Chapter 56

This wheat has been busy for a long time, and it was finally received at home.After the wheat was taken back home, the farmer felt at ease.Song Laoer's family paid more than half of the wheat harvested, leaving a small half.Seeing that her family has been busy for so many days, and most of the harvest has been paid in taxes, Liuya felt uncomfortable, but He and Song Laoer were very content, thinking that the newly appointed county magistrate was not a corrupt official.This has to be replaced by the old official, and most of the harvested crops will be used to pay taxes.Therefore, today, the small half of these farmers are very satisfied.

No matter how uncomfortable Liuya feels, she can still live this day.The wheat is harvested, and everyone is waiting for it to rain, all day long.Seeing that the rain is not falling, some people feel a little flustered. If the rain does not fall, you will not be able to cultivate the fields. How can you transplant big seedlings?As the old saying goes, you depend on the sky to eat, and you depend on the sky to eat. If God doesn't reward you, they will have nothing to eat.

If the rain doesn't fall, it's not that they, the little people, can't help it. They can only discuss when they meet, when it will rain, and what if it doesn't rain.

Song Lao Er didn't have time to worry about when the rain would fall, because he was busy helping Liu Ya dig a pond.As soon as the wheat was taken home, Liu Ya took Song Laoer to look over their field, and finally chose a place with relatively good terrain and closer to the small river in the village for Song Laoer to dig.

Now that the place has been selected, Song Lao Er didn't delay, and started digging directly with the tools.Digging a pond is a big project, and it cannot be done in three or two days.So Song Lao Er couldn't delay, the rain might fall at any time, and when the rain came, he was too busy to dig the pond at all.

When Song Laoer was digging the pond, Liuya and the others had to help transport the dug mud to other places.In this way, the whole family will suffer miserably.Especially Siya, since she transported the mud, her mouth has never stopped.

"Okay, I'm here to dig some kind of pond. I'm really not tired at all." Liu Ya heard Si Ya started to read again, and she felt really sorry. all tired.From harvesting wheat to now, the family has not rested for a while.Liu Ya can still understand Si Ya talking about these things.

Comprehensible is understandable, ponds should be dug or mud should be transported.Because she is helping the family to increase their income, not making fun of it.

"Okay, Siya, don't read it anymore, if you are really tired, you can go to the side and rest for a while." Liuya felt sorry for it, and it was hard for Siya to say anything.But other people are different. After listening to Siya's reading all morning, Sanya is tired of reading it.

"Third Sister, I also want to rest, but if I leave, no one can say that you are all working, and I am lazy by myself. This is impossible." Si Ya thought about it, but let Er Ya and the others work, She can't do this kind of thing alone.

Everyone laughed when they heard what Si Ya said.

"Since you don't want others to talk about it, then work hard. I've listened to you reading all morning, and if you don't annoy us, we will." Wuya said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't talk about it, okay? Liuya, why don't you invite Zhang Haoxuan to help us this time." Siya thought, if Zhang Haoxuan came to help, they wouldn't have to be so tired.

"Fourth Sister, I really want to ask him to help. But he has been helping us for a few days, and I feel embarrassed to invite him again. Or, this time, Fourth Sister, please go and invite him." Liuya actually She was indeed a little embarrassed, she was a little embarrassed to go to Zhang's house after asking Zhang Haoxuan to help her for free for so many days.

"Okay, don't come up with greedy ideas. Haoxuan wants to study, so he has so much time to help our family with work." Seeing that these girls were making random ideas again, He hurriedly stopped her.Although Zhang Haoxuan didn't do much work, he was indeed helping their family. If Zhang Haoxuan was to help, his family might not know what they thought of the Song family.

Liuya and Siya stuck out their tongues in embarrassment when they heard this, and continued to work.

Liuya is busy here, and Zhang Haoxuan's wife, the Wang family, really has a lot of opinions on the Song family these days.Not for anything else, but because Zhang Haoxuan helped the Song family thresh wheat a few days ago.

Wang's son is Zhang Haoxuan. Although he can't be said to be pampered, he has never been asked to do heavy work, and he has never been allowed to touch family affairs.In the past, when the whole family hadn't left their citizenship, at that time, all they wanted was for Zhang Haoxuan to study with the young master, and to be a manager or something in the future.

Although the family has returned to the countryside now, even if the Zhang family has land, they still hire short-term labor, and no one has worked.The Song family is so good, coaxing her son to help his family with work, don't mention how angry Wang is.

No, Zhang Haoxuan came back from working at the Song family on the first day, and at night, Mrs. Wang said to Zhang Tiezhu: "Tell me what's going on with the Song family, please let our son go to help their family with work. Look at the end of the day." How tired is your son?" In fact, ever since Zhang Tiezhu and the Song family entered into the mushroom business, she had some opinions in her heart.She felt that Zhang Tiezhu was too stupid. It was obviously their Zhang family, and they were paying the capital and looking for a seller.Their family has done so many things, and they can do this business by themselves, but Zhang Tiezhu wants to bring the Song family with him, so that his family can cut half of the money.Now that the Song family has summoned her son again, Wang's heart is not to mention how angry she is.

