The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 340 Enemies meet on a narrow road, mother and son meet (2)

Hearing these words, Mo Yan was also happy in her heart, but she didn't feel that they should be grateful. After all, they worked hard and did a good job, and it was worth her spending the extra ten cents.

After chatting and joking for a while, an older man stood up, looked up at the sky, and said to Mo Yan: "It might snow in the next two days. If it snows continuously, I'm afraid there won't be enough to clean up here. "

Mo Yan didn’t know how to look at the weather. Seeing other people nodding, she thought it would definitely snow in the next few days. In fact, the weather this winter is a bit strange. At this time last year, there were several heavy snowfalls. This year, there were only a few snowstorms after the beginning of winter, but the temperature was much lower than last year.

"You uncles and uncles, please do what you want. Once it snows, the land reclamation work will stop. If it can't be completed during the year, I will still invite you after the new year begins. Grass and trees must be planted on these terraces to protect soil and water. When the time comes, It’s going to be **** you too.”

 “Thank you, little boss!”

Everyone was very happy after hearing Mo Yan's words. They all rushed to express their thanks and no longer worried about the snow delaying things and causing them to earn less money. Moreover, in the beginning of the new year, there was not much work in the fields of each family. If you could help the Mo family, even if it was only for a month, you could earn hundreds of cash, which was better than being idle at home and getting moldy.

Mo Yan let them continue their work, and then he went down to the pond in the depression with a wooden stick. He walked around the edge of the pond, looking at the empty water surface, he thought it would be good to raise some fish and shrimp in it.

 Beijing is located in the north, and annual rainfall is relatively low, making it difficult for ponds to store water. Therefore, ordinary ponds cannot support fish and shrimps. Most of them are caught from the river, and the price is too expensive. The water source of my own pond is spring water. As long as there is no particularly serious drought, it will not dry up. It is good to raise some fish and shrimp in it, whether you eat it yourself or sell it.

But it’s not easy to find fish fry, so you have to catch them in the river. There is a river in Liuyang Village with a lot of fish in it and the water is not too fast. When the fish breed season comes next spring, you can catch some big fish that are about to give birth and put them in the pond to raise.

Mo Yan went around to the built terraces on the other side and felt that there was no big problem. He said hello to everyone and went home.

These two days are the days to visit his father, but it is very likely to snow, maybe quite heavy. Mo Yan decided to take his brothers and sisters to the academy tomorrow. Worried that her father would freeze, she asked Li Xiu to sew two thick quilts and picked up several large bags of charcoal from the utility room.

These charcoals were burned in a kiln dug in the mountains by an old man in the village who knew how to make charcoal. They burn less smoke and are of very good quality. They are no worse than those sold in shops in the city, but the price is much cheaper. One hundred It only cost 80 cents per catty, so Mo Yan bought thousands of catties and could burn them until the weather gets warmer next year.

Vegetables, rice and meat have also been prepared. There are ten space chickens, eight pheasants and rabbits that Xiaohua Dabai hunted back, and a fresh wild sheep is also prepared. The mutton is good for making hot pot.

 In such a cold weather, vegetables are very durable, and the marinated meat will be fine until spring tomorrow.

 The two little ones were very happy when they learned that they would go to visit their father tomorrow. Seeing that their sister had prepared so many things for their father, they were also anxious to do something.

 Finally, Xin'er hurriedly put on the new cotton shoes she had made for her father, and took out the new book bag she had made before.

"You all have gifts for your father, but Zhen'er doesn't have any. Zhen'er is so unfilial!"

Zhen'er felt extremely sad when she thought that she could do nothing for her father. She looked at her two sisters, hoping they would give her some advice.
