Originally, Father Shen and the others were still reluctant to eat these, but Fang Tianlin would consciously or unintentionally mention it every time he ate, that good things should be left to his family, and it is better to be cheaper than others.
After he tirelessly inculcated this idea, the frequency of eggs appearing on the Shen family's dinner table increased significantly.It wasn't until Fang Tianlin accidentally mentioned one day that Shen Jiahe's hands were smoother than before, and the number of children in the family became sick less, everyone suddenly realized, and then began to look for the reason.
Under Fang Tianlin's deliberate guidance, the Shen family focused on high-quality eggs, and no one ever said that eating eggs was a waste.
As Fang Tianlin said, good things should be left to his family, who would hate too much nutritious ingredients?Since then, everyone in the Shen family has become more concerned about the chicken farm and full of confidence in the future.
Fang Tianlin knew that the essence of space water was good, at least much better than the inner space water.Although he doesn't know the effect of eating eggs laid by big chickens fed with space water, but if it is inferred from this, it is definitely better than drinking space water for a long time.
Fang Tianlin felt that his inference was correct. He believed that so much space water was not fed for nothing. Even if a lot was wasted, some of it must have been absorbed by the chickens.If it continues to be fed like this, the efficacy of these chickens can even exceed the essence of space water.
Thinking of this, Fang Tianlin frowned.He originally planned to feed the chickens with space water for a year, but it seems that this plan will not work, and it is best to stop using it immediately.He can't take this risk. It hasn't been long since the high-quality eggs have been on the market in large quantities, and the effect is not so fast, so it will be hard to say in the future.
Many people who can buy eggs for a long time are good people, and their sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of the Shen family.Fang Tianlin believed that even without his prior guidance, Father Shen and the others would still notice the changes in his body after a long time, let alone these people?
Once people know the specific efficacy of eggs, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be.Eggs are still second, and the effectiveness of chickens may be more obvious.It seems that he has to pay more attention in the future, and stop using space water unscrupulously to feed livestock for a long time. Even the food and vegetables produced in the experimental field are limited to his own family consumption.When the food quality is fully improved, the Shen family will not be so conspicuous.
Fang Tianlin was quite worried up to this point, but later he thought about it, the Shen family provided a limited number of eggs to the market every day, at most three to five hundred eggs a day, unless he really likes to eat this, otherwise he can eat all the eggs he wants. It's really difficult.It's not that they can't buy it, but it was estimated that they would not pay attention to these at the beginning, and would only treat them as ordinary high-quality ingredients.
It is not ordinary people who can afford high-quality eggs. They can eat a lot of things, and they basically change their dishes. They may not repeat the same dishes for several days in a row. Who would eat the same food for every meal? same food?
Thinking about it this way, Fang Tianlin felt relieved. Even if someone notices this, it won’t be too long. By then, the market will probably be flooded with other similar goods. As long as the items provided by the Shen family are not too high in quality, they will be easy to buy. It is difficult to attract people's coveted.
After thinking it over, Fang Tianlin was all worried.He believed that as long as there was enough time left for him, the Shen family would be able to take appropriate measures.When that time comes, even if someone wants to plot against the Shen family, it will not be a big problem.Unless there is only one family coveting the Shen family's goods, there is room for change in this matter.
Although the Shen family is incompetent, they can find a few powerful people to cooperate and let the partners deal with other people, wouldn't it be good?He can't just shrink back and dare not do anything because he is afraid of the possible threat. It's better to stay in the village and deal with the fields all his life, and he doesn't have to think about how to make a fortune.
Fang Tianlin's request is not high, he never thought of becoming rich in the world, so that even the emperor would be jealous, and he tried every means to suppress the Shen family and take the huge amount of property into his own.From this perspective, as long as the Shen family stays calm, has a better vision, and finds the right partner, it will be safe.There are many ready-made examples. Even a small Fuyang County has several wealthy businessmen.
Thinking about it, Fang Tianlin smiled.He thought a little too much, the Shen family was far from this level.Space water is easy to use, but it's not that Jingchao doesn't have ingredients and medicines with similar functions, but the price is not as cheap as eggs.What's more, the quantity provided by the Shen family is only so small, maybe even if someone knows about their effects, they won't attract as much attention as he thought.
