There is still a lot of land that the Wu family has cultivated.

It's almost a hundred acres.

A large family planted rape in these wastelands.

After harvesting all the rapeseeds, the rest of the vegetable stalks are eaten by the people of the Wu family every day, and they don't fall behind three meals a day.

Every day, the Wu family sends nearly 20 men to the riverside mill to squeeze out the rapeseed oil.

Oil extraction is a hard job. Time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In order to squeeze out all the oil in the rapeseed, the men of the Wu family need to squeeze it again and again.

After squeezing it three times in a row, there is no excess oil to squeeze out of the rapeseed cake.

However, it was quite good to give it to the old donkey and the mule at the head of the family.

Because they still contain a little oil in them, giving them to feed them can increase their nutrition.

After half a month of busy work, the Wu family planted nearly 100 acres of rapeseed at home, and even squeezed out nearly 1,000 catties of oil.

Seeing the barrels of oil stored at home, Wu Guifang was very happy and comfortable.

With this oil, they can eat oil every day for 365 days a year.

Although they have a family of 50 mouthfuls, and the oil they eat every day cannot exceed three catties, it is better than nothing.

After the Wu family solved the problem of eating oil, they hurriedly planted peas.

The families who lived in the surrounding area noticed that the Wu family, a large family, was busy from morning to night, from night to morning without a break, and wanted to talk to them, but they were not available, and they suddenly had a blind sense of tension in their hearts.

"What the hell are these people up to?"

"We're pretty much done, why do they always have more to do?"

As soon as Niu Caigao heard his youngest son Liu Sanduo say such a thing, he couldn't help but hit him on the head.

"There are more people in our family than in theirs! But everyone in our family is lazy and lazy. I want you to do more work, but I can't do it......"

Niu Sanduo saw his old father and vented his anger on him, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Dad~, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make holes. Our family doesn't have theirs, can we be blamed? ”

"It's not that our family has no culture?"

When Niu Caigao heard this, he frowned and couldn't help but sigh. Then he thought about it and told him some of the thoughts in his heart.

"Sanduo, haven't you observed that those young men of the Wu family have been running to the county seat twice in three days?"

Liu Sanduo had already heard the words, and his emotions suddenly became a little excited, and his voice became louder.

"Dad, I'm not blind, where haven't I noticed?"

"I inquired about it, and I did it for a while. I found that those boys of the Wu family, every time they go to the county seat, they are mysterious and secretive, and they are very careful. ”

"As I found out later, every time they went, they had a lot of good things in their baskets. For example, two days ago, a group of eight of them, carrying dozens of pounds of goods on their backs, quietly went to the county seat before dawn in the morning. It was midnight at the end of the night, and the group came back in the dust......"

When Niu Caigao heard this, he took a deep breath.

"I don't know much about this, but I can guess it."

Niu Sanduo listened to it and couldn't help but say.

"Dad, you guess clearly, I can see better!"

"Dad, I don't know where I heard a saying before, saying that horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and this person is not rich if he doesn't do business!"

"We are low-level old farmers, who don't have the ability to be officials, so we can only find some ways to do some business and sell some small things that we make ourselves. In this way, we can subsidize the family, so that when the government comes to collect taxes, we don't have the money to pay! ”

When Niu Cai heard this, the wrinkles on his forehead tightened.

"Sanduo, your father and I are not stupid, why don't I know this truth?"

"I want to do some business. After all, the people in the city are so rich. If I could be like the Wu family, have the ability to have a good relationship with the people in the government, and have the skills at hand, then the people of our family don't need to worry so much now. ”

After Niu Sanduo heard his father say such things, he finally understood in an instant why his father was telling him this.

Hehe, he should have understood it a long time ago.

He didn't know his father's virtue.

There is nothing to do, and there is nothing to do in summer and spring.

Something happened to the head of the family, or he encountered some problems himself, he was worried, and when he wanted to find someone to solve it, he would go directly to him.

At this time, he, the father, will regard him as his son.

In normal times, where is he willing to spend time chatting with him?

Normally, he, who is a father, is even more reluctant to spend more energy and pay more attention to him.

Thinking that over the years, her father has only used her, and she has never had the father's love for his son, and Niu Sanduo, who has told herself many times that he doesn't need to care, still can't help but red his eyes at this time, and almost cried aggrieved.

He's uncomfortable.

He felt so uncomfortable.

He sometimes feels like a superfluous person in this family.

Most of the men in the family, especially the elders who were older than him, liked to taunt him. Look down on him.

I think he likes to be whimsical, unsteady, unstable, and frivolous.

Niu Sanduo sometimes really doesn't understand, why are the people in his family so stubborn?

What's wrong with a peasant family like them going out to catch a market and do a business?

Is it wrong to take the extra vegetables, be diligent, run dozens of miles, and earn him a penny or two, or a dozen cents?

In the past, they kept talking about agriculture and commerce. I always feel that as a farmer, I am much better than those who are workers and merchants.

Every time Niu Sanduo thinks of this, he feels that these people in his family are very ridiculous.

Do farmers and merchants have to be nobler than workers and merchants?

Is the life of a peasant better than that of a merchant worker?

Niu Sanduo thought of the days he had lived over the years, and he felt that his stubborn father, his persistence in the past, was not only particularly absurd, but also very stupid.

Now that my father has noticed that the people of the Wu family have become richer and more prosperous by selling some agricultural products, he finally knows that he is greedy.

He finally understood that it would not work if he continued like this.
