There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

In order to ensure the survival rate of corn and watermelon, Yimeng added some space spring water to the water for these seeds.

As a result, within half a month, the seedlings of the two kinds of seeds grew to a height of nearly one foot.

Yimeng doesn't know whether this growth rate is fast or slow, but what is certain is that the survival rate is very high, and it can reach [-]% for a few households.

And the ground cornmeal has already been tasted by the family.

At first, everyone was quite nervous about whether they would be poisoned or not, but after drinking it, after two days of observation, and finally the two doctors confirmed that it was not poisonous, everyone had great expectations for the crop of corn.

Especially the children in the family, they all like the yellow and sweet corn paste very much.

Qi Manman ran to the corn-planted house three times in the morning, at noon and in the evening, and each time he had to look at it for a long time before being dragged away reluctantly by his grandmother.

In a blink of an eye, it's autumn.

The vegetables and crops in the garden and in the back part of the wasteland are ripening one after another.

According to the experience of the old people in the village, this small-scale Yongping Village has started its first autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, everyone only rested for one day, and then they started busy storing firewood for the winter.

Not only should it be stored for the houses in the village, but also for the secondary courtyards in the city.

Several other families divided the firewood they cut every day into two parts.

The not-so-good part was kept for his own use, while the neater firewood was sent to Qi's family.

The Qi family received a bundle of firewood for three Wen, and gave cash.

When the amount is enough, it will be sent to the city in a carriage.

Fast forward to October.

The first snow of this winter has fallen.

But not too big, just barely covered the ground with a layer of white and then stopped.

The snow on the ground will melt when the sun is at its highest at noon, but when night falls, the melted snow will cover the ground with a thin layer of ice.

On this day, Qi Manman and his brothers had just finished their morning class, and before they got to grandma's room, they saw a man riding a horse to the gate of their house.

"Grandpa, grandpa, someone is coming!"

Qi Manman ran backwards with his short legs, yelling as he ran, and soon called all the Qi family in the backyard to the front yard.

"Old man, well!"

The man on horseback got off his horse and didn't rush in. He just stood at the gate and saluted Qi Zheng.

When he came to the front, Qi Zheng recognized who the other party was.

"So it's Mrs. Liu! Come in, please come in!"

When Qi Zheng saw that it was Liu Qinghe who came, he was really taken aback.

This person is a government servant, and he doesn't know why he suddenly came to their house.

Having received the invitation from the master's house, Liu Qinghe entered the gate and asked at the same time: "Old man, do you know if Brother Quan Jin is at home?"

"He went up the mountain to cut firewood, and he reckons he'll be back later."

Qi Zheng quickly answered.

Liu Qinghe was obviously taken aback, and blurted out: "Brother Quan Jin is not the village chief of your village? Why did you go up the mountain to cut firewood?"

"Hey, the village chief is a human being! It's already winter, so gather more firewood to save the children from the cold."

Qi Zheng explained with a smile, but his nervousness could still be seen.

Even if this yamen servant and his son are brothers, they are still members of the government.

Liu Qinghe understood, and was about to speak, when he heard a milky voice asking: "Master, are you here to give my family a gift?"

"Man Baoer!"

Qi Zheng was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled his little granddaughter behind him.

Liu Qinghe was taken aback, and then he noticed that chubby little girl.

It was so small that I didn't notice it at first glance.

"Hahaha! Man Bao'er, do you still remember Uncle? Uncle followed you to see this land at the beginning."

As Liu Qinghe said, he bent down and looked at Qi Manman with a smile.

Although Qi Manman was dragged behind by his grandfather, he still stuck his head out, blinked his big eyes and nodded: "Remember! Uncle is a good man!"

"Hahaha, this kid can really talk!"

Liu Qinghe was amused and laughed out loud.

Qi Zheng was really happy to see that Liu Qinghe wasn't lying, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "These children in my family don't lie, they all tell the truth. Your lord is really a good person, otherwise our family wouldn't be able to choose such a good person." ground."

Whether this land is really good or not was only judged by the color of the land before.

But after this year of cultivation, even if it is the first year of cultivation in the wasteland, the harvest is very good.

Therefore, Qi Zheng said these words sincerely.

Liu Qinghe waved his hand: "They are all farm households, and they rely on the harvest in the field all year round to live. I am also responsible for this. It is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"My lord, it's cold outside, let's go inside and have some hot tea!"

Qi Zheng made a gesture of invitation, and then said to Qi Shiro: "Shiro, take your lord's horse to the backyard to feed some fodder."

Qi Shiro hurried forward.

The children in the family, no matter how big or small, were very familiar with horses, so they were not afraid, took the reins from Liu Qinghe's hand, and walked towards the backyard.

The other men followed suit.

They went to give off the adults' horses, and at the same time they could have a look at their own horses, chickens, ducks, and two pigs in the pigsty.

Those two pigs were caught a while ago, they were not too big, and they hummed all day long, especially when they were eating.

They all especially enjoyed watching the pigs eat.

Qi Manman didn't follow, but took Qi Zheng's hand and walked towards the main room.

As soon as you enter the main room, you can feel a rush of heat.

Although it wasn't as cold as winter outside, Liu Qinghe's body was completely frozen after riding on horseback for so long.

Qu Laidi came in with hot tea.

After Liu Qinghe drank the hot tea, he felt warm inside and outside his body.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Qi Zheng who was sitting on the side: "Old man, I should have told Brother Quan Jin about this, but I'm still waiting to go back and report, so I'll trouble you to convey it for me!"

"Yes, please tell me!"

Qi Zheng said that he was about to stand up.

Liu Qinghe waved his hand: "Don't get up, this is a good thing, don't be nervous."

Seeing that Qi Zheng was still very nervous, Liu Qinghe didn't hesitate, and directly stated the purpose of his visit this time.

The Qi family has been rewarded by the imperial court!

Because the method against the locust plague was effective, Longxin was overjoyed, and personally issued an order to reward Yongping Village.

The decree-delivering team was expected to arrive in the city in three days, and the county magistrate immediately asked Liu Qinghe to deliver the letter after hearing the news.

One is to give the Qi family time to prepare in advance, and the other is to take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with the Qi family.

The county magistrate originally wanted to come here to pass on the message in person, but he, the county magistrate, also had a reward, so he had to make preparations in advance.

That's why Liu Qinghe was arranged.

The reason why it was Liu Qinghe and not someone else was because Liu Qinghe and Quan Quanjin had a closer relationship.

After all, it was still an arrangement to win over the Qi family.
