Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1233 Transformation
"Xiao Qi'er means...do you want our old bones to follow?" the old man asked in surprise.It's not uncommon to take care of the family, but there are still too few people who take the elders with them, and they usually stay in their hometown.

"You don't have to follow the post, and it's still early. What Xiao Qi'er means is that the elders can gradually reduce those farm work and household chores."

"At least when you want to live in the county, you can leave as soon as you want, and live as long as you want, without worrying about the land at home, the pigs that have not been fed, and the chickens and ducks that need to be released from the cage..."

"Get used to it first. Maybe in a few years, our family will move to the capital for a long-term stay, or we can walk around, see the great rivers and mountains of Dongli, and eat delicacies from all over the place."

"Now that we have money, time, and cars, isn't it very convenient? The elders have worked hard all their lives, not to mention living in a big house, wearing luxurious clothes, eating delicacies from mountains and seas, and having many servants. At least they don't have to continue to work so hard, right? "

What Fang Xiaofu said was also discussed with the three brothers, in preparation for their future entry to Beijing.

Xiao Qi'er regained her princess status, Fang Zizhan became a son-in-law, Fang Zijian and Fang Ziyuan, whether they are officials or businessmen, they all need a place where their families can live together, but it must not be Qingyang County, not Fangshan Village.

But if the family is suddenly asked to move to the capital on that day, they will only be frightened and at a loss. They will not adapt to the life of a big family in various ways, but they will feel anxious and uncomfortable, right?
It is better to give them time to adapt now, especially the women at home. It is not a one-day or two-day process to change from a peasant woman to a wife. They must be slowly guided forward.

Fang Xiaofu's words immediately moved the hearts of mother, uncle, and two aunts.All of them have children who are studying in the county. It's not that they won't see each other for ten days and a half months, but they won't see each other for several months.

Especially Zisheng and Zixu are still so young, the mother is worried and thinking about it all day long, but she dare not speak out, for fear of delaying their study.

The only peace of mind is that they are all with their brothers, and they have companions in and out, so they don't worry too much, they just miss them too much.

If you can go to the county town to live for a while, it would be great to accompany them...

"Xiao Qi'er is right. It's just that we are all used to farm work. If we want to live in the county seat for a long time, we are afraid of being idle." The second master said with a smile.

"There will be college exams next year and the year after. Second master and master are old boys, don't you want to take the exam again?" Fang Xiaofu glanced at second master with a smile.Don't be afraid to be idle, just find something to do.

"It seems to be good." The second master thought about it for a while and thought it made sense, so he looked at the old man, "Brother, you have worked hard all your life, and now that your grandson is promising, you should enjoy the blessings."

The old man is 58 this year. Naturally, he cannot retire in modern times, and he is not even counted as entering old age.But in ancient times, he was already an old man, and he would have his [-]th birthday next year.

"You don't need to make up your mind now, you can think about it first. At home...we can reduce some pigs, and we can reduce the daily pig food and cleaning work accordingly, but it's a big head."

Seeing that his master was still struggling, Fang Zizhan quickly proposed.In the past, my family was poor, but pigs were a great wealth. I could sell them for money when raising a litter, and I could kill the pigs myself during the Chinese New Year.But now I eat meat every day, and I don’t see pigs killed every day.

When Dazayuan came to buy a lot of pigs and left, there is a lot of meat in Dazayuan's meals, and the daily demand is very high.But at the same time, there are sows at home, and several litters of piglets are born every year, which is a continuous stream of raising.

Moreover, the big pigs eat a lot, and the little piglets have to pay more attention to raising them, especially when the piglets are born, the old lady puts a spring bench in the backyard and keeps watch day and night.

It was okay before, but definitely not in the future.

"Why don't we sell this litter of big pigs and keep them as bacon until winter?" the old lady said in confusion.There was no mention of the sow after all.

"Mother, send the sow to Wuziqiu, we will stop raising pigs next year, and you will have less work." Just when Fang Xiaofu was thinking about how to persuade the old lady, he heard his father speak.

Fang Zhicheng was in charge of Wuziqiu, so he knew the situation there. The pig farm provided a lot of pork for the county, and the amount raised was not comparable to that at home.

"This sow has been raised for several years..." The old lady chattered about the value of this sow reluctantly.

"Grandma, you work hard in the backyard every day. Even if you earn money, you don't have time to spend it. Also, if my wife makes you new clothes in the future, will you still wear them to feed pigs?" Fang Ziyuan helped persuade.

But what he said made everyone laugh.But the old lady's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your wife? Erlang, are you ready to say kiss? Which girl is it?"

"Pfft." Fang Xiaofu hastily lowered his head, not daring to look at the angry eyes of his second brother.

"Second brother means that your granddaughter-in-law will be filial in the future. If you want to work in the backyard, you must be reluctant to wear good materials, so you can only put your granddaughter-in-law's heart in the closet."

Fang Zizhan saw that his second brother was staring at Xiao Qi'er, so he quickly helped to explain, and he was begging for peace with his second brother.He didn't dare to confess Miss An Yao, after all, he hasn't mentioned the marriage, so it's not good to talk too much.

"Yes, grandma, you have three grandchildren now, and you have to be busy in the backyard, and you don't have time to dress up and wear a gold mask. It's not worth it." Fang Zijian also chimed in.

Others persuaded after hearing this.

The old man and the second master are fine, after all, their master was the third-rank minister back then, and they were supposed to be officials, but now they have the opportunity to strive for the top, so they are naturally excited.

The old lady is a typical peasant woman who has worked hard all her life and suddenly told her not to be so busy. For this reason, she had to send away the sow she had fed for several years. How could she get used to it?

But she couldn't stand everyone's persuasion, so she finally agreed to send the sows to Wuziqiu first. The pigs at home would be sold off and the pigsty would be repaired and converted into a chicken and duck house.

According to Fang Xiaofu, chickens and ducks are also divided into sizes. Larger ones need more room for movement, while smaller ones need a more careful breeding environment.Therefore, the pigsty is just used and not wasted.

In fact, she said this because she was worried that the old lady would suddenly bring in some piglets to raise, and let the chickens and ducks occupy the place, which might distract her attention.

Anyway, the problem of pigs has been solved in a short period of time, and it is not appropriate to solve the problem of chickens and ducks immediately. There must be a buffer process for people.

So after a meal, the problem in the old lady's backyard was solved, and it also freed up a lot of time for Fang Yang and Fang Liu.

It's just laundry, cooking, collecting firewood, and cleaning the house, without the work of pulling pig food, chopping pig food, cooking pig food, feeding pigs, cleaning pig pens, etc., it's not so much easier.
