Looking at the empty herd, Lin He sighed.

"Sure enough, it's too simple for me to think, I thought it would be troublesome again, and it would be no problem to make up a herd of cattle in three or five years, but I didn't expect that these three years have passed, and there are not even twenty cows."

Li Changhui held Lin He's hand, and the two walked hand in hand in the field, the cold wind was a little cold, but the heat from Li Changhui's palm made Lin He very warm.

"That's because you don't want to compete with others, if you really want to buy calves, don't say more, forty or fifty heads are still no problem."

Lin He shook his head again and again: "That's not good, everyone has to use ploughing cattle, there are many places and a whole village, there are only one or two cows, if I buy them all, what if people work." ”

Li Changhui smiled, he knew it would be like this.

In the past few years, it's not that he can't buy calves at all, it's just that Lin He is unwilling to compete with others, so he just asks the people in the grocery store to help pay attention, and if someone's calf is not good, they will buy it.

But ploughing cattle, where is there a bad shot, at most the cow is a little less than the number of people who buy it, even so, these dozen cows have also been sent from all over the Guanzhou government in recent years.

However, Lin He's resentment was only temporary, and after comforting himself, he quickly regained his spirits.

"But this year several cows have grown up, and if nothing else, there will be several more cows next year, and every year or two, maybe even every year, there will be cows pregnant and calving."

That way, her herd will soon be able to expand!

Li Changhui just smiled, he didn't have any obsession with the herd, Lin He was happy.

The two of them walked around, walked around the field, and then went to the fish pond, where there were some dilapidated lotus leaves.

After digging the pond and releasing the water, Lin He went to buy a few catties of lotus root seeds, found nearby children, and asked them to help grind out the openings at both ends of the lotus seeds, and then sprinkled all the seeds in the pond.

Planting lotus roots with seeds is very slow, but Lin He is not in a hurry, in the first year, you can almost only see lotus leaves, and the growth is also sparse, last year, there were already large lotus leaves in the fish pond.

Last summer, Lin He also specially found a small boat to go into the water to pick lotus flowers and lotus flowers in the pond.

There are even some rich ladies in the city who are quite leisurely and elegant, who come here to enjoy the lotus flowers.

A fish surfaced, sensed someone, flicked its tail, touched the dry lotus leaf, and rippled in circles.

"There should be a lot of fish in this pond, and when we can dig lotus roots this year, let's put the water in it and catch fish by the way."

The Li family's rice field fish, every year before harvesting the rice, everyone began to put water to catch fish, at first everyone did not think so, but after trying, I really found that this fish is much better than usual.

So every year when it is time for the rice to be harvested, someone will order from the Li family in advance, and they will try to buy as much as possible to go home, and it will not be in the way for a period of time.

So much so that for most of the month, the business of the fishermen in the city who delivered fish everywhere would also be affected, but fortunately, there was not much of a problem.

The Li family's things are already more expensive than the general ones, and many ordinary people will still choose other people's things.

"I think I can dig lotus root now, didn't you say two days ago that the lotus root powder at home is gone? It's better to wait for Changqiang to come back, and then release the water to dig the lotus root, it happens that the weather has been cold recently, and the fish can also be sent farther. ”

During the Chinese New Year, Li Changqiang took his wife and children and cousin Liu Dong'er back to the town, which is half a month every year, after all, he is usually busy and has no time.

Calculate the time, it will be back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then you can catch the Lantern Festival and take the children to the city to see the lanterns.

There is a female school in Nanzhi County, Li Changqiang's two daughters, and Liu Dong'er, who were all sent to school two years ago, and they also teach children to read and reason.

However, unlike the boys' academy, the etiquette and music of the six arts of the gentleman and the archery were replaced by those of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female red.

It's always good to learn more things, in the past two years, Liu Dong'er has been visible to the naked eye, a little more elegant and dignified, quite a bit like a young lady, and an ordinary village girl, distanced herself.

Even when she gets home, she still helps cook and clean up the house, and when she rests, she will go to work in the fields.

In this way, Lin He felt that this female student was also a good thing.

I heard that Dong'er would teach Qingyu to read and embroider at night, but Lin He didn't care, it was their little sister's business.

Lin He thought for a while: "It's okay, I didn't pay attention to the number of lotus roots last year, they were all sold, this time the lotus root first left a thousand catties to make lotus root powder, and just enough to keep the tip of the lotus root, and plant it in the lotus root field in February." ”

Three acres of lotus root field, not only lotus root, in summer, lotus seeds and leaves can be sold.

Especially lotus leaf tea, it can clear the heat and dampness, clear the dredging and stop bleeding, and it is no problem to put it for a year and a half, and you can also make a small profit when you send it to the grocery store.

All in all, in Lin He's eyes, there is nothing that can't be sold for money!

While the two were talking, they saw an aunt coming from a distance.

Lin He suddenly frowned: "Why is she here again." ”
