Chapter 479: Visiting
Qingyun hasn't seen her grandparents for more than two years, but when she saw her grandparents at first glance, she didn't feel alienated like other children, but was very close. As soon as the car stopped, he jumped over, grabbed the window and kicked his feet, like a small cannonball, and rushed into the car with his head turned inside and out. The old man hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch the little girl, "Ouch! My eldest granddaughter, slow down. What if you hit your head and become a fool! ”
Qingyun, who originally planned to be coquettish with her grandfather, immediately stretched out her hands to her grandmother when she heard her grandfather say that she was going to be a fool: "Grandma hug!" Grandpa is too bad, say I'm a fool, don't grandpa! ”
The eldest aunt laughed and grabbed her granddaughter's armpits with both hands, dragged her along her grandfather's legs all the way to her own legs, and then held her granddaughter's shoulders to let her sit on her lap, and kissed her granddaughter's little face fiercely: "Grandma's baby granddaughter!" Do you miss grandma? ”
"Think! The kid just wants to go to grandma's house, but his father and mother don't send the kid there! ”
"Ouch! Oh my precious granddaughter! You're a girl, you can't say you're a brat. ”
Xiao Qingyun tilted her head and asked her grandmother, "What are you talking about?" Grandma said that if only I were a boy, then I would be a boy! ”
Wu Tong stood outside the car window, listening to her daughter dare to say anything, but she was so anxious that she was sweating. What if my parents-in-law misunderstand my mother-in-law?
She was afraid that her daughter would be ignorant and would say something she shouldn't say, so she hurriedly beckoned her father-in-law and mother-in-law to get out of the car: "Daddy! Get out of the car and get home! I've been sitting in the car for so long, and I'm tired of it. How can you stand holding her like a scale?! ”
The uncle opened the door first and got out of the car, and the aunt planned to get out of the car with her granddaughter. Result: "Ouch! My mother, why is this girl so heavy, I really can't hold it. Old man! Come! Help me pick up my eldest granddaughter! ”
Daman was directing people to move things, and when he heard her mother's voice, he shouted at this side: "Qingyun! Get out of the car yourself. ”
"Oh!" With a crisp response, he obediently slid off his grandmother and got out of the car by himself. The eldest aunt followed behind and also bent down to get out of the car.
The eldest aunt saw Wu Tong holding her belly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that several of you concubines were pregnant one after another." Xiaohu's daughter-in-law has just given birth, and Xiaolong's daughter-in-law should also give birth. When Xiaolong's daughter-in-law is born, it will be time for you to give birth. I can't say that Dahong's daughter-in-law will send a message in two days that they are also pregnant. ”
Wu Tong has been in a good mood since she was pregnant with her second child. Originally, after Qingyun was born, there was no movement for several years. She gave up a little. Although the old doctor said it at the beginning. She will have a long pregnancy from another fetus, but what she is afraid of is that this time will grow to decades, then she may only have this one child in her life. Unexpectedly, after hearing the good news of Xiaohu's daughter-in-law and Xiaolong's daughter-in-law, he was still in a period of continuous gloom and sadness, and he came to himself to get the good news. Her joy is not something that ordinary people can experience, so she didn't tell her mother-in-law about her joy when she was pregnant. only smiled and said: "I don't know about the other brothers and sisters, Anzi's daughter-in-law is only afraid that she will have to wait for two years." She is now being tormented by three little guys and going crazy every day, and said during the New Year. I'm going to send the boss back to his hometown! ”
Uncle Niang: "Poof! Laughing, "You guys! Don't know what you're thinking? If you want to conceive a child, you can conceive it, and if you don't want to conceive, you can't conceive it!? ”
Wu Tong stared at her mother-in-law with wide eyes. "Mother! You don't know? ”
The eldest aunt looked at her daughter-in-law strangely and asked, "What do you know?" ”
"Little Tiger daughter-in-law! She hasn't been pregnant for so many years, so she just used contraception! ”
"Ahh Is this really there!? I thought she was like her mother! ”
Wu Tong shook his head, "I thought that the second brother and sister were physically wrong, and when the Chinese New Year was the year before last, I persuaded her to go to the old doctor in Fucheng to take a look." As a result, she told me that she was thinking about raising Wen Chaowen Yue first, and then giving birth to another one. lest there be too many children and take care of one at the expense of the other. Who knows, she really wants to have it! ”
The eldest aunt suddenly felt that her knowledge was too little, and there was such a thing as contraception. She shook her head speechlessly, and when she shook her head, she saw Dahua standing beside her waiting for her to go in together, so she pulled Dahua and said to Wu Tong: "Eldest daughter-in-law, this is Qingzhu's stepsister." Her father is not kind-hearted, and if he stays at home any longer, he is afraid that his life will be lost. She came to our house, and we discussed sending her farther away, so that her father would find her and force her to go back. If Dahua is willing to settle here, please ask Daman to help her find a boy with a good temperament and can love her daughter-in-law. Luckily? ”
Wu Tong looked at the somewhat timid girl, and had already guessed in his heart that this might be the stepdaughter of Qingzhu's mother, so he smiled and nodded: "Mother!" Do you need to explain this matter?! Just give me a command. As long as she is willing to be here, I will help her arrange it. ”
Over there, Daman had already taken someone to finish moving everything, and everyone was beckoned into the house. "Let's go inside! What are you doing outside? Daddy, Mom! Haven't you been tired after sitting in the car for so long? ”
Uncle replied: "It's just that I have been sitting for too long, and my waist and legs are stiff, so I just stand and relax!" ”
When I entered the hall, the maid of the house had prepared all the tea and pastries and placed them on the table. Daman accompanied everyone to drink tea and chat, and Wu Tong instructed the kitchen to hurry up and cook, so that the guests could eat early and rest early.
