My village can't be like this

Chapter 183 Persuasion
Wang Fang may not know that the soil quality of the nest is only average, and it is not considered a fertile land at all.

And she saw seedlings and weeds that grew very well because some people opened them.

And the culprit of everything is her precious son Zhang An.

"Then after dinner that night, I'll go find someone. Tomorrow you two will help dig the foundation for Shuanglin's house, and I'll take someone to weed."

Although Wang Fang was reluctant to spend money, the grass had grown so tall that it couldn't be done without weeding.

As a farmer who has been farming all her life, Wang Fang can't see such a situation.

Whoever saw the grass growing taller than the crops would definitely not be able to accept it.

One is that the crops are not growing well, and the second is that people will say that the family is lazy when they see it, and they plant the land like this.

So Wang Fang didn't want to let these weeds continue to grow like this.

If you don't weed, the grass can grow up and bury watermelons and strawberries in it.

At that time, watermelons and strawberries will not see the sun, and they will not say anything that will not bear fruit. They may grow and turn into seedlings.

Fortunately, she saw that the watermelons and strawberries in the field were growing well.

As long as the grass is hoeed, it should bear fruit well later.

The money spent should be able to be recovered after they bear fruit.

Moreover, a lot of money had already been spent earlier, and she also knew that she should not save this little wage.

Otherwise, the money spent earlier will be in vain.

In the evening, Zhang An's family had dinner, and the mother and son left the house one after the other.

Wang Fang went door to door looking for work, while Zhang An went to Zhou Yang's house.

Zhang An considered several arguments, and wanted to come to persuade Zhou Yang to see if he could let Zhou Yang's family build a house in another place.

Because that piece of land will definitely be flooded when it floods next year.

"Mom and Dad, Uncle An is here."

Before Zhang An entered the yard, Zhou Yang's younger sister Yanhong saw him.

"It seems that I didn't come here today by coincidence. There is only dishwater left in your house."

Entering the house, Zhang An found Mrs. Zhou was clearing the table.

It looked like the family had just finished dinner.

"It's okay. When you wash your feet on the evening of the New Year's Eve this year, you can wash your feet a little higher, and you can catch up next time you come."

The father and son greeted Zhang An to sit down, and Yanhong helped serve tea and water.

"Okay, okay, let's go play Yanhong, you are not an outsider."

Sister-in-law Zhou's tutor is really good, and the two children are quite sensible.

If it was Zhang Tie, that mischievous ghost, he would have gone out to play after dinner.

It doesn't matter whether you wash the dishes or mix coal.

Zhang An chatted with Zhou Yang for a few words, and then began to talk about business.

"Yoko, do you want to reconsider the fact that your house is built in the seedling field? I think there may be something wrong there."

Hearing what Zhang An said, Zhou Shuanglin and Zhou Yang were a little surprised.

But after Zhang An said, he still thought about what kind of problem there would be.

"Oh? Uncle, do you think that field is not suitable for building a house?"

Zhou Yang and his son thought about it for a while, but they didn't think of any problem.

"Yoko, that place is good. Not only is it big, but it's also close to the river at the entrance of the village. It's also convenient for your family to open a restaurant there."

What Zhang An said happened to be what Zhou Yang and the others considered.

"But have you ever thought about what to do if there is a flood and the water in the river turns up and floods it directly?"

"It's unlikely, uncle. There is still a big river at the entrance of our village. If there is a lot of water, such a wide river can be drained."

Zhou Yang thought about it, and felt that it was unlikely to appear.

As he grew up, he had never seen the water in the big river swell.

Even if there is a flood, there is a big river, and it will definitely not be flooded.

But Zhou Shuanglin was a little pensive, as if thinking about something.

"Then what if the river will not be able to be completely drained by the flood that rises at that time, what if it floods?"

Zhang An looked at Zhou Yang and asked back.

"You also said that it's unlikely, not that it won't happen. What if it happens once?"

What everyone thinks is impossible, but it will really happen next year.

This kind of thing rarely happens, but it is not impossible. If it happens, it is beyond the grasp of human beings.

Hearing what Zhang An said, Zhou Yang also fell into deep thought.

"Xiao Song, go and call your grandfather over."

Zhou Shuanglin suddenly called out to Zhou Song who was beside him.

Not long after, Zhou Song called his grandfather over.

"Shuanglin, Xiaosong said you called me to do something."

After Mr. Zhou came over, Zhang An called his uncle.

