Another World Taoyuan [Farming]

Chapter 20

August is already the end of summer in the farmhouse. At this time, the farmers who have been leisurely for the summer are starting to get busy again.The corn in the field is about to be harvested and returned home, and these jobs are coming one after another.

□□There is a lot of work in the fields, and some families with insufficient manpower will ask for help. If someone helps the family, the meals will naturally be better. But at this time, home-cooked dishes such as green beans and lentils are almost gone. It is inevitable to buy some other things at home. For those who do not want to go to the town to treat guests, the fish and shrimp in the river have become their best choice.

The Ye family's land is not too much, but compared with their family's population, it is definitely not small. There are only three people in their family, and Ye Aniang can't work in the field, so if the Ye family's ten acres of land depends on Ye Father and son will be busy for half a month.

"Father, let's hire someone. The weather is just right these few days. If you don't take back the millet in the field, if there is a sudden heavy rain at that time, the harvest will be ruined." It's another bumper harvest year, looking at the fields full of golden millet, Ye Xiaoman just wants to quickly put them all into his warehouse.

How could Father Ye, an old farmer who has been working for decades, not understand what his son said?But now it doesn’t mean that you can hire someone if you hire someone. Now everyone’s family is busy, and those who have a lot of labor at home are either busy with their own work or helping each other with other families. There are only two people in their family, and there are more than ten acres of land. It's not worthwhile for anyone to join forces with others.It is also a field of more than ten acres. There are four or five laborers in the family, and there are only two in their family, so they will not do it.

"Forget it, let's get tired when you two are tired. If you hurry up, it will take about ten days." In fact, in addition to helping each other, you can also spend money to hire people. You don't have to worry about that much.But after thinking about the situation at home, Father Ye gave up on this idea, and now it is more important to save money for Xiaoman.

After everyone in the village started to get busy, Zhao Jingzhe finally came to the door for the first time after he moved out of Ye's house. This time he didn't go alone, but drove a carriage, and there were still people on the carriage. Quite a few things.

"Brother Zhao!" Ye Xiaoman was the happiest Zhao Jingzhe was able to come home. When he felt that Zhao Jingzhe rejected him that day, he was actually quite sad. He felt that Zhao Jingzhe didn't want to get involved with him. He really didn't expect Zhao Jingzhe to come to his house again.

"Xiao Man, come here and help me move things." Zhao Jingzhe bought a lot of things, the most of which was meat. He also lived in Ye's house for a long time, and only after he moved out did he find out that he was very fond of Ye's food. Although I have no dissatisfaction, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that I only eat meat once every few days.

Zhao Jingzhe is a meat eater, and he can't do without meat every day, so Ye's family only eats meat for seven or eight days. In his opinion, life is still not good, but he doesn't know that the village can't eat meat for a month. It's not like there are people who have meat once, and the life of the Ye family is considered good in the village.

Ye Xiaoman didn't care too much, he only knew that he was very happy when Brother Zhao came to the house, and he could do whatever Brother Zhao asked him to do.When the two of them were moving things home, Aunt Ye blocked the door and prevented people from entering, Ye Xiaoman couldn't figure it out.

"Aniang, what's the matter?" Seeing Aniang's face, Ye Xiaoman was obviously unhappy, but he didn't know why, didn't Aniang say before that she wanted Big Brother Zhao to be her godson?Why is he very upset now, like Brother Zhao.

"Zhao boy, what do you mean?"

"Auntie, haven't you been busy lately? I don't think there's any food at home. Xiaoman and uncle have to go to the fields every day. I want to buy some food for the family, and then you can just be busy at home. Let's go to the field to get the millet back." Now It’s time to harvest the millet. If you don’t take it home quickly, if it rains heavily and the weather doesn’t clear up again, it will affect the quality of the millet. This is the year-round hope of the family, and you can’t just lose it at the end of the year. .

"Xiao Manniang, let's talk about it when Jing Zhe comes in." Having lived under the same roof for so long, Father Ye still likes Zhao Jingzhe, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry after he said that he couldn't get married with his own Xiao Man , Now Zhao Jingzhe came to the door with things, and said that he would help the family with some work. Daddy Ye was actually very happy, which proved that he was right, Zhao Jingzhe was not an ungrateful person.

Zhao Jingzhe actually understood it in his heart, but he didn't want to have a stiff relationship with the Ye family. No matter what his relationship with Xiaoman was, he was really grateful to the Ye family, and really wanted to do his best to help them.

Zhao Jingzhe thought that Father Ye let him in because he accepted what he had and agreed to what he said he wanted to help, but after he entered the door, what Father Ye said to him was completely contrary to what he thought.

