Nongmen pretty businesswoman

Chapter 67

Although there was no rain this year, everyone gritted their teeth and planted wheat. If there was no water, they ran more than ten miles to fetch water from the big river.

There was a drought, and the water in the big river was almost dry. There were several fights in the nearby villages because of the water grabbing, and the government was alarmed.

The yamen servants arrested a few troublemakers before they settled down.The government sits in the town and distributes the water to several villages. After all, every family is also planted.Otherwise, I will starve to death next year.

After harvesting the autumn wheat, the rural people are free, but the Ding family is different this year.

The whole family is too busy, and Yuegui and his wife often go back to their mother's house. The family spends all day in the woods, busy and fulfilling.

The bamboo rats in the cave have grown very large. Because of artificial breeding, in addition to eating bamboo normally, the house also puts some other feed from time to time.

The number of bamboo rat holes has grown from three to five, and there are twenty or thirty bamboo rats, large and small.

The golden pheasant develops more slowly, and the golden pheasant lays fewer eggs because of the cold weather.In addition to the call from Qu Huan, there are only a dozen of them after half a year of development.However, no matter the size, they are very beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and lively.

There are four big geese in the family, one big one with three small ones, and they hoot "highly" every day, and the bamboo forest is a lively scene.

I don't know if it's their credit, but none of the golden pheasants and chickens raised were pulled away by weasels.

In the words of Ding Laozhong: "Maybe there is not a single weasel in the forest. Anyway, our family has never lost chickens, but I heard that other families often lose chickens."

The honeysuckle behind the house is already half a meter high, and it has been covered with a thin layer of wheat straw for fear of frostbite.

There has been no rain for nearly a year, and more and more people in the village are fleeing famine to beg for food.

The big one and the two were wandering in the village, and there was a lot of news, and they would talk about it when they got home.

"I heard that the county lords in the city started to open warehouses to release grain. The looting was so intense that several people died."

"Some bandits came out, robbing rich families. They even murdered and set fire to them. The county lord is arresting them with a big knife!"

The whole family seldom went to the city, they only listened to hearsay from beggars, not sure if it was true or not.

Winter is coming, the cold wind is howling, the broken house is leaking everywhere, and the house is very cold. As long as there is no need to work behind the house, the family doesn't go out very much.

In the past, in the countryside, hard-working housewives would buy shoe soles at home during the winter.Otherwise, when the weather is warm, they have to work in the fields and have no time to make shoes.

There are many women in the family, and a string of new shoes can be hung on the wall!

It was cold and there were no herbs to clean up, so Ding Xiang followed her mother and eldest sister to learn how to make shoes and clothes, which was also very interesting.

On this day, the matchmaker suddenly came to the door, which surprised the whole family.

The matchmaker is from a neighboring village, known as "Aunt Hua", and she is quick to talk, and when she sits down at home, she gets right to the point, "Sister Ding, brother Lao Zhong, I'm here to propose a marriage to your family Ding Xiang. You two listen, If it suits you, just say it, if it doesn’t suit you, just let me drop by."

Yuegui happened to be there too, so she hurriedly greeted: "Aunt Hua, it's very cold, please sit down and drink some water first, don't worry."

The big one and the two were fighting in the west room, and when they heard the matchmaker came, they rushed over, "Say matchmaking for my second sister? Which family's eldest brother?"

Old God Ding Xiang sat on the ground, looked at Aunt Hua speechlessly, and said displeasedly: "I'm only sixteen after Chinese New Year, I don't want to propose marriage so early!"

"Besides, the family lives well. I don't know what's going on when I go to another house. I don't know the man from where, so I don't want to marry!"
