After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Seeing this, Zhang Meng hurried up to meet him, and invited them to sit in the main room.

There was also a table in the main room, and there were old man Jiang and several respectable people sitting here.

Of course, the two scholars are also there.

Everyone bowed to each other, and the Chu patriarch looked at Li Xu several times.

It's a pity that this young child is from a foreign country, and he is unwilling to marry a wife here, otherwise, it would be most appropriate for Chu Man to marry him.

Take another look at Chen Changping.

Well, he is more reliable.

They are the elders who know the temperament of their own children best. Although Chen Changping is a widower and has several children, but he is old and calm, and he may be able to tolerate Chu Man's temper.

Besides, Chu Man is young and pretty, so he should be able to please this scholar.

Patriarch Chu thought so, and took another sneak look at Old Man Jiang.

The Jiang family's children are also good, but it's a pity that Chu Man didn't know how to cherish them and ruined the good marriage.

The old man Jiang didn't want to talk to the Chu family at all, he didn't even look at him, he only talked to the head of the Chen family, Chen Sanyou, and his wife.

The most leisurely thing today is Yingbao. After she took her younger brothers Jiang Wu and Huzi to see Chuchu's little girl, she went to the martial arts field to practice fighting skills.

Although Jiang Wu was only five years old, he was agile and strong, and Ying Bao was no match for him at all.

After being thrown several times in a row, Yingbao was discouraged, and sat aside to watch Huzi practice against his brother.

"Huzi!" Erni ran over and waved to Huzi, "Come with me!"

Huzi ignored his sister and practiced against Jiang Wu on his own.

Er Ni pulled him and said in a low voice: "Follow me to see A Niang."

Huzi struggled: "No, no, no!"

He was extremely unfamiliar with that aunt, and he didn't want to see her at all.

Erni begged: "Huzi, just go and have a look with my sister."

Huzi still refused, so he shook off his sister and ran away.

He already regards Yanru as his own mother, and Yanru's mother takes good care of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Although he vaguely remembered his previous mother, he really didn't want to see her.

Erni watched her brother run away in frustration, so she had to go to see Leng alone.

Now Mrs. Leng lives in the two thatched huts that Erni spent money to build for her, some distance from the village and not far from several farm laborers.

Many families in Dongchen Village lease their land to others for farming, so there are many farm laborers living outside the village.

These farm laborers dragged their families along and built sheds or thatched huts beside the farmland. There were about a dozen or so households here and there. Mrs. Leng lived near them, chatting and chatting with the farm laborers’ wives occasionally. The day is also stable.

Erni also plans to send some seedlings to Leng's plant next year, so that she can support herself and grow old.

Jiang Erlang also knew about this, but he didn't want to interfere with the child's filial piety. He just told his daughter not to bring Mrs. Leng home, let alone do anything that would hurt her stepmother.

Erni naturally agreed.

Yan Runiang is very kind to her siblings, and she is not an ungrateful person, so how could she hurt her.

Yingbao sparred with his younger brother for a while, then took him home.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon covered the ground with a thin layer of silver.

Yingbao didn't go to Chuchu's house for a banquet, she ordered two bowls of longxu noodles with a small charcoal stove, and two poached eggs lay on the noodle bowls, she and her younger brother ate and drank enough, and went back to their rooms to rest.

In the cave, Yingbao planted a large number of golden fungus and snow fungus, with a total of [-] plants.

These mushrooms grow very fast in the cave, and their appearance is also very good, each of them is crystal clear, not like ordinary things.

Now around the pool, except for the black soil, there are fungus racks and fungus jars, and there are big bamboo plaques.

On the luminous body, around the pupil spring, grapes, apples, peaches, lychees and tangerines are planted.

Grapes, peaches and apples were planted earlier, and they are already blooming and bearing fruit.

Litchi, tangerine, papaya, etc., are still young seedlings that have just grown.

Yingbao was worried that the fruit trees would grow too tall and not bloom, so she trimmed their branches early on to keep the height of the trees below half a foot.

