Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 252 Brother Ah Da Became a Cultural Person
Early the next morning, Mu Ai got up on Xuanruan's bed, stretched her waist refreshed, touched Zou Baba's underwear, and knew that she fell asleep on Ouyang's back last night.

Slightly curled up the corners of her mouth, hiding the sweetness in her heart, reached out to find a set of lake green dress in the closet, and changed into it, opened the door and went out, called Chun Equinox Xiaoan to come in, washed and dressed, and chose a very emerald green hairpin to stick on her temples, It matches the dress perfectly.

Passing through the corner gate, the children got up early to practice martial arts and haven't come back yet, the yard is very quiet.Mu Ai wanted to cook something delicious, but felt sorry for the new dress she had just returned, so she simply got lazy and sent Chun Equinox and Xiao An to help.Kexin stays in the strange drama for the time being, and the small kitchen is temporarily in charge of a few of their big maids. The food taste is definitely not as good as Kexin's, but it is definitely not worse than the chef of the restaurant. , especially the girl Xiaoan, who usually follows the vernal equinox to help with trivial matters. The housekeeper Guo and his wife often tell each other their orders and teach them the rules.These days, she is absent. She often stays in the small kitchen. I don’t know if it’s because she won the compliment from her wife for making porridge for the first time, or because she really likes cooking. In short, the enthusiasm for learning to cook is out of control. Even if she is not on duty, she often wakes up early to help in the small kitchen.Of course, the craftsmanship has also improved.

As soon as the round table was put down and the food was not served, the children lined up neatly and sang "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" loudly with immature voices, and came in from outside the courtyard.

Wen Bo cheerfully put away the broom, as if he was afraid of scratching the little masters, Xia Zhi also ran out of the small kitchen, bluffing, half distressed and half complaining about how the children were covered in dirt again, and then took the broom with him. They went to wash their hands and change their clothes, and Ruyi Xiaomiao called Caiyun Zhuiyue to help them bring the dishes to the east wing and set the table.For a while, the yard was very lively, and the quiet and lonely just now was squeezed out. Mu Ai put away the book in her hand, drank the last sip of honey water in the cup, and led a few washed children together. Had breakfast.

Then I taught them mixed arithmetic for half an hour, read poems for half an hour, and finally told a little story at the request of a few children, and then asked Dayu to take his younger siblings to start writing big characters.Although she is used to using gel pens and ballpoint pens, she doesn't like the wordy writing brushes. When she was in college, she enrolled in elective courses with enthusiasm, and finally gave up after only barely persisting for a year.

However, in this time and space, brushes are used as the main writing tool. No, it should be said that except for her, everyone only uses brushes. Even when the spring equinox copied manuscripts, they only used pencils at the beginning. For the purpose of practicing calligraphy, she also started to write small regular script, which was so delicate and elegant that she really envied her for a long time.Therefore, the temporary post, which she did not pay much attention to before, was put on the schedule as a separate subject by her.Every day, arithmetic, poetry, and copybooks each account for one-third of the study time, so as to ensure that the children will be able to practice good calligraphy in the future, so that they will not be laughed at by outsiders.

As usual, I took the vernal equinox and went out from the back door. Turning right for tens of meters, I saw my family’s ten mu of fertile land. I haven’t seen it for half a month, and the crops in the field have grown much taller. Of course, the crops are not wheat or corn, but sesame, peanuts, Chili and watermelon.

Sesame peanuts are growing very well, and small milky white flowers are blooming on the chili seedlings more than a foot high. When the breeze blows, they faintly sway under the green leaves, like a cute and shy little girl hiding behind her mother.Count the number of flowers carefully, and you can predict that there will be a good harvest in autumn.

The master and the servant turned to the watermelon field again, thinking about those melon seedlings in the Shuan Shuan field, with vines and leaves stretching around, so many that people had nowhere to lay their feet.But each watermelon seedling has only a few seven or eight leaves, two or three simple vines, and occasionally a small piece of black soil is exposed where the planting is thin.

Chun Equinox was a little worried, and asked softly, "Ma'am, is this watermelon not growing well, should I tell Ah Da and the others to water more and fertilize it?"

When Mu Ai heard her talking about fertilizing, she shook her head quickly. She didn't want to pick a watermelon when it was ripe and cut it, only to find that there was still a piece of manure sticking to it. That would be really disgusting.

Ah Da and Ah Er brothers carried the shovel along the canal and walked all the way along the canal. When they encountered a place blocked by mud, they easily lifted the mud to the side of the canal and dredged the waterway.At the end of June in the lunar calendar, the rainy season is coming soon. If the canals are not cleaned up, the fields will easily be flooded in case of heavy rain.Housekeeper Guo told the two of them several times a day how important the new crops in this field were, and they themselves were simple and honest, not fools. The new vegetables they planted last year were so popular in the city that their master They don't know how much silver they have earned, but they can be sure from the generous rewards given to them, it is definitely not a lot.

