When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

Holding the second son in his arms, Fang Tianlin did not miss the other two.The eldest son is tossing the rattle. After several months of playing, the edges are fluffy. Now that he has become stronger, the rattle has suffered even more.Fang Tianlin watched, the eldest son probably wouldn't give up until he dismantled it.As for the youngest son, he glanced at the trees planted in the yard from time to time, and seemed to be somewhat interested in the crops that had just sprouted under the eaves.

Fang Tianlin frowned.The eldest and the third will not one want to be a craftsman and the other will continue to be a farmer, right?If this is the case, it would really blind their cleverness.It's not that Fang Tianlin looks down on these things, it's just that the general environment is such that at least one of the three children must be a leader, so that they won't be easily bullied in the future.It's not a worry to look down at this in his arms, maybe tell him one day that he wants to join the army to develop.

It's no use thinking too much, the kids are just babies and it's too early to worry about that.Fang Tianlin smiled helplessly. He would not have thought so carefully before. He probably thought about the future after getting a wife and child.

The situation in the field is not very good. Fang Tianlin has not yet figured out how to make the appearance of the "spring eye" logical, so he can only carry water with Shen Jiahe and the others to irrigate the field.

The summer harvest will be coming soon, so there is no need to worry about it this season. Although there is some water shortage, it is not serious.

Fortunately, Father Shen was willing to spend money to build a cart. If it was all carried by hand, it would be really sad to think about it.It is tiring enough to carry a load of water from the Shahe River to the house every day. It takes so many acres of fields to irrigate, and it is estimated that it will be exhausting in a few days.

There are not many people in Guangyan Village who have ox carts, and those who have carts have to use more, but more people can only carry them on their shoulders.Fortunately, the water shortage is not serious now, and the villagers can cope with it without watering the ground every day.

After a few days of busy work like this, the weather suddenly changed, and the rain that the villagers had been looking forward to for so long finally arrived in time.The thunderstorm lasted for three hours and completely soaked the field. Even though it didn't last long, the villagers were satisfied.The water in the Shahe River also rose sharply, and people's faces became less sad and replaced by smiling faces.

This year's harvest is not as good as last year, and everyone cherishes this achievement even more.Except for the two oldest granddaughters left behind by the Shen family to look after the children, all the children above the age of eight have left the fields.

Seeing Fang Tianlin, his eyes narrowed slightly.The Shen family's family situation has improved, but the children still have to work so hard. This only shows that the money they have earned over the past year is not enough to completely change the Shen family's life. He has to continue to find ways to make money.

The summer harvest went smoothly, but after the busy work, everyone was so tired that they took off their skins and fell asleep immediately after touching the bed.

The triplets seem to know that their parents are working hard, and even Shen Zhang, who is usually very lively, is much quieter, which saves Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe a lot of trouble.At this time, Fang Tianlin was particularly thankful that his three children were sensible. If it were ordinary children, the triplets would be noisy together, and they would get up early and go to the ground in the dark, and this day might not be able to survive.

After working on their own land, the four Shenjiahe brothers went to help the uncle's house again.Fang Tianlin took advantage of last year's blessing, and his aunt felt heartache when she saw him, and said that he didn't need his help, so he followed his sister-in-law and the others to work on the drying yard.

When it was close to noon, Fang Tianlin rushed home for dinner, and as soon as Fang Tianlin entered the yard, he found that the atmosphere was not right.After wiping off the sticky sweat on his body, as soon as he stepped into the main room, he saw Father Shen, who didn't smoke very much, smoking vigorously with a pipe stick.

Seeing this situation, Fang Tianlin knew that something was wrong.It's just that he searched in his mind, but he didn't think of any problem.

Father Shen didn't say anything, and Fang Tianlin and the others who are daughters-in-law were not easy to ask, so they ate their lunch in silence.It wasn't until the four Shenjiahe brothers returned home in the evening that Father Shen told everyone in the Shen family what he had learned.

