Yoyo Farming

Chapter 33

The doctor rang the bell loudly, pretending not to hear it, and went away on his own.

Fu Niu who had just moved the water basin into the house couldn't help laughing, but Youshuan believed it: "Sister, will he really live in our shed? We can charge a little less money, just one copper coin a day. "

"Hehe, my sister doesn't know. If he really comes to live, it means that he is a doctor with no ability, and he is so poor that he has to live in a shed." Fu Niu poured water into the water tank, went to fetch water several times, and put the The water tank that is missing a piece is almost filled.

Then I was scooping up water to water the small trees and vegetable fields, and told Youshuan, "It's just right to be sick, don't embroider, and rest." When she came out and looked at her small elm tree, small apricot tree, and a few bamboos, Fu Niu was very happy .

Every house here is separated by a little distance, so every house has a relatively large yard, so you can plant something well.Looking at the backyard again, besides the two paulownia trees, there is also my newly opened vegetable field behind it. The backyard is surrounded by a bamboo fence, which is old.

Outside the bamboo fence is a small stagnant pond, and not far away is a small river. The water surface is basically the same as the stagnant pond. It seems that I don’t know which year the water was bigger, and the water overflowed and piled up outside to form a stagnant pond.

Measure it with your eyes, you don’t need to dig too much distance to dig through the stagnant pond and small river, here you can raise fish and lotus roots, there is a small hill next to the stagnant pond, although it is not too high and it is a slope, Look at the soil but it looks like fertile land.

How do you get the small hill behind your house that is close to you?After getting it, the pond can raise fish, but what can be grown on the hill?

Of course it is good to plant bamboo in seclusion, and you can plant the bamboo densely like the front yard to form a fence naturally. If the vegetables grow well, you can open a field in the middle of the bamboo, and only grow vegetables, so you don’t have to worry about prevention all day long. Ji Fangniao has to sleep on the field and look at the vegetables by himself. If there is any movement, you can see it by looking out the window on the kang...

Thinking about this in her heart, she turned around and saw Youshuan looking at her with a smiling face from the window. Fu Niu went to the bottom of the window and said to Youshuan, and then asked Youshuan: "Tell the village chief, he will agree. ?"

You Shuan said, "I'll come." Then he got off the kang and ran to the backyard, took Fu Niu to the small hill, and said, "Sister, look, this small hill is close to our families, and others The family is also growing vegetables and cutting down the trees here, although the village chief said it is owned by the village, this area is not owned by the landlord, so the village chief can’t look down on these family members.”

The small hill is not high, but it is very long, behind this row of more than a dozen houses.But the pond only goes to the back of Fu Niu's house, and there used to be a depression here.

Fu Niu basically already knew it in her heart, and after doing the calculations, she felt that it was meaningless to take down the area behind the house and use it secretly.

When the village chief came to investigate, he couldn't pull out all the vegetables that didn't grow or release all the fish in the pond. Fu Niu had already decided to come down to the mountain a few times. Save all of them and prepare to negotiate with the village chief. It is taken for granted that the negotiations will definitely require money. This should be the case in ancient and modern China and abroad.

It's just that it is necessary to figure out where to use it most effectively.Whether to pay some money to the village head every year, or to give gifts to the village head, this will only be known after meeting the village head.

Going back to the house with Youshuan, Fu Niu said, "Youshuan, sister will go to the mountains tomorrow, so don't go." I just fought for Fu Niu and said: "Although I am sick, I am already cured, and I can still help my sister carry things..."

"You can rest at home for a few more days. You have to finish the embroidery work first." Fu Niu comforted Youshuan and said, "We have a lot of money. You are most at ease looking at Sister Qian at home."

Having said that, You Shuan stopped talking.A loud voice came from outside the courtyard: "Fu Niu, You Shuan, are you home?" You Shuan and Fu Niu went out to greet her, but it was Old Qin, who was carrying a hunting fork and two hares in his hands, standing there. In front of the courtyard gate, he said: "See, I always forget about you siblings. Tomorrow morning, we will go into the mountains together, and we will stay in the mountains for a few days. Let me tell you."

This is good news, Fu Niu sister and brother burst into smiles, let old uncle Qin into the house: "Come in and drink some water." There's nothing good about it, old uncle Qin, only this candy, don't dislike it, take it."

Old Uncle Qin laughed, patted Youshuan's head, and declined: "I don't want this, and sister Xiaomi doesn't need it either. I have it at home. You siblings can keep it for yourselves."

Then I told Fu Niu again: "Bring an extra thick coat, it's cold in the mountains overnight. I'll call you tomorrow morning." Then she strode away.

Seeing the figure of old uncle Qin walking away, Fu Niu and You Shuan jumped up together and let out a cry of joy.A few more people came by outside the courtyard, and Youshuan hurriedly called out: "Village Chief, come and sit at my house."

"No, I have something else to do." The village head is an old man in his 50s, dressed very neatly, different from other people in the village.Followed by five or six strong men carrying bamboo rakes, they were walking with their heads muffled, when they heard someone shouting, they just responded.

After hearing this sound, the village head suddenly remembered, and walked over to the two siblings again: "Fu Niu, you Shuan, there is also a piece of land behind your house, don't plant it indiscriminately, this is from the village, the one from above The trees also belong to the village, and the ancestral hall in the village costs a lot of money every year, and the big guys can’t pay the money, so they point to these trees to exchange some money for the ancestors to make offerings during the New Year.”

Fu Niu and Youshuan agreed together. Fu Niu looked at the five or six men behind the village head. It was not the time to talk at this time, so she had to save some more money. If she had two or three taels of silver, she would go to the village head's house. Talk to him alone.

At least the village head said that if he asked for money to make offerings to his ancestors, it would also make sense to give him money.After the village chief finished speaking, he led the five or six men forward with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the village chief making a rare inspection tour in the village today, You Shuan looked at the village chief's back: "What's the village chief doing today?" Fu Niu laughed when she saw it: "You Shuan, let's come in and rest. Let's see when our vegetable fields can grow vegetables."
