Yipin Farmer

Ting Shuang was more relieved to hear what the old couple of the Li family said, and said goodbye and went home.

When I got home, I saw that the old man Chu had already cleaned up all the vegetable fields, and the chicken manure and pig manure were also cleaned up and piled up in the backyard for composting.The sorghum porridge is also ready.Sorghum is not well-cooked, and it needs to be soaked for a long time before it can be boiled until soft.Mr. Chu soaked it the night before, cooked it for a day, and finally it was ready to eat.The dishes are steamed shredded radish and stir-fried loofah. Although there is less oil, they are fried just right. There are also pancakes with breaded rice noodles, which are yellow and fragrant.

Ting Shuang worked in the kitchen for a while, then brought a small bowl and put it on the Kang table.

Ting Hui saw it and asked, "Are you going to give me another little treat?"

"Yes." Ting Shuang vigorously stirred the things in the bowl, "Let him eat all the good things first, how can he grow thinner and thinner? There is no blood on his face."

"It must be because I am too tired from studying. This is a brain-consuming job."

After a while, Tingzhi came back from school, and Tingshuang wrapped the contents of the small bowl with pancakes: "Come on, Zhizhi, this is specially made for you, it's the best for your body. Open your mouth."

Ting Zhi opened her mouth as she said, waited for the thing to enter her mouth, and chewed it a few times.Ting Zhi's face changed, she covered her mouth and ran outside to vomit: "What is this, so disgusting?"

"This is mashed raw liver with mashed spinach. It's the most nourishing. I watched it on TV. Why did you vomit?" Ting Shuang followed him with a bowl, ready to feed.

"Tsk, just hearing this name makes people want to vomit." Ting Hui squatted beside him, watching the joke, and then asked, "What TV are you talking about?"

"You heard it wrong, I was talking about the Dian Shu. It is said in the Dian's book." Ting Shuang went over with the bowl without changing her face, "Your ear has something wrong, it must be ischemia, come, have a bite. "

Ting Hui ran away in fright.Old man Chu looked aside and smiled: "This food is really bad, I'll make it for you."

Mr. Chu washed the pork liver, cut it into thin slices, greased the pan with oil, cut a few slices of scallions obliquely, put the liver slices and scallions into the pan and stir-fried them, and put the pan and vegetables upside down a few times before putting them on a plate.

The weight of the iron pot is not light, and it is not only strength to do it twice like this, at least it takes a few years of skill on the stove.Ting Shuang helped him, and while watching him cook, he became more and more sure that this old man Chu was probably a chef, but why did he hide it from others?With this skill, he can make a living in any restaurant, why is he acting like a beggar?

Ting Shuang became more and more curious, but out of the principle of respecting the privacy of others, she refrained from asking.

The stir-fried pork liver is just right, soft and crispy, unlike someone who only mixes it raw or boils it.The few people ate deliciously, and Ting Shuang wondered if he would learn some cooking skills from old man Chu and open a small restaurant in the city in the future.

The next day, Ting Shuang and Ting Hui got up to pick vegetables again before dawn, and put them on a rack to sell vegetables in the city. The price was still moderate, and all the vegetables were preliminarily processed, washed and selected, and sold well. quick.After selling the vegetables, he turned to Li Dongsheng again, and conveyed Li Changfu's words, "As long as they are not morally corrupt, parents will forgive them." This sentence was conveyed to him.

Li Dongsheng was moved and happy again, and took his wife and brothers Tingshuang back to the village.

After entering the village, Ting Shuang first carried the meat to Li Changfu's house alone.Said: "Found the parents of the child, and they want me to thank you with the meat."

"What are you thankful for for such a trivial matter?" Aunt Li was a little embarrassed.

Now that the child's parents have come, they naturally have to return the child. After spending a day and a night with the child, the old couple are a little reluctant, especially since the baby looks like his son when he was a child.

"Come in." Ting Shuang yelled out of the courtyard, letting Li Dongsheng, who was hiding outside the courtyard gate, come in.

When the two of them came in, Li Changfu was also stunned, and quickly understood what was going on, and kept his face sullen and silent.

Li Dongsheng hurriedly pulled his wife to kneel down: "Father, mother, the son has come back to honor the two elders."

Aunt Li also realized that she was holding her grandson in her arms. No matter how angry she was, she couldn't bear to throw away her grandson. Besides, she really missed her son so much these two years.

Ting Shuang hurriedly beat the side drum and said, "Brother Li, you are really lucky. I don't even think I can honor my parents, but you have the opportunity to be with them. As long as the family is reunited, there is nothing more important than here."

Li Changfu's complexion changed a few times, thinking about what he said yesterday, "As long as the children are not morally corrupt, parents will forgive them." I think this young man has never done a single unkind thing, the only thing that is not good It's a marriage without the consent of the parents, but now the marriage is also married and the baby is born, so what's the point of being angry?What's more important than being together as a family?

Thinking of this, I could only sigh and said, "Don't say anything. Let's have dinner together."

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Li Changfu knew that Ting Shuang had put a lot of thought into his family's affairs, so he asked him to have dinner with him. Ting Shuang wanted to discuss something with him, so he stayed.

Soon, a sumptuous dinner was served, a pot of stewed vegetables, this is the most common and affordable food that farmers use to treat guests, a large piece of streaky fat meat is shiny and red, and the translucent vermicelli absorbs enough oil and meat aroma , delicious and strong, with eggplant braised together, delicious and filling.There is also a plate of scallions and eggs, served with steamed buns, and eating it with a sigh of relief makes people call it "dejin".

After dinner, Ting Shuang told Li Changfu about himself. He planned to reclaim the [-]-acre wasteland under the hillside.

Li Changfu disagreed, saying that the barren land was low-lying and would be easily flooded when it rained, so there would not be many crops, so why would it be open?Not enough effort.

