Farmhouse Chronicle [Farming]

Chapter 22

If the workers Wan's family is looking for are from other villages, they will also be provided with a day's food. There is a temporary residence for the workers on the river dam, and Yang Tianlin can just live there if he doesn't want to go home.

The most important material for building dams is river rocks and sand. There are many of these dams, and there is no need to look for them. The dams Wanjia wants to build are about [-] meters long and over [-] days high.

Yang Tianlin is a half-child, and the work assigned to him by the workers is also simple. At least Yang Tianlin thinks it is much easier than the work at home. He just repeatedly carries sand and stones back and forth between the river dam and the dam that needs to be built.

"Little boy, where is your family? Why did your parents let you come out to work with such a young child?" The man was curious and surprised, although the children of the farmhouse were not so particular about their skin, they worked since they were young. But that is also to help the family with some simple farm work. If you want to work like beating people, you have to be at least fourteen or five years old. This kid doesn't look like he is even ten years old.

"Master, my family is poor." Yang Tianlin went back and forth with this uncle a few times, and found that beating everyone is good, and sometimes he would help drag his back basket when he was struggling, but no matter how nice others were, he still couldn't say something.

"Oh, the children of poor families have already taken charge of the family!"

Hearing the old man's exclamation, Yang Tianlin just smiled at others. Isn't it very difficult for the old man to come out to work at such an age, and maybe the old man is even harder than him, because he is still young. Zhang Da, gradually no one can bully him, but the uncle is getting older and older, if his family members and his son are like his father, if he is old and leave him alone, then he will be pitiful up.

Yang Tianlin thought of that uncle so much, naturally because he thought of his grandfather's situation at home. Although the person he loves the most is not him, but after all, he is the only person in the family who treats him well. Can't wait until he grows up, pick him up and live with him.

Thinking about the troubles at home, Yang Tianlin thought more and more, now the family members dislike him more and more, and his life at home is getting more and more difficult, but he is still too young, no one is willing to hire him to work, Now this part-time job is only because of the steamed buns, but I have to go home after finishing here, what should I do then?

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin..."

Is it the sound of steamed buns?

"Mantou, why are you here?" Although it's early winter, the river is windy, so he doesn't feel bad about working, but if he doesn't dare to be here, the river wind will still be very cold on his body.

"Working?" Mantou pulled the strap on his shoulder, and Yang Tianlin saw that Mantou was carrying a small basket on his back. The basket was made of thin bamboo and looked half old. Could it be that Mantou also worked?

"Brother Lin, this is my brother Maizi, let's go together." Behind Mantou was a boy who was much taller than him. The boy's skin...was quite dark, but he looked very energetic. .

"You are that Linzi, you look like Father Mantou." Maizi is usually Mantou's follower, so he naturally knows a lot about Mantou, Yang Tianlin's matter, Mantou told Maizi earlier in the morning, Mantou's He knows his temper, he always acts like an old man, and he doesn't want to deal with many children in the village, so long ago he was only so good to this Linzi?

Now that the two have met, Maizi knows that this baby looks so similar to my aunt, no wonder Mantou likes him.

"Huh?" Yang Tianlin glanced at Maizi again, and his father, who looked like a steamed bun, looked at it again. Yang Tianlin didn't think about anything else, but suddenly realized that Maizi was not that dark, but he was always standing on top of the steamed bun. He is next to him, so he looks darker, but in fact his skin is only a little darker compared to the people around him.

"Yeah, brother Lin, you are similar to my father, and my father also said that day." As if to prove Maizi's words, Mantou quickly agreed, and also said that his father thought so too.

I'm quite happy about this Yang Tianlin, it's good to be like Father Mantou, Mantou will like him even more.

Although Yang Tianlin came to do the work, but with the participation of Mantou and Maizi, those people couldn't force Yang Tianlin to do anything. The three children carried a little sand and gravel in their back baskets, and they stopped and went, taking a trip to Yang Tianlin I had to go two or three times before.

