Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 72

"Mother, how come Jijiao's family has the same millet as mine? Could it be... Could it be that our land master went to her house to manifest spirits?"

Qiao Gendi was taken aback when he heard his son's words, and thought to himself, it seems that his own land master's invisibility began after Ji Jiao left. Could it be that the land master really followed Ji Jiao?But she is a little girl, how could she have such great supernatural powers.

"No, don't make wild guesses." While talking about her son, she thought about it and went into the house.

Just such a sentence, of course, can't stop Li Sanxi from thinking wildly.Li Sanxi watched for a while the grain piles that were gradually decreasing in the past few months, and then also entered the house.

Mrs. Zhao was lying on the kang, retching into the spittoon, when she saw him come in, she raised her head and asked, "What's in the warehouse, is there a rat?"

"It's not a mouse, it's a mother."

"Didn't mother go to see grandma, why did you go to the warehouse again?"

"Mother came back from grandma and brought back a handful of millet to compare with ours."

Mrs. Zhao was very surprised: "Compared to what? Our millet was given by the gods. Can other people's millet compare?"

Li Sanxi said annoyedly: "What kind of gods are there? All the gods in our family have gone to other people's homes."

Mrs. Zhao blinked and asked, "What do you mean by that? Why did you go to someone else's house?"

Li Sanxi glanced at his mother's room, and said in a low voice, "Our land master has not manifested for several months. Today, my mother went into the warehouse of Jijiao's house and said that there is a lot of millet in there, and it belongs to our family." That kind of good millet, take it back and compare it, it’s the same as ours! Do you remember that our family’s land master disappeared after the bellflower left, I think this girl must be invited to go to her house The apparition has gone!"

Mrs. Zhao's eyes were wide open, and she even forgot the feeling of nausea. She sat up suddenly and said in astonishment: "That's right! Why didn't we think of this? The land master left and wanted to pray, why did he forget?" And about the girl Kikyo..."

Li Sanxi hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down, don't let my mother overhear. After Jugeng left our house, my mother was not happy. She thought it was us who drove her away. If you say this again, your mother will be overheard." I'm even more unhappy to hear that!"

Zhao's family got angry and said: "Why don't you like it? Platycodon grandiflorum is not our family, why should you always stay at our house, and now even our gods have been abducted, your mother is not happy, I really don't know her Can you tell the difference between the inside and the outside!"

Li Sanxi said angrily: "Oh, don't talk about it, we are her son, daughter-in-law, grandma, or mother's mother, and Jijiao is raising grandma now, even if she really invites our gods away, mother will not say anything of!"

Mrs. Zhao sat there holding her breath, her eyes slanted and slanted, but she didn't say anything.

Li Sanxi sat with her for a while, then went to chop firewood in the backyard.

Mrs. Zhao got up from the kang and went to the east room to stretch her head. She saw her mother-in-law sitting on the kang embroidering a bellyband for her child. She said, "Mother, I'm so nervous, let's go for a walk."

Qiao Gendi didn't think too much about something, and said casually: "Well, you can go, don't be in a hurry to come back, I will cook in a while."

"Ah."

Mrs. Zhao turned around and went out, and walked straight to Jijiao's house.

As soon as I entered the yard of Jijiao's house, I saw the chickens all over the yard chirping and chirping happily, and the fennel was washing the vat in the yard, getting half of my body wet.

"Fennel, what are you doing?"

Fenix ​​looked up to see that it was her, immediately smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law Sanxi, why are you here? Aunt Wu said that you were embarrassed, and I haven't visited you yet."

Mrs. Zhao also put on a smiling face, and said: "I have something to see, I have to come to see grandma, grandma has moved out for so many days, if I didn't feel unwell, I would have come here long ago."

Fennel wiped her hands on the apron, and said, "Grandma is coaxing Maiya to sleep, sister-in-law, come in quickly."

The two entered the room talking.

Mai Ya'er has fallen asleep, and Grandma Qiao is cleaning the soles of her shoes.Mrs. Zhao came in and said, "Who are you making sweet shoes for? The insides are brand new. No wonder my mother said that grandma's life is better now."

Grandma Qiao said: "Well, there are no old things here. There are too many new cloths bought by Jigeng, so I will make a pair for each of them. The children work too much and spend money on shoes."

Fennel washed a bowl of cherries and brought them over, put them in front of Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Sister-in-law Sanxi, you eat. I haven't finished my work outside, so I won't accompany you. You can chat with grandma."

Mrs. Zhao was very surprised when she saw the cherries, and asked, "Hey, why did you get cherries here?! This is not the time for cherries to ripen!"

Fennel said: "I bought the bellflower from the market. I don't know how they grow it. It's ripe so early. You can eat it quickly, it's so sweet!"

After speaking, she went out to work again.

Mrs. Zhao picked up a cherry and looked at it. It was big, red and fleshy. She put it in her mouth and bit it, and the sweet juice flowed out of her mouth. Mrs. Zhao, who hadn't eaten a fresh fruit for more than half a year, felt like eating a fairy fruit. The pulp was swallowed.While eating, I was still thinking, if such a delicious fruit was not a gift from the land master, who would believe it? The cherries grown in the land have never been so delicious!
Grandma Qiao looked at her and laughed, and said, "Isn't it delicious? Eat more. I bought a basket of bellflowers from the market. Just now, your mother was in a hurry and didn't have time to give it to her."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Grandma Qiao's face, and asked tentatively, "Grandma, are these cherries really bought from the market?"

Grandma Qiao didn't take it seriously, and said while holding the soles of her shoes: "Of course, the solar terms are late in our village, and the cherries are still green. Either they bought them from the market and there is nowhere to pick them, or this child is too bad at life. Been buying so much…”

Mrs. Zhao ate non-stop, and asked, "Grandma, are you lying to me? Our solar terms are the same throughout Linzhao County. The fruits here are not ripe, and the fruits elsewhere are also not ripe. For sale, your cherries...couldn't they be sent by the land master?"

Grandma Qiao stopped her work and said, "What land master? Isn't the land master at your house? How could we invite him? This is the platycodon grandiflorum that I bought after going to the market. I'm old enough, can I still lie to you?" .”

Mrs. Zhao lowered her head and pinched a cherry and said: "But my land master hasn't shown any signs of life since Platycodon grandiflora beat my house away, but your house has everything here. When Zhang's family moved here, pull Three cartloads of millet were taken away, and his family hasn’t grown much millet in the past two years, so how could there be so much, and the platycodon was paid back to this house on credit, I think it was exchanged for millet..."

As soon as she said this, Grandma Qiao also thought about it. She hadn't doubted that Jikyo made such a thing, but what Jikyo got was something that didn't exist in the village, so it couldn't be stolen, so Jikyo said she bought it. She reluctantly believed it, and now that Zhao Shi reminded her, she couldn't help but guess at those gods and monsters.
