Jiaohu

Chapter 39 Fool
Zhao Huniu stood under the eaves and raised her hand,
A drop of water landed on her palm.

The winter snow has thawed, and it has been very cold recently; but when the snow melts into the land, it will make the land more fertile.

Zhao Huniu intends to go to her own field to have a look and look through it by the way.

It stands to reason that the villagers will have to wait a few more days until the snow has completely melted and the weather is warmer before they come out to plow the ground.
But Zhao Huniu is not so afraid of the cold,

And after staying at home for almost two months, she also wanted to go out for a walk to relax.

Walking on the road with a hoe on my shoulders, I can smell the cool wind with the smell of melting snow in my nose,

Maybe others will feel a little cold, but for Zhao Huniu, it is the most refreshing.

Walking along the path to the edge of the village, after a while, you can see the fields of Zhao Huniu's family.
On the ground, which is almost black in brown, there are still piles of remaining snow that has not been completely melted in several places. Against the background of the soil, it looks more and more crystal clear, like water spirits scattered in the field.
Zhao Huniu's nose twitched slightly,

It seems that the land is gradually waking up after sleeping for a whole winter.

The field of Zhao Huniu's house is not big, so it is not too difficult for her to find it by herself.

Holding the hoe in her hand, Zhao Huniu dug the soil piece by piece along the furrows, turning the whole field carefully, without missing a single place.

The snow melted and seeped into the ground, even the loamy soil underneath was soaked in brown snow,

It seems to symbolize plumpness.

Last year, Zhao Huniu’s land didn’t grow much.
Of course, the main reason is Zhao Erdan's trouble,
However, Zhao Huniu still did not harvest all the crops, but left half of the crops in the field and turned them in.
Let them re-fertilize and nourish the land on which they grow.

It took Zhao Huniu less than half a day to turn over the fields.
She stood by the field with a hoe, looking at the fruits of her efforts,
the breeze blows,

Bring a little coolness.

In fact, if the fields are larger and more crops can be grown and sold, they may be able to sell for more money.

But with such a size of land, the food grown may only be enough for an ordinary father and daughter for a year.

Zhao Huniu can eat better than ordinary boys,

What can be grown in this small field is really not enough for their father and daughter to eat.

Therefore, for Zhao Huniu, it is definitely not cost-effective to spend most of the time on farming; but it is absolutely impossible to call this field so deserted.

Maybe find some other way,

Can achieve the best of both worlds?

Just as Zhao Huniu was thinking, a voice sounded from behind her:
"Sister, are you standing here waiting for the bird to land?"

Zhao Huniu turned around,

Seeing Fool Zhao standing behind him, he smiled foolishly.

"Ok?"

Fool Zhao usually lives in a dilapidated house outside the village, and the field from Zhao Huniu’s house needs to span the entire village; she has never seen fool Zhao outside the rapeseed field at the head of the village.
Seeing him appearing here, Zhao Huniu was quite surprised.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhao Huniu asked.Hearing Zhao Huniu ask Fool Zhao raised his hand and stretched out his thumb, pointing at himself and blinking his round eyes,

"I'm here to dig the ground."

"Turn the ground?"

Zhao Huniu frowned upon hearing this.

Where does Fool Zhao have land?
He was the only one left in his family. Maybe his family used to have a field here.
But now, it has long been taken back by the village chief.

Hearing Fool Zhao said that he came to dig the ground, Zhao Huniu asked in amazement:

"Who told you to dig the ground?"

"No one.

My mother always told me that when the snow in the village thawed, we would come to plow the ground.Only when the land is dug up at this time can delicious sweet potatoes be grown in the field next year. "

Zhao Huniu suddenly realized.

It turned out that Fool Zhao still remembered what his mother told him when he was a child—his mother had already run away with other men,

Whether he is still alive or not in this world is an unknown thing.

But Fool Zhao still remembered this matter,
Remember what his mother told him about digging the fields.

In fact, Fool Zhao also came back to plow the ground in previous years.
But because his family's field was taken back and divided by the village head and distributed to other villagers in the village,

In addition, Fool Zhao is a fool after all, and he can't remember where his field is at all.
So every year, he randomly picks a family's field and helps them plow it.In Fool Zhao's heart, this land belongs to their family.

He has completed what his mother told him.

But the villager received such kindness in vain, secretly delighted in his heart,
But he wouldn't feel any gratitude towards Fool Zhao.

After coming and going, every household knows that Fool Zhao will randomly select a family to help his family dig the land in spring,
Every family is secretly looking forward to,

I hope this fool can work as a labor force for his family for free this year.

Fool Zhao came earlier this year,
He couldn't tell what meant the snow had melted clean and what meant it hadn't melted clean. He just watched the vast whiteness that had spread between the sky and the earth disappear.

I thought it was time to dig the ground.

Picking up the rotten hoe beside the dilapidated house, Fool Zhao staggered towards the end of the village,
Just happened to meet Zhao Huniu.

Looking at him like this, Zhao Huniu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Do you know which piece of your field is?"

"Well……"

Fool Zhao was asked by Zhao Huniu, and he looked over,

After looking around for a while, I shook my head in bewilderment,
"My home is not here."

"Is it,
Then you know how to turn the ground? "

"Know wow,"

He jumped off the ridge of the field and landed in the field of Zhao Huniu's house.
Wielding the rotten hoe on his shoulder,

Before Zhao Huniu could stop her, she swung the hoe into the ground.

Zhao Huniu just stretched out her hand to stop her, but she stopped after seeing Fool Zhao's next move.

Fool Zhao's movements were unexpectedly clean and skillful,

It's completely different from his usual silly and silly appearance,
The hoe in his hand is still tattered, if he was allowed to use a handy tool, he might be able to do better.

It is also inevitable to think about it.

After all, if Fool Zhao just fooled around in the fields, the villagers would definitely stop him from raking about his own land.

But it is precisely because Fool Zhao's ability to turn the ground is the same as that of ordinary people,

even better than some,
That's why there are so many people waiting to take advantage of him.

Realizing this, Zhao Huniu suddenly had a flash of light in his mind,
She immediately stopped Fool Zhao,
"You wait first,"

Fool Zhao stopped the hoe in his hand, raised his head and looked at Zhao Huniu suspiciously,

Zhao Huniu also looked at him, raised her eyebrows slightly,

"I have something to tell you."
