Chapter 68

"Digging a fish pond? Does the little boss want to raise fish, yes, no problem. "People in the north also eat fish, but few people raise fish, there is generally water in the mountains, there are twelve villages outside the north city, almost all of them are adjacent to the same river, no one knows where the river comes from, but this river undoubtedly brings convenience to the villagers in the twelve villages outside the north of the city, there are fish in the river, when you want to eat fish, everyone generally goes directly to the river to catch.

Of the twelve villages outside the northern city, only the dog shit village has two fish ponds, and the big fish sellers in the northern city are all from the dog shit village, and they almost take over the fishing industry in the northern city.

"Yes, I'm going to raise fish." Fish are a good thing, and she doesn't just want to build a fish pond to raise fish, she won't build just one.

Two hundred and fifty feet, a straight line was dug for marking, and fifteen people scattered and began, picking up hoes and starting to dig the earth, as long as they were within two hundred and fifty feet, they dug whatever they wanted.

"Little boss, just fifteen of us digging the fish pond, it will take a few days to dig it well."

"It's okay, you dig first, and I'll send someone when the time comes." Ye Lan smiled, "Dig deeper, in addition to making fish ponds, I also want to save some water, so that if there is a dry day, I can also save the emergency." ”

"The little boss is really far-sighted, but we haven't had a drought here."

"Yes, there is always water in the river outside our village, which is enough for us."

"It's good that there won't be a drought, but you have to dig anyway, just dig bigger and dig deeper, maybe there will be other uses in the future." Ye Lan smiled.

Hearing Ye Lan say this, everyone naturally has no opinion, the soil on the ground is a little hard, not so easy to dig, just like opening up the wasteland, fifteen men worked hard to dig it up.

Wang Da and they picked up dung and water according to Ye Lan's request, Ye Lan showed Wang Da how to match, they had already splashed it once before, some of them had some experience, plus Ye Lan explained, everyone carried a bucket to splash dung, not as curious and surprised as the first time.

By the time the work was finished, the dung had been splashed in the field, and Ye Lan asked Li Da and them to go to the mountains to cut things, so that they would take it back to make a vegetable shed, and according to her requirements, they would all be done, and they could make a vegetable shed tomorrow.

The next day, Ye Lan asked twenty people to make a vegetable shed with her, and thirty people continued to go up the mountain to cut trees and bamboo, and cut more trees, and after cutting back, they were treated like the first day, and the rest of the people all went to dig fish ponds.

Because no one has ever done a vegetable shed, the twenty people who make a vegetable shed are a little confused, and Ye Lan has only seen others do it, so she will first let people cut down some bamboo and trees to come back, and do the first test first.

Let her grow vegetables is no problem at all, but let her engage in greenhouses, in fact, there is still a lack of practical experience, as a result, at the end of the day, she is sweating profusely, covered in mud, but after discussing with everyone to find a way, the greenhouse shelf finally set up, although only a little, but found a way, congratulations.

In the next few days, Ye Lan built a vegetable shed with everyone, and made herself covered in mud every day, although it looked a little wild child, but it felt great to be close to the soil, seeing that she didn't care about the sludge on her body, and accidentally broke her hand and smiled, those men who came to do things for Ye Lan unconsciously changed in their hearts, what kind of things did they experience, this such a child can stand up and shoulder a family responsibility, on the one hand, because she is the boss respects her, and on the other hand, because she cherishes her at a young age, in short, a few days, Ye Lan found that everyone was much closer to her from the heart, and this change made her feel very useful.

After more than half a month of hard work, finally, fifteen vegetable sheds are all done, during this period Ye Lan also transferred manpower, will be planted well and corn land twice splashed water and a dung, more than half a month has passed, after the corn insects in the corn field were eliminated, the remaining corn unexpectedly grew again, the vegetables in the field also out of the green seedlings, it looks very gratifying, as for the piglets, chickens and ducks at home, Jinhua carefully waited, have grown a lot, the gratifying thing is that she carefully took care of the eggs, hatched well, and in a few days, the chicks inside will break out of the shell.

