After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

"Jin boy, why are you starting to plow the floor of your house now? Is it too early?"

"Yes, rice is planted in March and April, and the land is plowed in the first month. By then, isn't the land already hardened?"

There are those who sincerely care and ask, and there are those who speak harshly and ridicule.

Fan Qian felt a sour taste in his heart when he saw that his younger brother didn't have to dig the ground himself in this field. He only had to hold the plow and let the ox and donkey work.

The words that came out were sarcastic: "Are you stupid from studying? How can you start plowing now?

Besides, you have a cow and a donkey, so why are you so anxious? Those of us who dig the ground with hoes are not in a hurry. Why are you so anxious? "

Then he said in a voice that could be heard by everyone around him: "No wonder he keeps failing in the scientific examinations. If he can pass the examination with his brain, he will have to smoke from his ancestral graves!"

Fan Jin was in the field and could not hear clearly what his eldest brother said behind him, but he could read his face and knew his character well. He knew that based on past experience, he would not say good things.

The family has been separated and everyone is living their own lives. Life is gradually getting better for him. He doesn’t want to have a meaningless quarrel with his eldest brother. He just replied to the person who asked him kindly before: "Everyone still remembers that last year Shui Qing discovered a species in the wild woods. Yuanyuan, do you want to eat?"

Normally, everyone would not remember it, but that day was the first day when chicken head rice was exchanged for rice. Who could not remember the white rice? !

Moreover, several families in the village were clamoring for returns that day, and there was another commotion before Shui Qing came back with a basket of dark things. Some people joked that they would order some seeds after they were planted.

Someone immediately asked: "Is that food edible?"

"Have you grown it yet?"

"Is it delicious? How does it taste?"

Fan Jin didn't hide or tuck him in - even if he lived in a village, he couldn't hide or tuck him in.

He said briefly: "I can't tell you the taste, but my family really likes to eat it, so I want to grow more of it."

The excited man asked: "How to plant? Do you know how to plant? How much will you harvest?"

Fan Jin shook his head and said implicitly: "We are not very good at it, we just planted it according to the experience of planting in the vegetable field last year;

Because we could harvest in four months last year, Shui Qingyi and I figured that if there were heavy floods in summer, if we plant now, we might be able to harvest by then, but we don’t know whether we can harvest or how much we can harvest. . "

He can't say whether it tastes good or not, nor can he say anything about his planting experience, nor can he say how much the harvest will be. Otherwise, what if they plant according to what he said, but it doesn't meet expectations?

It's easy to cause trouble.

And after saying this, there are still people who are willing to try planting. Even if it is not good, they cannot blame them. After all, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Fan Qian sneered: "You are my biological brother. What else do you think you can do besides reading? What do you know about farming?"

If you don’t know how to grow rice and wheat, and you still want to plant things you haven’t grown before, isn’t this a waste of land?

I said if you don’t want to grow rice, sell your land to me to save waste! "

Aunt Zhang was originally behind the crowd and already wanted to follow Fan Jin's footsteps and grow this kind of thing. Just as she was about to listen to the follow-up, she heard Fan Qian's strange sarcasm.

Suddenly she was even angrier than Fan Jin, and asked loudly back: "Tell me, you are the elder brother, why can't you see your younger brother? What you said is so ugly!

Besides, this field is yours? Ruined your field? Do you want you to tell others what to plant? "

Fan Qian blushed when he was told that, and he turned around and saw that the person coming was Aunt Zhang, who was older than him and a woman, so he felt that it would be disgraceful to win the argument.

And you may not be able to win the argument!

He immediately swung his sleeves and said angrily: "Then he said this, what if the people in the village follow the planting? After working hard for several months, there will be no harvest, who will be responsible?!"

Aunt Zhang curled her lips and hummed: "Whoever wants to plant will be responsible! You are not a three-year-old child, so you can't make your own decision. Since you are an adult, how can others force you to plant?

Besides, what you said is funny. Even if this thing was found in the wild, we still have to dig it out, right? Why should others give it to you for free?

Is it because I have nothing to do, or because I think you look good, I have to send it to your home for you to plant? "

Those words made the surrounding people burst into laughter!

Ling Ran laughed extra loudly and clapped vigorously.

The corners of Fan Jin's lips also raised.

Fan Qianqian's face turned red and white, and after a while, he pointed at Aunt Zhang and said sarcastically: "You just followed my brother and earned some food and wages last year.

Nowadays, no matter whether his family is good or bad, you can praise it as good.

Just wait and see, just wait and cry when you have worked hard for several months and get nothing! "

Aunt Zhang's family's fertile land was lost to Uncle Zhang's gambling during his lifetime. Their family only had more than [-] acres of meager land. The food of so many people in the family depended on the harvest of this land for a year.

If there is no harvest, we will starve to death!

There was no time to cry anymore.

Aunt Zhang is now determined to follow the footsteps of Shuiqing's family!

Instead of taking Fan Qian’s ridicule to heart, he expressed his attitude: “Don’t worry, it’s better than following you!

I don’t want things from other people’s houses for nothing. I will ask Shuiqing later if I can change them and how to change them. If I can change them, I will plant them.

Whether it's good or not is also my business, it's not your business to worry about. "

Many of the other people watching were moved after hearing this.

Aunt Zhang's family has no farmland, only a few thin fields, but their family has a lot of land, and the harvest of various types is not good. You can use it to try this.

Among the crowd, Wang Guifen was the most excited. She quickly turned around and went home to discuss it with her father-in-law.

If we follow what Fan Jin said, we can harvest in about four months, and maybe we can avoid the summer rainy season. The dozen or so people in the family, old and young, all stutter to some extent.

It doesn’t matter if it tastes good or not, and it doesn’t matter if the harvest is good or not, as long as it can be harvested before summer.

After Wang Guifen left, Fan Qian also left awkwardly.

Seeing that most of the people left behind were discussing with Fan Jin, Aunt Zhang turned around and went to find Shui Qing.

Shui Qing is peeling potatoes at home.

Cut off each potato at the bud point, and wrap the cut surface with plant ash.

The extra chunks in the middle of the potatoes are thrown into a basket on the side to be burned during cooking.

Looking at the half-filled basket of potato cubes, she sighed deeply. During this period, she would have to eat potatoes every day.

Hearing Aunt Zhang's intention, she immediately pointed to the bamboo basket and said excitedly: "Here, you can put some back and stir-fry, steam, boil and roast them. You will know the taste after you try them!"

No matter how delicious the potatoes are, they can’t be eaten every day.

She didn't want to eat every meal every day until she didn't want to see the potatoes.

Aunt Zhang waved her hands quickly, "I didn't come here to ask for it for free! Aunt Zhang wants to trade with you. Do you want rice or charcoal?"

Helpers are also available. If you are short of people, Xiaocao, Tieniu and Muniu and I are all idle now. "
