The two sides of the strait start new shoots, and a vein of the trail is velvety. The ice and snow slowly can't stay, and the spring breeze blows on the cheeks. The floating clouds flip and the sun shines, and the flowing water lines the remnants of the cliff several times. Yesterday, I was looking forward to the stinging rain, and the morning was busy with people.

Two consecutive rains fell, and the people in Tuqiao Village finally breathed a sigh of relief, from the end of the New Year to the present, if there was no rain last night, the water before the spring ploughing would not be enough.

In the courtyard of Zhang's house, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the farmer who was busy preparing for spring ploughing outside, glanced at each other, and nodded at the same time.

"Drought, it looks like there will be a real drought this year, thanks to the two days ago I dug a pool, I can still hold up for a while, whether the chickens, ducks and geese will be sent over there now, I really go over, and I have to eat a lot of food along the way."

Wang Juan held half a bun in his hand and said to Zhang Xiaobao a little worriedly.

Zhang Xiaobao took a bowl of milk, took a sip without hurry, and then said: "Don't worry, wait for a bigger one, just drought, the grasshoppers haven't come out yet, even if you want to go, you can't be led by my two Zhuangzi, first go to Sanshui County to find Cheng County, this is also a merit, just inquire about the matter sent by the above to thoroughly investigate the matter of the acres of land." ”

"It's okay, Quyuan plough has been sent the day before yesterday, pomegranates, you arrange people to send them to our two farmers, as well as the cattle and horses that have been collected, according to last autumn's harvest."

Wang Juan responded to Zhang Xiaobao's call, and turned his head to the pomegranate who was following him.

Pomegranate replied, turned to leave, she naturally knew what happened to the autumn harvest last year, the two Zhuangzi farmers did not harvest their own fields, but together, and harvested all the land of the two villages at the same time, and the spring ploughing was the same.

In addition to these, the subordinates in the courtyard of the two villages also had to help, and it was usually the men who were sent out.

Walked to the place behind where the little boy had designed the curved plow, and greeted him, and two manservants immediately came over there.

"The things that the little boy and the little lady got out, find a car to pull them up, and give them to the dealer with me."

As the maid of the little boy, Pomegranate also picked up the shelf, and while the two were preparing the carriage, they looked curiously at the things piled together, which looked like they should be plows, but they had never seen them before.

When the carriage arrived, one of them finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister Pomegranate, what is this?" Could it be that it is used for ploughing? ”

"Hmm!" Pomegranate snorted, and then said: "This is natural, the little boy thinks that the farmer is a little slow when plowing the land, no, he has come up with something new, which is several times faster than the plough used before." ”

In fact, Pomegranate doesn't know if this thing is really like this, she just has more confidence in the little boy and the two, and there is nothing bad about anything that the little boy and the two of them come up with.

The two male servants also nodded on the side, the position of the little boy and the little lady in their hearts has reached an incomparable level, if it weren't for the gag order of the two villages, they would have boasted to others a long time ago.

One by one, the Quyuan plough was carried onto the car by the two, and when the cart was filled, they rushed outside first, and the pomegranate sat on the wheel, looking ahead, guessing how useful this thing that was named Quyuan Plough by the little boy would be when it came.

A manservant who was driving the car turned his head and asked, "Sister Pomegranate, isn't this plow also the money of the little boy?" ”

"Nature." Pomegranate replied with two words.

"I think it's the same, to say that since the little boy and the little lady can talk, those days are much better than elsewhere, maybe there is no such master in the entire Tang Dynasty." Speaking of this, the two manservants became proud.

The car was driving on the muddy road, and when they came to the field, the two wheels were already full of dirt, and the farmers were plowing the fields with the previous plow, and when they saw a car coming, and there was a pomegranate sitting on it, and the people who were close to thought that the Zhuangzi had something to do, so they immediately put down their work and went to the front.

Without waiting for the farmer to ask, the pomegranate bento spoke first: "Folks, this is a newly made plough on the Zhuangzi, see if it is better than the one you use now?" There are also Zhuangzi bought some cattle and horses from outside these days, and the master instructed them to jointly cultivate according to the harvest last autumn. ”

As soon as the farmers heard that the cart was pulling a new plow, they were all curious, and in the last few months, every thing that came out of the main house had brought them a lot of benefits, and the plow seemed to be good.

What made them happiest was the last two things that Pomegranate said, there were cattle and horses, and joint farming, which was much easier now, and spring ploughing could be ahead of others.

At that moment, these farmers greeted other people who were still busy, and everyone rushed over to help unload the new plough from the car, and they all touched it gently with their hands, and they all sighed in their hearts, and the master even thought of this.

There was the anxious man, who had already put the new plough on the ploughing ox first, and was a little unaccustomed to the first few steps, and after waiting for a few more steps, he couldn't help cheering.

