Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 100
The five-acre field was bought for 28 taels of silver. Du Xian plowed it three times with oxen, and planned to plant some soybeans and sweet potatoes later. Change some money.

Du Xiaoyu is also very satisfied with the few acres of land. It is more expensive, but the advantage is that it is close to home, and it is indeed a good field. That family had a very good rice harvest last year, which is really not a loss.

Next year, except for the two mu of land she will use to grow winter melon and honeysuckle, the rest will continue to grow rice.

"Damn, you pick those eggs, I think there are some kind of eggs in them!" Du Xian came back from the field that day, stood outside the chicken shed and looked at it for a while, and said with a smile, "Look, this rooster is so big .”

As soon as he finished speaking, the rooster made a high-pitched cry. The colorful tail shone gorgeously in the sun, and the red comb was extremely majestic. It really was a strong chicken, much better than their previous one!

Du Xiaoyu ran over from the main room, "Is there a kind of egg?"

"Sure, I've been watching it for a few days."

Mrs. Zhao came over with a dustpan, looked at the hens in the chicken shed, and said with a smile, "Two of them are nesting."

"Oh, yes, quickly pick out those eggs and hatch them." Du Xian went outside after speaking.

Not long after, I heard the sound of thump, thump, thump.

"What is daddy doing?" Du Xiaoyu asked strangely, while helping Mrs. Zhao pick eggs, she didn't pick eggs for a few days, and saved more than a dozen. She looked at the eggs over and over again, and said with a frown, "Mother, what are you doing?" How can you tell the eggs?"

"You'll know when you show it to your father." Mrs. Zhao smiled.

The two went to the main room, and saw that Du Xianyuan had dug a small hole in the wall. The sun was good today, and immediately a cluster of golden and strong light came in.

"Little fish, come and learn." Du Xian beckoned to her, took out an egg, looked at the cluster of sunlight, pointed to it and explained, "Do you see, there is a small black spot, this is Breed eggs."

This method was actually used, Du Xiaoyu also learned it as usual, the two watched it for a while, Du Xian laughed, "There are ten breeding eggs!"

"I took it to the hens to hatch." Du Xiaoyu excitedly walked to the chicken shed, and placed five eggs under the two brooding hens.

She couldn't help laughing at how dedicated and dedicated they were, and in less than a month, there would be chicks coming out to pull!She also thought, it’s good to have a rooster, and the extra chicks can be sold for money. By the way, I don’t know if people here eat live pearls, but she remembers that they are also a kind of snack.

Of course, she never dared to eat it herself, thinking of the fluffy chick made her feel sick.

After coming out of the chicken coop, she took the scissors and cut off the last roses one by one, washed them and put them in the big bamboo plaque to dry.

I thought about using it to make tea earlier, but I kept forgetting.

At this moment, there was a sound of pushing the door outside the courtyard, followed by Zhou Daya's voice, "Sister Xiaoyu!"

Du Xiaoyu immediately frowned, looked up, and saw Zhou Zhouya also came, both carrying a bamboo basket.

"Erya, come in quickly." She smiled, "I didn't even thank you for sending the bamboo shoots last time!"

Tuesday Ya smiled shyly and put down the bamboo basket on her body.

Aunt Zhou said, "I picked these apricots up the mountain with Erya and gave them to your family." Zhao rushed out again and smiled, "Auntie, these apricots are delicious, sour and sweet. Others snatched it for a long time and broke their fingers before taking it off."

Du Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, she thought about going to the mountain to see it in a few days, and it turned out that there were already people snatching apricots, but how could Daya Zhou be so kind as to give her a special trip for apricots?
Mrs. Zhao's face was indifferent, "How embarrassing, you should take it back." She really didn't have much affection for Mrs. Hong's family.

Zhou Daya's expression froze, but she quickly smiled again, "Auntie is fine, you can take it, we have apricots to eat at home. Erya and Xiaoyu are so good, what are these apricots?" Next week, Zhou Ya, "Didn't you say that Xiaoyu likes apricots, and now he picks them and doesn't talk?"

"Sister Xiaoyu, you, you can take it." Zhou Ya whispered, "I originally wanted to pick it alone, but the eldest sister knows, so come with me."

"Okay." Du Xiaoyu smiled, "I'll accept it."

Anyway, she saved Daya Zhou's life, so what if she took in an apricot, what else could she ask for?
Seeing that she accepted it, Daya Zhou was very happy, while Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly and went into the house.

Du Xiaoyu came over and took a few apricots, washed them in well water, and ate them. They were really delicious, juicy, soft and fragrant, and he handed them to Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Daya glanced at the row of houses, "Your second brother hasn't come back yet?"

Today is considered to be a day for the academy to rest, Du Xiaoyu looked at her coldly, "Don't try to get my second brother out, or I promise you will die ugly!"

Zhou Daya raised her hand, "Oh, I know, Xiaoyu, you are so smart, how dare I try to win over your brother again!" She rolled her eyes, "I also want to understand these days, your second brother I am Those who are not worthy, I just asked casually just now. Xiaoyu, you have a lot of ideas, I hope you can help me in the future!"

