Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 57 A Brand New Page

Lan Lingxue had already stopped what she was doing, took a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and walked back to the table,
"Look, our family has [-] mu of land. We can use half of it to plant winter crops such as potatoes, cabbage, and radishes. We can use the remaining [-] mu as a greenhouse. We are not afraid that the greenhouse will not be successful, and we will have no vegetables for the winter.”

Although she is very confident that she will succeed, Lan Lingxue dare not talk too much. After all, this has never been done before. If you are too determined to succeed, it will make people feel strange, and let others It's not realistic to accept it, so give each a half chance. When the results of this year come out, next year will be much easier.

"Girl, how sure are you of success?"

Lan Erzhuang knows the details of his daughter. Since the daughter has already mentioned it, the chance of success should be very high.
"More than eighty percent."

Lan Lingxue still pondered for a while,
"It depends on how well our greenhouse is set up. If the greenhouse is set up well, the chance of success will be higher."

Eighty percent is indeed a conservative estimate. Lan Lingxue feels that if she can do it according to her imagination, there is a ninety-nine percent chance of success.

"Then why hesitate, second brother, I think it is enough for our family to reserve [-] acres of land for growing potatoes and cabbage, and let's leave [-] acres of land for a greenhouse."

Lin Zihao was really afraid that Lan Erzhuang would be too conservative, but he had great confidence in the little girl, and this was a good opportunity to make money, maybe it only took this winter, and the life of the second brother's family would turn around.
"Where is [-] mu of land needed? We used to have a large family of more than ten people, and we didn't need [-] mu of vegetables in winter. I think [-] mu is enough, and [-] mu is enough for a greenhouse. What do you like?" No?"

Lan Erzhuang looked around, and sure enough, he saw a strange brilliance in everyone's eyes. That brilliance was the yearning and expectation for a better life.

"Father, if my sister says yes, I will definitely do it. I support you."

Little Hoe was the first to express his opinion. He knew that his sister had a magic weapon.
"If ten acres of vegetables are enough for the winter, then I agree. You have to try it before you know the result. If you don't take a step forward, you will never know what is ahead."

An Zhiyuan also voted for it, and Lin Zihao's eyes were already shining brightly, as if the vegetables in the garden had grown vigorously,
"Second brother, have courage."

He gave Lan Erzhuang a thumbs up, sincerely admiring him.

"Since it has been unanimously approved, let's figure out how to build this warm shed. This is [-] acres of land, not a small project."

Lan Erzhuang had already begun to draw the blueprint excitedly, but Lan Lingxue secretly tore off his clothes and smacked at his mother. Lan Erzhuang was quick to respond, and quickly smiled at his daughter-in-law flatteringly. Voice,
"I'm so excited, I forgot that our family is the head of the family. I'm sorry, daughter-in-law, I'm too happy. You can check and see how our decision is?"

Lin Qiutang hurriedly waved her hands, her face blushing,
"I don't have any idea, just watch and see, I just need to feed you well, don't be hungry."

Lan Erzhuang also regretted neglecting his daughter-in-law just now, mainly because in the old house, when it came to farming, it was his father who made the decisions and did not discuss it with anyone, so he made this mistake that should not have been made. Rather than leaving a group of people behind, how can we let go of his wife's opinion, so he emphasized it again,
"Now, unanimously."

There was a burst of laughter in the room immediately, Lin Qiutang's face turned redder, but his heart warmed up, since he moved out, he is also a capable head of the house, whether it is going out to buy things at home, or making decisions about things at home , I am no longer dispensable, but will be respected. This kind of psychological improvement made Lin Qiutang feel for the first time that he can stand up straight and speak. From this moment, Lin Qiutang A new page has been opened in his life.

Lan Lingxue looked at the warmth of the room, and a smile spread on her face, thinking that in her previous life, she was alone in the house every day. Although the living environment was many times better than now, but That's not the life I want, home should be a place with houses and people, and the laughter and warmth of this house,

"Girl, now tell me what we should do. Although your Uncle Sanshui and the others will go back to harvest the crops in two days, if we work harder ourselves, this job will not be a waste of time."

If life can be improved, then there is nothing terrible about suffering a little bit. These days of eating meat and drinking porridge have made Lan Erzhuang full of confidence in the future.

"Father, I want to ask if there is any bamboo on our mountain. I want to use bamboo to build a shed, and the warm shed should be set lower. This way, there is no need to erect beams. Second, when it snows heavily in winter, it is not easy to be caught." It’s easier to clear the snow if it’s crushed.”

"A shorter shed, is it convenient for people to enter?"

Lan Erzhuang was a little confused, Lin Zihao also had doubts on his face,

"If it's too short, it won't be able to sow seeds and plow the ground. If it's taller than a person, it's no different from building a house."

