The life of farming in ancient times with a system

"There are so many people, you don't like any of them?" The wrinkled old man grabbed Jiang Daizhen's hand lovingly.

Someone next to him said: "Is there someone in my heart, so no one can look down on me?"

Jiang Daizhen glanced at the man, threw himself into the old man's arms and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, I'm still young. Why are you urging me to marry? I want to spend more time with you. After I get married, I won't be able to visit you often gone."

The old man was amused by him, and said cheerfully: "Don't rush, no one can rush, really want to stay with me."

Everyone coaxed a laugh.

"Look how good the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren is. If you really don't want to part with your grandmother, you should marry into our family. This is called kissing and kissing."

The speaker was Jiang Daizhen's second aunt.It's called Ma Qionghua.Among the several aunts, he is the most shrewd, and he wants Jiang Daizhen to marry into Jiang's family, and it is best to be his daughter-in-law.

They fell in love with Jiang Daizhen, but Jiang Daizhen looked down on them.The cousins ​​are all idiots who can't be supported. They only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and they don't do any serious business.Even if you have thousands of dollars in wealth, sooner or later you will spend it all.They are not only focusing on Jiang Daizhen, but also the generous dowry that Jiang Daizhen can bring.

Ma Qionghua made a start, and the aunts behind all reacted, and started to sell their sons chatteringly: "Yeah, it would be great if we got married. When we arrive at Jiang's house, with our ancestors in charge, who would dare to bully him?" Really? I think Jiang Yuan in my family is very good, why doesn’t he come when he talks about Zhenzhen every day?”

"My family's Jiang Qi is better, he always talks about the truth in his dreams."

"What kind of dream did you have, spring dream? Hey, Jiang Zhen from my family is more realistic. I heard that Zhenzhen is coming, so I took out all the things I usually don't want to use, and gave it to Zhenzhen to play with like a treasure."

Jiang Daizhen smiled and said nothing, someone would refuse for him.

Grandmother said like chasing flies: "Go, go, they are all wine bags and rice bags. Don't say that they really don't like it, even I don't like it myself. You are so brave to mention it. I will burn your face for you. If I have time Use less smears on your face, and spend more time disciplining your children!"

What he said made the aunts blush with embarrassment, and they covered their sleeves and fled away.

Jiang Dai smiled secretly, grabbed his grandmother's clothes and shook them slightly: "It's still my grandmother who loves me."

Grandma hugged him and called like a sweetheart: "Grandma doesn't love you, who will love you?"

Jiang Daizhen looked out, and several cousins ​​hid together, making faces at him.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Shuisheng walked over with difficulty pushing the cart after collecting his land.Maybe he was tired from walking, so he put the cart on the ground and started chatting with Lin Shen in a casual tone.

Lin Shen glanced at him and said flatly, "Look at the ground."

Liu Shuisheng took a look at the fields, he knew that these fields were all high-quality farmlands and belonged to a big family nearby.

"It's useless to look at it again. If it's not yours, then it's not yours." Liu Shuisheng sneered. He didn't seem to think it was enough, and said, "I think there is a word that suits you very well. It's called Wangmei to quench thirst. Others think of plum blossoms Saliva, you are drooling looking at other people's land. It's not easy for you. You don't even have a decent land. I still have five middle and low-level fields. Although the harvest is not enough, I barely Barely enough to feed the whole family. You are pitiful, and you just expect to go out to work for others to earn money and then buy food."

He said a lot, but Lin Shen didn't respond, but the old carpenter took another look at him.

"How is the harvest this year?" The old carpenter changed the subject.

"Fortunately, it's enough for the whole family to eat, so it won't be a problem this winter." Liu Shuisheng said proudly.

Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject and said, "What about you? Have you bought enough food for winter? You don't have any land, and you have to spend money to buy food for food. This is not a small expenditure. You have no Do as much work as you want, no matter how beautiful the house is, you can’t do without food.”