"Help you?" Hearing her words, Du Xiaoyu was stunned, and said for a while, "Do you still want me to help you find a good husband?"

"Yeah, Xiaoyu, you are really smart!" Zhou Daya leaned over and whispered, "My mother, you know, how could you really find a good marriage for me? It didn't work out last time, so maybe next time I will marry you." Maybe I’ll sell it to a brothel! Xiaoyu, you’re a good guy, do it to the end, help me find a way!”

Du Xiaoyu looked at her like an idiot, "Do you think I'm a god? I'm not your mother! As long as your mother doesn't really sell you, no one can stop her."

"Xiaoyu, I don't have too many requirements. I just need to find someone like your second brother..." She paused, "It's okay to be a little worse than your second brother."

Pooh!As the saying goes, one radish is one hole, it's better to be a down-to-earth person, Du Xiaoyu didn't bother to talk to her, and just ate apricots on her own, and only chatted with Zhou Ya who was beside her.

"Xiaoyu, won't you help Er Ya get married in the future?" Zhou Daya was unwilling.

Du Xiaoyu still ignored her.

Aunt Zhou stood up angrily and left.

"Erya, is she still bullying you now?"

Tuesday shook her head.

"No bullying?" Du Xiaoyu sighed secretly, Zhou Zhou, poor child, what should she do if she really wants to get married in the future, what can she do to help?
Zhou Ya raised her head and smiled, "Eldest sister is also suffering in her heart." She knew it since she was a child, every time Zhou Daya beat and scolded her mother, she would take it out on her and cry while beating and scolding her. Crying, they should all get used to such days.

Du Xiaoyu felt sad when she heard that, and reached out to stroke her head.

The two were speechless for a while.

In the afternoon, Du Wenyuan came back, followed by Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Qin.

"I just wanted to come to your house and ran into Wenyuan." Qin smiled and saw a lot of apricots as soon as he entered, "Oh, are these from the mountains?"

"It's a gift from the two sisters of the Zhou family. Auntie, come and taste it. It's delicious."

Mrs. Qin had already stuffed two into her mouth, and praised, "It's really good. No wonder the village sells it for five cents a catty. I think it's too expensive and I'm not willing to buy it."

"You are really the God of Wealth begging for food, pretending to be poor!" Aunt Wu squinted at her, "What's the matter, you want to buy a house in the county after holding on to the money so tightly?"

Qin said with a smile, "Eldest sister, you are still complaining that I lent you money, and you will be able to pay it back soon."

"Bah, don't make me sound so stingy. Sister Zhao, let me tell you, she is so reluctant to buy apricots. She bought a lot of piglets a few days ago and plans to raise pigs."

"Yo, you saw it?" Qin's eyes widened.

Mrs. Zhao was also surprised, "You want to raise pigs? How can you be so busy!"

"It's a big deal, please look at it. Our butchers always go to other places to buy pork. Isn't it cheaper for others? I discussed with my husband that it would be better to raise pigs by myself. Now it's about the same as selling one pig a day. Let's raise pigs and sell them ourselves. How wonderful." The more Qin said, the happier she became, "I bought six little piglets and four female ones, and it will be very convenient for your two families in the future."

The Qin family deserves to be clever, Du Xiaoyu secretly praised, she is afraid that if she raises pigs, she will have to compete with other farmers for wholesale pork business, now that she has a house in the county, she might fight with the pork sellers in the market It's a good relationship.

"It's really a troublemaker." Aunt Wu pointed at her and smiled, "It's because you make a lot of money!"

"There is something else I want to tell you today." The Qin family showed some hesitation, "There is an oil shop in the county, whose surname is Hu. Sister Wu should know that their second daughter is fifteen this year. She said yes. Seeing that Cheng'er is honest, able to endure hardships, and intends to get married, what do you think should be done?"

"The surname is Hu, I really know him." Aunt Wu said, "There are five children in their family, but his wife is not easy to get along with!"

"It looks very aggressive. I heard that she runs the oil shop by herself. I also went to see their second daughter. She looks good, tall and fair-skinned."

It can be seen that she is still very satisfied, Zhao said with a smile, "It's rare that there are still people who can catch your eye. It's time for your family, Cheng'er, to start a family, but if you're worried, just look again."

"I'm afraid the dowry is not cheap." Aunt Wu said, "There are still three unmarried boys in their family."

Mrs. Qin shook her head slightly, "Yeah, let's wait and see." The girl is good, but the couple surnamed Hu are from farming families, and they don't have any help at home, so she is still a little dissatisfied.

If this marriage was according to her original idea, she would never have considered it at all, but if her son doesn't start a family, he will be twenty!He didn't test his merits, and others only thought there was something wrong with him. Moreover, the husband at home was also in a hurry, and he had quarreled several times over this matter.

She sighed, life is unsatisfactory in all likelihood!
