Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 211 211 Peacock opening screen
When picking up eggs, Xiaomi deliberately dragged Serena a little farther, and didn't forget to call the elder brother over.

"What's wrong with Xiaomi?" Jiang Yu was a little confused.

"The bamboo basket is too heavy, brother, why don't you and Serena carry the basket together, I'll pick up the eggs."

Of course she couldn't say, she wanted to see if there was something wrong with Liu Ze and the second sister?
Jiang Yu never thought that Xiaomi would lie to him, so he really went to carry the bamboo basket with Jiang Wei.

Xiaomi was bouncing around in the henhouse, saying that he was picking up eggs, but he didn't do much work, but wasted a lot of time.

But if you pay attention, you can find that Xiaomi seems to be running around, but in fact, he has not been too far away from Liu Zexiaoxue.

The two of them were also carrying a bamboo basket to pick up eggs together. They didn't even need the bamboo basket, and they carried the bamboo basket to move around the chicken coop.

After all, it’s getting late and the sun is out. The sun will spoil the eggs easily, so it’s best to pick them up early.

The two were working while talking, completely oblivious to Xiaomi's existence.

Xiaomi pursed her lips in her heart, thinking, could it be that Liu Ze will really become a brother-in-law?

Do you want to beat the mandarin ducks?

It's only so young, puppy love, this is it!
But what if the bamboo horse is dismantled and the sky falls in a bad mood?

Xiaomi finished picking up the eggs while muttering, but Jiang Yu slapped her forehead, saying that she didn't care about her work and was always distracted.

Xiaomi pursed her mouth, the eldest brother is too blind to see, what's the point of being distracted, be careful that the girl was abducted.

"Xiaomi, brother Jiang Yu, if you are tired, go back first, let's go and have a look at the pond."

It was Liu Ze who spoke. He had already taken the bamboo net for catching eggs in the water, and Xiaoxue also carried the bamboo basket, which contained grass for feeding ducks and geese. Later, duck eggs and goose eggs could be placed.

"Let me go, Ozawa, your complexion has not been very good these days, you go back and rest first."

Jiang Yu was about to take what was in Liu Ze's hand, but was stopped by Xiaomi.

"Brother, let's carry the eggs over first, and we will send them out tomorrow."

Jiang Yu was completely dominated by Xiaomi, and had no time to pay attention to Liu Ze and Xiaoxue.

After finishing the chores in the old house, it's almost time for lunch.

I have to say that although there are many people and food consumption is high, the work is really fast. In less than half an hour, the work of feeding pigs, chickens and rabbits is over.

Jiang Hu also rushed back before lunch, Wei Ziang went to school late today, and both of them were taught a lesson by the master.

After having a full meal at noon, everyone's fatigue from the long journey was washed away, and their mental state also recovered a lot.

Uncle Liu took the last sip of fish soup and sighed, "Sure enough, the food here is still delicious. This time when I go back to the county town, there is a lot of food on the table, but it seems to be lacking in taste."

Almost every time he came back from the county seat, Uncle Liu would say this, and everyone got used to it.

"Uncle Liu, you are used to the porridge and side dishes at home, so you are not used to the delicacies outside."

When Jiang Hu came back, he ordered some wine specially, and had two drinks with Uncle Liu at noon.

Uncle Liu shook his head with a smile: "This is not a side dish of porridge. You can't eat these if you want to eat outside."

That is to say, the Jiang family is used to it, so it doesn't matter. If these dishes are really sent to the county, the price can be doubled several times!
Don't think that Cheng County is not big, but there are many wealthy merchants. In the eyes of those people, the Liu family's family business is not worth mentioning at all.

As long as things are good, there is no need to worry about no one buying them!

Unfortunately……

Uncle Liu suddenly thought of one thing: "By the way, Jiang Hu, have you ever considered that you might as well develop near Cheng County?"

Jiang Hu was taken aback: "What?"

Xiaomi, who was eating obediently, suddenly pricked up his ears.

What a coincidence, she only told her mother about it in the morning, and Uncle Liu actually said it so soon.

Uncle Liu cleared his throat: "This time when I went to the county, I heard a piece of news. You all know that there were wars in the past few years, and then there was a severe drought. Many places around were affected."

"Not only the villages, counties, but even the prefecture, the population has not developed in recent years."

The more people there are in a place, the greater the benefits it brings to the city. Everyone knows this truth.

Jiang Hu didn't quite understand what Uncle Liu meant: "Uncle Liu, be more careful, what does this have to do with letting us move to the county?"

Uncle Liu stroked his beard: "It's like this. There are too few people in Fuzhou, so I plan to transfer some of them from the surrounding counties."

