【056】Farming (1)
The eldest brother felt that it was feasible to buy land for breeding, and was about to discuss it with Yuqi, but he couldn't see anyone in a blink of an eye, and after careful questioning, he learned that the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt had already gone to the ground, and Yuqi and Yujie were busy cooking, preparing to send food to their father and mother at noon.
The three of them didn't stay long, and went back to explain to their father, they wanted to go to the field to help the fourth uncle turn the ground, but they were heard by the grandfather, and as soon as the grandfather spoke, the three uncles and three grandsons went to the field to help turn the ground, and the eldest aunt was to help cook, afraid that the two little girls would not be able to control the fire, so they set the house on fire.
The strength of the people is great, and the nine people turned over the ten acres of land in two days, and it took two more days to manure and water, and so on, and the autumn harvest has begun.
The people in the village went down to break the bud valley from the time the sun did not rise, and they were busy until they went home at night, even the children who usually played in the village could not be seen, and they all ran to the field to pick up the fallen bud valley, even Yuqi and Yujie were no exception.
A few uncles broke the bud valley for a few days, Yuqi picked it up for a few days, and finally the bud valley was broken, Yuqi was also tired, lamenting from the heart, the grains were harmonious and hard, it was really not covered.
The buds have been harvested, but the winter wheat has not yet been planted.
On this day, my father and mother led Fan Dahe and myself and my sister to plant wheat, the three of them dug a pit in front, Yuqi and Yujie put their children in the back, buried the soil, stepped on it with their feet, one by one, one by one, one acre of acres and acres of back and forth, three days, ten acres of wheat finally dried up, Yuqi dragged her tired body home and planted it on the bed, snoring and sleeping, even when eating at night, she couldn't wake up.
As soon as Fan Junjiang looked up, he saw his wife coming back alone, and asked out loud:
"What, you still can't wake up?"
Zhu Yan nodded, her heart throbbing slightly: "The eldest girl is tired, don't call her, when she wakes up, I'm cooking for her." ”
"Well, let's eat first. ”
After the meal, Fan Dahe and Yujie were very wilted and listless, so they went back to bed early.
Zhu Yan waited until late, and went to Yuqi's house two or three times in the middle and didn't see any signs of her waking up, and finally she was sleepy, so she fell asleep while sitting on the kang with her back against the wall.
When the rooster crows once, Yuqi wakes up, of course, not by the rooster's crowing, but by hunger.
Put on the gown, the door of the house opened a crack, the yard was quiet, it was dark, even the people who often do the roof went to bed early today, it can be seen that everyone is tired.
With a sigh, he turned back to the house, lay down on the bed again, fell asleep again in a daze, and when he woke up, it was already three poles of the sun.
After resting for a few days, she finally relieved herself and returned to her previous liveliness, nothing has changed, but her skin is much darker than some time ago, Tinker Bell laughs at her every time she sees her, and the angry Yuqi goes to the big river of space every night to take a bath, just thinking that she is changing back, even if it is not so white, but it can't be so dark.
On the afternoon of the sixth day of the tenth month, Jiuyi ran over.
"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, grandpa told you all to go, saying that there is something to discuss. ”
When Fan Junjiang heard that it was his father, he put down the things in his hand and asked, "Did your grandfather say what happened?"
Jiuyi shook her head: "I didn't say it." ”
"Okay, you go back first, and I'll go over. ”
Yuqi frowned, looked at Jiuyi, only to see him wink at himself, run out with a smile, and look at him like that, he knew that it was the eldest brother who told his grandfather about it.
――
Grandpa and Grandma sat on the top of the hall, several men sat together, several concubines also gathered together, and the younger generation all stood in the room, and talked in a whisper.
Fan Jiahao saw that everyone had arrived, coughed lightly, and cleared his throat.
"Junfeng came to me today and told me that Yinghuan wanted to buy a few acres of land in the village to breed there. ”
"River mussels. Yinghuan interjected.
"Yes, it's the river mussel, Yinghuan said, this river mussel can produce a few beads a month, each is now priced at one or two pieces of silver, now even if it is a river mussel with an acre of land, it is a lot of silver in a month, Yinghuan said, we are all surnamed Fan, a family, the matter of making silver, I can't leave you, let me call you, ask if you are willing to do it, if you want, everyone will share the silver to buy land. ”
Fan Junfeng had long known his son's thoughts, but his younger brothers had never known about it, and now when they heard about this good thing, they all hurriedly asked Yinghuan.
Yuqi pursed her lips and smiled, the eldest brother can be regarded as carrying this pot for himself, and this idea is not fake, and it is also well thought out.
A few uncles have nothing to say about their own good things, they can't make a fortune in their own silence, but they don't care about the second and third uncles' families, since they want to do it, then everyone comes together, buys a few acres of wasteland, everyone shares it evenly, and there is not much silver, so that the second and third uncles can not hold grudges, but also let everyone come in harmony, why not.
The three concubines all praised the sister-in-law for raising a good son, not only sensible, but also able to lead her family to get rich, which is really rare.
Fan Youshi is also very proud that his eldest son can do such a thing, and he is very pleased.
"Have you figured it out? ”
"Dad, let's think about it, let's follow Yinghuan. ”
"Dad, so do we. ”
Fan Jiahao saw that his four sons agreed, grinned happily, and patted his thighs:
"Okay, then it's decided, Yinghuan, tell me what you have planned. ”
Fan Yinghuan took a few steps forward, a little embarrassed, in fact, this matter was thought of by Sister Qi, but she carried this good reputation on her back, and she felt very embarrassed.
In my sister's words, I am too young to be convincing at all, and I am not the same in turn, think about it, in the end, the two discussed, one did the planning behind the scenes, and the other carried out in front, and the two did not delay, knowing the truth of this matter except for Fan Dahe, even his closest brother did not know.
"Uncles, I plan to be like this, let's buy four acres of wasteland first, and the family will pay a tael of silver, while the ground is not frozen yet, we will quickly dig out the land and make a pond, so that we can put the river mussels in for breeding, of course, put it in now, I am afraid that it will be in the spring of the next year to catch the river mussels and take pearls. ”
In winter, the water in the river is frozen, and of course you can't catch it, so don't extract the beads.
Yinghuan saw that a few uncles didn't react, and continued:
"As for how to divide this silver, I will explain in detail, the brothers settle the accounts, one yard is one yard, and family affection cannot be confused. ”
A few uncles felt that what the eldest nephew said made sense, so they didn't interrupt and listened attentively.
"When it comes to taking the beads, a family comes out of a person, everyone counts together, after the work, I and Sister Yuqi go to sell together, now the price of this bead is one or two silver, if we sell a hundred beads now, then what we get is one hundred taels of silver, and then our four families divide it equally, one is twenty-five taels, if it is because there are more beads in the later period, the buyer wants to reduce the price, then I will inform you, uncles look like it is feasible?"
