The old man Shen worriedly dragged Shen Yu to the Taoist temple, and the result was that nothing happened, and he was fooled by the Taoist priest into donating a lot of sesame oil money.

When I came back, I didn't have a penny left in my pocket anyway.

Mrs. Shen waited at the door all the way, and she didn't dare to speak out. The old couple kept the political affairs very tight, and even the sons in the family didn't know that the fifth child walked through Huangquan Road.

Seeing the donkey cart coming back, she stepped up to meet her, "How is it? What did the master say, is there anything wrong?"

Even though old man Shen was fooled by the master into adding sesame oil to all his money, he was relieved. Seeing the old woman running over like this, he knew it was because she was worried.

"It's okay, it's all right! The master said that the fifth child of our family is a lucky person, and his life will be rich and powerful." The old man Shen got off the donkey cart and asked Shen Yu to come down. He still told the old woman, "Just It was said that it was to send wine to the master, and the fifth brother agreed last time, and suddenly remembered."

Mrs. Shen nodded. In fact, even if she didn't say anything, ordinary people wouldn't think of going here. At most, they just thought it was a little strange.

Shen Yu walked behind and listened silently, feeling a little ashamed in his heart, this master really knows how to fool his father.

Even though the master master flicked the old man Shen about Shen Yu's fate as a rich man, he still listened to Dr. Chen's words, and Chun Zhong didn't let Shen Yu stay in the land.

Fortunately, most of the land was planted, leaving only five acres of corn unplanted.

Mu Jing is also digging the field. Before planting rice in the field, a plow must be plowed first. Mu Jing has cattle, but he doesn’t know how to plow. He went to Carpenter Tan to get a plow and put it on the bank. He was tired of digging. , rest and then continue digging.

The person next to him said, "Mu Orion, your cattle are idle here. Otherwise, I will use your cattle to plow my field once, and then plow yours together. Do you like it?" middle?"

Mu Jing thought it was a good idea, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of the grass."

"Admiration Orion is refreshing."

Shen Yu brought water to Mu Jing, saw him watching from the bank, and handed the water to him, "Why is your second uncle plowing?"

The second uncle's ears are sharp, and Shen Yu didn't speak loudly, but he heard it from a long distance, "I'll change the project with your Mujing, he's a cow, I'm a man, but I didn't bully your Mujing!"

Shen Yu smiled embarrassedly, "Does Second Uncle drink water?"

"Bring water, bring water to your Mujing?"

"Ah."

Shen Yu was not only delivering water here, but also old man Shen and the others, not far away, so he went to old man Shen and the others with the kettle.

"Father, here's some water for you."

"Leave it there, you go back and bring a bucket. You have caught eels here for a few days, and you took them back and stewed them."

"How many? Is it big?"

Old man Shen took a look, "Maybe five or six, there are two that are the size of the middle finger, and two that are two or three, and the other one is probably five or two."

"It's quite big, I'll go back and get the bucket right now." Shen Yu heard that it was not something he could carry back with his clothes, so he had to go home and get the bucket.

When Shen Yu went back, he happened to pass by Mu Jingna, and saw his second uncle plowing the field intently, and quietly approached, "I found out, you are stealing a teacher."

This time he spoke in a very low voice, and moved closer, his breath hit Mu Jing's ear, itching, as if a little paw was scratching it.

He tilted his head slightly, and moved a little away from Shen Yu, "How did you know that?"

Shen Yu didn't notice anything wrong, and continued, "You still need to watch? Everyone knows that you are stealing from your unblinking movements."

"Actually, let's plow the fields. It will be enough if you do it twice more. There is no technical content."

"It sounds like you understand it well, have you ever plowed?"

"I... watched people plow."

Mu Jing thought he was going to say something, but when he heard him say these words confidently, he almost couldn't stop laughing.

"People without hands-on experience have no right to speak." Mu Ding nodded his forehead, "Aren't you busy?"

"I'm free, I have nothing to do."

"Then you go back and feed the duck and some corn kernels for the little one."

Shen Yu agreed, "I also happened to go back and get a bucket to pack eels. My father caught four or five eels, which probably weighed more than half a catty."

"Catch eels, I have two more here, and I'll take them back together later!"

The ducklings I brought back before have already entered the water, so I just need to drive them back every night. In fact, there is no need to drive them, just sprinkle some corn kernels, and then call twice, keeping them running faster than anyone else.

The next batch of ducklings have been put back for four or five days, and the fluffy ones are very cute, but the smell there is not very good. Fortunately, Mu Jing had the foresight to build the shed to the leeward place, and the smell could not be blown. go to the house.

