Reborn the wonderful life of ancient times

Waking up early in the morning, Lin Zimo was a little sad. When winter came, it was time to sleep late, but rural people, no matter what time it was, would get up early, even if it was to pick up dung with a dung fork.

There is not much work to do now, when Lin Zimo got up, everyone had already cleaned up the yard and fed the pigs and chickens, Lin Huaide went to the field to look at the cabbage and radishes, Lin Zihao and Lin Zihan were reading, Lin Yu helped his mother cook, grandma In the house, Lin Zimo was left with nothing to do.

After washing and thinking for a while, Lin Zimo decided to exercise his little body, and waved to his two elder brothers: "Big brother, second brother, how about going out for a run?" Lin Zihao and the two looked at him together: "What does the third brother want to do?" Why do you run out?" "Exercise, don't go to the ground now, go out and run around to be healthy." The two looked at each other and stood up. They were in good health, but the third brother was not in good health. Convinced, the third brother said that it is certain to be able to exercise, and they have to accompany the third brother to exercise so that he can have a good body.

Fortunately, his home was not far from the village, so the three of them ran out of the village like thieves and ran around along the river until they were out of breath.There is not much water on the ground in the plain area. This small river is the only one nearby, and it is not wide, only more than ten meters long.The grass on the river slopes has turned yellow leaves, and the miscellaneous forests on the embankment have also begun to lose their leaves. The cold wind blowing in the morning makes people feel comfortable.

The three of them laughed, and Lin Zihao stretched his waist facing the river: "If you don't exercise, it's good to look at the river every day." This child has too many things on his body, and if he doesn't do farm work all day, he just reads books and practice calligraphy. , Pushing myself very hard, life is easy now, it's rare to come out and relax like this.The taciturn Lin Zihan did not speak, and picked up a rare piece of soil, skimmed it against the water, and laughed, "Haha". Something.

As soon as I got back to the entrance of the village, I saw my father talking to the patriarch, and saw the patriarch laugh loudly from a distance: "Okay, good brother, don't forget the clan when you have money. I'll measure it for you, and you won't suffer." Turning to see the three brothers of the Lin family, he said with emotion, "It's still your son who is promising, knowing how to help the family with work, and knowing how to make progress, brothers' luck is yet to come." This is also one of the things that people in the clan think highly of the Lin family. These days, scholars are noble, who knows when they will be promising.

After the Lin family's land was divided, the Lin family donated 100 taels to the clan's ancestral hall and spread throughout the village.A village is full of people with the surname Lin, and the only family with a foreign surname is basically negligible, and every family is grateful.People at this time have a strong sense of family, and they respect their departed ancestors like gods. Don’t you see that in traditional dramas, no matter which dynasty or generation, once the exam is successful, the first thing to do is to go home and repair the grave to respect the ancestors. Sir, the emperor and the lord have to give in.

When the Lin family went out again, they obviously felt that the people in the village were much more enthusiastic, and people greeted them everywhere they went.Even when Lin Huaide and his son went to fetch water from the well at the head of the village, someone graciously filled the bucket.

Except for the 45 mu of land by the river at the head of the village, there are very few people selling land in the village, and the patriarch counts all of them. The good land is only 45 mu. The land was transferred together, and the villagers were grateful to the Lin family, and no one made it difficult on purpose.

After finishing the land affairs, it cost the family another five hundred taels of silver. Since the weather was not too cold, we had to plan to build a new yard. The houses in the old yard were too crowded, and the newly added horses and carriages in the yard were too crowded. Although the family is very diligent and cleans it every day, the smell from the cows and horses is too bad. In the past two days, the family has been discussing what kind of house to build.

When Lin Zimo put his picture of entering the big courtyard three times in front of the whole family, the whole family exploded.The quadrangle courtyard with blue bricks and gray tiles has corridors under the eaves, and bluestone slabs are paved in the middle of the courtyard. The toilets in the house, in addition to the heated kang, and the surrounding fire walls, made the whole family's eyes wide open.

