Rebirth of a farmer's daughter

Chapter 119

Zhou Zimu was arranged by Mrs. Yu to live in Zhou Hong's former house. The quilts were replaced with new ones, and even the paper on the windows was just pasted up. It looked much better than before.

"Are you still used to it?" The next day, Zhou Zimu stood in the yard after getting up, feeling confused for a moment.

"It's okay." After hearing Qianjin's voice, he looked back at her and replied after a moment of hesitation.

"Hehe, wash your face first, and you can eat later." Qian Jin didn't say much, the adaptation to the environment depends on the individual, it's useless for her to talk too much, it's better to let him get used to it slowly.

"Okay!" It was already very cold in December, but the water Zhou Zimu used to wash his face was still cold, which made Mrs. Yu keep muttering, saying that his body was frozen or something, leaving Qianjin completely speechless. up.

After breakfast, Zhou Zimu was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Mu'er, Mu'er." Seeing that he had been yelling for a long time, but he ignored him, Qianjin shouted angrily, "Mu'er, wake up!"

"Ah? What?" Zhou Zimu was taken aback by the hand that was suddenly stretched out in front of him, and he answered reflexively and asked.

"Haha..." Qianjin looked at him like that, pointed at him with a big laugh and said, "I've been calling you for a long time, but you ignored me. I didn't expect to call you wooden, but you responded to me instead. You really are ..." Her stomach ached from laughing, and she couldn't even finish her sentence.

Seeing Qianjin's flamboyant appearance, Zhou Zimu's eyes were full of envy.I remember a long time ago, when I was smiling so happily, but unfortunately since my father left, he didn't know what a smile is.In my memory, there are all sad scenes of my mother washing her face with tears, so seeing Qianjin smiling so happily at this moment, my eyes become a little greedy, and I want to engrave this scene deeply into my mind.

"What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?" Seeing that he had been staring at her, Qian Jin stretched out her hand to touch her face at a loss, and asked suspiciously.

"No, what did you want to tell me just now?" Zhou Zimu stopped her little hand touching her face and asked softly.

There are calluses in her hands, but compared to her, they are still soft...

"The land at home is gone, you know about that." She had already told Zhou Zimu about some things, so she picked something he didn't know. "Without land at home, there will be problems with food for the coming year..."

"On the mountain." At this time, Zhou Zimu suddenly said.

"There is on the mountain, but... what?" After understanding the meaning of his words, Qianjin asked with some uncertainty: "You said there is food on the mountain?"

"Yeah!" She nodded obediently, waiting for praise.

"You planted it?" His tone was full of disbelief.

"En!" Still nodding, his eyes shone slightly.

"How much?" How much food can he store by himself?

"I don't know." The unexpected answer made Qianjin tangled up.

"You grow the food, why don't you know?" This guy, can't he talk longer?Obviously sometimes you can talk a lot, so why pretend to be cool?Don't you know that it will be very tiring for others to communicate with him?

If Zhou Zimu knew what was going on in Qianjin's heart, he would definitely complain: I've already given you a lot of face by talking to you. When I was eating yesterday, I could count on one hand.

"I haven't cleaned it up." He grows it every year, but he can't finish it every year. Who knows how much food there is in it.

Qianjin was entangled, and looked at him for a long time, seeing that he was motionless, and finally surrendered. "Let's go up the mountain and have a look!" Such a person at the stall needs to carry out major reforms.

"Okay!" Zhou Zimu nodded without any hesitation.

Qian Jin thought that Zhou Zimu would not be able to produce much food by himself, and she was happy when she thought that there was one or two hundred catties.However, when she saw the grain piled up in the cave, she was completely dumbfounded.

"This cave was originally empty." Seeing Qianjin standing at the door with her mouth wide open, Zhou Zimu casually explained, "I grow the food here."

Seeing that there are about a thousand catties of grain, Qianjin really wants to ask: Do you just grow grain when you are free?

In fact, Qianjin's question and answer really gave the answer.Zhou Zimu lived alone on the mountain, and had no one to talk to him, so farming became his favorite hobby to pass the time.Since he was sensible, he has been wandering with his parents. Every time he goes to a place, he has to move after living for a year or two. So slowly, he got used to it and learned to farm.

Otherwise, he would be alone on the mountain and would not starve to death.

"How much wasteland have you reclaimed?" Looking at the grain in the cave, Qian Jin suddenly thought of the most critical question.Although she knows some things about growing grain, she has never practiced it.If you want to buy land, you can also rent it to others to plant, so that you can save some rations for your family.

But now, when she saw that Zhou Zimu knew how to farm, her heart was bubbling, and she felt that her miserable days were far away, and the days to come would be better day by day.

"I don't know." Zhou Zimu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

Wood, what do you know?On the first day with Zhou Zimu, Qianjin felt defeated.Why did she feel that Zhou Zimu was not only cold, but also lacked a nerve, and what he said was completely incomprehensible to others.

However, when Qianjin saw the wasteland Zhou Zimu reclaimed, she knew why he said that.On the flat land on this mountain, he basically reclaimed mountain land, and the weeds on the mountain were lush. Zhou Zimu knew how to use weeds to burn ashes to fertilize the land, so the reclaimed mountain land was more powerful, and the food he grew was also good.

It's just that there is a piece of land to the east and a piece to the west. Qianjin feels that she really wants Zhou Zimu. Speechless.

"What about the food?" Zhou Zimu asked nervously when he saw that the daughter hadn't spoken, and felt a little flustered inexplicably.

"Sell it." Qian Jin said without thinking.

Didn't it mean there was no food?Why sell?

Although Zhou Zimu didn't deal with people often, he also knew how to read people's faces, especially Qianjin's expression at the moment, which was so dark that it was ugly enough, so Zhou Zimu obediently closed his mouth.

"Qianjin, Mu'er, where have you been?" After the two of them came back, Shi Yu saw that Qianjin's face was not looking good, so she glanced at Zhou Zimu. who bullied.

"On the mountain." Qianjin's legs were limp, and she sat wastefully on a small stool in the yard, looking at Yu Shi weakly and asked: "Mother, if you sell the three-year-old grain to others, does anyone want it?"

"Three years of old grain?" In Yu's eyes, Zhou Zimu is not a good hand at growing grain, so he didn't expect that this problem was caused by Zhou Zimu, so he asked casually: "Who is so wasteful, holding back three years?" The food is old in the past three years, and the taste is not good, who would want it!"

Yu's answer made Zhou Zimu's body stiff for a moment, and he finally knew why Qianjin was angry.

"Who else is there besides this piece of wood!" Qianjin gave Zhou Zimu a blank look, and said to Yu Shi madly: "Mother, you don't know, this piece of wood piled up thousands of catties of grain in the cave on the mountain. This year's, last year's, and even the year before last, I feel dizzy when I see it, how do I sort it out!"

"Ah?" When Yu Shi heard Qianjin's complaint, she was taken aback. Seeing Zhou Zimu not rolling his eyes for a long time, Zhou Zimu moved his body stiffly, and felt that Yu Shi's eyes were so scary that he wanted to eat Human-like, making his whole hair stand on end.
