Chapter 008: Beyond Calculation
The elderly lady, upon hearing that her grandson was using a machine with oil, fell silent.
Bian Rui said to his father: "You don't need to go; it's just plowing a piece of land, there's no need for you to take action."
Plowing an acre of land is not considered a major task; in less than an hour and a half, Bian Rui had finished plowing the field. After driving the tractor back, Bian Rui took paper and pen and returned to the house to begin measuring and sketching, initially calculating the items he needed to purchase
Wood is easy to solve; just plant trees in the space. As for glass, it cannot be grown and must be purchased externally. Besides these, in order for Bianrui to live comfortably, underfloor heating must be installed, as there is no heating here in winter. During winter, one has to endure the cold. Bianrui desires a comfortable life, so underfloor heating is essential. Moreover, underfloor heating cannot use natural gas or electricity, as electricity is too expensive here, and natural gas is not an option either. Therefore, the only solution is to use an oil boiler.
As soon as Bian Ye opened his mouth, a chorus of responses immediately arose from the table.
Hmm? Bian Rui raised his head to look at his sister
Thus, the two of them arrived in the yard and began to change the plow head on the hand-held tractor in the shed. Originally, the tractor was equipped with a tiller, which they removed and replaced with the plow head. Bian Rui opened the fuel tank, checked the fuel level, and found that there was still more than half a tank of fuel, so he screwed the cap back on.
Bian Rui's mother immediately patted her granddaughter's back and said, "Take your time, they won't leave, why are you in such a hurry?"
Upon reaching the edge of the field, he lowered the plow head and tested the plowing depth. After checking the depth of the furrow, he made a few minor adjustments before finally satisfied, he started the tractor to begin plowing the land
The children went out to have fun, while Bian Rui leisurely enjoyed a meal with his parents and grandmother, discussing matters as they ate.
"Hmm, what your mother said is indeed the truth!" Grandma also nodded, indicating her full support for the words of her granddaughter and daughter-in-law.
Bian Ye could only fall silent
Bian Rui does not want to go on a blind date. Not to mention now, according to Bian Rui's plans, he will not consider remarriage for the next two to three years. Having just escaped from the tiger's mouth, who is in a hurry to jump into the wolf's den
The house is not small, but the vegetable plot is not large, measuring about one mu in area. It is elongated along the slope, and since this is a mountainous region, there is hardly any regular land. Not to mention that it is elongated, there are even pentagonal shapes.
Shen Dongdong noticed his sister looking at him eagerly, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace in drinking the porridge
"I bought it, I went to buy it the day before yesterday, so you can rest assured. You don't need to worry about this matter. Even if there is no oil, Dairui is not foolish enough to ask others to borrow it," said Bian Shan with a smile to his mother.
Now the old yellow cat can no longer be recognized as the old yellow cat; it is more accurate to call it an old calico cat. The yellow cat now has two thick black eyebrows on its face, rosy cheeks, and as for its mouth, it is stained with a bloody red color. Its body is even more colorful, to the point that even the bystanders feel a bit of reluctance to look at it.
Mother said: "Yes, Dui Rui, your sister is right. You also need to seriously consider your personal matters. You are only 35 years old, and there are still several decades ahead of you"
Whether it is the big yellow dog or the big yellow cat, they now both present a strikingly beautiful yet tragically heart-wrenching appearance
"Alright, alright!" Bian Rui's mother gave her daughter a knowing glance
By the way, younger brother, your sister's husband has a cousin who is only twenty-eight this year. Although she hasn't studied much, she is quite beautiful and has a decent job
Bian Ye felt a bit awkward under his mother's glare and could only open his mouth.
As soon as Bian Rui heard this, he immediately felt overwhelmed and waved his hand, saying: "I really don't have the energy for this right now. Mingzhu's store is about to open, and the house here needs to be renovated. There are many things to attend to. How about we put this matter on hold and discuss it again after I sort out my current tasks?"
