After being reminded by Li Feng, for the people who come to buy wheat seeds, at most one family can sell seeds of two acres of land, and there is no more. After all, grain types are limited, so as much as possible can be planted by as many people as possible. Chunming promised to prepare more grain next year.
This made the people who bought the wheat seeds laugh from ear to ear, while those who got the news and did not buy the grain seeds beat the ground with regret. Why were they timid and afraid of losing their money in the first place
At first when Tang Chunming released the news that he was going to sell wheat seeds, some narrow-minded people came out to talk about it. The grain seeds sold for fifty cents a catty were sold at a loss. What is the difference between this and direct money grabbing? Money, the most expensive wheat seeds in the shops in the city are not sold so expensive. Naturally timid and afraid to venture forward is actually a problem with most of them. To put it bluntly, it is cautious. They have not seen Teng Yu coming to buy food. If they knew, they would not have any hesitation.
When the word came out for the second time, those who took a wait-and-see attitude because they believed other people's gossip regretted that they wanted to rush into those people's houses and smash them. These gossipers are still sitting outside on a small bench, eating melon seeds and chatting with others, and some people rush to them and shake their fists to beat them. When things are clear, it is said that the grain grown can sell for forty per catty. When it was five cents, the person who was still leisurely just howled with a groan.
"Just howl, there is no hope if you howl loudly, the wheat seeds have been sold out long ago, anyway, you didn't even think about buying wheat seeds, doesn't it mean that my brother is cheating money to make black money? There is more. Brother Ming said, don’t wait until the time is out, and go again next year. Anyone who wants to go to his house to ask for seeds at this time will have to be on his blacklist next year. Do you know what a blacklist is? It means that there will be no seeds in the future. If you sell to this kind of people, go ahead and make a fuss." The visitor taunted the man, let out a sigh of relief before leaving and going home, he felt much better seeing others not feeling well.
There was no sound for the next half a day, and they found that the usual methods would not work at all, and they were really afraid that Brother Ming would come up with some kind of blacklist. Seeing that there were not many good faces around, the man went home disheartened, and of course he left a sentence: "It's not that I dragged you down so hard that you couldn't buy it. What's wrong with me?"
When someone told Tang Chunming, Tang Chunming just smiled. He was impatient to deal with some people's unreasonable methods, so he said it very bluntly, whoever wants to make trouble, don't want to buy from his house in the future. Take a seed and want to force him? Hmph, seeing if he succumbs or not, he is too lazy to argue with those people.
Zhang Xiu, Wang Mo, and the others also bought five acres of wheat to grow back. After all, they couldn't plant all the wheat in the family's land, but also planted some other vegetables that the family must eat in winter. It's hard for Brother Ming to be jealous, so Tang Chunming on the side of Sixth Uncle and Uncle Tie Da also asked them to get wheat seeds from his own side, which was not included in Lizheng's share.
As for the stepmother, Tang Chunming directly asked Li Feng to send two hundred catties of wheat, which can be planted or ground into flour by himself. He also told the situation in his village and let the stepmother make the decision. The same way the food is sent here, and the price difference will not be earned.
&&&
Both Tang Chunming and Li Feng's fields are planted with winter wheat. The vegetables they want to eat can be grown in so much land in their own yard. Like the villagers, he also grows radishes and cabbage. Of these two, one is used to make pickled radishes , one is used to pickle sauerkraut, which is a standing farm dish in winter.
But after the wheat was planted, another thing was put on the agenda in their family, that is to build a house. Even He Lao urged them. He said, hurry up and build the house and get married, so as not to toss his old man all day long.
Tang Chunming also felt that it was inconvenient, so he hurriedly asked Li Feng to find someone to build the house in the backyard. As for what kind of house to create, I would like to have upstairs and downstairs, but I think it's better to be honest and follow the trend. I discussed with Li Feng to build three big houses according to the pattern of the front yard, and add wing rooms on both sides to match the front. The three courtyards are connected, so that the overall look is a bit of a courtyard with two entrances. When the main room on the front yard is opened, you can directly enter the backyard from this side.
