Days of farming with bamboo horses

In fact, many things in the house were carved by Zhou Chengyu himself, such as the pen holder and pen holder for small things, such as the wooden hairpin he used to tie his hair, and some small ornaments. Fortunately, their room is large enough , It is convenient for Su Zipei to hide treasures.

Yes, it is hidden treasures, because it can maintain the speed of carving every day, Zhou Chengyu is very handy in this job, every time before delivering goods to Boss Shui, he first asks the little things to pick out his favorite ones, and then the rest Take it out and sell it.

Moreover, knowing the truth that rare things are valuable, Zhou Chengyu puts more effort into carving, and every piece of work is definitely worthy of his teacher, which is why he is not afraid that others will steal his job.

Not to mention that the people here don’t know what specific woodcarving is. Without his craftsmanship, ideas for small things, and fine tools, if he can’t describe many details, he is doomed to fail.

A few days ago, Su Zipei drew another painting. He brought it over and asked him if he could carve it. He wanted to keep it for himself instead of selling it.At that time, Zhou Chengyu saw the painting, and immediately agreed. This was the first time Xiaodong asked him for a gift, and it was to coax him.

Su Zipei's painting is simple but not simple, complicated and not complicated. It is to carve a few roses on a wooden board. This kind of hollow carving is actually a test of skill, but for Zhou Chengyu, it is not very difficult. He's done this kind of work before.

After washing the dishes in the kitchen, Su Zipei wiped his hands and came out. He was about to look for Chengyu. He also liked to watch Chengyu's sculptures. Seeing his serious and focused appearance, he was very attractive.There was a knock on the door.

Su Zipei scratched his head, wondering who would come looking for them at this time, but Cheng Yu would not be disturbed when he was working, so he ran over quickly and lay behind the door—"Who is it?"

Chen Lan waited at the door for a long time, but no one opened the door. At this time, she heard a voice that was a bit dumbfounded: "Zipei, open the door quickly, it's me."

"A-Lan." Su Zipei opened the door and smiled slightly, looked around, "Is there only one A-Lan? What can I do for you?"

"Well, my husband has gone to run away." Chen Lan pulled him with a smile, "Just now a man who sells lambs came from the village, and the lambs are still young, which is much more cost-effective than buying them in the town. It’s very cost-effective to buy it, raise it and sell it or eat it yourself. I plan to buy a few pigs and keep them, do you want Zipei to buy them? Your family has land here, so it’s convenient to raise them.”

"Little lamb?" Su Zipei tilted his head and thought for a while, "I haven't seen a real little lamb yet."

"Then let's go and have a look? Yours just need to be put in the open space to graze, and it's not a problem, and when they grow up, they will be very valuable to sell." Chen Lan smiled, and then felt a little embarrassed, "In the future If you give birth to a child, there will be goat milk to drink."

"Okay, A Lan, you come in first, the sun is getting brighter outside, I'll go tell Cheng Yu." Su Zipei responded with a smile, and ran directly to the small house.

There was a small pile of sawdust in front of Zhou Chengyu. He was concentrating on carving rose petals and had already finished a small part. Su Zipei walked to the door lightly, knocked on the door, and asked for his opinion: "Chengyu, can I go out with A Lan?" Alan said that there are lambs sold in the village, I want to see them.”

Zhou Chengyu raised his head and said with a smile: "Of course, you can come back after playing for a while, and go to the closet to get some money for self-defense. If you think you need to buy something, you can buy it back. There is no shortage of this money at home."

"Well, good!" Su Zipei nodded in agreement, carefully avoiding the wood, and gave him a kiss, "Chengyu is so kind."

Su Zipei ran back to the room and took ten taels of silver from the closet. He knew that this place was a lot compared to the others. After all, not every family was as confident as theirs, and they would make money by the way.As long as woodcarving is done well and there is a market, it can actually be very profitable.Moreover, since Su Zipei woke up, Cheng Yu never restricted his money, and gave him whatever he wanted.

Under the threat of his master, Mu Ling reluctantly followed Su Zipei out, and when he left, he bumped into the door because of grievances.

Yes, after so long of accumulating spiritual energy, the wood spirit finally has a little outline, or a little weight, that is, he is there, you can feel it, not like a ghost anymore.So Mu Ling didn't go back to his "home" anymore, and followed Su Zipei to the village with a look of hopelessness.

A man at the edge of the village drove dozens of lambs and collected money while yelling there. Many people bought lambs at home because they were cheap, some with one head or two, some with four or five.

"Come and see, little lamb! One or two, no bargaining." The man shouted cheerfully, who doesn't want to sell more.

Su Zipei was just curious at first, but when he saw so many white lambs, he felt a little wishful, the little one is really fun.