Fang Tianlin greeted Liu Cheng, and carried Shen Zhang, who was looking around, back to the room.The two wandered around outside, it was still early in the morning, and there was still no movement in the room.
Fang Tianlin put Shen Zhang on the kang, took off his thick coat, and let him play on the kang by himself.He got up to get food for the little guy. The second son woke up for a while, and he should be hungry by this time.
When the strong milk fragrance came out from the room, Shen Bi and Shen Huang woke up one after another, and Shen Jiahe also opened his misty eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Zhang immediately regained his spirits, climbed to the top of the kang in twos and twos, and after imprinting a slobber kiss on Shen Jiahe's cheek, he and his brothers made a fuss.
Fang Tianlin didn't let them fight this time, the eldest son and the younger son just woke up, if they don't take care of their personal hygiene first, they might wet the bed later.But he only has one pair of hands, so he can only come one by one.Unexpectedly, just as he packed up his eldest son, Shen Jiahe also carried his younger son to the separate clean room.
The eyes of the two met unexpectedly in the air.
After Shen Jiahe realized it, he immediately turned his head away, a thin layer of blush appeared on his face.Fang Tianlin couldn't stop laughing in his heart, but his face was serious.He didn't want to see his daughter-in-law avoiding the outside because of his wanton laugh.
The Shen family's life this year is much better than the previous year, which can be seen from the dinner table.Every meal is full of fish and meat, as long as the ordinary meat that can be bought in the market can be seen on the table of Shen's family.
After the New Year's Eve, all members of the Shen family looked rosy.The nourishment of space water for two years, coupled with the gradual catch-up of nutrition, will burst out concentratedly at this time.Now, not only Fang Tianlin, who observed carefully from time to time, but even outsiders noticed the difference.
Asked by others, Father Shen and the others went over laughing.Everyone knows what's going on, the Shen family is getting better, eating better than before, it would be abnormal if there is nothing different.The villagers just asked this question, no matter how the Shen family answered, they would understand it according to their own ideas.
Just after the Lantern Festival, the Shen family ushered in two guests, needless to say, one was Hu's tent, and the other was shopkeeper Fang.
Fang Tianlin didn't need to come forward to settle the tent, so he accompanied shopkeeper Fang to Shulinzi.The goods have been prepared long ago, just ask someone to move them into the carriage.Shopkeeper Fang didn't stay long, and left after sitting for a while.
The Shen family is just such a business partner, except for shopkeeper Fang, no one else came to the door after that.No one disturbed, so Fang Tianlin immersed himself in practicing calligraphy with Hu's tent.
Time passed day by day, and it was February in February in a blink of an eye.At this time, farmers have begun to appear in the fields to prepare for spring plowing.
The four Shenjiahe brothers were all too busy learning to read and couldn't get away, so they could only go to the fields in the morning and evening to help.Father Shen didn't even agree with this at first. Everyone knows how difficult it is to learn how to read, and work will take up study time. Even if it's just self-study, that can't be underestimated.Maybe because of the lack of after-class review, you have to recognize a few words less, wouldn't that be very regrettable?
Shen Jiahe and the others persuaded old father Shen with their good talk.There are as many as eight people in the Shen family participating in the study, so it would not be a problem to select a few people.Together, the eight of them memorized all the characters they learned in the past 20 days, and they knew how to read and recognize those who didn’t know how to read.With a book in hand, if you pick out a single word, the probability that none of the eight people will recognize it is infinitely close to zero, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Third daughter-in-law, are these really good breeds as you said?" Father Shen reconfirmed.Crops are the lifeblood of farmers, and the quality of seeds is related to the harvest of a season, which cannot be ignored.Although he knew that the third daughter-in-law was capable, but he was still uncertain about risking his family's land.
"Ah."
As early as last year when the harvest was just being harvested, Fang Tianlin had talked to Old Man Shen incidentally, and now that he brought it up again, Old Man Shen had to take it seriously.This has almost become a law, at least so far, his third daughter-in-law has not made any mistakes, so he has to think carefully.
Farmers generally don't use their own grain seeds because they don't have the skills.Of course, this usually refers to fine grains such as wheat and rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and there are not a few people who use their own seeds.They also had no choice. Jingchao's grain yield per mu was not high. If there were any problems with grain varieties, the yield would be even worse.For a little more money, you can get more benefits, and most people are willing to pay this money.
