Rebirth in another world is good for farming

After all, the conversation did not continue, Zhang Xiaoliu thought about it later, and felt that he had acted too hastily.It took him a lot of effort to get used to a normal life, and he might not be able to figure it out if he really separated.It's better to maintain the status quo for the time being. As for what other people want to say, just ignore it.

Maybe when he figured it out, he would bring it up by himself.

As the saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain falling, and sickness goes like spinning silk.Although the fever subsided, his body was sore and weak, and his dry and sore throat still made him uncomfortable for several days.Zhao Zhengze also put down the carving knife in his hand, and while doing all the work at home without a trace, he beat and beat the old house with a wooden fence.

Although they also have a share in raising chickens in the bamboo forest, it's not unreasonable for farmers not to raise some poultry.In the new house, Zhang Xiaoliu didn't want chickens and ducks to go in. They would not only peck the grains and dirty the floor, but also easily bring fleas and other things.After discussion, they simply decided to use the two old houses to raise chickens, ducks and pigs, which is considered a good use.

The pigsty needs to be remodeled, but there is no rush to raise pigs now.Because the floor was not paved with stones, it was easy to dig.In the house where the Zhang family brothers slept, half of the floor was dug half a meter deep, and then a wall was built along the middle of the house, leaving only a three-foot-wide gap with wooden boards for daily entry and exit. pig.

The half of the house near the door was built into a chicken coop, leaving a passage two or three feet wide.The chicken coop is about two feet high all around, and the chickens cannot fly out even if they flutter easily.In this way, the chickens and pigs are restricted to their respective territories, which also ensures the cleanliness and tidiness of the passages. It is enough to clean the pigpens and chicken coops regularly on weekdays.

Then I realized that the chickens could not be kept in the coop all the time, so Zhang Xiaoliu decided to cut in the five feet in front of the old house, surround it with a wooden fence, and let the chickens out every day to get some air.As for the other room, he decided to store firewood and thornweed.

Weary in spring and autumn, Zhang Xiaoliu sat alone at the door and watched Zhao Zhengze working seriously not far away. After yawning, he lay down on the door pier and fell asleep.

"Brother Liu, why are you sleeping here?" After greeting Zhao Zhengze, Lin Cao'er came to the new room, only to find that Zhang Xiaoliu was really asleep when she got closer.

"Hey, Cao'er is here?" Of course Zhang Xiaoliu didn't sleep soundly outside, but he woke up when he heard someone calling him.

"You child, didn't you just say that you have a cold, why are you still sleeping outside? Be careful, you will feel uncomfortable when the wind blows." Lin Cao'er heard Xiaosong talk about his illness, and thought of stopping by to take a look. Who knew that he would see such an unscrupulous appearance.

"It's much better, isn't it still hot now, it's cool with a bit of wind." Although it's already autumn, the sun doesn't seem to be weakening at all, and he sits in front of the door just to enjoy the breeze.

"You're not in good health, what's the wind?" Lin Cao'er took his hand and dragged him back, nagging him all the time: "How can you follow your own temper like this when you're sick? I'd rather heat it up than go to the What kind of wind is blowing?"

Zhang Xiaoliu knew his personality, if he didn't listen to what he said, he might have to continue talking, hurriedly said: "I was negligent, but today I have recovered, I just sat for a while, it shouldn't matter."

Sure enough, hearing what he said, Lin Cao'er's frowning brows relaxed a little, and said: "You are not old now, don't make your body weak, or you will suffer in the future."

Zhang Xiaoliu nodded hurriedly.

"I think Ah Zheng is quite diligent. What are you going to do with the old house?" Lin Cao'er was satisfied with his attitude, so he changed the words.

Zhang Xiaoliu told him the plan, and Lin Cao'er nodded frequently after hearing this.Finally, he touched his head with a smile, and said: "Now you also have a way to make money in your hands, and everything at home is still in order, so I hope you will get better and better."

Zhang Xiaoliu shook his head embarrassingly, and said: "There is no way to tell. If shopkeeper Huo finds someone else to cooperate, the wine making business will not be able to continue. Of course, the family must be taken care of." Make some money and don't dare to take it lightly.Don't say that the cooperation with shopkeeper Huo can't be done for a lifetime, even if Xiaomai and Xiaosong grow up in a few years, the whole family can't just rely on this to make money.