Lin Huaide tremblingly said, "Zimo, if this is built, how much will it cost?" Mrs. Zhou also said, "Our family can't live in twenty or thirty rooms?"

Lin Zimo didn't intend to back down: "Our family has to earn money in the future, and we have to buy people to rule such a large family business. Moreover, the house is also a face. In the future, the elder brothers will get fame, live too poorly, and be taken care of by others. A joke." He had already had enough of muddy feet on rainy days, and his mother cooked in the rain, shivering from the cold, and had to go to the toilet in the yard in the middle of the night.

What Lin Zimo said is still convincing in the last few sentences. Yes, everything else can be settled. When the children really get the honor, the high-walled compound will be face, and the sons of the province will be ashamed to go out. Huang and his son and daughter-in-law are right Take a look and nod your head.

Lin Huaide took his two sons around to contact labor and bricks, and Lin Zimo's eyes shifted again.It’s not enough to sit and eat. I went to the county to eat a few times. I noticed that there are no vermicelli noodles that occupy an important position on the people’s dining table. busy.

In view of Lin Zimo's several successes, the Lin family did not restrain him, but provided him with convenience.The sweet potatoes were originally sent to the cellar, but Lin Zimo poured them up with dozens of catties. After washing, the skins were peeled off. The two elder brothers helped to grind them into a paste, put them in clean water, soak them, and scrub them again and again to remove the ones that were no longer pulped. Take out the shredded sweet potato and let it sit for a day. The next day, take out the precipitated sweet potato powder and dry it in the sun. Use a powder leaker to leak out the vermicelli. Clap your hands and you're done.

Eating vermicelli stew, the whole family nodded, it was so delicious.After Lin Huaide finished eating, he took out the eye bag pot and took a puff of cigarette: "It's good, but the cost is too expensive." Lin Zimo looked up: "Why? Isn't sweet potato a cheap thing? It's easy to take care of." Lin Huaide looked at him: "It's easy to take care of, and the yield is high, but the seeds are used too much, so it's not worthwhile." After a while, Lin Zimo asked, "Don't you need too many seeds? It doesn't take much to grow seedlings."

Lin Huaide said: "You don't understand, one seed and one hole, how to grow seedlings?" Lin Zimo scratched his head: "Didn't you say that one sweet potato is planted in one hole?" There are no sweet potato seeds in my memory, and probably the original Lin Zimo didn't either. Seen.

Lin Huaide was annoyed: "It's not a seed and a hole, or what?" Lin Zimo was stunned, no wonder his mother refused to use sweet potatoes to cook porridge every day: "I read in my old man's travel notes that in spring, as long as there are few sweet potatoes to raise seedlings in advance, Then cut the seedlings into sections and plug them in.”

Lin Huaide stood up abruptly: "Really? This will save a lot of trouble, how many people can have enough to eat." No one doubts whether Lin Zimo's statement is right or wrong. After several experiences, Lin Huaide is full of Excited.

Lin Zimo simply threw another bomb: "There is also a record of the old man who grows grain. We are in a plain area and the weather is not very cold. We can grow two crops of grain a year. After harvesting the sticks, we can plant wheat. In May of the next year When they are almost mature, they will be planted with sticks, and they will mature after autumn."

Lin Huaide rubbed his hands vigorously: "Will the wheat not freeze to death in winter?" "No, as long as it is not too cold, the wheat seedlings will be fine."

"If this is the case, it will be a big deal for the people to have enough to eat!" After thinking for a while, Lin Huaide immediately said, "I'm going to plant wheat now and see if I can harvest it next year." Lin Zimo hurriedly stopped him: "This year The time has passed, let’s go next year.” It’s been a month, and the wheat seedlings can’t grow anymore.

Lin Huaide was discouraged: "Okay, next spring, our family will try to grow sweet potatoes first, and if it works, tell the folks so that everyone can have enough food."
