Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

Chinese New Year is always the busiest time, and Taoyuan Village this year is more joyous than previous years.Even the poorest families in the village weave cloth to make new clothes.On the first day of junior high school, everyone was dressed brightly.

In addition to the usual performances, Taoyuan Village also set up a stage, and everyone paid for the theater troupe from the county!

This kind of thing that only rich people can do, now Taoyuan Village also came to join in the fun, wanting to express their psychological excitement and joy.

Many people in Taoyuan Village have never been out of the village in their entire lives, so they have never seen a play, and they were overjoyed when they got the news.On the day when the theater troupe came, they had already gathered around the stage.And many people from other villages rushed over after getting the news, and the people of Taoyuan Village were very generous and did not stop them.However, people from Taoyuan Village must be at the front, and people from other villages must be at the back.

That day, Taoyuan Village was very lively, and it lasted for three days before giving up.

And there was a happy event during the New Year's Eve in the Chang family, Ding Sansao was pregnant again.

Chang Xiwang now has only one daughter, who is three years old now, and Ding Sansao's stomach has never moved.

In the past two years, everyone has been busy, and there have been many good things. Grandma Sun didn't take care of it, and didn't trip Mrs. Ding San, but everyone was still looking forward to it.Mrs. Ding San was under a lot of pressure. After all, the two sisters-in-law no longer had to worry about the issue of children. She was the only one who had no sons, and she always felt uneasy.

Although Chang Xiwang didn't say anything, and he doted on his only daughter so much, but who didn't want a son to inherit his family business.Especially with their current enthusiasm, I am afraid that they will get bigger and bigger in the future. If there is no male successor to set up a family to inherit, then it will not be successful.

Ding Sansao was anxious, although she tried her best not to show it, but still let everyone see the clue.Everyone didn't want to put pressure on her, so they just pretended to forget about it.No matter how busy Ding San's wife is usually, she still remembers to take care of her body. What she didn't expect was that she was found pregnant during the Chinese New Year.

At first, Ding Sansao just thought that eating meat was boring, and she was eating big fish and meat every day, which made people feel sick, and she could only eat some pickles to feel the chest tightness being washed away.

So she was also teased by Mrs. Cao, saying that she really can't enjoy the life of wealth and wealth, and she can't stand it if she eats more good things.Because of the New Year's Eve, everyone just cared about having fun and didn't think about it.

Ding Sansao's monthly letter has not always been accurate, which is one of the reasons why she is worried about not having children in the future, so she doesn't think about it.

Unexpectedly, Chang Xiwang, who is usually the most careless, felt that something was wrong, and seeing Mrs. Ding San vomit like that, he didn't care about Mrs. Ding San's stop. The doctor pulled over.It turned out that she was pregnant!

There is a new life in the family, and it is still in this new year, which is a very good sign!Now that they have money, they are not afraid that they will not be able to raise children. Naturally, the more prosperous the population, the better.Grandma Sun immediately gave Ding Sansao a big red envelope, and said that whoever has a child in the future will get this amount.

Ding Sansao's child was particularly tossed, she vomited faintly every day, she was very sick, and she couldn't take care of family affairs, so Chang Xiwang and Cao Ersao would help take care of the workshop.Chang Xiwang didn't care about the facts, and it all fell on Mrs. Cao in the end.As a result, Second Sister-in-law Cao became even busier, and she couldn't contribute to the family affairs at all, and it all fell on Sister-in-law Wang.

Chang Xi was happy to see Mrs. Wang working too hard, so she proposed to hire someone to help with the work at home.

On weekdays, everyone would definitely not be happy, but now they are really too busy, and Chang Xile said that earning money is for spending and enjoying, otherwise why bother to work so hard.Enjoy when you should enjoy, and you will have the strength to do more things.

Now that life is going well, everyone has confidence in their hearts, and they also feel that this statement makes sense, so they agree.

The people hired are people who are familiar with Mrs. Wang's side, because most of them are busy with family affairs, and they are dispatched by Mrs. Wang, and those who are familiar with him are the most suitable.Moreover, this sister-in-law is more honest than Mrs. Wang, and the two can be said to be like-minded, so there is no need to worry about being bullied because Mrs. Wang is too soft.

In this way, Mrs. Wang also has someone under her command, although it's just one person, the feeling is still very different.

Sister-in-law Wang is soft-tempered, but she can't help being compared with other sisters-in-law.Although I know that I am not capable enough, but seeing that everyone can take care of so many things, it is inevitable that I feel that I am too useless.And now that she has someone under her command, she subconsciously feels that she has been promoted.Although Mrs. Wang didn't really understand that this was a kind of affirmation, she only knew that she was very happy in her heart, but it was not because her work would be much easier, but because of something else.

