The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 112 Finding Water
Looking out casually, Fang Xiaocao immediately put down the clothes in her hands in surprise, and walked out quickly.

"Mother," Lin Chunnong ran when he saw his mother from a distance, and then threw himself into his mother's arms on the small road in front of the house.

Looking at her daughter's face, Fang Xiaocao asked with a smile: "It's the first time to travel alone, how do you feel?"

For Lin Chunnong, this month's experience was like an adventure, and she gained a lot of knowledge. On the way home, she talked with her brother and Qiu Mo all the way.

At this time, when my mother asked, she still had a lot to say, "It's fun. When I grow up, I want to go shopping with my father."

The ancient merchants were the travel experts, and other groups of people often never left the place where they grew up.

"Wild girl," Lin Jiale walked up to Fang Xiaocao and asked, "Is everything settled?"

Lin Jiale nodded: "It's settled, the Lin family, the elder brother will make arrangements before leaving, we don't have to worry about it in the future."

That's good, the ancients attached great importance to filial piety, and unfilial piety was included in the criminal law. Fortunately, the children and their uncles were reasonable, otherwise old man Lin and Mrs. Lin would really be a big trouble.

"Go home," Fang Xiaocao put down her daughter, reached out to touch her son's head, and then patted Lin Qiumo's shoulder.

When the family was about to enter the house, a man walked from the mountain pass, dressed in rags, with a bundle of firewood on his shoulders.Lin Chunnong looked familiar, but he had already been led home by his mother, and then he greeted Fourth Aunt Chen, looked at her baby, asked Xianghe, and forgot about the person he saw just now.

Zhao Yingmei smiled and said, "Xianghe girl, I often run up the mountain during this time, if I know you're back, I don't know how happy I am."

The Lin family reunited after a long absence, Zhao Yingmei didn't stay long, and left after a few words.

Lin Chunnong was brought into the house by his mother to change clothes. Fang Xiaocao said while looking for clothes: "This month, the concubine has made several dresses. Let's see which one you like."

Emerald green, bright red, lake blue, each color of the clothes is very beautiful, Lin Chunnong looked at each one, chose a lake blue one, and said: "Mother, there are girls who specialize in making clothes in that Chunfeng Building, but It's nothing compared to what you've done."

She thinks that if her mother wants to make a lot of money in the future, she can take the route of brothels. In fact, in a certain way, ancient brothels are somewhat similar to modern entertainment circles.

This Great Xia seems to have many real gentlemen cultivated by Confucianism, but in terms of "human desire", it does not emphasize "destroying human desire" like the Ming Dynasty literati in the history of Huaguo.In the brothel for nearly a month, Lin Chunnong knew many things, for example, many women's fashionable dresses are from the brothel.

Fang Xiaocao had never been in contact with people in this industry, so she didn't know much about it, so she asked her daughter why.

Lin Chunnong told her what Yueniang had told her about the distracting bun and the slender one-step skirt, which are the highly praised attires of brothel courtesans.

Fang Xiaocao heard it funny, helped her daughter get dressed, and said: "It seems that you have been suffocated for the past few years. When this period of injustice is over, ask your father to find some guides, and we will go on a journey. travel."

"Okay," Lin Chunnong cheered happily.

People who have never seen the scenery outside will never know the charm of tourism for those who have seen the scenery outside.

"By the way, mother, the kid who just passed by our house," Lin Chunnong asked while wearing shoes, "I look familiar. Is he the second son of Chen Erfa's family at the entrance of the village?"

Fang Xiaocao sighed, "That's right. Sometimes the reincarnation in this world is so fast that people can't react. I heard from your fourth aunt that before Chen Erfa passed away, the Zhou family was planning to buy her second son a child bride. Now His son, in everyone's situation, is similar to a child's bride-in-law."

Lin Chunnong asked curiously, "Didn't his grandma love him very much?"

"An old lady still has a few years to live. She loves her grandson so she won't blindly protect him." Fang Xiaocao shook her head, "Go, go to the kitchen, mother will fry pumpkin pie for you."

Lin Chunnong didn't give his mother any face, "I want to eat what my father made."

In the kitchen, Lin Jiale had already boiled the pot. Lin Qiumo was squatting at the door to choose vegetables. Lin Chunnong came over and called to her: "Ninny, come and help."

