Chapter 44 -44: A cow only works one month a year? Not as good as horses and cows!

The farm kept developing.

There were fields, greenhouses, and enclosures.

The previously empty cement courtyard walls began to burst with life.

Because of this, more animals started to come this way.

For the animals, the easiest place to get food was where humans lived.

For instance, North American raccoons used to live in the forest, struggling every step of the way. They had poor hunting abilities and no real means of protection, making life very difficult for them.

Later, they began rummaging through human trash cans, and it got out of control; they all started living in human trash cans, and their population grew significantly.

Xu Yang’s farm was five kilometers away from the mountain village, surrounded by vast stretches of open land.

The animals, feeling audacious, dared to venture in.

Little Fox was happily frolicking on the farm’s grassland.

Running around.

Seemingly sensing no danger, their bravery grew.

Xu Yang fed them from time to time.

Originally, Xu Yang had planned to end the livestream after teaching the ducks to swim, but the sudden appearance of the fox extended the livestream’s content.

The audience really enjoyed watching these genuine wild animals.

Much more interesting than the ones in zoos.

These foxes appeared more agile.

Though they looked a bit dirty and disheveled, it actually made them even more adorable.

The three little ones ran everywhere, curious about everything.

Since they were well-fed and had nothing else to do, they began to play.

Xu Yang had fed them quite a bit.

Little Black was also with them, and it seemed that he had already become friends with the little foxes.

The four little ones were hopping and skipping around Xu Yang’s farm at will.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yang commented with a smile,

“Little Black has even made some friends, that’s nice.”

“As long as the foxes don’t eat our chickens, ducks, or geese, they are beneficial because they eat mice and rabbits.”

“Mice and rabbits aren’t good for the farm.”

At this, the audience also chuckled appreciatively.

The three little foxes looked exceedingly cute, small and delicate, running about with an effortless grace, always seeming to smile, appearing very happy.

Everyone’s hearts were melting.

Xu Yang livestreamed the little foxes for a while longer.

Gradually, it was getting late.

Li Shan and Zhang Mei were preparing dinner.

At that moment, Xu Yang’s mother also called him, saying they had made potato stew with green beans and invited him to come eat.

Xu Yang busily said he would eat at the farm and wouldn’t go over.

This season was precisely when green beans were ripe, signalling the time when every household would eat green beans daily.

It was from summer to winter, and even in winter, one could still eat frozen green beans.

So Xu Yang was immune to them, occasionally eating them was okay, but he truly didn’t want to eat them daily.

After hanging up, Xu Yang went to check on the vegetable garden.

The vegetable garden had been cleared out and was planted with crops.

The vegetables grew quickly, ready to eat in just two months.

From now on, he could just pick whatever he needed.

“This is just a small farm, but if it were one of Beidahuang Group’s large farms, you wouldn’t be able to see the end of the fields.”

“At planting time, dozens of oversized tractors would work simultaneously, now that’s a spectacular sight!”

Xu Yang introduced everyone to the local customs and practices.

“What? Our country also does mechanized planting on a large scale?”

“Definitely, that’s how it is for the large farms in the Northeast; huge areas all mechanized!”

“I really want to see that!”

“Old Xu, you should livestream it for us!”

Everyone said one after another.

“That’d have to wait till next spring. Now everything has been planted already, and going there would only allow you to look at paddy fields from afar.”

“Each brigade’s paddy field art is very beautiful and covers a vast area.”

“It’s normal if everyone can’t see it, after all, Beidahuang Group doesn’t really advertise,”

Xu Yang said again.

The netizens know little about agriculture.

Many people learn about farming activities through short video bloggers like ‘Northeast Rain Sister’.

So, everyone is quite interested in some things they haven’t seen before.

“Over here, we still use small tractors, or oxen and mules to till the land.”

“Renting a tractor is quite expensive, tilling a piece of land costs thousands of yuan.”

“Using our own oxen is a bit cheaper, just costing some feed money.”

Xu Yang squatted in the vegetable garden, pulled some weeds, and chatted leisurely.

Upon hearing this, many people recalled the scenes of oxen tilling the land that they had learned about in textbooks.

Everyone felt a bit heartbroken for a moment.

[Old Xu, won’t the oxen get too tired from tilling the land?]

[Yeah, seeing those working oxen and mules, I always feel they are pitiful!]

Xu Yang saw everyone’s comments and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“You might be mistaken, let me put it this way, during the month that they need to till the land, the oxen and mules do get quite tired.”

“But they only work one month a year.”

“The rest of the time, they are well fed and cared for, letting them rest.”

“Oxen and mules are treasures to farmers, besides the essential work, no one wants to wear them out.”

Upon hearing Xu Yang’s explanation, the netizens couldn’t contain themselves.

[What did you say? Oxen only work one month a year?]

[Damn, I always complain about working like an ox or a horse, I’m not even comparable to them!]

[Some are born in Rome, some are born as oxen or horses, but guess what, these oxen and horses only work one month a year!]

[Wuu, Old Xu, you’ve utterly shattered my defenses!]

The live stream was filled with cries of despair.

Ox: Many people say it’s tiring to be an ox or a horse? Isn’t it just one month?

Xu Yang saw everyone’s comments, couldn’t hold back, and chuckled, then quickly returned to normal.

Seeing that it was about time for dinner.

Xu Yang said goodbye to the netizens, then turned off the live stream and prepared to eat.

He put away the drone, went outside to the yard, and called for Little Black.

“Little Black! Time to come home for dinner!”

Soon, he saw Little Black happily running over.

Three little foxes stood not far away, looking over.

As it grew late, they too needed to return to their dens to sleep.

So, after lingering for a few seconds, the little foxes ran towards the mountains.

They stepped on the grass and pushed through the bushes, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Little Black followed Xu Yang back to the farm.

Life was always leisurely.

There was endless farm work, but there was no pressure to perform, and whether to work or not was entirely up to one’s conscience.

So, the mental state was good.

The farm’s dinner was also not bad, mainly because the prices here were very cheap, so Xu Yang bought more meat and vegetables.

The food was comforting.

In the evening, Xu Yang calculated today’s popularity value.

[Today’s live-viewing figures: 12,232 people, average view time: 1.1 hours, popularity value gained: 13,455]

[Current total popularity value: 14,690]

Today’s live stream was very fruitful.

He already had a steady group of dedicated fans, and his live streams had content, so there were quite a few viewers.

“Over ten thousand already, it’s accumulating quite fast.”

“I’ll save it for now, I feel like the rewards from the Advanced Lottery will be better.”

Xu Yang pondered within himself.

After all, the last time he drew an Advanced Reward, it was a potion that enhanced one’s physical health.

Xu Yang looked forward to the upcoming rewards, only hoping to quickly accumulate one hundred thousand popularity value to try the Advanced Lottery.
