Zhang Zhenwen was absent-mindedly playing with Zhang Ergou and Chen Xiaonian's learning flashcards, and smelling the scent wafting from the kitchen, it really seemed like that.

After all the food was on the table, Zhang Zhenwen leaned over to the table and looked at it, smelled it again, and said in surprise: "It looks good, the color and aroma are complete." Then he shrugged his nose: "I just don't know how it tastes. How is it?"

Zhang Wuliang is setting chopsticks: "You will know if you try it?"

"Hey." Zhang Zhenwen picked up a piece of bacon with chopsticks, tentatively put it in his mouth, and chewed it a few times: "Wow, the taste is not bad."

The others looked at him, and after hearing what he said, they picked up the chopsticks and tasted it curiously, and they couldn't believe it when they brought the food into their mouths.

"Brother Zhang, is this really your first time cooking? It's delicious!" Chen Xiaonian said, swallowing what was in his mouth.

Zhang Wuliang smiled. In fact, he had cooked for his younger brother and himself before.

Although I am not a chef, the home-cooked dishes can still be eaten.

"It's not that exaggerated." He still has this self-knowledge: "It's just that beauty is in the eyes of your lover."

Zhang Zhenwen dragged his voice "tsk" from the side.

Chen Xiaonian turned his head with red ears, Brother Zhang is too bad, he praised him sincerely, but he made fun of himself instead, hum!

Zhang Wuliang smiled: "Eat first, there is still soup in the kitchen, I'll go get it."

"Go, go." Zhang Zhenwen waved to him.

Eating without speaking, sleeping without speaking...

not at all!The dinner table was very lively, discussing last night's Lantern Festival and other meetings, and talking about this year's spring plowing.

In a few days it will be the annual spring plowing. People in Taohe Village attach great importance to spring plowing. Spring plowing, summer cultivation, autumn harvesting, and winter storage are the most important things for them in a year.

Their idea is very simple. Whether you earn or lose money in business outside, you must take care of the affairs in the field.As long as there is one-third of an acre of land, you will not starve to death.

Zhang Zhenzong explained to Zhang Wuliang: "The thawing was late this year, but my grandfather said that it will be cleaned up the day after tomorrow at the latest. You can get the thing out in the next two days, and you can go to the ground in a few days."

Zhang Wuliang nodded. The older generation still had experience with this kind of thing, so he just had to follow them.

After Zhang Zhenzong and the others went back in the afternoon, Zhang Wuliang took out all the hoes, rakes, dustpans, and baskets from the woodshed, cleaned them up, and put them against the wall.

One day later in the morning, after Zhang Wuliang knocked on the lid of the pot to "send laziness", he took Zhang Zhenyong and Chen Xiaonian down to the ground with tools. This was another family mobilization activity.

Just after winter, the work in the field is mainly weeding and fertilizing in the wheat field.

The two heavy snowfalls at the end of last year covered the wheat seedlings tightly for the whole winter and killed the pests. Now that the ice and snow have melted after the beginning of spring, the wheat will grow rapidly again.

However, there will be weeds in the ground growing with him.

When the three of Zhang Wuliang arrived in the field, there were already people on the ground, and others arrived one after another. After greeting Zhang Zhenzong's family, the three continued to walk for a while before arriving at their own land boundary. work.

Zhang Wuliang's first things seemed a little clumsy.After all, apart from going to the field with his parents when he was young, he only has a little memory of the original body left in his body. Fortunately, after he took the rake and pawed in the field twice, he gradually recovered. Got some feeling.

The three of them had a clear division of labor, with Zhang Wuliang loosening the soil in the front, and Zhang Zhenyong picking up the weeds in the back into the basket, and pulling out some grass that could not be hoeed, so that the grass could be taken back to feed the chickens.Then Chen Xiaonian covered the wheat with a layer of gray fertilizer.

At noon, the mothers-in-law and daughters of every household will bring meals, and they will sit on the ridge to eat. Spring plowing requires a lot of energy and energy.At this time, the family will prepare a lot of hard dishes that can withstand hunger, and no one will be stingy.

After a while, Aunt Zhao, Zhang Zhenzong's daughter-in-law Lin Yuner, and Zhang Zhenwen's daughter-in-law Zhao Lian came with their own meals.

This winter, Zhang Wuliang's family and Uncle Zhang's family earned a lot of money, and the food has also improved. The food delivered is full of oil and water, and the fragrance is overflowing. Many people secretly swallowed their saliva and looked up Looking towards the intersection: Why hasn't this family come to deliver food yet?

Zhang Wuliang couldn't take care of these things anymore, he was already hungry and put his chest on his back. Seeing Mrs. Zhao coming, he hurriedly greeted Zhang Zhenyong and Chen Xiaonian to the boundary of Uncle Zhang's house. A group of people found a spacious room under a big tree. Place to sit and eat and rest.

Zhang Wuliang picked up the earthen pot and gulped a few sips of water, then took the bowl and chopsticks and started cooking the rice.

Aunt Zhao watched from the side, a little worried: "Daniu, eat slowly."