The old carpenter smiled and said nothing: "Yes."

"I'll come over tomorrow to plow the plow. It's better to get some fertilizer to strengthen the field. There should be a good harvest next year." Lin Shen ignored Liu Shuisheng and said to the old carpenter beside him.

"I don't know how to farm, you can figure it out yourself," said the old carpenter.

Liu Shuisheng regained his energy when he heard this: "Lin Sanlang, you have found a new job again? You are too uninteresting, why don't you call me if you have a good job, I am the best at plowing, where is the boss, and how is the salary calculated? "

He looked around wagging his head like a dog smelling meat.

Lin Shen glanced at him again, and slowly showed a playful smile: "I am the boss, I work for myself, what wages do I need?"

Liu Shuisheng was stunned, as if he couldn't turn his head around: "You are the owner? This land is yours? Don't you have no land? When will you have land?"

Like a broken electronic watch, it keeps repeating these few words.

At the same time, he looked at Lin Shen with suspicious eyes, and his mind was full of one sentence: When did he buy the land?

Like many people in the village, he thought that Lin Shen was so poor that he didn't even have an inferior paddy field.

But today, Lin Shen actually told him that he has fertile land.

After Lin Shen finished speaking, he went into the field, looking around for the situation around the fertile field.I also ran into a pair of brothers picking up grain, and the two of them sneaked here, pretending to look at the scenery, who could see that they were carrying a cloth bag behind them.

When Lin Shen passed by, they were all frightened.

The two turned their heads and wanted to run, but Lin Shen grabbed their bags.After running far away, the two came back again.

Lin Shen opened the bag and took a look, then returned the bag to them, and asked them curiously, "Why are you running?"

A bold brother said, "We thought you were the owner of these fields."

"I am." As Lin Shen said, he bent down to pick up a rice ear on the ground, and handed it to them with a kind expression.

The brother was startled, took the ear of rice boldly, and said with a smile, "Then why don't you scold us?"

Lin Shen wondered, "Why should I scold you?"

"We picked up the grain in your field." Brother tremblingly said.

These days, every family is having a hard time.There are many people who can't eat.After harvesting the grain, many people went to the field to pick up the grain, and smashed it with a stick after picking it up, and there were few people who took the opportunity to steal the grain.

Later, every household was not allowed to pick up food, and asked their own family members to come over to pick up food. If they saw others picking up food, it would be light to yell at them.

"You pick it up. If you don't pick it up, it's a waste. I'm different from them. I let people pick it up. The crops have been harvested, and I still want to come here to plow the field tomorrow. If you pick up grain, I can wait a few days. Come and plow." Lin Shen said with a smile.

"Let's pick it up." The two brothers said in unison.

"All these lands belong to him?" Liu Shuisheng was still verifying with the old carpenter.

The old carpenter laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "What's the advantage of lying to you, Shen'er bought eight yuan of high-quality land."

Liu Shuisheng: "Hey, how much does it cost for eight yuan of first-class field?"

"Not much, just over 100 taels." The old carpenter said cheerfully.

Liu Shuisheng looked at Lin Shen differently.

"Those people pick up his food, doesn't he care?"

Liu Shuisheng asked in disbelief.

Not only did Lin Shen ignore it, but he even picked it up for the two elder brothers, and asked about their family situation by the way.

"There are five brothers in my family. I am the eldest, and this is my third younger brother. My father and grandma are exhausted and can't afford to support us. We just want to go out and pick up some food, which can help reduce the burden on the family." The eldest explain.

Lin Shen gave them all the ears of rice he picked up.

The two gradually walked away.

Liu Shuisheng looked at him secretly: "There are so many fields, are you plowing alone?"

"Otherwise, I don't have the money to hire a helper." Lin Shen said with a smile.

Liu Shuisheng walked away disheartened.

