Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 43: Sparing the Duck
Su Muyao?
The little baby opened his eyes wide, as if he realized something, and shouted to Old Lady Su, "Spare the duck."
Oh my goodness, now you can even understand a duck's language?
Isn't it said that only spiritual creatures can do this? This native duck can also do it.
But she quickly calmed down. After all, she could understand the animal language of the white wolf and the tiger, so it didn't matter if there were more ducks.
After all, this duck has lived with her for half a year. It can be considered half of her friend. Now it has asked for help. She can't just stand by and watch it die, right?
Old Mrs. Su still maintained her original appearance, looking at the little girl at the door.
I saw the little kid still standing at the door in a daze, as if thinking about something.
Just now, my little granddaughter said to spare the duck, and the hand holding the knife didn't know what to do with it.
"My dear, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Su Muyao came back to her senses, "It's okay, can we not kill this duck?"
"What I mean is that I won't kill it anymore. This little duck is my friend. If you want to eat its meat, I'll ask Xiaobai to catch it for home."
Old Mrs. Su let go of the duck's wings. The duck was so frightened that it hid behind Su Muyao, trembling.
"My little master, please save me. I will sing for you every day from now on."
In order to survive, the duck tried its best to please the little man in front of it.
Su Muyao listened to the hoarse and unpleasant voice of Duck, and no one would believe that you could sing.
Seeing that the old lady didn't say whether she agreed or not, Su Muyao stepped forward and grabbed the old lady Su's sleeve and shook it.
"Grandma, I really like this duck. Can we not kill it? Okay~"
Looking at the little person in front of her, with that pitiful and cute look, Mrs. Su's heart almost melted, and she wanted to hold her little granddaughter in her arms and kiss her to her heart's content.
Besides, there were plenty of game at home recently, so there was no need to kill the duck, so he nodded and agreed.
Su Muyao brought the little duck to the yard, and Old Lady Su caught another chicken and plucked its feathers.
Su Muyao looked in the yard for a while, and saw that the chicken was flapping its wings but showing no signs of speaking, so she felt relieved.
The duck looked at the duck in front of him and felt very strange: "Why can't other animals talk? Only you can."
"My dear little master, when you gave water to the big white wolf that day, some of the water spilled on the ground.
Finally, I drank it, and after drinking it, I felt that my originally chaotic mind suddenly became clear, and then I had my own cognition.
Su Muyao nodded. So that's how it is. It seems that the spiritual spring water has a significant effect!
When my second aunt's parents came to visit, they naturally brought some melon seeds, peanuts, candies, etc.
Su Muyao was eating candy on the side, sitting on a stool with her eyes narrowed and swinging her legs.
The couple over there looked at the baby in front of them and found it so adorable.
You hug me, and I hug you. Su Muyao was also helpless.
Finally, when Su Muyao could no longer bear it, the old couple finished their meal and went back, and she finally calmed down.
"Old man, we have some money. In the spring, we will send some kids to school. So we still have a lot of money that is dead."
"Instead of saving this for Guaibao as a dowry, we might as well buy some land. Then all this money can become Guaibao's dowry, and we can also grow a lot of food in the meantime."
Su Muyao's eyes lit up as she listened. With the land, she could plant all kinds of seeds in the spring. She couldn't just sit there doing nothing forever.
Old Man Su wanted to go to the village chief's house to ask Su Muyao to go with him, but she insisted on going with him. Old Man Su had no choice but to take her there anyway.
After arriving at the old village chief's house, I simply asked if anyone nearby was planning to sell land?
If anyone wants to sell land, please go to their house and let them know.
Their family only has six acres of land, which is not much, and they usually grow one season of rice and one season of wheat.
The yield of rice per mu is only about 200 kilograms, and the better ones can reach 300 kilograms. The yield of wheat is less, about 200 kilograms per mu. After deducting taxes, there is basically not much left.
Now they are talking about raising taxes by another 10%. To put it bluntly, this is simply not giving these ordinary people a way to survive.
In good years, if people are well taken care of, they can barely get enough food and clothing. In bad years, many people starve to death.
The old village chief searched around and found a five-acre piece of land next to the back mountain. It was top-quality land, but it had been temporarily distributed to a few widowed families in the village.
These five acres of land were originally the land left behind by the single old men in the clan after their death.
The custom here is that if a person has no descendants, his house and land will belong to the clan after his death.
If anyone wants to buy it again, they can sell it to the tribe, and the money will be distributed to poor families or lonely elderly people in the village.
Su Muyao listened to the old village chief and was naturally very excited about the three acres of land connected together.
Originally, the two of them just planned to come here to let them know in advance so that they could be notified if there was any land in the future. Unexpectedly, they did not make a wasted trip.
In the end, these five acres of top-quality farmland cost a total of 25 taels of silver.
Five taels of silver per mu is a relatively low price. The main reason is that the villagers think that it is Xiao Fubao who wants to buy it, so they naturally cannot ask for a higher price.
Some villagers were jealous, but what could they do? Apart from gossiping behind their backs, they dared not even say a word in public.
If there are one or two talkative women, once they say something unpleasant, they will basically be attacked by others.
After all, the benefits that the old Su family brought to them were right in front of them. No matter how jealous they were behind the scenes, they still couldn't say no in public.
Every village has one or two mean old ladies, but even the meanest family in the village dare not say anything bad about the Su family,,?^?,,
……
New Year's Day
Before dawn, Su Sanlang and Wang Taoxiu began to stuff two pieces of cloud cake into each of the two sleepy children's eyes, implying happiness in the new year.
Wang Taoxiu got up quickly after eating the cake and went to the kitchen to help boil water.
As soon as I arrived in the kitchen, I saw my mother-in-law was already busy, boiling water to make dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
These all have a meaning, implying a smooth and happy new year.
Su Muyao knew that she couldn't stay in bed today, so she pulled her brother up quickly.
He put on the new clothes and pants that his mother had placed at the bedside last night, and put on the beautiful tiger-head shoes. After thinking for a while, he ran to the closet and took out the tiger-head hat and put it on.
The new cotton-padded jacket is a bright red one with a picture of the Five Blessings embroidered on the back and a circle of white rabbit fur on the collar and cuffs, which is soft and beautiful.
After getting dressed, Su Muyao went to wash up.
After washing up and playing with my brothers for a while, I heard my grandma calling, "Come and eat dumplings."
Old Mrs. Su came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl of dumplings and started calling a few naughty boys in the yard.
After putting the dumplings on the big table in the main room, he turned back to the kitchen and brought back a few bowls of dumplings.
There are only four dumplings in each bowl, which means everything goes well and all your wishes come true.
Su Muyao just felt that there were quite a lot of things to pay attention to in ancient times.
