Chapter 4 begins land preparation
After a night of rain, it finally stopped when the sky was bright, and Fugui'er took this opportunity to carefully remove the head leaning on his shoulder, and stepped out of the house on the mud.
The idle house of the long workshop was full of dry reeds, which must have been cut by the laborers of the workshop to weave curtains, and Fugui sorted out two bundles of dried reeds, and drove back two carts of earth with a donkey cart.
When the two little girls came out of the house with their worried eyes, Fuguier had already reconciled the grass and mud, and was now stepping on the ladder to spread reeds on the roof, lifting the rotten wheat straw, and spreading a layer of reeds, and then spreading a thick layer of grass mud on top of the reeds, and then spreading a layer of reeds on top of the grass mud.
The leakage of this house Fuguier worked alone for a morning, and after repairing the house, Fuguier did not come down from the roof, but sat on the roof alone, looking at the large reed field stupidly.
Fugui'er sitting on the roof of the house was like petrified, even if the rain that had stopped all morning in the afternoon fell again, Fugui'er still sat motionless, and the adults and children in the entire workshop saw it that day the stupid young master of the Zhu family who was in the rain and on the roof, he was really stupid.
In the evening, under the vigorous call of the nurse Chun Xi'er, Fuguier finally climbed down from the roof.
The house stopped leaking, the windows were re-labeled with window paper, and lying on the simple big bed, Fugui'er had a fever......
At this time, the young master was experiencing a grind that he had never experienced in his life, his whole body was as hot and stinging as if he had fallen into an oil pot, his two eyes seemed to jump out of his sockets, and there were thousands of insects in his head that were desperately biting, making people want to knock it open with a hammer.
"Young master, young master, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"
Looking at Fugui'er on the bed, who was frowning and trembling all over, Chun Xi'er stood beside the bed and asked eagerly.
"Ah, young master, your illness has occurred again, how is this good?"
Chun Xi'er hurriedly fumbled for the palm lamp, but under the flickering light, she found that Fugui's face was like pig's liver, full of sweat, and her scarlet eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"Didn't you say that Chong Xi would be fine? Why is this done again, you wait for the young master, I will go to the master to invite you Langzhong," as she spoke, Chun Xi'er hurriedly put on her coat and prepared to leave the house.
"Don't go...... It's not that ...... The entire county town is ....... Isn't it good to see? …… I'm pretty ......."
At this time, Fugui had a little difficulty speaking, but his consciousness was still quite sober.
"I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, is it because there is no round house? Or...... Why don't you come? ”
At this time, Shao Ying stood by the bed and saw Fuguier's painful appearance, she couldn't help but feel guilty, took off her shoes and went to bed while talking, and carefully lay down beside Fuguier.
"No....... no, nothing is wrong with you," Fuguier is a modern person's thinking, and he never believes in the thing that Chong Xi saves his life, and glances at Shao Ying, who is already lying flat, looking like he is slaughtered by the king, and he wants to laugh but can't laugh.
"Collect money from people to eliminate disasters for others, you better come, I don't know how to, you ...... lightly"
Shao Ying's words show her style, and she earns money to eliminate disasters for others, and her words are round and her voice is loud, but the words behind her are as thin as mosquitoes and flies, and she is typically lacking in confidence.
"You're not very good at fucking, you just won't be good at all," Fugui'er secretly pondered in her heart, she really wanted to give Shao Ying a kick that caused trouble, but it was difficult to deal with her own pain, and she didn't have that strength or that mood.
"Chun Xi'er, you help me miss ......"
Fugui'er thought about it for a while, and felt that this bell still had to be tied to the bell, and a few books found from Daoye's house were all under the pillow, and he took out the booklet that gathered qi to build a foundation, and opened it to look at it but found that his vision was a little blurred.
"Close your eyes and sit with your heart meditated, hold your hands and meditate on God, knock your teeth thirty-six, and hold Kunlun with both hands...... The river cart moved the cloud wall, and wanted to burn himself......"
Chun Xi'er read the pamphlet carefully, Fugui'er tried her best to concentrate her consciousness, silently reciting the mantra in her heart to guide the torrent in her body, the hot and stinging feeling gradually weakened, and at this time there seemed to be a long-lasting tug-of-war going on in Fugui's body.