"After going back, he will definitely tell the outside world. Your family will know right away that you bought eight yuan of fertile land in one go." The old carpenter couldn't help but said.

Lin Shen's expression was casual: "Speak as you like, your mouth grows on other people. I'm already mentally prepared, and the soldiers will come and bury them in the earth."

Liu Shuisheng couldn't hide the matter in his heart, so he immediately told Yuan Hehua about it.

"I didn't expect that there would be a day for Xianyu to turn around. I have such a vicious vision, and there will be a day when I miss it." After washing, Liu Shuisheng lay on the kang with nothing to love, and looked at the roof with his eyes open.

He only needs to pull the cart home, and he doesn't care about the rest.Several of his sons would take things off the car.

"If I had known that he turned over so quickly, I shouldn't have objected to the matter between him and Liu Gu. Why would he not want to send Liu Gu to my door?" Yuan Hehua's mood was also very complicated.

Just as he was talking, Liu Gu entered the house.

Yuan Hehua shouted: "Liu Gu, come here."

Liu Gu had just finished his work, and there was still a lot of straw on his body.Hearing Ah Mo shouting, he came over obediently.

Yuan Hehua didn't speak, but just told him to stand up straight, and looked him up and down, eyes that made Liu Gu very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter, huh?" Liu Gu asked timidly.

"Lin Sanlang is so good-looking, can you take a fancy to our Xiaogu?"

After looking at it, Yuan Hehua said without confidence.

"It's strange that I can see it. I didn't misunderstand it before. He said he doesn't like Xiaogu. What do you think? Anyone with long eyes won't like him. Look at his dejected appearance. Whoever wants it will be very unlucky." year." Liu Shuisheng gave Liu Gu a look of disdain.

Liu Gu lowered his head in low self-esteem, and scratched his fingers hard.

Yuan Hehua: "Seeing that Lin Sanlang is going to get up soon, there will definitely be many people who say goodbye to him. There are so many brothers in our family, I don't believe he doesn't like any of them."

"Didn't I say, is there any child you have who can catch your eye?" Liu Shuisheng started again.

Yuan Hehua became anxious when she heard this: "Can I survive alone? You are also involved in this. When I was young, I was also a flower in ten miles and eight villages. You couldn't catch my eyes at that time. If it wasn't for me... .”

Brother Liu pulled Liu Gu and quietly walked out of the house.

Liu Gu: "Is the Lin Sanlang mentioned by Dad and Ah Mo the one I think?"

"It's him, you didn't hear from my father that Lin Sanlang is going to make a fortune. He didn't have good land before, which means he didn't have a foundation in the village, and even brothers from good people looked down on him. Now it's different, he has eight dollars all at once. Liang Tian, ​​Dad and Ah Mo are trying to find a way to marry one of us to him." Fourth Brother Liu said with a smile.

Liu Gu was stunned.

Seeing his stupidity, Fourth Brother Liu couldn't help but push him: "Don't you understand? Lin Sanlang has become a favorite now. If anyone can marry him, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. This is our Opportunity."

Lin Shen is busy building a house, and the place where the animals live can't be sloppy.After accumulating previous experience, building a house is much easier this time.

Autumn is a busy season. Many people are too busy doing their own homework, so naturally they don't have time to come and join in the fun.There was only one person looking very leisurely, watching outside the yard for a long time with his hands behind his back.

The old carpenter found out and invited him to sit in the yard.

Xu Bai readily agreed.

He drank tea with the old carpenter and asked leisurely, "What kind of house is he building?"

"It is said that it is for cattle and sheep." The old carpenter said.

"I thought it was built by someone." Xu Bai laughed.

"No, he is soft-hearted, saying that cattle and sheep are also cold." The old carpenter blew on the froth on the tea and said.

Lin Shen worked in a leisurely manner, and when the time came, he washed his hands and went to the kitchen to cook.Xu Bai had the cheek to eat a meal, full of praise for Lin Shen's craftsmanship.

