Power Farmer

There are several bamboo forests in Chashui Village, some are owned by the owner, and two are far away from where people live. Everyone recognizes that they belong to the village. You only need to say hello to the village head, and you can go to chop bamboo. .

It was Wei Jingze's first time to cut bamboo, and he was not very good at it. The old man took the time to teach him by hand. The two of them chopped three adult bamboos and came back. After cutting off the branches and leaves, the old man began to chop the bamboos, and then the bamboos became smaller and smaller. Made into pieces of bamboo strips.Wei Jingze was dazzled by the sight, the old man's hands are really a coincidence.

Wei Jingze picked up pieces of thin and tough bamboo strips, and praised: "Grandpa, your hands are too good, I can't do this."

The old man chuckled and said: "In the past, bamboo craftsmen, like carpenters and bricklayers, were cooking crafts. They could not be learned casually. They had to learn from a master for several years before they could succeed. At that time, craftsmanship was very important. If I didn’t do it well, I couldn’t sell it, and I wouldn’t have enough to eat. My craftsmanship can only be considered average, and I can use it for my own use. If I really sell it, I’m afraid no one will appreciate it. "

Bamboo craftsmen are now a declining industry. With factories and machines doing the work, the quality of craftwork is not necessarily bad, but if the speed cannot catch up, the price will not drop. Therefore, many former craftsmen only need what they need at home. It's time to move your hands.

Carpenters and bricklayers still have more room to play. Some rural families have their own wood and want to make chairs and other furniture, but they still need a master carpenter.Building a house is also inseparable from bricklayers.

In comparison, bamboo craftsmen are the most marginalized.

In the past, except for eating bowls and cooking pots, everything else could be made of bamboo. Now, bamboo is becoming less and less common in people's lives.

After the bamboo strips are taken out, we can't start weaving right away, they have to be polished again to remove all the small thorns on them, so as not to prick people's hands when using them.

When the old man was busy, Wei Jingze went to cook. When the meal came out, the old man had already finished more than half of a basket, and weaving it again, it was about to take shape. He picked up the half-finished product and looked up, down, left, and right. It is beautiful and strong, and holes are evenly left at the bottom, so that when the bean sprouts germinate in the future, the roots will grow from here.It was completely in line with Wei Jingze's idea.

After complimenting the old man's craftsmanship again, Wei Jingze asked the old man to clean up, wash his hands and eat, and went to call the masters by himself.

After eating, he didn't rest much, and the old man started to weave it with bamboo strips.

Before going to bed, the old man had finished two beautiful bamboo baskets.Wei Jingze took a look, the finished bamboo basket was really strong, it could withstand the beatings and collisions during the carrying process, and the old man with a skillful heart was even more admirable.

Waking up early the next morning, after Wei Jingze cooked the meals, he began to evenly spread the mung beans and soybeans soaked all day in the baskets, covered them with a layer of cotton cloth and put them in a cool and ventilated place to let them Go sprout yourself.

The germs can basically be seen in the beans that have been soaked for a whole day, indicating that the seeds have awakened, and as long as the temperature and humidity are suitable, they will germinate.Cover with cotton cloth, on the one hand, it is to shade, and on the other hand, the cover is to keep moisture. When the beans are sprouting, you must not lift them up to see, otherwise the bean sprouts will turn white easily, which is not good-looking.During the week of waiting for the bean sprouts to come out, you only need to sprinkle some water regularly.

In a blink of an eye, September has just passed away quietly. This month is mainly a time for harvesting various agricultural products, so when children write compositions, they love to write about the coolness of the autumn wind and the arrival of golden autumn.

Now, Weiwei would come to Wei Jingze's house to do his homework as soon as school was over. If there is anything he can't do, he can ask Wei Jingze and the old man. The blind woman doesn't understand anything, so it's useless to ask.

The old man’s house is facing the main road. Anyone who passes by can see Weiwei laying down there and writing seriously, so everyone praises Weiwei for being serious. Homework, look at you again, I only know you are crazy.So the children began to gather in front of the old man's house to do their homework.

Although it is noisy when doing homework, there is still a learning atmosphere. Slowly, many children have put some thought into their studies. At least homework can be done at home instead of copying other things at school. Classmates.

