Courtyard House: Passing through the Silly Pillar, Activating the Blessed Cave Heaven

Earlier, he planted a large area of ​​rapeseed and various vegetables in the blessed land. After the harvest, he set aside enough seeds for the following year, and used all the remaining rapeseed to press oil, producing a total of 200 catties of oil.

The newly hatched chicks in the blessed land have already started laying eggs.

The previous five hens hatched another 69 chicks last month.

Once the hens that hatched in the first half of the year also start to reproduce, there will be more eggs than we can eat.

The chicken coop has been expanded four times, from the initial brick structure to a rammed earth and straw structure.

In the summer, He Yuzhu caught crickets and grasshoppers from the grasslands of Shichahai and released them into the Dongtianfudi. He also dug up some earthworms and caught a few dung beetles, all in an effort to improve the ecosystem of Dongtianfudi.

During the second wheat harvest, he improved upon a manual harvester.

When the harvester is pushed, the axle drives the cutter to harvest the wheat stalks. The harvested stalks are automatically poured into the hopper, and then bundled and stacked after the hopper is full.

This harvester is far more efficient than the traditional sickle, and can harvest one acre of land in just one hour.

After eating and drinking his fill, He Yuzhu rushed back to Nanluoguxiang.

As soon as I entered the Intermediate People's Court, I saw that the Jia family was holding a funeral.

He didn't stop to look around, but walked straight toward his house, only to find that the east wing had been enclosed by a newly built low wall, with a narrow door in the middle that had a copper lock on it.

"Father, who in the Jia family passed away? Why has our side room been enclosed by a wall?"

"Old Jia is gone. The day before yesterday, when he was working at the factory, the machine suddenly malfunctioned, and a flying part hit his abdomen. He died before he could be taken to the hospital." As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, a heart-wrenching cry came from outside.

"Old Jia! How could you be so heartless as to abandon us, mother and son! How are Dongxu and I supposed to live now that you're gone!"

After Jia Zhangshi's crying gradually subsided, He Daqing continued, "When you came home last time, didn't you mention the side room to me? I've kept it in mind."

Ten days ago, I bought the adjacent side room from Boss Lou, and then had a wall built to separate it from our house. From now on, those two rooms belong to our family.

He Yuzhu never expected that his casual mention would lead He Daqing to arrange two more rooms for him.

This means that he will be able to inherit two more properties in the future.

He recalled the protagonists in those Tomato Novels' courtyard house fanfiction, all of whom aimed to buy the entire courtyard house. He, on the other hand, hadn't even officially started yet, but he had already acquired half of the central courtyard house. It was as if he had won at the starting line.

However, He Yuzhu always felt that He Daqing's reaction was a bit strange.

Jia Zhangshi's husband passed away, but He Daqing seemed indifferent.

According to later novels, neighbors in a courtyard house should have helped and looked after each other.

"Dad, Uncle Jia has left. Aren't you going to see if there's anything you can do to help?"

"What help do we need? Our family name is He, and their family name is Jia. We're not relatives, and we don't have any deep relationship."

Old Jia still has relatives in his hometown; it's not our place to interfere.

Besides, you know Jia Zhangshi's personality. If you help her, you might end up losing money.