"You all know that no matter who wants to go to another city, he needs a guide, and it is very difficult to get a guide. If you want to settle down in another place, you need a lot of troublesome procedures, and it may not be possible to do it. get."

Jiang Hu nodded honestly, no, without the court's permission, Fang would be caught as a spy from another country if he ran around.

Especially in the wars in the past few years, the Chengxian generation was almost wiped out. Although the Xuyu Dynasty regained it later, there were still some spies from other countries active.

Of course, Jiang Hu didn't think about this before, but in the past few years, Uncle Liu would occasionally say something, and Jiang Hu could hear some of it.

Xiaomi opened his mouth wide in surprise: "It's so serious, then we won't be able to go to the county?"

She poked at her mother-in-law before.

Uncle Liu laughed loudly: "Of course not, it's just a little more troublesome."

"But that's what I'm talking about today. If you have an idea, you can make preparations in advance."

Jiang Hu immediately became serious: "Uncle Liu, please explain carefully."

Uncle Liu pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about what to say.

"That's right. The news I heard is that the population of people in Fuzhou is too small. In just one or two years, some people may be drawn from the surrounding small counties."

"Being able to go to Fuzhou, many people must be willing to go there, after all, it is Fuzhou."

"At that time, the population of the surrounding counties will drop sharply, and Cheng County will definitely be no exception. In this way, people from the surrounding villages and towns will inevitably be called on to settle in the county."

Those in the village want to go to the town, those in the town want to go to the county town, and those in the county town want to go to Fuzhou.

Jiang Hu's eyes lit up: "Uncle Liu, do you mean that when the time comes, if you want to settle in the county, it will be much more convenient and there won't be so many restrictions?"

Uncle Liu nodded: "That's right, that's what I mean. You see, the children in the family are very smart. Jiang Yu can go to school in the county now, and the rest will go sooner or later."

"Instead of separating the family at that time, it's better to make a plan early. If you can move to the county seat, it will be closer to the children."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Liu glanced at Xiaoxue again: "Especially Xiaoxue and Xiaomi are growing up slowly, if they stay in this Fu'an Village all the time, if they talk about marriage in the future, it is very likely that they will fall in the surrounding villages."

"But if you go to the county town, you have more chances of meeting good people. Not to mention flying to the branches, but it's definitely much better than staying in the village all the time."

Xiaoxue's face blushed, she looked pretty good, why did she just talk about her: "Grandpa Liu, what are you talking about, I'm still young."

Uncle Liu chuckled a few times, but he didn't catch the little girl making fun of it, but continued to look at the thoughtful Jiang Hu.

"Not only Xiaoxue and Xiaomi, but also several other children, Jiang Hu, you have to know that no matter when, the more prosperous the place, the more opportunities, even if it is for the children, you have to take care of this matter Consider it."

After all, he is not Jiang Hu's elder, so he can only talk about this matter and give him an opinion. It is Jiang Hu himself who really makes the decision.

Xiaomi next to him nodded in his heart, Grandpa Liu was right.

Among other things, just going to the county seat to learn more and broaden your horizons is better than spending a lifetime in the village and growing crops for a lifetime.

They stayed in Fu'an Village, and there was no cold chain these days. The fresh vegetables and fruits in the field could only spread to Xiangma Town and surrounding villages at the farthest.

It won't work any further.

Even if the Jiang family wanted to develop more planting, there was no way to grow more vegetables and fruits.

But if you go to the county town, it will be different. The population is many times that of the town, and there are more and more rich people. The consumption of vegetables and fruits will also increase exponentially, okay?

It's just that it doesn't seem too good for her to say this, after all, she is only a child over six years old.

It is perfectly appropriate for Uncle Liu to say it now, especially under the premise that there is still this opportunity.

Sure enough, Jiang Hu listened very carefully, looking at his expression, he was very moved, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

"Uncle Liu, I'll think about this matter carefully."

Uncle Liu: "Think slowly and don't rush. By the way, if you are busy this afternoon, if you are not busy, I will just tell you about Xiaoyu's going to school."

Erniang was going to wash the dishes, but Uncle Liu stopped her and asked her to go to the study with Jiang Hu, and let Aunt Yang and Qixi clean up first.

After all, it's about Jiang Yu, and parents should know about it.

The three adults went to the study room, Jiang Yu hiccupped after eating and drinking, and then called his younger brothers and sisters to the courtyard, he was going to share gifts.

The little ones were very happy, even Xiaomi was no exception. She hadn't been to the county town yet, and wanted to see what good things the county town had.

Jiang Yu did sell things to everyone in the family, but the money he saved was limited, so he didn't buy many things.