The grandparents and grandchildren didn't think the children were noisy. At the old man's age, when he liked children, Wei Jingze didn't care. He was busy cooking and feeding the pigs behind, and it didn't matter.Sometimes when I come back from the reservoir, I can pick a few lotus pods for the children to eat.

At the end of the month, the biogas digester was almost completed. In addition to the construction of the biogas digester, the biogas lamp and the biogas stove were also repaired. If there is no problem in the final inspection, the masters will be considered completed and can receive another part of the wages.

Wei Jingze followed his master to learn how to fill it in. If you dig out the waste residue and liquid to make fertilizer, how to read various data, how to handle various switches, etc., you can learn it after one or two times. It is not difficult. .

The biogas stove is open, and it is the most convenient place to cook pig food. We also have a few biogas lamps. If there is not enough biogas, the biogas lamps cannot be used, but electric lights can also be used.

After the masters handed over the project, Wei Jingze also treated the masters to another meal for the last time. The masters felt that they hadn't met such a kind person for a long time.

After the biogas digester was repaired, people in the village were very curious and came to watch. They saw that the excrement in the pig pen directly entered the biogas digester, and the cow pen was also close. Some domestic waste, such as rotten vegetable leaves and chicken droppings, It can also be thrown in, the key is that the taste is not strong, and it can be fertilized.What everyone is looking forward to most is cooking pig food with biogas. Cooking pig food is something that every household has to do. It costs more firewood than cooking and boiling water, so everyone is looking forward to this.

When the biogas can be used depends on the materials and strains you put in. About three days after the biogas digester in Wei Jingze’s home was completed, there will be biogas, and it is very abundant. It can be used to cook a pot of pigs. Food.

Now Wei Jingze's family had four pigs, the first two big pigs were sold to the restaurant, and after only two pigs were left, the old man went to buy two little pigs.Although the pigs are not big now, but when they are growing their bodies, their appetites are so big that it is not negotiable. If they are not fed enough, they will scream in the pigsty when they are hungry. The sound is piercing!

Fortunately, there is still plenty of bait recently. The sweet potato vines have just been buried in the ground, and there are a lot of leftovers for them to eat.

The saddest thing about farming is winter, when there are not many kinds of food for people, let alone pigs.

Now, the old man is discussing with Wei Jingze that after the late rice is harvested, he will go to another village to buy some millet and the like, and give it to the pigs. The old man is still reluctant to give his own rice to the pigs.

In addition, there should be more fast-growing vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and radish, which can add some supplementary food to pigs.In winter, pigs eat Chinese cabbage or a mixture of radish, bran and rice.

Wei Jingze has been a farmer for more than half a year, and sometimes listening to the old man say something, he still feels that he is still a novice farmer, and there are many things that he still doesn't understand.

The pigs in Wei Jingze’s family have an advantage, that is, the leftover soup and water from the restaurant will be sent to Wei Jingze’s house for the pigs to eat. The villagers have no choice but to envy them. He has a good relationship with Chen Han, of course he takes care of his acquaintances.

Of course, there is another main food for pigs in winter, which is sweet potatoes. Many people grow sweet potatoes not for their own consumption, but for raising pigs.

This year, driven by Wei Jingze, many families planted some different types of sweet potatoes. The white-cored ones are for pigs to eat, and the red-cored ones can be sold. Roasted sweet potatoes in winter sell very well.

Fortunately, pigs are not picky eaters. They eat whatever they are given, and they are easy to grow meat.

At the beginning of October, it was time to pay the bill again. Now, everyone is not as excited as before when they took the money, but they are still beaming. After a few months, everyone has gotten used to Wei Jingze’s way of doing things, ensuring that the money will not go wrong That's it.

After distributing the money, Wei Jingze talked about raising pigs in winter.

"I know that in winter, there will be no more pigweed, and it will not be easy to feed the pigs, but you must not use pig feed, even if you feed it once or twice, it will affect the meat of the pigs. Master Chen has a terrible mouth Very soon, you can tell whether your pork has been fed feed. If you are discovered once, you may not be able to do business with them in the future of selling pigs."

Everyone nodded.Now the half-grown pigs of Aunt Wutang’s house have grown up. I contacted the restaurant a few days ago and said that they would sell them to them. I didn’t expect the restaurant to reject it. As soon as the news spread, everyone would reply. The smell is coming, the last time the pig exchange was so big, the restaurant must have heard about it, so now the restaurant doesn't dare to take his pigs, because they are afraid that they are fake, or they have been fed feed of.

