Chapter 52: The Bond Is Broken
"You know how to eat!" Yun Yao glared at the little hairy ball hatefully, and was deceived by its soft and cute appearance.
Picking up Xueyin from the incubator, Yun Yao scratched its two pointed ears: "This can't be eaten, have you forgotten what we hatch chicks for?" ”
"Oh, that Xueyin doesn't eat, Xueyin only watches." Xueyin's saliva still couldn't help but flow.
What should I do if I really want to eat chicken?
"Okay, the dog won't be delivered until 3 p.m., let's go out first, I want to see where my field is." Yun Yao stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Can she be blamed for this? She doesn't know how to farm, and she can't help if she goes.
However, now that she has moved out of the village chief's house, she can be regarded as a household on her own. People are not obligated to help her farm for free, so how to calculate the salary or say it in advance.
Yun Yao put on a narrow-sleeved skirt that was convenient for work, put on a pair of sneakers under her feet, and pushed open the small door into the courtyard of Li Xin's house.
Aunt Osmanthus was basking in the sun in the yard with Niuniu in her arms, and greeted her politely when she came: "Xiaoyun, come and sit." ”
"No, auntie. I just want to ask, where is my land? I want to check it out. Yun Yao responded politely, and reached out to tease Niuniu, but did not sit down beside her.
Aunt Osmanthus was told a few heavy words by Li Xin last night, and she was a little angry with Yun Yao in her heart, but she took the initiative to move away early this morning, took something and gave her a string of money, and her resentment had already dissipated.
Hearing Yun Yao ask at this time, she hurriedly pointed out: "You go to the west of the village, there is a large field near the river that belongs to my family, and the land of our two families is close to each other, and they should be all here at this time." ”
"Oh, I'll go first, that girl."
Yun Yao waved her hand and walked out of the courtyard door of her house, walked towards the river, and met Xia He after walking a short distance. She was carrying a small basket, and the target was probably a field by the river.
Xia He was sharp-eyed, and he saw Yun Yao from afar, and stopped to wait for her.
"You're going to the fields now?" She glanced at Yun Yao, covered her mouth and laughed, "Be careful of soiling the new dress." ”
"Dirty, wash." Yun Yao doesn't care at all, she has a washing machine.
"Why are you going now?" She asked Xia He.
"Go to the field, my family's land is ready, and today I will sow seeds." Xia He showed the basket to Yun Yao, which was full of buckwheat seeds.
"You're comfortable, there's a big cow brother to help you work, just wait to eat, I don't have a good life like you."
Xia He sighed, turned his head and asked mysteriously, "What happened to you and Brother Da Niu?" Why do I listen to the meaning of Qiuyue's words, it seems that the person Brother Niu likes is her? ”
Autumn Moon? The girl with a "high-class world-weary face"?
Yun Yao immediately thought of Grandma Xuan's mysterious appearance yesterday, as well as what Aunt Osmanthus said last night.
It seems that he is in the way of others. Yun Yao understood something in her heart, but she didn't say it. Xia He is a little trumpet, and as soon as he tells her, I'm afraid the whole village will know.
"It's okay, I've moved to my own house, you can go and play with me when you have time." Yun Yao didn't want to mention the big cow anymore.
Although she likes Da Niu very much, it is only the kind of love she likes for her family and brother, and she never thought of marrying him herself. She also likes Erniu, Li Xin, Xia He and Qingqing, this is not love.
"Why are you moving away, it's not cheaper for others!" Xia He was in a hurry to death, and he couldn't turn around and help her move back.
"That girl in Qiuyue hates it to death, she has a bitter face all day long, as if everyone owes her money, I don't like her to be my sister-in-law!"
"Poof~" Seeing her angry look, Yun Yao couldn't help laughing, "You are Da Niu's father, and you are still Da Niu's mother?" Won't he make his own decisions about his own affairs? Do you need to worry about him? ”
Xia He was so angry by her that she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. "I just don't like Autumn Moon anyway."
"Okay, okay, you keep these words to tell your big bull brother, it's useless to tell me." Yun Yao saw that there was already a large field in front of her, and hurriedly asked Xia Hedao, "Do you know where your big cow brother is?" ”
"There." Xia He pointed to the river, "You go, my land is still ahead, I'm leaving." ”
Yun Yao looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw Da Niu and Li Xin's father and son in the ground. Li Xin led the oxen in front, and the big ox supported the plough behind, and rows of deep ditches had been carved out in the loess.
Yun Yao stepped on it, the ground was very soft, and she walked over with confidence.
Da Niu saw her from afar, grinning and showing two rows of white teeth. "Why are you here?" He reminded Yun Yao as he walked: "Stand away, don't be splashed with dirt." ”
Seeing that his face was much better than in the morning, and his attitude towards himself had not changed much, Yun Yao was relieved.
"I'll see how you farm. Which fields are mine? She looked up and saw that there was no difference between the flat fields and the protruding ridges in the middle.
