Master Zhang also staggered, threw himself on the edge of the paddy field, and shouted, "What's the matter?" Ah, how can this rice seedling be drought-stricken like this? ”

Li was waiting for a few old people in the village, and when he heard the news that Master Zhang was coming, he also rushed over, and when he saw him like this, he said, "I'm afraid it's not a drought, maybe it's a disease, Master Zhang quickly went to the city to find an agronomist to take a look." ”

Zhang Dahu glared and scolded, "This rice seedling is wilted, it's not a drought, what is it?" Even if you suffer from the disease, you can't escape the ghosts of you people, of course, I am kind enough to help you live, but you still have resentment, actually..."

Zhang Dashao has been messing around outside for a few years, he has no other skills, and he understands some words, seeing that Li Zheng and the villagers have changed their faces, he hurriedly rushed forward, bowed his hand, and said, "Uncle Lizheng, my father is anxious for a while, don't be surprised, I will go into the city to invite the agronomist master, and I hope that the uncle and fellow villagers will help take care of one or two more in this field." ”

There is a way, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, most of the people in Yunjia Village have been tenants of the Zhang family, although they have not planted the land again this year, in the end they are still a little disappointed, at this time, they heard Zhang Dashao's soft words, and they waved their hands again and again, asking him to take care of himself and go back to the city to invite people, and they will definitely not watch idle.

Zhang Dashao got into the carriage and hurried away, leaving Zhang Dahu sitting on the edge of the field, cursing non-stop, Li Zheng heard that he still faintly blamed the village people for guarding the unfavorable, and was angry, who is your slave, so he pulled an excuse that there was something at home, turned around and left, and the people in the village naturally followed, and they were all scattered in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Dahu scolded even more, but only Zhang Jiang listened with a bitter face.

Zhang Dashao eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays, and a few fox friends and dog friends, seven to eight please, in the end the agronomist who drank at a friend's house invited into the carriage, when he arrived at the ground, it was already two hours later, Zhang Dahu was hot and anxious, sitting under the willow tree, panting like pulling a bellows, seeing that his son finally came back, he stepped forward and scolded him, "I want you to find a little official, it took a long time to return, people, hurry up and show me the rice seedlings." ”

The agronomist master just opened the door and got out of the car, and heard that Zhang Dahu's anger was so unkind, he had a cold face, although he was named as a small official in the government, but the people took food as the sky, what he learned was the ability to treat the crops, and he cured the disease at a critical moment, that is, he lived countless lives, even if a county parent summoned him, he had to treat him politely, today was just a friend's affection, so he tossed a trip, but he didn't expect to be so neglected by the master's family, how could he not be angry in his heart?

Zhang Dashao really can't wait to plug his father's mouth, and now he has to rely on others to solve this disaster, his father is still so open-mouthed, offending others, it is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, but he is not good at scolding his father, so he had to step forward to apologize to the agronomist master, and then personally lead the way and invite him to the paddy field.

The agronomist master was dissatisfied, so he naturally refused to check carefully, squatted down and only opened the rice seedlings, looked at the roots, tore a piece of rice leaves and fiddled with them twice, then got up and said, "This rice seedling is infected with yellow leaf disease, and I am afraid that this year's harvest will not be saved." ”

"Why can't you keep it, just put more water to irrigate, you take a good look, if you come up with a way, you can keep eighty percent of the harvest, and when you beat rice in the autumn, I will reward you with two bags." Zhang Dahu endured the pain in his heart, and in order to keep the harvest, he rarely generously promised to reward rice grain.

The master farmer was so angry that he almost didn't laugh out loud, and without answering, he turned around and walked towards the carriage, apparently unwilling to say anything more.

Zhang Da Shao was so angry that he stomped his feet and blamed his father, "Dad, let's rely on others to treat the disease, you are still so stingy!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and picked up the agronomist master, and immediately stuffed a small silver coin of five taels over, and the master refused to accept it, so he laughed and said, "Master Chen, my father is getting older, and it is inevitable that he will be a little more temperamental, don't take his words to heart." Although the paddy field at home is not big, it is also a hundred acres, if the grains are not harvested, it will be a pity, Master Chen no matter what, to help think of a way. ”

The agronomist saw that he was sincere, and because of his friend's face, he accepted the silver and said, "Zhang Dashao, it's not that the old man I don't want to help, there is really no way, this yellow leaf disease, as long as it can be done, even if Da Luo Jinxian comes, it can't work." ”

After speaking, he glanced at it, saw that there was no one around, and lowered his voice again, "If you can trust me, then quickly sell this paddy field, if it is other small diseases, you can also pull out rice seedlings, plant some cabbage beans, barely cover some harvests, but this yellow leaf disease can take root when it falls in the soil, within two or three years, you can't plant anything, and at that time, the news spread, and your house can't sell it even if you want to." ”

After speaking, he didn't say anything more, turned around and got into the carriage, Zhang Dashao couldn't, and told the coachman to send the man away, and then went to find his father.

