Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

Before I knew it, it was winter. A thin layer of snow fell on the window when I got up in the morning.The weather is not very cold, but it reminds me that I should light the charcoal basin.

There is no heated kang here, and they all rely on charcoal basins for heating. These things are all bought by Mr. Feng. If it weren't for him, I almost forgot to get them.

Just after breakfast, Cui Changyu and the others called me at the door. I handed over the matter of lighting the charcoal basin to Mr. Feng, and told him to remember to ventilate.

Cui Changyu came here in a carriage. Scooters are not very practical this season, and the wind blowing on his face is really fatal.

The carriage took us to the Cui family compound. Cui Changyu said that Boss Cui wanted to see me, and he should have come to visit, but my family has too many beauties, so it is not suitable to come, so I asked Cui Changyu to take me to his house. Negotiate well.

Boss Cui seldom comes forward to participate in various things now. Since he wants to participate, it shows that this matter is very important to him.

Boss Cui met me in the main hall. When he saw me, he bowed first and called me Mr. Zhang. I quickly declined and said don’t do this. up.

He asked me about some greenhouses and what I wanted to do, and I said I wanted to try it first, and then promote it if possible.

Boss Cui smiled and shook his head, and said: "Mr. Zhang is young after all. This kind of thing involves people's livelihood, and it is not something that people like you and I can promote. In other words, you and I don't have the ability or qualifications. Of course. Now that you have an official position, you can’t compare with a businessman like me, but that’s what it means.”

I thought for a while and said, "You mean to report to the magistrate first?"

He nodded and said, "That's right."

Me: "But I'm still not sure if this greenhouse will work or not. If it doesn't work, it would be a waste of work. Will the magistrate be unhappy?"

Boss Cui smiled and said, "That's not the case."

He taught me a lesson. He said: "When it comes to people's livelihood, the government can only do it. The credit should also go to the government. No matter whether your idea works or not, the government has a way to deal with it. We Can't steal credit."

"Decades ago, in my father's generation, someone discovered the technique of fruit tree grafting, and he recruited apprentices to spread this technique. What happened later, he was chopped off for a reason!"

I quickly asked: "Why?"

"Mr. Zhang doesn't know what the art of farming and mulberry means to the people. If a person who relies on the sky to change the power of the sky, he must not be an ordinary person. There can only be one extraordinary person in this world. I am like this." Say you understand?"

My heart skipped a beat, I swallowed, and asked in a low voice, "So these technologies can only go from top to bottom, not bottom to top?"

Boss Cui nodded with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is really a transparent person. These are gifts from the heavens. They are the emperor's grace, and they are God's blessings. Such a blessing, how can such a gift come to a small man?" Woolen cloth?"

Me: "..." I really don't talk about politics. Really, it turns out that there is such a way in here!

Suddenly, I feel that this matter is very difficult, and I don't want to do it anymore.

But there is still something to do, since it has been raised.

Oh, trouble!

Boss Cui said: "So you and I will go to see the magistrate first, and let him decide this matter."

I thanked Boss Cui, he really broke down the most unspoken things and told me, he can be called a very respectable elder.

I will remember him well.I am really lucky to have such a guide in my life.

So we went to see Tang Zhifu and told him about the greenhouse. Tang Zhifu was silent for a long time and asked me how sure I was.

I said: "There are several things that crops need for growth, such as sunlight, air, water, temperature and soil. In winter, the only condition that is missing is temperature. Putting a few layers of straw curtains on our greenhouse is equivalent to covering the greenhouse. With a quilt, the shed can keep warm, and the transparent oiled paper can ensure sunlight and store heat, and if it doesn’t work, we can also light a charcoal fire inside, I think the chance of success is relatively high.”

Prefect Tang stood up and walked around the room a few times, I could feel the solemnity of the air.

After a long time, he said, "Okay, I know about this, please keep quiet and wait for my news."

He said to me, "I've been too busy these days, and I've been forgetting to give you back the money you bought for the land before. Today you come to take it with me."

I said, "I have a shop at home, and I can support my family. I didn't plan to get the money back. Let it be my contribution to Fengzhou's post-war recovery."

