Chapter 36 Establish a ‘cow’ design
Chen Dongyue, who was holding Song Dezhu's hand, soon arrived at the foot of Daqing Mountain.
After unloading the ox cart at the foot of the mountain, she led Song Dezhu and walked all the way up the mountain.
In fact, she came here not just to chop wood.
Most importantly, she came to pick out two thicker trees to cut down and take home to make stakes.
She used to have a professional sparring partner when she practiced boxing. Now that she doesn't have a sparring partner, she can only make a wooden stake by herself.
Daqingshan is said to be a mountain, but the terrain is not very steep, so to be more precise, this place should be called Daqingpo.
Therefore, it is not too difficult to climb this mountain.
While it was not snowing and the weather was not unbearably cold, Chen Dongyue decided to climb a mountain and do some aerobic exercise.
She took two apples from the space, gnawed one herself, gave one to Song Dezhu, and walked straight to the top of the mountain.
Although the height of Daqingshan is not high, it is quite vast. There are no people on the mountain road at this time, and it is very clean.
If she wasn't afraid that she would be too heavy and excessive mountain climbing would hurt her knees, Chen Dongyue would actually be willing to climb Daqing Mountain every day to do some exercise and relax her body and mind.
In almost an hour, Chen Dongyue led Song Dezhu to the top of the mountain.
Not to mention, the scenery on the top of the mountain is still very good.
Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking Qingshan Village, with the smoke from the cooking pots and the fields and streets, looking from a distance, this place is quite poetic.
But who could know that in such a beautiful place, most people now have to work hard to make ends meet?
"Sure enough, everything cannot be scrutinized." Chen Dongyue smiled helplessly.
Because few people come to the top of the mountain, the vegetation here is very prosperous. Chen Dongyue let Dezhu go to graze, while she chose two big trees of suitable thickness. With a few clicks of the ax, the trees fell down.
While waiting for Dezhu to eat grass, Chen Dongyue tidied up all the chopped trees.
When Dezhu had almost finished eating, she tied the prepared wood behind Dezhu, then mounted the bull and walked down the mountain.
When he injured his knee while going down the mountain, Dezhu ate Chen Dongyue's apple, so it was appropriate for him to carry her on his back.
Arriving at the bottom of the mountain, Chen Dongyue first loaded the wood onto the oxcart, then asked Dezhu to watch the cart while she cut a lot of thin wood at the foot of the mountain to take back as firewood.
After loading a cart full of firewood, she led Dezhu back home.
Such a trip took Chen Dongyue almost two hours.
So when she came home, Song Yang and the others had already gone home.
Seeing Chen Dongyue coming back with an ox cart, Song Yun went up to him first, "Sister-in-law, you chopped such a big cart of firewood by yourself?"
"No," Chen Dongyue said seriously: "Song Dezhu also took an ax and chopped it with me."
Song Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Sister-in-law, please stop teasing me."
"Give me the cow, you eat first." Song Yang also ran over and took the iron chain from Chen Dongyue's hand.
Chen Dongyue was not polite to him and directly handed him the iron chain, and then asked, "Liu Zi came to help just now, can you give him food?"
"Here he is," Song Hao Po came out of the kitchen carrying the rice, "I wanted to leave him at home to eat, but he just waved his hand, so I filled a bowl for him to take home.
Dongyue, wash your hands quickly. The rice is still warm on the pot. Come and eat it. "
Chen Dongyue nodded, "Anyway, just don't miss him. I see that this man works quite neatly. If you are too busy with farm work in the future, you might as well ask him for help."
After saying that, she asked Song Yun for some water, and then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she waved to Xiaomi who was sorting vegetables on the verandah, "Mi, come here!"
"Ah?" Xiaomi raised his head and said, "Why are you calling me?"
"There's something good~~~Do you want some love~~~" Chen Dongyue deliberately dragged her voice out.
As soon as he heard that there was something good, Xiaomi immediately threw away the unknown small cucumber in his hand and walked to Chen Dongyue, "What~"
"Here~" Chen Dongyue took out two apples from her arms and gave one to Xiaomi, and the other to Song Yun who was holding a ladle and pouring water for her to wash her hands. "One for each child."
"What is this?" Song Yun had never eaten an apple in her life and was very curious.
Of course, Xiaomi was no better than her, "Is this a wild fruit from the mountain?"
Chen Dongyue was very surprised, "Apples, haven't you ever eaten them? Isn't this fruit available in the wild mountains?"
She's talking nonsense. Chen Dongyue had never seen an apple tree in her entire life.
"Apples?!" Li Xiucai, who was holding a book in the yard and pretending to endorse it, came closer, "Do you still have apples in your place?!"