Wei Jingze didn't think of this matter. He was a little surprised when he heard about it.

Of course, after regaining his senses, Wei Jingze also figured it out, it was understandable for Jiang Yanzong to do this, he was trying to avoid risks.Now there are more than 20 households in the village, and every household raises pigs, even the blind woman has two. When it comes to killing a pig with Wei Jingze's family, the two I raise want to sell to the restaurant. .

Now about five pigs are slaughtered every month, and five households sell pigs a month. In a round, more than twenty households are more than enough.Of course, the supply of pork at the restaurant may be a bit tight, but they would rather guarantee the quality than defective products, and a pig can barely last for six days.In the coming year, everyone may raise more pigs, so there is no need for Aunt Wutang's family.

Two days ago, Aunt Wutang came to Wei Jingze, asking him to intercede.

"Xiao Ze, your uncle and I realized that we were wrong about that matter, and it was all done by Huang Ting and her natal family. Your uncle and I were dragged into it! I promise, we The two pigs were raised seriously and never ate any feed, so you just look at your uncle's face and help to talk about it. It's hard to raise them so big, and suddenly they don't want it, we... this..."

Such a poor person must have something to hate, Wei Jingze felt a little impatient when he saw that Aunt Wutang no longer had the crispness of slapping his daughter-in-law back then, and only had a flattering and flattering smile on her face.

In the army, if you make a mistake, you must also be punished according to discipline.Aunt Wutang's family didn't receive any real punishment for what happened last time. They probably thought it was over and it was okay at the time. Only now did they realize the consequences. They thought it was enough for others to punish them deliberately.

So Wei Jingze said: "Aunt Wutang, it's not that I won't help you. I think you know better than me what happened last time. I got the business in the village with a cheeky face. You do it like this. , I am really embarrassed to intercede for you, I am too embarrassed to even mention it, I am afraid to ask me, how did you guarantee it in the first place?"

After a few words, Aunt Wutang was also embarrassing and had no words to refute.

Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Wei Jingze said: "In the future, Mr. Jiang's business will only grow bigger and bigger. Everyone should work hard and don't have to worry about not being able to sell things. If you really do something wrong, I will lose face." It's not easy to use, Mr. Jiang doesn't even give face to the officials in the province."

In Jiang Yanzong's restaurant, the diners who come and go are either rich or noble, and they are all rich people in the province, so officials in the province are not uncommon. It may be because he is from the imperial capital, so Jiang Yanzong does not care about the officials in those provinces. Flatter like others.

Wei Jingze said this because he wanted everyone to stop thinking about taking shortcuts and do their jobs well.

Seeing that everyone listened to it, Wei Jingze felt a little relieved.

In October, there are also several companies that are going to build biogas digesters. They have all agreed with the master. In fact, they can also find others, but with the one from Wei Jingze's family in front, many people would rather wait. The master is free, other masters, who can guarantee what it will look like?And three of them made the same specifications as Wei Jingze's, mainly because they had a ready-made one, and they knew it well.

Therefore, people in the village don't dare to try new things by themselves, and they don't dare to take risks. They dare to try only when others take the lead.

On this day, Wei Jingze was busy at home when he received a call from Jiang Yanzong asking him to go to the restaurant.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Yanzong and Chen Han were waiting for him.

Chen Han looked quite happy, but Jiang Yanzong didn't show any special expression, so he let Wei Jingze sit down and pushed the fruit plate in front of Wei Jingze.

Wei Jingze sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Han said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, but Xiaojiang is going back to the imperial capital. I want you to come over and have a meal."

Wei Jingze was surprised: "Are you going back to the imperial capital? When? Are you coming back? What are you doing there?"

Chen Han patted him and said, "Don't worry, tell you slowly. Look at you in a hurry."

Wei Jingze's reaction really caught Chen Han and Jiang Yanzong by surprise. Chen Han felt that Wei Jingze was worried about the business, so he reacted a little bit more. Jiang Yanzong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't know why, so he didn't bother to investigate up.

Wei Jingze also felt that he had overreacted. When he heard that Jiang Yanzong was going back to the imperial capital, his first reaction was to be anxious.

Jiang Yanzong said: "It's just going back to deal with some things. I have to go back by myself. I may be away for some time, so if you have anything to do with you, you can discuss it with Chen Han. During my absence, he is fully in charge of the restaurant. matter."

