Abandoned Husband to Farm the Farm

Chapter 39

When Aunt Jing saw that her nephew had a son, she wept with joy, holding Qiuqiu in her arms.Everyone was comforted.Mu Xiaolu also told her a little bit about the experiences of these years in private, but of course he said all lies.Aunt Jing didn't know the truth, she just nodded.

Mu Xiaolu was fortunate that he rented Sanjin's house, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to house so many people.

The three wretched women all lived in the backyard.

It is true that there are three women in one drama.Mu Xiaolu found that her aunt had become much more radiant since she moved in. She took two young women to do the housework. Only the heavy work that women could not do was handed over to Xiao Sulin, who took care of everything. clean.Someone took turns watching the children, and Sister Su's burden was much lighter.Mu Xiaolu sighed that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this aunt is right.

Three days after Aunt Jing and Taoye moved in, the tailor brought them new clothes.In addition, I made a whole set of clothes, shoes and socks for the whole family to celebrate the family reunion.

Aunt Jing touched her brand new dress and wanted to cry again, but she held back this time, raised her head and smiled at Mu Xiaolu, "Yuan, don't waste it like this, it's not easy to earn money, with such a big family, how about Save it. Your cousin and I can make clothes, shoes and socks, so let’s do it in the future, don’t buy it.”

Mu Xiaolu smiled and agreed, feeling that having a mother-like woman at home is really like a home, and she is very heartwarming, but it is only a matter of three or five taels of money, and my aunt is so distressed.

Mu Xiaolu decided to see if there were any business opportunities first, so he took Xiaofei for a walk on the street.The downtown area of ​​the town is also divided into several functional areas, Mu Xiaolu instinctively went to see the pork.In the past, Xiaofei and Sulin were housekeepers, but I really never came to buy meat.

The town is very small, there is only one pork shop, and the butcher is a big man with a beard. When he saw Mu Xiaolu and Xiaofei coming, he greeted them enthusiastically.Mu Xiaolu walked to a big man's butcher shop, and asked with a smile, "Brother, I want a catty of pork belly." The big man quickly cut it up for him and wrapped it in lotus leaves.

Mu Xiaolu took it and asked, "Brother, do you collect the pork yourself, or are they delivered to your door?"

Seeing such a beautiful person as Mu Xiaolu talking to him in a pleasant manner and calling him big brother, the big man blushed a little and replied with a stammering smile: "I collected them all myself, go to each house to collect them."

Mu Xiaolu asked again: "How much pork can you sell in a day? Are there many pig farmers here? Does each family raise many pigs? How much money does a pig sell?"

The big man laughed at the series of questions, paused for a while before replying: "My lord, why do you ask this? People here don't eat much pork, the rich eat meat every day, and the poor only buy meat during the Chinese New Year. No one here specializes in raising pigs. They raise one or two pigs, sell one, and kill the other for their own food. Some people don’t raise pigs because they don’t have enough food. The price of live pigs is not certain, but it won’t More than three taels of silver."

Mu Xiaolu nodded, took the meat and took Xiaofei away, and walked around for a while, suddenly found a stall selling fur game over there, so he went to have a look.I saw all kinds of game, including pheasants, raccoon dogs, carp, hares, and even a half-sized wild boar.

Mu Xiaolu's heart moved, if he raises wild animals and sells them, what kind of profit will he get?Thinking about it, he asked the middle-aged man who bought wild boars: "Brother, can you often hunt wild boars?"

Seeing someone come to ask, the man happily replied: "I only have this end today, but I can call it almost every month. If you like it, please leave your name and address, and the next time I get a call, I will send it to you." past."

Mu Xiaolu nodded and asked, "Do people buy a lot of wild game here?"

The man replied: "They are all bought by rich people like you, and they sell quickly. Some of them I sent directly to the house. You see, I am the best hunter in these three miles and five villages. The others who hit it can't hit it."

"is it?"

"Young master, do you doubt it? You see, this wild boar is not easy to kill. I even killed a leopard last year!"

Seeing that Mu Xiaolu doubted him, the man blushed and narrated his heroic deeds aloud.A thinner hunter next to him smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Zhao is the best hunter. We all admire him."

Mu Xiaolu said again: "Then are these prey really selling well?"

"A lot of rich people are scrambling to buy them, but they have to be sold in big cities, and it takes two or three days to go back and forth. We don't have any big prey these days, so we have to sell them in the town so that we can go back in time. Hit it. Go to the city when you get a good shot.” ​​Several hunters rushed to talk, afraid that they would not buy it if they said it would not sell well.

