My ancient leisure life

A good night's sleep without dreams, promised to wake up and stretch comfortably, and finally get over the embarrassment when I first came here, and I can calm down and think about what will happen in the future.

When he got out of the main room, he saw Cheng Ge was chopping firewood, so he just said, he heard some noise outside, or he would have to sleep a little longer.

He looked up at the sky, the rising sun hanging in the sky had already shed warm light, it was about seven o'clock in the morning.

"Hey! I got up late." He greeted Cheng Ge, hurriedly fetched water to wash up, and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

It is reasonable to cook at this time, and the village usually eats two meals, but Xu Nuo feels that he is still used to three meals, and now it is not because he cannot afford it, so there is no need to wrong himself.

Besides, Cheng Ge came back from chopping firewood early every morning, how could he not be allowed to eat more.Faced with Cheng Ge's industriousness and ability, Xu Nuo is full of joy.

If you point at him thumping on his own, he may not be able to eat enough. Thinking of this, his hands are faster, and he made up his mind that he must get up early tomorrow and let Cheng Ge come in to eat.

But when he saw another pheasant and two rabbits in the kitchen, he couldn't help but frown and feel a little annoyed.Now it is no longer necessary to venture into the mountains to hunt, and I have to tell Cheng Ge not to work so hard.

He is not lazy because of a little wealth, nor is he frightened by wild boars.He is because he has witnessed the danger in the deep mountains and old forests. No matter how powerful Cheng Ge is, he is still afraid of accidents.

"Cheng Ge." After dinner, Xu Nuo followed him into the east room, and he was going to talk to Cheng Ge about future affairs at home.

Seeing him come in and sit down, Cheng Ge looked as if he was going to have a long talk, his eyes slightly puzzled.But he didn't refuse, he wanted to hear what the little guy had to say.

"Hmm." Xu Nuo tilted his head slightly, thinking about how to say that Cheng Ge could understand what he meant.

"Even if our family can't eat food for a year, it will definitely be fine in the autumn harvest. We still have more than ten taels of silver in our hands, so we don't have any difficulties in life for the time being." Xu Nuo looked Cheng Ge directly in the eyes, "So, I mean, there is no need Go hunting in the deep mountains, it's too dangerous to be careless."

"Of course, if you can hunt some pheasants and hares when chopping firewood, I have no objection, even if we don't sell them for money, we can eat them ourselves."

Perhaps Xu Nuo was afraid that he would not be convincing enough, so he took out the money that he was holding at night when he slept, touched it reluctantly, and pushed it in front of Cheng Ge.

"If you need money, we will find a way to make money in the future. There is no need to specifically refer to hunting."

The promise is that he really doesn't want him to take risks, "We'll go to the town to have a look after planting the land, try to find something to do, and then we can make money. Don't worry too much, safety is the most important thing at any time."

"Yeah." Cheng Ge's eyes were filled with inexplicable emotions, he looked at Xu Nuo with sincere and caring eyes, and agreed: "You are in charge, I will listen to you."

"Hey." Xu Nuo's mood was high and a smile spread for a while, and he said happily: "Don't worry, we will fight for the future together. Even if we can't get rich and rich, we must achieve a well-off life."

Promised to look forward to the future, "I am smart and brainy, and you are capable and powerful. If we cooperate, we will be invincible in the world."

Facing all kinds of promises and bragging, Cheng Ge was not impatient at all, but felt very warm. This place is like the home that his colleagues said, the warmth that family members should have.

"By the way, we will be planting the land in a few days." Xu Nuo talked about this confidently, "I don't know how to plant, and I will depend on you at that time."

Although Xu Nuo has seen farming, he still knows a little about it.The original owner's land is rented out, and he has never planted it. In addition, he is young and not strong, so no helpers in the village will look for him.

"No." Cheng Ge spat out two words.He really doesn't know it. Although the owner of this body understands it better, his memory has been blurred for a long time.

"Ah?" Xu Nuo was dumbfounded, blinking his big eyes before realizing that Cheng Ge had been in the army for many years, so it was only natural that he wasn't familiar with it.

"It's okay, let's find out about it." Promise: "You can also learn from others. It's not worthwhile to rent out the land. It's better to grow more food yourself."

He is not at all discouraged that Cheng Ge can't farm.With that kind of strength, if you learn more from others, it won't be too bad.

He arrived as soon as he said Erdan, but he couldn't find anyone outside, so he shouted, "Xuanuo, where are you?"

"Here we come, here we come." Xu Nuo greeted him, "I'm discussing farming with Cheng Ge. It's a pity that we don't know how to do it, and I want to ask you to teach us."

"Hey, it's that kind of planting, it's very easy." Erdan rubbed his head, he naturally knew their situation, so he said with a smile: "I'll tell you what to do when the time comes, just follow our family's planting."

"I want to take a look at the land. Tell me about how to plant it." Xu Nuo said and called Cheng Ge: "I'll go out and have a look at the land. You rest at home, and I'll be back in a while."

He didn't want to let Cheng Ge go with him, he was too tired from chopping firewood and hunting early in the morning.He felt sorry for Cheng Ge who always worked in silence.

His home was not far away, and the paddy field was by the small river to the east. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he saw some people already driving their oxen to plow the field.