Ting Shuang has his own opinion: "That land can grow rice. In fact, many lands in the village can grow rice. I plan to plant rice on my land after the wheat harvest. There will be two crops a year, and the income will be better than wheat."

His idea is that all the rice-growing land in the village can be planted with rice, and he will be confident when he has a large harvest, which is more advantageous than when his family sells rice and negotiates the price.But Li Changfu did not dare to do this mobilization work. According to the rules passed down from his ancestors, after harvesting the wheat, he quickly replanted corn, beans, radishes, sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains.

Ting Shuang was a little disappointed, and she couldn't blame these farmers for not taking an important step forward. It was really not easy to plan food in the field, and it was related to whether the whole family could eat or not. Since it has been passed down, it is of course a safe way to plan food. If there is a new trick, if there is no harvest, the whole family will starve to death. This risk cannot be taken seriously.

Ting Shuang knows that this risk is actually very small, and has seen such precedents in books and on TV. Planting things must be tailored to local conditions, but also to seasonal conditions. You can't follow the trend or stick to the old rules, but these are just words. If you say no, you have to make a show, and he will take care of the head.But where did the initial start-up funds come from?Buying rice seeds and farm tools cost money for everything.

Li Changfu advised him: "Work hard and work hard, there will always be a bowl of rice to eat, don't keep thinking about messy things."

Li Dongsheng couldn't help but said: "I know a person from the grain store in the city. He has been to our village and said that our village is still suitable for rice cultivation."

"Nonsense." Li Dongsheng reprimanded him, "If one fails, the whole family will starve. It's better to be quiet and not do risky things."

Li Dongsheng didn't dare to speak anymore, and raised his eyebrows at Ting Shuang, meaning "Brother, I support you."

Ting Shuang said goodbye and went home. Li Dongsheng sent him to the door and said, "If you really make up your mind, I'll ask my friend in the grain store where the rice seeds are good."

Time waited for no one, Ting Shuang planned to start immediately after the wheat harvest, and followed Li Dongsheng to the largest grain store in the city, Dafeng Grain Store, to find acquaintances the next day.The man's surname was Zhang Xingwu, and Ting Shuang followed Li Dongsheng to call him Brother Zhang Wu, and asked him for advice on rice seeds.

Brother Zhang Wu is very righteous, saying that the seeds of Yuanyang are the best, and the rice produced is also delicious.It happened that he was going there to buy food, so he could bring some.

Ting Shuang often saw news on TV that farmers bought fake and inferior seeds, and a year's hard work was wasted. If they couldn't buy them well, they would be ruined.He glanced at Li Dongsheng worriedly.

Li Dongsheng knew what he was thinking, and reminded Zhang Wu: "Brother Zhang Wu, my brother has thrown all the books in, you have to pay attention to it."

Brother Zhang Wu patted his chest: "Don't worry, I have more food than you have eaten, and I can still miss it. But do you have any money for growing food?"

"I'll find a way to get it together, and I'll send it to you tomorrow morning." Ting Shuang spoke first, but he was also in a dilemma about money.

Leaving Fengji Grain Store, Li Dongsheng asked him, "Where do you collect the money to buy grain seeds?"

Ting Shuang had already figured out a plan, and said, "I want the third child to pay a few months' wages in advance, and then pawn the few pieces of jewelry left by my mother."

"How can you sell what your mother left?" Li Dongsheng said disapprovingly, "I have a few taels of silver in my hand, let me lend you first."

"This one……"

"Don't worry about that, I don't have much money to spend."

Ting Shuang was very moved, these ordinary people are really generous, and they must thank him well when they have money in the future.

Before going home, I went to see Tingke at the Shijia cloth shop, and saw that he was wearing a very crisp linen gown.The clerk at the front desk of the cloth store supports the appearance, so he chooses the one that looks good as a clothes rack.Ting Ke was originally handsome and tall, and he looked like a moving advertising model at that station, and he attracted the attention of customers invisibly.

Some customers directly said: "Take a few feet according to the material on his body."

Ting Shuang felt relieved after seeing it, pulled Ting Ke aside, and muttered a few words about the salary advance.

Ting Ke felt that it was a bit difficult to talk about it. It was a little awkward for him to pay half a year's wages in advance for less than half a month after he started working here, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Hearing what he said about his visit, Shi Jie took a sip of the hookah and said, "Go and ask your elder brother to talk."

Ting Ke hurriedly called Ting Shuang into the courtyard.

Shi Jie asked him: "May I ask, what difficulties does your family have, and what do you need money for?"

Ting Shuang talked about her plan, and wanted to seize the time to open up wasteland for rice after the wheat harvest.

Shi Jie asked again: "Xiao Ke paid half a year's wages in advance a few days after he started work. There is no such precedent in the store. Besides, land reclamation costs a lot of money. Even if you pay half a year's wages in advance, it's only more than ten yuan, and it's not enough to do anything. You Why not borrow from the bank?"

Ting Shuang smiled wryly, the bank is not something that anyone can lend money to if they need it.

Shi Jie knew his embarrassment, and said again: "Are you worried about the guarantee? If I guarantee you, you will win."

"What?" Ting Shuang couldn't believe her ears. First, he said that there was no precedent for a guy who had only been working for a few days to advance wages. Banks borrow money.

Ting Ke was also surprised and delighted and couldn't believe it.

"Yutong Bank has frequent contacts with my shop, and they are regular customers. He will lend it to you, don't worry."

"But... are you assured of me?" Ting Shuang was a little uneasy. He had also heard that debtors ran away, and guarantors were chased to bankruptcy.Therefore, some shops will directly put up a red note saying "no guarantee", will Mr. Shi provide guarantee for their people who have no family background?
