Xianggong farming

Chapter 199 The Brave Wins

The sons also came back after hearing the news from the yard, and when their father showed up, they didn't say much.

Father Qi saw that his sons were there, so he stared at Qi Silang and asked seriously: "Silang, you have to think about it. If you really don't want to study, then you won't go to school."

When Qi Silang was overjoyed, he bravely said: "Father, Si'er really doesn't want to go to school anymore!"

"Okay, you said this yourself, and your elder brothers are here too. I'll give you another chance, do you still want to go to school?" Father Qi shook his heart secretly when he saw Qi Silang's overjoyed expression Shaking his head: There is no green smoke rising from the ancestral grave of the old Qi family.

Fearing that Father Qi would go back on his decision just now, Qi Silang quickly swore: "Father, I definitely didn't just talk about it. I really don't want to go to school. I can't understand what Mr. said while sitting in the classroom. It’s really boring to write and endorse every day!”

After a long time, Father Qi sighed: "Since you don't want to go to school, I won't force you. If you don't go to school, then you have to think about what you want to do. My Qi family doesn't support idlers, so I don't have the ability to feed you You are already 14 years old, you are an adult, you have to remember what you said today. No matter how hard you live in the future, you can no longer blame your parents for not thinking about your future. "

"Yes! Daddy, Si'er really doesn't want to study anymore. I want to learn how to farm with my elder brother. Didn't my elder brother tell my father to plant cotton with them that day? Mother doesn't want to plant cotton, so I'll grow with my elder brother. Dad, look Okay?" When Qi Shilang thought of the freedom in the field, his face was full of vitality.

He let out a long breath, and Father Qi said seriously: "Since you insist so much, then it's settled. The one-and-a-half mu of land in our own house will be entrusted to you. In previous years, sweet potatoes and bracts were grown there. This year I will plant cotton for you, and if the money you earn is not enough to buy miscellaneous grains in previous years, then you can earn it back by doing short-term labor outside.”

Qi Silang got up excitedly and asked Qi Dalang, "Brother, can I learn how to grow cotton with you?"

Qi Dalang asked lightly: "Can you bear this hardship? This is not about sitting in the classroom and dozing off, but sweating and sweating under the sun. If you can really endure hardship, then I will teach you this." Craftsmanship! But I hope you're a man!"

Immediately, Qi Shilang's enthusiasm was dispelled. He also went to farm the land. Although he was free, it was really hard work.

However, he just doesn't want to read!He wants to learn farming from his elder brother, and how to hunt from his elder brother.The eldest brother hasn't studied for a few years, and he hasn't taken any exams to be a scholar, but how well is he doing now?The dishes I eat every day are much more delicious than my own!
No, he doesn't study anymore, he wants to farm and hunt hard like his elder brother, and marry a wife who can cook like a sister-in-law!

Ji Xinmiao didn't know that the reason why Qi Silang really didn't want to go to school was because of the dishes she cooked!
If she knows, she really wants to say: I blush!This level, even the level of the roadside stalls is not as good as it is.Fourth brother Qi, you are too worthless!
However, the strong bull does not drink water after pressing its head.That's good, Qi Silang doesn't go to school anymore, so he won't have to ask her to comment on sour articles all day long.

What made Ji Xinmiao even more unexpected was that Qi Silang's involvement with her in the future would not end here.

Seeing that the youngest son did not go to school and wanted to learn farming from that annoying couple, Qi Li felt all kinds of indescribable hatred in his heart for a while!She puts all her effort into getting her youngest son to go to school, but he wants to be a mud leg!Qi Li doesn't blame Qi Silang for all this, she puts the blame on Qi Dalang and Ji Xinmiao.

On this day, Ji Xinmiao asked Qi Dalang to get a few loads of silt into the mushroom shed, but the bag of mushrooms was gone, and she was going to use this land to grow watermelon seeds.

Qi Silang was about to enter the shed excitedly carrying the mud, when suddenly he yelled "Wow" and he fell to the ground in fright. Huzi and Ling'er came out to see "haha" and laughed: "Fourth uncle It's a mud monkey!"

Ji Xinmiao heard Qi Silang's scream and came out and saw Qi Silang's face covered with mud, and also smiled: "Fourth brother, what are you doing here?"

Qi Silang ignored Ji Xinmiao and the two children, but looked at Ji Xiang and said bitterly, "See if I won't clean you up!"

Ji Xinmiao knew that this little uncle was a spoiled one, and was afraid that he would really care about two dogs: "Fourth brother, it's no wonder that you are auspicious and wishful. Apart from me and your eldest brother, there are only these two little guys in this shed. Others If you want to come in, you must be taken by someone, otherwise something will happen. Don’t underestimate the little guy Ji Xiangruyi, these two are hunting guys. When you go hunting in the mountains, these two dogs are two great helpers.”

Sure enough, Qi Shilang became interested: "Sister-in-law, when will big brother go hunting in the mountains?"

Ji Xinmiao knew what was on his mind: "I'm afraid I won't have time to go to the mountains in the first half of this year, and the family's affairs are still busy."

Qi Silang shook his head: "What is your family doing with so many barren hills? There is no harvest in this barren land, how can you get money quickly from hunting? My elder brother doesn't know what he thinks, he is obviously a good hunter, but he wants to do this kind of farming .”

Ji Xinmiao didn't want Qi Silang to encourage Qi Dalang to go hunting in the mountains, so he said, "Fourth brother, don't underestimate this wasteland. If your elder brother grows this pumpkin this year, he will not be able to beat it no matter how many times he hunts."

"Pumpkins? My sister-in-law said they grow pumpkins?" Qi Silang heard from his master that the conditions of the scholars' homes in the city are so good that they can't get cold in winter wearing furs and warm boots.In summer, I went to other courtyards to escape the heat, and I also ate frozen pumpkins in the well as snacks.The master's envious expression kept flashing in Qi Silang's mind. He only heard the master talk about the taste of the pumpkin. He heard that it was when the master was studying, and his classmate was from a wealthy family in the city. Pass.

Today, when Ji Xinmiao mentioned the matter of growing pumpkins, the master's appearance as if he had eaten the most delicious food in the world immediately came to mind, so his interest was even greater than the matter of hunting just now.

Seeing that Qi Silang's voice was too loud, Ji Xinmiao immediately stopped and said, "Hush your voice, your eldest brother has never planted this thing before, and I only saw others planting it in the south, so I am not sure. Don't shout around, If it doesn’t grow out, it will make people laugh. If it really grows out, it will make people jealous.”

Qi Silang immediately lowered his voice like a spy: "Sister-in-law, can I learn from you?"

Ji Xinmiao said in embarrassment: "Fourth uncle, I'm sorry. If you don't go to school, your mother will not be reconciled. If I promise you to learn farming from us, I'm afraid she..."