"You little head, you have a lot of ideas. I went to Dashun's house just now, and he was very kind to the new brother, and all the new things he used were moved into Fulai's house." Because of the cooperation in taking care of the chickens in the bamboo forest, the two families It is also getting closer.Seeing that his family was about to have a wedding, Lin Caoer went to see if there was anything she could do to help.

"I've also heard from Fulai that his brother is very capable, and he likes Dashun very much, right?" Zhang Xiaoliu had seen Dashun move things from his house before, so he didn't mind feel strange.

"I've seen it a few times in the field before, and it's really capable. But now that his family has done this, what will you do in the future?" Lin Cao'er felt touched when she saw it. Give it all to the big ones, what will happen to the small ones in the future?If the time comes to scrape together the money to buy a new one, the big ones won't want to see it.Thinking that there are six in my family, it is even more of a headache.

He just talked casually, and didn't expect Zhang Xiaoliu to know anything.Some things may sound innocuous, but when compared, they are really terrible.If you are lucky, you can pick one or two generous and disinterested people. If there is one like Zhao Datian's Gao family, it will be enough to stir up trouble.

"Brother Liu, stay at home for a few more days, and let Ah Zheng do whatever you need. Don't go into the bamboo forest, the chickens will be fine!" During this period, Lin Cao'er was almost in good health, although she still He is very thin, but as long as he doesn't carry heavy loads, he can basically do light work.Because of this, the people of the Li family were even more grateful to Zhang Xiaoliu, because after drinking the myrtle wine, he brought over a jar of rice wine, and asked him to cook eggs with the wine every day.After a long time, it can be effective, at least Lin Cao'er feels that her body is much stronger.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Zhang Xiaoliu usually only went to visit every now and then, and he really didn't have the strength to go at this time.It seems that I should go to Dashun Momo and ask if there is anything I can help.

Although they are all happy events, getting married is much more troublesome than moving to a new house.When Zhang Xiaoliu chose a date, he deliberately chose one of the auspicious dates that was earlier than Fulai's marriage, so as to save time from being overwhelmed.However, for many villagers who come to the two houses for wine, they still get together twice a month.

In a blink of an eye, Mai Mai has been in school for three months. At the beginning, she only had to rely on the idea of ​​reading and literacy to keep going, but now she is very used to it.Every time a new student is admitted, Mr. Chen will have an assessment three months later, and he will endorse the interpretation and write in handwriting. Only from these three things can we tell whether a student is diligent and talented.

In fact, you can tell whether the students are working hard every day when you draw the endorsement. Mai Mai's progress during this period is obvious to all. His word recognition has even caught up with some children who entered school at the beginning of the year.

At first, some children in the school wanted to tease him, but unfortunately his expression never changed, which made the teasers feel very boring.Plus he doesn’t hold grudges, someone was waiting for him by the side of the road and jumped out to scare him. Recently, some kids come to school early to put a dead bug or other tricks in front of him. Jiu Du was frightened, but he didn't take it to heart. The next time we met in school, he would also smile when he spoke.After a few times, they didn't dare to make any more decisions. They were used to climbing trees and playing tricks on weekdays. Seeing such a gentle and quiet brother who seemed to have a good temper felt good.It can be said that wheat has successfully passed everyone's "test" for him no matter from which aspect.

Mr. Chen was very satisfied with Mai Mai's assessment results this day, and it was rare for him to be kind to them all afternoon.Mai Mai was also happy in her heart, and she also missed her brother who had not fully recovered from the illness. After school, she left with a cloth bag on her back, as if she couldn't wait to share the news.

When Ling Jun, who usually walked with him, turned around after talking with others, he found that Xiao Mai had gone so far that he could not even see his shadow.

"Xiaomai, why did you come back so early today?" Walking to the entrance of the village, Xiaomai looked around habitually, and as expected, he saw Shi Zhu running out again as expected, and asked while following him.

