Chapter 190: The Prodigal Son Turns Back

The imperial court's announcement did not come down so quickly, but from this incident, Shumin saw the importance of food, and in the following days, she collected a lot of books on crop cultivation, especially rice cultivation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In this era, most of the so-called planting is passed down by the older generation, taught by word and deed, handed down, and the books that systematically explain the growth of crops are very rare.

The soap workshop is almost finished, and during this time, Baili Village has purchased mountain wasteland and saponaria vine trees on a large scale, preparing to plant saponaria trees on a large scale.

The environmental requirements of the saponaria tree are not high, and they can be planted in sandy land, wasteland, mountain streams, and rivers, so Zhang Lizheng did not hide his secrets, and notified the villages in the east and west to plant them together early in the morning.

Although people know that this thing has a cleaning effect, but it is not clear why Baili Village needs so many honey locusts, but fortunately, Zhang Lizheng has repeatedly promised that everyone can follow the planting with peace of mind, anyway, it is also an income, and no one will be afraid to make too much.

Shumin's pressurized water mercury has also been prepared. In front of the tofu workshop as early as two days ago to open a basin-sized well, and so on to get the pressurized mercury back, in front of Lao Li Tou and others, Shumin commanded the villagers to install the pressurized mercury, at first because of the sealing reasons, did not succeed, fortunately Shumin prepared a rubber mat in advance, only to perfectly solve the water problem of the tofu workshop.

When Zhengming pressed the handle on the side of the mercury pressurized water, three times and twice, the water flowed out along the mouth on the other side of the mercury pressurized water.

"Quick, bring the bucket and come on. Don't waste it. The aunt shouted excitedly, and immediately someone handed the bucket over.

"We can build a sink here, and make a small drainage ditch next to the pool, so that it is easier to wash things." Zhengxing's daughter-in-law said happily, and immediately won a lot of approvals.

"This thing is so convenient, Hui'er Niang, I also have to press one in the yard, so that I don't have to go to the creek to fetch water." Uncle Niang said excitedly.

"Mm-hmm, we have to install it in our house too." Zhengxing's daughter-in-law was not far behind, and pulled Shumin and said.

"Okay, if you want it, I'll register it there, and I'll slowly press it for you in the future." Shumin only ordered four this time, except for the tofu workshop and the soap workshop, the remaining two were originally for Minyuan and his uncle's family, but Zhengxing's daughter-in-law quarreled so much that Minyuan's wine was deprived by her.

Fortunately, Lao Li Tou made one more, and Minyuan was fortunate to be one of the first families in Baili Village to install pressurized water mercury.

On this day, a young man dressed in blue muslin, with neat hair and a good countenance, came to the village, with a straight back and a smile on his face, and greeted everyone warmly.

"Aunt Niu, herding cattle!"

"Uncle Zhang, have you eaten?"

"Chubby, are you out of school?"

......

Regardless of men, women and children, he greeted everyone with a smile, and the men, women and children in the village looked at him and nodded with a smile, but they wondered in their hearts: Who is this person? It looks familiar, why can't I remember it?

Housheng greeted people all the way, passed by the door of Lizheng's house, hesitated, stepped in, and saw that the uncle was carrying a basket of clothes and preparing to go out to wash clothes.

"You...... Who to look for? When the uncle saw the offspring, she smiled and asked, thinking in her heart whose relatives this is?

"Uncle? I'm looking for Uncle Lizheng, is he at home? The latter was very polite, but it was difficult to hide the nervousness in his heart.

"Are you...... You're Zhang Er Mazi, right? As soon as the aunt heard his voice, she knew who he was, but when she looked at the young man in front of her with a straight back and clear eyes, she was not sure.

Who is Zhang Er Mazi? Adou, the most boneless and unpromising person in the village, hangs all day long, has no shape, and is 108,000 miles away from the image of the person in front of him.

"Uncle, don't call me Zhang Er Mazi in the future, I have a big name, my name is Zhang Zhengjian." The young man said with some excitement.

"Uh....." Uncle Niang was already speechless, and her smile was a little stiff on her face, not because she was embarrassed, but because she didn't react for a while.

"Boss, Zhengjian is back....." When she reacted, she threw the basket and shouted at the back room.

Li Zheng was checking the accounts in the study, and when he heard the voice of the uncle, he didn't react, opened the door of the study, and asked the uncle, "Which one is being built?" "He thinks in his heart that there is no one named Zhengjian in the village?!

"Uncle, it's me. I was too mixed up before, I was wrong, and I will definitely be a good person in the future. When Zhang Zhengjian saw Li Zheng walking out, he knelt down on his legs, kowtowed to him, and said guiltily.

From a hundred meals, although he was not hungry, no one taught him how to behave, except when he did something wrong, the uncle would scold him harshly, and others would only show him a disgusted expression.

So in his heart, although he was quite afraid of this uncle, he only regarded him as an elder relative.

