Remember!

Shallot looked at the mother, and then looked at the loach, a little hesitant!

After thinking about it, she took out a small basket made of green water straw from the pocket on her chestβ€”it was made by Chrysanthemum just now by the pond, and it had been squeezed flatβ€”and handed it to the loach, and then leaned in to touch the loach's buttocks, patted it gently, and said "hehe" twice in her mouth.

Chrysanthemum understands what her daughter means, this is comforting people. Little thing, slap a sweet date, who did you learn it from?

But the loach looked at the flattened basket, and couldn't look down on it at all, so he didn't throw it away, but frowned and pinched it with two fingers, only looking at the shallot.

Chrysanthemum saw that it was funny, so she took out a little ragdoll cat wearing a hat and vest from her cloth pocket, replaced the braided puppy on Xiao Shallot's hand, returned it to the loach, and touched his head.

In the end, it was the little baby, the loach got the puppy, but he looked at the cat in the shallot's hand with a blank eye.

Chrysanthemum hurriedly said to the grapes: "Grape, you have another one, use it to send loaches to play." ”

Grape hurriedly took out the chestnut little Ragdoll cat, wearing the same hat and vest, but in a different color, and stepped forward to give it to the loach.

Loach suddenly smiled, hugged the puppet tightly in his arms, stuffed the puppy in his other hand into Xiao Shallot's arms, and said crisply: "You play." ”

After speaking, he looked at the ruddy little face of the shallot, and suddenly leaned up and kissed it, and then laughed.

Everyone burst into laughter, Meizi laughed so hard that she fell to her feet, and Chrysanthemum's heart twitched: The girl was insulted at such a young age and suffered a big loss.

Shallot saw people laughing, and also touched his face and smiled. Fortunately, it wasn't the same as at home, kissing one back - when she was at home, Chrysanthemum and Huaizi kissed her. She wants to kiss back again.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of Xiaoxiu's stiff smile, looking extremely uncomfortable. I sighed inwardly. I think it's boring.

No matter why she was suspicious of herself, it was no fun to stay any longer, so she said to Meizi: "Meizi, go home." I'm going to make lunch. Then he smiled at Xiao Xiu. Picked up the chestnut and turned out of the yard.

Meizi hurriedly agreed. also went with the grapes to hold the baby, and was still saying to Xiaoxiu that he would go to her house to play when he was free.

Thinking about Xiaoxiu's alienation. Chrysanthemum felt very uncomfortable. I didn't think I had offended her, why did this happen?

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and threw the matter away.

Interpersonal relationships are the most complex and difficult to solve, and in this case, you can only treat it as not knowing. If you think that a deep explanation can clear up doubts, you are afraid that it will be even worse.

When a person has no preconceptions about you. Even if you say something wrong, she won't take it to heart; If there is a prejudice against you, the more you do, the more wrong you are.

She was worried about the chicks hatched by Grandma Liu, and hurriedly separated from Meizi and went home, and as soon as she entered the yard, she heard Heipi shouting: "Young grandma, are you back?" Come and see, the chicks are out. ”

Chrysanthemum was overjoyed, hurriedly threw the chestnut on the reed mat under the tree, and smiled at the black skin: "Look at them, I'll come to take a look." ”

Blackskin laughed and said, "Hello! It's out of the way, Xiaojing'er is also here. ”

Chrysanthemum entered the West Chamber, and sure enough, she heard a soft "chirp" cry, and saw that there were two little chicks on the kang that had broken out of their shells and stepped on between the eggs.

Grandma Liu and He were surrounded by the earthen kang, and He was amazed.

When Grandma Liu saw Chrysanthemum coming in, she raised her head and smiled: "Young Grandma, come and see, there are only two of them." I've seen it under the lamp, and there are a lot of chicks in this litter. But it's weird, a few eggs are afraid of dead eggs. ”

Chrysanthemum happily comforted her: "Grandma Liu, it was because of the heat before, and the egg was bad." Now that the weather is a little cold, it is natural to use different methods to serve. Alas! I know that it is not easy, Grandma Liu can hatch chicks for the second time, and she is already better than others. ”

He said happily: "It's Grandma Liu, if it's us, I'm afraid we won't succeed if we try many times." ”

Grape also came in to see it, and said excitedly: "In the future, I will often learn from my grandmother, and when my grandmother tries it, I will too." ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "How can it be so easy." Your grandma knows, and you don't have to, some things can't be made by saying it. You have to learn how to make a fire so that the heat on the kang is about the same as that of the hen. It's easy to do it for two days a day, but it's hard to do it for twenty days. ”

He said: "Anyway, I can't do it, I must have cooked eggs on a kang in winter." ”

Two days later, a few more came out one after another, and a total of six chicks came out of twenty eggs. Grandma Liu and Chrysanthemum were both excited, and they used fifty eggs in the second experiment. Chrysanthemum wants to experiment for about 20 days, which is not easy, and I feel that I would rather waste some eggs than miss the opportunity to hatch chicks.

The peanuts were about to be harvested, this day the chrysanthemum and the locust came to the side of the mountain, looked at the peanut leaves that gradually turned yellow, reached out and pulled a tuft up, and hung a lot of peanuts below, most of the shell surface has been shown to be net-like, only a few are water seeds.