"...Yes," Chen Dongyue nodded seemingly calmly, "Have you picked all the fruits?"
"Where is the fruit tree? I want to eat it too!" Li Xiucai could be very straightforward when he wanted something to eat.
Chen Dongyue frowned, tilted her head, and looked at Song Dezhu's back not far away...
"Song Dezhu found the fruit tree. Anyway, it's on the way up the mountain. I can't remember exactly where."
Song Dezhu: Is there still such a thing? ! Why didn’t I know! !
Although Daqing Mountain is not steep, it is quite big, and there are several roads up the mountain, so it is not impossible for Chen Dongyue to say that she does not remember the specific location of the fruit trees.
"You mean, your cow found you four apples?" Li Xiucai squinted, his face full of suspicion.
But can Chen Dongyue care about his suspicion?
Don't care at all.
She said to Li Xiucai: "That's right. Are all the fruits here? There is nothing left to question. You scholars are too suspicious."
"But as far as I know, our Nanzhou Prefecture does not produce these apples. Qizhou Prefecture does have them, but I have never seen them so big and neat..."
Li Xiucai is indeed a well-educated person, and he is really not easy to fool.
But the harder it is to fool him, the more Chen Dongyue wants to fool him, "If an orange grows in Huainan, it will be orange, if it grows in Huaibei, it will become orange.
The apples from Qizhou have grown better in our Nanzhou capital. Perhaps because the climate and soil quality are more suitable, they have grown better. Is there anything you can’t understand about this? "
"...Chen Dongyue, aren't you illiterate?" Li Xiucai was shocked by Chen Dongyue's eloquence.
Chen Dongyue was not afraid, "Just because I can't read doesn't mean I'm deaf!
You have been reciting Yanzi Chunqiu for three days. I have listened to it, but you are still reciting it!
I don't think you're suitable to take part in any imperial examinations. Otherwise, you might as well forget it and find a job as soon as possible. "
"You..." Li Xiucai turned pale when Chen Dongyue said this. He hugged the book in his hand tightly, "You... actually listened to Can you memorize it just by listening?!”
"Otherwise?" Chen Dongyue frowned, "I'm naturally smart and it's hard to give up. What do you want me to do?"
.........There was a sudden silence in the Song family courtyard.
When Song Yang heard that Li Xiucai and Chen Dongyue were coming and going and talking lively, he stopped and stopped walking the cows in the backyard.
It wasn't until Song Dezhu said "moo~" that everyone woke up.
"Dezhu is so amazing~~" Xiaomi held the apple, stood up, came to Song Dezhu's side, and stroked it twice, "How did you find the fruit?"
Song Dezhu: I can’t speak.
.......
After getting the apple, Song Yun politely cut her apple into eight pieces and invited everyone to eat together.
Li Xiucai, who had been questioning Chen Dongyue just now, after eating the apple, said that when Chen Dongyue goes up the mountain to chop firewood next time, he must remember to take Song Dezhu with him and let him pick up as much as possible.
After all, this apple is so delicious! He said he had never eaten such juicy, crisp and sweet apples in his life.
Song Yang even yelled at him, as if he ate it often.
"This fruit is really delicious," Xiaomi also smiled happily. She held her own apple and came to Chen Dongyue, "'ang'... I want to share this apple with Shuihua. May I?"
"Okay," but Chen Dongyue didn't understand, "Then why don't you give him the soil root to eat?"
"If he doesn't chew something, if you feed it to him, he won't taste it. Isn't it a waste?" Xiaomi muttered.
Also.
The food and appearance of this child Tugen is indeed a bit difficult to describe.
Chen Dongyue expressed her support for Xiaomi's idea and told her that in the future she would just decide on her own things.
I don’t know why, but Xiaomi thinks that Chen Dongyue is so ‘arrogant’, but she’s actually not a bad person~~
........
In fact, it stands to reason that it is safest for Chen Dongyue to hide the apples and eat them herself.
The main reason why she made up the lie that Song Dezhu found the fruit was to desensitize the Song family to strange things as soon as possible.
Human beings have seen so many outrageous things that they are no longer surprised.
Chen Dongyue feels that although the current family situation of the Song family is not very good, people's hearts are relatively simple.
So this is a good time to start desensitizing them to outrageous things.
According to her idea, in the future Song Dezhu will not only pick up apples, but also pomegranates, grapes, and most of the fruits brought by Teacher Xiao You.
If you get the pillar, you will be a fruit cow from now on.
This is the "niu" design established by Chen Dongyue for Song Dezhu.
She believed that with her tireless brainwashing, Song Dezhu's "unprecedented" design would be established soon.
If it doesn't stand up, it must be because she's not working hard enough.
