clang farming notes

Some of the caravans directly took a large group of people to Liangshui for trading, and some, like Jiang Maolin, took some samples with a few people and went to Liangshui City to check the situation first. Anyway, the number of people left in the camp gradually decreased.But Duan still didn't relax, because all the caravans had placed orders with him, asking him to prepare food and grass for the return trip.This is a big deal. Generally speaking, the goods of the caravan on the return journey are more expensive, and when it is cold in Yanbei, no one is likely to be willing to stay longer. They almost go on the road after returning from the exchange to get supplies.

Duan didn't dare to be negligent, and because most of the people in charge of the camp had gone to the exchange market, the rest of them were more frugal. Except for sending back food and vegetables every two days, the business of selling food had stopped.Those children can be regarded as easy, and finally they can concentrate on studying with Du Zhongping.During this period of time, Du Zhongping gave those children who went out to do business, in addition to their daily homework, he also gave special lectures on "emphasizing profit over righteousness" and so on. If you have knowledge and experience, you won't really become a person who values ​​profits over righteousness.

The people who were waiting to listen in Li Zheng nodded inwardly, this Du Xiucai is really considerate, he is afraid that the children will lose their minds when they see the world, so it seems that there is no need to worry about people like Ding Sangou appearing again after a long time.

Li Zhenghui came to Du's house from time to time not because of Du Zhongping's lectures, but because of Du An.Duan took over the job of helping people prepare food, grass, and supplies. This time, the quantity was particularly large. He wanted to discuss with Lizheng how much each family would share for the preparation.But the situation of each family in the village is different, and no one understands Li Zheng, so he invites Li Zheng to discuss.This is also the meaning of respecting Lizheng. For such a big matter, Lizheng always needs to nod.What's more, each family's share is too small, and a young person's speech has no weight, and he will be blamed if he can't say it well. Li Zheng opened his mouth and everyone was convinced.

Li Zheng was very satisfied with the attitude of the Du family. To be honest, at the beginning, he really didn't expect that the Du family boy could make such a fuss with a few half-grown children. He thought they were just earning money.It's unexpected that everyone in the village will benefit.Now in this village, which family's food is not sold by the Du family boy?Which family has not delivered grain and fodder to the camp through the hands of the Du family kid?They also calculated the money in person and on the spot, which really saves worry and trouble.The dishes that would have been thrown away or fed to the pigs that could not be finished, my mother-in-law made a few dumplings and wontons, and all of them were converted into cash in Duan's hands. Now there is no one in the village who does not pick on Thumb!

Duan discussed with Lizheng: "It's a little bit of a stretch in our village to pack all these things. The food and other things have to be ground freshly, and the fodder has to be tidied up. It takes a little effort. Or we will come Do you want some from other villages?"

Li Zheng was a little hesitant: "Shall we catch up? The price is really good, I'm a little bit reluctant to let people from other villages take advantage of it!"

Duan said with a smile: "That's what I think. Didn't he just open this exchange market once? If he makes money this time, there will be more people in the exchange market next spring, and he will not worry about selling food and other things at that time. They can’t be lowered either. As for the fodder, we definitely don’t need that much in spring, so we might as well sell more fodder now, and save most of the food until next spring.”

Lizheng thought for a moment, isn't it? That's the reason, so he nodded.

Duan said: "I have to tell everyone in the village about this, lest the big guys think that it's bad for me, Duan, to favor others."

Li Zheng said: "Of course, good things can't turn into bad things, and we can't let you suffer if we are all for everyone. Let me go and tell them that you have helped so much with your busy schedule, let them celebrate the New Year Thank you very much for the gift!"

Duan hurriedly said: "It's not necessary. To be honest, I wouldn't dare to make such a big fuss if there were no people in our village to support me? It's my fate, and there will be more times like this in the future. Now, when will you be polite?"

Lizheng laughed loudly: "With your auspicious words, it will be better if we can sell at the same price as this year in the future."

In the evening, Du Zhongping had already washed Jin'er and stuffed it into the bed, and was sitting on the edge of the kang telling some short stories to the children.This study also needs to be done one by one, as long as Jin'er completes her homework every day, Du Zhongping is still easy to talk and is willing to coax the children.Du Zhongping told the story in a soft voice, and answered the "why" raised by Jin'er from time to time. The light on the table shone over and printed the graceful silhouette of Du Zhongping.This looks like a warm picture at first, but the crackling sound of the planner and someone's strange laughter from time to time (?) make it all the more weird.

After another burst of abacus, Du Zhongping heard someone's slightly satisfied laughter again, which was extremely ear-piercing. He gritted his teeth and couldn't bear it anymore. Du Zhongping grabbed a pillow and threw it over: "It's the middle of the night." You don’t sleep, you just toss around, Jin’er still sleeps? Hurry up tomorrow to build a kang for you in the east wing, you and your abacus go to sleep!”

Duan hurriedly caught the pillow so that it would not fall into the inkstone.Not daring to continue the calculations at the moment, he hurriedly put away all the books, calculations, pens and ink, and went out to wash and prepare for bed.Brother Ping is in the middle of his anger, but he must never answer. Whatever you say will become a sophistry to him, but his anger comes and goes quickly, so he can coax him after a while, that's all.

Besides, he did the calculations just now, and the income this time is quite a lot, enough to cover the family's expenses for a year, and this is not counting the income from the batch of food and grass prepared later.According to this, Brother Ping won't need to worry about the family's income in the future. It's too good to be good, but it's enough for Brother Ping to live the life he wants to live. At least, it's absolutely no problem to hire someone to do the work, and he will do it again next year. There is no need for brother Ping to go to work in the field.Well, after I've been busy for a while, I'll cut some clothes for my family. Brother Ping has grown a lot this year, so I need to make some long robes. They are all Mr. Ren, and they are necessary. Decent.

