Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 65 Shit, Your Brain Is Not Broken (4)
Lin Zhaoyuan took a look at Mu Hua who was still awkward, and said with a smile: "Mu Hua is pure and straight, this is very good, Grandma Zhang is at ease!"

Mu Hua couldn't see his hypocritical appearance, and was about to refute, but he didn't want to make grandma angry, so he secretly gave him a look, seeing that he didn't care at all, walked up to him depressedly, and stood silently.

Looking at the interaction between them, Zhang Xiaocao was quite sure that when he sent Shopkeeper Le away, something unpleasant must have happened to the two of them.

But, "Where are you going?"

Seeing them going out, Zhang Xiaocao quickly asked, the two of them must have made an appointment to fight, and if they really fought, how could Mu Hua be his opponent? Isn't this bullying the small with the big?
Maybe she was too worried, Lin Zhaoyuan jokingly said: "Sister Xiaocao, don't worry, brother Zixi can't do it with bullying the small!"

Sister Xiaocao?Brother Zixi?
Shit, your brain is not broken, is it?

Zhang Xiaocao was so stimulated that she almost burst into foul language!

Lin Zhaoyuan saw that someone was on the verge of breaking out, so he didn't continue to stimulate him any longer. He waved his sleeves, turned around and left the yard gracefully, not taking away a single cloud, um, taking away Mu Hua, an awkward little brat!

After they left, Grandma Zhang took the quilt out to dry, and sighed to Zhang Xiaocao: "Brother Yuan is a good man, but every scholar has arrogance, he has become a scholar, and he is gentle when meeting fellow villagers, unlike some people With your nostrils facing the sky, even if you can't go any further in the future, it won't be too bad!"

Zhang Xiaocao curled her lips indifferently, this guy is really pretending, that's hypocrisy!However, this obviously cannot be said in front of grandma.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Grandma Zhang thought she agreed, and continued: "Grandma doesn't expect anything else, she just hopes that you will find a good husband's family in the future, and Mu Hua can learn some skills to be with her. Grandma, I will be satisfied!"

Grandma's words immediately reminded Zhang Xiaocao that she really hoped that Mu Hua could also go to school to study!
After these few days of observation, Mu Hua's brain is very flexible. He used to secretly go to the school to listen to his father and son's lectures. No one dares to bully them!
Of course, if she has good talent and can go further, she will naturally fully support it. If she loses interest in studying in the end, she will not force it!

When they come back later, she will ask Lin Zhaoyuan again. She thinks that she should ask someone with experience to find a teacher in a school!

At noon, Zhang Xiaocao cooked the meals. Seeing that grandma and Mu Hua, who had gone out on business, didn't come back, she put the dishes in the rice cooker to heat up, and waited for them to come back to eat together.

There is nothing left and right, tomorrow is thirty, and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the land reclamation will start, so Zhang Xiaocao took out the money box and carefully counted the remaining silver coins. The 70 taels of recipes sold yesterday, there are still more than 120 taels in total.

She estimated the money needed for cotton planting tools and manual land reclamation, because there are not many people growing cotton, and cotton seeds are not expensive, only 24 renminbi per catty, and there are about [-] cotton seeds per catty, but the cotton seeds have sprouted The rate is extremely low, and under the cultivation of modern advanced technology, it can only reach seven out of ten. For ordinary farmers, it is not bad to have four or five out of ten. Here, it is estimated to be even lower!

One mu of land needs about two to three thousand cotton plants. In this way, one mu of land needs about three catties of cotton seeds. The 180 mu of land needs a total of [-] catties of cotton seeds, which only costs four or five taels of silver!

Farm tools are not expensive, and you can get it done with a few taels of silver!

The most expensive thing is to ask for labor!During the busy season, a laborer is thirty yuan a day, and during the slack season, it costs twenty yuan a day. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is considered a slack season, she expects to hire 30 people, which can produce about three acres of land every day. Thirty acres of wasteland requires about ten yuan. sky!This is the first phase, and there will be many tedious tasks such as composting, arable land, seedling raising, weeding, and pest control later on, all of which need to be hired!
If there is no other income, the remaining 100 taels will be used up soon!

Looking at the densely packed numbers on the ground, Zhang Xiaocao smiled wryly. She thought it was too simple. If it wasn’t for the 120 taels sold for recipes yesterday, she probably wouldn’t even have enough money to hire labor. Ten acres of land, even if you wear the stars and wear the moon, it is impossible to finish it!
When Lin Zhaoyuan and Mu Hua came back, they saw their granddaughter squatting on the ground with a sad face, holding something with a wooden stick in her hand. When they got closer, they saw that it was a mess, like a ghost drawing amulets.

"What are you drawing?"

The sudden sound made Zhang Xiaocao jump in fright. When she looked up, she happened to meet the noon sun. She closed her eyes subconsciously. She stood up and looked, but she couldn't stand firmly. She almost fell to the ground. It turned out that her legs were numb. up!

Mu Hua hurriedly reached out to help, but another pair of slender hands got there first. He turned his head and stared fiercely at the owner of his hands, almost piercing through.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you move a chair?"

With a natural tone, the angry Mu Hua almost couldn't hold back, and rushed forward to bite someone.

After glaring at someone again, he angrily moved the chair away.

Lin Zhaoyuan supported Zhang Xiaocao, and shook his head: "It's really worrying for such a big man to walk and fall, alas!"

I want you to take care!
Zhang Xiaocao glared at him, and wanted to pull out her arm, but she was not as strong as a human being, so she couldn't pull it out after a long time.

Mu Hua quickly took out a chair and put it behind Zhang Xiaocao. She sat down and tried to stamp her feet, hoping to get better soon. The feeling of numbness in her legs was so uncomfortable, like thousands of ants Like crawling.

Lin Zhaoyuan also let go, looked carefully at the ghostly symbols on the ground, and asked again: "What are these?"

At first glance, this thing looks like a ghostly drawn talisman, but after a second look, it is not difficult to find the pattern in it. These lines are like a special symbol. He has read many books, and even dabbled in books from other countries. Just can't see what that actually means.

Seeing his attention, Zhang Xiaocao was obviously suspicious, but can she tell him that these are Arabic numerals?
"I wrote these things randomly. You also know that I can't read. It will be difficult to keep an account book in the future, so I want to use these symbols instead!"

Zhang Xiaocao panicked, and watched his reaction while talking, but saw that he was staring at the numbers on the ground without moving his brows, and he didn't know whether he understood or didn't believe it!

Lin Zhaoyuan didn't think about the truth of what she said, but was thinking about whether this painting is simpler than Chinese characters, whether it can be studied in depth, and finally popularized.

Zhang Xiaocao didn't know what he was thinking, but if he knew, he would give a thumbs up and praise this man's brain!Sure enough, he is a young genius, and his brain turns faster than ordinary people!
After Grandma Zhang came back, the family began to have lunch, but Lin Zhaoyuan had no intention of leaving at all.
