Farmer's Notes from Another World

Fang Zeng sent Liu Zhuang to the entrance of Liujia Village and let Liu Zhuang down. After Fang Zhiyuan said goodbye to Liu Zhuang, his uncle and nephew rushed back.Standing at the intersection of the village, Liu Zhuang watched Fang Zeng's mule cart gradually go away, but his heart was warm.

He picked up his back basket and walked to his home, which was in the west of the village, with three mud houses and a large yard.Although it doesn't look a bit old, it is clean and tidy.Liu Zhuang entered the house lightly, and heard his mother coughing in the kitchen.

He went into his own room and put the cloth away. If his mother saw it, he would be reluctant to make clothes for himself.It's better to wait for him to finish the clothes and give them to his mother.Liu Ama heard the voice and knew that it was her grandson who had returned.Shouted to Liu Zhuang: "Zhuang'er, you are back. Hey, you child, it is so cold and you run outside, what to do when you are frozen. What a stubborn child, just like your father." Although Liu A What's disgusting on his mouth, but gentleness flashed in his eyes.

Liu Zhuang knew his nanny's temperament, so he took out the things in the basket without saying a word.In addition to the package of snacks he bought and Fang Zhiyuan gave, he found another oiled paper package.As soon as he thought about it, he knew that it must have been stuffed by Fang Zhiyuan. He opened it and saw that it was a roasted goose leg. Although the roasted goose leg was cold, Liu Zhuang's heart was warm at this moment.

Fang Zeng was very happy today. One of his nephew's prescriptions was sold for ten taels of silver, plus the family's savings, they would have saved up to 50 taels.His family didn’t have so much money when they didn’t build a house or buy a mule. Ever since they brought in their nephew, the family has had a steady stream of money. Fang Zeng thought in his heart that it must be his grandma and elder brother blessing them in heaven.

At the same time, with money in hand, Fang Zeng also had an idea.This money cannot make money on the body, so it is better to buy land and plant it.Land is not expensive now, and good fields can be bought for six or seven taels of silver per mu. For 50 taels, we can buy seven or eight acres of land in this way. He and his nephew are half of each other. Whether they grow it by themselves or rent it out, it is always a source of income. In the future, it will be easier to talk about their own marriage. .

Thinking about it this way, Fang Zeng made up his mind to go to the town in the next two days to see if there is any land for sale around here. If he buys the land early, he can plant a season of rice and grain next spring for his uncle and nephew. Eating and drinking is enough.Maybe you can sell some spare money to use it.

And Fang Zhiyuan was also thinking in his heart, thinking that there were three or forty taels of silver at home, and it would not be good to keep it at home all the time.If people know about it, the country is so sophisticated.It is another thing to borrow money to make a rich farmer poor, and his uncle is righteous, and he will not return when the time comes, but it is another thing to offend others.

Besides, money begets money is the best state.Fang Zhiyuan saw people coming and going in the town today, it was not the town he thought it was, it was quite prosperous.If so, with some money saved, he could have his uncle buy a small shop, which would always be an estate whether they traded it themselves or rented it out.

Both the uncle and the nephew went to the same destination this time, but no one gnawed.

Back home, Fang Zeng and Fang Zhiyuan cut the roast goose in half, put out noodles, and had a meal.Fang once thought that he was not used to seeing Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang not coming over these two days.Just ask Fang Zhiyuan to give some snacks to the big and small Zhuang with the snacks he brought back, and let Fang Zhiyuan play with them casually, so as to save himself from being bored at home.

Fang Zhiyuan was also concerned about Da Zhuang, so he went to Da Zhuang's house first after taking his things.

It was not a coincidence that Fang Zhiyuan left, Xiao Zhuang was playing with sandbags alone in the yard, and there was the sound of sobbing and crying in the hall.Xiao Zhuang was very happy to see Fang Zhiyuan, trotted to Fang Zhiyuan, panted and shouted to Fang Zhiyuan: "Brother Fang, it's very boring for me to play alone. My brother is not at home, so he won't let me Go out alone, Brother Fang, take me out to play!" The voice was crunchy, and the eyes were wide open.

