Farmhouse Chronicle [Farming]

Chapter 21

When Yang Tong went home, although someone did the housework, he lost a large amount of income every month. Thinking of the money Yang Tianlin took home every time, Wang Ying yelled at Yang Tianlin to go up the mountain all day long. To be able to bring back dozens of copper coins is not enough in this month.

Yang Tianlin was very positive about this matter, he also wanted to go to the town, and he agreed to buy things for Mantou, but he went to the town for a few days, but he never met Mantou again, not even Mantou's father. met.Yang Tianlin knew that Mantou's house belonged to Wanjiaba, but he didn't know if he was suitable to go there. After all, he was a poor boy. It wouldn't pay to have a vicious dog bite him.

Not being able to meet the person he wanted to see, Yang Tianlin was not happy to go out early every day and walk such a long way to Yangshu Town, so he told himself that he couldn't find any herbs for sale, so he didn't go to the town up.

Yang Tong naturally knew that it was not so easy to find the valuable medicinal herbs, so he didn't force Yang Tianlin to go to the field with him.Yang Tong didn't care, but Wang Ying cared a lot. Before, Yang Tong would bring his wages home every month, and Yang Tianlin could occasionally add something to the family, but recently the fixed monthly income was gone, and Yang Tianlin was also without a penny. To the family, how could she stand it!If the house can only come in and out, what will happen to her son Shu Xiu?

Yang Tong and Wang Ying didn't dare to do anything to him, but Yang Tianlin was different. Yang Tianlin couldn't stand being beaten and scolded for no reason every day even if he was full. He was going to go to town, at least When I went there, I had the opportunity to see steamed buns and buy delicious food.

After thinking about it, Yang Tianlin went to Yangshu Town again. This time he still didn't meet Mantou, but when he came back, he learned that Wanjiaba was going to repair the dam. It's early winter and the river has receded. When the river rises in the spring of the next year, it will not be able to flood the crops on both sides of the embankment.

Building embankments is a matter for the government, but this time it is different. The government cannot build embankments for a village, and this year it only flooded a little crop. Maybe next year the river will not be as strong as this year, so there is no need to build it.The government doesn't care, the people in Wanjiaba can only come by themselves, but since the fertile land on the other side of Wanjiaba belongs to Wanjia, the embankment on the opposite side will naturally be built by Wanjia's own money and relatives, and the other side is the whole village. It's people's business.

To repair the embankment, it is natural to hire people. The people in Wanjiaba have to take care of themselves, and on the other hand, they have to hire people from other villages. Yang Tianlin will be 11 years old soon, and he can be regarded as half of the labor force, but He was not tall, and he didn't look like he was ten years old. He went to Wanjia to sign up, but the person refused to let him in, saying that he was just a child.

"Uncle, you can just keep me. I'm not young, I'll be eleven soon, and I don't need my adult's salary, just give me half of it." If you can come here, you don't have to walk so much every day If you go to the town on a long way, you don't have to be stared at and beaten at home. It would be great if you can stay and work.

"Eleven? How can you lie to me, you kid? I don't think you're even ten years old, are you?"

"Uncle, I'm almost eleven, I won't lie to you! Uncle, you can leave me alone, or I will be beaten when I go home. If I don't sell medicine to make money for my family every day, I will be beaten, but there are no medicinal materials in the mountains now. , I can't find the medicinal materials, I don't want to be beaten every day, it's very..."

"Uncle Lin Zi, let him stay." Mantou held a four or five-year-old child by the hand. He was out to look for wheat, but he didn't expect to see the skinny monkey... um, no, it should be called Lin now. elder brother.

"Brother Lin, why are you here?"

"Mantou, do you know this kid?"

"Yes, I know. Uncle Lin Zi, come here." Mantou is not as tall as Lin Zi, so after calling the man over, he pulls the man to lower his body and put his mouth close to the man's ear.

Yang Tianlin didn't know what Mantou said, in short, he could stay and work, and he still received the adult's wages.Knowing that Mantou must have helped him, Yang Tianlin just smiled at the person and buried his head, Mantou helped him again, how can I thank him?

