Chapter 35 Cleaning up chicken feathers
The Fang family got such a huge advantage, so naturally they refused to say it, otherwise every family would pick the tallow tree seeds in the next year, and then their own family would not be able to pick them.However, there are people from the village all around, and if they don't tell the truth, they are afraid of offending others, so they are in a dilemma for a while.

Luo Tiandu said casually: "Mother, just tell Third Aunt, it's okay." After speaking, he blinked at Fang Shi.

Fang Shi glared at her, and scolded: "A grown-up is talking, but a child is so talkative." At this time, she suddenly understood Yao Shi's mood every time he scolded Luo Tiandu for this.

Sometimes the kid really needs a spanking.

Luo Tiandu whispered to her: "Anyway, I can't hide it, so it's better to say it straight." To avoid offending others.

When they picked black tallow seeds, they didn't avoid people and piled them up at the ancestral hall. Everyone in the village knew that within a few days, they brought back half a tank of oil from the oil mill. Anyone with a brain can guess it The oil is pressed from tallow seeds. Even if you don't guess it, you can go to the oil mill and ask, and you don't know anything else.

Fang had no choice but to tell the truth, and in an instant, all the people around him ran away, and they could vaguely hear loud voices shouting: "Father, hurry up, pick up the burden, let's go and pick up some tallow trees too!" Seeds, don’t let people pick them all up.”

Thinking that she will not encounter such a good thing next year, Fang can't help but have some thoughts, and she is very depressed.

Luo Tiandu had no choice but to persuade her: "We can't hide this matter anyway, it's better to let it go, so that everyone can enjoy it, so as not to be said that our family eats alone. Besides, how much lamp oil can our family burn in a year? The more than 100 catties of oil is enough for us to order until this time next year."

Fang said: "Next year's lamp oil is enough, what about the year after? What about the year after? I have never seen you so kind and generous to others."

Luo Tian thought to himself, how could she be generous, anyway, she couldn't hide it, if she kept it hidden, she would be hated instead.She is not afraid of raising hatred, but Luo Baisu can't. If Yao shi can't think about it one day, he must make troubles about Luo Baisu's separation of the family. Isn't it necessary to rely on these folks from the village?Compared with Luo Baisu's future, the petty profit of black tallow oil is nothing at all, and she has her own plan for this matter.

Didn't the magistrate of Tang County wholeheartedly want to gain a clear name and make some political achievements during his administration, so as to lay the foundation for future promotion?
She planned to give this favor to him. Although the final purpose of Magistrate Tang was to further his official career, he was still considered a good official in comparison. Besides, it was her first time doing business and she won the [-]th prize awarded by the Tang family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a huge reward, even though the [-] hanging coins were just a drop in the bucket for the Tang family, but she still felt grateful for the Tang family's kindness, so it would be nice to take this opportunity to repay the favor.

Luo Baisu frowned and thought about it for a while, and finally wrote a post, writing about the black tallow oil in detail, but he didn't mention that it was Luo Tiandu's idea on how to use tallow tallow to extract oil. Luo Baisu only said that he was influenced by that gentleman's remarks. In addition, he also wrote clearly how the black tallow seeds were harvested, shelled, and the amount of oil produced. Finally, he specially noted that the oil It is poisonous and must not be eaten. Then I filled a can of oil and asked someone to send it to the county government when someone in the town was going to the county.

As for whether the Tang family took this matter to heart and reported it to the imperial court, or felt that it was a trivial matter that was not worth promoting, it had nothing to do with them.

If the Tang family thinks this is an insignificant matter and doesn't pay attention to it, there is no harm to their family; if the magistrate Tang sees the development prospects behind it, reports it to the imperial court, and promotes it, it can be regarded as a contribution to social development. After making a contribution, there is no harm anyway.

After harvesting the tallow tree oil, the weather suddenly changed, the temperature plummeted, and it became colder every day.

Luo Tian remembered that the temperature dropped around this time last year, and it started snowing within a few days.She was afraid of the cold, so she put on her thin reed jacket early on. This was the only thick dress she had for the winter, and it was Fang's old clothes that Luo Ming wore too small for her. It's done, the reed flowers inside have already run out seventy-eight out of ten, a thin layer, wearing it on the body, it is not much warmer than the linen clothes.

These days, it seems that cotton hasn’t come from South Asia. In winter, rich people have enough money to buy a few furs to keep warm. That’s Luo Baining. Every winter, the Yao family will give her a silk jacket, only her family , but wearing the thinnest and not warm reed jacket.

Then she remembered the pile of chicken feathers she bought, which happened to come in handy.That sack of chicken feathers was tightly pressed, weighing more than two catties at least, and it was enough to make three or four down jackets.

When the chicken feathers were first bought, Fang thought they were dirty and could not stand the unique smell of urine from poultry. After buying them, they boiled water and scalded the chicken feathers. I'm not in the mood to take care of it.When Luo Tiandu went to see it, he found that the sack had already been opened at some point, and the chicken feathers were scattered everywhere.She gritted her teeth in anger when she thought of the colorful shuttlecocks that Luo Baining had kicked in the yard these days.

