"Cai Xue, didn't you go to the town to sell cakes today?" It was not yet dawn, and the people in Xinghua Village had already set up. They walked quickly to their fields with hoes or shovels and other agricultural tools. They met acquaintances on the way. They will walk and chat.
Cai Xue strode forward without stopping, and replied, "You didn't go either. I think the Xiong family left two young ladies at home today, and the others have also left."
?The peasants have their backs to the loess and their faces to the sky. Since ancient times, they have pointed to the little grain in the field to fill their stomachs. Even if the pastry makes money, it is impossible for them not to cultivate the land for the pastry. In the days of May, every household is busy with the work in the field. Except for a few hunters and those who have no land at home, no one does the pastry business.
But they don't go to the town to sell, but the people in the town still want to eat. Therefore, the villagers who sell pastries in the town these days earn a lot more, almost twice the usual amount.
"I see that Xiong Butcher's family got up early today, so they got up too." The villagers blinked ambiguously at Cai Xue.
The whole village is only that big, and Xiong Zhuangshan's family attracts a lot of attention. Normally, the villagers will pay more attention to him whether they intend to or not. At the beginning, I didn¡¯t find anything special. After a long time, the villagers noticed that the Xiong¡¯s house smoke was different from them. Generally, the villagers had two meals and had breakfast late, so they didn¡¯t take the Xiong¡¯s breakfast which was also a late riser. Take it to heart.
Gradually, I realized that the smoke from Xiong's house had risen three times, and that was the three meals. Since it is three meals, why is breakfast cooked so late. A villager believed it and looked around, only to find that every morning, it was the vicious butcher himself who was busy in the yard, and he had never seen the little husband in his family. The villagers guessed that the little husband hadn't woken up yet. There were no parents-in-law to take care of, and no children to take care of. There was only one husband, and it was not impossible to sleep until the sun was up.
The juniors in the village turned their heads to look at their seniors and juniors, envious and jealous of this guess. Those who are older will not have this kind of envy and jealousy. They only think that Tang Shou is lazy.
Cai Xue and his wife lived close to Xiong's house, so they would inevitably be reprimanded by their elders. His family has received a lot of favors from the Xiong family. The elders are not ungrateful, but this does not prevent them from using Tang Shou as a model to teach the children in the family. It is nothing more than urging the children to make progress, and there is no malice.
Cai Xue ignored the winks from the villagers, followed by Father Cai, who used Tang Shou as an example to reprimand the younger generation, and snorted softly: "Then can Mr. Xiong be the same as us mud legs? What about the mouth that is waiting to be fed. Which of the younger generations in our family has the ability of Mr. Xiong, sitting at home, doing nothing, and earning a lot of money by hiring a job as a master. If you have that ability, let alone go to bed early. I serve him three meals a day, I am willing."
The villagers kept their mouths shut, but no, if there is any junior in their family who has the ability of Xiong Fulang, then they will treat him as a father, and they will serve as sons clearly.
The younger generation of the Cai family secretly said: "Father, it seems that you didn't say that when you taught us back then."
The Xiong's house also had breakfast at this time, Tang Shou hadn't woken up so early when he came to the Xiong's house, and stared at the still dark sky outside the window in a daze, so sleepy that his head was almost stuck in the rice bowl.
Today I have to plow the land. This is a laborious job. I am afraid that Xiong Zhuangshan will not have enough food and will not have the strength to work. Tang Shou does everything dry.
Woke up too early, Tang Shou was sleepy and had no appetite, Xiong Zhuangshan had already eaten the third bowl before finishing one bowl of rice.
Seeing Tang Shou's appearance, Xiong Zhuangshan said: "If you are sleepy, you can go back to the kang and sleep in the cage. I can do it by myself in the field. I did it by myself before, and I have done it. It is no worse than others. "
"No." Tang Shou shook his head vigorously when he heard the words, trying to wake himself up, "You are alone every year. Now that there is more of me in the family, how can I let you do it all by yourself."
"It's okay, I have plenty of strength, and this little work is nothing."
"That doesn't work either, this is the two of us."
'This house belongs to the two of us'. Xiong Zhuangshan was so impressed by these words, he took a deep look at Tang Shou, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and didn't argue any more.
