Xiao Qiao enters the farm gate

Because of this sudden incident, neither of them was in a good mood, and they didn't want to talk about it.

When cooking at noon, Qiao Mo went to Grandma Li's house to buy an old hen stew.There are no tricks to this soup, it is just stewed, with some ginger, scallion, and a little salt, and it is stewed directly on the coal stove. The soup tastes very delicious and is very suitable for tonic.

Although the thought of cooking for Mrs. Lin by myself makes me feel sick, but there is nothing I can do, I can only keep out of sight and out of mind.

The meal was delivered by Lin Zheng, and he came back not long after.

The two ate lunch and went back to the bedroom to take a nap.

In the past, they always had to talk to each other, but today they were both thinking, lying quietly and not falling asleep.

Qiao Mo is not a passive person, especially since he already knows that the other party is planning to do something wrong, so what can he do if he doesn't do something.So he was the first to break the silence: "Ah Zheng, I plan to find someone to go to the county to find out the news."

Lin Zheng understood what he meant, he wanted to see the movements of Li Shuilian and Lin Fu, but...

"Even if they are not sick, they can't do anything about it. Besides, if they really did it, it will be even more difficult for Dad when they come back." Lin Zheng did have a grudge against Dad Lin, but seeing Dad Lin eating like this The pain, the heart is also uncomfortable.

"I don't care if they lie or not." Qiao Mo's purpose is not here at all, and it is meaningless to worry about whether Li Shuilian is sick or not. "You forgot, Li Shuilian had been encouraging Lin Fu to go to the county seat before, but Madam Lin stopped her, and Lin Gui probably didn't want to. This time they were sent by Madam Lin. I always feel that Li Shuilian is taking Madam Lin together. I figured it out."

Lin Zheng couldn't help frowning, he didn't think it would be so, but thinking of the vicious plan in Li Shuilian's mouth that night, his brows loosened.A person with evil thoughts in his heart can do nothing.

"You mean..." Lin Zheng was not as good as him in terms of using his brain.

"Actually, the initiative is still in our hands. Mother Lin must have been fooled. As long as we disagree, even the clan can't force us to do anything. Besides, we can welcome Aunt Lin over, but we don't necessarily welcome him. Madam Lin, so I'm not afraid of this. I just can't swallow this breath, since they don't want to live in harmony, then it's not my fault."

In order to protect himself and his mother, Qiao Mo fought with others a lot back then. He was not soft-tempered at all, he just wanted to be safe and sound in the countryside, so there was no sharpness in his temper.Now I am annoyed by tossing and thinking about how to get it done once and for all.

Lin Zheng did not object to this.

He is also very tired of that family. He used to be single and didn't care too much, but now it's different.Besides, Father Lin is his own father after all, how can he not be annoyed at the current life.It's just that the relationship between father and son has been worn away in so many years of life, and it's not enough for him to take Apa Lin home to take care of him. After all, Nanny Lin is the person he hates the most.

Qiao Mo knew only a limited number of people, and Fang Jinnian was the only one who could help, but he didn't go to Fang Jinnian, and the shopkeeper Xiao from the teahouse was enough.

After supplying for such a long time, we are very familiar with each other, and it is not a problem to entrust things.

Shopkeeper Xiao really readily agreed, saying that he would get the letter in a few days.

Qiao Mo knew that there was no need to rush things, so he could only patiently cook soup for Aunt Lin every day, and take care of Aunt Lin along the way, and secretly guarded against him, lest the other party get dizzy and make trouble again, causing headaches.

Recently, Qiao Mo concentrated on taking Li Xue to make square bamboo baskets and apple jars. In addition, Yangjia Village delivered milk every ten days, and the milk was made into toffee.There are a lot of candies in the house. The weather is too hot. In order to prevent the saccharification from being unsightly, it is specially moved to the cellar for storage.

The cellar looked fine now, but Qiao Mo was worried about the moisture. After all, there was no special ventilation duct, so he specially put some charcoal in the corner.

Now we are using charcoal. It would be better to have bamboo charcoal. The adsorption capacity of bamboo charcoal is much stronger than that of charcoal.It's just that although there is bamboo, there is no kiln nearby, and it is not cost-effective to burn charcoal for the small amount of use in the cellar.

Lin Zheng usually went to the paddy fields when he was free, and needed to add some water from time to time.I went to the peanut field this day and wanted to see how the peanuts are growing. If there are ripe fruits, I can pull some and boil them in salt water. I think Ah Mo will like it very much.

Lin Zheng didn't choose specifically, he just pulled a tree from the ground.Because it is sandy land, the soil is soft and easy to pull up.Looking at the result, it turned out to be a large cluster full of big and full fruits. Peel one and taste one. The mouthful of peanuts is fragrant and a little sweet. It is undoubtedly a very good peanut fruit.Lin Zheng randomly pulled out a few trees at different locations in the field, and the conditions were almost the same. Unexpectedly, his peanuts matured about ten days earlier than expected, and the appearance and taste were not bad at all. It would be no problem at all to save the seeds.

Qiao Mo really liked the peanuts when he brought them home, so he ate them raw without cooking them.

"This is the original and good food." Qiao Mo was satisfied with his meal, thinking that his sandy land was really a treasure, and all the fat was useless.

"The peanuts are ripe, so we have to take them back as soon as possible. If it rains, it will be very troublesome." Moreover, some insects will eat peanuts, and there are mountains here, and animals in the mountains sometimes run into the ground to dig the fruits to eat.