Wei Jingze said oh, and at the same time he agreed, he felt a little disappointed, as if Jiang Yanzong didn't say what he expected, but Wei Jingze didn't know exactly what he wanted him to do.

Chen Han chuckled and said, "Yes, that's it. You are welcome with me. Xiao Jiang, let me tell you, my sheep will not wait for you. If you want to come back, you have to hurry up, or I will kill some of them." After the lamb has finished cooking the hot pot, you won’t be able to eat it even if you want to.”

eat hot pot?Isn't that November and December?Do you have to wait that long?Wei Jingze's mood became even more depressed. He hadn't seen Jiang Yanzong for so long.

Jiang Yanzong said, "I will try my best."

The three talked for a while, Chen Han stood up and said, "It's time, I'm going to cook, you two chat first."

After Chen Han left, the two were relatively silent for a long time.

It was Jiang Yanzong who said first: "I'm not here, if Chen Han needs help, please help."

Wei Jingze grunted, and agreed.

"You don't look energetic. Did something happen to you?" Jiang Yanzong asked. Wei Jingze glanced at him and shook his head. Was it obvious?He was indeed in a bad mood, but it wasn't because of anything else, it was because Jiang Yanzong was leaving.

Jiang Yanzong continued: "During this time, thank you so much, every time your massage helped me relieve a lot of pain."

Wei Jingze worked hard before he said, "What are you going back for?"

Jiang Yanzong spread his hands and said, "I'm going to settle some things. I can't say for sure yet. When I get back, I can tell you everything."

Hearing this, Wei Jingze suddenly got some comfort and said, "Then I'll wait for you to tell me."

Jiang Yanzong looked into his eyes and nodded.

"Will you open a shop in the imperial capital?"

Jiang Yanzong shook his head: "The time is not yet ripe, let's see it later."

For no reason, Wei Jingze felt much relieved.

Chen Han cooked this meal with great care. Everything was made of high-quality ingredients and he cooked it himself. However, even though the food was so good, Wei Jingze didn't think it was very appetizing.

After dinner, Jiang Yanzong took the driver to catch the plane. Chen Han said to Wei Jingze: "Xiao Jiang is not here, so it depends on the two of us!"

Wei Jingze nodded: "Okay."

After eating, Wei Jingze rode back on a small e-Donkey. The boredom in his heart was blown away, and he felt better, so he didn't look so listless.

As soon as he returned to the village, Wei Jingze felt that the atmosphere was not right, that something had happened.

The aunt next door said to Wei Jingze: "Uncle Lai was crushed by a tree when he was chopping it down!"

Uncle Lai is the one who makes tofu.

Wei Jingze hurriedly asked, "What about people now?"

"I called a car and took her to the hospital! Tsk tsk, there's a lot of blood! It's scary to look at."

It turned out that the trees on Lai Ye's own mountain had reached their age, and he wanted to sell them, so he took advantage of the slack time to cut trees on the mountain, and the buyers would come to drag them directly, and the price was slightly higher.But for some reason, the tree fell towards him, covering half of his body. If it wasn't because the place was close to the vegetable field, and someone was busy in the vegetable field, I am afraid no one would find out for a long time.

When the old man came back, Wei Jingze found out that they called him and wanted to borrow a car from Jiang Yanzong to take him to the hospital, but the phone couldn't get through.

Wei Jingze took out the phone and looked at it, it turned off automatically because it was out of battery.

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Wei Jingze said, "It's useless to get through. Mr. Jiang is going back to the imperial capital today, and he's about to use his car. His plane won't be delayed."

The old man didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to let Wei Jingze know about it, so that if someone asked him, he would have an answer.

"My brother is injured. He probably needs to lie down for a while. You can tell Master Chen that you can't make tofu these days. Tell people in advance so they can get ready."

Wei Jingze complied, and decided to go and see how his master was doing, and discuss the matter of tofu with him, since it was hard for him to make up his mind.

When I arrived at the hospital on a small electric donkey, I realized that Grandpa had just finished various examinations and was now preparing for surgery.

Seeing Wei Jingze, Lao Lai's aunt gave him a hammer and asked him why he didn't answer the phone. Wei Jingze understood that she was in a bad mood and didn't care about it. He explained that the phone was out of battery, and Jiang Yanzong himself had to use the car today. Category.

