242 Digging ponds

When the group arrived at the pond, they saw that the villagers led by Miao Lizheng were persuading Miao Jin.

Miao Li persuaded bitterly, "This old pond used to be used to raise lotus roots, so why bother digging it, it's a waste of wages." There is water in the pond, and it is more troublesome to dig up, and it costs a lot of wages. ”

Because of the heavy workload of thirty acres, Jiang Xiaohai asked Miao Lizheng to come forward and invited the good workers of the nearby villages, which were originally leased by the Ning family and the Shen family. Therefore, Shen Changzhi wants to dig up thirty acres of land before winter, which is not a problem at all.

Miao Jin stood on the ridge with a cane, "Dig!" Gotta dig! ”

The two of them argued, and many people helped Miao Li to speak, Miao Jin had a cold face and resolutely did not flinch.

Jiang Xiaohai shouted at the group of people who were arguing, "The owner is here, stop arguing." Let the proprietor judge the judges. ”

After Jiang Xiaohai finished shouting, he whispered to Shen Tuantuan and the others: "I was just pulled to comment on the theory, even if I have a sharp mouth, I don't know how to persuade me, who let Miao Jin, this kid just refuse to say a reason." Miao Li is also kind enough to save money for the owner. ”

Shen Tuan was happy, "Brother Xiaohai, it turns out that you also know that you are sharp-tongued." But what are you going to do if we don't come today? How do you give them a rating? ”

Jiang Xiaohai scratched his head, but he also told the truth, "If the owner doesn't come, I will definitely have to make up my own mind, otherwise, when I make an idea on this piece of land in the future, others won't believe me, and for a long time, the villagers will have to go to the owner for nothing." Then my salary will be hot with it, and the owner originally wanted to have peace and find me to do things. ”

"However, I also know that Miao Li is kind in this matter, but since the owner invited Miao Jin to manage this pond, Miao Jin is experienced, even if Miao Jin can't say it, but the new official takes office three fires, no matter what considerations, I have to listen to Miao Jin."

Ning Nanxing didn't think about it, but Jiang Xiaohai thought about it carefully. Jiang Xiaohai's gaze at Ning Nanxing was silently praised by Ning Nanxing, and Jiang Xiaohai's heart finally fell back to the same place. Jiang Xiaohai won't say it, he has been struggling for this matter all night, and he discussed it with his daughter-in-law for a long time last night before he came to this conclusion. Simply, the two stinkers are still the top one.

When Ning Nanxing and a few people approached, Miao Lizheng brought the villagers to surround him, and Miao Lizheng sighed and said the matter in a few words. "Well, isn't that a waste of money?"

Miao Jin walked over with difficulty on crutches, but was squeezed into the outer circle by the villagers, looking a little embarrassed.

Shen Tuantuan said firmly, "Li Zheng, listen to Uncle Miao Jin, dig it." ”

Miao Jin, who was standing alone in the outer circle, raised his head suddenly, looking at Shen Tuantuan who was surrounded by people, the little lady's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her eyes were very clean.

"Little ladyβ€”"

Ning Nanxing has never refused Shen Tuantuan's decision, but he just digs a pond. Ning Nanxing nodded at the inquiring gaze that Shang Miaoli was throwing, "Listen to the group, dig it." ”

Miao Jin stood in the outer circle, even with a cane, and he was not standing steadily, no one saw that he had green tendons on his hands*. When he heard Shen Tuantuan's words, Miao Jin's heart beat wildly, and his heart seemed to be beating again. You must know that since he broke his leg and was thrown back, if it weren't for the old lady in the family guarding him every day, for fear that he would do something stupid, Miao Jin would not have wanted to affect his family a long time ago.

Later, Miao Jin himself was also numb, and he was doing things without his legs at home every day, he thought that this was the end of his life, but he didn't expect that Shen Changzhi would come over.

Miao Jin thought, glanced at Shen Changzhi again, lowered his head, and suppressed the excitement in his eyes.

When Shen Changzhi came to find him that day, he came alone and asked Miao Jin for water to drink.

Miao Jin refused without thinking about it, leaving only Shen Changzhi with a back.

Shen Changzhi has always been a thick-skinned person, Miao Jin wanted to enter the house, so Shen Changzhi followed into the courtyard, and followed step by step, "Ouch, I didn't see it, you have inconvenient legs and feet." However, if you have inconvenient legs and feet, can you still make money? Can you raise a family? Did you marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Whatever you say hurtful, Shen Changzhi doesn't care about Miao Jin's glass heart at all. Miao Jin's face was so black that ink could drip out. However, Shen Changzhi didn't seem to see it, "I heard that you are a good farmer, even if you have injured your legs and feet, don't you have crutches?" After so many years, why didn't you think about going out to work for others? I think you used to work for a large family, and you didn't have to go to the field yourself, right? Why, the legs and feet are useless, and the brain is also wrong? ”

Miao Jin's face darkened, he knew who this person was. This should be the owner of his Uncle Lizheng, and the rented land in their village is theirs. Li Zheng also said that he recommended him to the owner, but I don't know if it can be done. Miao Jin snorted coldly in his heart, he is already a waste person, who will hire a waste person to do work.

Miao Jin had only heard about it, and he knew that it was good, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible to do it. But Miao Jin didn't expect that this young owner would come to his house in person!

"You don't have to say more, I'm not going."

