Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 146 The Autumn Wind ([-])

(Although I didn't keep the third place, Red Wine still wants to thank my friends for their strong support. Today is the third update, and I want to express my gratitude!!!)

How could Mu Ai not understand these truths, it would be difficult to refute when the second uncle made it clear that they were married.So he immediately raised his hand and knocked over the teacup, and stopped it in time.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I made my uncles and grandpas laugh at me. Xiao An, I still don't clean up." Mu Ai's complexion was reddish, as if she was a little embarrassed by her own clumsiness, she quickly ordered Xiao An to clean up, and then continued, "The second uncle said just now Where did you go? Oh, yes, it means Brother Tang An is smart and capable. When I saw the two brothers today, I felt that they were indeed much smarter than ordinary children. I have been practicing calligraphy for several years, but have you read all the four books and five classics? That girl Shuan Shuan, I have learned calligraphy for two years, and I have been lazy since I learned the Book of Songs two months ago. It's still neat. These days, I have been clamoring to learn cooking skills, but I didn't stop it. A girl, I don't ask her how to do well in the future, marry a young man who can write and count, and has some talents, and she will have no worries for life. That's it."

These words made the second uncle's face turn red and white, turn black and white, and he almost passed out with a breath stuck in his throat.He was so angry, just now that his intention to get married was so obvious, the little widow interrupted him, and he thought she really didn't mean it, but now it seems that the teacup was aimed at him.

He is a poor family whose roof is leaking, how can he have the money to let his children study and practice calligraphy, and return the four books and five classics.
He also said that Shuan Shuan could write and count, and learned to cook as a female star. Isn't this just a dislike that his grandson is not good enough for her?

The old man wanted to get angry, but seeing his sister's expression seemed to disapprove, and remembering the main purpose of his trip, he had to hold back.Without answering the question, Zhiliu took a sip of tea, and winked at the brother opposite, the uncle hesitated for a moment, and said, "Well...well, sister, the family is going to plant the land soon, I I will go back tomorrow with my second brother."

"Why don't you leave tomorrow? Let's stay for two more days. It's still more than a month before farming."

Although the old lady was heartbroken for her natal family's indifference to her for so many years.However, her father and mother had already passed away, and these two younger brothers were also young when she got married, and they were her only natal family again.

This person, as soon as he gets old, he is very nostalgic, and the little complaints he had when he was young have faded away.

A few days ago, two brothers came to see him, seeing the naughty monkey-like younger brother who followed her back then, now his face was also wrinkled, which made her cry a lot.

She herself has few children, and the two younger brothers brought several children and grandchildren to fill the table, and the old lady became more and more happy.In the past few days, I often talk to my younger brothers about their childhood and their respective lives for so many years, not to mention how lively it is.

Last night, the second brother talked about the sweet potato seeds, and she also explained what happened, saying that neither the money nor the seeds were distributed to the family.However, the second younger brother didn't believe it, and kept asking about Xianxian, probably because he had set his mind on her.

In fact, the old lady knew that as long as she asked, even if Xianxian didn't have it, she would definitely find a way to get it for her.

However, ever since she accidentally rescued this girl and came back, she has never paid much attention to her. On the contrary, she has been taking care of herself and Shuan Shuan, repairing the house, and treating her illness. Difficult, silently endured, and finally helped Gu to settle the case according to his own request, saving her life.

Where in the world can you find such a benevolent and filial child?She knows her two brothers, they are not easy to get along with.This time he really asked Xianxian to give the sweet potato, and next time he had to force himself to ask him for money.So, she didn't let go of what she said, and even secretly hoped that Mu Ai would come back later.

The old lady thought clearly at first, but now when she heard her brother said that she was going to leave, her heart softened for a while, and she couldn't bear to get up.

The second uncle glared at the eldest brother with hatred, then glanced at Mu Ai, muttering to himself, who told you to say goodbye, today I finally met the rightful owner, why didn’t you say you want seeds If the empty hand returns to the village, will their brothers still be able to hold their heads up in the future? They praised Haikou at the beginning.

It turned out that a few days ago, Tang Laosan of the village came back from visiting his sister in Lijia Village. He pulled two baskets of new things in a bullock cart and boasted to the villagers that this new thing was called sweet potatoes. It was divided into more than 100 taels. This thing is high-yield and easy to handle. The yield of several thousand catties per mu of land, as long as the seedlings are finely planted, planted in the field, harvested in autumn and sold to urban residents, what about one mu of land? You can also earn hundreds of taels, which is simply a huge profit.

Everyone is a native farmer, and they all have accounts in their hearts. Even a family of three or four are good farmers, with an income of only ten taels a year.How can this round thing sell for so much money?So, no one believed it.

Even the person who was usually at odds with Tang Laosan taunted him that he was crazy about money.