At this time, Wei Jingze found out that because the village chief's grandson and the blind woman had used Jiang Yanzong's car twice, the first reaction of the villagers was to ask Mr. Jiang to borrow a car.

Of course, saving lives is the most important thing, but you can't always take it for granted that others help you, can you?

Wei Jingze didn't mention this matter first, but asked, "What did the doctor say about you?"

"What else can I do? Broken bones, heavy bleeding, if the delivery is late, the blood will dry up, and the person will die." The tone was quite resentful.

Wei Jingze ignored this attitude and tone, and said, "It's good if it can be cured. I also want to ask you about the tofu matter, do you want me to say hello to Master Chen?"

"You don't need to say, I can make tofu. He is lying down now, and spending money in the hospital is like water. How can I let go of making tofu?"

Wei Jingze suddenly felt powerless, Lai Ye still made tofu in his old age, because he was a man and could still keep up with energy, so would this old Aunt Lai do it?

"Let's think about it again. Making tofu is so tiring. If you lie down too, what will you do with the three children? Who cares about the fields?"

Aunt Lao Lai was still stubborn: "It's my own fault that I'm exhausted."

In fact, I was already a little shaken in my heart, thinking that if I was really exhausted, and I had to spend money, and no one would do the family work, I might lose even more!

Wei Jingze wasn't in a very good mood today, and Aunt Lao Lai's tone was bad, so he didn't even bother to persuade him. Just as he was about to tell Chen Han that tofu couldn't be served these days, another group of people rushed over.

Hearing those people call Lai Ye, it should be their daughter, son-in-law, and grandson.Among the group of people, three are daughters, and the rest are the daughter's family members.

Lao Lai's aunt cried and complained to her daughter about her injuries, and the daughters' eyes were red, and they comforted each other by saying that it's okay to save them if there's nothing wrong, and it doesn't matter if they spend some money.

Lao Lai's aunt is also distressed. She finally earned tens of thousands of yuan in the past few months, but in the end it will all be filled in the hospital again.

Wei Jingze didn't participate in the family's conversation. After a while, the old aunt came over wiping her tears and said, "You don't have to worry about the tofu, my daughter will help me."

After Wei Jingze thought about it, he thought it would work. Anyway, the old aunt knows how to do it, and the daughter and son-in-law can do it.But this is not a long-term solution.

"Now, after the operation, my grandfather will definitely have to take care of her for a while. Your daughter and her family also have jobs, right? Then what will you do then?"

Aunt Lao Lai thought about it and said, "If there is really no other way, I will ask my son to come back."

Wei Jingze nodded and said, "That's fine, then I won't tell Master Chen. If there's anything going on with my master, remember to tell me, and I'll go back first."

Those people were still worried about the safety of the head of the family, and they were not too polite with Wei Jingze.

In the evening, the family came back from the urban area. The youngest daughter stayed with the grandfather in the urban area, the eldest daughter and eldest son-in-law came back to help make tofu, and the second daughter and the others came to help make tofu tomorrow.

Fortunately, it's the slack season now, otherwise I wouldn't have so much time to come and help.

As for the matter of calling his son back, Wei Jingze was not too clear about it, and it was not easy to inquire about his family affairs.

In October, when many winter vegetables were planted, Wei Jingze was also busy helping the old man grow vegetables.The late rice will be harvested again in October and November, and the weather will soon be cold, so the vegetable seedlings must stand before that.

Winter always makes people feel that there are few dishes, but Wei Jingze worked with the old man, and found that there are many vegetables to be planted in winter, not to mention cabbage and radishes, carrots, coriander (coriander), kohlrabi, shallots, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, celery, etc. , There are also winter cabbage mosses, short and small ones, not as tall and strong as red cabbage moss, but after the seeds are sown, there will be tender cabbage moss to eat around the Spring Festival.

While working in the field, I heard others gossip.

"You guys know about Big Niwan, right?"

"Tsk! How many people know about this! Do you think they will divorce?"

"How is it possible to get a divorce, not to mention how old the children are, but the job is still arranged by the family. After a divorce, what will she eat and drink?"

