Farmer's Notes from Another World

Only the old couple Lin Cheng and Lin Shuang were left in the room.Lin Cheng and Lin Cheng's family looked at each other, and looking at Lin Shuang, they really didn't have the pity and grievances they had at the beginning. Now the sons not only hate Lin Shuang, but they may also be blamed.

Lin Cheng thought of his eldest grandson. Normally, at this time, he would have surrounded him and called his grandpa, grandpa, grandpa. It doesn't look like he and his wife are the only ones staring at him now.Thinking about it this way, looking at Lin Shuang was a bit unpleasant. How could Zhao Qin be an outsider, and everyone was still angry.He still wants to have a reunion year, and he will not be dumb or deaf, and he will not be an old man. He is old and can't care about the affairs of the younger generation.

Lin Cheng also left with his hands behind his back, Lin Shuang was dumbfounded.Lin Cheng's family finally said to Lin Shuang: "Hey, your grandma and dad are old, and from now on your elder brother and younger brother will be in charge of the house. From now on, you will wink at your elder brothers and sisters, so you can't be so ignorant anymore. This time is also a lesson for you, big and small are not something you can do, don’t do it again in the future. Change your temper, in a few days, when your elder brother is at home, you can say something nice to him, he is a big I will never haggle with you." As he said that, Lin Cheng's family also entered the room with a sad expression.

Lin Shuang didn't expect that his elder brother and younger brother, who had always been very good to him, would say that, and his father no longer spoke for him. This time, let alone the expected pork, he was even told a meal , the elder brother and the younger brother even spoke sarcasticly to him.Lin Shuang felt helpless for the first time. It was obviously not like this before. Whenever he cried, he would give it to him. When he made a fuss, his brother would obey him. How could it be like this now?

Fang Zhiyuan and Xiao Zhuang were playing with sandbags outside, and voices from inside could be heard from time to time.When Lin Xin came out, he was a little embarrassed to see Fang Zhiyuan there.He had nowhere to go, so he went to talk to Fang Zeng after thinking about it.

Lin Zheng came out and saw Fang Zhiyuan and Xiao Zhuang having fun, so he picked up Xiao Zhuang and said to Fang Zhiyuan, "Huzi, let's go, let's go and play with your uncle. I remember that your uncle also treasured a jar of good wine. Let him open it today, and have a good drink with him."

Fang Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Uncle Lin Zheng, it's just right for you to go. I was going to call Xiao Zhuang to my house. I went to the town today, and shopkeeper Chen gave me a roast goose. Let's eat roast goose together."

As soon as Xiao Zhuang heard that there was roast goose to eat, he immediately urged his father to leave, holding candied haws in his little hand, looking ridiculous.While teasing Xiao Zhuang, Fang Zhiyuan walked back with Lin Zheng.

Fang Zeng met Lin Xin first, and he knew that Lin Xin might have something on his mind these few days, but although he and Lin Xin were cousins, they didn't get along with Lin Zhengna, and his housework was obviously beyond the scope of discussion .He was talking to Lin Xin, and he happened to express his idea of ​​wanting to buy land for Lin Xin to analyze and analyze.

Lin Xin's head hurts from being annoyed by family affairs, and Fang Zeng was asked by him about buying land.I sighed in my heart, this cousin of mine has saved up the money for the purchase this year, and this mu of land costs at least six or seven taels of silver, so it seems that the Fang family's family fortune must be at least a dozen taels silver.

Thinking about Fang Zeng's blue brick and tile house and mule cart, Lin Xin realized that Fang Zeng was already a decent family in their village.At the same time, thinking about my own family, I have a lot of land in my family. I and Da Zhuang are hardworking people, but I can't even buy a mule, although I have saved some money.But with Lin Shun around, they didn't dare to use it, for fear of being pressured by Ah Mo's father to lend it to Lin Shuang.

Thinking about it this way, he is not only angry with Lin Shuang, but also angry with his father.

Of course, as Li Zheng of Lin Family Village, he is very familiar with the field business.Farmers take the land as their life, and they will never touch the land without too many difficulties.Lin Family Village has always had fewer people and more people, so it is impossible to buy land in the village.

However, there should be some in other villages, and he happened to be going to Zhao's house to pick up his husband and children.You can also help Fang Zeng ask in Zhaojia Village to see if there is any land for sale.Lin Xin told Fang Zeng of his plan, and Fang Zeng also understood that good land was not easy to buy, so he couldn't be in a hurry, so he asked Lin Xin to keep an eye on him first.

In less than a cup of tea, Lin Zheng also came over.Xiao Zhuang's Fang family had never known each other, so he and Fang Zhiyuan wandered around. Fang Zhiyuan first took him to cut a roast goose wing for him to taste.

