Crossover boy farming

Zhang Wuliang sat at the dinner table only to realize how naive his idea of ​​enjoying life just now was. What are they eating?

That's right, it's the dark brown buckwheat cake, don't bully me for not reading enough, even if the wheat flour is not white, shouldn't it be yellowish brown?What is added here?

And this porridge, is this the legendary hodgepodge?

Wouldn't it be cooking leftovers from yesterday?This, this... I have to say: Brother, you are the truth...

Looking at Aunt Zhao and Zhang Zhenyong's usual appearance, Zhang Wuliang would feel that he was too spoiled.But looking at the thin and malnourished three people in front of him, Zhang Wuliang felt that the conditions were really bad...

In fact, Zhang Wuliang has to admit that he feels that the current conditions of this family are poor, which is viewed from the perspective of modern people.

In the context of ancient times, the life of the Zhang family is actually not bad, with food and clothing. Compared with a family in the village with a dozen or twenty acres of land, although the Zhang family only has five or six acres of land.But the Zhang family is small. Other families have three or four generations of grandparents and grandchildren. The Zhang family is much simpler. Now with Chen Xiaonian, there are only four people.

Therefore, the income from the field is enough to manage one's own daily life.

The reason why I didn’t live a very rich life was because the Zhang family only had Zhang Wuliang as a strong laborer. Zhang Zhenyong was only nine years old and a half-old boy, and he could only be a helper at ordinary times. Aunt Zhao suffered from miscarriage in her early years. Now I can only help with some light work.

Therefore, all the problems in the fields fell on Zhang Wuliang's head alone.

In addition, the orphans and widows at home cannot do without him, and they can't go out to do part-time jobs to earn money.There is only the annual grain income. Fortunately, the weather has been good in the past few years, although the grain income is not high.But I can still earn some money, but after buying extra food and replacing it with daily necessities, there is not much left every year.

And sometimes Mrs. Zhao is not feeling well and she has to take some money out to buy medicine to supplement her health. It's hard to say how rich the family can be.

So no matter how capable Zhang Wuliang is, few people are willing to marry their daughters to Zhang's family.

After all, marrying into Zhang's family means taking over this big business.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wuliang turned his head and looked at Chen Xiaonian beside him. It was not easy for him to marry in with such conditions as the Zhang family.

Although this has something to do with the large population of the Chen family and the fact that he himself is a brother.

But he was able to marry in, which means that he was prepared to endure hardships. While secretly admiring Zhang Wuliang, he decided to treat others better in the future.

"What's the matter? Brother Zhang." Chen Xiaonian asked the man who had been staring at him.

"It's okay." Zhang Wuliang broke off half of the cake in front of him and put it in Chen Xiaonian's bowl. "You are too thin, eat more."

Chen Xiaonian refused again and again with some embarrassment: "No, no need, I can't eat that much."

Zhang Wuliang insisted on putting the cake in the bowl: "It's okay, you are still growing, eat more and grow better."

"That's right, you should eat more." Mrs. Zhao also echoed beside her, and then said again, "If you raise your body well, you will be able to give birth, and you will be able to fill in more grandchildren for Lao Zhang's family."

Chen Xiaonian didn't dare to lift his head when Mrs. Zhao said it, and just buried his head in eating.

"There are too few people in our family now, so it's not lively." Aunt Zhao began to feel sad again as she spoke: "Hey, if I hadn't been in poor health back then, the second child would not have disappeared like that, and the head of the family would have left early. , Daniel now has no one who can help him, he works so hard every day, I used to see Daniel come back from work every day and lie down on the bed to sleep. .

But my broken body can't help much. Now I'm fine, I'm married and have a husband. Xiaonian, you can help me take good care of Daniel. It's been really difficult for him these few years, no easy. "As he spoke, he began to wipe away tears.

Chen Xiaonian looked at him at a loss and could only nod his head desperately, wanting to say that he would take good care of Zhang Wuliang and take care of the family, but he didn't know how to say this, tears were rolling in his eyes.

Half of it was because I didn't know how to comfort Aunt Zhao, and the other half was because I felt sorry for Zhang Wuliang.

Zhang Wuliang sighed, first gave Chen Xiaonian a comforting look, and signaled him to be calm, then broke off half of his own cake and put it in Aunt Zhao's bowl:

"Mother, let him pass the past days. I am young and strong and don't feel hard. You see, we are living a good life now. I am married to my husband. Who said that I have no help? There is no need for it." Little rock?

Little Shitou has grown up and can help a lot now, mother, don't worry, our family's life will definitely get better and better, so you can just relax and take good care of your body. "

Zhang Zhenyong echoed from the side: "Yes, yes, don't worry, aunt, I have grown up too, next year I will go to the fields with my elder brother and help him."

Zhang Wuliang looked at the kid on the other side who was desperately trying to prove himself, a little relieved and a little bit sad: "Okay, little stone will go to the field with big brother in the future, and help big brother. If little stone has been working for a few days, he will cry tired If you do it, I won't accept it."

Zhang Zhenyong gave up when he heard it: "I don't know how to do it. I am diligent, so I am not like Zhang Ergou!"

Zhang Ergou, whose name is Zhang Zhencai, is the youngest son of Zhang Wuliang and Zhang Zhenyong's great-grandfather's uncle. He is only two years older than Zhang Zhenyong, and he is lazy. When his father asked him to follow him to the field, he followed him for a day and cried the next day. He shouted that he didn't want to go again.