Everything is developing in a good direction, although she will be very tired and dirty after going home every day, but the smile on Ye Lan's face is getting brighter day by day, she likes the fragrance of the earth, because of her work, in just over half a month, her little arms are thicker, and her body is much stronger.

As for Qiao Zi, she was shocked when she saw Ye Lan covered in mud from the beginning, and now she is very calm, every day when her daughter comes back from the field, she boils water to bathe her daughter, then changes her clothes, and washes off her dirty clothes.

When Ye Lan worked hard for the vegetable shed, the workers who dug the fish pond also worked hard, half a month down, the fish pond has begun to take shape, now as long as it is dug deeper, when the fish pond procedures, Ye Lan chatted with the village chief and accidentally learned that the ownership of the vacant land around the village can also be bought, she is now using basically vacant land, and the north is mostly vacant land, so Ye Lan gave the village chief a little benefit, and bought the land around the fish pond at a very low price.

In this way, almost half of the land owned by Splendid Village has become Ye Lan's private ownership, and she can develop it at will, because Ye Lan's arrival has brought great changes to the lives of the villagers, as the village chief, he is still very happy to see that everyone's life is getting better, although the village chief's family has no labor force to work for Ye Lan, but Ye Lan usually does not forget to honor him, so the village chief this time really symbolically received some money from Ye Lan and sold the village land to her, and Ye Lan gave him a red envelope, and he also took it out to communicate with the relationship and went to the government to go through the formalities.

Ye Lan knew that the village chief used the red envelope he gave him to communicate with him, and after the land ownership was changed, she quietly gave the village chief a red envelope.

When the village chief saw Ye Lan like this, the smile on his face increased, and when he saw Ye Lan, he was as affectionate as he saw his daughter, and he also played a package ticket, so that Ye Lan could find him if he had something to do in the future, as long as he could do it, he would definitely do it.

can have a good relationship with the village chief, Ye Lan naturally likes it, and handed over an olive branch of friendship to the village chief, and took it.

After all the vegetable shed shelves are done, it is to cover the shed, although the linen cloth is not valuable, but the number is more, the money is more, see Ye Lan take the linen cloth as the roof of the vegetable shed, everyone is a little distressed, these fifteen greenhouses, if all the linen cloth is made, how much more will it take?

Because she didn't know what the effect of linen as a roof washer was, Ye Lan first took out dozens of linen cloths, covered a greenhouse with linen, and prepared to observe for a few days, and then determine whether the greenhouse should be roof with linen cloth next.

After working for so many days in a row, everyone was a little tired, so Ye Lan decided to take a day off for everyone, let everyone take a break, and take a rest for herself.

"yes, it's great to be able to rest tomorrow." As soon as they heard about the break, the workers who signed a long-term contract with Ye Lan immediately cheered and took paid leave, this is the first time they have enjoyed this treatment, as for the short-term workers, if they don't go to work tomorrow, it means that they will have one less day of income, compared to the long-term workers, they are not so happy, and they even consider whether to sign a long-term contract with Ye Lan.

When people were lucky, even God came to help, as if they knew that Ye Lan wanted to try the effect of linen, and after letting the workers get off work, Ye Lan found that as the sky slowly darkened, the temperature also dropped, and the wind slowly increased.

After nightfall, there are two big candles lit in the bedroom, Ye Lan sits on the kang to summarize the day's work and record the workers' performance today, so that she is more satisfied that no worker has been particularly lazy so far, everyone is more conscious, occasionally tired and rests for a while, but will return to work.

In the final analysis, the people here are more simple, plus Ye Lan is also good to everyone, and she does not treat everyone badly, people's hearts are long, such a good boss, everyone wants to work hard to repay the boss.

Qiao Zi was bored with embroidery, listening to the whirring sound outside the window, she couldn't help but put down the needle and thread in her hand and opened the window a crack.

