The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Shen Gouzi lowered his head listlessly, and stood in front of Shen Ling. Shen Ling sat in the room with his legs crossed, looked at Shen Gouzi standing outside, and took a sip of tea, "Do you know what's wrong with me?"

Shen Gouzi looked resentful at being humiliated, raised his head and stared fiercely at Shen Ling, and cursed in a hoarse voice: "You wait for me, dare to sue me, and see if I can't kill you in the future."

"Oh, I'm so scared! Since you are so unwilling, I don't dare to take a guy like you. I'll go and tell Lizheng that you, Gouzi Shen, don't want to work with me. It looks even worse. I believe Lizheng will be more satisfied if he wants to do hard labor and build dams hundreds of miles away. After all, no one is willing to build dams, right? But our village still wants to send people there, I see you Just right."

"You!" Shen Gouzi gasped with anger, but he still didn't dare to say any more. Repairing the embankment would cost half his life, so he didn't want to go.

"Now, do you know what's wrong with you?" Shen Ling smiled.

"You...you...I shouldn't have stolen your duck." Shen Gouzi gritted his teeth.

Shen Ling nodded, "That's right! Come here, take the medicine." Shen Ling handed the pills on the plate in front of him to Shen Gouzi.

"You still want to poison me!" Shen Gouzi's eyes widened.

"It doesn't take so much trouble to poison you, why don't you just buy a pack of rat poison to cure your throat," Shen Ling said.It seemed that his voice was still beaten like this.

Shen Gouzi looked distrustful, "It's fine if you don't give me poison, but also to cure the disease, who did you ask for the medicine! I'm going to ask who is the name, to see if you are so kind. "

"I prescribed it myself, can't I? I'll try the medicine on you to see if my medicine can kill a dead person. It's better if you don't die if you take it. If you take it, I will pay for your life."

"cut……"

"Do you want to eat? If you don't eat, you'll go to labor for me." Shen Ling said.

Shen Gouzi's body froze for a moment. After thinking about it, Shen Er should not be insane because a few ducks will kill him. Moreover, if there is a problem with eating, he will ask Shen Er to take responsibility. At that time, Li Zheng will also help Not Shen Er, he eats whatever he eats, he's not afraid anyway, besides, his throat just rested at home for a while, and he doesn't have the spare money to go to the doctor, so he can only take care of it slowly, he doesn't want his throat to be like this all the time!What if Shen Er really gave medicine for throat?

Thinking of this, Shen Gouzi walked over and snatched the pill from Shen Ling's hand, swallowed it down, a bitter herbal smell filled his mouth, and he couldn't help frowning, his expression almost distorted, "Okay bitter!"

"The good medicine tastes bitter." Shen Ling said, he didn't say that he specially added a few bitter medicines, and it was not for curing his throat, but purely to punish him.

"Do you know what kind of work you want to do?" Seeing that he had eaten, Shen Ling returned to the topic.

"I don't know." Shen Gouzi said, but the next moment, he couldn't help reaching out and touching his throat. It seemed that it didn't hurt so much when he spoke. Is it really a good medicine?

Shen Ling didn't seem to notice what was wrong with Shen Gouzi, and continued: "To be honest, I really don't expect you to work, and I'm afraid that you'll plant all my fruit trees to death for me. From now on, you only need to take care of my yard. , just don’t let people steal it. Usually, you can do whatever you like. You are not expected to stay in the yard every day, but you should remember one thing. If I have fewer things in the future, it will be your responsibility. You will pay for all the money, including the money for the duck this time, you know?"

"Then how long will I have to work, and you only have one tael of silver, and you still expect me to help you look after the yard for a lifetime?" Shen Gouzi shrugged.

"I won't let you work. It's just for looking at it. A hundred yuan a month is not low! A tael of silver is a thousand yuan. Let's work for ten months first! Is there any problem?"

Shen Gouzi thought about it, and he was not allowed to go to work, as long as his things were not stolen. To be honest, he knew all the petty thieves in ten miles and eight villages, so he just said hello. Nodded, "Don't go back on your word."

"Don't worry, I won't regret it." Shen Ling turned around and took out a wooden box of pills, and handed it to Shen Gouzi, "One a day, after taking it, you'll be fine."

Shen Gouzi thought for a while, then took it silently, "When did you learn to prescribe medicine? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Self-taught! I can read and write, but can't read medical books? I have a lot of medical books at home now, and I read them every day."

Shen Gouzi didn't know what ordinary scholars were like, but he felt that what Shen Ling seemed to say was very strong, and it seemed to be true, so he subconsciously squeezed the wooden box in his hand, his throat was already I felt a little better, and there was no problem with taking medicine, which was much more useful than the folk remedies my mother didn't know where I heard it from. "Then go."

"Let's go!" Shen Ling waved his hand.

