The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Lunch is extra jelly, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and fish-flavored eggplant stew. With enough ingredients and Lin Xiazhi's craftsmanship, the family is very satisfied.

When Lin Xiazhi was making lunch, Lin Chengzu went out to buy sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes in the village cost two cents a catty, and he also helped to deliver them home for free. Lin Chengzu bought [-] catties in one go, enough to cook for more than ten days.

Because making sweet potatoes requires a fire, the firewood at home seemed to be insufficient. After lunch, Lin Chengzu and Lin Huzi went up the mountain to cut firewood regardless of the scorching sun.

Lin Xiazhi stayed at home to process the sweet potatoes, and Li Xiu was arranged by Lin Xiazhi to make clothes. They would have to deliver goods to Jufulou every day, and Lin Xiazhi hadn't let go of their own business, so they couldn't just wear patched clothes all the time.

Because the family will not set up a food stall for the time being, Lin Xiazhi thinks about Li Xiu's future arrangements. Farming is too tiring, why don't he make some handcrafts and sell them in the market?

In her previous life, Lin Xiazhi learned how to weave a lot of knots in order to please her mother. Girls like these little things very much. Presumably the brothers here are also the same, so they don't worry about not being able to sell them.

Li Xiu is dexterous, and the clothes he makes are not bad. Some of the patches on the clothes look good. He thinks that if Li Xiu is really talented in this area, he can spend money to let him learn embroidery. In the future, he will be good at making patterns or ready-made clothes. But the embroidered fabric is fine, and his hands, which are rough from doing farm work, need to be taken care of.

Lin Xiazhi kept these thoughts in mind, and bought some ropes when the goods were delivered tomorrow, and weaved a batch of hand ropes to test the water.

The life of the second room of the Lin family is prosperous and prosperous, but the life of the first room is not so good.

It has been a few days since we separated, and the crops in the paddy fields have not been watered for a few days, and the sun is shining again. The soil is exposed in many places, and the rice stalks have also visibly wilted to the naked eye. obvious.

However, old man Lin and youngest Lin were still taken care of by Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu as before, and they completely forgot about it, let alone Uncle Lin and Liu Chunhua. Old man Lin didn't know about it until he heard about it from his neighbors. The rice has been seedling.

Seeing the rice in the field, old man Lin felt very distressed. He blamed the second child's family in his heart, why they didn't know how to do things in the field after they separated.

Thinking that a large amount of rice in the field would be lost due to lack of watering these days, old man Lin walked towards the thatched cottage at the head of the village angrily.

In the afternoon, only Lin Xiazhi and Li Xiu were at home. He and Li Xiu locked the door before working in the kitchen.

The weather was hot along the way, and old man Lin was so angry that he was about to suffer from internal injuries. When he went to the thatched cottage and saw the closed door, he slammed the door loudly: "Second brother, from the second family, come out for me. ?”

Lin Xiazhi was peeling sweet potatoes in the house with his aunt, and was startled by old man Lin's voice, and almost cut his hand.

Lin Xiazhi hurriedly asked Li Xiu to wash her hands and go back to the room. He took out two prepared wooden boards and a roll of cloth strips, daubed some blue-purple paint on Li Xiu's legs, and wrapped the boards with cloth strips: "Ah, if grandpa comes in later, just pretend to be asleep and don't talk."

He went to close the kitchen again, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the house, Lin Xiazhi went to open the door a crack.

"Grandfather, why are you here? It's not yet the beginning of the month, isn't it the day to give pension money?" Lin Xiazhi hid behind the door defensively, and didn't open the door to let old man Lin in.

Judging by the strength with which Old Man Lin knocked on the door, the visitor was not kind.Lin Xiazhi is not stupid, if old man Lin is allowed to come in, there is no telling what will happen to the family, now that the family has been separated, there is no need for him to pretend to be obedient in front of old man Lin.

Seeing Lin Xiazhi who opened the door for him looked defensive, old man Lin was so angry that his temples throbbed.

"That's the attitude when you see Grandpa. How did your father teach you?" Old Man Lin roared, "Open the door quickly and call your father out."

"Father is not here. My elder brother said that they are not at home. I can't open the door casually. It will be bad if I meet bad people." Lin Xiazhi said in a heartfelt way. Seeing the old man Lin's distraught appearance, he felt a sense of relief, calling you At first I was punished to kneel.

"Who do you say is a bad guy!" Old man Lin's face flushed red, he was almost pissed off.

"Of course it doesn't mean that grandpa is a bad person, it's just that my father and elder brother have gone out, and grandma fell asleep after falling on his leg. I'm the only one in the house now, so just be careful." Lin Xiazhi pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.

This trick was learned from old man Lin, as long as the window paper is not pierced, it doesn't matter what you say, it depends on how you understand it.

"Go out? Where did you go? There are so many jobs at home and I don't know what to do, what are you going to do!" Old man Lin was so angry that he wanted to jump at the door.

Lin Xiazhi saw that he was only thinking of no one to do the farm work in the field, and he didn't care about Er'er Fulang who fell on his leg, which shows the position of Erfang in Old Man Lin's heart.

It's been so many days since the family separated and I haven't seen old man Lin and youngest Lin come to see him. They only come here to take advantage of him when they have work to do. Who should be fooled?

"Grandpa, daddy and elder brother went out after finishing their housework, so what else is there to do?" Lin Xiazhi continued to pretend not to understand.

