The earth became soft and wet, and families came to the fields with hoes and plows. While cursing the snow disaster and feeling sorry for the wheat seedlings that froze to death, he was also happy that the winter insects froze to death, and the grain sent by the imperial court will have a good harvest this year.

The thawing is not a few days later than in previous years, and if the wind and rain are good, you can also rush to harvest another crop of bud rice after the spring wheat.

Hua Changnian was very proud to take out his baby cow and put on a brand-new plow, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.

Hua Yun secretly cut his voice, if he was his former self, the wind blade and the golden blade rolled together, wouldn't it be better than a plow? Even now, with just one strong body, she can pull the plow and run fast, but... How can it be compared to animals?

Hua Yun turned around boredly and decided to go into the mountain.

The oxen ploughed over the ground, and the men followed behind to smash and flatten the large clods of earth that had been turned out, and then to raise ridges. The cow was slow, and he had time to go to the mountains for a meal.

Seeing that Hua Yun was gone, Hua Changnian and Wan Shi didn't care, because of spring ploughing, Mr. Zeng had a few days off, and Hua Lei was also busy in the field.

Grandma Wan took care of the house, and Grandpa Wan went to Henan to see the cooked land bought.

Hua Bing snorted: "I don't know what my sister brought back, I haven't eaten game for a long time." ”

Hua Yu was also greedy for this: "The wild in the mountains and the ones raised at home are really not the same taste, fragrant." ”

The tongue is nourished.

Hua Lei didn't speak, lowered his head and smashed the clods with a rake.

"Brother, brother, what do you want?"

"Well... Kindness? It's okay, work. ”

The two stuck out their tongues and did not speak again.

When Hua Yun came back, he only carried a bunch of chickens, but he carried a bundle of small saplings.

Hua Bing was disappointed: "Huh? Chickens. ”

Hua Lei patted him on the head and said unhappily: "It's only been a few good days, now I will pick the fat and thin, I can't eat a single chicken feather before, let me stand and reflect." ”

Hua Bing pouted, honestly stood to the side, lowered his head and reflected.

Hua Yun smiled: "I have been hungry for a winter, and I will eat them when I am fattened." ”

Hua Bing suddenly smiled.

Hua Yu surrounded the bundle of saplings: "Sister, what, what's the use?" ”

Hua Yun shook his head: "I don't know what it is, but I saw it in the mountains last year, there were bunches of flowers, red and purple, which were very beautiful." ”

Hua Lei went up to look carefully, and the bare sapling had not yet hung a leaf, and the branches on the top were thin and numb. I touched the thin trunk, the gray bark was very smooth, and it looked very thin, and I patted my head: "It's a whooping red, and the flowering is very beautiful." I've seen it in front of a house in the county, but not in the village. Let's plant it in the yard, and when the flowers bloom in summer, it will be beautiful. ”

Hua Yun shook his head again: "The yard is not loaded, I plan to plant a slip on the north side of our house, on the land boundary, until the side of the mountain." ”

"Wow, that's so long—it's going to be beautiful when it blooms." Hua Yu held her hands, she had never seen this kind of flower, but the eldest brother said that if it looks good, it must be good-looking. Thinking of the flowers and trees that stretch for miles are in full bloom, it must be indescribably beautiful. It's just—

"Sister, are there enough saplings?"

"Enough, over the first few mountains outside, a whole large area has grown, as many as you want."

"Then we'll go with you."

"No, you're walking too slowly."

It's so devastating.

Hua Yun smiled: "However, you can't be idle." Now that we can farm, it's time to clean up our big yard. ”

At this time, Hua Changnian and Wan also came over to rest for a while, and the calf was resting there. Listening to the end of the words, Hua Changnian was worried: "Our family is bigger, and we are all surrounded by stone walls, how can there be so many stones." ”

"No more walls."

"What?" Hua Changnian was shocked: "If someone breaks in..."

"The place is too big, and no matter how high the wall is, people can climb in, and it's even more unsafe. The drawings drawn by my brother are just right. ”

Hua Lei was stunned: "Didn't I just draw a circle outside our small courtyard?" It's not a big place, just a nice garden. ”

Hua Yun sat on the ground and motioned for everyone to sit together. Hua Bing took the opportunity to sit down next to her, and grinned when Hua Lei glared at her.

"Isn't there a tenant? Let's go out of the land, otherwise only my father and grandfather will be busy? ”

Hua Changnian smiled: "That's a good land that has people to share, and our wasteland is rare, and I don't know if I can plant it." ”

Hua Yun nodded lightly: "That's another thing, my father agreed to the matter of renting out the land, so I did it." ”

Hua Changnian: "..."

Wan Shi thought about it and said: "I can't plant it." His father, I think we will plant the ten acres we bought and the ten acres that we opened, but you can't be busy with other land, and my father's age can't help much. ”

"But... Reclamation is also a nuisance..."

"My brother is going to think about this."