Tang Zhifu looked at me silently, and said after a while: "Okay, Zhang Duwei is kind, I accepted this money for the people of Fengzhou, I remember that your Zhuangzi is also idle now, why don't you let him be empty first?" .”

I:"???"

Then of course I obediently obeyed.

When I got out of the government office, I asked Boss Cui what he meant.

Boss Cui smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about where to try to build greenhouses first if they are really popularized in the future?"

ah!I see!I suddenly realized!It turned out that Tang Zhifu sold me a favor and wanted my Zhuangzi to be one of the pilot greenhouses!This money donation is worth it!

On the way to send me back, Boss Cui said that there will be little rain this summer, and there will not be much snow in winter. The next year will not be a good year. If the greenhouse is really feasible, it will really benefit the people's livelihood, and the people will not have to go hungry.

This summer, there is little rain and many sunny days. I thought it was pretty good. It was dry and not humid at all. After hearing what he said, I realized that it was not a good thing. There are a few hairs on the tail.

I returned half of the streamer happily, told Chen Xiang and Rong Niang not to tell about the greenhouse, and went home again. Mr. Feng had already heated up the charcoal brazier, and the house was not so cold. I also told Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng immediately understood what was going on, and said that he would not tell it. Anyway, he stayed at home all day long and did not socialize with others.

Uh……

That's right, Niang Rong has already gone to work in Liuguang, what should Mr. Feng do?Staying at home all day is very suffocating.

Or, let him decorate the inn first?

Mr. Feng has no objection, that is where he will work in the future, and he is quite happy to decorate it himself.

So I gave him the design drawing and told him my decoration design in detail. He was very smart and understood it immediately, and said that the design drawing was very rough and he wanted to draw a new one.

I:"……"

Why does everyone dislike my paintings!And why everyone around me is good at drawing!

I have paints and pens and paper at home, so he can paint as much as he likes.

I handed the ponytail hair to him, his strings were almost broken, and the ponytail hair is a very good string material. He held a small strand of ponytail hair, first of all, he was very grateful, saying that the quality of these hairs was very good , suitable for making strings, and euphemistically expressed that these are a bit too much, the horse has suffered.

Me: "..." Immortals speak differently, criticizing them so critically makes people feel uneasy.

There is no rush to renovate the inn. Firstly, the economy is not recovering, and secondly, my family’s economy is not recovering either. Half a lamp has just started to make money. The houses on both sides have to be renovated, and the whole family needs to be fed and drunk. The operation of half a streamer, in fact, can't squeeze out much money, only a little bit, take your time.It can be installed in the second half of next year.Because at that time, the greenhouse technology should be almost mature, and there will be more businessmen coming and going.

I hurried to cook for half a lamp, the place is very busy now, everyone is a bit sleepless, Chen Xiang is leading the female workers to work, Rong Niang does not know how to be a female celebrity, but she designs new clothes and clothes in the design room. The style of the bag, I think she is also very troubled, frowning tightly.

I can only do the cooking and cleaning.

All right, money is tight now, save a manpower if you can, and hire an aunt who cleans and cooks when you are rich.

I was free in the afternoon, so I went to the Bianbu Bookstore to sit for a while. Now there are more or less customers, but there are many free books on the second floor. Pei Shen is also reading, and he came to talk when he saw me.

I just found out that the official paperwork has been released, and they all know that they can take the exam in Fengzhou, haha, I want to go to Boss Zhao to see his face!

I asked Pei Shen how he was doing now, and he said everything was fine. My sister was doing housework at home, and he was out working every day. Although the two of us had a tight life, it was enough to make ends meet, and it was many times better than before.

I told him that I want to open an inn, and he will live in my inn during the exam, and I will leave him a free room.

He was also very moved. His family lived in a remote place, so he really had to get up early to catch the exam from home, which was very troublesome.

In the evening, Cui Changyu also came, and we went to the office to chat.He didn't look very happy, I asked him what's the matter, he said that it was still a matter at home, he was still trying to raise Qingping's position, but Boss Cui and Madam Cui disagreed.

