Reborn Brother Farming Story

Brother Zhong lived outside with his younger brother. The thatched hut was extremely small, and there was only a simple bed inside, not even a bench.Fortunately, the weather is hot now, with some wind at night, it is not too cold.

After returning to her natal family, the Wei family came to take a look, turned around and left immediately, never thinking about living with Brother Zhong again.

Living in thatched sheds is not as good as other people’s cowsheds. When there is strong wind and heavy rain, it is designated that no one can live there. Don't help Brother Zhong.

The villagers all smiled when they heard it, and didn't take it seriously at all.

Everyone knows that the white rice used by Brother Zhong to feed the little brother was given by Brother Qing, and he didn't ask for any money. , is also a small jar of fairy wine given by brother Qing, so that the police can help.

Even for the wild raspberries raised by brother Zhong now, Liu Yaoqing would always give ready-made wild raspberries every time he went back to deliver ripe wild raspberries.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Brother Zhong's life is hard now, but it will get better and better in the future, because Brother Qing is watching and watching, and he obviously cares about Brother Zhong and Little Brother.

"I can't even eat the corn." Liu Yaoqing squatted outside her field, watching the corn cobs grow bigger and bigger, and they looked heavy, but the corn kernels became hard and could no longer be cooked.

There are so many corns planted this year, ten or twenty acres is nothing at all, and there must be dozens of acres in the mountains alone.

At that time, the area on the mountain was large, and there were many corn seedlings anyway, so Liu Yaoqing planted the slightly fertile land on the mountain, and the remaining thin land was planted with beans, only peanuts and potatoes were not too much, but the number was not small.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Yaoqing realized that he had been buying fields all the time, so there were so many fields from his family.

"Would you like to dig some potatoes to eat?" Brother Zhezi asked, afraid that Liu Yaoqing would feel that there was nothing to eat again and would be unhappy.

This little thing... Brother Zhezi is on his mind.

Liu Yaoqing shook her head, "I don't want to eat potatoes. Let's build a paddock for a few days, and dry the corn later. The beans should be harvested too."

"Sure, go back to the village and buy a chicken, let's stew it and drink soup." Brother Zhezi said with a smile, seeing that Liu Yaoqing didn't refute, he knew he was acquiescing, so he bought a chicken later.

The weather is hot, and everyone's appetite is not very good. The chicken soup skims the oil, and the color is milky white, which is delicious when combined.

It’s not even summer yet, and the corn is almost ripe. If it’s warmer in the south, the corn will ripen earlier, so rush to plant the second season.

Before dawn, many people started to move. Everyone was wearing long-sleeved trousers, the trousers and cuffs were tied with hemp rope, and they were wearing hats with only their faces exposed. They all walked up the mountain.

This was agreed a long time ago. There are many fields on the mountain, including the land that Liu Yaoqing bought later. Collecting corn is a big job, so I have to ask someone to help.

I told the whole village several days in advance that anyone who wants to help should come to the mountain for an interview in advance.That is to see if you are strong enough, ask if you can wear long clothes and trousers, and cover your head. Generally, except for a few bastards in the village, there are also those who have been drinking and infirm all year round. Whenever they come to the mountain, Liu Yaoqing will register their names.

"My family has little corn, so my mother-in-law and my parents moved home in one day."

"My family is similar. Brother Qing's family has a lot of land, and it will take a few days for us to help."

"No."

A few burly men were chatting, while they had been busy in the past few days. They gathered in the paddock that had just been pressed, called their names and went down the mountain to break corn in the field.

The paddock was pressed by Liu Yaoqing, and it is on a flat place on the mountain, not far from the house.The first thing is to pick out the small stones, dirt and so on, and then water it thoroughly, make it a little brighter, and roll it back and forth with stone rollers.

The ground became more and more flat, and the soil was pressed into a single piece. This is the paddock. It is very convenient to dry things on it without soiling it. Many people in the village have learned to press their own small paddocks.

When the sun came out and the weather was getting hotter, Liu Yaoqing came out with a notebook and began to record who broke how much corn, and then converted it into corresponding wages.

Brother Zhezi was also wearing long trousers and long sleeves, with a piece of cloth covering his head, only his face was exposed, and his neck was covered. He broke the corn very quickly and worked extremely neatly.

Seeing Brother Zhezi coming out with corn on his shoulders, Liu Yaoqing joked: "Brother Zhezi works the most, and he has to pay the most wages, who will be rewarded with my kang at night."

The men in the back laughed loudly when they heard this, and said, "That philosopher is blessed, we are so envious."

"Don't be envious, Brother Qing is mine." Brother Zhezi also laughed, but his work was even more neat.

The broken corn needs to be dried for a while. After the outer corn husks are wilted, they are torn apart and hung on vertical wooden sticks. They can be hung high and look like big golden sticks from a distance.

At noon, Liu Yaoqing led everyone to the dining hall on the mountain, where they ate.

It is not the first time for everyone to come here, even if it is the first time, they have heard it from the villagers.Eating in the canteen on the mountain is really particular. First, you have to take a square wooden plate, spoon, chopsticks and bowl by yourself, and then go to the front to get food.

