Farmer's Notes from Another World

It took ten days to grow persimmons, and only two-thirds of the persimmon grove had been shipped out.The two of them peeled the skin and dried it, and it was roughly done, but Fang Zeng didn't plan to transport the rest.It's very simple, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and his family still has two mountain lands, so food is the most important thing.

During the autumn harvest, ordinary people like to work with partners.There is a lot of strength, especially during the autumn harvest, when they are rushing to work, and they are afraid that if God comes to rain, the harvest of that year will be ruined.Naturally, it was much easier for people with livestock to work. Fang Zeng's family only had two pieces of mountain land, and he didn't work with others.My hands and feet are more nimble, but it only takes three or four days, and besides, there are big green mules at home, so it is not too tiring.

Fang Zhiyuan also wanted to follow. Although he looked to be only ten years old, he was already a half-grown boy in this place, and he could work in the fields.Fang Zeng was unwilling, because he felt that he was strong and strong, so he didn't need his nephew's little arms and legs to help him no matter what.

The two talked for a long time about the matter, but they still gave Fang Zeng a final decision and asked Fang Zhiyuan to watch the house and cook with sun-dried persimmons.Fang Zeng went to work in the field, Fang Zhiyuan saw the persimmons all over the yard and agreed.In his heart, he planned to do something good to strengthen his uncle.

Fang Zeng's mountainous area is not far from home, and there are mules and carts, which save a lot of energy.Fang Zeng harvested more than half of the corn, sweet potatoes and other crops on the first day.Because the persimmons were drying in his big yard, Fang Zeng used the wooden rack he made to dry the corn outside the yard for Fang Zhiyuan to watch.

At this moment, Fang Zhiyuan realized that he was causing trouble to his uncle again. At this time, the drying of persimmons took up the space for drying coarse grains.Fortunately, his family doesn't have much land, and the harvested grain doesn't need a large area, so it can be dried in a flat place outside.But this also made Fang Zhiyuan secretly make up his mind that he must be more thoughtful in doing things in the future, so as not to cause trouble to his uncle.

After three or four days of harvesting, all the coarse grains in the field were harvested.Fang Zeng was extremely busy with what should be sunbaked and what should be shelled.And the mule was lent by Fang Zeng to the Lin Zheng family with whom he had a good relationship. Otherwise, with the mule at home, people would still think of helping his family with work.It's better to lend it to someone you know well first, so as not to offend others.

The persimmons were almost dry, so Fang Zhiyuan and Fang Zeng began to pinch the persimmons every day, and their hands were sore from the morning.After doing this for more than ten days, the persimmons were almost the same as dried persimmons, so Fang Zhiyuan and Fang Zeng put the persimmons into the vat for frosting.The eight big vats couldn't be filled. In the end, Fang Zhiyuan was reluctant to let his uncle buy another vat. After all, a big vat cost a hundred dollars, which was almost the same amount. Persimmons haven't earned a big money yet .

After thinking about it, he directly used coarse grain mats to pad the floor of the house, put persimmons on top of the persimmon skins, and covered them with mats. For insurance, he also specially used old mats from home to cover them tightly.I also finished all the persimmons so-so, and only waited to see the finished product in a month.

When the persimmons are in the tank, things at home are almost too busy.Fang Zeng took Fang Zhiyuan to harvest pears, sand fruits and other fruits from the mountains.The bamboo flat basket at home is filled with pears, sago, dates and chestnuts.Looking at these fruits, Fang Zhiyuan's eyebrows were bent, a child who is loved by the elders is really happy.

Fang Zeng also took back the Chinese cabbage and radish greens grown in the vegetable field.Every family here has the habit of pickling sauerkraut and pickled vegetables. In the winter, they rely on these two or three kinds of vegetables, and every family has a lot of them.But Fang Zeng and Fang Zhiyuan encountered a problem. They still knew how to pickle pickles, but they didn't know how to accumulate pickles.

Fang Zeng used to only hunt and do farm work, so there is Lin Lin who is all-round in family affairs.Not to mention Fang Zhiyuan, his grandma works twice as much and loves his children, so naturally he is not needed to help stock up sauerkraut.The uncle and nephew looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, not knowing what to do with these Chinese cabbages.

When Fang Zeng decided to go to Lin Xin and Lin Zheng's family for advice on how to accumulate sauerkraut, Fang Zhiyuan decided that he didn't know how to accumulate sauerkraut, but he could make spicy cabbage and kimchi.After these two things are done well, it can be exchanged with other people in the village for food, and maybe it can be exchanged for some money.Well, he has completely lost his eyes on money now, and wants to turn everything he sees into white money.

