Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 239 Chapter 239

"Sister-in-law, it's unnecessary, right? Besides, even if someone does the work, it's not so easy to bring the water over."

Li Changqiang actually didn't want to refute. In the past, he would have done what he said, but after working hard for half a year, he also knew that his cousins ​​and sisters-in-law were very good people.

And he could also see that the cousin and sister-in-law didn't really know much about growing crops. After all, the cousin had been at the border before. As for the cousin, she seemed to be too?

At least what Li Changhui said was brought back from outside.

Seeing Li Changqiang's embarrassed face, Lin He thought to himself, is there anything else he hasn't considered?

"Tell me carefully, what is the embarrassment?"

It's definitely not because of the money. Money, even if Li Changqiang doesn't know how much they have, but how much Li Changsheng charges at Malatang every day, he will probably talk about it when he gets home.

Among other things, there must be no shortage of wages.

In the past six months, they often find people to do short-term work, and the work is much more than they imagined before. Even Li Changqiang's wages have increased a little.

Is that another reason?
Li Changqiang barely thought about it, and explained the reason: "Sister-in-law, coming from the other side of the river, there are many other people's fields on the way, there are only some fields with small roads, and there is no way to dig ditches."

He often goes there to fetch water, and the situation along the way is even more clear.

"If it's anything else, we can still discuss and find a way, but this, no one is willing to let someone occupy their land to dig a canal."

Li Changqiang shook his head while talking, not just others, even he is not willing, less land, less food, less food for the family.

"It turned out to be this." Lin He breathed a sigh of relief: "If it's just this, it's okay. If you give some compensation, or buy the occupied land, it should be okay."

I thought my proposal was very good, but Li Changqiang continued to shake his head.

Li Changqiang thought about it, and then said his suggestion.

"Sister-in-law, I think it's better to just dig a pond. In summer, it's the same to divert the water from the ditch on the mountain."

Lin He was a little surprised: "Can it be done without diverting water from the river?"

Li Changqiang nodded and pointed to the distant hillside: "There is a ditch on the mountain over there, which should be left when it rains. There is less rain in winter and more rain in summer."

To be honest, it was the first time for Lin He to see Li Changqiang talking so much.

As far as today's talk is concerned, there are more words than what I said to her in the previous month.

I have to admit that she is still a lot worse when it comes to things in the field.

"That line, I really don't understand it very well. How about you help choose a suitable place to dig a pond. It doesn't matter if it's not our own land. It's better to be a wasteland. After you choose it, you can buy it again."

Li Changqiang quickly agreed, Lin He explained a few more words, and took the child home first.

Li Yu happened to be tired from reading, so she came to help fetch water and wash vegetables. Hearing Lin He talk about digging a pond, she even volunteered to help dig a pond.

Lin He laughed: "You don't study hard, why do you want to go to work? Digging ponds is not an easy job, and you are very tired."

Li Yu said, "I know. I just want to help out. I don't have much to do at home all day. I still have a month to go to school next year."

Lin He thought about it, indeed, they are not in the village now, nor did they grow up in the town since they were young. They have been in the college for the past six months, and they have no other friends except their classmates.

It's really boring to stay at home every day.

"That's all right, wait for your cousin to look after the place and find a good person. If you are free, go help, but don't overwork, children, don't hurt your body, they won't grow tall."

Li Yu took it down carefully, and after washing the dishes, he went to help boil the water. Lin He sighed in his heart, Li Changhui's example is really good.

Regardless of whether the children in the family belong to him or not, they all imitate Li Changhui's behavior, do everything by himself, be patient, not irritable, and don't like to be idle.

When Li Changhui came back, Lin He was already ready to kill the fish.

"So many?" Lin He was surprised to see Li Changhui put down the back basket, and filled it up: "It's winter, where did you get so many prey?"

Besides the usual pheasants and hares, how many porcupines, two raccoons, and even two wild geese?
"Aren't wild geese migrating? Why are there wild geese in winter?"

It's still quite cold here. She remembered that when autumn came, she saw wild geese flying over from the sky.

"It is estimated that they were left behind. I have encountered them before. Some wild geese are playful and forget to follow. After being left behind, they can't find the way to go back."

Li Changhui sorted the prey on the ground and asked his wife and children to watch slowly, while he took a clean cloth towel.

First wipe off the blood stains on the arrows, then use emery cloth to polish the arrows finely, and then wipe them evenly with gauze cloth dipped in special ointment.

He cherishes his bows and arrows very much. Every time they are used up, they will be carefully cleaned and maintained so that they can be used directly next time and can be stored for a longer period of time.

"Brother Hui, I will save a rabbit and a pheasant to eat tomorrow, and I will make some air-dried chicken. Well, I will also keep one wild goose, and sell the rest to the restaurant. Our family can't eat so much."

Lin He picked out the leftovers, stewed a pheasant, a wild goose, roasted a rabbit tomorrow, and then fried some other meat and vegetables, basically it was almost the same.

Li Changhui didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll send it to Shopkeeper Liu in a while."

The one who has cooperated with them the most this year is shopkeeper Liu of Fulin Restaurant. Half of the taro before was sold to him.

Of course, the other half, the grocery store collected some, sold some to the villagers as seeds, and they kept some for themselves.

After Lin He sorted out the prey he needed, he asked Li Yu to continue boiling water. Ten pheasants were used to make air-dried chicken, plus there was a lot to eat tomorrow.

"By the way, Brother Hui, I'll go to Chang Qiang this afternoon and ask him to help find some people. I want to dig a pond."

"That's good, it's convenient to water in the future, but I plan to buy some paddy fields in the next year, and I always feel that the food grown by myself is better."

Since the grain harvested in their own fields, they have never eaten grain bought outside.

In the past, Li Changhui was still a little puzzled, why Lin He kept all the food in the family, and even sold the food to pay taxes, he just felt strange and didn't ask much.

But when I ate my own food, I finally realized that it was also brown rice, but the home-grown rice was much tastier, just like the vegetables in the field.

I can't tell where it is delicious, but it just feels different.