What he bought for Xiaoxue was a very large sewing box, which was woven with bamboo strips and had beautiful patterns on it.

Open the inside, there is a lot of space, and there is a small copper mirror on the lid.

The box is divided into several small compartments, in which there are several colored thread balls, a pair of small scissors, thimbles, and embroidery needles, etc., and there are several blank spaces for embroidery threads.

"Xiaoxue, you have a mirror in your sewing box, so I didn't buy it for you. There are also two bronze mirrors here, which are for Xiaomi and Niangqin."

Jiang Yu has a box in which all his presents are stored, two identical small mirrors the size of a palm.

Jiang Yu gave Xiaomi one, and put the other one aside, and will bring it to his mother later.

"These are Xiao Wei Ziang and Daddy's headscarves."

The headscarf is a small veil that the common people wrap their hair. It is used by men, and women use a simple hairpin, or even a hairpin cut by themselves with tree branches.

Xiaoxue's sewing box is the most expensive, and it is also the most sent to Xiaoxue's heart, followed by Xiaomi and Erniang's small bronze mirrors.

Xiaomi doesn't have a special need for the mirror. Anyway, she has been used to arranging her hair in front of the basin for a few years, but this doesn't stop her from being happy at all.

"Thank you big brother, I love you so much, I really like this little mirror!" Xiaomi held the little bronze mirror and couldn't put it down.

Only the mirror surface is polished and smooth copper sheet, which can be seen from the outside, and the copper sheet is covered with wood, but some simple patterns are also carved on the handle.

Xiaoxue was the happiest, but she was more restrained than Xiaomi, and she just tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth, not to laugh too silly: "Thank you, brother."

At the same time, he held the sewing box in his arms tightly, for fear that it would fall out.

Jiang Yu has already taken a new headscarf and started to put on Jiang Wei who is eager to try.

Among these gifts, the headscarf can be said to be the cheapest, but this is also Jiang Yu's intention, and it was bought by the elder brother from the county. Jiang Wei is very happy when he thinks about it.

Just as he was talking, Liu Ze from next door also came out.

"Xiaomi Xiaoxue, Serena, come out."

As soon as Xiaomi heard it, she knew that there was another gift, so she took her second sister and went out: "Come on, come on."

Jiang Wei also wanted to go, but the hair was still in the elder brother's hands, so he could only be in a hurry, urging the elder brother to hurry up.

Liu Ze also had a small box, which was placed on the porch chair under the eaves. After opening it, he took two things out of it, and put them directly into Xiaomi's hands.

"This is pearl ointment. These two are for you and your aunt. You can give them to my aunt. Winter is coming soon, so it can be used on your face. I heard that many girls in the county use this."

While talking, he gave Xiaoxue another one.

It was a small porcelain white jar, about a little bigger than a walnut. Xiaomi opened it and sniffed it: "It smells so good."

Xiaoxue also followed her example and opened it, and she could smell a very fragrant scent without taking it close.

"Thank you, brother Ze, this smells so good." Xiaoxue smiled so much that her eyes were bent into crescents.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Wei finally came out, and Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows when he saw the pearl ointment: "Fortunately, I delivered it early, Ozawa's pearl ointment is very precious, if I delivered it late, I wouldn't be able to get it out."

Xiaoxue thought that elder brother had misunderstood: "I also like elder brother's sewing box very much, very much."

Jiang Yu waved his hand: "I just knew you liked it, so I bought it for you. I wanted to buy one for Xiaomi, but..."

"No, I don't embroider, so I don't need a sewing box." Xiaomi's head shook like a rattle.

That expression of being so scared made everyone laugh.

But soon, Liu Ze brought out a few more things. The ones Jiang Wei and Wei Ziang brought were books, one for each, and they were different, so they could read them interchangeably.

The ones I bought for Jiang Wei were sesame seeds that were available in the county, but there were very few seeds in Fu'an Village, or Xiangma Town.

In the end, Liu Ze took out what was at the bottom of the box, a letter.

"Xiaoxue, I know you like embroidery. This is what I found a few embroiderers with excellent craftsmanship in the county, and asked them to record their embroidery experience and some skills on it."

Before Xiaoxue could react, Xiaomi beside her exclaimed.

"Wow! Brother Ze, you are amazing! You can even get this kind of thing!"

Liu Ze smiled, as if he didn't care much.

"Actually, it's nothing. You can buy it for some money. If you have the opportunity to go to the county in the future, you can find a embroiderer to teach Xiaoxue. It's much better than reading a book."

For a moment, Xiaomi felt as if he saw a peacock.

The kind that opens the screen.
