Chapter 1111
Especially Huang Zhong, the previous Huang Zhong was just dry and thin; although he was already 15 years old, he didn't look any different from an 11 or 12-year-old child.
But after eating full meals and meat for more than 10 days, Huang Zhong now looked like a different person compared to before; not only was his complexion much rosier, but the clothes on his body didn't look so baggy anymore.
Seeing that the two spoke sincerely, Wang An thought for a moment and smiled:
"Then wait until next spring and you guys come over again, at that time there will be a lot of work in our house, hehehe..."
As he spoke, Wang An handed the money in his hand to Huang Baoguo and Er Gangzi separately, and said again:
"Alright, just this little money, don't argue with me, just take it if I give it to you."
Seeing that the two were still too embarrassed to take the money, Wang An directly stuffed the money into their pockets.
"By the way, for that wheat and rice, you two take 10 jin of each before you leave in a while, and taste what the new rice and white flour taste like, hahahaha..."
It must be said that this year, the harvest of rice and wheat in Wang An's family was quite good, which could be considered a solid harvest year.
For rice, because they used the improved seeds of the old immortal Yuan, the average yield per mu was more than 700 jin; this was still because Wang An's family didn't use chemical fertilizer this year; if they used chemical fertilizer, the yield per mu breaking 1000 jin should be no problem at all.
And for wheat, the average yield per mu also reached more than 350 jin.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang An's family's wheat field was ravaged by wild boars for several mu in the spring, the yield per mu of that wheat field might have reached 400 jin, or even exceeded 400 jin.
Of course, the main reason for harvesting so much grain was that there were no insect disasters or flood disasters this year, otherwise, it would absolutely not be possible to produce so much grain.
Hearing Wang An's words, Huang Baoguo and Er Gangzi immediately wanted to refuse, but before they could speak, Wang An continued:
"Don't wait for a while, I'll go get it for you now."
As he spoke, Wang An walked toward the warehouse.
Only then did Huang Baoguo say:
"No need, Young Master Little An, this grain is so precious, we just..."
Before Huang Baoguo could finish speaking, Wang An interrupted:
"Alright, alright, don't be polite with me, I'm not giving you much, just to taste it, besides, you've been working for so long, you have to eat some of the grain you harvested yourself."
It must be said that these two people were indeed capable of working; in local words, it was "impeccable."
So Wang An gave them bonuses and grain, which could be considered a recognition of their work.
Without further ado, Wang An found two flour bags, turned his head, and said to Huang Baoguo and the other:
"Come, you two hold the bags for me."
Seeing this, Huang Baoguo said with a face full of embarrassment:
"Young Master Little An, you give money and grain, it makes us both feel..."
Er Gangzi also blocked and said:
"Yeah, or just forget about the grain."
Wang An glared, a bit impatiently:
"Be quick, don't dawdle with me."
The two looked at each other, and then opened the bag mouths.
Wang An picked up the scoop, inserted it into the grain bin filled with rice, felt that it could be about five or six jin, and put two scoops into each of their bags.
Just when Wang An was planning to find two more bags, he heard Huang Baoguo say:
"No need to find more bags, Young Master Little An, just tie a pocket rope in the middle of this bag."
As he spoke, Huang Baoguo pulled a pocket rope from the wall and tied it in the middle of the flour bag, and Er Gangzi did the same.
It must be said that this method was really quite good, because this way, one bag could hold two kinds of grain.
After the two tied the bags, Wang An gave them two scoops of wheat grains each, and only then did he let them tie the bag mouths.
Amidst their thousand thanks, Wang An sent them to the outside of the courtyard; as for Huang Zhong, he was kept by Wang An.
Keeping Huang Zhong was something Wang An had considered before, and of course, it was also the result of Huang Baoguo's request to Wang An.
Huang Baoguo's meaning was to keep Huang Zhong at Wang An's house to work, no need to pay wages, just provide meals, considered a long-term laborer.
After all, the saying "a half-grown boy eats his father to death" isn't said for nothing; at Huang Zhong's current age, he is in the period of growing his body, so he is quite capable of eating, and Huang Baoguo actually couldn't afford to raise him.
It would be no problem to raise him, but long-term malnutrition made Huang Baoguo afraid that Huang Zhong wouldn't grow up, and his body would always be this small.
In this way, not only would it delay the problem of the old Huang family's incense, but it would also be a big problem for Huang Zhong's future survival.
According to Huang Baoguo, the reason Huang Zhong grew up to be this small, much smaller than his peers, was because Huang Zhong was congenitally deficient and was a premature baby.
So Wang An hesitated for a moment, and then kept Huang Zhong.
Although keeping Huang Zhong now didn't have much use, he could help Wang An's family run errands or do odd jobs in his daily life.
The main thing was that Wang An felt this child Huang Zhong was truly not bad, because whether it was the time he went to save his sister, or the work during this period, Huang Zhong's performance was quite good.
So, this could be considered Wang An helping Huang Baoguo and pulling Huang Zhong; besides, who knows, maybe he would be able to use Huang Zhong in the future, these are all uncertain things.
Two days later in the morning, Wang An took Huang Zhong to finish practicing martial arts, and snow began to drift down from the sky.
Starting from the day before yesterday, Huang Zhong had been following Wang An to practice martial arts; the main thing was that Wang An felt that with Huang Zhong's small physique, if his nutrition kept up, plus practicing martial arts, maybe he could grow faster.
Otherwise, a 15-year-old with a height of less than 1.4 meters, do you dare to believe this?
So under Wang An's order, Huang Zhong started practicing martial arts with Wang An early every morning.
Wang An looked at the snow, and couldn't help but feel happy inside, because after the snow, he could go into the mountains to hunt.
To tell the truth, after being reborn, the thing Wang An was most willing to do was to ride a horse and lead the dogs, whistling between the mountains and forests.
Watching one prey after another being caught by the dogs, or dying under his own gun, that feeling was truly intoxicating.
However, this snow looked a bit small, and it was still a bit early to go into the mountains to hunt.
During breakfast, Wang Dazhu suddenly said to Wang An:
"Little An, if you have nothing to do in a while, come and add fuel to the ground fire dragon with me?"
After arriving in October, the temperature in Heilongjiang had completely dropped, and the temperature at night had already reached below 0 degrees, and it would soon cool down completely.
At that time, if the ground fire dragon couldn't be burned in time, it would be truly a bit cold staying in the house at night.
Wang An nodded upon hearing this:
"Then let's add it, I have nothing to do, nothing at all."
Wang Dazhu said:
"Yeah, then let's start as soon as we finish eating."