Dad, does it look good
Bianjia Village is characterized by a system of brotherhood, which is extremely rare in today's rural areas; this is typically an old custom from the past. In the new society, who still adheres to such a system? Each family generally manages its own affairs. In the generation of Bian Rui, there are a total of twenty-seven male cousins and sixteen female cousins, making the family quite prosperous.
After finishing the meal, Bian Rui took a short nap. When he woke up and went downstairs, he found his big yellow dog lying on the sofa in the living room with a look of utter despair, while his precious daughter was applying makeup on the big yellow dog
Standing next to Bian Xun, Xiao Bian Heng patted his little belly while saying that he had indeed eaten.
In this flurry of activity, Bian Rui found that he had already spent nearly 100,000 yuan, and this does not even account for the cost of the timber
Before she could finish her sentence, Bian Ye accidentally stepped on her husband's foot under the table. Upon realizing this, her husband understood that it was unnecessary to bring up Wang Jie at that moment. Her younger brother had just managed to cheer up after a difficult time, so why bring up such a gloomy topic
The tractor was started, and Bian Rui held the handle to drive the tractor out of the yard
"Where are you going to plow?" Bianshan asked his son
Shen Zhaoxing nodded and said: "Well, this is good. A man of great stature has no need to worry about having no wife"
Before Grandma finished speaking, Bian Jing had already finished the porridge in the small bowl, with grains of rice still clinging to the corner of his mouth, while eagerly watching his cousin Shen Dongdong, who was still eating porridge.
"Hmm, hmm!" The old lady nodded repeatedly
Great-grandmother, Tenth Grandfather, Tenth Grandmother
Originally, Bian Rui planned to return home to live, and he never expected that his ancestor had left him a property. He had about 400,000 yuan left, intending to live a few carefree years, idly waiting for death. Who would have thought that such a situation would arise, causing the money to flow out like water.
"You have been single for quite some time, brother. How old are you now? You should make the most of your time to find someone. You can't possibly spend the rest of your life alone," said Bian Ye.
The granddaughter and the grandson are now the most important matters in the heart of Banshan, while the son is to be placed further back.
Bian Rui immediately nodded in response upon seeing his daughter's smiling face, saying, "Beautiful, beautiful!"
Seeing his son nod, Bianshan tilted his head back and drank the porridge in the bowl. After putting down the bowl, he said to his mother: "Mother, take your time eating, I will lend a hand"
List everything out, and Beirui will start purchasing. For items that can be bought online, Beirui will directly buy them online. For larger items that cannot be purchased online, such as table saws, we will need to go to the hardware market to buy them.
"That works, I have woven the children's cage. I will go catch a small bug to put in it later," Bianshan said
Having quickly finished the porridge, Bian Rui put down the bowl and said to his grandmother and parents, "I have finished eating, please take your time"
Bian Ye took a puff from his toothpick and nodded insincerely, saying: "It looks good, it looks good"
"After finishing the meal, I will go and plow the field, first planting some vegetables, garlic, and the like. When I return, I will plant tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans," said Bian Rui.
As soon as he spoke, Shen Zhaoxing was once again glared at by his wife, Bian Ye, and could only awkwardly continue to focus on eating his own porridge
Bian Rui recognized the vast majority of them, so he smiled and said to the little fellow standing at the front: "Xiao Xun, don't you recognize me anymore?"
It continued until noon, when Bian Rui returned to his parents' home for lunch. By noon, the brother-in-law was no longer present, having gone home to tend to the fish pond. The sister and the nephew stayed behind to continue visiting relatives.
Bian Ye said: "Then we must find someone better than Wang Jie, just to infuriate her! My brother has looks and qualifications, how could she possibly look down on him just because he has the surname Wang? ... ... Oh, why are you kicking me!"
Recognizing Bian Rui, Xiao Liao Xun let out a sigh: "Nineteenth Uncle, how have you become so thin? I hardly dared to recognize you at first!"
