Xie Songlin thought of the new plow and harvester that Xie Wanxing had drawn. He didn't know where Mr. Zhao was now or what happened to the new plow. He wondered whether he should ask Xie Songmu to try to make two to use first.
This plow was designed based on the existing plow, and the changes were not particularly outrageous, so it should not attract much attention after it was completed. The main thing was the harvester, which could be said to be an epoch-making work without exaggeration. At this moment, he wanted to praise his eldest daughter again, but with the money and manpower currently available, he could not do it.
At this moment, Xie Songmu can be said to be the busiest person in the entire village. They have just settled down and now there is a lot of work to be done. Everything has to be done from scratch and everything has to be made fresh. He stays at home doing carpentry every day. The wood and other things are all cut down by Xie Songbai and others in the mountains and brought back to him.
Everyone is looking forward to buying all the necessities of life as soon as possible, but life is tight and people in other families cannot wait that long. If they go out to buy things, the prices are ridiculously high, which is really prohibitive.
Xie Songmu is an honest man. He not only has good craftsmanship, but is also very generous. There are a few young men in the village who envy his craftsmanship and think that if they can learn some carpentry skills from him, they can help now and have a skill in the future to reduce the burden on their family.
So he mustered up his courage and expressed to Xie Songmu his desire to learn from him. When Xie Songmu heard this, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face and he readily agreed without hesitation.
In his heart, everyone had experienced the hardships of fleeing together, and the mutual support and care they had shown along the way had deepened their bond. If he could pass on his skills to others, the village would have more help in making furniture and essential farm tools.
In this way, a passion for learning skills quietly spread throughout the village.
When Xie Songlin entered the room, he was making a bed for Old Lady Shen. The old lady was old. Although she had fled by carriage and had not suffered much, her body was a little weak after the journey. Now that she had settled down, he couldn't let her sleep on the floor all the time. If moisture invaded her body, it would be troublesome and she might suffer from a lot of illnesses.
So Xie Songmu was thinking in his heart that the most important and top priority thing at the moment was to quickly make a bed for Old Lady Shen.
There were a few young men gathered in the yard who had come to learn the art. When they saw Xie Songlin come in, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted him in unison with warm and sincere smiles on their faces, "Hello, Uncle Songlin!"
Xie Songlin said: "Okay, everyone is fine."
"Songlin is coming!"
"Third brother, I want to talk to you about something. Come out with me." Xie Songlin saw that there was really no place to stand in the yard, so he waved to Xie Songmu and motioned him to come out.
Xie Songmu followed Xie Songlin outside the courtyard, full of doubts. As soon as he stopped, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Songlin?"
Xie Songlin asked, "Third brother, that plow you made at the farm with Mr. Zhao and the others, if you had the blueprints, how long did you say it would take to make one?"
Xie Songmu understood Xie Songlin's idea immediately after hearing this. He scratched his head and thought about the previous situation carefully in his mind. Then he slowly replied, "Well, it will take about half a month, Songlin. I also know about the land division. The plows should be in short supply. Everyone is rushing to farm now. I can only make one plow every half a month. There are so many households in the village, so it's not enough. We have to use it first."
After listening to Xie Songmu's words, Xie Songlin's mind turned quickly twice. The money he had on hand was still sufficient for the time being. If he really wanted to buy some old plowing tools from Dajing, it would not be a big problem.
It doesn't cost much to buy some farm tools now, but if you give them to the villagers for free, they will inevitably become spoiled over time. If you can't distribute other things to the villagers later, they may complain.
A little bit of rice brings gratitude, a peck of rice brings resentment. This is not the situation he wants to see, so the matter of buying plow tools needs to be considered carefully and a comprehensive solution must be found.
Xie Songlin was immersed in his thoughts when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels not far away.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a carriage coming straight towards them. The carriage was not going too fast, but the dust it raised was still clearly visible in the sunlight.
Xie Songlin couldn't help but squint his eyes, trying to see the situation on the carriage more clearly, and he was secretly wondering in his heart, why is this carriage coming towards them?
As he thought about it, he stood there and watched the carriage getting closer and closer.
With the sound of the brakes coming down, the carriage stopped steadily in front of Xie Songlin's house. Xie Songlin was full of surprise, secretly thinking that this person was really here to find him.
But before he could recover from his surprise, the person who got off the carriage made him even more surprised and happy. Before he could even open his mouth to greet them, he saw a small figure suddenly jump out of his house.
Xie Wanxing quickly ran from his home towards the newcomer, happily shouting, "Grandpa Zhao!"
Hey, isn't this the old man Zhao that Xie Songlin was just thinking about in his heart! This is really a case of "speak of the devil and he will appear."
Xie Songlin never expected that when he was worrying about the new plow and thinking that it would be great if Mr. Zhao was here, he would appear at this moment by chance, as if it was God who specially arranged for him to solve his urgent problem.
He hurried over, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Hey! Ah Xing!" Old Master Zhao's face was full of love. He steadily caught Xie Wanxing who was running towards him, touched her head, and turned around to see Xie Songlin who was also running towards him.
Xie Songlin was extremely excited at the moment: "Grandpa, it's been a long time since I last saw you! I never thought I'd see you here. I've been looking forward to it so much!"
"Songlin, why are you here in this garrison village?" Old Master Zhao raised his chin slightly and snorted coldly at him, "You've been hiding a lot of things from me."
"Old man, you are being wronged. How can you say that?"
"Jin Chen, why did they assign you here? Everyone here is a retired member of the Cheng Ling Army. This garrison village isn't a place you can just enter. How could you have been assigned here without a reason?" Old Master Zhao paused. "Have you met that kid Chen Zhifei?"