Mantou actually heard what Yang Tianlin said. He only knew that Yang Tianlin was the poor child that his father said, but he didn't know that it would be so miserable. His parents really went too far!

After leaving him behind, Mantou sent his two younger brothers to find Maizi, and he himself took Yang Tianlin to sit on the big rock by the river, and then opened the small cloth bag he carried with him, one after another. He took out a lot of things, and stuffed them into Yang Tianlin's hands.

"Eat it, it's delicious." These are the snacks he brought for his two younger brothers and himself. Although they gave them all, it doesn't matter, they will have them when they go back.

"Thank you, Mantou." Yang Tianlin was eating, but he was thinking of another question. He was coming to help tomorrow, so when would he go to town to buy things for Mantou?

"Mantou, can I come back the day after tomorrow?" Mantou's words seemed to be very useful. The uncle didn't listen to him just now, but Mantou's words worked.

Yang Tianlin only knew that Wanjiaba was recruiting workers when he passed by Wanjiaba, so he didn't know that this was actually Wanjia's recruiting, and that Mantou was the young master of Wanjia, or the young master who was known to inherit the family business, so naturally he said If so, it will work just like his father.

"Okay, but... Brother Lin, you are disobedient. You have hurt your hand again. Why haven't you taken any medicine yet?" The wound on your hand was obviously a new wound, but no medicine had been given to it at all. Mark of!

Seeing Mantou's wrinkled chubby face, Yang Tianlin didn't know how to explain it. Could it be that he was reluctant to use the medicine given by Mantou?His injury was only a minor injury, and he will be fine in a few days.But the medicine given by the mantou is gone, so I can keep it with me all the time. When I am alone at night, when I miss my mother and my father when I was a child, I can take it out and have a look. I can let myself know that my mother is gone. It’s okay if Dad doesn’t love me, because there are still people who treat me well.

After Yang Tianlin went home and told his family that he was going to work in Wanjiaba, the family naturally agreed. Originally Wang Ying wanted Yang Tong to go, but when Yang Tong heard that it was Wanjiaba, he refused to go. Wang Ying herself grew up in Yangjia Village, and she knew a little about the Yang family. She knew that Yang Tong was jealous of Yang Sheng who was in the Wan family, so she didn't insist. good.

The family agreed, and Yang Tianlin went out early the next day. He went to the town first, but he didn't know what to buy after wandering around the town for a long time. I went to the pastry shop that was said to be the best, bought the most expensive pastry in it, and then thought about something suitable for a kid, and bought a hairband with patterns embroidered with silver thread.

After buying the things, Yang Tianlin was a little surprised. The cakes were much more expensive than what he usually bought, and the hair tie was more expensive. It cost two silver coins. He usually tied his hair directly with a cloth tie. I didn't expect those beautiful headbands to be so expensive, and the little brother's is even more expensive, but the steamed bun is a kid, so I don't need too fancy ones, so the price is much cheaper.

Although Yang Tianlin was surprised that those things were so expensive, he didn't hesitate at all when he bought them. Instead, what he thought in his heart was that he didn't know if the steamed buns would be liked.

Wanjiaba in Yangjia Village is just a mountain village in Dayan. Apart from ordinary men and women in Dayan, there is also a kind of person called brother, who can marry or marry a wife and have children.Generally, the younger brothers who marry wives and have children are those who have no children in their families or who are wealthy and willing to marry their younger brothers. Generally, the younger brothers in the family need to get married.The appearance of the little brother is the same as that of ordinary men, except that the hairstyle and hair accessories are slightly different, and there will be an extra tire pattern on the body when he was born. The tire pattern usually grows above the waist and below the neck, so if the general little brother dresses up as a boy, others will It's impossible to tell his identity.

Yang Tianlin only thought that Mantou was a kid, and wanted to buy the best things for Mantou, so the places he went to inquired were the places visited by rich and powerful people in the town, and the things in those shops were naturally expensive, two yuan Silver can be used to make several sets of clothes in ordinary people, but it is just a boy's hairband in rich people.
