Spring scenery in the fields

"Master, Wen He is not that kind of person."

"Master understands. We have a lot of time to live together. Master can't always go to your house to ask for things for nothing."

Zhu Danian walked in front and continued.

"If you are willing to give it to me, Master, I am too embarrassed to ask for it. If you don't accept the money, I won't go to your house."

"I'll go to town to buy it myself, but I can't walk far with my old arms and legs. Are you willing to let Master run back and forth?"

Seeing him looking back, Shen Rongshan smiled and shook his head: "I can't bear to leave."

"Hey, is this right?"

He pushed open the gate and went in, then brought out two small stools.

"Sit down and talk with me. Don't be in a hurry to go back."

"Not in a hurry."

He sat down and talked to him for a while.

Shenjia Village.

Ji Wenhe went down the mountain only after seeing that everyone in Lan Qiuhua's yard had left.

Shen Wenshan tied the mouth of the cloth bag, placed the scale on the table beside him, and then took out three meat buns.

"Xiaoya, your meat bun."

Shen Suya ran quickly from the house and caught a glimpse of Ji Wenhe: "Sister-in-law is here."

"Well, where's Aunt Lan?"

"Here." Lan Qiuhua came out from the next door and said with a smile, "A few people came to buy noodles just now. They sold quite a lot. Shen Dadong is here too."

"Who?"

She didn't know them, and she had never seen many of the men in the village before, as they had gone to work in the town.

"Shen Hubiao's father."

Ji Wenhe suddenly realized: "Come on, why not do business if there is one."

"Yes, we'll do business if there's any. I'm just afraid you'll be unhappy."

The two families had a feud, and although his father should not be implicated, he couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw Shen Dadong and thought of his son.

"I'm not angry. Making money is the most important thing. What did Yuanshan say?"

Mainly the two brothers.

Lan Qiuhua shook her head: "I didn't say anything, I just smiled when I saw people."

"That's good. Shen Hubiao's affairs cannot be blamed on his father. And they are from the same village. If they have a falling out, it will be awkward for them to meet."

Ji Wenhe did not interfere in this matter. If someone came to buy things, they would sell to him. If someone did not want to buy, Ji Wenhe would not force him to do so. It was up to him.

At this time, Shen Rongshan came back from Zhaojia Village and called her softly, "Wen He."

Several people looked over.

Shen Yuanshan clapped his hands and said, "Brother, I'm going home. All the villagers who wanted to buy noodles have already bought some."

"Well, I'll go back with you."

Ji Wenhe saw him looking at him, turned around and said to Lan Qiuhua, "Aunt Lan, I'm going home too. I won't bother you tomorrow morning."

"Oh, it's nothing to bother you."

She wakes up early in the morning and won't wake her up.

After sending the three away, Shen Suya came out, held the bun in her arms and put it to her nose to smell: "Mom, the meat bun smells so good."

Lan Qiuhua squinted at her and said, "You are such a loser. Eat it at night and cover it with a bowl. Be careful of mice stealing it."

She turned and went into the house.

"Mom, it's been a long time since we saw a mouse in our house."

The family was so poor that even mice would shake their heads when they came.

"What do you care how long it has been since I last saw it? It's not a good thing, but you are still looking forward to it."

Shen Suya snorted softly and covered the meat buns with a basin.

Shen Yuanshan returned home first, and the two people behind him walked slowly.

"Wen He, I'm going to go to the mountain for a walk. You go back first."

Ji Wenhe held his hand, raised his head, and looked at him eagerly: "I will go with you, take a look and come back. I promise not to hold you back."

Shen Rongshan was silent for a moment, then reluctantly agreed: "Okay."

Holding her hand tightly, he took small steps and led her up the mountain.

"Wen He, we can buy meat and sell it later."

"Hmm? Did you find someone you know?"

"It's Boss Zhou."

Ji Wenhe asked: "How much is the purchase price?"

"A pound of fat pork costs thirty-three, pork belly thirty-one, and lean meat twenty-seven."

"I want to sell only these three kinds of meat, ribs, big bones and the like. I have to bring a knife to chop them. Farmers buy little, so I don't plan to buy in."

She nodded. Fat pork was thirty-four, pork belly was thirty-two, and lean meat was twenty-nine, all of which were one cent cheaper than in town.

"Not many people buy salt. After buying a pound, there is still a lot left."

"Farmers only eat salt once every few days." Shen Rongshan pulled aside the branches in front of him. "A pound of salt can be sold for a long time. When it is sold out, we will buy more."

Ji Wenhe looked down at the road under his feet: "I originally wanted to raise pigs at home, but raising pigs takes a long time, and I need to build a pigpen."

"We don't have any extra land, so we keep the wasteland for growing crops. Brother Shen, do you think we should raise pigs in the future? I've never raised pigs before, so I don't really understand."

I have the impression that my family raised pigs when I was very young, but the memory is very vague.

"Raise more pigs. When I save up some money, I'll buy some land next to the wasteland and build a pigpen."

Shen Rongshan took her to the place where the trap was set and let go of her hand.

"Don't walk around here, be careful not to fall in. I'll go up and take a look."

"Okay." Ji Wenhe looked at the trap, which contained many sharpened bamboo tips.

I looked up and heard him say, "We can only make money by raising pigs and selling them. My family raised pigs when I was a child. If you don't understand, you can ask Aunt Lan. Her family also raised pigs before."

When the famine came, all the chickens and pigs were sold.

"Sure, I listen to you."

The two wandered around the mountain and then returned home.

Shen Wenshan went to cut the grass for the wild rabbits to eat, and after taking it home, he saw that they were not eating it, so he called the three people over.

"They don't eat and keep hiding in the corner. Are they scared?"

Ji Wenhe didn't understand and looked at the people around him: "Brother Shen, Uncle Danian said that rabbits are not easy to raise. It's not as simple as you say."

Shen Rongshan squatted beside the cage and handed the grass to their mouths, but the rabbits did not move.

He frowned and said, "I heard that rabbits are easy to raise. Just feed them grass, keep them in a dry place and keep them clean."

There is hay under the cage. The sun is bright today, but it is not cold.

Ji Wenhe held his chin up and said, "Brother Shen, he is talking about white rabbits, pet rabbits and wild rabbits should be different."

"Maybe he didn't explain it in detail, and there are many things he didn't tell you."

The four of them were all novices in raising rabbits.

Shen Rongshan often hunted wild rabbits, thinking that as long as he fed the rabbits grass, he would not have to worry about anything else.

Shen Yuanshan was worried that the rabbit would starve to death if it didn't eat grass: "Brother, I'll go call Uncle Da Nian."

"Well, let's go."

The only person we can find right now is Zhu Danian.

That day, Ji Wenhe was sitting in the yard sewing clothes, and it was drizzling outside.

I glanced at the cage next to me and saw that there was no rabbit in it.

Five days passed and the rabbit neither ate nor drank, and successfully starved itself to death, died of thirst, or perhaps died of fright.

Zhu Danian came several times and tried everything, even holding the baby in his arms and coaxing him like a baby, but there was still no effect.

Her plan to raise rabbits was completely strangled in the cage.

Shen Rongshan came back from the field wearing a straw raincoat. Seeing her looking at him aggrievedly, he approached her with concern, squatted down and asked, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ji Wenhe shook his head: "I thought rabbits were easy to raise."

He was silent for a moment: "I also thought it was easy to raise."
