Return to the small mountain village in 1981

741-750

Chapter 741 757: Abacus Zhou Huaian curled his lips, "Now even I don't care about his family, what can they do to my family?"
Zhou Yiding: "I heard the couple discussing that they wanted to borrow money from your family to buy a tractor, but they were afraid that my second father would not agree, so I didn't hear what happened next."

"I can't possibly lend them money." Zhou Huaian said with a smile, "Ever since he said those words at my house, he was hurt, and he no longer listens to Zhou Dachun like he used to."

Zhou Yiding thought about the past, "Second Dad used to be too honest. Sometimes the eldest wife's words were more effective than the second mother's. Look at the village, every time the honest people suffered losses."

"Of course not! He has too much work to do and doesn't care about my family. Whenever my dad comes to complain, he will take my brother and his family to help him with the work, and then go home to eat. My mom often quarrels with him about this."

As they were talking, the two arrived at the path along the edge of the field. There were mulberries, broad beans, and peas in the field below, most of which had pods.

The stalks of sweet rapeseed are growing very tall, and there are hardworking little bees collecting nectar from the tender yellow rape flowers, purple-red pea flowers, sedge flowers, and purple-white broad bean flowers.

Paddy fields like this, where a variety of crops are grown, are mostly used as rice fields. The broad beans, peas, and rapeseed planted in them are not grown for the pods, but are harvested when they are still green seedlings, taken home, and used as pig feed after being dried.

These days, the only fertilizers are ammonium carbon and urea, and people are reluctant to use them. Every household raises a few pigs, and watering the fields and making compost all depend on the manure produced by the pigs, so their feed must be sufficient.

The two chatted all the way until they arrived behind the old house. A refreshing scent of yellow horn orchid wafted in the wind.

Zhou Yiding sniffed and said, "Youngest, let's go find two yellow horn orchids and plant them next to the yard. They will smell fragrant for a long time!"

"Okay, find a few more and I'll plant one next to the fish pond."

"That's great!" Zhou Yiding nudged him and said, "Look."

Zhou Huaian turned around and saw Li Yinfu peeling garlic sprouts in the vegetable garden behind her house. She was too lazy to say hello to her and pulled him past under the yellow horn orchid tree.

Before the two of them reached Zhou Sanba's vegetable garden, Zhou Dachun had already arrived at Zhou Huaian's house. Seeing that the courtyard door was ajar, he pushed the door open.

"Woof-woof~" The two dogs shot to the door like arrows, baring their teeth at him and barking "woof woof woof" non-stop.

"You're blind, you even want to bite me!" Zhou Dachun swung the stick in his hand and hit Lai Fu on the back. Wangcai jumped up and grabbed the stick in his mouth, which scared him so much that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"Wangcai, Laifu, come back!" Yang Chunyan ran over and stopped the dog, "What's up, Dad?"

Zhou Dachun pointed at the dog that was staring at him with a fierce look in his eyes, "What kind of dog do you have? Why don't you tie it up if it's so fierce? It's fine if it bites me, but what will you do if it bites someone else?"

Yang Chunyan glanced at the stick in his hand calmly and said in a cold voice: "As long as those people don't force their way into our house and don't beat them, the dogs will at most bark twice to scare people, but they won't pounce and bite."
