Chapter 24: Farming

The autumn harvest is slowly approaching.

While every household is gossiping about their daily routines, they are also getting busy one after another.

After getting up early and going to the fields to harvest grain, sorghum, and corn, just to collect grain for the imperial court, they can store more grain in their own warehouses, so that even if the war burns to the great north, they can survive for a while.

Whenever someone goes down to the field together and passes by Qiu Juhua's barren three acres of dry land, they are full of envy.

At the same time, I feel a little pity, this woman will not calculate, she bought it for a month and a half, and just let it go, what a waste!

Even if you plant cow grass for a month or two, you can do it! This can not only exchange some money, but also not miss the crop.

I really don't know how to farm!

And one day after the autumn harvest, leisurely suddenly brought people to appear in the field, and those who said it was a pity were curious again.

An autumn rain didn't fall, so what did this woman do? Sow seeds? I am not afraid that the seeds will die of drought in the ground!

Besides, there are still ten days left in the festival.

When Gao Zhu led Gao Xiang, Gao Wen, and two short-term workers to plough the ground, he passed by the leisurely field, and saw that someone on the edge of the field was pointing to leisurely discussions, so he stepped forward to ask.

He already knew that Qiu Juhua was buying land, and he muttered in his heart for a while. Now Qiu Juhua, who is not taking care of and careless, suddenly appeared in the field, and was immediately curious.

An old man in the village said: "Gao Zhu, look at your third daughter-in-law, you will lead a group of people to sow seeds before the season, and the season has not yet arrived." ”

"Oh Dad, what are you talking about! Qiu Niangzi is not the third daughter-in-law of the Gao family. The old man's son dragged the old man aside and motioned for him to shut up.

Gao Zhu was unhappy, staring at the old man's son, "She wants to be my Gao family's daughter-in-law!" Dream on! ”

It seems that my Gao family has such a daughter-in-law, how glorious it is!

However, although Qiu Juhua was taken out of Gao's house, this good crop land could not be ruined by her, and she had to remind her kindly.

Gao Zhu twisted his neck, went down to the field with a hoe, and went to find Youran.

Although Gao Xiang and Gao Wen couldn't figure out their father's thoughts, they also followed.

After more than a month of thinking and planning, now the plan has really begun to be implemented, and he gave Uncle Zhou and others a lesson again leisurely and cautiously, talking about how to sow red fruit seeds, how many are placed in each pit, and what is the distance between each pit.

Gao Zhu walked slowly in front of Youran, cleared his throat and said, "Although you are no longer my Gao family, but, out of kindness, I still want to remind you that now, it is not yet the season to sow seeds." Before, I didn't let you go to the field, so it's not surprising that you don't know these things. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Uncle Zhou again, "Brother Zhou, the woman doesn't know, can you not know?" ”

Didn't let me go to the field? You felt that after hearing this, her stomach was pouring upside down, because she didn't let her go to the field, because she was afraid that outsiders would gossip, and she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would show up in the field, and the villagers would laugh.

But what is the price of not going to the field? All the work in the family is done by Qiu Juhua alone, pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, dogs, and people, which one eats and drinks Lazar is not in her charge?

When the crops in the field are brought home, she has to stay up all night threshing with her hands, and she doesn't dare to sleep when others sleep, because if the work assigned by her mother-in-law can't be done, not only will she not be given food at dawn, but she will also be beaten!

"My matter, I don't need to be reminded by your Gao family!" leisurely endured the suppressed anger in his heart, and said coldly to Gao Zhu.

Gao Zhu never thought that Qiu Juhua would not give himself face like this, so he couldn't help but be angry and annoyed, and shouted "Gao Xiang" and "Gao Wen" with his hoe and left.

"What I just told you, do you understand?" Calmly calm down your emotions and be humane to everyone.

Zhou Yuancheng diverted the topic and said worriedly: "Qiu Niangzi, it's not that you don't know Gao Zhu's person, he has anger and never spreads it in front of him, he is secretly making trouble, the last time Gao Xiang did that, I didn't believe it without his instructions." This time, because you are close to the Junbo Teahouse, he is close to him, and you slap him in the face like this, I am afraid that he will ......"

