Chapter 517: Work
"Good guy, it's the Ming treasury, and the money is not as much as yours. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Listening to the numbers Fang Hong said, even Yang Jingye was stunned for a long time. It took a long time for such a sentence to come out of my mouth.
"Money is such a thing, it's boring if it's too much, so be it. Fang Hong let out a long breath, but he didn't take it to heart. Sometimes, he also misses himself six or seven years ago, when he deducted every penny and spent money, trying every way to get money, although he felt very naïve, but he was also very happy.
Yang Jingye looked at Fang Hong and didn't speak, the two of them just squatted in the field and remained silent.
In the fields in front of them, many tenant farmers were laboriously digging ditches. There was an extra spring in a pond at the back of the Lin family's house, and the nearby farmers found a way to dig a ditch to divert the water to their fields.
Now this ghost weather, it has not rained for more than ten days, and many small rivers have dried up to the bottom. This spring is used by everyone to save lives.
Now it's getting late, but the temperature is still not low, and many people are working shirtless. One by one, their skin was red and blackened by the sun, and their bodies were covered with mud. But they are still desperately digging ditches, and if the water is not diverted in time, and by the time the crops are dry, it will be too late to have water.
"It's not easy for everyone. Fang Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, everyone is envious of other people's lives, but they don't know that others also have their own difficulties. When he had finished sighing, he took off his boots and his shirt and jumped into the ditch by the ridge.
He walked up to a sweaty, thin old man, who was actually an old man, but in fact he was only in his early forties, and only because of overwork, he looked very old, and his face was full of wrinkles, just like this cracked earth.
"This old man, you come and rest for a while, and I'll help you do some work. Fang Hong grabbed the hoe from in front of him, and with a hard hoe and hook on the ground, a large piece of soil was turned up.
"This son, I can't help it, I can't help it, you are a noble body, how can you do such a rough job. Fang Hong's current moment can make this old man a little waxy. Because Fang Hong has been practicing martial arts all year round, his body has become well-proportioned, not as thin as a monkey when he was young. He was tempered by divine power again, with a moist breath, at first glance, he came out of a big family, he stood in the middle of this group of men, looking so out of place.
"What's the matter, please go to the house of the Lin Mansion, let them boil some tea and send it over, and make some steamed buns and snacks, you are all tenant farmers, working for the Lin family, then you should also let the Lin family do something." Fang Hong waved his hand and continued to dig his ditch.
The Lin family's family business is very large, and the number of tenant farmers is also extremely large, but the way they treat tenant farmers is different from Fang Hong's family. Although Fang Dayuan treats Fang Hong very harshly, he treats his own tenants very well, and whenever he is busy with farming, he will personally go to the fields to send some food and drink, and if he is busy, he will also wrap some red envelopes. Unlike the Lin family, they don't care about the tenant farmers at all, and only when it is time to collect grain and collect rent, they will send people to keep an eye on them.
"This ......" Where did the old man dare to go, the people in the big mansion were very proud, like they couldn't even enter the door, let alone ask for something to eat and drink.
"When you go, mention my name, my name is Fang Hong. Fang Hong laughed out loud and continued to work. After a short while, I felt that my back was drenched with sweat, and my middle coat was soaked.
He deliberately did not use his supernatural powers, purely relying on the strength of his body, although he had practiced martial arts, but after all, he was still a mortal in the flesh, and he would feel tired after spending a lot of physical strength.
After sweating, he took off his coat and threw it into the field. After many people saw it, their eyelids jumped. This dress, which was made of fine silk with complicated patterns, could be sold for at least seven or eight taels of silver, and was thrown to the ground like this, and many people secretly felt sorry for him.
"Young Master...... Young master, what are you doing here, why are you doing such rough work on this hot day. "Just now, the old man got Fang Hong's order, and he really went to the mansion where he came in. Originally, the old servant guarding the door was about to drive him out, but as soon as he heard that the other party reported Fang Hong's name, he hurriedly ran over.
"Did you bring tea and snacks? I'm hungry. Fang Hong shouted at the head of the road on his back, his tone was very polite.
The old servant's face was bitter for a while, he heard that Fang Hong was working here, so he hurriedly ran over, where did he take care of so many things. But since the young master asked, he definitely had to answer.
"Young master, the kitchen has already started, it should be soon, I'll urge it again. The old servant hurriedly said with a smile, and then hurriedly ran in the direction of going back. He's just a rhetoric, and now he's going to have to go back and get something made from the kitchen.
"This young master, I didn't say it, we have seen a lot of rich people in our lives, and you are the most special, first-class good person. A man came over and shouted at Fang Hong.
"Hahaha, I'm not a good person, I've done a lot of bad things, and I used to steal chickens and dogs. Fang Hong laughed and shook his head. really can't afford the title of a good person, and there are many times when he does things quite despicably. But he has a bottom line and knows what to do and what not to do.
Everyone didn't believe it, they just thought it was a joke about the young master. After saying a few words, everyone became acquainted, and everyone felt a lot less estrangement from this young master, and their voices became a little louder.
After a while, a few old servants came over with a few burdens, and there were some boiled herbal teas in them, and a lot of herbs were put in them, which smelled particularly fragrant. In order to be able to drink it in time, these old servants specially soaked the herbal tea jar in cold water. Immediately after, they went back and got some steamed buns, although they were not freshly steamed, but they were all made of real white noodles, and the taste was firm, which was a rare delicacy for these bitter tenant farmers.
A group of tenant farmers just went up and drank a bowl of herbal tea, and the warm herbal tea poured into their mouths, which was particularly comfortable. After a while, the herbs took effect, and the whole body was cool and soothing. As for the flatbread steamed buns given to them, they didn't eat any of them, but carefully wrapped them in patched clothes, ready to take them back to the mother-in-law and children to taste.
Although Fang Hong could see it clearly, he also pretended not to know that this was a small warmth that belonged to these tenant farmers, and he would not break it.
