Chapter 32 Alas, Second Uncle

The strength of the clamp is determined by the elasticity of the bamboo, and after a long time, there is no strength. Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng saw that winter was coming, afraid of wolves, foxes or something, and there was nothing to eat to come to the duck shed scourge, so he took it upon himself to replace Hsinchu. That howl was made by him, and Yang Shanwa was in a hurry to save her son, so she just ran into the rope noose mechanism and hung it up.

The second child of the Yang family, the black clown, also came, and when he saw the accident, he was frightened, so he left his father and brother and ran away alone.

Wei Ronghe was secretly happy in his heart, but he pretended to be kind in his mouth, and gave Wen Han and Wen Jin ideas: "There will be people in the village in a while, how embarrassing it is to see it, why don't I drive the donkey cart and send them back to the town." ”

The black egg was in a coma, he was afraid that if something happened, Yang Shanwa was a scoundrel, what if he was falsely accused of this?

Wen Jin immediately understood what Uncle Wei meant, and immediately nodded in agreement, anyway, it is impossible to beat Yang Shanwa again, and there is nothing to lose on his side, what else can he do? She said gratefully, "Okay." ”

Shi Xiaofeng set up a donkey cart and lifted the unconscious Yang Heidan to it, Yang Shanwa sat in the front of the car, and Wei Ronghe rushed on the road. Yang Heidan was in a coma, and he kept moaning, and Wen Jin also pretended to be kind enough to take out a few copper coins from his pocket and give them to Yang Shanwa: "Send my cousin to see the doctor." ”

Li Zheng's house lives in the east, Wang Han hurried over, this side is ready to go on the road, he saw that the thief he caught was an old acquaintance, and kicked Yang Shanwa angrily: "You are unproductive, you have become a thief." It turned out that when they used to study, they were still in a private school.

Yang Shanwa drooped his head and didn't say a word, he always felt that Wen Jin was a monkey spirit, and there was no old man watching at the duck shed, all of them blamed Jiao, saying that Qian Wenjin was stingy, so he didn't hire a middle-aged man, and Qian Chuanchuan chattered all day long, first she wanted to eat duck eggs, but now there are no duck eggs in winter, she wants to stew a duck to eat, speaking of which, she seduced the two sons to drool, and finally the result of the adventure was to be caught.

When Wei heard that it was Yang Shanwa who came to steal the duck, he was angry and worried.

"It's okay, Uncle Wei next door sent my cousin to the doctor, saying that it was just a broken skin and twisted tendons, and it would be good to raise it."

"It's a shame, it's a shame, there's a thief in the house!"

The criminal law of this era was unusually cruel, and once someone became a thief, neighbors and close relatives had to be put in prison and paid for it. In terms of public opinion guidance, he also attaches great importance to reputation, and whoever has a relative in his family will not be able to make a good family affair because of this. As a result, the common people were pressed into obedience, and the people in the village closed their doors only to prevent wild beasts, and almost no one guarded against thieves.

Only Wen Jin came from another world to have such thoughts.

Yang Zhiwa stole from her own relatives, of course she won't report it to the official, and the matter is over. Li Zheng of Shanwo Village got up, went to Linjin Town, scolded Yang Zhangwa severely, warned that he would come to Shanwo Village to make trouble again, and he took off his legs. Qian Chuanchuan originally wanted to trouble Wei's, but after listening to Wang Qi's warning, he obediently retracted his head, but just complained about Jiao's kindness, blaming her for saying that the duck was easy to steal.

Jiao naturally didn't admit it, and quarreled with money strings all day long.

The affairs of the Yang family came to an end, and Wang Han came to Wen Jin and Wen Han to plant rice next year, and the land had to be sorted out well. He didn't know which of the two little talents of the Qian family had more ideas, Wen Han was older, and he had read books for a few years, he misunderstood, and saw that Wen Jin also followed his brother to talk to him, this person is more proficient in things, and he also smiled at Wen Jin, without the slightest neglect.

