Tuan Chong is five and a half years old and started his fortune from farming.

Chapter 54 A big tree attracts the wind
  Dahe Village——

Today, the river is no longer colder than before, and people with small boats have begun ferrying across the river.

On the endless river, there are many fishermen spreading fish food and checking the status of their pearl clams.

On the river bank, many women were holding mallets and washboards, leaning against the cracks in the rocks on the bank, washing clothes, and there was a constant sound of beating.

"Squeak~"

The old trolley has a shortcoming, that is, the wheel base is rusty, and it makes a little noise when pushed, but it does not affect its use.

Since Song Yu came here, he rarely goes out.

Seeing this scene full of life, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Is this the pastoral life described by the teacher?

Every brick and tile is a landscape.

Every plant and tree has spirituality.

Ahem, although this village is very remote, it has beautiful scenery and is very comfortable for self-cultivation.

Jiang Changfa pushed the cart with a relaxed pace.

When passing by the river at home, he stopped pushing the cart and couldn't help but shake his daughter awake——

"Wake up Fu Bao, look, the pearl clams in our river are growing well~"

"Hmm~"

"Dad, are you home yet?"

"almost."

"Ang~"

Fu Bao stretched out and rubbed his eyes. After being lifted off the cart by her father, she stood still for a short time when she saw her father bend down and fish out a bead from the river that was bigger than his palm. mussel.

It's a bit black, with some green on it. If you fiddle with it carefully, it's a very fine waterweed~
  "Brother Yu, come and see if our pearl clams are big?"

Jiang Changfa passed by his dazed daughter and turned to show off to his future son-in-law.

"Well, it's really big."

Song Yu is very familiar with pearls made into exquisite objects, which are indispensable in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But this was the first time I saw pearl clams.

Since Uncle Jiang asked, he would pick the answer that the other party wanted to hear.

"Let me tell you, these pearl clams will bloom in two months. If high-quality pearls bloom by then, then I will..."

Before Jiang Changfa could finish speaking, an old man came face to face. The old man was full of energy and had his own aura.

Fu Bao woke up from his drowsiness, quickly stood up straight, smiled sweetly, and shouted:

"Hello, Grandpa Village Chief~"

"Hey, Fu Bao's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter~"

The old man did not use a cane, had a long beard, and put his hands behind his back, looking very much like a leader inspecting.

Ahem, of course, this is all Fubao's imagination and does not count.

"Hello, Grandpa Village Chief~"

Song Yu followed suit and followed the "steps" of his little fiancée.

After the old man approached, he looked at the boy carefully, and then asked Jiang Chang:

"Huh? Is this Fu Bao's child foster husband?"

"Yes."

"This guy is pretty good. He hairs frequently. Your mother has always had a very discerning eye. He's amazing~"

"Hehe, my mother does have good eyesight."

Jiang Changfa smiled innocently, put down the clam and washed his hands, echoing what the other party said.

After the old village chief finished his praise, he raised his chin with a smile and said:
  "Chang Fa, I think your pearl mussels are growing well. In my opinion, if the harvest is harvested in a few months, your family will definitely produce something good!"

The Jiang family's life is getting better and better visibly to the naked eye.

While wandering around, he heard many villagers talking and pointing behind his back.

To put it bluntly, I am idle and jealous. He couldn't say what was going on next to him, but across the river, he saw that Jiang's pearl clams were bigger and rounder.

The big tree attracts the wind, and the big pearls and clams attract the wind, not the wind, but...
  Jiang Changfa couldn't help but be happy when he heard this. The village chief's uncle took the lead in planting pearl clams. He had already agreed, so it must be good.

Thinking of the other party's help to him over the years, he hurriedly said:

"With your good advice, if my family can produce something good, I will definitely treat you to a drink!"

"Hohoho, that old man, I'm just waiting to have a drink~"

The old village chief's smile deepened. I'm afraid this meal of wine will be inseparable.

However, he reminded me:
  "Lao Li's boy recently said that he was going to work in the town. Your river beach should be taken care of by yourself while your family keeps an eye on it."

"Definitely~"

Jiang Changfa was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

What the village chief uncle meant was that someone in the village was staring at the pearl clams in his river beach!
  You have to be more careful. I have been raising my pearl clams for more than a year, and I am just waiting for the harvest this year!

After bidding farewell to the village chief, Jiang Changfa was worried.

After Fu Bao had seen enough of her river beach, she turned around and saw the worried look on her father's face, and couldn't help but ask:
  "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. I'll take you home first. Your village chief grandfather reminded me that we need to keep an eye on our pearls and clams."

Jiang Changfa shook his head. Telling his daughter about this kind of thing would only make things more troublesome. It was better for him to find a way to solve it himself.

Go home and discuss it with your mother-in-law and his mother. Apart from delivering goods and transporting pigs to the water every day, he can stay in the thatched hut on the river beach.

Otherwise, if his pearl clams were stolen, he would die of nausea!

"Ah."

Fu Bao nodded, but refused her father's move to carry her into the cart. She took Song Yu's hand and motioned to her father to push the cart, and they followed.

Jiang Changfa nodded. Everyone in the village knew that his mother had found a child husband for his daughter.

It's normal for children to hold hands and walk together.

Besides, children develop good relationships when they are young, and when they grow up, it’s time to get married, and everything will fall into place.

No matter how bad it is, the two children are not destined to be together, but with this childhood friendship, even if they are brother and sister, there is nothing wrong with them.

On the way home, the children in the village were playing in two groups.

One group is composed of boys, aged under ten and over two years old, who like to climb trees, dig out bird eggs, and play in the mud.

One group is girls, under eight years old and over two years old, who like to play with shuttlecocks made of chicken tail feathers, or play with cross-frames and pass levels on one leg.

Fu Bao doesn't like these childish games, and since she's already smart, she doesn't play with other little girls in the village except Xiao Hua.

Needless to say, Song Yu's temperament is so eye-catching among boys.

In a tacit understanding, the two of them chose to go home without seeing the children having fun.

After they left, the girls talked a lot——

"Look, it's Fu Bao."

"I feed her milk to steamed egg custard every day, and she's almost fat."

"But why do I feel that she is fat and good-looking, so lovable?"

"Meizi, how can you speak for her? Have you forgotten? We invited her to play in the mud before, but she didn't even want to play with us."

"That's right, I hate Fu Bao the most. Why should she be well fed and clothed? We have to kill pigs and feed pigs, chickens and ducks every day~"

"But I have seen Fu Bao and his wife go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables together."

"So what? Anyway, I don't like her, and you won't be allowed to associate with her in the future, otherwise I won't be with you!"

"Now that we know Xiaocui, we won't mention Fu Bao in the future~"

"That's pretty much it~"

"But I have a story to tell. Fu Bao's child adoptive husband is very good-looking, even if he doesn't smile. I heard he can read."

"I saw it too. My grandma and I went to Fubao's house to exchange braised food, and I saw him writing. It was so beautiful~"

"Uh, didn't you agree not to mention Fu Bao?"
