Chapter 102: The Peasant Woman's Courage
At the head of Dujia Village, there is a grass house with a single courtyard, and it is not accurate to say that it is a grass house, and the walls around the house are mixed with weeds. It looks dilapidated, but it's actually very warm!
At this time, a peasant man squatted in the courtyard, smoking a leaf cigarette.
Leaf smoke is to dry the leaves of a tree in the mountains, put them in a tobacco pouch pot, and light them. Take a sip, it is also very relieving, and regardless of autumn and winter, several big tobacco pouches get together, while playing the mountains, while setting off smoke cannons, it is very comfortable, and it is the favorite of farmers in the Zhou Dynasty.
This man's name is Du Tiehua, and he is a brother to Du Tiezhu, and he once had a big fight because of the division of family property back then.
So there are two brothers, one lives in the east end of the village, and the other lives in the west end of the village.
Du Tiezhu because of his father's preference, the family property is more, although Du Tiehua is the boss, but only has ten acres of thin land, people, honest and nesty, and because there is no son, his father and mother are more and more disdainful, if it were not for his daughter-in-law Zheng Cuizhu is spicy, with a few daughters and in-laws and uncle's family to fight this matter in front of the village chief, the other things that live are estimated to not be much.
If the degree of diligence is the same, then how high the starting point is determines how high the end is, although it is not absolute, but it is not much worse.
Du Tiezhu is more flexible, and the two of them are also capable, and in addition, they are getting better and better when they get to the Guogong Mansion.
Du Tiehua has no sons, but there are six daughters, one by one, in the village, behind his back, he is called a desperate household, and his life is becoming more and more difficult.
The eldest and second are all working as maids at Zhang Yuanwai's house in Linshui County. After signing a five-year contract, he was often beaten and scolded there, which can be seen from the bruises on the child's arms.
The harvest of the fields is not good, so he can only rely on Du Tiehua to go to the city to work part-time to survive, and he is an honest bag, and he often can't get a penny back.
Zheng's heart is high, but he is also defeated in front of reality, and as the years go by, people become more and more numb
just wants to pull the children up, and he is worthy of the fate of mother and daughter.
It's just that today Zheng couldn't sit still. said to Du Tiehua, who was silent: "Be in charge." This time the village chief's suggestion sounds good to me, do you see how many grains of rice can we beat in those acres of land? It is better to shovel the eight acres of millet that have no harvest and plant cabbage and radishes. Didn't the village chief say the same? The owner of Taoyuan Villa is in charge of the acquisition. The price is also guaranteed to be kind. ”
Du Tiehua took another puff of leaf cigarettes, looked at the eye circles on the cigarette pouch and pot, and didn't speak for a long time.
Zheng was anxious. stepped forward, snatched the cigarette bag and pot in his hand, and threw it far away in the corner, Du Tiehua was a little anxious, and was about to pick it up, Zheng picked up his ear: "You are honest, I admit it, I admit it, I admit it if I live so poorly, but this time no matter what, you have to listen to me, take a shovel now, bring three and four ya, and go to the field to shovel the millet and plant cabbage and radish on the ground."
Du Tiehua squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, he didn't dare to look at his daughter-in-law, and said in his mouth: "What are you going to do with planting so many vegetables, it's not easy to put in winter, it's not delicious when it's frozen, and it's not hungry, so if the main family doesn't collect it, we won't starve to death in winter?" ”
Still, he voiced his doubts.
"You're stupid, haven't you heard, can cabbage be pickled in any sauerkraut? Also Can turnips be dried into turnips? ”
"But which house doesn't have dried radishes in winter? No one has ever seen that sauerkraut, I don't know anything, if my father and mother know, I should scold you for not living"
It's okay not to mention this stubble, Zheng is also hesitating, as soon as he mentions this stubble, Zheng's anger came up, he went into the house and called out three and four ya, took the farm tools, and pointed at Du Tiehua: "You are a wreck, don't mention to me your father and mother who have eyes on the edge of the sky, you can't borrow a grain of rice when you are hungry, and it is a top three to say cool words, I left with the child, do you love it or not, from now on, I will only treat you as no one at home."
After saying these words, Zheng's eyes, which were a little moist, walked out with his daughter without looking back, and the three and four girls hurriedly followed, the work in the field, the mother asked her to do whatever she wanted, and there was no brother in the family, so the girl was only used as a child.
Du Tiehua finally followed, if nothing else, for fear that his father and mother would accuse, and the Zheng family would be scolded again.
Some people who were still hesitant, seeing that Zheng was so generous, even though the chief of the company did not dare to plan, although it was not very good, and some people were also alive, but they did not dare to plan, but just chose the field to plant some.
By the time Du Tiehua's father and mother knew the letter, the eight acres of land had basically been planed, except for scolding, there was no way, but he turned around and told Tiezhu's daughter-in-law not to do this heartless thing.
Du Tiezhu's daughter-in-law doesn't care about these, her husband has helped Taoyuan Villa for nearly half a year, and he has earned a lot of money, and he has saved a lot in his private house, so he doesn't care about the income of cabbage and radish.
When Gu Xinyu was free, he looked at the cabbage planting situation in Dujia Village, and the whole was okay, they all used the fields and their own vegetable gardens, and the farmers were timid, so there was nothing wrong with this practice.
But Zheng's approach made Gu Xinyu look at it a little differently, this kind of courage to break the kettle is really rare in a peasant woman.
Her family not only has eight acres of land, but even the vegetable garden, in front of the house and behind the house, are also planted with cabbage and radish, and the rapeseed is also distributed by the village head.
So Gu Xinyu praised it very much, this Zheng looked at this fairy-like person, praised himself, and was happy to feel that this day was different, especially after Gu Xinyu sent someone to send two bags of grain, Zheng and her husband became more and more careful about these vegetable fields, and the people in the village laughed at the two of them, this is a kind of golden doll.
Zheng didn't think about it so much, no matter how careful he was, how could he be worthy of the shaved ground and the Bodhisattva-like heart of the mountain villa owner?
But he said that after Gu Xinyu finished reading the planting situation in Dujia Village, he went to Zhou Muhan again to see how his wasteland was progressing, and he was a little worried, afraid that this occasionally arrogant guy would not take farming seriously.
After looking at the hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland, she was completely relieved.
Please forgive me for being too big with more than 100,000 acres of land, and Gu Xinyu is only walking on the edge, but houses have been built around it, and some veterans who have been discharged and disabled are busy in the fields.
Seeing Zhou Muhan coming, they surrounded him one after another. There is a Zhang Dayan, because he used to be a personal soldier of the grandfather of the country, and he can be regarded as watching Zhou Muhan grow up, in addition to the awe of Zhou Muhan, there is also the casual willingness of the elders to see the juniors.
A few years ago, because he was injured in the battlefield, he was forced to retire, but because he was reluctant to leave Rongcheng, he and these brothers who shared life and death, he simply picked up his father, mother-in-law and children in his hometown, and rented a few acres of land in the suburbs of Rongcheng.
After careful thinking, Zhou Muhan called Zhang Dayan and only asked him if he was willing to join the battlefield in another way? (To be continued.) )
