The Little Landlord of Transmigration

The reason why Xu Lingyuan insisted on coming back was that besides he didn't want to deal with Xu's mother for the time being, it was also because the autumn harvest was about to begin, and the wheat shackles he had prepared for so long would naturally come in handy, and he was still a little concerned about what happened when he left. Expensive in that sentence.

So the next morning when he came back, he went to the village to look for A Qi, but in the end he was in vain.After being guided by some old people who stayed at home in the village, he finally found Aqi in a peanut field.

At this time, people are busy harvesting peanuts and corn. After these harvests are over, the highlight of the autumn harvest will begin, that is, rice harvesting.

As soon as he walked over, someone who saw him greeted him.A Qi, who was digging peanuts with a shovel, suddenly raised his head when he heard that it was really him. Before Xu Lingyuan could see his expression clearly, he lowered his head again, as if he didn't see anything. , Then concentrate on digging up the peanuts.

Although he didn't say anything, just this unexpected movement was enough to reflect his abnormality.So, Xu Lingyuan took the initiative to lean over.

In the field, Aqi and his father were digging in front. First, they used a shovel to dig out the muddy roots of the peanuts, then grabbed the stems and leaves above them and shook them gently to shake off the dirt, and then put the whole peanuts on the ground. There, continue digging forward.And Ah Qi's younger siblings were playing in the back, casually picking up the fallen peanuts.

Although standing very close, neither of them spoke, A Qi still only cared about the work in hand, after Xu Lingyuan looked at it for a while, he squatted down, grabbed a freshly dug peanut seedling, and shook it skillfully. When the mud fell, A Qi looked at him in surprise. Seeing that Xu Lingyuan smiled at him indifferently, he let him do it. After a while, the two of them cooperated quite tacitly.

With Xu Lingyuan's help, A Qi moved much faster, and soon caught up with A Qi's father who was originally in front of them.It was at this moment that Ah Qi's father found out that the young master of the landlord's family was actually helping their family with work. For a while, he just froze and smiled at him reluctantly, as if he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Lingyuan smiled too, and then continued to work with great concentration.

"His sixth uncle, you still have a lot of face, and you can hire such a valuable helper. Let us learn from any delicious food prepared at home." When we returned home at noon, we met other people in the field, Seeing that Xu Lingyuan was sweating profusely and his hands were dirt, he joked with A Qi's father.

"How can I help? It would be a waste of time if I don't help. I'm afraid that you will dislike me when I go to your place." Seeing that Aqi's father just smiled awkwardly, Xu Lingyuan said.

"An educated person speaks nicely. How can we dislike you? If you are a gentle and handsome person like you, even if you stand on the ground and just eat, we feel happy watching it." The person who hit up a conversation replied with a smile.

"Are you happy too?" Xu Lingyuan just smiled politely at the other party, and then whispered to A Qi next to him.

"Didn't you go back?" A Qi finally looked at him with a smile, and gently wiped off the mud spots on his face while asking.

"Isn't this caring about you? So I came back quickly." Xu Lingyuan, who was thinking about how to ask the reason, replied flatteringly.

"Don't come here in the future, I'll go find you when I'm done." A Qi hesitated for a moment, and then said to him in a discussing tone.

"Ah Gui said that you don't have time to talk to me anymore, what happened?" Xu Lingyuan ignored his words and asked instead.

"It's nothing, it's just that there's more work to do." A Qi said with a little dodge in his eyes.

"Then I can come to help too. You have helped me so much, and it's time for me to repay you." Xu Lingyuan said deliberately.

"No need, I did it myself." A Qi said a little helplessly.

"A Qi, tell the truth." Xu Lingyuan suddenly looked at him seriously and said, he didn't like that A Qi hid it from him like this, and it was so hard to find a reason, why didn't he tell the truth?Could it be that he is the only one who thinks that the relationship between them is good enough to talk about everything?

"Mum has a child again, so I can't work too hard, so I have to do more work." A Qi finally said frankly, "Because I'm often away, she had a fight with Dad, I don't want to make her angry." Said After finishing, A Qi took a deep breath, and seemed to feel a lot easier all of a sudden.

"Oh, it's normal. Pregnant people may have a bigger temper." Although he felt a little strange, Xu Lingyuan still comforted him.

"How do you know?" A Qi looked at him in surprise, wondering why he knew this at such a young age.

"That's what it says in the book." Xu Lingyuan said without shame. Since he crossed over, the book has almost been crushed by the scapegoat.

A Qi didn't say anything else, he just looked at him with inquisitive eyes, wondering what weird things he had seen, did scholars also take these tests?

As for his look, Xu Lingyuan could only pretend not to know and change the topic away.