He said: "I didn't have any hope when I mentioned Qingping as a flat wife. I just wanted my father and the others to leave room for concessions when they bargained with me. Sure enough, they proposed to make Qingping an aunt, and I was actually satisfied. , but the day before yesterday my mother suddenly said that Yuanxia has no child, this child is the grandson of our Cui parents, and should be raised by the aunt."

I can understand why Choi Chang Woo broke down.

It is estimated that Qingping is not feeling well now, she is the child's mother, but she wants the child to call another woman mother, so she can only call herself aunt.

Cui Changyu put his hands into his hair, and said distressedly: "Qingping has been crying for two days, she is so weak now, holding the baby and crying all day and night, staying up all night without sleeping, how can her body bear it, my father and mother Said she can't do this, she wants to take the child away, and the house is making trouble all day long, I really don't want to stay at home for a moment."

I can also imagine how upset he is now, and I asked him what he wanted to do.

He raised his head and said firmly: "The child's mother is Qingping, and no one can change this. If they can't accept Qingping as a wife, I can only make peace with Yuanxia."

"Heli? How sad should the young lady be?"

Cui Changyu covered his face and said: "Then what should I do? To tell you the truth, I also proposed to divorce before, but she cried a lot and refused to leave. My parents also scolded me, I..."

He sighed and said: "Yuanxia and I are baby relatives in the womb. We grew up together. She has always been very kind to me and is determined to be my wife, but I really don't have any affection for her." Later, we got married at the behest of our parents, and I thought that was all. Although I didn't have any feelings for Yuanxia, ​​she was gentle, virtuous, well-educated, and could always live a peaceful life. But later, when I went to brothels with my friends, When I met Qingping, I realized that there is really such a person in this world who can make you never want to go back to a regular and ordinary life."

"I fell in love with her from the first moment I saw her. She danced so beautifully and smiled so sweetly. I saw her toes jumping up and down on the stage, and I felt that every move was on the tip of my heart. superior."

"I went to see her again the next day, and then I couldn't leave her for a day. I liked her more and more. No matter day or night, I would be by her side."

"I feel guilty towards Yuan Xia in my heart, but I asked me to go back and be her good husband. I really can't do it. I don't love her! I don't love her at all!"

"My parents have quarreled with me too, but I really..." He raised his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you know that feeling? Every hair of Qingping is attached to me!"

Pointing to his heart, he said, "I proposed to make peace. In those days, Yuanxia wept every night. For me to go home, they finally proposed to let Qingping come in and be my concubine. Leave."

"It was like this later on, Yuanxia has no objection to this, she has always done a good job to her young wife, Qingping doesn't make troubles or troubles, she should pay her respects, she should be filial and filial, we live in peace like this, Until now the baby is born."

"What do you think I should do? It's really hard for me. I used to feel guilty for not marrying Qingping into the family. She said it doesn't matter, as long as we are together, but now, they want Taking Qingping's child away, separating her flesh and blood, Qingping's heart is broken, how can I just watch her heart break."

I was also very upset, my eyes turned red, Cui Changyu was already in tears, and I didn't know what to do, this is really a difficult scripture for every family.

Cui Changyu cried for a while before he calmed down. He left, saying that he could not leave Qingping for too long, for fear that something would happen to her.

It can be seen that he really likes Qingping, and it can also be seen that he is really a very difficult man. The family is in a mess, so he can only come out and cry for a while before going back to continue to face it, alas!

I told Chen Xiang about this in the evening, and Chen Xiang felt sorry for Qingping, saying that Boss Cui and his wife were dishonest, but they were women who had just given birth, so they were separated from their mother and child, and this was not killing Qingping. .

Chen Xiang said a lot indignantly that Qingping was his first friend in Fengzhou, who taught him to write and draw, and he cared about Qingping very much.

I listened quietly and suddenly said: "Ah Xiang, I will never take a concubine in my life, nor will I like others."

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Actually, if I can't give birth to a child..."

I interrupted him and kissed him hard: "Then I don't need others to live!"

Chen Xiang stopped talking, and lay quietly on my chest. He is really obsessed with children, God, just let Chen Xiang have a baby, one will do!
