The Pastoral Residence of the Down and Out Young Master

All households are happy on the day of Chinese New Year. Zhao Tian took his two children to pay New Year's greetings to the elders after finishing his family affairs.

Mo Ji thought it was cold outside and was reluctant to go out, because Zhao Tian forced him out, so he kept his mouth shut all the way.Anyone who sees it will ask what's the matter, which makes Zhao Tian very embarrassed.

When he got to a place where no one was around, Zhao Tian pulled the ink to his side and said, "Don't go home if you play like this again, stay outside."

Moji was a little frightened by what he said, so he smiled wryly when he saw the person, Zhao Tian looked at him as funny and ignored him.

After paying homage to the living, you have to worship the dead. When they arrived at the graves of Zhao Tian's father and father, Moji thought of his relatives. The ancestral grave of the Mo family was in the suburbs of Beijing. I don't know what's going on, Mo Mo is also an orphan, and he can't comfort him at the moment, the atmosphere among the three inevitably becomes heavy again.

After returning home, Zhao Tian called Mo Ji and Mo Mo to his side and said, "You are one year older again, and I will try my best to discuss some things with you in the future. You know the situation at home now, and I want to raise some children next year. Livestock, sell them in the city to earn some money."

Mo thinks this is a good idea. During the Chinese New Year, a rooster was slaughtered, and now there are only four chickens in the family. If there are more chickens, it should be able to take care of it.

"But what should we raise? Although chickens are easier to raise, they are not rare, and they are not easy to sell."

Zhao Tian said, "That's easy to say. After a while, I will go to the mountain to catch a few rabbits. Rabbits breed fast. It's good to have a side job. Then I can buy a few lambs at the market. It's probably enough. busy."

Moji was quite happy when he heard about raising rabbits, but he was not happy when he heard about buying sheep, "I won't go to herd sheep!"

Zhao Tian thought it was funny, "But you are so beautiful, you still want to herd sheep! Then there will be plenty of work for you to do."

As spring was said to come, Zhao Tian really went to the mountains to catch a few little rabbits, two females and one male.

At the beginning, Moji still found it interesting, but after a long time, he lost interest, and the work of taking care of the rabbits fell on Moji.Fortunately, the chickens in Moji were still raising well, so Zhao Tian didn't say anything.

Ever since the chickens were raised at home, the eggs on the dinner table have never been broken, and as much ink as there is, Zhao Tian didn't say anything when he watched them grow.

But now the situation has changed, Zhao Tian intends to let the hen hug the nest, "We have to raise a few more chickens anyway, the eggs should stay in the chicken nest first, and eat after hugging the nest."

When he heard that he was still raising chickens, Mo Ji was not happy, "How many more do I have to raise? Now I am a bit too busy."

In fact, Moji is not really busy, but just has fun.

"I have to raise fifty or sixty more, otherwise these few will not be enough to sell."

Fifty or sixty chickens can scare Moji enough, so how many weeds do we have to pull every day?He still has to spend the day on chickens.

"I can't, I'm so busy!"

Zhao Tian said, "I'm too busy now, but I also ordered two lambs, and that's also your job. In the future, Mo will raise rabbits, cook and clean up the house, and you will feed chickens and sheep."

Seeing that Moji couldn't evade it, he had to agree. Fortunately, Moji helped to pull the weeds, and Zhao Tian also helped, otherwise he didn't know what to do.

The spring harvest of this year is really busy. There are a lot of food at home and a piece of land waiting to be harvested. The three of them can hardly sleep through the night, get up before dawn, cook with ink, and ink Feed the chicken, Zhao Tian fed the rabbit, and after dinner, the three led the sheep to the field.When the people were working, the sheep were tied to the nearby tree stumps to graze. Although they were a little tired, they were full of energy, and even the ink stains were more diligent.

The chicks have hatched these few days, Zhao Tian intends to save some eggs for everyone to supplement, and let the hens continue to nest after a while, but Mo Ji disagrees.

Moji is also tired from working these days and knows that money is not easy to come by. "One less egg can raise one more chicken, and ten old hens can be sold for one tael of silver. Let's stop eating eggs."

Zhao Tian sounded interesting, "When will you understand this, and know how to plan to live."

"I'm not a fool, so I have to only know how to eat, drink and have fun?" Look at what Zhao Tian said.

"It's me who underestimated you. You are really sensible when you are one year older, but you should make up for it because you are too tired these days. It is not worth it if you lose your body." Zhao Tian patted Moji's shoulder after speaking.

Mo Ji dusted his clothes with his hands, "What are you taking pictures of?"

Mo Mo hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Although I've been very tired every day for a while, the days are getting better and better. This year's wheat harvest is good, and if I take care of other things, food and clothing will be no problem."

Zhao Tian was happy to see Mo Mo being sensible, and echoed, "This wheat can be sold for a small 40 taels of silver this year, and with the livestock raised, it is more than food and clothing."

Moji knew that ten old hens were worth a tael of silver, and he learned it from people’s nonsense. He didn’t understand how much this wheat could be sold for, and he didn’t understand how much it would cost in a year. He was a little confused now, so he asked, "You mean that according to our current situation, we can have enough food and clothing, right?"

"Yeah, if you work hard, we can still have some leftovers, and finally we can get rid of spending money. How about it, do you work hard?"

Mo Ji curled his lips, "Whatever you say, it's like I'm pulling everyone's hind legs."

Zhao Tian saw that he was really serious about his work these few days, so of course he wanted to encourage him again, "You have made the most progress these days, how can you be a hindrance."

Moji was praised by Zhao Tian, ​​and he was in high spirits all day long, and when he lay on the bed at night, he no longer had a sore waist and legs, so he insisted on chatting with Zhao Tian, ​​"You know, before my father was worried that I wouldn't be able to grow up?" Independent, if he knows that I am so capable now, he will be very happy."

"Well, when I have saved enough money, I will take you and Mo Mo back to the Imperial Capital to pay homage to your parents."

"No need, it's not easy to earn money. Besides, my father and father said that they will live a good life there, and they will dream about things."

Zhao Tian was a little curious and asked, "Did your parents entrust you with dreams?"

"My father is very capable. He doesn't need me. He also said that everything will be taken care of before I go there. I don't need to suffer any hardships."

Zhao Tian deliberately teased him, "Then your parents didn't say why they didn't take you there now?"

"Daddy said that I can only go to them when I'm old, and let me live well here. He said that if I go early, I may not be able to go to their place."

Zhao Tian looked at the ink marks happily talking about this side and the other side, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked, and said, "I'm still busy tomorrow, so go to bed early."

Moji was indeed a little tired, so he stopped talking and fell asleep obediently.