Fugui'er carefully used his mind to pull the torrent slowly to his dantian, but the torrent was like a naughty child, often only stopping in the dantian for a while and playing around, running away in the body.
Shao Ying saw that Fugui'er stopped talking for a long time, and looked up to see Fugui'er sitting there with a calm expression and smooth breathing, like an old monk who had settled down, and the two little girls didn't dare to say anything at this time, and quietly accompanied them around, waiting for the young master to wake up.
When Fugui'er woke up, the sky was already bright, and a few roosters in the workshop in the distance were crowing hoarsely, Chun Xi'er was lying on the edge of the bed with a booklet in her hand, and her saliva was flowing out of her sleep, and then she looked at Shao Ying, but saw her little hands tugging at the placket of her clothes, as if she was afraid that others would take advantage of her when she was asleep.
Fuguier knew that the two little girls hadn't slept well last night, so she got up and went to the ground gently, for fear of disturbing their dreams.
For the industrious peasants, the early morning of June is the most productive time of the day, so everyone gets up early, but when these peasants go to the fields, they find that someone is earlier than them.
At this moment, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was working in the field, I saw him holding a sickle bare-chested, arching himself and hooking up a clump of reeds with a sickle and gently bringing it back, his left hand grabbed the hooked reed, and the sickle in his right hand was handed out again, but this time it slid to the root of the reed, and his arm suddenly exerted force, and with a crisp sound, a large piece of reed fell to the ground instantly.
This series of skillful and smooth movements, everyone was stunned, no one thought that this usually stupid young master still has such skills, this is the first time to do this job, and I don't believe it, but the facts are in front of you, no matter if you don't believe it.
In the previous life, Hailong was born in the countryside since he was a child, and his father was the first group of people in the village to open a factory, at that time, the foundry at home had just started, his father and uncle stayed in the factory every day, and his mother was taking care of more than ten acres of land at home, so on weekends, Hailong always let his mother drag him to do farm work together, although Hailong was extremely reluctant, but the foundation laid since childhood, the living sea dragon of this farmland is also handy.
Yes, it is Zhu Sheng and Zhu Fugui, the fourth young master of the Zhu family, who is cutting reeds in the field at this moment, and a large piece of reeds has fallen behind him, and he has been working for a long time.
On this day, Fuguier grew in this reed field, the weather in June, the sun just rose and it was so poisonous that people couldn't stand it, Fuguier's body had already been cut out of the reed leaves out of a bloody mouth, and was soaked in the sweat that kept rising, and a pain that drilled the heart spread all over the body, this pain was the best heart booster for Fuguier, always reminding him not to fall.
I couldn't do it anymore, so I fell on the reeds on the ground, rested for a while, poured a belly of well water with a clatter, got up and used the sickle again.
Approaching noon, Fugui'er's physical strength was almost exhausted, and the speed of cutting reeds dropped significantly, but Fuguier did not give up and gritted her teeth and persevered.
"Nurse, why are you, stop, this is not a woman's job,"
Fugui was doing it, but he found that there was a figure beside him who was also cutting reeds with a sickle, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was a wet nurse.
"Okay, I carried it with you, there is nothing that women shouldn't do, I have nine sisters, on the day my ninth sister was born, my father saw that he was a girl again, so he hanged himself, a family of ten women, don't you work in the field? At the beginning, the eldest sister took over the burden, the eldest sister got married, the second sister took over, the second sister got married, and the third sister took over ......"
The wet nurse was working while talking to Fugui, in fact, although the wet nurse gave birth to three children, she is only twenty-two now, which is the most vigorous age in a person's life.
It is false that men and women are not tired from working together, but this does reduce the boredom of work, and the rich and noble finally dragged their tired bodies back to their humble house under the sun.
Zhu Dali, a laborer in the Zhu family's oil mill, is a wooden and sturdy man, the family has just had dinner, the women in the family are sitting on the side of the kang with the soles of their shoes, several children are laughing and playing on the kang, and Dali is sitting on the bench with a whetstone, sharpening his sickle.
"I said in charge, now it's time to hang the sickle and carry the hoe, why are you sharpening your sickle again?" The woman put the needle in her hand in her hair and glanced up at her man.
