Chapter 128 The novice plows the land
Because you have experienced similar experiences, you will empathize with each other's feelings. And if the other person has a worse experience than his own, he will have more sympathy.
Chen Youyi is in such a mood at the moment, her life is also tight, but she can finally be called worry-free, because of her self-restraint and unwillingness to owe too much to others, she once fell into a relatively poor life.
And Qin Ziheng is different, he has no choice. Every step he took was under tremendous pressure, and he could only move forward, with no way out.
"It's all gone." In the end, Chen Youyi couldn't express one-thousandth of what she thought in her heart, as a girlfriend, she couldn't even comfort the other party, she could only hold back such a dry comfort, which made her quite disappointed and felt that she was incompetent.
Especially Qin Ziheng's face was indifferent, as if he was telling something else, such a comparison made Chen Youyi feel even more sorry for him.
She didn't know that Qin Ziheng really regarded this past as a story in his heart, and he didn't fall into it, so he was heartbroken about it.
At this moment, except for a little emotion in Qin Ziheng's eyes, the rest were all occupied by the people in front of him.
"You're right, it's all over." Qin Ziheng, the person concerned, seemed to be much more relaxed in the audience, Chen Youyi, and quickly stuffed this past incident back into the corner of his memory, and began to think about the difficulties in front of him: "Let's discuss the current matter, how should we plow this land?" ”
He took the initiative to change the topic, in Chen Youyi's opinion, he just didn't want anyone to feel sorry for him, he was considerate. Even so, she didn't want to live up to this heart, and followed the topic to the ploughing ox and the plough that fell to the ground.
The operation of Renyazi is still very thoughtful, and the ploughing cattle and ploughs are leased, but there are no supporting farmers.
"Yes, they asked me if I needed it, but I refused." Listening to Chen Youyi's complaints, Qin Ziheng unexpectedly broke out an accident, it turned out that there were farmers on Renyazi's side who could be hired, and they were all skilled craftsmen who were proficient in plowing technology.
Chen Youyi was shocked: "Then why don't you hire it together, don't you know that you can't plow?" ”
Qin Ziheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I thought you would." ”
"Me?" Chen Youyi pointed to herself, even more surprised: "Where do you see that I am an expert in labor?" "It's still a scarce job like ploughing.
Qin Ziheng looked at her thin arms and legs, inexplicably a little embarrassed, and didn't understand what he thought at the time, why he thought that Chen Youyi would plow.
Perhaps since Chen Youyi changed his evil ways and lived seriously, all kinds of bizarre ideas have emerged in an endless stream, and most of them have been successful. Over time, Qin Ziheng had a feeling that Chen Youyi was unwilling to be serious before, as long as she became serious, nothing could surprise her.
It seemed a little embarrassing to say this, Qin Ziheng silently swallowed the reason here, bearing Chen Youyi's shock.
"I'll go again, hire someone." Qin Ziheng tried to make amends and correct his mistakes, but was stopped by Chen Youyi.
Chen Youyi, who was still worried just now, was not in a hurry at this time, and looked at the ploughing cattle eager to try.
"It's too troublesome to come and go, and besides, there were people just now, maybe they have been hired now, and maybe they have to run for nothing." Chen Youyi carefully circled around the ploughing ox, and the ploughing ox meekly lowered its head to graze without overreacting. She slowly reached out and touched it.
It was the first time she had touched a live cow, and she had only seen slaughtered beef in the wet market before.
"It's okay if we don't hire anyone, we can do it ourselves." Chen Youyi was sure that the ploughing bull would not suddenly burst out, and chased the bullfighter horns like in the bullring, and began to be in high spirits. Get up: "Who hasn't had a novice period yet, once born and twice ripe." ”
If you drive the oxen to plow the land, even if you are not skilled and learn slowly, you can level the ground in two or three days. Ploughing by hand, on the other hand, takes more time than that. In the end, it is better to plough the land faster than the oxen.
"It's time to come up, it's not bad for a day or two, this time it's time to practice, and one day in the future, we will expand the scale, we will buy a cow ourselves, and then we will be able to plow the land by ourselves."
This is just how casually he said this, and when he said it, Chen Youyi didn't take it to heart. However, Qin Ziheng listened to it and responded seriously.
Qin Ziheng has never eaten pork, and he has also seen pigs run, and he successfully put a plow on the ploughing ox, Chen Youyi wanted to experience it first, of course, no one fought with her.
“…… Drive? The whip was raised high, but Chen Youyi paused for a moment, and it took a long time to spit out a syllable, and he always felt that something was wrong. But she didn't know what kind of sound the cow was going to make, Qin Ziheng had heard it, and after learning to listen to it, she thought it was not good, and the cow didn't react, so she got up as she pleased, and shouted whatever she wanted.
The whip was raised high in the air, and when it was swung with force, the tough braided rope folded in half in the air, whipping into the air with a sharp whipped sound.
The ploughing ox was urged, and there was a movement of Leidan, and he walked forward with slow steps. As the oxen moved forward, the wooden plough was driven, breaking through the surface of the dirt and leveling the large chunks of the soil.
Chen Youyi worked hard under her feet, her ten toes were tightly grasped in her shoes, and her arms, her whole body, used all her strength to barely stabilize the stability of the plow. The wooden plow, which was already very heavy, became an uncontrollable force after superimposing the strength of the ploughing ox, and it could easily drag her forward.
"No wonder it's hard work, it's too strenuous!" Within a few steps, Chen Youyi was so hot that she began to sweat: "I regret it a little, maybe we use a rake to level the ground, and it will be a little less labor-saving than this." ”
Qin Ziheng was guarding on the side, and when he heard that he wanted to replace her, he was rejected by Chen Youyi.
"At least get me over there, or I'll be useless." Chen Youyi pulled the force to the left, and the wooden plow fell to the right, and held down the force to the right, and the wooden plow was biased to the left. With such difficulty, he ploughed a wide path crookedly from one end of the field to the other.
Chen Youyi took a breath, pressed her knees, and sighed, "This is more difficult than I imagined." "If you want to plough all the fields with this technique, it will take twice as long as expected.
"You rest, I'll come." Qin Ziheng picked up the wooden plow and planned to replace Chen Youyi, but was held down by Chen Youyi.
"Let's all rest, it's almost noon, my mother is still waiting at home for us to go back to eat, let's eat first, and come back in the afternoon." As soon as she mentioned eating, her stomach really began to be hungry, and Chen Youyi's heart drifted back.
Mu Xiulian was firmly staying at home, and she happened to add three more young people's meals, and it was not easy to prepare, so she could only agree to be a 'cook' at home. ’
