Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 127

It didn't take long for Zhuifeng to follow the old man Xu to hoe, and Lao Huang and the others woke up. They were very embarrassed, and hurried to help in the field. Did not scold.

Busy until dawn, the grass in the two fields was finally hoeed, and the girl in the house ran out and shouted: "Grandfather, it's time to eat." Seeing that there were still a few people in the field, the girl opened her mouth, but said nothing, and went ran back.

Old man Xu stretched his waist and stood up, with a pained expression on his face, obviously tired.While staggering back, he said:

"It's dawn, everyone, please go down the mountain. My granddaughter only cooked my grandpa and grandson's food. I'm not polite to the old man, and I won't keep you for dinner."

Lao Huang and the others couldn't help muttering, "I've been busy all morning, and I didn't even give my saliva."

Chasing the wind signaled them to hold back first, and then followed the old man Xu with a smile, "Old man, you are really tired from planting so many lands by yourself, and you are keeping those medicine seeds, so you might as well sell them to me.

I really need these medicine seeds. The tenants rely on the land for food. This year, the weather is so dry that the crops in the field are not enough to support themselves.

It's not bad now, I'm eating surplus grain from last year, but when the surplus grain is eaten up during the autumn harvest, if there is no silver grain to protect the mouth, then a large number of people will starve in the coming year. "

The old man Xu chuckled: "Boss is very virtuous, old man, I am not as noble as you, and if I don't understand these things, it has nothing to do with me."

"Old man." Zhuifeng followed into the hospital, "What do you need to sell me the medicine seeds?"

"I still have ten acres of medicinal fields. If you have nothing to do, go and help me weed out the weeds in that field." Old man Xu said casually.

Hearing this, Zhu Feng quickly responded, happily ran to Lao Huang and the others to weed.

More than ten mu of land is a lot, but it is not that difficult for the six strong people. Zhufeng and the others worked until noon, ate dry food hastily, and continued to work until the afternoon. The fields were hoed clean.

The six of them were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists. They sat on the shaded field ridge to rest and chatted by the way.

"If the old man is sensible, we should be able to go to Baojia Village tonight. The people in Wangjiawan say that there are also Yaonong there."

"Speaking of which, it's not easy for the old man to plant so much land by himself. My family of five only planted about ten acres, and he did the work of my family by himself. How did he do it?"

"Growing medicinal materials is definitely not as tiring as growing crops."

Chasing the wind smiled and shook his head: "Growing medicinal materials is more tiring than growing crops. Medicinal materials need to be cultivated intensively, and they need to be cared for one by one. Weeding today, weeding tomorrow, fertilizing the next day, pruning and taking care of it, it is not so easy. .”

Lao Huang wiped the sweat off his face, "It doesn't matter if you are tired, as long as you have money to earn, I will do it no matter how tired you are."

A group of people laughed, and someone joked: "Old Huang must be dreaming of making a fortune now. Among us, your family has the most tenants. I only have five acres of land. You can at least half as much as me."

Hearing the heated discussion among several people, Zhuifeng stood up and said, "You guys rest, I'll go see the old man."

"I'll go too. Boss, you see people are kind and easy to bully, so don't be sure to bully you." Wu Da stood up in a strong body.

Zhufeng turned around and asked Wu Da to follow.

When the two came to the front of the yard, the dog who was sleeping on his stomach got up vigorously and barked again, waking up the old man Xu who was enjoying the coolness under the house.

The old man Xu glanced at the two at the gate of the courtyard, closed his eyes and fell asleep again, shaking the cattail fan in his hand, and the rocking chair under him creaked, looking very comfortable.

Wu Da seemed very angry at the old man Xu's ignorance. They were tired all day, and the old man didn't even have a word of thanks, so he complained in a low voice: "This old man will enjoy it. We work, and he has no good words." .”

Chasing the wind signaled him to stay calm, then pushed the courtyard door and entered with a smile on his face, "Old man, the weeds in the field have been cleared."

"Well, thank you, you guys should go down the mountain before it gets dark, so you won't have to lend me haystacks again tonight." Old man Xu didn't even open his eyes, slowly waving his cattail fan.

Wu Da, who was standing behind Zhuifeng, was suddenly ignited, pointing at the old man Xu and yelling: "You old man, you don't know how to flatter, you agreed to buy our medicine seeds after weeding clean, you want to talk nothing?"

The old man Xu took a sip of cold water, unhurriedly, "When did I say that? I just saw that you are idle, so I will find something for you to do, so that you don't come to pester me."

"You." Wu was so angry that he was about to yell, but Zhufeng held him down and shook his head with sullen brows.

Wu Daqi snorted and shook his hands, "Boss Zhu, this old man just wants to bully you, and deliberately lied to you."

"Don't talk." Zhuifeng scolded for a while, then turned to the old man Xu and said, "Old man, we are all peasants, and peasants speak quickly, come and speak quickly when we have something to say, but there is no malice, please don't introduce me, old man." .”

The old man Xu chuckled, "It's useless to sing red faces to me in front of the old man. You'd better go down the mountain quickly, otherwise I won't borrow haystacks tonight."

"Are you speaking human language?" Wu Da couldn't hold back his breath, his face was flushed and he wanted to rush up again.

Zhui Feng grabbed him and frowned, "Okay, stop talking."

After holding down Wu Da, Zhuifeng said to the old man Xu: "Old man, I really need these medicines, why are you not selling them?

You have planted a lot in the field, and I don't think you want to keep it for your own planting. I haven't said the price yet, so it shouldn't be a matter of money.I really can't think of any other reason. "

Old man Xu glanced at him, "Don't be smart, there's no reason, it's just that you don't like it, and you don't want to sell it to you."

"You old man, don't be shameless." Wu Da was completely furious, rolled up his sleeves and pointed at old man Xu.

"You are shameless, you can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth." The granddaughter in the house ran out immediately after hearing the sound, angrily pointing at Wu and yelling back.

"Wu Da." Zhu Feng scolded, "You go first, I'll be back in a while."

"Boss Zhu, don't be so good-tempered. This grandpa and grandson are doing it on purpose. No wonder they want to live alone on the mountain. If they behave like this, no one dares to say a word to them."

When the granddaughter heard this, she was so angry that she grabbed the broom on the wall board and started to beat it, "Go away, we sell our own medicinal materials if you want, and if you don't sell them, do you still want to grab them?"

Zhuifeng hurriedly stood between the two of them, and comforted his granddaughter, "Don't be angry, the farmer has a straight temper." Turning around, he pushed Wu Da out of the courtyard gate.

Wu Tianran would not really beat an old man and a little girl, so he could only spit out angrily, "Bah, I don't care."

"Okay, don't talk about it." Zhuifeng pushed Wu Da out, and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "Go first, I'll be back in a while."

Wu Da didn't want to leave yet, and was pushed by Zhufeng a few times before he left cursingly.

The dog in front of the yard was barking wildly, Zhufeng took out a piece of jerky from his purse and threw it to the dog, the dog barked twice, smelling the smell of meat, he hurriedly went to get the jerky.

The granddaughter was still so angry that her chest heaved, "My grandfather will not sell it, and he still curses, and his mouth has a malignant sore."

Zhuifeng smiled and cupped his hands: "You two, don't be angry, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Old man Xu was silent for a while, then opened his eyes slightly, and looked sideways at Zhuifeng, "You have to be free again? When you are free, go and chop the firewood in the yard."
