It was enough for Wen Jin to do this alone, and Wen Han couldn't help anyway, so he sat on the side, holding a book and lecturing Wen Jin. He found that this younger brother was very smart, and he could not only understand the obscure content, but also discuss a few words with him, and even occasionally ask questions, which were so sharp that he could not answer. Wen Han carefully wrote down the questions, and when he had the opportunity, he went to ask Mr. again.

The machine was babbling, and Webster could occasionally hear her son's voice, and occasionally she heard all of it, and it turned out to be a discussion of knowledge, which made her happy and sad. It's a good thing for a son to be motivated, but is it a blessing or a curse for the family?

Wen Jin and Wen Han didn't know that yet, and the two continued to be busy and talking.

The sun shone all over the small courtyard, Wen Jin moved the newly made bamboo dining table out of the house, and Wen Han helped put the dishes and chopsticks: "Mother, it's time to eat, Wen Jin put all the dumplings in the pot." ”

"Just come, just come." Webster finished weaving the little thread left in the shuttle, untied the wide cloth strap that was tied around his waist, got off the loom, walked outside the gate to pat the cotton wool off his body, turned back and washed his hands and face, and the dumplings were already on the table.

"When you smell it, it's fragrant, and you know it's delicious if you don't taste it. Wen Jin's craft, why don't you learn it? Merriam-Webster sighed.

"Second aunt, you listened to my tricks, don't scold me."

"Say it, I won't scold."

"My trick to making dumplings is to have more oil, enough ingredients, and the right amount of salt."

"Hehe, this kid, if you have more oil, you will have more oil, and our family will work hard and not worry about food and clothing." When Webster said this, there was a natural pride in her tone, she sold the cloth she had recently knitted, which could feed her family for a month.

Wen Jin is very clear that if there is no big house, this family's life will not reach that kind of situation of lack of clothes and less clothing.

There are a lot of children who go to dig wild vegetables with Wen Jin every day, some are older than her, and some are younger than her, the more she understands about the tofu historian, the more sad she feels. On this day, she thought about it and discussed it with Wei: "Second aunt, why don't we hire the ancestors and grandchildren of the tofu historian to open a tofu workshop, and at night, I will help them grind tofu, and the money will be divided equally between the two families, and the tofu residue filtrate will be fed to the pigs, do you think it's okay?" ”

Wei's face showed surprise, and then it dimmed again: "Good boy, your idea is good, but can our family support the ancestors and grandchildren of the Shi family?" I'm afraid that if we do a good deed now, we will have nothing to eat by then, and others will say that we are selling our reputation and not doing our best. ”

"Second aunt, it's okay. I've thought about it, the old man of the Shi family is only fifty years old, it's not that he can't move anymore, his legs are not broken, but his tendons are twisted, and he can recuperate. Shi Xiaofeng also helped his father sell tofu before, and he went to our town alone every day, and he was also capable, we not only had to help his family tide over the difficulties, but also give full play to the best advantages of the two families. ”

"What are the advantages of the two of us? There are few old and young. Webster asked Wen Jin curiously.

"Second aunt, Shi Xiaofeng has to take care of his grandfather, and he has to stop the tofu workshop, if I and Brother Wen Han help, we can definitely open it again, if our family wants to engage in breeding, we can make full use of his family's tofu scum and tofu wastewater, and Uncle Shi can also eat hot rice, isn't this the two complementary advantages?"

"It's good, I'm afraid I'll tire you two, making tofu is not an easy task."

"Second aunt, don't worry, I have a trick, as long as you agree."

"I promise, I promise." Merriam-Webster is now more and more convinced of this little nephew. No matter what Wen Jin does, he can always see farther than ordinary people, see clearly, find advantages from bad things, and find bad signs from good things.

Wen Jin and Wen Han went to Shi Xiaofeng's house that night: "On the wasteland of my house, open a tofu shop, we will help you make tofu, help you take care of Grandpa Shi, you make tofu every day, sell tofu, make money for two families, and the tofu residue belongs to us, is it feasible?" ”

"It's tiring." Shi Xiaofeng hated to agree immediately, and now he has to take care of his grandfather, his tofu can't be made, and he sits and eats empty mountains every day, which makes him very worried.

"We are not afraid of being tired, as long as you agree, I will shout to people and build a shed for you first." Wen Jin smiled embarrassedly, "I can't build a good new tofu shop for you yet." ”

"Why did you move to your wasteland?" Shi Xiaofeng didn't understand very much, "I have all the tools here in my house, and I have a ready-made house." ”

"As long as you say yes, you'll know in two days."

Wen Jin used the silver in hand to invite someone, built a shed, and opened a waterway to lead a stream of water, and then, in front of an artificially created water flow gap, set up a small waterwheel, and used water power to grind tofu, and the most tiring part of making tofu was solved.

Shi Xiaofeng's eyes almost popped out when he saw Wen Jin's new equipment: "No wonder you say you're not afraid of being tired, it's not tired at all." ”

"No, it's very tiring to shake tofu, my things are done, we don't even need to do that, you are responsible for selling it every day, what about me, help you take care of your grandfather, how about it?"

