Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 790

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means family reunion in this era, so unlike in the modern world, the festival is either traveling abroad or having a banquet in a hotel.

And it’s different from taking married girls back to their parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival. They all have reunion dinners at their own homes, enjoy the moon and eat cakes, so the focus is on the atmosphere at night.

Early in the morning, Fang Xiaofu and his brothers and sisters sat in the open room after breakfast, and began to make arrangements for the festival.The second cousin and her two daughters-in-law are here to accept the arrangement.

The servants in Bieyuan are all under the care of the second cousin, so, except for the Shi family who will come here to celebrate the festival together, the gift money, moon cakes and snacks for the servants must also be distributed.

No matter what your status is, you have the right to celebrate the festival.

The old Fang family is developing very fast, but it is definitely not a harsh family.So Fang Xiaofu took another 1000 taels of silver for Bie Yuan's household, letting the second cousin do things cheaply.

Fangfu still receives living expenses from the tent of Fuyuan Restaurant, and the necessary items are collected from the logistics warehouse, no other arrangements are required.

Originally, Fang Xiaofu planned to manage the two mansions separately, but later he thought that almost everyone in Fuyuan Restaurant lived in Fang Mansion, and the logistics warehouse was located here. Unified control is more convenient for management and saves money. a tent.

Therefore, the butlers of Fangfu are still under the management of Fuyuan Restaurant, and they accept the same management system, which is equivalent to a steward, but they are still small stewards at present.

The second cousin took people to make arrangements for the festival. Fang Xiaofu walked out of the open house and couldn't help but smile when he saw the bustling scene of picking lotus pods by the pond.

Everyone has been greedy for this pond of lotus pods for a long time. The group of people who went back yesterday have already picked a lot, but they only regret that the parking spaces are limited and they can't bring more.

After the little brothers came, they wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to start picking last night, but she stopped them and said that the picking was too early and it was not fresh, and they waited for the best food to be picked this morning, so the boys endured it all night.

As a result, after breakfast today, after wiping his mouth, he rolled up his sleeves and ran to the pond.

But thinking of the scene of Mr. Wang's birthday banquet last time, everyone felt that this pool of lotus pods might not be enough to eat, so Fang Ziyuan was kicked by Fang Zijian to pick lotus pods in the Fang Mansion over there.

As for the lotus pods at Fuyuan Restaurant, you can buy them individually for ten or eight renminbi, and they won’t appear on the dining table. A lot of people really paid for it.

Thinking that she has three gardens with ponds and planted lotus, Fang Xiaofu couldn't help but feel complacent, she is so happy that it is the harvest season of lotus pods.

Although people who can afford to live in gardens in this era like to dig ponds and grow lotus flowers, they can eat lotus pods after viewing lotus pods, and dig lotus roots after eating lotus pods. This is what people who really know how to enjoy will do.

Like her.

And here in the other garden, the Shi family brothers, Liu family brothers, and their Fang family brothers, a large group of people almost surrounded the pond in a half circle, and they only found a boat to slip into the depths of the lotus leaves.

It's just because the lotus in this pond was not taken care of well before, and now the lotus leaf poles are densely stretched out, and if the boat goes in, there will be an ugly mark, so Fang Xiaofu does not agree with this behavior.

Anyway, there is something to eat now, and it will be much easier in the coming year after the lotus root is dug up.

Although Fang Ziya lived in the garden since she was a child, it's not that she has never seen excitement, but it was the first time she picked lotus pods with so many brothers. She was so excited that she kept yelling, and she didn't have the image of an ordinary son.

After all, it was because of his young age and his playful nature that he was assimilated by other brothers so quickly. At this moment, he was carrying a small backpack and ran here and there, and was extremely busy.

"Sister Xiao Qi'er! Come on! There are so many lotus pods!"

Liu Zehua just got another lotus pod from Fang Zizhan, and when he was happily climbing up the grassy slope, he saw Fang Xiaofu, and quickly waved his little arm and shouted loudly.

The little sisters were all sitting on the grassy slope eating the lotus pods, turned around to follow his shout, and shouted too.Every little face is filled with bright smiles.

The yard here is much bigger than that of the Dazayuan, and the pond is our own, so fun!
Most of them came back to the county for the first time, and they were all very excited and talked a lot, chatting like a forest.

Fang Xiaofu smiled and walked over, just sat down next to the sisters, Liu Zehua happily jumped over and sat down next to her, and even peeled off a lotus seed and handed it to her mouth with a smile.

Fang Xiaofu hurriedly opened his mouth to take it, and immediately handed over two peeled lotus seeds, this time it was sisters Wang Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoju, and she also ate them with a smile.

But soon, the little brothers seemed to have made an appointment, and before Fang Zizhan came, they slid over one by one, each with a lotus pod, and filled Fang Xiaofu's skirt pockets in an instant, and there were still The tendency to pile up hills.

"Wow! A lot of wow! I earned it!" Liu Zehua shouted excitedly, and sure enough, following Xiaoqi'er sister would not worry about eating.

"Little guy, don't eat so much at a time, be careful of stomach upset." Fang Xiaofu pinched the corners of his skirt with both hands to prevent the lotus pods from spilling out, looked down at the excited little guy with a smile, and suddenly thought of Ge Xiaobao for some reason.

That well-behaved and lovely child must be very lonely on weekdays, right?

Even though their father and son often play games together, Brother Ge has to go out to work on weekdays. There is only one mother-in-law to help take care of him. I'm afraid it's just a caretaker. It's impossible to chat and play games with him.

Fang Zizhan came over with an empty pan, and put all the lotus pods in Fang Xiaofu's skirt pocket into it, leaving only two for her, then went to the pond to collect the lotus pods that everyone picked, and when the pan was full, he went back up the slope Replace it with an empty one.

Everyone has been busy for a long time, and there are no lotus pods to pick along the pond, but there are still many lotus pods standing proudly in places far away from the reach of arms and long poles.

"Let's get the boats out. These are far from enough for our village to share once. It would be too wasteful not to take them off." In the end, Fang Xiaofu still chose to use the boat.

The former owner of the Bieyuan planted this pond of lotus and also liked to go boating and drinking, so there was a boat, and it was the only movable object that was not removed.It's just that it's rarely used, so it's stored in a remote small warehouse by the wall.

But it is maintained every year.Fang Xiaofu guessed in his heart that Li Deyi might send a boat to pick the deep lotus pods every year, even if the owner came suddenly, he would not be found.

It's just that they don't have much drama this year, because the new owner's house is too different.

Fang Xiaofu is not a stingy person either, at the moment the third kid from the Li family is also in the lotus picking team, eating and having fun.

But because they are still young, like other little brothers, they are only responsible for carrying the small basket or the small back basket to load the lotus pods, and then transfer them to the big basket on the shore.

Now that it is decided to launch the boat, the pickable area has been expanded several times at once.