The news obviously hasn't spread, otherwise, Fang Tianlin and the others would have known about it from other people.

It turned out that the hare's movement was not without reason.In the spring, there was a drought in several northern state capitals, and the other side of the Shangyang Mountains happened to be within this range. Wild animals migrated south and east by instinct, and the hares just entered the Shaochong Mountain area by mistake.Only a small part of them jumped out of the mountain forest, and the large group turned around immediately after the end and headed south.

This is only within the territory of the Jing Dynasty, and some countries bordering the Jing Dynasty in the north have not been spared.Most of these tribes in the north rely on nomadic herding for a living. Spring is the season for all things to grow. At this time, the pasture growth is not good, which means that the livestock will not have enough forage in the next period of time, and the food shortage of the herdsmen will follow. shortage.For this reason, they frequently commit crimes.The emperor of the Jing Dynasty was not a weak person who would be bullied by others, so he ordered the frontier soldiers to fight.

When the two armies go to war, food and grass go first.Money is what is fought in wars. After each battle, a large amount of taxes collected from the people must be filled in. In addition, several state capitals have suffered spring droughts. Although it is not particularly serious, funds have to be allocated for disaster relief, and money is needed. There are too many places, and the tax increase in the undisaster-affected areas has become a certainty.

That's all, the Shen family made a lot of money a while ago, and this amount of money can still afford it. Old Shen is worried about the issue of military service.Ordinary corvee service is better. It is not only simple and convenient to use silver to serve as a substitute, but also not expensive. If you encounter military service, even if you spend money to buy this quota, the Shen family's vitality will be greatly damaged. What's more, if you can't solve the problem with silver, The consequences were unimaginable.

It's really not that old man Shen is just worrying about the sky. He started a war at the border. No matter whether he wins or loses the battle, someone will definitely die in the battle, so he must replenish his troops. He can only hope that they won't be transferred from the state capital where they are located.

The Shen family's current family status already belongs to the upper class of Guangyan Village. For them, this increase in taxes is not too much, and the government officials will pay as much as they want.But for the already poor families, it is tantamount to making things worse.But what can they do? They don't have the capital to fight against the imperial court personally, and they don't have such outrageous ideas. They can only grit their teeth or borrow money, or sell everything to pay this small amount of taxes.

Looking at those people in tattered clothes and sad faces, even Fang Tianlin, an unrelated person, couldn't help feeling compassionate.It doesn't matter if they don't have the ability, but he still wants to help them if he has the ability.

When Fang Tianlin came to the backyard, he went to the chicken coop to check the situation first. Seeing that the chickens were very energetic, he ran to the field that he was in charge of alone.

After eating a lot of cabbages, except for the one that grew normally, he transplanted them to the vegetable plot that he will not use for the time being, and they are growing very well now.

As for the rest, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. This is already taken into consideration when planting, and there is not much need for thinning.Of course, this is just what Fang Tianlin thinks so much.Every time Father Shen saw the piece of land he was in charge of, he kept shaking his head. This piece of land was basically useless.Fang Tianlin's varieties are too messy, and he doesn't pay attention to the season of sowing. Many of them are out of season, either early or late. Fortunately, it's okay to only plant one crop. can harvest.

Just looking at all kinds of crops being planted together in a mess, Father Shen felt his eyes hurt, and he had to swear a few words every time to calm down.Only an enlightened parent like him would allow the third daughter-in-law to mess around like this, and anyone in Guangyan Village would have to drag the third daughter-in-law to preach.Farmers care most about the fields and crops, and no family will allow their children and grandchildren to do such harm.

Originally, Father Shen planned to give some young cabbage seedlings to his parents, eldest brother and third younger brother, so that they could try something new, but when he thought about the consequences of doing so, he stopped thinking about it.People know that his family is so extravagant, and they might say what to say about his family behind their backs. There is no reason to ruin the reputation of the third daughter-in-law for this, and at the same time bring it to the Shen family.