"This is your land, and my land was sown yesterday." Da Niu explained, "Stagger the time a little, so that the harvest is not so tiring." ”
"Oh, that's my land!" Yun Yao looked around, this piece of land was really big, so big, it was beyond her imagination.
If rice is planted, even if the yield per mu is only 700 catties, 20 acres of land will be 14,000 catties. The same ploughing and labor, but planting buckwheat can only harvest 2,000 catties of coarse grain, which is really not cost-effective.
Yun Yao secretly calculated an account, and felt that it was really necessary to speed up the progress of building a waterwheel.
As he spoke, the ox had already reached the end of the field, and Li Xin had stopped.
"Uncle, please help me plough the land, this season's harvest will be all for your family, just help me pay the field tax." Yun Yao walked up to Li Xin and said something that he had been thinking about for a long time.
2,000 catties of buckwheat, even if only half of it is left, she has to eat her to death, she doesn't want it.
"Where is this? All given to us, what do you eat? Li Xin was taken aback by what she said, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, there are me and Da Niu in the field." That's what we've done in previous years, and it's the same this year. ”
Yun Yao was moved by his simplicity, but still insisted: "Uncle, I'm not joking. If you leave 1 acre of land and don't plant buckwheat first, I want to plant some rice, and leave all the buckwheat in the other fields to you. ”
This time, he was originally helping Yun Yao farm the land, but it has become his own work again, and Li Xin feels a lot more comfortable. But 1 acre of paddy field, hard work, hard work, originally his family also wanted to plant 2 acres of paddy field, now 1 acre to Xiaoyun is.
Daddy was talking, but Da Niu didn't interject, just looked at Yun Yao, and his face sank again.
She only moved out in the morning, and now she came to give away all the harvest in the field, what did she mean? Do you want to break up with yourself?
He looked down and saw that Yun Yao was wearing a strange pair of white leather shoes on her feet, and she was not wearing that pair of beautiful deerskin boots, and there was no trace of bond between the two.
Yun Yao saw that Li Xin was about to continue working with the cow, she waved to the two of them, turned her head and walked back.
I don't know how long it will take for a big waterwheel to be completely built, so it seems that Wang Han must be found immediately. He didn't know where he lived, and if he was in the royal city, wouldn't the road be delayed for more than ten days? At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to sow seeds in time.
Yun Yao thought about it and suddenly became anxious, and trotted all the way home.
Tomorrow, I must go to the town to find Mayor Fang and ask him to send a message to Wang Han immediately, hoping that he can come over as soon as possible.
Yun Yao's temper is a little stubborn, to put it nicely, it is called tenacity, and to put it badly, it is a little stubborn, donkey temper.
Since she wanted to help the people of Xiliang increase their yields, she was bent on promoting rice planting.
Winter is cold, but spring warms up quickly, and although it's only mid-March, the grass outside has already sprouted. If you can hurry up, you should have time to plant two crops of rice, right?
Even if you can't plant rice in the morning and evening, it is better to plant a season of medium rice, which is better than planting buckwheat with a yield of 100 catties per mu.
Yun Yao couldn't wait, and as soon as she got home, she closed the door and went back to the rental house. The time on the road must not be saved, so only I can thoroughly understand the waterwheel construction technology first, so that Wang Han can promote it as soon as he gets the drawings.
She held her mobile phone and didn't care about anything else, she looked at all kinds of waterwheel pictures and videos on the Internet, opened the drawings and looked at them repeatedly, and wrote and drew with a pen in one hand, and there were words in her mouth.
Xueyin didn't dare to disturb her at this time, so she just squatted on the sofa obediently and took a nap. What the master is doing now is important, she knows.
Yun Yao slowly immersed herself in the information of the waterwheel, constantly imagining in her mind, thinking about it and forgetting the time, until the phone rang and woke up.
Strange number, who is it? She answered: "Hey, hello. ”
"Beauty, are you at home? I'm downstairs from your house. A man's voice.
"Who are you?" Yun Yao's mind was still confused.
"You bought the dog, right? I'm an honest kennel. ”
Oh, I remember, the puppy is home today. Yun Yao hurriedly said: "Come up quickly, I have a bad leg, so I won't go downstairs to pick you up." ”
Hearing that she had bad legs and feet, the man had to hang up the phone and carry the cage upstairs.
"Ding Dong Ding Dong", the doorbell rang, and Yun Yao hurriedly went over to open the door.
"Hello, it's Yun Yao, right?" A man in his thirties carries a delicate dog cage in his hand and a large bag behind him.
"yes, that's the dog I bought?" Yun Yao still has 7 minutes to go, but she has time to take a closer look.
The dog was only 1 month old, with short earthy yellow hair, a bald black mouth, a thin little tail sandwiched between the two hind legs, his body trembled slightly, and his mouth made a pitiful whining sound, and he looked stupid.
"You're a hound?!" Yun Yao almost picked up the cage and smashed it in the face of the dog owner.
Just this little thing, can it help people hunt?
