Yipin Farmer

"We're not greedy, just one or two thousand taels of silver is fine." Ting Hui looked forward to a bright future while digging.

"One or two hundred is fine. It's enough to open a small shop and renovate the house. It won't be too difficult for us. A small business will develop slowly. When we have money, we can repair the tomb beautifully." , and bring Xiaolan back."

While digging, Ting Shuang was looking forward to it, and wondered if Xiaolan would be bullied. The most important thing is to make money quickly and try to make yourself stronger, so that you can protect your younger siblings.

The brothers dug the yard upside down, digging every corner and corner, but they didn't find the treasure of their dreams. Ting Hui plunged the shovel in discouragedly, and only heard the sound of metal hitting.Immediately, he was so energetic that he didn't bother to pick up the shovel, and started to plan with his hands.

A jar appeared in the soil.

"It's really a treasure." Ting Shuang was surprised and excited, digging the jar out of the ground excitedly with four hands.

A wine jar with a capacity of five or six liters, if it contains gold and silver, will definitely cost thousands of taels.

Ting Hui's eyes lit up excitedly, and he couldn't wait to take off the lid of the altar.

I saw that there were many small bags in the jar, and there were different seeds in the small bags, but there was nothing else.Ting Hui didn't believe it. He turned the jar upside down and looked at it again. There was really nothing but seeds. Ting Hui was extremely disappointed and continued to dig down.

There was a piece of paper stuck to the inside of the altar cover. Ting Shuang carefully took it off and opened it. It turned out to be a letter with weak handwriting, but it was written by Mrs. Yang herself.

It reads: "My son personally read: When you read this letter, you have already turned over the ground, and after turning over the ground, you will plant the rapeseed in this jar, and you will be able to harvest it in a short time. Ask Aunt Zhou next door about the matter. Remember, shed your own sweat, eat your own food, rely on the sky, people, and ancestors, and you are not a man."

"Oh my God!" Ting Hui screamed and fell to the ground, "I thought I could find a treasure, but it turned out to be such a thing, how could mother lie to us like this, don't give us hope if there is no treasure, what will happen in the days to come? Have you passed?"

"Stop barking, Xiaohui." Ting Shuang gently rubbed the rapeseed in the altar, tears streaming down her face again, "This is the treasure Mother left for us."

"Where is this baby?" Ting Hui was puzzled.

Ting Shuang said, "Do you still remember what Dad said?"

"what?"

"He said that people who enjoy without suffering do not know that material resources are difficult, do not know how to cherish, and are easy to lose money." Ting Shuang's eyes were slightly sad, as if lost in memory. "If this is a pot of gold and silver, we can't hold it in our hands, and we will spend it all sooner or later. But if we plant these seeds, we will soon reap them. If we plant these seeds every season, we will reap endlessly, and we will be able to live. It is more precious to get harvested by one's own labor. This wealth is more precious than gold and silver, and can be used for a long time. So, this is treasure, yes."

"Brother is right." Ting Zhi agreed, "The ancients said it well, gold and silver are not as good as one skill. Learning to survive is the most precious wealth, much more precious than gold and silver."

"Well said. If it wasn't for the baby, how could you dig so hard?" Ting Shuang stood up, grabbed the shovel and stuffed it into his brother's hand, and waved boldly, "Get up and work."

Ting Ke and Ting Zhi stood up and started working with shovels.Ting Hui squatted for a while, saw his younger brothers were working, curled his lips, and started to follow behind.

Ting Shuang had never planted land before, and couldn't distinguish the seeds, so she had to ask Aunt Zhou next door for help.When Aunt Zhou came over, she was not surprised at all when she saw the ground that had been dug up to the sky in the yard, as if she knew it long ago, and told them which one is bean seed, which one is celery seed, which one is best planted in a pond, and which one is best planted against a wall , Eggplant and pepper should be raised before transplanting.

