farming in ancient times

Old man Duan ran to the yard and saw Da Lang sweeping the pigsty.The old man turned his head to look at the two people talking and laughing in the kitchen, scratching his ears anxiously.

Dalang seldom sees his grandfather like this. In his impression, even when his parents died one after another, his grandfather endured his sorrow and taught him and Xiao Er how to deal with their parents' funeral. .

"Grandpa, what's the matter with you, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Da Lang asked strangely.

"No!" the old man whispered, "Da Lang, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that his grandfather was still looking back while talking, Da Lang asked in a low voice, "Does it have something to do with Xiaoer?" The old man nodded.Da Lang said, "Then look back, Xiao Er will go to town later."

Old man Duan became even more anxious when he thought that when Xiao Er went to town, Butcher Gao would definitely follow.When Da Lang saw his grandfather circling anxiously, "Grandpa, don't let Xiao Er see it."

"That's right!" The old man Duan's heart trembled, the little errand was as smart as a ghost, so don't let him see anything.

As soon as Xiaoer and Butcher Gao came out of the gate, old man Duan closed the door with a bang.

Xiao Er glanced back and poked Butcher Gao's arm, "Do you think grandpa is acting weird today?"

"I don't think so." He just felt that the old man was staring at him admirably when he was eating.

Xiao Er's petty eyes were filled with a car, and when Butcher Gao shook his head, he shook his head and walked away.

Seeing his grandfather taking his elder brother's arm to the main room, Xiaoshan thought for a while and followed.The old man Duan didn't drive him out, so he asked, "Do you two feel that there is something wrong with Xiaoer and Butcher Gao?"

"I don't think so." Da Lang shook his head.

"I didn't feel it either." Xiao Shan said truthfully.He felt that when he saw Fangzheng coming to deliver food now, he would be embarrassed to look up at him, and the second brother didn't know what shame was, so he happily asked Fangzheng for the food that Fangzheng sent. When will you come again?

"Da Lang, Xiao Shan, don't you think Butcher Gao is too nice to Xiao Er?"

"Brother Gao has always been very kind to Xiao Er." Da Lang said.

Seeing Dalang's honesty, the old man Duan wanted to give him a kick, so he simply said, "I think Butcher Gao has taken a fancy to Xiaoer."

"What?" Da Lang was taken aback.

Xiao Shan became even more confused, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"I said Butcher Gao might want to marry our little girl!" Old man Duan opened and closed his mouth, and he stunned the two of them with just one sentence.

"Grand... grandpa, how can you make such a joke." Da Lang murmured.

"That's right, grandpa isn't an old fool, right?" Xiao Shan reached out to touch his forehead as he spoke, "Aren't you sick? Why are you talking nonsense? Second brother and Butcher Gao are both men, so how can they get married?" ?”

"Xiao Shan, men can marry men." Da Lang really didn't want to tell his younger brother this.

"What?" Xiao Shan was startled, and jumped up all of a sudden, "Man, what can a man do with a man?"

"It should be possible. The emperor was born by the late emperor." Da Lang said.

"Why haven't I heard it before?" Xiao Shan suddenly felt that it was still dark, and he began to dream.

"Who dares to talk about the affairs of the emperor's family every day."

"Then how did the eldest brother know?" Xiao Shan asked.

"Let's go to work on the pier. When I was unloading the goods, I saw two men walking together hand in hand, so I asked someone else, and they told me secretly." Da Lang said and looked at grandpa, "They said, In a big place like Kyoto, some men marry men."

"But we are all villagers." This is also the reason why old man Duan is worried.

The county magistrate gave Xiao Er a calf, but Xiao Er is still unwilling to marry.The more old man Duan thinks now, the more he feels that Xiao Er likes men more in his heart, otherwise, Xiao Er seems to be almost nineteen, why is he not in a hurry to say kiss.

If there is no money in the family, Da Lang has already said that the money in the family is enough for Xiao Er to settle the marriage first.The money for getting married can be earned slowly.

"Grandpa, I also think it's wrong for you to say that!" Da Lang said, looking at Xiao Shan, "Do you think you care about a daughter-in-law?"

"Brother, we're talking about the second brother, what are you doing with me?" Xiao Shan shy.

"Say it if you tell me!" Da Lang glared.

The second elder brother was not in front of him, and Xiao Shan, who had no backing, had a bitter face, "Of course, of course."

"That's enough." Da Lang clapped his palms, "Xiaoer still says every day that he can't support children after getting married, but that's not how life goes in every family."

"I also feel that Xiao Er is talking nonsense." At this moment, the old man Duan thought of the matchmaker who was chased away by Xiao Er, and the gossip about Xiao Er in Wangjia Village, "Maybe Xiao Er wants to talk to a The man was together, and he didn't know Butcher Gao at that time, so he let others ruin his name and didn't let Niuniu's mother go out and talk about it."

"Then what are we going to do now?" Da Lang had a headache.

"I'll ask Xiaoer what he means when he comes home!" Old man Duan said a little angrily.

"Grandpa, what about Butcher Gao?" Da Lang said worriedly, "If Xiaoer focuses on Butcher Gao, what shall we do?

