Stingy Husband Farming

The matter of Shen Mu recruiting a family member also aroused discussion in the village for a period of time.However, hot filial piety and marriage have existed since ancient times. Even if some people wanted to pay attention to a few words, after the day when Shen Laoer brought people to make a fuss, everyone knew why Shen Mu was in a hurry to recruit a son-in-law, but there were fewer people talking. .This is exactly what Shen Qingshan expected.

It's just that everyone is very curious about the son-in-law Shen Mu recruited.What's more, those who saw Song Bai from a distance that day, all boasted that his appearance was beyond heaven and earth, it was as if Pan An was reborn and Song Yu was reborn!It made people who hadn't seen it scratch their hearts and lungs, but because they were still at the village chief's house, no one dared to come to the door at will.

And the Shen family on the other side was still in the midst of filial piety, it was even more difficult to come to ask such gossip, which added a bit of mystery to Song Bai.

Fortunately, Song Bai didn't keep everyone's appetite for too long.Shen Lao Er brought people from the rich man's family to rob people and delayed the construction period of the house for a day, and Shen Qingshan and the others went to work the next day.At noon on the third day, the house was built, and I deliberately left an afternoon free to bring Song Bai over on a stretcher and guide them to work on the kang.

This stretcher is a simple version that Song Bai directed the village head's two sons to build at the village head's house. It is made of a few old trousers that are no longer worn, and two wooden sticks that are as tall as a man and as thick as a man's arms. Combination of twine.After taking it apart after use, those old clothes and trousers did not delay Fang's dismantling and continued to paste the soles.

Recycling, no more savings.

Song Bai's leg injury is not serious at all.

No tendons or bones were injured, just a deep gash was cut by something like a sharp stone. It stands to reason that it would not be a big deal if the scab formed.The people in the village are all skinny, and when they injured their legs, they went to the ground with a stick. No one has ever used a stretcher.

But Song Bai's cut was extremely long, from the knee down to the ankle, spanning the entire calf.A lot of blood was shed on the mountain.When I arrived at the village head's house, I managed to take care of it for a long time, but I didn't know which muscle was involved in the wound. As long as the calf was exerted while walking, the wound would immediately stretch open.

I don't know which blood vessel was injured in the wound, as long as it is stretched open, blood will inevitably rush out.Song Bai wanted to go to the ground a long time ago. He tried it a few times at the village head's house. The wound would be stretched within a few steps, and then blood would flow out. Even Song Bai himself was helpless, so he stopped "provoking" the wound , Lie honestly on the bed every day, and wait for the wound to heal completely before talking about other things.

But that day when the steward of the rich man's house came to marry Shen Mu, Song Bai was invited by the village head to the hall - he had to hide his face, otherwise how could the village head make people believe that Shen Mu really has a husband with his mouth?

Even though Song Bai had been careful and careful, the two sons of the village chief supported him back and forth.But just a few taps of the toes on the ground still opened up the wound a little bit, and when I changed the dressing at night, I saw a fresh red color on the bandage.

After raising it for two days, it finally grew well again, and they dare not let Song Bai go to the ground again.

As soon as Song Bai said to use the torn clothes and hemp rope to make a stretcher, Shen Qingshan and Fang Shi agreed on the spot, and Fang Shi also said: "This wound really can't be stretched anymore, otherwise wouldn't all the eggs I eat every day be in vain? Xiao Mu will be heartbroken if she finds out." I don't know whether she means Xiao Mu wants to feel sorry for Song Bai's leg or for eating eggs for nothing.

Not only Shen Mu felt distressed, Song Bai also felt sorry for those lost support (ji) points (dan).

Only then did the stretcher come into being.

But as soon as the stretcher was moved, the villagers were shocked again.

What!The man who entered Shen Mu's family was actually a paralytic? ?

Even the people who met Song Bai at the door of Shen Qingshan's house before hesitated: "It shouldn't be a paralytic... right... I saw him stand up that day. But it is true that the youngest son of the village chief's family is supporting him."

It's not a paralyzed person but someone lifts it... Is that a broken leg?

There is really no one in the village who has a small leg injury and is carried away by others. They are all really bad at walking, or even dying.

So without Song Bai's knowledge, the legend about him set off an even bigger upsurge in the village.The big girls and young ladies who were a little envious and envious of such a handsome husband were also relieved, and even sympathized with Shen Mu again: No matter how good your appearance is, you can't stand a lame/paralyzed person!Life is not like eating.

He even thought to himself in a panic when there was such a good thing: Is it more difficult to be with a paralyzed person, or is it more unlucky to be a servant?

……

For the kang, we had to go to the river to dig clay. Fortunately, we also used clay to build a house. A few peasants went to the river to dig a lot these days, and they brought it when they went to work. There was still a lot left .

Not just clay, but also sand and black soil.Otherwise, once the sun shines, the mud bricks that come out of the blank will crack.There is not much black soil here, but fortunately, there is no need to mix too much, and clay is mainly used.

The work of panning the kang is not too tiring, at least compared to building a house, it is simply easy, mainly because the craftsmanship is rare.What's more, this ancient craftsmanship is the foundation of one's life, and no one will pass it on to the outside world.Even teaching apprentices is reserved: Didn’t you listen to the old saying, the apprentices are taught and the master starves to death!

But Song Bai just knows how to do it.

A few big men were peeling off the mud under the sun, while Song Bai and Shen Mu hid in the shade under the eaves, and they shared a basket of oranges.