Lin Chunnong squatted down, saw the handful of leeks he had chosen, and asked, "Do you want to make leek dumplings?"

"Uncle said he went home, and the family will have a meal of dumplings." Lin Qiumo said.

Cangya was squatting not far away, and when Lin Chunnong came, it quickly ran over.

"At the end of Qiu, do you have something on your mind?" Lin Chunnong looked at his face and asked.

"I thought you only had fun with Mr. Zhang during this time." Lin Qiumo smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have time to pay attention to me."

Lin Chunnong snorted coldly. On the way, his brother had satirized her for a long time, saying that she was oblivious to sex or something.

But she really doesn't mean that to Brother Zhang now, no, she didn't mean that before, she just thinks that beautiful boys like to look more.

Everyone has a lustful heart.

"You brat," Lin Chunnong raised his hand and tapped Lin Qiumo's forehead, "You're also laughing at me?"

Lin Qiumo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and the little girl showed her elders again. After a while, he said, "Ninny, if I leave, will you miss me?"

"Where do you want to go?" Lin Chunnong was immediately alert.

For some reason, from the very beginning when she brought this child to her home, she felt that he was not someone who would stay in Lin's house forever.

Lin Qiumo said: "I don't know, I just want to go out and have a look temporarily.

Seeing that the little girl was still looking at him, Lin Qiumo said again: "If I really want to go out, I will tell you."

Lin Chunnong sighed in his heart, perhaps he was still thinking about his mother's revenge, thought for a while and said: "If you must leave, you must tell in advance that I will prepare some useful things for you."

Lin Qiumo nodded with a smile.

"But you are still young, I suggest you wait a few years before going out to do anything."

Lin Qiumo raised his hand and touched the little girl's head, "Actually, you haven't experienced it outside. I don't know that many people have to bear the pressure of supporting a family when they are seven or eight years old. I am eight years old now, a half-grown child gone."

Lin Chunnong opened his hand, and his eyes widened.

Lin Qiumo couldn't help laughing again.

Lin Chunxing came out of the kitchen and asked, "How are the leeks? I have fried the eggs."

"Okay," Lin Chunnong agreed, grabbing the leeks and ran to the kitchen.

This day, the Lin family had an early dinner. Three stir-fried vegetables and two large plates of dumplings, the family of five ate cleanly. After the meal, Lin Jiale had a good appetite and made a bowl of lotus root noodles.

Afterwards, the family gathered around the clean table and drank tea again. The dusk gradually came up, and the wind blowing around dissipated the heat of the afternoon, but the dry atmosphere remained the same.

Canine Ya was lying not far behind Lin Chunnong, tilting his head to look at the masters from time to time, as if he could understand human speech.

If you ignore the drought, this scene is indeed a rare leisure time for the farm.

Lin Jiale asked her daughter: "Ninny, have you had other dreams these days?"

Ever since Lin Chunnong raised two little scorpions, he never dreamed of not being able to find water to drink and then waking up thirsty.

She knew that her father asked this question because she wanted to ask about the weather in the past few days, so she shook her head and said, "I have slept well these few days, and I haven't had a single dream."

Lin Chunxing faced the outside, saw someone approaching, and reminded: "Father, the village chief and the others are here."

After speaking, he stood up, and Lin Jiale also stood up, and greeted Chen Jinming and his party with a smile.

Fang Xiaocao cleaned up the main room where the couple lived, brought out two plates of snacks, and invited these people from the village to come in for a discussion.

Then she took the three children to the daughter's room next door.

Lin Chunnong has never lived in this room officially, only her grandma lived in it for a few days when she came to Lin's house, but her mother often cleaned it up, so there was no musty smell at all.

Lin Chunnong was sitting on her big bed, which was custom-made by her father when she went to the house of Carpenter Liu, the best handicraft in Yuetan Town, with a width of 1.8 meters by [-] meters.

Although it is not as luxurious as the babu bed, it is still very luxurious compared to the simple wooden bed.

"Ah," Lin Chunnong lay down, rolled from side to side, smelling the quilt that still smelled of sunshine, she shouted, "I want to sleep alone, I want to sleep alone."