"It's going to be winter in the future, so why don't you use earth dragons in the house? Children can feel more comfortable with earth dragons, and I don't have to lie on the kang all day long. The house on Mr. He's side will also be rebuilt together." Thinking of it When he first came here, he couldn't do without the kang as if he was making a nest. Tang Chunming didn't know what expression to make. At that time, he was really making a nest. He was pregnant in October, and he gave birth to the little boy, A Sen.
Mr. He smiled and listened to the couple's discussion, and didn't express any opinions, but he didn't tend to have earth dragons in his heart, and the old man could live more comfortably in cold weather. Seeing that the two of them had almost discussed, he said: "I'll go Get some new beans and grind soymilk to make tofu for everyone, Alin, watch grandpa grind soymilk for you."
"Okay, grind soymilk." Alin clapped his hands with a smile. He knew that Grandpa He asked Uncle Feng to buy a small stone mill. Grandpa He said it was used to grind soymilk for him to drink. Alin had been waiting for it. Elder He grabbed Ah Lin's hand and walked out with a smile.
When Mr. He asked Li Feng to buy a small stone mill, Li Feng said that Mr. He is very good at making tofu. In the past, when he was in the north, there was nothing to eat in winter. The conditions in the army were even more difficult, and it was rare to improve. The tofu made by Mr. He has become the most popular food. And Mr. He only remembered it when he saw the beans that he jumped out of in the yard. Although the conditions in the north were difficult, he still missed him. Naturally, he wanted to reproduce his skills.
There is a large stone mill for public use in the village, but Mr. He likes to use the small stone mill by himself. He pushed the stone mill while telling little Alin stories. Bucket, this is the end of the allusion. He took the bucket and went to the kitchen. Li Feng saw that he was in high spirits and lit the fire early and the pot was hot.
Mr. He didn't need other people's help. He filtered the soy milk twice before pouring it into the pot. He didn't throw away the remaining bean dregs. After washing my hands and coming over to get busy, I cut half a piece of fat and thin meat and minced it to make a bean dregs meatball.
When Li Feng got busy in the room and came over to take a look, he saw Brother Ming shaking his arms and chopping meat over there, while Mr. He was laughing and stirring the soy milk in the pot by the stove to prevent the soy milk from sticking to the bottom of the pot It overflowed, while Ah Lin was peeling the onion and garlic under the command of Ming Geer, and accidentally wiped his hand on his eyes, and his tears burst into tears, and he was teased by the heartless grandmother.
After the soy milk was cooked, several people in the kitchen tasted the hot soy milk first. The strong bean aroma was loved by both adults and children, and Li Feng took over Tang Chunming's work and continued to chop the minced meat. The key to making tofu is the step of ordering tofu. Usually, Tang Chunming has only seen others make it but never tried it himself. In his previous life, when the New Year came, the villagers liked to make some old tofu and keep it at home for cooking.
The bean curd is gradually taking shape in the hands of Mr. He. He has just tasted the fragrant soy milk, and now he can eat the tender and tender bean curd. Mr. He made the salty sauce by himself. He was also happy in his heart. He tasted it himself, and it tasted better than the bean curd made in the north. After thinking about it, he knew it was because of the beans and water. He often made tea with water at home. It's unusual not to have well water at home.
Children of A Lin's age like to eat sweets. Tang Chunming added jam to the bean curd in his bowl and stirred it. The man ate deliciously, and waved his little arms angrily "ah", he was too bullying this baby.
The remaining bean curds are all used to make tofu. As for the tender and smooth bean curds, Mr. He said that he would be happy to continue making them if there are supporters.

When the drawings came out, Li Feng was full of energy, and immediately came forward to find someone to start work in the backyard, which would be his and Brother Ming's home in the future. The backyard was completely bulldozed after the last batch of vegetables were sent out. In order to make the space more spacious, the backyard wall was pulled down and expanded, and the backyard was originally bought in the back mountain. However, for the sake of safety, after enclosing the place to build the house, the courtyard wall was built first, and it was stronger than the original one.
All the people in the village who had planted the land came to help. From this look, I knew that it was the place where Li Feng and Brother Ming would live after they got married, and they joked while helping. I've been with Li Feng for a long time, and looking at Li Feng's face now, it's not as fierce as it was rumored before. If you don't stare at Li Feng's face carefully, you can't see the scar on his brow Moreover, the original dark scar was replaced by newly grown eyebrows, no matter how you look at it, he is a slightly colder and stronger man.
