Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 247 Chapter 247
In addition to Xiaocao and her parents, there was an older child and a younger child who was held in Xiaocao's father's arms.

They are Xiaocao's older brother and younger brother. The younger brother is only one year old and can't walk very well, so he is always hugged by his parents when he goes out, and he also takes him with him when he goes out to work.

Because there is only one daughter in the family, Xiaocao's life in the village is not bad, which is why, compared with most people, Xiaocao is more lively and cheerful.

The two little sisters who had just played together led the way chattering, and the others followed behind, greeting each other and getting to know each other.

Xiaocao's parents are very common peasants. Years of hard work have bent them down; the wind and rain have left marks on their faces and hands.

But the Jianghu Erniang, who also do farm work, is completely different.

The husband has wheat-colored skin, is tall and strong, full of energy, and looks like a big guy, not a father of four children.

The wife is fair and slim, with a quiet temperament. If you don't know it, you think she is the wife of a rich family. She doesn't look like someone who does farm work at home every day.

The couple are a few years older than Xiaocao's parents, but they look much younger.

Even when they first met, Xiaocao's parents were a little cautious when they spoke, as if they were afraid of offending Jiang and Hu Erniang.

Fortunately, Jiang Hu and Er Niang, although they don't usually like to be lively, they are not that kind of cold people, they are both very honest, and after a while, the adults became familiar with each other.

Er Niang asked Xiao Cao Niang about raising pigs, and even directly agreed verbally that when the next litter of piglets was born, all the sows would be kept for her.

"Sister-in-law, you have to raise so many pigs."

The little grass girl was very surprised, there were at least seven or eight piglets in this litter, right?Among them, three or four gilts are also normal. Is it really necessary to raise so many sows?
Erniang smiled: "I'm going to raise more. By the way, Miss Chunhua, our family will build a new shed for raising pigs in a few days. We may find someone to do the work. Do you know anyone in the village who wants to work? Pay the wages." of."

Chunhua, Xiaocao's mother, her father's name is Zhang Yuan.

Chunhua's first reaction was: "I need to work. What do you think of my Zhang Yuan? I have helped others build houses before, and my skills are very good."

These days, it is not easy to find some work. You can find moving things in the city, but it costs money to go to the city, and you may not be able to find goods every time.

Moreover, those coolies in the city all have their own foremen, and the foremen have channels to receive work. Only occasionally when there are too many jobs and there are not enough people under their hands, they will use outsiders.

So unless someone else comes to look for it, under normal circumstances, it is not easy for outsiders to find work by themselves.

So when Chunhua heard that Erniang said that she wanted to build a pigsty, she instantly forgot that the other party had to raise a lot of pigs, and it was more important to work for men!

Even for the sake of the people in the village, if you charge less, you can still earn twenty copper coins a day!

To build a pigsty, you have to dig a cesspit. If you find three or four people, you can do it for six or seven days. That's more than 100 copper coins!

But Er Niang didn't agree, but turned to look at Jiang Hu instead.

"Brother Tiger?"

The four of them were not far apart, just the distance between the front and back feet, the conversation between the two mothers was naturally heard by the two behind.

Seeing Erniang asking himself, Jiang Hu laughed a few times.

"Brother Zhang is a good hand at work at first glance. When we confirm the date, I will let you know. Brother Zhang can also introduce us to some more good hands at work."

Uncle Liu is specialized in this line of work, and has a lot of workers under him. As long as he says a word, many people can come to work the next day.

And Uncle Liu also had this kindness, saying that he could find someone for them.

However, Jiang Hu declined. There is no technical content in the work of building a pigsty. As long as he has enough time, he can complete it by himself.

However, this is a good opportunity to get closer to the villagers of Xiangmu Village.

They have been in the village for a long time, because they live at the entrance of the village and live in such a big house, so after so long, only the village head knows their family.

That was the first day they came, and Qixi took Jiang Hu to identify the door, saying that they would also be from Xiangmu Village in the future.

After that, their family had no interaction with other people in the village.

When looking for someone to work, communication is a must, so naturally I got to know the people in the village.

Although their husband and wife are relatively slow, and they don't like to join in the fun, it doesn't mean they have to draw a line with Xiangmu Village.

That's why Erniang said what she said specifically, she just wanted to take this opportunity to let Zhang Yuan and Chunhua couple help spread the news.

