The Pastoral Residence of the Down and Out Young Master

Zhao Tian hasn't lived a single day since he became a relative. Mo Ji is really not a worry-free master. Although he won't go to the house to demolish the roof tiles, it is still possible to fish in the river, dig holes in the soil, and dig birds in the trees. There is really nothing he dare not do.

In order to teach him a serious lesson, Zhao Tian punished him not to eat for a day, but Moji didn't take his words seriously at all and should eat and drink.

Zhao Tiantian couldn't help but tied his hands up with the rope, and said, "If you don't obey anymore, keep tied like this, and I will loosen it for you when you are honest."

Mo Mo wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't bear his brother's bad face, so he had to persuade his young master, "Master, this is not the old mansion after all, if we continue to play around like this, what can we eat and drink? The family only has two acres of land to support the three of us, but it is tight."

Mo Ji didn't understand these things, he didn't know what two acres of land represented, but he knew what tight Baba meant, so he asked, "Really?"

"How can I lie to the young master? I just heard what Zhao Shitou said. His family is not enough to feed and clothe his family with only one acre of land. It is his father who is doing embroidery to barely make do."

They have been playing well with Shitou these days, so he still believes what Shitou said, maybe he should do something for the family, and he can't just play around just because it is his own house. Food is a big problem, so he decided to go to Zhao Tian to admit it. A mistake, say something nice.

Zhao Tian was tired for a day and went to rest early. He was a little upset when he was woken up by Moji and turned over to ignore him. Moji was bound and had to rub his head against others. Zhao Tian was so annoyed that he had no choice but to do it and said, " What do you want to do again?"

Moji blinked and said, "I know you're bothering me. I've been messing around a bit these days, and I'll definitely restrain myself in the future. I know it's not easy for you to support your family. How about you spare me this time? Let's see how I behave in the future? "

Zhao Tian only thought that the sun was coming out from the west, but he was wrong when he thought about it. This kid didn't take good things seriously at all, and he never did it when he said it.

"How do you plan to behave in the future?"

This is embarrassing for Moji, he really doesn’t know much, but he thought of one thing, Zhao Shitou catches some insects and pulls some wild vegetables every day and goes home to feed the chickens, the chickens will lay eggs in the future, maybe he You can also raise two chicks.

"I'll feed the chicks."

Zhao Tian also began to think about this matter. Now that the population of the family is not as large as before, it is necessary to raise some chickens as an income.

"You do what you say, if you don't look good all day long, I can't spare you."

Mo Ji stuck out his tongue and stretched out his hands in front of Zhao Tian and said, "I see, untie it for me quickly, I will definitely do a good job in the future."

The next day, Zhao Tian asked the neighbors who came to the city to bring three pullets and two roosters, and he went to the mountains to cut some bamboos, cut strips and built a chicken coop in the yard.

Moji was very excited and kept busy, Zhao Tian thought he was making trouble and drove him to watch, Moji was happy and didn't care, he just watched Zhao Tian build the chicken coop, and when the chicken coop was built, Zhao Tian took advantage of it Before it was dark, I went to do some work in the field, and when I left, I specially told Mo Ji to keep an eye on the chickens in the cage.

When it was dark, the people who went to the ground had all gone home, and Mo Ji was still looking at his chick.Zhao Tianke said that the chicken had to be bigger before it could be put in the chicken shed, and now it had to be kept in a cage. He was very happy to add water to the chicken and feed the insects carefully.

When Zhao Tian came home, he saw that he was quite honest, so he went to the kitchen to help Mo Mo cook. This time the expenses were high, and the family was almost unable to open the pot.He didn't plan to touch the ten taels of silver that Moji gave. It was originally intended to be a dowry for the two brothers. Now something happened, but he didn't really plan to spend the rest of his life with Moji. When I grow up, I also regret the appointment.

Mo Mo also knew that his family was poorer, so he said to Zhao Tian, ​​"Brother, why don't we open another mu of land? I heard from the village yesterday that we don't need money to open the land, just pay taxes regularly every year."

"That's a good thing to say, but not to mention the trouble of opening a new land. The grain produced in the past few years is not enough for taxes. If the land is opened, the family will not even have food." After finishing speaking, Zhao Tian continued to stare at the cornmeal in a daze.

"But this is not a solution. If the situation is not good, hunger and food will be a problem, but it is not impossible. I have been to the Zhuangzi below a few times in the mansion before. I heard the housekeeper said that the output is not enough. It's very high, even the newly opened land is good, and the housekeeper would be happy and talk to me, saying that it's good fertilizer, and it's nothing unusual, it's just the excrement accumulated in the house."

Zhao Tian was delighted when he heard this, "I've heard of this method from a passing stranger, but after all, the village depends on a few acres of land for food, and no one dares to try it. Since you mentioned it today, we will use the newly opened one." Try it on the ground, and I will go to the village chief to measure the number of acres tomorrow."

The village chief drew the land boundary, and Zhao Tian began to prepare for the land opening. It was only spring, and the faster it opened, the faster it would be able to catch up with the corn planting.

Zhao Tian put all his heart on the ground, and Moji became an unattended man again, completely turned into a wild child, playing around all day long, but fortunately the chickens were also fed, Zhao Tian didn't care about him, and got busy Just eat lunch in the field, and the ink will be sent there.

At this time, there is no advanced machinery for land development, and the rich gentry use oxen to pull the plow to plow the land. Ordinary farmers like Zhao Tian can only use a hoe to loosen the soil a little bit. It seems that it is almost time for farming. The ground has only been loosened twice, no matter what, he has to loosen it again and then fertilize it. Now he can't wait to grow in the ground.

Zhao Tian came home late that day, and the two children were already asleep. Luckily, there was hot food in the pot.He ate casually, took a shower in the yard, lay down on the bed and fell asleep after a while.

The next day, after Zhao Tian got up, he called Mo Ji and Mo Mo. Time was tight, and it was time for them to help with work.

Now it's not just the newly opened one-acre field, the wheat planted in the two-acre good field is also ripe. Someone in the village has already started harvesting, and his family has to hurry up, otherwise the wheat will dry out and fall to the field. Years can be a waste of time.

Mo Ji and Mo Mo also knew that Zhao Tian was tired every day alone, so they readily agreed to help with the work.

The work Zhao Tian assigned to them was not tiring, just cutting wheat in the field with a sickle.Although the work of two people is not fast enough, it is still much faster than one person.

By the time it was getting dark, they had mowed half an acre of land.Zhao Tian began to push the cart home, leaving only ink stains and ink to work in the field.

As soon as Zhao Tian left, Mo Ji began to complain to Mo Mo, "My arm is sore and my leg hurts badly. I want to rest for a while."

Mo Mo was also tired, but he still said, "Master, I have never done such work before, even I have never been so tired, and I didn't think carefully. You go to the ground and sit for a while, and I will cut it myself."

When Zhao Tian came back and saw Moji resting on the edge of the ground, he didn't say anything, he just told them to go home and prepare dinner, and he pushed the harvested wheat back by himself.