Mu Xiaolu nodded, went over to look at a few pheasants with colorful feathers, and left.

Seeing that he asked for a long time and left without buying anything, the hunters were a little resentful.

While walking, Mu Xiaolu turned his head and said, "Are you tired? General Wang?"

Wang Hui smiled and walked to Mu Xiaolu's side.

Mu Xiaolu sighed deeply and said, "It's almost noon, I invite you to dinner, let's have a good talk." Saying that, he and Xiaofei walked forward first.

There are several restaurants in the town, they are not big, but there are also many people.Mu Xiaolu asked for a small private room, ordered food and tea, but did not order wine.

Seeing Wang Hui sitting next to him, Mu Xiaolu frowned and said, "General, I have already told the old man that I can put aside the past, and we can just pretend we never knew each other?"

A smile spread across Wang Hui's handsome face, he slowly shook his head and said, "No. I'm following you."

Mu Xiaolu really had no choice, so he went all out and said, "General, if you keep pestering me, I won't be polite."

Wang Hui blinked twice, and sneaked up to Mu Xiaolu's side. If it wasn't for Xiaofei's presence, he probably couldn't bear it anymore, and he had to give him a hug.

Mu Xiaolu frowned and said: "General, you are an important minister of the court, how can you be such a rascal and bully us ordinary people?"

"I know I was wrong, can you forgive me?" Wang Hui grabbed Mu Xiaolu's hand, the general no longer cared about his face in front of others, and became anxious.This Mu Xiaolu doesn't want to get in, and he doesn't dare to force him, when will he be able to catch up with him?I thought about it all night last night, and there was nothing I could do.It turns out that the human heart is the farthest and most elusive place.Grandpa said he was annoying, but he ignored him all day long. Could it be that he would be with him forever?Um, Wang Hui felt a headache, and couldn't help but sighed.

Mu Xiaolu looked at him coldly and shook off, but he was not angry.

Wang Hui would rather he scolded and beat him violently, at least he had a reaction?But he was always so tepid, neither impatient nor impatient, like water that couldn't be boiled, he was so anxious to death.

Negotiations went completely different ways and ended in breakdown.

The three went home separately in two ways, each with their own thoughts and unhappy.Mu Xiaolu couldn't figure it out, there are so many beautiful men and women in the world, do they have to be themselves?Since you say you don't force yourself, why don't you let go?

What Wang Hui couldn't understand was that he had condescended like this, without any dignity at all, why Mu Xiaolu still didn't agree?

Mu Xiaolu went home depressed, Aunt Jing saw that he was not happy, so she asked what happened.Mu Xiaolu was embarrassed to tell the truth, but Aunt Jing suddenly asked, "Xiao Yuan, why did you change your name? Is it because of that noble friend?"

Mu Xiaolu rolled his eyes.Aunt Jing said: "You don't need to say it, Auntie is from here, why can't she see what the nobleman is thinking? Is he the one you followed? No way?"

Mu Xiaolu shook his head.

Aunt Jing said again: "We are a poor family, if we can avoid causing trouble, what do you think?"

"It's him who keeps pestering me. I already have a family and a mouth. I can't say anything. I can't beat him and scold him. He is a general of the town. He is the first rank in the dynasty. His grandfather is the minister of Zhixiu. If he offends him Get up." Mu Xiaolu was completely worried.

"That's it, what should I do? Auntie doesn't think that person is a bad person, he is very kind, can't you talk about it? A general, who can't find him anywhere, insists on hanging on you? This man and man, tell him It doesn't sound good." Aunt Jing was also worried.

Mu Xiaolu had no choice but to say: "I don't dare to offend him too much, so I can just ignore him now, and wait until he gets bored and stops coming."

The aunt and nephew discussed secretly.

The grandparents and grandchildren of Wang Hui's family are also discussing.

Mr. Wang stroked his beard and frowned, "This kid really has a heart like a rock? He looks soft like water, but he's actually harder than anyone else."

"Yeah, grandfather, his aunt said two days ago to ask him to continue the string as soon as possible. What should I do? I followed him all day today and there was no result." Wang Hui's anxious mouth was about to bubble.

Elder Wang patted his head and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it, what did you do with him all day today?"

"I just asked about pork, and I asked the hunter's game that sells wild game. I have seen all the game. There are wild boars, pheasants, raccoon dogs and so on." Wang Hui suddenly thought: "By the way, he When I was in the army, I always thought about raising pigs. I even caught a wild boar for him. That wild boar is still in the army. I forgot about it. Cough, send a letter to Li Wenxiu to get rid of the wild boar. Yes. I think he wants to raise pigs?"