Zhang Yuan was really happy when he heard that, even Wei Wei's back straightened a lot.

"Okay, okay, the village has been busy recently, and many people are free. Brother Jiang, when you have time to go to the village, I will introduce you to some hard-working and practical people."

Building a pigsty is also a ground-breaking process. Of course, it doesn't mean that it can be started immediately after the construction is started. It must first find someone to watch the day.

This matter seems to be settled so simply.

Zhang Yuan is indeed a sincere person, as can be seen through simple communication, which is why Jiang Hu said that.

But these days, there are not so many cunning people, especially those who beg for food in the fields. A morsel of food is not dug out with a hoe. If you don't work honestly, how can you support your family.

After turning over the hillside, Jiang Hu Erniang was also shocked by the large sea of ​​bamboo. This is the first time she has seen a bamboo forest with an area of ​​at least two mu!

Xiaomi cheered, followed the grass and rushed down. As soon as he entered the bamboo forest, all the heat was blocked, and he was very cool.

Today, everyone is not too far apart. While digging bamboo shoots, they can also chat. Several people are familiar with each other, and they are also curious about where the Jiang family moved here.

Not long after, people came to dig bamboo shoots intermittently. Xiaocao was right. In the past few days, many adults and children would come to dig bamboo shoots.

Xiaocao also said that they would not have made it so early in the first place, because they knew she had an appointment with Xiaomi, so their family deliberately moved ahead for a while instead of going with the rest of the group.
After discovering Xiaomi and Xiaocao, other children came over, mainly the ones they met yesterday, and some even took their younger siblings with them.

In such a short while, Xiaomi was introduced to many friends again, dazzled, and didn't remember a single name.

Only then did she realize that there are too many children in this village, there are more than a dozen of her age, let alone older and younger ones, there are many more.

As a result, Xiaomi has to be shocked by the fertility of human beings. There are not many residents in the village, but there are so many children!
These days there is no concept of an only child. No matter who it is, they think of having more children and more blessings. More people want to have more sons, and there are seven or eight children in succession.

Of course, it is rare to have seven or eight children, but it is normal for a couple to have three or four children.

Just like Xiaomi's family, four siblings, if Erniang is pregnant again, they will still have children.

But I don't know if it was too much suffering when giving birth to twins, Xiaomi Jiang Wei is seven years old, and the second mother has not moved.

About this matter, Aunt Yang secretly asked Erniang before, asking her if her relationship with Jiang Hu was good, why Xiaomi was so big, and her stomach didn't move.

In everyone's mind, as long as the children are not starved to death and can be brought up, they can be born vigorously. Having more children means more blessings. If you have more children, or more sons, you will enjoy happiness when you are old.

What's more, the conditions of the Jiang family are so good that even the adopted son Wei Ziang picked up can be sent to school, so it shouldn't be a problem to raise a few more children.

Well, this is what Aunt Yang thinks, and what most people think.

But Jiang Hu and Er Niang didn't care about it themselves. They now have four children, two sons and two daughters, and they are very obedient and sensible. They are already much happier than most people.

But Xiaomi didn't know about these things. She had been saying hello to a bunch of kids all afternoon, and she was so overwhelmed that she couldn't figure it out. Why do little kids like to come to her?

Until later, I vaguely heard a child who had gone away say something to the people around him: "She didn't give it to me."

Xiaomi froze for a moment, then shook his head dumbfounded.

Do you think that if you know her, you can eat beef cubes?

This is those people who ate beef cubes yesterday. They went back and told other people, and they thought they knew her, so she would give it to them, right?
Xiaomi pursed her mouth, and then sighed. In this day and age, it is so difficult to fill the stomach, let alone buy snacks for the children. No wonder everyone is greedy.

But the emotion is emotion, beef cubes or something, let’s talk about it when I have a chance, she doesn’t want others to think that she is being taken advantage of, and she can produce a lot of delicious food every day.

"Look, Xiaomi, this bamboo shoot is so big, it's the biggest bamboo shoot I've ever seen!"

Xiaocao called her in surprise, Xiaomi came back to his senses, and trotted over.

"Wow, it's really big! Dig it out!"

The two of them worked together, and the more they worked, the more vigorous they became. When they dug it out, they would find the next largest bamboo shoot together, and then each of them would do it one by one.

In the afternoon, the two little girls didn't dig too many bamboo shoots, but the chirping and screaming didn't stop.