The effect of space water is not that strong. The growth of crops is only slightly better, and the growth period is only slightly shortened. Those that ripen once every two months can mature about a day and a half earlier. This reduction is almost negligible.Similarly, raising chickens only enhances the resistance of chickens and reduces the mortality rate, but it does not mean that they will not die.

After the summer harvest, Fang Tianlin's 91 chickens were reduced to 100.After more than two months, the chicken has grown to half its size, but it will take at least two or three months before it grows up, and it will take a little later to lay eggs.Fang Tianlin was very satisfied with this.He never imagined that he could raise [-]% of the chickens and control the number of deaths to less than [-], so the chickens could be raised.

The growth period of the chicken is long, and the effect of the second generation will not be visible for a while, so Fang Tianlin focused all his attention on Xiaobaicai.The first batch of cabbage planted has matured long ago and the cabbage moss has been drawn out to bloom and bear fruit. It will grow normally, and most of the cabbage in the field where there is no space touched by water will be pulled out before flowering, leaving only a few as plants. All the cabbages on the other two plots were reserved for seeds.

The growth period of cabbage is short, which is for the maturity period, and the flowering and fruiting period is counted, and this time is much longer.So far, the second batch of Chinese cabbage has just been sown not long ago.

It's late summer and the temperatures are warmer and the seeds are germinating faster.This time, Fang Tianlin also missed the germination time of the cabbage.He didn't pay much attention to this, he couldn't keep guard with an oil lamp all night just to observe the growth and development of the cabbage, then the Shen family should worry about whether he had a demonic disease.

Fang Tianlin has never studied plants, but he still has common sense.He knew that the experimental comparison needed to observe and record under the same conditions before the effect would be obvious.With such a rough approach like his, the error will be quite large when observed in different periods.

Fang Tianlin had no choice but to do this, the sun was shining brightly above his head, and reminded him again that the drought situation did not get much better.What made him even more worried was that there was already a drought on the other side of the Shangyang Mountains, and their side might not be spared.He didn't have much time, he had to determine the effect of the space water, so that he could have a general idea of ​​what to do next.

This time, cabbage was planted in a total of six plots, and Fang Tianlin marked them separately.

The No. [-] field uses normal cabbage seeds, that is, the seeds left in the first field, and then do not touch any water in the space, and let them grow normally.

The cabbage seeds sprinkled on the second plot and the third plot are the seeds from the original second plot. The only difference is that the second plot is directly soaked in ordinary water, while the third plot continues to be soaked in space water. Both lands no longer use space water.

Land No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] were sown from seeds, and the seeds of Chinese cabbage in the third land were irrigated with space water along the way.Similarly, land No. [-] no longer uses space water after that, the seeds of land No. [-] are soaked with space water, and land No. [-] uses space water throughout.

This is the only thing Fang Tianlin can do, and he doesn't need too detailed results, as long as the error is not so large that he can't be sure whether the result meets his expectations.

Seeing Fang Tianlin tossing the plot of land in a variety of ways, the Shen family felt a little confused. Are those cabbages so attractive?

Father Shen often swallowed the words that came to his lips.Since he gave the land to the third daughter-in-law to grow, there is no need for him to speak at this time. If there is no harvest until next year, he can take it back and grow vegetables normally, and let him mess with it now.

Adults may not care about this, and think that Fang Tianlin is "playing" in different ways, but the children don't think so, including the oldest Shen Song, they are all very curious about Fang Tianlin's actions, and often follow him Ask this and that around.

Ever since he had triplets, Fang Tianlin was so patient, he didn't hide anything except space water, and told him exactly why he did what he did.Of course, the water in the space is replaced by other things, such as the amount of fertilizer. Anyway, it is to let the children understand that the growth conditions of the six plots of cabbage are different. Seed.

The first batch of Chinese cabbage was relatively lucky, and there was no pest damage. The second batch was not so lucky, and the six plots suffered from different degrees of pest damage.Not only the field that Fang Tianlin was in charge of, but also many vegetables in the vegetable garden had the same situation.He picked up a worm and looked at it, it seemed to be cabbage caterpillar.

