Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 82
"Of course, it's too late today, and it's inconvenient to go on the road. You should also prepare, and a carriage will be sent to take you back tomorrow morning." Mu Ai stretched out her hand to pull her up. After thinking about the addition of Shuan Shuan and Simba at home, there was a shortage of manpower. He also said, "Go and wash up, and then call Xia Zhi and the others, I have something to say."

Chun Equinox straightened her hair a little, and pushed the door out with a happy face.

The afternoon sun slanted in, without the mania of summer, and more of the coolness of autumn, making Mu Ai squint her eyes and stare blankly for a while.I casually took out this photo album from the space, and flipped through the photos of my grandparents and grandparents when I was a child, and my eyes were a little moist.Maybe she really knows that she can't go back in this life, two time and space apart, how far away is it, not to mention the grandparents who loved her since she was a child, even the pair of unscrupulous parents, she still misses now and then occasionally.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door, she put away the photo album, leaned lazily on the soft couch, watched the four of them come in, greeted her, pointed to the stool for them to sit down, and said, "Just now I saw the vernal equinox I was crying, and after asking why, I found out that I have been ignoring some things. The four of you are not from the south like everyone else, and you must all be near Kao Castle. Now that the autumn harvest in our house is over, there is no major event to deal with. I'm going to let you take turns to go home and have a look."

After hearing this, Winter Solstice was obviously pleasantly surprised, but the eyes of Summer Solstice and Autumnal Equinox were somewhat complicated.

Xia Zhi has the most forthright temper, he doesn't like to hold back words, so he just knelt down and said, "Ma'am, I am straightforward and reckless, I shouldn't refuse to receive such kindness from you, but my mother died early , the stepmother just gave birth to a little brother after she got married, she said that the family was short of money, and sold me within half a month. My father didn't say a word. , if they know that I have received the favor of my wife and live so well, they will definitely come to ask me for money every day. So, I really don't want to go back. "

She spoke happily, without any nostalgia, but the hidden tears in her eyes still betrayed her. Who would miss home, but that home hurt her heart too much.

With the beginning of the summer solstice, the autumn equinox also told his life experience.She was the only child in her family, and her father died of illness, and her mother couldn't bear the shock and went with her. The relatives in the family decided to sell the five acres of land in the family to bury her parents. Unexpectedly, it was not enough in the end, so she had to go with her uncle Went to Ren Yazi, sold himself, and then properly buried his parents.Now when she goes home, she is only facing a group of hypocritical "relatives".

Everyone didn't expect that Qiufen's life experience was much more pitiful than Xiazhi's. It's no wonder that she didn't complain at all on weekdays, and her gentle and kind personality was endearing.Mu Ai didn't know whether to say that she was too easy to bully, or to comfort her.

The winter solstice is similar to the vernal equinox. My family name is Wang. There is an older brother and two younger sisters. My parents are honest and honest. They spend their whole lives guarding two acres of Susukida. , the parents had no choice but to sell her, not because they didn't love her, but in the old man's point of view, inheriting the incense of their Zhao family was more important than anything else.

Mu Ai rubbed her spleen and stomach, which had already felt better, and said softly, "The spring equinox and the winter solstice will go home for two days tomorrow, and after the autumn equinox, I will bake a few snacks and bring them two big boxes, and each person will pick two suitable horses. Take back the cotton cloth. Our mansion is a little short of manpower now. Aunt Guo in the kitchen needs to add one or two helpers, preferably older people, and Shuan Shuan’s yard also needs to add two young children aged 20 or [-]. Girl, Simba needs two seven or eight-year-old servants by his side. As for Steward Guo, he should add four to five strong laborers. I originally planned to ask the steward to buy from Ren Yazi, but this time when you go home, there are suitable ones. Candidates should be brought back, and the money for selling themselves is [-] taels, no matter how big or small, but there is one thing, a death contract must be signed."

On the spring equinox and the winter solstice, they kowtowed their heads with joy, they came to the house, they had never been beaten, they ate well and lived well, and they had all the clothes and jewelry in four seasons.Now that the wife has spoken, not only can they have a relative to work with, but they can eat less and earn more money at home.

Mu Ai saw the envy of Xia Zhi and Autumn Equinox, and said that the two of them could not go home, so they each went to the storeroom to pick out their favorite cloth and make a favorite dress as compensation. The two girls showed off their new clothes With a smiling face, I quickly saluted and thanked you.

Mu Ai ordered the spring equinox and winter solstice to go to the warehouse to pick out fabrics, and asked them to bring back a box of silver jewelry. They picked a peony-shaped set from the middle and paid two taels of silver. She personally sent it to Liu's house to add makeup to the girl, and then went back to the house and took the two children to sleep for another half an hour.

