Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 121

Autumn is already busy, and since Zhixin has to help the Lin family clean up the house and build roads, the family does not have enough staff, making it even busier.

After the tenth day of August, the crops in the field should be recycled. At this time, the Lin family also stopped the work at the winery and rushed to collect the crops first.The Xu family has planted a lot of land this year, and they have dug up a lot of ginseng soil, so they are even more nervous about the autumn harvest.

Jinghan and the others didn't stop, and went to collect the land together.These days, Mingyu followed Jinghan to run all over the mountains every day, and kept getting things home, such as making cakes from mountain grapes, squeezing the seeds of Shanlihong to dry their skins, or peeling pears from pears. Anyway, they had a lot of fun every day. I was happy and saved a lot of delicious food at the same time.Mingyu hoped that his elder brother would not send someone to pick him up too early, if only he could stay on the mountain for a few more days.

Harvesting land is undoubtedly a very tiring job. When breaking off corn cobs, the hands or face will be scratched by the corn leaves. When cutting beans with a sickle, the pods will stab your hands.The same goes for the rest of the crops, none of which are easy to dry.It was only at this time that Mingyu really realized the hardships of the farmers, "Sister, now I understand, I don't dare to stop eating this or that in the future. Oh my God, farmers grow food. It's really not easy. If you don't cherish the food, you should really be struck by thunder." Mingyu said while bending over to cut beans, and beat his back twice.

Jinghan is determined to hone Mingyu's skills, so she will bring Mingyu along to do any work.But Jinghan also knows a lot, so he won't make him too tired, just experience all kinds of work.Fortunately, Mingyu has been exercising up and down the mountains and rivers with everyone these days, and he can barely cope with these tasks. "Yeah, the food that farmers work so hard to grow is hard-won, so we must know how to cherish it. When Mingyu returns home in the future, he must remember what he said today and cherish the fruits of other people's hard work. Remember?"

"Hey, sister, don't worry, Mingyu knows." Mingyu continued to cut beans with a sickle.He is a very smart boy, no matter what job he does, he knows it at a glance.It wasn't long before he picked up the sickle, and he was already doing well.

Zhixin over there looked back and couldn't help but said, "Mingyu is really a good guy, he did a good job. If you don't know, you will think that you grew up in a farm."

The Xu family liked Li Mingyu very much.He is cute and has no airs, and he can't see the arrogance of a child from a wealthy family. This is what people like the most.No matter what work there is at home, Mingyu will reach out to help, even if it is done slowly, he still has to do it.The Xu family naturally has no shortage of such jobs, but such an attitude makes people feel very comfortable.

The old man led Wenxuan and Wenchang back from the town. Looking at the harvested grain, the old man was full of joy and at the same time kept feeling emotional.When the old man found out about Mingyu, he naturally wanted to ask clearly, so Zhixin had no choice but to explain clearly to his father.After hearing this, the old man didn't say he disagreed. He just said that since he agreed, he must fulfill his promise and take good care of Mingyu.Zhixin quickly said yes.

Naturally, Wenxuan and Wenchang also saw Mingyu, for this chubby peer, Wenxuan felt quite right. "When the crops are harvested in these two days, I will take you to dig the pine cones. Throw that thing into the fire and burn it. The pine nuts will be delicious." Wenxuan said.

Jinghan glanced at her younger brother, Wenxuan had grown in love in the past two years, and he didn't have the chubby feeling he had when he was a child.Maybe it's because I really like the feeling of being chubby, so I treat Mingyu better and better. "What is our sister doing at home?"

"What else can I do? Embroider the wedding dress. I'm going to get married in winter, and I have a lot of things to do. Brother Pengcheng is going to take the exam. If he can pass the exam this time, our eldest sister will become a talented woman." However, I still don't like elder sister getting married." Wenxuan curled his lips, disliking the feeling that elder sister will not be at home in the future.

Jinghan cut beans on the ground, "No matter who it is, it will leave home when it grows up. Look at Uncle Wu, it's farther away. Fortunately, the eldest sister married in the town, and it's not too far away. In the future, I can often We met." Jinghan also doesn't like her sister getting married, but a woman's life will eventually take this step, no matter what age she is.

"The second sister will find someone convenient in the future, otherwise I won't follow her." Wenxuan said coquettishly.

Jinghan shook her head and smiled, this matter of marriage is not something anyone can do. "No matter where we are in the future, as long as we think about home."

The Xu family had a total of [-] mu of land, and everyone worked together, and it took three or four days to take it all back.It happened to be the fourteenth of August, and the old lady said that this year was the last time Jingya would spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, so she asked everyone to go back to celebrate the festival as soon as possible.Fortunately, this year the village has set a date for August [-]th, and the time can be met, so Zhixin and the others left the Wang and Fang families behind, prepared a lot of food for them, and let them have a good time on the mountain. to celebrate the festival.Then Zhixin took the Xu family and Mingyu back to the town, just in time to take back all the things that Mingyu's brother sent.