It was the same with the Shen family in the past. Except for some vegetables and coarse grains that they had grown by themselves, they basically bought them at the government-run grain store.
Father Shen closed his eyes halfway, thinking about how to deal with this matter.Originally, he thought about getting an acre and a half for the third wife to toss about. With the chicken farm as the foundation, he didn't feel heartache for wasting an acre of land.But what the third daughter-in-law meant was to plant all the so-called "good seeds" he provided into the ground.He went to the granary to see that there were a lot of them. If they were all planted, they would basically fill up the rest of the land, which would be a bit tricky.
With the current earning speed of the Shen family, even if they don't farm the land, they can live a good life.But knowing this, Father Shen would not take his own farm as a joke.The farmland is the last way out for the Shen family. If something happens to the chicken farm and something goes wrong in the field, how will the Shen family live?
Father Shen didn't speak, Shen Jiahai and the others didn't speak, the atmosphere in the upper room was a little stagnant for a while.
Shen Jiahe glanced at his daughter-in-law sitting next to him, then at Father Shen, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.He trusts his wife inexplicably, but he can't give a reason. It's better not to interrupt his father's thinking, and he will say anything later.
After thinking for a long while, Father Shen already had an idea in his mind.He looked around and asked, "If you have any opinions, tell them."
"Father, although the drought situation was greatly relieved by the snowfall last winter, but until now, apart from the snow, there hasn't been a drop of rain. It's hard to say what will happen after that." Shen Jiahai frowned slightly, and continued after a short pause. Said, "I reckon that this season's grain harvest is likely to be poor. In this case, it is better to use the grain seeds left by the third sibling. Everyone has eaten the vegetables he grows, and they taste good. Although the yield per mu has not been measured, at least it is low. Why don't we plant it if we don't go anywhere?"
"I agree with elder brother's opinion, but potatoes accounted for the vast majority of the seeds left by the third sibling, and the remaining sweet potatoes and corn are very small. Isn't the whole variety too simple?" Some are not so good.Although potatoes are also food, they taste pretty good, but if you eat too much of this thing, you will have a strange taste in your mouth. Even if you are still hungry, you don't want to eat it anymore. He doesn't want to see it being used as a staple food.
"Second brother, this is not a big problem. Our family can't eat that much, so we just take it to the grain store and sell it." Shen Jiaxi said.
"Things are not that simple. The fourth brother is talking about the situation in a normal year. Since the year before last, the family has basically not sold food outside. Before that, it was because the family had an extra source of income and wanted to save food for emergencies. Now it is the drought. If it hasn't been completely over, it's almost the same to bring food home, how can it be sold out? Don't forget that the price difference between buying and selling is not small." Shen Jiahai disagreed with Shen Jiaxi's statement.
"That's true." Shen Jiaxi thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Brother, this matter is not difficult to solve. Why don't we just buy grain from the grain store? Just buy it in the village. In this way, the price difference will be almost zero .”
"What you said makes sense." Shen's family's face was filled with joy, and he was no longer worried about such a sad scene of eating potatoes every day.
Shen Jiahe looked at the brothers talking to each other, expressing their views, although there were some minor issues to be dealt with, but the opinions were generally the same, and they all agreed with Fang Tianlin, he was very happy in his heart.This matter was brought up by his wife, the husband and wife were one, the eldest brother and the others knew what he thought without asking, so he sat aside and listened cheerfully.
Seeing that the sons had finished discussing and they agreed with his thoughts, Father Shen immediately made a decision: "Then it's settled, go check the number of seeds first, and if there are not enough, replace them with the ones left by the family."
With a decision, the Shen family immediately acted.Now that the family has a cow, it saves a lot of effort to cultivate the land. If there is spare time, it can even be plowed deeply. Coupled with the many fertilizers provided by the chicken farm, if the weather is normal, then there will be a bumper crop this season.
The Shen family has a chicken farm as their backing. Even though the water level on the Shahe River is still not deep after the snow has melted, they are not too worried.
There are many Shen family members, even without Shen Jiahai and others, the counting of the grain is still very fast.It didn't take long for the granary to take stock.
"Second brother, is what you said true?" Shen Xi became interested, "Where did you get the seeds?"
