Farmer one or two things

In previous years, the crops could be harvested from early to mid-September, but this time it was delayed until early October.Song Tiancai's family was one of the first to replant, and the crops in the field were ripe in mid-September as in previous years.Song Xiaobao was sent to Hu Xiaoyu to take him with him, and the whole family went to harvest the crops.Song Dahai's family also collected it with Song Tiancai and the others. Hu Xiaoyu went back to her mother's house with a full stomach and asked her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to help.

In this year, it's not that we can't afford to hire part-time workers, but that we can't hire part-time workers. Everyone is envious and upset.Song Dashan and Song Dahai are considered to be one of the few families in Songjia Village who immediately replanted drought-tolerant crops.Of course, this kind of decisiveness also paid back some money for them, but even if other people know that they are going to reduce their losses, they can feel comfortable seeing that the Song family has harvested grain, but their crops have not grown well. No wonder.

Under such circumstances, if they hire short-term laborers again, it is simply poking people's eyes.It's hard to guarantee that some people won't come to the Song family for trouble on the spur of the moment. The four adults of Song Tiancai plus Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman, the six of them worked for more than ten days to collect the grain, dry it, and store it.The harvest of these coarse grains should be better than that of fine grains, but in fact it is only half of the usual harvest of fine grains.Fortunately, the [-] mu of land was collected without paying taxes, and the Song family could live on it for two years.

Song Dahai's family collected grain and put it into the warehouse before their family, and sent four carts of grain to Hu Xiaoyu's mother's family. Half of it was to thank Hu Xiaoyu's family for their help, and the other group asked Hu Xiaoyu's family to store it for them, just in case.In this way, they already had ten acres of land, and the grain they harvested was not as much as in previous years. Except for those who had to pay taxes, it was barely enough to eat.

And Song Dahai's family helped Song Tiancai's family as soon as they finished their work, so they could pack all the [-] acres of land into the granary in more than ten days.However, coarse grains are full enough, but the taste cannot keep up, and people who eat sweet potatoes every day are also uncomfortable.Song Tiancai asked Chen Guizhi to make half and half of coarse and fine grains every day, and planned to take the Song family to Quanzhou after a few days to make arrangements here.

Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman will live in the house here, and the West Wing will be assigned to them.Then distribute ten acres of land to Song Dahai's family, and the rest to Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman.Song Tiancai wants to move his household registration to Quanzhou, and the twenty mu of land here will have to pay taxes.He didn't intend to ask for the land renters of Song Dahai's family and Chen Dashi's family, but the land deeds would not be given to them.It can be regarded as a backup for the Song family. In the future, if anything happens, they can return to the Song family village to live.

Song Tiancai knew that after he left, Song Dahai's family would be left alone, so he wanted to let Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman live in the Song family.Together in Songjia Village, the two of them won't appear to be weak, and they can take care of each other, so they don't have to worry about being bullied.Although Chen Dashi still has some relatives in Chenjiacun, it would be better if he didn't have them, and they would be annoyed by threatening them from time to time. Besides, with such a father, Chen Dashi always felt a little uncomfortable in Chenjiacun.

It is not difficult for them to come to Songjia Village to settle the situation. The house in Chenjia Village is locked, and the land can be rented.At that time, you can also ask someone to help you look after it. They just go there every now and then.The most important thing is that Song Tiancai planned to show Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman the tea stall. He actually asked Song Tianjin at the beginning if he wanted to take care of it, and he could give it to him in the future.

Song Tianjin refused. He wanted to open a shop in the town and bring his family to live in the town together.After becoming a clerk in the town, Song Tianjin became envious of the people in the town, and he didn't want his children and grandchildren to work hard in the fields like his own parents.He just wanted to open a shop in the town and establish a foothold, so that he could take Song Dahai and his wife to take care of them in the future.

Hu Xiaoyu also has this plan, and the husband and wife have already started saving money.Song Dahai and his wife also knew Song Tianjin's thoughts, so they got closer to the in-laws in the town, helped them a lot, and never ambiguously gave gifts and food, in order to let the Hu family take care of their son and daughter-in-law more.

Song Tiancai didn't force it, so he planned to give only ten acres of land to Song Dahai's family.Most of them were left to Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman to take care of them. In addition to trusting their character, this was also the result of many considerations.

