Chapter 390 Invitation

"Girl, two days ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the rooms brought presents. The servant girl gave two feet of green cloth, two home-made moon cakes, a bottle of shochu, and two chestnut cakes bought in the town according to the usual return gifts. "

"The acquaintances gave away cosmetics, pens and inks."

This acquaintance naturally refers to the main family of the Ji family, as well as the Ding family and the Qi family.

There were only two elderly people in the Qi family, and the gifts were mainly food, and of course there were also cloth.

It is inappropriate for the Chen family and the Gu family in the town to send these things. After discussing with Ji Chenyuan, Aunt Bai chose the fresh vegetables grown in the greenhouse at home, as well as the prawns and fish caught by Ji Yifeng down the river. High-yield rice seeds and wheat seeds at home.

"By the way, girl, Dr. Ding's family has moved to the town. They say they were hired by a rich family to be their own doctors."

"What's the matter? What's the rich man's surname, and what's his character like?" Ji Qingyue hurriedly asked with concern.

She is closer to Ding's family than Ji's family. If it wasn't for the master's help, she wouldn't be able to become a teacher so quickly and open a pharmacy to make her life on the right track.

Ji Qingyue is very concerned about this matter.

Aunt Bai said: "It is said that the surname is Hu. The family has opened several shops in the town, and there are fields in the countryside. I heard that they came from the capital. There are shops not only in the town, but also in the county. They have not yet settled down in the town. In three years, the boxes of family property at that time circled all the streets."

"The Hu family's house is also newly built, and it can be regarded as outstanding in the town. I heard that the Hu family used to be a family of officials. Come home."

"Today is the best day."

Aunt Bai obviously found out clearly, so she spoke without pause.

As soon as I heard that they came from the capital, it would be normal to find a doctor at home. Such a family also has status, and it is not something ordinary people can get involved with. Ji Qingyue is also happy for the Ding family.

"Then, if you want to see Master in the future, you have to go to the town."

"Then choose another gift, which can be regarded as a housewarming gift for Master's family."

After Ji Qingyue finished speaking, she buried her head in looking for a few things, a vase, a piece of cloth with Shu embroidery on it, a pen and ink, one or two pastries and candies, and a set of jewelry.

This kind of gift is very precious in the countryside, Aunt Bai can also see that Ji Qingyue attaches great importance to Ding's family, so she hurriedly took the items selected by Ji Qingyue, packed them up, and let Ji Chenyuan take them with her after a while. past.

It took an hour to pack up all the things brought back, Ji Qingyue took Lingge up the mountain to pick wild chrysanthemums, and Dabai followed.

Ji Yifeng also wanted to go play with him, but he hadn't finished writing the words for the afternoon.

In the end, he begged Ji Qingyue, saying that he would come back later to ensure that he finished writing, and then he was released.

Zhumei broke a basket and went to the second room to find Osmanthus fragrans.

"Yifeng, I'm going to the mountain in a while, do you want to know obediently?" Ji Qingyue whispered.

Ji Yifeng nodded quickly: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely not run around, so I will pick wild chrysanthemums with you."

"I also know where the chrysanthemums are the most beautiful. I will take my sister there in a while."

Seeing that Ji Yifeng calmed down a bit, even if he went up the mountain, he didn't run away like before, Ji Qingyue nodded in satisfaction from behind, it seems that without her doting on Xiaofeng at home, father really taught him to be good up.

Ji Qingyue doesn't want Xiaofeng to return to the previous state of only being playful, and now Xiaofeng doesn't resist writing. I used to do whatever I wanted.

Thinking so in her heart, along the way, Ji Qingyue opened her mouth to test Ji Yifeng.

"Xiaofeng, do you know all the weeds and trees on the road?"

Those who have lived in the village for a long time will naturally know these wild species. This is a skill unique to the country people. It does not mean that they learn it on purpose, but they know it naturally through word of mouth from adults.

"I know them. This is a poplar tree, this is a cypress tree, and these few weeds. Houttuynia cordata is the most common..."

Ji Yifeng spoke clearly and answered Ji Qingyue's question accurately.

"It seems that you have been really good these past few months." Ji Qingyue couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his head.

Ji Yifeng covered his mouth and snickered, he knew that his sister would not believe him so easily, so he was already prepared.

"Hey, I brought you pastries, you can eat them."

Taking the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Ji Yifeng took a bite, his eyes narrowed because of its deliciousness: "Sister, it's so delicious."

"If you behave well in the future, you can eat whatever you want."

Ji Yifeng squinted his eyes and smiled, while casually feeding Dabai next to him.

Three people and one tiger soon arrived in the mountains.

In autumn, the mountains don’t look bleak, but are full of greenery. Many trees bear fruits, most of which are inedible.

After another month or two, the trees on the mountain will slowly turn yellow, and there will be no good scenery at that time.

"Sister, look, there is a large field of wild chrysanthemums here."

As expected, Ji Yifeng got acquainted on the mountain, and the wild chrysanthemum he found was much bigger than the one down the mountain, and even looked a lot better.

"We dug a few trees back and tried to plant them in the backyard. Next year we won't have to go up the mountain to pick them. They look good around the yard."

"Good girl."

Lingge nodded and put his head down.

After digging wild chrysanthemums, the three of them carried two full baskets. When walking down the mountain, they ran into Erfang's family.

Almost all the men have gone to work in the fields. This month is the day for harvesting rice. The rice ripens early, and harvesting begins at the beginning of the month.

Like Ji Qingyue's house, it was only collected two days ago.

At that time, Ji Chenyuan directly invited people to work, and did not ask the villagers for help, but those who came on their own initiative paid their wages and paid for their meals.

Because of this, more people are willing to work for Ji's family.

So this year, the family harvested rice very quickly. It took more than two dozen people three days to harvest all the rice. After three days of exposure to the sun, all the rice had been harvested in the granary.

The timing of Ji Qingyue's return was a bit coincidental, the work at home had just been done, and even the drying yard next to her was clean.

Don't need her to help with cooking.

But after harvesting the rice every year, hard-working people will gather the rice in the field or on the edge of the field and tire it on the tree stump. After drying, they will take it back to burn or feed the cows.

But few people feed cattle, so more of them are used as firewood, and some people just leave these rice seedlings in the field to raise the land.

But this is what lazy people do. Hard-working people will take these rice seedlings back, chop them finely with a knife, and mix them with ashes for fertilizer in the coming year.

There are many people in the second room, and they are not lazy.