"Mantou, why are you picking up these stones?" They can't be eaten or used, so why are you picking them up?The reason why they wasted time was mostly because Mantou had to pick up stones. He would pick up some strangely shaped or nicely colored stones when he saw them, so their speed would naturally slow down.

"It's beautiful, and my father likes it too, and my father often picks it up for my father."

Well, some are really pretty, but what's the use of being pretty?Can't eat again, but...

"Mantou, do you like it?"

"I like it~"

"Yeah." Mantou also likes it.

Yang Tianlin didn't think so much when he bought things for the steamed buns, but when he came back, he realized that he shouldn't have bought pastries, and there were a lot of them hidden. As expected, he was taken away as soon as he came here, but the good thing is that He wears a hair belt close to his body.

After the day is over, Mantou is going back. He played on the river dam for a long time today, and now he is going home.

"Brother Lin, I'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay." At the end of the day, Mantou's clothes were dirty a lot, and his face was also stained. It was the first time he saw some dirty Mantou, and Yang Tianlin was not used to it. Every time he saw the Mantou, it was clean. , I didn't expect to mess up his chubby face today.

After Mantou left, Yang Tianlin also lay down on his bed. He thought that he would have to pay more attention tomorrow to see if he could find the little stone that Mantou liked.

The next day, Mantou came after noon. Looking at the clean Mantou again, Yang Tianlin thought, he can't let Mantou sit on the ground today. His clothes are so clean, why is it dirty or damaged? manage.

When Yang Tianlin was working that day, he kept paying attention to his feet, and he found several small stones for him, and they were all taken back by steamed buns in the afternoon.Yang Tianlin likes the current life very much, although he feels shoulder pain every night, but he is happy, much happier than when he was at home.

The uncle who works here will not bully him, and the uncle Lin Zi who is in charge will not beat and scold him for no reason, and Mantou and Maizi will come to accompany him every day. Today, they accompanied him to the river dam for a while before returning home , when he was in the village, he didn't have any children to accompany him, and even Huzi only talked to him occasionally.

Yang Tianlin had been living like this for more than ten days, but he didn't know that the people in their village brought him a message the next day, his father asked him to go back, there was no reason, he must go back anyway.

"I'm going back today, but the work here hasn't been finished yet?" It was afternoon, and Mantou was going home, but he heard Yang Tianlin say that he was going home too.

"Mantou, Daddy asked me to go back. It must be because of something at home. Mantou, I just picked up another beautiful little stone, look." The previous Yang Tianlin only thought it was okay, but they didn't think it was so beautiful. , but he really likes this one.

The color of this stone is very special, it is close to dark green, and it is also in the shape of a crescent moon. The important thing is that this stone is very small, only half the length of a finger.

"Ah, it's really pretty. It must be very special if it's made into a necklace." Mantou took the small stone in Yang Tianlin's hand, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he even held it on his chest and gestured for it.

Yang Tianlin also felt good about Mantou's gesture. The accessories made of stone are so rare, and the color and shape are beautiful, but it's very difficult to make a necklace.This stone is too small, if you want to drill a hole in it, it will definitely break, and if you go to a silver shop to make a necklace for a stone, people will think you are crazy.

Although a half-finger long and short little finger-thick stone is particularly attractive, it is really difficult to make accessories.Yang Tianlin thought so in his heart, seeing that Mantou really liked it, he began to ponder in his heart, how could he drill a small hole in the rock?

"Mantou, I'll make this small stone into a necklace for you, okay? I'll give it to you when I'm done." The hairband that tied Mantou's hair today was given by Yang Tianlin. Yang Tianlin felt that Mantou was wearing that hairband. It looks great.

As for this little stone, Yang Tianlin already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't know if he could succeed, so he just said so now.

"Okay, brother Lin will give it to you. Remember to give it to me when you're done. You can't give it to others."

"Okay." Since the stone is small, it would be good to use something smaller to make the drill bit.Yang Tianlin had already figured it out, if he wanted to grind a small hole in this thing and put a thin thread on it, he could only wear it slowly with a needle. The needle tip is so thin, it will definitely not damage the stone, but it will take a little more time.