Shen Ling asked the villagers to buy another batch of ducks, but he didn't worry about it.His reputation in the village has been getting better and better recently. Many people are willing to deal with him. Even people in the town know him and are willing to do business with him. Some people even come to ask Shen Ling if he wants chickens. Shen Ling Thinking that he still has some money in his hand, he thought about buying another piece of wasteland, even the land in a neighboring village, and then raising some chickens. Of course, he also wanted to buy some small fish fry to raise in the pond. There is a pond in the wasteland, but no one sells fish fry, and no one in this world raises fish for a living, so Shen Ling can only give up for the time being, buy some turtles and small fish and throw them in, but there are not many , be regarded as bulk buying.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Mu Wu and the others went back after planting the fruit trees. After finishing such a heavy and tiring job, these people didn't seem to have any complaints. Mu Wu still had a smiling attitude There was no change, Shen Ling didn't care about them, but he was still surprised that Mu Wu was really good at managing people, and he was very thoughtful, working as a coolie in a place where the master couldn't see, he was happy all day without any complaints He is really good at managing people, but it's a pity that Mu Wu must be a servant of the Mu family's family, so he can't poach corners at all.

At the end of January, the scholar's exam will also be held. Only then did Shen Ling know that the Tongsheng's exam and the Xiucai's exam were held at the same time. It was said that to prevent cheating, those who could pass the Tongsheng exam had to rush to take the exam that day. Scholars, this also greatly reduces the situation of someone taking the exam for Tongsheng. After all, there are too many people in the exam for Tongsheng, and many of them are taking the exam for the first time, so there is no file font to compare.

Shen Ling rushed to the city to sign up, got back the wooden card for taking the exam, and then returned home. Han Shi had just returned from the chicken yard, blushing with exhaustion.Shen Ling greeted him, "Didn't you already hire someone to take care of the yard and take care of the chickens and ducks, why do you have to go by yourself! How tired!"

"I'm just going to have a look, in case the feeding is not good!"

"If he doesn't feed well, I won't pay him." Shen Ling said, he bought a piece of land a few days ago, which is a high slope. The land is good, the average area is large, and there is no gravel affecting the cultivation, but Because it is a high slope, watering is not easy, and even if it rains, it is difficult to store water, so it has been left unused, and no one has planted it. After he bought it, he raised chickens, and the weeds inside were not treated. Pecking by chickens, I also hired a man with a broken arm in the village to take care of him, help feed the chickens, make chicken coops, don’t pursue progress, the kind that works slowly, and by the way supervise the progress of building earth walls around the high slope .

This time, the area of ​​the high slope is a bit big, with more than ten acres of land, covered with weeds and not a single taller tree, and he is not afraid that the chickens will fly to the trees when they grow wings. Shen Ling has raised nearly a thousand chickens. It is a chicken, and it is still releasing news to the outside world, saying that it will continue to buy chickens and ducks.He felt that in such a large place, regardless of the issue of environmental pollution, it would be no problem for him to raise four to five thousand chickens, but the earthen walls must be built higher. Without wings, they may all be able to jump higher than humans.

Han Shi lowered his head and did not speak.

"You!" Shen Ling touched Han Shi's head, "By the way, I got the wooden sign to enter the examination room, and I will go to the examination in a few days."

Han Shi suddenly raised his head with a look of surprise.

"Hey, when I come back, I will give you a child's exam."

Han Shi thought of something again, lowered his head, Shen Ling already knew what the child was thinking, and said helplessly: "I said I won't be an official, let alone want you, why am I worrying about this all day long."

"I don't even have a child." Han Shi rubbed his feet on the ground coyly, and Shen Ling was almost choked to death by his own saliva. Isn't it a good thing not to be pregnant? !

To be honest, Shen Ling still felt deep down that he still needed some time to accept the setting of a man being pregnant, and the little stone was still small!He is still young!Not at all the best childbearing age, okay? !Every time he secretly finds ways to prevent pregnancy, isn't it just because of this?Although he said that he would definitely want to be pregnant, but he really didn't want it for the time being!

Of course, he definitely couldn’t say that to Han Shi. If Han Shi knew, he deliberately used contraception every time. Given Xiao Shi’s desire for a child, no matter how good-tempered he is, he would probably be able to bite his hair in an instant. he.

"Ahem..." Shen Ling said softly, "This kind of thing depends on fate, so don't be in a hurry!"

"Yeah." Han Shi nodded, feeling that Shen Ling is very gentle, he is so difficult to give birth to, yet Shen Ling still treats him so well, and Shen Ling is also rich, so he still doesn't dislike him, it's really very good.

"I'm hungry." Shen Ling changed the subject.

"I'll go back and cook!" Han Shi immediately regained his energy. He felt that the only way he could treat Shen Ling well was to take good care of him, cook and wash his clothes, so he refused to let Shen Ling cook for him unless When Shen Ling became interested, he wanted to study some new dishes, such as roast duck, so he would give up the kitchen a little bit to give Shen Ling a lot of trouble.

"Good." Shen Ling said softly.
