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

Chapter 79

The uncle's family also has an ox cart. When going to the market, they will take the villagers to the town. Naturally, they leave early in the morning. After Xiuli feeds the pigs, the eldest aunt will come back.

Uncle still has to go to the town to pull other people, after all, the ox cart is a round-trip package.

This money is not easy to earn, Lin He thought.

"Xiaohe is here, have you eaten yet?" the eldest aunt asked with a smile when she saw Lin He.

"After eating with my aunt, has my uncle not come back yet? I want to discuss something with you."

The eldest aunt put the things she had bought back into the house, Xiuling poured her a bowl of warm water, and the few of them sat under the eaves, the sun was warm and comfortable to bask in.

"Are you going to catch chickens? You can only do this at night. They have been released today, and they are running around. It is not easy to catch them. When they return to their nests at night, I will ask Changsheng to send them to you."

"It's not this auntie. I want to ask, has your family planted the land by the river?"

"By the river?" The aunt thought for a while.

"Several pieces of land in our family are near the river, and most of them have been planted. Now only the downstream is flooded every summer when the water rises. I haven't figured out what to plant today."

Lin He regained his energy in an instant: "That's it, Auntie, if you don't grow it, can you rent it to us temporarily this year?"

"You want to plant? Plant seedlings? Although the land is always flooded, it is not suitable for planting seedlings. The terrain is too low, and even the seedlings will be completely submerged, and there is no water storage, so it is not suitable for planting seedlings."

They also tried planting rice seedlings before, but it didn't work at all, especially when it was about to mature, when there was a heavy rain and the river rose, when it subsided, all the rice fell to the ground, and there was no harvest at all.

However, Lin He felt that the more he listened, the more he felt that the taro needs a lot of watering in the middle and late stages, but it also needs to be well drained for a better harvest.

As for the ones on the mountain, they are just accumulated over the years. If they are planted properly, they will definitely grow better.

"Auntie, I don't plant rice seedlings. Let's plant something else, so we won't be afraid of being soaked in water. If your house is not needed for the time being, you can rent it to us. I'll ask Brother Hui to go to the town to find a government office to write a lease."

Lin He and Li Changhui knew that the fields in the village were generally planted indiscriminately. Some people were thick-skinned and planted other people's land. After a long time, they felt that it was their own.

Or some people leased the land to others, and when they saw that the crops were planted well, they took it back as their own.

So she directly chose to write the lease clearly, in black and white, and then went to the Yamen for a notarization, so that both parties can rest assured.

And if she said it herself, the eldest aunt can rest assured that it will not hurt the face of both parties.

The auntie waved her hand: "That's not what I mean, the land is not big, and we don't have much to plant right now. If you want to plant, just use it first."

Lin He thought about it for a while and understood that the eldest aunt probably felt embarrassed to write the lease, for fear of appearing ostentatious.

This is often the case among relatives. Many things are too business-like, and they will lose their affection.

After a pause, Lin He said again: "How about this, Auntie, why don't you discuss it with Uncle at noon, if you really don't need that piece of land, can you sell it to us?"

According to the auntie, that piece of land is indeed a bit tasteless to them.

But for Lin He, it is a very suitable place to grow taro. If it can be sold directly, it will save a lot of troubles that may arise later.

When the eldest aunt heard this, she hurriedly said: "Xiaohe, what do you want to plant? The land is really difficult to take care of. It is prone to waterlogging and drought. In the past, I planted some corn, and the seeds may not be recovered."

When flocculation was coming out in summer, when it rained, the river rose and it was flooded. Even under normal circumstances, the water level would recede the next day, but there was still no harvest.

Just collect some corn stalks to feed the cows.

It's useless to go in.

But if you don’t plant it, you always feel that such a piece of land is wasted.

And that piece of land is a little dry in spring and autumn, but in summer it's okay, it's not stuffy, but in summer it's flooded every now and then, what kind of crops can stand it.

This is what my aunt is worried about. Whether it is renting or selling, she always feels that she is cheating others.

Xiuling next to her suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Sister-in-law, don't you want to grow lotus roots?"

The lotus root grows in the water, so it is not afraid of flooding.

Unexpectedly, the eldest aunt still shook her head: "That won't work, the land doesn't store water, the water can't be closed, and the lotus root can't be planted."

A field of water is drained in less than a day, how can the lotus root survive?
Xiuling was surprised: "Mom, you guys have also planted lotus roots?"

The eldest aunt nodded: "That's not true. I used to do everything in order not to waste that field."

"I planted wheat in autumn and winter. I thought it would be harvested in May and June of the next year, and it would not be flooded. However, the land was so barren, and there was not much harvest from planting wheat, and there was not enough money to buy seeds."

As they spoke, they shook their heads regretfully. Obviously, so far, they haven't figured out what to plant.

Lin He thought to himself, this is simply reserved for them.

Among other things, the land is close to the river, so it is convenient to carry water for irrigation. When the taro really grows, it needs to be watered in large quantities every now and then.

Thinking of this, Lin He became even more determined: "Auntie, don't worry, I really want to do something, and I won't waste the grain."

After she said this, the eldest aunt couldn't continue to refuse, she just stood up.

"Since that's the case, then I won't stop you. Rent or buy, let's say goodbye for now. You plant it for a year first. If you still want to buy or rent, then sell it to you."

"Let's go, I'll take you to get acquainted with the land. It's going to be April soon. What do you want to plant, you have to clean it up."

Lin He happily followed the child with his arms in his arms, and Xiuling picked him up before leaving the yard.

Let them go by themselves, and the children will take it at home by themselves.

Lin He was feeling a little tired, so he didn't refuse.

On the contrary, the eldest aunt looked at her youngest daughter-in-law, then at Lin He, and couldn't help shaking her head.

"Xiaohe, if Changhui can earn money, you should eat more, don't just think about saving food, look at you skinny, this woman is too skinny, it's hard to give birth to a child."

Lin He didn't care about the reminder from her aunt at all, but when it came to the child, she remembered another thing.

"Auntie, I almost forgot, Xiuling has been married for almost two months, right? Have you taken her to see a doctor?"

"Why do you see a doctor? Isn't Xiuling all right?"

I can eat and sleep, and my son said that he still snores at night, so I slept well.

There is also a lot of food, thanks to the family's food, although it can't keep up with the big fish and meat, but it won't let the daughter-in-law go hungry.

Lin He wasn't sure if his feeling was correct, so he could only hesitate for a moment.

"I just think that Xiuling is a little different from before. Anyway, uncle is going to the town several times today. It's convenient for uncle to take Xiuling and Changsheng up for a look."

Li Changhui seems to be able to take the pulse, but I don't know if he will look at the pulse of pregnancy, and Li Changhui is not a real doctor after all, so let's go to the town.

If the doctor does not take the medicine, the consultation fee is only one or two pennies, and my aunt should not be reluctant.
