Farmer's happy event

Chapter 70 Gathering
Looking at the last few persimmons left, Lianzi suddenly thought of Ning Qing, she should send him some.But the last ones left were all picked off, either because the skin was scalded by hot water, or they didn't look very good-looking, so they really couldn't be taken out.

Lianzi thought to himself, let's just make new ones later, and send some to him to taste.

At the same time, Ning Qing was standing in front of the desk, drawing on the white paper with five-color pens.A clump of orchids, like an elf in an empty valley, appears on the paper.

After passing the provincial examination and the general examination three years later, I don't know what it will be like by then.

Ning's father just let him study at ease, but he didn't mention a word of what his mother said before she was alive.It doesn't matter to him, but he will never give up his mother's things.

With a "snap", the paintbrush blurred a flower of ink on the white paper.

Ning Qing looked at the ink flower that was pressing on the orchid like a black cloud, turned around, and walked out of the room without looking back.

After the Lianzi family had sold out the persimmons, they went shopping on the street for a while and bought some daily necessities.

Yang raised her head and looked at the sky, the sun was almost at the top of her head, so let's go after lunch.

"Father, mother, let's go to shopkeeper Dong for dinner." Lianzi said.

Yang said: "How can I bother people all the time? Go there for dinner every time I go back."

"Hey, it's just a meal. It's not a big deal." Lianzi smiled and muttered, "Besides, shopkeeper Dong said last time that our family should go over for dinner."

"Mother, are we going to a big restaurant for dinner?" Li Zi asked excitedly.

Shopkeeper Dong and his family know each other well, and they know everything about the restaurant, but they haven't visited it yet.

"Yes." Lianzi pinched her face that had just been powdered.

Li Zi became unhappy, waved Lian Zi's hand away, and said in distaste: "Go, don't dirty my face."

Lianzi snorted and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

"Father, let's go, I really want to see it." Li Zi changed to tugging at the corner of Liu Jingren's clothes.

Liu Jingren looked at Yang Shi and said, "Then go."

Lizi cheered and climbed back into the carriage.

It was time for dinner again, and there were still a lot of people eating.Shopkeeper Dong heard that they were coming, so he led them up to the second floor.

It happened that Yimei Pavilion was empty, so shopkeeper Dong ordered the waiter to quickly make special dishes in the kitchen and send them to Yimei Pavilion.

Coincidentally, the two sons of Shopkeeper Dong are here today.

The eldest, Dong Xiuping, is sixteen this year, and looks about the same age as Ning Qing.There was a certain elegance about him, and it was only after I asked him that he was also a candidate from Xinzhong, but his ranking was a little behind.When he saw Lianzi's family, he would call them when they should. They were unassuming and informal, and Lianzi liked this kind of character.

The second child, Dong Xiuning, Lianzi has met a long time ago, he is not very talkative, but he looks lazy all day long.Lianzi felt that there was probably something wrong with this child.

"It's a coincidence this time, we've got them all together. Let's have a good drink at noon today." Shopkeeper Dong said while pulling Liu Jingren.

Although it's lunch time, everyone is busy, but the shopkeeper has already spoken, so why not be unhappy?After only waiting for about a cup of tea, the dishes have already been served one after another.

When the food and wine were ready, shopkeeper Dong asked Liu Jingren to take a seat, and then let Mrs. Yang and the four girls sit at the table, and then he and his two sons also sat down.

To be honest, it was the first time for Lianzi's family to eat such a sumptuous and grand meal. Faced with a table full of dishes, they didn't know how to use their chopsticks.

Gu Zi is still gentle and sensible as usual, and from time to time, he will pick up vegetables for Yang Shi and the lotus seeds beside him.Douzi remained silent as usual, just eating the food in front of him in silence.Knowing her temper, Yang picked up different dishes and put them in a bowl for her.

Chestnuts and lotus seeds are not restrained at all, they eat their own, very sweet.

The host and guest enjoyed the meal, and Dong Xiuping also had a few drinks with Liu Jingren.

After eating, it was still early and there was nothing to do when they went home, so the two families simply talked for a while, and then Liu Jingren and Yang Shi left and took the children back home.

The day to harvest autumn peanuts is coming soon, and there are still twenty acres of sweet potatoes.

Lianzi's family mobilized, and it only took one day to harvest the remaining acre of autumn peanuts and take them home.

The field of spring peanuts has been left uncultivated this year, and the other mu will be plowed and planted with winter wheat.

Although this kind of abandonment can save soil fertility, it is always a pity to throw it away.Lianzi couldn't help thinking that it would be great if there was alfalfa. She saw that the climate here is not very cold, so alfalfa should be able to survive.

If alfalfa is planted, not only can the land be cultivated, but it can also be harvested for cattle feed, which can kill two birds with one stone.However, she has never seen alfalfa here.Presumably, you have to go further south to have it.

After harvesting autumn peanuts, the Mid-Autumn Festival will come.After the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, although there is no work in the field, Lianzi feels that her family will become busier and busier.

Shopkeeper Zhang's shop came to urge the goods a few days ago. Fortunately, when he was idle some time ago, he did some work, which was barely able to cope with it.

