Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Qu Erniu looked at his nephew, whom he hadn't seen for a while, and suddenly felt that this kid was a little strange, especially the eyes, which made him feel like his secret had been seen through when he looked at him: "Brother Yi?"

Qu Yi smiled, and pretended not to see Er Bo's probing eyes, and asked with a normal expression, "Second Uncle, what happened at home just now?"

Qu Erniu raised his eyebrows, and said to Qu Yi with a smile: "Brother Yi, you are a married brother, don't worry about your mother's affairs, live your own little life, and give birth to my fourth brother and others as soon as possible." Fat grandsons are right."

Qu Yi also smiled, and said slowly: "Just now I was standing at the door and heard everyone say a few words, it seems that grandma mistakenly thought that the eldest aunt stole the eggs from the house, but it turned out that the second uncle bought the eggs for you?"

Qu Erniu felt that this nephew was not easy, so he replied cautiously: "Siya fell, and your aunt took the copper plate from the bottom of the box to buy her some eggs. Why, brother Yi, you don't think it's right, either?"

Qu Yi shook her head: "There's nothing wrong, I just feel that Si Ya fell, if you want to eat eggs, there are so many chickens in the house, don't they have an egg?"

Qu Erniu's face darkened: "Brother Yi, have you forgotten all about your natal family after only a few days of marriage?"

Not frightened by Qu Erniu's black face, Qu Yi said unhurriedly: "Second uncle, of course I know how to divide the eggs at home. I am not a scholar, so I have to figure out how to eat eggs myself. I just admire my aunt." , can keep the dowry in the hands of the grandma for many years."

Qu Erniu's expression was inexplicable: "How can you, a junior, know about your aunt and the others?"

Too lazy to continue going around in circles with the second uncle, Qu Yi said directly: "Second uncle, I'm afraid it's not just a simple odd job when you go out to do odd jobs?"

Combining today's events, Qu Yi felt that with Erbo's behavior style, it was impossible to honestly go out to work and hand over all the money to Mrs. Qu. They probably had other intentions when they went out.

Qu Erniu was very surprised, he didn't expect that the first person to ask him this question would be Qu Yi, he didn't speak, his eyelids were half drooping, he acted like I don't know anything and you mean whatever you say.

Qu Yi didn't want to find out the other party's secrets, so he changed the subject: "Second Uncle, I have something to ask you. The Liang family bought a mountain, and my husband and I want to plant fruit trees on the mountain, buy fruit seedlings and take care of it. Mountains need people, I wonder if Er Bo has any recommendations?"

Without even thinking about it, Qu Erniu refused with a simple smile: "I'm just an honest country boy who doesn't understand anything, so I can't make trouble for you."

This smile made Qu Yi feel inexplicably familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he found that this smile was very similar to his father's smile. They were originally two brothers with similar facial features, and now even their eyes were the same.

Qu Yi stared at the second uncle for a while, then said clearly: "The second uncle was joking, we all think that except you, no one else can do this."

Qu Erniu's attitude made Qu Erniu a little confused. He thought that no one else knew about his little secrets except his husband and the deceased master. Why did Brother Yi let himself do what he said so firmly? Woolen cloth?

Qu Erniu didn't speak, and Qu Yi didn't speak either, just smiled and looked at his second uncle, listening to what Liang Kangsheng and the others had said.

Compared with Qu Erniu, who was not skating, Qu Daniu was much easier to talk to. In addition, Liang Kangsheng was so polite to Qu Daniu that after a few words, Qu Daniu couldn't even say a word of rejection.

Looking at the nephew-in-law, a scholar who was wearing a long gown like his eldest nephew, Qu Daniu rubbed the corners of his clothes nervously, and kept looking at his second brother from the corner of his eye, wanting his second brother to speak for him Two sentences.

However, Qu Erniu was confused by Qu Yi's attitude at the moment, and he didn't have extra attention to manage Qu Daniu.

Liang Kangsheng said with a smile: "Uncle, my father and I bought the barren fields outside my house yesterday. I heard from my father-in-law that you are a good farmer. Today we are here to ask you how to quickly turn the barren fields into good fields that can be cultivated." .”

"I, I..." Qu Daniu was flustered when he heard the words, and his hands were swaying so hard that there were almost afterimages. How could he, a country guy who couldn't read big characters, be worthy of a scholar's advice.

"Uncle, don't be nervous, just pretend that we are chatting casually." Liang Kangsheng pulled Qu Daniu to sit down, and sitting might relax this nervous man.

Probably because he had a place to put his hands after sitting down, Qu Daniu felt a little more at ease. He tried to look into the eyes of Liang Kangsheng who was talking to him like what his second brother taught him.

Looking at each other, Qu Daniu found that Liang Kangsheng's eyes were calm and gentle, without contempt or disgust, as if he was also a scholar like him.

