Chapter 246: Ox Cart
Fee Chapter (12 points)
The second watch, ask for pink.
…………
Zhang Qingshan asked Zhang Qingnian to go home, and he wanted to stay for a few days. The Lian family has never raised large animals, and Lian Shouxin is of course a novice in this regard. Zhang Qingshan wants to stay, on the one hand, to see that they work a lot, and wants to help his daughter and uncle do some work, and on the other hand, he wants to teach Lian Shouxin to raise cattle.
Of course, Lian Shouxin understood Zhang Qingshan's kindness, and he was very moved in his heart.
Zhang took a basket with a few pieces of bread wrapped in cloth for Zhang Qingnian to eat on the way, and a small jar of wine for him to bring to Li and the children. Since the Chinese New Year, Lian Man'er got a jar of wine, and the family loves to eat it, and later bought some glutinous rice and brewed two jars.
Lian Man'er went back to the old house, took seven taels of silver and the 246th chapter ox cart, a hang of money plus a string of money, and wrapped it in cloth and handed it to Zhang Qingnian.
Zhang Qingnian collected the money. Eight taels of silver is not a small amount. He and Zhang Qingshan rushed to the market, but they didn't bring so much money with them. Or the two of them have a reputation and a wide number of people in the mule and horse market, and they brought the plough staff and oxen first, and the money is still in arrears. Along the way, he happened to send the money to the seller.
Zhang Qingshan said a few more words to Zhang Qingnian, and saw Zhang Qingnian leave, and then went to the field again, let Lian Man'er take the cow, he supported the plow behind, and the two of them talked and laughed and got to work.
When Gorou and Xiaoqi got off school, they all rushed straight to the ground. Lian Man'er had no choice but to let the work of the morning glory out.
Lian Man'er's family first bought a little piglet, then added a group of chirping chickens and ducklings, and now added a bigger living creature, a little cattle. This little scalper suddenly replaced the living creatures in front of him and became the favorite of Goro, especially Xiao Qi.
Gorou is a little older, and his performance is not obvious, but Xiao Qi does not hide it, and he refuses to walk well on the road of Le, jumping and jumping around the little scalper.
“…… When the grass grows, I'll take you to graze as soon as I get out of school. I'm in a place, and the grass is tender. I'm alone in this place, don't Chapter 246 Oxcart Man. Xiao Qi whispered in the ear of the little scalper, as if the little scalper could understand his words and would be the best with him in the future.
The little scalper is still young and has to slowly adapt to the work in the field. Zhang Qingshan cherished it very much, so after turning over the vegetable field, he unloaded the plough stick and let the little ox rest.
This little scalper is theirs, and they have to get a place for the little scalper.
"Move the firewood in the mezzanine to the outside of the gate, and put the bullpen in the mezzanine." Lian Shouxin suggested. On the other side of the old house, there is a passage between the pigsty and the gate wall, and the passage is about four or five feet wide, which is not spacious enough to raise this calf, but it is enough. Lian Shouxin thinks so.
"The child's father, we have raised a few ducks, and his milk is too smelly, and it is not a nose or a face to our nose. The smell of this cow is even greater. Don't you see what the pomegranate family is like? I'm afraid his grandmother will be even more reluctant this time. Zhang questioned.
Lian Shouxin was silent. He didn't say anything.
"That's no way, if you don't raise it there, where else can you keep it?" Even keep the word.
Although a shop has been built here, the land behind it will be built for two in the future. But in Lian Shou's faith, the old mansion is his home. He bought cattle and kept them at home, where else could he keep them?
"You guys," Zhang Qingshan said, "If I want to see it's a little narrow, this cow is inside, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn around." The size of this ox, and the length of some of it. ”
Zhang Qingshan believes that the cattle pen should be more spacious.
"I, too, but there is no other suitable place to put the cattle pen in the vegetable garden." Even keep the word.
"Dad, let's build a bullpen here." Lian Man'er said.
"Take it here?" Lian Shouxin didn't react for a while, "That looks so inconvenient." ”
"Dad, who will take care of our cow in the future?" Lian Man'er asked.
"Needless to say, of course I'll have to take care of it." Even Shouxin immediately said. A cow is an important property for the farmer's family and the main helper of farming. Some people attach more importance to cattle than they do.
As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat, and it's almost the same for cattle. Although the Lian family has never raised cattle, they are even trustworthy, and those who take care of the cattle and horses have to get up at least once at night and go to the stable to take care of them, including feeding and watering.
This job falls on the shoulders of Ding Shouxin, the only adult male in the family.
"Dad, think about it, where do you sleep after the New Year?" Lian Man'er laughed.
Lian Shouxin patted his head, yes, he forgot. Since opening this early shop, he has slept in the shop many times. Now it's time to build a house, and he's going to stay here even more. Of course, this cow is kept here, so that he can take care of it easily.
The whole family laughed.