The original two Jumbo apple trees have also been pruned, and they are now growing steadily, and they are beginning to bloom and bear fruit.

So picking fruits by yourself doesn't take any effort at all, you just need to step on a stool.

Yingbao picked a basket of apples, a basket of peaches and a basket of grapes and stopped.

Peach, she is going to continue making peach juice, so she will use the water from Pupil Spring, because Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu like to drink it.

Grapes are used to make wine.

Second cousin Jiang Quan had already helped her inquire about the brewing method of the fruit wine. Some time ago, she had brewed several jars of peach wine and buried them under the peach tree.

First cut off the grapes one by one and wash them. After drying the water, pour them into a clean basin and crush them.

Then add the koji and icing sugar, and slowly melt.

Afterwards the must is put into earthenware jars, covered and allowed to ferment for fifteen days.

After waiting for more than ten days, scoop out the grape skins floating on the grape pulp, and filter the grape pulp again with gauze.

Pour the grape must into a clean jar, seal it well, dig a hole and bury it in the soil.

After letting them continue to ferment for two months, the wine is ready.

After that, the longer the fermentation time, the more mellow and intense the wine taste, which is how wine is made.

Ying Bao made three jars of grape juice in one go, covered them, and waited for them to ferment.

Coming out of the cave, Yingbao felt very tired, so she hurriedly boiled water, washed and lay down.

A good night's sleep until waking up the next morning.

Ying Bao Gulu got up and gently pushed open the window sash.

I saw a vast expanse of whiteness outside the window, all covered with snow.

The snow is not thick, about touching the ankle.

But the weather was very cold, and the cold wind blew on her face, making her face tingly and uncomfortable, so Yingbao quickly closed the window.

Find out the cotton coat and trousers from the box and put them on, then listen to someone talking outside.

It turned out to be Second Aunt Wang, who came to gossip with Chun Niang early in the morning.

"Oh, Chunniang, it's amazing, our village... no, there's a big scandal in the West Village."

Second Aunt Wang couldn't contain her excitement, she said to Chun Niang: "That girl from Chu's Village is actually getting entangled with Chen Changping, tsk tsk, it's in the haystack at the entrance of the village, alas, many people have seen it..."

Chun Niang glanced at her daughter's room and said in a low voice, "Second Aunt, please keep your voice down, the children are all at home."

"Yes, yes." Second Aunt Wang lowered her voice and said, "Chen Feng is so angry, the one standing at the door is scolding, the scolding is terrible. Hehe! Chun Niang, why don't you go and see, then Chen Feng Shi almost pointed at the girl of the Chu family and called her a bitch."

"Really?" Chunniang was also curious, and pulled Second Aunt Wang out: "Go and have a look."

Yingbao was even more curious.

She was listening with all her might, but Second Aunt Wang left.

Not only did he leave, he also abducted A Niang.

Ying Bao put on her little padded shoes and ran out the door.

After thinking about it, he picked up a small broom, swept the snow off the steps, climbed up the fence of his house, and looked towards the West Village.

The snow had stopped this morning and the sky was blue and cloudless.

Many people in the village are running towards the West Village one after another, probably to watch the excitement.

Yingbao stood on tiptoe and tried to look towards the west, but she could only see a vague figure, not very clear.

But there seemed to be a woman's crying and cursing in the wind.

Ying Bao shook her head and got off the fence.

She could guess with her toes that this scandal was definitely facilitated by the Chu family.

The direct branch of the Chu family wanted a talented son-in-law, but the direct branch only had Chu Man, an unmarried girl of the right age and good looks.

Not only that, but this Chu Man is also the daughter of the village chief and the granddaughter of the head of the Chu clan.

Most importantly, Chu Man's mother was the niece of the patriarch's old wife.

But since Chu Man was notorious, the Chen family would definitely not agree to this marriage.

So the Chu family found another way and decided to cook raw rice and cooked rice.

If Chen Changping hadn't been recruited today, maybe it would be Li Xu's turn.

Alas, there are rivers and lakes everywhere in the world.