Nowadays, some people see that as long as Li Feng's limit is not touched, he is still a very easy-to-talk person, so some people joked, "Did you just get hurt when you came back, kid Feng? So now the time The scars on this face will gradually heal." At the beginning, even a courageous man was a little scared when he saw the scar, especially when Li Feng frowned, he really looked like a god, and he didn't know Where did Li Conggen's family have the courage to confront such a nephew
Li Feng, who was consolidating the foundation with others, raised his hand and wiped the original wound as if he remembered something. When he first came back, Mr. He had helped him heal for a while, and the situation was considered good. When he was just injured, half of his face It was all ruined, even scars were left on the cheeks and forehead, and Mr. He used the secret medicine from the original palace to get rid of those scars, leaving only the one on the eyebrow peak. Brother Ming didn't pay attention to the wound on his face after he came back, so Li Feng didn't pay attention to it anymore, and now he remembered to touch it after hearing what others said. After drinking the food in the home space and drinking the spring water in the space, not only the old wounds in the body are gradually recovering, but also the wounds on the face are gradually fading away.
He knew what was going on in his heart, but he smiled and replied on his face: "Maybe, I haven't noticed it myself."
"If you want me to say, the mood is better, the body will heal naturally, and the wound on this face will naturally heal quickly. If you want me to say, whether you are looking for a brother or a man, the important thing is to live with a good character , I don’t know which one is the one who patronizes the appearance and suffers in the end.”
"What's the matter? How do you say these words properly?" Someone wondered.
"You don't know yet, didn't Zhang Lanhua have been divorced for a long time? That man has already married another brother in Zhang Luo. I heard that this new husband looks no worse than Zhang Lanhua. I really don't know what to think."
The buddies on the other side who were busy picking up vegetables and cooking were also talking about the same thing. The marriage between Li Feng and Tang Chunming hadn't been finalized yet, and another family in the village was going to have a wedding. Naturally, someone would come up and talk about it.
"This brother's price will drop when he is divorced, but it's nothing to the man. In less than half a year, he will marry another one soon, but this man is really good. The loss before was not enough. Now he is married. The other one is said to be a good-looking one, and she spent fifteen taels of silver just for the dowry, tsk tsk, I remember spending a lot of silver when he married Zhang Lanhua, how much money does his family have to toss about? "
"Fifteen taels of silver? Which unmarried brother is this married to?" The news from the brother's side is faster than that from the man's side. He even inquired about how much dowry was paid. Some people find it incredible. asked with a raised voice.
"It is said that the man himself met outside, and the old people in the family did not agree. Because of Zhang Lanhua before, the man separated from the house to live his own life and never served the old man for a day. This time, the old man wanted to help his son. Marry an honest and virtuous brother to win back his son's heart. The result is good. It's the same as the last time he married Zhang Lanhua. Didn't he also fall in love with Zhang Lanhua that time? Don't mention it when Zhang Lanhua first married. Too many."
"I've also heard that the person this time is probably not a good person. He is a widow with a child. Is it my mother's brother who told me that his reputation in the village is not very good? I don't know anything about it with the men in the village. I'm really afraid that one shit-stirring stick will come out of our village and another worse one will come. After all, the days are getting better and better. If another one comes... "
This brother sighed as he said it, but when he saw that other people had lost their voices, he realized that what he said was a bit wrong. Speaking of which, Brother Ming is also a widow, and it’s not that no one has passed it on in private. Mingge'er's reputation is not good for hooking up with wild men and so on, and what's more coincident, Mingge'er is also taking care of children. When this person thinks of this situation, he slaps himself in annoyance: "Look at me! This mouth, I don’t mean brother, I don’t know what kind of person Ming is, he is really a good brother who can’t be found even with a lantern.”
