Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 116 Qiu Yongzheng is gone!
After Qiu Yongzheng took Xu Daqiang away, Xu Xiaomi comforted the frightened mother and grandmother.

Grandpa shook his head helplessly and said, "Oh! This family is a disaster!"

Qiu Qiming didn't say anything, just stared fiercely at the door.Now, he's out of any mood, he just wants to pull that Xu Daqiang over to kill him!
After Xu Erqiang and Qiu Yongzheng came back, they sat down to eat together. There were nearly twenty people in the room, and no one spoke.Only the sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl was heard.

After the meal, Xu Xiaomi asked the eldest cousin, the third cousin and the fourth cousin to go to the mill by the river to press oil.The rest of the people were organized and went to the mountains to dig coal and hunt together.

When he came back in the evening, Mu Niu brought six baskets of coal, a dozen rabbits and a few pheasants.It can be regarded as a rewarding experience!
The next morning, Xu Xiaomi got up early to go to practice in the mountains, and Qiu Yongzheng followed her as soon as she left.

Seeing that Xu Xiaomi was about to walk into the woods, Qiu Yongzheng hurriedly shouted: "Xiaomi! Xiaomi! Wait a minute!"

Xu Xiaomi turned around and looked at Qiu Yongzheng behind him and asked, "Brother Qiu, what can I do for you?"

Qiu Yongzheng blushed and said, "I...I, where are you going now? Can I walk with you?"

Seeing him blushing again, Xu Xiaomi looked at him amusedly and said, "Yes! I don't know where Brother Qiu wants to go?"

Qiu Yongzheng saw Xu Xiaomi looking at him with such a smile, his face blushed again, he quickly lowered his head, looked at his hands and said softly: "I... I, I came to ask you to forgive me, I didn't pass you With your permission, I brought your uncle back yesterday! And..."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi hurriedly said: "It's okay! Even if you don't send him here, he will take advantage of our relationship and ask you to bring him back. It's not your fault, Brother Qiu, don't blame yourself."

When Qiu Yongzheng heard Xu Xiaomi said that he was not to blame, his mood immediately improved a lot.

Smiling, she continued: "Sister Xiaomi! I...I am going back to the capital today, and... I don't know, when will I have the chance to meet? You, you, Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, and brothers and sisters, Take care of yourself!"

Xu Xiaomi asked a little sadly after hearing this: "I'm leaving today? Why did you say it now?"

After hearing this, Qiu Yongzheng just opened his eyes and looked at the big eyes on her small face.Seeing that his eyes were a little blurred again, Xu Xiaomi hurriedly dragged him back!

Xu Xiaomi also knew that after Qiu Yongzheng left, when would he be able to meet again?
So, she pulled Qiu Yongzheng to the door of her room, walked into the room by herself, and took out a few pairs of cloth gloves that she usually made in her free time.

Putting it in Qiu Yongzheng's hand, he said softly, "Brother Qiu, I don't have any valuables. These are a few pairs of cloth gloves I made myself. You can take them to prevent freezing when it's cold."

Qiu Yongzheng took the cloth glove in his hand, held it tightly, and looked affectionately at Xu Xiaomi's bright eyes and pink face.

He really wanted to reach out and touch that cute little face, but he was afraid that Xu Xiaomi would not like it, so he could only bury this thought deeply in his heart.

At this time, he remembered a piece of blood jade that he had carried with him since he was a child.He hurriedly reached around his neck to take off the jade tied by the red string, and put it around Xu Xiaomi's neck.

Said: "Sister! This piece of jade was brought to me by my mother since I was born. Now I give it to you. You must keep it well! Grow up well, and wait until I come back to see you!"

Xu Xiaomi heard him say that this piece of jade was so important to him, so she hurriedly reached for it, wanting to return it to him.Qiu Yongzheng reached out to hold her hand and said: "You just keep it well, grow up well, and wait for me at home to see you!"

Xu Xiaomi doesn't know what to do?When his hand touched his own, there was actually a feeling like an electric shock.She was shocked and froze on the spot.

After Qiu Yongzheng finished speaking and turned around to leave, she came to her senses and hurriedly chased after him.

When Xu Xiaomi chased him to the gate, he saw Qiu Yongzheng riding a tall maroon horse, and he had already run a long way!

She stood at the door with her hands on the door frame, and said softly, "Brother Qiu! Take care!"

The day after Qiu Yongzheng left, Myna Qingwu came back!It told Xu Xiaomi what he saw the assassin in Dingzhou.It scared Xu Xiaomi terribly.

When Qing Wu said that Qiu Zhongxiang still wrote back to Qiu Yongzheng, Xu Xiaomi remembered that Qiu Yongzheng had already returned to the capital yesterday.

She fed Qing Wu some food and told him to chase Qiu Yongzheng quickly. After Qing Wu flew away, Xu Xiaomi was very concerned.

He was afraid that it would not be able to catch up with Qiu Yongzheng's fast horse, and he was also afraid that Qing Wu would encounter a hunter and be hurt.Anyway, I was restless all day long.

