Two hundred and twentieth festival son-in-law and husband-in-law
Two Hundred and Twenty Days Son-in-law and Father-in-law
"Xiao Xi, just marry Er Yin. The wealth will not go to outsiders - besides, she is still young, so there is no need to worry." Fu Bu'er said confidently, "Marrying Er Yin will save you a lot of gift money, and she will be a capable person in the future.
Man. As for Yijin, I think Xiaofu is a good kid. He will definitely be prosperous in the future. If you get married now, you won’t lose anything in the future."
The couple stayed together for half the night before going to bed. The next day, Fu Fu got up early and went to the fields with everyone with his hoe. The attitude of Fu Fuji and his wife at the banquet yesterday made him feel that marrying his wife was a problem.
Although he is no longer related to the Fu family, he is likely to be the son-in-law and father-in-law in the future. Of course, Fu Fu will have to work hard to show off.
Although Fu Buer is a bit of a coward on weekdays, he is a good hand at work. Before going out, he assigned jobs to everyone. Everyone has a specific job, such as digging ditches, playing fields, accumulating fertilizer, etc.
Those in the pigsty, those tending the sheep, those planting the gardens... everything is in good order.
Although Fu Buer's family has more people, they also have a lot of land, and they have to engage in side businesses. The labor force is not abundant. Recently, the wages of short-term and long-term workers have skyrocketed, and it is difficult to find manpower, and he can hire fewer people. Fu Buer sells to Tiandihui
His agricultural equipment such as threshing machines and winnowing windmills greatly improved production efficiency and he inspired me - since it is not economical to use manpower, use more machines. During the autumn harvest, I used a bank loan to buy an additional cow and bought it from the Tiandihui store.
They bought a small tractor-type harvester and a seeder produced by an agricultural tool factory. Two cows pulled agricultural machinery for animal-powered operations, making Fu Fuji's field the first to complete harvesting and sowing.
While other farmers are still busy threshing grain and planting green manure and winter wheat, Fu Buer's family has already begun to build water conservancy, accumulate fertilizer and engage in sideline business.
Fu Buer also wanted to win over Fu Fu and worked with him to build a ditch. The farmland water conservancy in Meiyang Village had been repaired not long ago. The farmland water conservancy standards here were not as high as those in farms directly under the agricultural department, and the facilities were much more primitive.
, the ditch has not been hardened, and after a summer of use, especially after the rainy season, the ditch is heavily silted. The main canal and branch canals are uniformly sent by the village to clear the silt. As for the silt in the irrigation and drainage ditches, they are maintained according to who benefits.
In principle, it is up to each household to clean up by themselves. In this way, water conservancy facilities can be maintained and the silt in the ditch can be used as fertilizer material.
The black and smelly mud was shoveled out with spades one by one and thrown into the basket on the shore. From time to time, lively loaches could be dug out of the mud. At this time, Fu Fu would hold the gills of the loaches and use
The wicker sticks were pierced and hung on the side, and the loaches that were cut into several pieces were also picked up one by one and thrown into a small basket - to eat the same when they went home. In the past, this was a rare opportunity for them to give their teeth as a sacrifice. Even now, he doesn't
Break this habit.
Fu Fu was only wearing a homespun jacket - the Army issued cotton underwear in winter, but Fu Fu was reluctant to wear it - and around his neck was an Army standard towel with the words "Protect the Home and the Country" hanging on it.
The beads of sweat glistened in the sun, and Fu Fu thought that he would never suffer a loss if his daughter gave him - where could he find such good labor? Seeing him stop temporarily and take a breath, he then picked up a bamboo kettle and gave it to Fu Fu with a smile.
.
Fu Fu took a sip of water and wiped his sweat with a towel. He breathed a sigh of contentment, and doing farm work gave him a sense of joy. Fu Buer said: "Take a break first! There is a ditch here. One
I can’t finish my breath!”
Fu Fu wiped his mouth, returned to the ditch, rubbed his muddy feet on the withered grass beside the ditch, and sat down.
"Master, we have added a lot of land to our family."
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to the chief. A lot of land has been added, but a large part of it is considered public land. Chief Wu gave it to me as a tenant farmer. I received a share of the land. The harvest was good, and there were more of them.
Take it." Fu Buer said and took out a cigarette. Fu Fu took out a pack of matches from his trouser pocket and lit it for him.
Fu Buer happily squinted his eyes and blew out a puff of smoke. "The ten thousand leaders of the Tiandihui are an incredible figure. There are so many people who farm the land, and all the farmers here put together can't even match one of his toes."
He praised Wan Lihui in his mouth, but in fact he was proud of his original foresight. If he hadn't joined the Tiandihui first, how could we have been in this situation today? Fu Buer can see clearly: Australians like to set a "pace-setter" and they cause trouble.
, it will always be of great benefit if you are the first to jump out and agree, but it will be far worse for those who follow up later.
"Master Fu, you can see far." Fu Fu complimented.
This tickled Fu Buer's itch, which made him open his mouth and laugh. He pointed:
"Look at this land, with the mounds to the east, the woods to the west, and the ditch to the north..." He showed off his family property.