"The method you said is very good, but it can only prevent drought, what if there is a lot of rain and waterlogging?" This Wang Han is still a willing brain.

Wen Jin said unhurriedly: "Dig a drainage ditch in the middle of the ground, starting from this year, everyone is idle in winter, every family has a person, dredge the waterway of the creek, and transport the big stones inside to the shore, along our land, build a small embankment, it is only one or two feet high, the ready-made green on the mountain, get some firewood to burn lime, it is very easy to build a dam." ”

Although she benefited the most from this, she could guide everyone to plant rice for free next year, and Wen Jin also repaid the villagers and did not take advantage.

Sure enough, Wang Han nodded again and again, and had no objection: "Wen Jin is right, you have to do these things well, and you won't be afraid of flooding if you build a dam." ”

This piece of land in the west of the village, only half of the people have it, Wang Han greeted from house to house, heard that Wen Jin taught everyone to plant rice next year, all the people did not say the most beneficial words of her family, to the agreed day, twenty or thirty strong laborers, with crowbars, ropes, carried the big stones washed down by the mountain torrent in the stream to the stream, there are these big stones as the cornerstone, the small stones fill in the blanks, and then use lime and sand to fill the joints, and it took more than a month to repair the dam more than three miles long.

Wen Han and Wen Jin were too young, and the people in Shanwo Village did not let them go to the site to work.

In fact, even if she wanted to do it, she couldn't do it at all, Wen Jin went to try it, a stone as big as a cow, she stuffed the long stick of Qingoka wood, and she couldn't pry it at all, so she had to give up.

"Xiao Xiucai will bother more next year, so that everyone's rice can be harvested more, and there is no need to do this work." Wang Han's words did not cause people to be dissatisfied, but instead they were a voice of approval.

"Uncle Wang, when the time comes, we will have to set up a waterwheel on the side of the drainage canal."

"There's no hurry, I'll get it next year."

"No, the small waterwheel is very fast, and it is too late to do it in a rainy year.

Then the irrigation ditch was repaired first, and then the drainage ditch again, Wang Han specially asked people to put the soil dug out of the drainage ditch into the pit newly dug by Wen Jin, and the half of the wasteland that was only dug out of one foot immediately became fertile land, and the other half of the pond was also filled with a lot of soil, and Wen Jin could plant lotus.

There are also people in the village who muttered behind their backs that Wen Jin is smart, but where can he pile up the soil from the drainage ditch? Wen Jin didn't ask anyone, they did it voluntarily.

Only then did Wen Han understand Wen Jin's deep meaning, and secretly praised it in his heart.

Dongyue saw that it was over, the weather was cold and frozen, and the land preparation was basically completed, so Wang Han dispersed.

Mingshan has been here several times, and seeing that Layue is coming, he still wants to sell fried fat sausages with Wen Jin: "Brother Baoshan's cooking is not delicious." ”

"Okay."

"Brother Baoshan also wants to add in, he will clean it, and you will not be so tired."

"Okay!"

Seeing Wen Jin talking so well, Mingshan couldn't help but smile: "You too, aren't you afraid to take away your money?" ”

"In this world, can you earn all the money?" Wen Jin also smiled, "Maybe Uncle Baoshan will find some good channel and pull me out." ”

Wen Han was too tired to rush to the mountain, and insisted on reading the rest of the time, and even devoured a book of Analects alive, and memorized it so hard, which made Wen Jin admire.

Although the Analects are not long, I can memorize a few a few a day, but it is difficult to understand and tongue-twisting, and I really don't know where Wen Han got so much energy.

I didn't expect Qian Xiancheng to come back at this time. Wen Jin looked forward to it day and night, hoping that he would bring someone back to plant lotus roots as soon as possible, but it was cold, she was already dead, but her uncle had arrived home.

He took a big bag of lotus seeds: "Wen Han, Wen Jin, this is given by our host, he specially left the seeds, and also wrote out the method of raising seedlings, you can follow it next year." ”

Wen Jin glanced at it, and her heart twitched, she didn't know anything about planting lotus, could she really follow the steps written by others?

