Huahong rolled her eyes at Lin Yan and said, "Go and ask who would find it troublesome and don't want the cow. Those two cows are the most precious treasures in the city, and everyone wants to steal them back."
At this point, she was stunned and said: "Speaking of stealing cattle, some people actually do it."
"What do you mean? Going to Tie's house to steal cattle?" Lin Yan's eyes widened. No one could think so hard.
Theft is illegal, and the cow is the private property of the Tie family, and no one knows it. Even if you steal it, wouldn't it be a bright thief etched on your face?
"Who said you went to Tie's house to steal cows? That's not what a fool would do." Huahong said angrily, "I heard that some people are jealous and go to the wild to steal cow calves."
Lin Yan became energetic and his eyes sparkled, "Did you steal it?"
It would be best if you can steal it. There are successful examples of domesticated cow calves. Every extra bison is a profit.
Huahong sighed regretfully: "I didn't steal it. I heard that someone else was injured, so he came back limply. The bison are tall and strong, and it's not easy to provoke them. However, the cow was not stolen. Someone But I stole goose eggs and geese, and kept them at home. I even took a look. There were six white geese, all very small, and they didn't look fierce."
"Who is so fierce?" Lin Yan really didn't know that there were so many things happening in the city.
If you dare to steal a goose, you are definitely a fierce person. She was also very greedy for those big white geese, but she could only think about them.
"Huo Huo's family. There were many people in her family, so five of them went to steal the goose and goose eggs. Nowadays, everyone in the city wouldn't envy them. The goslings were raised at home, and Huo Huo even let people go from the drinking water canal. I carried some water back and made a small pond in the yard."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I will go to Huo Huo's house tomorrow to see the geese. The big geese are fierce, and the little geese raised by this family should be fine. If they are raised for a long time, they may not be so fierce."
"That's right. Many people are secretly making plans to steal geese. I want to go too."
"We can't go." Lin Yan objected immediately, "Auntie, those big white geese are so ferocious. We've all seen them with our own eyes, so we can't take risks."
Huahong is old and not strong. If he is discovered by the big white goose, he will definitely not be able to escape.
Seeing that Hua Hong didn't want to give up, Lin Yan hurriedly advised: "Auntie, the people who go to steal the goose are all strong and fast, so they have the confidence. The old ones in our family, the young ones, don't have that ability. Wait. They stole it back, and if there are many people raising geese, someone will definitely sell them, and we will spend money to buy them."
Inspired by the bonus, Lin Yan kept up his efforts, "You don't need to spend money, I have saved a lot of money here, and it will definitely be enough to buy geese. When someone steals the geese back, we will buy them. Goose eggs can also hatch into goslings." , there must be a lot of geese then.”
"Goose eggs can hatch, you've said so a long time ago, but no one has succeeded, so I came up with the idea of stealing the goose."
"It's different this time. We have geese. When the goslings grow up, they will hatch eggs. We will just wait."
After giving up Huahong's idea of stealing the goose, Lin Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Huahong would follow her and steal the goose fearlessly. The chance of success would be too low.
The next day, Lin Yan went to his own land and planted wheat seeds in the ground with Huahong. Planting wheat is much faster than plowing the ground.
….
Done in one morning. I planted the roe seeds again and looked at the fields full of them. I was looking forward to a bumper harvest in a few months.
Lin Yan's mood improved a lot. This year is a critical year. Most of the people are cultivating wasteland. In less than half a year, the area east of the Pika Plain will turn into ten thousand acres of fertile land.
The Pika and Rabbit Plains are huge, and it would be a fool's errand to open up all of them with the available manpower.
Although the population exceeds 10,000, most of them are children, especially children under eight years old account for one-third. With such a population structure, Lin Yan couldn't even think about reclaiming the Pika Plain.
This is an era where all work is done by manpower, and there is no machine to expand the territory, so we can only do our best.
When these little babies grow up and the population increases, this may still be possible.
After shaking his head and getting rid of the thoughts in his mind, Lin Yan followed Hua Hong back home.
A year has passed and she has grown taller
Quite a few, over one meter tall. The chubby flesh is gone, and the arms and legs are thin.
Every time he saw her arms and legs, Huahong would sigh sadly, feeling that farming had exhausted her and her flesh was gone, and it would be too difficult to raise them back.
After walking for a while, Huahong asked in a low voice: "Has Jinzi come to see you?"
Lin Yan was stunned and asked what he was doing, "He went to find you."
Seeing Hua Hong without saying a word, Lin Yan said, "I haven't seen him for a long time. Why is he looking for you? What happened to the Jin family again?"
After hesitating for a while, Huahong looked around and then whispered, "Jin Zai said he wanted to come to our house."
"What?" Lin Yan was so excited that he couldn't control his voice. Huahong was so frightened that he said hurriedly: "Keep it down. Forget it, let's talk about it when we get home."
Lin Yan trotted, urging Hua Hong to go faster. She felt that Hua Hong could really hold it in. Jin Zai's matter was either a big deal or a small matter, but if there was an extra person in the family, it would definitely be a big deal.
When they got home, before Hua Hong could take a breath, Lin Yan pressed him: "When did Jin Zai find you? He really wants to come to our house. What do you think?"
Huahong was a little confused when asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't promised him yet."
"First tell me carefully how Jin Zai came to see you."
Three days ago, after the wheat seeds were distributed, the Jin family's style was naturally not selected. Another quarrel broke out at home.
Jin Zai became a punching bag. He was angry for a moment, and after thinking about it for another day, he felt that he could no longer stay in the Jin family. It just so happened that the law supported men and women forming families voluntarily, and Jin Zai thought this was an opportunity.
He also had a sudden idea and had thought about this for a long time. But this time it was very strong, and he mustered up the courage to come for the bonus.
Jinzi voluntarily joined the Huahong family's household registration and became a member of the family from then on. He specifically asked Xia Li whether the law was on his side. As long as Hua Hong agrees, he can get rid of the Jin family.
Lin Yan's first reaction was to firmly object, but when she looked at Huahong's rough face and gray hair, she instantly understood that time is not forgiving.
Hua Hong is nearly forty years old, in poor health, and has so much work to do at home. It would be good if there was someone who could share the burden with her.
Although Lin Yan is growing up, she also knows that she has a lot to do, and the possibility of being by Hua Hong's side in the future is slim.
Jin Zai is five years younger than Hua Hong and is in the prime of life. It would be a good thing if he could be with Hua Hong.
Lin Yan was confused. Jin Zai was a stranger to her. She had not seen him a few times since she opened her eyes, let alone any family ties.
But the current situation left her in a dilemma no matter what choice she made. Looking at Hua Hong, she suddenly understood that Hua Hong still had to make the decision whether it would succeed or not, and her own opinion was not important at all.
In the days to come, Hua Hong will have to live her own life, and it is her own choice whether it is good or bad.