She smiled at Huaizi and said, "It will be done in a few days." Dig now. I am afraid that a lot of peanuts can be harvested in this piece of land. ”

Huaizi nodded and said with a smile: "Are you happy?" ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "You ask nonsense, of course you are happy to have something to collect." ”

Huaizi pulled her to the grass shed in the middle of the ground. When the harvest season was approaching, the Wu family and the Wang family built several straw sheds in the field, and slept in the sheds at night to take care of them, fearing that people would steal peanuts, soybeans and corn.

Chrysanthemum sighed: "Originally, everyone was so poor, and there were really few people who stole things. It's common nowadays. These crops are only safe when they are harvested, otherwise it is not a matter to look at them all the time, and they will not sleep well at night. ”

Huaizi was silent for a while, and said: "When this year's harvest comes up, buy the large barren mountains and wild land in front of you, and then pick some real tenants to move over, and you won't be afraid." ”

Chrysanthemum nodded repeatedly, she was also thinking about it.

When I got under the shed, I didn't see anyone. was looking around, and a person came out of the cornfield, it was Uncle Wang, and he grinned: "I'm still looking hard, thinking about who is so bold that he dares to steal peanuts in broad daylight?" I didn't bend over. When I got closer, I saw that it was the young master and the young grandmother who came. ”

Huaizi asked if anyone had stolen anything at night.

Uncle Wang said: "After stealing it once that night, we built a shed and never came again." Also, there are several sheds, and on a moonlit night, you can see the land clearly by standing on top of the shed; Even if there is no moon, you can listen quietly at night, and you can't escape the slightest movement. ”

Huaizi frowned and said, "Then you can't sleep?" ”

Uncle Wang said: "Don't get in the way, let's change it, one sleeps in the first half of the night, and the other sleeps in the second half of the night." Young master, didn't you tell me last time that you wanted to buy the wasteland in front of you? ”

Huaizi nodded and said, "That's the case, what's wrong?" ”

Uncle Wang said: "How did I see the village chief leading people to compare miles there?" It looked like the man was going to buy wasteland. ”

Huaizi was taken aback and asked, "You don't recognize him?" Not from our village? ”

Uncle Wang shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, it seems to be quite rich." ”

Chrysanthemum was breaking open a corn cob to see if the grains in it had grown full, and when she heard this, she let go of her hand and said to Huaizi with some concern: "Go and take a look." ”

Huaizi nodded and hurriedly walked forward with Chrysanthemum.

Li Gengtian took the shopkeeper Song, and was comparing the wasteland in front of him, while asking, "How many miles does the chief steward want to buy?" This land is 400 acres, and the barren mountains behind it are too unsightly, otherwise it is even bigger, and there are always thousands of acres and miles. ”

Shopkeeper Song replied while looking carefully: "My lord wants to build a garden, more can be done, and less can be done." At least 100 acres, you have to raise some farmers to take care of this garden, and plant some things by the way. ”

Li Gengtian said with a smile: "The Fang family is wealthy. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw Huaizi and Chrysanthemum coming from there, and hurriedly beckoned: "Huaizi, what are you two doing here?" ”

Huaizi saw that the person who came was the shopkeeper of Song, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and introduced the chrysanthemum again. Then he asked hesitantly, "Steward Song wants to buy land here?" ”

Seeing that his face was different, Shopkeeper Song felt strange in his heart, nodded and told the Fang family's plan, while constantly looking at him and Chrysanthemum, guessing what was going on with him.

Huaizi and Chrysanthemum glanced at each other, and felt very bad in their hearts.

If you want to say that this wasteland is everywhere, there is no need to rob it. The problem is that there is a large barren mountain behind these hundreds of acres of wasteland - Chrysanthemum takes a fancy to the cheap barren mountain and wants to buy it to plant bamboo and trees.

The barren mountain is the real wasteland. Unlike the wasteland in front of you, at most it is uncultivated land, as long as it is reclaimed, it is good land for two years, and it always costs three taels of silver per acre, which is considered less, and some places also cost four taels of silver.

And no one will buy that barren mountain, because it is too difficult to open out, and it is not suitable for growing crops, so the price is extremely cheap, about only a few hundred wen per acre.

But if this large piece of land in front is bought, blocking the way behind, not to mention, and occupying the waterway, which brings great trouble to the whole plan, it is almost blocked, then it is not cost-effective to buy the barren mountain behind.

Not to mention, when the trees are planted and the pigs and chickens are raised, the manure will have to go around in a big circle if it is to be transported out. If the land in front of it was bought by the Zhang family, it would be convenient, and the manure could be directly put into the ground nearby, and it would be convenient to open a road to enter and exit, run things, and use water.

But newly, they don't have so much money to buy the land in front of them right now.

The barren mountains behind are not afraid of people's concerns, because even if there are only a few hundred wen per acre, no one will buy them at all, otherwise, the harvest will not be enough to pay taxes.

It's just that what do you want to say, you don't have any money, and you don't allow people to buy it?

Shopkeeper Song measured the expressions of the two of them and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." If there is something very difficult, say it, and you may be able to help in the future. ”