When Zhang Dahu saw him coming back, he asked, "How much silver did you stuff him?" What kind of yellow leaf disease, it's just to scare people, and I want to ask for more reward. ”

Zhang Dashao really couldn't bear it, and said angrily, "Dad, this rice seedling is really infected with yellow leaf disease, Master Chen said, there will be no harvest in two or three years, let us sell this field quickly." ”

"What? If you don't get it in two or three years, that is, you won't be able to harvest rice this year? Zhang Dahu thought that without the harvest of this paddy field, the family's grain will be bought in the grain store next year, which is a lot of money, which will cost him his old life, he shouted, "Hurry up and call people back, as long as he can cure this disease, I will reward him... Ten taels of silver! ”

Zhang Dashao had no choice but to deal with such a confused father, and he thought in his heart that he would discuss with his mother and a few brothers after he went back, and find a buyer to sell the land.

Sure enough, after dinner, several losers of the Zhang family did not go out to fool around, and they gathered in the hall, and they heard the eldest brother talk about the paddy field, and they all rarely showed a "capable and decisive" side, this said, "This thing must be done quickly, it will drag on for a long time, and the news will not be sold at a price." ”

The one said, "If the buyer asks the reason, let's say that it is not good for the subordinates to take care of them, and when the drought comes, the family happens to be short of money, so they sell it to subsidize the family." ”

Everyone nodded, and Mrs. Zhang said, "Let's find a buyer tomorrow." ”

Master Zhang sat aside, and he didn't refute, he had asked the housekeeper before, the yellow leaf disease was indeed as bad as the agronomist said, and there was no better way than to sell it.

The Zhang family thinks very well, but unfortunately when looking for a buyer, it is a wall everywhere, this year, how can there be a fool, the paddy field is not an independent small village, and dozens of miles away from the city, it is not convenient to manage, besides, the middle of July is the time when the rice seedlings grow well, but two months can take back the full warehouse of rice, if there is not a big problem, who is willing to sell, not to mention, ask less than two sentences, the Zhang family will not admit themselves, saying that the rice seedlings are a little wilted, so there is no one to talk to.

After another two months like this, Zhang Jiang came to report again, saying that the rice seedlings in the field, except for the half next to the roots, were still a little green, and the rest of the parts were already yellow, and the Zhang family was completely anxious.

Zhang Lao Er shook the fan in his hand and complained, "When my father saw that the paddy field was cheap, he bought it, but in fact, the boundary is too remote, and there is not even a rich family around, otherwise it will be closed if it is sold nearby." ”

Zhang Dashao these days, in order to sell paddy fields, but asked the things in Yunjia Village clearly, so that the buyer could ask, listening to the words of the second brother, there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, clapping his hands and laughing, "The second brother reminded me of this, there is really a rich family in Yunjia Village, surnamed Zhao, the tofu we went to the restaurant to eat is from his workshop, it is said that these days I have made some money, and I built a yard and bought a shop, so it is better to go to the door and ask." ”

Zhang Dahu heard the words of the Zhao family, remembered the pain of breaking his leg in the first month, and couldn't help but shudder, and said, "The husband of that family is a sick man, and they are all women in charge, and it is easier to be confused than other families, it is her family." ”

Several sons were curious about why their father was so clear about the affairs of the Zhao family, and they were about to ask, but they were stopped by their mother, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, Da'er will accompany your father on a trip, it is better to sell it, if it can't be sold, it will be our Zhang family to break the fortune and avoid disaster." ”

The sons answered, and went back to their respective yards.

Early the next morning, the Zhang family father and son took the carriage out of the city, bumpy and bumpy, tossed for an hour to get to the door of the Zhao family, Zhang Dahu did a bad thing, he was a little nervous, sitting in the car hesitating and refusing to get off, Zhang Dashao got off the car first, and saw that the Zhao family's house was built very quaint and atmospheric, so he praised, "In this small village, I didn't want to fight such a good house, this Zhao family has a tofu business in hand, and I am afraid that it will be more developed in the future." ”

Zhang Dahu heard about the tofu business and remembered that the restaurants were selling so hot, so he couldn't help but want to see what the tofu workshop looked like, so he also moved his fat body and got out of the car.

The father and son stood in front of the door for a long time, and someone with sharp eyes saw it and immediately reported the news.

The husband and wife of the Zhao family have been waiting for the Zhang family to come to the door for the past two days, and now it has come true, they are all happy, Zhao Fengnian got up and said, "Don't go out, just prepare the money, and wait to be the landlord's wife." ”

Rui Xue smiled and stretched the placket for him, straightening his belt, and just as he was about to speak, his subordinates felt a cardboard bag in the placket, so he asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Zhao Fengnian turned sideways slightly, and said with a smile, "A good thing that is very useful, I went to the front, remember to prepare a few good dishes for dinner, Amber praised you yesterday for the good taste of the fish fillet." With that, he strode out the door.

Rui Xue frowned, and threw the little doubt in her heart to the back of her mind, turned around and instructed Caiyun Caiyue to unlock the big nanmu box in the corner of the house, and took out a black sandalwood box one foot square.

Rui Xue took one in the palm of her hand and checked it, and she was also emotional, remembering that when she was just reborn here, there were only three broken houses, a few clay pots, and a sick man, and it was difficult to even fill her stomach.

Her subordinates touched their belly, which was bigger again, and her face was full of happy smiles...
