Chapter 14 Poor Ling'er's Poor Things, Righteous Moon, Righteous Deeds
Part I
It was five days later when Wang Yueying came to Taozhuang again.
Lao Suntou's driving skills are very good, several large buckets of fish fry are placed on the ox cart steadily, Wang Yueying secretly added some spiritual spring water to it, and the small fish are still jumping around. The large barrels of fish are mainly grass carp and silver carp, and the feces of grass carp are used as fertilizer for the cultivation of plankton, and can provide a large amount of organic detritus and breeding bacterial colonies for silver carp to eat. There are also two or three barrels of carp and crucian carp, which are used to remove bait residues and improve water quality, so that reasonable polyculture can lead to a good harvest of fish and rice.
Lu Qingshu is very capable of doing things, and the dead trees and weeds in the pond have been cleaned up. After Wang Yueying inspected it, she instructed them to throw fish fry, and secretly put some spiritual spring water into the pond on the side. Thousands of fry disappeared as soon as they approached the pond.
Wang Yueying called Lu Qingshu and instructed: "You just need to throw some rice bran and other things into it every day." From time to time, you have to bring in some living water from somewhere else, and if the water in the pond is not green, it will come to me. You can also cut some of the aquatic plants that grow in the pond to feed the pigs, dig up some mud under the pond every half a month to fertilize the field or plant peach trees, and after the sludge is cleaned, the dried and crushed pig manure is mixed with bran and thrown into the pond. ”
The more Lu Qingshu listened, the more excited he became, no wonder he was not good at raising fish before, it turned out that he still had these particularities, patted his chest and promised: "Owner, don't worry, we will definitely be able to take care of it." ”
"That's good, now the Zhuangzi is all your own people, don't worry, when the fish grows up, you will have to trouble several of you to take turns to watch, and then each of you will share a profit. The better the fish are raised, the more money you will get shared. Although Wang Yueying has never been a leader, she has been led, and she knows that she will draw a big pie for employees to see, and employees will always work hard for it.
When Lu Qingshu heard Wang Yueying say this, he was even more excited, he was a scholar, his body was not so strong, and he could barely do the work in the field. Before Master Cai's love, he became the steward of this peach village, and he also had a salary of ten taels of silver a year. Now the new dealer not only continues to let himself be in charge, but also shares the profits of this fish pond with everyone, and he wants Zhiyuan to study and take the imperial examination, and the glory of the ancestors is just around the corner.
Wang Yueying instructed the old grandson to go to Lu Qingshu's house to load the peach petals that had been processed before into the car, and to make a round in the Zhuangzi by himself, and teach the tenants some methods of raising seedlings in fertile fields.
Yu Shi and others handled the peach blossom petals very well, Wang Yueying gave each woman thirty literary wages after reading it, although Yu Shi and others refused, but Wang Yueying still insisted on giving money. Although the tenants are renting their own land and planting, they are not their own subordinates, and they still have to be paid for their work, and they still have to do a lot of things for them to do in the future.
The house in Hetou Village is being built, and Wang Yueying has handed over these civil engineering tasks to Huzi's father, Chen Ben. As his name suggests, Chen Benfen is honest and honest, often building and repairing houses for people in nearby villages, and there are many small workers who follow him. Wang Yueying handed over the drawings she drew to Chen Benfen, saying that it was a drawing, but in fact, it was a blind drawing by feeling, and it took several nights to get it out, fortunately, Chen Benfen was an old craftsman, and he roughly understood Wang Yueying's intention to build a house. Wang Yueying was overjoyed, gave him a hundred taels of silver to buy materials and pay for his work, and asked him to lead the workers to drink tea. The houses built in the village are basically for dinner, but Wang Yueying is too busy to do it alone, so she gives each person an extra ten cents and takes care of the food by herself. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the people in the village said that they would come to help, and they worked hard back and forth in the town, and they had to spend money on food and drink, and they couldn't save much in a month. Now I can earn an extra ten cents for working in my own village, which is unexpected by many people.
Wang Yueying asked Yang Dashan and Song Hai to help pick some people who could be used, there were not many people she knew in the village, although she also wanted to help more fellow villagers, but she was not welcome to grind foreign workers, Song Hai and others picked and selected, and selected more than a dozen people, and the house was built quickly.
Wang Yueying plans to build a courtyard house, the original house where the mother and son live will not be demolished, but slightly changed, the bedroom has been changed into a storage room, the kitchen and the hall only need to rest a little, and the pigsty is built near the vegetable garden behind the house, so that it is convenient to feed, and the smell will not spread to the front room.
