One autumn rain and one cold, since it rained that day, it has rained several times in succession.Cabbage and radishes in the vegetable field are vying to grow wildly one by one. Seeing that they are covered with frost, if they are not recycled, they will be frozen.

They were all farmers' children's private school for five days in a row. Having two children to help made Lin Li feel a lot easier.An acre is not too big or small, and the rain that just fell two days ago has not completely dried out.

Two younger brothers were sent by him to pull radishes, and he cut cabbage by himself.The cabbages were all tied with ropes before, probably because of the rain, each cabbage was almost as high as his calf, and the roots were much thicker than what he had seen before, so it didn't take much effort to cut them.

In one morning, the cabbage he cut was less than half an acre of land, and the two children had already pulled out one acre of radishes.Picking up the radishes and cabbages scattered in the ground and putting them on the ridge of the ground, Lin Li went to the third uncle's house to borrow an ox cart.The third uncle's family has planted several acres and is still busy harvesting vegetables, and he didn't say much and waved his hand to let him take the cattle away.

It took several trips to get all of them back. Seeing the piles of radishes and cabbages in the yard, he couldn't help but worry. He had eaten cabbages and radishes for many days and would eat them for several months. Isn't this killing people?

It would be great if there were chili peppers, and I could pickle some spicy cabbage. When I think of spicy cabbage, my mouth will not stop pantothenic acid. "I don't know if that ignorant peddler Ah Xian has come back?" Since he specializes in strange things, maybe there are peppers?

"I should be back. I come back around this time of winter every year."

After Tianshou had eaten, Lin Li went to the ground again after teasing him for a while.There was only more than half an acre of land left, and he could finish it all by himself, so he let his two younger brothers rest at home.

Not long after arriving, Lin Zhi followed. "Brother, let me help you. I accepted this last year." He remembered that Lin Zhi's birthday was in February, and the child who was almost nine years old was almost as tall as him in a few months, so why didn't he grow taller.

Originally, he wanted to demonstrate that Lin Zhi might not be able to do a good job, but he didn't expect Lin Zhi to swipe with a sickle, and all the cabbages fell down in rows.Could it be that Lin Zhi's sickle is faster than him?It took him several cuts to get one off.

"Brother, hold on tight with your left hand, and chop hard with your right hand to see if it's much faster." Lin Li tried twice, although he couldn't do one cut like Lin Zhi, but he could cut one in two.I really didn't expect to be so knowledgeable when chopping a dish.But compared with his previous grinding of vegetables, he had to swing his arms harder. Why did Lin Zhi use so much energy when he was still a child when he ate the same meal.

It seems that jogging in the morning is not enough, we still need to increase the amount of activity, when will he have a strong body.

After a while, all the vegetables on half an acre of land were chopped off, and the roots would not rot in the soil. They had to be dug out with a hoe and thrown directly into the ground, so that the land could be fertilized in the coming year.

He brought back some radish leaves on the side. He didn't know if the sheep would eat them, but he thought they were better than those withered grass.If the leaves were not too old, he would have wanted to fry them and eat them. He hadn't eaten green leafy vegetables for a long time.

The cellar in the house is very large and the four walls are made of unknown materials. The whole space is very dry.The cabbage was stacked neatly, part of the radish was placed in the cellar, and the rest were buried in a large pit next to the yard, so that it would not be damaged by freezing and would not lose any moisture.

The third uncle's family has been helping his family since he came, and he went to the third uncle's land early the next morning to help out.

"Lizi, I don't have much, and you and Dongzi will finish it in a while. You have a lot of family work to do first!" The third uncle said while pushing him to the ridge.Harvesting vegetables is the easiest way to do farm work every year, not to mention his family's five acres of land can be harvested in a few more acres in two days.

"Third Uncle, my family finished harvesting yesterday, so it doesn't take much effort for me to pull out the radishes for you." I really asked him to chop cabbage, but he still couldn't cut it, and his right arm was sore from wrist to wrist.

Uncle San and Lin Dong finished chopping the cabbage yesterday and left two acres of radishes. The three big men finished the work in less than a morning.It's just how they work, it's no wonder that one can make the other two unhappy.

The third uncle wanted to keep him for dinner, he was ashamed, so he quickly shied away and went back.He knew earlier that it would be better not to come for this little work.After returning home, I found that not only my arms were hurting but also my waist was very sore. Looking at Lin Zhi and Lin Nan who were still active and seemed to be fine, the child recovered quickly.

Obviously his body is also very young, why is it like seventy or eighty.

In the afternoon, the children were finally free and were driven out by Lin Li to play. During this time, they were too busy to have a good chat.

"Brother Xianggong Lin will be fourteen after the new year, should I invite a matchmaker to look at him first?" Without elders, these things can only be handled by him as a brother.

"It's too early." Lin Lin's birthday will be in August next year. In his eyes, it is a bit unacceptable for him to say kiss in a blink of an eye when he is still a child.What's more, he is his own younger brother, and he usually gets along the most, and now he feels like marrying a daughter.

"It's not too early. I haven't found a good family at the age of 15, and I will be laughed at by others in the future. At least make an appointment two years later before marrying others, so I won't gossip." Like he didn't get married until he was [-] years old because of the difference in looks. , until now it is a joke in the village.When I came to Linjiacun, I met other brothers by chance, and they all looked contemptuous.Thinking of the hardships of life in the past two years, luckily my husband came.

Lin Li really felt that his younger brother was too young, but this society is like this. He is not a ruler and cannot change the law.Sighing, "It's better to talk to Linlin first to be mentally prepared. You can figure out how to deal with these things."