Lan Lingxue measured it with her hands, trying to express herself clearly,
"Father, Uncle Zihao, so I need bamboo. I want to build an arched shed, high in the middle and low on the sides."

Afraid they still didn't understand, Lan Lingxue thought about what to use to draw them, and then remembered after looking around, this is not modern, pens and paper are precious, how can such a waste be so wasteful, so she took a bowl of water and used I painted on the table with my finger dipped in water, but if it gets too much, it will be a puddle.

"Sister, you use this."

Little Hoe came out of the house holding a small pile of paper, An Zhiyuan helped him with the brush and inkstone behind,
"Mother, please clean the table quickly."

Fearing that the water on the table would wet the paper, the little hoe kept yelling at his mother. Lin Qiutang immediately took a dry rag and helped wipe the table dry.

"Sister, you use this to draw, and this draws clearly."

Little Hoe carefully placed the paper in front of Lan Lingxue. Lan Lingxue knew it was the paper she bought for Little Hoe for him to practice calligraphy, and when she looked at the brand new writing brush, she knew he hadn't used it yet. Woolen cloth.

"Okay, sister will take this painting, but sister doesn't use a brush."

Lan Lingxue went to the stove, picked up a thinner burnt branch,

"I use this."

It's not for saving money, Lan Lingxue is really afraid of using a brush,
"Sister, you can use a brush, I will save some when I practice calligraphy in the future."

Thinking that his sister was reluctant, seeing the two sisters giving up for this little pen and paper, An Zhiyuan felt a little bit in his heart. It turned out that his life was so luxurious, but he was never satisfied. Some lives, If you haven't experienced it, you will never understand it, and you will never understand it. The master said that it is a last resort for parents to leave themselves, but now An Zhiyuan understands that a life without worrying about food and clothing is their guilt and regret for themselves. make up,
"I'll make a sand table tomorrow, and let the little hoe use the sand table to practice calligraphy, so that pens and paper won't be wasted."

Thinking of the sand table my father made for me, although it was made for me to play with, I often used it to write and doodle. It should be possible to use the sand table to practice calligraphy for the little hoe.

"No, let him practice calligraphy with pen and paper."

Unexpectedly, Lan Lingxue's refusal was so firm that there was no doubt about it. An Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows. Lan Lingxue also felt that his tone was a little anxious. After all, An Zhiyuan had good intentions, so he explained apologetically,
"He is still young, and only by practicing calligraphy with a pen and paper can he develop the hand feeling. If he uses a sand table, although he has learned to write, he will definitely not be able to practice the font. The feel of hard pens and soft pens is completely different. When he learns to write, If I practice brush calligraphy again, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Hearing Lan Lingxue's explanation, An Zhiyuan was a little secretly happy. She didn't dislike her idea, but because it was unfeasible. At the same time, she secretly despised herself. She always thinks about things without using her brain, which doesn't lay a good foundation , that brush calligraphy is really useless, and it is possible that you will never be able to practice it again.

"Sister, you know a lot."

Little Hoe looked at his sister adoringly,

"What's the matter, my sister is a failure example, because I learned to write secretly, and I don't have a pen and paper, so... It's not that my sister doesn't want to use a brush, but my sister can't use a brush well."

Although it is a fact that I can't write well, this excuse is too bad. The eyes of several people at the table looked at it differently, but except for the little hoe, no one had belief in their eyes.

"Look, the greenhouse I want looks like this."

Lan Lingxue couldn't bear the siege of eyes, and changed the subject in embarrassment. She used charcoal sticks to carefully draw the appearance of a modern greenhouse on the paper. Because she used the sketch method, it was very intuitive and three-dimensional, which is almost impossible for modern people. The painting method of the city has attracted the amazement of several other people,
"Little Lanzi, your painting is so realistic. I have never seen someone who can draw such an intuitive picture with only black and lines."

Lin Zihao lamented that he had seen a lot of paintings in the army. His former superiors and old generals were all capable of writing and martial arts, and there were several famous paintings around him, but none of them shocked him so much.

"That's right, what kind of painting are you doing?"

An Zhiyuan also asked that he had been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, but he had never seen this kind of painting.
"There's no way to paint. I just think it's clearer. I haven't learned how to paint, so I don't care about any techniques."

Lan Lingxue didn't expect that she just drew a picture with a carbon stick, how could she be worshiped by people?How careless it was.

An Zhiyuan was very interested in this painting method,
"Then how did you come up with the idea to draw such a picture? There must be some inspiration."

Even the little hoe has pricked up his ears. Although he doesn't know any famous masterpieces, the picture of my sister is really amazing to his eyes. A shed can be drawn with just a few strokes, and it is so clear and realistic. Since both Uncle Hao and Brother Zhiyuan said Okay, then my sister's drawing method should be very good.