"Maybe he wants to raise pigs. This kid can endure hardships. No matter what he raises, he wants to support himself and doesn't want to rely on you for food. I think he must be useless for all the things I sent." Wang Lao laughed Looking at his grandson, he was silently mourning for him in his heart. It was really unlucky for this child to know that he loved someone for the first time, but he was rejected firmly.

Wang Hui sat on the little footrest next to the old man, drooped his head and said, "Yes, they are quite economical. And Qi Cheng, he obviously gave him money, but he didn't help me!"

"Qi Cheng is afraid that you will hurt Mu Xiaolu." Elder Wang twitched a few strands of white beard and muttered, "Do you think Qi Cheng likes Mu Xiaolu?"

"What?" The general almost jumped up, "Impossible, Qi Cheng likes women! I saw him flirting with that nanny during the Chinese New Year."

"Ah!" Elder Wang sighed, "Does it have to be him?"

"It must be him." Wang Hui gritted his teeth, his eyes determined.

"Hey! Let's do it this way. You see what he wants to do recently, and you help him do it. He can't drive you out with a big stick. Just be a brown candy, my poor grandson!" Mr. Wang Seeing how pitiful Wang Hui was, he almost wanted to laugh, but since he was his own grandson, he couldn't laugh, and Ninja's beard was shaking.

General Wang has a lot of patience, but now something happened that made him have to leave for a while.The news came from Beijing that the diplomatic mission would leave in a month, but the generals of the guards had not yet been finalized. Hui hurried to Jingzhong to stand by.

Wang Hui was pursuing his lifelong plan like an ant in a hot pot, and he didn't even bother to take advantage of such tricks, but since Uncle Qiu had sent a letter, he had no choice but to go and talk about it.But on the night before departure, Qi Cheng went to the house to greet the old man, and brought a piece of news: Mu Xiaolu was going to the village to raise pigs, or wild boars!

Mr. Wang laughed and said, "My dear grandson, you are miserable, you have to become a swineherd."

Wang Hui was anxiously preparing to go out while thinking, a swineherd is a swineherd, what am I afraid of?Leaving this thought behind, he galloped straight to Beijing.

After discussing with his family for a long time, Mu Xiaolu decided to return to the village to build a pig farm.But raising ordinary pigs is hard work but not much money is earned. Wild boars are needed, which can be sold as wild game.There are also pheasants and hares, as long as they can be raised, they can be raised, and they can be sold to those rich people at high prices.You can only get rich if you earn money from the rich.Everyone was surprised by his ideas and admired them very much.

So Mu Xiaolu, together with Aunt Jing, took Xiaofei to visit the place first, Qi Cheng was still in the palace, and the others stayed at home to look after the house.In fact, Mu Xiaolu really wanted to tell Qi Cheng not to work in the palace until he earned money, but he hadn't made any money yet, so he had to swallow this sentence first.

It’s still the same road as last time, and my mood is different. Now I have relatives, friends to help, and career planning. Hope is ahead. Mu Xiaolu encourages himself, work hard, and he will definitely make money .

The hillside that Mu Xiaolu saw last time was a little far from the village. It was the hill to the east of the village. It was very quiet, and there would be no pollution without human habitation. It was the best for farming.And according to my aunt, the mountains are high and the land is far away, no one comes here, and no one cares about it. Even if people in the village don't come here very often, doesn't that mean you don't even have to pay the rent?

Mu Xiaolu felt lucky to find such a place.

But in order to avoid future troubles, Mu Xiaolu still gave some gifts to the village head and prestigious elders in the village, visited him, and explained that he would return to the village to raise pigs and chickens, hoping to be tolerant.

The mountains over there were originally wild mountains. Who cares about the emperor?But the village chief was happy to accept the gift, and thinking of the last time he heard that there were high-ranking officials who came back with Jing Yuan, he naturally didn't dare to provoke him.Mu Xiaolu unconsciously got some of Wang Hui's favor.

Brother Zhao, the hunter who hunted wild boars last time, sent a letter saying that he had found an adult male wild boar and had been tracking it for several days, and he might be able to catch it soon.Mu Xiaolu was very happy, spring happened to be the time to breed piglets, and he hoped that he could catch that wild boar smoothly.

After the place was settled, I went back to the town to find a mason to build a house.The structure of the house is based on the previous experience of raising pigs.

In fact, Mu Xiaolu really wants to use the latest technology—fermentation bed to raise pigs and chickens, but without thermometers and hygrometers, it is difficult to strictly control the data, and it is easy to fail. It is better to use local methods first, raise them first, and have capital and surplus Think about other funds.

