Huo Yunchao was not only focusing on cultivating a relationship with Xu Ning these days. Xu Ning was a hard-working person who couldn't take any time off. He followed Xu Ning around the village and learned about the crop planting situation in Pingle Village.

During the Dasheng Dynasty, sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes had not yet been introduced. The main crops were rice, wheat, soybeans, and sorghum.

Pingle Village’s paddy fields account for 60%, used to grow rice, and the remaining 40% are dry land, used to grow wheat and soybeans.

Sorghum is mainly used to make wine. Sorghum is grown by landowners with lots of wineries and fertile land.

The wine-making process is complicated, and one winery is the only one, so the wine is expensive.

Earlier, in order to thank Huo Yunchao for his righteous words, Butcher Xu gave him a small jar of wine that weighed two kilograms and cost one hundred cents!

Calculated, the price of the jar of wine is fifty cents per catty, while a pound of fine pork belly only costs twenty cents. The comparison between the two is enough to show how valuable the wine is.

Huo Yunzhao discovered that rice diseases and insect pests had occurred a few days ago. He knew that his words were unfounded, and he was thinking about how to persuade his father to try using tea drying liquid to control rice diseases and insect pests.

The original person had never been to the fields. He only cared about his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never cared about the crops in the fields. If Huo Yunchao wanted to convince Huo Tianxiang to prevent and control rice diseases and insect pests as he said, he had to do it slowly.

Huo Tianxiang didn't know Huo Yunchao's psychological activities at all, but his eldest son had a unicycle performance. He was very excited: "Chao'er, does the ancient book teach us how to make Cha Ku liquid?"

"Have."

In order to win Huo Tianxiang's trust, Huo Yunzhao endorsed the book fluently: "Dad, the ancient book says that you should grind the tea cake into powder and soak it in warm water for a day and night. The book also says that one pound of tea cake can be mixed with twenty or thirty pounds of tea liquid.

water and then spray it on the rice. "

Huo Tianxiang was a little skeptical at first, but hearing that Huo Yunchao recited it so smoothly, his doubts were dispelled: "When I get home after washing my hair, I will soak the tea cakes in water!"

Huo Yunchao believed that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. He did not give Huo Tianxiang a chance to delay. He told the truth: "Dad, I have brewed three kilograms of tea liquid. We will spray the tea liquid on the rice together. Today, we will spray it tomorrow." I don’t know if it’s useful anymore.”

"Sure! Give it a try!"

Huo Tianxiang agreed simply.

There is a rice field that is seriously infested with diseases and insect pests, and the dead horse is treated as a living horse. If the tea drying liquid is really effective, the rice production will not decrease but will increase.

Huo Yunchao was in a good mood after being recognized. He grinned and said, "Dad, your hair is done. You bend down and I'll rinse it for you."

Listening to the joyful voice of his eldest son, Huo Tianxiang felt happy and sad at the same time.

He was happy that Huo Yunchao had thought better of it and stopped trying to get into trouble. What was sad was that he was not a capable father, which made the eldest son who loved reading so much have to marry into the Xu family in order to continue studying.

Huo Tianxiang and Huo Yunchao staged a drama of "Father and Son Love" by the river, but there were unharmonious sounds at home.

Since the day he was hired, Huo Yunchao took the initiative to give half of his bride price to Chen. Mrs. Chen could no longer dislike him and tried her best to arrange the marriage for him.

The appearance of the wheelbarrow has saved a lot of face for the Huo family to a great extent.

Listening to the outsiders' praise of Huo Yunchao, Mrs. Chen suddenly felt bright and said to her two sons: "Ze'er Hai'er, the unicycle your eldest brother came up with is light, flexible and very practical. The most important thing is that the craftsmanship of this unicycle is Unique to our family, you two brothers

You must learn the craft from your father and earn more money so that you can marry a wife and have children. "

Unexpectedly, Huo Yunhai frowned and said: "Mom, dad clearly worked hard to make the wheelbarrow. Big brother is just talking next to him..."

Before Huo Yunhai could finish what he said, Huo Yunze angrily said, "Third brother, where did you learn those bastard words? It was my eldest brother who came up with the idea of ​​the unicycle. Dad and I were able to successfully make the unicycle by following his instructions!" If it weren't for the guidance of my eldest brother, who would have come up with such a useful unicycle? Mom, please teach your third brother well and let him know what it means to work together to make a difference, and don't let your eldest brother's heart be chilled!"

Huo Yunhai was rarely scolded by his compatriot Huo Yunze, and with tears in his eyes: "But, the people who put in the most effort are my father and my second brother. Why do everyone only praise my brother? Even my father only praises my brother and never his second brother." One sentence."

Mrs. Chen's nose felt sore, thinking of the harm Huo Tianxiang's favoritism towards Huo Yunchao had brought to her two sons, she felt very sad: "Haier, don't blame your father. Your eldest brother lost his mother before he could crawl. Your father took care of you." Big brother, it hurts like an eyeball. Your big brother has a father who hurts you, and you have a mother who hurts you."

Huo Yunhai moved his lips and wanted to ask, "Aren't my second brother and I my father's biological sons?" But before he could say anything, Huo Yunze glared at him fiercely. He didn't dare to say anything anymore and started sobbing softly.

Seeing his brother so sad, Huo Yunze felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he could see clearly: "Third brother, don't try to get into trouble. Open your hand and take a look. There are long and short fingers. Dad's is the longest one." Root is the eldest brother, and the second eldest is you. You and your mother and I love you."

Huo Yunhai brought

She cried and said, "I'm not trying to get the best of you, I'm trying to save you for my second brother! It's obvious that your second brother is smarter and more filial than your eldest brother, so dad should send you to study!"

As soon as she said these heart-wrenching words, Chen's mood fluctuated so much that she covered her face and cried: "Haier, if you want to blame me, blame my mother for not being able to support your second brother's education."

She never dared to expect Huo Tianxiang to support Huo Yunze in his studies, and she never dared to think about it.

Hearing his brother's words of grievance for him, Huo Yunze was filled with sadness. He sniffed and said, "Mom, third brother, don't cry. Aren't you saying that I'm smarter and capable of doing anything than my eldest brother? I'll learn the craft from my father first, and then wait. After I earn enough money to study, I will go to school to study with the Master and become literate."

The first time Ms. Chen heard Huo Yunze say that she wanted to study, she burst into tears, and her blurred vision could not clearly see Huo Yunze's expression.

Huo Yunhai hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that since his eldest brother married into the Xu family, why didn't his father allow his second brother to study?

Huo Yunze patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, dad has worked hard for most of his life to support his eldest brother in his studies. I can't bear to let dad work so hard anymore."

He has a pure and filial nature and cannot bear to burden his old father anymore.

Huo Yunhai was speechless when he thought of Huo Tianxiang's gray hair, rickety body and calloused palms.

Mrs. Chen wept silently as she listened to the conversation between her two sons. The more capable and sensible Huo Yunze was, the more heartache he felt: "Haier, are you really willing to let your second brother study?"

Huo Yunhai: "Yes! My second brother has a good memory and memorizes quickly. If he can go to school to study, he will definitely succeed in the future! If I were not too young and couldn't make money, I would like to support my second brother's education!"

His second brother is so smart and filial, it would be a pity not to go to school

The.

Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and said, "The Xu family sent me 20 taels of betrothal money before. Your eldest brother said that I would be given 10 taels of silver, but your father didn't take away the 10 taels of silver. If you don't object, Hai'er, the 10 taels of silver will be used for it." For your second brother to study."
