"It's true, it's strange that my mother isn't angry after being back for so many days. But my mother's family is rich and she has the confidence. I guess she felt that this daughter-in-law was difficult to manage, so she divorced her in anger. You said, the third child

Do you have any objections to your mother?" Zhu Er felt a little strange. It was such an important matter, but Zhu San was busy fishing all day and didn't care at all.

After all, she is still the wife of the third child, and the third child actually doesn’t care?

As a brother, one should not discuss the brother's mother-in-law, but Zhu Er also feels that if his mother-in-law's mother-in-law's family is as wealthy as the third son's mother-in-law, he would be willing to "suck it up".

His father had been "suffering" from his mother all his life, why didn't he come here anyway?

As long as I can give him a son.

"Since you were a child, when do you think you have understood the third child?" Zhu Da asked.

Zhu Er fell silent.

Even though they were brothers, he was well aware of the discord between the eldest brother and the third child.

He likes to hang out with his elder brother, naturally to save trouble and use his brain less.

As for why the third child likes to bring his younger brothers to "sing a different tune" with his eldest brother, he knows a little bit about it. Doesn't he just think that he and his eldest brother are "too stupid" and only work dully?

But how do they know that if he and his eldest brother don't work, where will they stutter?

While denouncing him and his eldest brother as "stupid", they are still eating the food he and his eldest brother grow. How shameless.

Zhu Da was silent for a long time and said, "What mother said is right."

Zhu Er asked: "What words?"

"Dad only has a few acres of land, and we have so many brothers, it's not even enough for one person to have an acre. If we don't find some other way out, we will all starve to death."

Zhu Er: "..."

He also fell silent.

But besides farming, what else do they do?

Looking up and seeing the fishing nets in the yard, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Brother, tell me, how about we go fishing like the third brother? Taidang Mountain is so big, so we can just go fishing farther away instead of fishing with them. We are brothers, why don't they have this little respect?

Are you willing to give?"

"To whom?"

"Selling to people from all over the country. There are only three of them, Lao San. How can they sell to people from all over? It's definitely not possible. Then we will go further and sell to people further away. I can't do it. This

Is it more difficult than farming? As long as you work hard, you can definitely catch fish."

"Winter is coming soon, and we won't be able to catch it for long, so there's no need to go into the water."

"Isn't it the same with farming? In winter, there is no way to farm."

…

Obviously, Zhu Er underestimated Ye Yuran's ability to act. Since she made a "bet" with Old Man Zhu and agreed that one person would be responsible for half of the land, there was no way that there would be no movement.

It's just that the autumn harvest has just been completed and there is nothing to move, so I didn't mention it.

When October ends, November and December are definitely not suitable for either sweet potatoes or rice.

Ye Yuran plans to plow the ground to prepare for next spring.

At the same time, plant some cold-resistant plants, such as winter wheat, lettuce, green vegetables, spinach, etc.

By the way, leave some land to prepare spring potatoes for January next year, which will be harvested in about 5 to 7 months. By then, around August, you can plant early winter potatoes once, and you can grow them twice a year.

In other words, she will divide the land into two pieces, one will be used as a paddy field, responsible for farming, and the other will be used as dry land, responsible for planting all kinds of things.

Paddy fields are different from dry land. They need to be "maintained". If they are not properly maintained in winter, not only water storage will be a problem in the coming year, but the fertility of the fields may not be enough. By then, the harvest will definitely be affected.

So before Zhu Da could rest for a few days, he, Zhu Wu, and Zhu Qi were called away by Ye Yuran and asked to help dig up the ground.

After the autumn harvest, there were still half-length rice piles left in the field. Ye Yuran did not let them clean them up. Instead, he borrowed oxen from the Li Zheng family and plowed the ground directly.

"Mom, what's the point of plowing the ground now? This rice will have to wait until spring tomorrow to plant." Zhu Wu was afraid that his mother had never planted the ground before and would not be able to figure it out, so he quickly explained to her that this rice was planted in spring, not this.

when.

How could Ye Yuran not know? She glanced at Zhu Wu and said, "Who said I want to plant seeds now? Have you never heard of a saying that says, 'If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools'?"

Zhu Wu answered honestly: "I haven't heard of it."

"I asked you to study hard. If you don't study hard, don't you understand? It means that if you want to do something well, you must first make preparations. What I want you to do now is preparation.

"

Zhu Da knew early on that he was named by his mother and assigned to his mother's group, but he did not expect that his mother's "preparation work" started in the first year.

Is this preparation a bit too early?

But he did not dare to talk as much as Zhu Wu, so he honestly took the plow guy, led the old buffalo to the ground, and started plowing.

When he saw the straight-column plow, Ye Yuran remembered: I x! I forgot to modify the straight-column plow.

She quickly called Zhu Wu over and explained this in his ear.

Zhu Wu was a little confused: "What? This thing also needs to be changed?"

"Change. If you don't want to change it, you can find someone to change it. Anyway, in a few days, I will see a curved one." Ye Yuran gestured, "Understand, if it looks like this, you need to add another one here.

Things, and here..."

"Wait a minute, mother, you spoke a little too fast, I can't remember it." Zhu Wu was given an "important task" for the first time, and he felt a little panicked.

Ye Yuran looked disgusted and called Zhu Qi over, asking Zhu Qi to help him carry it down, and then asked Zhu Wu to take it away.

"If you don't remember clearly, just ask Lao Qi. His memory is better than yours."

Zhu Qi, who acted as an "artificial memory", followed Zhu Wu honestly. Zhu Wu remembered what his third brother had said and glanced at this silly brother several times along the way.

He didn't understand at all, why did he become worse than a stupid brother?

Well, thinking that people usually study only once, he could only put down his unwillingness.

Is there anything I can do? He really can't read as quickly as Lao Qi.

There were no carpenters in Zhujia Village, so they had to go to the next village to find one.

Although Zhu Wu was not sure whether what his mother said was true, he still tried to make it clear to the old carpenter: "Uncle, I have a deal I want to negotiate with you."

Chai Hong is an old carpenter in the village. After bringing his son Chai Fugui out, he rarely takes on work outside the home and basically stays in the village. Unless sometimes he receives some relatively large work and has to give it to him.

Son, do me a favor.

He saw an energetic young man who suddenly ran over and said he wanted to discuss business with him. He looked at him several times.

If he hadn't been sure that this kid looked humane, he would have thought that the other person was just "bluffing" him for fun.

"Which family do you belong to? Why haven't I seen you before?" Chai Hong didn't rush to answer. He knocked on the old cigarette stick in his hand, trying to find out the details of the other party first.

Zhu Wu said: "Does Mr. Zhu know about Zhujia Village? That's my father."

"Old man Zhu?" Chai Hong turned around in his mind and didn't think of it.