"Wow, it's so windy outside."

Only such a crack blew the lights of the two candles in the room to be extinguished, Ye Lan hurriedly blocked the candle in front of her with her little hand,

"Mother, close the window, it will blow out the candle."

"Okay." Qiao Zi immediately closed the window, and the light in the room stabilized again, "Lan'er, you see that it is so windy outside, you just laid out the vegetable shed today, will the linen cloth be blown everywhere." ”

"I'll find out tomorrow morning, and I'll be in the fields in a moment."

"What are you doing in the fields so late?" Qiao Zi looked at Ye Lan in surprise.

"While it's windy outside, I'll go and see how it feels to stand in the vegetable shed?" Although the linen cloth is also breathable, Ye Lan doesn't want it to be too breathable, otherwise it will not have to die of cold in winter, so what's the use of building her own vegetable shed, when the time comes, the vegetables will be frozen to death, then she won't be able to grow vegetables in winter.

"It's so dark outside, it's too dangerous for you to be alone, I'll go with you." Qiao Zi originally took off her coat, but when she heard Ye Lan say that she was not at ease when she wanted to go out, she wanted to accompany her.

"No need, you're at home, I'll just go alone, it's so dark outside, and you're not used to it, I'm going around every day, and I'm fine with my eyes closed."

"Lan'er, you dislike your mother." Qiao Zi looked at Ye Lan sadly.

"Nope." The corners of Ye Lan's eyes twitched, ignoring Qiao Zi's complaining face, "Isn't it very comfortable to stay at home, what are you going to do with it?" ”

"You just dislike your mother, you don't think your mother is useless, you don't think your mother can help you, otherwise how can you not let your mother do anything, you are actually disgusted with your mother, and you are worried that your mother will cause you trouble and help you, right, so you don't want your mother to do it, right?" Although her daughter is sensible, she is so sensible that she doesn't let herself do anything, Qiao Zi feels that she is a pitiful worm who can only rely on her daughter, and this feeling makes her very uncomfortable.

"Does Ye Lan dislike her mother, doesn't her mother know in her heart, since her mother wants to go, it's okay to go, I won't stop you." Not accustomed to Qiao Zi's tone and expression, Ye Lan opened her eyes and relieved.

"Okay." Qiao Zi agreed immediately.

The two mothers and daughters waited until almost midnight, feeling that the wind outside had reached a limit, Ye Lan put the candle in the lantern, made two, and Qiao Zi carried one out the door.

As soon as I walked to the yard, I felt that the wind was blowing as if I couldn't stand steadily, this wind felt a little different from usual, Ye Lan wrapped her clothes and asked Qiao Zi,

"Mother, are you cold?"

"It's not cold." Qiao Zi shivered silently, in fact, she still felt a little cold, especially at night, there was no moon or stars, it was black at a glance, but only she and her daughter were carrying a lantern in their hands, this feeling is really not something that people can admit.

"Then let's go."

"Okay." Listening to her daughter's calm words, Qiao Zi suddenly felt that she might really be holding back, she couldn't even compare to her daughter, and she wanted to ensure her daughter, it was really a worrying thing, thinking like this, Qiao Zi felt a little bolder, and learned from her daughter to say in a calm voice,

"Let's go."

The two mothers and daughters walked towards the vegetable field with lanterns, the wind was blowing, and the lights in the lanterns were blown crookedly, which seriously affected the sight of the two, fortunately, Ye Lan's night vision was good, and there were no ponds or anything like that all the way, and the ground was relatively flat.

When they arrived at the ground, Ye Lan and Qiao Zi took a turn around the greenhouse, and carefully looked at whether the linen cloth had been lifted, because the linen cloth was thicker and heavier, and the bottom was also pressed with soil, so although there were some places where the linen connection was a little loose, but there was no flying, which was good news for Ye Lan, but it also made her a little worried, if the wind was stronger, she didn't know if it would be lifted off.

