Pick up a daughter-in-law to farm

Chapter 780 Respective Thoughts

Seeing Uncle Huang sitting under the tree, remembering what his wife said, Zhuang Daniu continued to chat with him: "How was the cotton harvest of your two acres of land last year? At least three hundred catties?"

Uncle Huang tapped the chimney on the stone on one side: "It's not enough, and it was sold for more than six taels of silver. After deducting the cost, there is about three taels of silver."

Zhuang Daniu said cheerfully: "That's not bad. The rice harvest may not be so good, especially in May and June last year when the rice harvest was so dry. Your cotton harvest is so good, don't make people jealous. But, other people can only be jealous, if you are not old-fashioned, how can the cotton harvest be so high?"

There is no one in the world who doesn't like to be flattered, let alone an old farmer like Uncle Huang?
Moreover, growing cotton is indeed much better than growing grain!

To know last year's cotton, how many people in the village are jealous.

Uncle Huang smiled complacently when he heard the words: "This kid is pretty good at talking, but it's true that he has no experience with this kind of cotton. Last year, my family's next house, the Liu family, didn't even have a harvest of two hundred catties on two acres of land."

"That's it, that's it. I've already found out. Uncle Huang in Liuhu Town is the old cotton grower. I will learn more from you in the future! Uncle Huang, can you give me some advice? "

Farmers are relatively simple, not to mention that Uncle Huang believes that whether the harvest in this field is good or bad, the biggest reason is to decide the mind of this kind of farmer - whoever pays more and takes care of the crops more carefully, the harvest in this field will be successful. the better.

Hearing this, he said cheerfully: "Okay, no problem. I'm not good at other things, but this kind of cotton, I have grown some experience in the past few years."

Zhuang Daniu is a bright young man. Seeing that Uncle Huang was in a good mood, he thanked him repeatedly and asked, "Uncle Huang, does anyone in the village have this cigarette stick for sale?"

Seeing that Zhuang Daniu's topic changed, Uncle Huang was startled: "Daniu, what do you want this cigarette rod for?"

Zhuang Daniu didn't hide it either: "My wife said that she had seen other people grow cotton, and after the cotton leaves had three leaves and one core, spray some old smoke water on the cotton leaves, and the insects would not grow easily. "

Farmers have three fears: one is the fear of natural disasters, the other is the fear of pests, and the third is the fear of human harm.

Hearing that this old smoke water can cure insects, Uncle Huang became excited: "Nephew, is what your wife said true?"

Zhuang Daniu has unlimited trust in Sang Yue: "Uncle Huang, my wife said that her grandfather was also a good farmer before, and she said that this experience is a secret recipe passed down by her grandfather. I think it should be believed. Uncle Huang, please help me visit When I visit people in the village, if anyone has an old cigarette pole, will I be charged a few hundred catties?"

Who doesn't have old cigarettes?

Uncle Huang said enthusiastically: "Okay, okay, every family has this thing, and it was used as firewood. I will pay you as much as you want."

Zhuang Daniu said happily: "Then I will tell uncle tomorrow that I have to go back and ask my wife."

Uncle Huang was very happy: "Good class, but then you have to tell me how to use this old smoked water."

"no problem."

The two chatted for a while, Uncle Huang stood up after smoking a cigarette, and when he was about to leave, he saw a little girl walking towards the field: "Brother Big Niu, come and rest for a while, I brought you some food, Come eat and do it again."

Uncle Huang's family lived in a village on the south side of the town, and he didn't know Zhang Liuya.

Seeing Zhang Liuya calling so affectionately first, and then delivering water and food, he jokingly said: "Dear Niu, your wife is here to deliver food, uncle, I'll go first."

"Uncle Huang, she..."

When Zhang Liuya heard the uncle call her Zhuang Daniu's wife, she was very happy. Before Zhuang Daniu could explain, she interrupted him: "Brother Big Niu, it will be noon, I see you are busy After a long morning, you must be tired and hungry, right? Come here, it’s just a good time to sit and rest under the shade of a tree, and I’ll steam you a delicious egg in sauce today.”

Zhuang Daniu was a little depressed and awkward about Zhang Liuya's unprovoked enthusiasm.

Thinking back then, she always followed him with a pure face and always called him 'Brother Big Niu, Brother Big Niu' sweetly, even if he felt that Zhang Liuya should have self-knowledge as a widow, but He couldn't get angry.

Resisting the disgust that surged from the bottom of his heart, Zhuang Daniu's expression faded instantly: "Sister Liu Ya, I really don't need it, it's only half an hour's work for me, I'll just go home when I'm done. .My daughter-in-law is waiting for me to eat at home, so don’t bother you.”

Seeing that he was so confused, Zhang Liuya was annoyed and ashamed: "Brother Big Niu, are you afraid that you owe me favors? We grew up together since we were young, and you are farming near me by fate. Sending you a meal is to remember the love we grew up with. Don't be so polite, in fact, what I sent back is just a common meal, if you really think it's inappropriate, then I'll take it back and forget it!"

Originally, he really didn't want to get entangled with the woman in front of him, but when it comes to this, Zhuang Daniu feels embarrassed.

Although it was a bit interesting when he was two children, and she was always clinging to himself, and he couldn't say that he didn't have daydreams about her, but at that time he also knew that it was impossible.

After all, in the situation of my own family at that time, no one would marry their daughter to him and suffer with him.

Besides, when Liu Ya got married, she cried so sadly that she said she was sorry.

Now six or seven years have passed, he also has a wife, and she is married, so there is nothing awkward about it, let the past pass.

Zhuang Daniu, who was thinking clearly, put down the plow in his hand, tied the cow to a ditch beside it to let it drink water and graze grass, then washed his hands and walked over: "Sister Liu Ya, how embarrassing this is?"

Seeing that he finally came, Zhang Liuya was secretly happy but stood up smartly: "Brother Big Niu, the food is in the basket, you can eat it yourself, I will go back to eat first, and I will clean up later."

This move of hers made Zhuang Daniu let go: "That's fine, sister Liu Ya, you go and do it first, I will do it myself."

Zhang Liuya smiled triumphantly: "Brother Big Niu, you were not so polite before, you should still call me Liuya, and the word "sister" makes people feel strange. I didn't think nostalgia was so precious in the village before, wait for me After marrying into Wang's family, I realized how lonely it is to marry into a strange family alone."

Speaking of the encounter that touched the memory in Zhuang Daniu's heart, he knew that the person she married was okay, but the man was not in good health, and he left after three or four years of her marriage.

How can a woman live in an easy life without a man, let alone a child living in her husband's house?
Are you really thinking too much?
People don't have any crooked thoughts at all, it's just that they feel kind when they see their childhood playmates?