"How come the master's land has become so neat? Is it all newly bought?" Fu Fu suddenly discovered something, "Wasn't the land to the west originally a wasteland?"
"But this piece of land is all my own. I sold all the scattered pieces of land here and there, and with the money I got, I bought around this piece of land. I tried to save as much land as possible into one big piece, and then I bought it next to this piece of land.
Some wastelands were opened up and connected into one..."
"Creating wasteland?" Fu Fu was a little surprised. This land was originally the largest piece of land in the Fu family. Fu Buer and his family had originally opened up wasteland bit by bit. It was not easy to open up wasteland.
Not only does it consume a lot of labor, but wasteland also requires a lot of fertilizer. Without fertilizer, the land that was finally cleared will not yield much harvest.
"Heaven and Earth will have a land reclamation team. They have special large machines, pulled by more than a dozen oxen, and they can clear and level the land in three or four days. Fertilizers are also provided by Tiandi, and they are all shipped in packages...
…" Thinking of this, Fu Fu'er was a little worried about his loan problem. To hire Tiandi Hui's mechanized farming team and to use fertilizers were all bank loans.
Fu Fu had seen this kind of machine when he was working as a farmer. It was made of iron, and its size was amazing. By replacing different parts, it could be used to do various farm work, including plowing, harrowing, plowing, and sowing.
Harvesting... is simply omnipotent, but the land must be large enough to be used - so so far it has only been used on the chiefs' own farms. Local indigenous people, even big landowners, rarely have such a large piece of land.
.
Unexpectedly, Master Fu actually acquired such a large piece of land! Fu Fu thought, needless to say, the master wanted to use Australian large farm tools for more work in the future - saving people and effort.
"I think I want to use Australian machines to do more work in the future."
"Chief Wan said that machine work is the way forward, and people work too slowly." Fu Buer said, "It's called...efficiency? Yes, it's called efficiency. He said that our efficiency here is too low."
Fu Fuji's method of gathering scattered places into one was not originally for the purpose of using machinery, but was inspired by his chat with Wan Lihui - he had received inspiration many times from chats with chiefs. Facts
It proves that leaders are always far-sighted.
Wan Lihui talked about the issue of labor efficiency during the chat. He believed that the current labor efficiency in the East Village is not as good as that in the West Village. Because the land of the new immigrants in the West Village is uniformly distributed, and the land of each family is together, there are very few farmers in the East Village.
Many people own their own land, and many of them own land here and there. Whether they are farmers, landlords, tenants, or long-term and short-term workers who work for others, they spend a lot of time traveling between fields every day, which adds up to a lot of time.
Big consumption.
Concentrated farming of large areas of land also has great other benefits. For example, it is easy to arrange the layout of farmland water conservancy construction. Fragmented small pieces of land involve the specific interests of each household, and it is difficult to form a consensus among the whole village. Meiyang Village
Being able to complete the infrastructure construction, and to a large extent, the rapid prosperity has set an example - if everyone believes in the Heaven and Earth Society, farmland water conservancy can be promoted relatively smoothly.
"No matter what, the chiefs like to be big!" Fu Fu said and smiled, and Fu Buer also smiled.
Fu Buyer took a few puffs of cigarette and then said slowly: "Xiaofu, you have been in my house for more than ten years. Although you are not my son, after all, I have supported you for more than ten years." He smoked
Taking a puff of the cigarette, he seemed to be trying to figure out what to say next, "I understand exactly what you are thinking."
Fu Fu's face turned red: "Master Fu, just understand."
"I agreed to this matter." He stopped Fu Fu, who was beaming with joy, "I can promise you one gold, but you are still a soldier and cannot get married. As a soldier, you live in a group house.
, I have to practice every day, and maybe go out to see the battle. Yijin is a girl, so I can’t go to the barracks with you."
"Yes. I'm also thinking about when I can retire from the army..."
"What are you doing after retiring from the army?!" Fu Buer quickly interrupted him, "What are you going to do when you return from the army? Are you going to be a common man farming? You have done a good job in the team, you must be motivated..."
Fu Fu was not stupid, and he quickly understood that Fu Fu Er wanted him to become an officer before he could get married. He immediately said: "Master Fu, don't worry about this. I will join the teaching team and become a sergeant during the Chinese New Year. I will see what happens next."
Those who are officers have only fought a few battles with the leaders. When I fight another battle, I will become an officer."
Fu Buyer was very satisfied with his attitude and acted like an elder: "You are still young. One gold is not that big. Waiting for a few years until you get married with a sign on your shoulders, wouldn't it be more dignified than now?"
"
"The master is right." These words aroused Fu Fu's ambition to build a career, and he nodded, "I will definitely become an officer and then marry in a glorious way!"
"Don't worry. I won't be able to treat you badly when you get married," Fu Buyer said.
"Thank you dad..."
"Hehehe," Fu Buer smiled proudly, "It's a little early to call me daddy. You can do it at home, but don't do it when you go out..." He waved his hand and said, "Continue working."