"This is really a problem." The old man Duan sighed, if Butcher Gao had something wrong, he would just drive him away.Thinking of the white rice and noodles in the kitchen, and the meat porridge made by Xiaoer in the morning, Old Man Duan's mouth suddenly softened.Thinking about the big new bed with carved patterns that he slept on yesterday, the old man's waist also bent.

At the same time, Butcher Gao, who didn't know that he had been exposed, was helping Xiaoer pay the remaining manual fees in the carpenter's shop.

Seeing Xiao Er bent over to pick up what the carpenter had finished, Butcher Gao hurriedly said, "I'll do it!"

When the two of them returned to the pork shop, Fangzheng saw that the little second-hand man was walking in front with a few iron objects in his hands, and the general followed behind with a lot of difficulty.Fangzheng couldn't bear to look straight at him, "Is that person whose face is covered by things from our family?"

"Who else but him!" Ren Yuan rolled his eyes in the direction of Butcher Gao while cutting the pork.

"Why is he so virtuous now?" Fangzheng wondered.

"Ghost knows!" They asked the general to make friends, not to serve as Wang Xiaoer's follower. Ren Yuan was particularly suspicious of whether the general had figured out what a friend was.

"Then let's close the stall early today and see what Wang Xiaoer is up to. Shall we help him so that the general can rest?"

"That's the only way to go." Ren Yuan glanced behind him again while speaking.

Seeing Fangzheng and Ren Yuan holding the wooden board he put on the ground, Xiaoer hurriedly said, "Put it down quickly!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Er suddenly bluffed, Fang Zheng's hand shook, and he almost threw the things in his hand.

The frightened Xiao Er hurriedly got up and snatched it, "Don't touch my things, list some!"

"What is so expensive?" Seeing the general staring, Ren Yuan pulled Fang Zheng's clothes and took a few steps back.

"It's so exquisite and expensive, you will know later." The little second said without raising his head.

Upon hearing this, Butcher Gao didn't dare to bother Xiao Er anymore, seeing Fang Zheng and Ren Yuan rolling their eyes at Xiao Er's head, "Let's cook!"

"Brother Gao, you said the food we cook is not delicious!" When outsiders were around, Fangzheng not only changed his address to Butcher Gao, but also changed his attitude towards him, "I want you to do it!"

"Butcher, I'll do it later!"

"No, you're busy with your work." As he spoke, Butcher Gao shook his fist at Fang Zheng and the others when he saw that Xiao Er was only busy with his own work.

When Fang Zheng and Ren Yuan saw the general like this, they frowned, gave a silent "bah" to Butcher Gao, turned around and left.

Hurrying the two of them to finish the meal, seeing that Xiao Er was still busy with himself, and his general was still squatting in front of Xiao Er like a guard, the two of them didn't ask any questions, and went directly to serve the bowl.

After they finished eating and warmed up the cold rice, Wang Xiaoer stood up.The two looked at the strange thing that appeared in front of Wang Xiaoer, "What is this?"

"The sowing columbine!" Xiaoer stared at the formed columbine and kept giggling.

"What? Sow seeds? What kind of seeds?" Fang Zheng asked in a daze.

Xiao Er raised his head and saw Butcher Gao glaring at him, "Hey, hurry up and get me some food."

"Here!" Ren Yuan bumped his feet and ran extremely fast.

Xiaoer took the ladle from Ren Yuan's hand, poured all the wheat in it into the columbine of the cart, and then said to Butcher Gao, "Push it for me, the time to witness the miracle has come!"

According to Xiaoer's instructions, Butcher Gao slowly pushed the columbine cart forward. After only two or three steps, Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng saw three rows of wheat on the ground.

"What... what's going on here?" Fangzheng yelled strangely.

"Put this columbine cart in the prepared field, and pull it with an animal, and the columbine cart will get the wheat seeds into the ground by itself." Said Xiao Er, pointing to the grain on the ground, "See, the three lines are exactly the same No more, no more, no less, after the seeds are planted in the ground, this columbine can still bury the seeds in the soil."

"This, how, how is it possible?" Ren Yuan's eyes widened in shock.

"This is the truth." Xiao Eryi raised his head while talking, "Butcher, if I get this into the county government office, what do you think the county magistrate will reward me for?"

Butcher Gao was still immersed in the shock of being caught by the car, when he heard Xiaoer call him, "Ah? This, this cannot be seen by the county magistrate!"

"Why?" Xiaoer's expression changed. If the county magistrate couldn't see it, he wouldn't be able to use it openly, and he would spend so much effort to make such a car.

"Xiaoer, you don't know, once your columbine cart comes out, our county will be turned upside down." The people of the entire Jinyu Dynasty sow seeds when they plant in spring, and Xiaoer can make a sow all at once. If one is not done well, there will never be a stable life after Xiao Er.

"Then what should we do now?" Xiao Er raised his foot and was about to kick the car.

Butcher Gao had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly picked up the cart, "Xiaoer, Xiaoer, you can't act like this!"

"This is something I made, and I can do whatever I want!" He thought he could exchange the car for a lot of money, let alone exchange money now, according to Butcher Gao, he can't even use it secretly.

"Let me think of a way." Butcher Gao glared at Xiao Er, as if he could see what he was thinking, "You can exchange a lot of money for this thing, mainly because the county magistrate dare not give you so much money."

"What? Why?" Xiaoer felt something was wrong as soon as he asked, "You, how do you know?"
