When the carriage reached a deserted place, Su Hanchu took out two bags of food from the space, one bag of millet and one bag of corn. The corn was brought by hand at the Hua family's manor, and he just happened to take it out to raise chickens.
I looked around again and took out a large basin of fish from the space. Well, I haven't eaten fish in some days.
Moreover, Su Hanchu discovered that the fish that had been taken into the space on the road had grown extraordinarily fat in the pond of the space, and many of them had larger bellies. It seemed that they were about to start breeding.
Back at Jun's house, everything that should be rested in the new house has been put in place, and Chuntao and the others are cleaning it.
"Madam, our new house is ready. Uncle Zhou asked the workers to go back and rest. Madam, do you think it's appropriate to start construction on the other yard when?"
Liu Shan and others looked at the various food items in the Mustang and hurriedly stepped forward to help move them.
Su Hanchu directly directed everyone to move to the new house.
"Chuntao, okra, make a fire and boil water for cooking. Jiang Like, go to Uncle Zhou's house and tell Uncle Zhou that the Jun family is inviting everyone to dinner today. Li Heng, go and call Hu Xing, and invite his mother by the way. Let’s help cook together.”
He then asked Jun Moye and Liu Shan to go to Banshan Village to bring back the tables, benches and other furniture that had been ordered previously.
Soon He Fang came over to help. Su Hanchu personally made a large pot of pickled fish. Of course, the pickled vegetables were replaced by the pickled vegetables that Aunt Zhou sent last time.
I kept busy until late in the evening, and the food was all ready. On each table there was a pot of pickled fish, a large bowl of stir-fried pork, 10,000 kidney beans stewed with bacon, and a pot of radish soup.
Because the Jun family will have two houses, Jun Moye named the new house Mochuyuan.
There were five tables full of workers in Mo Chuyuan, plus so many people from the Jun family, as well as He Fang's mother and son.
Jun Moye smiled and greeted Uncle Zhou and other workers.
"Uncles and brothers, Mo Chuyuan of the Jun family has worked hard for you for so long. Everyone is eating and drinking well today. You're welcome."
Uncle Zhou and others sat down.
"Mo Ye, we are not polite, but you kid is very polite. The wages you give are higher than those in the town. You have repaired a yard and treated us to so many delicious food. I see you Jun family. The best person ever."
Su Hanhan smiled and spoke.
"Uncle Zhou, thank you for your praise. We are new to the Jun family. We have to thank you for taking special care of us, Uncle Zhou. I have seen this house. It is well built. Come on, come on. Let's eat quickly. Although it will be February soon. , but the weather is still a bit cold, and the dishes won’t taste good when they get cold.”
It’s good to be able to eat enough at ordinary times. Eating meat is a good thing that can only happen during the Chinese New Year. It is rare to see such sumptuous meals in the village. The Jun family has fish and pork today. Everyone is already greedy. Everyone They all picked up their bowls and ate with big mouthfuls of meat.
Hu Xing ate with his mouth full of meat and looked at Jun Moyan speaking with a little slurred speech.
"Your... food... food is so delicious."
Jun Mo Yan also picked up a piece of meat after hearing this.
"Then you eat more, and you can come to my house to eat often in the future. My brother and sister-in-law are very good, and they let us eat meat every day."
The enjoyable meal did not end until the sky turned completely dark. Someone wrapped two slices of bacon cooked in bean sprouts in oil paper or leaves and prepared to take them home for the children to eat. Su Hanchu also pretended not to See, it's normal for a father to feel sorry for his child.
Seeing that everyone was full and full, Jun Moye spoke.
"Uncle Zhou, we have a large family. Do you think you can start construction on the other yard in the next two days? My wife has prepared the wages for this yard. I will settle the payment to Uncle Zhou later, and then you will settle the payment to Uncle Zhou." Everyone."
Uncle Zhou spoke happily after hearing this.
"Okay, you guys have indeed been busy for so long. In this way, all of us will have another day off tomorrow, and we will start building another yard the day after tomorrow."
Jun Moye responded with a smile upon hearing this.
"good."
Su Hanchu took out a money bag, which contained some broken silver and copper plates.
"Uncle Zhou, please order. If the quantity is wrong, we can make up for it."
Uncle Zhou put the money bag away.
"You can't be wrong. Uncle Zhou believes in you. It's already getting late, so we'll go back first."
Soon everyone left.
Everyone worked together to clear away the leftovers on the table and wash the bowls.
During the day, Uncle Liu had people move Su Hanchu and Jun Moye's belongings to the main house of Mo Chuyuan.
Tonight, Chuntao and other female relatives will continue to live in He Fang's house, and everyone who lives with Jun Moye will move to the new house.
the next day.
When they got up early in the morning, Su Hanchu and Jun Moye took everyone to have breakfast and then went straight to the fields.
Everyone has a hoe in his hand.
They all had lived a hard life on the road of exile, so there was nothing unusual about digging in the ground.
After Su Hanhan dug out a small piece, he felt blood blisters on his hands.
He pursed his lips and looked at the blisters on his palms. Hey, what a sin. After living two lifetimes, he finally planted it on the ground.
Jun Moye came over and looked at the blisters on her hand and felt distressed. He stretched out his hand to hold her hand and watch.
"Chuchu, it's almost time. Why don't you take the two of you back to cook and leave the place to us."
Su Hanchu looked at everyone working hard. Even the children were picking up stones and putting them on the ground.
There are more than ten acres of fields and several acres of dry land. If we dig them out bit by bit, I'm afraid it will be a bit laborious.
"In this case, you guys dig it first, while I take Ping'er and Mo Hua back, and stop by Aunt Zhou's house."
Jun Moye originally wanted her to go back, but he hurriedly spoke after hearing this.
"Okay, go quickly."
Su Hanchu brought Ping'er and Mo Hua to Aunt Zhou's house first. Because he was familiar with Aunt Zhou, Su Hanchu got straight to the point.
"Aunt Zhou, let me ask, does the land in our village have to be dug out bit by bit? Isn't there something that can make farming easier?"
Aunt Zhou smiled and spoke.
"So that's what you're asking. Yes, the Wang family in our village has a cow. We all take turns borrowing the Wang family's cow to plow the land. Of course, we will pay a small rental fee. Or if the family doesn't know how to plow the land, we will directly ask the Wang family to help. Then pay the wages.”
After saying that, she suddenly remembered that the Jun family had a fight with the Wang family in the village last time, and Aunt Zhou spoke again with some embarrassment.
"That Hanchu, look at my aunt, she has forgotten the conflict between your family and the Wang family... But only the Wang family has cows in this village. After all, the cows are very precious."
Su Han frowned at the first oath, then smiled and spoke.
"It's okay, Auntie. I'll just ask you a random question. I'll talk about it in two days."
But I secretly thought about it, see if there is anything that can replace oxen in plowing the land?
With the Wang family involved, it was naturally impossible to invite the Wang family to farm the land.
Suddenly, Su Hanchu's mind lit up.
Isn't there a Quyuan plow? That tool was simple and easy to use, and it didn’t require oxen to plow.
"Aunt Zhou, I suddenly remembered something and went back first. Goodbye, Auntie."
Then I went home and started thinking about how to research Quyuanli...