The emergence of pests made Fang Tianlin intuitively feel in advance that the ability of the six plots of cabbage to resist pests and diseases happened to be arranged in order.The weakest is naturally No. [-], and the strongest is No. [-].This is much more obvious than the growth and growth period shortening.Only a small part of the cabbage in No. [-] land was infested by insects, and the spread rate was very low. In No. [-] land, more than half of the cabbages had insect eyes, and there were small holes in the leaves. No matter what, if the pests continue to wreak havoc, they will appear A miserable scene riddled with holes.

Where did Fang Tianlin know how to kill insects?Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the small figures of children catching insects in the vegetable field, and he racked his brains to come up with a way. Plant ash seemed to have the effect of killing insects.He didn't care if it was useful or not, he told Shen Jiahe about it that night.

Even if this method is useless, there is no loss. Shen Jiahe also had the same idea as Fang Tianlin, and directly stepped into the upper room.

The next day, Mr. Shen took a watering can and started spraying stove ashes on the vegetables that had been infested by insects.It worked well, and after a day, the bugs were visibly less.Father Shen sprayed the stove with ashes for several days, and the pests were basically contained, but the traces left by the insects could not be erased. The holes on the vegetable leaves were really unsightly.Fortunately, the Shen family didn't make a living by selling vegetables, they ate it for themselves, even if it was ugly, it would be ugly, as long as they didn't get harmed.

Cabbage caterpillar is a very common pest, and the frequency of this kind of pest is not low when growing vegetables. The Shen family is not the only one in Guangyan Village.

Father Shen knew his third son's ability, and the simple and practical method of using plant ash to kill insects was probably done by the third daughter-in-law.He didn't expose it, and called his third son to discuss with him whether he could teach this method to the village.

This was Fang Tianlin's idea. Shen Jiahe couldn't make the decision without authorization, so he immediately said that he had to go back and think about it.

Seeing the back of the third son going away, Father Shen smiled and shook his head.The third daughter-in-law is such a capable person, why doesn't the in-laws know how to cherish it?If he had been treated better in the past, so that he would at least not have to be hungry, the Fang family might have recovered slowly. How could it be reduced to the point where they wanted to sell their son in disguise?

Fang Tianlin never thought of covering up the matter of preventing pests from plant ash, and when Shen Jiahe asked him what he meant, he immediately agreed with Father Shen's approach.Reputation is very important in any era. If this method is spread, the Shen family's status in Guangyan Village can be raised a bit. It is a win-win thing, and he doesn't mind doing more.

Fang Tianlin didn't care about the pest infestation, but he thanked them in his heart.The appearance of the bugs made him know in advance that the effect of space water is not a one-off, but directly changes the genetic properties of the seeds, which can be passed down from generation to generation.

In this way, the effect of space water is greatly magnified.Although the changes in each generation are not obvious, if accumulated over a long period of time, after five or six generations, or even ten generations, the difference will be huge.The most important thing is that space water is to improve the overall performance, not a one-way efficiency increase, although the improvement rate in all aspects is not completely the same.

After knowing the function of space water, Fang Tianlin stopped running to the backyard three times a day.He began to think about how to maximize the efficacy of space water.It's okay if there is no natural disaster, but if there is a disaster, the Shen family alone will not work, even if they have money.

At that time, if you don't even have enough to eat, who cares about other things?Facing the hungry refugees, the wealthy families would be the first to suffer. The Shen family even counted the triplets, and the number of them was less than twenty. It doesn't work.Ask them to choose between starving to death or being beaten to death, and it is estimated that many people will choose the latter.

The only way Fang Tianlin could think of was to unite all the people in Guangyan Village and twist them into one rope, only then would it be possible to fight against the refugees and bandits.To ensure this, the first condition is that everyone has food and drink.It's okay to drink, as long as the "spring eye" is dug out reasonably, the problem of drinking water can be solved immediately.It's troublesome to eat. The effect of space water is slow, and it can't greatly shorten the growth period of animals and plants. He has to find a way to cultivate more second-generation and third-generation seed livestock.