Five people cleaned up a yard, and it was done quickly.Ting Shuang looked at the fruit trees and land in the yard, and thought about it. It won't be long before this place will be full of vitality, fruits and hope will be harvested, and it will be exciting to think about it.

Before she left, Aunt Zhou told them that the Meng family's five acres of land under the hillside was enough for one person to breed, and suggested that their brothers take one person out to the city to find work.

Ting Shuang thought about it, this is a good way, who will go?Ting Zhi wants to study and prepare for the exam, so he has to stay at home to guard this last foundation.The remaining second child and third child are both young masters who don’t know how to make a living. The difference is that the third child doesn’t understand anything, so it’s safe to say that the second child thinks he knows everything when he doesn’t understand anything. It's uncomfortable to show that you're smart, so it's better to put the second child under your nose and stare at it, and let the third child go out. Anyway, his age is modern and he is about to enter the third year of high school.

It was decided at the moment that Ting Ke went to the city to find a job.

The west room arranged for the fourth child to study and sleep, while the other three brothers slept on the big kang in the east room.

That night, Ting Shuang tossed and turned on the kang and couldn't sleep. The cause of her insomnia was not only that the second child on the left was grinding her teeth, but the third child on the right was snoring. It is enough to live comfortably without worrying about food and clothing, and to go further, to restore the affluent life when old man Meng was there, and to see if there is a further development in the future.

Ting Shuang continued to bake pancakes on the kang. The most difficult thing to do now is that she has no capital. It will be easy after earning the first pot of gold, but where will the first pot of gold be earned?Touch the receiver on your wrist and ask the professor, he probably can't conjure up gold and silver and send it over. It would be nice if copper coins could drop from the sky.

Just thinking about hearing the rain dripping and beeping outside, the raindrops hit the tiles rhythmically, like a beautiful tune, listening to it, Ting Shuang fell asleep, in the dream, it was like crackling on the roof All that fell was silver.

Waking up early the next morning, Ting Shuang started to light a fire to cook, but there was nothing delicious. The sorghum noodles, corn bread, and pickled vegetables were all donated by the villagers.Ting Hui couldn't swallow, sighed and put down his chopsticks.

Ting Shuang advised him: "Stop sighing, the more you sigh, the more unlucky you are. Keep up your spirits, and you will be fine after this period of time."

Ting Hui looked out the window and said, "I see green in the yard, is it because the seeds have germinated? We will be able to eat fresh vegetables soon."

"Don't get nervous, there are no seeds that just planted that can grow overnight, and they are not mushrooms."

"Yes, we can pick mushrooms." Ting Hui patted the table in surprise and said, "It rained last night, there must be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain."

The brothers acted immediately, and Tingzhi stayed at home to study and watch the house.The other three went to the field. The Meng family's field was at the foot of the hillside. The wheat seedlings were planted last year and they were growing well.

Ting Shuang observed it for a while, and felt chills in her heart. No wonder Father Meng left the mountain village to work outside, no wonder why Zhou Yigen didn't want to plant his family's land any more, but went to the county town to find work.This land is low-lying, and the crops are easily flooded, so it is not a good farmland.It is okay to plant such a field for food and clothing for one or two people, but it is not enough for a family.

In order to encourage her younger brother, Ting Shuang didn't say anything, only said that this place is very good and she will gain a lot in the future.

This piece of land is next to Li Dazhu's family. Li Dazhu is also an honest and hardworking person. He goes to work in the field at dawn. When he saw his brothers busy in the field, he asked strangely, "What are you doing to harvest the wheat seedlings?"

Before Ting Hui and Ting Ke could react, Ting Shuang understood what was going on, and immediately blushed.

Li Dazhu understood and laughed at them: "You scholars can understand characters, but you can't recognize wheat seedlings and grasses."

As he spoke, he taught them how to pull weeds, how to make weirs, and how to fertilize.

Ting Hui frowned when he heard that he was going to pick up dung and compost.

