Fish Leaping Farm Gate

54 Threat
Of the four acres of fertile land, one acre is set to grow cold melons, and the other three acres of land Mrs. Zhao decided to plant cotton after discussing with Mrs. Wu, but the cotton has to be sown in April, so I plan to plant some commonly used vegetables, and then eat and sell by myself Selling does not waste land.

Du Xiaoyu thought it would be good to plant cotton, which is the same as rice and wheat. It will not lose money after all, because although this thing has a short history, under the encouragement of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it has been widely planted throughout the country. There are also many experienced people. Mrs. Wu's family planted a lot last year, and the harvest is probably good, so they also persuaded Zhao to try.

At the same time, the cold melon seeds had grown complete young leaves, a little faster than she expected. It seemed that they could be transplanted before Du Wenyuan left for Jinan Fucheng.

"Xiaoyu, can you plant cold melons soon?" Mrs. Qin walked in from outside the yard with a smile, "The land must be searched well, and cattle can be borrowed from our house at any time."

"Okay, thank you, auntie." Recently, I don't know if it's because Du Huanghua wants to learn Su embroidery, anyway, the Qin family is quite frequent.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao and Du Xian were not at home, Mrs. Qin pulled her to whisper, "Xiao Yu, how is your sister's business?"

Du Xiaoyu glanced at her, "I'll go to school after March, what's wrong, you can't wait?"

"Look at what you said." The Qin family really didn't treat her like a little girl, and said confidantly, "Let me tell you the truth, if your sister becomes Mrs. Wan's favorite student, your family will be closer to the Wan family. Is it? I heard from your mother that their nephew comes here often, and he is also very close to your second brother, isn't he? "

"So what?" Du Xiaoyu thought in her heart that she was far-sighted, and couldn't help joking, "Master Wan runs a medicine shop, do you want to get involved in feelings?"

"Oh, you girl is sometimes stupid." Qin Shi poked her on the head, "Think about it, Mr. Wan can speak in front of the county magistrate. If something happens in the future, it will be convenient. too much?"

The ambition is really great, and she wanted to curry favor with the county magistrate. Du Xiaoyu snorted, "Don't even think about taking advantage of my sister."

"How come, I also love Huanghua. It's not that you don't know, but just remind you, since you can go to Wanjia to learn Su embroidery, you have to respect Mrs. Wan." Qin finished the important words and left.

Du Xiaoyu didn't think much about it. This person's utilitarianism is not necessarily a bad thing. They all say that one more friend has multiple paths, but as far as that suggestion is concerned, it is completely nonsense. If she doesn't remind her, does it mean that Du Huanghua doesn't respect Mrs. Wan? Yet?As for Master Wan, he looks good anyway, and she originally wanted to establish a good relationship.

On the second day, Du Xian looked at the cold melon seedlings, said that they would be removed in two days, and then went to the field to fertilize, and Du Xiaoyu followed.

The fields have already been made, and they are the flat ones that Beidong Village often adopts. Du Xiaoyu had an opinion when he saw it, "Father, why don't you make the furrows higher? If this year is the same as three years ago, you can't make the furrows higher." The roots are rotting again?" A furrow is a crop planting area divided by soil ridges, ditches or walkways, which is very important and needs to be adjusted according to local conditions.

Du Xian laughed, "Yo, you also understand this?"

"Of course, I don't read for nothing." Du Xiaoyu said seriously, "Father, I'm not joking. If this watermelon is not planted well, I will definitely not agree to planting any kind of watermelon in the future, so I must not Something happened. Dad, should we raise the bed a little bit? If there is a lot of rain, it will be easier to drain, and we have a water truck here anyway, or even if we draw water from the well, there will never be any shortage of water."

Hearing her analysis was clear and logical, Du Xian slapped his thigh, "I really didn't expect this, I'll reorganize now."

Du Xiaoyu was not idle either, she rolled up her sleeves and got busy with her father.

Zhao at home saw that there was no one at noon, so she asked her eldest daughter to go to the field to have a look. It turned out that the two people over there were working hard, and the trouser legs were full of mud. Du Huanghua hurriedly stepped forward and took Du Xiaoyu Pick it up, "Be careful it's freezing, put on your coat quickly, I'll get it here."

"That's right, she didn't listen when she was told to go back. Your sister is here now, why don't you stop?" Du Xian also babbled.

"It's okay, I'll do it too, let's see how good the pile is." Du Xiaoyu patted the long border behind him, and dug up with a small shovel.

"Isn't it that you always hate this and that, and now you're not afraid of being dirty?" Du Huanghua also squatted down.

Du Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, "That's different, I'm going to plant this cold melon." How can I do it without doing it myself?
"I really think that I am the one who makes the decisions." Seeing her seriousness, Du Huanghua couldn't help laughing and saying a few words.

Du Xiaoyu didn't raise the bar either, who told me that he hasn't grown up yet, hey, he should eat more, only when he grows taller can he look like an adult, and he doesn't have to be questioned when he speaks.