"Why not? I haven't done any work in the paddy field!" Old man Lin said confidently.

"Pfft, you are ashamed to say this, this family is divided, and those fields belong to the uncle, why do you want our family to do it? I have never heard of any family that will help the separated brothers every day. Make people laugh." Lin Xiazhi said unceremoniously, "You can do it, just pay the money according to the hired labor, and we must not let outsiders think that our family is unclear, Grandpa, you say so."

"You, you..." Old man Lin pointed at Lin Xiazhi, his hands shaking with anger.

"Grandpa, don't shake it. It's still early for my dad and the others to come back. I think you should go back first. I'll tell him what you mean when my dad comes back, okay?" Lin Xia Zhi was too lazy to entangle with old man Lin, he had already made it very clear, anyway, he would not do white work for Da Fang's family, and if he had no money, he would be pulled down, whatever he liked.

"Tell the second child, tell him to come see me as soon as he comes back." Old man Lin was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Lin Xiazhi, who didn't know what to do, would get mad at him, so he turned around and left after saying this.

When the two were talking, Lin Xiazhi hid behind the door the whole time, and the old man Lin didn't realize it until he had walked a long way, and he felt depressed for a while.

Lin Xiazhi didn't bother to care whether the old man Lin, who was angry in the second room, would go back and vent his anger on the big room's family. He closed the door and went back to work in the kitchen. He just started making five catties of jelly, and he was busy this afternoon.

Before Lin Huzi and the others came back, Li Xiu looked at Lin Xiazhi several times, hesitating to speak, with a troubled expression on his face.

It's a pity that Li Xiu has been used to being a steamed stuffed bun all his life, and he doesn't know how to express his opinion to his second son. Seeing Lin Xiazhi working hard, he has no choice but to work hard himself.

Lin Xiazhi was actually depressed, he probably guessed what his aunt wanted to say, the conflict between him and old man Lin just now was so obvious that everyone could hear it.But as long as Li Xiu doesn't open his mouth, he will pretend he didn't see it. There will be a long time to come, so he can't always guess what Li Xiu is thinking.

Without saying a word, the speed of doing things on hand increased. The two quickly scooped the prepared jelly into the clay pot, and then put the clay pot in the water tank to cool down, which means that today's task has been completed.

Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu came down the mountain with a large bundle of firewood on their backs, and they also carried a dead branch in their hands.

Generally, when villagers go up the mountain to find firewood, they will move down the mountain as soon as they encounter a dead tree. One is to take it home as firewood, and the other is to prevent the dead branches from burning up and causing mountain fires.

Lin Huzi was chopping firewood at the door, and Lin Xiazhi pulled Lin Chengzu to talk about the old man Lin's visit, and see how to deal with it.

A trace of irritability flashed in Lin Chengzu's eyes, he closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry about Grandpa's side. From now on, Father and I will not be at home. You and Grandma should lock the door, and you don't need to open the door inside."

Speaking of this, Lin Chengzu felt that the thatched cottage was still not safe in terms of safety. There was not even a fence, and anyone who came here could enter the house, or buy a dog to watch the house after a while.

Old man Lin had been waiting for Lin Huzi to make amends that day, but he didn't expect him to wait until it was dark, and he didn't even get a figure. Now that he couldn't see and couldn't go out, he had to give up, and couldn't sleep well all night.

The next day, Lin Chengzu was worried that the old man Lin would come to make trouble early, so he took jelly on his back and went to the county to deliver goods before dawn.

Before going out, Lin Xiazhi said that he wanted to weave a hand rope, and showed Lin Chengzu the hand rope he made out of strips of cloth, and asked Lin Chengzu to bring some rope when he came back.

Yesterday, Lin Xiazhi gave 20 taels of silver for the fish-flavored eggplant stew in Jufulou. Tentatively, [-] catties of eggplant per day, and [-] to [-] catties of other fresh vegetables, the price was [-]% less than the market price.

The price given by Jufulou was within Lin Xiazhi's prediction, so Lin Chengzu agreed and started serving dishes from tomorrow.

After talking about supplying vegetables, Lin Chengzu brought a basket of eggs he exchanged in the village to see Lin Ancheng: "Uncle, these are eggs exchanged at home. I will use them to nourish Cheng'er's body."

Lin Ancheng's illness gradually got better after he got ginseng. Although his complexion was still not very good, he was able to walk around the ground twice, and Lin Chengzu finally felt relieved.

Zhou Xiaozhu didn’t accept the eggs, and offered 20 taels of silver to Lin Chengzu, but Lin Chengzu didn’t want it. Now that Lin Ancheng’s illness is not cured, he still needs a lot of money to see a doctor. Don’t worry about paying back the money, and wait until the family gets better in the future. Not too late.

In the end, Zhou Xiaozhu not only did not return the money, but also accepted the eggs. When he learned that Lin Chengzu wanted to buy rope, he recommended him to go to Jinxiuyuan to buy it. Although the things in Jinxiuyuan are not the cheapest, their products are the most reliable and there will be no shortage. Two pounds less, shoddy.

The price of Jinxiuyuan’s rope is not low. The red one is the most popular, so the most expensive one is five cents per meter, and one roll is 40 meters, which is two hundred cents. In addition, I also bought green, yellow, blue, black and white ropes. Ropes, these are four pennies a meter cheaper than red ropes, and they cost a tael of silver in total.