"Father, has there ever been a flood in our big river, when the water flooded the fields?"

If you are indecisive, ask the old man. Mr. Zhou is now in his 60s, and he should have seen most of the things he should see.

Although Zhou Shuanglin is in his 40s, he still hasn't seen the big river turn into what Zhang An said

"There are still many years of floods, but it will be too early when the fields are flooded."

Hearing the elder son's question, Mr. Zhou began to fall into memories.

As juniors, Zhang An and the others quietly listened to Mr. Zhou's story about the past.

"How old were you at that time, and you were not yet sensible."

The old man shook the cigarette rod to shake out the tobacco pot inside.

"That time there was a flood and it rained continuously for many days. The water in this big river was like a water dragon eating people. Even here at our house, we could hear the sound of the water rolling and roaring in the big river."

"It directly filled our big river, and all the river water turned up, flooding the field dam like a big reservoir."

"When the rain stopped and the river calmed down, the fields and dams were full of water. It took several days for the flooded water to disappear."

Zhou Yang was a little shocked when his grandfather said that.

Originally thought that the river is so wide and the river is so deep, the river must not be able to turn up.

I didn't expect such a big flood to happen before.

Zhang An thought to himself, how big is this? A river as big as the Yellow River can be submerged downstream.

Not to mention the river at the entrance of the village.

"By the way, what are you asking about this?"

The old man is a little strange, how can he ask these things so well.

Then Zhou Shuanglin told the old man what Zhang An had just said.

The old man was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Shuanglin, Xiaoan's thinking is reasonable. What if the river turns over in the future? It's not a gamble."

In case of bad luck, the river will turn up, even if the water level is not as deep as half a person.

Just flooding the house is a bad thing.

After the last family discussion, the old man decided to change the place to build a house for Zhou Yang.

The place I found again was on the ridge of Guchang, which is now the vegetable field of Zhou Yang's second uncle's house.

Of course, it's not for nothing, the brothers are still clear about their accounts, let alone the brothers who have already separated.

This matter has to be discussed by the old man, and it must be exchanged for land.

It's just that if it's my own family, when changing fields and land, it's almost fine.

Looking for an outsider to exchange, sometimes you have to be manipulated by others.

Either you are required to give a larger land area, or you are required to post money.

Now that I have decided to change the place, I have to ask my husband to come over and have a look again.

If you invite good people during the day, you will definitely come to the door to say something at night, so that the people who save you will make a trip tomorrow for nothing.

After Zhang An finished talking, he sat for a while and went back.

"Shuanglin, Xiaoyang, Zhang An came to tell you about this matter, and he just treats you as relatives. Regardless of whether there will be a lot of trouble in the future, don't think about him."

Before the old man left, he said a few words to his children and grandchildren.

"No one can say for sure about this kind of thing, but in the final analysis, people only remind us that they are on good terms with our family. If they change their family, others will not be willing."

He is quite old, and he has seen many things.

If there is no big fire in the future, he is afraid that his children and grandchildren will feel resentful towards Zhang An.

"Father, don't worry, even if it's not Anzi today, if someone else reminds us, we have to thank others. No matter what the result is, they are all here for our family's well-being, so why would they have any thoughts about others."

After the old man left, Zhou Yang and his son went door to door to inform everyone that they would not break ground tomorrow.

As for when, I have to change the land with Uncle Zhou Yang's family first, and then talk to my husband to see the day.

"Dad, you don't have to help Zhou Yang's family tomorrow."

Zhang An returned home and told his father.

"What's the matter, do you have something to do tomorrow?"

Zhang Jianguo thought that his family had more important things to do tomorrow, so he didn't need to go there.

"That's not true, it's because Zhou Yang's family wanted to find a new place to build, and it was no longer in the seedling field."

Then Zhang An told his parents what happened at Zhou Yang's house just now.

When Wang Fang heard that it was Zhang An who suggested it, she felt a little worried.

I feel that my son is a little too much in charge, what if others complain in the future.

Zhang An smiled and said it's okay, anyway, he will know next year.

I can't tell them directly that there will be a big flood next summer, and the houses built there will definitely be flooded.

That way people will think you are crazy.

And Zhou Yang's family is better off in this life because of his own reminder.

So now I'm thinking about building a new house, which is a good thing.

Don't end up having an accident because of building the house by the river, that Zhang An himself can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

So Zhang An thought about it from the beginning, and tried his best to persuade Zhou Yang's family to change his mind.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang's family was able to listen to what he said, and the result was good.

