farming in ancient times

Because the two stayed in Kyoto for a few days, it was already mid-October when they returned with three families driving cars. Xiaoer looked at the fallen leaves all over the ground and suddenly realized that it had been more than 200 days and nights since he came to ancient times. .

Xiao Er couldn't help thinking about it, and didn't know what happened to her mother, father and elder brother.

Butcher Gao felt stupid when he saw that Xiao Er was holding a bowl and not eating, "What's wrong? Homesick?" Xiao Er said "Hmm".Butcher Gao said, "We'll be home in ten days."

Xiaoer said, "It's time for the rice to be harvested at home. I don't know if my elder brother sold the fish, and I don't know if my grandparents made a fuss."

"I don't know about the others, but when I left, I told County Magistrate Bai to let him visit our house when he was free. Don't worry, your uncle and the others don't dare to make trouble." Butcher Gao said.

Xiao Er suddenly raised his head, "When did you go? Why didn't I hear you say that?"

"I went there on the day I left." Butcher Gao said, "If I don't arrange my family well, how can I go to the border with peace of mind."

Xiao Er pouted, "It's as if my house is yours."

"Your house will be my house from now on." Butcher Gao squeezed his face happily, "Hurry up and eat, we can still go to the next town before dark."

At this time, Dalang Dalang sold the last cart of dried fish, and when he got home, he asked Ren Yuan who had a bad leg and stayed at home, "Did you write a letter from Xiao Er?"

"The general said they will be back at the end of the month." Ren Yuan waved Xiao Shan to rest.Xiao Shan put down his brush and went to pour water for Da Lang to serve his meal, "Brother, sister-in-law made chicken for lunch, and left a big bowl for you and Brother Fangzheng, eat quickly!"

"Xiaoer should feel distressed when he sees it." Dalang took the rice and refused to eat it, "I don't know if Xiaoer is thin." He said and looked at Fangzheng, "Didn't you say that Xiaoer will come back in September? It's been over a month."

Fangzheng dug out the calluses from his ears and eyes, and said weakly, "Dalang, can you wait for me to finish my meal before talking about it."

Dalang opened his mouth, and Wang Hanshi interrupted him, "After you have dinner, you will find someone to help us build a house. Xiaoer and Brother Gao will have a place to live when they come back."

Da Lang glanced at the adobe piled up by the wall, and was a little hesitant. He didn’t know that Brother Gao could build any kind of house in his own house. Building a house with stone bricks?"

"Why?" Wang Hanshi asked, Dalang looked at Fangzheng and Ren Yuan.

Fangzheng said hehe, "It doesn't matter what kind of house the general lives in, but Dalang, are you sure Xiaoer won't fight you hard when he sees you building a house with stone bricks?"

Dalang was suddenly dumb.

Wang Hanshi laughed, Zheng Fengshi opened the door and came in and asked, "What's the whole family talking about, I'm so happy."

"Auntie, why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?" Wang Han hurriedly greeted.

Zheng Feng waved his hands and said with a smile, "Don't stand up, our family has already eaten it." This year, the villagers in Wangjia Village, thanks to the blessing of Xiao Er, the rice in every household is longer than that in other villages. Well, the fish in the rice fields can be exchanged for some money, and it can also satisfy the greed of adults and children in the family.

Therefore, during this period of time, Wangjia Village was full of laughter.

Life is better, people's mood is better, and the gossip that used to permeate the village is much less, but how can these old women be able to stay idle.Not to mention Xiao Er is stingy and stingy, caring about Xiao Er is enough to cause headaches.

Wang Hanshi heard the other party's intentions and hurriedly said, "Auntie, Xiao Er is not in a hurry to get married."

"Niu Niu's mother, that's not what you said. Xiaoer will be 19 years old after the new year, so why not be in a hurry when he is [-]." He suddenly thought of something, "Well, don't worry, this This time won’t be like last time, I’ll make inquiries for your family. Let’s not talk about her girl’s fair appearance, and she works neatly, mainly because her buttocks can be fertile.”

"Pfft" all of a sudden, Fangzheng was almost stuck by a chicken bone, afraid that if she continued talking, the children would come out, so he quickly swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, "Aunt Zheng, I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Dalang, Xiaoer's Marriage is settled."

"What? When was it settled?" Zheng Feng was shocked, Zheng Feng couldn't believe it, Xiao Er was engaged... then who will the girl from her relative's family marry!Who is so quick? Seeing that Dalang's family is going to build a house, he snatches Xiaoer away.

Da Lang looked at Fang Zheng, and asked him silently, what should we do now?

Fangzheng said, "Aunt Zheng, you also know that Xiao Er in our family has the most correct ideas. We dare not tell you who Xiao Er is engaged to if she doesn't say anything. By the way, Xiao Er will be back in a few days. Then you can ask him."

"Da Lang, you are the eldest brother, how can you make Xiao Er get engaged in a daze?" According to Zheng Feng's thinking, Xiao Er's engagement was also made during the time he was away.

Dalang is not good at words, and Fangzheng also knows, "Don't make things difficult for us, Auntie, it's only a few days."

When Zheng Feng saw Dalang scratching his ears and cheeks, Wang Han just smiled and kept silent, and Zheng Feng left without asking any questions.However, the next day, everyone knew that the most capable and best young man in the village was abducted by someone who came out of nowhere.

