Chen Xiaoquan was scolded by the old man, his face turned red, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't been scolded. He glared at Zhang fiercely, it was all this woman, because what she did he couldn't hold up in the village now.

Zhang's hugged his two beaten sons, crying in distress, and he didn't see her husband's glaring eyes.

Chen Xiaoquan walked up to the old man with a hard head, "Dad, don't be angry, the children are not sensible, just teach your son when he comes back, don't let them be angry with you." ”

The old man snorted, "You are at home every day, I haven't seen you take care of them, your mother and I have raised a few of your brothers and sisters, and there is no one as ignorant as them." ”

The old lady saw that her eldest son was scolded, and defended him, "In the village, which kid didn't grow up like this?" What else to do? ”

The old man became even more angry when he heard this, "I said at the beginning, if you don't read well, you will be sent to be an apprentice, you say that being an apprentice is suffering, and others have a skill, I have never seen anyone who has a bad one." I don't want to suffer, right? What do you think he can become in the future? ”

The two of them were scolded by the old man for a while, and they couldn't refute it.

Yanni found Chen Xiaoquan's two daughters standing at the kitchen door looking this way, and when they saw Yanni looking at them, they glared at Yanni fiercely, and Yanni ignored these painless things.

"Grandpa, what about herbs?" Yanni didn't want to see them fight anymore.

The old man looked at Yanni kindly, "Xiaoyan! Grandpa will go into the mountains to dig up herbs and make it up for you another day, okay? I know it's unfair, alas! Your third uncle's family is now going to provide for your elder brother to study, and the family's money is tight, for the sake of grandpa's face, forget it this time, right? ”

Since the master said so, for the sake of the cheap father, he also has to give face, "Hmm! That's okay for the sake of grandpa's face, but they dare to do it again in the future, and they will not be spared. ”

"Okay, if they still dare to do it, grandpa will break their legs." The old man stood up and said, "Let's go, grandpa will go with you to see how those herbs are doing." ”

When the old man and Yanni walked to the field, they saw that some of the branches of those herbs had been broken, and some of the sprouts had been broken.

Fortunately, Yanni found it early, and only two acres of land were partially destroyed.

Yanni treats growing herbs as a career, and if she fails, it's nothing, it's a big deal to start over. But the old man is different, he has great expectations for the cultivation of herbs, so at this time, when he sees the destroyed herbs, he is more heartbroken than Yanni.

"Those two stinky boys, the good ones didn't learn, and the bad ones learned the bad." The old man was heartbroken with herbs, and on the other hand, he hated his grandson.

Maybe it's the farming slack period! During this time, there are many people who have signed up to work, and some of them are from the next county, and they should have received news from relatives and friends.

Because I hope that this road can be repaired before the year, so the workers are still recruited, but they only pack Chinese food and have no place for them to live, but those people are very happy to hear it and say, "The owner only needs to let us work, and we will build a shed on the side of the road to live." ”

Chen Xiaocai saw that the clothes on their bodies were patched and patched, so he nodded and agreed, and arranged for someone to cut bamboo to help build a shed.

Yanni saw that there were more than 1,000 people in the road construction team, so she discussed with Chen Xiaocai whether it was possible to arrange someone to repair the big mountain pond as well.

After Yanni checked the medicine field, she went to the mountain pond to find Chen Xiaocai, "Dad, this mountain pond has more than ten acres, right?" How about planting some lotus root and raising some fish in it next year? ”

Chen Xiaocai was not optimistic, "Alas! How can it be so easy to plant lotus root and raise fish, we have never planted lotus root, if this nearly 20 acres are planted, one is not good, but it will lose a lot. And the fish! I've heard of people who raised fish in mountain ponds and were half eaten by the snakes before they could grow up. I thought about it for a long time, and I thought it was good to raise ducks, so I'll try to raise some ducks next year. ”

Yanni thinks about the scene of a flock of ducks, huh! It doesn't seem to be bad, so let's raise it!

"How about planting a circle of fruit trees around this big pond? Every season we plant some, and our family has fresh fruits to eat all year round. ”

"It's okay to plant fruits, but you have to plant some in all seasons, and it's not easy to find fruit seedlings, so you have to ask people."

After looking around, Yanni's eyes fell on the foot of the hill in the middle of the Cockscomb Mountain, where there was a slightly recessed flat land, although now it looked lush and full of grass and trees, but the area from the foot of the mountain to the pond was not smaller than the pond, if the house was built here, the scenery would not be too beautiful.

The more Yanni thought about it, the more she felt good, and said to Chen Xiaocai excitedly, "Dad, have you chosen the place where our family wants to build a house?" ”

"That's so fast, I haven't been free all day."

Yanni pointed to the foot of the mountain and said to him, "Look, do you think it's good?" ”

Chen Xiaocai felt that as soon as his daughter's idea came out, he couldn't keep up.

He looked in the direction of Yanni's finger and shook his head, her daughter was still too young, and she didn't think about how dangerous it would be for only one family to live on the side of the mountain, "Xiaoyan! It's too close to the mountains to build a house, and this year I heard from the villagers that they saw the footprints of wild boars! Besides, it's not as good as the outside one! The land outside he was referring to was the land that had been opened up at the foot of the hill that he bought for the first time this year.

Yanni, "Dad, don't forget that plan, it will be useful in the future." There are wild boars here, and our family is not afraid of buying bricks, and when the time comes, the fence will be raised high, not to mention wild boars, and the big leopards are not afraid. ”

Chen Xiaocai lowered his head and thought about it, but did not agree immediately, but only said to take a look.

The time soon came to the winter solstice, in ancient times, the winter solstice was very important, and the academy would also have a holiday, so Chen Xiaocai went to pick up Chen Shixuan.

During the meal, Li was also worried that they would have a discord between their brothers and sisters, and they would fight in the future, so they chattered and talked about the big truth.

This time I came back and saw that he was much more relaxed, and when I saw Yanni, I would smile at her, "Second sister, thank you!" In the past, my brother was ignorant, please don't blame him. My father told me about the family, I have worked hard for you, my brother has no ability, but fortunately, he still has some talent in reading, I will work hard to earn a glory for the family, and I will not let people bully us again. ”

Yanni looked at him fixedly for a while, saw that his eyes were very firm, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that you can do this, keep it up." After saying that, she can't be moved by a few words, and if you want her to change her attitude, it depends on his future performance.
