Chapter 59: The Entanglement of Farming
"I think the second family is stupid to raise their children."
Sure enough, Jiang told Mrs. Zhang about picking flowers in the morning when Jiang went back.
"Otherwise, mother, do you think, is the child in the second family weird?
On weekdays, I don't fight much when I see people greeting me every day, and I look at people in a panic. How old are they, two years will be the age to get married, and I don't know how to help the family.
Every day is either picking flowers or fruits, and the third family is ...... than her."
As soon as Mei You was mentioned, Mrs. Zhang's eyes glared at the Jiang family, and she immediately stopped mentioning Mei You, and then said: "I see, the roots of the second family are probably broken here, and the Wei family can't give birth to children, and the only girl who gave birth to is still stupid......"
When it comes to giving birth to a child, the Jiang family is quite complacent, as soon as Mei Lian enters the house, she sees his mother's proud face, no wonder her grandmother sighs every time she looks at her mother.
"You deserve it, just those two rooms, you deserve to have no sons, unfilial things...... No one fell after he died. ”
"That's it, our Lao Mei family is just An An, a man, and these of them who are uncles don't even have a queen, and they don't know how to treat us An'an better."
Jiang Shi was helping on the side, and soon her eyes rolled and she suddenly said: "Yes, mother, you said that our An An is currently the only male in the Lao Mei family, why didn't their uncle express it?" ”
Hearing Jiang's proposal, Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up, Mei Lian stopped talking when she saw this, and looked at her mother's gaze, which was speechless than looking at Mei Berry.
Mei Lian sighed secretly, now she can only find a way to let her mother not do it herself.
***
I didn't know what was going on in the Mei family's old house, so Mei Berry listened to her mother's words, washed the honeysuckle and mulberry leaves, and put them in the dustpan and put them in the yard to dry.
Wei Meili looked at the sun, looked at the honeysuckle and mulberry leaves, and said, "In a few days, you and your father will go to the town again, in addition to buying chrysanthemums, buy some Luo Han Guo and lotus leaves."
When the time comes, you can simply make a few more drinks at a time, and when the time comes, call your third aunt and they will also come over to taste the taste. ”
"Okay~"
"That's right~" Wei Meili remembered one more thing, "After you go, let the doctor give you another pulse."
Although it is said that it is two months, but the increase in these check-in tasks, I can see that your physical condition is much better, you let the doctor take a look. By the way, I will know my physical condition. ”
"Forget about this, I heard my sister say that the old doctor of the Jishitang has good skills. I said that I was in such poor health, and after a while, I was alive and kicking up and down without attracting attention? ”
Mei Berry reminded loudly, "It's okay or don't be too eye-catching, after two months, I only say that I eat well, and the old doctor can't say anything after a long time, but this time is too short, I can't say it......"
"Ah, that's right." When Wei Meili heard this, she also felt that what her daughter said was reasonable, so she no longer asked her to see a doctor.
But if Plum Berry is willing to go to town, she can follow along.
In ancient times, there was no entertainment, but fortunately, things are busy every day, otherwise it is estimated that a family of three can be suffocated.
Regarding the matter of going to the town, Wei Meili talked to Mei Youqian again at lunchtime.
Mei Youqian also kept it in his heart and said: "That's it, the day after tomorrow, I will take Mei Berry to the town, and I have been following the third child in the past two days. ”
Mei Youqian scratched his head, couldn't help but sigh and said: "You said that I haven't planted land for more than 20 years, and I still make a living by growing vegetables or something, it's this rice ......."
"What happened to the rice? Didn't you say some time ago that you were raising seedlings? ”
Seeing him like this, Wei Meili and Mei Berry's eyes all looked over.
"The paddy field that I and the third child got is relatively high."
When Mei Youqian talked about the paddy field, he said that the terrain was high, and it was on a hill if it didn't sound good.
"The paddy fields need to store water, but this year's rains have not been heavy, and there is no water in the fields." This broke Mei Sanma's heart with him recently, "You can't carry water to irrigate, right?" ”
"That's the size of an acre of land!" Wei Meili also thought that carrying water was simply funny.