Li Dazhu knew that these sons and sisters were too dirty and too tired, and said: "A crop is a flower, and it depends entirely on dung. Only when it is fully fertilized can it grow well."

"That's what you said." Ting Shuang said humbly, "Our brothers are the kind of guys who don't work hard and don't distinguish between five grains. Please give me some advice."

Li Dazhu nodded: "God will not treat hardworking people badly. Only people who are hardworking will have a bright future. It is a good thing to suffer a little bit when you are young."

Ting Hui pursed his lips and said nothing, but Ting Shuang replied "You're right."

Li Dazhu talked excitedly, and talked a lot about the livelihood of serving the crops. Ting Shuang listened carefully and wrote it down, and motioned to his younger brothers to remember that even if Baidu is in hand, when it really comes time to do it, the effect of that thing is very limited. It is far worse than an experienced old farmer giving pointers in the field.

After finishing the work at hand, Ting Shuang looked around. There was a large piece of wasteland under the hillside, and a pond, totaling about [-] acres. If these were utilized, there would definitely be a future for development.

"Uncle Li, this piece of wasteland is unowned, right? Why isn't anyone in the village planting it?"

Li Dazhu replied: "This land is low-lying, and the crops are easily flooded, and the harvest is not very good. Besides, there are a total of hundreds of households in the village, and their own land is enough to work. How can they have time to serve this kind of land? Settling down."

Ting Shuang looked at the land, her eyes lit up.

Li Dazhu saw what he meant, and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to develop this land?" Then he kindly persuaded him: "If it is beneficial to develop this kind of land, the villagers have already thought of a way to open it. If you want to open up wasteland, I'm afraid you will be too busy, and the harvest will not be very good."

Ting Shuang smiled and said nothing. He already had the idea of ​​opening up wasteland. As for how to open up, he had to plan carefully.

There wasn't much work in the field anymore, so Ting Shuang asked her two younger brothers to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and stayed to finish the rest by herself.When I finished work, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and I was so tired that my back hurt. What was more uncomfortable was that something had grown in the field, and it was very itchy when I rubbed it on my skin. "Dan" will itch when it touches the skin, just rub it with ginger slices.He said and took a few pieces of ginger to him.

Ting Shuang took Jiang back to her home and started cooking. She remembered that Ting Hui didn't eat much in the morning, and she had to find a way to get him to eat more in the evening.Look at the house, white flour, meat and fish, eggs, oil, nothing, really embarrassing.

There are still a few radishes in the basket, let's mix some shredded radish.As long as the rough vegetables are prepared carefully, even if there is no meat and less oil, it can still be eaten.

Just do it, Ting Shuang washed the radish, put it on the table and cut it up carefully, first sliced ​​and then shredded. Although his knife skill is not as good as that of a housewife who often cooks, it is better than ordinary people who do not touch Yangchun with their fingers. People in water are much better. They can't cut a bunch of filaments in a short time like those people who are flying with knives, but they can still cut out slowly.

After cutting for a while, there was a pile of shredded radishes on the table, as thin as a match root, and Ting Shuang looked very accomplished.Now wait for them to pick the mushrooms back, and then they can cook the soup.

Just as she was thinking, heavy footsteps sounded outside the door, and Ting Shuang laughed when she heard it. If these two boys lived in a modern apartment building, it would be strange if the people downstairs didn't come up to protest. They always have heavy hands.

"Brother, what do you think we brought back?" Ting Hui's voice was full of joy.

Ting Shuang came out to take a look and saw that they had picked two big baskets full of mushrooms, and said with a smile, "Why are you picking so many mushrooms? If you don't eat them all, they will go bad."

"Then let's carry it to the city and sell it." Ting Hui immediately suggested.

"No." Old Si Tingzhi objected, "We are keeping a filial piety, so we can't show our faces."

Ting Shuang was a little puzzled, did the ancient filial piety just keep the door closed and not go out?Rich people can do this. If people like them don't go out to find work, won't they starve to death?