She wasn't angry that Luo Baining used chicken feathers to make shuttlecocks, she was just angry that Luo Baining opened the sack and didn't know how to tie it. The chicken feathers are so light that they would float everywhere when the wind blows. Is it easy for her to pester Fang to buy a bag of chicken feathers?

Calculated that Luo Baining is 13 years old this year, according to the customs here, he is already considered a young adult, and in two years, it is time to get married, but thinking about Luo Baining's lazy temper and bad temper, Luo Ming is even better than her Five years younger, but much more sensible than her.After giving birth to such a daughter, even if she and Yao shi were not at odds, she would feel a little anxious for Yao shi.

She has been doing psychological construction for herself, she is a mature adult, she should treat children with love, and should not seriously care about them, but I have to say, no matter how many times she gives herself psychological hints, she still can't like Luo Baining .This child was completely spoiled by Mrs. Yao. For an inferior silk flower, he could use a hairpin to stab his niece who is five years younger than him. Fortunately, the hairpin was not good, otherwise, Luo Mingdu would have been stabbed by her last time. Hornet's nest.

Luo Tian resentfully grabbed the chicken feather to vent his anger, as if the chicken feather in his hand was Luo Baining's annoying face.

After Luo Mingdu cleaned up the house, he walked up to her and asked, "What are you doing? Does this chicken feather have a grudge against you?"

Luo Tiandu raised his head, and saw that Luo Mingdu was also wearing an old jacket, which was too big, dangling on Luo Mingdu's body.Luo Tian felt that the jacket looked familiar, she tilted her head and thought for a while, and then remembered that it was the one Fang Shi wore last year.Probably because Luo Mingdu's jacket was changed by Fang and now she is wearing it, so Fang gave Luo Mingdu his own.

Fang's jacket is even older, and there are basically no reeds in it, and it is not warm enough. Luo Ming is wearing it all over his body, but his hands are still freezing cold.

When Luo Mingdu came out, he ran into Luo Baining, who was wearing a newly made jacket and came back from showing off outside.When she saw the old reed jackets on Luo Tiandu and Luo Mingdu, she deliberately swayed in front of them several times.

Luo Tian didn't even raise his head, he only cared about playing with the chicken feathers in his hands, Luo Mingdu and Luo Baining were at odds, let alone at heart, at this time he also refused to talk to her, just pretending that he didn't see Luo Baining.

Ever since they had a fight with Yao Shi in the yard last time, they have been repeatedly ordered by Fang Shi to never contradict Yao Shi and Luo Baining, no matter what they say, they must endure it, let alone fight Yao Shi and Luo Baining.

Fang is afraid that they will suffer a lot, and Yao regards their family as a thorn in his side, wishing to grab the pigtails and take the opportunity to vent their anger on them. At this time, if the two children make her angry again, Yao will not be in a good temper Yes, it is necessary to beat them up like last time.After all, the two children are still young, if they don't see each other sometime, they will be beaten by Yao Shi, she won't even have a place to cry, so she might as well endure it, after two years, save some money and move out, and the world will be peaceful .

Luo Tiandu and Luo Ming have been listening to Fang Shi's persuasion these days, not to confront Yao Shi head-on, but they are forbearing and backing down, which doesn't mean that others won't come to their door.Luo Baining walked around the yard a few times, seeing that the two people in the yard ignored her, she was a little annoyed, and stood in front of Luo Tiandu, with her hips akimbo, and said unceremoniously: "Hey, didn't you see it?"

"What?" Luo Tiandu looked up at her and asked back.

"Look, this jacket was bought for me by my elder sister. It's filled with new cotton. It's light and warm, isn't it beautiful?" Luo Baining raised his chin and said proudly.

"En." Luo Tiandu responded casually, "It's very beautiful." She said something a little insincerely.

No matter how beautiful a jacket made of homemade cloth with a blue and white background is, it has its limits.

"Do you like it?"

"I like it." It would be even more likable if you could stay in the house honestly and not come out to be an eyesore in front of her.

Being admitted by Luo Tiandu that he likes his own jacket, Luo Baining's vanity was satisfied, he squinted at the old jacket on Luo Tiandu's body, and said with disgust: "Even if you like it again, I won't give it to you, I will give it to you. Mother said that a wild girl is only worthy of wearing an old reed jacket, and her life will be poor."

After speaking, with his nostrils facing the sky, he walked past with his head held high like a proud peacock.

"I don't care about your stinky clothes." Luo Mingdu whispered.

Luo Ming said it in a really low voice, but Luo Baining couldn't help but hear it with sharp ears.

"What did you say? How dare you say that my clothes stink? Say it again." When Luo Baining said this, he had a vicious expression on his face, resembling Yao's.

Before Luo Ming could say anything, Mrs. Yao rushed out from the main room over there, staring viciously at this side.

Luo Tian was afraid that Luo Ming would suffer, so he smiled and said to Luo Baining: "Sister-in-law, you heard wrong, my sister said your clothes look good."

"Go away, I obviously heard her scolding me." Luo Baining pushed Luo Tiandu aside, rushed to Luo Mingdu in a few steps, and was about to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by someone.