Fang Zhiyuan knew Xiao Zhuang's nature, although he couldn't coax others, he was already prepared, took out the candied haws he brought back, and waved it in front of Xiao Zhuang, watching Xiao Zhuang's eyes fixed on it, his small head It also swayed up and down with the swing of the candied haws.

Seeing Xiao Zhuang's cute appearance, Fang Zhiyuan deliberately teased him, and said, "Xiao Zhuang, do you want to eat candied haws?" Shaking his head, he said to Fang Zhiyuan with some grievances and reluctance: "Xiao Zhuang doesn't eat, so Ah said it's not good to eat other people's food casually." But his eyes still looked at the candied haws from time to time.

Fang Zhiyuan looked at his pitiful appearance, stopped teasing him, handed him the candied haws, and said with a smile: "Take it, am I someone else? I'm your brother Fang, don't you agree with what I gave you?" I’ll talk about you.” Xiao Zhuang thought about it, he ate a lot of Brother Fang’s food, but Ah Mo didn’t tell him that the food given by Brother Fang was edible.

Thinking of this, he immediately took the candied haws with all his arms and legs, added more first, and after a while, carefully put the candied haws in a paper bag and stopped eating.Fang Zhiyuan looked strange, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuang, what are you doing, why do you want to save it for later. He is really a careless person, and he knows that it will be gone after eating, so eat slowly."

But Xiao Zhuang said: "No, my brother is not at home, I want to wait for him to come back to eat together, he also likes to eat candied haws."

Fang Zhiyuan patted Xiao Zhuang's head and said: "It seems that your brother didn't love you for nothing, and you know that there are good things for your brother. By the way, do you know when your brother will come back?"

Xiao Zhuang shook his head, recalling the whispers between his aunt and his father on the bed at night, and said: "Maybe I will come back when my uncle is not angry. I don't like Big Fatty either. He always robs my brother and me of things." , and my aunt came back to cry with my mother today, so my grandma is not happy anymore."

Only then did Fang Zhiyuan realize that it was Lin Shuang in the room, and he became curious.What's wrong with Lin Shuang, it's only been a few days, how could he come back and cry, he still knew that Lin Xin's family was not at home, so he came here on purpose to ask for benefits.

Fang Zhiyuan felt itchy in his heart, but he wouldn't go in either.At this time, the voice in the room became louder, and Lin Shuang's voice came out from inside.

In the house, Lin Cheng's old couple, Lin Zheng's young couple, and Lin Xin were all there.Lin Shuang came here alone today, crying out of breath, crying to Lin Cheng's family: "Ah, you want to make the decision for me. What is the big brother and mother trying to do, to embarrass me like this, His natal pig-killing family invited me to my house in previous years. This year, my father-in-law and the head of the family were waiting at home, but they didn’t even invite me. Didn’t this tell people that the eldest brother and mother didn’t take me seriously and didn’t take it seriously? The whole village laughed at my family, what is the big brother and mother trying to do, it's too much."

Lin Cheng's family also felt a little uncomfortable when they heard this. What does the old man want to do.The trouble went to the in-laws, and the family ugliness was not publicized. How could my brother get a foothold in Zhao Qin's house by doing so.But he thought that his boss was still at his mother's house and hadn't come back, and his in-laws hadn't come to call his boss, so he didn't say anything.

Lin Cheng wanted face the most, his brother was slapped in the face like this, it was just slapping him in the face, the boss was not around, so he said directly to Lin Xin: "Boss, look at what Da Zhuang did. It's too much. No matter how bad Shuang is, he is still his brother-in-law. How can he embarrass him like this outside? Isn't this a joke for Zhao Qin's family to see our family? Isn't it because we won't make decisions for him? It's too much, too much!"

Lin Xin frowned irritably when he heard that, when his husband was so angry and disappointed when he left that day, he was looking in his eyes, Da Zhuang was even more dying.As a husband and father, he failed to vent his anger on them and let the Yue family stand out. This feeling is too uncomfortable.

Lin Shuang was really angry. Ever since he married into the Zhao family, Lin Xin's natal family would not invite him to dinner.In the past, how could Zhao Qin's family have such dignity, it was all because of marrying him, so even though the mother in the family favored the second child, they still looked up to him.