"Your brother still has to go to school..."

"I'm afraid that he will become a nerd."

Hua Lei rolled his eyes: "Okay, I'll think about it, Dad, listen to the eldest sister." ”

Hua Changnian: "..."

Really, there is no status at all, and it can't be flattered inside and out.

Hua Yun and Hua Lei glanced at each other, they had already discussed, when did they point to their own family? Reclamation, doesn't it just need manpower, manpower, don't you have money?

Hua Changnian is willing to spend money on the child, but he still can't give up on the big head. The two of them knew that the expansion of the courtyard could not be passed in Hua Changnian's place, so they made their own initiative to cut first and then play, but fortunately they met Zheng County's order, which made Hua Changnian feel less distressed.

Now reclamation is also a large expense, and there are other things that the two of them discussed, and it costs money, so let's not tell him to let him sleep two more peaceful sleeps.

"And then there's the garden that my brother painted—"

Hua Changnian was careful and his liver trembled, the rockery and flowing water, the pavilions and pavilions... I can't wait to faint.

"Let's plant fruit trees."

What? Hua Changnian came to life.

The four children grinned: "Those things drawn in the books are useless in our family." When you plant fruit trees and have flowers to see, and fruits to eat, and you can sell them for money, you will plant fruit trees. ”

Hua Changnian Wan's moved couldn't do it, and he was still worried about how to deal with those scenes that they couldn't dream of.

"Even the saplings have to be bought, and the wild ones in the mountains are astringent and small, and it's useless to move them back." Hua Lei asked Hua Changnian: "Dad, where can I buy saplings?" ”

Wan Shi saw a bare bundle of saplings on the ground: "What is this?" ”

"Bairi Hong, the eldest sister carried it back, and it was planted on the northern border."

Wan Shi sighed, and suddenly said: "Isn't it a hundred days of red, when I was in my mother's house, there was no shortage of growth in the mountains, and this leaf has not yet emerged." Later, my father and mother planted it, and this flower is very beautiful. ”

Hua Changnian sighed and said, "Daddy go buy the saplings, there is a village in the county seat, there is an orchard over there, and the seedlings are sold every year, so we can get more and cheaper." What do you all want to eat? ”

Several children mentioned one after another: "Peaches, apricots, pears, apples, hawthorns, grapes..."

That's all they can think of, and nothing else they've heard of.

Hua Yun thought about it: "In addition to these, Dad, you see that people have everything else, buy it." Get a few hundred of them at the same time. ”

Flower Changnian eyelid twitching, hundreds? The same? How many thousand in total? Where is the waiter?

"Buy less first, Dad won't serve fruit trees, wait for the road, buy more."

Hua Yu thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Dad, don't buy grapes, I know that there is a piece of mountain side with grapes that are sweet and big, my sister and I will go into the mountain to dig some." Mother, sister, just plant it in the yard, and it can also provide shade. ”

Wan immediately agreed, spending less.

"Cheng, you went into the mountains and dug up all the flowers and grasses you liked, we planted them all, the yard was bare, not good-looking."

Hua Yun nodded: "Okay, then let's talk about digging a canal to divert water." ”

"Ahem, cough, cough..."Hua Changnian's eyes were wet with coughing: "Didn't you dig a well?" How did you dig the river? ”

It costs a few taels of silver to dig a well, but digging a river is not something that can be passed by a few taels or taels.

Hua Lei grinned: "It's a well, didn't you say okay, let's dig a well." In the winter, you have to go to the river to smash ice to get water, so you have to dig wells, dig wells. ”

Fortunately, Hua Yun has great strength, otherwise he would have to smash the ice for half a day. There are many families in the village who carry water from the river to eat and drink, and it is easy to say in summer, but winter is not ordinary hardship.

Hua Changnian glared: "What's the matter with digging the river?" ”

"Watering the ground," Hua Lei took it for granted: "There is so much land, can it be that if you pick up water to water it, ten fathers can't run away." Anyway, our family bought a river, dig some branches of the river, who can say anything. ”

Wan Shi suddenly said: "So you and Yun'er must buy that section of the river?" ”

Hua Lei nodded: "Yes, otherwise, when the time comes, our family will dig a branch river to divert water, and the village will have to be crooked and troublesome." ”

Hua Changnian disagreed: "It's just to buy a section, we are upstream, and the water is diverted, and the people in the village may not have no opinions." ”

Hua Lei didn't care and said: "Dad, don't worry, we are still afraid that they will talk nonsense, don't worry, we will never let them quarrel with you when the time comes." ”

Hua Changnian was immediately depressed: "You won't take your eldest sister to fight, right?" ”

"Dad, you despise me too much." Hua Yun was dissatisfied: "They don't deserve it." ”

Hua Changnian: "..."

Give Wan Shi a look, the girl speaks, you really have to teach well.

Wan Shi stared at him and turned his head, I think it's good. (To be continued.) )
