For two days in a row, Zhang Da and his three children came to work in the farmer's fields.
After yesterday's incident, no one in the village came to point a finger, but they felt a little unhappy. They felt that they were just a yellow-haired girl. She knew nothing about farming. When the autumn harvest came, she would cry.
Two days later, all the renovation of the field ridges was completed, and Zhang Da and Xiao Xiao went to the river to catch fish fry again.
Everyone who saw this didn't shake their head and sigh, and some even said that they would sue the village chief, so as not to mess up the atmosphere of the village and create a bad start due to these petty nonsense.
Zhuang Keqing didn't know that someone was going to file a complaint, but even if she knew, it didn't matter to her.
She is busy picking out fry.
There are many fish in the river, but not all of them can be used. She only chooses some omnivores and herbivores, and they will be smaller when they grow up, so she is very busy just fishing and selecting fish.
It took several days to end.
After the ridges were raised, she immediately opened the canal gates to release water. Now the water level in the fields is at least twice as high as in ordinary paddy fields.
Zhang Da and his family worked carefully, and the ridges in the field were tamped strong and sturdy. It seemed that there was no need to worry about cracks or water leakage at all.
Finally, when it was time to release the fish, Zhang Da and the three boys from his family were standing aside, watching Zhuang Keqing take a fishing net and wrap it around the gate of the canal, and then slightly tilted the wooden basin filled with fish fry. Those small fish of different colors
He jumped into the water and swam happily around the seedlings, showing no signs of discomfort at all.
"That's good."
Zhuang Keqing installed nets on two acres of paddy field and released fish fry, then stood up.
"Okay? You won't care about it from now on?" Zhang Da's son Gouzi has been busy these days and has become more curious.
"Of course I have to take care of it."
Because this was his first operation, and the fry were not big, Zhuang Keqing did not dare to be greedy for more, so he only invested six to seventy fish per acre. At this time, he saw the back scales of the small fish shining with a faint silver light under the sunlight, and he felt happy in his heart.
, and then he also became interested in some explanations.
"When it comes to hot weather, we have to open channels and change the water frequently to prevent the water temperature in the fields from being too high and killing the small fish." She explained with a smile: "If there are not enough bugs and weeds in the fields to eat, you still have to
Let’s throw in some more fish food.”
"That's too troublesome, and it wastes food." Gouzi muttered in a low voice, "It's easier to just farm."
Zhang Da frowned when he heard this, and slapped his back with his big palm.
"What are you talking about? Miss Zhuang has some ideas. You can see what she is doing when the time comes."
Zhuang Keqing didn't expect that Zhang Da would think so highly of him, and instead felt a little embarrassed.
"Uncle Zhang, my work in the field is over. I've wasted a lot of your time these days. I'll find a day later to send you some tofu, just to express my gratitude."
Zhang Dalian waved his hand. Although the work these days is troublesome, it is not so tiring compared to working in the fields at ordinary times. His family has many paddy fields and many dry fields. In addition to tending rice seedlings every day, he also has to take care of sweet potatoes.
, bean sprouts and other crops, plus cutting firewood and other chores, I am so busy every day that I can't stand up straight.
A few boys on the other side were also a little reluctant.
The food provided by the farmer is also very good. Not to mention that every meal is dry, the tofu and dried beans are all eaten when you are full, and there is also a particularly fragrant bone soup, not to mention different kinds of sweet water every day. How can you work at home?
Such treatment.
At this time, several people were reluctant to leave, and they all volunteered to express their opinions: "Whenever something happens in the fields later, please come to us for help, no matter how hard we try!"
Zhuang Keqing was amused, but she thought about it briefly and nodded in agreement.
The sun is bad in summer, and my family doesn't live off the things in the fields anyway. It's better to ask someone to help me every once in a while, which will save my mother too much fatigue.
After receiving the agreement, the young men became happy. They stood on the ridge of the field. They clearly looked much taller than Zhuang Keqing, but at this time they looked more like a group of tamed younger brothers.
Shen Ling was carrying a firewood basket and saw it from a distance.
The girl was still the same as before, exuding confidence and tenacity.
In the past few days, he had heard the rumors in the village, and he was a little worried at first, but now that he saw the other party, he didn't care at all.
It seems that this matter will not be finalized until the autumn harvest season. It is not clear who is right or wrong by then.
Thinking of this, he moved his eyes away from the people on the field ridge. After adjusting the firewood basket behind him, Shen Ling lowered his head and left. However, he didn't realize that his frowning brows had relaxed a little and his steps were brisk. Quite a few.
Shen Zhai.
After cutting firewood for almost half a month, the woodshed was already full. Shen Ling unloaded the firewood basket behind his back and was just about to bundle the firewood and stack it outside when a servant in the family mocked: "It's full here." Just put it in the kitchen and save me the trouble of moving it again. It’s no wonder the lady doesn’t want to see you if you are so poor at work.”
Shen Ling's hand holding the firewood paused lightly, and he raised his eyes and looked straight at the servant who made the noise.
His eyes were calm and calm, but his pupils were dark and deep, causing those who were stared at closely to feel an indescribable fear.
"Go and do your own work!" There was a sudden scolding. The servant trembled all over and shrank his neck, as if he had been saved. He bowed to the steward, Uncle De, who came over, and then ran away. gone.
Shen Ling still piled the firewood outside the woodshed. He put the firewood basket next to the door and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Uncle De said.
"What's the matter?"
"I will take good care of the servants in my family, you don't have to do this."
"It's not necessary?" Shen Ling then turned around and looked at the gray-haired housekeeper in front of him. "The Zhou family has the final say in the family. People here have always tried to flatter others. Even you, I'm afraid it's not the case. Is it so easy to control it?"
It was rare for him to say such a long sentence, which made Uncle De a little surprised.
Shen Ling didn't know what happened to him today. If it was normal, he would have just nodded and left.
"From the moment you entered the Shen Mansion, I knew you were a good boy, but fate is really tricky." Uncle De sighed, with some inexplicable meaning in his tone: "But even so, you are a member of the Shen Mansion in name only." My eldest son, unless one day you make a mistake, I will open an ancestral hall and remove you from the list of the Shen family."
"Until then, no matter how unfair you feel, you can only live with it."
After hearing this, Shen Ling still didn't understand.
This wet nurse, Mrs. Lin, is a bad-faced person, and Uncle De is a bad-faced person. In short, Mr. Zhou thinks that I am in the way, but my father is an official and has a heavy name, so I can’t let go of his cheap son easily. I just want to Let me find out the fault myself and provide some excuses so that the Shen family can easily and cleanly cut off the relationship. Even if someone investigates, a clean-up of family traditions and the elimination of relatives can cover up all the discord. In addition, there are Can gain a good reputation as a strict tutor.
