Back in Pu Village, Zhou Wulang and the others in another field had already returned, and they also got rained, but they were more lucky, they only planted it when they were going home after planting, so they were already taking a bath to change their crops. Out of clothes.
As soon as Man Bao and the others came back, the kitchen immediately added water and continued to boil, and a pot of hot water came out after a while.
Bai Shan asked his servants to find a set of Mr. Zhuang's clothes for Wei Zhi, and asked him to take a bath for him.
Bai Shan, Man Bao and the others also went back to their room, and after half an hour, everyone was squatting on the porch with a bowl of noodles in their hands, watching the rain that was getting denser and thicker while eating.
The rain is very thin but dense, and it is this kind of spring rain that people like the most. Wei Zhi is very satisfied, and nodded: "Yes, after the last night, the seedlings in the field should be able to grow. "
Man Bao and Bai Shan also nodded.
It rained until the middle of the night. In a daze, Manbao heard that the rain outside had subsided, but it seemed that there was wind blowing in through the window. She felt that it was getting colder, so she moved her body involuntarily, and got closer to the white Be kinder, found a warm and comfortable position and fell asleep again.
It was Bai Shan who was awakened by her, he opened his eyes and looked at her in a daze, and saw that she was curled up at his waist, so he simply turned over and hugged her into his arms, and found a comfortable place for each other. Continue to sleep after the position.
After working for many days, it was rare that it rained so that they could sleep late, so the two of them just let their feelings go to sleep, and they didn't open their eyes until someone knocked on the door.
It's just that they didn't want to get up, so Bai Shan pulled the quilt for Man Bao, turned over and looked outside, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"
Xibing said outside: "My lord, Mr. Wei has eaten breakfast, and the master wants you to accompany the guests."
Bai Shan retracted the quilt and said: "Let Li Xue and the others go, there are books in the study, and while Master Wei is here, ask him some more questions."
Xibing: "...Xiao Langjun and the others haven't gotten up either."
Bai Shan said without any psychological burden: "Then wake them up, the spring is so beautiful, how can they sleep late? They are still scholars."
After sending away the cakes, Bai Shan hugged Man Bao and continued to sleep.
However, Wei Zhi went to see the fields in Pu Village with Zhou Dalang, the old Zhou head. The fields of their two families are not very far from Pu Village, so looking at the development of Pu Village here, we can roughly know their situation.
At this time, the sky is still overcast, although it is no longer raining, but it always looks like it will rain in the next moment.
After one night, the spring grass seemed to have been pulled up by a fairy, and a large section went straight up.
However, the beans that had been planted in the ground without any movement before had sprouted green sprouts, and some of them directly pushed through the soil, revealing a little blue color.
And the seedlings in the field have turned green, and they look quite energetic, obviously standing upright.
Wei Zhi watched all the way and was very happy. Seeing that most of the fields in this area had been planted, he couldn't help asking: "Is this area Master Zhou's work?"
Old Zhou Tou proudly answered yes.
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "The job fields in Pu Village are doing well."
He felt that Zhou Man had met a good tenant and a well-managed village head, and after thinking about it, he had come here, so why not just go into the village and have a look.
So Wei Zhi went into the village with Zhou Dalang, the old Zhou head.
The villagers seldom sleep in. It rained last night, and they got up early this morning. The men went out with hoes on their shoulders. One was to look at the water in the fields. Some fields had not been planted before because of the drought. , Carrying water also has to pick the good one first, right
So they went out as soon as they woke up today. They didn't even eat breakfast. First, let some water out of the fields with a lot of water, and then dig the ridges of the fields to let the water flow in. They will rake the fields and plant seedlings in a while.
The second is to see if the seedlings in the field have been washed away. If they are washed away by water, it is time to replant them.
Therefore, Wei knew that they had come early, but most of the young and strong people in the village had already gone out to work in the fields. The women in the family were not free either, and they all went to the seedling field to pull out the seedlings, ready to take advantage of the rain this time to transplant.
So there are only children in the village.
They were driving their chickens to the field to find worms to eat, and to cut young pigweed. When they saw old Zhoutou and Zhou Dalang, they immediately dropped their things and ran around them, saying: "Master, master , what do you want, I'll get it for you."
"Go, go, go," said old Zhou, waving his hand, "I didn't bring any candy here today."
Although the children were a little disappointed, they still said: "It's okay, we can help if you don't need sugar."
Old Zhou asked them, "Where are your parents?"
Everyone answered in one go.
Wei Zhi stood aside and watched with a smile. Two children not far away got into a fight over an earthworm, and they fell directly into the mud.
Probably because the clothes were too dirty to go home and it was hard to explain. The two children burst into tears and accused each other: "It's you. I'm going to tell my grandma to beat you up."
"I told my brother to beat you up."
Wei Zhi quickly stepped forward and pulled the two children up, and asked, "Why are you grabbing earthworms?"
"Give it to the chicken."
Wei Zhi glanced at the chickens scattered nearby. They were leisurely walking around biting and eating, without even looking at the earthworms thrown in front of them. Some of the hairs on the back were cut short, some were bald on the buttocks, and some had the wings clipped...
Wei Zhi couldn't help asking, "Why are these chickens bald?"
A child immediately pointed to the bald chicken and said, "This belongs to my family."
Other children immediately claimed their own chickens.
Wei Zhi himself has tenants, as well as long-term and temporary workers, but there are very few households in Pu village that can afford to raise chickens.
Because raising chickens is not so easy, not only does it require investment in the early stage, but it is very likely to die after raising it during the cultivation process, and it may disappear after raising it...
There are too many chickens in the world, the eagle in the sky, the weasel on the mountain, the big mouse in the house, and even the people on the ground. One day it may go out and never come back, so raising chickens needs to bear the risk.
Someone needs to be watching all the time.
He couldn't help asking a child who looked older, "A lot of people raise chickens in your village?"
"A lot, every family has them."
"So rich?"
The child pointed at old Zhou Tou and said, "The chickens given by the master don't cost money."
Old Zhou Tou said with some embarrassment: "It should be, it should be..."
Afraid that Wei Zhi would ask further questions, he seemed to have heard Man Bao and the others say that if the owner made the tenants do a lot of work, it would be seen as unkind and unkind in the eyes of the officials, and he couldn't let Man Bao have this image.
But who is Wei Zhi
Basically, the old Zhou Tou and Zhou Dalang couldn't stop the news he wanted to know. He sat on a big rock and talked to a group of children who were no older than eight or nine years old. I even know about the quarrel between my parents at night.
