Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Adhering to the principle of respecting the fate of others, Huo Yunchao explained something to people like Zhou Zhixiong: "Dad, some people are born different. They are born to like the same sex. In fact, not only people, many animals also have this kind of behavior." A tendency to be different.”

Huo Tianxiang was shocked, stared at Huo Yunchao's face, and asked him: "Chao'er, where did you learn this?"

Huo Yunchao's answer was 70% true and 30% false: "Some are what I heard from others, and some are things written down in books. There is a word called the habit of cutting sleeves, which talks about good masculinity. Some wealthy families My young master knows how to raise prostitutes... Dad, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?"

Listening to the eldest son talking endlessly about being a good man, Huo Tianxiang's views exploded. It took him a while to find his voice: "Chao'er, you have never told me about studying before. I thought that studying It’s all about teaching you how to behave in the world.”

Huo Yunchao explained with a smile: "Dad, people are divided into good and bad people, and books are also divided into good and bad. Not every book in the bookstore can be called a sage book, and there are many miscellaneous books and unofficial histories that record many messy and incomprehensible things. I usually regard the old anecdotes based on textual research as novel and interesting stories to entertain me."

Huo Tianxiang tensed up his face and hesitated for a long time before asking: "Chao'er, will Mrs. Zheng be bullied by someone named Zhou?"

Huo Yunchao shook his head: "Brother Zheng said that Zhou didn't dare to use force on him. Dad, Brother Zheng said that he and Zhou grew up together, and he can handle it."

Before Huo Tianxiang had time to speak, he heard Huo Yunchao say again: "By the way, dad, I boasted that you would make a grain fan machine for Brother Zheng."

Woolen cloth. Do you have time to make one for Brother Zheng first? "

Huo Tianxiang's attention suddenly shifted to the Gufeng machine: "Why do you need to remind you about such an important thing? I have finished most of the Gufeng machine for Mrs. Zheng, and only the last step of assembly is left. I can send it to Mrs. Zheng early tomorrow morning. .”

"Dad, ginger is still hotter than old. I'm not as thoughtful as you."

Huo Yunchao poured ecstasy soup into his father's mouth as usual, and said more nice words. You are happy, I am happy, and everyone is happy.

Huo Tianxiang remembered a very important thing: "By the way, in a few days, the county government will send people to collect taxes. Chao'er, don't leave home if you have nothing to do. When the government officials come to collect taxes, you must stay at home to collect taxes for Xu." The family supports the facade, and also helps Ning Niang."

Huo Yunchao didn't understand and asked: "Huh? Dad, aren't you waiting for the wheat harvest to collect taxes?"

In his heart, Huo Tianxiang still did not regard his eldest son as a farmer, but still treated Huo Yunchao as a scholar. He was too lazy to talk to Huo Yunchao too carefully: "You see, you don't understand? Don't worry about so many things. Just listen to me and don't worry about anything. Just go out and stay at home.”

Huo Yunchao wanted to ask in detail how the tax was collected, but his father waved his hand like he was shooing away flies and said, "Don't be a doorkeeper here, Lao Chu. There are so many jobs in the family, you can't leave them all to Ning Niang! Go back and give Ning Niang Help me!"

Huo Yunchao raised his head and glanced at his father. Seeing his face full of impatience, he silently swallowed back the words that came to his lips: "Okay."

After finally sending his eldest son away, Huo Tianxiang let out a breath. He had to take some time to sort out the explosive information that Huo Yunchao had revealed.

His three views exploded into pieces, and he had to take some time to get rid of his three views.

Put it back together.

Huo Tianxiang started to recall the time when Lu Ba broke into Xu's house at night, and then connected all the jokes made by Lu, Lu Ba, Xu Dadun and others one by one.

He slapped his thigh suddenly: "Hey! The world is as black as a crow!"

Huo Yunze came back from school and happened to hear this sentence when he entered the door. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Dad, have you encountered any problems?"

"No, no, no, no, it's nothing. I just want to understand something."

Naturally, Huo Tianxiang would not talk about those messy things to his young second son. He asked with concern: "Ze'er, what knowledge did you learn today? That brat Hai'er ran out to play again, waiting for you to do what Master Zheng arranged. As for homework, we have to catch up with Haier’s homework and don’t let him play around all day long.”

"it is good."

When Huo Yunze saw that his father was unwilling to talk, he was not too curious and was more concerned about practical issues: "Dad, will the government officials come to collect taxes soon?"

Huo Tianxiang said happily: "Yes, thanks to the pesticides your eldest brother learned from the book, 50% of the paddy field that was originally about to be harvested was saved. According to the situation reported before, after paying the tax this time, our family will still have 30% to 50% left." There are ten kilograms of millet. Let your mother cook the rice a few more times then!"

Huo Yunze nodded repeatedly and asked another question: "Dad, do we no longer need a fan to blow the rice? If the rice is blown too clean, it will not be worthwhile to pay taxes."

Huo Tianxiang replied matter-of-factly: "Then you must wait until the tax is paid before using the grain fan machine. No matter how light the thin-shelled millet is, it still weighs ten or twenty kilograms. By the way, the second grain fan machine was specially made for Mr. Zheng. .Ze'er, come and help me first. After assembling, you can do your homework. Tomorrow morning,

I can send it to Mrs. Zheng’s house. "

His father did all the bulk of the work of making Gu Fengji. Huo Yunze just helped assemble it, which didn't take much time.

The original person was indifferent to food and work, and never cared about family affairs. Huo Yunchao was unable to find out the relevant information about taxation from the original person's memory, and went home with a lot of questions.

As soon as Huo Yunchao entered the door, he asked Xu Ning: "Mother Ning, when will the government officials come to collect taxes? Dad didn't tell me in detail and asked me to stay at home these days."

Xu Ning looked puzzled: "Huh? Li Zheng didn't come to the house to inform us. Could it be that dad forgot to tell us?"

"Eh?"

Huo Yunchao hurriedly asked: "Then the government officials are here to collect taxes. Do we need to make any additional preparations?"

"No, dad has a good relationship with the government officials, so there is no need to do anything extra. Speaking of tax collection, our rice output seems to be two bags more than in previous years?"

Xu Ning is not sure about the specific amount of increased production, but she is in charge of all matters at home, and there are indeed two bags more rice in the warehouse than in previous years.

Huo Yunchao was not satisfied with this data: "Ah? There are only two more bags of rice in this crop?"

Xu Ning comforted him: "Ms., it's great to increase the yield of two bags of rice. This shows that the methods you learned from the book to increase production and income are useful. We specially selected grain seeds this time, and we have fertilizers to enrich the fields. If you strictly follow the instructions in the book, there will definitely be a more obvious increase in yield during the autumn harvest!"

Huo Yunchao looked at Xu Ning with bright eyes, who trusted him wholeheartedly. He held her hand very emotionally, put it to his lips and kissed her hotly: "Madam, I will not let you down."

Xu Ning blushed with embarrassment, but she didn't directly pull away like before.

open. She didn't object to Huo Yunchao's affectionate behavior, but she just didn't get used to it so quickly.

In the evening, Butcher Xu returned home and saw a washbasin and washcloth filled with clean water when he entered the door.

Huo Yunchao greeted him with a cheerful voice: "Dad Xu, you are back! Wash your face and hands and come to eat."