Shen Changzhi had already inquired before he came, and he also knew that Miao Jin had not been out of his yard once since he came back. It is estimated that someone set a fire, and Miao Jin would rather die in his own house than run out of the yard. In Shen Tuantuan's words, this is a psychological illness.

"Miao Jin, don't you want to find your daughter-in-law one day? Even if you are lame, you can still take care of your daughter-in-law and earn money to support your daughter-in-law. Don't you want to know if your daughter-in-law is still waiting for you to find her? What kind of man is such self-pity? Don't worry, I don't have to be you, the world is big, it's still easy to find a farmer. Even if you are willing to work, I will inspect it for a year, and if you can't grow lotus root next year, you won't be able to get it. Whether you want it or not, you weigh it yourself. ”

After Shen Changzhi finished speaking, he left.

Miao Jin thought about it alone for several days, and finally walked out of the yard.

Miao Jin's father and mother saw that Miao Jin finally walked out on crutches, their backs were gloomy, but they cried with joy. Their son, as long as he goes out, will he no longer be like a living dead?

Miao Jin went to find Miao Lizheng, and Miao Lizheng brought a message to Shen Changzhi, just like Shen Changzhi said, if he can't plant lotus roots in the coming year, he won't need a penny of wages!

Shen Changzhi didn't come over in person this time, but just brought a message to Miao Jin, and Miao Jin was solely responsible for the thirty acres of pond.

This time is the second time that Shen Changzhi and Miao Jin have met.

Shen Changzhi was dressed in white, looking harmless. Miao Jin rubbed his cane, hum, if he hadn't heard those hurtful words with his own ears, he would have thought that Shen Changzhi was a gentleman.

After receiving the order, Miao Li was leading the villagers to disperse and go down to the pond to dig a pit.

Miao Jin stood where he was and didn't leave, nor did he come forward again.

"You're Uncle Miao Jin, right?"

Miao Jin nodded, bent down slightly, and the movement was so small that Shen Tuantuan thought it was an illusion. "Uncle Miao Jin, why don't you explain to Li Zheng and them why they have to dig a pond?"

Miao Jin's lips were chapped, he didn't expect Shen Tuantuan, a delicate and pretty little lady, to talk to him, his eyes were clean, and he didn't look at his crutches at all, as if he was eager to wait for Miao Jin's answer. Miao Jin didn't notice it himself, he was a little nervous. "Because it's the first time I've planted lotus roots, and I learned these things secretly."

Miao Jin did not hide it, and after he finished speaking frankly, he was still standing alone.

Shen Tuantuan was also stunned, but he didn't expect Miao Jin to make up for himself at all.

Without others, Shen Changzhi's tone was a little owed, "Tuan Tuan, I told you a long time ago, this person is not only inconvenient for his legs and feet, but also has a lot of brains. Miao Jin also knew very well what he looked like, and he simply held a shelf in front of Miao Jin.

"Uncle Miao Jin, you don't have to deal with my brother, my brother is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, he has no bad intentions. I'm used to it like this at home on weekdays, and I'm used to it. My brother can talk to you like that, it seems that he doesn't treat you as an outsider. Don't take it to heart. ”

Shen Tuantuan glared at Shen Changzhi, who was open-mouthed, Shen Changzhi still wanted to say something, but Shen Tuantuan glared at him, and he could only touch his nose obediently.

Ning Nanxing didn't say anything, just stood beside Shen Tuantuan, looking at her fiancΓ©e with peace of mind. He didn't understand anything about farming.

Miao Lizheng originally wanted to persuade this person to go back to the village and rest for a while, but Shen Tuantuan still wanted to stay in the sky. Miao Li was unable to do so, so he found someone to move a small stool and let Shen Tuantuan and a few people sit on the ridge to rest for a while.

After pumping water, only a thick layer of silt remained in the pond, which I don't know how many years it had been saved.

"Ahh

"There are fish here, this fish is really big, there are five or six catties here!"

"Fishβ€”a lot of fishβ€”"

From time to time, exclamations rang out in the old pond, but the children were too busy to join in the fun, and they were busy loading the fish one by one.

Shen Tuantuan stood on the ridge of the field, poked his head and looked at the fish in the bucket, the big ones were six or seven catties, and the small ones were more than one catty, and they looked like they had been raised in the pond for many years. "Uncle Miao Jin, you are so powerful! How do you know if there are fish in a pond? ”

Without waiting for Miao Jin to speak, Shen Changzhi took the lead, "Didn't people say it?" He was blind. ”

"Brother! Why are you so annoyed! Why don't you blind one and show me? Shen Tuantuan glared at Shen Changzhi.

Shen Changzhi spread his hands and sat back on the small stool, as if he hadn't said anything just now.

Miao Li was relieved to see so many fish dug up, fortunately he listened to Miao Jin's words, otherwise this lotus root would not be harmed by the fish. "Miao Jin, this time it's the uncle who blames you, it's a loss that you insist on digging a pit, otherwise, so many acres of land will be wasted!"

Six or seven catties of big fish, but they ate everything.

Miao Jin didn't say anything on the side, "Dig deeper." ”

"Okay, I'm convinced this time, and sure enough, people who have learned skills outside are different. It's the first time the old man knows that this kind of field is still exquisite. Alas, had to be convinced. Miao Li sighed and went to work as an overseer again.

Shen Tuantuan looked sideways, "Uncle Miao Jin, congratulations, you have gained a firm foothold." ”

Miao Jin pursed his lips and nodded at Shen Tuantuan, still not smiling.

Miao Jin is very clear that this is just the beginning.