There are two rows of houses on both sides of the newly built courtyard, on the left is the room of the mother and son, Xun'er and the pavilion are also about to grow up, so they have left a room, and on the right is the guest room and study. Wang Yueying also designed the bathroom and toilet according to the drawings found in the space, both of which are paved with pebble floors, so that the water can directly penetrate the ground. The toilet is made of smooth stones to make a squatting pit, and after using the toilet, you can flush it to the septic tank at the back of the house with clean water, which is no different from a modern flush toilet. In order to avoid the smell, flowers and plants are specially planted near the toilet. Two gatehouses were built near the gate for the old grandson's family to live in. Although the current house is much better than the previous one, there are not a few people in the whole village who have such a big house, and it does not seem abrupt, but the design of the toilet has amazed many people, and everyone has said that they want to make such a thatched house in their own home.
As soon as Wang Yueying arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw a group of children gathered in front of the merchant to buy snacks, Xun'er and the pavilion held hands and stood aside to watch, they have now dealt with the children in the village, and take Xiao Hei everywhere every day.
"Bo Xun, don't you buy sugar?" Huzi asked, grabbing a handful of sugar, hesitating to divide them.
"They don't have money to buy sugar." Before Xun'er could answer, a little fat man immediately sneered when he heard Huzi's question, "My mother said that their mother is not a good thing, and they are not a good thing, they were driven out." ”
The "bad guy" heard the little fat man mention his mother, and he was angry and wanted to pounce on him and beat him. Xun'er grabbed her tightly, glanced at the little fat man and comforted the pavilion, "A good boy won't say anything about others and won't beat others." Our mother is the best mother in the world, so she will not teach bad children. When Wang Yueying heard Xun'er say this, she waved her fist in her heart and shouted, 'My son is good, he has a black belly', but other children can understand.
The other children listened to Xun'er's words and shouted: "My mother also said that children can't speak ill of others, and they can't fight with others. Seeing that everyone was heading towards Xun'er and the pavilion, the little fat man stomped his feet angrily and ran away.
Wang Yueying asked Lao Sun Tou to drive the ox cart closer.
"Mother" The two children saw Wang Yueying shouting loudly, the voice of the pavilion was full of grievances, looking at her pitifully, Wang Yueying hugged her and kissed her, reached out and touched Xun'er's head, and did not ask them what happened just now, children always have to grow up by themselves.
"Why don't you buy snacks? Didn't my mother give you pocket money? Wang Yueying is very curious, she will give pocket money to the children every week, and they will not run out of money to buy snacks.
"We don't want to eat snacks, and we have other snacks at home." Xun'er gave the answer.
"Mother, let's go to my brother and say that we will go to Aunt Cuihua's house for dinner." The pavilion nested in Wang Yueying's arms, and said intermittently.
"Why do you want to go to Aunt Cuihua's house for dinner?" The pavilion is now in the time of talking, and the long sentences are not very good, Wang Yueying did not urge her, and asked her after listening quietly, wanting her to express it again. This can exercise her ability to speak, at this time, if there is no good guidance, the child will feel that he is not good at speaking, and become less talkative.
"Aunt Cuihua, Brother Ngengen, go home, let's go to her house for dinner." After the pavilion finished expressing it intermittently, Wang Yueying also listened to it, and it turned out that Baogen had returned.
"Then shall we go to Aunt Cuihua's house now?" Wang Yueying also planned to go to Cuihua's house to make peach blossom wine, but now that the spring bamboo shoots have ended, it is inconvenient for her family to build a house and make wine.
After saying goodbye to the two babies and friends, he went directly to Cuihua's house, and before he arrived at her door, he saw Ling'er wandering around alone.
"Ling'er, why are you here?" Wang Yueying looked at her walking around there alone, looking at a loss.
"Ahh Ling'er was startled by the sudden voice, she had been thinking about her thoughts, and she didn't pay attention to Wang Yueying and the others, "Sister Yueying, it's you." ”
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Yueying saw that her face was pale, and she looked like she was about to fall down at any time, "You get in the car first, let's go to Cuihua's house to talk about anything." ”
"Why are you all here?" Some time ago, I made some money selling spring bamboo shoots, and these sets were rarely vacant, Yang Dashan went to the town early in the morning to buy some things for his father-in-law, and by the way, he took Baogen home to live for a few days. Before I got home, I saw a group of people standing not far from the door of my house, and when I walked in, I found that it was them, and said with a smile, "Why don't you come to the house as a guest, hurry up and enter the door." ”
"Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Sick? As soon as she entered the door, Cuihua took Ling'er's hand and asked. Only then did Wang Yueying notice that Ling'er had indeed lost a lot of weight, and her clothes were as empty as hanging on a hanger.
As soon as "Sister Cuihua" opened her mouth and called out to Sister Cuihua, Ling'er couldn't help crying bitterly.
Everyone can't bear to disturb her, so it's good for her to vent. Yang Dashan quietly took the children out, Wang Yueying got up and went out to ask the old grandson to move the peach petals down and put them in the yard first, and when she came back, Ling'er's crying gradually subsided, and she was wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Wang Yueying saw that Cuihua was so anxious that she didn't know how to speak, and asked softly, "But what happened?" ”
Ling'er's tears that had just been forced back flowed again, and she sobbed and said, "I have no way out."