Xia Zhi came to report that Xiaohong and Erya came to talk to Shuan Shuan. Shuan Shuan rubbed his newly opened eyes, got out of bed and wanted to run back to his yard, and was persuaded by the spring equinox to freshen up. Let her go back.Mu Ai cursed with a smile, Mao girl.Simba also woke up at this time, yelling to pee, Mu Ai had to put a pair of shoes on him, and let Xia Zhi carry him to the bathroom next door for convenience.

Autumn Equinox brought in a plate of dim sum with a smile, including cake, mung bean cake, red bean paste cake and pork and cabbage steamed stuffed bun. He asked his wife if it was suitable, and said that he had just sent a plate to Miss Shuan to entertain guests.

Mu Ai nodded in satisfaction. Poor people may not like those beautiful snacks. These delicious and filling foods are more popular, so she told her to steam more buns. If she was too full at noon, she would eat some at night Forget about the easy-to-digest black rice porridge and buns.

Then I remembered the ten acres of land in the village, so I ordered Qiufen to pack a box of buns and let Qingfeng send it to Mr. Wang. By the way, I would like to ask Er Niu when the sweet potatoes will start to be packed.The autumnal equinox has come one by one, so I will not mention it when I go down to be busy.

Let’s just talk about the early morning of the second day, the spring equinox and the winter solstice took the carriage driven by Muwu and Muliu and drove all the way, and finally arrived at the east gate of Kao City at the beginning of Sishi. At the same time, they said goodbye to each other, and quickly walked back to the house they had been away for a year with two big bags.

From a distance, I saw a tall and slender girl drying clothes in the yard of my house. There was a white patch on the fat blue cloth, which was very conspicuous. The girl immediately turned her head and called out to her eldest sister in surprise. She rushed forward, picked her up and started crying. "Sister, why are you back? I miss you so much, I thought I would never see you again!"

"Silly girl, isn't eldest sister coming back to see you? What about my younger sister and younger brother, I brought you some delicious food." Chun Equinox wiped away the unstoppable tears, and dragged her into the courtyard.

"They are all in the house, and mother is also at home." The two entered the door while talking, a middle-aged woman in her 40s was mending clothes on the bed, and two children beside her were grabbing two pieces of broken wood to play with. Son, suddenly saw a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress come into the room, the three of them were taken aback, but the two children first recognized it as their eldest sister, and immediately rushed forward, the woman sat up straight with excitement, and opened her eyes. He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, tears fell first.

The spring equinox called out to her mother, put the package in her hand on the bed, and then took her hand and shed tears. Her mother looked at her daughter's clothes carefully while crying, and felt a little better. She can't go on anymore, and she doesn't want to sell her eldest sister out. This year, every few days, she would dream of her daughter being beaten or bullied by the master, and when she woke up, she would cry and wet half of the pillow. It was also because of this that her cough became more and more serious. The more serious it got, the doctor said that it was too much thought, which buried the root of the disease, and the cost of taking medicine and spending money dragged down the family even more difficult.

"Eldest sister, I'm sorry, mother. Where did you get sold to? How did you get the chance to come back today? Did you suffer some kind of grievance?" Sun Liu groped her daughter up and down, and even wanted to lift her sleeve to see if there was any scar.

Chun Equinox hurriedly stopped her, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, the gods bless me, I set up a good house, eat well and sleep well, didn't you realize that my daughter is getting fat ?"

Sun Liushi nodded, touched the material of her clothes, and there was a smile on her face. "It's fat, and the material of the clothes is good. You haven't suffered, so my mother feels better."

"Where is my father, why isn't he at home?" Chun Equinox looked around and asked.Mrs. Sun Liu sighed, "He went to Mrs. Zhang's house in the back street to help repair the house today. I will ask your sister to call him back later."

"No need, mother, it's fine to see dad again tonight. I can stay at home for one night this time, and the carriage will pick me up at noon tomorrow." Spring Equinox stopped the impatient girl who was about to go out.

Looking at the empty table, knowing that no one in the family had eaten, she pulled her younger siblings who were standing beside her and biting their fingers, and looked at her eagerly. She reached for the big green bag, opened it swiftly, and pulled out two wooden boxes. , which is full of food.

She shared a few meat buns with the three younger siblings, and seeing how delicious they were, she was both happy and distressed.Turning around, he opened another package, took out a set of probably new, light green dress with white satin lace, and handed it to the second sister who had just swallowed a bun, "Our wife made this for me in spring, second sister slightly You can wear it after changing it." Erya hurriedly rubbed her hands on her body, and then took it carefully, sticking her face repeatedly with her favorite.

The spring equinox pushed the remaining two pieces of fabrics in the package to her mother, "Mother, these two pieces of fabrics were told by our wife, I went to the warehouse to choose them myself, one piece was used to make new clothes for my younger brothers and sisters, and the other piece was kept for me." I'll make it for you. And..." He took out a brand new purse from his bosom and stuffed it into Sun Liu's hand, "Here are three taels of silver and a set of silver jewelry, all of which I save in my daily life. You can put it away, and I will get it back for you when I get the silver reward at the end of the year."