Zhang Xiu, Shen Fulang, and Wang Mo were all there, knowing that these people were concerned about their relationship with Brother Ming, and afraid that they would mind, the three of them glanced at each other and shook their heads secretly. It was not good for them to intervene in such matters. They can't manage what kind of brothers, even the elderly at home. But they are also worried that the atmosphere in the village is getting better and better now, if there is a shit-stirring stick, it will be enough to cause headaches, and Zhang Lanhua didn't think that it was Zhang Lanhua who made such a thing.
Tang Chunming was busy taking care of the children, so he gave the money to Mrs. Shen to help them buy things and prepare lunch for the people who came to help every day, but he didn't come, but Wang Ying came to help. As he got more proficient, he simply helped in the kitchen, and while chopping vegetables, he overheard the conversation of those people just now.
Wang Ying really didn't take it to heart. In his opinion, with the personality of his stepson now, he wouldn't care too much about this matter. He didn't stop chopping vegetables in his hands. He looked up and saw the embarrassment of others, smiled and said : "It depends on the man in charge if he can't survive these days. If the man in charge can control it, I can't help it if I want to talk about it outside. I think Li Feng is a good man, and he has a good sense of proportion. "
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the previous embarrassment was no longer there: "That's right, now who doesn't know that Feng is a good guy, takes care of his family, can make money, and is a loving brother." Especially now Brother Ming's two children, that's really good, of course Brother Ming is also capable, now who doesn't envy Brother Ming for finding a good man, and boy Feng is also envied by other men for finding a good brother Hey, just selling wheat seeds cost more than a dozen taels of silver, which brother would make such money.
Here Tang Chunming finally put his son to sleep, he was really tired, the sound at home was too loud, he had to transfer his son to Wang Mo's house, Wang Mo's mother took care of the child at home, just in time to help He took a look, but he did most of the things by himself, and he was embarrassed to throw his hands away to others. He didn't know about his own boy, so he stuck to him. People, even Zhang Xiu and the others, when it was time to drink milk and sleep, they would cry for him as a mother, and would not be coaxed by others.
Wang Mo's nanny, Zhang Changming's mother, smiled and said to Tang Chunming, who was wiping sweat, "you are much easier to take care of than my family, and my family is the one who makes trouble." Having so much fun, Coax drank goat milk and fell asleep.
Tang Chunming was dripping with sweat. If he struggled a little more, he didn't know if he would give up. Anyway, he was exhausted. With this kid, he couldn't do anything easily. He couldn't take care of the mess at home. He smiled Said: "Grandma, watch for me, I'll go back and have a look, and call me over if he wakes up."
"Understood, you go to work, I will definitely call you over when this little boy wakes up." Mammy smiled, such a big boy is very painful, and he doesn't cry or make trouble when his mother is around , Seeing everyone is happy.
Tang Chunming waved his paw and hurried away. The family was busy, A Lin was completely handed over to Mr. He, and Tang Chunming couldn't even care about it.
However, Tang Chunming's rules were good at the beginning. Even in such a busy situation, the three children A Lin, Da Mao and Er Mao did not forget to take care of Ta Yun. Watching the little Ma Ju'er grow up day by day, the three children felt more and more in their hearts. Have a sense of accomplishment and work harder.
Because there are many people who come to work, the so-called many people are powerful. After working for more than half a month, the new house in the backyard was completely completed, the beams were erected, and the new house was put on the sun. Tang Chunming would also collapse after the whole process was completed. When my brother first separated, building a new house was not so lively, but now it’s good, people came over one after another, and they were all empty-handed, and the gifts they sent filled Mr. He’s room.
"Grandma, new house, when will we move to a new house?" Ah Lin excitedly walked around the new house and came back to ask Grandma who was lying on the kang.
Tang Chunming patted the little guy's head weakly: "After a while, which room does Ah Lin fancy? I'll keep it for you."
"Okay," A-Lin became worried after being happy, "Mother, can't I live with my mother if I have my own house?" A-Lin was very worried. What if grandma lives and sleeps together
"Haha..." Tang Chunming looked at his son's tangled face and was so happy that he hugged him and rolled on the kang together, which made A Lin giggle and forget about the worries and entanglements before. Little Asen, who was ignored on the Internet, protested "ah", but Li Feng, who saw him when he entered the room, hugged Asen and wiped away his drooling saliva.