Besides, a few days ago, the two of them started writing agricultural books with Steward Guo again, saying that if they were printed and distributed, the common people in Baihua would learn from them when they planted these new vegetables.The two were so excited that they didn't sleep all night, and they got up in the middle of the night and kowtowed to the moon to their parents in Huang Quanxia, ​​thanking them for blessing them to follow a good master, not only to read, but also to be involved in such a glorious event.

Therefore, the two of them worked extraordinarily hard these days, and almost treated these rare crops in the field as their own children, the one was careful, the other was serious and persistent.

At this time, seeing my mistress came to check in the field, she hurried forward three steps and two steps to salute, the two of them didn't say anything, they just said, "Hi Ma'am." They didn't know what to say anymore .

Mu Ai has always had an inexplicable trust in the two of them. Simple and honest people like them don’t flirt with flattery or change their minds. More trustworthy than smart people.

Mu Ai nodded with a gentle smile, then remembered the doubts just now at the vernal equinox, so she took it out and asked them, pointing to the small watermelon eggs in the field, "The watermelon leaves in this field are rarer than the melon seedlings on Miss Shuan's side. Much more, is it because there is not enough fertilizer?"

A Dalian waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, ma'am, the book says no more fat at this time."

After finishing speaking, as if she was afraid that Mu Ai would not believe her, she turned her head and said to Ah Er, "Take out the book and show it to Madam."

In response, Ah Er took out a light gray cotton bag from his bosom, and carefully took out a booklet sewn with thick thread with his big, thick hands. Ah Da took it, turned one page and handed it to the Mu Ai said in a little embarrassment, "Madam, it's not that I want to refute you, it's written in the book."

Mu Ai took it, and looked down carefully, the paper was covered with walnut-sized calligraphy, the handwriting was not beautiful, but it was very neat, and it could be seen that the person who wrote it was very serious.It briefly recorded the precautions and some technical points during the watermelon planting process. In the official spring, she and the vernal equinox shared the work and handed it over to Guo Huai.The writing style of the spring equinox is very strong, delicate but not soft, which is very popular with Mu Ai. Therefore, this book is definitely not the original, and it is very likely that the two brothers copied it by hand.

Mu Ai pointed to the pages of the book and asked, "You guys copied this by hand, right?" These words were questions, but the tone was very certain.

Ah Da and Ah Er seemed a little shy because they showed their ugly brushwork to Madam, scratched the back of their heads, and replied, "Yes, Madam."

Mu Ai nodded and encouraged, "Well, the writing is not bad, the handwriting is very neat, I remember that when you first entered the mansion, you couldn't even write your own name, but now you can copy books, it shows that you have put in a lot of effort to learn calligraphy Yes, this is worthy of praise. Of course, if you have spare time in the future, you still need to practice lower case letters more often, as there are only a few characters on a page, not to mention a waste of paper, and it is not convenient to open it."

Ah Er smiled stupidly, "My elder brother and I have big hands, and we are impatient to write the small characters. Sometimes we squat on the side of the field to record the growth of crops and so on, and we have to hold the inkstone module, which is really troublesome. The pen is used."

His words reminded Mu Ai that last year it was the vernal equinox and followed the whole process of recording the rice growth. She provided her with a pencil and a notebook at the time. Now, there is a big brother in charge of the field, so she forgot about it, and it is difficult for the two A rough and bold man, he has to go to the fields every day with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

She sank into the space to take a look. A few days ago, because the children were good at arithmetic, no one rewarded her with a pencil. Including the rewards originally given to a few girls, she consumed less than 200 pencils in total. She did it for Ye Little brother, I bought a few large boxes in the supermarket, there are more than [-], and there is also a large box of colorful toy erasers, and now only one-tenth of it is used, so she didn't feel bad, and took out three Pencil, two flower-shaped erasers came out, and said, "This is a pencil. Take it back and sharpen one end. You can write directly. If you make a mistake, you can use this eraser to clean it and rewrite it. It is very convenient to use. You don’t need to bring pens and ink when you go to the field to record in the future. You keep two pencils and an eraser, and bring the rest to Steward Guo, who should have a lot of things to record at any time.”

Ah Da took it with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Madam." Then he fiddled with it over and over again, with a look of novelty.Ah Er felt itchy in his heart and wanted to take a look at it, but felt that it was not easy for Madam to do anything here.

Mu Ai smiled slightly, "Keep busy." Then she took the vernal equinox and left, Ah Da and Ah Er saluted again, watching the master go away, Ah Er immediately jumped up and shouted, "Brother, show me quickly, show me."

Ah Da smiled and handed the pencil to him, then took an eraser and put it under his nose to sniff. There was a sweet scent, and he asked wonderingly, "Why does this thing my wife gave you smell so fragrant? Could it be mixed with spices?" Then, he was about to stuff the rubber into his mouth, as if he wanted to taste it himself.
