Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 389

During this period, both Jinxi and Wending have busy schedules, so there is much less walking between each other.

At this time, in the Sunjiagou on the far side of the mountain, Mrs. Sun led Jinrou calmly, occasionally seeing an opportunity, and inevitably comforted her gently.

The dragon raises its head on the second day of February, which is also Sun's birthday.Liang Yuzhong and Cai Qingyang went to Sunjiagou with fish and some pastries to celebrate Sun's birthday, and took them out of the mountain by the way.

The first thing Mrs. Sun did when she returned to Jinjishan Village was to discuss with Mama Dong about raising chicken cubs in the spring. After last year's prevention and treatment of chicken plague, Mrs. Sun planned to raise more chickens this year.

The business management of the three shops, the spring plowing and sowing of dozens of acres of paddy fields and dry land, the feeding of chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle at home, and now a fish pond is added. This year, Jinxi's family seems to have ushered in the busiest time ever. one year.

Although he is busy, he is so busy that he has endless energy, because there is hope and goals ahead.

Busy and fulfilling days always pass quickly, until one day when Jin Xi was on the carriage going to the shop in the town, she saw a piece of golden yellow on both sides of the official road.

At home, Granny, Niang, and Mama Dong were all actively making arrangements to go to the ridge of the rapeseed field, pull that kind of wild garlic and come back to make a garlic rake on March [-]rd. Jinxi suddenly realized that another month had passed. , has arrived on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar.

The third day of March is commonly known as the March Festival in this area, and it is fashionable for every household to make garlic rakes.

Jin Xi also intentionally left work early this day from her shop in the town, just as she turned around the screen wall in full bloom with peach blossoms, and turned into the arched flower-shaped door in the backyard, she heard the crisp and melodious voices and laughter of the women coming from the yard.

The big locust tree has begun to germinate. On the stone table under the tree, there are bamboo steamers and kneaded rice noodles.

Several women stood and sat around the stone table, talking and laughing while making garlic rakes.

Jin Xi swept into the courtyard to visit, not only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Jin and Taozhi, but also Cui Xique, who was bedridden at home and hadn't stepped out of the courtyard for ten and a half months.

Cui Xique, who was more than seven months pregnant, felt like she was holding a watermelon in her stomach, and her colorful padded jacket was stretched out high.

As for the Jin family, because of Chen Yizheng's follow-up diagnosis and treatment, she did not fall ill this spring for the first time. This is undoubtedly a joy for the old Liang family, especially Dafang.

Jin Xi went over to say hello to all of them, and joked with Cui Xique: "Fourth aunt, how can fourth uncle let you go out without worry? I went to visit you a few days ago, and before my butt was hot, I was caught Fourth Uncle has been kicked out, my Fourth Uncle loves you so much now, I don't want you to talk too much, saying it's hurtful!"

Jin Xi's joke made Sun and Tao Zhi laugh, Cui Xique blushed slightly.

"Hey, don't listen to your fourth uncle's nonsense. I was really insecure a few days ago. Thanks to my sister-in-law's natal father, Master Chen, who diagnosed me, I have been lying in bed for more than a month, and now I am much better."

"Even if it's much better, you can't take it lightly. The first three and the last three, you have to be extra careful. After lunch, let the fourth child pick you up and go back to rest." Sun told Cui Xique.

Cui Xique smiled gratefully at Mrs. Sun, responded crisply, and then asked Jin Xi who had rolled up her sleeves and was about to help make garlic rakes.

"Girl Xi, you haven't visited your grandfather in the past few days, have you?" she asked.

"Well, I've been so busy these days that I couldn't take time off, so I didn't go to see his old man. What's the matter? Is there anything going on with your master?"

Jin Xi responded with her mouth, but her eyes were comparing the rake made out of peach branches, and her fingers imitated deftly.

"Hey, I knew all of you guys were kept in the dark, this old man is really elusive, what's his plan!" Cui Xique said with a half-smile.

"There's one thing I'm not sure about. It's just a guess. I'm afraid you guys won't believe me when I tell it." She hesitated.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Cui Xique suspiciously.

"Fourth aunt, there are no outsiders here, just tell me what you have, believe it or not, let's talk about it, isn't it a waste of time to go around in circles." Jinxi grinned and urged, Cui Xique and Lao Liangtou were together It is in the backyard of the old Liang's house, and the east and west wings live opposite each other.

She herself is a very shrewd woman, and the troubles in the East Wing may not escape her ears.Seeing her pretending to be mysterious, she must have discovered something unusual again.

Cui Xique adjusted his sitting posture, coughed lightly, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "After breakfast today, I opened the door to go to the toilet, and happened to see my father coming out of the east wing opposite. He was dressed in clean clothes, with a bulging bundle behind him, and a hat on his head, as if he was about to go out in a hurry."

"I greeted him, and he hummed and asked me to tell my sister-in-law and Taozhi that there is no need to prepare his portion for lunch this afternoon, and he will come back in the afternoon."

"Going out?" Mrs. Sun was surprised, and Mrs. Jin and Taozhi were also shocked by the news.

"Third brother seems to be getting married to his master's daughter in the next few days. His father-in-law's family entrusted someone to bring an invitation card. I heard what Sheng said. Could it be that the master secretly went to the county seat behind our backs?" Taozhi guessed.

