Lao Zhou walked around the hillside and estimated how many sweet potatoes and soybeans he could harvest this autumn and winter. These two things are easy to grow and don’t require much attention. After planting, just arrange a few people to come up every now and then to weed and fertilize. Well, wait until November and February this year, it's time to harvest.

"Have all the sweet potatoes been planted?" Lao Zhou looked around and found that there are more sweet potatoes and less soybeans than soybeans planted on the slope.

"Well, first plant sweet potatoes and then soybeans." The growth cycle of sweet potatoes is long, it takes at least four months to grow, and they like to be warm and afraid of cold. When the temperature is lower than [-] degrees Celsius, they basically stop. It has grown. Here, in November of the Gregorian calendar, the temperature is already relatively low, so we have to hurry up and plant it first. The soybeans are better, and they can be harvested in about three months. Plant them in early July, and on November It can mature at the beginning of the month.

"Quite experienced." Old Zhou praised him.

Zheng Bolun didn't pick up his words. He lowered his head and dug out a spoonful of fermented glutinous rice, and asked Lao Zhou, "Why don't you cook some glutinous rice balls? Jiuniang meatballs are delicious."

"Next time, when the work here is over, I'll pull a few sheep down from the mountain and prepare a few tables of good food. I'll reward everyone." The glutinous rice balls are made of glutinous rice. All the glutinous rice was planted by old man Luo last year, and there is not much left after using it. Lao Zhou usually doesn't let people touch it.

"Do you have glutinous rice balls?" Zheng Bolun refused to be easily fooled.

"I'll ask Fatty Hou to make it for you at that time." Why do everyone love to have trouble with that bit of glutinous rice? When the glutinous rice from Niuwangzhuang this year comes back, it will be fine at that time. Since everyone loves to eat it, he will eat it when the time comes. Just save more.

At the moment, the boys and girls are sitting in the shade of a forest at the foot of the slope and eating fermented glutinous glutinous rice. The four-eyed boy and the fat man are in charge of the big spoons, and there are boys next to them who will come and fight with them again and again. The big guy came over when he heard the wind, and the three brothers stood there, and they were obviously more stable than the juniors next to them, although they were only one year older than the others.

At this time last year, there were a lot of graduates who came to Niuwangzhuang, but now there are only three of them left. Although Lao Zhou has taken care of them this year, but for these older children who are only seventeen or eighteen years old It's not been an easy year for them.Perhaps the growth of a teenager is like the peanut seedlings of the old Zhou family. A board needs to be pressed on it. When he feels the weight and overcomes the weight, he has grown up.

These seedlings are also good this year. Except for Lin Kuo, Lao Zhou plans to ask Liu Ruhua, Luo Zhifang and the others. If anyone is willing to ask for a few helpers, they will arrange them. There will also be a few at the cowshed. One year old Zhou didn't plan to give these children a lot of salary, and these children might not stay long. As long as he can find one or two good seedlings who are willing to take root in Niuwangzhuang, he will be considered to have made money.

Speaking of recruiting, Lao Zhou thought about the milk powder factory again. Wei Zhuoyang told him that it was not easy to recruit professionals in the milk powder factory. Nian was used to cheap labor, and when he heard that he was going to use a headhunting company to poach people, he felt extremely distressed.

At that time, the salary plus the service fee, how much will it cost!You must know that their milk powder factory needs to recruit more than one or two professionals. Lao Zhou was not willing to spend the money, so he told Wei Zhuoyang to wait and think of a way on his side.

This method is really not that easy to think about. He is a layman himself, and he has no contact with anyone in this industry around him.

"Our milk powder factory needs to recruit some professionals. Do you have any connections?" Old Zhou Shun asked Zheng Bolun next to him.

Zheng Bolun frowned and thought for a while, then asked Lao Zhou, "Do you want professional security personnel?"

"How professional?" Lao Zhou's milk powder factory really lacked a few security guards.

"Very professional." Zheng Bolun said concisely.

"Won't the salary requirement be very high?" If it's too high, he can't afford it.

"No." Zheng Bolun shook his head and said, "He was injured before and had some problems. This time I will introduce him to Mr. Bai's place to have a look. He should be there in a few days."

"Well, I'll talk to him when someone comes over." Since Zheng Bolun is someone he can trust, there shouldn't be any problems. It seems that their milk powder factory has another security captain. .

After a while, Luo Meng went to the mushroom shed to look again, and when the time was almost up, he called the four-eyed fat boy and those female students to go back to the courtyard together.

Before entering the yard, when he drove past a pile of straw under a big tree by the side of the road, he saw Erlang lying on his side, sleeping soundly, with a few big dogs and puppies nestled beside him, in a lying sleeping position Different, Luo Meihui, Luo Meiling and the twins of Bian Dajun's family were also there, and they all slept on their backs.

Seeing that his niece was basking in the sun, Lao Zhou moved them into the shade of a tree. When he drove into the yard, he saw Luo Hongfeng and Gao Sunu and the others were using a small altar to pack fermented glutinous rice.

Their supermarket sells this kind of jars for pickles and other things. As long as these jars are not damaged, they can be recycled. The recycling price for a two-jin jar is three yuan, and a five-jin jar is five yuan. piece.

"Those outside, why are they sleeping right now?" Old Zhou asked after getting off the car.