"My third daughter-in-law entrusted someone to buy it." Father Shen's face turned pale, and then he smiled, "My family has never grown potatoes, so I can't guarantee that the yield per mu of these potatoes will be better than yours. Whether to grow them or not , You have to think about it yourself, and when you save it, the yield per mu is not high, so you come and ask me for an explanation. But I will tell you the truth, all the potatoes grown in my field are like this. "
Shen Xi couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he didn't respond immediately, but returned home and called his two sons, and began to discuss this matter carefully.
"Father, how many potato seeds does the second uncle's family have in total?" Shen Jiahu didn't rush to answer, but instead asked about the number of seeds.
"Not much, probably one acre can be planted."
"Then there's nothing to consider. Plant it. Even if the yield per mu is not high and the loss is not too great, it's impossible to have no harvest at all." Shen Jiabao didn't care much.
Seeing the attitude of the two sons, Shen Xi couldn't help shaking his head.After all, he is young and energetic, and dares to try anything. When they reach his age, they will think more, and naturally their worries will also increase.One mu of land is not a small amount, that's all, since the two sons agreed, he didn't stop it, maybe it was really a good breed, and his family could benefit from it.
Spring plowing is coming, and the teaching in Hu's tent is coming to an end.At the end of the last day of teaching, under the watchful eyes of Shen's family, Hu Zhangfang took a pile of farm products and got on a bullock cart towards Yufeng Town, where he would transfer to Fuyang County.
Now that the Shen family's wealth is getting stronger, Fang Tianlin originally wanted to propose to hire a few short-term laborers, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.Now is not the time, wait and see, when the weather is normal, the sudden wealth of the Shen family will not be so conspicuous, at least it will not become the target of public criticism.
The spring plowing was in full swing, and Fang Tianlin could deeply understand the difficulty of being a farmer at this time.That kind of hard work is hard for ordinary people to imagine.
At the end of the day's work, Shen Jiahe and the others packed up their things and started heading home.
Before Fang Tianlin entered the house, he saw a few small figures standing behind the threshold from a distance.Shen Jiahe also noticed, the two quickened their pace, and soon came to the gate of the courtyard.
"Hey, why did you come out?" Fang Tianlin smiled and watched the children lying on the threshold, looking in front of the door from time to time.
"Father, Father." The trio played, making Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe smile happily.
"I don't know what's going on today. They insisted on waiting at the door. I couldn't help it, so I took them out." Mrs. Zhang also had a smile on her face.She was delighted that her grandson was so cute, as long as it was not an excessive request, she would not refuse it.Besides, they are usually very obedient, and she is willing to satisfy them if they ask for it once in a while.
Both Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe's clothes were stained with mud, and they were very dirty, so they didn't intend to take their sons back to their room.The children didn't think so either, they had a very keen sense of smell, they had already smelled the peculiar smell of their parents, and they didn't have the slightest intention of begging for a hug, but this didn't mean that they didn't want to get close to Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe.
No, just as the two of them were about to take a step, the triplets surrounded them and reached out to reach for theirs.Seeing this, the two quickly put down the things on their bodies, and slowly walked back to the room with the children.
After Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe cleaned up, the usually lazy Shen Bi began to pull Fang Tianlin's trousers out.The other two were no exception, and Shen Zhang was even more excited to speak the language of an unknown country.
Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe looked at each other, and reluctantly followed the wishes of the triplets, carried them to the door one by one, and let them lead the way.Fang Tianlin has only been busy outside for a few days, but he wants to see what new tricks his sons have come up with, and he even waited for them to go home.
The destination is not far, just in the backyard, but for the triplets with short hands and short feet, that is not a small challenge.
Fang Tianlin thought for a while. He remembered that few people in the family would take the children to play in the vegetable garden. After all, the triplets were only one and a half years old, and such a small front yard was enough for them to play. There was no need to bring them to the backyard.He reckoned that it was just a few days ago, otherwise he wouldn't have been unaware.
As soon as they arrived at the place, the three little guys immediately walked towards their respective goals, each of them picked up something from the ground, and then ran to their parents with their hands raised high to offer the treasure, smiling so hard that they couldn't see their teeth.
Fang Tianlin didn't know what to say after reading it.I thought to myself, isn't this the dried mud?Is there any special function?In order not to hit the children, he could only take it with a smile.
