Chapter 239: Daily
After talking about the shop.
Then, Zhao Fuxiang was concerned about the affairs of Zhao Shanlin's family.
First of all, there is the problem of the newly leased land.
There is no way, the people take food as the sky, and for ordinary farmers, no matter where they live, food is very important.
"Rice, it must be planted, if you don't plant it, I'm afraid that the food left at home will not be enough," Zhao Fuxiang looked at Zhao Shanlin and a few people, and continued, "As for the dry field, although I missed the time to plant grain, it is best not to be empty in these months, you can plant whatever you want, and it is better to have a harvest in the field than to be idle." β
Originally, in the south where they were located, paddy fields would be more popular than dry fields, especially in the south, due to the influence of temperature, rice can even be harvested three times a year, which leads to more intensive grain production, relying on the rice income of the paddy fields at home alone, you can fill your stomach, Zhao Shanchuan is not worried about any accidents.
"Dad, I'm going to plant some vegetables in the dry field," Zhao Shanchuan told Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Shanlin about the plan again, "At present, the labor at home is too small, and we missed the planting time of soybeans and grains because of the famine, so I thought, let's get alive this year, and wait for March and April of the next year, the dry fields will be planted with soybeans, peanuts, grains, wheat and other things." β
Zhao Fuxiang listened, and also felt that Zhao Shanchuan's approach was good, not to mention, the maturity period of planting vegetables is earlier than that of grain, taking advantage of these months, green vegetables can at least be planted with a few stubble, and it is not as troublesome as food, which is a good way.
"But they all grow vegetables, after all, you can't eat them as food, and you can't just grow the same, and you have a bit of a calculation in your heart," Zhao Fuxiang followed with a meal, and at the same time mentioned a few other people, "Not only the second child, but you are also the same,"
"I just split the family, I have the responsibility of being the head of the family, it's okay, think about it more, although it was a little hard at the beginning, but you don't all have money and livestock in your family, you should use it when you should use it," In this era, livestock is a good labor force, and in a sense, the role of livestock is far more important than people.
With Zhao Fuxiang's suggestion, even if Zhao Shanlin and the others thought differently in their hearts, they all nodded in unison and did not refute.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Coming out of Zhao Fuxiang's house, Zhao Shanchuan walked slowly on the way home, still thinking about what had just happened.
Passing by a small road, before I could enter the house, I suddenly heard people on both sides of the neighborhood discussing the matter of renting fields and homesteads.
"Hey, did you hear that? Over there, it was the old Xie family who came with us, who didn't even build a house together, saying that they wanted to save money to build a thatched house by themselves."
"He, it's not just them, the two families next door to us are learning together, saying that they want to buy wood by themselves and do it themselves, and they don't want to cheapen their own money to the construction team in the city,"
"Snort, a bunch of stupid people, what do they know, hire a construction team in the city, they don't have to worry about anything, not only can they build six beautiful blue brick and tile houses, but they also have to work hard and move their hands with side houses,"
"Right now, we've just divided the fields, but there are still a lot of fields waiting for us to plant,"
"Yes, who said no, this person, I don't understand the account, I still think, when the time comes, add a few taels of silver to build a well, although our village entrance is close to the river, but it is too troublesome to always fetch water back and forth,"
"Yes, yes, yes, I also plan to do this, we have fled and suffered a big crime, if we are tired now, how will we live in the future,"
"I've heard that some people plan not to grow food this season, and want to buy it from the city with pure money, saying that the food in the city is only 80 yuan a stone, and one stone can be saved to eat, and a family can eat a month."
"Why don't you grow food, won't it be wasted if the ground is empty, and I'm going to plant some greens that I'm talking about,"
"It's okay to plant some, at least the vegetables you eat at home don't worry, but this thing, you can't plant too much,"
"yes, haha, ridiculous dead,"
"You don't know, there are still people who want to listen to Lizheng's words and grow vegetables and sell them for money, who will buy them? You can eat it in the mountains."
ββ¦β¦β¦β
There are a lot of such words, because of the temporary residence, every household lives close, and Zhao Shanchuan also listens to it sincerely.