Lin Shen could sense that Xu Bai had been watching him secretly.He didn't think there was anything good about him, so he went with Xu Bai.

Two days later, Lin Shen crawled on the roof to work like a spiderman, and saw a carriage entering the village from a distance.

Not long after, Xu Bai led a group of people into the courtyard.

Xu Bai introduced to the old carpenter: "These are my relatives and friends who came here to play."

The old carpenter hurriedly made tea to entertain the guests.

An elderly Ah Mo said: "You don't have to be busy, let my family make tea, you sit here and talk with us."

The tone of voice is very kind, and the smile on his face is also very kind.

When the old carpenter was in a daze, a brother in Tsing Yi came over and took the teapot from him with a smile.

"Ying'er, come over and say hello to Uncle."

Ah Ma stretched out her hand and looked at Brother who was standing under a tree, looking up with his neck up.

Brother was wearing a bright pink dress, with a furry white cape on the outside, and his little white hands were tucked inside.He is very white, as white as a jade man, and his eyes are black, so clear that they can reflect all the autumn colors.

"Ah, it's fun here."

Xu Yingying was a happy little bird, with a smile on his face like he didn't know how to worry, he happily threw himself into the arms of the middle-aged man.

"Let's play for a while if it's fun, this is Uncle Liu." Ah Mo gave him a doting look, shook his tender white hand, and directed him to look at the old carpenter opposite.

The old carpenter saw that there was something wrong with the child and looked at it with a smile.

Xu Ying called obediently: "Hello, Uncle."

"Hello, hello." The old carpenter said with a smile.

Ah Ma called someone and took Xu Ying aside to play, so that he could talk to the old carpenter.

Xu Ying squatted on the ground and watched the ants move for a while, and then felt bored.Like a bird out of the cage, he ran happily to the back, believing that there were better things behind.

The servant quickly chased after him and said hurriedly: Brother, don't run around. "

Lin Shen was in the backyard. He had already built the roof, and all that was left was to lay the tiles, and that was it.

Xu Ying ran very fast, and suddenly braked suddenly, and the servant running behind almost ran into him.

"Brother, you—" the servant was about to speak.

Xu Ying said: "Who are you?"

Lin Shen's face was covered with mud, and his clothes were stained with dirt. He looked very embarrassed.

Hearing the voice, he turned his face slowly, met Xu Ying's bright eyes, smiled and said, "My name is Lin Shen."

"My name is Xu Ying. Ying, Ming Ye." Xu Ying leaned on the wall with her tender little hands, her eyes were soft like some kind of small animal.

"Ming Ye, I remember." Lin Shen imitated his tone and nodded.

"Can you build a house?" Xu Ying pointed to the half-built house.

"I'm not very good at it. I built it randomly, and it's not very good." Lin Shen said.

"Very well, I don't even know how to build it. After you finish building it, can I live in it?" Xu Ying tilted her head and looked at him innocently.

Xu Bai stood in the corner, listening quietly.

"You, you are the rose in the greenhouse. This kind of house is not suitable for you to live in. It is for animals." Lin Shen said softly.

"Then where do I live?" Xu Ying asked blankly.

He seems to have a hundred thousand reasons, his head is full of questions.

"You should live in a bright and big house, where someone loves you and pampers you, and you should be protected from wind and rain all your life, and be happy every day." Lin Shen said with a smile.

"You are so kind." Xu Ying said happily.

"What's so good about it?" Lin Shen asked him.

"They all said I was a fool, but you didn't say so, and your eyes were very gentle, as warm as the sun." Xu Ying's language expression ability was limited, and he racked his brains to speak out.

"Seeing you, anyone will become gentle." Lin Shen said.

Xu Bai took a breath and raised his voice, "Yingying, where are you?"

"Brother, I'm here." Xu Ying jumped up and said.

Xu Bai came out from the corner, squinted his eyes and glanced at Lin Shen.

