Chapter 65: Charcoal in the Snow
After a big battle, Yang Xiuying said to Zhang Qian apologetically, "Qianzi, I'm sorry, looking at the two acres of land that I promised you before, now there is only one acre left." ”
This is indeed a problem, after all, the seeds for spring plowing have been bought, and the amount of cultivation for two acres of land was calculated at that time, and now that half of it is concentrated, half of this kind of seeds will naturally be vacant.
However, Zhang Qian didn't show much unhappiness, but hugged Yang Xiuying and said, "Sister Yang, I don't blame you, it's okay, besides, with our current ability, it will be enough to pack another acre of land when the time comes, don't worry." ”
That being said, Zhang Qian also felt a little difficult in his heart, where to contract this acre of land?
It was already night after leaving Yang Xiuying's house, Zhang Qian was in a hurry to go home, and his walking speed was naturally much faster, and he never thought that he would bump into a person in the middle of the road.
This person is none other than Zhang Si.
Zhang Si also looked a little flustered at this time, Zhang Qian frowned and asked him what was wrong.
He said that his brother was sick and wanted to go to the doctor's house at the clinic in the west of the village and ask someone to come and have a look.
Now Zhang San and Zhang Si are already their own people, they are sick, how can they not care?
So without saying a word, let Zhang Si lead the way.
In fact, Zhang Si also wanted to go to Zhang Qian for help at the beginning, but his brother said that it was so late, Zhang Qian must have fallen asleep, and they couldn't trouble their benefactor because of this little thing.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Si is in a hurry to seek the near and far.
Zhang Qian naturally didn't know all this, but after asking clearly, his heart was funny and warm.
When I arrived at Zhang Sanzhangsi's home, this was like a home, it was simply a shed built with a few broken tiles and some wooden stakes, and even the plastic bags used to block the wind.
Seeing all this, Zhang Qian's heart was quite touched.
Although I have known Zhang Sanzhang and Si for a long time, I rarely interact with each other on weekdays, that is, recently, because I used them, I have come relatively closer, but I never thought that they would live so poorly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qian couldn't help but wonder in his heart, should it be time to turn the house upside down for the two of them, in fact, no matter how bitter he is, he can't be bitter about his own people, and people still call themselves brothers.
Zhang San's illness is actually the most common cold, and it also comes with a little fever, this kind of disease, Zhang Qian doesn't even need to use immortal qi to cure him, but Zhang Si panicked, and he was messed up for a while.
After giving Zhang San a small amount of immortal energy, and then adding him a few more broken quilts, Zhang Qian instructed Zhang Sichi to boil some ginger soup to make Zhang San sweat.
Zhang Si hurriedly thanked him, of course Zhang Qian said that he didn't need it, how could he accept the reason for his subordinates to thank him?
However, Zhang Qian is quite curious, it stands to reason that Zhang San's physique is not weak, although the winter solstice has passed now, but the time for the real cold has not come, how could he suddenly catch a cold and fever?
Zhang Si explained that his brother was fine in the afternoon, so he went to the field to have a look, tired all afternoon, sweaty, and the conditions at home were not good, there was no hot water, so he took a cold shower, and then it was like this.
No wonder.
Hearing this, Zhang Qian also understood, one cold and one hot, it would be strange if he didn't catch a cold, but at the same time, he seemed to have captured some kind of information, and hurriedly grabbed Zhang Si's hand and said, "In the field?
With the conditions of Zhang San's and Zhang Si's family, it is certainly impossible to contract the field, since this is not the case, and now is not the autumn harvest season, where does Zhang San go? Unless, ......
Sure enough, after listening to what Zhang Si said, Zhang Qian was clear.
Zhang Sanzhang's four families do have land, although it is not big, but it is nearly an acre, but this land has been abandoned for many years, it is left by their ancestors, and in the hands of their two brothers, they are still young at that time, so they did not take care of it, plus their location is biased, and the soil is not very fertile, so that for so many years, there is no one who wants to rent, so it is put on hold.
But after all, this is something left by the ancestors, Zhang Si is not sensible, it does not mean that Zhang San is the same, so whenever he thinks of his parents, Zhang San will go to turn over the ground, although it will not have any effect, but it can be regarded as seeing things and thinking about people.
A wasteland?
So what?
As long as Zhang Qian has immortal energy, can't he turn waste into treasure?
Zhang Qian, who was worried about the fields during spring ploughing, was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "In this way, Xiaosi, I have the land of your family." ”
"Really?"
Zhang Si looked at Zhang Qian in disbelief, this is simply a charcoal in the snow, but then he said with some embarrassment, "Brother Qianzi, I won't tell you, our family's land is dead land (a common saying of rural people, which means planting what is withered land. If you take this over, don't you trap you, no, no, if my brother knows about this, he will have to beat me. ”
Zhang Qian smiled and patted Zhang Si's shoulder and said, "Okay, this matter is settled, my brother will go and tell him, by the way, there are two hundred yuan here, you take it first, buy your brother some delicious food to replenish your body in the next few days, if you break your body bones, how can you help me do things in the future?"
Zhang Si wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it, after all, during this time, Zhang Qian took care of his two brothers, and even more attentive than their parents, this is simply the benefactor of their two brothers, how can he be embarrassed to take people's money now?
But Zhang Qian doesn't care about this, now that Zhang San and Zhang Si have helped him solve a big problem, it's too late for him to thank him, how can he care about such two hundred yuan?
Ignoring Zhang Si, he saw that it was almost midnight, and after Zhang Qian said a few more words, he returned home.
The next day, Zhang Qian told Zhang Baiqiang and his wife about Yang Xiuying's family, although they were also very sympathetic to Yang Xiuying's experience, but they had said good things before, but now they suddenly changed their hexagrams, and they must be a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
However, Zhang Qian reassured the second elder, saying that he had found another acre of land, and the family would not lose it.
When Zhang Baiqiang and his wife heard this, they subconsciously asked Zhang Qian where to find the land, after all, it is now close to the end of the year, let alone good land, even if it is a slightly worse land, it has been contracted, where can his son get any land?
Zhang Qian also knew this truth, but he didn't say that it was Zhang Sanzhang's land, he just pushed it and said that he would know when the time came, because he didn't want his parents to nag anymore.
After eating, Zhang Qian first looked at Zhang San, his fever had subsided, but his body was still a little weak, he heard from his younger brother that Zhang Qian was going to contract his family's piece of dead land, and he didn't agree to anything, he didn't want to hurt Zhang Qian.
But Zhang Qian insisted on his opinion, and at the same time said that if they didn't contract this land to him, then they would want to do things by their side in the future.
couldn't resist Zhang Qian, Zhang San could only agree, and then Zhang Qian asked Zhang Si to take him to their field.
Generally speaking, there must be a lot of weeds on the wasteland, but Zhang San often comes here to worry about his parents, so this piece of land really can't be seen as a wasteland from the outside.
As the so-called layman looks at the lively insider's doorway, don't look at Zhang Qian is only twenty years old this year, but the child who grew up in the countryside has been exposed to the knowledge in the field since he was a child, so he squatted down and pinched the soil that was a little whitish, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and Zhang Si on the side was also embarrassed.
