After lunch, the more Mr. Tian thought about it, the more he felt that the third room seemed unmanageable and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up, picked up his old cigarette and went for a walk outside.
"Hey, Old Tian, why are you here? Are you still strong?" When we walked to the village head under the banyan tree, some people who were not used to taking naps were setting up chessboards. They were also old people in the village. When they saw Mr. Tian, they were all very surprised.
"Lao He and Lao Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. You two old bones are still healthy." The old man was a little happy to see his old friend. He went over to look at the chessboard between the two and asked: "Who will eat first?"
A child?”
"It's still a tie now, why are you back? Yokogawa is so easy to play?" Lao He laughed: "You are the luckiest old man here now. The boss has become an official, and the third boss can't see it.
Now that things are getting better, everyone says that your Tian family is now the first in the village."
Seeing someone praising and admiring him, the old man was very happy. He narrowed his eyes with a smile and said modestly: "Everywhere, it is all thanks to the blessings of the villagers."
"Originally, when your eldest son went to Henghe, he and his third son moved into a house, and everyone in the house followed him to enjoy the blessings. Only the third son and his wife were left in the same room. Originally, I still felt a little bit uncomfortable in my heart. This is also true.
It's so unlikeable. But I don't think that everyone has their own fate. The third child is really striving to live up to his own standards. Now he buys land and raises a girl who works as a long-term worker. I look at it,
Their properties may be even better in the future."
After hearing this, Mr. Tian saw that they were praising the third child but never said a word to Tian Huaide. His smile gradually became stiff, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
"Don't tell me, those children seem to be very polite, especially Xiao Wu and Yan Yatou. Oh, their mouths are as sweet as honey. They coax people as if they have fallen into honey.
The jar is gone." Lao He laughed, one of his front teeth was missing, and he looked very happy.
"Don't talk about other things, but this time, I think I also misjudged it. Old man, you haven't seen the rice fields and fish farming done by your third son, have you? I'm afraid it can really be done." Lao Li added: "Originally, I really thought
It can't be done, after all, this is something that has never happened to our ancestors. Ha, this morning I went to the fields to look at the crops, and I took a detour to see the fields of the third family. It was really weird, those fish were all
Now that I have grown taller, I can swim happily."
"Old Li, do you think it's really possible?" Mr. Tian asked after hearing what he said: "Is this crop dead? That's why I came home. I wanted to take a look in the fields. As you know,
, the most important thing for us farmers is crops and food, which is really our life."
Lao Li is also an experienced farmer. He said that it can really be done in eight or nine years.
Lao Li pondered for a moment, took a puff of dry tobacco and said, "I couldn't tell you at first, but now it looks a bit similar. How about we go to the fields and have a look now?"
Mr. Tian originally wanted to go to the fields to take a look. He immediately agreed, cleared the chessboard, and the three men, who were over fifty years old, slowly walked out of the village.
Most of the land in Yangmei Village is concentrated in one area, and it is not far away. Mr. Tian and the others soon arrived at the Xie family's land newly bought by Tian Minyan.
"Actually, the land in Lao Xie's house is the best. It has a single puddle, which is very nice, and the land is also fat. It's a pity that Mr. Xie is only tall but not temperamental, so everything has failed." Lao He looked at it.
He sighed with openness: "If Lao Xie knew something underground, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would jump out of his grave."
"This is the fate of each person." Lao Li also said: "After all, Lao Tian, you are lucky."
"That's right." Although this land belongs to the third child, his surname is also Tian. Mr. Tian is naturally happy. The more land there is and the more people there are, the more prosperous the family will be.
"Here we come, look." Lao He suddenly pointed at the paddy field and shouted.
I saw a group of small golden carps swimming happily in the field water, and some were pecking at the newly grown grass beside the rice. On the other side, there were different grass carp and crucian carp swimming in the gaps between the rice.
go.
"No wonder Yan Yatou said that if you raise fish like this, you can also eat the grass in the ground. You see, it is really cleaner, but it wastes a lot of time in weeding."
Mr. Tian knelt down, grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it carefully. He felt a little relieved when he saw that no fish had bitten him.
"It also depends on the harvest time. We can't say for sure right now." He stood up and said.
"That's natural. If this can really happen, it will be amazing. This will be a good harvest. If it really happens, we will do the same thing next spring." Lao He said.
"I heard that the county magistrate also came to see me this morning, but I didn't see him." Lao Li suddenly said.
"What, you mean the county magistrate?" Mr. Tian was stunned, looked at Lao Li and asked, "Come to see our land?"
This news is too shocking. Why haven't you heard of it before? Even when Lan'er went to Henghe, she didn't say that Lao San and the others were related to the county magistrate?
I didn't rely on Tian Huaide to make a living, and now I have alarmed the county magistrate, the third room, too many things happened that he didn't know about.
"Yes, you don't know? I came here when the hundred acres of wasteland were being cultivated earlier, and even went to your house for dinner. Didn't your third son tell you?" Lao Li was a little surprised.
Mr. Tian showed off and said a little embarrassedly: "Here, Yangmei Village and Henghe are far apart, so there will be no news for a while."
"I heard that the adults are looking forward to your family a lot, and this time too, as well as the wasteland and the method of raising fish. Oh, if it really comes true, it will be really amazing."
Mr. Tian chuckled and looked away, with a particularly complicated look in his eyes.
After leaving the field, Mr. Tian slowly walked to the back mountain alone. When he got closer, he stopped in his tracks.
The wild grass and bushes that used to be there have long since disappeared, and are now replaced by dark wilderness like stairs, with some people planting something on their backs.
Is this the wasteland?
Mr. Tian was stunned. Looking at the completely changed wasteland, he felt as if he was not in reality.
He walked closer and grabbed a handful of soil. It was still the kind of muddy land on the hillside, with more sand than mud. Could this really turn into fertile farmland?
He was suddenly a little uncertain. The incident in the third house made him feel that it was not expected at all. He also thought that although the third house was living a better life, it was never as good as the boss when he became an official.
But when he came back this time, what he saw was that although the third son and the others were still farming, he had to admit that the most honest third son's family was slowly changing, and this change was caused by the separation of the family and his family.
It was just a matter of fact, which made him feel very disappointed.
Mr. Tian sighed and turned around instead of going up again. However, his back was a little more bumpy than when he came here.