At this moment, Bian Rui's mother asked, "Have you all eaten?"
At that moment, Bian Ye walked out and saw her niece's masterpiece on the faces of the cat and dog, and her face immediately began to twitch, as the little girl had used her cosmetics.
"At least you still have a conscience," said Bian Rui with a smile
The little fellow looked at Bian Rui, thought for a moment, and then asked somewhat uncertainly: "Uncle Nineteen?"
Shall I go with you? Bianshan asked his son
While I was having my meal, a group of children came into the yard, ranging in age from seven or eight years old to three or four. Once they rushed into the yard, they began to shrink back, and from time to time, one of the little ones would peek at me with wide eyes, seemingly a bit shy.
That is natural; if one is to seek, one must find someone who is honest and straightforward
It is essential to purchase tools. Although they can be borrowed in the village, these items will be frequently used in the future, so it is better to buy a complete set for one's own tool room. In addition to tools, there are also glass and wood.
Just like that, within less than a minute, the two children finished the rice in their bowls and ran out to play with a group of kids.
The group is not small; it not only includes children but also seven or eight local dogs. Children in the countryside are always inseparable from dogs, and the loyal and cautious local dogs can ensure the safety of the children to a certain extent
Upon hearing her grandson say this, the grandmother immediately nodded in agreement. The old lady certainly did not want to find another person like Wang Jie. Why would she want to disrupt a good life by getting divorced and marrying someone who is also on their second marriage? The old lady completely could not understand what kind of madness this woman was exhibiting. If this were before the liberation, the old lady would have surely thought that they would want to put her in a pig cage.
Aunt, is it beautiful?
Bian Rui held onto the handle of the tractor, following it up the slope. Along the way, he encountered the elders of the village, greeting them as he made his way to the vegetable garden located to the east of the ancestral home.
This money truly isn't money!" Bian Rui exclaimed as he looked at the two pages filled to the brim.
Upon hearing these young men and women mention going out to play, the little girl, Bian Jing, became somewhat restless, continuously slurping the porridge into her mouth.
Bian Rui cannot dare to say that he does not want to find someone now; if he did, today's meal would surely turn into a matchmaking dinner, so he can only resort to procrastination.
Upon hearing Bian Xun's words, the children all recognized Bian Rui, each one calling out "Nineteenth Uncle" in a chaotic manner, resembling a flock of little ducks.
Bian Rui smiled and said, "It's nothing, brother-in-law, it won't come to this, and I have also come to understand, let her be"
"Have you really eaten?" Bian Ye asked
Brother
Upon hearing Bian Rui's words, Grandma turned to her son and asked, "Dashan, is there any diesel left at home? If not, go ask someone to borrow a barrel."
Grandma asked, "Dai Rui, when do you plan to plant on your master's land?"
After discussing this, there was a pause in the air for a while. Bian Rui did not notice it, while Grandma was giving Mother a knowing look, and Mother was glaring at Sister Bian Ye.
Bian Rui was about to step forward to take a look and discovered that not only the big yellow dog was suffering a fate worse than death, but also the old yellow cat at home
They spoke of it as beautiful, yet could not help but turn their faces away, truly unable to endure the appearance of the large yellow dog and the large yellow cat
Forget it, when there is no money, then talk about being broke. Bian Rui is preparing to be an optimist, thinking about how to make money only after the money is spent, and not worrying about it now
"Aunt Twelve, we have really eaten already"
The face of the large yellow dog now has two thick eyebrows, and the little girl is applying red lipstick to the large yellow dog.
Bian Rui immediately felt a mix of amusement and exasperation upon hearing this, and could only respond: "It is certain that we need to find someone, but there is no need to rush. Finding the right person is a serious matter; it is not simply about bringing someone in to get by..."
"Grandma Shi, we have all eaten. I heard that our little cousin and sister have returned, let's go find them to play," said Bian Xun loudly.
The little ones paused for a moment before starting to call out in a chaotic manner
