Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 314 Watering the Ground

"Aunt Niu, we haven't divided the family yet, and the money is not earned by me alone, they all have a share, and I don't spend all the money on them."

Reasonable allocation.

If you look deeper, you will find that the more than fifty taels of silver were earned by Shen Rongshan and Zhu Danian.

The three brothers listened to her and let her distribute the money as she pleased.

If Shen Rongshan took out thirty or forty taels of silver to share with the two brothers and only gave her ten taels, she would have nothing to say, after all, the money was not earned by her.

To go into more detail, when she first came here, she had no money. If it weren't for Shen Rongshan, how would they have the money to do the peddler business, and she would not have the capital to make bracelets, and later dolls, etc.

So some things cannot be taken too seriously. When she and Shen Rongshan are able, they will do their best to help them and make their lives easier in the future.

"Then who will pay you back when you borrow the money?"

She replied: "We will pay it back together."

Niu Guilan shook her head: "Wenshan and Yuanshan are also very lucky to have met a good sister-in-law like you."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If they treat me well, I will definitely treat them well too. He is my husband's younger brother, my brother-in-law. Of course, I will help them as much as I can if I am able."

She joked: "If they treat me badly, I won't buy them land, build them houses, or marry them off. I'll just let them make money on their own."

"If you have the ability to make money, you can marry a wife. If you don't, you will be single for life. People are interdependent. We are a family and we help each other."

"Tsk, how nice it would be if you were my daughter-in-law."

"Aunt Niu, please stop teasing me. Qianfan from your family will find a girl who is a hundred times better than me. I am not that good at all. I can't save any money. I spend it whenever I have it."

Niu Guilan sighed: "Wen He, the more I see you, the more I like you. It's a pity that my son doesn't have that blessing. It's your Rongshan family that is lucky to marry a good daughter-in-law like you."

"Okay Aunt Niu, please stop praising me, or I will be so proud of myself."

She laughed twice, turned around and looked at the people building the house: "Your family will treat you to a meal when the house is built. I was expecting to have three meals."

Ji Wenhe replied: "I will treat the villagers to a meal after my house is built. I don't have that much money, I have to save it for the twins to marry."

"That's right. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go to Zhaojia Village and take a look around."

"Hey, Aunt Niu, take care."

Looking at her back, I thought to myself, every time I came to ask, she said she had no money or had borrowed from others. I didn't know if she believed it or not.

Forget it, everyone in the village says so anyway. They all say they have no money, are poor, and have to borrow from others.

Believe it or not is other people's business.

Ji Wenhe said something to Lan Qiuhua outside the courtyard gate, borrowed the dung bucket, and carried water from the pit to water the fields.

The wooden basin has not been made yet, so we have to wait a few days.

I carried the bucket to the roadside. There were winter melons and pumpkins planted on the wasteland, and the vines were climbing up the fence.

"Wen He, drag a few branches to the side, don't let them climb up, go around to the bottom."

"Aunt Zhao, I was just thinking about it. After I finish watering the manure, I'll drag some branches over."

Zhao Sanniang saw some branches not far away, picked up a bunch of them, gently pulled down the vines on the fence, and wrapped them around the branches.

Ji Wenhe saw it and said quickly: "Aunt Zhao, I'll come over later."

"It's okay. I've finished my family chores and I'm free anyway."

Li Yujiao walked over slowly with her big belly: "Aunt Zhao, sister-in-law."

The two turned back.

Zhao Sanniang asked: "Yujiao, when will the baby be born?"

"October."

"That's soon, there are still four months."

She nodded: "Yeah, I just don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

He looked up at Ji Wenhe and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that your family wants to buy two acres of wasteland."

This Niu Guilan, it’s only been a short while since she left. Isn’t she talking too fast?

"Yes, I bought two pieces of wasteland in the south and planned to grow crops. I will grind them into flour and sell them in the village."

"Sister-in-law, we farmers buy the most black flour, and less fine rice and corn flour."

"We can plant wheat, beans, corn, etc., grind them into flour and mix them together. We can make as much as we can. With four acres of land, I think we can make 500 kilograms."

"If they can't make that much, they can go to the town to buy some more supplies, or wait until they have money in the future and buy two acres of wasteland and do it themselves, which will save a lot of money."

Li Yujiao asked: "Sister-in-law, the black noodles sold in our town are all made from bad grains. Your family makes them with good grains. Is the price one cent higher than in town or the same?"

Ji Wenhe put down the dung shovel and turned to look at her: "I haven't thought about this problem yet. If nothing unexpected happens, the price is three cents per pound. There are more peddlers in the village. If our family sells it for four cents, then we will have no business."

Zhao Sanniang agreed: "Yes, they don't care whether your noodles are made from good grains or bad grains, they only care about the lower price."

"Aunt Zhao is right. Not all wasteland should be planted with the same crops. If you plant less crops like beans and corn, you won't get much money if you sell them in town."

"When it's time to plant wheat, plant all the wheat, sell the wheat harvest, and then plant other crops."

But it depends on the two brothers themselves. Let them make the decision.

Li Yujiao turned her head and looked at the wasteland behind her, which was full of weeds. "The pig manure is used to cultivate the land, and the weeds are removed. I think we can plant it in the spring of next year."

Pigs eat a lot and poop a lot.

"Take your time." Ji Wenhe replied.

We were so busy building the house that we haven’t even cut the weeds on the three plots of land next to the pigpen. Together with the two plots here, there are five plots of land in total.

She is alone and doesn't know how long she will be busy.

After watering the manure, Shen Liang came back from cutting grass for the pigs. Seeing her taking a bucket to fetch water, he quickly said, "Put it there. I'll go later."

"it is good."

Put down the bucket, take the dried branches back and pile them up, and leave the undried ones there to dry them tomorrow.

Busy until the evening.

Ji Wenhe carried a basket to the vegetable field to pick beans and saw Li Chunhong squatting in the field cutting grass.

"Aunt Li, why don't you go back and cook?"

"I'll finish harvesting this and cook the beans for dinner."

"Yes, make some bean soup. The weather is too hot and I don't have much appetite. I can't even eat brown rice. I thought I'd pick some beans and make some soup and bake some vegetable cakes."

I don’t have any sugar at home, otherwise I could make some mixed tomatoes.

Pick a few more cucumbers and take them back to beat them.

Li Chunhong glanced at her vegetable patch and said, "Wen He, the vegetables in your patch are better than those grown by people in the village."

"I've fertilized the land with a lot of fertilizer. Now that I have pigs at home, I have to use the water from the puddle to irrigate the land every now and then. If the land doesn't grow well, I'll be sorry for all my hard work."
