I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 14 She also has a vegetable garden
It turned out that the man Chen Cuiping married was named Zhou Wenwu, and he was Zhou Wenbin's younger brother who was five years younger.

The brothers had lost their parents since they were young. Zhou Wenwu was raised by Zhou Wenbin. In order to raise this younger brother, he got married a year later than Zhou Wenwu. Unfortunately, he raised a white-eyed wolf.

After Zhou Wenwu and Chen Cuiping got married, they gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Zhou Baocai was one year older than her, and the youngest son Zhou Baoquan was the same age as her. Both of them were married.

I heard from Zhou Baoyu that the two brothers fought over the homestead two years ago, and the family was divided for this reason. The favored younger son occupied the mansion, and the two elders followed him to take care of old age, sickness and death, while the eldest son only needed to give money regularly.

Maybe it's the reward of reincarnation. The younger son marries a wife and has his own children, so he has selfish motives.Although the two old guys lived with them, the cost of food and clothing depended on their sons.

In addition, the youngest son Zhou Baoquan is lazy by nature, and his strong wife manages the family's money. If anything goes wrong, Zhou Wenwu and Chen Cuiping will be insulted and scolded.

After living in frustration for too long, Chen Cuiping and Zhou Wenwu gradually began to feel regretful. However, the eldest son was dissatisfied with the matter of dividing the homestead, so he just listened to it.

In order to make life easier, Chen Cuiping made an idea for them. She wanted to have a good land to grow vegetables without having to open up wasteland herself. She would find a suitable time to come up and pick up the ready-made crops.

Zhou Baoyu stretched out his hands and smiled happily, "Sister, fortunately you are here. She has lied to us so many times, and she still thinks she can succeed? Just dream of her spring and autumn."

"This is probably called the upper beam being out of alignment and the lower beam being crooked."

Zhou Chenyu murmured, and suddenly a man walked to the field with bare feet and a lantern next to him, "It's so dark, why is he going there?"

Baoyu took a look and said, "Oh, he went to catch eels. Every time before farming, there are most wild eels in the field. They are hard to catch, but they are nutritious. They are loved by the ladies of wealthy families. If you can catch them, They can cost more than a dozen kilograms, and one kilogram can cost hundreds of yuan. You can make money by selling them. But some people can catch a few kilograms in one night, and some people can only catch a few. It depends on personal luck. "

If you set up an eel farm specifically, you won't make a fortune.

Zhou Chenyu was fascinated by the wealth, "Hey, let's go get it too!"

"Sister, this eel only appears at night and stays under the mud during the day. We don't have a light, so how can we catch it? If we are unlucky enough to encounter a venomous snake, it will be more than worth the loss."

Zhou Chenyu was poured cold water on him, "It's so troublesome."

The man stopped in the paddy field in front of his house. Baoyu joined in the fun and ran over, and Zhou Chenyu followed quietly.

The man stood on the ridge of the field and discovered the eel lying still under the water.He pointed the lamp at the clear paddy field with one hand, and took out a large self-made toothed bamboo scissors from his waist with the other hand, pointed it at the muddy paddy field and cut it, and instantly picked up an eel as thick as a thumb.

The eel shook its body violently and made a final struggle. However, the bamboo scissors were very stable. Not only did it not escape, but its skin was worn out, and it was quickly thrown into the bamboo cage at the waist by the man.

After catching this piece, the man continued walking further along the field ridge.

Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu returned to the door and looked at the paddy fields in the distance. The number of lights turned from one to four or five.

It's a pity that they don't have lights, otherwise she would have to try it high and low.

Zhou Chenyu suppressed his eagerness to move, that's all.

Zhou Baoyu stared blankly at the dense old tree in front of the door. He was quiet for a long time and whispered in a low voice: "Sister, do you still remember that we used to sit there when we were young and listen to our father telling us stories."

Listen to Zhou Wenbin tell stories?
She didn't even know what Zhou Wenbin looked like.

"Who remembers such a small thing?" Zhou Chenyu leaned back, straightened his legs, beat them a few times, and prepared to go home and sleep.Zhou Baoyu's whimpering voice suddenly came to his ears, "Sister, I miss daddy."

Zhou Chenyu looked at him, usually with a playful smile on his face as if he was in need of a beating, but now he was aggrieved, hurriedly wiping away his tears, crying like a child.

After weeding the wasteland in the back house, we need to start loosening the soil.

This wasteland has not been used for many years and is overgrown with weeds. The roots of plants are entangled deeply in the soil and grow very strong. Loosening the soil is much more troublesome than weeding.

Early the next morning, after Zhou Chenyu and Li Xiuju had breakfast, they went to Grandma Wang's house not far away to borrow a hoe and two shovels, one for each person.

Li Xiuju had a bad right foot and couldn't use the shovel, so she took the hoe, while Zhou Chenyu and Zhou Baoyu took the shovel.

Starting from the end near the wall of the house, each person was responsible for a part. Li Xiuju raised a hoe and dug into the soil at the place with the most rocks. After digging out a piece of soil, she scraped the gravel to one side and cleaned it up. Continue to loosen the soil downwards.

Baoyu held the shovel in both hands, aligned it, stepped on the shovel with one foot, and shoveled out a piece of black soil.

The height of the shovel was as high as Zhou Chenyu's chest. She looked at Baoyu's relaxed look and felt that it was easy to get started. She stepped on it hard, but the bottom of the shovel was aimed at hard rocks, and the soles were thin, so she almost lost it. Her foot was cut in half.

"Oh my god, my jiojio." Zhou Chenyu jumped on one foot in pain, like a turtle jumping up and down in a melon field, "It hurts so much."

Zhou Baoyu laughed so hard, "Hahaha, sister, you are too stupid."

"My sister is in such pain, you stupid kid doesn't know how to support me." Li Xiuju quickly dropped the hoe, walked over and slapped him on the back of the head, "Chen Yu, are you okay?"

"It hurts, it hurts." Zhou Chenyu was helped to the side, and Li Xiuju took off her shoes and rubbed them for a long time, "Does it still hurt?"

Zhou Chenyu looked at those dirty feet and she felt disgusted by them, but Li Xiuju didn't care at all, her eyes were full of worry.

She shook her head, "Well, it doesn't hurt that much anymore."

"Then sit down and rest, and then you can do it slowly when you're ready."

Li Xiuju returned to her original position and continued hoeing.

Zhou Chenyu's feet didn't hurt any muscles and bones. After resting for a while, he was basically fine.She put on her shoes and picked up the shovel again.

Later, she learned to be smart. She pushed it in with her hands first to see if there were any stones stuck there, and then put her feet on it. After that, it became much easier to work.

It only took one day to hoe the flowers, but three days to loosen the soil.After the soil was loosened and further repaired by Li Xiuju, the originally large piece of land was divided into seven square vegetable plots one meter wide and seven or eight meters long.In addition, Li Xiuju also went to other places to pick up a few loads of more fertile soil and spread it on the surface.

Li Xiuju's face was so hot that she was sweating, but when she saw the cleaned vegetable field, her vicissitudes of life showed a smile, "The vegetable seeds have been soaked and will be planted tomorrow. After a while, we can also eat the vegetables we grow." ”

Zhou Chenyu didn't understand this, "Can you grow vegetables in this way? No need to fertilize? No need to pour some water?"
