The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 82 Zhang Family
Under the dense flower clouds, Lin Chunxing looked up for a while, then walked around the lake and looked around, suddenly pointed to a bunch of weeds that looked like leeks, and asked, "What is this?"

Lin Chunnong ran over, pulled out a tree and handed it to her brother.

"Slightly spicy, light fragrance," Lin Chunxing smelled it, and when he opened it to taste it, his sister grabbed his arm.

"Don't eat indiscriminately."

Lin Chunxing laughed and said, "I don't want to eat any more, I'll pick some and go home, and feed them to the two chickens at home."

After walking around the lake twice and pulling some weeds, Lin Chunxing, Lin Chunnong, and Lin Qiumo returned home.

A little boy riding on the back of an ox with two tyings on his back saw them coming from the lake and said, "Why do you always like to go there to play? My grandma said it's not good there."

Lin Chunnong often saw this little guy riding a cow to graze the cows on the grassland by the mountain in the middle of the afternoon these days, but he didn't say hello.

"It's good to be careful, but we don't go when we are alone."

I'm not worried about the fact that there are a lot of fish and shrimps in the lake being known to the children, but I'm worried that the lake is too deep and unsafe.

People in the village always say that the place is evil, and children are not allowed to play by the lake. There may be a reason for worrying that children will fall into it.

Back home, Lin Chunxing first threw the weeds pulled from the lake into the pen where there were only two hens, and then took several samples to the laboratory for analysis.

The next day, after school, Lin Chunxing continued yesterday's component analysis, and finally got a result. These kinds of weeds that grow by the Qixing Lake have anti-mosquito components.

Combining one or two types may only discourage mosquitoes and small flying insects, and three or four types of growth together will form a vacuum here.

For fruit trees to bear fruit, when they bloom, they need the help of small flying insects such as butterflies and bees to help them pollinate.

Of course, the wind can also play a role in pollination, but this has a certain probability. Maybe those apricot trees don't bear a single apricot, but they bear a few apricots every year.

But there are only a few, and the possibility of being ignored is also very high.

After listening to his brother's explanation, Lin Chunnong said, "Let's go and pull out all the weeds around Qixing Lake."

"Transplanted in the backyard, there will be no mosquitoes in our house in the future. When I am free, I can also extract some raw liquid to make some anti-mosquito potions." Lin Chunxing said, "Then make two natural beehives by the lake. If you can Attracting bees, we soon have apricot nectar to eat."

Lin Chunnong thinks that his brother's idea is very good, not only apricot honey, but also wild flowers on the side of Qixing Lake, and there will be hundreds of flower honey to eat in the future.

When several children were pushing a pile of wooden sticks to the lake, Chen Yaoguang happened to come.

Judging by his appearance, he had cleaned it up carefully, but he still couldn't hide the haggard look on his face.

"Chun Xing, what are you doing?" Chen Yaoguang asked with a smile on his face.

Lin Chunxing glanced at him, and didn't ignore him, and said, "Let's go to the lake to pick up some weeds, do you have anything to do?"

Chen Yaoguang said: "I'm here to apologize to you, thank you adults for not remembering the mistakes of villains."

Although this remark was a bit sarcastic, Lin Chunxing just smiled.

"Tell your mother, and I won't go in." Chen Yaoguang looked into the Lin's courtyard and said.

"Okay," Lin Chunxing agreed.

Chen Yaoguang turned and left, and they continued to go to the lake. Lin Chunnong asked in a low voice, "Brother, why do I feel that the village chief is not right?"

"It's right if it's not right," Lin Chunxing pushed the cart and walked towards the lake. "He made a fuss this time, and the wife's troubles are gone."

"Ah?" Lin Chunnong said, "But when I was running and playing in the village, I heard people say that the village head and his wife are doing well."

Lin Chunxing smiled and said: "How good can it be? Our mother is so lazy, she even helps our father with some work. The village head's wife, we have all been here in Yishui Village for half a year. Have you ever seen her go to the field or not?" She came out to hug firewood?"

"Sometimes it's not whether you're tired of doing that little work, but because you feel sorry for the other person and want to do it. In this marriage, if only one person pays, sooner or later there will be problems."

Lin Chunnong listened to his elder brother's expression with a deep expression, and said with a smile: "It seems that I have been married to you."

Fang Da took a few steps forward, worried: "The village chief of your village has lost his wife and the position of village chief, will he hold grudges against our family?"

Lin Chunxing is still very experienced in this point, there is no way, the individual is too good, in the past in project setting and equipment competition, many people hated him.

"Cousin, don't worry about other people's grudges. What you have to do is to make you stronger and stronger. What's the point of a little ant's grudges?"

Fang Da looked at his cousins. It was the first time he spent such a long time with his first cousins. He felt that he was not as good as the children now.

