Chapter 30

Mrs. Yao didn't think that Mrs. Fang would dare to refute, so she cursed angrily: "You ungrateful person, how dare you curse Ningning like that? You're going to die! We, the Luo family, don't dare to have such a vicious woman. So I went to report to the clan, and asked your mother to come and get them quickly, and take back the two money-losers you gave birth to."

After Yao shi finished speaking, he jumped off the ground and was about to go outside.

With a loud "bang", it was the old man Luo who overturned the table, pointed at Yao and cursed: "Come back! What are you doing? Don't you think it's not enough to be ashamed? With you like a mother-in-law Are you grandma?"

He is an honest man, and he can't do any new tricks in cursing. He stopped Yao Shi, and said to Luo Baihan and Luo Baining: "What are you still doing, why don't you go and drag your mother back? You really want to throw embarrassment into the clan, and let me Only when the whole village knows about it will they have face?"

Luo Baining wished for Fang Shi's misfortune, so he smiled gloatingly, as if he hadn't heard it, but Luo Baihan relied on his status and put on more face, rushed to the yard to try to persuade Yao Shi.

Only then did old man Luo catch his breath, and said to Fang: "Your mother is delusional, don't take the nonsense she said seriously." After speaking, he said to Luo Baisu: " It's getting late, I won't keep you guys, you can take the children back first."

Luo Tian was eager to leave as soon as possible, busy and Luo Ming supported Fang Shi back to the east room.

When he got to the house, Luo Tian closed the door and said: "Father, mother, we can't save this money anymore, we have to find a way to spend it as soon as possible."

The next day, Luo Tiandu urged Fang to go to Lizheng to buy the depression in the village.

From the bottom of his heart, Fang really didn't want to buy that piece of land, but after Yao's trouble, he also felt that the money was a bit hot to hold in their hands. As long as these few coins were in their hands, they would have no peace.In order to force her to take out the money, Yao shi even threatened to divorce her. I'm sure he will come up with some way to deal with them. At that time, it was really the dumb who ate yellow lotus, so bitter that he had nothing to say in his heart.

Fang couldn't think about it, so he had to go to Lizheng.

Li Zheng also said the same thing as Fang's, thinking that instead of buying that depression, it is better to find another piece of barren wasteland to develop, but after thinking about it for a while, there is really no suitable wasteland in the village, and Fang's only wants to quickly open the land. After spending a few slings of money in his hand, Lizheng had no choice but to take Ren and Fang to measure the land with a firm attitude.

The land is close to the back mountain, with a total area of ​​more than 20 mu, and there is a small barren slope on the side, which also covers an area of ​​more than four mu. Because the depression is separated in the middle, it is inconvenient to get in and out, so it is also deserted there. .Lizheng knew the situation of Luo's family, and got the old patriarch's order. He wanted to take care of their family, so he gave the Fang family a favor, and put the small barren slope up, and sold them together for ten yuan. Fang.

Lizheng finished measuring the land, wrote the paperwork, and entered it in the book. It took a total of two days, and the land was officially settled on Luo Baisu's head.

At this time, Luo Tiandu breathed a sigh of relief.She originally thought that no matter how cheap the wasteland was, she would have to pay more than ten cents to buy that depression, but she didn’t expect it to be much cheaper than what she had planned. The total area of ​​24 acres of land only cost ten cents, which is an average of one mu of land. Four hundred Wen is indeed much more cost-effective than buying fertile land.

Once you have land, you naturally want to reclaim it quickly and plant whatever you want, even if the land is thin and the harvest is not good, it is better than wasting a whole winter in vain.

Luo Tian did the calculations, excluding the money for buying the land, Fang should still have more than eight tangs in her hand, so she thought about going to the town to buy some more farm tools and some seeds along the way, and Fang agreed.

After lunch, Fang pushed the cart and took Luo Tiandu and Luo Mingdu to the town.Although she doesn't agree with buying this depression, but since she has bought all the land now, she can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, tidy it up, and maybe even collect a few grains.

The three mothers first went to the blacksmith's shop to order two hoes, two small shovels, and a shovel. They paid a deposit of two hundred cash and agreed to pick them up in three days. Then they went to a grocery store that sells grain seeds to buy seeds. .Fang bought some radish and cabbage seeds, and some vegetable seeds that are suitable for growing in autumn and winter. When he was about to leave the house, he thought of something and asked the man, "Do you have any cloud sprout seeds?"

Seeing that Fang had bought a lot of vegetables, the guy had a very friendly attitude, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, I just bought some, and I haven't had time to take them out at the back. Elder sister wants them, so I'll show you."

The man led them to a miscellaneous room for storing seeds at the back. There were many wooden shelves on both sides of the room, and various sundries were stored on the shelves. On the shelf on the left, there were three sacks containing It is cloud sprouts seeds.

Luo Tiandu took a look, what kind of cloud sprouts were they, they were clearly rapeseeds.In fact, the seeds of the cruciferous family are almost the same, they are all round, but the seeds of cabbage and other vegetables are much smaller, while the seeds of rapeseed are very large.

Luo Tiandu had planted at home in his previous life, so he is very familiar with it. At that time, rape and cotton were planted in rotation at home. When the rape was harvested, it was time to plant cotton. After the cotton was harvested, the cotton stalks were pulled and transported home. rape.

