Chapter 84: Digging Potatoes



The two of them played and fought and returned to their village.

"Are you still going to look for the master?" asked Gouwazi.

Er Guotou said, "Let's go after dinner. Don't let the old man have too much free time."

The two returned to Erguotou's house, lit a fire and cooked some rice soup.

Gou Wa Zi was still there sighing, "Sister Xiao Ye is so pretty and virtuous, I really don't understand why you don't like her."

Erguotou stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove and said, "It's not that I don't like it, I just don't want my uncle to get involved."

"Isn't your uncle very good to you?" Gouwazi asked while stirring the porridge.

Erguotou watched the flames in the stove burn more and more vigorously.

His uncle was indeed good to him. Since his mother died, his mother's relatives had almost no contact with him anymore. Only his uncle came to see him every month and helped their family from time to time.

Whenever something happens in their family, my uncle is always the first one to rush over.

But people grow up and have their own ideas, and slowly this kind of discipline turns into control.

When he was ten years old, he was decided to learn carpentry without hesitation. Later, he did not learn carpentry, so when he was twelve years old, he was taken to work in the house of Manager Jin. After working for a few years without success, he was determined to marry Wang Xiaoye to him when he was fourteen years old.

All decisions were made for his own good, but he had no right to resist this favor.

Irresistible kindness is like a shackle that strangles a person's neck and makes it difficult for him to breathe.

The two of them drank a bowl of rice soup with pickles and went to school again in the afternoon.

When Duan Yidao saw the two, he asked, "Did something happen at home?"

Erguotou shook his head, but Gouwazi said, "Master, I have a crush on a girl, but my second brother said I am not worthy of her. What should I do?"

Erguotou, "..." You kid haven't given up yet.

Duan Yidao said, "Don't worry, Master has plenty of experience in this matter."

After saying that, he put his arm around the two boys' shoulders and offered advice, "As long as it's not too far off, it won't be a big problem. If you show more, you can warm up even a block of iron."

"Performance?" Gou Wa Zi scratched his head and laughed, "Master, can you be more specific?"

Duan Yidao: “…” It doesn’t matter whether this brain is expressed or not.

As the snow melted, the ground also thawed.

After a trip to the clinic, the doctor released Song Yuehua from her confinement and told her not to do too much physical work.

Finally, I don’t have to stay at home all day, and it’s time to harvest the potatoes in the field.

Song Yuehua suddenly had an idea and went out to dig potatoes with a basket on her back.

Liu Xue quickly stopped him, "Just walk around. If you really dare to dig potatoes, be prepared to lie down for a few more months!"

Song Yuehua was a little scared, and she was thinking about the potatoes again, so she discussed with Liu Xue, "How about I watch you dig?"

Liu Xue, "..."

Finally, Liu Xue discussed with Duan Yidao and decided to bring Erguotou and Gouwazi, and the four people in front each carried two baskets.

Song Yuehua walked at the back with empty hands, and the five of them went to Dongshan to dig potatoes together.

This was the second time Song Yuehua came here after planting potatoes.

He comes once when planting and once when harvesting. If it weren't for Zhou Dafu and Ma Ye helping to watch over the crops, who knows what would have happened.

"It looks good!" Erguotou dug a bunch.

Song Yuehua took it and smelled it, it had the scent of fresh potatoes.

I counted and found that there are 8 seedlings on each plant. So how many potatoes will there be in this 30 acres of land?

Song Yuehua asked them to continue digging while she went to look for people.

The Zong family was still clearing the land, but when they saw Song Yuehua, they immediately stopped what they were doing and called out "Boss".

Song Yuehua asked the three of them to dig potatoes first.

Compared with the 10 acres of vegetable fields, the potatoes had to be dug out as soon as possible. After the Zong family left, Song Yuehua looked at the wasteland in front of her and started to think again.

After this potato field, she plans to plant corn, starting in April and having the field ready by March.

30 acres of land can be plowed with the work hours of the school.

Now I still have 455 taels of silver on hand.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the place where houses were being built. The pig farm was built similarly to the chicken farm, but there were no tiles on the roof.

There is a rectangular courtyard inside the gate, with a door on each side, one leading to the pig farm and the other leading to the chicken farm.

There is a kitchen on each side of the door.

Only the foundation of the outer wall has been laid, leaving a lot of space, which makes it very convenient to add on later if you want to.

The walls of the house are still being constructed, and judging from the foundation there is space left for additional construction around it.

Zhou Dafu saw her coming and asked, "Why are you here alone?"

"I brought people to dig potatoes. They are digging there. I came over to take a look when I have nothing to do." Song Yuehua said.

Zhou Dafu took her inside to have a look. When they came in from the gate, they saw the main courtyard. There were six warehouses directly opposite, six rooms with kangs on the left, a kitchen and dining room on the right, and five firewood and utility rooms in total. To the front on the left were the toilet and bathroom.

After seeing the sights here, the two went to the pig farm and the chicken farm for a tour.

After coming out, Song Yuehua went around to the west side of the wall and said to Zhou Dafu, "The three mu of land to the west of the vegetable field will not be used to grow vegetables. It will be leveled and used as a playground. To the south of the playground, two empty houses and a toilet will be built. In the future, this place can be used not only for martial arts practice, but also for drying grain."

"Build just two rooms?" Zhou Dafu asked.

"That's right." Song Yuehua thought of something and asked, "Is there a wellhead at the pig farm?"

Zhou Dafu smiled and said, "I have already kept it. When I heard it was from you, I was very happy."

The breeding farm is large and there are many places where water is needed. Not only the livestock but also the people in the compound need it. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to always run to the fields in Dongshan to fetch water.

Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Okay, you can calculate how much silver you need first and come to my house to pick it up in the evening."
