Chapter 114: The Starting Point of Qingnan Village

Speaking of the little stone, Zhang Yang couldn't help but say with admiration: "Hey! The stone is so clever that the Master likes him very much. He was young and a little naughty and playful, so the master took care of him and let him go home every day after school, write a few big characters in the school, and memorize an article. The kid wasn't ambiguous at all, and it was done quickly. The Master wants to increase his schoolwork. But the stone said that his mother was going to give birth to a baby and wanted to go home early to accompany his mother, so the master let him go. ”

Zhang Dazhuan laughed and said, "Zhao San has raised a good son." Yangzi, you can't let the stone be compared. ”

Zhang Huai smiled and said to his father: "Dad, look at what you said, this reading also depends on talent." Xiaoshi is smarter, why should he compare with him? Yang Zi, just do your best, but don't make things on your mind. Master has long said that studying is not only for the sake of gaining fame, but also for really learning something, so that no matter what you do, you can achieve something. ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "I know this, the master has repeatedly admonished me. ”

He didn't understand much on the sidelines, but he still listened with relish, and he didn't get bored or urge them. The light of the oil lamp was dim and swaying, reflecting a hazy halo on the human face.

The spring night is noisy, and from time to time there are a few dog barks, occasionally the cries of children, and frogs in the fields in the distance; The voice of the flower woman next door also came from time to time, which made the family frown, and they were more determined to move away - this mother-in-law is so much!

The next day, Zhang Huai went to the school, and wanted to talk to Aoki about fish farming with the village chief Li Gengtian while he was out of school, but it happened that he came to talk to Master Zhou, so Zhang Huai and Aoki hurriedly stepped forward to tell him their thoughts.

Li Gengtian and Zhou Fuzi were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they looked at each other and smiled!

He looked at Zhang Huai and Aoki with satisfaction and said, "It can be seen that you two have not read this book in vain, and this knowledge is different from usual." That's a good idea! In the past, in addition to farming, the people in our village relied on natural breeding, and they didn't take good care of them, so how could they harvest a lot of miles? If you say this, I will arrange it down, and divide it into several families every month, and cut some grass in the morning and evening and throw it into the fish pond, and it will not take much trouble, and by the end of the year, this fish must be more than in previous years. ”

Master Zhou looked at these two disciples and was also very happy, and he said, "It's cheap to cut grass this season. It's best to wait until autumn to store some grass or something, because the fish in the fish pond are most lacking in food in winter. ”

Zhang Huai nodded and said: "The residue washed out of the acorn fruit made of tofu is used to feed the fish, I don't know if it will be successful." If it does, I'll feed it with this stuff in the winter. ”

Li Gengtian nodded and said with a smile: "Give it a try when the time comes." Not to mention the pond next to it, the mirror lake alone is so big, and it is really deserted to raise more fish. Alas! It can be seen that we are not knowledgeable enough. Huaizi, Aoki read it well, our village can refer to you juniors in the future, we are all half-cut people in the ground, and we can't do anything. ”

Master Zhou said to him with a straight face: "I don't agree with this. Although this village is small, there are all kinds of people. Even if they have a good idea, if others can't accept it, it will be in vain. With you, an understanding person, sitting here, doesn't that save a lot of tongues? You see, as soon as they came to tell you, you immediately figured out the trick, and quickly arranged it; If you meet a confused and stubborn person, how can you agree? ”

When Li Gengtian heard this, he praised him so happily that he couldn't close his mouth, and said again and again: "Master has won the award!" My family lives in this village, so naturally I want the village to be good. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Aoki and said, "Your father still told me that the bamboo should also be taken care of." I was about to arrange for someone to clean up. Aoki, the master said that the dried chrysanthemums you gave him to soak in water are delicious, and that dried chrysanthemums were made by your sister? ”

Aoki hurriedly replied, "Hello! My sister pinched the wild chrysanthemums back and washed them, steamed them in a steamer and dried them in the sun. This chrysanthemum for soaking in water is half-opened; There are fully blooming flowers, which are directly dried and put in a pillow, which is fragrant and soft. ”

Zhou Fuzi nodded when he heard this, and said, "This wild chrysanthemum is also good, I think it can be made into chrysanthemum tea to sell." You might as well make some this autumn first, and let people take it to Qinghui County to sell it. If it's easy to sell, you can have more varieties next year. ”

Li Gengtian said: "I think it doesn't matter if it can be sold or not, I will have more varieties this year, and it is better to keep it at home to soak in water and fill it with pillows." Wait for the autumn to do something first, let Changfeng and his aunt sell in Qinghui County. If it's easy to sell, we have already planted it first, so we won't be panicked, and we can plant more next year.

Master Zhou smiled: "Look, you're not very planned!" ”

Li Gengtian was even happier when he heard this.

Aoki thought for a moment and said to him, "My sister has already dug up a lot and planted it next to the yard." She specially picked up the densely grown chrysanthemum seedlings and dug them out in several trees, so that the original place would not be missing. ”

Li Gengtian nodded again and again after hearing this: "That's it." Otherwise, all the chrysanthemums in the field are dug up and planted in the yard, isn't that 'tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall,' It doesn't work at all, and it's a waste of labor, it's really 'taking off your pants and farting - it's a lot of trouble. Divide some chrysanthemum seedlings out, and it is necessary to leave some seedlings in the original place, so that it can be regarded as planting more. This kind of chrysanthemum thing is to let everyone make their own decisions, plant what you want, and forget it if you don't want to. I'll talk to everyone at most. ”

After a few more conversations, Li Gengtian took his leave, and Master Zhou led the two to class without mentioning it.

