The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 244 Finding the truth

"What's strange? It's not that Brother Yun himself was not careful. This is his first pregnancy. I don't know if it's normal for me not to notice."

"The first time he was pregnant, he didn't know whether the elders around him could know. I think it was because he didn't care about it. No wonder others."

"What did Brother Yun say before? It seems that the ground was very slippery at that time. Anyway, I think there is a problem."

"I think it's better to let Brother Yun go home to raise the baby. After he gives birth to the baby, he can decide whether to go back to work in Doufang."

"That's right, after my brother gets married and has a baby, he should stay at home well. If he always goes out, his heart will be wild. Brother Yun's son Chen is also very big-hearted, and he doesn't know how to persuade his husband."

……

Everyone chattered, and Lin Xiazhi got a general idea, and almost understood what was being discussed in the village at this time.

Lin Xiazhi squeezed into the crowd and looked at Lin Chengyun, Lin Chengyun's husband Lin Chen, Lin Chengyun's brother Lin Chengliang, Lin Chengyun's elder brother Lin Chengliang, and Lin Jiushu, Lizhenghe clan elders, who were in the center of everyone's discussion.

At this time, Lizheng was being overwhelmed by everyone's talk, and when he saw Lin Xiazhi coming over, his eyes lit up: "Brother Xia, you are back!"

Lizheng's voice was loud, and his roar made the villagers quiet down, and they all turned to look at Lin Xiazhi in unison.

The status of the Lin family in Linjia Village is unusual, and Lin Xiazhi's husband's family is also unusual in the eyes of the villagers in Linjia Village. Everyone's opinion of Lin Xiazhi has gradually changed from a young brother in the same village to a husband of a rich family, which is quite unreasonable. Respect.

"Second Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa, Fifth Grandfather, Sixth Grandpa, Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Brother Yun, Lin Chen, Brother Liang." Lin Xiazhi called out to everyone one by one.

Everyone expressed their welcome to Lin Xiazhi's return to the village.

"Xia Geer, it's good for you to come back at this time."

"Hey, luckily Xia Geer is back."

"Cheng Shaofu, you came back just in time."

……

"I heard from Xiaoqiu that something happened to Doufang, but I didn't dare to delay, and I came back immediately." Lin Xiazhi said with a smile, and looked at the circle of villagers.

"Oh, this incident is so troublesome, now many people think that brother shouldn't be recruited into the bean shop." Li Zheng sighed, frowning tightly to show his worry.

"Oh?" Lin Xiazhi raised his eyebrows, expressing his disapproval, "If you ask me, Doufang should recruit more brothers."

Lin Xiazhi's words were like adding water to boiling hot oil, and the crowd exploded.

"What! Want to recruit more brothers?"

"Absolutely not, this is too contrary to etiquette!"

"I said Xia Geer's idea is good, that is, we should recruit more brothers. We husbands work at home every day, and the men in the family are not satisfied with this or that. I feel that I have earned some money and come back. .”

"You're right, it's not enough for my brother to work in the bean farm during the day to earn money. The elders of the child's family can help look after him. It's better to take care of him when he goes back at night. Earn more money and send the child to school. , isn’t it better for the child?”

"That's right, I'll go to work in the bean factory, and I'll take some money back home to see if those people still have the face to criticize me."

"Well, you lazy man, I had such an idea in my heart. No wonder I don't like doing this when I'm at home, and I don't like doing that. I often push back and forth."

"Bah, are you doing something? Raising pigs and sheep, cooking for pigs and sheep, cleaning pig pens and sheep pens, and the daily life of the family, that's not something I work hard at home. I'm as tired as a dog every day. I can't ask for it."

……

In recent years, everything in the village has been discussed by everyone, and the husbands have become more courageous, expressing their opinions one after another, worthy of the men in the family.

For a while, the attitude of the villagers at the scene became clear. Both supporters and opponents stood up and explained that most of the husbands agreed with Lin Xiazhi's statement, and some husbands thought that Lin Xiazhi's proposal was too unconventional and unfavorable to the development of the village.

Among them, those men who went out to do business and broadened their horizons felt that their husbands could work in the bean farm in the village, anyway, they were in their own village, not outside.

Lin Xiazhi immediately shifted everyone's attention from Lin Chengyun's pregnancy to his elder brother going to work in Linjiacun Doufang.

This time, the clan elders and Li Zheng were also a little bit drumbeating about Lin Xiazhi's proposal. This was a big break from the previous tradition. Would other villages think that their village's approach was too radical.

"Actually, my proposal is for the sake of the villagers. Who are the real earners in our village?" Lin Xiazhi revealed what he had thought up on the road. Are you doing other business? Is doing business to make money?"

"It's true. They started selling tofu, and now everyone has accumulated a lot of money. Basically, every household has built a new house." Li Zheng nodded.