He discussed these plans with Zhao Yanxiu for a long time, and finally discussed them with the elders of the Song family.The two elders of the Song family had no objection. They had planned to go to Quanzhou with Song Tiancai a long time ago. Now they just moved the time forward. After such a drought, the two elders of the Song family also realized that if Bala was really going to live in the field, life would be miserable. It is said that if one is not good, one will not be able to eat enough.Song Dashan was partial to Song Dahai's family in his heart, but when he heard that Song Tianjin wanted to settle in the town, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the affairs of the countryside, so he stopped talking.

When Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman heard that Song Tiancai's family was going to move to Quanzhou, they were shocked at first, and then they heard that Song Tiancai was going to entrust the family's property, so they shook their heads like rattles.Knowing the nature of the two, Song Tiancai analyzed all the rules and regulations, and said a lot, and the two elders of the Song family also came out to speak.In the end, Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman agreed, but they still said they would rent a house and a tea shed to Song Jiatian.

Song Tiancai also knew that they could feel at ease in this way, so he said that except for disaster years, they would just pay 20 taels of silver to the Song family every year.Lin Xiaoman had worked in a tea shop, and he knew exactly how much money a tea shop would make. The price Song Tiancai offered was really the price of cabbage.They took the Song family's heart and friendship, and expressed that they would definitely help the Song family to look after the family business.

In early October, the crops that Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman replanted were ripe, and everyone in the Song family, except Chen Guizhi and Song Xiaobao cooking at home, went to help harvest the grain.The people in Songjia Village also had smiling faces. No matter what, they could only move forward when they had food. Even if they didn't have the previous year's harvest, they were so tight that they wouldn't starve to death.

But everyone was happy for only two days. On the third day, it started to rain.For the long-awaited rain, everyone in Songjia Village no longer had the anticipation they used to, and stayed at home worrying about the crops in the field.I hope that the rain will stop soon so that we can take the food home.

It's a pity that God likes to play tricks on people, as if he was about to rain enough the rain that he owed in the previous few months, it rained for half a month.Most of the families in Songjia Village braved the rain to gather grain, otherwise, if it rotted in the ground, the grain for a year would be gone.It's a pity that there is never a sunny day here, even if it is collected back, it is moldy and I can't let it go.

Every family had to chop firewood, burn pots and dry grain on the kang. After such a toss, less than half of the grain that was not much produced originally went away.

Song Tiancai asked Song Dashan to look after the grain at home, and he and the others wore coir raincoats to grab the grain.The food brought back was wet, and some of it was spoiled.Apart from these, Lin Xiaoman and Chen Guizhi spent the whole day drying food at the stove. After being so busy, everyone in the Song family was as busy as a spinning top and couldn't stop.

When the weather cleared, everyone in Songjia Village didn't show any signs of smiling. Every family hurriedly dug up the ridges of the fields and began to release water, planning to plant another season of winter wheat to supplement the family's grain.The Song family also got busy at this time. Fortunately, the five big men were quick to do things, and it took ten days to plant more than [-] mu of land.

In fact, Song Tiancai plans to distribute the land to Song Dahai and Chen Dashi from tomorrow.I didn't want to plant this year, but Song Dashan and Chen Dashi couldn't see the fields idle.He had no choice but to follow the busy farming. Although he was tired, Song Tiancai still had a sense of accomplishment looking at the green seedlings all over his eyes.

Lizheng brought good news to the village. The county magistrate applied to the court for tax exemption and the court agreed.There is no need to pay taxes for this season. This is the best news that everyone in the village has heard since the severe drought.But even without paying taxes, it is difficult for every household to have enough to eat.

When the persimmons and chestnuts on the mountain were ripe, the villagers rushed into the mountain to pick them as food.Some families can fight for a few chestnuts, and there are more petty thefts in the village.Among them, two families sold their little granddaughters to big families in the town as maids in exchange for some food. Sometimes Song Tiancai would find the disheveled children while walking on the road, and felt a little depressed.

But he couldn't help it. Because he and several other families had the earliest autumn harvest, the village hardly suffered much loss.Even if it is coarse grain, but in this year when coarse grain is a rare commodity, many jealous people are already thinking about the Song family's share of grain.If it weren't for the fact that there were five males living in the Song family, Song Tiancai was afraid that these people would come directly to the house and rape him.

There are probably two families in the village who were forced to carry away two bags of food by their relatives. Even if they fell out, they didn't get the food back.The village chief also went to Song Tiancai's house and sat there for a long time, implying that Song Tiancai was helping the poor in the village. Song Tiancai didn't answer, so Lizheng could only return disappointed.