Tang Laosan couldn't help everyone booing and arguing loudly that there was an old lady in her sister's village who was grateful for saving a little widow from the south, so she brought out new seeds and took the whole village to plant them together.Last autumn, Baihuahua's money was distributed to the family. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone.

There was a young man in the village who worked as an errand boy in the city and had served his shopkeeper to the banquet. He remembered this kind of thing that they called pumpkins in private, and shouted a few words, which proved that Tang Laosan was not bragging.

Money moved people's hearts, and there was an uproar in the village immediately, and even the village head invited him to ask.

Tang Fa was honest, he only knew how to work the land, and didn't think much about it. At most, he was envious of Tang Laosan's good luck, but Tang Cai was quick-witted. He asked his eldest brother to discuss it, and remembered that his sister, whom he hadn't seen for many years, seemed to live in Lijiacun.

For so many years, the two of them got married and had a son, and then the son got married and had a son. With just a few acres of land and no other income, the family was already too poor.

A few years ago, when my parents were still alive, I wanted to go to my sister's place to play the autumn breeze, but when I heard that my sister was living with a little granddaughter, I couldn't get enough pancakes. They were afraid that they would be troubled by my sister, so they stopped thinking.Later, both parents passed away, and I even forgot that there was such a person as my sister.

Now that I have received such great news, I want to take the opportunity to go to Lijia Village.If you really find your sister, it depends on the situation. If you can't find it, you don't lose anything.

At that moment, the two brought their children and grandchildren, and drove the ox cart out the next morning. When a neighbor who got up early asked what they were doing, Tang Fa would not lie, and told them everything.

The villagers made fun of the two of them for being seduced by money. Tang Fa was stupid, but Tang Cai was famous for being mean and stingy.

Hearing those harsh words, he immediately jumped back and cursed, until the whole village knew that Brother Tang Facai was crazy about wanting to get rich.

A few people hurried on their way full of anger. They didn't expect to be brought here as soon as they entered Li's Village and asked a few words. Not to mention the tall and majestic house next to it, it was the house of my eldest sister in front of them. Two people can't cover it even if they save a lifetime of money.

When I meet my eldest sister and stay here, I will eat and drink well every day, enjoying the blessings like a fairy.

Tang Cai learned from the eldest sister that she was the old lady who got rich because she saved the widow.The old man almost jumped up for joy, even if the eldest sister said that the family had no seeds to share with him, he was not worried.Because the widow was saved by the elder sister, not to mention the seeds, but the money, as long as the elder sister is willing to speak, he can get a cart back.Therefore, he ate and drank with peace of mind, and spent more time talking with his elder sister about his childhood, waiting for the widow to come back.
Sure enough, the elder sister thought it was cheap, and the granddaughter gave her grandson two silver coins as soon as she came up, which was worth two or two. on the seeds.

Thinking of this, Tang Cai coughed again, with a guilty expression on his face, and said to the old lady, "Sister, the family is indeed going to plant land. My brother and I have been so poor that we can't have enough bread all these years. Help me I don't have any business with my eldest sister, and I have always felt ashamed to come to see her. In the past two years, my elder brother and I have not been in good health. We are afraid that if we really go one day, we haven't seen our eldest sister, so we have the cheek to come here. This Seeing that Eldest Sister is living a good life for a few days, we are also relieved, and we will have an explanation when we meet our parents underground in the future."

The old man's words were pitiful and touching, and the old lady shed tears immediately, and felt guilty for a moment. Could it be that the two brothers were really going to go home empty-handed and continue to be hungry year after year?
The old lady took out her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said with a choked voice, "Second brother, don't say that, I am a few years older than you and your eldest brother, and I am still alive and well, why did you go to see your father so early?" Mother? From now on, when the field is not busy, I often come to live with me for a few days. My life is much better now, and I can’t help much, but I can help Tang Ping and Tang An whoever marries a wife. .”
Annoyance flashed in Tang Cai's downcast eyes. He had already talked about this point, but the elder sister still refused to ask for the seeds?Immediately, the eyeballs rolled, and the sad expression on the face became more intense, "Okay, big sister, my big brother and I will definitely come to see you more when we are alive. My big brother and I want to sell all the chickens and pigs at home, and wait until autumn At that time, sweet potatoes were planted by Tang Laosan, so we asked him to come back and plant them next year. After earning money, we will build a new yard, and then take the elder sister to live with us for a few days, and also see our village. Has it changed over the decades?"

The old man's words this time really pierced the old lady's heart. She and Tang Cuini (Grandma Li's boudoir name) married into Lijia Village back and forth, but they lived a completely different life. Her fate was full of twists and turns. Tang Cuini had a good time, she married a wealthy family, a capable man, and a promising son.Although the two of them often walked around and got along well, how could she not be envious or jealous in her heart.