Lin Shen squatted on the ground and worked with a pot of mud, which was about to stick to the wall in a while.

"Still busy?" Xu Bai walked over and said.

"Well. I'm going up soon, you'd better not stay here, there will be mud falling down, it's not good to get your clothes dirty." Lin Shen said with downcast eyes.

"You have been working for a long time, don't you want to take a break?" Xu Bai said with a smile.

"No, rest after work." Lin Shen said.

Xu Bai had no choice but to pull Xu Ying away.

After coaxing for a long time, Xu Ying refused to leave, and insisted on standing not far away to watch.

Lin Shen climbed onto the roof and wiped off the remaining mud.

After half an hour, Lin Shen came down.

When he came down, he had become a clay figurine.

He ran to the front with the bucket, startling the guests in front.

Ah Mo immediately stood up and said in surprise, "Who is this?"

"This is Shen'er, who is building a house behind." The old carpenter said.

Lin Shen smiled, showing his moon teeth: "I'll go wash it."

"Go." The old carpenter urged him.

Ah Ma glanced at Xu Bai, Xu Bai smiled and nodded, the two of them didn't know what they were talking about.

The old carpenter doesn't tell the truth when he sees it through, just pretends that he doesn't know anything.

After taking a bath, Lin Shen shivered from the cold.If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he wouldn't have taken this extra bath.

The old carpenter went in, saw him sitting on the kang in a daze, and said with a smile, "Cold?"

"I almost froze to death." Lin Shen sneezed and said helplessly, "What do these people do?"

"I came to see you. That stupid child belongs to the Xu family. Maybe Xu Bai is very optimistic about you. Even if he was rejected, he refused to give up. He even called his parents to come and see you together." The old carpenter said.

Lin Shen opened the closet and changed clothes slowly.

The old carpenter said, "It will look better if you change your body."

"There's nothing to look at." Lin Shen paused, and said helplessly, "You know I just want to live a good life right now, and I don't think too much about it."

"Then you should also change into a good-looking one, and then reject them." The old carpenter said.

"Forget it, it's too deliberate." Lin Shen said.

After changing clothes and going out, Xu Bo's eyes changed obviously, and she whispered to Xu Bo: "So handsome, too handsome, and hardworking, that's great, I'm afraid people won't watch the show."

Xu Bai glanced at Xu Ying, who had already rushed over.

"Little brother—" Xu Ying said.

Lin Shen also reached out his hand to stop him, worried that he would fall if he ran too far.

"Be careful, the road is not smooth."

Xu Ying said, "You have become clean."

Lin Shen sat obediently beside the old carpenter.

Ah Mo looked him up and down, satisfied with how he looked.

"I heard from Xiaobai that you can still cook?"

"Know it a little bit, it can't be compared with the chef of a restaurant." Lin Shen said.

"Can we have the meal you cook yourself?" Ah Mo asked again.

Everyone said it out, but Lin Shen couldn't refuse it directly. He could only say: "There is nothing good at home."

"Don't worry about this, we brought it with us." Ah Ma waved his hand, and those people began to move things down, including meat and vegetables.

Lin Shen looked stiff.

The old carpenter snickered and said, "Go and cook."

He didn't even need the help of an old carpenter to cook the fire, and someone helped wash the dishes. Lin Shen only needed to cut the meat and fry it in the pan.

Efficiency has increased and meals are on the table quickly.

"It smells good." Ah Mo said, sniffling.

"It tastes better." The old carpenter said with a smile.

"Ah, stop talking, I'm starving to death." Xu Ying said.

Ah Mo said with a smile: "Okay, let's stop talking, let's eat."

After the meal, several people were full of praise for Lin Shen's cooking skills.

"I'm quite satisfied with this kid. No matter what he was like before, I just look at him now. You can ask him if he is interested in Ying'er?" Ah Mo whispered to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai went to ask Lin Shen.