The rules of the dining hall are different every day, and a big sign will be placed in the dining place.

Sometimes there are two big steamed buns per person, you can get two dishes, one of which is meaty, with huge pieces of meat, sometimes there are two to three pancakes per person, you can get three dishes, and there must be meat dishes, or Whether it's meat or eggs, the villagers like it anyway. Every time I come to the mountain to work and eat, I am very happy.

Liu Yaoqing also ate with Brother Zhezi, he asked for a steamed bun and scrambled egg with cucumber, Li Shi also wanted to scoop up a spoonful of meat, but he didn't want it.

Later Zhezi asked for an extra spoonful of meat, and when eating, he picked out the lean meat and gave it to Liu Yaoqing.

After eating, take a rest, digest and digest the food, and continue to work.

It took five consecutive days to break all the corn back. There is no need to worry about planing the corn stalks later, the people on the mountain will do it slowly.

The men who have been working in the mountains for the past few days are full every day, and they can save a soft steamed bun to take home. Some even bring their own bowls, eat half of the vegetables, and take the rest home at night. Can have another meal.

Someone helped Liu Yaoqing to calculate, "I go to eat every day, and there are big pots of meat. I'm afraid Brother Qing will spend a lot of winnings."

His mother-in-law smiled and said, "You don't even think about how many fields there are. I heard that there are huge fields of corn on the mountain. They are yellow and orange, and they are very beautiful. If they are all sold, I don't know how much money they will have."

"That's true. If I had those fields, I would be willing to hire people to work."

"Come on, I'm afraid you won't be willing to buy pork with money every day. Our family only eats meat a few times a year."

"Hey, isn't that no money? After the wages are paid this time, we will also buy meat."

The same conversations happen in the village from time to time.

This year is different from previous years. Every household has corn and potato seeds. It seems that the output will not be low. After paying the tax, the rest will definitely fill the stomach. If you go to the mountains to do some work, you can earn a lot of money.

Not to mention wild raspberry, this is really an ancestor, so you have to take good care of it, and you can get money in return, real gold and silver!

In the evening, Mrs. Li stewed chicken soup, and Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi went to have dinner together.

Brother Xing has been waiting with a bowl for a long time. He is not very greedy now. Since he moved to the mountains, he basically eats meat whenever he wants, and he sees it every day.After seeing the world, Brother Xing is not the same as before.

Liu Yaoqing sat down and said with a smile: "Go back to the town and ask Brother Xing to study."

"That's okay? I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it. Why didn't Brother Qing read it?" Brother Xing was thinking quickly now, and he refuted Liu Yaoqing after turning a corner.

Glancing at brother Zhezi, Liu Yaoqing said with a smile: "I have such a big mountain now, and I don't need to study to get fame." There are some things Liu Yaoqing didn't say. Well, even those who are officials, I'm afraid they have to please him a little bit.

Liu Quanjin scooped up the chicken soup and pushed it in front of Liu Yaoqing, and said neither salty nor light, "Xiaobao is also old enough to go to school."

"Of course my grandpa and uncle are worried about it. Anyway, I will definitely not think of asking Brother Xing to study. Dad, don't think about it, you don't have our brother Jia Xing's share." Liu Yaoqing said.

Glancing at Liu Quanjin, Li said with a smile: "Brother Qing, drink more soup, you are the only one in our family who doesn't like meat. By the way, what is Brother Qing planning for those corns?"

Li Shi can think about it, she doesn't need to look at Liu Quanjin's face to live now, and she doesn't need to worry about him, Liu Quanjin has to be on the mountain.Thinking about it, Li's life is comfortable, and he looks younger and younger, but he has no intention of making decisions for Liu Yaoqing at this moment, and Liu Yaoqing has the final say on everything on the mountain.

"Keep them all, I'm useful." Liu Yaoqing said.

"Sure, I'll tidy up the house later so I can store the corn kernels." Li said sharply.

The next day, someone also asked Liu Yaoqing what to do with the corn on the mountain. He didn't intend to sell it, so he let it out.

So much corn, what do you want it for?

But Liu Yaoqing made the decision, although others were curious, they didn't discuss their own thoughts.If this person can understand what Qing Geer means, why does everyone go to Gucun, and only Qing Geer makes up such new things, and others can't do it?

In the evening Zhezi climbed onto the kang and said with a smile, "I work the most during the day, so why don't you reward me?"

"Come on." Liu Yaoqing rolled under the quilt and rolled into brother Zhezi's arms, and said with a smile, "I can't work so hard tomorrow, be careful and tired. Tomorrow I'm going to make a stone mill, I have to find stones, toss It’s not easy to get up.”

"Doesn't our family have a stone mill? It is often used to grind beans." Brother Zhezi was puzzled.

"It's different from that one. What I want to make is another kind, which is to grind corn and beans into flour." Liu Yaoqing said, feeling very tired, and then fell asleep.

He had a big idea in his heart, but he took it step by step.
