Another World Taoyuan [Farming]

Chapter 36

Feeling that Father Ye and the others didn't seem to find anything wrong, Zhao Jingzhe quickly changed the topic, anyway, it was just because of a dish that was leaked, so it's better to expose it now.

"Hey, isn't this the fungus that Xiaoman picked up some time ago? Can you eat it now? Didn't Xiaoman say you want winter?" Wild mountain mushroom stewed chicken, this is delicious. It should be placed in modern times, but every farmhouse What about the signature dish?

"What kind of winter can you eat there? Don't talk nonsense, Xiaoman." After Ye Aniang answered, she said quietly, "When did Xiaoman tell you this?"

"Just now, not long ago." Zhao Jingzhe just remembered now that the two elders of the Ye family seemed to prevent Xiaoman from getting in touch with him before, so they probably didn't know about the fact that he went up the mountain together, right?

Zhao Jingzhe felt that what he said was wrong, and now he didn't dare to say anything more, just like Xiaoman, he just buried his head in eating.

After dinner, it was still early, the two of them only needed to get home at dusk, they were both in the same village, and it would only take a while to go back, so there was no rush.

After the matter of Zhao Jingzhe's house was decided, Apa Ye asked him about the field. No matter what, the family still needs to have a few acres of land, otherwise there is no guarantee.

"Father, don't worry, I've already thought about this matter. I thought that my family's previous land would not come back, but I didn't expect the village chief and Zhao's relatives to help me ask for it at a very cheap price. Come back. The family farm now has a total of about ten acres. Although it is not much, you know it. I grew up in the mountains and I don’t know anything about farming. Although Xiaoman knows it, I can’t let Xiaoman work alone. So I want to Those fields are rented out, and some charges..."

"What are you talking about, kid!" Before Zhao Jingzhe could say anything, Father Ye quit, and rented out the good land if he didn't grow it himself?Where did he learn it?His family is close to Zhang's family at the entrance of the village, did he learn from that family's worthless family?

"Rent it out? Do you know how much food you lose every year if you rent it out? You two young and strong people have plenty of strength. Why don't you work and stay at home all day? You don't have much land and you don't want to go out and rent some back. Forget it, but you still think about renting out the house, do you want to starve Xiao Man to death!" Father Ye hates people who eat too much and are lazy, he never thought that Zhao Jingzhe was such an unpromising person before. , but they just got married, why did they seem to be a different person!

"Father, you misunderstood, I really don't know how to do farm work, but I didn't say that I don't do it, look, I haven't finished my words yet.

This is how I think, farming and farming are for our mouths, and as long as there is money, what food can’t be bought?The fields at home are more or less, if they are all planted, I can't let Xiaoman work alone, so naturally I won't be able to tell the experience to do other things.

So I thought, if I rent out the land, I can receive half of the rent by the end of the year, and these rents should be able to supply me and Xiaoman with a year's rations, and then we can buy other things with the extra money Or survived. "Actually, Zhao Jingzhe already has a rough plan for what he wants to do, but he still has to observe and observe.

"The extra money? Do you think money is so easy to earn? You just say you can do something, why do you think you can earn money back!" Qi returned to Qi, and Apa Ye thought carefully about Zhao Jingzhe's words , I have another thought in my heart, he is getting older, and his son didn't learn the craft in his hand, but now Zhao Jingzhe is a good candidate, he is Xiaoman's husband, and he can be regarded as his own.

Aniang Ye is naturally not slow to Zhao Jingzhe's words, but Xiaoman's father is already admonishing others, so it's hard for her to speak, otherwise Zhao Jingzhe should blame them in his heart, what if he goes back and vents his anger on Xiaoman manage.

"Okay, why are you so anxious to lose your temper? Don't wait for him to say what he wants to do, what if it's really a money-making business?"

"Then tell me, what are you going to do? If you don't know, anyway, there are not many things at home, so you can come home and learn carpentry. Although this job won't make you rich, you won't starve to death if you learn it. If the craftsmanship is better, it is better than farming."

No matter what era it is, people who know technology always earn more than those who work hard. Zhao Jingzhe knows what Apa Ye means, at least he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking if he has a good skill, but he is really not interested in carpentry. How can you learn well if you are interested.

"Father, I'm not interested in woodworking, so I can't learn well. Father, don't worry, I won't let Xiaoman go hungry without doing my job properly."

"Why are you not interested? How many people want to learn, but I have been confiscating my apprentices, just thinking that Xiaoman will not learn, and I will hand it over to Mrs. Xiaoman in the future. How can you not learn! Then the ancestral craftsmanship of my old Ye family will be lost. Already!"

"Father, no, no, you are still so young, you can pass on this skill to my children and Xiaoman's in the future." Zhao Jingzhe was anxious, and immediately thought of this excuse, but when he said this, he didn't know what to do. Feeling awkward, I looked at Xiaoman's stomach in a blink of an eye, imagining how it would gradually grow... It seems that it is not so difficult to accept.