After Duan washed, he entered the room lightly. Du Zhongping had already fallen asleep, turned to Jin'er, and patted the child's back with his hand. Duan probed over, and the child had closed his eyes , Occasionally clicked his mouth, and fell asleep in a short time.Turning around and blowing out the candles on the table, the room was plunged into darkness for an instant.No matter what Pinger said, he felt sorry for himself. Since he started to settle accounts at night, the candles at home have been lit instead of oil lamps. Although they are more expensive, they are much brighter.

Duane groped to get undressed and got under the covers.After laying the quilt for a while, it was already warm.Duan lay down and his heart warmed up.Brother Ping just doesn't talk about it, but he thinks about himself in everything.He habitually stretched out his hand to flatten his brother's hand, but unexpectedly he only touched one of the back spine, and even dodged when he was touched.Duan was speechless, and felt aggrieved. These days, the time when I was closest to Brother Ping was when I was sleeping at night, I could hold his hand. Why didn't I hold his hand when I was angry today?

Duan leaned forward, gestured for a long time but didn't have the guts to directly pull Brother Ping over, so he could only let him face his back.Lying down slumped, but not reconciled to falling asleep like this, what a disadvantage he must have suffered!After thinking for a long time, Du An stretched out his hand and poked Du Zhongping: "Brother Ping, turn around and let's talk?"

Du Zhongping didn't move, and Du An continued to stab him again: "Let's talk, how long has it been since we talked properly, huh?"

Du Zhongping originally planned to let him vent his anger and let it go. After all, Duan is tired enough these days. Hearing him say this, the anger in his heart "huh" came up. He turned over and slapped him. Opening the hand that harassed him persistently, he lowered his voice and said angrily: "How long do you know you haven't talked properly? Let's forget about everything else every day, and the calculation of such a small account is endless, even looking up Jin'er doesn't even have the time to glance, how much more money can you calculate! If you do this again, I will give you a room alone, and you and your account book have been there!"

Du An became anxious, and stretched out his hand to grab Du Zhongping's hand: "What is this? It's nothing like that!"

"No such thing?" Du Zhongping became more and more angry: "Jin'er's chin is so pointed, you didn't notice it, and you still said it's not such a thing?" As he said that, he moved his hand out, this Du An, He didn't learn anything else when he went out, but he even dared to open his eyes and tell nonsense. Jin'er's chin, um, and his own chin, in mynah's words, no matter how sharp it is, it could be used as an awl, he just didn't see it!Du Zhongping was really angry.

Duan was even more anxious, Brother Ping was really angry, and this hand would give him a back again, but he didn't dare to squeeze Du Zhongping hard, Du Zhongping struggled again and again, watching Then he got out, Duan was anxious, stretched out his arms, and hugged Du Zhongping, including the quilt, into his arms.

Both of them were dumbfounded, but it was Du An who came to his senses first, tightened his arms and brought the people all around him, face to face, smelling each other, Du An only felt that looking at Du Zhongping's bright eyes, his mouth I can't say a word.The person in his arms started to struggle, and he hurriedly and boldly took the person's head to his shoulders, without looking at his face, and finally managed to speak: "Brother Ping, listen to me, listen to me!" I said, after finishing talking, you can punish me any way you want!"

Du Zhongping didn't move, resting his chin on his shoulder, waiting for him to speak.Duan felt the sharp chin on his shoulder, and he really felt very guilty. What happened to him? He obviously did business because he wanted to take better care of this person. How could he have thought that he would be so negligent for the sake of money? The sharp chin seemed to have pierced into my heart!

"It's all my fault. I haven't seen the world, and I got into the eyes of money! I have wronged you these days, and you don't care about family affairs. I won't do it again!" Duan admitted his mistake first.

"...Our family is not short of money, why are you so concerned about making money? Why do you need so much money? There is nowhere to spend the money in this place!"

"At the very least, it must keep you from working in the fields. How can Brother Ping do this crop work? Even Jin'er, will he be made to be like the children in this village in the future? How can our children Why suffer like this?" Duane murmured.

"Why can't I do this job?" Du Zhongping heard that Du An was thinking about himself, and his anger was not so strong.Kicked Duane: "Let go, it's so hot to hold, hurry up!"

Duan let go of his hand, Duan lay down flat, Duan leaned up and closed the quilt for him, and touched his hand secretly, fortunately, he was willing to hold it this time.

"When you do things in the future, think about what you are doing first. Don't throw away the original plan at the end. What has become of it!" Du Zhongping was still a little dissatisfied and couldn't help complaining.

"Don't worry, it won't happen in the future." Duane promised, "I still know which is lighter and which is heavier."

The author has something to say:

Duzhongping children's shoes, are you sure that the pointed chins of you and your family's Jin'er are not so sharp because of normal physiological development?

Du Zhongping squinted: What does it matter to you?Anyway, if it is pointed, it is pointed!I didn't say that it was because of Duane. If he insisted on thinking that way, I couldn't help it.

Then you really forgave him so easily?

Du Zhongping: Hmph, let's talk!

Smiling face: Thank you for actively providing various washing boards, abacus, motherboards and other tools!

Duane scratched his head: What should we do?Be sure to make up for the meat that brother Ping lost!That pointed chin looks so distressing!