"Sir, I left school early, so I'm back." In fact, it was only about a quarter of an hour early, probably because he was walking too fast on the road.

That time I taught him to write his name, and after he interrupted me while practicing calligraphy, he said a few words, and he didn't come to the entrance of the village to wait for several days.Wheat was still thinking that no one would bother him, but when his brother asked, he said that he was angry, and asked him to go to Shi Zhu's house to find him.

Mai Mai couldn't figure out which sentence made him angry, and of course he wouldn't come to his door to give in.Who knows that after a few days, he appeared again.Mai Mai didn't bother to argue with him anymore, anyway, he didn't dare to quarrel with himself when reviewing the book now.

"Xiaomai, are you back?" It was half past You Hour, and the sun was almost setting.The fence of the old house hadn't been completed yet, Zhang Xiaoliu felt that his strength had recovered and he was not so sleepy, so he also came to help.

"Brother." To make a wooden fence, you first knock wooden strips vertically into the ground, and then use bamboo slices to build them horizontally.Zhao Zhengze had already sharpened one end of the wooden stick in advance, Zhang Xiaoliu now only needed to hold the wooden stick with one hand and knock him to the ground with the stone at the other end.Mai Mai hurriedly stepped forward to help, but seeing the stone pillar on the side, he grabbed the big stone on the ground and knocked the wooden stick into it.

"Shi Zhu is here too? He's very strong, really capable." Zhang Xiaoliu took the cloth bag from Mai Mai's body, let him in to eat, and said to Shi Zhu behind him.

Mai Mai pouted, he could do it easily, why did he insist on rushing to come?My brother always likes to praise him.

But he didn't say anything, it would be nice for someone to help his brother.He was really hungry after walking all the way back, and he had to eat first every day when he came back.

When he walked in, Shi Zhu diligently took over Zhang Xiaoliu's work, knocking the wooden sticks in like a model.Although he is younger than Zhang Xiaoliu, he is used to playing around on weekdays and has a lot of strength.

"Shizhu also go in and play for a while. I'll do it slowly. Don't knock it on your hands." Zhang Xiaoliu was still a little worried when he saw Shizhu's rough movements. It's not nice to be hurt.

"Wheat is eating, I'll make it for a while." Shi Zhu smiled at him, bent down and picked up another wooden stick.For some reason, he was always involuntarily nervous in front of Zhang Xiaoliu.Obviously Xiaoliu brother also looks very gentle, never said him.Shi Zhu scratched his head, somewhat confused.

It wasn't until the wooden sticks piled on the ground were all used up, and under Zhang Xiaoliu's repeated dissuasion, Shi Zhu went into the house to look for wheat.

Xiao Song has not returned home, and there is no one in the kitchen.It wasn't the first time Shi Zhu had come here, he walked straight from the patio and knocked on the southernmost house.

"What's the matter?" Wheat's voice came from inside.

The room with the best light is Zhang Xiaoliu's study specially reserved for his two younger brothers. The entrance is empty, only a normal-sized wooden table is placed inside for the time being, and a bookshelf is placed against the wall.There is also a short table by the window, which is made by referring to the drawings drawn by Master Wang. The height is very suitable for children of eight or nine years old.There are a few books casually placed on the desk, and Mai Mai is sitting in front of the desk, and has already started to recite the articles taught by her husband today.

"It's time to teach me how to read today, don't you forget?" Shi Zhu pushed the door open a crack, revealing half of his face, and whispered.

Mai Mai paused her hand clinging to the book, because she knew beforehand that her husband would be taking exams in the next few days, and she felt a little nervous, so she even forgot about it.

"Come in." This study is currently only used by him, and even Xiao Song won't come in to play.Mai Mai had to clean the inside carefully every other day, even wiping the desk and desk. The inside was spotless, which also caused Shizhu to be careful every time he came in.At this time, after listening to Mai Mai's words, he really opened the door and walked in.

The matter of teaching Shi Zhu to read was also after he had a quarrel last time, and Mai Mai was impatient to see him asking questions every time he was reviewing, so he reluctantly offered to teach him three times a month. Every time for half an hour, it depends on his ability to remember a few words.At first Shizhu found this reason, and came to the door the next day after he finished reading the characters on the first day, and finally agreed to teach him every ten days to ensure that he could recognize all the previous characters.