"Master Xu came to look for A Qi again? Since the autumn harvest begins, people don't have so much free time, and A Qi can't stay away from home all the time. If you want me to say, Master Xu should take advantage of this time to have a good rest." Yes, otherwise, when the school starts, you will be exhausted and you will not be able to recover." As soon as he walked to the door of A Qi's house, A Qi's mother pulled a face and said to him.It was such a coincidence that at this time, she brought a bowl of water to A Qi's father who came back first, and saw the two of them as soon as he came out.

"Don't worry, it's better to walk around than to stay still." Knowing that she was pregnant and had a bad temper, Xu Lingyuan said as politely as possible, and was ready to leave after speaking.

"It's good if you can think so. I'm afraid that A Qi won't be able to accompany you in the future, and it will make you angry." Before he could turn around, A Qi's mother said again.

"How could it be? A Qi has helped me so much. He has something to do now. I should have come to help. How could he be angry?" Xu Lingyuan didn't know why she kept emphasizing that A Qi had no time to talk to him, could it be Did A Qi really suffer so much when he was with him?

"Okay, hurry up and serve dinner." A Qi's father suddenly came out of the house and said to her, and then said to A Qi: "Hurry up and get some water for Young Master Xu."

"Don't bother me, I should go back too." After stopping A Qi, he left full of doubts.

Finally the rice harvesting started.The previous process is the same as harvesting wheat, but the final threshing link is very different.Wheat is milled with stones, and rice is threshed with dendrobium.

The so-called Hehu is a large bucket that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a leak at the bottom. During threshing, four young and strong laborers stand on each side and beat the rice into the Hehu until all the grains are threshed. It was really hard work until I got down.

At this time, the wheat shackle brought by Xu Lingyuan showed its advantages. Although the efficiency is not very high, it is suitable for a wide range of people. As long as it can be lifted, it can be used to slap rice. It is much more flexible than Hehu.Therefore, it was quickly recognized by people, and they asked him to go to the city to order it, and it spread quickly.The patriarch, who was unwilling to try it before, felt a little proud because he was the first to have it.

"Master Xu, you are so kind, let it spread like this." The patriarch touched the shackle in his hand and sighed to him.

"It was made for human use, so what does it have to do with Xinkuan?" Xu Lingyuan asked in a moment of confusion.

"Haha, you don't know, if you change to a smarter person, you will definitely make a fortune with it." The patriarch explained for him.

"Are you saying to charge some money from those who use it?" Xu Lingyuan tried to ask.

He wasn't quite sure that was what the Patriarch meant.After all, he has been here for so long, but he has never heard of any patent rights here.He doesn't know much about the rest, but as far as he knows, there is no such thing as copyright in the publishing and printing industry here. Except for some private printings that are explicitly prohibited by the imperial court, booksellers and publishers can do whatever they want. , not only does not require the permission of the original author, but even has a very high attitude, as if something that prints you is worthy of you.

In the absence of this kind of communication platform and media, literati even completely regard it as a way of propaganda, not only have no concept of rights protection, but also like to hear it.In fact, even if they are aware of copyright, in this era of blocked information and inconvenient transportation, without the strong support of the state, it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to defend their rights.

Therefore, although he really didn't have the idea of ​​making wheat flails, he really used his brains on the method of making preserved fruits, but he was not optimistic about it in the end.Instead of spending so much energy defending rights, it is better to save some time and develop more new varieties.

"It's okay, you can take the opportunity to sell it before it is spread." The patriarch explained in detail.

"Forget it, isn't that very troublesome?" Xu Lingyuan shook his head after listening to the explanation.

"So are you open-minded? If you have money to make, who would bother you?" the patriarch said disapprovingly.

Xu Lingyuan didn't argue with him much, it wasn't because he was lenient, but because he wasn't interested. If he came across something he cared about, he would naturally be fussy about it.After the patriarch continued to work, he also went to A Qi's side again, helping out as much as he could.

Although he noticed that A Qi's mother didn't like their association very much, Xu Lingyuan found that although he was getting smaller, his face was getting thicker and thicker. Seeing A Qi's joy every time he saw him, he still felt very happy. Come to him as if nothing had happened.Since A Qi is not allowed to accompany him, then it should be fine for him to come and accompany A Qi, right?

In fact, he didn't understand what A Qiniang was thinking.If she felt that A Qi was at a disadvantage in getting along with her, she was very active in sending A Jiang to the school; said that he was not good to A Qi, since he has been here for so long, he often heard her reprimanding the three of them. Little ghost, but I've never seen him treat A Qi like this, and A Gui and the others didn't say anything, anyway, it's a bit strange.