"Where is your husband getting married very late?" Li Xian couldn't help being curious about Lin Li's helpless tone. "The legal marriage age in our country is 22 for men and 27 for women. And the country advocates late marriage, and most people don't get married until they are 26 or [-]. I was [-] there and didn't start looking for a partner."

The men and women had heard from Lin Li before that he couldn't imagine getting married at 27.But what made him most happy was that Lin Li hadn't even looked for someone to marry, so he was the only one.

"The main reason is that our side is much more advanced than this side. The doctor discovered that the human body is not fully developed until now, and giving birth before is not good for the body." I don't know that the human body structure of the two sides is different, but it is my beloved brother. Very reluctant to let others spoil it.Before he started talking to Lin Lin, Lin Li felt as if his younger brother was about to fall into the fire pit. Could this be the feeling of his father marrying his daughter.

"Then let's make an appointment first, and we'll get married two or three years later, but in this case, the dowry needs to be generous. Also, brother Lin is getting older, so he still needs to buy some rouge and gouache, and we need to give him the most popular designs at the moment." I'm ready. Besides, I want to give money to Brother Qian Lin." He said that the two of them hadn't started preparing the dowry yet, so they had to ask their elders about it.He really ignored what Li Xian said, he still regarded his younger brother as a man, and now thinking about the dark-colored cloth he bought, he doesn't know how much Linlin should mind.

"Axian, you are right. I ignored it before. In the future, Linlin still needs to ask you to worry about it. If there is something I can't worry about, you should remind me, and do you also like to spend some flowers? I don't know." I did it according to my own ideas." Although it must be embarrassing for Ah Xian to wear bright colors, maybe he likes it.

"I like the color you bought for me. I can't wear those gorgeous clothes. Brother Lin must look good if he looks good." Lin Lin is usually close to him, and is busy with him all day long, without saying goodbye The only thing he likes is the face similar to that of his husband.

Lin Li already had an idea in his heart, but the most important thing was money, "Ah Xian, how much money does our family have?"

"Not counting the gift money from last time, there are still 70 taels of silver and 630 taels of big money." After staying here for a long time, 30 taels is not a small amount, and I don't see how I can spend this much.He didn't even think about it, not to mention meat, he ate it every day, plus white flour and rice from time to time, these things add up to a lot.

"My husband, we should be more frugal. It's only been more than two months and we spent 30 taels of silver." Li Xian had long wanted to persuade him that such a way of eating would make landlords suffer poorly.

"Ah Xian, don't think that I will make so much money." There are business opportunities everywhere, not to mention the olive oil that is making money.He had already thought about making some dried radishes and pickled cabbage during this period of time. He didn't plan to sell these two items, but directly supplied them to Wei Zhengyu's restaurant and inn.

I asked Li Xian's family for the radish and cabbage, besides eating and paying taxes, there is a little more than half of the amount.He doesn't know how much modern land can produce. The two mu of land he planted probably produced three thousand catties of radishes and eight thousand catties of cabbage.One Chinese cabbage weighs about ten catties, like their family gets one for every extra meal.

He has seen his colleagues in Sichuan make cabbage, although it may not be so authentic.But in the season of mussels, such a sour and fragrant taste must be a hot seller.Dried radishes are different. One catty of radishes can produce at most two or three taels of dried radish, and the few hundred catties at home are not enough for him to toss about.

I have to ask my third uncle's family for help in this matter.After lunch, he went straight to the third uncle's yard. The cabbage and radishes in the yard hadn't been cleaned up yet, and there was only a small path in the middle of the yard leading to the house.

"Is Third Uncle there?" Lin Li couldn't see what was going on inside the room, so he could only change outside. "Brother Lizi, our family is eating. Have you eaten, do you want to eat more?"

There are no outsiders in the family, so he directly explained his intentions. "Lizi, why do you want so many radishes and cabbages? Don't you grow enough to eat?" Don't blame the third uncle for not understanding. Don't look at him planting so many. In previous years, the market price of radish was only one penny for three catties, and five catties of cabbage was one penny.Those who buy vegetables in the town are still picky and picky, and there are even a lot of vegetables left that cannot be sold out.

"Third Uncle, I want to make some special food and sell it in the town. There are too few left in my family. And if Uncle and Brother are okay, I would like to ask them to help me for a few days, and I will pay you fifty cents a day. .” The wages are still based on the masonry workers in the workshop, and he doesn’t know what the market is like.

"You kid, don't you just help for a few days, what's the salary?" The third uncle immediately disagreed, and even Brother Min echoed him.

"Third uncle, it's really hard work to do these few days. Let's do it first. If it's not enough, I'll hire other people. Naturally, the wages have to be calculated."

The third uncle still disagrees, others say that Lizi has climbed into a rich family.But they were so close to Lin Li's house, and they hadn't seen him go to work very often.How much money can there be? How can the money of rich and noble families be so easy to earn?

"Since Lizi is like this, you can give us [-] Wen. A strong man may not be able to earn [-] Wen a day. If this matter spreads, you should not be taken advantage of." There is nothing to do, unless there is a pair of skillful hands selling embroidery work, otherwise there is no place for these brothers to work.

Lin Li originally thought that he was taking advantage of it, but originally he felt that fifty pennies was a bit small.Thinking about what he has to do, not to mention washing and pickling, just cutting radishes is very tiring.

But the third uncle firmly disagreed. In the end, Lin Li could say that it counted as thirty cents a day.