As long as the linen cloth does not leak and can keep warm, when the time comes, use a needle and thread to connect the places where the linen is connected, so that it can be strengthened.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong outside, Ye Lan and Qiao Zi entered the vegetable shed again, and stayed inside for a while to feel good, it was very windproof, and it was very warm inside.

Qiao Zi is also a farmer, knowing that you can't grow vegetables in winter because the temperature is low, the vegetables will freeze to death, and when she walked into the vegetable shed and found the difference between the warmth inside and outside, she suddenly sighed that her daughter was smart,

"With this vegetable shed, it is really possible to grow vegetables in winter, Lan'er, you are so smart, I am really proud of you."

Ye Lan smiled confidently, "As long as the linen cloth does not leak rain and does not lift up, I will definitely be able to grow vegetables in winter." ”

"Mother believes in you." The daughter confidently infected Qiao Zi.

The two of them stayed in the field for a while, then went home with the lantern, and walked to the gate of the courtyard, Ye Lan handed the lantern in his hand to Qiao Zi, and then took the key to open the door, as soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw a shadow in the courtyard flickering, although the speed was very flashed to the side and hidden, but Ye Lan swore that he could see clearly, that figure should be a man.

"Lan'er, why are you standing still?" Qiao Zi didn't see any shadow, and was curious why Ye Lan stood still at the door.

"Oh, it's nothing, let's go back and rest." Ye Lan came back to her senses and guessed if the master was here, she hadn't entered the city since the last time she rushed to the market, and the black face had never been here, could it be that she came today?

"Yes." Qiao Zi fell into the courtyard first.

If it is a black face, there is no need to worry about being discovered, Ye Lan closed the courtyard door, followed Qiao Zi, opened the room lock, and let Qiao Zi go in first, he was about to turn around and enter the room, and suddenly saw a black shadow rushing towards him, almost instantly Ye Lan reacted, this person is not a black face.

The black face will not rush over at this time, and it will not be threatening, Ye Lan shouted, "Mother! ”

"What?" Qiao Zi turned around inexplicably, and the lantern in his hand was instantly snatched.

Ye Lan snatched Qiao Zi's lantern, quickly stretched out in the direction of the black shadow, and when he saw the light, the man subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his face, and with the other hand, he came over to grab Ye Lan's lantern, in his eyes, he was just a child.

"Ah, there are thieves!" Suddenly seeing someone, Qiao Zi was startled, and then immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

Hearing Qiao Zi shouting, the man didn't care about covering his face anymore, and immediately rushed towards Qiao Zi and wanted to cover her mouth, but at this moment, he ignored Ye Lan suddenly stretched out his hand and quickly put him on his waist a little, and suddenly, the man maintained a forward action and couldn't move.

"There's a thief, there's someone." Qiao Zi saw the thief rushing towards them, her voice immediately became sharp, and she screamed and rushed towards the thief, because she saw Ye Lan standing in front of her, worried that the thief would hurt her daughter.

Women can also burst out with strong energy in order to protect their children, even though Qiao Zi was afraid in her heart, she still rushed towards the thief with a fierce face, but she didn't notice that the thief couldn't move.

Ye Lan picked up the lantern that Qiao Zi threw away, so as to avoid the fate of the lantern from burning, and looked back at the man who threw him down on the ground and beat the other party and called Qiao Zi again and again, obviously his voice revealed fear, but he still rushed out bravely, and his mood was a little complicated.

When Qiao Zi woke up and rushed to the courtyard, the villagers rushed into the courtyard and saw Ye Lan standing at the door of the room with two lanterns with a calm face, and Qiao Zi ...... With a fierce face pressing on a man, his fist kept beckoning to the other party's face, and with a torch, the other party had been beaten into a pig's head by Qiao Zi, and he couldn't even shout, and Qiao Zi's voice rang out in the whole courtyard:

"You bastard, dare to come and steal us and beat you to death."

"Dead thief, go die."