Of course, we can’t move in the new house immediately after it’s built. It needs to be dried for a while to get rid of the moisture. Moreover, according to Li Feng’s intention, we should wait until we get married before moving in. Tang Chunming didn’t object to Li Feng’s little insistence. But I asked Mr. He whether to live in the new house together or stay in this front yard. Mr. He's house has also been tossed for a while. The ground dragon is paved underneath, and several firework passages are built underground with bricks. Mr. He thinks this is good, and there is no need to move it around.
Li Feng also hired a special carpenter to stay at home to make furniture. The new house needs a full set of new furniture, and the calculation time can completely catch up with the time to get married.
After the completion of the new house, no one would say that it is a good one. In Pingshan Village, the original Lizheng house was considered the best, but now it is the turn of Tang Chunming's house. People who came to visit said that it will be better than that in the town. The house of the big family is poor, and they would be happy to live in it for the rest of their lives. Like ordinary people, they just built a kang, who would spend money to buy blue bricks to lay fire dragons, it would cost tens of taels of silver just to build a few big houses.
Tang Chunrong also wanted to come and help when building the house, but neither Wang Ying nor Tang Chunming would let him. How much help he, a weak little man, could do, might as well study hard in the school. At the beginning of next spring, I will take the entrance examination for the school where the two sons of the Rizheng family belong. That school is also well-known, and Madam has very strict requirements for recruiting students. Not anyone can get in with money, but must pass the test of the master. At the beginning, Lizheng's two sons passed the test, which made him very proud. It took a while, and it was precisely because of this that I had higher expectations for my two sons.
There are more lambs collected by Zhang Changming in the back goat pen, but now there is no need for Tang Chunming to secretly feed the space spring water for conditioning, all of them are left to Li Feng to deal with, and even the land in the space has been rearranged by Li Feng After going through it again, Tang Chunming was not ashamed or even proud.
&&&
Zhang Xiu still loves to run to Brother Ming's house after finishing the family affairs, and helps Ming Brother take care of the children to do housework. Every time he goes to see his grandma, he is squeezed by grandma and brother, saying, But as long as they don't understand, Zhang Xiu just pretends that he didn't understand and didn't hear, and still go his own way. For him, as long as the head of the family doesn't say anything, he doesn't think his family will listen to his grandma and brother.
In the beginning, it was rumored in the village that after his family had done business with Brother Ming in the city and obtained silver, he and Dashan were immediately called back by the eldest brother, who insisted on telling them what business they did with Brother Ming in the city and how much silver they got. .
At that time, Dashan had already discussed with him in private. Now that the money was gone, grandma had to be filial to avoid being talked about by others, so he prepared five taels of silver for the two old people. As for whether they should subsidize the elder brother's family or keep They don't care about the use of it, but they still have money in their pockets. Seeing the faces of the big family as if they were interrogating, even Dashan was chilled. Do you want to get involved or do you want to help everyone set up a new stove and go to the county to open a business shop
Dashan's temperament is the kind of person who doesn't want to say anything and no one wants to knock his mouth open. When Dashan's parents see him commit left temper again, they can't do anything about him. How can their own son have a temper? Yes, and after marrying his elder brother, his heart turned away, and he all went to his elder brother's side, forgetting about his parents and elder brother, and not thinking about who brought him up.
Dashan's parents think it's not good for Dashan and them to leave their hearts because of Zhang Xiu, and they don't even think about whether their own actions are wrong. Perhaps many parents think that the child was born by themselves, You can treat them however you want, but as a child, you can only suffer without objection, otherwise it is unfilial.
"Mom and Dad, I will leave the rest of the money for the two children to study, and you don't even want to help the elder brother's family dig out the money. I will not miss those who should honor you in the future. No matter how much you have It's over." The words were very straightforward, leaving five liang of silver and Dashan to pull Zhang Xiu, and then went out, no matter how many people shouted in the room, he would not turn back.
"Does this Dashan treat his eldest brother as his own family? If there is a business, can't my family do it together?" Dashan's brother was still muttering in the room after they left, but in a blink of an eye he saw that the silver eyes on the table were hot again. Encouraging the old couple to spend the money on his kid, even a kid as big as Da Mao went to school, why should his kid lag behind, he wouldn't think his own kids were worse than others.