Shen Jiahe didn't think too much about it, he happily accepted the child when he gave it to him, and the scene was extremely harmonious.
Fang Tianlin didn't pay much attention to it at first, until he held two pieces of mud in his hands and took a closer look, he found something unusual.The mud clod is only the size of a child's palm, but the shape is too regular, as if it was made out of a mold, which made him feel shocked.
Seeing his parents accepting the things, Shen Bi lifted up the bib on his chest, wiped off the crystals around his mouth, and shouted happily: "Father, burn, burn!"
"Burn?" Fang Tianlin was confused.He looked down at the mud in his hands carefully, and a vague idea appeared in front of him.It's not really what he thought. Did the eldest son mean to let him burn bricks?This is too outrageous, right?
Fang Tianlin turned his head and looked at Shen Jiahe, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.Not to mention anything else, just the fact that a child less than two years old can squeeze out a standard cuboid is enough to make people inexplicable. If there is something else, this is really...
Fang Tianlin put away his smile, bent down, and at eye level with Shen Bi, asked very seriously: "Who else knows this?"
Shen Bi was puzzled, wondering why his father stopped smiling.
Seeing this, Fang Tianlin changed the sentence into other ways that were easier to understand, and asked over and over again until Shen Bi roughly understood it.As a result, he only got the answer that the eldest son shook his head, which means no one saw it?
Fang Tianlin was worried, and asked another way: "Then who brought you here?"
This time Shen Bi replied immediately: "Miao, sister."
Fang Tianlin breathed a sigh of relief, since Shen Bi said so, it should be Shen Miao from the elder brother's family who brought them here and then left, otherwise the eldest son would not have shook his head to answer the previous question.
As soon as he relaxed his mind, Fang Tianlin became terrified instead.It's not a big deal if the Shen family sees this, but if outsiders find out that the Shen family has three children with such abnormal behavior, how can they live in peace in the future?
After he tirelessly inculcated this idea, the frequency of eggs appearing on the Shen family's dinner table increased significantly.It wasn't until Fang Tianlin accidentally mentioned one day that Shen Jiahe's hands were smoother than before, and the number of children in the family became sick less, everyone suddenly realized, and then began to look for the reason.
Under Fang Tianlin's deliberate guidance, the Shen family focused on high-quality eggs, and no one ever said that eating eggs was a waste.

Although the Shen family is incompetent, they can find a few powerful people to cooperate and let the partners deal with other people, wouldn't it be good?He can't just shrink back and dare not do anything because he is afraid of the possible threat. It's better to stay in the village and deal with the fields all his life, and he doesn't have to think about how to make a fortune.
Fang Tianlin's request is not high, he never thought of becoming rich in the world, so that even the emperor would be jealous, and he tried every means to suppress the Shen family and take the huge amount of property into his own.From this perspective, as long as the Shen family stays calm, has a better vision, and finds the right partner, it will be safe.There are many ready-made examples. Even a small Fuyang County has several wealthy businessmen.

If they were all planted, they would basically fill up the rest of the land, which would be a bit tricky.
With the current earning speed of the Shen family, even if they don't farm the land, they can live a good life.But knowing this, Father Shen would not take his own farm as a joke.The farmland is the last way out for the Shen family. If something happens to the chicken farm and something goes wrong in the field, how will the Shen family live?
Father Shen didn't speak, Shen Jiahai and the others didn't speak, the atmosphere in the upper room was a little stagnant for a while.
Shen Jiahe glanced at his daughter-in-law sitting next to him, then at Father Shen, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.He trusts his wife inexplicably, but he can't give a reason. It's better not to interrupt his father's thinking, and he will say anything later.
After thinking for a long while, Father Shen already had an idea in his mind.He looked around and asked, "If you have any opinions, tell them."
"Father, although the drought situation was greatly relieved by the snowfall last winter, but until now, apart from the snow, there hasn't been a drop of rain. It's hard to say what will happen after that." Shen Jiahai frowned slightly, and continued after a short pause. Said, "I reckon that this season's grain harvest is likely to be poor. In this case, it is better to use the grain seeds left by the third sibling. Everyone has eaten the vegetables he grows, and they taste good. Although the yield per mu has not been measured, at least it is low. Why don't we plant it if we don't go anywhere?"