Frowning, he glanced at the closed courtyard gate opposite, and did not make a sound, but bypassed these gossiping people and turned his head into the courtyard.
As a result, as soon as I looked up, I saw the three sisters and brothers of Zhao Yu playing in the yard.
Zhao Yu saw her father Zhao Shanchuan coming back, and shouted at the house with a smile, "Mother, my father is back,"
In the house, Yuan Shi listened to the busy answer, and then, she poked her head out and waved her hand at Zhao Shanchuan, "Master, the meal is ready, rest quickly, and eat immediately." β
Zhao Shanchuan grinned, while not forgetting to close the courtyard door, and at the same time led Zhao Yu's three children to the house.
"Boss, how do you arrange these two days?" Yuan Shi served the freshly cooked meal on the table, and did not forget to ask Zhao Shanchuan what to say.
Zhao Shanchuan stretched out his hand to carry the children of the family to the bench, and talked back to Yuan, "You rest first in the past two days, and I will go to Lizheng tomorrow to get the seeds to be planted, and after two days of germination, we will drive the family's ox cart to plant the land,"
"The house is there, Li Zheng said, because we chose the official house, Li Zheng will arrange it uniformly when the time comes, as long as the construction team in the city is determined, he will come over to build the house immediately,"
"When the time comes, we only need to add four or five hangs of silver and dig a well, and the rest will be done sooner or later."
"I estimate that in just one month, our family will be able to move out of this temporary residence and live in a new house."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shanchuan and Yuan glanced at each other and smiled happily.
The new home, only the new home of their family, is simply too exciting.
"By the way, when I go to the city, I will wait until I am busy with the fields at home,"
"When the time comes, my mother will also go, so we can go over together."
"Well, that's fine," Yuan pulled his apron and sat down.
The meal was served, and the people began to eat.
After eating, Zhao Shanchuan did not rest, but carried a sickle and a basket, took Zhao Yu and a few small ones, and went to the newly divided field to weed.
Yuan stayed at home and sorted out the bits and pieces that his family had received when they split up yesterday.
Because it was too messy, Yuan needed to sort it all out, and when the time came, he moved to a new house so that he could put it in.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Outside Meadow Village, Zhao Shanchuan took Zhao Yu's three children to drive the ox cart on the road slowly, and when they met the villagers, they all smiled and said hello.
Soon, one big and three children came to the edge of the dry field that their families shared.
After parking the ox cart, Zhao Yu and the three children jumped out of the ox cart and went to dig wild vegetables with the basket on their backs.
In the field, the wild vegetables that no one takes care of grow extremely lush, looking at the water spirit, Zhao Yu is digging and selecting good ones, all of which are placed in his back basket.
Zhao Shanchuan on the side was even busier, he directly drove the ox cart all over the fields and cleaned up all the weeds that emerged.
It wasn't until it got dark that the group returned home in an ox cart.
Temporary shelter halfway up the mountain.
Yuan had already prepared dinner and was sitting in the hall waiting for the four of them to come back.
Bang Dangβββ
Hearing the movement outside the door, Yuan stood up suddenly, scooped up the warm water, and waited for the four of them to come in to wash and eat.
Because there are no chickens and ducks at home for the time being, the wild vegetables dug up by Zhao Yu are used to eat, or dried vegetables for autumn and winter to eat.
Yuan casually put the wild vegetables aside, planning to wash them out and dispose of them when he was not busy.
After dinner, after taking a bath, everyone lay down in the warm quilt and went to bed early.
Although the family is very busy at the moment, everyone has their own work, and they are all for the future of the family, and they are busy with the expectation of a new life, and they will not feel tired.
Time flew by in a flash, and it came directly to mid-to-late June.
During this time, Zhao Shanchuan and Yuan also planted their family's fields.
The construction team on the other side of the house was also set, and the construction team was building the house at this time.
Zhao Shanchuan also made time, and after discussing with the Li family, he set to go to Qingping County early in the morning of June 20.
