Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Boss He and his family went to Baisha Village to pay New Year's greetings to Yang Yaner's Ahma.The New Year's gift is a piece of cloth, Liang Xiu sent it, Yang Yan'er didn't want it, and gave it away, a rooster and a hen.It seems that there are few things, but the price of a piece of clothing is worth the price of others.

Yang Dashi's family welcomed his younger brother in.Yang Yan'er deliberately took out the material for the clothes, and while the courtyard door was still open, it fluttered in the wind, "This is a good material in the county town, sister-in-law is just right for making clothes."

Jia Xing'er rolled her eyes, "It's just here, what are you doing with such an expensive gift?" After taking the material and feeling it, the villager who looked at the courtyard door from the corner of his eye and probed his head put the material on his arm, and held He Xiaohua with one hand, "Xiaohua is here , Sister-in-law made sweet buns, come over and have a taste."

He Xiaozhu led his younger brothers to kowtow to his mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law was in good spirits, and her eyes were full of shrewdness.

Jia Xing'er looked at He Xiaohua who was wearing a pink jacket, people depend on clothes, He Xiaohua was already pretty, but putting on new clothes attracted more eyes.Jia Xing'er's mind became more active, and she had told Yang Dashi about that idea long ago, and Yang Dashi also agreed to find an opportunity to talk to Yang Yan'er, originally the Hundred Days Banquet was a good opportunity, but Dahe was ill and couldn't get away, I missed it in vain, now that I think about it, it is better to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to find out what Yang Yaner and his wife are thinking.

Jia Xing'er winked at Yang Dashi, Yang Dashi understood, and chatted with Boss He, talking about the work in the field and last year's harvest.Boss He was happy to have someone to talk with him, and the two of them became more and more excited as they chatted. Boss He said that he planned to take over the business of planting lotus roots in the swamp.Jia Xing'er had eaten lotus root a few times, and mentioned it to Dashi when she got home. Yang Dashi was curious that this swamp didn't eat people, yet it could grow food for people to eat.

"Xiaohu read it from a book," Mrs. He showed his second son in awe, "Xiaohu said that the lotus root is rough work, easy to preserve, and edible all over the body. Sow in spring and summer, and harvest in autumn and winter. Xiaohu said, this In addition to the lotus roots that my family eats, all the lotus roots are sold to restaurants. And the pond where the lotus roots are raised can also raise fish. Think about it, who has fresh fish to eat in this winter? Eat it, and sell it in restaurants."

"Wait, this lotus root is a fresh product, will the restaurants in the city accept it?"

"Why don't you. Let me tell you, my brother, Xiaohua, has cooked several lotus root dishes. You didn't come on the day of the [-]th day, so you missed it. The taste of the dish is good, and everyone in the village said it was good after eating it. Some Uncle wants to ask Yan'er where he got it. Hehe, we didn't say anything. When the lotus root is ripe, we will bring the lotus root and the dishes made of lotus root to the county restaurant to find the shopkeeper. Find us to buy."

Yang Dashi was moved when he heard that, he put Jia Xing'er's thoughts aside, and moved closer to Boss He, "Is the lotus root more money than the money dug in the ground?"

Speaking of this, Yang Dashi did not dare to boast, "My Xiaohu said, the work in the field will be done as it is, and the lotus root work will be treated as a side job. There is a right and a side, and the two are not incompatible."

As soon as Yang Dashi slapped his thigh, it was different for him to study well, not like this boy.I hang out in the school every day, and I don't know how much I have learned.

"Let me tell you, you and Xiaozhu are the only ones in your family to go to the field. This is a lotus root, and it's also a farmer. I'm afraid there are not enough people."

"Xiaohu said that as long as the lotus root is planted obliquely in the mud in spring, it can live on its own without much care, and there is no need to do any water and fertilization. There is little work."

"You can't say that. If someone is jealous and wants to steal it, what should you do? No matter what, you have to find someone to look at it."

"Then, what do you mean?" Boss He was a little confused about Yang Dashi.

"Let me tell you, we are also a family. If you take over the work of the pond, you only have a little land. If the two work together, it will be twice as big. Look, someone has to dig this swamp. It takes a lot of effort to build a pond. Let's work together, and we can guarantee that it will be completed before summer. And I will find the person who looks after the pond for you. He is the second child of the Bai family in the village. A few years ago, he worked as a nurse in Fucheng , I have learned two skills, now I am old, I want to come back to live a stable life, I am alone, the eldest son of the Bai family does not want to see him, and thinks he is idle. I have seen this person, and I think he is a good person , to be honest, he doesn’t talk much, he is trustworthy. Give him some money, build a hut for him by the pond, and let him look at it. Take a look, will this work?”

After Yang Dashi finished a series of words, he didn't take a breath, and Boss He's eyes widened when he heard it, "You, are you serious?"

"Seriously, why not. Let me tell you, you have asked the tax bank how to calculate this matter?"

Boss He slapped his thigh, "Since it's serious, we have to work hard. The tax money, my village chief told me, is calculated as the land, tax exemption for three years, and tax for three and a half years." Boss He was happy, A family working alone is at most one seedling field, and two families together have four laborers. Xiaohu and Dahe can only count as half, and they can find someone to watch them every day. At least they can contract about four seedlings.What's more, this pond not only raises lotus root, but also fish.

As for how much lotus root can bring, Boss He didn't worry about it. His own Xiaohu patted his chest to guarantee it, and Boss He also had a careful thought. He went to Gyeongju Port, saw the prosperity, and saw all kinds of strange things. I vaguely felt that selling lotus root to Gyeongju Port might be a good choice.

Boss He and Yang Dashi talked excitedly, while Jia Xing'er over there shook her handkerchief angrily.This man is unreliable.