Zhixin and the others wandered back to the town in a bullock cart. Before they reached the door of their house, they saw a lot of people surrounded by the door of Xu's house, and they heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance.Jing Han was a little puzzled, and looked up at her father. "Daddy, hurry up, let's go and find out what's going on." Zhixin nodded, and with a flick of the whip in his hand, the cow walked faster.

When the family arrived at the door of their house, Zhixin got out of the bullock cart and shouted as he walked in, "Everyone gives way, everyone gives way, the master is back." Zhiming behind him was driving another car. They also got out of the car, and Wen Cheng, Wen Xuan, and Wen Chang all jumped out of the car.The Xu family's children were all tall and strong, so they just went inside like this.

The people surrounding Xu's house naturally have neighbors. When everyone saw that the Xu family had returned, they hurriedly stepped aside while talking. "Everyone hasten to give way, the father and mother of the scholar master are back."

Jing Han heard it from behind, her heart skipped a beat, "Master Xiucai? Are you talking about big brother?"

At this time, the crowd had already parted, and the Xu family came to the gate smoothly, just in time to see Wen Han standing in the middle of the crowd, saluting to the people around him, "Everyone in the neighborhood, my nephew is not talented, and it is the Xu family who passed the exam today as a scholar." The blessings of my ancestors. My nephew just came back from Fucheng, and the journey was tiring. I also ask uncles and nephews to wash up and meet their family members, and then discuss the matter of entertaining your neighbors."

While talking, Zhixin and his family came to Wenhan.When family members meet again, Zhixin pats his son on the shoulder in such a joyous occasion. "Son, good job." Then he turned to face the crowd behind him. "Neighbors, I am lucky to be selected as a scholar today. Xu has nothing to show for it. There is a wine at noon, and everyone comes to drink."

The old man was too beautiful, he stood there and said, "Yes, yes, come for a drink at noon, everyone, come."

There are a few people next to him, dressed like people in the yamen, Zhixin has experienced Zhixiang's examination of talents before, so he understands better.Quickly took out some silver taels and distributed them to those few people, "In a hurry, I can't make a red envelope, please forgive me. I have some kindness, and some of you can go to the bar." Zhixin stuffed those people every day People five taels of silver.

Several people looked at the heavy silver in their hands, and immediately smiled, "What did Uncle Xu say, it is our honor to be able to announce the good news to Master Xiucai."

The old man led his children and grandchildren to talk with these people here, while Xue and Zhu entered the gate with the children and went to see Chen.

There are only Chen Shi, Jingya, Jingwan, and Old Wangtou in the family.Mrs. Chen didn't know what was going on with the commotion outside, so she sent Lao Wangtou out to have a look.It just so happened that everyone came back, and the old lady knew that her eldest grandson was selected as a scholar. "Hey, Meilin, hurry up and take some money out. Those who announce the good news have to give red envelopes. This is etiquette, and it can't be saved." Chen got up to get the money.

Mrs. Xue stopped her, "Mother, Zhixin has already given the money to others. The life of our family has not been so tight these few years. We all have money in our hands, so you don't need to take it out."

Mrs. Chen didn't listen, but still took out some silver and handed it over to Mrs. Xue. "Even if you don't give money to others, don't you have to prepare the banquet at noon? Come on, take the money and go to the market to have a look, and prepare quickly. This is a big happy event for our family, so we have to celebrate it." The old lady said the most It hurts my grandson, and I couldn't close my mouth with joy when I heard the news.

Mrs. Xue took the money, went with Mrs. Zhu to discuss what to do at noon, and then the two sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law went out to prepare.Of course, there were a lot of things to buy, and the two of them couldn't handle them, so Wen Cheng and the others followed.

Chen Shi was not overjoyed, but she noticed Jing Han and Jing Xian, and the little fat man beside Jing Han. "Hey, who's child is this? He looks really good. Come here, come and let me have a look. He's a lucky boy. Jinghan, why don't you tell grandma who this is?"

Jinghan hurriedly told grandma about Mingyu's background, and finally said, "Grandma, it was too noisy just now, so I forgot to introduce you. Mingyu, this is our grandma, you follow Just call grandma."

Mingyu hurried over to salute Mrs. Chen, "Boy Li Mingyu, I met Grandma Xu."

Mrs. Chen pulled Mingyu over, looked at it carefully, and nodded. "Good boy, since you're here, make this your home. If you want to eat or play, you can go to your elder sister Jinghan. She has a lot of ideas. You can live here with peace of mind, and you don't have to be homesick. Treat this as your home." Since the son agreed that the child should stay, of course the old lady would not object.Besides, Mingyu is very cute, the old lady likes it at first glance, so naturally she won't feel unhappy.