When Fang Zeng heard that Fang Zhiyuan had a solution to deal with these cabbages, he was overjoyed.In fact, he really didn't want to discuss how to stockpile sauerkraut with those buddies, otherwise some would make Lin Zheng a big joke.Now his nephew proposed another method of accumulating cabbage, Fang Zeng had no doubts, just follow it.

Fang Zhiyuan saw that there were sand fruits and pears at home, so he started to make them.In fact, most of them are done by Fang Zeng.Fang Zhiyuan moved his lips and offered his hand, the two of them worked for a whole day and finally got rid of the cabbage.By the way, he made a pickle with radish. As for the taste, Fang Zhiyuan wanted to say: He hasn't eaten it yet, so he doesn't know yet.

After finishing the autumn harvest, everyone is happy, and after paying taxes.The guys from the grain store came to the village with mule carts and began to collect grain.The price of coming to the countryside to collect grain must be a few cents less than sending it to the town to sell, which is convenient.The money to hire a mule cart to send the grain to the town is enough to cover the price difference for this trip. It is better to sell the grain directly to them, which saves trouble and is safe.

Fang Zeng had no food to sell, but he went too.Fang Zhiyuan was still growing up, and Fang had planned to buy some fine grains for Fang Zhiyuan to eat there.It's not impossible to buy in the village, but the folks in the village are unhappy when they are given too much money; they are unhappy when they are given too little money.Why don't he go buy some while the guy in the grain store collects the grain.No matter what other people's price is, no one will pick it.

When Fang Zeng came back, he picked up two loads of millet. Fang Zhiyuan looked at the millet and was happy. He was afraid that his uncle would spend too much money, so he said to Fang Zeng, "Uncle, you don't need to buy millet. We eat coarse grains in the same way. These Millet can be exchanged for a lot of coarse grains."

Fang Zeng gave up indifferently, and said with a smile: "It will be Chinese New Year in two months, and we want to eat better. Buying millet is much more cost-effective than buying polished rice, but husking is more laborious. Taking advantage of the fact that the grain store is collecting Grain is cheap, so it’s not bad for uncle to buy more. Well, uncle has to go twice, this time uncle bought a lot of millet.”

As he said that, he poured the millet into the big grain storage vat and went out again.

Fang Zhiyuan looked at Gu Zi, his eyes lit up.At the same time, You became more determined to earn money well and honor his uncle well in the future.

Dinner is pork bone soup and fried fat intestines.Ever since Fang Zhiyuan showed his skills, Fang Zeng usually brought some bones and pigs into the water when he went to town.Although these things cost money, they are much cheaper than meat, delicious and not expensive, Fang Zeng is still willing to buy them.Fang Zhiyuan also marinated a few pig hearts and prepared to dry them in the sun. When there is no food left, they will be stewed and eaten. They are also delicious.

The uncle and nephew enjoyed dinner, and Lin Zheng came over before they finished eating.

Lin Zheng was Lin Xin's younger brother, and Fang Zeng was a good buddy who grew up together, the kind who could wear a pair of trousers.When he got married four years ago, he let his father, Lin Cheng, separate them. He was afraid that the trivial things together would weaken the relationship.Now he is living a good life, a kid is already three years old.

Fang Zeng was very happy to see Lin Zheng coming, so he hurriedly sent Fang Zhiyuan to serve up the vegetables left in the pot, and found the wine he had treasured, and dragged Lin Zheng to eat at home.Lin Zheng was not polite to Fang Zeng either, he hurried over without eating, and he was indeed hungry.

After two mouthfuls of food, he told Fang Zeng what he had come here today.

It turned out that a few days ago, Fang had brought Fang Zhiyuan back to live in his home.Most of the village knew that they had grown up watching Fang Sheng, and after hearing what Fang had brought back from Mrs. Wen, they all scolded the Li family for being inhumane, and even treated their own family members harshly.He was quite sympathetic to Fang Zhiyuan and didn't say anything.

But I don't know what's wrong, the story of Li Fu's family has spread across the country in a few days, and everyone knows about it.The reputation of Lijia Village has been damaged, and some people in other villages who have already talked about marriage are not willing to marry their brothers and men.He looked down on the village style like Li's family, and even the Li family's family who said they were relatives all blew it.