Fortunately, Shi Zhu is not too stupid, he can remember about ten each time, and he will still remember it next time.Mai felt that this was not a waste of effort, so she didn't pick his faults to ruin the agreement.

Mai Mai usually writes down the characters to be taught, which is also regarded as practicing calligraphy.After the ink dries, it can be used for him to read characters.But this time because he forgot what he was going to teach him, naturally he didn't prepare in advance.I had no choice but to spread the book flat on the table, and picked out a few simple words to teach him.

Zhang Xiaoliu also knew about this matter, but since Mai Mai was willing, he was allowed to go.I sigh in my heart that it is really a child, even if there is an awkward situation today, it will be reconciled tomorrow.Don't look at Mai Mai's impatience every time he sees Shizhu, but it's not easy for him to take the initiative to teach.

"Ah Zheng, I'll go to Da Shun Momo's house and sit down. When it gets dark, go back first, don't smash your hands." Zhang Xiaoliu looked at the sky and decided to go to Da Shun Momo first.He knocked all the wooden slats in here, and only waited for Zhao Zhengze to set up the bamboo slices horizontally, so that the chicken could not get out of it.

Zhao Zhengze responded from a distance, and Zhang Xiaoliu walked to the other side.Dashun had to prepare for Fu's coming to get married, and he also had to cook and feed the chickens the next day. He almost always left early and returned late, so he specially waited until this hour to go.

"Fulai, are you at home?" Zhang Xiaoliu walked up to the door and saw Fulai picking vegetables in the vegetable field.

"Here, Brother Liu, what's the matter?" Fu Lai looked up at him, looking not in a good mood, but still answered his question with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoliu felt a little strange that Fulai was a diligent and obedient child.Although Dashun is very strict in discipline, he is also very good to the children, so it shouldn't make him feel wronged.But it was not convenient for him to inquire for a while, so he said: "Then shall I go to you first, Fulai, come to my house tomorrow if you have time."

After moving into the new house, other people in the village occasionally came to sit and chat, but Fulai only came once or twice.Zhang Xiaoliu specially invited him over, if he had any troubles, it would be easier for him to speak up after leaving home.

"Okay! It's in the house, you just go in." They also have a lot of family members, and Fulai has to pick some more vegetables.Zhang Xiaoliu was familiar with each other, so he didn't deliberately get up to see her in.

The door of his house was open, and when Zhang Xiaoliu walked in, he saw Dashun feeding chickens in the house.

"Dashun, are you feeding the chicken?"

"Yeah, these chickens will have to be killed in a few days." Dashun in the hall was holding a pot of chicken food in his hand, which was usually fed to the roosters during the close of the new year.But Fu Lai might have to kill all these chickens to get married, and he had to raise some meat in advance, otherwise he would get used to starvation on weekdays, and the slaughtered chickens would only have skeletons left, which would not look good on the dinner table.

But it can only be fed for a few days, and if it is fed a few days later, it will not grow meat, and it is just a waste of food.

"Brother Fulai is getting married, which is a great joy. It's okay to give up some of the chickens we raised." Zhang Xiaoliu knew that he was most concerned about Fulai's marriage, so he comforted him with a smile.

"Isn't that right? I hatched chickens at the beginning of the year for this day. But seeing the day is getting closer, I'm always worried, alas!" Da Shun sighed, saying that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, But how could he not worry about his son who was right in front of him?My family has no land and no house, and I don't know what to do when the time comes.

"Isn't the marriage a good one? Dashun, why don't you worry about it?" Zhang Xiaoliu asked puzzled.If you don't like the other person, or don't understand them at all, there is some reason to worry.He is obviously very satisfied with himself, so what else is there to worry about?

"You Caoer also came to my place today, Mr. Gao from Ahzheng's uncle's family, do you remember? Because I promised to build a new house for them at the beginning, but now the construction has not started yet, and I am arguing at home!"