The next day, the uncle had breakfast and was going to go to the field. Such a vast realm belonged to their royal family, and there was no way for him not to be excited. The eldest aunt does not have as much energy as the uncle, and most of the time for nearly a month has been sitting in the small space of the car, which is really uncomfortable. Now she just wants to rest for three or five days without moving, so when Daman takes his father out for a walk, his mother stays at home with her beloved eldest granddaughter to help beat her legs and waists.
Daman took his father to walk in the fields, pointing here and there, and said: "From our town as the center, there are almost 200,000 acres of land, which is a crop land dedicated to growing crops. Dahong, Xiangzi, Anzi, Laizi, Xiaolong and myself, each have 20,000 acres, and the remaining 80,000 acres are all Xiaohu's.
For good management. Many of them were exchanged or bought from locals. I have divided these lands into two hundred acres, and ten people are in groups, and each group is in charge of one land. The reward system is the same as that in my hometown of Liujialing. So far, it's been good anyway. My father-in-law always told me that our hired servants were more diligent in their work than the servants and tenants of the family. Hehe! I also see it this way, and now I know that my younger siblings are really good at managing this area. ”
"Hey! At that time, you couldn't go into the old lady's house to discuss things, and you didn't know that Xiaohu's daughter-in-law had made such a proposition in Liujialing, but in fact, many people in our family were against it. Or the old lady said that the land was originally earned by Xiaohu's daughter-in-law, and she could do whatever she wanted. If anyone is not satisfied, they can not share there. No one spoke, and Xiaohu's daughter-in-law did it. We didn't expect that Xiaohu's daughter-in-law would be so good. "Speaking of which. Uncle is sincerely grateful to this niece and daughter-in-law, without her, there would be no Wang family like they are now.
While talking, the uncle watched the big guys in the field working in full swing, and occasionally there were people who said meat jokes loudly to amuse, which made it easy for people to feel their relaxed and happy working state. He was a farmer. It was unusually kind to see all this. The tiredness in the body that had not been rested disappeared all at once.
He really wanted to come forward and work with everyone, but he saw the thing for fertilizing that his son pointed out to him yesterday from a distance, and asked his son, "Is there fertilizer for the crops over there?" ”
Daman followed his father's line of sight and saw that it was the realm of the twenty-third group, and nodded: "Yes!" I'll take you over to see how to fertilize! ”
All the boundaries are connected, and there is no need to go around when you walk over, and you will soon come to the front. The uncle saw a man holding a large pillar with the end of the claw in the ground. At the other end was a large wooden barrel pulled by an old cow. There was another person standing next to the barrel, using his feet to step up and down on the movable pedal under the barrel. The diluted manure in the barrel is pumped out under pressure and sprayed into the ground.
Uncle took a closer look and understood: "This is similar to the water press made by Xiaohu's family to press the water in the river to the shore!" ”
"Dad is right, my hired worker just used the water press brought from his hometown, and then dug the scoop according to the gourd to make this special fertilizer sprayer, and there is also a special sprinkler for irrigation. It is indeed very easy to use, and it saves us a lot of labor! ”
Uncle shook his head and said: "This thing is also used by you, my family has too little dry land, I can't make this with great fanfare, otherwise I really want to make one." ”
"Daddy! My family doesn't have much dry land, so doesn't Liujialing have hundreds of acres? You go back and talk to Xiaohu, he will definitely make a few. And the land where their family is in the west is also definitely wanted. Dad, take a good look at it, and help Xiaohu make it when you go back. If it weren't for the fact that these were made of bamboo, they would all fall apart from here to home, and I would have sent someone back to send one back. ”
"Hey! Okay, I'll just see how you make this sprinkler, and let Xiaohu do the rest with a few gentlemen in town who have come back from overseas. ”
"Daddy! It's even simpler, you just have to look at it and you'll understand. ”
Although the uncle is now making a special trip to do chess, he has done carpentry work before, and he only needs to look at this thing a few times to know how to do it. It's really simple! After that, I went to another place to look at the sprinkler, and after seeing it, the uncle felt that he was almost ready to do it.
After going back to eat at noon, Daman took his father on a horse and went to visit the grazing area.
He made a detour to the canyon fort, "Dad! What do you think of this fortress? ”
Uncle watched as this building, which was stronger than the walls of the capital, stood between two mountain peaks, connecting the two mountains that were next to each other. Although it is far lower than the two peaks, it is not small at all, and perhaps it is even more magnificent when it is juxtaposed with the mountain. The wall of the fortress stretched out on both sides and built a very low stone wall, and the uncle pointed to the wall and asked, "This wall is not high, can it stop people?" ”
Daman replied with a smile: "This wall is to block the horses of our horse farm from running to the mountains, not to block people." All you need to do is have this fort between the two mountains, and the foot of the hill on the other side of the fort is full of straight cliffs. Even if I don't have the tools, I can't easily go up the mountain, and others won't be able to come up the mountain so easily. ”
"Oh! That's good! You've spent a lot of money on this fortress, haven't you? ”
Daman leaned close to his father's ear and whispered: "If the government is built, it will cost at least 200,000 taels of silver." But we didn't use that much, the cement was home-made, the stone was mined nearby, that is, the wages and food, and later when we were going to build a lookout, we bought some green bricks, which cost some silver. A total of 30,000 taels did not arrive. However, I claimed to have used more than 90,000 taels of silver, nearly 100,000 taels of silver. Father! Don't be honest! ”
"Oops! I don't know, what can I say and what I can't say! Does Xiaohu know about this? ”
"Of course I know, it was he who asked me to say more to the outside world, and I couldn't say it in a down-to-earth way."
"Hey! It's good that Xiaohu knows! (To be continued.) )
