Lin Tianfu was dumbfounded. Although he was young, he still had good eyesight. The carriage was pulled by two horses. It was big and spacious. It was decorated with beautiful tassels. There was even an extra-large bead on the roof. , it’s very valuable at first glance.
He glanced at his third uncle and aunt in panic. Was it because he beat Aman and her family came to settle a score with him?
Just as he was thinking about it, the girl not far away had already raised her legs and walked towards him majestically.
It's bad, it's bad, the fierce woman is looking for her to settle the score.
The fight between him and Ah Man cannot involve the family, let alone vent his anger on innocent people.
Tianfu was heartbroken and stretched his arms forward, revealing his white, tender and round arms.
Bite it, a manly man will definitely not cry.
Unexpectedly, Ah Man didn't even look at him, and walked around to Zheng as if he didn't exist.
"Auntie, my family has come to take me home. I'll come see you later." He kissed Xiangyun on the forehead and said, "Sister Abao, be good. I'll be back soon."
Xiangyun puffed out bubbles, but he was so happy that the little girl his father accidentally rescued turned out to be the daughter of the richest family in the town.
This thigh is thick, so you need to hold it tight.
When Boss Lin and others came down from the mountain, they were all surprised when they heard that Aman was the daughter of Zhou Yuanwai.
After the news spread in the village, the villagers also started talking, thinking that the Lin family had helped Zhou Yuanwai a lot, and there should be many thank you gifts at their door.
As a result, the villagers waited day after day with their necks raised, but no Zhou family carriage appeared at the entrance of the village.
Some people who were jealous at first are now making sarcastic remarks.
"The lintel of the Zhou family is not that easy to climb. Who is Zhou Yuanwai? He is the richest family in the ten miles and eight villages. The young lady has been pampered and pampered since she was brought up. I heard that on the day she was picked up, the Lin family's grandson We were fighting with her! What a good little girl, but she was beaten till her nose was bruised and her face was swollen."
"Isn't Mr. Zhou angry? I see that the little girl is fair and tender. She doesn't belong to a country family. I haven't found her family for such a long time. Could it be that the Lin family deliberately kept the news secret? , wait until the little girl gets acquainted with the Lin family, and then take the opportunity to make a big fortune out of Yuan Zhou?"
The Cao family's daughter-in-law and Shun Xi's mother happened to be washing clothes on the shore. When they heard the woman chewing her tongue, they got so angry that they threw away the mallet used to hammer clothes, put their hands on their hips and pointed at each other's noses.
"You are grasshoppers after the autumn. Are you going to run away in a few days? There is no one to clean up the mess in your house. You are here to worry about other people's thoughts. Miss Zhou is living well in the Lin family. Madam Zheng comes to my house every day to buy tofu and cook fish for her. Soup and eggs are also eaten first by her, so you can honestly say, when the little girl comes to your house, are you willing to give her eggs every day?"
The scolded woman looked disdainful: "Oh, if I knew that the little girl was from Zhou Yuan's wife's family, I would be willing to eat and drink every day, let alone eggs. This money is nothing compared to the future returns. ?”
"It's like you saw with your own eyes how the Lin family treated the girl from the Zhou family. It's okay if you don't say it. Once you say it, I feel that the Lin family knows the little girl's background in advance. Otherwise, whoever has enough to eat will not leave the eggs for the grandson. A little girl of unknown origin?"
Shun Xi Niang picked up the mallet and was about to hit it.
"Shut your stinky mouth, do you think everyone is the same as you? The little girl of the Zhou family was rescued by Sanlang of the Lin family. She had a high fever at the time. You didn't see it. If it hadn't been for Mrs. Lin's treatment, she would be here now. I don’t know if I have a chance to survive, but I think you guys just can’t eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour!”
The people in the village were talking lively, but the Lin family, on the other hand, did not take this matter to heart and focused on the dozens of acres of land in the back mountain.
The sunshine has been good in recent days, and the fertilizer in the pit has been irrigated with manure, and with the warmth of the straw mat, it has fermented and smelled rotten. You can smell the stench from far away.