"I agree with elder brother's opinion, but potatoes accounted for the vast majority of the seeds left by the third sibling, and the remaining sweet potatoes and corn are very small. Isn't the whole variety too simple?" Some are not so good.Although potatoes are also food, they taste pretty good, but if you eat too much of this thing, you will have a strange taste in your mouth. Even if you are still hungry, you don't want to eat it anymore. He doesn't want to see it being used as a staple food.
"Second brother, this is not a big problem. Our family can't eat that much, so we just take it to the grain store and sell it." Shen Jiaxi said.
"Things are not that simple. The fourth brother is talking about the situation in a normal year. Since the year before last, the family has basically not sold food outside. Before that, it was because the family had an extra source of income and wanted to save food for emergencies. Now it is the drought. If it hasn't been completely over, it's almost the same to bring food home, how can it be sold out? Don't forget that the price difference between buying and selling is not small." Shen Jiahai disagreed with Shen Jiaxi's statement.
"That's true." Shen Jiaxi thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Brother, this matter is not difficult to solve. Why don't we just buy grain from the grain store? Just buy it in the village. In this way, the price difference will be almost zero .”
"What you said makes sense." Shen's family's face was filled with joy, and he was no longer worried about such a sad scene of eating potatoes every day.
Shen Jiahe looked at the brothers talking to each other, expressing their views, although there were some minor issues to be dealt with, but the opinions were generally the same, and they all agreed with Fang Tianlin, he was very happy in his heart.This matter was brought up by his wife, the husband and wife were one, the eldest brother and the others knew what he thought without asking, so he sat aside and listened cheerfully.
Seeing that the sons had finished discussing and they agreed with his thoughts, Father Shen immediately made a decision: "Then it's settled, go check the number of seeds first, and if there are not enough, replace them with the ones left by the family."
With a decision, the Shen family immediately acted.Now that the family has a cow, it saves a lot of effort to cultivate the land. If there is spare time, it can even be plowed deeply. Coupled with the many fertilizers provided by the chicken farm, if the weather is normal, then there will be a bumper crop this season.
The Shen family has a chicken farm as their backing. Even though the water level on the Shahe River is still not deep after the snow has melted, they are not too worried.
There are many Shen family members, even without Shen Jiahai and others, the counting of the grain is still very fast.It didn't take long for the granary to take stock.
"Second brother, is what you said true?" Shen Xi became interested, "Where did you get the seeds?"
"My third daughter-in-law entrusted someone to buy it." Father Shen's face turned pale, and then he smiled, "My family has never grown potatoes, so I can't guarantee that the yield per mu of these potatoes will be better than yours. Whether to grow them or not , You have to think about it yourself, and when you save it, the yield per mu is not high, so you come and ask me for an explanation. But I will tell you the truth, all the potatoes grown in my field are like this. "
Shen Xi couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he didn't respond immediately, but returned home and called his two sons, and began to discuss this matter carefully.
"Father, how many potato seeds does the second uncle's family have in total?" Shen Jiahu didn't rush to answer, but instead asked about the number of seeds.
"Not much, probably one acre can be planted."
"Then there's nothing to consider. Plant it. Even if the yield per mu is not high and the loss is not too great, it's impossible to have no harvest at all." Shen Jiabao didn't care much.
Seeing the attitude of the two sons, Shen Xi couldn't help shaking his head.After all, he is young and energetic, and dares to try anything. When they reach his age, they will think more, and naturally their worries will also increase.One mu of land is not a small amount, that's all, since the two sons agreed, he didn't stop it, maybe it was really a good breed, and his family could benefit from it.
Spring plowing is coming, and the teaching in Hu's tent is coming to an end.At the end of the last day of teaching, under the watchful eyes of Shen's family, Hu Zhangfang took a pile of farm products and got on a bullock cart towards Yufeng Town, where he would transfer to Fuyang County.
Now that the Shen family's wealth is getting stronger, Fang Tianlin originally wanted to propose to hire a few short-term laborers, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.Now is not the time, wait and see, when the weather is normal, the sudden wealth of the Shen family will not be so conspicuous, at least it will not become the target of public criticism.
The spring plowing was in full swing, and Fang Tianlin could deeply understand the difficulty of being a farmer at this time.That kind of hard work is hard for ordinary people to imagine.