Lin Shen said bluntly: "It's not that your brother is bad, it's that I have someone I like. Like Xu Ying, he is suitable for living in a greenhouse, and he is not something a rough man like me can afford. I appreciate your kindness." Yes, it's just... I'm sorry, if you go to someone else, there must be someone suitable for him."

Ji Bai looked disappointed: "I know that we are being forced by others, but please understand my parents' feelings. Maybe in the eyes of others, my younger brother is a fool, but he is also our heart. It stands to reason that you are so kind. , whether it's appearance or personality, they are all top-notch among these people. My brother should find someone who is more ordinary, but parents want the best for their children..."

Xu Bai talked a lot, but Lin Shen expressed his understanding.

Hearing Xu Bo say that Lin Shen was unwilling, the expression on Ah Mo's face was clearly unhappy.

"Did you tell him, what do we give Ying'er as a dowry?"

"I didn't say that." Xu Bai shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "I don't think he will be tempted because of the rich dowry, and you think that this kind of person will really reflect on it because of the rich dowry?"

"But he is the first person who doesn't look at Yingying with strange eyes. I will die one day, and I won't be able to take care of Yinger for the rest of my life. I just want to entrust Yinger to an honest and reliable person who can take care of him for the rest of my life. I'm willing to die." Ah Mo said sadly.

Seeing that he was very persistent, Xu Bai did not stop him.

The middle-aged man came to Lin Shen and listed many favorable conditions.

Lin Shen shook his head: "I don't have what I want now, and I will earn it in the future, so I don't need others to give it to me."

"Miss this opportunity, and you may live a very hard life for the rest of your life—"

Lin Shen: "No, I won't be like this all my life. For the sake of my beloved, I will try my best to make him live a better life."

Ah Ma was stunned: "It turns out that you have someone you like."

Lin Shen did not deny it.

After getting into the carriage, Ah Mo's face was full of disappointment.

Xu Ying was still turning her head to look at Lin Shen outside: "Little brother, goodbye."

Ah Mo pulled him back and quietly told him to sit down.

The old carpenter said: "I heard that the Xu family gave half of their wealth to brother Xu Bai as a dowry. Will you regret it in the future?"

"No, no matter how much money there is, it's still a dowry. A capable man will not touch his wife's dowry." Lin Shen said.

The old carpenter smiled and said, "You can think about it. Many people don't think so. They just take it for granted that what my wife brought is mine."

Lin Shen put on his old clothes and went to work again.

He hired a donkey's cart and brought back several carts of tiles.

From morning to night, he was busy laying tiles on the roof.

Little did he know, subtle changes were taking place in the village.

First of all, the news that Lin Shen owned eight fertile fields spread throughout the village.

Lin He couldn't sit still: "My brother, Mr. Lin has eight fertile fields, and they are all fertile fields. How is this possible?"

"I heard that they bought it from someone else's house, and bought it in one go." Zhang Xiaoke inquired clearly.

"How long has it been? Where did he earn so much money?" Lin He was puzzled.

Zhang Xiaoke had a cold face: "You used to look down on him, but now he is much better than you. At least he can earn eight yuan of fertile land in a short period of time, which is convincing."

Lin He got anxious all of a sudden, stood up and said, "What do you mean? I can't be as good as him? What a joke, everyone knows that he is the most useless person in my family. He was not raised by the family before, so can he go to college to study?" ? He is famous outside, which is based on our pain. Oh, now that he is up, will he not recognize his relatives?"

"You have always liked to brag about how powerful you are. Up to now, you have not done anything earth-shattering. On the contrary, your third brother did things quietly, which made people admire." Zhang Xiaoke packed up his things, took the child's hand and walked out .

Lin He asked angrily, "Where are you taking the child?"

"Going back to my mother's house, my mother is going to give my younger brother a blind date. I will go back to help with the match. I won't be back for a few days." Zhang Xiaoke said.

...