They are all from Songjia Village, Lizheng naturally hopes that the whole village will be well, but Song Tiancai has a very small heart.I don't want to be this early bird, what is a poor family, the year when almost every household can't eat enough, it is a poor family.How much food Song Tiancai's family has can help others. If this household is rescued, that household should bear a grudge in their hearts, but they must take care of everything, unless the Song family is emptied, and it is not enough to subsidize it. In that way, he and Zhao Yanxiu can rely on strength There is food to eat, but what Song Xiaobao eats, how should the Song family elders live.

Song Tiancai is not happy to be such a holy father, everyone has his own cause and effect, and he doesn't mind lending a helping hand when he can.But when he was almost unable to protect himself, he had to set himself up to help others, and he was really not interested in doing such a thing.As long as he didn't go to Quanzhou for a day, he would ensure that the Song family had enough food and would not go hungry.

Many people in Songjia Village went to borrow grain from the elders of the Song family, and Song Tiancai had already held the key to the granary in his hand.Chen Guizhi and Song Dashan couldn't get food even if their hearts softened. After coming and going, everyone knew that they couldn't borrow food from Song's house, so they gradually stopped visiting.

Both Chen Yongchang and Chen Yongle came to Song's house to borrow food. Chen Guizhi received them, saying that his own family didn't have enough food and there was nothing more to borrow, so he sent them away.Even though the two younger brothers, Chen Yongchang and Chen Yongle, spoke in person, Chen Guizhi only took twenty catties of sweet potatoes, saying that she personally gave them to her nephew, but there was no food to borrow.Then, he sent the person away, and when the Chen family came back next time, Chen Guizhi would not even give the sweet potatoes any more.

Song Tiancai didn't care what Chen Guizhi did, anyway, the food was in his hands, even if the old Song's heart softened, it would be useless if he didn't have food in his hands, and he didn't want to give others the food he had worked so hard to save for nothing.

That night, Song Tiancai and Zhao Yanxiu were making final preparations for Quanzhou.It's going to be cold soon, and if the Song family wants to go to Quanzhou, they have to go on the road in a few days.Otherwise, when it's cold, both the elders of the Song family and Song Xiaobao will suffer on the road.

Song Tiancai's plan for the food of the Song family was to leave enough food for Song Dahai's family and Chen Dashi's family, and take the rest to Quanzhou.He has already made an agreement with a bodyguard in the town to give the food and money, and ask them to help deposit the food.Quanzhou didn't know what the situation was like, although he had saved a batch of glutinous rice, it was always good to be prepared.

As soon as it got dark, Song Tiancai heard the cry of a child.Zhao Yanxiu's hearing is good, he frowned when he heard it, and said to Song Tiancai, "It seems to be a dog outside our house."

Song Dashan opened the door, and Gouzi cried so much when he saw Song Dashan, begging Song Dashan to visit his grandparents intermittently.Everyone in the Song family heard the sound, and Song Tiancai asked as he walked, "Father, what is this dog, crying like this?"

Song Dashan said anxiously: "Tiancai, take Yanxiu to your Uncle Lei's house quickly, those rotten bastards broke into your Uncle Lei's house to steal food, and were caught by your Uncle Lei Right on the spot, you stabbed Uncle Lei and his wife with a knife. His grandparents told him to come out and call for someone, so he ran to our house. Doing evil, this group of devoid of conscience, who only pick on old people and children Let's do it."

As Gouzi said just now, it was done by the bums from two towns in the village.These people have also stolen things from the village before, but unfortunately, they were all thunderous and rainy, and they didn't do anything to them. Instead, they raised their hearts and made them black, which killed people.

When Song Tiancai heard this, he quickly took Zhao Yanxiu and called Chen Dashi, and asked Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi to watch the door at home and take the dog with him.Lin Xiaoman was also left in the Song family. Now that the world is not good, the Song family can't have a young and middle-aged man at home to watch.

Hurriedly rushing to Song Sanlei's house, both Song Sanlei and his wife fell to the ground, passed out, and bled a lot.Song Tiancai and Chen Dashi each carried one, and hurriedly sent it to the Maojiao doctor who knew medical skills in the village.The doctor took the pulse of the two and shook his head. Song Tiancai's heart sank, and he touched the two old men under their noses. They were out of breath.

There have always been petty thefts in Songjia Village, but they have never killed anyone.At the beginning, the villagers came to talk to Lizheng to drive away those with unclean hands and feet. Lizheng was temporarily softened by the old people and children in those people's homes. After a few warnings, he calmed down the village and settled the matter.

Unexpectedly, the momentary soft-heartedness back then resulted in two lives today. I don't know if Lizheng will regret his original decision.