Song Wancheng and his wife returned to Taoyuan Village after the fifteenth day. Wanniang and Ding Sansao had a good relationship. When they came back and saw her so haggard, they thought she was sick. They asked what was going on, but they found out that she was pregnant. , I was happy for her and envious of her.

They are all women, so they naturally know how important children are to women.Although their husbands are considerate, so are the worldly affairs in this world, so they naturally care very much.Mrs. Ding San has been married for so many years without a son, so she will inevitably feel depressed in her heart. Although she still doesn't know whether it is a boy or a girl, there is hope anyway.

"I think this child must be a son. It was the same when I was pregnant with my elder brother Xi. It was very difficult."

It is almost necessary to have a son here, so everyone will not shy away from the topic of men and women, and say frankly that they want a son.So Mrs. Ding San was very happy when she heard this. Everyone loves to hear auspicious words.

She stroked her stomach, "I hope I can be more aggressive this time and get a boy in one fell swoop. Although my guy doesn't say it, he must have a temper that wants a son to play with him."

"It must be fine, and you are still so young, there will always be. It's just that you have to take good care of your body. I was shocked when I saw you just now. Everyone has gained a lot of weight during the Chinese New Year. You But you have lost so much weight, I thought you were suddenly suffering from a serious illness."

Ding Sansao said with a smile: "I don't know if my life is so cheap. When I was pregnant with Niu Niu, my family was not very good, and I was very greedy. But now the family is fine, and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are thinking of ways to give me a baby every day. Make something delicious, but I vomit whatever I eat."

Wanniang saw that although she had lost a lot of weight, she was still in good spirits, and she was probably pregnant, and her whole person was different from usual, and she talked a lot more than usual.

"Things in this world are so unpredictable. Hey, I don't know if I have children. I have also adjusted my body for a long time, but my brother Xi has such a big belly and still hasn't moved."

Although she already has a son, but one is still too little, and she will not even have a helper in the future.But my stomach is not up to date, no matter how much medicine I take, there is no movement.

Wanniang didn't expect that after a few days back from Mrs. Ding San, she felt that something was wrong with her body, and when she went to the doctor, she was pregnant too!

This is a great thing for the Song family who have been single-passed for five generations. Song Wancheng laughed from ear to ear.

And Song's father and Song's mother also rushed over in person, and brought a lot of supplements.Because she was afraid that the fetus would still be unstable in the first three months, she was not in a hurry to return to the county. Instead, she invited a woman with some medical skills from the county to stay in Taoyuan Village to take care of her.

The two elders of the Song family also prepared generous gifts for the Chang family, because they felt that these were the happiness brought by the Chang family.Otherwise, why have I not had a child for so many years, but I was pregnant only after coming to Taoyuan Village, and I found out after visiting Mrs. Ding San.This must be a joy, so it will be like this.

Moreover, the two elders really like Chang Xisheng. Although Song Wancheng is smart, he doesn't understand the general affairs of the family at all.Wan Niang is capable, but some heavy-duty women are not easy to do, and even if they are capable, it will not be nice to spread the word.But with Chang Xisheng, the two elders of the Song family don't need to worry at all. Chang Xisheng can always make proper arrangements, making their lives much more comfortable than before.

Naturally, the Chang family would not refuse to associate with people like the Song family, and the relationship would be even deeper after such a visit.

Seeing that Taoyuan Village is quite comfortable to live in, and seeing Wanniang reacting violently, the two elders of the Song family always feel uneasy.I was always worried about something going wrong when I went back, so I simply went to live in Taoyuan Village to take care of her closely, thinking that I would go back to the county together when Wan's mother was seated firmly.

When the small bamboo building was being repaired before, Lizheng let it be added, so there was no need to worry about lack of space.

It's just that the two elders didn't think that they would not move their nests once they settled down, and they thought this country life was extremely interesting.So she didn't leave until Wanniang's belly got big, because she was worried that there were no good doctors in the village, and the county was too far away, so she decided to go back because she was afraid that something would happen when she was born.

Although Sansan Ding's birth was very noisy at the beginning, it went very smoothly and recovered very quickly.

So a hundred days after the child, a group of people came over again.

Firstly, I really like the life in Taoyuan Village. Secondly, Song’s mother went to a fortune teller before. The fortuneteller said that the child was born in Taoyuan Village, a beautiful place. to be healthier in the future.Moreover, the longer time in Taoyuan Village is more beneficial to the development of the Song family.