The next day, Li Gengtian took Li Changming, Li Changxing, Zhao Dazui, Sun Tiezhu and others to Xiaoqingshan to plant bamboo, and by the way, he called some daughters-in-law to break bamboo shoots. The Zheng family went to school because Aoki was in school, so Zheng Changhe went.

Although the wheat was about to be harvested, everyone was not annoyed when they were called out to do this shower, on the contrary, they were good for the village because the village chief led everyone to do several things this year, which made them almost see that good days were beckoning to them.

Therefore, everyone was very excited, and there was no objection at all to Li Gengtian's arrangement for each household to take turns cutting grass and feeding the fish.

Li Gengtian was also very happy to see his prestige in the village, and he devoted himself more and more to planning for the village. He carefully explained to the villagers the role of wild chrysanthemums, and let everyone choose whether to plant them or not.

As a result, most of the people said they wanted to plant.

They said, they just can't sell it, and it looks good when planted at the door of the house and next to the yard, not to mention that they can soak in water and drink and put pillows.

This person likes to follow the trend. Originally, this wild chrysanthemum grew in the field, and no one said that it was dug up and planted for the sake of beauty; Now I heard that you can soak in water to drink, fill pillows, and maybe sell them for money, who doesn't dig them?

Chrysanthemum looked at the little daughters-in-law who were digging wild chrysanthemum seedlings everywhere in the field, and couldn't help but smile.

At that time, every household in Qingnan Village was surrounded by golden wild chrysanthemums, what kind of scenery was that?

In the bamboo forest, Li Changxing was digging old bamboo, and said to Zhao Dazui: "Dazui, don't worry about marrying a daughter-in-law this year, right?" I estimate that I will earn a lot more this year. You just wait to hold your new daughter-in-law! ”

The people around listened and burst into laughter.

Zhao Dazui said happily: "That's it." I also feel energetic. We don't dare to say how much money we make, this fish and meat are the same, and we can definitely keep more for the Chinese New Year this year, so that my daughter-in-law can come in and have a good New Year. We don't lose someone's daughter. ”

Zhao San laughed loudly when he heard this: "Hello! Big mouth, this daughter-in-law hasn't entered the door yet, and you're distressed? ”

Zhao Dazui said without shyness: "What's wrong with feeling sorry for my daughter-in-law?" Isn't it something that makes you feel distressed when someone marries you? ”

When Li Changxing and Li Changming heard this, they all laughed non-stop.

Li Changming smiled and slowly calmed down, he thought, where is his daughter-in-law? Why is he also diligent and willing to work, but no one is willing to marry his daughter?

At the same time as the bitterness in his heart appeared, Meizi was crying in front of him, and he hurriedly shook his head to drive the shadow out.

That's a girl he can't climb, and the dog girl treats her like a treasure. Not only is her family poor, but she is also much older, and her mother will never marry her to herself no matter what. Besides, he also knew that everyone in the village hated his mother, who would want to marry his daughter to him?

He couldn't laugh when he thought about this, so he only dug and planted bamboo.

I heard Li Changxing say: "Let's take two years and save some money to marry a daughter-in-law." If you don't marry a daughter-in-law, your big-mouthed son will be born. If our son has a lot of small and big-mouthed sons, isn't that going to be bullied by big-mouthed sons? ”

"Hahaha······" Everyone leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

Li Gengtian couldn't help but be happy. Looking at these boys jumping around one by one, he thought a little about his son, Changfeng and Changyu, who hadn't come back for more than two months.

Zhou Xiaozi smiled and said: "Changxing, you save some money, my daughter-in-law has a few nieces in her mother's family, help you say one then." ”

Li Changxing said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, don't coax people. I've saved up money, and when the time comes, you won't say, 'It's not right, it's not the right age, right?' How old is your niece? Don't drink the milk yet! ”

The crowd laughed again.

Zhou Xiaozi scolded angrily: "You just talk to me, I see that you don't want to talk about your daughter-in-law." Let me tell you, my daughter-in-law's maiden niece is all virtuous, and her age is also worthy of you. Hum! It depends on whether you have the ability to make people fall in love. ”

A boy coaxed: "Uncle Zhou, hurry up and help us say one." I'm so diligent, but I'm a good son-in-law. ”

Zhao San shouted: "When did these male babies have such thick skin?" It's like us back then, honest friends, going on a blind date to someone's house, and not even daring to raise their heads. ”

Li Changxing asked in disbelief: "Third uncle, you don't look like this!" I guess you always showed up in front of the third aunt at that time, and then coaxed her home, right? ”

Zhao San scolded with a smile: "Nonsense! We didn't see each other twice before we got married, so why did we come back? When people are like you kid - mouth like honey? ”

The people who dig bamboo and plant bamboo here laugh non-stop, and the daughters-in-law who break bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest feel funny when they hear it. They broke off some of the densely grown bamboo shoots, leaving only a few stout ones for them to grow. Those stout bamboo shoots are as thick as the wrists of little babies, and they are by no means comparable to the wild bamboo shoots that chrysanthemums break them

Shuttling back and forth in the bamboo forest, constantly startling birds fluttering their wings and flying. I am afraid that there have never been such people in this forest, and it really disturbs the tranquility of their habitat. Clear.