"Good...... Okay, it's good that you know that you're wrong, and your parents should be relieved to know it. "This nephew is the son of his cousin, and he is closer than Zhengyuan Zhengxing, but he has lacked discipline since he was a child, so that he can't make progress all day long, he has been heartbroken, but he can't manage it.

At this time, seeing that he was new and new, and he was no longer the same as before, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but have some tears in his eyes.

"Mother-in-law, go and bring some wine and food, I want to have a drink with my good nephew." Although I don't know what stimulated him, as the saying goes: the prodigal son does not change his money.

"Hey, that's Zhengjian, hurry up and accompany your uncle to the hall to sit for a while, I'll go and heat a few side dishes, and I'll stay at home for dinner today." Uncle Niang also burst into tears, as Li Zheng's wife, like Li Zheng, she only hopes that everyone in the village will be angry, and she is very excited to see that Zheng Jian has been reformed.

Zhengjian originally thought that he would be reprimanded for a sentence or two, and he was ready to be punished, but he knew that the uncle and the aunt not only did not reprimand, but treated him like a real relative, and the remorse in his heart was even stronger, and he kowtowed to Li Zheng again and again to repent, and swore that he would be an upright person in the future and live up to the expectations of the clan.

Zhengjian accompanied Li Zheng to drink some wine in the hall, he didn't drink much, but Li Zheng drank a lot. Regarding how he disappeared for a few days, Li Zheng had to ask a few words, and Zhengjian told him how he gambled money, was beaten out of his old age, met Shumin, and how Yao Su taught him a lesson.

Li Zheng sighed when he heard it, and said a lot of words to educate him, and his voice was stern.

Zhengjian listened cautiously and memorized all his words in his heart. If it was before, he must have felt that Uncle Lizheng was targeting him again, but now his mentality has changed, and when he heard these harsh words, he felt that it was a kind of long-awaited care from his elders to his juniors, and his heart was warm, and he helped Uncle pour wine while admitting his mistakes.

"Alas...... Seeing that you now know that you are wrong and know that you have grown, I am also at ease. Master Yao is a capable person, and he screwed your temperament all of a sudden, to the point of making me embarrassed to be an uncle. After speaking, he laughed at himself.

"Master Yao also talked to me later, and he said that if I don't grow up, he will ask someone to break my hands and feet. I'm afraid of him, can I not be a good person in the future? Although Zhang Zhengjian has changed his sex, his flamboyant temperament can't be changed all of a sudden, and he speaks curtly.

"If you mix it up again, don't say it's Master Yao, even if I have to break your hands and feet!" Sure enough, when Li Zheng heard him say that, he immediately blew his beard and glared again.

"Yes, yes, I won't let you down again." Zheng is establishing a moment to pay no, Li Zheng's face softened again.

"Don't drink it, after eating in a while, you go to your aunt's place and pay twenty taels of silver to Hui'er Niang, your debt belongs to the Zhang family, there is no reason for her to have a woman to fight for you." Li Zheng touched his beard and said to him, "After the year, you will honestly obey the arrangement of the village, and the twenty taels of silver will be slowly deducted from your salary." ”

"Yes, uncle, if you don't mention this, I'll do the same." Zhengjian was originally going to borrow money, but now he heard the uncle himself say it, where would he complain, and he was busy responding.

This meal was naturally very happy, and seeing the changes in Zhengjian, the aunt's family was very happy.

After dinner, Uncle Niang went to the room and took twenty taels to him, and asked him to return it to Shumin, Zhengjian gratefully assured Uncle Niang, and Uncle Niang sent him out with a smile.

"Mother, how can you give him the money directly, as the saying goes, you don't need to be unfaithful a hundred times, what if he gambles again?" Zhengxiu is still not at ease, he always feels that Zhengjian has changed too quickly, and he has not adapted to it all of a sudden.

"Don't worry, I can see that this kid has really changed." Uncle Niang said, "Human eyes don't lie, and no matter how many books you read, you can't compare to me!" ”

At this time, Minyuan had also had dinner, and Shumin was still holding a book on grain cultivation as he had done a few days before, and his brows were tight.

She found that although the Apocalypse is a big country that relies on agriculture, but in fact, the cultivation of grains is still very backward, the article mentions that in the year when the wind and rain are good, an acre of high-quality field can produce up to 800 catties of grain, and in memory, the annual yield of the Zhang family is also between six or seven hundred catties, and their family is one of the most proficient farmers in the village, so there is still a lot of room for improvement in this rice.

But what's the point?

She was a layman and couldn't figure it out, so she combined books with books and began to recall the situation of farming in the countryside in her previous life.

I still remember that when she was still young, she saw her grandmother at her grandmother's house to promote the germination of rice seeds, and after the rice seeds sprouted, they were evenly sprinkled in the field, and then attached plastic film, and when the millet germinated and grew to about a foot, the weather was already warm, and these seedlings were transplanted back into the field. A fist-sized gap is left between each seedling......

But here, in her memory, there seems to be no process of germination and transplantation, is there a problem here? (To be continued.) )