As the family has more and more land and more and more businesses, Lianzi feels more and more powerless. It would be great if there are more people to help.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lianzi's family returned to their hometown for the festival as usual, and this time they still took a lot of chicken, duck and fish, which made Li's jealous again.

Originally thought that after the second child's family was separated, all the benefits of the family would naturally belong to her, but who would have thought that Shen's stingy is tight, and she can't miss a single cent, and all the money is tightly held in her hands. In my own hands, no one else can spend a little more to get it.

The second child's family was so impoverished that they had never seen it before. On the contrary, the days passed and the better. In the spring of this year, they even bought [-] acres of land and became half landlords in the village. How could this make Li Shi not angry?Last night, they talked about Liu Jingmin and urged Liu Jingmin to split up.With Shen's kind of virtue, living with her family will not get any good.

For the holidays, the food at home must not be bad.The women of the family cooked a table full of dishes, and only started eating after dark.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Shen asked Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yang to wash the dishes, then called the whole family together and said, "Chunzi and Jinglin are both eighteen this year, it's time to get married and leave the court. Let her pay attention to that woman. When it comes to weddings, all of you should contribute a little bit."

It was obvious that this was for the eldest and second bedroom.

"Hey, mother," Li said hurriedly, "We haven't separated yet, and you are in charge of the family's money. Where can we find money?"

Shen Shi glanced at her and said, "Aren't you going to separate the family?"

Mrs. Li choked on this sentence, she just said it to Liu Jingmin, how did she know it?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li looked at Liu Jingmin who was sitting on the kang over there, and saw that he was puffing on the pipe without looking at her.

Mrs. Li had nothing to say, so she had to keep her mouth shut.

It is not a small expense to hold a wedding, and the old woman will definitely make each family pay a lot of money.It seems that it is better not to separate the family for the time being, and wait until the wedding is over.

"Okay, when the time comes, it's up to us to pay, and we must get a lot of points." Yang said.

This is not just for the brother and sister-in-law to get married, they have to get money, but also because Liu Jinglin and Chunzi have always been close to their family and have a very good relationship.She knew that Liu Jinglin made a lot of money by selling handicrafts to shopkeeper Zhang, but the money was his own, so it was better for him to keep it for his own life in the future.After all, his eyes are inconvenient, and they can rest assured if they have more money.

So, no matter what, she will definitely pay more money, so that Liu Jinglin and Chunzi can live happily, marry those who should get married, and marry those who should get married.

The persimmons on the mountain are still ripening, and the lotus seeds will go up the mountain every few days to pick some back, put them in the tank first, and then make persimmons.

The method of making dried persimmons is actually very simple, similar to making preserved fruit, except that after the cooking is done, roll a layer of soft white sugar on the outside.

In the school, the autumn harvest vacation is just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mr. Liu simply asked the students to take the two vacations together.

Before Zhang Zihe left, he came to Lianzi's house to play. Seeing that Lianzi made something new, he hurriedly tasted it.

He has a sweet tooth, and he likes this persimmon very much.

"Give it all to me." Zhang Zihe chomped on the persimmon and tugged at Lianzi's sleeve.

Lianzi stopped what she was doing, turned her head to stare at him, and said, "Are you so handsome?"

Zhang Zihe didn't know what she meant, but judging by her expression, he probably didn't agree.

So Zhang Zihe said again: "Is it okay if I buy yours?" He waved his hand proudly, "Young master wants it all!"

"Sold to anyone and not to you!" Lianzi was still unwilling to talk to him properly.

Zhang Zihe became anxious, and said, "Where did I provoke you?"

Lianzi ignored her and continued to work, but she said in her heart: You have provoked me too much!

Seeing that Lianzi had stopped talking, Zhang Zihe pointed at her and said, "Okay, you, you don't want to sell it, do you? I still have to buy it!" As he spoke, he picked up a basket of dried persimmons, I'm going home.

How could Lianzi really let him take it away, so he hurriedly chased it out.

"Come back to me!" she yelled.

Zhang Zihe rolled his eyes, I'll come back if you ask me to come back?Then I am too shameless!

Lianzi ran a few steps, finally caught up with him, grabbed the basket, and prevented him from leaving.

"Speak." Zhang Zihe looked at him with a very gracious look.

"Say what?" Lianzi was still upset.

Zhang Zihe pointed to the basket: "Said you gave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was spat on by Lianzi.

Lianzi didn't say yes or no, she just grabbed the basket tightly and stared at Zhang Zihe.

Zhang Zihe made a funny face at her, but didn't speak, and let her stare.

After a while, Lianzi let go, and said: "I'll go to the fair tomorrow to sell, if I can't sell it, I'll give it to you."

"Okay, young master, I will reluctantly agree." Zhang Zihe looked very embarrassed.No matter whether it was selling the leftovers or whatever, in fact he didn't really want these persimmon cakes, he just wanted the lotus seeds to compromise with him.

Lianzi glared at him, snatched the basket from his hand, and took it to the main room.

"Hey, why don't I go sell it with you tomorrow." Zhang Zihe suddenly shouted.

If Lianzi was drinking water now, he would definitely choke.What did he say?Let's go sell together?It's better not to add to the chaos.Anyway, as long as he is there, it will definitely be unlucky.

Lianzi didn't answer, but Zhang Zihe shouted again: "That's it, I'll find you at Jishang tomorrow.