"Hmm," Zhang Wuliang answered vaguely with something in his mouth.It wasn't until there was something in his stomach that his movements gradually slowed down.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhang Wuliang put his hands on the ground and fell back, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he let out a satisfied sigh.

The breeze blew, and the warm sun shone on his face. Zhang Wuliang felt a little sleepy. He closed his eyes slowly. After a while, he sat up straight again and returned to the shadow of the tree. poison……

It was another afternoon of hard work. After work was over, the three of them dragged their tired bodies back home. Aunt Zhao had already boiled hot water and prepared dinner.

The three of them bathed and ate like ghosts, fell asleep when they went to bed, and got up early the next day to continue.

Just like this, after three days of hard work in the fields, Zhang Wuliang's family's few acres of land were finally cleared up.

After these three days, Zhang Zhenyong and Chen Xiaonian, who had finally been brought up white and fat this winter, were beaten back to their prototypes, and even blackened to a degree.

Of course, just physically, they looked much better than when Zhang Wuliang first came.

As for Zhang Wuliang?He has been like that for a long time, and there is no possibility of further development.

On the second day after the end of spring plowing, the sky began to rain lightly. People who were still outdoors ran home with their heads in their arms, with happy smiles on their faces. They all said that spring rain is as expensive as oil.

Taking advantage of the drizzle, the village head went door to door to tell them to gather at his house after lunch, because he had something to say.

After Zhang Wuliang sent the village chief away, he vaguely thought that it should be Zhang Zhenwen in front of him who was talking about building a private school.

Sure enough, when Zhang Wuliang went to the village chief's house after lunch and saw Zhang Zhenlin in the main room of his house, these two words floated in his mind.

He took off the bamboo hat from his head, and grinned at Zhang Zhenlin: "Brother Hou'er, long time no see."

Zhang Zhenlin smiled helplessly: "It's been a long time, come in quickly."

Yo, Zhang Wuliang raised his eyebrows: I haven't seen the rise in a few days, it's okay!

Zhang Zhenlin could tell what he was thinking just by looking at him, the more he talked, the more energetic he was, it was better not to accept his tricks!

His brother, who was so cute and honest when he was young, why does he grow crooked when he grows up?Zhang Zhenlin shook his head silently in his heart.

Then people came over one after another, and the first thing they said when they saw Zhang Zhenlin was: Zhang Juren (Zhenlin) is here too!

Then after Zhang Zhenlin nodded, they all fell into silence, sitting on the stool a little cautiously, and there was very little even the usual whispering, and the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.

Zhang Zhenlin was also a little helpless. Ever since he passed the Juren examination, everyone in the village saw him like this, with respect and a little distance. Now only Zhang Wuliang can make jokes in front of him like before.

Zhang Zhenlin cast his eyes on Zhang Wuliang, Zhang Wuliang was taken aback for a moment, then winked at him: You know me now!

Zhang Zhenlin turned his head silently...

After a while, the village head and several elders came out from the inner hall, and a group of people hurriedly stood up to greet them.

Zhang Zhengyang was a little surprised to see how quiet they were today, then he sat down, cleared his throat and said, "I think everyone has received the news a few years ago that Zhenlin plans to open a private school in the village. It is natural for the village to protect children and grandchildren. It is a strong support. I have discussed with several uncles just now, and I plan to take out the land next to the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall to build a private school. The place is not only a place for seclusion, but also in the middle of the village, where the children can be quiet. Reading, safety can also be guaranteed, do you have any opinions?"

Zhang Zhengyang looked around for a week, and everyone shook their heads and said no: "Well, since none of you have any opinions, then this matter is settled. The next thing I want to talk about is about building a private school."

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Zhang Zhengyang mobilized first: "Zhenlin also said before that each member of the Zhang clan only pays one liang of Shuxiu a year, while those in our own village only pay two liang.

Since Zhenlin has provided our village with such great convenience, our Taohe Village can't just take advantage of it for nothing. "

"So" Zhang Zhengyang paused: "The Zhang clan plans to spend 50 taels to build this private school."

When this sentence came out, it immediately exploded. "50 taels" "Yes, is there still that much money in the clan?" "Yes, that much"

Zhang Wuliang was also a little surprised. He had only seen some copper plates when he came here, and he hadn't seen any silver. 50 taels, it should be a lot.

"Ahem, be quiet, be quiet." Zhang Zhengyang said aloud after their discussion was almost over, "The money promised by the clan will naturally come from the clan. But for the repair of the house, every household has to contribute."

"This is nature" and "Natural nature" echoed from below.

"That's good," Zhang Zhengyang said, "After I ask Mr. Feng Shui to choose an auspicious day to start construction."

On the 25th of the first lunar month, the construction of the first private school in Taohe Village officially started. Taking advantage of the spring plowing just after, the whole Taohe Village united as one, and it took less than a month to complete the construction of the Taolin Private School.

Afterwards, amidst the lively cheers and firecrackers, the history of Taohe Village quietly opened a new chapter...
