clang farming notes

Du's family built a house, and the yard was in a mess. Naturally, it was impossible to study in such an environment. There was no way, Du Zhongping took a few children outside to hide.

Zhao Ba naturally wanted to help, and Fang Sheng wanted to stay, but was dragged away by Du Zhongping.

Having known Fang Sheng for so long, Du Zhongping felt that Fang Sheng was different from Zhao Ba and the others. He liked to be clean and didn’t talk about it, and he didn’t like to have physical contact with others. Paida to show affection will never happen to Fang Sheng.Therefore, he didn't feel that Fang Sheng was very comfortable seeing someone at home working shirtless.

This time, the Du family not only wanted to build the east and west wing rooms, but also the gatehouse in front.The two of the Du family always felt that it was inconvenient to let visitors go to the back room. After building a gatehouse, visitors would be entertained in front, and the children could also read in the gatehouse.

The leader is Li Erge, but he is the first to contact all the bricks, tiles and timber. He is also responsible for the division of labor among bricklayers, carpenters, and small workers.Duan just paid the bill and arranged for the meals of the masters.Zhao Ba is responsible for distributing the materials. If you buy so many things at one time, someone has to be in charge. Although the big guys are all good-hearted to help, there are some people who fish in troubled waters and steal things if they are not guaranteed, so there must be someone who can hold them .

Now the seeds have just planted, there is nothing else to do, everyone is free, so the progress is very fast.He starts work at dawn every day, takes a short break at noon, and only stays until dark in the afternoon. He has to eat wine and dinner at Du's house before leaving.At first, only a few families came to help, but later someone saw that although the Du family did not pay wages, the three meals a day were excellent, so there were people who came to help for the meals, and there were even more people.There are many people, so things are complicated. Zhao Ba and Du An are very busy every day, but they drove Du Zhongping, Fang Sheng and Jin'er out early, and locked the door when they went out, so as not to lose things when people come and go , everyone is not good-looking.

It's not easy for Du Zhongping to take a group of children to someone's house, so he had to find a spacious place to stay.After much deliberation, only the open space in the middle of the village is the best, and there are big trees for shade.

Now that winter is over, the market only opens every half a month, and there are not many people on weekdays, so there is just a place for them to do activities.

Now that he is out of the house, Du Zhongping is not sticking to books. He points to the leaves, flowers, plants, and stone benches that the children see one by one to teach them to read and write. Unexpectedly, the effect is not bad.Originally, these children had no foundation, so they were naturally more interested in what they could see and touch, and they were very interested in learning characters.

Fang Sheng was pulled out by Du Zhongping, and he had been studying with Du Zhongping for a while, and he could understand some simple medical books and medicine books, but he always felt that he had never been in a serious school, and he was a little unconfident.Now follow me out to help, it is inevitable to help teach the children who are just getting started.Fang Sheng, who thought he was not good at first, suddenly discovered that he could read and write what the children pointed out—although the handwriting was not as good-looking as Du Zhongping, but there was not much in one stroke, and one stroke was not less, and the structure was correct. Horizontal and vertical, it is easier to recognize than Du Zhongping's writing on the ground.

Yes, now they all pick up a branch and write on the ground, and the children squat around to watch.You can't demand that you have to carry a pen, ink, paper and inkstone with you at all times, right?This is also considered adapting measures to local conditions.

The more Fang Sheng teaches, the more interested he is. When he encounters some flowers and plants that can be used as medicine, he also gives explanations, from how to pick them to how to prepare them and how to consume them.The older child was fascinated by what he heard, but he didn’t understand, so he kept pestering him and asking again and again—there is no one in the family who suffers from headaches, if he can take the medicine himself, he can save money Eat two extra meals of meat.They are smart in their calculations.

Later, even Du Zhongping listened to it. He also followed Fang Sheng to read medicine books for a while last fall, but he only picked out famous and valuable medicinal materials, which were easy to sell. How could he have the patience to see them everywhere? Do you remember all the flowers and plants so clearly?Now he really admires Fang Sheng, it took so much effort to remember so many kinds of herbs so clearly, and he didn't stutter even when he said it, it was so clear and organized!Brother Sheng learns characters and reads books at the same time!