We ate dinner at Fang's house, Lin Xin felt aggrieved, drank a lot of wine, and got drunk, Lin Zheng sent his brother back.Xiao Zhuang was sent back by Fang Zeng, Fang Zhiyuan cleared the table and was going to tell his uncle about buying a shop.

Fang Zeng came back very late, mainly because he sent Xiao Zhuang back and saw that Lin Zheng had not returned, so he was worried and went to Lin Xin's house to see.I didn't expect to see Lin Xin drunk and telling Lin Cheng and his wife that he felt wronged, and the more he said it, the more uncomfortable he was, his eyes turned red.Lin Cheng's family watched and touched tears, and said that they were sorry for their eldest son, and Lin Cheng's family also kept smoking dry tobacco, muffled.

He went, but he couldn't leave just after seeing him. With his great strength, he and Lin Zheng sent Lin Xin, who was a little excited, to sleep on the kang.Only now did he come back, but Fang Zeng knew in his heart that he had drank with Lin Xin before, knowing his drinking capacity, Lin Xin definitely did not drink as much as he did today, and it was probably because it was hard to say usually, so he pretended to be crazy by drinking. Tell him Ah Mo and Daddy.

Fang Zhiyuan waited for Fang Zeng to come back, and told about Lin Xin.Looking at Fang Zeng, he was a little tired, so he didn't say anything.I don't need to be in a hurry when I think about it, I will have a good talk with his uncle later when I find an opportunity.So, the two uncles and nephews went back to their rooms to sleep with their own ideas.

The next day, early in the morning, Fang Zeng drove to the town impatiently, wanting to inquire about the purchase of land.Fang Zhiyuan was also a little tired on the first day, so he got up late, and after he got dressed, he didn't see his uncle.

He was too lazy to make breakfast by himself, took out the pastries given by Liu Zhuang yesterday, and ate two pieces of cakes to fill his stomach with the hot water in the morning.He thought that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and he should get some good food, so he went to see what was delicious at home, and prepared to make it to reward himself.

The grass carp left by the family was raised by Fang Zeng in the pond, and it was only caught a few days ago to be salted and dried.But Fang Zhiyuan's imaginative trick of selling soup dumplings messed up Fang Zeng's plan.Only these few grass carp can survive in the world, and Fang Zhiyuan has just thought about the following way to eat the grass carp, and after much deliberation, fish balls are the best.

Grass carp bones are the best for making fish balls. Fang Zhiyuan learned how to make fish balls from his mother.Before wearing it, he liked to eat fish, his father liked fishing, and his mother's cooking skills were even more authentic.Among them, the fish balls specially made by grandma for the elderly and loose teeth are the most commonly made by his mother.

He followed his mother since he was a child, and he could make it with his eyes closed. At that time, he didn't feel how nostalgic he was for fish balls in front of so many delicacies.But when his relatives disappeared overnight, he never tasted the fish balls that he remembered for more than ten years.And he didn't do it again, and he couldn't get up the interest of making fish balls anymore.

When he got here, he had Fang Zeng, an elder who cared and cared for him, and a younger brother who followed him as his younger brother, which gave him a sense of belonging to this backward and impoverished place.Therefore, he also became interested in making fish balls. In the coming spring, his family has no land, so he always needs to find some income to subsidize the family.

Fish balls are easy to say and easy to make, just need to know the tricks.Kill the fish and remove the thorns, chop the fish meat and stir the fish paste.Stir in one direction, and wait until Fang Zhiyuan feels that his hands are so sore that he can't lift it up, then he beats the minced fish.After boiling hot water, the fish balls were served, and one pot of minced fish got two pots of fish balls.

Fang Zhiyuan tasted the taste, and it was almost the same as the taste in memory, which made him very emotional.Fang Zhiyuan filled a bowl with some chopped green onions, and finished it in two or three bites.Thinking about the big and small Zhuang, he still put two bowls in a basket and sent them to the big and small Zhuang's family. Lin Xin's family and Lin Zheng's family are not the kind of stingy people. Zhiyuan a copy.

Reciprocate, Fang Zhiyuan knows that the way of the world means that there will be exchanges, only going in and not being annoying, only going out and not getting in is stupid, the best way to get along is to have contacts.Fang Zhiyuan has always done a good job in this aspect. In his previous life, he was famous for his clear distinction between grievances and grievances. If people treat him well, he will treat them very well. He couldn't help it either, he couldn't do whatever he wanted.At that time, there will be grievances for grievances, and revenge for revenge.