The two had breakfast, filled two large water bags, and brought some dry food for lunch. It takes more than half an hour to walk from the ground to Xinghua Village, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth, which is too time-consuming. The villagers don't go home to eat, and they take dry food casually, and deal with it when they are hungry.
Xiong's family has a small number of people, and the work is heavy. Naturally, it is impossible to waste time on the road, so they follow the example of the villagers and prepare their own dry food.
Xiong Zhuangshan??Xiong Zhuangshan's meaningful smile made the hairs on his neck stand on end, and his buttocks felt a little sore.
The two of them stopped working, and went directly to the town to sell cattle.
The villagers who didn't know the truth made wild guesses when they saw them leave.
"Could it be that Mr. Xiong broke his foot, and the butcher Xiong took him to see it?"
"Impossible. Look at Xiong Fulang's legs and feet when he walked. If he was injured so badly, how could he walk?"
"Then why don't you plow the land? Every year, Xiong Zhuangshan is the one who can get up early and stay late, for fear of falling behind, why do you throw away half of it?"
Everyone in the village looked puzzled, so no one expected that the two of them would come back with a cow in the afternoon.
This I went to buy a cow, so I dropped my foot, and bought a cow without any injuries. Last year, Zhang Laosan in the village accidentally broke a toe while farming, so he didn't buy a cow.
"This cow is newly bought." A villager couldn't help but asked.
Normally, Xiong Zhuangshan is the last person who is reluctant to answer the villagers' gossip. He always hums coldly, but now he said with an uncharacteristically pleasant face: "Yes."
But the villagers were so frightened by this attitude that they almost thought they had seen a ghost, when did Butcher Xiong talk so easily. Seeing that he continued to ask me all over his face, the expression I wanted to show off, the villagers rubbed their faces, thinking that they must be tired and dizzy, this can't be Xiong Butcher, Xiong Butcher is not such a person.
But the mouth subconsciously said: "Why do I suddenly buy cattle at this time, and cattle are more expensive than usual every year during the busy farming season."
After the villagers asked, they saw Butcher Xiong's eyes light up.
He said: "My husband said he loves me so much that he doesn't want me to do farm work by myself, so he bought a cow!"
Who is this? This person whose tone is full of showing off must not be Xiong Zhuangshan, Xiong Zhuangshan is absolutely impossible to be such a person! What about his violent and cruel persona! This must be fake.
"Butbut you can buy it early, why don't you buy it early."
Suddenly, Xiong Zhuangshan's face turned back to the original expressionless face, and he looked at the speaker coldly, who is this person, really blank. He said that he was the most impatient to talk to the villagers.
Xiong Zhuangshan glared at the person who asked the question, and the person backed away in fright, his legs limp. Xiong Zhuangshan led the ox and walked away.
Uncharacteristically, Xiong Butcher stopped to talk to them, was it really just to show off, just to say that?
Having a cow really saves labor, and Xiong Zhuangshan is capable. He is the first one in the village to finish the farm work at home.
As soon as he finished his work, someone came to borrow cattle.
"Cow, I have to rest for a day. Then I have to send it to my mother's house. I don't know how many days I will be back. If you are too tired, you have to rest. This cow is not tired." Tang Shou said: "If you still want to use it after the rest, then Thirty Wen a day."
Everyone with cattle in the village pays this price, so naturally his family can't let the villagers do nothing for nothing. The village hires helpers for thirty renminbi a day. Cows are more capable than humans, but they are animals after all, so they only pay thirty renminbi a day.
It is not a big deal for Xiong's family to buy a cow. After all, his family has made money now, and it is nothing more than buying a cow. But what is coquettish is that Xiong Zhuangshan deliberately showed off, and this matter was quickly spread by everyone as a chat after dinner.
In Xiaonan Village, Zhao's family heard that Xiong's family bought cattle, and they didn't know what to think. They even told their daughter to take the cattle home for a few days. Aunt Xiong has completely separated from her natal family, she just sneered at this and never mentioned it to Xiong Tie.
Xiong Zhuangshan rested at home for two days and then started to get busy again.
Tang Shou wanted to build a B&B. Xiong Zhuangshan looked at the blueprint of the B&B in Tang Shou's mouth, and it was even more luxurious than the houses in the town. It was impossible to build it without a thousand taels of silver.
But now they only have three or four hundred taels in their hands. This is a huge amount of money in a farm family, but it is actually not enough. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