"Hey, it's not like eating too much fermented glutinous rice." Adults generally don't get drunk after eating fermented glutinous glutinous rice, but children are different.Luo Hongfeng smiled, and didn't take it seriously. When she and Luo Meng were young, they used to drink old man Luo's bayberry wine. After eating two bayberries, her little face would turn red like Guan Gong.

"Erlang also ate it?" That big girl, how could she be so intoxicated?

"Eat it, is it okay not to feed it?" Luo Hongfeng laughed.

"Don't pack all the fermented glutinous glutinous rice in a while. Besides what we eat in the yard, I will feed some to the cows at night." The fermented glutinous glutinous rice is just made of rice. It is not an expensive thing, and it is occasionally given to the cows Let's improve the food, Lao Zhou is still willing.

"Success." Luo Hongfeng agreed without saying a word.

At noon, Houwazi ate with Boss Xiao and the others at the blacksmith shop. When it was time to eat, Luo Meng brought some food from the courtyard back to eat with Xiao Shulin. Without their son by their side, the two were happy to enjoy the meal together. people world.

Houwazi has been going out early and returning late every day. He spends all day in the old man's room. He heard from the old man that this boy's ability to identify herbs is very good, but he is still too young and has not yet formally read and write. He didn't understand what he wanted to say. Old Zhou didn't expect him to be able to learn something at a young age, so he just let him nurture him first.

This afternoon, Houwazi sat on the stool opposite the table where the old man was consulting with. He opened his precious chessboard, put it on his knees, and rubbed the chess pieces inside his hands one by one. While rubbing the chess pieces, he still stared at the old man, seeing that he had opened an order for someone, explained a few more words, and then put the several red tickets handed over by the other party into the box, and then come up with a...

At this time, someone next to him asked him, "kid, where did you buy this chess set?"

In the evening, Xiao Shulin went to the smithy to pick up Monkey Boy. As soon as the boy saw his father, he dragged Xiao Shulin into Boss Xiao's house, to a bamboo basket in the corner of the living room, and covered it with his hand. Pulling the piece of cloth, he looked at Xiao Shulin with a proud face.

"Where did it come from?" Xiao Shulin couldn't help being speechless as he looked at the bamboo basket full of banknotes.

"Where else can you play? Sell his chess set." Boss Xiao replied on behalf of Hou Wazi.

"He sold it himself?" The deal seemed a little too big for a kid.

"He thinks, can we ignore so many people in our yard?" Boss Xiao hummed, if they weren't present today, that profiteer would have deceived his monkey grandson.

"It's not that I'm talking about you guys. It's right to exercise children, but you can't be unreasonable, right? Children's families are so ostentatious, what do you think is a good thing?" After a while Houwazi went to play in the yard, Boss Xiao trained wake up son.

In the past, Boss Xiao was most proud of his monkey grandson, and he could brag about it to those old men for a long time. Today, his grandson exchanged a pair of walnut chess pieces for a basket of banknotes, but he couldn't be happier. A man of mixed society, accustomed to all kinds of darkness in the society, and his grandson is too popular, this is really not a good thing in his opinion.

"I'll go back and discuss this with Luo Meng." Xiao Shulin also felt that this was really not a good thing. Houwazi was holding walnuts in his hands all day long, and everyone saw it. If you have too much money, someone may have a bad idea.

"You can have some snacks!" Boss Xiao urged.

"I know." Xiao Shulin nodded solemnly.

Boss Xiao saw him like this, so he didn't say any more. He knew his son best. On the issue of Monkey Boy, he will not take it lightly.

Xiao Shulin went back in the evening and told Luo Meng what Boss Xiao had said. Luo Meng had never been in contact with those things, and had never thought about it. Hearing what Xiao Shulin said, he was surprised at first, and then became a little worried.

None of them showed it in front of Houwazi. The father and son happily divided the basket of banknotes. After taking a bath, they watched TV together again, and then went back to sleep. Everything seemed to be the same as usual.

But when Houwazi was going to the blacksmith shop the next day, Xiao Shulin put the knife and a few walnuts into his pocket, indicating that he was going to the blacksmith shop too, and then took Huahua with him, and met him when he was having breakfast in the courtyard. Sanmao, just take Sanmao with you by the way.

After Xiao Shulin and the others left, Luo Meng discussed with old man Wang: "Old Wang, let Sanmao be our monkey's bodyguard from now on. There are eight hours a day on weekends, three meals a day, and holidays." Fuli, what do you think?"

This was also discussed by Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin last night. Houwazi is studying in the town, and it is impossible for the two of them to follow him all day. Huahua is not weak in combat. Don't look at Houwazi who usually carries it like a cat. , in fact, if you don't hold a weapon, the average adult man may not be able to do it, but this guy is wild after all, and he hasn't been trained seriously before, so it seems a bit unreliable now. , Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin are not something you can rest assured about.

Fortunately, there is Sanmao, this is an old military dog ​​that has been trained in the army for several years. You can rest assured.

This summer vacation, Xiao Shulin plans to go to the blacksmith shop with them every day. Apart from watching his son, the main reason is to train Huahua. This guy eats delicious food in their house and has grown to such a size. Now it is finally his turn to contribute. , Isn't lynx the best at ambush? If you train well, maybe you can grow into an excellent shadow guard.