"Whatever he wants! He's going to be able to withstand the toss, just come!! Leisurely and cruel.

After a long time, she calmed down and found that Zhou Yuancheng was very embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I just remembered a lot of the past and felt resentful."

"Look at what Qiu Niangzi said, we all understand it." Zhou Yuancheng nodded with everyone.

"Then let's start working, everyone, I'm also a blind man who crossed the river and touched it. The first time I tried to grow this new thing, I had to learn from other vegetables, and if there was anything wrong, you had to say. ”

"Mrs. Qiu is humble!" When everyone heard the leisurely words, they waved their hands one after another.

Uncle Zhou said: "What do you say, we will do it, it's wrong, it's a big deal, we're changing it back!" ”

Yes, yes, yes! The crowd agreed.

"Okay, I'll divide the work."

Leisurely and seriously, they divided several people into three groups, digging pits, sowing seeds, and digging mounds. And himself, he is responsible for assisting various positions.

Under the order, Zhou Yuancheng took his younger brother Zhou Yuangong, Uncle Zhou took Zhou Dajin, and the red box took Sanbao and others, and they started in full swing.

"Flowers! Flower! ”

was busy for a while, and when she was pouring water for the big guy, she suddenly saw an old man in the field shaking a white turban and walking towards her.

"Dad, why are you here?" Catch it at your leisure.

Blacksmith Qiu looked distressed and said unhappily: "Hua'er, I heard that you bought land, why don't you discuss such a big matter with your father?" ”

"Dad, don't worry, it's the land of Sun Lichang's family, and Uncle Zhou helped me contact it."

After hearing this, Blacksmith Qiu was relieved.

Then he made a bitter face, "Then why don't you tell me about farming?" Let someone say a word, I'll come over immediately, look at you, please a bunch of outsiders, put your own father aside! ”

"Dad, I'm afraid you'll be tired." smiled playfully, and said, "Besides, if I don't tell you, aren't you here too?" ”

leisurely took Qiu Blacksmith's arm and took him to the field, on the way, he briefly told him about his affairs in the Junbo Teahouse and farming.

Daddy Qiu looked at such a capable woman, didn't speak for a long time, and just opened his mouth and complained, "It's all because Dad has no ability!" Otherwise, my woman wouldn't be so hard! ”

"Daddy, you're here again! Quick, let's go farming! The first time I tried it, I had to be careful! ”

Well! Daddy Qiu happily picked up the tools and ran towards a few people excitedly.

……

Gao Zhu worked all afternoon on the farm and did not return home until the sun went down.

In the afternoon, he didn't say a word, and his two sons were afraid of him since they were children, and they didn't dare to say anything.

As soon as he got home, Gao Xiang was quick to talk, and he told him about meeting Qiu Juhua in the field.

"Damn little whore! It's against her! dared to confront her father-in-law in front of so many people, although it was once, but she walked out of my high door! Ah Xiang, why didn't you give her a look at that time? ”

"Mother, where do I dare to hit her!" I'm afraid she's too late!

"Unproductive bastard! She is a woman's family, no matter how strong she is, can she be greater than you? ”

"Daddy's here! Besides, there are a lot of helpers around her, and if it really starts, we will suffer a loss. ”

Gao Xiang scratched his head, saw that Wu was silent, just lowered his head and face, leaned up and whispered: "Mother, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"What's so strange?" Wu didn't even raise her head, her mind was all on Qiu Juhua's three acres of dry land at this time.

Their Gao family has been in this landscape for dozens of generations before they saved these seven acres and eight points of land, and the little prostitute casually got three acres, which is still a good dry land.

And the silver! Three acres of land will cost fifteen taels at most, and there are still five taels left!

Wu settled accounts for Qiu Juhua on the one hand, and muttered on the other, and the more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he became.

The last time she picked up money, she got a lot of sweetness, and when the sweetness passed, her heart itched again.

If only I could pick it up again! Pick it up again...... Right! Wouldn't it be nice to get her home again...... Wu was suddenly excited.

Gao Xiang didn't pay attention, and said to himself: "I always feel that Qiu Juhua is weird. ”

Quirky? What's weird?

Wu Shi stopped, only then did he pay attention to his son's words, and couldn't help but look at Gao Xiang.
