After living in the village for more than 20 days, there were two rains in total, and the rainfall was very small, and many experienced old farmers were worried that the drought would come again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fortunately, this year's Xiaowan Village planted a large area of sweet sorghum, which is relatively drought tolerant, and the villagers only need to spend half the physical strength of last year to take care of the wheat in the paddy fields.

There is a lot of land in Mojiazhuang, most of the dry land is planted with sorghum, a small part is planted with corn, half of the paddy field is planted with wheat and half is planted with rice, Shubai asked Uncle Fu to order a waterwheel to be installed on the Jinshui River in advance, and the waterwheel in the river is put in the field, which is much easier than people carrying it on their shoulders.

The waterwheel is good, the people in the village have pooled some money and sent it to the Mo family, and they want to rent the Mo family's water wheel for irrigation.

The waterwheel cost the Mo family thirty taels of silver, and the villagers only made up two taels of silver, and the book did not say less or more, and the money was accepted and agreed to rent out the waterwheel, but he gave the villagers an idea to let them build a canal, so that the water from the waterwheel could be extended in all directions, and the land of the whole village could be irrigated

The fields in the village are originally connected one by one, and there is a ditch connecting the mountains and rivers every other section, and it is very easy to build a canal.

The whole village went out to dig for ten days, and the canal was completed, and then each family went out to see the waterwheel, and the village chief came in shifts, and the waterwheel kept turning for twelve hours a day.

The sorghum in Xiaowan Village has already borne fruit, and it is ready to be harvested, Du Li hurriedly came over to inspect it, set a harvest time with Shubai and Village Chief Li, and left in a hurry, not even leaving a bite of food, I don't know if it is an illusion, Li Niang always feels that this Du Li is hiding from herself, what is this doing, and she didn't recruit him much.

This little depression, as the sorghum harvest was blown away, Xiaowan Village was cut down all the sorghum in three days, and the Du family also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to pull away all the sorghum stalks and sorghum in time, and the payment was weighed on the spot and settled on the spot, and the silver bills and copper coins loaded in baskets were moved home by the villagers. Earn twice as much as growing wheat!

On the fourth day of the fifth month, the village returned to calm, no one has cleaned up the sorghum stubble in the field, everyone is resting at home, Uncle Fu came to collect the seed money, no one relied on the account, he was followed by four young men, looking at it is strong, able to fight, the Mo family is not an orphan who is bullied, the seed money, you have to give, and you have to say something good to Uncle Fu to try to sign the contract for the second half of the year.

Following the Mo family to farm is to make money, so a fool won't sign it.

"After the Dragon Boat Festival, hurry up and prepare the land, remember what I said last time, to plough carefully, to be willing to fertilizer, about the end of the month before the seeds will be sent down to you."

Uncle Fu said this all the way, he was not annoyed, some people couldn't remember that they couldn't grow sorghum well, so they were annoyed to death at that time, and they couldn't let people have the opportunity to rely on the Mo family.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums in the direction of the village, Uncle Fu's body was shocked, and he shouted loudly: "The one who sent the good news is here!" ”

Uncle Fu took the lead and ran home, and the four little guys easily followed behind, and after practicing kung fu with the young lady for so long, he finally showed results, running all the way from the village to his home, without breathing.

Before stepping into the courtyard door, Uncle Fu glanced back, jumped to his feet in anger, and shouted, "Why did you all come back with you?" ”

Mo Yu asked, "Where are we going if we don't come back?" ”

"Go to the entrance of the village to inquire about the news! It's up to you, Moyu, you go to the entrance of the village, if the good news is from our house, you have to come back quickly to report it. Uncle Fu sent Mo Yu away and hurried into the courtyard.

Shubai stood at the door of the study with a book in his hand, "Uncle Fu, what's the noise outside?" ”

Uncle Fu saluted and said with a smile: "Master, the villain collected the seed money at Li Changhe's house, and heard the sound of gongs and drums at the entrance of the village, and the villain dared to guess that the good news came, so he rushed back to report to his wife, let's prepare early." ”

Shubai's eyelids jumped, and he inhaled, "Don't worry, maybe it's good news from other families, well, He Liansheng should have done well in the exam, it may be him." ”

At this time, Lin Cuiping and Li Niang also came out of the house, and when they heard the good news, who could still sit still.

Lin Cuiping said: "Whether it is our family or not, we should prepare or prepare first, Ming Niangzi opened the warehouse and carried out the copper coins, Liu Shun sorted out the firecrackers, Fang Niangzi Chi Niangzi prepared the water to boil the tea and snacks, Aunt Fu, come with me, let's see what other dishes can be served in the cellar." ”

"Lady, it's not too late to prepare when the good news comes." Shubai couldn't cry or laugh, but he was also very moved in his heart, how capable the lady is, and a few words will be properly arranged.

"Brother, are you happy and stupid, wait for the good news to come, and then prepare, can you be ready?" Li Niang smiled and pushed her brother into the main room, "You, sit down and drink tea first, calm down, it's ours that he can't run away, and he will come sooner or later." ”

The slaves all received their work, and they were preparing to welcome the good news in an orderly manner, Lin Cuiping arranged everything properly, and also went back to the hall to accompany Xianggong, Li Niang and the three boys couldn't sit still, scurrying around from time to time, and shouted loudly: "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

Mo Yu hurriedly ran back and said: "Master, madam, the good news just now went to He's house, and He Liansheng He won the ninety-second place." ”

"The ranking is a bit low, but at the age of continuous promotion, it is also very good." Shubai sincerely admired, He Liansheng worshiped his father Mo Juren as a teacher, and he also came to the Mo family to borrow a lot of books to read before the exam, so He Lian was promoted to the middle school, that is also the glory of the Mo family, this is not wrong.

At this time, Ziyang was also reporting to his father and his father, and the good news was He Liansheng's, not his father's.

Mo Laoxiu was a little disappointed, but still comforted his second son, "This is the ninety-second place, maybe your ranking is still ahead." ”

Mo Wenrui nodded, but he knew very well in his heart that he had no hope of being admitted, and he could just think about it and get by.

The little guys kept sending the news back to the Mo family.

"He Juren was crazy with joy, he carried half a basket of copper coins out and sprinkled them desperately, and everyone in the village was picking up money."

"The He family gave the good news a red envelope, not much big, that Yong brother said that he leaked his mouth, saying that he had wrapped two taels of silver, and the one who reported the good news crossed the bridge and scolded it, saying that this trip was a loss, and they chartered a car to come over and spent 500 Wen."

Li Niang laughed, "Aunt He should have wrapped the half basket of copper coins, it's more than two taels of silver, can people not be angry?" ”

Shubai put down the tea bowl heavily, "Are you too idle, go back and copy the female analects for me ten times." ”

The disaster of innocence, the disaster of the tongue, Li Niang's stern eyes at her brother, sighed and went back to the house to copy the book. (To be continued.) )
