Chapter 289 It’s great in the future
Fan Qian's face turned red.
Although there were six of them working together, my mother didn't want to cook at home. Jinhua said that if she wanted to cook, she wouldn't do anything about it.
They can't do anything but work without eating, right? So there were only five men working.
The eldest brother said that he had injured his leg before and could not stand for too long; the second child said that his hand was injured before and could not always dig; the fourth child said that he was young and could only do half of the work.
The third child was left alone to say it was unfair and determined not to do more.
He worked so hard all by himself and had to coordinate, how angry he was!
Fortunately, the cattle from the second brother's family joined in, otherwise five acres of land would be too big!
But these cannot be talked about, the family scandal must not be made public, and the four sons have to talk about their marriage, so that it will affect them to find a good girl.
He looked at Fan Jin and said: "Second brother, your ox is very good at plowing the fields, but we don't plow the fields. If it only carries soil, it can't go much faster. One cow is worth five jobs, so we still lose money." "
Fan Jin looked at his elder brother and remained silent.
Xu Laosan was the first to jump out and cursed: "You fart! The cow carries the soil slowly, but it pulls a lot! Can you tell me whether it can pull more than the five of you?"
When Fan Dazhu and the other four heard their father being scolded, their faces turned red, and they pointed at Xu Laosan and yelled: "You, you, what are you talking about?"
"Xu Laosan, keep your mouth clean!"
"We won't be polite if you do this again."
Fan Xiaoliu and Fan Qian were from the same family, so it was hard for them to say bad words, but they cursed in their hearts and asked: "Brother Fan, are you going to regret it? Didn't we agree at the beginning that whoever uses cows and donkeys will approve it?" This rule!”
Why does this man talk and act like fart? He doesn't even want to admit that he is a member of the Fan family!
Fan Dazhu rubbed his neck and shouted: "Who made the agreement with you? Don't we understand? I heard you say how many acres of land are plowed by donkeys and how many acres of land are plowed by oxen. How can it be cost-effective? What's the result?
We are just carrying soil, so it’s not cost-effective at all! This is because you have lied to us. We have been deceived and have nowhere to say anything! "
Dozens of men in the yard opened their mouths when they heard this. They really didn't expect there to be such shameless people.
"Okay, then don't use the cow. Use it for me. I'm willing to pay five wages for it!"
"I do too!"
Fan Erzhu took a step back: "I'll give it to you if you say I'll give it to you? My second uncle hasn't spoken yet."
"Besides, what did we do before? Didn't we lose money for so many days?" Fan Sanzhu asked unhappily.
The men in the yard laughed angrily.
They just discovered that people who are extremely angry can actually laugh.
Fan Jin waited for them to finish speaking. The emotion in his eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Okay, then you can return the oxen. The one in front is the same as the donkey, and it's worth three jobs."
It was the first time that Dudu had not kissed his eldest brother and his family. People in the village would talk about themselves, but they would not talk about him - in this world, men always get preferential treatment, and they only talk about the clear water.
Especially the Fan family, they would not think that it was their brother who was unwilling to lend it, but they would think that it was the woman who was instigating it and was unwilling to lend it to her husband's family.
It's okay now, all the men in the village are here, they can see and hear clearly, he is not angry, they are even more angry than him!
Next time, if they don't borrow it, they will just praise it and make peace with it.
The man in the yard groaned angrily, and when he looked at Fan Qian and the others, their eyes almost burst out with anger.
Fan Qianqian was overjoyed.
Fan Dazhu and others were still a little dissatisfied. They thought that the second uncle would be exempted, but they didn't expect that they would have to pay three more.
They used the oxen for a long time, three a day, so it took many days.
Forget it, the second uncle has already given in, and he will borrow it later. The relationship cannot be too tense.
Don't tell me how useful this cow is! The five of them can do more than the five of them do in one day. Even if they change to five jobs, it is still cost-effective. Three jobs can barely be considered a profit.
Thinking of this, Fan Sanzhu asked his second uncle: "Second uncle, our family has only secured five acres of land. We still need to borrow the cattle for a while. Do you think?"
Li Wu: What are you looking at? I'll pay you back if I ask you to! I still want to borrow it, but I want to eat it.
Other men: What a big face! You can go back on what you said before and still want to borrow it, so why don't you go to heaven.
Fan Jin smiled gently and said: "The cow is tired too. I will take the cow back later. Sanzhu, you are older. I have often heard you say that boys are stronger than girls. I will rely on you in the fields from now on." Uncle Er believes that you can do a good job, no worse than an ox."
Fan Sanzhu's face was blue and white.
In the past, he often said these words to Da Ya, Er Ya and the three girls. At that time, the second uncle did not refute him. Unexpectedly, the second uncle actually remembered it in his heart and said it in such a crowded place!
And is the second uncle praising him? Comparing him to a cow is a compliment, right? But he doesn't sound like it.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Hahahahaha."
Bursts of laughter echoed throughout the courtyard.
Some men laughed so hard that their bodies trembled, not caring whether they would embarrass Fan Qian's family.
Fan Dazhu glared at them fiercely and complained about his second uncle in his heart.
It’s enough to embarrass Sanzhu, why not lend them the cow? Three works a day was enough, and the second uncle did not suffer any loss.
Really.
The old village chief looked at Fan Qian's family and said with a deep look: "Tomorrow we will build a house at the boy's house. Everyone will go. If you don't go, you will be tired when you get back to work on the farm."
When Fan Qian heard this, he immediately said: "Go, let's go tomorrow!"
Listening to this, Brother Li Wensan felt that his father was really powerful. What he said was so effective!
It sounded nice, as if he was thinking about Fan Qian and the others.
After the old village chief arranged for people to go to work, he no longer looked at Fan Qian and others, but turned to look at Fan Jin, and asked with concern: "Your water is inconvenient, have you thought of a solution?"
Fan Jin's smile this time was sincere: "Thank you for your concern, old village chief. We need to dig a few people to dig ditches tomorrow to divert water."
The old village chief was relieved to hear that he had thought of it, and said: "It's settled, then go back, have a good rest and work tomorrow."
He also had to think about the location of the schoolhouse.
The place for children to study and learn to read should be in a good location, preferably in the center of the village, so that no matter which child goes there, it is close and convenient.
It is also convenient for people in the village to gather together.
But the center of the village is already inhabited, and it is very dense, so there is really no open space.
There must be a large area in front that can accommodate hundreds of people.
......The open space in Fan Damu's original house is OK.
Their family was enslaved, sold by death indenture, and could not redeem themselves. All the fields and forests were sold, and the house was used to build a schoolhouse, so that Fan Qian's family would not always have their eyes on that piece of land.
The location is good. Although it is not in the center of the village, it is on the right side of the village head, and there is a large open space in front. If there is something to meet at the village head in the future, it will be just right on that piece of land.
In the future, there will be the sound of children reading aloud in the village.
It will be great in the future.
It doesn't matter even if he can't see it.