When they came to the lake, the first step of the group was to pull out the weeds that Lin Chunxing detected, which contained insect repellent ingredients.

Qixing Lake has at least two mu of land, and it is a big project. When it was dark, few people did not pay much.

Fang Xiaocao came out to ask them to eat, looked at them, and said, "Tomorrow, I will call that Zhao Si from the village and ask him to help you dig out all these."

Before Lin Jiale left home, he had already agreed with Zhao Si that when there was work in the field, he would go and help with it, and when Lin Jiale came back, he would settle the bill together.

Zhao Si is an honest man. After agreeing, whenever he saw grass growing in the field, he would go to the few acres of land behind Lin's house to hoe and then go to do his own work.

He also didn't go to the Lin's house to drink water and eat on the pretext of working in the Lin family's field.

Therefore, the whole family has a good impression of Zhao Si.

Lin Chunnong said: "Mother, we have to live on these grasses."

"Okay," Fang Xiaocao agreed, "Go home and have dinner."

But the next day, before Fang Xiaocao went to call Zhao Silai, Fang He drove his car and parked at the door of Lin's house, Lin Chunxing was just about to go out with his schoolbag on his back, when he saw Fang He, he shouted in surprise: "Uncle. Mother, uncle is here."

"Wake up and go to school? Get in the car, and I'll send you to the private school first." Fang He said.

Lin Chunxing said "no need", "I'm used to walking to class these days. There are still classmates waiting for me in the village, so let's go first uncle."

After speaking, he ran away in a flash.

"My child, run slowly." Fang He had no choice but to turn the car back.

"Brother, you came at a good time. I also said that I will cut some sweet potato seedlings and go home in the next two days." Fang Xiaocao came out and said, "Go home."

"I also remembered the sweet potato seedlings you said before, and I happened to have something to do, so I came here." Getting off a cloth bag on the car, Fang He signaled that he didn't need his sister's help, and went home together.

Sitting down in the main room, he took out a bowl of steamed cakes bought on the way to his little niece, and then Fang He started talking to his sister, "I said I would let my mother come over to keep you company for the next two days. The grandmother of Min's husband's family is sick, and she wants to see her eldest grandson get married before she dies, so the Qi family will discuss with us whether we can take care of the matter for the two children after autumn."

Fang Xiaocao frowned, "According to the false age, Min'er is only fourteen. Marrying too early is not good for children."

"After autumn, it's fifteen," Fang He said, "The main reason is that there are elders over there, and they didn't ask for immediate marriage. If we are too reserved, I'm afraid it will make them dissatisfied."

"I still think the child is too young," Fang Xiaocao said, "Brother, don't talk about anything else, just talk about having a child. The child born at that time will not be easy to stand still, even for Min'er's body. not good."

Fang He has the mentality of an ancient father. Since his daughters were four or five years old, he has never cared about anything. He is a little embarrassed to hear his sister say this.

"Isn't everyone here like this?"

Fang Xiaocao immediately said, "I'm not. When I married Nanni's father, he was already in his early twenties."

Fang He wanted to say that it wasn't because you were too powerful in the past, none of the boys in the town dared to marry.To be honest, when my younger sister told her family that the second young master of the Lin family wanted to marry her, the whole family thought she was crazy.

Later, the two of them started to walk the six rituals, and the whole family felt that the second young master Lin's eyes might not be very good.At this time, Fang He said with a smile: "Can anyone have such good luck as you?"

Fang Xiaocao: If you firmly disagree with this, there will really be some twists and turns in Min'er's marriage in the future, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law will hate her?
"What did Min'er say?" But Fang Xiaocao still wanted to fight for her niece.

Fang He said: "She and Qi Kun have met twice, and they are very good. The grandma of the Qi family is ill. When the request was made over there, Da Min wanted to agree."

That being the case, what else can Fang Xiaocao say, "Then prepare the dowry for the child first, and her father will probably be back in summer, and we will go home together then."

"You don't need to run back and forth. When you get married in Qiuli, all of your family can go."

Fang Xiaocao nodded, "Brother, sit down first, I'll go to the backyard and cut sweet potato seedlings for you."

Fang He also got up, and went to the backyard together to help, only to find in the backyard, leaning against the north wall, a large piece of neat green leaves.

"Is this a sweet potato?" Fang He squatted down on the ridge, and asked curiously, "Cut a seedling, can it really survive?"

"Yes, I've planted two acres of land in the back, and it's growing pretty well," Fang Xiaocao put down the basket, bent down and swished two handfuls.

Fang He looked at it for a while, and said, "I know how to cut it, I'll do it."

After cutting the two large baskets of sweet potato seedlings, Fang He found out that there was an extra piece of grass in the backyard, and there was a blacksmithing stove. When he asked if it was made for Fang Da, he immediately became overjoyed.