"Father, let's go back to eat later, mother is waiting." Du Huanghua said.

The three of them piled up mud and went back. Du Xiaoyu washed his hands, changed his clothes, ran to the cowshed, and waved to Du Wenyuan who was at the door, "Second brother, come here."

"What are you going to do there after dinner?" Du Wenyuan asked.

"Bring over the sickle on the ground," she added.

Du Wenyuan felt even more strange, but he did as she said.

Du Xiaoyu stood upright against a wooden post under the cowshed, "Come on, carve a mark on top of my head." When she grew up, she saw this kind of scene on TV and always wanted to learn it. This time, she finally got her wish. , and it’s interesting to see how tall it can grow every year.

"On top of the head?" Du Wenyuan frowned, "What is this for?"

"It's fun. You see, today is February [-]th. If you carve a mark on the [-]th next year, you will know how much a year has grown." She blinked.

Du Wenyuan grinned, "Then don't move." It seems that she really wants to grow taller, but she is indeed a bit short.

He took a step forward and immediately blocked all the sunlight. Du Xiaoyu gestured with his hand and found that he had just reached his chest. How tall is 1.8 meters?Tsk tsk, with this face and the name of a poet, I don't know how many girls are fascinated!It's no wonder that Zhou Daya is trying her best, but why hasn't she come recently? Could it be that she really gave up last time?

"What are you thinking about? It's finished." Du Wenyuan took her hand, "Go eat, or mother will come out to look for it."

The two hurried into the house, and the dishes were already set on the table. Unexpectedly, the family had just eaten a few bites when they heard footsteps outside.

"Are you eating? Oh, it's early."

"Second, second brother?" Seeing that person, Du Xian was stunned for a moment. Even if he was killed, he would never have thought that Du Tang would actually come to their house, "You, what are you doing here?"

Du Tang was carrying a bundle in his hand, and he said with a smile, "What are you doing here? Brother, can't you see elder brother?"

"You are not welcome in our family, you go!" Mrs. Zhao put down her chopsticks and issued an order to evict guests.

When has Du Tang been afraid of this family, he didn't react at all, he found a stool and sat down on his own, "I haven't seen you for a long time, sister-in-law still has such a temper! This is not very good, what if my elder brother is involved? You know that too , He can’t fight, he can’t fight, can’t he? Even if he doesn’t implicate the elder brother, there’s still my elder nephew.” He said and looked at Du Wenyuan, “Why don’t you come to see my mother-in-law recently?”

Du Wenyuan also lowered his face, "If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude."

There are many people in the family, and the bomb can blow people out!
Du Tang stood up again, and slapped the bag on the stool he was sitting on just now, "There are dozens of taels of silver here, and those who are sensible can accept it."

Du Xian was stunned again, "What do we need your money for?"

"What to do? There are many things you can do with money, such as going to other villages, or to other towns. This money is enough for you to spend most of your life, so you don't have to work hard here." He laughed twice. , "Brother, how about it, look how much I think about you! It is your blessing to have such a younger brother."

Du Xiaoyu vomited blood, did Du Tang's brain break?Otherwise, come and give the money well, and then drive them away?
Mrs. Zhao picked up a bowl and threw it at him, "Get out, get out!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be annoyed." Although Du Tang smiled, but his face was ferocious, "It's okay if you don't leave, but I don't care about what happens in the future. At this point, I can listen to you or not." and go.

Seeing him leave, the room was very quiet for a while.

It was Du Huanghua who spoke first, "Did you go crazy after getting drunk?"

"I think it is." Du Xian said hastily, "he hangs out with a bunch of people all day long, eating, drinking and having fun, maybe he said these crazy things when he was drunk." He picked up the bag of money, "I'll give it back .” He left in a hurry.

Mrs. Zhao was restless, and felt a sense of uneasiness.

Du Xiaoyu also felt the same way, Du Tang was not drunk just now, he was clearly sober, she recalled those words, and suddenly realized that he was a naked threat, threatening their family to leave Beidong Village!But why?She glanced at Du Wenyuan, was it because she was afraid that he would be admitted as a scholar and rob his family property?
Are you too unconfident?She took a deep breath, or was it because of what happened over there, or because of her grandmother?

Anyway, this meal can't be eaten well.

After Du Xian came back, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly asked how it was.

"I've already returned it, and I didn't say anything." Du Xian concealed the fact that Du Tang's eyes were really scary.

"I always feel that something is wrong." Zhao said worriedly, "You Du family members are becoming more and more disrespectful!"

"Why do you call us the Du family?" Du Xian hurriedly put aside the relationship, "I have never visited my mother in these years, just for that birthday, you should know that if you don't have this idea, I will definitely not go back, Wen Yuan Nor will it."

Hearing his loyalty, Mrs. Zhao sighed. She didn't know when this day would end. Did she really have to move out of Beidong Village to avoid those people?But she is not reconciled to that!
Tossing and turning that night turned out to be a nightmare.