"Has he been tired since he didn't go to the field? When he was his age, he could do everything. I originally planned to let him do the farming language, so as not to be able to distinguish the five grains when he grows up. Now it happens that the second child helps I'm doing this, so I have to thank him some other day." Zhang Tiezhu's thinking was different from Wang's, Zhang Haoxuan was the only man in the Zhang family, and he would definitely be needed to support the family in the future.So Zhang Haoxuan helped the Song family work, he thought it was a good thing.

When Wang heard this, she was so angry that the Song family treated her son as free labor without spending a penny.Finally, I have to thank others, where to find such a thing.However, she also knew that if she said anything more, Zhang Tiezhu would definitely not listen, so she could only hold back her tone.

But Wang looked at Zhang Haoxuan getting up early every morning and going to Song's house to work, and coming back very late at night, his face became more and more ugly.After finally waiting for the Song family's work to be over, the son was exhausted and fell on the bed and couldn't get up.

In the morning, Mrs. Wang saw that Zhang Haoxuan hadn't woken up when he had breakfast, so she hurried to his room, and saw Zhang Haoxuan getting up with the pain all over his body.Seeing his awkward look, Mrs. Wang lowered her face and scolded him: "Son, why are you so stupid? Our family's farm work is all done by short-term labor. You are so good, but you just ran to someone's house to help. What are you talking about? What about your father's virtues? You have to think about the Song family when you have any good deeds."

"Mother, go and help Uncle Song and the others with their work for a day or two. It's not a good thing." Zhang Haoxuan said.

"Since you said it's not a good thing, what are you doing at Song's house every day these few days? Look at you, you've lost weight from exhaustion in just a few days." Mrs. Wang was annoyed at first, and then It is Xi Pain Zhang Haoxuan.

"Mother, there's such an exaggeration there, I still think I've grown stronger." Zhang Haoxuan said, pushing Mrs. Wang on the bench, and then said: "Mother, I know that I'm going to help Uncle Song's house these days. I have an opinion, I think I shouldn't go..."

"You said that you know what I think, so why do you still go?" Wang interrupted Zhang Haoxuan and asked in puzzlement.

Zhang Haoxuan sighed and said, "Mother, we are not servants of other people's family now, and each of us will not have a monthly payment. Our family is now a farmer with land and land. It is impossible for me to study for a lifetime and do nothing." At the beginning, Zhang Haoxuan actually complained that Liuya asked him to work, but if he didn't want to go, Liuya's provocative methods would be of no use to him.

Although Liu Ya's words were not completely correct, some words still touched his heart.Liuya said that those officials should know that 'who knows that every piece of Chinese food is hard work'.Then he, who can't be an official, should know this.

If he can't take the imperial examination, it means that he can't study for a lifetime.He didn't want to be a troublemaker, so he had to think about what he wanted to do with his life.As a scholar, worker, farmer, and businessman, he can only choose the latter two. As a businessman, he feels that he is not such a material, and in the end he can only grow crops.

Now that he has decided to be a farmer and crops, he has to learn from scratch.He has been helping the Song family for the past few days. Although he is physically tired, he is very satisfied when he sees the fruits of his labor.

Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to speak, Zhang Haoxuan went on to say: "Mother, I have already planned not to go to school in the town. From tomorrow onwards, I will follow my father to learn how to do things."

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, and it took a while before she said, "You are still young, and you will be working with your father after a while." Mrs. Wang knew that what Zhang Haoxuan said was correct, but she thought that he was like these people in the village, every day Facing the loess and working with her back to the sky, she felt uncomfortable.Her son is so smart, if he can take the imperial examination, he will definitely pass the exam.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang did not object, Zhang Haoxuan said with a smile, "Mother, I am not young anymore. You see, all the children in our village have gone to the fields to help their families with work. Don't mention other people, look at Uncle Song's Liuya, who are younger than me." , I get up early every day to help with the housework, am I not as good as them as a boy?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang didn't know what to say. If she objected, it obviously meant that her children were not as good as Liuya and the others. But if she didn't object, she felt sorry for the children's suffering.

Zhang Haoxuan didn't know what Wang was thinking.He quickly persuaded: "Mother, I know you love me and don't want me to suffer, but mother, have you ever thought that one day you and father will be too old to walk, and at that time, I will not be able to pay back the money. I want you to raise me or my son. Mother, if at that time, what will others think of me? What will they say about me? "

After Zhang Haoxuan said this, Wang has no reason to object any more, he can only sigh in his heart, feeling that there is a big problem here.