Even Man'er laughed, thinking to herself, the stubbornness of inertial thinking should not be underestimated. Although I have worked hard here, I still have to keep my faith that my home is still in the old house. However, when they develop the land little by little and build a new house, even the idea of keeping their promises will slowly change.
I want to put up a bullpen here, but there is no fence in the new shop, and I don't even feel at ease about keeping my promises. In the end, it was decided to discuss with the temple and raise the cattle in the mezzanine behind the gatehouse.
At this time, they had a good relationship with the temple, so as soon as they told the abbot about keeping their promises, the abbot agreed.
Because the timber for building a house is ready-made, Zhang Qingshan immediately took Lian Shouxin and began to build a bullpen. While setting up a cattle pen, Zhang Qingshan told Lian Shouxin what things to pay attention to when raising cattle. Gorou and Xiao Qi followed to help, and they both listened quite seriously.
…………
At dinner, Lian Shouxin specially invited Mr. Lian to accompany Zhang Qingshan to drink.
Seeing that Lian Shouxin bought an ox and a plough stick, even the old man was very happy.
"I'm afraid that you two won't be able to plant this land, but now that I have a plough stick, I won't worry about you." Even the old man said.
After eating, even the old man asked Zhang Qingshan to go back to the old house with him, saying that the two brothers were lying on a kang and chatting well. Zhang Qingshan did not agree.
"This cow is still small, I just bought it, it happened a little, I have to help take care of it here."
Even the old man didn't force himself when he heard Zhang Qingshan like this.
Lian Shouxin sent Old Man Lian out, and Lian Man'er then went out to splash water, and saw Old Man Lian and Lian Shouxin standing on the official road, whispering.
"Your father-in-law was there just now, so I didn't ask." The old man Lian Shouxin said, "Your ox and plough stick, this money, are you all paying for it?" ”
“…… I said I wanted to buy it, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I didn't give the money to go. The child was given the money by his grandfather, and when his uncle brought the money. "Lian Shouxin did not hide it from Old Man Lian.
"Oh." Even the old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "You did this right." …… Your father-in-law treats you as the head of the ten, and you can't forget the kindness of others. ”
Ten heads, is their local language here, which roughly means ten out of ten, one hundred percent. When Mr. Lian said this, he meant that Zhang Qingshan was very good at keeping his word to Lian.
"Me. …… Help, it was given by the child's grandfather, I want to give money, and he doesn't want it. "Even keep the word.
“…… Don't think Dad is too lenient, Dad is also worried about you. …… You are building a house, buying land, and buying oxen and plough sticks, and you haven't planted that land yet, fourth, do you have enough money to spend? Even the old man asked again.
“…… These are not to buy, there is no way, no matter how tight the money is, you have to buy it. "Even keep the word.
“…… Dad can't help you much, I have prepared all the seeds for your thirty acres of land. Even the old man said.
"Daddy......," Lian Shouxin cried, "I'll give you the seed money then." ”
It seems that he is afraid that the old man will refuse, and Lian Shouxin's next words are said quickly.
"Dad, I'm out of this family, and I have to give the money I should give. …… The population is large, and if there is anything to say, it will not be good. ”
This is for the sake of the old man, and the reason why he didn't let the old man come to help him when he built a house is also what it means. Lian's family is now full of people, he separates his family, and even the old man will pay him labor or property, for fear that other nephews will have a say.
"Fourth, don't be careful. When the family was separated, they said okay, I will give you a year's rations, and there are not many seeds in this kind of land, so you should stop telling me that there is no money. "Even the old man said this, turned around and left, and didn't let Lian Shouxin send him." Treat your husband well. In the evening, let your father-in-law come to the house to eat. ”
Zhang Qingshan lived in the camp for three days in a row, turned over the newly bought land of Lian Man'er's family, and helped pick up the vegetable field. As long as the season is up, the vegetable furrow can be trimmed, and the vegetables can be planted.
The vegetable patch that was picked up was not large, only five points.
"If you are greedy and chew more, this vegetable field is different from other places." Zhang Qingshan and even the old man said, "This land is born, just wait for you to plant vegetables, and pulling weeds will be enough for you to work." …… Don't take the clearing of the wasteland as an easy task, you have to serve this land for a few years before you can serve the mature land. ”
Both of them are old croppers, and what they say is based on experience. Of course, Lian Man'er only has an open mind to be taught.
"Now that you have this ploughman, you should buy a car." After cleaning up the vegetable patch, Zhang Qingshan kept his word to Lian.
Lian's family has a flatbed truck, and it relies on it to pull grain and firewood to the family during the autumn harvest last year. Even Shouxin separated from his family, and there were only two sets of shovels, pickaxes, and hoes, and in the spring of this year, they added two more sets. Flatbed trucks they don't have yet.
"I'm also going to buy a flatbed." Even keep the word.
"You didn't buy cattle before, but now that you have cows, you should buy a cart." Zhang Qingshan said, "This kind of land, usually catch a market, buy something, there is an ox cart, it is much more convenient." ”
………………
For Man'er, I feel that the money is not enough, because the family is too thin.