Thinking about the two of them in the family, Zhao Bazhong was very capable, he was very capable in dealing with people, and he was well aware of the world, and he reminded his family of many things.Duan can afford it even at home and abroad, from housekeeping to three meals a day, there is nothing he can't do.On the other hand, he, like Jin'er, has to be taken care of wherever he goes.For such a big matter as building a house by myself, I can't help at all, so I can only take care of the children.Du Zhongping deeply reviewed himself, he is really useless as a scholar, he is really useless.

Fortunately, he is not a person who makes a fool of himself. After being sad for a while, he decided in his heart to cheer up and take on the responsibility of being the head of the family and supporting his family.Then, I was busy looking after the children again.

The next day, Du Zhongping and Fang Sheng took the children to the riverside, and sat on the grass under the tree for class. They taught the characters first, and then Fang Sheng talked about the herbs.There are more flowers and plants by the river, and many of them can be used as medicine. Du Zhongping looked at Fang Sheng. Compared with when he first met Fang Sheng, he was in high spirits. It can be seen that if a person is in the place he likes Once the field is affirmed by others, the spirit will be different immediately - even if it is a group of children who affirm him.

Du Zhongping thought about it, these children used to run around and play around, if they recognized herbs, picked them back and sold them to the pharmacy in the city, it would also increase their income.There are also many bugs that these naughty boys usually catch and play with, which can also be used as medicine.At the very least, it would be great if they could earn back the money for books and stationery, which can be regarded as a work-study program.He decided to go back and discuss with his family.

Du's new house was completed after a busy month and a half.

Three wing rooms were built on the east side of the yard, two on the west side, and two and a half rooms on the east and west sides of the gatehouse, leaving a large gate opening in the middle that is large enough for mules and carts to go in and out.

One of the east wing rooms is used as a storage room, and the remaining two rooms are cleaned up and used as guest rooms.Now that Du Zhongping has promised to be a husband, there will definitely be more and more children in the future. If there are children from other villages, they can save them for a night if they encounter a cloudy and rainy day. Do a study or something.There are two rooms on the west side, one is used as a kitchen, and the other is used for rice, flour, grain and oil.In the future, the big stove in the main room only needs to boil water and cook rice, and the cooking is moved here to save the oil and smoke in the main room.

As for the concierge in the front, the one on the east side should be arranged simply. There is a table and a few chairs in the outside room. On weekdays, a few people can move here to read, talk and do work. Even if guests come, they can come here to entertain them. .There is a bed in the back room for people to take a nap, and a small stove is built in the outermost half of the room after entering the door, which can be used to boil water and so on.The two and a half rooms on the west side have been opened up, and a carpenter is invited to make long tables and stools. This will be the place for children to study in the future.

As for the well that Du Zhongping was planning to dig, it was finally placed in the backyard, not far from Zhao Ba's house, so that the two families can use water easily.Of course, it's more convenient to put it in the front yard, but it's better to be careful if there are children in front. That's it. Duane also asked a carpenter to make a manhole cover for it, which is usually tightly covered.My Jin'er is at the age where she loves to run and make trouble, so she must be careful.

As the Du family was building a house, the two families opened a door on the courtyard wall in the middle, so that they could communicate with each other at ordinary times, so as not to have to go around the door.This means that the relationship between the two families is good and there is no woman, otherwise there must be a taboo.

Du Zhongping and Du An were very satisfied with the new house. The masters who built the house really put in a lot of hard work. Not to mention anything else, the wall is almost three feet thick, and the material is enough.The master carpenter also worked very hard, and the doors and windows are neat and orderly. Although there are no patterns, they are solid and ironed, and the wood is well used.The tables, chairs and benches are also simple and elegant, and they are very strong.

Although everyone came to help, the Du family not only invited everyone to have a good meal that day, but also made red envelopes for each of them.This is a "reward" from the master's family to the craftsman, and it cannot be pushed back no matter what.

So far, Du Zhongping has officially become a teacher.He only had half a day of school every day, and at noon they left school after leaving their homework. These children could still do some work when they went back, so as not to delay too much work at home.He can also do some things on his own in the afternoon, so that Duane is not alone at home and outside.

Originally, the Du family lived in the east of the village, which was considered a relatively remote place. If there was nothing to do, no one would go this way.Fortunately, people in the village are willing to walk around the door of Du's house twice to listen to the sound of children reading.Even people from other villages will come to see something new.For a while, there were more people in front of Du's house.

It's just that when there are too many people, there will be some troubles.It wasn't the Du family that had the accident, but the neighbor - someone came to propose marriage to Fang Sheng.
