Spring planting hope, autumn harvest full warehouse. As long as you put in the hard work, there will always be a heavy harvest. Of course, those who plant bad karma can only get bad results.

Zhang Er's family originally set out four of them together, digging pits, counting seeds, and burying soil, and they were also very busy. Zhang's second aunt was angry because she was scolded by Mrs. Liu and others, and complained about why God didn't end the frost immediately, so that the Zhang and Liu families had nothing to lose, and at the same time stepped on the dirt pit under their feet.

Second Uncle Zhang occasionally looked back and saw it, slapped her body and scolded, "You are dead, you stepped on it so hard, and you still expect the buds to sprout!" ”

Aunt Zhang was beaten, so she shut up and started her work honestly. After planting two acres of land, the family occasionally goes to the field with their hands behind their backs to turn around twice, and as a matter of course, they wait for God to be good and go home to break bud grain sticks in autumn.

It's a pity that Second Uncle Zhang actually said a prophecy. The sun is changing, seeing that more than ten days have passed, the dry land of each family in the village is already a light green from a distance, the bud seeds have sprouted and grown seedlings, a leaf, two leaves are swishing out, everywhere is full of vitality, a good spring. But Zhang Erjia's field is bare, not to mention the bud seedlings, not even a single weed has grown.

Zhang Er's family was completely panicked, running around the field large and small, and finally opened the soil ridge to see that the chubby rice seeds planted earlier had actually become shriveled, as if someone had held it in their hands and squeezed all the water dry.

Aunt Zhang's second aunt stared at her eyes and cried, "Why don't these bud seeds sprout, is it because our field is too dry, and it has rained!" ”

Zhang Er has been so anxious that his mouth is full of fire bubbles in the past two days, and when he heard his daughter-in-law say this, he scolded her, "It's all you, a loser, you must have stepped on the soil too heavily that day!" ”

Aunt Zhang scurried around with her head in her hands, and scolded back, "I stepped on only a few ridges heavily, and the rest was the soil you buried, and there were no seedlings, so you knew that you were angry with me." ”

Zhang Er had to raise his hand to fight again, but then he thought about it, so he ran to the fields of others for a few turns, and finally invited two good people to come over to help find out the reason.

The two old men turned over the soil ridge and carefully inspected it for a long time, and pinched the shriveled grain seeds, but they couldn't guess the reason, so they discussed with each other in a low voice and said, "Since the buds are shriveled, maybe there is a shortage of water." If you delay it any longer, you will miss the solar term, so your family should hurry up and pick up water to replant. ”

Carrying water and farming is a big project, even if there are only two acres of land, it will take two or three days to be busy. Zhang Er was very reluctant to toss like this, but this was related to the family's food and clothing for a year, and he really had no other way but to do it.

Aunt Zhang's second aunt was thick-skinned, and knocked on the door of the neighbor's house that night, begging her grandfather to tell her grandmother to find someone to help. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and although the left and right families don't like their family, they are not easy to offend, so they drove the descendants of the family to help early the next morning.

The descendants helped the Zhang family guard the vegetable fields at night, although they ate, drank and played, but they still inevitably fell asleep during the day. Suddenly, the elders were taken to help carry water, and everyone was a little reluctant in their hearts.

As a result, Aunt Zhang's second aunt made the old mistake of being stingy again, and everyone was busy until noon, and she didn't even prepare a meal. So the descendants were annoyed, and made an excuse to throw down the bucket and go back to their homes.

Zhang Er finally understood some reasoning, and scolded his daughter-in-law, "You ruined girl, this is to offend the people in the village?" Why don't you hurry up and apologize, and welcome people to our house for a meal. ”

Second Aunt Zhang pursed her lips, snorted twice in her nose, and responded, "If you really invite them home for dinner, it's a loser, such seven or eight half-sized children, one meal can eat our family's half-month ration, I can't bear it!" Most of the left and right fields have been watered, and we can just carry water for the remaining ridges. ”

Zhang Erba clicked his mouth twice, and he was reluctant to give up food after thinking about it, so he glared at his daughter-in-law fiercely and turned to fetch water.

After a busy day, the Zhang family finally planted the bud seeds in the ground again, and then looked forward to germinating and growing seedlings day and night. It's a pity that their family stared at them for five or six days, and the two acres of land were like baldness for many years, and they just refused to grow hair anymore.

Zhang Erfa picked up the bud seeds and came out, but this time it didn't look shriveled, but not even a bud came out. Zhang Er and his wife were completely desperate, cursing the heavens and the earth, and scolding the gods for looking at their family unpleasantly.

The naïve black baby picked up a few bud seeds and threw them into her mouth, and laughed and shouted while jumping and chewing, "It's delicious, salty!" ”

Zhang Er kicked the stupid son on the heel, and finally beat his chest and cried. Hei Wa'er was beaten suddenly, and she was also aggrieved and unbearable, and she opened her big mouth with the buds and grains to howl with her father.

There are not many households in Nangou Village, and the fields are connected in one place, which family has a wind and grass, and it will not take a moment to know the whole village.

On this day, it was time for the vegetable fields of the Zhang and Liu families to be watered. The Li brothers rushed home from the city to plough in the spring, and just after finishing their own few acres of land, Mrs. Li brought them to help Pucao and her daughter's family. Together with Fang Jie, who changed to short shirts and trousers, and looked more and more like a farmer's family, as well as Dong Si and Chen brothers, more than a dozen people gathered in the vegetable field, talking and laughing while carrying water and watering vegetables.