"Yes, there was originally a reservoir on this mountain, but the third child and I looked at it, and there wasn't much water in that pond this year." Mei Youqian always felt that this was not a good sign.
According to him, he wanted to directly change the field and pull it when the dry land was planted.
"A lot of rice has also been distributed as a check-in reward, and we can also buy silver." Listening to his father say that he didn't want to grow rice, Mei Berry seemed to remember something.
Although it was mentioned later that there would be a big flood next year, the plum berry vaguely remembered that it seemed that the weather in the past few years was not very good.
Because the heroine in the original text hunted and later made a lot of money by doing business with a mysterious merchant, she was not at the same level as the output of those few acres of land, so she didn't talk about this year's harvest at all.
But she remembers this year's summer and winter, when the heat and cold were extreme.
The climate is not good, and for the harvest in the field, plum berries and other farming whites understand that it must have an impact.
"Dad, just do what you think, if you don't plant, you won't plant.
There is no need to tire ourselves in order to get water, and our family does not make any money from this acre of rice. You can grow something else to eat, corn, soybeans, peanuts are good. ”
Mei Berry thinks that it is not necessary to make money at this point, and the food grown is the best to eat.
Silver, you can punch in, you can do business through the system, such as this drink recipe is also good.
Besides, yesterday she and Mei You saw those persimmons and chestnuts on the mountain, and when they were in late autumn, they picked them and sold chestnuts and persimmon cakes, which was another entry.
Besides, she still has space, and it's best to fill it with a bunch of food, and she won't be afraid to wait for a big flood next year.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to the third child, he is a little dead-eyed, he has to plant rice, saying that that thing is valuable, and it has been annoying even for me for the past two days."
Seeing that his wife and children support him, Mei Youqian has no scruples, but he is secretly vigilant in his heart.
Before, he felt that the third child's temperament was too boring, and he often took him with him, wanting to influence the other party through himself, but he almost forgot that some of the influences were actually mutual.
Just like growing rice in this paddy field, just like his wife and children can see it so clearly, he is still caught in this strange circle, and he really needs to pay more attention.
Mei Berry's family talked about this paddy field, and Mei You and their family also happened to mention it at lunch.
"Then don't plant it."
Mei You is also very simple and rude, "It's not good to plant, forget it, if you really keep doing it all the time, it won't grow much if you plant it, and it's thankless." ”
"Then, how can it be, this paddy field doesn't grow rice, no, doesn't it waste it?" Mei Sanma was a little anxious, and said, "Rice, rice is expensive, a pound of eight cents!" If you remove the tax you pay, you can sell it for two taels of silver. ”
"Less than two taels of silver, do you know how much effort you have to make? Even if you have time to carry water up and down the mountain, how much do you have to pick? Can you eat with your bones? ”
Mei You still disagreed with Mei Sanma's idea, "Besides, you also said that there is no water in the pond that should be stored for water now, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no water in the back, according to what you estimated, the premise is that the harvest is good."
If the harvest is not good, what do you think you can earn from that paddy field? ”
"This ......"
"Besides, our family also made a lot of money from the tiger before, instead of planting rice and selling it, it is better to eat more food, and the grain grown on four acres of land can be taxed, so that our family can barely eat enough.
At present, our family does not think about making money, but it is very important to consider the problem of our family being full. ”
Mei You is quite obsessed with food, and she can accept wheat and corn regardless of rice.
She had bought grain once in the town before, and to be honest, the price was expensive and the processed products were very average.
No wonder her parents bought corn kernels and wheat directly and came back to have them milled at the village mill.
Although a tenth of the grind is given to the mill, it is generally cheaper than two points in the town.
Therefore, Mei You's idea is similar to that of the Mei Berry family, as long as it is planted for the family to eat, and rice is not forced.
Mei Sanma was speechless, but he still didn't make up his mind immediately, and Mei You didn't say anything when he saw this.
He had to figure this out on his own, but thinking that his father had mentioned Meiberry and them just now, Meiyou felt that she could ask Meiberry about the situation.
However, Mei You didn't expect that she was not the only one who went to look for Meiberry in the afternoon, and even Mrs. Zhang actually came......
Mrs. Zhang: I'm here again!
Plum berry: More diligent than the gray wolf~
