"There's no hurry, while I'm still in good shape, I want to plant those fields for another two years. Otherwise, all of a sudden, I don't know what to do. Do you want to follow your mother to raise silkworms? Lao Liu smiled, raising silkworms is a woman's job, and he can't do it as a big man.

Afraid that Liu Yiyi would be unhappy, Lao Liu continued: "But don't worry, Erjo is the life of an official, he doesn't need those lands, sooner or later they will be passed on to you, and then you can sort it out as you want, and your mother and I will not care about you anymore." ”

"Dad," Liu Yiyi heard that Lao Liu's words were a little angry, and he felt very awkward in his heart, what could not be said directly between father and son? He explained to Lao Liu: "I want to put all the land in the family together, in order to let my father enjoy the blessings of a few years as soon as possible, and I don't have to work hard under the sun every day, so that I feel distressed as a son." ”

"I know that my father is worried that I have such a big stall, 30 acres of fields, hundreds of tenant farmers, afraid that there will be some accidents, I can't support it, and wants to leave me a way back, which I understand. So if Dad really doesn't want to, I won't force it. After two years, the foundation of our Liu family has stabilized, and it is not too late to mention it. ”

His mind was broken by Liu Yiyi, and Lao Liu no longer hid it, he looked at Liu Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, you have grown up." There are some things I just don't say, and you can see it. It's good, so I'm more at ease. ”

"You're right, Dad is worried that you suddenly have so many fields and tenants, and there will inevitably be some mistakes in management. Those tenants are all lowly, and there are not many people who are as cultivated as Brother Li today. If they have something to do with you, the family won't be able to help you..."

"And your thirty acres of land are all wasteland. The wasteland is difficult to open, and without three or five years of recuperation, there are no good crops growing in the field. Otherwise, the official family would not be exempt from paying taxes for a year. Take the existing fields in our family, when the village gave me the fields, half of them were wasteland, and I worked hard to raise them for ten years before they became the current fertile land. You can imagine how difficult it is. So I don't want to give up my field until your wasteland is ready. You must know that although there are few fields, they are all good fields, and the annual yield will not be much less than your thirty hectares of wasteland. ”

Liu's honest words make a lot of sense, and under normal circumstances, he is not wrong at all to say this. Wasteland is difficult to plant, and wasteland is difficult to open. In the past, when planting wasteland, there was almost no yield in the first year, and it was fortunate that an acre of land could harvest dozens of catties. It is normal for Lao Liu to have such concerns.

But will the ancients' method of cultivating land be used? The answer is clearly no.

How can I say that Comrade Yi was also an outstanding graduate of a well-known agricultural school in China before, and the theoretical knowledge of his head alone was enough for him to walk sideways in the fields. What's more, he actually followed some farmer masters and animal husbandry masters for two years of internship. How can the combination of theory and practice be stumped by a small wasteland?

However, these are Liu Yiyi's personal secrets, and it is inconvenient to mention them to Liu honestly, even if he really mentions them, Lao Liu will definitely not believe it. Some things are more effective to let the facts speak for themselves.

Liu Yiyi said to Lao Liu: "It's still Dad who is thoughtful, and one makes Dad worried." I have my own way of controlling those tenant farmers, and as for the land reclamation, I can rest assured that I will not disappoint you. I can't tell you anything about these things, but when the harvest arrives this autumn, my father will be able to tell the difference. If Dad still insists on refusing to agree with the land, then I won't say anything more. ”

"Good! Then Daddy will promise you that if the yield of your thirty acres of wasteland after the autumn harvest can be three times that of my 120 acres of fertile land, Daddy will exchange this fertile land for you to manage! Liu honestly gave such a guarantee.

Liu Yiyi smiled, the highest yield of Lao Liu's 120 acres of fertile land was less than 7,000 catties, and according to 7,000 catties, three times that of him, wasn't it only 21,000 catties?

21,000 catties, hehe, Lao Liu's field has been changed this time.

"Oh, that's right," Lao Liu remembered something, anxiously took out a bamboo tube from his arms, handed it to Liu Yiyi, and said, "This is the letterhead sent by the Zhang family in Xiaoxinzhuang this morning, saying that it contains the answer written to you by the Chuchu girl." Take a look, is it the mystery you are talking about? ”

"Oh?" Is there an echo so soon? Liu Yiyi took the bamboo tube, and his mind came to mind the situation when Zhang Chuchu raised his head and asked him for advice two days ago. A little girl who loves arithmetic, rare.

When I opened the bamboo cover, there was a rolled piece of paper inside, and I opened it with my hands, and I saw four silk letters written on the paper: The wind and the moon are boundless.

She actually guessed.

Liu Yi rolled up the paper again, put it in the bamboo tube and put it away, looked up and said to Lao Liu: "Dad, prepare some gifts in the afternoon, let's go to Xiaoxinzhuang again." ”

"Going to Xiaoxinzhuang?" Lao Liu Xi said: "Isn't Miss Chu Chu right?!" ”

It's a great event. Seeing that Liu Yi nodded, he almost didn't jump up from his chair, he quickly walked to the door and shouted loudly at the stove room: "Old woman! Lunch plus two good dishes, I'm going to have a few drinks with the big boy! Huh...."

"What's the matter? Fun for you? Liu He walked out of the stove room with two plates, and when he saw that Liu Laoshi was so happy that his mouth was about to open, he asked.

Lao Liu replied: "In the afternoon, I and the eldest son are going to propose marriage, and this time it can be decided." Hehe, we're about to have a grandson hug, do you think we should celebrate? ”

"Really?" Liu He put the plate on the table, looked at Liu Yiyi and asked, "Is that the girl from the Zhang family?" Well, that girl is good-looking, good-looking, understands etiquette, and can give birth. If you marry home, you will be a good mother-in-law. ”

"Mother, don't listen to my father's nonsense, whether this matter can be done or not is still between the two, and I won't know until I arrive at Zhang's house in the afternoon. My dad was a little anxious. Liu Yiyi couldn't cry or laugh a little, these two old people were going crazy thinking about their daughters-in-law.

"What's still between the two," Lao Liu was a little unhappy, and said, "The girl is willing to send the answer to the riddle, doesn't she agree?" Otherwise, she could have cattled the mystery to the end, why did she send someone to send it to you? ”

Lao Liu said something clear this time. Liu He glanced at him appreciatively and said to Liu Yiyi: "Yiyi, your father is right. The girl has a crush on you. Hehe..., you're all waiting here, I'm going to cook two more good dishes, and this kind of happy event really needs two drinks. ”
