Chapter 55: Turning the Soil

After the courtyard walls were built and the path was paved, the construction of the whole house was completed, and it was necessary to lay tiled roofs and install sewer pipes for the two small buildings.

Wu Nuandong asked two helpers and villagers to clean up the front and back yards, and the unused construction waste was moved out, and the tail workers could not use so many people, except for the Song brothers and four specialized bricklayers, the remaining thirteen people were divided into two groups, one group dug a well in the corner of the front yard, and the other group followed the four brothers and sisters behind them with hoes and began to turn over the soil.

Looking at the messy field in front of him, Uncle Sun stroked his short beard and persuaded the four energetic brothers and sisters, "This land is not good land, it is better to grow some food that is easy to feed, and if you can't sell it at a good price, you can still feed your family." ”

"Uncle Sun, it's okay, our family has experience in growing medicine, and we are not afraid of things." Wu Xingzhou smiled, Uncle Sun didn't want to persuade anything, and nodded honestly, "Okay, you can do it if you have a score!" ”

Tian Dazhu pointed with his thin arm, "There are a lot of stones in this field, and it may take us two or three days to do it alone." ”

Several children looked at each other, and the villagers should have spring ploughing in the past two days, so they wanted to speed up the construction period. I didn't think that they were inexperienced, or some places were not considered clearly, and there were very few people with cattle in the village, so they naturally ignored them.

Wu Nuandong remembered that two days ago, he saw the children of the villagers grazing cattle at the foot of the mountain, and asked curiously, "Can the cattle and plows in our village be rented?" ”

"Huzi and Uncle Tie's family have cows." The black-faced young man Zhao Youfu scratched his head and looked at Wu Xingzhou with big eyes, "Why don't I go and ask them if they rent it?"

"Brother Fu, shall I go with you?" Wu Xia Zhi was so active by nature that he couldn't stay stunned, he happily dragged the hem of Zhao Youfu's clothes, and pulled Zhao Youfu, who was two heads taller than him, out of the courtyard without waiting for Wu Xingzhou to speak.

Wu Nuandong and Wu Qiuzhi couldn't help much, so they simply picked up the big bamboo basket and buried their heads in picking up the stones. A few adults were not easy to stay, and wanted to go down to help, but they just heard a cow mooing, and Wu Xingzhou looked up and saw that it was the village cow herding baby who walked in with three cows.

"Little brother, what are you ......" Wu Xingzhou asked in surprise. Although he had seen this cowherding baby, he didn't know whose child it was.

"Hello Young Master Xingzhou, I was sent by the Cheng family, Young Master he can't go if he has something, if you have something to say, you can tell me, I can pass the word to my young master." The cowherd unloaded the three brand-new plow trucks and said with a smile: "This is a gift from the young master to the martial arts family in advance to celebrate the completion of the new mansion." The young master knew that he had to meet the deadline in the next two days, so he sent me and Niu to help. ”

Wu Xingzhou and Wu Qiuzhi glanced at their little sister in unison, both moved and conflicted by Cheng Zijing's intentions, and they didn't know what was wrong with him, from sticking to Nuan Nuan every day before, to now not seeing people for two or three days, but taking care of the Wu family all the time. It's a little unpleasant to make people's hearts warm.

"How is your young master doing?" Wu Nuandong put down the bamboo basket and walked over, and asked quietly with concern: "Did he encounter something?" ”

"No, no, my young master is fine, but he's too busy." Seeing that the cow herding baby had been instructed, her little face was flushed, and she didn't know whether she was excited or nervous, so she whispered quietly, "The young master really misses Miss Wu, but I don't know how to speak, Miss, if you are free, can you go and see my young master?"

Wu Nuandong nodded happily, "When I'm done with these two days, I'll go over." After thinking about it, he asked, "Is your young master really okay?" "There is no doubt about the friendship between the Cheng family, the brothers and sisters of the Wu family are not ungrateful, and Cheng Zijing's special background makes Wu Nuandong miss him even more.

"Don't worry, if my young master knows that you care about him so much, hehe!" I'm going to see you right away! The last sentence was hidden and didn't say, Miss Wu is good-looking, after all, she is still too young, and the young master can see the pearl and remember it early, and he must be embarrassed to put him aside. Thinking about the young master of his own family, when he mentioned the spring breeze of Miss Wu, the cow herding baby couldn't help but tremble. If the cowherd baby was born in modern times, he must know a word that can describe the situation of his young master - 'pedophilia'.

Wu Xia Zhi and Zhao Youfu led a cow into the courtyard, which belonged to Huzi's family. Uncle Tie drove the ox cart to the town early in the morning, and Aunt Tie lent the plow cart to them.

One acre of land in the front yard and two acres of land in the back yard. The courtyards in each of the five small buildings have more than one piece of land, occupying a total of one acre. The private land in the small courtyard is decided by the aunts of each family, and whether to grow food, flowers or vegetables is according to the needs of each family. In the two courtyards of the main house, several brothers and sisters discussed, the front yard grows vegetables, which is self-sufficient and self-sufficient, and does not need to be refined, and the backyard is planted with medicinal materials.

This time Wu Nuandong is farming in the real sense, and there was a spiritual spring in the Jade Mansion as a cheater before, just dig a pit and bury the seeds in it, water it, sprout it, and do it in one go. Now is a good time to learn planting, she rolled up her sleeves and her eyes were shining and she was just about to follow the ox cart to plant seedlings and sow seeds, but she was stopped by the three brothers of the samurai family.

"Nuan Nuan, can you go and pull water with Brother Xingzhou?" Wu Xingzhou rubbed her soft little head with a smile, joking, the baby pimple in the family went to the field to farm, if he let his grandfather and uncles and aunts know that if he didn't pull out his skin, the other brothers would not be able to spare him.

"Yes! Four cars, seven uncles and a cow in a group of two, Qiu Zhi and I helped Uncle Tian to occupy the last cow, Nuan Nuan, there is no seat, you still help Brother Xingzhou go! Otherwise, Brother Zhou is too hard! Wu Xia Zhi pulled Wu Qiuzhi to stand behind the ox cart with a sharp heart, and showed a mouthful of small white teeth to Wu Nuandong.

Wu Qiuzhi didn't say anything, and looked at her with a pair of warm and good-looking phoenix eyes full of smiles.

It's the same set of coaxing children again! It's a pity that Wu Nuandong is really right!

"I see!" Naturally, she would not refute the kindness of her brothers, although she was a little sorry, but she could mix the spiritual spring water into the bucket by fetching water. At this time, the seeds sown are from the good seeds cultivated in the Jade Mansion, and I am afraid that there will be no chance for her to water the field alone in the future, so it is better to take the opportunity to irrigate with spiritual spring water now, presumably when it is ripe, it will not be too far worse than the Jade Mansion.

Wu Xingzhou moved a few large empty buckets and put them on the donkey cart, rushed to the small river, Wu Nuandong took the opportunity to chat with him while putting spiritual spring water in the empty buckets, and after a few times, Wu Xingzhou didn't count how many buckets he had hit, but felt relaxed, a little faster than usual, and thought it was because Nuan Nuan was chatting with him to distract himself.

In the process of pulling back, some water was sprinkled, and before unloading the car, Wu Nuandong was full again.