The next morning, when Zhang An passed the lobby, he suddenly noticed that the fish tank was not the same as usual.

There were dense black spots floating inside, Zhang An leaned over to look, and found that fish roe had hatched.

A few days ago, the red carp in the fish tank started to produce roe.

Unexpectedly, a small fish had already hatched today.

These carp fry are like the mud in the ditch being stirred up.

Although it is small, it is a large tank densely packed.

It had just hatched in the past two days, and it was not clear whether there were any mutated red carp.

I can only continue to raise it for a while to see if there is any, it is best, if not, pour it into the fish pond.

As the time entered April, the cherry trees on the mountain withered for a few days, and the cherries were hung.

As time goes by day by day, the cherry is slowly getting bigger.

Up to now, the green cherries on the tree have begun to turn from green to yellow.

Zhang An reckoned that it might take a few days, at most less than a week, before the cherries would ripen.

Just after breakfast, Huang Erye came to look for him.

"Anzi, my plum tree has been bearing fruit for the past few days. How do you do the fruit thinning thing you told me earlier?"

This year, Huang Erye pays special attention to these two acres of plum trees.

After getting Zhang An's suggestion, Huang Erye not only fertilized and weeded the grass and loosened the ground.

Moreover, he also asked Zhang An about pruning the branches and leaves, and carefully repaired the plum tree that hadn't been pruned for more than ten years.

Every day if there is nothing to do, his old man will go over to see the situation of the plum tree.

Anyway, in the past few months, most of Huang Erye's thoughts have been put on the plum tree.

Later, the plum tree bloomed, and Huang Erye went to Zhang An's house to borrow a box of bumblebees.

In these two days, the plum trees have begun to bear fruit.

To his delight, there are more flowers blooming on the plum tree this year than in previous years.

So now after the fruit is set, the number of green fruits on the tree is much more than before.

But then I remembered what Zhang An said to him before, more fruit on the tree is not necessarily a good thing.

Because the fertility in this field is not very strong, I have to add fertilizer to the field by myself.

If so many green fruits are hung at once, most of the plums may not grow well, so fruit thinning is required.

So these days, as soon as the plum tree hung plums, he came to look for Zhang An.

Zhang An didn't know these things very well before, but the knowledge is all learned.

After buying so many books in the city, I finally enriched myself.

It's a pity that I bought this book late, and missed the time when the plums bloomed, otherwise I could teach Huang Erye how to thin flowers.

"Hey, it started hanging up so soon, I thought it would be after May."

It seems that the plum tree in Huang Erye's house is an early-maturing variety.

It's only mid-to-late April now, and the flowers have begun to wither and bear fruit.

"Then let's do it today, this job is easy, second master, call Huang Ming later, I will take you to do it once, and you will know."

After all, Huang Ming is a young man with a more flexible mind.

So when you get in touch with these new things, you can learn faster.

And in the future, Zhang An estimated that many of Huang Erye's plum groves would be passed on to Huang Ming.

So simply bring Huang Ming along and complete the teaching task at once.

"Mom, I won't go weeding today. I'll help the second master's house look at their plum trees."

Before Zhang An left with Huang Erye, he told his old mother.

Zhang An's family also has work today, weeding the watermelons and strawberries in the nest.

However, Wang Fang invited many people, so Zhang An went to help Huang Erye's house to thin fruit first.

While talking, the people Wang Fang invited to weed had already arrived.

After Zhang An finished speaking, he followed Huang Erye to their house.

"Xiao An, is your family going to ask someone to make a living today?"

Seeing so many people in the yard, Second Master Huang came over with hoes to report.

Everyone has already known about Zhang An's family hiring people to work.

"Yes, Second Master, in the melon field planted in the nest this year, the grass grows taller than the melon seedlings, so we can't do without weeding the grass."

"Then you should go home and do your homework, and then go and help the second master after your family's work is done."

If Huang Erye had known that Zhang An's family had something to do today, he would not have come to Zhang An at this time.

After all, the family spent money to find someone to make a living, and I called Zhang An to come over to help, which was a bit unreasonable.

"It's okay, Second Master, there are many people invited at home, and I'm a lot less. Besides, for your plum tree, these two days are the best time to thin the fruit, so we can't delay it."

When Zhang An was talking, he dragged Huang Erye to their house.