Fang Xiaocao came over with a book and said with a smile, "Why are you crazy?" Then she handed the book to Lin Chunxing, "This is your classmate from Yuetan Town a few days ago. It was sent here. It is said that my husband asked me to buy it. It is said that the academic and political officer of our Gyeongju Prefecture has already ordered it. This collection of essays is made by him. I will go to Lin County for inspections in April and May next spring. Your husband said that he has a good foundation All ready."

Lin Chunxing has already taken the book and flipped through a few pages. When he was still in the Lin family, he had already referred to the two county and government examinations before the Tongsheng Examination, and then took the college examination. If he passed, he would be a scholar.

But in the current situation, Lin Chunxing didn't want to take the exam anymore. It's better for him to continue researching this kind of scholar. Even if he only produces the elastic thread in the fabric, it's better than taking the exam for the fame of the dying dynasty.

He said his thoughts, Fang Xiaocao said: "At least one should be a scholar before stopping, no matter how chaotic this world is, a scholar and a scholar are still valuable."

To put it in an alarmist way, if there is chaos in the world in the near future and a large army comes here, any general who is not stupid and has some ambitions will respect scholars.

The old mother had a request, and Lin Chunxing, who had never been rebellious before, agreed after thinking about it.

Just take the exam, I have been studying for so many years anyway.

Lin Chunxing didn't want to read alone, so he pulled his sister up and taught her to read together.

Here, Chen Jinming and several representatives of Zheng, Liu, and Chen have already discussed with Lin Jiale the measures to enter the mountain tomorrow. When they went out, they heard the untidy sound of reading next door, and the group felt a little envious. .

With young children at home, this day is full of expectations.Water must be found, and you cannot go through the experience of leaving your hometown.

The next day, before dawn, Lin Jiale sat up and put on his clothes. Fang Xiaocao said, "After so many days of running around, I can't even take a day off."

Lin Jiale smiled and said: "Not tired, you continue to sleep."

Fang Xiaocao didn't sleep anymore, got up and helped him find new clothes, and said, "The leftover cashmere is still piling up in the weaving room, and we have to deal with it when we have time. The mice here are big It can also make holes, and I’m afraid it will be bitten if I leave it for a while.”

"Don't worry, I'll tidy up in two days. The world is going to be chaotic. Think back to the history, which time can the years of turmoil at the end of the dynasty be shortened?" Lin Jiale said while tidying up his collar: "I don't plan to Let's start a small business to make ends meet, let's see if we can usher in a peaceful and prosperous world in this lifetime."

Fang Xiaocao said: "You are right, the court is chaotic, and this climate is still fun."

"Anyway, this incident makes me think that the ancients are not talking nonsense about the unity of man and nature. You said that if the Fuyang River section is not resolved, it will directly wash down so many innocent people and divert all the way to the mouth of the sea?"

In other words, the water seems to be insufficient, and people are becoming thirsty. Lin Jiale poured a cup of overnight tea, took a sip and moisturized his lips, "This year's rain is similar to last year, but now the Chishui River is diverted, and the groundwater supply is insufficient. That's what caused the drought."

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, "It's getting worse. I don't know what the drought will be like. I just hope that the rain will be more frequent this year."

At the same time, in the Forbidden City, the capital of a country thousands of miles away, Zhang Bian, who has become emperor for less than a month, has not been able to sleep well for several days, especially last night, he did not even have time to accompany the beauty.

On the case table in front of him, there were all the notebooks from eight provincial governments in the north and south of Chishui River. The five provinces north of Chishui River suffered from constant floods and devastated people, and two provinces were hit by victims of the disaster.

And just south of the Chishui River, there are signs of drought in three provincial capitals.

All of a sudden, so many provinces are in an emergency, how should he deal with it?

What's more, there is still a saying in the capital that he will anger the ancestors of the royal family only if he is not worthy of the throne. This is to warn against disasters.

Yulinwei was investigating the source of this statement, but Zhang Bian knew it, and it must be the daughter of the eldest princess who thought she was smart was acting as a demon again.

Opening a secret document from Qingzhou Prefecture, Zhang Bian's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, don't force him anymore, otherwise he will do a thorough job of killing donkeys.

The wind and clouds in the imperial palace have nothing to do with ordinary people. At this time, Lin Jiale and his party have already walked to the large mountain range in the northeast, and the morning light is shining from the leaves. The time has not yet arrived, and the air has brought Feeling a little dry.