Jia Xing'er pulled Xiao Hua, "Has Xiao Hua learned how to embroider?"

Yang Yan'er smiled, "I haven't learned it yet, I'm thinking about starting it in summer. Xiaohua is still young, so it won't be a problem to learn it later."

"Brother has a good skill, but the benefits are endless. I thought, or Xiao Hua will stay at home. I also need to find a successor for this skill."

Yang Yan'er squinted at Yang Dahe, remembering the past, her face was a little delicate, "There are many things at home, I see that Xiaosi can't get away, I have to rely on Xiaohua to help look at everything inside and outside here. It's the same with my mother-in-law. It should be, but as the days go by, I'm afraid..."

Jia Xing'er raised her eyebrows.In recent years, Yang Yan'er has lost her ability to speak in the past. The He family saw that there were many children, and there was nothing that could not be solved. Now that I think about it, it all happened after He Xiaohua was born.The smile on his face was still the same, but in his heart he believed that Xiao Hua was a lucky person, so he took another two points of strength to hold Xiao Hua's hand.

He Xiaohua struggled to get away, with a bitter face, "Uncle, my hand hurts."

Jia Xinger's expression froze, and she let go of her hand in embarrassment, "Xiao Hua, do you want to learn embroidery from Uncle Momo? Xiao Hua come and have a look, this is the clothes Uncle Momo made for Xiao Hua, look at the color, do Xiao Hua like it?"

He took out a set of pink long trousers, the sleeves were dotted, and the trousers were connected with peach blossoms, "Look at Xiaohua, do you like it?"

From an artistic point of view, the peach blossom is really well embroidered, with bright colors and tight stitches, but from the point of view of wearing it on the upper body, Xiaohua doesn't think it's good.

Holding her clothes, pursing her mouth, she quietly glanced at Yang Yan'er, He Xiaohua lowered her head and said nothing.

Jia Xing'er ran into a wall twice in a row, and couldn't hold back the smile on her face.At this moment, the lady who had been closing her eyes to rest suddenly opened her eyes, "Let me have a look."

Yang Yan'er took the clothes and nodded Xiaohua's head, "Go and thank sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law's craftsmanship is one of the best in the county. You, a child, dare to pick the clothes he made for you."

What she said was correct, but when Jia Xinger heard it, she felt harsh.

He Xiaohua handed the clothes to her mother-in-law. Yang Yan'er squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, "Well, it's not bad. Is the meal ready? Yan'er's family came from a long way away. After lunch, go back early."

Yang Yan'er hurriedly said that there was no rush, and she wanted to spend more time with Ah.

The topic was lightly lifted.Jia Xing'er was angry, Yang Yan'er kept blocking her, the more Jia Xing'er thought about it.Taking advantage of lunch, he pulled Yang Dahe aside and told him to play with cousin Xiaohua for a while longer in the afternoon.Yang Dahe fully agreed.

After lunch, Yang Yan'er hugged Xiao Si and went to the room to rest for a while, Jia Xing'er waited on her wife to take a nap, Yang Dashi took Boss He out to meet the second child of the Bai family.Yang Dahe took on the responsibility of playing with Xiaohua and Xiaohu's cousin. As for Xiaozhu, he felt that he was about to be engaged, and he didn't want to play with children, so he ran to Baisha Village and wandered around.

Yang Dahe is Jia Xinger's only child, and he also goes to school. It happened that after the beginning of spring, he and Xiaohu took the children's exam together.The two boys should have talked more when they got together.But Xiaohu was holding the book alone, hiding under the eaves and watching silently, while Xiaohua and Yang Dahe were left with big eyes.

"Cousin Dahe, what words did you learn in school?" Based on the principle of not being cold, He Xiaohua had nothing to say.

"Xiaohua, what can you learn in the school, isn't it just those. Let me tell you about Baisha Village. There are so many interesting things in our village..."

"Cousin Dahe, what allusions did you learn in school, let me tell you about it."

"Xiaohua, there is a long story in our village. It is said to have a history of hundreds of years..."

"Cousin Dahe..."

"Xiaohua, let me tell you about going down the river to catch fish in summer, it's very fun..."

"Cousin Dahe, I..."

"Xiaohua, let me tell you about the snowball fight in winter, it's fun..."

"Cousin Dahe, I think..."

"Xiao Hua, why don't we go play in the snow?"

"Cousin Dahe, I want to drink some hot water!" He Xiaohua couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted out loudly.

Yang Dahe shrunk his shoulders and rubbed his ears, "Xiaohua, don't shout, brother, it's scary."

He Xiaohua turned her head and ran to He Xiaohu's side, ignoring Yang Dahe.Also studying in the school, why is there such a big difference between Yang Dahe and He Xiaohu.Yang Dahe looks shrewd, and he avoids important things in his words. He is undoubtedly qualified to be a businessman, but as a relative or friend, he cannot be trusted by others.

Yang Dahe didn't mind Xiaohua ignoring him, so he ran outside the courtyard contentedly, calling friends to make snow to play.

At dusk, Boss He took his family and walked home.Jia Xing'er was a little unhappy about not being able to keep Xiaohua to stay for a few more days, and she didn't care about cooking for dinner, so she just reheated the leftovers for lunch and ate them.

Stay in the main room and close your eyes to meditate. The wife opened her eyes, and slapped Yang Dahe's hand away, "Walk away, aren't you unhappy if you don't see me?"

Yang Dahe leaned forward in a fawning manner, and squeezed his wife's shoulders, "Ah Mo is not happy, what should I do, begging for a fight?"

Look at Yang Dahe trying his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth and close his eyes, "After all, we are a family, don't neglect the relationship."

Yang Dahe nodded desperately, Jiujiu Taimei closed his eyes, half asleep, the corners of his tense mouth finally saw the opportunity and curled up.
