With more money, Luo Fei clapped his hands and decided to find someone to repair the fence. It was such a hot day, and he didn't want Xi Yanqing to eat the hard work. Besides, during this time, Xi Yanqing was too busy to get the climbing frame for vegetables, grapes, and money. He could find someone to fix the fence for only one or two taels of silver. Why bother
It happened that Luo Tian had been a little empty for the past two days, so Luo Fei thought about finding his father to get the fence up first. So I thought about it, and took twelve taels of silver to find Luo Tian.
After dinner, the weather became relatively cool, and by the way, I took the little tiger to yo.
The little tiger was holding Luo Fei's hand, and he was walking steadily now. Luo Fei took him to his grandfather, and then mentioned to Luo Tian about asking someone to repair the fence.
"Father, mother, here are 12 taels of silver. The 10 taels will be used for Sibao's exam when he goes to the county next month. The other 2 taels will trouble Dad to find someone to help me fix the fence of the nightshade garden. I'm really busy. off."
"These two fathers have accepted it, as for the entanglement for your brother, you don't need it. Yanqing told Shi Gongzi last time that the Four Treasures were going to take the exam, and Shi Gongzi didn't know what to tell the people below, the Four Treasures are here. There is food and housing in the county, so it doesn't cost anything at all. You should keep the money and thank Mr. Shi. It's serious."
"He's not short of money. Besides, we are all friends. It's normal for friends to help each other." After Luo Fei heard the sound of reading from the house he used to live in, he laughed and said, "Stinky boy, it's strange to be attentive. of."
"No, hold your breath and say that you must be admitted to a scholar. The four treasures said that after the exam is over, it will wait until August. If he can pass the August game, then he is a scholar." Li Yuehua did not. I understand this, all from what my son has to say. But if she wants to come, the child will not lie to her. Think about it, if she can really win the scholar, then her son will be the youngest scholar in the ten miles and eight villages! There is light on her mother's face, with great light!
"Don't let him get too tired, take a rest when it's time to rest." Luo Fei yawned, "Then parents, you should rest early, and I'll go home and sleep."
"Sleep so early?" Li Yuehua was stunned. As far as she knew, her two sons were always the one who slept late.
"Maybe this little one is sleepy." Luo Fei got up, pointed to his stomach, and called the little tiger who was sitting on the grandmother's kang with a big fan and patted the wooden pillow.
"Hey Erbao, wait a minute." Li Yuehua thought for a while, "Do you have it again?"
"Ah, what Luo Tianqi said, I don't know if it's accurate or not." Luo Fei didn't hold the little tiger, and let him go by himself after putting him down. The little tiger was still not willing to leave, and pointed to the wooden pillow: "I want it!"
"That's your grandfather's pillow. What will your grandfather sleep when you're leaving? You can't." Luo Fei grabbed the little tiger's paw. "Go, Dad is sleepy."
"Grandpa, Grandpa!" The little tiger doesn't call him grandpa, but "Grandpa" is very eloquent. He pointed to the pillow, "I want it!"
"Give it! My eldest grandson wants it, and grandpa will give it. Isn't it just a pillow!" Luo Tian put the wooden pillow in his elbow, and hugged the little tiger with the other hand, "Go, grandpa will take it home for you! You say grandpa OK?"
"Okay!" The little tiger patted the pillow, it was beautiful.
Rofe was speechless. His father has used that pillow for at least ten years. In the past, no one would let him pillow it. This is good. The little tiger will give it if he wants it!
After thinking about it, Li Yuehua stayed there anyway, so she told her youngest son to go out for a walk, and came out too.
Luo Ru's stomach is already very big, and she will give birth in a month or so. During this time, Luo Yong didn't let her do anything. Basically, cooking every day was the limit.
When Luo Fei and Li Yuehua were walking to Luo Fei's house, Luo Yong also took Luo Ru for a walk, and the two just met and came together.
"Father, mother, why are you here so late?" Luo Ru asked.
"It's cool outside, come out for a walk. How have you been these two days?" Li Yuehua helped her daughter.
"It's good, it's just that it's not very comfortable to sleep at night, and I'm so tired." Luo Ru was thinking about giving birth as soon as possible. She didn't dare to run now, and she couldn't hold back the day. Those who are used to being diligent are afraid of being idle.
"I'm about to give birth, so don't eat too much for a while. When the baby is too big, it will be hard to give birth." Usually few people worry about such a problem in the countryside, but now these children are in good conditions at home. The food was very good, and she was worried that her grandson would be too big.
"I know mother, I'll drink some millet porridge in the evening. The second brother said it's better to eat more millet."
"Then listen to your second brother." Li Yuehua said, and took her daughter and son to the eldest son's house.
Both sides have been busy these days, and she has not been here for several days. Now that she has come, let's go and see how the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law are doing.
The sheep here in Jingrong finally gave birth to lambs. The others have lost a lot of weight these days, and the dark circles under their eyes have come out, which really makes Luo Ji distressed.
Fortunately, there were a lot more lambs than expected. The forty ewes gave birth to ninety-eight lambs, none of them died, all of them were alive. Although some of the third children were a little weaker when they were born, after Jingrong and Luo Ji's careful care, they are all growing very well now. If Wan Dayun hadn't come to collect sheep from time to time, Jing Rong wouldn't be able to raise them.
The water and grass are abundant in this season, when the lambs grow very fast. In the daytime, Jing Rong and Luo Ji went to herd the sheep together. At first, they only took the adult sheep out. After the adult sheep were full, they came back to feed the lambs. Now that the lambs have grown a lot, they can go with their mother sheep. Go out to graze and grow faster.
Li Yuehua didn't know much about raising sheep, but she could see that her daughter-in-law had lost weight.
