Yipin Qiao Nongfei

Chapter 33

"Uncle Six, I want to ask you for a piece of land."

Su Mingjiang stared "viciously" at the grandniece in front of him who was pouring tea for him: "You exchanged all my wine for tea, and you still want a piece of land with me?"

"So what? My tea is not cheap. It costs two hundred Wen a catty. I bought it specially to honor you. Others in our family want to drink it. Do you think I can buy it for them?"

"Hehe!" Su Mingjiang took the tea and rolled his eyes: "Tell me, which piece of land do you want? What will you use it for?"

"In the beginning, I didn't dare to ask for more, just ten acres. I've already chosen the location, which is the one on the west side of the Biliu River, less than two miles away from our house. It's convenient, and it's a piece of fertile land. Exactly ten acres, Sixth Uncle, you can give it to me, and I will use it to grow beets."

"You want to grow beets?" Su Mingjiang took a sip of tea and stared at Su Wanqiu: "Don't look at the chard that grows a lot in the mountains, but it may not be able to grow well when it is actually planted. Look at us from the Great Xia Dynasty. From south to north, from east to west, how vast is the land? How many flowers and plants are there? But in the end, there are only a few dozens of species that can be used for life. If you come out, this piece of land will be wasted for a year."

"So what? If it is planted, the ten acres of land will be worth the income of our fifty acres of land selling grain. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if we really can't grow it, the money earned by digging vegetables these days for the public , is it not worth the harvest of ten mu of land?"

Su Mingjiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Where do the seeds come from?"

"Before I collected while digging vegetables, I have already collected several catties. I have to say that we have quite a lot of beets here."

"Ten mu of land for a few catties of seeds? Isn't that a bit of a waste? Can't these beet seeds be planted too densely?"

"Not really. I want two acres of beetroot and eight acres of soybeans."

"Soybeans? How did you think of planting this?" Su Mingjiang was really surprised this time, and then touched his chin and said: "The yield of soybeans is too low, and you pick some and I pick some, and there is nothing left in the end. There are very few people around.”

"However, if soybeans are planted well, they are very economical crops. Plant beets and soybeans together, and when they are about to ripen, we will build a shack on the ground and ask my brother to invite some reliable friends and dogs to bring them People and dogs can buy some snack bones, and each send some money to keep most of them, and save my brother from wandering around, isn't this the best use of people?"

Su Mingjiang couldn't help laughing: "You are very shrewd in your calculations. Anyway, I will give you ten acres of land. Three girls, I can tell you that this is the best ten acres of land in our family. You have to cultivate it carefully." Reason, at the very least, we must grow the money we earn from food, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, he sighed, and said softly: "You are well aware of our family's situation. Dafang has always held a grudge against you. Although Sanfang is on your side, once the ten mu of land is lost, you Looking at them again, it's not what they are today. I mean, do you understand?"

"Understood. Don't worry, Sixth Uncle." Su Wanqiu stood up and smiled mysteriously at him: "Leave it all to me. I will not disappoint your expectations."

They have confided their hearts to this extent, and the words also show that this sixth uncle supports her in running the family. With such a big backer, Su Wanqiu only feels motivated all over.

After coming out of the upper room, she couldn't help but look back again. Naturally, she couldn't see anything, but what appeared in her mind was the image of the sixth uncle drinking tea leisurely.

It doesn't need anything else, just seeing that the sixth uncle doesn't care about his own daughter as the head of the family, it's very human.If he was in the capital, or a big city like Suzhou and Hangzhou, this man would definitely be able to achieve a great career, but unfortunately, he is only in his early forties, and he no longer thinks about making progress. He would rather stay in such a village.

Su Wanqiu feels sorry for Su Mingjiang, but then he thinks: Zi Feiyu knows the joy of fish?The Sixth Uncle has such a contented and happy temperament, and the leisurely life of his childhood seems to be quite good.

As soon as I thought about it, the regret disappeared.She stretched her arms, put her hand to her mouth and shouted loudly: "Let's go, go digging beets. On the last day of today, we will finish digging our mountain, and there will be deep mountains and old forests in the distance, so we won't go there."

Following her shout, the whole family came out draggingly, looking uninspired.

That’s right, digging vegetables for an hour may be quite interesting, but digging for a day is as labor-intensive as farming. Even after digging for a few days, these people didn’t get tired, which is the result of being used to hard work.

The bright red sun was halfway through the sky, and before you knew it, it was mid-afternoon, Su Wanqiu straightened up, piled the wicker baskets in his hand on the car, looked back at the exhausted family, and waved his little hand: " Alright. I declare that the battle of beets is over, and when Minger sells the beets for money, everyone can officially enter the days of Maodong, sleep until they wake up naturally, and eat until their stomachs are full."

Finally, these words made everyone feel refreshed. Su Yifeng spit on his hand, shook his head and murmured: "Three girl, you just know how to talk, and what you say is so touching that even my third uncle fell in love with you. In fact, thinking about it Think, you really treat us like mules these days."

Su Wanqiu said with a smile: "Third uncle, if you don't become a mule, how can you get back so much money from the public? Besides, everyone is the same, I am also a member of the mule. Except for the eldest brother and the third brother who need to go to school, look, even the youngest My naughty second brother keeps me caught without a day off."

"In this respect, you are indeed this." Su Yifeng stretched out his thumb: "It's ruthless, it's really ruthless. Forget it, after working hard for the past few days, I will have to live as a master in the next winter." On the days when you eat delicious food and drink spicy food, what else are you talking about? Sleep until you wake up naturally..."

"Stop rambling, let's go, you old man, I haven't even thought about being a master, you are dreaming."

Su Mingliang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, yelled impatiently, causing Su Yifeng to stick out his tongue in fright. Together with Su Yishui and Su Yishan, three big men pushed three wheelbarrows and strode home.

Seeing the whole family walking away happily talking and laughing, Su Wanqiu beat his arms and legs and gradually fell behind.It was Su Wandong and Su Wanxia who were careful and stayed by her side, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Can't you walk anymore?"

"No, it's just a sudden relaxation of mind. Speaking of which, after digging for vegetables for many days, I didn't notice that the autumn colors are getting darker."

"It's not deep, it looks like winter is coming." Su Wanxia smiled: "It hasn't rained for nearly a month, otherwise there will be an autumn rain and a cold, and the leaves will all fall by now."

"Yeah, it's a pity." Su Wanqiu also felt regretful, if it rained a few days ago, there should be the last crop of mushrooms, but now this solar term, don't worry about it.

While talking, the sisters slowly admired the autumn scenery around them. They entered the village after everyone else had arrived home.

There was a sound of horseshoes on the official road in the distance, and the three sisters turned their heads to look, only to see five or six horses galloping like flying, raising a puff of smoke.

Su Wandong's starry eyes: "Wow! That's amazing!"

Su Wanxia murmured, "It should be those rich and noble men in the city, right? We haven't seen such battles a few times in the past year."

Only Su Wanqiu was sober-minded, looking at the horses, he sighed: "These horses are running like thunder, and their momentum is like a rainbow. They are definitely worth a lot of money."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a yin and yang voice behind me: Yo!Isn't this the tigress of the Su family? "
