A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

Cuizhi saw Yan Shu and his party out and thanked Yan Shu again. If it weren't for her, her son Dandan would be in bad luck.

"Sister Yan Shu, Yaya is right, you are really amazing, you can do everything." Chu Yuling said, touching Yaya's head.

"It's getting late, Yu Ling and we have packed up and gone back home. We have disturbed my sister for too long today." Liu Zhuo reminded her.

"It's okay. It's an honor for you to come."

"Then I will take you to the entrance of the village and ask you to say hello to the old lady for me."

Watching Liu Zhuo's carriage disappear into the locust forest at the entrance of the village, Yan Shu led Yaya to prepare to go home.

Before they had gone far, they heard loud noises.

"It's you. You rented my cows to plow the land, and you only worked without feeding them. My cows were exhausted to death by you!"

It turned out that Aunt Li's son Daniu was arguing with Ergouzi.

Ergouzi is also in a state of confusion:

"Your ox plows my land like eggplant beaten by frost. I don't give it food. It's because your ox is tired before you give it to me. It fell down from exhaustion before I even finished plowing my land. I Who can I talk to to reason with you?"

Da Niu was so angry that he couldn't speak. What Er Gouzi said was the truth.

The past two days have been busy with the autumn harvest, and the villagers all wanted to rush to plow their own land and loosen the soil.

There is an old cow in the village. At this time in previous years, the cow was working hard in different fields.

At that time, it was still very strong, but year after year of labor and whipping not only made its skin chapped and aged, but also broke its muscles and bones, and its spirit collapsed.

When Daniu and Ergouzi saw Yan Shu approaching, they both asked Yan Shu to comment.

"Brother Daniu, Brother Ergou, don't argue anymore."

"The problem now is to let the cow rest for a while, otherwise it will not be able to work anymore in its current state. Brother Ergou's land can only rest for two days."

Yan Shu could only say it to smooth things over.

"Mother, look at the cows and cows crying!"

Everyone's attention was focused on talking. When they turned around, they found that the old cow had curled up on the wild grass by the roadside.

"Don't just keep arguing, otherwise Niu Ke will be really exhausted!" Yan Shu advised.

The cow in front of me was skinny and bony, with two big eyes sunk deep into the sockets, and tears dripped from the corners of the eyes. The whole mental state is very bad.

When Lao Niu's dancing eyes met Yan Shu's, she couldn't help but feel sad.

He works hard all his life and has no choice but to wait for death when he is old and used up.

"No, no, I can't just reclaim the wasteland at the foot of the mountain and around the house. As a result, this hoeing tool has greatly liberated the labor force. The mayor's cow died of exhaustion in front of me. I have to find a way to solve the problem at hand. problem!"

"Brother Daniu, I think you should take the old cow home to rest first, and feed it some good food to rest and recover. Don't let it plow the fields recently."

Daniel is a farmer, but he doesn't have the taste for pity. Said bluntly:

"Sister Yan Shu, don't you know the life of a farmer? I am living on this cow. If it is not a cow, can I still plow the fields?"

"I'm just saying that you yourself mishandled the cow. You didn't let the cow off even if it was tired. You still have the nerve to blame others." Ergouzi also took the opportunity to slander him.

Yan Shu felt really anxious and angry. However, the cow belongs to someone else, and they do depend on the cow for food, so she has no right to force others to do what they want.

"But if the cows are exhausted, you won't have any cows anymore!" Yaya said innocently.

Still a child speaks directly and relieves his anger.

"How about this? You can talk about it in two days and I will think of a way to solve it."

Both Daniel and Ergouzi were in disbelief, as if they were crazy.

But they accepted Yan Shu's proposal instead, because all the recent events gave them some hope in Yan Shu!

As night fell, the old cow trudged toward the cowshed with its owner. From time to time, she looked back at Yan Shu and her daughter, as if begging for a way out.

"Mom, the cow is so pitiful, can we save it?"

"Yaya, you are such a kind and good child. Mother will definitely save it. At least it will not be tired from plowing this year."

Yan Shu's mind was a little confused. It was the first time she paid attention to people's livelihood issues so intuitively.

Huaishu Village does not have much land, nor a large population, and its overall productivity level is low. This cannot be changed in the short term in this era.

And what can she do on her own? Although she has some small spells, they can only solve her urgent needs.

After Yaya fell asleep deeply in her arms, she tucked in the sheets and got out of bed to find paper and pen.

In a short time, a prototype of an agricultural tool that looked like a mechanical plow was drawn on the rice paper.

According to Yan Shu's idea, the entire plow machine has a wooden structure and only needs iron for the plowshare.

Installing a device in the middle of the plow that automatically moves the wheel forward can solve the problem.

After the prototype was conceived, Yan Shu was so happy that she couldn't sleep.

With this self-service plowing machine, if it is promoted to every household, it can greatly save material and manpower and improve production efficiency.

What's more important is that farmers will no longer have disputes over the lack of oxen to plow their fields.

The next thing she needs to do is to go to the town tomorrow to find a carpenter to make the plow body according to the pattern.

In the next few days, Yan Shu was either communicating with the carpenter or discussing with the blacksmith.

Yaya and Egg Yolk also followed Yan Shu back and forth. After three days of continuous combination and testing, Yan Shu's automatic plowing machine finally took shape.

When Yan Shu used the donkey cart to pull the plow back to the village, she immediately attracted the attention of the villagers, men, women, and children.

"Sister Yan Shu, is this the countermeasure you mentioned? Can your wooden shovel really be so powerful that it can replace an ox in plowing the fields?" Daniel asked unconvinced.

Yan Shu said in front of everyone:

"I don't have the final say whether something is useful or not. You have to use it to know."

"Well, anyway, more than half of my land has not been plowed yet. Let's go to my land and try it first."

Ergouzi wanted to get a head start so that he wouldn't have to queue up when the plow was used.

Everyone followed Er Gouzi to his field and started using it according to Yan Shu's instructions.

Ergouzi held the wooden frame with both hands, inserted the shovel in front of him into the soil, and began to push forward.

At this time, there were exclamations from the crowd.

"Hey, look. This plow is really moving. The soil in front of it is easily dug out by the shovel!"

"It doesn't feel too tiring for people to operate like this. It's much easier than plowing the fields with oxen and having to steer from behind. This is really a good tool."

"Yanshu, you are so awesome. You can actually think of such a good thing and make it."

After Ergouzi plowed twice, he put down the machine and shouted to everyone:

"This thing is really good, it saves effort and is convenient!"

Everyone clapped their hands and applauded. They all asked Yan Shu to rent her plow to turn over the soil.

"Folks, don't worry, today I'm just going to use this tool for a field test."

"Since Brother Ergou has used it, he thinks it saves time and effort. I will make a few more in the next two days. Folks in need can buy or rent them. The price is absolutely reasonable."

The villagers were eager to try it. Because everyone wants to have a tool to help farmers at home, so that the owner does not have to ask the west to find cattle!