Wanting to find his son, he searched around, only to see a few children by the lake outside the yard, Fang He went straight over.

Then they caught the strong men for the children and helped them poke the grass. They didn't get away until the middle of the afternoon.

In the yard, Fang He washed his face, wiped it casually, brought a basin of clean water to the donkey outside, watched it drink, and shouted to the yard: "Little sister, I won't eat, I will take advantage of the good morning." Hurry up and go back."

Hearing the sound, Fang Xiaocao came out of the kitchen, holding three or four buns wrapped in steamed cloth, and handed them to Fang He, "Brother, you eat on the way."

Fang He was not polite, before getting into the car, he said to his son who followed him to the door to see him off: "Dazi, don't just play around at your aunt's house, help your aunt do some work."

Fang Da said: "Understood." The steps under his feet unconsciously took two steps forward. He hasn't been away from home for such a long time, and he feels a little homesick.

Lin Chunnong saw that his cousin wanted to go back with his uncle, so he said, "Cousin, go back with uncle first, and come back in a few days."

Fang Da shook his head: "I still have to help my aunt look after the house."

"Then I want to play with the toy carriage that my cousin mentioned earlier."

Fang Da looked at his little cousin and asked, "Do you really want to play?"

Lin Chunnong hummed hard.

"Okay," Fang Da said, "I'll go back for a day and visit my mother, grandma and sisters by the way. When I come back, I'll bring you a toy carriage and delicious steamed vegetables."

Speaking of steamed vegetables, Fang Xiaocao remembered the basket of wild onions and garlic she dug up on the side of the mountain yesterday, and hurriedly turned to the kitchen, poured out half of the basket and brought it out, and handed it to Fang Da.

"Take it back for your grandma to fry and steam vegetables to eat."

Scallion oil boiled with wild onions tastes best when seasoning wild vegetables.

The small wild onions that grow in the mountains and fields in the new spring are not only loved by ordinary farmers, but also by some people from wealthy families.

In the Fucheng, Zhang Mansion, Mr. Zhang looked at the half-basket of wild onions that his servants gathered from a pile of rockery in his backyard, frowning, looking dissatisfied.

Zhang Chunzhi has been living with the old man for a while, and when he came back from Yixian last time, he told his mother about his idea of ​​retiring, and after he firmly stated that he would resign, Zhang Chunzhi never got a good look from his mother.

Even every time his mother saw him, she would say a few words, "I shouldn't have engaged you and Huihao in the first place."

Every time Zhang Chunzhi wanted to ask his old mother, if he didn't get engaged to Miss Liu, could it be with his elder brother, who had a childhood sweetheart.

As for their mistress, she is still a brat who doesn't understand anything.

In order not to hurt his ears, Zhang Chunzhi moved here with his grandfather.

The Zhang family is very big, and there is a mile between the place where the old man lives and the place where Mrs. Zhang lives. Besides, Mrs. Zhang doesn't come here casually except to say hello to the old lady and the old man.

Therefore, Zhang Chunzhi's staying here with his grandfather was like hiding in a paradise. There was no wind blowing, and it was also a period of rest, which made him calm down after meeting Miss Liu that day.

"Grandpa, what's the matter, are you still not satisfied with such a good wild onion?" Zhang Chunzhi leaned over and joked with the old man.

Mr. Zhang shook his head, "After all, they are domesticated. They are different from the wild onions that grow in real mountains and forests. The taste is too delicate."

Zhang Chunzhi smiled and said, "You always talk too much."

"It's the same as the pepper you got last time, that's fine." Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said.

Zhang Chunzhi's heart moved, and he said, "That's good, I'll go to Yi County to get some for you. The place where Second Master Lin lives is next to the mountain, and I'll dig some real wild onions for you by the way. How about it?"

"Okay." The old man agreed very simply, "It's better to have some more of those tomatoes, they taste good to me."

"Grandpa, what are you thinking? That thing was made in Xia Tian, ​​and it doesn't exist now."

"Oh, forget it." Mr. Zhang said regretfully, "I always feel that my mouth has no taste these days."

Zhang Chunzhi knew the reason for the old man's poor appetite, wasn't it because of those things in the court hall that affected his appetite?
Then he persuaded: "You are not in court anymore, so don't take those things to heart. Willingness and incompetence will have no effect, it will only affect your old arms and legs."

Old Master Zhang sighed, "The building is about to collapse, I'm just worried that I will meet the late Emperor without words in the future."

Zhang Chunzhi listened to the old man's emotions for a long time, but he couldn't understand his grandfather's gratitude to the late emperor for his kindness.

Because it was relatively late, Zhang Chunzhi asked the family to pack up and prepare to go to Yicheng the next day.