When it comes to his own craftsmanship, Aunt Ye couldn't hear it at all. He didn't listen to Zhao Jingzhe fooling him. He wanted to speak again but was interrupted by Aunt Ye.

"Okay, you two are ready to go back, anyway, you can come back anytime after today, and it's not too late."

"Okay, Ma'am." Zhao Jingzhe also wanted to leave, he was going to take Xiaoman to the town tomorrow, it would be better to go home early to prepare, because tonight he had to feed the horse enough fodder.

After the two left, Aunt Ye was still muttering, now Aniang Ye started to teach him a lesson mercilessly.

"I said what happened to you today? Are you still polite to Zhao Jingzhe? Why did you blame him today? Let's not say that he hasn't done anything absurd. Even if he is kicked out, he still has to go Give him a chance to repent, don't forget that your only son is now the husband, he has been angry with you, and he can't figure out what to do when he goes home and embarrass Xiaoman?" Others say that the mother-in-law looks more and more pleasing to the son-in-law , In fact, only mothers know that this is not pleasing to their eyes, it is just for the sake of their children living in other people's homes.

"He's married to Xiaoman, we're all a family, why should I be polite to him? I'm talking to him for his own good, but I can't let him learn badly. Look at the Zhang family. What does it look like?" Before Xiaoman and Zhao Jingzhe got married, Zhao Jingzhe was the only child of his old brother to Apa Ye, and he had to forgive him for any mistakes, but now he is married to his son , he has also become his half son, of course he has to say something.

"Hey, Xiaoman, what kind of fate is this! It's fine to have such an honest father, but I still look like my father ten to ten. Right now, I hope that Zhao Jingzhe has a temper that can't be taken advantage of, otherwise they won't be able to Being taken advantage of by others!" The words of a close relative of flesh and blood are fierce, and it can still leave some people behind, let alone an outsider?Aniang Ye is indeed trying hard to accept Zhao Jingzhe now, but Zhao Jingzhe is still an outsider in her eyes.

After the two returned home, Zhao Jingzhe said that he didn't remember until he was going to the town tomorrow. There was one thing he didn't say today.

"Sell the family carriage?"

"Well, Dad and the others have a carriage anyway, but they don't use it for a lot of time, and the one at home is the same. It's too wasteful." After deciding to marry Ye Xiaoman, Zhao Jingzhe didn't treat the two elders of the Ye family as outsiders. There is only one son, Xiaoman, and now that he and Xiaoman are married, they naturally become their sons. It's just a special situation, they have to live separately, and they will live together sooner or later, so there is no need to worry about such trivial matters.

It is too wasteful to have two carriages idle at home, so I might as well sell one, and save some money, he is useful.

"Well, I also think it's troublesome to mow the grass for him every day." Ye Xiaoman's family has long stockpiled winter hay for the horses at home, and it's still autumn and there will be some tender grass outside. Time is hard to find.

Zhao Jingzhe was generous when he bought the carriage, but he didn't know the trouble until he bought the carriage. It was a waste to prepare fodder for it every day, and he had to worry about the horse being stolen by others. He didn't even have a yard at home, so it was too unsafe up.

"Since you agree, then we can talk about it with daddy when we go home one day, daddy should agree."

"Hehe~"

"Xiao Man, what are you laughing at?"

"No, I just want to laugh when you call me daddy, and I don't know why." Anyway, it's just that I'm in a good mood, and brother Zhao called it quite naturally.

"It's just what it should be. What's so funny? Aren't we married?"

"Yeah, it should be." That's why I laughed.

"Xiao Man, it's getting late, let's go wash our faces and feet."

"Okay." At night, Zhao Jingzhe sighed again about the convenience of water at Ye's house. His house has to go far away to fetch water, which is usually fine, but it will be troublesome if it rains.

"When the house at home is built, we will have to build a living canal around the house, which will be much more convenient."

"No need, we can dig out a water tank, fill it up every morning, and use water all day long." Ye Xiaoman remembers that when he was very young, there was a big water tank at home, and the water tank in front of the door The canal was repaired later.

"This is also the method, but it is much more convenient to have running water." Now directly

Washing your feet in cold water is already a bit chilly, but both of them are young and as the saying goes, spring covers autumn, and now they don't feel cold.

Sitting together washing their feet, the sky slowly darkened again, looking at the sky full of stars, Ye Xiaoman suddenly remembered the song that Zhao Jingzhe sang to him that day, so he began to hum slowly.

"Xiao Man? You know it?" He only sang it twice that day, and he couldn't sing clearly the first time. Xiao Man is really smart, and he didn't even sing it wrong.

"Brother Zhao, I specially wrote it down, and I hope that one day I can sing it to you."

"Xiaoman." Reaching out to grab Xiaoman's hand, Zhao Jingzhe felt warm in his heart, as if a warm current flowed all over his body, making him very comfortable.