The Second Sister Shen came to help, and Shen Yu asked her with a smile, "Second Sister, why are you here? I'm going to get married in two days, why don't you make more preparations?"

Second Sister Shen smiled nonchalantly, "I don't have anything to prepare, and I'm busy playing in the field, so I thought about coming over to have a look."

Seeing that there were only the two of them, Shen Yu couldn't help being curious, "Second Sister, why did you take a fancy to Chen Dazhuan?"

Second Sister Shen didn't expect him to ask so directly. She felt uncomfortable for a moment, and then she returned to her normal appearance, "Why? It's suitable! It's close to my mother's house, and they are all from this village. If there is anything, my mother's family can take care of it. Then With conditions like mine, with Xinxin, ordinary people would look down on us, wouldn't they?"

Shen Yu suddenly felt that what Shen Ermei said made a lot of sense.

"The most important thing is that Chen Dazhuan promised me to take Xinxin there. I raised Xinxin with my own hands, and I don't feel at ease if she falls into someone else's hands, even if it is my own mother."

"Then why don't you set up a female household? Second sister, you said before that you want to establish a female household."

Second Sister Shen smiled, "Silly little five, it's not so easy to set up a female household. We are orphans and widowed, and we were divorced and returned to our parents' home. If we live a little better, if anyone can't see it, Xinxin and I will still live." Don't live anymore?" In fact, she didn't say one thing, based on what she knew about her sister-in-law in the past few months, even in that house, she suspected that her mother had given her a private room.If a female household is really established, this person would go to her house three times a day to see if her mother really hid her private house for her.

Relatively speaking, Shen Village's folk customs are much more simple. Shen Yu has never seen these things that Shen Ermei said, so he doesn't know how terrible the message is.

"Xiao Wu, your cage is really nice. Did you order it from Carpenter Tan? How much is it?" Every time Second Sister Shen cleaned the duckling, she felt that the duck shed was really clean.The ground is paved with stone slabs, and the iron mesh cage above is also good. When duck feces fall off, they are washed with water every day, and then flow directly into the paddy fields below. It is really not too convenient.

"For these two cages, Carpenter Tan charged me one, two, five, and said it was the cost price."

Second Sister Shen immediately dismissed the idea of ​​ordering a cage when she heard that it was one tael or five dollars.In previous years, she would have to raise two or three hundred ducks in the dark to earn back the one-two-five-dollar silver. She was reluctant to part with just these two cages.

"This kind of cage does not hit, and can be used repeatedly for several years, but it is afraid of rust."

Second Sister Shen shook her head, "No money."

"Second sister, please be direct."

"My sister is called Shicheng. I can't move the money in my hand. I'll wait until I see what Chen Dazhuan will be like after we get married."

Shen Yu had no hope for Second Sister Shen's eyesight, otherwise, if she had really good eyesight, why wouldn't she be able to take a fancy to that little scholar?

"Second Sister, what are your plans after getting married? You know that Chen Dazhuan has no land?"

"I've thought about this. The land will be planted with beans. Chen Dazhuan said that the land is a bit barren, and it won't be possible to grow anything else. Just plant beans for two years and raise them well, and solve the problem of oil consumption by the way."

"Then I'm still in my old profession, raising ducks. There is a small forest on the side of Niujiao Mountain, and no one has opened up wasteland. We plan to build a small shed there. There is water there, and the aquatic plants nearby are not bad. We don't need it for the time being. Worried about the food for the ducks."

"Then how much are you going to feed? Is the silver enough?"

"Enough, let's feed two hundred and see. I used to raise dozens of them. I didn't dare to raise more. They still think they don't taste good."

Shen Yu, "Shouldn't you feed me more?"

"It's a bit too much, and I'm still worried that I can't feed it well!"

When Shen Yu came home, Mrs. Shen and several sister-in-laws were helping to mix the ingredients. This time, the ingredients were different.Old man Shen saw a new method of mixing bran cakes with oil. Old man Shen believed in the mushroom planting manual, so he adopted it without experimenting.

In addition, more and more people came to buy mushroom seeds at home recently, and Mrs. Shen was really soft on collecting money. Although she was very busy and tired every day, Shen Yu saw her so tired that she couldn't lift her arms several times. But Mrs. Shen was in a happier mood than ever before.

"Son, like this, we can build a house in more than three months instead of May. It's hard for you. You haven't lived in a new house for a day in a serious way."

Hearing what Mrs. Shen said, Shen Yu found out that this is indeed the case. Not only has he never lived in a new house, he has never even slept in a new bed. To this day, the bed in his room is still made of the wooden boards he slept in last year." plank bed".

Could it be that he can experience the feeling of sleeping in bed only after forming a bond with Mu Jing?