At the end of the day's work, Shen Jiahe and the others packed up their things and started heading home.
Before Fang Tianlin entered the house, he saw a few small figures standing behind the threshold from a distance.Shen Jiahe also noticed, the two quickened their pace, and soon came to the gate of the courtyard.
"Hey, why did you come out?" Fang Tianlin smiled and watched the children lying on the threshold, looking in front of the door from time to time.
"Father, Father." The trio played, making Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe smile happily.
"I don't know what's going on today. They insisted on waiting at the door. I couldn't help it, so I took them out." Mrs. Zhang also had a smile on her face.She was delighted that her grandson was so cute, as long as it was not an excessive request, she would not refuse it.Besides, they are usually very obedient, and she is willing to satisfy them if they ask for it once in a while.
Both Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe's clothes were stained with mud, and they were very dirty, so they didn't intend to take their sons back to their room.The children didn't think so either, they had a very keen sense of smell, they had already smelled the peculiar smell of their parents, and they didn't have the slightest intention of begging for a hug, but this didn't mean that they didn't want to get close to Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe.
No, just as the two of them were about to take a step, the triplets surrounded them and reached out to reach for theirs.Seeing this, the two quickly put down the things on their bodies, and slowly walked back to the room with the children.
After Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe cleaned up, the usually lazy Shen Bi began to pull Fang Tianlin's trousers out.The other two were no exception, and Shen Zhang was even more excited to speak the language of an unknown country.
Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe looked at each other, and reluctantly followed the wishes of the triplets, carried them to the door one by one, and let them lead the way.Fang Tianlin has only been busy outside for a few days, but he wants to see what new tricks his sons have come up with, and he even waited for them to go home.
The destination is not far, just in the backyard, but for the triplets with short hands and short feet, that is not a small challenge.
Fang Tianlin thought for a while. He remembered that few people in the family would take the children to play in the vegetable garden. After all, the triplets were only one and a half years old, and such a small front yard was enough for them to play. There was no need to bring them to the backyard.He reckoned that it was just a few days ago, otherwise he wouldn't have been unaware.
As soon as they arrived at the place, the three little guys immediately walked towards their respective goals, each of them picked up something from the ground, and then ran to their parents with their hands raised high to offer the treasure, smiling so hard that they couldn't see their teeth.
Fang Tianlin didn't know what to say after reading it.I thought to myself, isn't this the dried mud?Is there any special function?In order not to hit the children, he could only take it with a smile.
Shen Jiahe didn't think too much about it, he happily accepted the child when he gave it to him, and the scene was extremely harmonious.
Fang Tianlin didn't pay much attention to it at first, until he held two pieces of mud in his hands and took a closer look, he found something unusual.The mud clod is only the size of a child's palm, but the shape is too regular, as if it was made out of a mold, which made him feel shocked.
Seeing his parents accepting the things, Shen Bi lifted up the bib on his chest, wiped off the crystals around his mouth, and shouted happily: "Father, burn, burn!"
"Burn?" Fang Tianlin was confused.He looked down at the mud in his hands carefully, and a vague idea appeared in front of him.It's not really what he thought. Did the eldest son mean to let him burn bricks?This is too outrageous, right?
Fang Tianlin turned his head and looked at Shen Jiahe, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.Not to mention anything else, just the fact that a child less than two years old can squeeze out a standard cuboid is enough to make people inexplicable. If there is something else, this is really...
Fang Tianlin put away his smile, bent down, and at eye level with Shen Bi, asked very seriously: "Who else knows this?"
Shen Bi was puzzled, wondering why his father stopped smiling.
Seeing this, Fang Tianlin changed the sentence into other ways that were easier to understand, and asked over and over again until Shen Bi roughly understood it.As a result, he only got the answer that the eldest son shook his head, which means no one saw it?
Fang Tianlin was worried, and asked another way: "Then who brought you here?"
This time Shen Bi replied immediately: "Miao, sister."
Fang Tianlin breathed a sigh of relief, since Shen Bi said so, it should be Shen Miao from the elder brother's family who brought them here and then left, otherwise the eldest son would not have shook his head to answer the previous question.
As soon as he relaxed his mind, Fang Tianlin became terrified instead.It's not a big deal if the Shen family sees this, but if outsiders find out that the Shen family has three children with such abnormal behavior, how can they live in peace in the future?