"Second uncle, how much did your host ask for so many lotus seeds?"

"No money!" Qian Xiancheng said with a happy face.

Wen Jin didn't believe it at all, did her second uncle really meet a good owner?

"The son of the proprietor came back from the provincial capital and took a fancy to my boots, so I gave them to him, and the proprietor didn't want to go, gave me this bag of lotus seeds, and gave me a pair of cotton shoes."

"You-" Wen Jin jumped up all of a sudden, "Do you know how much boots are worth?" How much effort did it take to make it, and you said that you would give it away? Just these broken lotus seeds, Wang Shanren helped to buy them, and it cost three or four taels of silver at most, and your shoes arrived in the provincial capital, I am afraid that they will not be able to pay ten taels of silver a pair. ”

After a hard year, the money earned is not as much as what is lost, Wen Jin was so angry that he turned his head and ignored the second uncle.

Qian Xiancheng didn't care: "They also gave me a pair of cotton shoes, I just have to wear them anyway." ”

"Do you know how long your boots last? How long will this pair of cotton shoes last? When you don't have shoes, the second aunt won't have to stay up all night to make them for you? Why are you so disrespectful of other people's labor? ”

Wen Jin was really angry, regardless of what he said, Qian Xiancheng didn't expect his nephew's opinion to be so big, and he was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Wen Han was also so angry that he glanced at his father fiercely, turned his head and went to his room.

Qian Xiancheng was still sneering at first, but after a while, he reacted and pulled Wen Jin to train: "You are a child, your mind is full of money and interests, and you don't want to save face?" How can you be so careless when interacting with people? ”

"Second uncle, your owner is much richer and more powerful than us, and he doesn't care, why does he give such a little lotus seed? Two more bags? Next year, I plan to plant dozens of acres of ponds, how can this be? ”

"Besides, didn't I say buy lotus root seeds? Why did he give lotus seeds? This is a light and fluttering belt, if it is a lotus root, why do you have to send two ox carts to send it over? If someone else says something nice, you will take it seriously, for benevolent and righteous people, I will naturally be benevolent and righteous, and I will be benevolent and righteous to this kind of villain, that is-" Wen Jin barely held back and didn't say the word "fool".

Qian Xiancheng was even more angry, and his face turned red: "How do others know how much that boot is worth?" Don't be a villain. ”

"Isn't it obvious that Wang Shanren sent his boots to the provincial capital to sell them on consignment, and your owner's son came back from the provincial capital to covet your leather boots? Besides, why do you dare to give things to the owner of the house, not afraid that others will look down on you? Surely people have praised and praised in front of you, and hinted at you. Why don't you think about it? I also met a kind owner who gave money on time every month, and it turned out that it was all a raccoon dog. ”

"The young master is still a child, how does he know this? What boy is like you, who values silver more than the sky? ”

Qian Xiancheng's big hand stretched out and clenched tightly, he really wanted to slap Wen Jin a few times, this kid dared to talk back to him like this, it was simply the opposite. But in my heart, I feel that I am at a loss, and I can't do it. Maybe if it were someone else, Wen Jin's ear scrapers would have been several, what does it mean to be annoyed and angry? Qian Xiancheng is kind, so kind-hearted that he is a little weak, and his heart can't be hard to beat his nephew.

The road was ice and snow, Qian Xiancheng's cotton soles were all soaked, after eating, Wei had to help brush off the soil outside, and then put the cotton shoes on the stove to dry, Qian Xiancheng's feet were also frozen, hot water washed, itching to death, he couldn't help rubbing his feet together against each other.

If it is leather boots, wipe the wax oil before going on the road, it will not permeate the water, why is this?

Webster couldn't help but sigh, and now, she also felt that her husband's behavior was a little inappropriate. But Wen Jin had already objected so fiercely just now, how could she bear to complain again?

Qian Xiancheng also saw his wife's dissatisfaction, and muttered: "Childe is still a child, he wants it again and again, what can I do?" ”

Merriam-Webster did not speak.

What can be said?
