Chapter 210: Meeting
The Zhuangzi that Lin Yujuan bought is called Xiaoyangzhuang, and it can be seen from the name that most of the people who live here are surnamed Yang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoMore than 300 acres of land is also a big piece of land, every morning after breakfast, as long as it doesn't rain, Lin Yujuan will go to the field to take a turn.
She silently remembered which piece of land was rented to which family, and who was diligent and took good care of the crops in the field. Not to mention, Lin Yujuan's half-hour inspection every day made many tenants put away their contempt.
Although Lin Yujuan is not very proficient in farming, she has also been in the countryside for so many years after all, and there will be superiority if there is comparison. Not to mention, if the people are diligent, there are fewer weeds in the rice fields than in the other people's homes.
Lin Yujuan's five paddy fields, after the seedlings grew a foot high, she asked people to collect a lot of crucian carp and carp fry and release them into the rice fields. The inlets and outlets were blocked with thin reed curtains, and the fish of the province ran away.
The pavement between the fields, in the wider places, she had mulberry trees, pear trees, peach trees, etc., and some lotus flowers planted on the banks of the river. These crops can be both ornamental and have some economic income, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
There were weeds growing everywhere on both sides of the road, and even she didn't want to let go of this, so she bought a cow and took a dozen lambs out. The cattle are taken care of by the long-term workers of the family, and Lin Yujuan, who has more than a dozen lambs, also hired children from every family in the Zhuangzi to herd the sheep. The reward is to give his family a fat sheep at the end of the year.
When it comes to the autumn harvest, Lin Yujuan's fifty acres of land will be more or less more than that of others, more than thirty or fifty catties, and less than ten catties. In addition, there are dozens of more fish per acre than the adjacent fields. The two things add up to fifty acres of land, and you will earn ten taels of silver more.
It's a pity that I didn't catch a few more pigs this year, and I need a lot of organic fertilizer in the farmland.
This Zhuangzi has a good annual income of only a few hundred taels of silver, but this is a stable income after all. Some of her small measures are quite effective, which makes her feel a sense of accomplishment.
Sister Lobby's Liangpi business is good, and she has earned dozens of taels of silver in the past five months. The couple's confidence was boosted and they decided to rent a small store and continue to work. In winter, you can sell some hot soups, such as mutton soup, which is very popular. Especially here is close to Dongguan Wharf, there are many merchants, and it is comfortable to drink a bowl when the weather is cold. In addition to the rent every month, there are still three or five taels of silver left, which makes the couple very happy.
In the past six months, Lin Yujuan has lived by herself except for one time when she went back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sometimes I also invite my master Tian Yuhuan to Zhuangzi to play for a few days, and several women have a lot of fun.
In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed, and Lin Yujuan's Zhuangzi has changed a lot. The peach and pear trees have begun to bear fruit, and the mulberry trees have also grown. There are flowers in spring, fruits to eat in summer, and picking mulberry and raising silkworms is really a pastoral scene.
Sister-in-law Li fell in love with Feng Lin as her son-in-law, but she has not married for the time being, while Xiaomei and Wang Feijie were married a year ago, and now they are both pregnant for a few months.
The most surprising thing is that Sister Lobby, after coming to Yangzhou, she was pregnant for only a year, and she gave birth to a boy all of a sudden, but she and her husband were so happy.
In Lin Yujuan's mind, maybe it was because the body that had been conditioned by taking medicine in the early stage was almost the same, or maybe it was because the couple were not so depressed in a different environment before they could have children. The boy who grew up in Lin Yusuo's family was also more than a year old, and now he was pregnant with another one in his belly. However, Luo Hongmei has not heard from her in the past few years.
This is also imaginary with future generations, is it married when you are old? Have you given birth to a baby? Do you have a second child? In short, it's endless. And Lin Yujuan still doesn't have any idea of getting married, and in a worry-free life, it is not so important for her whether to marry or not.
In the past three years, Lin Yujuan has also gone back every New Year's holiday, and the Qi family still does not give up and tried several times but has not received a good face, so he is so angry that he will not ask anymore.
In early summer, the weather is not too hot, and the mulberries on the mulberry trees are ripe. Mulberry trees are planted on the banks of the river every few distances, and the mulberries will fall to the ground when they are ripe and no one picks them, attracting a group of large and small fish to grab food.
Lin Yujuan was very surprised to see it, she never knew that the fish in the water still ate mulberries, so she asked someone to pick them and feed her the fish.
Lin Yujuan threw one, and the fish in the water grabbed one, which made her have a whim: to fish with mulberries.
Just do it, Lin Yujuan immediately went home and asked someone to prepare a fishing rod for her. She herself changed into simple clothes, braided her hair, and wore a hat on her head. Xiaomei didn't dissuade her when she saw that she was really dressed up to go fishing, and it was rare for the lady to come up with a new trick to make her happy.
The master and servant took the bucket, brought the bench, and carried the fishing rod to the tree before them. He picked a handful of mulberries, sat down in the shade of a tree, hung a fruit on the hook and put it in the water. At the same time, he threw a few mulberries into the water, and the fish in the water swam over with their tails when they saw that there was food.
Seeing that a chopstick-long crucian carp swallowed the mulberry in one bite, Lin Yujuan hurriedly lifted the fishing rod to the surface, and Xiaomei helped remove the fish and put it in the bucket.
The fish in the water were so startled by the sudden change that they scattered and swam away.
"Lady, you're so good, you've caught a fish all at once." Xiaomei said happily.
"Hehe, what am I so good at, it's that they are used to eating this fruit every day, and they are defenseless." Lin Yujuan explained.
"That lady, you can think of using this method, it's also powerful!"
Lin Yujuan smiled and was no longer modest, and picked two more handfuls of fruits and threw them into the water. The fish that had just been scared away was attracted by the mulberry fruit again.
Lin Yujuan saw that the time was almost up, and put the fishing rod into the water again, but after a while, another fish was hooked.
This is simply too easy, Lin Yujuan was having such a good time, and suddenly heard someone in the distance saying: "Brother Jiang, the boat will go a little further to my house." You see that the lotus flowers over there are all budding, and it is not too late for you to stay at my house for a few more days and return after enjoying the lotus. ”
Lin Yujuan followed the prestige, and it happened that someone on the boat on the river just came out of the cabin, and the two happened to look at each other.
"Jiang Mingde?" How did he get here? Lin Yujuan didn't expect the two to meet so suddenly.
I was a little flustered for a while, and I was at a loss, and then I despised myself again.
Jiang Mingde on the boat was obviously taken aback. He has been traveling abroad for three or four years, and he just wants to love the mountains and rivers and forget all this. When he thought he had forgotten Lin Yujuan to return to his hometown, he met her here again. (To be continued.) )