"Then look at how much money you can earn in a year by working in Doufang? Of course, I'm not saying that the workmanship in Doufang is not good. The working hours in Doufang are stable and the wages are stable. There are holidays and rituals during the Chinese New Year. It is convenient to take care of the family, very suitable for husbands.”

"As for doing business by yourself, you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses, you can't rest every day, you are busy from morning to night, and even from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. These are also the difficulties of doing business. Naturally, it is not suitable for taking care of the husbands at home."

"But generally speaking, as long as you can go out and do business, you can earn more money than you can get in Doufang. Do you think it's better for a brother to go out for business or a man for business?"

Lin Xiazhi didn't even need to think about this question, and just blurted out: "Of course it can only be a man who goes out to do business."

"That's it. There are still many husbands in our village who want to work in the workshop, and the men in the bean workshop must also want to leave the bean workshop and go out to do small business. Why not let everyone choose again?"

Lin Xiazhi's words are quite inspiring. Many men who have worked in Doufang for one or two years recall that their neighbors saved much more money than their own when they did not work in Doufang. The family not only built a new house, but also had cattle or Donkey, his heart is on fire.

He can let his husband in the family work in the bean farm and work outside by himself. In this way, the family has a stable income and does not worry about food and clothing for the family. The husband can still take care of the family. It must be better.

"I still say the same thing. The things in our Doufang are actually done by brothers and men. Husbands are careful, and what they do may be better than men's." Lin Xiazhi continued, "Of course, this No matter it is a big event for the village or for each family, let’s put it aside, I came here today mainly to talk about my husband who was pregnant while working in the bean farm.”

Everyone has calmed down and started to follow Lin Xiazhi's thoughts.

During the heated discussion just now, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Chengyun carefully about the situation when he fell. Lin Chengyun said that he felt that the ground was very slippery and he couldn't stand on it at all.

You know, Lin Chengyun has been very careful since he found out that he was pregnant. The shoes on his feet are specially made of soft cloth, which are very light and not easy to slip when walking. It stands to reason that it is impossible to fall in that position.

Lin Xiazhi suspected that there was something wrong with the puddle of water on the ground, so he proposed to take a look at the place where Lin Chengyun slipped and fell.

"The water where we slipped and fell has dried up, so we can't see anything at this time, right?" said the person next to him.

"That's not necessarily true." Lin Xiazhi insisted on going there.

Others in the village did not object to Lin Xiazhi's proposal. Since he wanted to go, Lizheng took everyone to Doufang again.

Doufang was already making bean curd sticks and bean sticks at this time. In order not to affect everyone's work, only a few of them entered the Doufang, and the others waited outside.

The place where Lin Chengyun slipped was indeed free of water stains. I don't know if it was dried naturally or someone wiped it off.

"Did anyone see the water before you left?" Lin Xiazhi asked.

Li Zheng shook his head: "At that time, everyone was nervous that Brother Yun had gone, and no one cared about the water on the ground."

Lin Chengyun replied: "There is only a small puddle of water, probably because the Doufang has been burning and the temperature is high, and the water dried up by itself."

"That's not sure." Lin Xiazhi muttered, and he squatted down to carefully look at the ground that once had water.

Stretching out his fingers to touch the ground, the touch is normal and not greasy. Lin Xiazhi suspected that someone had oiled the ground before, but now it seems that this possibility is unlikely, and then Lin Xiazhi stretched his fingers to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

Lin Xiazhi's actions made everyone puzzled, and Li Zheng asked, "Brother Xia, what are you doing?"

"This smell——" Lin Xiazhi ignored Li Zheng, and he moved closer, "Master, do you want to come over and smell this smell? I think it's very familiar, but I just can't remember it."

After hearing Lin Xiazhi's words, everyone except Lin Chengyun and a few clan elders gathered together.

Lin Chengyun was pregnant, although he hadn't shown it for more than a month, but he was frightened just this morning, so squatting on the ground like this was not good for him and the baby in his stomach.

The elders of the clan were old, their bones were not good, their eyes and nose were not working well, so they didn't squat down to join in the fun.

Everyone imitated Lin Xiazhi, wiped the ground with their fingers and smelled it under their noses to see what it smelled like.

"Why does it smell like green grass?"

"The grass outside hasn't grown yet, how could it smell like green grass? Don't talk nonsense."

"I think it smells like old rice."

"The most popular food in our bean shop is beans and rice? This is too ridiculous."

Lin Xiazhi listened to their discussion, the corners of his mouth twitched, it was so obvious why this group of people didn't get to the point.

Finally, Lin Chengyun's elder brother Lin Chengliang slapped the ground: "This is clearly the smell of saponins!"

In winter, everyone spends a lot of money on firewood for bathing, and everyone washes it only once in a few days or even ten days, and suddenly they don’t remember the smell of saponins.