This made Qu Daniu gradually calm down. After thinking for a while, he tried his best to calmly say to Liang Kangsheng: "Nephew and son-in-law, farming is really nothing. You can find any old man in the village who knows how to farm land better than me." .”

It's not that Qu Daniu is self-effacing. In his opinion, he really can't do it. How can he compare with those old people in the village who have been farming all their lives, such as his father, who has much more experience than him.

Liang Kangsheng understood Uncle Qu's temperament and knew that he was a very unconfident person, so he thought for a while and asked a seemingly irrelevant topic: "Uncle, do you know how much the land at home produces every year?"

This question can be answered without thinking of Qu Daniu: "When the year is good, the yield per mu can be about [-] to [-]. When the year is bad, if you work hard, you can also have about [-]."

Liang Kangsheng then asked: "Then do you know the yield per mu of other families in the village?"

"Anyone else in the village?" Qu Daniu scratched his head, he really didn't know very well, he was busy working all day, he hardly had time to go and listen to other people's chats, and he always just took care of his own land.

A few days ago, Liang Kang took the time to look at the account books of his family in previous years. The purchased booklets included the grain production of each village, which was convenient for the Liang family to sort out when they collected grain, because their family always only bought grain from those with high yields per mu. .

The first reason is that there are taxes on the land, and in addition to paying taxes, they also need to feed and drink for the whole family. The Liang family will not take the initiative to buy food from other people's families to fill their stomachs.

The second point is that the high yield per mu means that the farmer has taken good care of the crops at home. Unless there are some special circumstances, the fields will generally have a good harvest under the careful care of the farmers.

Only the grains produced in the fields that have been carefully tended will be full-grained and taste good when used for wine making. The wine made from dry grains will not be mellow or fragrant. This is the experience the Liang family has accumulated over the years.

Therefore, Liang Kangsheng had a good understanding of the yield per mu of the nearby villages. He pondered for a moment and said, "The average yield of the nearby villages is about [-] catties per mu when the year is good. Ten catties, no matter how poor people can have one hundred and seventy, eighty, God rewards the food, everyone's harvest is not bad."

"But when the years are bad, there is a big gap between different families. Some of them weigh a hundred catties, and there are no two families like you who can keep it at two hundred catties."

"Uncle, you are able to increase the yield of your family's field to as high as [-] catties per mu when the weather is bad. This is a very powerful skill."

Liang Kangsheng didn't speak fast, and what he said was very simple. Qu Daniu could hear him clearly. For some reason, he suddenly had a very turbulent emotion in his heart, which made his eyes sour.

After so many years, it was the first time someone said that he was good at farming and that he knew how to farm land was a skill.

In his memory, no matter how much grain he harvested in the field for so many years, his parents would never say hello to him. On the contrary, if there was less grain harvested in any year, he would have to endure at least half a year of scolding.

When Qu Daniu was emotional, Liang Kangsheng put a big hat on him: "Uncle, we came to you because we believe in you, and we think you can take care of the barren fields. You belong to Brother Yi." Uncle, that is, my uncle, if even you can't do well, who else can we trust?"

"When it comes to farming, I must be good at farming, but Brother Yi and I thought that my father is getting old, so we don't have the nerve to bother him with such a small matter. Uncle, you are the most suitable candidate."

"That piece of land used to be a high-quality good farmland. It has been deserted for so many years and we feel distressed. If it continues to be deserted like this, it will grow into a real wasteland in a few years."

……

During Liang Kangsheng's persuasion sentence after sentence, Qu Daniu opened his mouth wide, and the words of refusal rolled in his throat but he couldn't say it. Finally, he looked at Liang Kangsheng's sincere eyes, nodded and agreed, "OK!"

Liang Kangsheng was overjoyed immediately, and excitedly held Qu Daniu: "Uncle, then I will entrust our barren land to you!"

"The field is not small, more than 100 mu. You must not be able to do it alone. Then you have to ask the second uncle to help find some trustworthy people. Uncle, you will take everyone to work together."

"By the way, Qujia Village is a bit far from my house. It would take too much time for you to run back and forth on both sides every day. Why don't you stay at Liang's house for a while."

"Also, there are a lot of people and there is a lot of food to prepare. Can you please ask my aunt to help you? I heard that my aunt is quick to do things. It is most suitable to ask her to cook for the big guys."

"Speaking of which, I have to borrow some livestock from various villages. How to manage the livestock is not easy. There are too many things, and I can't understand one or two sentences. Uncle, why don't you, uncle and aunt, take advantage of the fact that it is not the busy season for farming? Follow tomorrow?"

Qu Daniu's face was flushed, and his breathing was short of breath. He couldn't figure out that he just agreed to help take care of the fields. Why did his nephew and son-in-law say that he was the one who led the people to work? Mother wants to go?

In a panic, Qu Daniu looked at Qu Erniu for help, but he found that his second brother was looking to the side helplessly, as if he didn't want to talk to him.