"No problem, Wen Jin, my family's tofu, everyone in Fangyuan likes it, and I don't have to worry about selling it every day, with this, I can make more."

The addition of the Shijia Tofu Workshop greatly increased the source of feed, and Webster sold the woven cloth and bought five piglets. The original three big pigs were driven into a pen. The bottom of the pigsty is made of cobblestones from the stream, and it only needs to be washed with water to make it clean, and the water flows into the pond, and the surface of the water that used to be crystal clear gradually turns pale green.

Wen Jin built a waterway to communicate with the stream, and used a large stone as a valve in front of it, and if needed, he could add to this side from the stream.

The ducklings hatched, yellow and fluffy, rolling on the ground like balls of yarn. Wen Jin was in the backyard, leveled a small piece of land, built a shed on it, surrounded by corn stalks on all sides, and kept it there during the day, and put it in a big basket at night, and took it to her room, she was afraid that it would be cold at night, and the ducklings would freeze to death.

Five old hens, hatched eighty-seven ducklings, they each protect their own children, if which duckling misrecognizes the mother, but also was ruthlessly pecked out of the group, however, there are hens to protect, ducks are cold, you can drill under the big wings to warm, if you are hungry, there are old hens with you, to the food basin, Wen Jin is not particularly bothered, but this duck food, but it really took a lot of effort, wild vegetables chopped, mixed with cornmeal, plus dug insects, both afraid of hunger, but afraid of supporting, the book said, ducks are greedy, too much feed is not good.

Frightened to raise for more than 20 days, the book said that Qingming, the water will be warm, and also said, the duckling fluff faded into the water, now both, so, Wen Jin waved his little hand, drove five old hens, proudly with a group of ducklings, squeaked all the way through the city, came to the pond, the old hen cooed, shaved on the ground, but the duckling jumped into the water desperately, the old hen was anxious, back and forth by the pond, and cooing, frightened to look at the duckling playing happily in the water.

After the water on the other side of the stream was blocked, there was sun on this side every day, Wen Jin was not full of letters, she tested the water temperature with her hands, it was not so cold, so she dared to bring the duck over, even if she had no experience in raising it, she felt that the duckling was the same as a child, too hot and too cold, it must not be a good thing.

Many children in the village came to see the excitement, excitement and novelty, and chirping, as cheerful as the ducklings in the pond.

Webster was not at ease, seeing all this from afar, she couldn't help but smile, she didn't get closer, she turned back again, and she became more and more confident in her nephew.

Wen Jin's rice field was repaired, and after fertilizing it, she began to store water and plant seedlings. The locals had never done this work, and they hadn't even heard of it, so Wen Jin could only follow the book with Wen Han, and the two of them were very slow at first, and at the end of the day, they only planted half an acre of land.

Coming out of the paddy field with a sore back, seeing the two of them inserting the seedlings crookedly, Wen Jin and Wen Han glanced at each other embarrassedly. But Wen Han is more confident than Wen Jin this time: "Less than three acres, it can be planted in six days, haha, when it is autumn, our family will have big white rice to eat." ”

In fact, the next day they planted an acre of field, and when their hands were ripe, the speed was fast, although they were very tired, but they couldn't be happier to see the green rice seedlings in the field.

"Brother, you're really fast today." Wen Jin praised from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't expect Wen Han to do things very neatly, and his subordinates' movements were so fast that they couldn't see clearly, and it was a big piece. In fact, she should also think that Webster's weaver is fast, not only fast, but also of good quality, Wen Han is like a mother.

Raising ducks in the pond, planting rice in the fields, planting alfalfa in the barren fields, building pigsties, tofu workshops, and the west of Shanwo Village, the appearance immediately changed.

Shanwo is very close to Linjin, and if the people in the village want to buy, they have to go to the town, plus Shi Xiaofeng goes to the town every day to sell tofu, Qian Xiancheng's family moved to Shanwo, and the news that life is very smooth and comfortable soon reached the ears of Yang Shanwa and Qian Chuanchuan.

The two of them are now free laborers who do not pay wages in the Qian family's big house, the Qian family has dozens of acres of land, and the old Jiao family keeps an eye on it every day, the two of them are tired like a pair of leper dogs, their two sons are not the materials for reading, and now the two boys are still mixing in the study, and the black egg was scared by the teacher's handboard, and refused to go to school, and became a small long-term worker of the Qian family.

"I still want to live in a brick house, how can I do it without working? Money doesn't fall from the sky. Jiao said harshly.

Lao Jiao's taught Qian Chuanke, "Look at you, you can't manage your family well, and you also said that if you save a lot of money, you can build a big house when you come to the town, no, that's it?" It's not enough to even buy bricks and tiles, and you have to hire someone to cut wood, which is also an expense, at least 20 times. You, you, don't blame your sister-in-law for being bad, it's all your bragging. ”
