Talking and laughing, a few people arrived at the ridge of Zhou Xiaonian's house, and Huaizi looked at the carrot nest, and said with a smile: "You have also planted crops for so many years, I don't understand why you are so greedy, a nest of so many radishes planted and the radishes grow up, they can't squeeze out, is it possible that you still expect the radishes to move two steps to the side."

Chrysanthemum and the young daughter-in-law both laughed.

Zhou Xiaonian touched his head and said with a smile: "I didn't think it was too much, I lost more than a dozen seeds in one nest."

Huaizi said: "Then what is the mile!" You can throw five or six in a litter, and it's up to the sky. You lose so much, and when you look back, you can only grow as thick as your little finger, what is the use of seeds, and the carrots are thick and big. ”

The young daughter-in-law smiled: "Didn't we plant this in the first year, and we didn't have a plan in our hearts, and we didn't plant any land in previous years." Now you know. ”

Shallot looked at the green radish seedlings in the field, and raised the wheat seedlings in his hand to take a look, as if comparing the two things, they didn't look the same.

When Huaizi saw it, he hurriedly smiled and said to Zhou Xiaonian: "Let Uncle Xiaonian pull out a radish for our shallots to see, but there are no radishes."

Zhou Xiaonian hurriedly got out of the ditch, pulled a thick seedling, and there was a slender stem underneath, rubbed it on the dry grass, wiped the mud, and handed it to the shallots with a smile and said, "Look, it hasn't grown up yet."

Shallot flashed his eyes, looked at Xiao Nian for a while, and did not reach out to take the radish, but looked at Huaizi.

Huaizi took it with a smile and said, "Come, take it." Thank you, Uncle. ”

Shallot held the finely chopped radish seedlings with her white and tender hands, and said crisply, "Thanks, uncle."

The young daughter-in-law praised her for being sensible.

After saying some words about hoeing and fertilizing, the few people separated and went to work.

Huaizi came to Wang's house in the middle of the mountain with chrysanthemums, Wang Zhong was already waiting for him, and when he saw him and the young grandmother coming together, he wanted them to go into the house to drink water, Huaizi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome." Let's take a look at the potted plant first, and then come forward to rest when it's over. ”

Wang Zhong gave up and led them to the backyard, which was a large courtyard enclosed with adobe for the purpose of raising potted plants, and even the bamboo forest was enclosed in a lot, and there were sparsely placed boxes made of large and small wooden slats, which were filled with soil and planted with various tree roots. Straight or curved, thick or thin.

In June and July, Huaizi took Liu Xiaosi and Wang Zhong to dig up dozens of tree roots in different shapes on the mountain. Postures are inconsistent.

He spent a lot of time pondering these potted plants, and he raised a lot of them, and the rest grew well. Most of them were acorn roots, pine roots, and even a toon tree was dug up.

These roots were planted in simple wooden boxes and placed in the backyard of the Wang family, which Wang Zhong took care of in the morning and evening, and Huaizi often came to look.

Huaizi looked at it and nodded. Said: "In the first month, I will go up the mountain to dig some." You don't have to look for those strange-shaped roots, some small stumps are also good, dig them up and trim them, they look better than the big roots. ”

Wang Zhong nodded again and again and said: "Don't worry, I know some ways now, I see that the roots of the three trees in the yard of the owner are very good-looking, better than mine." I'll look for something like that in the future. ”

After some discussion, I went to the front yard. Chrysanthemums can't interject, feeling that they are far less experienced than these croppers who come to the soil and water, why water early in the morning, bask in the sun in the morning, shade at noon, and drench in dew at night, saying a set of things.

Wang Laohan and his four other sons went out to work. The family is full of daughters-in-law and children, and Mrs. Wang is very happy to see that the young master and grandmother are here, and she is busy letting the little girl pour water.

Chrysanthemum saw that there were about six or seven rooms in this house, but it should still be very crowded, after all, his family had five sons.

Thereupon. She said to Mrs. Wang: "I know that everyone likes to get together and doesn't like to split up. But next year, after raising chickens in this bamboo forest, I plan to build a house in each of the four directions, south, east, west, and north, and each person will take care of one piece, otherwise, thousands of chickens will be scattered in the forest, and it will not be all messed up, so I am afraid that you will have to live separately from your sons. ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "We listen to the young grandmother about this." And that's a good thing. After separation, they are still in front of each other, and it is not far away, how good it is to have a spacious house to live in. ”

Her daughters-in-law were visibly happy.

There was an older daughter-in-law, who seemed to be the eldest daughter-in-law, and under the encouragement of the eyes of several other daughters-in-law, she mustered up the courage to ask Chrysanthemum: "Young grandmother, then the Wu family should be like us, build another house for them to live in?"

Mrs. Wang glared at her, as if she blamed her for being too talkative, and she shrunk her neck in fright.

