The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

The school will be closed from the Laba Festival until the next year after the Lantern Festival. Lin Chengzong will stay at home for more than a month from the Laba Festival, and Lin Xiazhi will take Lin Chengzong to play in the snow in the front yard.

In previous years, Xia Ge'er's health was not good, and he could only lie on the bed when it snowed, so in the eyes of his family, this was Xia Ge'er's first time playing in the snow.

Lin Xiazhi made a snowman in the yard, had a snowball fight, and had a great time with Lin Chengzong.

The entire Linjia Village was covered with snow today, and every family started to climb up the roof to clear the snow. Some families with weak roofs were even more active. They were afraid that if the snow fell too thickly, the roof would collapse and the family would have nowhere to go. sleep.

The Lin family is no exception. Although the house is newly built and very solid, we can't relax our vigilance because of this.

The Lin family had many houses, and Lin Chengzu and Lin Huzi climbed up to the roof to clear the snow early in the morning. After Lin Xiazhi had had enough fun, he also helped the family to clear the snow in the front and back yards.

Laba porridge is eaten on the day of Laba, and all kinds of beans added to it are soaked one night in advance. Li Xiu gets up and cooks Laba porridge.

The Laba porridge of the Lin family is quite special. In addition to various beans, it also puts bacon cut into small pieces.

After a month of air-drying, the bacon is fully mature. It is cut into small pieces and boiled. It completely blends with the taste of Laba porridge. The family likes it very much, and the whole pot is eaten up.

In Jingguo's Laba Festival, besides eating Laba porridge, Li Xiu has to prepare stove sugar to sacrifice to the stove prince. Li Xiu has been busy in the kitchen since Lin Xiazhi got sick. Li Xiu has taken over the cooking at home again , Lin Xiazhi was not allowed to enter the kitchen.

After breakfast, Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzong were in the lobby together. Lin Chengzong endorsed the book, and Lin Xiazhi took a blank straw paper to write and draw. He used his homemade charcoal pencil, burned a small wooden stick into charcoal and wrapped it in a white cloth strip. Can be used as a simple pencil.

The family usually writes with charcoal pens. Brushes and ink are too expensive. They can continue to use charcoal pens after they have written on the slate. , No need to practice calligraphy every day.

After Lin Chengzong finished reciting the textbook left by his master, Lin Xiazhi began to test his arithmetic.

Jing Guo's arithmetic is to describe the law with obscure sentences, without summarizing any formulas. It is very difficult for children of Lin Chengzong's age to learn. It is already very troublesome to understand those sentences, and to extract effective information from them.

Considering this situation, Lin Xiazhi first helped Lin Chengzong sum up some arithmetic laws, handed these laws over to Lin Chengzong to study and study more, and then summed up other formulas by himself.

Lin Chengzong is not stupid, and with the good method provided by Lin Xiazhi, he has already learned all the arithmetic courses of Class C and Class D thoroughly.

I believe Master Wei will be surprised by Lin Chencheng's performance after the New Year's Eve.

After finishing talking, when the two brothers wanted to go to the backyard to help with things, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Lin Xiazhi asked behind the door.

"Brother Xia, it's me, your Uncle Si Yong." It turned out that the person outside the house was Zhou Zhou Yong.

Hearing that it was someone from the village, Lin Xiazhi went out and opened the door.

"Uncle Si Yong, did Liu Gen come with you?" Hearing that it was Zhou Yong, Lin Chengzong was excited.

Lin Chengzong and Zhou Zhougen, a child of Zhou Yong's family, were classmates. The two had dealt with Lin Dabao who bullied them together before, and established a deep revolutionary friendship.

"Chengzong, I'm here." Saturday Gen poked his head out from behind Thursday Yong, with a bright smile on his black face, "Do you want to go out and play together?"

Lin Chengzong's eyes lit up at Saturday Gen's proposal, and he turned his head to look at Lin Xiazhi.

Lin Xiazhi looked at Lin Chengzong's anticipation with amused expression. Children of this age are eager to play, and they go out to play if they want to: "Go, go, remember to come back for lunch later."

"Second brother, I know."

On the first day of snowfall, there are many interesting things on the mountain. For example, some animals are stupid and will freeze to death at night if they don’t know how to hide. Children can pick up some small animals that freeze to death when they go up the mountain. This kind of treasure hunting is not a few times a year.

Even if there is no such fun, a group of half-grown children can play blindly in the snow all day by themselves.

As soon as Lin Xiazhi agreed, Lin Chengzong wanted to go out, so Saturday Gen hurriedly pulled him back: "Don't worry, Dad and I are here to deliver a puppy to your family."

"Puppy!" Lin Chengzong's voice suddenly rose.

The Zhou family is one of the few families in the village who can hunt, and their hunting dogs look very fierce. Some time ago, Lin Chengzong heard that his dog was about to give birth to Saturday Gen, and he once said in his ear that he wanted to have a dog at home, but he did not expect them The family really sent a puppy.

The little dog was only the size of a palm, and just opened its eyes, its whole body was snow-white, except for a few black and red hairs on its forehead, it was lying in Si Yong's palm and shivering, looking pitiful and innocent.

Lin Xiazhi knew about the Zhou family's dog giving birth, but he was not very familiar with the Zhou family, so it was not easy to rush to the door.

