Author: Seven taels of broken silver

The Zhang family’s breakfast is much better than the Cheng family’s.

Cheng Miaomiao held the porridge in one hand and lowered her head while taking a big bite of the golden noodle pancake. It was so delicious that her eyes widened slightly. She squinted her eyes in comfort, eating so deliciously.

The Zhang family were so happy to see that little expression of enjoyment.

Zhang Wei and Zhang Quan even unknowingly ate an extra bowl of porridge just because of her little expression.

Mrs. Lin looked amused and put another chopstick of pickles into her bowl. Seeing her surprised expression, she smiled even more happily.

She said lovingly: "Eat more, eat more, look at how thin you are."

After the meal, I could only hear Cheng Miaomiao mumbling about how delicious it was.

Cheng Erlang's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he should eat or not while holding the rice bowl. They really didn't treat Miaomiao too harshly at home, especially recently, he has been giving her extra meals intentionally or unintentionally.

After dinner, Cheng Erlang proposed the purpose of his trip - to borrow money.

After Zhang Wei heard this, he directly took out three taels of silver and gave it to him, and said: "I know some people who specialize in building houses for others. I will go find them later. They have wood and other things on hand. I can just build them."

You can use it as soon as you come, and it’s cheap.”

"You can buy kitchen bricks from Lao Dengtou in the next village. The bricks he sells there are cheaper than those in the town."

He introduced all aspects to Cheng Erlang warmly.

Cheng Erlang was so grateful that he almost called him brother.

The adults were talking about business here, but Cheng Miaomiao was carried aside by Mrs. Lin, who smiled and stuffed a handful of fried peanuts into her pocket, and then asked Zhang Quan to take her out to play.

Zhang Quan had never brought up such a small child before, so he only took her around the house.

He has a dull temper and doesn't know how to get along with children. He can only introduce them dryly: "That's the chicken pen, that's the bucket, that's the pig pen...that's the bricks, that's the vegetable patch."

Cheng Miaomiao followed him, walking with a whisper.

Every time I saw something I had never seen before, I would scream in surprise, and after listening to his introduction, I would also scream in surprise, which made Zhang Quan’s ears burn.

Finally, Cheng Miaomiao took his hand and stopped in front of the vegetable patch. She looked at the vegetables that were growing very well in the garden, reached out and poked the long green cowpeas, and praised: "The vegetables are growing very well!"

Looks really good.

Anyway, it will definitely grow better than the vegetable patch that Mrs. Zhao serves.

Zhang Quan felt a little funny. Can such a young child see what is good and what is bad? When he looked at Cheng Miaomiao's bright eyes, he couldn't help but say: "These are all from my mother, baby."

Already."

"Grandma is so precious about her food that she doesn't even let me in."

Cheng Miaomiao puffed up her cheeks in anger when she mentioned this. She wanted Mrs. Zhao to know what she had missed!

He actually rejected the majestic mountain god. Didn’t he see how good the myrtle plant in the backyard was?

Zhang Quan reached out and touched her little head.

Cheng Miaomiao's thoughts moved slightly, and wisps of divine power spread out from her fingers, turning into golden stars, scattered throughout the vegetable garden, some falling on the vegetable leaves, and some falling into the soil.

'Grow tall, strong, and bear much fruit!'

All green vegetables received strength feedback.

After hearing this soft and waxy voice, they did not open their spiritual consciousness, but subconsciously felt that listening to her words was absolutely correct, so they all worked hard to grow!

'Long! Long! Long!'

'Long! Long! Long!'

Cheng Miaomiao heard the vague feedback from the vegetables, and immediately held Zhang Quan's hand in high spirits, pointed at the vegetable garden and said: "The vegetables will grow better! They will grow a lot more!"

When Zhang Quan heard this, he thought the child might be a glutton.

He said: "When the vegetables are ready, I will ask my mother to send you some to try."

Such a good thing!

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded quickly as if she was afraid that he would regret it.

The two of them finished wandering around the remaining outer walls, and then returned to the yard. Over there, Cheng Erlang and Village Chief Zhang Wei had also finished talking and agreed to go and pick up the engineering team today.

Cheng Erlang picked up Miaomiao and left the village chief's house with Ye Ning.

"Dad, do we want to go home now?"

"We also need to go to Li Zheng's house. He is the old man who was standing next to the village chief yesterday."

After Cheng Erlang introduced Li Zheng's situation, they walked to Li Zheng's house. The family of three went in and presented him with a fish, and then left after saying a few words with him. They did not stay as long as they did at the village chief's house.

He had to go meet the engineering team and go to the next village to buy bricks.

Cheng Erlang and the village chief were both the type of people who worked in a hurry. They left immediately, leaving only Cheng Miaomiao and Ye Ning standing here with their eyes wide open and confused.

Cheng Miaomiao said dissatisfied: "Dad, bad!"

Don’t take her with you when you go out!

Ye Ning smiled and touched her little head and said, "Would you like to go and see our fields with my mother-in-law?"

Normally, the men in the family would do the field patrols, but now that the families are divided, they naturally have to take care of their own affairs. Erlang had to go out for something, so she had to go and check the fields today.

Hearing what she said, Cheng Miaomiao immediately forgot about going out for fun, and said excitedly that she wanted to go.

…

Although the paddy field allocated to the second room was one acre, the location was really not good.

Paddy fields are naturally convenient for storing water frequently. The acre of paddy field assigned to Cheng Miaomiao's family is located at the bottom of the whole paddy field. Whether there is water or whether it dries up depends on the family above.

The people in the fields above felt that there was too much water, so if they dug a hole in the field to let out water without warning, the water in the fields below would accumulate and drown the seedlings.

But if that person thinks there is not enough water and does not let the water flow down, then the fields below will dry up again.

In short, it is a piece of land that can easily cause conflicts between neighbors.

However, the family above the Cheng family's paddy field happened to be at odds with the Cheng family. They had quarreled many times over water issues before, but they didn't expect that this piece of land would fall into Erlang's hands.

Cheng Miaomiao was simply shocked.

When she saw the appearance of this field with her own eyes, she couldn't help but sigh and said with a depressed expression: "Auntie, there is so little food."

Cheng Miaomiao usually passes by the fields in the village when going up and down the mountain. Some people are planting rice and others are farming, but only sixty-seven out of ten of them actually have rice grains in their ears. Their family has even less, and not even half of them have it.

It’s so sad, what should I do if I don’t have enough to eat?

Ye Ning carried her to the ridge of the field and said as he walked: "The drought has been severe in the past few years. During the time when your father was planting rice seedlings, he had to pick up several buckets of water to water the fields every night. He paid attention to it every day and became what he is now.

Rice.”

Cheng Miaomiao opened her eyes wide and praised without thinking: "Dad is so awesome!"

As she said that, she looked at the family's field above, and found that its growth was similar to hers, and it looked a little droopy. It was clear at a glance that it had not been taken care of well.

Looking at my own home, it's actually pretty much the same.

Cheng Miaomiao stood up on tiptoes, reached out and grabbed a grain of rice on the ear of rice, and crushed it open with her fingers.

Sure enough, I found that only half of the white rice inside had grown out, and the remaining half was empty.