"I don't think Dad will go. His old man values ​​face more than his life. Even if he feels sorry for Zhi Xiaozi, he will let someone else go. Why would he go there in person!" Sun immediately shook her head and denied Taozhi's proposal. guess.

"There are no distant relatives in the family. Dad is an old man. If he goes out without saying a word, there will be nothing wrong with it?" Jin became worried.

"Third siblings, fourth siblings, why don't we hurry up and tell the men about this, and let them chase dad back?"

Mrs. Sun was shaken, but Cui Xique giggled, and stopped him: "Don't, I saw that dad was walking on tiptoes in a mysterious way when he went out in the morning. Obviously, he didn't want to disturb us big guys." "Sister-in-law, don't do bad things with good intentions, and you will be blamed by your father."

"Magpie, in your opinion, where is our father going?" Sun asked Cui Xique, who was sitting there with a calm smile.

Cui Xique smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard from people in the village that our second elder brother is very popular now, and he was appreciated by his uncle, so he arranged to go to the cloth shop branch in Fenglin Town to be the second shopkeeper. Hehe, Maybe, our father went to Fenglin Town to visit the shopkeeper's son, and we are still worrying about it here!"

Mrs. Sun has been in Sunjiagou some time ago, and knows nothing about these things happening outside.It was Jin Xi, who only learned about it from shopkeeper Zhang and butcher Zhang in the village after she left the mountain and went back to the town to manage the shop.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Jin looked at each other speechlessly, and their bones and tendons were broken. Even though Old Liangtou expelled the second room, he was still thinking about it in his heart. The old man wanted to see his second son, perhaps because he was worried about their sons and daughter-in-laws. They would block it, so I sneaked in.

"Since that's the case, let's not talk about it with men for the time being, poor parents in the world!" Sun sighed softly, and continued to knead the ball.

"Xi'er, why are you silent when we talk about it?" Cui Xique's eyes fell on Jin Xi, and he asked with a smile, "What do you think about this?"

Jin Xi pursed her lips into a smile, looked at the crowd, paused for a moment on Jin's body, then turned away again.

"My guess is similar to yours. I'm afraid I'm tired of staying at home and want to go out for a walk!" Jin Xi said disapprovingly.

Cui Xique smiled, sat there touching her sharp belly, and suddenly said to Jin: "Sister-in-law, the fourth brother went to the fish pond with kid Sheng, I have something to ask him, can I bother you to help?" Do me a favor, go ahead and see if they're back?"

"Hey, okay, I'll go and have a look."

Jin smiled honestly, not realizing Cui Xique's real intention, turned around and went to the front yard.But those who stayed behind knew it well.

"Xi'er, should you say it now?" Cui Xique looked at Jin Xi with a smile.

Jin Xi frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Second Uncle is now the second innkeeper, and with his temperament of a monkey who climbs up the pole, he must have lived happily ever after in Fenglin Town."

"Even if my grandfather went to visit the second uncle in Fenglin Town, he would definitely keep it simple. The only possibility is that my grandfather might have sneaked away to visit the uncle!" Jin Xi speculated.

"What?"

"what?"

Sun and Taozhi almost exclaimed in unison, Cui Xique also stared at Jinxi in astonishment, and asked, "You mean, your master went to Xidaba to visit the prison?"

Cui Xique patted the stone table in front of him uneasily, and said with a gloomy expression: "The old man is not mistaken, is he? Brother is a serious criminal who was assigned to Xi Dam, and he still went to visit the prison? Isn't that obvious?" What are you doing against the government?"

There are relevant regulations in the criminal law of Dayue Kingdom. For those prisoners who are heinous or have serious diseases, they are sent to be punished in bitter cold or hard work, which is basically equivalent to throwing them into a dark corner where they can live and die.

Family members are usually not allowed to visit the prison. Visiting the prison means sympathizing with these prisoners, and sympathizing with these wicked people is to oppose the government that sanctioned these wicked people.

Therefore, when Liang Yuju was sentenced to three years in prison in Xida Dam, Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan fell ill immediately, and they were already mentally prepared to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man.

"I've been a knife and pen official for decades, so I don't know how to break the law. If he dared to visit the prison this time, he must have asked someone to clear it up before." Jin Xi said thoughtfully.

The others were silent, all of them were downcast, and their hearts were uneasy.

"In the past few days, I often saw my grandfather drinking and chatting with Gagong, and they were talking old things from the past. I can't be sure, but I asked Gagong for help." Taozhi recalled.

Jin Xi's eyes lit up, and she said: "That's right, aunt's personality is just like Master Chen's, she is generous and kind-hearted. No matter how serious uncle's crimes are, he and aunt are married in the end. No matter how much Master Chen hates Iron is not made into steel, Gu Nian aunt, he will also find a way to unblock it."

"According to this, my father-in-law is still expected to be released early?" Tao Zhi asked in surprise, without any joy or excitement on his face.

"Alas..." Cui Xique let out a long sigh, and suddenly a lot of dark clouds floated over his head.

Sun's expression is also complicated, and Jin Xi's brows are furrowed, sighing secretly that Liang Yuju has failed in life, and those closest to him regard him as a plague god!