Zhang Xiaoliu hardly went out these two days, even the clothes were washed by wheat, and of course he had never heard any gossip in the village.At this time, I couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you say that he was pregnant a few months ago, and he hasn't given birth yet? You can't start work at this time!"

The rule here is that someone in the family is pregnant with a child, and large objects in the house cannot be moved at will, let alone start construction in the house.If the pregnancy is small, the pregnant woman is ill and the pregnancy is unstable, and if it is large, it is possible to have a miscarriage directly.

Dashun glanced at him, and said: "The Datian family also said the same thing, but the Gao family didn't agree. They said that it's okay to start work after the child is born, but you have to give him the silver for safekeeping. Listen, how can there be such a thing?" reason?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoliu felt that the Gao family was not a good stubble, but thinking about what Zhao Datian's family did in the past, it seemed that there was nothing worthy of sympathy.

"This is in line with that sentence. It's not a family, and you don't enter a family. How they treated Ah Zheng before, Dashun has also seen it with his own eyes. I don't think Gao's words make sense, but I'm afraid it's also related to their family." Can't get rid of the relationship. Why does Dashun bother to think about the bad things about their family?"

"You're right, but now I can't find a few decent new things, not to mention building a house, and I'm really afraid that they won't be satisfied if I want to ask for a newcomer..." Da Shun has nothing to do, although As an elder, he can put on airs, but what's the point of having arrogance if he has to make noise every day?

"Da Shun is so caring, Brother Fu Lai also sees it, don't think about it now." Zhang Xiaoliu is not good at persuading people, so he had to say this.

"I tried my best to buy for him, and I really can't blame me." Da Shun thought about it and agreed with him.

Seeing that he really didn't mention it anymore, Zhang Xiaoliu took the bag that had been placed by his side all the time in front of him, and said: "Thanks to you for helping us after daddy left, brother Fulai is getting married now, it's also a gift from our family." Congratulations. If there is something missing, I can make it up as soon as possible." After that, he handed the money bag to him.

Although the money bag looked heavy, it was filled with the copper coins he exchanged on weekdays, which was exactly one tael of silver when converted back.

Da Shun was dumbfounded looking at the bulging bag, and asked, "Brother Liu, are you carrying so many copper coins?"

Zhang Xiaoliu understood what he meant, and said: "I just took this out from home, and no one saw it on the road. Brother Fu Lai is spending money when he gets married, so just take it as a little bit of my heart."

"Even if it's a congratulatory gift, no one from his uncle's family brought such a big portion. It's not easy for Brother Liu to earn some money, so let's take it back! I took out the things I bought for Fulai a few years ago and used them first. It's barely enough." Although I feel sorry for Fulai, but there is no other way, I can only come one by one.

"Dashun, you're welcome. At first we only had weeds in our vegetable field, and even the rapeseed came from you. Now that we've made wine a few times and sold it, you know that you've got some money. You can buy these copper coins. Accept it, feel free to buy something for Brother Fulai!"

Dashun shook his head, and said, "I didn't help much. If you didn't try hard, the family wouldn't even have to give you food. You'd better take it back and make it for Xiaosong in the future!"

Zhang Xiaoliu pondered for a while. Although he had good intentions, it was normal for Dashun not to accept him.As long as they are not greedy for small things or falling into a desperate situation, most people would not dare to accept money from a child.

"Dashun, the chickens in the bamboo grove will be slaughtered by the end of the year, and at that time they will be able to earn a fortune. The two silvers are considered to be lent you by me. You will do the business of Brother Fulai first, and when will you get it?" If you have money, can you give it back to me?"

"Those chickens can really make money?" Dashun was still hesitant.How time flies, those chickens have been fed for several months, and they are growing up.But when I heard that it was about to be released, I still couldn't believe it.

"I can't lie to you about this. You will have to send the chicken out at that time, and shopkeeper Zhang will naturally settle the money. Dashun, put your heart in your stomach!"

"If I use it, I won't be able to pay you back for a while, unless the chickens are really sold and make money..."

"We don't make paperwork, and the family is not in a hurry to spend money. Dashun doesn't have to worry about me." Zhang Xiaoliu said with a smile.There are not many honest people like him and Cao Momo in the whole village.
