The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 19

Chen Yaoguang looked at the two children, smiled, and said, "Okay, my brother is very lucky to have such a wonderful pair of children."

Lin Jiale happily accepted the compliment and said, "I often feel the same way."

In the past two months, Lin Erye, who felt that the county was down and out, was very humble. Now, Chen Yaoguang is a little bit hehe.

Greeting him to eat hot pot meal at noon, Lin Jiale drove the carriage away until he left the village, and Fang Xiaocao whispered, "Why do I think That village chief doesn't seem like a nice guy."

"Well," Lin Jiale said, "it's true that he's not a decent person, but he's not a bad person either. He's just an ordinary person who wants to gain something, climbs up when he sees a superior person, and wants to bully someone who is weak. In the officialdom, the most This kind of person is common, not threatening."

Fang Xiaocao didn't quite understand these things, and said, "He won't bully us foreigners?"

"Don't dare. When I went to add furniture to the house, my friends came over. Although I didn't tell you the details of the house, in Chen Yaoguang's eyes, he is also a man with a wrecked boat and three thousand nails. He is being polite."

The carriage walked up to the grassland outside the village, and the people sitting in the carriage felt soft. Seeing the small purple or yellow chrysanthemums dotted on the green grassland, occasionally there would be clusters of red that stood up suddenly, Lin Chunnong Feeling refreshed, he whispered to Lin Chunxing, "Brother, I like this place."

Lin Chunxing smiled and scratched her nose, "Don't worry about coming to the countryside now?"

Lin Chunnong nodded.

Hearing what her daughter and son said, Lin Jiale pointed to a low hill with lush greenery ahead, and said with a smile: "There are still small wild animals on the mountain. Dad will take you to hunt in a few days."

Fang Xiaocao didn't think about those mundane things anymore, looked up at the mountain, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said, "Our family is exactly what Tao Yuanming said, pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and see Nanshan leisurely."

Their yard is about 600 meters away from the south entrance of the village. Most of them are untended meadows full of wild flowers and grasses. Stacks of straw one by one.

The section near the door of the house is a small path filled with stones.

Lin Jiale pointed to the southeast direction from the yard with a horsewhip, and said: "There is also a distance of 500 meters to the area on the mountain. The land in the middle is the land I bought in the village. It is all wasteland, about ten acres. From now on, all the rations for our family will come from here."

"Father, do you want to farm the land yourself?" Lin Chunnong asked.

Without modern agricultural machinery, more than ten mu of land is not easy to grow.

Lin Jiale said with a smile: "Father will naturally be a farmer, but when the farming is busy, you can go to the village and hire a few people to help."

Lin Chunxing said: "It's okay, I'll think about whether I can make farm tools for two organs to save my father's labor."

Lin Jiale smiled and slapped his son's little shoulder.

At this time the carriage had arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Jiale jumped out of the carriage, first fastened the reins on the bridle to a hitch on the right side of the gate, and then let Fang Xiaocao, mother and son get down.

Taking out the key to open the door, Lin Jiale stood by the door, and said to the mother and son behind: "Look, how is our ancient courtyard built?"

Because they lived in the village, the family didn't design the yard too complicatedly. There was a front yard and a back yard. There were only three tile-roofed houses in the front yard, facing the courtyard gate side by side, and the three tile-roofed houses were built side by side.

The east and west sides are the most common thatched-roof bungalows in the village. There are two rooms on one side, and the two rooms on the east side are for Fang Xiaocao. There are two rooms, the one near the courtyard door is the kitchen, and the one inside is the utility room.

Between the main house and the courtyard wall, there is an oval-shaped flower bed built with leftover gray bricks. Now there is only one tree planted in it. It is a persimmon bought by Lin Chunnong and his mother at the market in the town a few days ago. Tree.

The tree seller was an old man with a gray beard, and it cost five cents a tree. He said that it was a two-year-old fruit tree, and it would bear fruit in the same year it was planted.

Lin Jiale took his family to look at the well on the left front of the utility room. Their home was far away from the village, and they discussed digging a well alone from the beginning.

The top of the well is lined with neat stones, and three or four large bluestones are paved on the edge. The windlass and small buckets for fetching water have been placed there and can be used at any time.