Fang Zhiyuan took the fish balls to Da Zhuang's house first, and Da Zhuang went to his mother's house for a few days, in Fang Zhiyuan's opinion: I'm afraid Lin Xin should bring Da Zhuang and Da Zhuang's aunt back today.Otherwise, Lin Xin wouldn't have said those things to his father in a drunken mood.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Da Zhuang's house, Da Zhuang had already returned.Seeing Fang Zhiyuan coming, I was excited, ran up to Fang Zhiyuan and said, "Brother Fang, why are you here? Let me tell you, my grandfather brought me a lot of delicious food, let's eat together. By the way, Brother Fang, my grandma brought us three pigeons and said that the stew is the best."

Seeing that Da Zhuang was not affected, Fang Zhiyuan let go of the last worry in his heart.Smiling at him, he said, "Look at your interest, Brother Fang also brought you delicious food. Would you like to try it?"

Da Zhuang was thinking about all the delicious food Fang Zhiyuan ate, his saliva tended to flow out, and his little head nodded like he was pecking rice at the chicken.He stared at Fang Zhiyuan eagerly, as if saying: "I really want to eat! I really want to eat!" Fang Zhiyuan became more and more amused, touched the bowl in the basket and it was cold.

The temperature was low this day, and the fish balls were getting cold quickly, Fang Zhiyuan didn't dare to let Da Zhuang eat them like this.So I took Da Zhuang to his aunt's place, where Lin Xin's family was making pork belly for the new year.Seeing Fang Zhiyuan coming, he hurriedly greeted him and poured him a glass of sugar water. Fang Zhiyuan didn't like Tian too much, but Da Zhuang was very envious.

Fang Zhiyuan took out the fish balls, and Lin Xin's family thanked him again and again.Seeing Da Zhuang watching from the side, after thinking about it, he took out half a bowl of hot water and filled a small bowl for Fang Zhiyuan and Da Zhuang.Da Zhuang looked at the white and tender fish balls, and couldn't wait for the fish balls to be cold, so he dug one into his mouth.He was so hot that he screamed, but he couldn't bear to spit it out, so he fiddled with it in his mouth for a long time and swallowed it.

After eating, he finally said to Fang Zhiyuan: "Brother Fang, your cooking is so delicious!" Fang Zhiyuan poured out the untouched fish balls in the bowl to Da Zhuang, asking him to eat more.

Lin Xin's family joked: "You little devil, you only want to coax you brother Huzi. You coax you brother Huzi to give you good food and drink. The little mouth is really sweet. Your father and I are honest. People, I don't know who you look like, so good at flirting with people."

Da Zhuang could only smirk foolishly, so he still gave him another spoonful.

Lin Xin's family said, "Huzi, Uncle brought pigeons today and made braised pork. You and your uncle come to have a meal."

Fang Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Uncle, I really didn't have a good time today. I made fish balls and other dishes today, and I wanted to ask you to come over to eat them. So, I can't do it today."

Lin Xin's family didn't force him, and brought Fang Zhiyuan a pigeon and a bowl of braised pork.Da Zhuang consciously became Fang Zhiyuan's little follower, and happily followed Fang Zhiyuan back home.On the way, I also went to Xiao Zhuang's house to give something away, and I got a Xiao Zhuang bun as a matter of course.

When he got home, Fang Zeng hadn't come back yet, so Fang Zhiyuan guessed that he might have something to do and couldn't make it back, so he had hot fish balls and tofu fish head and had dinner with Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang.

After noon, Fang Zeng came back from the car, but his face was beaming.Big Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang had already taken off their clothes and fell asleep on Fang Zhiyuan's kang. When Fang Zeng came back, Fang Zhiyuan heard the sound of mules and came out to have a look.

Fang Zeng was very excited to Fang Zhiyuan, and said loudly: "Huzi, is there any ready-made food at home? Uncle, I am so busy that my stomach is pounding." Fang Zhiyuan quickly heated up the food and served it to the table .

Fang Zengxian drank a large bowl of fish balls and was obviously very satisfied with the fish balls.After eating three bowls of rice with tofu and fish head, he stopped his chopsticks. When Fang Zhiyuan served him another meal, he pushed it away and said, "Huzi, I don't need the rice. The fish balls are made well. Serve uncle a bowl, and uncle will be enough."

After eating and drinking, Fang Zeng slowly talked about today's events: "Huzi, Uncle originally planned to see how many acres of land there was to buy over a period of time, but I didn't expect such a coincidence. I went to the town today and found There is a family in Liujia Village with only one elder brother. His elder brother is filial and married and wants to take them over to take care of them. They want to sell the Liu family’s land and live in the town. One mu will cost six taels, six mu Good paddy field. I see that our family will be self-sufficient by growing rice next year, but it will be enough.”

Only then did Fang Zhiyuan realize that his uncle, as a native farmer, cared more about the land than he had imagined.For the first time, Fang Zhiyuan realized that he hadn't thought about his uncle's thoughts properly.Here, where there is land, there is food, and where there is food, there is a stable life.
