Chapter 29 Zhang Dafu's Family Planning

There are several bachelors in Zhang Dafu's family alone, how many bachelors are there in Songjiang County?Will this be a huge amount of data?can not imagine.

In the yamen, including Zhang Dafu and Wang Fugui, there are also several bachelors, alas, headaches.

Li Mo felt that the burden on her shoulders was really heavy, and she wanted to improve the economy of Songjiang County, and also wanted to help these bachelors get out of the singles. There was no county magistrate who was as worried as she was.

No matter who the parents are, they don’t want their daughters to suffer after marrying into such a family. There are many brothers, less land, and less income, especially the eldest. To suffer for many years.

Other villages sell sweet potatoes, and smart people have already gone to other towns to buy them. According to the teacher, this Zhangjia Village does not have a catty of sweet potatoes.

Not long after, Zhang Dafu came back with his parents, brothers and sisters, good guy, a family of ten, came back in a mighty way.

Zhang Dafu's parents are very cautious. When Li Mo came last time, they were one of the villagers, and they were at the end of the queue. Now they are the only family, and they feel uncoordinated.

The first reaction was to kneel and kowtow, but was stopped by Li Mo.

Zhang Dafu's parents are not very old, they are only in their early forties, but they have gray hair at the temples. Under the pressure of life, their years and temper have smoothed out. They look more like 60 years old. There are many children in the family, and none of them is married yet. Yes, it is really too shy to come up with a dowry.

Zhang Dafu's two elder brothers are quite tall, both of them have the same body shape as his father, but they are a bit dark, and the three younger brothers also have one a year, and they all look similar.

The two younger sisters are very cute, but they are malnourished and too thin.I usually have little contact with outsiders, and I am very shy when I see strangers.

Zhang Dafu's father took out the key and opened it for a while, but failed to open the door. Zhang Dafu walked over to help his father open the door, and said to him softly, "Dad, didn't I tell you just now, don't be afraid." , don’t be nervous, we adults are easy to talk to.”

The rest of the Zhang family were also at a loss, only the youngest sister stared at Li Mo curiously, blinking her eyes.

Li Mo found that she was staring at him, and smiled back at her. The little girl buried her face behind her mother, and then poked her head out again. Li Mo gave her another smile, and she buried her face behind her mother again, What a cute little guy.

Entering Zhang Dafu's house, Li Mo knew for the first time that the true portrayal of poverty is like this. The living room is also the dining room, with only ten old stools and a table for eating, plus other sundries piled up.

Zhang Dafu's family looked at Li Mo in embarrassment, afraid that she would be angry, and also afraid that she would look down on the farm family.

Li Mo didn't seem to see the poverty at home, but smiled and said: "Don't be dumbfounded, sit down and have a good chat."

Zhang Dafu's mother hurried to boil water, and the sensible Lao Qi ran to help his mother.

Li Mo asked Zhang Dafu's father: "Uncle Zhang, how is your family's land reclamation going?"

Zhang Dafu's father was flattered by the sentence of Uncle Zhang, and he stood up and waved his hands again and again in fright: "I can't afford the sentence of Uncle Zhang, my lord is still called Caomin, Caomin Zhang Niu."

Li Mo smiled and said: "Wufang, sit down, let's talk about the situation of land reclamation."

Zhang Dafu's father is rather dull and not very good at communicating. In the end, Zhang Dafu's second brother answered the question on his behalf. They all said that the second child is smarter than the eldest. It seems that the ancients did not deceive me.

Zhang Lao Er saluted Li Mo first, and then began to talk about the family situation. Although the family was poor, they taught the children very well.

There are too many people in the Zhang family who can work, so land reclamation is much faster than other families. Now they have reclaimed [-] acres of mountain land, and they are worried. They don’t know what to plant. There are no instructions from the village or the county, only to encourage land reclamation , Now that land reclamation has come out, and I don’t know what to plant. Zhang Dafu’s mother advocates planting sweet potatoes, but this season is not suitable for planting, and these mountainous areas are not suitable for planting sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes grown are prone to worms. In fact, the most important thing is that there is no money. buy seeds.

The current labor force of the Zhang family is sufficient, but they don't know what to do, and they honestly circle around a few acres of fields every day.

The family only has four acres of paddy fields, and there is not much left except for paying taxes. The family lives so tightly and dare not get sick. Once sick, the already poor family really can't afford it.

