Doomsday Farm Tour

Chapter 14 The Little Apprentice

Bran, bean flour, and corn flour are mixed with fresh fodder in a huge iron pot and are constantly boiling and stirring. The white steam seeps out a thin layer of sweat on the hot forehead in the slightly cold spring day. The hired workers transported the excrement out in buckets, ready to be piled into the dug earth pits to be used as fertilizer for watering the ground. Seeing the bright yellow chicken cub grow new wings, both Lu and Zheng's families were overjoyed. Go through the initial dangerous period, and you should not go wrong if you are more careful on weekdays.

"Ah, I said that I cut off the chicken's new wings in a few days, so as not to fly out of the fence." Chang'an worked with Zheng's father to put the cooked chicken food in a cool place, and delivered lunch with just now. Lu Xiao said. Hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded and asked the workers to wash their hands and prepare for meals. In addition to normal pickles and boiled vegetables, they brought a boiled egg for each person. This was suggested by Lu Xiao. Long-term workers do all physical work, and it would be a hassle to find someone if they were really exhausted. What's more, his family only employs three long-term workers, and adding an egg a week is not unbearable.

The long-term worker looked at the egg and was a little moved but didn't say anything, just winked silently. Lu Xiao watched him stuff the egg into the rag bag beside him, but said nothing.

"Qian Zhuang's daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she should have brought her back to his daughter-in-law." Changan saw that Lu Xiao didn't intend to stop him at all, and lowered his voice. After hearing this, Lu Xiao took a second look at the man. Originally, the eggs were for Qian Zhuang... As for whether he eats it himself or brings it home to his relatives, it has nothing to do with him.

Qian Zhuang fled to Lujia Village three years ago when there was a severe drought in the north. I wandered all the way to Lujia Village, and my money was exhausted long ago. Qian Zhuang was originally an orphan with no name and no surname in the north, and he relied on his strength to get by. A severe drought forced him to leave his hometown, and when he arrived in Lujia Village, no matter how tough a man was, he couldn't bear it. Fortunately, the village was relatively rich at that time, Qian Zhuang and strong. He works for free and doesn't need wages to get a lunch, so many people hire him. After slowly recovering, Qian Zhuang went to work in a distant mine. After working as a miner for nearly two years, Qian Zhuang finally bought a field in Lujia Village and settled down. His daughter-in-law is also a poor person, she was sold out by her family. At first it was not clear how, but later his wife might have been moved by Qian Zhuang... cut off contact with her natal family, and lived her life with all her heart. Although the small days are not rich, they are better than being stable...

Lu Xiao was quite accepting of buying a daughter-in-law. After all, it was quite normal for people to sell themselves as slaves in ancient times. If you can't support them, you can earn a living if you sell them.

"Where did you hear it from?" Lu Xiao smiled and stuffed a piece of potato into Chang'an's mouth. Except for necessary farm work, Chang'an didn't like to go out, let alone gossip about the neighbors.

Chang'an smiled embarrassedly, these were told to him by his good friends before they got married. It is indeed embarrassing and sympathetic for the brother of Qian Zhuang's family to be sold by his mother's family, but Qian Zhuang bought him and treated him sincerely...in fact, he was lucky. For a village like theirs, which is relatively well-to-do and considered to be in good weather, there is absolutely no incident of selling children and daughters in recent years, otherwise Chang'an would not have heard of it.

Did he sympathize with the pregnant brother? Lu Xiao was silent for a while, understanding what Chang An said in a low voice. With his own temperament, he didn't care what happened to Qian Zhuang's family. It was Qian Zhuang's daughter-in-law who was pregnant and not his... There are too many facts about Dou Michou and Sheng Mien.