Lin Laoer was shoveling fertilizer out with a shovel, and said with satisfaction to Lao Lin beside him: "This year's fertility is better than in previous years. I wonder if the climate in Lianhua Village has nourished the soil. When we build on the wasteland, With a thick layer of fertilizer and the ground ripening, you can have a good harvest of whatever crops you plant.”
If he knew that the fertilizer was fertile because his niece secretly added a lot of fermentation beans to the pit, he would be heartbroken.
Lin Laosan was still thinking about the words of the Cao brothers that whatever was planted in this land would die, and he was a little worried.
"Second brother, have you decided what to plant? Our family will also have to pay grain tax after next autumn's harvest."
Lin Laoer had a plan in mind, but the land belonged to the whole family, and he alone did not count.
So during dinner, he told his family about his idea of growing beans and radishes in the ground.
Mrs. Lin took a mouthful of rice and nodded: "Okay, it's definitely too late to plant winter wheat now. I guess everyone hasn't left any seeds. Beans and radishes are cold-resistant. They need to grow in the ground for a season. This will just invigorate the soil for planting next year." Rice and wheat.”
But it was a waste to use dozens of acres of land to grow beans and radishes. First, the family couldn't eat them all, but because the beans and radishes were not enough to satisfy hunger, they couldn't be used as staple food!
Xiangyun was half leaning in Zheng's arms, smacking the egg custard with her small mouth. When she heard that her family was going to grow food, her calves began to sway. Zheng didn't pay attention, and the egg custard hit her nose.
The movement attracted Mrs. Lin's attention. She took her granddaughter into her arms and carefully wiped the stains on her mouth.
"Don't worry, the custard at home is all for you. Sister Aman is gone, and her share will be given to you."
Tianfu was burying his face in the bowl, scooping up the custard. When he heard this, he covered the mouth of the bowl with his hands, his eyes full of grievance.
He finally tasted the custard...
A-Hua and A-Cao were both raised by him, so it should be his turn no matter what, right?
Mrs. Lin didn't see her grandson's grievance at all. Her heart and eyes were full of Abao in her arms. Suddenly her hand was held by her granddaughter, and there was something in her hand.
I hid it under the table and dug it out. I found it was Bupleurum seeds.
She remembered that the last time Sanlang went to town to sell medicinal materials, the shopkeeper of Baohe Hall said that Bupleurum was a hot medicinal material and the supply exceeded the supply in the market.
No matter who it is, there are bound to be several headaches and headaches every year, and Bupleurum is the most effective of all the treatments for wind and cold.
An idea quickly jumped through her mind. Mrs. Lin clenched her hands and said slowly: "Save twenty acres of land on the mountain. I will use it."
"Mom, what are you going to plant?"
Boss Lin and others stared at my mother with curiosity. In this weather, besides beans and radishes that are cold-resistant, what else can survive?
Mrs. Lin put her hands on the table, opened her palms, and black granular seeds fell on the table along her fingers.
Mrs. Zhang picked up one, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it: "What kind of seed is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Lin Laosan and Zheng felt a little familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere.
Only Lin Tianci's eyes lit up: "It's Bupleurum seeds. I saw them on the mountain before. They can treat wind and cold diseases."
Lin Laosan slapped his thigh: "I remembered, last time I went to town, it was because of this thing that I sold it for a good price." He paused and stared at my mother in disbelief, "Mom, you don't want to plant it." Bupleurum, right?”
Mrs. Lin was also beating her head. They knew how to grow rice and wheat, and they also had experience in growing beans and sweet potatoes, but who knew how to grow medicinal materials?
The most important thing in farming is to understand the plant's habits, whether it likes water or drought, whether it needs plowing of the soil, whether it needs fertilization, whether it grows well on fertile black soil, or whether it grows quickly on dry sandy soil. .
Isn't it embarrassing for someone to have a black eye?
The whole family's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Lin, which made her speechless.
Xu Shi's little granddaughter pulled her thumb under the table and gave her courage. Mrs. Lin calmed down and said firmly.
"That's right, our family grows Bupleurum!"