Lin Zheng just put all the briquettes dried in the west yard into the warehouse two days ago, and they were neatly stacked there, which is also very spectacular.Now the West Courtyard is just vacant to dry peanuts, and there are a lot of peanuts in six acres, at least two stones per acre, and three thousand six hundred catties of peanuts in six acres.

Qiao Mo also settled the score in his heart.Before planting peanuts, I was also worried about insufficient fertility. Like watermelons, they were not too densely planted.Peanuts are shelled, so they can be produced in large quantities. It is not uncommon to produce two stones per mu, and the price depends on the quality.

He thinks his peanuts are very good, if there is no suitable price, it would be a pity to sell them.

Hmm... He decided to add peanut-based snacks when the shop was on the right track, and also make some peanut butter, which are all good things.

"Are you going to collect it today?" Pulling the peanuts is not difficult, but it's a pity that Qiao Mo's body is inconvenient now, and he is powerless.Thinking of a total of six acres of land, there are many things outside the house, and he didn't want Lin Zheng to be too tired, so he said: "Ah Zheng, let's ask two people to help? There are a lot of things at home, and I have to take care of my dad. By the way, how can you come here alone?"

Lin Zheng just thought about it and agreed, not because of anything else, he also wanted to finish his work in the field earlier and spend more time with him at home.Speaking of it, I was afraid that Old Mama Lin would make trouble again. Ah Mo is pregnant, so there must be no mistakes.

Fortunately, the peanuts in their family ripened earlier, and the other families in the village were not busy yet, so it was easy to hire people.

It's better to invite acquaintances than to invite students. Lin Zheng directly approached Yu Wen and Yu Wu brothers, and they didn't pay them according to the sky. They had a total of six acres of land, and each of them gave forty wen after collecting all of them.They are all people who are used to doing farm work. It takes less than a few days for three people to have six acres of land. The salary of forty cents is not low, let alone idleness. You can find such a lucrative job without leaving the village. Son, who would not like that.

Unexpectedly, when they got to the field, the Li family father and son also came.

The reason why Lin Zheng didn't invite Li Liang was because the relationship was too good, and he didn't open his mouth because he was afraid that the other party wouldn't take money and wouldn't make people work hard.Although it is common to find helpers in the countryside when someone is busy, it is always a matter of coming and going.Lin Zheng wouldn't be so polite in the past, but now they have a lot of family affairs, and when the farming season gets busy, they already have land and a shop, so they don't have time to help.

The Li family obviously understood, but they still came, so Lin Zheng didn't say anything more.

Except for Uncle Li, the six of them are all young and strong men, and they work quickly. The six acres of peanuts were pulled out in less than a day and a half.It took another half a day to take it home by car, and spread it directly in the yard of the west courtyard to dry. The courtyard is also full of sun, and there are many piled up together.If you are not in a hurry, it is best to dry while pulling.

In the end, when the Yu family brothers were paid, the two of them only charged [-], but they felt that this was too much, so they ran over for two or three days in a row, helping to turn over the peanuts in the yard.

Qiao Mo didn't go to the field, but cooked for them at home, and the meals were especially rich on the day when the work was finished.Originally, they didn't plan to take care of the food, but the Li family father and son came to help, it's not easy to pay, so they have to take care of the food.At the dinner table, Uncle Li boasted that their peanuts were grown well, and said that he would buy them from his family if he didn’t keep any seeds this year.

There was wine at the banquet, and Lin Zheng drank two glasses with Uncle Li.

Seeing that they couldn't vacate the table for a while, Qiao Mo went to prepare the meals first, loaded the basket and went out.In the last two days, Lin was busy with the peanuts in the field, and Qiao Mo had to deliver food to Aunt Lin. It was not tiring, but he was in a bad mood when he faced Madam Lin three times a day.

Seeing him go out, Lin Zheng glanced twice.

At the beginning, he was not at ease, worried that he would have a conflict with Mrs. Lin, but then he gradually became relieved when he saw that nothing was wrong.However, like Qiao Mo, Lin Zheng also felt that it was impossible for Mrs. Lin to let it go, and she didn't know when something would happen, which made the two of them still unable to let go of their suspense.

Along the way, Qiao Mo greeted several people in the village and entered Apa Lin's house.

It was quiet everywhere, and he didn't care.Father Lin fell and had a broken leg and was lying on the ground unable to move, while Madam Lin was pretending to be sick and lying still on purpose, even if there was a sound, it was Mama Lin moaning without illness.

When he opened the door and went in, he was taken aback for a moment, why is it only Father Lin and Madam Lin?

The room in the middle is very big, with two beds, one big and one small.Aunt Lin was sleeping on the big bed, and Aunt Li was usually on the other side, but the small bed was empty and there was no one there.

"Father, where's your successor?" Qiao Mo asked while laying out the meal.

Because Father Lin couldn't move, a table was placed beside the bed for convenience.Usually no one is there to serve, so the tea is placed within easy reach, and a pot of hot water is put in when the meal is delivered in the morning. Not convenient at night.After all, the night was long, and the hot water for dinner could not last all night, so I had to drink cold water when I was thirsty at night.Fortunately, it's summer, so it doesn't matter much.

Father Lin was sitting leaning against the head of the bed, his expression was pretty good, but he was very silent.

"He...has gone to the county." Father Lin's voice was a little hoarse, probably because he hadn't drank water or spoken for a long time.

"Going to the county? He..." Qiao Mo opened his mouth and stopped.