"You don't want to help that fool cut the reeds, do you? I can tell you, you can't go, this Zhu family gave him this broken land, it must be the new fourth aunt and grandmother who are deliberately rectifying him, don't you go to help Isn't this blocking the fourth aunt's wife? If the fourth aunt and grandmother know about it, we can't afford to blame it......"
Seeing that her man didn't speak, the woman directly put down the business in her hand and taught her man a lesson.
"People can't have no conscience, if it weren't for the fourth young master who borrowed two taels of silver from you to catch the medicine for Chunsheng, this Chunsheng would have been gone a long time ago, and after so many years, you have repaid the silver of the fourth young master?"
"That's stupid, there are more people in the neighborhood who have borrowed his money, and I haven't seen anyone pay him back, so you are honest......"
"You're not stupid, you usually never want to suffer, and you have a hurtful mouth, we got sick that year, you begged your father to tell your grandmother everywhere, can someone in this neighborhood borrow your article? It doesn't matter if people are stupid or not, but you can't be a man without a conscience, a widow is not afraid of stalls, what am I afraid of as a man......"
After the man finished speaking, he put away the sickle, stepped on the night and did not look back, the workshop was within a hundred steps of the reed field, the man got into the reeds, and the sickle was cut up, the man put down a piece and got up to rest, but faintly heard the sound of the sickle cutting the reeds in other parts of the reed field.
"People are doing it, the sky is watching, this good person has a good reward after all, it seems that he is not the only one who helps the fourth young master at night......"
With a shallow smile on the man's face, he spat into the palm of his hand, and clenched the sickle harder.
After resting all night, Fuguier got up early the next day, but yesterday he was a little violent, and his body was a little sore.
But Fugui'er felt that something was wrong when he was doing it, and often after a while, an open area would come out, looking at the reeds lying on the ground, obviously just put them down, did someone secretly help me, Fugui'er simply put down the sickle and walked through the reeds.
There are really people who help, and these people are also interesting, they all open the sickle from the middle of the ground, and they can't see anything from the outside, but when they walk in, they find that there is a large area of empty space in the whole reed field.
"Hey, no matter him, it's always good to have someone to help, but I don't know who the helper is, and when I know it later, thank him well!"
couldn't hide the joy in her heart, Fuguier picked up her sickle again, this mood was good, and it was naturally a lot easier to work.
Fuguier thought that it would take twenty days for these thirty acres of land to be put down, but with the help of external forces, the work of cutting reeds only took eight days, sitting on the ground and looking at the flat behind him, Fuguier showed a real smile on his face for the first time in this world.
"Young master, you have finally finished cutting this reed, but what are we planting in this land?" As night fell, Chun Xi'er sat cross-legged beside Fugui'er, and asked softly while helping him rub his arm.
"If you don't plant it, what can you plant in this broken ground. Shao Ying, don't eat, I can't eat enough every day, tomorrow I will go to the city to help me find ten beggars under the age of ten, male or female, just say that I come to my Zhu family to herd sheep in the reeds, three meals a day, and thirty yuan of pocket money per month. ”
"Really, young master? Then I thank you in advance for those hard-working children, young master, I will kowtow to you," Shao Yingteng jumped to the ground as he spoke, knelt on the ground and began to kowtow to Fuguier.
"Just kowtow, get up quickly, let's go to bed early, and you'll go early tomorrow morning."
Listening to Fugui's words, Shao Ying was full of joy, but Chun Xi'er had a stomach to ask, why did the young master already say that he was sleeping, so he would not be able to disturb him anymore.
Fugui'er said that she was sleeping, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, and ran the qi-gathering magic skill twice, but her excited brain was still difficult to calm down, she turned over and hugged Chun Xi'er into her arms, and a pair of sinful big hands made small movements.
"The young master usually only touches his ears......" Chun Xi'er obviously didn't fall asleep, feeling the young master's presumptuousness, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing Shao Ying, who was sleeping on the side, and secretly comforted herself in her heart, anyway, sooner or later, it will be his person, just let him do it.
Distracted, sleepiness gradually came, after all, after a tired day, Chun Xi'er was shyly looking forward to it, but she waited for the young master's snoring.