His family disagreed, so he ran to the mountain by himself and could not come down. At night, his grandfather became anxious and mobilized the whole village to search for it for a long time, but he finally ran out because he was hungry.

The family was scared to death. He played in the mountains for a day, so he felt at ease, and it was also because of the large population of Grandpa Zhang Wuliang.In addition, his grandparents doted on this little grandson, and felt that such a child's labor was not bad, so they stopped forcing him to work in the fields.

Only Zhang Ergou's father, Uncle Zhang, felt that as a farmer, Zhang Ergou had to be able to cultivate the land.But no, there is no compromise on this point.

And it is obvious that Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang think so too.

Therefore, under the coercion of his father and the isolation and helplessness, Zhang Ergou had no choice but to obediently follow his father to work in the field.

But Zhang Ergou is also a little clever, he can learn the work in the field, and Uncle Zhang doesn't know whether to be happy or angry.

Hearing Zhang Zhenyong's words, Zhang Wuliang was stunned for a moment, and after remembering where Zhang Ergou was from, he felt a little funny: "Well, my little stone is not like Ergou, my little stone is very diligent.

But you have to eat more food to feed yourself strong, so you can work more. "

As he spoke, he put the remaining cake in Zhang Zhenyong's bowl.

When Zhang Zhenyong heard that his elder brother praised him, he almost raised his tail to the sky, and said: "Of course, I am the most diligent in the village, even sister Lizhi praised me, saying that I am much more diligent than the tiger cub. "

The sister Lizhi and the tiger cub that Zhang Zhenyong said were Zhang Dashan's daughter-in-law Zhao Lizhi and the youngest son Zhang Xiaohu.

The families in Yaohe Village share the same ancestor for several generations, and they are somewhat related by blood. Zhang Wuliang's branch is a small house in a small house, belonging to the younger generation, just like Zhang Dashan and his wife and Zhao Aunt Zhao is about the same age, but her seniority is younger than Aunt Zhao.

Their son Zhang Xiaohu's nickname is Tiger Cub, but he is called Uncle Zhang Zhenyong even though he is one year older than Zhang Zhenyong.In addition, the two families are very close, so there are more contacts. Zhang Zhenyong and Zhang Xiaohu are good playmates, and they often go up the mountain together to collect firewood and pigweed.

Zhang Wuliang reckoned that Zhao Lizhi casually said a polite remark about being more diligent than tiger cubs, and the child took it seriously when he heard it, and immediately smiled and did not refute it.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhenyong came back to his senses after finishing speaking and protested again and again: "Brother, it's true, what are you talking about, I'm not a pig, and I'm raising a strong one.

Besides, I can work even if I am not strong..."

Zhang Wuliang took another piece of cake from the table and held it in his hand. Listening to his words, he felt a little funny and a little helpless, saying that it was impossible for Zhang Zhenyong to follow him to work in the fields.

After all, he does not advocate the use of child labor for young children.

Aunt Zhao's emotions came and went quickly, and she forgot the sad thing just now after being interrupted by the two brothers. She wiped away her tears with a smile and picked up the bowl to eat again. Chen Xiaonian saw it in his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. Turning his head to look at Zhang Wuliang and continuing to eat with his head down, Zhang Wuliang raised his eyebrows.

A breakfast was going on in a strangely quiet and harmonious atmosphere...

After dinner, Aunt Zhao and Chen Xiaonian cleaned up the dishes, and Zhang Wuliang led Zhang Zhenyong to return tables, chairs and benches from door to door.

When they came back, only Aunt Zhao and Chen Xiaonian were peeling corn and chatting in the yard. Seeing this, Zhang Wuliang and Zhang Zhenyong went into the house to drink water, and each of them moved a small bench and sat around the corn cobs to help peel the corn. corn.

Aunt Zhao was introducing the family affairs to Chen Xiaonian. Seeing them coming, she continued to follow the topic with the work in her hand: "I just told Xiaonian that it is the end of the year. The first year of the service, this year is no better than before, this year, it needs to be a little more lively, we have to hurry up and get ready."

Zhang Wuliang was taken aback: "Isn't there still nearly two months?"

Aunt Zhao disagreed: "What's wrong with two months? Two months passed in the blink of an eye. The Chinese New Year can't be simply said and passed. There are a lot of things to prepare. You can see that the weather is getting colder." , It’s going to snow soon, we’ve got enough firewood, new clothes, new shoes, and grains to eat, let’s get them out quickly.”

Zhang Wuliang thinks about it too. You can’t think about it with the lifestyle of modern people. The pace of life of ancient people is slow. Are there any recreational activities? After the autumn harvest, don’t you just prepare for the New Year?

Then he nodded his head in agreement, "Okay, then I will go up the mountain tomorrow, so as not to snow and make the road difficult."

Aunt Zhao glanced at Chen Xiaonian and said: "There is no rush for these two days, you can go up the mountain after Brother Nian returns home."

Hearing what she said, Zhang Wuliang also found that he hadn't considered well.

After all, you just got married and you don't know anything well. If your husband is not at home with you, everyone will be a little unhappy: "That's fine, I'll stay at home with Xiaonian first."
