Chapter 125: Fly
"This is, once I went back for so many days, it's no wonder that my mother is not angry. But the mother's family is rich, and the family has this confidence, it is estimated that the mother feels that this daughter-in-law is not easy to manage, so she is angry. You say, will the third child have an opinion on his mother?" Zhu Er felt a little strange, such an important matter, but Zhu Er was busy fishing all day and didn't care at all.
Anyway, that's also the daughter-in-law of the third child, and the third child doesn't care?
As a brother, he shouldn't discuss his brother's mother-in-law, but Zhu Er also thinks that if his mother-in-law's family can have the money of the third mother-in-law's mother-in-law, he is also willing to "swallow his anger".
His father has been "angry" with his mother all his life, so didn't he come over anyway?
As long as I can bear him a son.
"Since you were a child, when do you think you have ever figured out the third child?" asked Zhu Da.
Zhu Er stopped squeaking.
Don't look at them as brothers, but the eldest brother and the third brother are not in harmony, he knows it in his heart.
He likes to follow his eldest brother, naturally to save trouble and use his brain less.
As for why the third brother likes to take the following younger brothers to "go against the other" with the eldest brother, he knows a little bit, doesn't he just think that he and the eldest brother are "too stupid" and will only work with their heads bored?
But how did they know that if he and his eldest brother didn't work, where would they get that stutter?
While disgusting him and his eldest brother for being "stupid", he is still eating the food he and his eldest brother grow, and he is really thick-skinned.
Zhu Da was silent for a long time and said, "What my mother said is right. ”
Zhu Er asked, "What words?"
"Dad only has a few acres of land, we have so many brothers, not even one acre for one person, if we don't find some other way out, everyone will only starve to death. ”
Zhu Er: "......"
He fell silent.
But what else would they do besides farming?
When he raised his eyes and saw the fishing nets in the yard, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Big brother, you say, we are the same as the third child, how about fishing? The mountain is so big, let's go to a farther place to hunt, just don't fight with them. We are brothers, and they don't want to give this little face?"
"Sell to whom?"
"Sell to people in ten miles and eight towns, the third child is only three people, can they sell all the people in ten miles and eight towns? Definitely not, then we will go a little farther and sell to people farther away." I can't do it, isn't it harder than farming? As long as you work hard, you can definitely catch fish. ”
"It's almost winter, and it won't be long before you go into the water. ”
"It's the same with farming, and in winter, there's no way to plant it. ”
......
Obviously, Zhu Er underestimated Ye Yuran's ability to act, since she made a "bet" with Old Man Zhu and said that one person would be responsible for half of the land, of course it was impossible not to move.
It's just that the autumn harvest has just ended, and nothing can be moved, so I didn't mention it.
At the end of October, it is November and December, whether it is sweet potatoes or rice, it is definitely not suitable.
Ye Yuran plans to turn over the land at that time to prepare for the next spring.
At the same time, plant some hardy plants, such as winter wheat, such as lettuce, greens, spinach, etc.
By the way, I will leave some land and prepare the spring potatoes in January of the following year, which will be harvested in about 5 to 7 months, and then in August, you can also plant early winter potatoes, and they will be planted in two seasons a year.
In other words, she would divide the land into two parts, one for paddy fields and for farming, and the other for dry land, which would be responsible for planting these things.
Paddy fields are different from dry land, they need to be "raised", and if they are not well maintained in winter, not only will water storage be a problem in the coming year, but even the fertility of the fields may not be enough. When the time comes, it will definitely affect the harvest.
So without waiting for Zhu Da to rest for a few days, he, Zhu Wu, and Zhu Qi were called away by Ye Yuran and asked to help turn over the ground.
There were still half-cut rice stumps left in the field after the autumn harvest, and Ye Yuran didn't let them clean them up, but borrowed cattle from Li Zheng's family and turned the ground directly.
"Mother, what's the use of plowing the ground at this time? This rice will not be planted until spring begins tomorrow. Zhu Wu was afraid that his mother had never planted the land, so he couldn't figure it out, so he quickly explained to her that this rice was planted in spring, not at this time.
Ye Yuran didn't know? She glanced at Zhu Wu: "Who said I want to plant now?" Haven't you heard a sentence called 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools'?"
Zhu Wu replied honestly: "I haven't heard of it." ”
"If you want to read well, you can't read well, you can't understand it, do you? It means that if you want to do a good job, you must first do a good job of preparation. Now what I have you to do is to prepare. ”
Zhu Da knew that he was named by his mother and assigned to his mother's group, but he didn't expect that his mother's "preparations" started from the first year.
Isn't this preparation a little too early?
But he didn't dare to say as much as Zhu Wu, so he honestly took the guy who ploughed the field, led the old buffalo to the ground, and began to plow.
When he saw the straight plow, Ye Yuran remembered: I forgot to transform the straight plow.
She hurriedly called Zhu Wu over, and explained in his ear like this.
Zhu Wu was a little confused: "What? This thing also needs to be changed?"
"Change. If you don't want to move, find someone to change it, in short, in a few days, I will see a bend. Ye Yuran gestured, "Do you understand, to be like this, you still need to add something here, and there is a ...... here?"
"Wait, mother, you said it a little fast, I can't remember. Zhu Wutou was given a "heavy responsibility" for the first time, and he was a little panicked.
Ye Yuran looked disgusted, called Zhu Qi over, asked Zhu Qi to help carry it down, and then asked Zhu Wu to take it away.
"If you can't remember clearly, just ask Lao Qi, his memory is better than yours. ”
Zhu Qi, who acted as an "artificial memory", honestly followed Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu remembered what his third brother had said, and glanced at this stupid brother several times along the way.
He didn't understand at all, why was he even inferior to a stupid brother?
Well, thinking that people usually read books all at once, he can only rest this unwillingness.
What's the way, he is really not as literate as the old seven.
There were no carpenters in Zhujia Village, so they had to go to the next village to find someone.
Although Zhu Wu was not sure whether what his mother said was true, he still tried to explain it to the old carpenter: "Uncle, I have a deal I want to negotiate with you." ”
Chai Hong is an old carpenter in the village, and after bringing his son Chai Fugui out, he rarely takes over the work outside the house, and basically stays in the village. Unless sometimes I get some relatively big jobs and have to do my son a favor.
He saw a young man in high spirits, who suddenly ran over and said that he wanted to talk to him about business, and looked at them several times.
If he wasn't sure that this kid looked human, he would definitely think that the other party was okay to "bluff" him.
"Where are you?Why haven't I seen you?" Chai Hong didn't rush to the interface, and knocked on the old cigarette stick in his hand, wanting to find out the details of the other party first.
Zhu Wu said: "From Zhujia Village, does Old Man Zhu know? That's my father." ”
"Old man Zhu?" Chai Hong spun around in his mind and didn't think about it.
"Aunt Zhu, you always know, right? Aunt Zhu in Zhujia Village is my mother, and Old Man Zhu is my father. ”
