Man Bao said: "Let me come!"

Bai Erlang threw the leaf away in disgust, moved his butt to the side, and said unhappily: "You can do it if you want."

Man Bao reached out to pick up the leaves, and the frightened tadpoles in the water instantly dispersed and hid.

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang:......

Both of them glared at Man Bao, blaming her, "Look, you can't catch her, right?"

"It's not here, it's somewhere else!" Man Bao has a kind of attitude of going to the mountain if it doesn't come, picking up the leaves and getting up from the ground.

Yang Heshu took a look and asked: "The black ones are small fishes? Can they be eaten?"

The sudden sound startled the three children. When they looked up, they found that Mr. Bai, Li Zheng, and the village chief were all following Yang Heshu, looking down at them together.

Well, there were also a few officials behind them that Man Bao and the others had seen but were not familiar with.

Adults do not allow them to go near the water, let alone play in the water.

The three of them felt guilty and immediately threw the things in their hands and stood up. Well, Bai Shanbao also threw the barrel in his hands into the ditch.

Everyone:......

Seeing the barrel floating in the ditch and about to float away, Bai Shanbao couldn't help shouting, "Daji, fish it up quickly."

Daji, who had been staying quietly aside, reached out and picked up a stick and moved the barrel over. The three children breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it.

Seeing the three of them standing up and correcting their fingers with guilty conscience, Yang Heshu asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Mr. Bai glared at them and then coughed slightly and said: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you salute quickly when you see the adults?"

The three of them saluted quickly.

Yang Heshu smiled and said: "We haven't seen each other for a while, why are the three little friends so reserved? Master Bai, I will just talk to them, don't restrain them too much."

Of course Mr. Bai could only agree.

Yang Heshu didn't like being surrounded by too many people, mainly because Bai Shanbao and the others didn't like talking much when they were around, so they asked everyone to disperse.

Accompanying the county magistrate to the mountains and countryside, the officials who received such an order for the first time said:...

Although they didn't want to leave the county magistrate behind, and they didn't know what to do, the county magistrate gave the order, so everyone could only disperse and talk far away.

Master Zhang was very familiar with Mr. Bai. He glanced across the ditch and smiled with Mr. Bai: "I didn't expect that Mr. Bai's son and the county magistrate would become friends. Our new county magistrate comes from a well-known family."

, Your young master will have a great future in the future."

Mr. Bai said a few words modestly, how could he not know what his own child was like?

Yang Heshu stood by the ditch and talked to them, "You want to catch this fish and eat it?"

Bai Shanbao glanced at Manbao proudly and said, "Look, Master Yang also said it was a fish, right?"

Bai Erlang: "That's right, that's right."

Man Bao hummed: "If you don't believe it, let's raise it and see."

"Just raise them." Bai Shanbao and Yang Heshu said: "She said these are not fish, but frogs. We need to catch a few to raise them to see if they are fish or frogs."

Yang Heshu said "Hey", lowered his head to look at the tadpoles that popped up in the water again, searched in his mind and said: "There seem to be a lot of such things in the water, but I don't remember what kind of big fish they look like. Could it be that

It can’t grow?”

Yang Heshu knew that some fish would not grow big.

Man Bao understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and he didn't believe it was a frog.

Yang Heshu smiled and said: "You can raise them and see if you can grow them. By the way, I see that most of you here are plowing the fields. Why, have you finished planting the beans?"

"We finished planting yesterday," Man Bao said, "We have three cows, and we hired a lot of people, so we went very quickly."

Yang Heshu pointed to some women and asked, "Then what are they doing?"

"I'm planting melons," Man Bao said, "Baizhuangtou said that we need to plant some vegetables for the long-term workers to eat. Occasionally, we have to hire part-time workers to cook, so we have to plant pumpkins, pumpkins, winter melons, and all kinds of melons."

Yang Heshu praised it, "You have thought a lot about it. By the way, Manbao, how is your cow doing? Is it useful?"

Man Bao nodded affirmatively, "It's easy to use!"

Yang Heshu then asked how her family's farming speed compared with previous years. His understanding of farming only came from some descriptions in books and some understanding before taking office.

So he urgently needs some data for comparison.

The county government can also give him these data, but it is always a bit incomplete. People who ask for it in person are wary of asking for cattle on credit, so I'd better ask Manbao.

Man Bao really knew that, mainly because Lao Zhoutou was very concerned about their small farm. He would ask some questions after dinner every day, and after asking, he would talk about things at home. Man Bao would naturally remember them after listening.

Living.

"This year my family plans to cultivate the fields in Xiaoling intensively. As long as there is no drought or flooding, that field can harvest a lot of food. There is a sour wild fruit in Xiaoling that can be eaten after the Qingming Festival, Mr. Yang

, when the time comes, you come and I’ll treat you to something.”

Bai Erlang immediately picked up, "I know, it's called sour fruit. I like to eat red the most."

Bai Shanbao said: "The black one is more delicious."

Man Bao also nodded, "The black one is sweeter, while the red one is sour."

The topic of the three children gradually deviated and turned to the wild fruits all over the mountains and plains.

Yang Heshu heard this interestingly and asked, "Are there many wild fruits here?"

Bai Shanbao: "There's quite a lot, but it's just not delicious."

Man Bao: “So I still have to grow it myself.”

"You still plant fruit trees?"

Man Bao pointed to her fourth brother's mountain path: "Here, we just planted it some time ago. We will be able to eat the fruit in two or three years."

Bai Erlang himself disliked it, "It's too long, so I asked my father to buy a big fruit tree directly. If we plant it, we will have fruits to eat in the fall."

Bai Shanbao despised his ignorance, "Such a big fruit tree is not easy to survive. How about raising it from a young age? If you want to eat fruit, buy it yourself first."

"And large fruit trees are so expensive."

Yang Heshu sat aside and listened to their conversation, occasionally asking a few questions to guide the topic. It didn't take long for him to figure out the situation on their farm.

The last time he came here, he didn't pay much attention to this small farm. This time he came again and discovered that this more than 100 acres of land actually has so many uses.

There is even a piece of land at the foot of the barren mountain dedicated to raising chickens.

Yang Heshu couldn't help but ask, "You have to grow so many things and raise so many things. Are only three long-term workers enough?"

"It's not enough," Bai Shanbao said, "So I told my grandmother that I will hire someone after this period of work is completed."

Man Bao, who had the wisdom of Lao Zhoutou, heard this and said: "In fact, it would be good to give the long-term workers wives. My father said that if there are not enough people, just marry wives."

Yang Heshu:......

Bai Shanbao thought about it seriously and said, "But no one seems willing to marry them."
