The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 312

After talking about the current situation of Zhuang Jing's family, Lu Yanjin went on to detail some things about him and Yan Xiu, and also told them some gossip and interesting things about the capital. Tang Mian and the others listened with great interest.

Lu Yanjin stayed at home for five days and hurried to the capital early on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Li and Tang Mian loaded several large bags and hung them on the horses. If there wasn't enough space on the horses, they would have packed twice as much stuff.

"Yan Jin, please be careful on the road."

The family waved goodbye to Lu Yanjin, and did not return to the house until Lu Yanjin was no longer visible.

As soon as the first lunar month passed, Tang Mian focused all his attention on the research of rice seeds.

Dayu State does not have the experimental tools mentioned in the book, so it can only rely on repeated experiments and constant exploration by manpower.

Five years later, Tang Mian was nearly fifty.

Several years of hard work have finally paid off. Now she has successfully tested a new grain seed with a yield of more than 700 kilograms per mu.

Where the climate is good and the soil is good, the yield can reach 800 kilograms per mu.

"Mian Niang, how many times have I told you, take a break, take a break, why are you working so hard at your age?"

Mrs. Li looked at Tang Mian, who came back from the fields and was covered in mud, and spoke anxiously.

Tang Mian smiled, quickly stepped forward to support her and comforted her: "Mom, I listen to you. I have been taking a good rest at home recently."

There’s nothing left to live for anyway.

Mrs. Li glared at her and said, "It's best to rest."

The old man left last year, and now she and Mian Niang are the two women at home, plus a mother-in-law who takes care of them.

The two brothers Yan Jin wanted to take her and Mian Niang to the capital, but Mian Niang couldn't let go of the farm, and she couldn't let go of the family.

She is already in her sixties and doesn't have much to live for. She has fallen back to her roots and doesn't want to go to the capital.

"Really rest, really rest, I promise." Tang Mian nodded repeatedly, almost raising his hands and swearing to the sky.

In the past five years, the elderly in the village have passed away one after another, and there are not many elders left.

Tang Mian usually tries his best to comply with Li's wishes, hoping that she can live a happier life.

"Mian Niang, hasn't Yan Jin's letter arrived yet?" Mrs. Li, with Tang Mian's support, walked to the chair in the main room and sat down, frowning and asking.

Tang Mian pondered for a moment and said, "It should be here soon. Yan Jin and Yan Xiu said they would write a letter back every month and they would not break their promise."

"Okay, I'll wait for another two days. If you haven't received the letter yet, you can go to the county office and ask." She was just worried about whether something happened to her two grandchildren.

Tang Mian nodded, "Okay."

The letters between the two arrived the next day.

"Quick, quick, open it and take a look. What has been written this time?"

Li looked at the letter in Tang Mian's hand and spoke excitedly.

"Ah."

Tang Mian responded softly, opened the letter and read it, a bright smile appeared on his face after a moment.

"Mian Niang, what's the happy event?"

Tang Mian nodded and said happily: "Yan Jin said in the letter that they will go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Really?" Mrs. Li stood up quickly and looked at Tang Mian with joy on her face, "My granddaughter-in-law and several great-grandchildren will also come back?"

Tang Mian looked up from the letter and looked at Li, confirming: "Yes, everyone will come back together."

"Okay, okay, okay." Ms. Li laughed and started making arrangements in a moment, "Mian Niang, the house must be sorted out quickly. Also, the children's favorite dishes must be prepared."

"Also, also, you need to take out the bedding and dry it in the sun."

Tang Mianxiao watched Li Shi chattering about arranging this and that. After she finished speaking, he responded: "Yes, listen to me."

"Uh-huh." Mrs. Li responded casually, frowning in thought. After a moment, she suddenly realized: "Look at my memory, how could I forget my little great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters!"

"Mian Niang, you need to prepare some children's toys."

Lu Yanjin and Lu Yanxiu have quite a few children. Their eldest son is both five years old this year.

Lu Yanjin's youngest son and eldest daughter are twins, and they are two years old this year.

Lu Yanxiu's eldest daughter is three years old this year, and his youngest son will be one year old soon.

Their family can now be considered prosperous. Moreover, she believes that future generations will be even more prosperous.

Tang Mian nodded and said, "Okay."