When Chang Xile heard about this, she used it to tease Song Wancheng, saying that their family is also a scholarly family after all, how could they believe such nonsense.

Song Wancheng was also very helpless at that time, it is true that their family has always been a single family, and one of them will die if they are not careful these days, so they are particularly concerned about their offspring.In particular, Song Yuxi's health was not in good shape before, which made people even more worried.Moreover, the prosperity of a family is very important in this world. The relationship here relies on the ties between the families to become a party. If the population is too small, there will be no one to help, and it will be difficult to support it alone.

But it never occurred to her that the fortune teller was really a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.Song Wancheng had only been in Taoyuan Village for five years, and had four children one after another, two of them were twins, and each child was saved very smoothly.This is the result of Song Wancheng's estimation of Wanniang's body, so she would let her rest for a period of time after giving birth.

The Song family, who had always been single-handed, couldn't be happier. The Song family directly took root in Taoyuan Village and rebuilt a big house. The two elders have also lived in Taoyuan Village.

Since the two elders of the Song family came to Taoyuan Village, they felt that their bodies were much better before, and they even lamented the good Fengshui of Taoyuan Village.

Chang Xile felt that this had nothing to do with Feng Shui, but that after the Song family came to Taoyuan Village, they often walked around the village and planted some vegetables for entertainment.Because of their good family background, they didn't have to work, and they didn't move much on weekdays.But going to the countryside is different. I often walk around and look around. If I exercise more, my body will be fine.

However, when Song Wancheng left Taoyuan Village, she already had four sons and one daughter, and Wanniang's stomach has not moved since she was shot out of Taoyuan Village. Chang Xile didn't know why.

Maybe there are some minerals in the water and soil of Taoyuan Village, so it is particularly easy to have children.In the entire Pumpkin Mansion, the scale of Taoyuan Village is one of the best.A village has more than 1000 people and nearly [-] people, and some counties are only a few thousand people. ] But these are all for later.

It is another year of spring plowing, because half of the land has adopted the rotation method of rice and rapeseed before, so half of the fields are planted with rice later than usual.Chang Xile didn't ask everyone to do it all at once, in order to avoid irreversible losses caused by sudden changes.

Although he had successfully experimented before, he couldn't be too eager for quick success.

Everyone in Taoyuan Village listened to him, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Although everyone wanted to make money immediately, they obediently obeyed.

After the rice was planted, everyone began to open up wasteland to prepare for planting cotton.

Chang Xile got a lot of cotton seeds from Pei's family, plus the previous harvest, the amount of cotton that can be planted will be amazing.When other people have not reflected the benefits of this thing, they quickly occupy the market, which will be convenient in the future.

Because land reclamation and cotton planting require a lot of manpower, the riverside has already begun to finish work, and work can be finished in the middle of this year.Therefore, many people in Taoyuan Village simply stopped working and concentrated on growing cotton.

They also saw the cotton cloth woven by the Chang family before, as well as the quilt, and thought it was really good.Moreover, there is also the Pei family's acquisition, so they don't have to worry about selling it at all, and now they are exempted from taxation. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to plant and sell it for money, there will be no such shop after passing this village.

And they knew that the Chang family took the lead in planting so much cotton, so they must be thinking about building some kind of workshop again.Chang Xile didn't hide it either, he had already spread the news privately that he was going to build a weaving workshop and a cloth dyeing workshop in the future.

Everyone was even more excited when they heard this. The more workshops there are in the village, whether they can go in or not, it will be very beneficial to them.

Because there is no tax, and the price of grain collected by the Shen family's caravan is very generous, they have earned a lot from grain sales this year.

In addition to planting cotton, Chang Xile also asked the Shen family caravan to transport a large number of piglets, lambs, rabbits, etc. for them to prepare for large-scale breeding.To say that it is large-scale is actually only a relative term. The livestock raised in the entire Taoyuan Village is no more than a medium-sized farm in the previous life, and it is still a decentralized breeding.

There are two breeding methods for Chang Xile, one is the employment method, that is, Chang Xile hires people to help him breed.Chang Xile pays her wages, and the income from selling sheep goes completely into Chang Xile's pocket; the other is to pay for the sheep by herself. If you don't have money, you can sign a contract first, and then pay back the money when the sheep are slaughtered next year.

If in the past everyone was unwilling to owe money if they could not owe it, except for those bastards, ordinary people would feel that being in debt is really uncomfortable, and there must be many people who are unwilling to agree.

But now that everyone is more confident, and they do have some spare money in their pockets, most of them have adopted the latter method.To earn money, you have to take risks and hurry up. You can earn as much money as you raise a few pigs at a time. Only by raising more pigs can you earn more.