Luo Tiandu pinched a piece of rapeseed with his fingers, rubbed it with his fingertips a few times, and then cut it open with his nails, it was really greasy.

She was happy. After a while, wouldn't it just be the time to plant rapeseed?Now the oil in the oil workshop is fifty yuan a catty, which is much more expensive than grain, and lard is even more expensive. The wasteland in their house is opened up, and rapeseed is planted for a season. By May next year, they can harvest some rapeseed and press it. The oil is suitable for selling or eating by yourself.

She tugged at the corner of Fang's clothes and said, "Mother, buy more of these seeds."

Fang said with a smile: "I know you like to eat, so I just wanted to buy this."

Thinking that Luo Tian loves to eat, Fang also specially emphasized that he should buy more, so he calculated the variety and asked the waiter to wrap a bag with paper for four cents.

Luo Tian was in a hurry when he saw it, and that's what the co-author Fang said to buy more, what use can this small bag do?She calculated that one mu of land needed about five taels of seeds, and even if she only filled up the barren slope, it would cost about two catties.

"Mom, buy more." Then he said to the waiter, "I want two catties."

Fang glanced at her and said, "Where do you grow so much land at home? Besides, if you grow too much, you can't eat it, and you can't sell it for a little money. Why buy so much?"

Even the guy advised her: "Little lady, no matter how much you like to eat, what your mother bought is enough."

Luo Tian didn't like to say in front of people that she was going to grow rapeseed to extract oil, so he had to twist the corner of Fang's clothes and insisted on buying more.

Even if Fang followed her, he would not waste money like this, and was annoyed by her, so he had to buy another small bag, paid the money, and led Luo Tiandu out of the shop.

Luo Tian had no choice but to follow Fang out first, thinking that he would find another opportunity to ask Fang for some money in two days, and then buy some rapeseed to go back.

She planned to grow some rapeseed this autumn, and in the spring and summer of next year, she would be able to harvest a season of rapeseed for oil. There was no container for oil at home, so she suggested to Fang to buy two large tanks to go home.

This time Fang agreed.In previous years, they had to pickle pickled vegetables, but this year they separated, Yao shi would definitely not let her use the big vat at home, maybe she had to buy it herself.

The shop selling pottery is not far from the shop selling grain seeds, just a few steps away.Fang went into the shop, spent 380 Wen, and picked out two pottery jars, one larger and the other slightly smaller.The store clerk helped Fang tie the big vat to the car, put the small vat into the big vat, and tied it up together.Fang thought that there was not enough tung oil at home, so she wanted to get some tung oil to light the lamp, so she agreed with the clerk to leave the car in their store first, and then come to pick up the things after shopping.

When Fang went to buy tung oil, Luo Tian thought of the chicken feathers recycled online, so he told Fang.

"What do you buy the chicken feathers for? The ones you bought last time, I put them away for you. If you want to use them to make shuttlecocks, those are enough for the whole village." Fang never understood that she wanted so much What do chicken feathers do.

"I'm useful for these, mother will know when the time comes." Autumn has already entered, and winter is not far away. The winter here is much colder than that in the south. She only wore it last year, and she was so cold that she could only huddle in the house all winter. Here, I dare not go out, my hands and feet are covered with chilblains, so I have to be well armed this year.

Fang had no choice but to carry the oil pot and ran around the streets and alleys with her. He collected four fen for chicken feathers, which was a full sack, which made her spend two more renminbi to buy a special sack.

"If you only play with these in the future, be careful and I'll beat you up." Fang was unhappy with spending too much money, and threatened Luo Tian while staring at her.

"Mother, don't worry, you will definitely not blame me for spending more money." Luo Tian was not afraid of her, and said with a smile, but he refused to tell Fang what those chicken feathers were for.

On the way back to the pottery shop to push the cart, I passed a second-hand bookstore.

Luo Tiandu's eyes lit up. She was thinking about how to explain the rapeseed and paddy fields to Fang Shi and Luo Baisu. When she saw this bookstore, she rolled her eyes. He dragged Fang into the bookstore.

Although Fang can recognize a few big characters, she has never touched a serious book. She just thinks that even if she is a daughter, it is good to be able to recognize more characters and read more books. Although she followed Bai Su to buy books, it was only to show that she supported Luo Tiandu's studies, but she had no intention of buying them. First, the paper was expensive, and the books were even more expensive. Second, she didn't know what books Luo Baisu wanted to buy. If you spend a lot of money to buy a useless book and go back, it is not a waste of money.

The owner of the bookstore is a young man wearing a long gown. Seeing Fang bringing two children over, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, this is a bookstore. It doesn't matter if you come in and have a look, but you have to take care of the children. Don't worry about it." Tear up the book randomly, or if you break it, I will ask you to pay for it."

These days, papermaking and printing are not well developed, so many of the books in the shop are manuscripts, and the small letters on them are so densely packed that Luo Tian is dizzy.After searching around, she found that most of them were "The Book of Songs" and "The Analects of Confucius". She didn't bother to look through them by herself, so she asked the bookstore owner: "Uncle, are there any agricultural books here?"
