Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 16 Planning
The cheap mother is too hard. When I have money in the future, I want to build a well at home so that my mother will not be tired. When I have more money, I will find a maid to take care of it. How good it is.Unfortunately there is nothing now.Therefore, this time we must investigate the market situation and the language distribution status.

When Jingniang picked up the water, she saw her precious daughter basking in the sun and fell asleep in the yard. Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, she felt an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart.I thought to myself, let her sleep more, she woke up too early in the morning, and she is tired now, and her daughter is only 8 years old, so she needs her to help share some, in fact, she is not willing, but there is no way , there is no man in the family.

Xiao Ting squinted under the sun for a while, and now her spirits are much better. She looked back at the room, and her mother was already busy in the kitchen.Xiao Ting suddenly thought of her quilt, which was thin and damp, and it hadn't been out in the sun for a long time, and there were probably bacteria on it.In fact, she really likes the smell of the quilt after it has been dried in the sun, and it is also warm when covered, not to mention that the sun can also sterilize bacteria.

She first went to the kitchen to bring out the larger firewood and put it on the ground, and then went to the room to take out the quilt and spread it on the firewood to dry.I looked at the fence, walked over to it, checked it carefully, and found that some of them were considered solid, so I went into the room of grandma and mother again, took out their quilts and hung them on the fence to dry.

It seems that she saw that the cheap mother was drying clothes on the fence before, but it is better to dry the quilt more.Just turn your head over in the afternoon and then dry the other side.

After lunch, Xiao Ting went to wash clothes by the river with Cheap Mother.Although she knows how to wash clothes in modern times, and usually she only likes hand washing, not machine washing.In the past, her down jackets and coats were sent for laundering, but since she found out that the laundromats looked clean on the surface, but the clothes smelled bad, she once secretly went to the dry cleaners and they looked clean After hand washing her down jacket, she found that it was actually very dirty, so she never sent it for washing again, and she washed it by herself.

Many women by the river probably come to wash when the weather is warm, the sun is shining, and the river water is not too cold.However, except for Aunt Wang and the eldest daughter-in-law of her cousin's family, none of these women were known by Xiao Ting.

However, a public place like this has an advantage, that is, it is equivalent to an information exchange center, where all kinds of gossip and gossip can be heard here.But seeing Xiao Ting and her mother coming now, everyone is very curious. You must know that this girl is usually a fool, but there is no secret in this village. Know.Therefore, many people knew about Xiao Ting's rolling down the hill some time ago, so they all greeted her with concern.

Few of the people in the country are really bad-hearted, and they are all relatively simple and kind.Xiao Ting was actually quite moved when she saw those kind greetings.To know that coming to this strange world inexplicably, I think everyone will feel uneasy, insecure, and don't know what will happen in the next second.

However, during the brief laundry process, Xiao Ting knew that the people in this village were generally poor, indeed poor.Look at the clothes of those women, who is not wearing straw sandals, wearing clothes that have been patched several times, there are really few who can wear cloth shoes, they are really too poor.

She knows that a place needs to become rich. To paraphrase a modern saying: if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.It is said that the road in Chengjiakeng is very bad. After hearing what her mother said, Xiao Ting thought of a song in her mind, "Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road".Then look at the road from her house to the river, and then the road from her house to the village chief’s cousin’s house, it’s really too bad.

Xiao Ting thought to herself, when she has money, move out?Or is it to drive everyone to get rich together?This is not yet available.After she has figured out everything, she will make a decision based on the actual situation.

So far, Xiao Ting has watched everything with cold eyes, and she has remained silent about any situation.Occasionally, when I see someone who looks more eye-catching, I smile at them.

Among them, two women have been looking at Xiao Ting and his wife coldly all the time, and the cheap mother saw the smile on their faces very reluctantly, Xiao Ting was very puzzled, and it was not good to ask her cheap mother directly What's going on dear.

After washing the clothes and returning home, the cheap mother took the tools and was ready to go out and go to the fields to have a look.Xiao Ting stopped in front, worried that Jing Niang was acting like a baby, and asked her to give her a share of the seeds in the field today.

This guy thought, you will be planting seeds in a few days, so I should start preparing. Although she doesn't know exactly how to get her, I just don't want her to bother me.Thinking about an acre of land, according to taxes, keeping seeds, etc., what can be left is only twenty or thirty catties, and it hurts her to think about it.

You have to know that when you were young (in the 90s), even if your family was poor and there were no special conditions, one mu of land could produce five or six hundred catties, not to mention the later hybrid rice and so on. Conditions, the yield of one mu of land is more than 1000 catties.According to the current conditions, it can be compared with that in the early 90s.It would take five or six hundred catties to justify it.

Xiao Ting doesn't know what a fat field is, what a thin field is, and she doesn't know how to serve Tian.But she had heard from the cheap mother that the acre of land in their family was relatively fertile.So she felt pain when she thought about it, how low the output is, only twenty or thirty catties are left in a year.She wanted to try it out by herself, she was too unwilling not to make trouble.

So I pestered my mother first and asked for the seeds first, and that was something her mother had promised her before.Jing Niang thought her daughter was joking before, so she didn't care, so she agreed casually, although the precious daughter first asked her grandma, and then said her grandma agreed, before talking to her.After thinking about it, her daughter has grown up, and she is not ignorant of her daughter's temper in the past two days, so she decisively took out one-tenth of the seeds and gave it to her.

Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Ting asked the two women in the afternoon, Jing Niang expressed confusion, not knowing who she was asking.Xiao Ting then said: "The one next to Aunt Wang is wearing a bluish-white dress with two patches on her body, which is not bad among the group of women. Hairpin, the one with melon-shaped face, single eyelids, plump figure. There is also the one next to the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief’s uncle’s family, who is dressed in green and white, has a patch on her body, double chin, and a mole on the corner of her eyebrow. That woman. Who are they, and why are they making such bad faces at us?"

"Hey, who else could it be? Just Shitou Niang and Fu Niu Niang. One of them is the daughter-in-law of your uncle's cousin, Mrs. Wang. She gave birth to two sons, one named Shitou and the other Shizhu. The other is you The cousin and daughter-in-law of the father's second grandfather's family gave birth to a son and a daughter, Fu Niu and Er Hu. When your father left, the family was poor and had no food to eat, and the millet harvest had not yet arrived. The mother had a big belly and could cook There are not many things. Your sister-in-law had just reached Ji, and asked them to borrow some rice grain. They were afraid that we would eat for free and would not be able to pay back, so they said sourly. I just said that I married her in exchange for some winning money to live on. It’s also your sister-in-law’s life. Some time ago, after you fell off the mountain, your mother had no money, so I asked them to borrow it. What kind of illness. So my mother cut off contact with them in a fit of anger. Hey..."