After the baptism of sunshine and rain for more than half a month, several vegetable seedlings planted in the ground have taken deep roots and grown stronger and stronger. The eggplant and pepper seedlings were almost a foot tall, and the bean and cucumber seedlings had already climbed up the wicker shelves with vines.

Seeing that the first batch of fresh vegetables would be picked in another month, everyone was smiling and rejoicing for the Zhang and Liu families.

Chun Nier's belly has swelled a lot as if it was blowing these days, and many old ladies in the village said that this baby must be a naughty boy. Everyone in the Liu family naturally smiled, and Mrs. Liu even sent the chicken stew to her daughter-in-law's mouth every once in a while.

Eating well like this and sleeping soundly, it is difficult for Chunnier not to gain weight. On this day, she also walked around the fields with her, and Pucao was reluctant to let her do work, so she took the peach blossom mountain to drive away the birds. Chunnier likes to be lively, smiling and talking around her mother.

It was the time when they were busy, and everyone suddenly heard the sound of crying in the distance, and they all straightened up in shock, and asked suspiciously, "What's going on?" ”

Dong Si quickly turned the wooden barrel upside down, stood on it and looked at it for a long time, and said with a strange face, "It seems that Second Uncle Zhang is crying, and his two acres of land are replanted twice and still do not produce seedlings, which may be that Xu is in a hurry." ”

When Chun Nier heard this, she clapped her hands happily and said, "It's really God's eyes open, so that their family doesn't cultivate morality, and always touches and does bad things, this is retribution." ”

Mrs. Li slapped her daughter on the back and scolded, "You dead girl, you still scold people for not having a moral mouth, and you don't have a cover on your mouth, hurry up and shut me up." ”

Chunni was scolded by her mother and shrunk her neck, and said flatteringly, "Okay, mother." I don't say it's not possible, I'm fine, I'll go over and see the excitement first, and I'll come back and tell you in detail. ”

After she finished speaking, she picked up the corner of her skirt and ran away, her dexterous figure was like a monkey, and she couldn't tell that she was a pregnant woman who was six months pregnant. Mrs. Li was afraid that she would fall, so she put down the water scoop in her hand and threw it up. Pu Cao looked at everyone with a curious face, so he said, "Let's go over and have a look, it's time to rest after being busy for a while." ”

When everyone heard this, they rushed over like Zhangjiatian. Fang Jie pretended to pat the dust on his body, deliberately walked a few steps behind with Pucao, and asked with a low smile, "But those bags of fine salt have an effect?" ”

Pu Cao blinked her eyes very innocently, and replied with an ignorant expression, "Hey, what are you asking?" I pickled the salted radish with those bags of fine salt, didn't I ask the magpie to bring you a plate this morning? ”

"You," Fang Jie quickly kissed her on the cheek while there was no one around, and said with a smile, "I really don't know where you have so many weird ideas in your head?" ”

Pu Cao was attacked by him, and looked around in shock, and after making sure that no one could see it, he glared, and said in shame, "What, you finally found out that I am a femme fatale, and you regret provoking me?" Hmph, it's late! If you dare to repent, I will sprinkle salt in your field!" ”

"Well, sprinkle salt in the fields? Didn't you say pickled salted radish? Fang Jie raised his eyebrows, his face was full of smiles, and Pu Cao, who was so angry that he felt speechless, pinched his arm hard, turned his head and ran away.

Fang Jie laughed, rubbed his arm lightly and chased after him quickly.

At this time, the head of Zhang Er's house was already surrounded by villagers watching the excitement, and Li Zheng and several clan elders rushed over when they heard the news. It's a pity that everyone is helpless, after all, this field can't speak, and no one can pull its ears and ask why it doesn't grow seedlings.

In the end, the crowd dispersed after two words of consolation. There are those who usually believe in cause and effect, and they still think in their hearts like spring mud, this is the retribution for Zhang Er's family for doing too many bad things.

Two or three days passed in a blink of an eye, and everyone was busy pulling weeds and preparing to open seedlings, Zhang Er actually led an old man with eyes to walk around the field, everyone thought he was looking for a good farmer, and they were curious to gather around to listen to the freshness. I didn't want to, but after hearing a few words, I frowned and dispersed.

It turned out that Zhang Er actually lied and said that the dog leftovers had made a fortune in other places, and they wanted to take their family to enjoy the blessings, but it happened that the rain was small this year, and the buds and grain seeds did not germinate, so their family simply rented out the land at a cheap price for a year, and if they lived well in the field, they would sell the land completely.

The buyer was an old hunter in Wangjiatun on the other side of Nanshan, named Tie Old Man, who was alone. No one knew what he was doing before, but he only knew that he settled in Wangjiatun a few years ago, and naturally he was not assigned to the fields to cultivate, and he lived hunting all day long. Now that Xu is feeling older, he is ready to rent two acres of land, and if he can make a living, he doesn't have to go up the mountain.

Zhang Erkai's price was very low, and the old man saw that the ridge was black and very fertile, so he nodded and agreed.

The people of Nangou Village are very ashamed of Zhang Er to deceive the old man like this, but after all, they all live in the same village, and no one can be the villain to expose the shortcomings of the Zhang family, so everyone avoids it, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and the two do not help each other.
