaten all year round.

In a few decades, people will be able to sit at home and have food delivered to their doorstep.

But it's just a thought.

When Chen Hui looks back, he thinks it was all too dreamy.

If I tell An Wenjing about this, she will just laugh at me for daydreaming.

"Brother Chen Hui, can you come over and take a look at this? Is this okay?" An Wenjing asked after marking the grid.

"Is there any particularity in these large and small grids?" Chen Hui asked after taking a look.

"The two plots closest to the hillside are reserved for planting peach and pear trees. These two types of trees will have very large roots when they grow up, so they cannot be planted in front of the house."

"The one near the fence, I thought I'd use it to grow pumpkins, so I don't have to build a trellis."

"We can just make a separate rack for the loofah and long beans, what do you think?" An Wenjing asked with a smile.

"You know more about this than I do. Let's do it this way." Chen Hui said, picking up the hoe and starting to hoe the ground.

Wang Hongmei went up the mountain to deliver food and came back, and saw Chen Hui hoeing the field on the hillside.

He joked with a smile: "This is really the first batch of flowers in spring. Chen Hui has to do farm work."

"Aunt Hongmei, please don't laugh at him. Brother Chen Hui is not the lazy guy you think he is."