The people in Lijia Village were very angry, and naturally they didn't have a good look at Li Fu's family.But he also told outsiders how unfilial and disobedient Fang Zhiyuan was.Calling Fang Zhiyuan worthless, as if this would make them look better.

The people in Linjiacun heard the ins and outs of the incident from Wen Po who had been to the scene, and although they felt that Fang Zhiyuan was too young and temperamental, they were filial to him.He didn't care too much about the rumors outside, but people in other villages who didn't know the truth now said that Fang Zhiyuan was an unfilial son, and he didn't even recognize his own father.

It turned out that Fang once asked his brother Lin Xin to tell Fang Zhiyuan that he should go to a private school in Zhaojiacun to study.It was already agreed that Fang Zhiyuan would go to Zhaojia Village with Da Zhuang to study in the beginning of the new year.But now the private school teacher is unwilling, saying that Fang Zhiyuan has a problem with his conduct, and he is afraid that other parents in Zhaojia Village will have opinions on accepting Fang Zhiyuan, so he pushes him away.

Fang Zeng burst into anger when he heard this, what kind of thing is this?It was obviously Li Fu's fault, but how could it be his nephew's fault.Now I don't even have a chance to go to school, Lijia Village is really harmful.I really thought that if I blamed the fault on a child, everything would be fine for them.Everyone is not blind, how they treat his brother with a foreign surname, you can find out after inquiring, it will ruin his nephew's reputation, what good can he have them.

After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he stopped eating and hurried back. The family members were still waiting for him.

Fang Zhiyuan didn't say a word after hearing this.He has indeed forgotten what kind of era this is. In modern times, he is a gangster, and he has to be persuaded to leave the school without a good reputation, let alone in the ancient times of fathers and sons.How big is the crime of unfilial piety, and some people with low psychological endurance will not be able to look up to others for the rest of their lives.

He ignored the circumstances around him. In modern times, it doesn't matter that he has no reputation.As long as you don't kill people and set fires, it doesn't matter if you are in a period of anger and resentment.As long as you have money, you can still live happily and be pampered.

But it is not allowed here, a person's reputation is like his communication card.Without a reputation, he has to weigh everything he wants to do. This is the first time Fang Zhiyuan has felt that people's words can kill people.But he didn't regret it, even if fame could trap him for a while, it couldn't trap him for a lifetime.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to be at the mercy of Li Fu for the sake of his momentary fame.

Fang Zeng looked at Fang Zhiyuan a little sorry, if he hadn't lost his head in a fit of rage and stopped Fang Zhiyuan from saying those words, even though Li Fu would try to stop him in the future.But the nephew won't lose his reputation!Thinking about it this way, Fang Zeng felt more and more sorry for Fang Zhiyuan.The eyes are even more guilty!

Fang Zhiyuan noticed it, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle, I may not be able to learn well if I go to Zhaojia Village to go to school as a person from another village. I will be able to read and write when I am old. When the time comes, Da Zhuang will go to school. Yes, it's the same when you come back and teach me. Uncle, I know you feel uncomfortable, but I don't regret it. If I fall into Feng Mei's hands, I don't know how hard life will be. Maybe I won't be able to see you now. Compared with those hard days now, I am already in a honey pot. People are satisfied, I am well fed and clothed, and my uncle protects no one who dares to bully me. I am very happy. As for whether I can go to a private school It has no effect on me."

Fang Zeng felt better when he heard Fang Zhiyuan's comfort, but he still said: "Hey, if uncle stopped you at that time and didn't say those things, those people couldn't say that about you. Uncle was so mad , I didn't think about it, I'm sorry."

Fang Zhiyuan didn't think so, and said: "Uncle, just because of this reputation, we have to be at the mercy of Li Fu. Did he kill me? I won't do anything for the sake of him being my biological father, but But he will never end his retirement for him, especially if he has to raise the executioner Feng Mei together. If he didn't make it clear at that time, he will be a cow and a horse for his reputation in the future. Let me drown in the river, so I won’t be so useless. Even if I feed the dogs with steamed buns, don’t expect me to give a grain of food to the pair of bastards who killed me.”

Fang Zhiyuan said calmly: "Actually, it's fine now, anyway, everyone knows that I don't recognize Li Fu. At that time, if he wants to use the name of his biological father to suppress me, it will be useless. His reputation is already rotten. What else does he have?" He can threaten us. As long as we ignore him, there is nothing he can do."

Listening to Fang Zhiyuan's words, Fang Zeng was silent for a long time, he sighed and said, "You are doing evil!"