"Jing Zhe, now you are the only one in your family, it is not easy for you to gain a firm foothold in the village. I know you have some money on you now, but money is not too little or too much. Look, you have spent these days How much money have you paid? Your house hasn’t been erected yet, so how much money do you have left?”

"Uncle, I..."

"Don't talk, just listen to me." After interrupting Zhao Jingzhe, Apa Ye continued: "Jingzhe, I know you can read and write, that old fairy must have taught you There are a lot of things, I am a mud-legged guy who can't read a few words, and I want to explain to you, but I don't know if you can listen to it.

But no matter whether you can listen to it or not, I have to tell you about it. This can be regarded as worthy of Brother Zhao.

You will live in the village in the future, and you have to have a good relationship with the villagers, but this relationship is not just about letting people take advantage of you, it must be moderate.Did you help people near your home bring a lot of things back a few days ago, and you didn't even charge them money, did you?

Let me tell you, you can’t do this in the future, otherwise if you give them a chicken now, you will have to give them a pig later, or they will have to run after you for being stingy.

Now that you are idle, you are idle, why don’t you help them in the village, but this favor is not for nothing. After you have been busy for a while, your house should start construction, and then they will pay you back It's time. "

"Uncle, I know, I'll think about what you said, thank you." Zhao Jingzhe is really happy now, because he feels that Ye Apa's attitude towards him seems to have changed a bit, before he obviously didn't want to talk too much. Paying attention to his appearance, and now talking to him with sincerity, he is really happy.

Because of Auntie Ye's words, Zhao Jingzhe was very happy. Seeing that Xiaoman and Auntie Ye had already started to deal with the things he brought over, he felt even happier. They just wanted their own things.

Zhao Jingzhe happily chatted with Aunt Ye, while Xiaoman and Aniang Ye were busy in the kitchen, he could already smell the smell of meat outside, knowing that Xiaoman and the others were cooking, he was too greedy.

Since leaving Ye's house, he really hasn't eaten a good meal. Every day, he cooks anything in their simple pot to deal with his stomach. Eating seems to have become a daily task instead of enjoying the aroma of food.

Zhao Jingzhe knew that Apa Ye liked to drink some wine, so this time he also bought some wine for Apa Ye, and bought candies and dried fruits for Xiaoman, he knew that Xiaoman likes to eat snacks.

During the harvest season in crisp autumn, the family chats in the yard. This is the life that Zhao Jingzhe yearns for the most. The simplicity and comfort make people feel at ease.

"Brother Zhao."

"Xiaoman." Zhao Jingzhe originally thought that Xiaoman and the others would come out with food, but Xiaoman's hands are empty, why is there something wrong with his expression?

"Boy Zhao, I also know that you are still a young man alone. It must be very inconvenient to cook on weekdays. I will slice and fry the pork you brought over for you, and then put it in the jar to soak. Don't worry about it breaking, this jar of meat is enough for you to eat for a month or two."

"Aunt..."

"Now the jar is very hot and heavy, so it's inconvenient to carry it. You can move it to your carriage after it gets cold." After Ye Aniang said this, she took off her apron and went into the room. , and Xiao Man was standing at the door of the kitchen with a look on his face, as if he didn't know how to face Zhao Jingzhe.

"Uncle, you misunderstood me. I didn't bring the pork here for my aunt to cook for me. I just wanted to give it to my family! Uncle, since the stuff is ready, you can keep it. I'll go home first." Zhao Jingzhe Now I don't feel half as happy as I was just now, it's like knocking over a five-flavored bottle in my heart, it has all kinds of feelings.

Zhao Jingzhe was in a hurry to leave, but Apa Ye decided to keep him.He took Zhao Jingzhe's hand, pressed Zhao Jingzhe's arm, and after sitting down, Apa Ye went on to say: "Jingzhe, your kindness is appreciated, but our family's life is not bad, it's not too late With that bit of meat.

Hey, I won't talk to you anymore, let me tell you directly, in the future, don't run home all the time, don't bring things over, just live your life well.

Jing Zhe, your father and I grew up together. I was the only child in my family. My father and mother left early. Since I was a child, I have regarded your father as my elder brother. Although I am annoyed at you now, but That's my nephew after all...

How about this, let's not communicate for the time being, after you and Xiaoman get married, the two families can just wait for ordinary relatives to move around. "Apa Ye thought, when the two get married, there shouldn't be so much gossip in the village. And he can also see that this Zhao Jingzhe might really be a promising person. He knows his Xiaoman's temperament, and in the future Regardless of the fact that marrying a wife will inevitably lead to bullying, if there is really a big brother like Zhao Jingzhe protecting him, he can rest assured that after all, he and Aunt Xiaoman cannot protect Xiaoman for the rest of his life.