Da Lang leveled the vegetable garden behind the house, planning to build a row of houses first, and then knock down and rebuild the old house they have lived in for more than 20 years.When the villagers who came to help build the house saw Dalang, they didn't ask him how he planned to build the house, but asked, "Why didn't we hear you mention when Xiao Er got engaged? Your grandfather told someone about Xiao Er's marriage." Is it?"

Da Lang shook his head, "I don't know, you can ask Xiao Er later."

These gentlemen usually like the simple and honest Da Lang, and now they really want to kick him, "How can you not know, why are you a big brother!" Naturally, Ji Dalang talked to them.

If Butcher Gao was not involved, Da Lang would have said it, but it was about the General, and seeing that the villagers were so curious, Da Lang suddenly decided to hide the matter between Xiao Er and the General. of.

No, no one knew that Xiao Er's daughter-in-law was a man until the day Xiao Er got married.Looking at the glaring red wedding gowns on Butcher Gao and Xiaoer, no matter how the villagers think that it is not good for a man to marry a man, it is not good to say anything depressing on the day when they are happy.

This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

Xiao Er and Butcher Gao walked all the way, and when they passed by big cities and small towns and stopped for a rest, Xiao Er would buy whatever was unusual or exquisite, but Butcher Gao was a little confused when he saw that he was spending money like running water.Could it be that what the emperor said was true, when Xiaoer had no money, he was very good at living, and once he had money, he started to squander it.

Butcher Gao shook his head again and again, it's impossible, if Xiaoer is a prodigal, well, then he is still nesting in Gao Laozhuang.

If the general doesn’t ask, it doesn’t mean that the three coachmen who are not familiar with Xiao Er don’t ask. One of them saw that the carriage that Madam and the general were sitting in was full of things, and Madam planned to continue buying, so he asked, “Madam bought so many things.” What are you doing?"

Xiao Er didn't know that he was about to become a prodigal in the eyes of several people at this time, so he said, "Of course I will bring it back and sell it."

"What?" The general almost tripped over his own feet, "You want to be a businessman!"

"How is it possible!" The merchants in this place are classified as untouchables, Xiaoer now has no shortage of food, drink, daughter-in-law and RV, "Isn't this just by chance?" Xiaoer pointed at the butcher Gao hugged with strange eyes Packed pine smoke ink and rib inkstone, "Do you know how much these things can be sold in our state capital?"

The general has also been to many places, so he thought for a while, "It should be higher than here."

"What is high point!" Xiao Er slapped him hard on the shoulder, "At least five times more expensive! Five times!" Xiao Er stretched out five fingers, "You know what?"

"How is it possible?" A small piece of pine smoke ink cost nearly five taels of silver, five times, how many generals were stupid, and so were the coachmen.

The general thought for a moment, "That's not right! Er, the five times the price is set by you, right?"

Xiao Er didn't expect his brain to react so quickly, and curled his lips, "How is it possible! If I set the price so high, I will sell it to someone later, and we don't have any scholars in our family, so keep it in my hand for food."

Xiaoer didn't say that people who can afford top-grade pens, inks, papers and inkstones are not short of money, and the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River has a lot of rich people. It is rare to encounter such a good opportunity.

The general also thought about it, "Xiao Er, you are so smart, I wondered why you had to make a detour from Huizhou."

Xiao Er was afraid that he would be surprised again that he couldn't fool him, so he didn't dare to buy anything when he was on his way.

After a group of people passed through the state capital and sold all the things they carried along the way, several coachmen saw that the wife had made a lot of money in a blink of an eye, and they all gave a thumbs up, "Madam is so powerful, she took us here all at once. I earned back everything I ate and used along the way.”

Xiao Er proudly raised his eyebrows at the general, "Not only that, the money for our three carts of goods has also come out."

As soon as this remark came out, several coachmen stopped holding the reins, "Husband, madam, you... you..."

"Farewell, hurry up, let's try to get home before tomorrow night." Xiaoer took a deep breath, suddenly loosened his clenched fist, raised his hand and threw a gold ingot to each of them.

The general saw several generals looking at him, and nodded to them.Just when several people exclaimed, "Thank you, madam!", the general got into the carriage, hugged the gasping man who was distressed by Yin Zi, buried his head in Xiaoer's neck, and let out a muffled laugh.

Xiao Er raised his hand and slapped him, "You are enough!"

"Not enough!" The general was even happier, lying in front of his ear and whispering, "Xiao Er, our family is short of money now, and you don't need to torment yourself for a little money in the future."

"Can you talk?" Xiao Er glared at him, then simply lay back and couldn't see.

Seeing this, the general stopped teasing him and got up to drive the car.

When Xiaoer heard someone shouting "Butcher" outside, Xiaoer stretched his head to see, and it turned out that a day had passed without knowing it.Seeing Carpenter Feng going up the mountain with an ax on his back, Xiaoer greeted, "Uncle Feng, go up the mountain. Is my elder brother at home?"

"Hey, Xiaoer, you, are you well-developed?" Carpenter Feng said, he was wondering why the man in silk and satin looked so much like Butcher Gao, but now he was no longer confused.In an instant, Xiaoer's four carriages were surrounded by the villagers.