After listening for a long time, Wei Jingze finally understood that it was the son of the village party secretary in Damiwan who got involved with another daughter-in-law in their village and was arrested. The teacher who went to teach for a year after graduation, that is, Weiwei's current teacher, had a big fight with her husband. Not only did the people in Da Niwan watch the scene, but people around here also talked about it.

If it weren't for the special status of a teacher, people probably wouldn't be so keen on this gossip. Thinking about words such as teacher and village party secretary can make people associate a lot.

Someone else said: "What is this? His father also has this kind of virtue. Don't you remember what happened to his father back then?"

"Of course I remember! I heard that the wife of the blind man who fell into the river and died in the past had to get into a shabby house with the village party secretary in order to get work points. Otherwise, he will be less or not remembered!"

"Alas...that blind man is pitiful, he drowned within a few days of good life."

"It's not easy for his daughter-in-law. If it wasn't for a few children, who would be willing to suffer that kind of thing?"

"The blind daughter-in-law is just one of them. I heard that once during the Chinese New Year, someone went to his house to pay New Year's greetings. The door was closed, and there was a voice inside. Looking from the window, it seemed to be his sister-in-law and his sister-in-law's family. exist!"

"When did it happen?"

"It's been a long time. In that year, I remember that Jingjing was not born in my family yet!"

"That was a long time ago."

When the aunts talked about these gossips, they didn't seem to suppress their voices at all. Wei Jingze felt embarrassed when he heard it. At the same time, he was also secretly surprised. He didn't expect that there were so many unknown secrets in the countryside.

The matter of the party secretary of Dayiwan Village is only a small part.

And Wei Jingze was still thinking, isn't the son of the village party secretary in the town? The family ran back to the village, dated the mistress, and then went back. If it hadn't been broken this time, no one would have known about it.

The son of the village party secretary is not the village party secretary, but what is certain is that he will definitely be one of the leaders of Daniwan Village in the future. The village sages will enjoy the best resources in the village and obtain the greatest benefits.

Therefore, even if the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary makes a lot of trouble, the husband of the person who is with the son of the village party secretary does not make much trouble, because his wife's behavior can win more benefits for the family. Being scolded for wearing a cuckold is like a tortoise, and the benefits of being scolded without losing a piece of meat are real.

After gossiping about other people, they talked about their own affairs. The aunts are all ready to show their children a partner. At the end of the year and the Chinese New Year, the children will be back, and then they can go on a blind date.

The old man heard them talk about the blind date, so he asked Wei Jingze: "Do you want to have a blind date too?"

Wei Jingze shook his head hurriedly. Now the blind dates are all eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls. Wei Jingze always feels that he is a generation older than them, like someone else's uncle. He can't imagine living with them at all. How could it be possible? Go on a blind date with them?

The old man said slowly: "There is no need to worry about this matter. If you have a girl you like in the future, you can decide for yourself, and I won't interfere with you too much."

Wei Jingze responded casually, "I see."

Don't worry about finding a wife. People who don't see the right way and don't take it into their hearts don't have much fun staying together every day.

At this time, the lotus pods in the river were getting older, and the lotus leaves were also dark green, not as fresh and bright as before.After the lotus seeds are old, the lotus pods will wither like the lotus leaves, and gradually wither together. The black lotus seeds fall into the water and float away with the current. They are soaked and buried in the mud. It's suitable, very few can germinate and grow, so Wei Jingze will take some time to pick lotus pods on the river in a small broken boat.

During this period of time, every child who was doing homework at Wei Jingze's house came back with a few lotus pods in his hand. For them, Brother Ozawa's house was synonymous with delicious food and fun.

Wei Jingze and the old man couldn't finish the rest of the lotus pods, so they sent them to the restaurant for Chen Han to use as ingredients. Fresh lotus seeds are even more rare than dried lotus seeds.

In the evening, it was getting late, Wei Jingze was carrying a basket of lotus pods, driving the ducks with a pole in his hand, and Dafeng was beside him helping to take care of a few lambs, and they went home together.

Walking on the road, another villager walked towards him. Seeing his trousers rolled up and his body covered in water-stained mud, he guessed that he must have gone to the field to see the water.

"You duck, how do you walk like this?" The other party was amazed. The ducks walked in a row, which might not be particularly neat, but everyone knew at a glance that they were walking in a queue!

Wei Jingze smiled, and said, "I don't know why, but I made it like this. I really like it."

Of course it cannot be said that Wei Jingze did this on purpose, otherwise he would be regarded as a weirdo, doing some strange things.