But now that he has lost such a big man, the second child's family is sneering at home, making him angry to death.Usually he brought back good things from his mother's house, and the second child's family never came back to please him obediently. Since the last time he didn't bring any meat home, the second child's mother's family sent two catties of meat. The two families trembled.

No matter what this time, he has to ask his eldest brother to apologize to him, and to let his grandma and dad know his grievances, and then give him twice as much meat that he didn't get back last time.Otherwise, her natal family will be held hostage by his eldest brother and mother in the future.This is impossible, but he knows that his eldest brother and mother will not deal with him. If he is in charge of the family, he will have a good life in the future, and he will not even think about the subsidy from his mother's family.

Thinking of this, he cried even louder, and said: "Ah, your brother was bullied by others. He was bullied by his family. If you don't make decisions for me, you will have to watch me being bullied by others." The eldest brother is really deceiving people too much, isn’t it just because my family is poor and looks down on me like this? My father-in-law is going to be sick from anger, and the mother sighs from time to time, this is not trying to kill me. "

Lin Cheng's family felt sorry for Lin Shuang after hearing this. After all, it was the flesh that fell from his body. No matter how bad he is usually, it can't be seen that he is wronged.Besides, Lin Cheng's family also knew that it was difficult to be a husband. If the elders really offended Lin Shuang's father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lin Shuang would still be unlucky.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Cheng's family tentatively said to Lin Xin: "Boss, do you think it's okay to ask Da Zhuang to..."

Lin Xin was very irritable. Hearing his aunt's hesitation, Lin Shuang didn't say anything when he thought about his husband and Da Zhuang being wronged, and his aunt and father just kept silent. Go and tell people that it is not right to compensate Lin Shuang, he can't open his mouth.

He interrupted his aunt and said: "What are you giving? Are you paying Lin Shuang? It's really funny. What does his Zhao family have to do with my Yue's family? Why does my Yue's family call him Zhao's family for dinner? Who is he? Don’t say that everyone eats butchered vegetables with one man in the whole family, but his whole family goes there, and there is no room for a table. I don’t know how much my father-in-law’s family has been ridiculed in secret, and there are such shallow-sighted relatives.”

Lin Cheng's family was choked, and this was the first time Lin Cheng heard his son say that. He felt that his patriarch's prestige was offended, and said unhappily: "Why, why are they big and strong? Aunt Da Zhuang’s making a face is not making a face for Da Zhuang, what the boss said is not pleasing to the ear.”

Lin Xin sneered and said, "Aunt, what aunt would ruin his nephew's reputation with a joke for a piece of meat. I don't recognize such an aunt. I have no ability to beg for my child. To be fair, I won’t stop the Yue family from getting ahead anyway. Dad, what, I don’t understand, Da Zhuang hasn’t come back until now. You are still defending Lin Shuang, the chief culprit, and you want me to wrong Fu Lang because of him My child, am I your own? I don't have the face, nor the ability. Otherwise, I wouldn't let my husband and child be bullied at home, and the Yue family would open their mouths if they didn't go back, let alone run away." Without waiting for Lin Cheng and his wife to say anything more, Lin Xin's family strode out.

Lin Zheng didn't feel well either. He and his brother were on good terms, and everyone at home told him what happened that day.Seeing Lin Shuang still come back to persecute his elder brother like this now, he felt unhappy, and said to his father: "Father, don't you not like to listen to what I have to say. Why is Lin Shuang only allowed to do it on the first day of junior high school? Fifteen, if you want me to say, you are supposed to be grandparents in this matter, but if you pretend to be stupid, they will take action. Otherwise, your brother is a treasure, and other people are a piece of shit. Lin Shuang This is what he asked for, and he can't blame anyone else. Isn't the big brother and mother's family giving him face just so that our family can treat the big brother and mother better, Lin Shuang can remember the good of the big brother and mother. But Lin Shuang never treats the big brother and mother Seriously, but still want to bully Da Zhuang. What kind of onion can people think he is!"

Lin Cheng's family didn't speak. Lin Cheng's face was flushed red by what his son said, and he said angrily: "Shuang is your brother, who asked you to call him by name. No big or small, he is the brother of your mother. You treat your brother like this? No matter how bad he is to you, you can’t say it, we’re not dead yet.”

Being scolded by Lin Cheng like this, Lin Zheng ignored it and left.