Occasionally, Xiaocao's friends came to look for her, but after playing with them for a while, they failed to dig bamboo shoots, so they were called back by their elders, telling them to dig bamboo shoots quickly.

Fortunately, Xiaocao's parents didn't care about her and let her and Xiaomi wander around in the bamboo forest.

There are many ways to eat spring bamboo shoots, such as vegetarian frying, stewing meat, making sour bamboo shoots, and most importantly, they can be stored for a long time after drying.

After these bamboo shoots were processed, they were all replaced by Xiaomi with those in the space.

I have to say that the bamboo sea looks really good, almost as big as the bamboo shoots in the space.

Fortunately, it was already night after peeling the shells. When parents were boiling water and preparing to cook bamboo shoots, they secretly replaced them, so it was not easy to be discovered.

Millet has planted bamboo in the space a few years ago, and the bamboo shoots are often dug up. Most of the food we eat at home is actually in the space.

As for the things at home, she brought them into the space and left them alone.

As for why there is so much food in the space, Xiaomi didn't think of it. Anyway, let's put it away first, and it won't spoil.

Because the bamboo shoots are delicious, I specially sent some to Liu Ze's parents, some were freshly processed, and some were specially dried.

Mrs. Liu returned several boxes of exquisite snacks as soon as she changed hands.

Although the two families haven't seen each other much since the last time, they still come and go.

Just like this pastry, Uncle Liu didn't like it, and Liu Ze couldn't eat it. In fact, it was specially prepared for the Jiang family's children.

Not only that, but also specially sent a piece of floral cloth, which is said to be the favorite color of the girls in the city, and asked Er Niang to make skirts for Xiaoxue and Xiaomi.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the bamboo shoots were gone within a few days of digging, and those who didn't have time, in just one or two days, they were all raised one after another.

Xiaomi and Xiaocao have also become good friends, the kind who can find each other to play with.

Zhang Yuanchun and his wife didn't stop him. In Xiaocao's own words, this is too rare. In the past, she would be reprimanded if she played outside for a long time.

But Xiaocao is also happy to be able to play with new friends. She likes to drag Xiaomi around the village when she has nothing to do, and also meets many other little sisters.

Unfortunately, not everyone can play with them like Xiaocao.

Xiaomi understood a little bit in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

At this time, Uncle Liu also helped Jiang Hu choose a good day to break ground, as long as he finds a good person, he can start working.

Before that, Jiang Hu had to go to the village chief, tell him about this matter, and ask Zhang Yuan to introduce the person he said could work.

The village head's family is located in the village. Although he is the village head, the family is not different from others because of this position.

The mud house is the same as Zhang Yuan's house, but it is much better than most people, at least it is built with tiles instead of thatch.

"Brother Jiang is here, is it because of the building of the pigsty? It has been spread all over the village in the past few days."

The village chief was chopping pigweed, but when he saw Jiang Hu and Zhang Yuan coming together, he immediately understood what was going on.

She clapped her hands and stood up, shouting into the room: "Ma'am, a guest is here, pour out two bowls of water."

Jiang Hu quickly waved his hand: "You're welcome, the village chief. I really came here to build a pigsty. I don't think anyone wants that piece of wasteland, so I want to buy it all."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and even Zhang Yuan who brought him here was taken aback.

"Brother Jiang? Did you buy such a big piece? Are you busy?"

What Jiang Hu was talking about was that on the other side of his pond, there was a large piece of wasteland that hadn't been cultivated for at least ten years.

And the area is not small, more than ten acres!
No wonder the village chief and Zhang Yuan were so surprised.

Jiang Hu smiled: "It's not small, but it's okay, I should hire someone to do the work at that time, so at least it won't be too bad."

Zhang Yuan was speechless: "Hire someone, then Brother Jiang will be a landlord in the future."

Jiang Hu waved his hand: "What kind of landlord is this? Landlords have hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and I only add up to ten or twenty acres of land."

The village chief also came back to his senses, and wanted to reprimand the young people, so that the young people should not be too ambitious and do the work at hand first.

But since the two are not familiar with each other, they just thought about it in their hearts, and didn't say it out, just said;
"I'll write you a note, you go to the city to apply for the land deed, but there is one thing you have to remember, starting from the fourth year of buying wasteland, you have to pay taxes."

The grain tax will not be waived just because the wasteland has not been developed.

"Thank you for your trouble, the village head, I understand."