The two stopped to talk, and the duck was already rattling forward, and the other party couldn't help but drag Wei Jingze and keep talking. After saying goodbye, Wei Jingze quickly caught up with his own duck.

Now, the duck already remembered what the route home looked like, and it walked home by itself without Wei Jingze fiddled with it.The phalanx of a large group of white ducks is very eye-catching. Two geese follow behind. In terms of size, they have shown a big difference, but these two guys regard themselves as ducks and flick their tails. Its head and the way it catches fish in the river to eat are very similar to ducks, but the boldness of daring to fight with roosters shows that it is still a goose at heart.

Now, when Wei Jingze is busy with other things, Dafeng will go to the river to watch the ducks and sheep, very conscientious, maybe because he is thinking about the duck eggs that the old man said back then.

Back home, the ducks consciously drank water from the basin, pecked at the millet and ate some, and then spread out to have fun.

When Wei Jingze returned home, the old man hadn't come back yet, so he was busy cooking, cooking, and feeding the pigs.

The pigs in the back had already heard the sound of someone coming back, and they all screamed at once, clamoring for something to eat.

Wei Jingze first grabbed a handful of sweet potato vines at the corner, threw them into the stone trough, and fed the pig's belly first, and the pig's food would be the main meal after the pig's food was cooked.

The pig food in this season is still a mixture of rice, bran, pigweed and sweet potato vines. When it is almost cooked, add some leftovers from the restaurant to make several pigs full. of.

It took more than ten minutes to cut the pigweed, make a pot of things, turn on the biogas stove and start cooking. You just need to turn it over later to prevent it from burning.

After choosing the dishes, cooking the rice, and preparing to stir-fry, the old man also came back.

It was getting dark, and the chickens, ducks, and geese began to return to their nests consciously. After the old man entered the house, he looked at Wei Jingze, then at the pig food, and looked through them before sitting down to drink.

Even when farmers go home, they still have a lot to worry about.

After feeding the pigs, the grandparents and grandchildren sat down to eat, and the old man said, "I just met Jianxin on the road. He said that his family plans to build a new house next year and asked me to borrow money."

Wei Jingze asked, "Then what do you think?"

Now almost all the money is in Wei Jingze's hands, because it is stored in his card, every time he receives the money, the old man is afraid that it will be unsafe, so he asks Wei Jingze to deposit it in the bank.

The old man said: "Just borrow some. Who doesn't borrow money to build a house these days? He said that it will cost a lot of money to build a house with three heads."

A house with several heads generally refers to a one-story house with several windows and door frames on the front. Generally, a window or a door is a room. This means that there are three rooms facing the front and three rooms at the back. In addition, two-story buildings are generally built now, so the area must be not small, and the cost is naturally not low.

The old man said to borrow, and Wei Jingze didn't have any objections. The folks in the village owed me some, and my family owed you. The relationship between the debts is really hard to explain.As for the old man, he didn't have many debts with others. He gave Uncle Pan all his money before, and he didn't have any money left. He didn't like to owe others money.Now everyone knows that their family sold millet for nearly 3 yuan. Although it cost a lot of money to buy fish fry, everyone guessed that the grandparents and grandchildren must still have a lot of money!

Speaking of building a house, the old man told Wei Jingze about some habits of making houses in the village. Most people build new houses, many of them are for their sons to marry a wife.When building a house, we try our best to choose it during the slack season. At that time, not only the villagers can come to help, but also craftsmen from other villages have time to come out to work.Today, the wages of artisans have risen from 30 to 100 yuan a day more than ten years ago to more than [-] yuan a day now. In addition to wages, they also have to manage food, tobacco and alcohol, which is similar to that of biogas masters who come to work. , In addition, materials also cost a lot of money. When buying bricks, cement, and steel bars, you have to be sure about the purchase. The price changes at different times, and the bricks fired by different kilns are not the same.

As for things like Fengshui these days, it is not so popular anymore. People generally build houses on the basis of their own old houses, and there is nothing particular about Fengshui.

Wei Jingze listened carefully, thinking in his heart, maybe the old man also had the idea of ​​building a new house, but the time is not yet ripe, so he didn't say it.

However, the money on hand is indeed a little short. To build a new house, it may have to wait until the Chinese New Year to sell a batch of fish.