"Jiahe, is the small wood behind our village for sale?" Guangyan Village has a lot of people, and there is almost no wasteland. Fang Tianlin only thinks about this place after much deliberation.The forest is not big, only about two or three acres. If it is not expensive, he will buy it. It is quite suitable for raising chickens.

"Oh, there, it's for sale, but no one wants it." Shen Jiahe looked puzzled, "Daughter-in-law, why are you asking this, do you want to buy it?"

"Well, you can go with me to discuss with dad in a while to see if this plan is feasible." This matter cannot be concealed. Besides, as Fang Tianlin's daughter-in-law of Shen Jiahe, it is impossible to act in private. He must go through Shen Jiahe and Shen Jiahe. The next step can only be taken if the father agrees, and Fang Tianlin speaks bluntly.

"Daughter-in-law, is this okay?" Shen Jiahe was a little at a loss, his clothes clenched tightly.The daughter-in-law's idea is too bold. The Shen family has not yet separated, so it is logical that all the family business should be under the control of the head of the family, Father Shen.The daughter-in-law wanted to buy the forest and put it in his or his wife's name, and share the profits from raising livestock with the family. As for how to divide it, it is still open to discussion.

This was truly the first time in Guangyan Village.It's not that a daughter-in-law can't use her dowry to buy land on her own, but that it's only the wives of rich and noble families who think about these things, and the farmers who plan their food in the soil don't have such thoughts at all.What's more, Fang Tianlin's only dowry was subsidized by the Shen family, and he couldn't even fool him.

Fortunately, the two elders of the Shen family are more open-minded. The four brothers of Shen Jiahe have each saved some money, and the woods only grow some sparse trees, which are worthless. Can Dad nod his head.

"Do you agree?" Fang Tianlin tilted his head slightly, looking directly at Shen Jiahe.He didn't worry much about Father Shen, he cared more about Shen Jiahe's reaction.If even the person next to him doesn't agree with him, then he has too much to do. Turning a person's thinking around is a big project.He never thought of giving up, it's not his style to back down whenever he encounters trouble, but if he can get Shen Jiahe's approval, he will be even happier.

Shen Jiahe naturally had no objection, but he was still a little worried. Before going out, he did not forget to say a few words: "Daughter-in-law, this matter has to be discussed slowly. If your parents object, you can't confront them. Let's talk about it carefully."

"Do I look like this kind of person?" Fang Tianlin cast a sideways glance at Shen Jiahe.

"Like." Shen Jiahe almost blurted out, but he swallowed the words to save face for his wife.

Fang Tianlin looked amiable, not easily angry, and most of the time he put on a smiling face, but his aura was not like that of a farmer, but more like those lucky soldiers who survived the battlefield.Of course, this feeling is only obvious to Shen Jiahe who gets along with Fang Tianlin day and night. Even the rest of the Shen family only think that he has a tall and straight figure and a very stylish walk.

Shen Jiahe didn't worry about anything else, he was only worried about where his parents would poke his daughter-in-law and offend him all of a sudden, it would be a bit unsightly for the daughter-in-law to contradict the two elders without paying attention for a while.He can't let this kind of thing have the slightest possibility to happen, and it is necessary to take precautions in advance.

Seeing Shen Jiahe's appearance as if facing a formidable enemy, Fang Tianlin was delighted.I didn't expect his daughter-in-law to feel quite sensitive. If she doesn't step on his bottom line, she has always had a good temper. Regardless of whether she has crossed the line or is incompetent, she will not let herself be aggrieved if she is capable. She can do whatever she wants. A fetish for shitting on the head.However, is my daughter-in-law's reaction a bit bigger?The two elders are his in-laws, and they are in the Jing Dynasty, how could he directly confront them?Even if they don't agree, there are plenty of solutions, and there's really no need to.
