Chapter 66 Buying Fields (2)
Not to mention the food rations of their family, just looking at Lin Erniu, an out-and-out farmer, who is in a hurry at home every day but can't go to the fields, Lin Xiaoqiao feels that no matter what happens, he has to give it to himself. Dad bought a few acres of fertile land and asked him to find something to do, or his own land would be ruined by him.

Besides, if they don't buy some land, the rations of their family will also be a problem. Half of the rice noodles and grains they eat now are brought by grandma, Sun, and half are bought by Lin Erniu at the grain store in the town. After all, this is not a long-term solution.

Every time I saw Lin Erniu go to the town to buy grain, it looked like someone was trying to cut his flesh with a knife, and when he came back from the purchase, he also looked like he was scratching his heart and lungs.

Last time, after building a big house, buying furniture, and buying cattle, there was only about 350 taels of silver left in the family.

Lin Xiaoqiao feels that the most important thing for their family now is to buy some fields, one is to solve the problem of their own rations, and the other is to stop his father Lin Erniu from wandering around every day, leisurely. Both hands and feet are uncomfortable.

This idea won the support of the whole family, especially Lin Erniu, who looked at Lin Xiaoqiao with a feeling of "my little girl is the one who knows my heart".

The next day, Lin Erniu got up early, had a hurried breakfast, and then sat and waited for the sun to rise.

In fact, he wished he could go to Lizheng's house and knock on the door in the middle of the night, but the last rationality prevented him from doing so.

After wandering around for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, Lin Erniu planned to go to Lizheng's house to inquire about the land he wanted to buy.

It is the beginning of summer now, and in one and a half months, the rice in the field will be mature and waiting to be harvested.

In this season, if there were no special reasons and difficulties that could not be overcome, ordinary farmers would not choose to sell their fields at this time.

Sure enough, Lin Erniu excitedly ran to Lizheng's house to inquire for a while, and then heard Lizheng say: "Erniu, why did you choose this time to buy land? In this season, there are usually no houses to sell. Fields. You can see if you will buy them in the next few months. At that time, the rice in the fields will be harvested. I guess some fields will be sold. I will pay more attention to you when the time comes. Once there are sellers I'll let you know, how about it?"

Lin Erniu nodded, said goodbye and left to go home.Lin Xiaoqiao looked at his father's undisguised disappointment, and knew that the matter of buying the land hadn't been completed.

For Lin Erniu, there was no field and no work to do this day, and all his muscles and bones were idle and uncomfortable. His heart was not at ease. Perhaps this was the pursuit of a typical farmer.

For people like Lin Erniu, it doesn't matter if they have a lot of money, but being able to work in the fields is what he is most passionate about.

Seeing his disappointment, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and took his big hand, and said, "Father, let's go up the mountain and cut down some masters, and you weave some bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, etc. Our family just moved in, and we don’t have enough baskets, if you weave more, we can still go to the town to go to the market and sell them for money.”

After Lin Erniu heard this, the look of disappointment on his face decreased slightly, and he felt that this idea was not bad, so he took Lin Xiaoqiao up the mountain to cut bamboo.

In fact, the so-called bamboo basket weaving was purely because Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't see that Lin Erniu was too disappointed, so he racked his brains to find something for her father to do, so that he wouldn't be too disappointed.

The father and daughter tossed on the mountain for nearly two hours, Lin Erniu chopped a lot of bamboo, and Lin Xiaoqiao wandered around not far from Lin Erniu to see if there was anything new, what a pity I found nothing.

Maybe it's because she didn't dare to go far. After all, there are many dangers in the mountains. She is a little girl, and she is really not very courageous.

When the father and daughter went down the mountain, Lin Erniu was carrying a large pile of bamboo on his shoulders, and Lin Xiaoqiao was also carrying a dusty wild rabbit in his hand, which was still struggling desperately.

Speaking of this rabbit, Lin Xiaoqiao really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. They didn't catch it on purpose, but it bumped into the bamboo by itself.The rabbit was still in a state of dizziness, and was obtained by Lin Xiaoqiao by "handling the rabbit".

Li Shi and Lin Xiaoxi were a little surprised when they first saw the wild rabbit in Lin Xiaoqiao's hand, but when they heard that the rabbit was delivered to their door by themselves, they were stunned for a while.

Seeing her little girl staring at the poor rabbit with shining eyes, Mrs. Li knew that she was greedy for the rabbit meat, so she said straightforwardly, tonight there will be another dish on the table - braised rabbit meat.

This was exactly what Lin Xiaoqiao wanted, so she happily assigned her father, Lin Erniu, to clean up the rabbit as soon as possible. The hare seemed to know that it was going to be slaughtered and eaten, and struggled harder and harder.

Lin Xiaoxi stood aside, looking at this scene, she couldn't bear it in her heart. Seeing the unbearable look on her sister's face, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart, so she could only sigh: Her sister is really sad. I'm sorry, to be so unbearable to a wild rabbit, isn't it a little too cruel?However, thinking about the delicious braised rabbit meat, she can't control that much anymore, let's settle the glutton in her stomach first.

In the evening, on the dining table of the Lin family, there was a dish of braised rabbit meat in braised sauce, which was delicious in color and flavor.

Undoubtedly, this additional dish was warmly welcomed by everyone. Everyone was satisfied with the meal, and their faces were full of oil. Even Lin Xiaoxi, who was still showing embarrassment to the hare in the afternoon, kept holding the chopsticks in his hand. , I enjoyed eating so much.

After the meal, Lin Xiaoqiao took his elder sister Lin Xiaoxi to the study to find the eldest brother and the second brother to learn how to read, as usual, the two sisters must have learned hundreds of words these days.

Especially Lin Xiaoqiao, whose speed of recognizing characters is astonishingly fast, which made Dalang Erlang amazed for a while, and said that it is a pity that their little sister is not a man, otherwise they will definitely get the honor.

Lin Xiaoqiao slandered in her heart: At least my sister studied for more than ten years in her previous life, which is not much easier than your ten years of studying hard.As far as these traditional characters are concerned, it's not trivial to her.If she shows her true level, she won't scare you to death.

Let's talk about the purchase of land by the second room of the Lin family. Originally, they all felt that they had nothing to look forward to recently, so Lin Erniu also took a break for a while and devoted himself to weaving bamboo baskets at home.

However, it was a coincidence that God always arranged for some unexpected situations to happen, but this morning Lizheng came to the door suddenly and told them the good news.