"Jingrong, you are too thin, you still have to pay attention to your body." Li Yuehua said, "Mother Huihui will make you a delicious supplement."
"Thank you, mother." Jing Rong smiled, "Actually, it's just this time every year, it's good to go."
"Then you should hurry up and do what, my mother just came over to take a look, it's nothing to do, I'll be back in a while."
"Sit down for a while, mother?" said Roger.
"Why do you sit? Hurry up and let your daughter-in-law go to bed early. Sleep is a great tonic." Li Yuehua went out to find Luo Tian after she finished speaking. Luo Tian is in the sheep shed.
"Don't worry, mother, I'll make more delicious food later, and let your eldest daughter-in-law eat and gain weight." Luo Fei smiled. This time, it was a good time to have a little one in a hurry. After a while, there was everything in the garden, and there were more things he could do.
"Second brother, when are you free to make that pot bun again? I'm greedy. My own cooking is not as good as yours." Luo Ru tried it herself, but she always felt that something was wrong.
"Sure, tomorrow, let's make pot-wrapped meat, stew a piece of fish, and make a chicken and mushroom powder! What else do you want to eat, Sanbao, the second brother will make it for you!"
"Thank you brother!"
"Tsk, family, what are you thankful for?" Luo Fei thought about it, and his saliva was about to come down. He just said that he was not greedy, but he also started to get greedy. But he wasn't just craving meat this time, there seemed to be something else.
Li Yuehua and Luo Tian's family were not in a hurry. Seeing that the children were doing well, they left Jingrong and went to the nightshade garden again. Luo Tian roughly calculated how much wood to use before heading home.
There are dozens of households in the village, and not all of them have a lot of land. Some people sell their land when they are in urgent need of money, and they may not have enough food rations for a year. Therefore, it is easy to find people to do work in the village. These people also like to work in the village. After all, they don't have to be too far away, and people who are familiar with each other don't have to worry about not getting paid.
Luo Tianqi went around the village early and found three people who were willing to repair the fence for the nightshade garden. These three people are all in their twenties, capable and kind. Luo Tian said that as long as the work can be done well, one person will be divided into three to five hundred wen, not including meals. It mainly depends on how much work can be done and whether the quality is good.
In the countryside, a person works hard to plant a field for a year, and in the end he may not be able to get one or two silver coins, unless the harvest is particularly good. So these three to five hundred words are already a lot, not to mention that the work is not that difficult. So the three of them all promised to do the job well, and they went into the mountains to chop wood on the day they had nothing to do.
Xi Yanqing was busy in several gardens during the day, and sometimes he could see people from the same village carrying wooden sticks to repair the fence for him. When Luo Fei was free, he brought some ice cream over to Xiyanqing to quench his thirst, and when he saw these people, he distributed one at will.
In fact, in their opinion, ice cream is not a rare thing. After all, they can make ice cream at home, but it is extremely rare for ordinary villagers to eat ice cream in such weather, so this work is even more difficult. Work hard, after all, cannibalism is soft and short-handed. So the fence was enclosed at a speed visible to the naked eye, enclosing Xi Yanqing and Nightshade in a large circle.
"Brother Yanqing, where do you plan to stay at the door? Do you want the two gardens to be close to each other?" asked the eldest villager, who was about two or three years older than Xi Yanqing. This person's surname is Du, and his name is Du Chang.
"Let's be next to it, it's more convenient to go out and in. You've worked hard, Brother Du." Xi Yanqing added base fertilizer to the nightshade fruit in a small field. This is part of this year's experiment. He wants to see how much the yield difference between those who have added fertilizer in the middle and those who have not added fertilizer is still no difference at all.
"It's not hard work, it's good to live every year." Du Chang sold all the land in his family because his father owed a lot of gambling debts in his early years. Living so hard, thinking about making money to buy land as soon as possible. They also drive some mountains every year, but it takes time to get a good harvest in the mountains, and it is far less worry-free than working in this way.
"It's hard to do this job every year, but it's really a job I don't know if you can do it, Brother Du. This year, my family grows more nightshade than in previous years. Kong can come and help. As for the salary, it depends on the situation. If you work for a long time, you will not cover room and board.
"Brother Yanqing, is this true?"
"Of course it's true. He has my daughter-in-law again, and I can't be busy this year." Xi Yanqing saw Du Chang's work very meticulously, so he thought of saying it in advance. At that time, the man who built the house came over to help, and he was very diligent and capable. Such a person would not cheat or play tricks, even if he paid more wages, he would be worth it.
"That's it, that's the deal. When you receive this nightshade, you can just call me. If there are not enough people, my brother can come over, and he can work quickly." Hit the stick into the soil.
"Okay, if I am short of manpower, I will ask you for help." Xi Yanqing thought, the climbing frame was finished, and after adding the base fertilizer, he had to weed the vegetable garden, and the work was not finished. many. Anyway, the money is getting more and more, but don't expect to be idle.
Seriously speaking, it's okay to be idle, just eating the dividends from Shi Shi's side can make their family live well, but this is not the life he wants.
Busy and fulfilling, rewarding, and fulfilling, this is what he wants.
Luo Fei made lunch and came to Xi Yanqing, accompanied by a small bean.
Xi Yanqing squatted down and opened his arms: "Little tiger, come!"
The little tiger clenched his fists and walked towards Xi Yanqing, throwing himself into his father's arms: "Dad!"
Xi Yanqing picked up his son and said, "Little tiger, what delicious food is there to eat? Is your mouth so fragrant?"
The little tiger covered his mouth and giggled, his soft little fingers white and tender.
Xi Yanqing kissed and walked home while chatting with Luo Fei. The sun shines on the family of three, oh no, the four of them are warm.