"Yeah, I think Da Shan now regards Boy Feng and the others as his brother." Da Shan's eldest brother also said sullenly.
But no matter how noisy the eldest brother's family was, Dashan never said a word in front of Li Feng. Zhang Xiu knew the temperament of the man in charge, and he never showed his troubles to Tang Chunming in front of Tang Chunming, and Zhang Xiu couldn't say anything. Could he tell Tang Chunming that Dashan's elder brother has entered into the business of opening an ice shop in the city? At the beginning, Brother Ming trusted them to reveal the prescription without any concealment. If they told others about the prescription in private, they would be ashamed.
But Zhang Xiu is not the kind of person who will keep quiet after giving money. After a few days, before Brother Dashan's family said their unfilial words outside, all the members of the Li family knew that Dashan had given money to the old man in private. The matter of two five taels of silver made the elder brother's family, who originally wanted to make up his mind, feel sulking. Of course, Shen Fulang, who knew about this, helped deliver the message outside. Of course, he couldn't watch someone hold back the Dashan family.
When the matter of buying wheat seeds happened later, Zhang Xiu didn't even show her face there. But Tang Chunming knew about this. Brother Dashan wanted to get wheat seeds for free, but in the end Dashan forced them to pay for the seeds of one mu of land. If you go out, there will be no more.
"They're too embarrassed to open their mouths," Zhang Xiu said angrily to Tang Chunming, "It's a dream to want us to give them the seeds for nothing." What they didn't have the nerve to tell Brother Ming was that the family took it for granted They thought they got the seeds for nothing from Brother Ming, and thought that others who were used to taking advantage of themselves would be like their family, and Zhang Xiu and Dashan became more vigilant when they saw the appearance of the elder brother's house, but they must not give birth to the eldest brother. I have the same thoughts as my family, so the money that should be given must be given.
"Fortunately, Dashan knows what is good and bad, so there is no need for you to be so angry." Tang Chunming persuaded, Dashan did a good job in this aspect, unlike the previous Dahu, if he had the temperament of Dahu, Tang Chunming would not do anything Things are all tied to their family, no matter how good they are with Zhang Xiu, they have to find a way to distance themselves.
"Yeah, fortunately, Dashan knows what to listen to and what not to listen to." Zhang Xiu also smiled. There is nothing to worry about, but the key depends on the man in charge. He is actually very satisfied with marrying Dashan. of.
"Look at your proud appearance, quickly ask Dashan to take a look." Tang Chunming teased.
"Bah!" Zhang Xiu suppressed the happy expression on his face and spat at Brother Ming, before talking about something else, "You know about the Qian family, right?"
Tang Chunming was using charcoal to outline the tools for brewing wine. After the drawing was completed, Li Feng could find someone to build it. Hearing this, he stopped the pen in his hand and looked up at Zhang Xiu: "The Qian family? That's Zhang Lanhua's husband's family. Not familiar with this family, he cared less after Zhang Lanhua was divorced, and most of the outside affairs were handled by Li Feng, so he didn't bother to deal with trivial matters.
"That's right, it's their family. Qian Defu is also Zhang Lanhua's original man who is getting married again. I didn't want to tell you, but they are going to get married soon. Anyway, you will know in the future. Why don't you tell me sooner?" You, save others from running up to you and saying something."
Tang Chunming really didn't know about this, but Li Feng had heard a little about it, but he didn't tell Tang Chunming about it.
Ever since Zhang Lanhua was divorced, this man, Qian Defu, hadn't shown his face in the village. It turned out that he had gone to work outside, and he didn't even come back from the autumn harvest. , didn’t come back from outside until recently, and when he came back, he was busy with getting married, which made the villagers have more things to talk about, and it didn’t take long to inquire about that brother’s affairs clearly, really I don't know what to say.
Although Tang Chunming had a bad impression of that orchid, how good would it be for a person who can persuade Huang Sigou to steal from other people's houses, but he just said good things to him when he was divorced. There's nothing else, but I don't have a good impression of his original man, Qian Defu, who would have a good impression of a man who is capable of domestic violence