Seeing that she was paying attention to the Wu family, Chrysanthemum had some meaning of comparison, her heart moved slightly, and said, "I'll see it then." They must also be separated, and the woods over there must be guarded. All the forests that turn back are to be enclosed with walls. ”

After a pause, he pointed to Huaizi and Wang Zhong, who were discussing in a low voice on the side, and said, "The young master will explain to Wang Zhong about the division of the forest, you just need to think about how to feed the chickens and pigs." Giving so many beasts and forest land to your family is also the young master who picked it up because he saw that your family is loyal, otherwise, I would have bought another slave. However, people will change, if you are greedy for some small profits in the future because of your shallow eyelids, don't blame me for being ruthless. These days, you must have touched some of my temper. ”

Mrs. Wang was so panicked that she said repeatedly: "We have the courage to do negative things, so don't worry, although the old woman doesn't have much knowledge, she still knows what is good and bad, and she knows who to follow without suffering and have a good life." Her four daughters-in-law also nodded their heads one after another.

Chrysanthemum nodded and said, "You also saw the troubles in the village a few days ago, and when there are many people, there will be many things." So I remind you: just do your own thing, don't compare with others, the Zhang family will not treat you badly. If I used all my mind to think about what I didn't have, as the saying goes, 'nothing makes a difference', then I wouldn't dare to use such a person. ”

Mrs. Wang agreed vigorously and secretly glared at her eldest daughter-in-law.

Chrysanthemum also means to mention a little beating, after all, these people are still very simple, but they must also be managed well. Otherwise, even generations of faithful servants will rebel against the Lord's house; Properly employed and properly managed, even if he did not sell himself to the Zhang family, he was just as effective.

Now, because the Zhang family built a wing house in the backyard, the pig pen was demolished, and the pigs were moved to the mountains for the daughters-in-law to feed, and the Wu family and the Wang family each fed ten heads. There is only one pig pen left in the house, and two or three pigs are fed, saving the waste of daily dishwashing, pot water, old vegetable leaves, etc.

These things are assigned to them to take care of, naturally they can't be sloppy, and the management and use of pig food and chicken food, and the entry and exit of livestock must be supervised and recorded.

Chrysanthemum is stepping up to teach Heipi and Liu Xiaosi to keep accounts and plan for this piece, of course, the income and expenditure of the field must also be accounted for. She can't be a warehouse keeper herself, she can only take over.

After explaining some words, Huaizi greeted Chrysanthemum, hugged the shallots and went out of the yard with Wang Zhong to the bamboo forest.

Wang Laohan, who was planting bamboo in the bamboo forest, saw them and hurriedly led his sons over to listen to his instructions.

Huaizi instructed Wang Zhong to divide this fifty acres of bamboo forest into four large areas with a cross road in the middle, and the cross road was paved into a cobblestone path; Then, the middle of each large bamboo forest is also divided by a cross road, and a pebble path is paved, so that a total of 16 small bamboo forests are divided.

Bamboo fences are enclosed on both sides of the pebble path to prevent chickens from scurrying around.

In each small bamboo forest, a pebble path is paved for people to enter and exit, feed chickens, and dispense manure; Build a row of chicken coops with adobe, and the hens that lay eggs are fed separately and build chicken coops; A manure pit is set up behind the chicken coop, which is also covered with a straw shed to facilitate the daily cleaning of manure, and the manure pit is covered to save the smell from running around.

In this case, after deducting the area of houses built for those who take care of bamboo forests and raise chickens, each small bamboo forest is close to three acres, and the space for chickens to move should be enough.

After Huaizi finished arranging, he earnestly told the old man Wang: "Hurry up and finish these tasks in the winter now, and find some tenants to help, otherwise, when the bamboo shoots come out next year, it is not easy to work, and it is easy to step on the bamboo shoots."

Old man Wang nodded again and again, and asked when the wall would be built. Otherwise, once the chickens are all moved in, not to mention that people steal them, even weasels and wild wolves will come to bite the chickens.

Huaizi thought about it and said, wait for the spring to thaw next year, and cover it. The main thing is that he doesn't have that much silver at the moment. The outer wall must be built strongly, with bricks and stones, not adobe. Fifty acres of bamboo forest costs a lot of silver.

Chrysanthemum looked at the sparse bamboo forest, and whispered to Huaizi: "Let's take out a hundred taels to build a wall first, peanuts and soybeans can also make up some, this forest is not very good to look at."

Huaizi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Hey! Then I asked Wu Cheng to arrange someone to build the wall, it's going to be frosty, so I have to hurry. ”

After everything was explained, Wang Laohan said, he immediately arranged this matter with his son, found all the manpower, and did it quickly, these days are sunny days.

When he turned his head, Huaizi smiled at Chrysanthemum and said, "Next year, I will plant some fruit trees here, and strive to make this side the same as our doorstep."

Chrysanthemum nodded and said, "It's good over there, there are more people living there." She leaned over and pinched a bunch of wild chrysanthemums from the grass by the side of the road and handed it to the shallots.

Shallot bent her eyes and shouted softly, "Mother!" Turning his head and wrapping his little arms around Huaizi's neck, "Dad!"

Huaizi responded with a smile, feeling that his heart had turned into a puddle of water, this girl is different, he also likes chestnuts, but chestnuts will not give him this feeling; The girl, like her mother, always makes people's hearts soft.

Along the way, when Shallot saw the flowers, she asked her mother to pick them for her, and listened to her meaning popping out word by word, which was to bring to her brothers.

As soon as I approached the door of the house, I listened to the crisp laughter of the little baby in the yard, and it seemed that there were more than two chestnuts and gourds.