"Look, look at this speed, God, it's just God, it's a god, it's a few times faster than before with this plow, fast, fast, put it on, pomegranate girl, ...... this plow?"

"This is called Quyuan plow, the villagers can use it with confidence, there is still in the back, and the cattle and horses will be sent soon, and they are all strong." When Pomegranate saw that someone said yes, she also became happy.

When the crowd saw the speed of the previous man, they could no longer maintain their original steady, and they all began to unload the original plow and replace it with a new one.

"Folks, don't be busy with your hands first, I heard that my old man said that this Quyuan plough is something given to us by the master of our two Zhuangzi, don't let others learn it."

An old man who was also ploughing, when he saw the new plow, shouted loudly to the people around him, and when he heard it, he nodded his head in agreement, they didn't want the good things of the master's house to be learned by others.

With the addition of the quyuan plough, the oxen and horses were also brought, and the people began to work together according to the situation of the autumn harvest, regardless of the land of you and me, and in the evening they found that the ploughing of this day could catch up with that of the previous days.

Seeing this situation, everyone seemed to feel that they were not tired at all, and put away their tools one by one and prepared to go home, when the pomegranate appeared in front of everyone's eyes again and said to everyone:

"Folks, the Zhang family and the Wang family have already set up pots to make things in the courtyard, it is cold in spring, and there is still some wine, separate the Zhuangzi and go to their respective main houses to eat."

When the farmers heard this, they let out a cheer and went to their respective masters' houses.

******

As the sun set, the people of Gezhuang were busy for a day, and they also returned to their homes, and the people near the small river glanced at Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi at random, and their eyes widened.

Previously, Wang's Zhuangzi did not plow the land from the river to the inside, but from the inside to the outside, the people of Gezhuang are not clear, waiting for the evening, the land actually ploughed to this side, the same is true in the past, usually at least three days later, I didn't expect to see a piece of land ploughed over there on this side today.

The surprised people were not in a hurry to go home, and hurriedly ran across the bridge to take a closer look at the Wang's Zhuangzi, which was amazing, and the Wang's Zhuangzi actually ploughed out the land that could be ploughed out in a few days in one day.

Driven by curiosity, this man stopped a farmer on the Wang family's Zhuangzi who was walking behind.

"Brother Qiushu, you all ploughed for a day? Have you found someone from elsewhere? "This farmer of the Ge family stopped people and wanted to ask for an understanding.

The person he called Brother Qiushu straightened his chest, smiled again, and said, "It turned out to be Brother Sun, and you are also busy over there?" Hurry up and go back to eat, otherwise the food will be cold for a while, we are ploughing here, there are many people, do it quickly, we don't find people from elsewhere, who has the time, spring ploughing, are busy,

I'm going to eat, and the master's side has made it, hey! When it comes to the main family, we don't know what to say, the main family is afraid of the cold in spring, and even prepared wine, I will leave first, Brother Sun, you are busy. ”

As he spoke, Brother Akiki shook the dirt on his feet and hurried to the master's house step by step.

Seeing that the people were walking away, Gejia Zhuangzi was still looking over there in a daze, until a gust of wind blew with the smell of earth, then he shivered, tightened the clothes on his body, turned around slowly, lowered his head, bent his waist, and let out a sigh from his mouth from time to time.

That night, the news that Wang Zhuangzi cultivated the land for a few days a day spread in Gejia Zhuangzi, and the people on Gejia Zhuangzi did not believe it at first, but those who had such a good thing actually lit torches in the middle of the night to look at it, waiting to see it with their own eyes, and then came back to say it again, which caused a big sensation.

Ge Yingxi also heard about this at night, and he didn't believe it either, so he ordered the housekeeper to figure things out.

Early the next morning, the villagers got up again, Ge Yingxi also took the housekeeper to eat early and went out, and when he came to the side of the small bridge that belonged to his own house, he stopped, stopped and watched, and after seeing it, he was surprised.

Wang Zhuangzi didn't know where to get so many cattle and horses, and there were many people on his Zhuangzi side to pull the plow.

"Master, you see, the people on the Wang Zhuangzi side don't seem to be cultivating their own crops, just like the autumn harvest, and also, look at the plough over there, why do I look different from what we are used to?" Ge Zhuang's housekeeper pointed to Ge Yingxi with his finger.

Ge Yingxi's eyes are not as good as the housekeeper, look over there, can't see what the plow is like at all, the way to work together is clear, think about it, and say to the housekeeper: "Tell me to go down in a while, Ge Zhuang will also learn from that side, put people together, and I'll go over and see the plow." ”

The housekeeper took the order and left, and Ge Yingxi walked across the small bridge alone as if looking at the scenery, and walked that way, his eyes fixed on the plow, trying to see more clearly as he approached.

Before he could see it, a person came over there, and greeted him from afar, "Ge Muramasa, why are you free today, walking here?" ”