Back at the house, after dinner, when everyone was about to fall asleep, Mu Xiaolu was still drawing blueprints under the lamp, and finally being able to earn money to support his family by himself, he could hardly conceal his excitement.The spirit between the brows rose.Xiaofei smiled and said, "Why are you so happy these days? Raising a pig is so good?"

After finishing the last stroke, Mu Xiaolu put down the stick of charcoal and said with a smile, "Yes, I was originally a pig breeder, so of course I'm happy."

Xiao Fei stretched his waist and said: "Ah, I haven't paid attention to practicing kung fu these days, I'm going to practice for a while, you should also step up to practice that spell, or if you meet someone like Xiu Qing again, what should you do if something happens again? "

Mu Xiaolu nodded: "Okay, practice for a while before going to bed."

The two entered the space, and the whole world illuminated by the radiant fairy spring was full of colorful light, what a wonderful place.If this place can make a living, Mu Xiaolu really doesn't want to go out.

The peach tree has now grown to the height of two people, with dense branches and leaves, like a beautiful big umbrella.Because the climate here is much warmer and more humid than outside, all the vegetation grows more luxuriantly, more like the south of the Yangtze River where the grass grows and warblers fly, the mountains are warm and the water is warm. Mu Xiaolu can't help but miss his hometown.Looking around, he felt that it would be better to grow some rice and vegetables here. It is a completely pollution-free green food. With the aura of the fairy spring tree, the food grown may prolong life, and the emperor will not give him to eat it!

The two sat cross-legged and meditated under the peach tree facing each other.Mu Xiaolu already knows how to meditate and move his Qi channels, that's all. The only spell he learned is to attract things—magpies.Right now, there is a flower magpie standing on Mu Xiaolu's hand with eyes wide open, drowsy and drowsy.Mu Xiaolu had no choice but to put it on the branch and let it sleep.

Xiaofei said regretfully: "If you can attract bees, you can also sting the bad guy away. What can a magpie do? Could it be that a magpie bridge is built for you to spend your honeymoon with him?"

Mu Xiaolu angrily ignored Xiaofei.

It was already late at night when he came out, after washing up, Xiao Fei went back to his room to rest.Through the back window, Mu Xiaolu saw that the oil lamps were still on in the three rooms in the backyard.From the figures on the window paper, it can be seen that cousin Taoye and sister Su are still doing needlework.It's been so hard, I will remind them not to do this tomorrow, the family still has money to live on, so they don't have to work so hard.

My aunt was playing with Qiuqiu, and this kid was laughing loudly, staying up so late, making the old man hard, really deserves a beating, just like your own father, Wang Hui, who deserves a beating.

During the day, my mind is full of things, and I have no time to think about Wang Hui. In the dead of night, it is difficult to fall asleep, and instead I think of Wang Hui.He is the child's biological father, but Mu Xiaolu doesn't want to have anything to do with him at all. He can support Qiuqiu by himself. When the child is older, if there is a chance, he will marry a wife. Anyway, there is an elder like an aunt. A man dares to treat his own son slowly.

After thinking about it, Mu Xiaolu fell asleep.In fact, it was very tiring. In the dream, he was either fighting Wang Hui, kicking Xiu Qing, or chasing pigs all over the mountain. Tired.When can we stop and live in peace?

When the pig farm is built, materials are used according to local conditions. The simple houses are built first, and then they are built when they have money.The walls were even built from discarded stones, at no cost.Mu Xiaolu thought about asking his aunt to grow some pepper saplings with pepper seeds, and then transplant them densely along the fence. When the pepper trees grow up, it will be a ready-made fence, and no one can get in. an income.

It's just that Brother Zhao's wild boar has not been caught for a long time, so he is a little anxious.Moreover, Mu Xiaolu suddenly realized that he had almost no strength to restrain a chicken. This body is really useless. Back then, he could overturn a pig by himself, but now he was almost too tired to move the stone after a few days. The huge contrast made him He realized that he could no longer be used as a strong labor force. Others, Xiao Fei and Su Lin are not very old, and their strength is about the same as his own, so only Qi Cheng is qualified, that is not enough, Qi will be exhausted big brother.

what to do?We had to recruit one or two strong guys.

well!It was another expense, Mu Xiaolu was very reluctant, but there was nothing he could do for the time being.

Looking around the village, there is no free labor. Every family has land to plant, not to mention that the wages cannot be paid too high.Then go to the town to post an advertisement?You can always find the right one, right?Alas, this place is remote, and it is hard to find someone here, so I can only entrust it to Brother Zhu, who sells pork, to help him find someone and bring them here.