"Uncle Si Yong, you come in and sit down, Zong Er, please greet Uncle Si Yong and Liu Gen first." After Lin Xiazhi finished speaking, he turned and went back to the room.

In the farmhouse, no matter whether it is a cat's cub or a dog's cub, it cannot be given away for free, and the recipient needs to give a few pennies.

Lin Xiazhi counted twenty copper coins from his money pot, took a piece of cloth and wrapped it on it: "Uncle Si Yong, use the money to buy two pieces of meat and bones for the bitch to eat."

After entering the room to warm up, Lin Chengzong and Saturday Gen put the little milk dog on the stool and covered him with a rag, the two of them and the dog were having fun.

Although the little milk dog has opened his eyes, he still can't see things clearly after all, so he can only sniff here and there, trying to adapt to the new environment.

Zhou Zhouyong also knew the rule that puppies cannot be given away for free, but after he took the cloth bag and weighed it in his hand, he knew that Lin Xiazhi gave too much.

In today's world, the big guys have no money left, and the owner has no extra food to feed the dog after the bitch gives birth to the puppies. If the dog is not wanted, it is likely to be thrown out by the owner to starve to death. A pup is the most Just give me five cents.

"Brother Xia, you gave too much." Zhou Si Yong returned the cloth bag.

Lin Xiazhi didn't accept it: "Uncle Si Yong, your puppy is a cub of a hunting dog. It looks very strong at first glance, and it's worth the price."

In fact, Lin Xiazhi gave [-] Wen not only because he thought the Zhou family's dog was good, but also because he wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with the Zhou family. Always come in handy.

Zhou Zhouyong is not a fool either, and Lin Xiazhi didn't refuse any more when he talked about it.

After the puppies were delivered, Zhou Zhouyong also left. Lin Chengzong and Saturday Gen watched the puppies at Lin's house for a while, but they still couldn't hold back and ran out to play.

Such a small dog can't be kept outside in winter, it has to be kept at home, and a kennel has to be sewn for the puppy at home. There is no need for Li Xiu to do this kind of trivial matter, Lin Xiazhi can sew it up by himself.

The kennel is actually simple, just use some old clothes and old cotton to sew together, don't let the dog get too cold.Even with needlework as poor as Lin Xiazhi's, he quickly sewed up the kennel. Fortunately, the puppy will not dislike Lin Xiazhi's crooked stitches.

Holding the puppy in, feeling the soft cushion, the puppy arched its nose, obviously very satisfied.

In addition to sewing the kennel, we also need to cook some rice paste for the puppy. Lin Xiazhi can only ask Li Xiu to help with cooking the rice paste. He can't get into the kitchen. Fortunately, it's not troublesome. The kitchen stove is not working all day today. It will turn off the fire, and it doesn't take much trouble to cook some rice cereal.

Lin Xiazhi thought that the puppy had just been weaned, so he asked Li Xiu to cut a little bit of bacon into it, so that the cooked rice paste had a meaty flavor, and the puppy would definitely like it more.

At this time, the rice porridge that Li Xiu cooked for the puppy was also ready. The dog should not eat too much salt, and there was nothing else in the rice porridge except bacon.

Li Xiu has never raised a dog, so he also likes the little milk dog at home. When he was making porridge for the puppy, he suddenly thought that his family almost couldn't even eat enough to eat a few months ago, but now he is so rich. Meat is added to dog meals.

When Li Xiu brought out the rice porridge, he watched the little milk dog snorting and ate up a small bowl of rice porridge, and couldn't help but lament the great changes at home.

"Ah, our family's life will get better and better." Lin Xiazhi said with a smile as he stroked the warm body of the little milk dog, "Our family's dog should be called Erlangshen."

There is no legend of Erlang God in Jingguo, so Lin Xiazhi named this puppy with black and red hair Erlang God in memory of his former self.

With a dog at home, Lin Chengzong was also on vacation at home, and the popularity of the Lin family rose immediately.Lin Chengzong played with the little milk dog every morning, and the laughter of the children and the whining of the little milk dog spread from the front yard to the back yard.

Three days after the Laba Festival, the tofu that the Lin family had ordered was finally ready.

After everything was ready, Lin Xiazhi and Lin Chengzu went to the trading market in the county town to buy donkeys and servants.

At first, when Lin Huzi and Li Xiu heard that Lin Xiazhi wanted to buy someone, they were both terrified. Their family is an honest farmer, so why did they suddenly want to buy someone back?

"Father, our family cooperates with Jufulou to sell tofu, and now we have stone mills and iron pots at home, how can you do it alone?"

"Didn't you say that you need to buy two donkeys? With the help of donkeys, there will be no problem." Lin Huzi frowned. With donkeys pulling the stone mill, he didn't bother to add beans and water to the stone mill.

"Then there is firewood. There are a lot of tofu to be made in three iron pots. You still have to manage the vegetable shed. My eldest brother has to deliver goods to Jufulou every day. When he comes back, he has to take care of kimchi and sauerkraut and make vermicelli. , as it is now, how can you still have time to make so much tofu when you are so busy every day?" Lin Xiazhi asked rhetorically.

"Time will come out as soon as it is squeezed, don't worry." Lin Huzi said indifferently.