"Huh?" Xu Nuo asked puzzledly, "Damn, isn't it going to take a few days to plow the land? Why is someone starting now?"

"They have cattle, can we compare?" Er Dan said, "We dig with one shovel at a time, even if the ground is harder. The cattle are strong, so it doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or later."

It turned out that people with cattle plowed land for others. In order to earn more money, they started work a few days earlier, so that they could work for more families.

"Well, it's fine to work a few days earlier." Xu Nuo nodded arrogantly.If there is no cow, there is Cheng Ge!This matter is easy to solve.

In modern times, farming is mechanized, but he has also heard those old people say that manpower pulls the plow to plow the field, and Cheng Ge is also honorably competent for this task.

He took Erdan to look at two more dry fields, one acre bought by his father, and the other divided by the family.

The places are not far apart, just a few quarters of an hour away from the south of the village.After turning around and knowing what he knew, he asked Erdan: "Who has a plow, let's borrow one."

"It seems that the village chief's house has a spare plow." Erdan thought about it and remembered such a thing.The plows are bought by people who have cattle. In the village, only the village head and two others have cattle.

Of the more than 200 households, only three have cattle, which shows that this village is not just poor.Xu Nuo shook his head, thinking of going to the village chief's house to try his luck, after all, he gave wild boar meat yesterday, so maybe he could save face.

If it doesn't work, promise Ren Ke to buy a plow, and he won't dig with a shovel, he really can't do it.Of course, it's okay to arrange the matter to Cheng Ge. It must be no problem for him to be so capable, but he promises that he can't do it.

"Grandpa of the village chief." Xu Nuo went to the village chief's house and greeted him warmly.

"Boy Nuo." The village head saw him and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"I want to ask if the village chief's grandfather has a plow for me to borrow."

"What are you using the plow for?" The village chief looked at him suspiciously, "You don't have a cow, and it's useless to have a plow!"

"Come on, Nuo boy, drink a bowl of sugar water." The village chief's grandmother made a bowl of sugar water for him and Er Dan with a smile. "There is a plow at home, even if the ox has been borrowed, it can't help you with a plow."

"It's fine if you have a plow. My family doesn't need cattle, but Cheng Ge."

"Yes." The village head nodded, deeply convinced by his words, "Cheng Ge can be a cow envoy, even a cow may not be able to match his strength."

"Pfft." The village chief's grandmother laughed.He stretched out his hand and beat the village head, "Old man, what are you talking about, how can you compare a person to a cow?"

"It's all right." Xu Nuo and Rong said happily, "My Cheng Ge is more industrious and capable than the old scalper!"

"Hahahaha." The village chief and the others laughed, "Good job, good job! The days will be better in the future."

Xu Nuo smiled and wanted to go home with the plow, but the village chief stopped him as if remembering something, "Boy Nuo, your grandpa and the others have separated again. Have you heard about this?"

"No." Xu Nuo asked in a moment of confusion: "What else is there to share, isn't it already finished?"

"It's the separation from your uncle and the others." The village head motioned him to sit down, ready to tell him about it. "Your grandfather heard that Mrs. Chen went to your house to make trouble, so he separated from them angrily. All four sons and two daughters were present, and our village has witnessed it."

"Hey, they say raising children to guard against old age." The village chief sighed, "I used to catch your father and talk non-stop, but now I'm looking for you again. Your grandfather has had enough."

"Your grandfather put down his words and said that if everyone gave an acre of land like you did, he wouldn't need other sons to take care of them. If they can't do it, follow the village's support rules. They are now living alone."

"Mr. Chen usually looks pretty good, how can she do this." The village head's wife said dissatisfied: "No matter what, Nuo is still a child, and it's not like their family can't make it through. They have to make it so faceable. ?"

"Hey." Xu Nuo didn't feel much after hearing it, but thought that the grandfather was okay, and he didn't want to oppress him frantically, which also saved him trouble.

"Grandma, the village head, she is taking advantage of too much." Xu Nuo said: "Grandpa and the others are in good health and able to work, and the fields and the other two sons are filial. When she grows up, her appetite will grow more and more greedy."

"I don't blame anyone. I was born in such a family. If they don't treat me as a relative, then it's good that we don't know each other." Xu Nuo said with a serious face: "I will try my best to meet the requirements that can be reasonable, such as support One matter. But Chen's greed wants to force me to bow my head, which is absolutely impossible."

He expressed his attitude to the village chief, don't tell him anything that is unreasonable.But he didn't expect to choke the village chief's plan, so that he opened his mouth a few times but didn't say anything.

The village chief was kind enough to promise that there would be no elders to help him. Now that his grandfather and grandmother live alone, he wanted him to take this opportunity to go up and fix it, and someone would take care of it in the future.

But seeing that Xu Nuo didn't have the slightest intention of getting along, and even had a firm attitude of wanting to stay away, he didn't care much about it.

It was the village head's wife who saw the old man's embarrassment, and came out to smooth things over and said, "That's right, Xu everyone can live so well, it's not because of the help of the two old men. Although it is divided now, Mrs. Chen has always disagreed, and it is hard to say when they will be together again." Together."

"That's right, it's better not to come near me because no one is looking at me." Xu Nuo said goodbye with a smile. He didn't care about other people's affairs, so he better go home and farm.