Chen Lan and the others don't buy it yet, they all stand there listening to those fathers bargaining, everyone wants to be cheaper, but this guy is also tactful, he was harassed by so many "magic voices" and he didn't let go. One or two.

"Alan, how many do you want to buy?" Su Zipei gently tugged on Chen Lan's sleeve, and asked softly, "I don't know if brother-in-law wants to buy it?"

Chen Lan said with a smile: "I told my brother-in-law just now, he said that there are two more in his family, and Lin Tong drank the milk of that ewe, so he would not buy it, so you should remember to buy a pair. If you are pregnant at that time, you can just drink goat milk. In fact, if one is raised well, it will cost at least five taels of silver when it grows up, which is not a loss."

"Oh." Su Zipei nodded half-understanding, and he reached out and gently touched a little lamb that was close to him, it was fluffy.

"That one is not good. Do you want to buy Zipei? Uncle Si will pick two for you and keep them safe." Uncle Zhou's husband is also very cheerful, he took six back with him, and reminded Su Zipei when he saw that Su Zipei seemed to want to buy them.

For a moment, everyone looked at Su Zipei, most of them were curious, but a few were jealous.This brother from the flood is about to become a legend in the Zhou family village. Hearing that Zhou Chengyu is a baby, he is not at ease when he goes out, and he is reluctant to let him do something. He serves delicious food and drink all day long.

Wang Shen also pulled his son, gloating in his tone: "Zipei, you are all married to a man and become a husband, how can you be so casual about these things? Look, that lamb is listless. Look at it. It's not easy to support, don't lose money for nothing. Even if Cheng Yu loves you again, he is not such a prodigal."

The other brothers didn't speak up. Wang Shen was famous for his vicious gossip in their village. He could tell black things into white things in his mouth. He was the most annoying person in the village. He just couldn't see others. good.

Su Zipei frowned and ignored him. He had never quarreled with anyone, and he didn't want to argue with these people.

"Wang Shen, what are you talking nonsense about? Chengyu and Zipei's young couple, what's your business? Chengyu has the ability to make money, you might as well go home and help your guy look after the store when you have time." Fourth Uncle Dad couldn't see it, so he replied.

Wang Shen snorted and left. It was the first time Su Zipei had to deal with such an arrogant and unreasonable person, and he was a little dumbfounded.

Instead, Chen Lan pulled him, and said in a low voice, "Zipei, you don't have to worry about it, he's always like this, just pretend he didn't hear you."

Chen Lan herself was often choked up by him, so she didn't need to go to his store to buy things. The things the family needed were listed in advance, and Cheng Xuan would bring them back from the town.

Fourth Uncle also echoed: "Yes, some people get more motivated the more you pay attention to them, but they just can't see others well."

Su Zipei nodded blankly. In fact, he really didn't mind. He couldn't argue with an elderly elder, and he wouldn't suffer any loss if he was said a few words. In the past, many people in school said he was stupid, and he took it for granted. did not hear it.

In the end, with the help of Chen Lan, Su Zipei picked two lambs, one male and one female, and the man who sold the sheep kindly tied a rope for him so that he could take them home.

Su Zipei held the two lambs nervously, for fear that he would accidentally let the lambs go away. When he found that Chen Lan was naturally leading the five lambs, he was stunned again and stammered: " Alan, what are you buying so much for? You can't do it alone, right?"

"No!" Chen Lan raised her head and smiled, "I used to herd sheep, it was very easy, anyway, I have to go to the field every day, and when I come back, I can just cut some grass and feed them, and I don't want to feed them at home. Is it a cow? About the same.”

"So, so hard?" Su Zipei didn't expect Chen Lan to be so powerful, let alone mowing the grass in the morning, he even got up later than Cheng Yu!Every time it was Chengyu who got up first, he would get up in a daze, and then pick vegetables for cooking, he picks vegetables for Chengyu to cook.

"It's okay." Chen Lan was very happy, and explained to him, "I'm busy. And brother-in-law didn't do so many things by himself? Does he still have to look after two children? I just want to stay at home Help Chengxuan do more work, so that he doesn't have to work so hard, and the mutton will also make up for it."

Su Zipei felt that what he said was reasonable, but there seemed to be something wrong.

Zhou Chengzhi's family also has cattle and sheep, but the cattle are the main ones, and they can be grazed in the backyard. The sheep are also pregnant ewes that Li Ying bought when Li Ying gave birth. Welcoming a person is totally manageable.So he mainly takes care of the children and cooks every day. When he thinks of it occasionally, he will go to the field to have a look. Zhou Chengzhi will find time to do the work that needs to be done, and he will not be tired at all.
