Chapter 43 Zhang Zelin's Depression Part One
Zhang Zelin heard his wife said that he bought more grain and put it in the cellar. He wanted to see how much he had bought, so he took his wife to see.

When she arrived in the cellar, she felt dizzy and her legs were weak, she swallowed and asked, "wife master, how much money did you spend.

"Hey! This isn't the money for selling sika deer. I forgot to give it to you. I bought some more today."

"Wife master, you...!" Zhang Zelin was so angry that he said several times about you. After selling two deer that day, he saw that his wife did not give him any money, and he never thought about taking it with his wife. I didn't expect, I didn't expect this prodigal girl to buy so much rice and flour back.

What's even more irritating is that I bought half a bucket of sugar, which is one tael of silver per catty!It costs more than ten taels to buy half a bucket. Does the wife know that this ten taels of silver is enough for a poor family to live for a year or two. . .

Seeing the speechless man in anger, Fang Qing hurried into his arms. "Brother Lin, I want our family to have more surplus food, and I don't want you to worry about whether there is enough food at home."

Zhang Zelin was choked up by Fang Qing's words, "Even if this is the case, the wife doesn't have to buy so much rice and white noodles. Rice and white noodles are so expensive! And this sugar costs one or two silver a catty!"

"Not expensive!"

Zhang Zelin heard his wife said that these things are not expensive for them to buy, and he felt sweet when he heard this.

The husband and wife went back to the yard after talking.Zhang Zelin smiled happily and went to the kitchen to find his three younger brothers and prepare dinner for tonight.

Fang Qing went to the barn to take out the geese and chickens. "Brother Lin, you can boil some water for killing geese later!"

Zhang Zelin, Zhang Ze'an, Zhang Yidan (third cousin), Zhang Yunlan (fourth cousin), and the four brothers were whispering in the kitchen when they heard shouts from outside and came out to watch.

"My wife, didn't I ask you to buy two chickens? Why did you buy a goose?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat? So I bought a few more."

Zhang Zelin just wanted to roll his eyes when he heard her words, there was a family that asked someone to help eat so much meat, his wife said that the meal tonight was better than other people's.

Zhang Ze'an and his two cousins ​​on the side felt that my brother-in-law had bought too much. My brother-in-law already had other meat at home, and now he bought geese and chickens. However, my brother-in-law is the eldest brother's wife. Let's see if my brother will kill and eat according to his brother-in-law, or keep it for raising.

"My wife, I already have air-dried roe deer meat at home... You bought goose and chicken again, so there are too many meat dishes tonight."

"Not much, you can cook the meat at home, these five geese are used for stir-fry tonight, these three chickens are used for soup, and you can watch the other dishes."

"Okay! I know how to do it." Zhang Zelin finished talking to his wife, and he calculated the meat dishes that he needed to cook tonight.

Seeing a few men getting busy, Fang Qing said something if she had nothing to do.

"Brother Lin, you guys are busy, I'll go to the field to have a look."

Zhang Zelin thought about what grandma said when the brothers went to the field just now.

"My wife, our melon seedlings may not be enough to plant three acres of land. Grandma asked them to plant them thinner so that the melons can grow well."

Fang Qing thought about her own melon seedlings. She bought two watermelons at first, and then bought two more during the two days of chopping firewood. The melon seedlings grown from four watermelon seeds were not enough to plant three acres of land.

When she went to the field and saw that everyone was busy, Zhang Xin saw her coming and walked in front of her.

"Girl Qing, I have already told Zhou Zhiwei and Qian Daya that Qian Daya's family looks after melon fields, and Zhou Zhiwei's family herds cattle."

"Aunt Xin made a deal with them, let them come to work tomorrow." Fang Qing didn't expect that she would only go to the city, and Zhang Xin had already made an agreement with these two families for her.

"Qian Daya said that she will stay here at night."

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Fang Qing felt that it was only planted today, and there was no need to guard it tonight.

Zhang Xin saw that she looked like she didn't need to be guarded, but she was helpless. This girl really didn't understand farm work. Like her valuable melon seedlings were planted in the field and no one was guarding them. Those who have nothing to do all day would come to steal .

"Since the melons are planted in the ground, they need to be guarded. We have made such a big move today. I am worried that those blind things in other villages will come to play tricks."

Fang Qing thought it didn't matter, seeing Zhang Xin's serious face, he had no choice but to ask Qian Daya to start work tonight.After the two finished talking, she went to see the planted land.

My dear, it’s a good thing the old lady told them to plant more thinly, otherwise the watermelon would grow into a pile according to their pit of five grains.

"Girl Qing, look at how it's going to work." Mrs. Zhang saw her daughter-in-law coming, and came over to talk to her daughter-in-law beaming.

"Grandma, the gap you let them separate is just right."

Mrs. Zhang laughed when her daughter-in-law said that the gap was just right. "Grandma, I planted pumpkins. I was thinking after you left just now! This melon will grow up to grow vines, and the vines will grow everywhere like pumpkin vines, so I decided to let them plant it. Some."

Fang Qing thinks the old saying is true, there is an old man in a family; if there is a treasure, the old man's life experience is not comparable to that of young people.

After she had a few words with Mrs. Zhang, she went to help the fence. She saw that the house had been erected and the fence was half-enclosed.

"Girl Qing, you're back!" Zhang Meng smiled when he saw his niece and daughter-in-law coming to help.

"Auntie, I'm back. Didn't I come to work with you just after I came back." Fang Qing heard Zhang Meng's voice, and she smiled and said to help.

At Youshi (17:00-19:00 p.m.), she went to the field and saw that there was still an acre of land that hadn't been planted, and the woman's side was still short of a part of the bamboo that didn't fill the melon field. She thought it was getting late and she could let them go back. , do it again tomorrow.

Fang Qing walked up to Mrs. Zhang. "Grandma, it's getting late, let them go back and do it tomorrow."

"Should we let them go back now?" Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter-in-law suspiciously when she heard what she said. If any family in the village didn't come home until dark, this girl let them go back before dawn.

"No matter how late the planting is, the rest of the land will be planted. What's more, everyone has been tired all day. Now they don't have much energy. Let them continue to work. It's better to let them go back to rest earlier. After resting, they can finish their work in half a day tomorrow." .”

Mrs. Zhang fell into deep thought after listening to the words of the granddaughter-in-law. They work until night every day, and they feel very tired and don’t want to move when they go home. information, but can't remember what it is.

Forget it, if you can't think of it, then don't think about it. Maybe the idea will pop up again some other day. After the thought that popped up, she agreed with the granddaughter-in-law to let everyone go back.

The old lady Zhang, who was not entangled, walked up to her sons-in-law with her hands behind her back and said, "Boss, second child, third child, and the new sister Fei's family, you sisters, let everyone take the melon seedlings in the baskets. After planting, let everyone go back!"