Shen Mu knew that Song Bai was coming today, so he got up early to pick the oranges on the mountain.

At this time, the oranges had just come down, and they were still green-skinned.But the children in the village have no snacks, so they are very happy to eat an orange with a taste in their mouth, and they all like to go to the mountains to pick oranges.

Shen Mu went to pick them when he was a child, but now that he is older, he has picked them less, mainly because wild oranges cannot be sold for money, so he has no motivation to pick them.

The taste of the wild oranges on the mountain is uneven, and they are not ripe, so it is just a matter of luck.Whoever eats the sweet ones will be as happy as picking up money, and then share the sweet oranges with each other.When they encountered sour ones, both of them were thrifty, even if they were too sour, they were reluctant to throw them away, and put them on the other side of the basket. Song Bai said that they could go back and make canned oranges.

Shen Mu stared at Song Bai, with admiration on his face: "Brother Bai, you know everything, you are too good." He gestured to the man who was out of mud: "You can even cook a kang. Like this The job should be the same as that of a carpenter, so it’s not easy to spread the word?”

Having said that, Shen Mu pondered carefully: "Could it be that Brother Bo, your family is a kang craftsman?"

Song Bai was stunned, and swallowed the orange in his mouth: "No..." He thought for a while, but he still couldn't remember what his family did, but he did have an impression of the kang. "...At that time...it seemed that my family bought a new house in the county, but my mother was not used to sleeping, and still liked the kang in the village, so my father hired a craftsman to make a kang at home."

Shen Mu was a little curious: "This is usually not for people to see, right?" Suddenly he remembered the information mentioned in Song Bai's words: "Have you remembered something? Can you remember which county it is?"

"I can't remember these..." Song Bai shook his head: "Why are you more anxious than me, who has amnesia?" Song Bai pretended to show a hurt expression: "You are hoping that I will remember, so that you can send me back ? Well, Shen's second matter is settled, I'm useless, you just want to throw me away."

Seeing Song Bai's somewhat hurt expression, Shen Mu's heart was about to crumble.If this person was bought in the town, Shen Mu, a small fortune fan, would really have the idea to resell the person, or ask Ren Yazi to return the product or something... But this is Song Bai, how could he be willing to return it? !

"No, I didn't, I didn't say that!" Shen Mu waved his hands again and again: "I, I am..."

I'm just curious about your past.What kind of life did you live in the past, who did you meet, I want to know everything.

Shen Mu didn't know how to describe such a mood, he couldn't open his mouth in a murmur, and went to look at Song Bai with stealthy eyes.Song Bai touched his head, and said with a smile: "I was joking with you. But if I think about it in the future, if I have a bad family background or something else, you can't dislike me, or I will cry." Song Bai said with a smile.

Shen Mu was very solemn: "Don't worry!"

This kid is so funny.Song Bai sighed in his heart. In fact, he was very satisfied in his heart, and continued to talk about the pan kang: "I still vaguely remember that my family is not poor anyway, haha, I will not let you suffer. So the craftsman of the pan kang did not Beware of me, maybe he wouldn't think that I would want to learn this."

It's really that the craftsman who made the kang was too shady, and actually asked for ten taels of silver for a kang. If you were in the village, find a few villagers who knew how to make a kang, and it would be a lot to give you a tael of silver!Song Bai thought to himself, this craftsman is still eating and drinking at his house.And his father is even more obsessed with lust, his mother agrees to any request without saying a word, and usually spends money even more extravagantly. If he insists on finding a professional with outstanding kang skills, he will give it for ten taels of silver. Not counter-offer.

For ten taels of silver, only one kang was sold, which belonged to his parents' house.The three of them have nothing...

The craftsman on the kang didn't expect that such a young master would fall in love with his craftsmanship. He only thought that the young Song Bai saw everything new, and with the mentality of pleasing the master, he didn't stop Song Bai from watching .

So the young Song Bai silently memorized the method of heating the kang, and backhandedly installed the kang in the houses of his three brothers and sisters.He completely ignored his little sister's good wishes that she didn't want to sleep on the kang at all, but wanted to sleep on a beautiful canopy bed.

This is equivalent to getting three kangs for free and 30 taels of silver!It took ten taels to go to the house of my parents, and I earned 20 taels!

The young Song Bai was delighted.There is such a prodigal father, younger brother, and younger sister. As the eldest son, he doesn't worry too much. No matter how much money the family has, they will spend it all.

The young Song Bai lamented that he had a great responsibility, a heavy responsibility, and a long way to go.

……

Ten years later, in Shenjiatun, he set up another kang.It's like earning another twelve taels.That's 30 taels.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to sit on the kang! Young Song Bai is even more elated.

"Looking back, the kang pan in our house is good, and it is very useful. Not to mention sleeping warm in winter, it will be September in just two days, and it's time to harvest grain. It can be used to bake food." Song Bai said.Ah, it would be better if the virtues of his kang are well-known. At that time, he can give the kang to others and earn back several times the money he spent in the past!

Shen Mu didn't realize his point, and his attention fell on other places: "Huh? The rice hasn't been harvested in September, the spring wheat has just been harvested, and the second crop of rice will be harvested in October." It was indeed cold at that time, and the sunshine time was not as long as in summer, so it took more time to dry the grain than in May.But the problem is...

"Second crop?" Song Bai was taken aback for a moment, then slapped his forehead: "I forgot about this crop, this place is more south, and it's grown twice a year!"

That's great. For a grain business in his family, what could be more exciting than collecting more grain? !

……Huh?Can you open food at home?
