Zhang Dachuan worked hard until midnight last night. He was very tired at this time and wanted to sleep a little longer. But seeing Jiang Wantong's serious face, he had to cheer up and follow her to Taoyuan.
Arriving at the peach garden halfway up the mountain, Jiang Wantong looked at the lush and lush peach trees in the garden, as well as the red peaches like small lanterns among the branches and leaves. She was so surprised that she couldn't believe her eyes.
She turned around and asked Zhang Dachuan stupidly:
"This... Okawa, how did you do it?"
Zhang Dachuan picked a peach with a smile and handed it to Jiang Wantong:
"Sister-in-law, don't be so surprised. Just try it and see."
Jiang Wantong obediently took a bite, and the crisp and sweet taste came to her, and her beautiful eyes immediately widened.
This was so delicious. It was definitely the best peach she had ever tasted.
She resisted the urge to swallow the peach in one bite, chewed it slowly and tasted the excellent taste and sweetness of the best peach, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Now I believe what you said. It's perfectly fine to sell such a good peach for forty-one pounds!"
After being praised by his sister-in-law, Zhang Dachuan put his hands on his hips and smiled proudly.
But Jiang Wantong held his hand seriously and warned seriously:
"Dachuan, you must keep this matter a secret, and don't make it public in the village. If the village chief Ma Hongdou finds out, he will definitely have other ideas!"
When he mentioned Ma Hongdou, Zhang Dachuan couldn't help but feel itchy with hatred.
As the village chief of Xiushan Village, Ma Hongdou not only has no sense of responsibility as a village chief, but also relies on his position as village chief to constantly deceive and bully other villagers.
Originally, the orchard of Zhang Dachuan's family was supposed to be the one with the best terrain in the village not far from the doorstep of his home.
There is not only an orchard, but also a small fish pond.
It was run hard when Grandma Zhang Dachuan was here.
But since Grandma Zhang Dachuan passed away, Ma Hongdou bullied Zhang Dachuan for being stupid, so he took the initiative and handed over the orchard to Zhang Xutao to take care of.
Zhang Xutao, who was fond of gambling, sold the orchard to Ma Hongdou at a low price not long after he got it.
As a result, in the end, the orchard that was supposed to belong to Zhang Dachuan's family fell into the hands of Ma Hongdou, and what Zhang Dachuan got was the peach tree land that could not be more remote than the village chief Ma Hongdou's family.
To say that there was nothing going on between the two of them, Zhang Dachuan would not believe it even to death.
Fortunately, he and his sister-in-law are diligent and can barely make a living on this peach tree land.
"I must take that orchard back with my own hands!" Zhang Dachuan thought to himself as he looked in the direction of Xiushan Village.
Looking back, Zhang Dachuan felt Jiang Wantong's worried eyes, smiled and nodded:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not stupid now, I know the seriousness of the matter."
Jiang Wantong breathed a sigh of relief:
"Well, Ma Hong has a strong fighting spirit. He has been the village chief of Xiushan Village for decades. We can't defeat him. We just need to keep silent and make a fortune."
"When we make money in the future, we will move out of this village, go to the county to buy a new house of our own, live our own lives, and say goodbye to this place completely..."
"When the time comes, I will give you children..."
As Jiang Wantong spoke, her voice became quieter at the end, so that Zhang Dachuan did not hear it.
…
Although the spiritual liquid can nourish the peach tree and allow it to produce the most delicious and sweet peaches, as a crop, some work must be done.
For example, the weeds in the peach garden cannot be removed by spiritual liquid, and must be cleaned manually.
Throughout the morning, the two of them were busy weeding in the peach orchard.
Zhang Dachuan has always been the main force in this kind of strenuous work. Due to his health, Jiang Wantong only finished half of the work and was so tired that he broke into a sweat.
Zhang Dachuan saw this and became a little worried:
"Sister-in-law, you can go back and rest, as long as I'm here."
In the past, Jiang Wantong would never have worried about leaving Zhang Dachuan alone, but now that Zhang Dachuan has returned to normal, Jiang Wantong has nothing to worry about.
She nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll go back and cook for you. You can work for a while and then come back for dinner, you know."
Zhang Dachuan said "hmm" and danced the hoe deftly in his hand.
Jiang Wantong smiled with relief, rubbed her sore waist, and slowly went down the mountain.
As soon as Jiang Wantong left, Zhang Dachuan immediately threw away his hoe and released the spiritual fluid in his body again to nourish every peach tree.
While he was busy, Zhang Dachuan suddenly moved his ears and heard a rustling sound coming from the grass not far away.
Just as he was about to yell, he saw a familiar figure emerging from the grass.
It was an old dog with gray and black hair, pointed ears, and lively and honest eyes.
Zhang Dachuan suddenly became happy and said: "Xiaotian!"
This is a dog that my grandma adopted in her early years. It is a mix of a husky and a native dog.
When the old dog saw Zhang Dachuan, he barked innocently twice and wagged his tail to please him.
Zhang Dachuan touched Xiaotian's head affectionately:
"Xiaotian, are you happy that I'm back to normal? Don't worry, grandma is gone. I will take good care of you in the future!"
"Oh God, this peach orchard is now our family's cornucopia. You have to help us take good care of it and don't let others get close, you know? Especially the village chief Ma Hongdou and his family must not let them notice the difference in the orchard. "
Xiaotian's ears twitched and he immediately responded with two "Woo-Woo" sounds, which was very smart.
With Xiaotian's protection, Zhang Dachuan was able to release the spiritual liquid more unscrupulously.
Unlike the power of evolution, the spiritual liquid in the Chaos Jade Plate will be replenished automatically, but it will require a long period of sleep to replenish it afterwards.
After Zhang Dachuan used it once last night, the spiritual liquid was automatically replenished when he woke up today, so he was not worried at all that the spiritual liquid would run out.
While he was busy, Xiao Tian, who was guarding the ground, suddenly let out a low roar, and then started barking wildly.
Zhang Dachuan hurriedly put away the spiritual liquid, came to Xiaotian's side alertly, and said comfortingly:
"Xiaotian, what's going on? What did you find?"
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
Xiaotian was wagging his tail, but his head was facing the direction of his home at the foot of the mountain, his body was low, and he was roaring crazily.
Zhang Dachuan frowned and immediately had a bad feeling:
"Xiao Tian, did something happen to my sister-in-law?"
"Woof!" Xiaotian yelled.
Zhang Dachuan looked in the direction and saw several figures appearing at the door of his house in the distance.
One of the fat men looked very familiar. He was Ma Tengyuan, the son of the village chief Ma Hongdou.
Zhang Dachuan's expression changed, and without hesitation, he turned around, took the hoe and put it on his shoulder. After saying hello to Xiao Tian, he ran down the mountain with long strides.
"Damn it, I was just looking for your family, but you came to my door!"
Zhang Dachuan cursed in a low voice and quickened his pace to run home.