But after all, I am used to being careful, and most people will control the number of breeding in a relatively safe number.

The saline-alkali land is very large, so each family is allocated a piece of land, and the livestock they want to raise are enclosed in their own land.All kinds of animals are raised separately, and simple nests are built for them.

And there is a certain distance between each house, and lime is sprinkled with each other for disinfection.

Although they are all raised separately, they need unified management, which is more similar to franchising.Every household has to pay a certain fee when the livestock are out of the market, just like paying the property fee, and it is done in the form of a commission. The more they raise, the more they pay.

These expenses are used for management and hiring special personnel to breed, instead of sending people to guard here at night from each family.The farm employs women and men in half, and is also equipped with two grazing horses and ten donkeys.

And those limes, as well as the anti-epidemic herbs and so on, all came from here.

If you don't want to pay the money, you can't enjoy these benefits, and when it comes to acquisitions, you will be ranked last.Not only the farms, but also the actual affairs in the village must be ranked behind others, such as workshop employment, purchase of rice grains, dogwood, etc.

It is a typical example of giving you the power to choose, but not giving you the room to give up.

Although it is a bit overbearing, most people can still accept it, because the commission is not high, and besides, as long as it is used in practice, everyone is still willing.Not to mention anything else, let them keep a labor force here to guard, and they have to build a special shed or something, and there is nowhere to find someone if something goes wrong, which is enough.Although this saline-alkali land has never seen wild animals, it is difficult to say that there are so many livestock here now.

There are also those limes and medicinal materials, etc., which are all money, and it may be more expensive for them to go out and buy them by themselves.

Moreover, those people hired by the farm have a great relationship with me, and the money is given to them, so there is nothing unwilling.

With so many livestock, in order to ensure the supply of feed, more alfalfa should be planted.Those previously planted are thriving enough to feed the currently active livestock.But after a while when you grow up, you will be nervous.

Therefore, Lizheng organized another collective large-scale planting activity. This time, with experience, it planted more than last time, and usually hired five people to plant and take care of alfalfa here.One is to provide feed for livestock, and the other is to remediate this piece of saline-alkali land.

The originally desolate saline-alkali land became more and more vibrant because of these actions. The county magistrate also came several times along the way, and he was shocked every time. He admired the action of Taoyuan Village very much.And he didn't come in vain, he waved his hand every time, bringing financial support to Taoyuan Village.Not only that, but also brought a veterinarian stationed here to Taoyuan Village.

The veterinarian is an old man in his 50s and very experienced. With his presence, Chang Xile feels more at ease.

Taoyuan Village has made such a big name all of a sudden. To be honest, Chang Xile has always been uneasy, fearing that something will happen, and it will all be paid for.After all, if the livestock is sick, sometimes there is no way to do it even if the medical conditions in the previous life were higher.

But Lizheng was even more radical than him in this matter. When everyone was discussing together, Lizheng had a few clan elders. After thinking about it, they all decided to give it a try.

But everything is premised on the principle of voluntariness, and they don't help take risks.And each household has a limited amount, so you can't raise too many at once.

Now that everyone has made such a decision, Chang Xile boldly rushed forward.However, he adopted the method of isolation. If it is really unfortunate that a disease such as plague occurs, this can also minimize the loss.And because the site is large, it can be moved upside down, and each family occupies a lot of space.

The activity space is large and not crowded, which can also reduce the probability of livestock getting sick.

In addition, more than 60 people are hired very generously. In addition to the daily normal breeding work, more than 30 strong men are responsible for patrolling, and women are responsible for sanitation.Be sure to keep everything clean and disinfected every day.

In this way, it can not only ensure the smooth operation of the farm, but also solve the employment problem of some people.

Although the wool comes from the sheep, it also improves the efficiency.

Otherwise, each family raises it separately, and they can't keep an eye on it. If they don't follow the requirements, the whole farm will be affected.

People here are not very particular about raising livestock. For example, many people raise pigs under the sheep hut.It's disgusting and unhygienic to shit on the top and pigs on the bottom.

Probably because of this, the rich and noble people here don't eat pork, and think it's too shameful.

And usually there is no concept of washing pig pens, chicken coops, etc., so it is easy to nourish fly bacteria, and it is easy to cause diseases in livestock.

The work on the other side of the river was officially suspended in the middle of the year, and the villages other than Taoyuan Village were very sorry, because they lost a place to make money.

And when the autumn harvest was about to come, the imperial court officially held the first martial arts exam after spring plowing, and the first round of exams was set up in the mansion.
