Chapter 6: Plough

Jiang Amao didn't know why: "What are you looking for a carpenter to do?" ”

She smiled and said, "Brother, think about it, we only have a few pieces of land, but if we dig with our brother and sister's hands, I don't know how long we will dig it?" I was just thinking, if there is something that can replace artificial farming, will it save a lot of time? You don't have to spend so much time ploughing the floor. ”

"Don't you see everyone digging out with a hoe and hoe? Where is there anything to plow instead of a hoe? ”

"Yes, there must be. I've just thought about it. Jiang Yu'er completely ignored her brother's rebuttal, stepped forward and pulled her brother and brother who were standing on the ridge, and was about to run home with a small basket on her back.

Jiang Amao saw her sister like this, and for a while, she was really stumbling: "I just said that I grew up, what are you doing now?" ”

"Hee-hee, you'll find out later." Jiang Yu'er grinned and didn't explain much.

Jiang Ziming next to him spoke: "Sister, I know, Grandpa Niu in the village is a carpenter, and the bucket of the second uncle's house is still made by Grandpa Niu!" Jiang Ziming obviously could keep up with his sister's rhythm and said.

On the way, I met Aunt He, who also came down to the field with a hoe, looked at the three brothers and sisters who had just come down to the field and hurried home without doing anything, and asked, "Ah Mao, Niuniu, what are you going to do?" ”

"Aunt He, how can you do it?" Jiang Amao asked with a smile.

Doing work is also a local vernacular, which means doing farm work.

"Yes! The field under the western slope was also harvested. I'm going to loosen it up first, and then freeze it when it snows in the winter! "That Aunt He is a well-known hard-working person in the village, so I haven't seen her when she is free.

The three brothers and sisters put down their farm tools and rushed towards the village head cow's grandfather's house. Along the way, when they met people from the village who wanted to go to the fields, the three brothers and sisters also greeted them politely. The population of this village is not very large, and there are only dozens of families.

Rural people are all simple. Jiang Yu'er was fortunate that she didn't have any of the best relatives that those crossing women had met. The relatives at home are also very simple, there are no relatives on the mother's side, and on the father's side, there are only relatives of the second uncle's family. After the father and mother left, the second uncle and aunt also mentioned picking up their brothers and sisters to live together. It's just that my brother also knows that the second uncle's family is not easy, so he didn't agree. Instead, he took his younger siblings and lived in the house left by his father.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, before I entered the door, I could smell a strong wood fragrance wafting out. Come to think of it, it's the village head cow's grandfather's house.

"Grandpa Niu, Grandpa Niu!" Before entering the door, Jiang Ziming, like other children, began to shout loudly.

"Which one?" A deep male voice came from the courtyard.

"It's me, it's me!" Jiang Ziming jumped and ran towards the courtyard gate, shouting as he ran, as if calling like this, others would know who he was. But also, the whole village is like this, so they are used to it.

"Yikes! Two dogs! Grandpa Niu's deep voice came out. It seems that the children in the village often come to him to pick up small pieces of wood or something to play. Children in this era have nothing to do, and being able to pick up a few pieces of wood is also a good toy.

Sometimes, when the elderly are interested, they will help them round the small wooden blocks that are reversed, and the children in the province will hurt their hands.

"Grandpa Niu, I already have a name now. Call me Jiang Ziming in the future! This name was given to him by Jiang Yu'er, and he began to say it whenever he met people. Now many people in the village know that he is already a man with a name. It's no longer like before, it's called Jiang Ergou.

"Yo yo yo! Seeing that grandpa is so old that he doesn't even have a good memory, he doesn't remember this. "Grandpa Niu is a very kind old man, and it is no wonder that the children in the village like to run to him. If he had any errands, the village kids could help him with it.

When Jiang Yu'er's brother and sister came in, they happened to see Grandpa Niu muttering something to his younger brother.

"Hello Grandpa Niu!" After the brother and sister came in, they first said hello to the old man.

"Yo! A Mao Niu Niu is also here! The old man raised his head, said with a smile, and shouted into the room after speaking: "Shengzi, get a stool for your brother Mao and Sister Niuniu!" ”

Shengzi is the youngest grandson of Grandpa Niu, and he is about the same age as Jiang Ziming. The temper follows the old man, and he always smiles when he meets people.

"Grandpa doesn't have to be busy, I came with my brother because I want to ask Grandpa for help!" Jiang Yu'er also walked up with a smile and grabbed a handful of wooden flowers to play with. The strong woody fragrance makes people feel calm.

When the old man saw Jiang Yu'er's serious appearance, he also knew that there should be something going on with their brothers and sisters coming over. Shengzi came out with a stool, and Jiang Amao's brother and sister were not hypocritical, but sat down.

Jiang Yu'er told the old man about her thoughts.

"Oh! According to you, the one called the plough can really plow the land? "The old man has been a carpenter all his life, and this is the first time he has heard of this thing called a plow. It's also very novel.

"Yes!" Jiang Yu'er narrowed her eyes and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

"Niuniu, you told grandpa, where have you seen this thing?" Grandpa Niu's family also has a lot of fields, and when he heard that there was such a thing, he also thought that he could make it, and it could also help the family and the village reduce a lot of burden.

"Grandpa, I also came up with it by accident, whether it can be used or not, I will only know if I use it!" How could she be embarrassed to say that she was a pair of plows in her previous life for more than ten or twenty years?

After saying that, she began to use the stick on the ground again, slowly drawing the impression of the plow. After the painting, she still explained why it was like this, and how to use it to save effort. After hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up and he applauded.

didn't say a word, and directly sent Jiang Amao and the two boys to help him move wood. He also felt that Jiang Yuer's idea was really too good to be good.

It is said that connoisseurs will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. The old man relied on Jiang Yu'er's drawings and began to ponder carefully. Throw away the rest of the work and concentrate on the so-called plow.

Two days later, Shengzi appeared in front of Jiang Yuer's house: "Sister Niuniu, Brother Amao, are you at home?" ”

Jiang Ziming was the fastest one, and as soon as he heard someone calling, he immediately opened the door and jumped out: "Shengzi, Shengzi!" ”

"Two dogs!" Katsuko also screamed.

"I see Jiang Ziming!" Jiang Ziming roared very unceremoniously, he didn't know how many times he had said it, these people always called him by the wrong name.

"That! Sorry, I forgot. Katsuko touched her head embarrassedly and said with a red face.