Li Mo also blamed himself for neglecting his duty. At the beginning, he kept encouraging everyone to open up wasteland, without considering the actual situation, thinking that they would grow whatever they wanted.

At this time, Zhang Dafu's mother had already boiled water, took the best bowl, and poured a bowl of boiling water for Li Mo, there was no tea, it was just plain water, and only rich people could afford to drink tea.

Li Mo: "You open up wasteland first, don't worry about what to plant, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the hardships and don't want to plant."

Boss Zhang hastily expressed his opinion: "My lord, we are not afraid of hardship. Just tell us what you want to plant."

Li Mo: "Don't worry, it's going to take a month or two, first discuss it with the village chief before making a decision, then the county government will distribute the seeds uniformly, and you will pay back when you earn money."

With Li Mo's guarantee, everyone is relieved, Zhang's family: "Thank you, sir."

Li Mo asked Zhang Dafu's mother: "Aunt Zhang, can you make zongzi?"

Aunt Zhang was surprised: "What are zongzi?"

Li Mo went to Songjiang County and the provincial capital, and found that there were no zongzi for sale. He thought it was because of the season, but he didn't expect that no one made zongzi.

Li Mo patiently explained: "It is to wrap the glutinous rice and meat with zong leaves, cook it and eat it, and wrap it with zong leaves."

Zhang Dafu asked the question in his heart: "My lord, what is Zongye?"

Li Mo: "What is a Zongye? How should I put it? It is so big and shaped like this. How about it? Take me around and see if I can find it."

Li Mo couldn't even make gestures, so he simply asked them to take her to find them.Logically speaking, zong leaves are found in many places. Even if there are no zong leaves, there are banana leaves. The big deal is not to make zongzi, but to make glutinous rice cakes instead.

Everyone didn't know what Li Mo was going to do, but it was Li Mo's suggestion, and they didn't dare to object.

Zhang Dafu and his brothers took Li Mo to the back mountain. The eighth brother thought it was fun, so he wanted to follow along. The seventh child might be a little older, so he was embarrassed to follow, and helped his mother with housework at home.

In the back mountain, instead of Zongye, a large number of hawthorn trees were found.

Li Mo drooled as he looked at the hawthorn on the tree. He missed the candied haws so much. It tasted sour and sweet. . . .

Seeing Li Mo like this, Zhang Laoer thought that Li Mo wanted to eat, and immediately ran up to the tree like a monkey, picked several and handed them to Li Mo: "My lord, here you are."

Li Mo was a little embarrassed, did she act so obviously?

Lao Ba looked at Li Mo and said with a sticky voice: "Master, this is not delicious, it is so sour, I have eaten it before, and it feels like my teeth are going to be sour."

Li Mo deliberately teased her: "Then do you believe that I can make it sour?"

The old man tilted his head and thought about it seriously for a while, and said like a little adult: "I don't believe it, even if you are an adult, you can't lie to a child."

Boss Zhang was taken aback and covered her mouth. This younger sister really dared to say anything, "My lord, I'm sorry, my younger sister is still young, and she speaks like a child."

Li Mo looked at it speechlessly, is this considered a crime?
Ask Zhang Laoer to pick more and go home. Without a basket, Zhang Laoer simply took off his coat and wrapped it in clothes.

Finally, at the foot of the mountain near the water source, I found zong leaves, which are big ones, not small ones. No matter how many there are, just zong leaves will do.

The Zhang family brothers: "Sir, is this the Zongye? I saw a lot of them in other places, but no one used them. They were chopped down as weeds.

Li Mo:. . . .

Well, those who don't know are not guilty.

I cut more than a dozen pieces and went back, and asked them to protect the base of these zong leaves. In the future, their business will depend on these zong leaves.

Also cut a few banana leaves.

Li Mo quietly gave Zhang Dafu 20 taels of silver, but Zhang Dafu refused to accept it.

Li Mo: "This is the investment cost for you. Remember to return it to me when you make money in the future. I will teach you how to make some snacks in a while, and then sell them in the county town, so as to subsidize the family."

Li Mo said so, Zhang Dafu didn't dare not accept it, he had to invest if he wanted to do business, without capital, everything was just wishful thinking.

Li Mo: "Are there any butchers in the village?"

Zhang Dafu: "I don't know, I want to ask my brother."

Boss Zhang: "No, if you want to buy it, go to the county town."

Li Mo: "That's fine."