During this time, Xu Xiaomi's mill business is getting better day by day!However, there is no charge, because all the villagers in Xujia Village come to grind the noodles and rice!

It has been raining in the sky, and the water level of the Daqing River is rising higher and higher. Fortunately, a ditch was dug at the Hulukou some time ago. Otherwise, not only the river embankment will be flooded this year, and maybe not a few acres of fertile land in Xujia Village will be spared. .

However, ten days later, Xu Xiaomi received the first lime business in the county, which was about [-] tons for three thousand stones.

At this time, Qinglong Town came to guard again, surnamed Jiang.As soon as Jiang Zhenshou came, he encouraged the original merchants to continue to do business. If they had no money, they could go to the Zhenshou Mansion to borrow money, and they would pay a few cents of interest for one or two silvers a year.

Xu Xiaomi happily inquired about it. There is a big river outside Jinquan County called Yunyang River.She asked her third uncle and four cousins ​​to go to the county town to burn, which reduced the long-distance travel between them.

It was also convenient to deliver lime, and the third aunt also went to cook for them. On the day of leaving, Xu Xiaomi found Yu Zhimo and rented a carriage directly, and brought all the utensils, clothes and food in the car.

Xu Xiaomi also went. When he went to the county town, Xu Xiaomi went to meet the person who bought lime with him, and that person was Wu Yue.In fact, Xu Xiaomi had already guessed it was him, but he couldn't tell everyone.

Wu Yue made another brick-burning business with Xu Xiaomi, because Xu Xiaomi said that the bricks she fired were red, Wu Yue didn't believe it, and immediately said that if the bricks she fired were really red, he would buy them all. .

In order to earn more money, Xu Xiaomi asked him to buy fast land first, and asked his third uncle and cousins ​​to make brick embryos first, and after burning a kiln of bricks, he showed it to Wu Yue, who was satisfied and asked them to burn a few more bricks. Kiln bricks.

Then the lime burning started, and when Xu Xiaomi returned home, it was already ten days later!
At this time, Xujia Village was covered with golden yellow, and when the wind blew by, the layers of wheat waves made people's eyes dazzled!

Seeing that Mushroom's family is about to start harvesting, Xu Xiaomi's family only has two acres of Susukida this year, and they won't be able to harvest much wheat.

Xu Xiaomi thought that the farming season was about to begin, and Grandpa and the others would definitely have to go back to harvest.However, after they left, there were not enough people in my family!This is how to do ah?

Xu Xiaomi was restless, and couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked her grandfather, "Grandpa! How much wheat do you have to harvest?"

Grandpa Zhou Xuewu touched his beard after hearing this, thought for a while and replied: "Probably, there are forty acres!"

Xu Xiaomi widened his eyes and asked loudly, "Forty acres? So much?"

Grandpa smiled and replied: "Well! There are so many!"

Xu Xiaomi asked again: "Then how did you harvest before? What happens when it rains?"

Grandpa patted Xu Xiaomi's head and asked with a smile, "Heh... why are you asking this? That's what adults do."

Seeing that Grandpa didn't tell her, Xu Xiaomi said, "I just want to know how you harvested it! Grandpa, just tell me!"

"Hmm! Really want to know?" Grandpa looked at her with interest and asked again.

Xu Xiaomi nodded quickly and said, "Yes! I really want to know!"

"When it's the wheat harvest season, the adults and children in the family have to use it! The adults are in charge of the harvest, and the children go to the fields to glean ears of wheat.

The adults cut and bundled the wheat first, then took it to the drying ground to dry in the sun. The mill grinds the wheat out of the ears, and then let the wind blow the husks clean, and the wheat is harvested!

This wheat is the hardest!It is ground out, because there are too many wheats in the sun-drying field, and if it is not dried, it will not be ground out. If it is unfortunate, it will rain for a few days!Wheat will sprout on oranges, and the wheat will be destroyed.

So every year!Everyone is looking forward to the wheat harvest, but at the same time they are most afraid of the wheat harvest. "

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi asked, "Is there any way, as long as the wheat doesn't bring grass back?"

"Haha... no! I've never heard of it!"

Grandpa looked at Xu Xiaomi amusedly and replied.

Xu Xiaomi thought that when he was a child, he grew up in the countryside. At that time, he saw adults threshing wheat with semi-mechanized mixing buckets. The scene of threshing millet is vivid in his memory!
In that case, part of the labor force can be saved... Yes!Now, let grandpa and uncles make some fake mixing buckets.At that time, they will be taken to Guilin Village, and the wheat will be harvested and returned home to dry and store in a few days.

In this way, the burnt lime will not be affected, and the wheat can be taken home quickly, killing two birds with one stone!Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomi couldn't help laughing!

Seeing her like this, grandpa Zhou Xuewu shouted in fright: "Girl! Girl! What's the matter with you?"

Xu Xiaomi looked at Grandpa with a smile and said, "Grandpa! You should harvest wheat these days, right?"

Zhou Xuewu looked at her and thought: Should she answer this nonsensical question?
At this time, seeing that Grandpa didn't answer, Xu Xiaomi grabbed the corner of his clothes with her hand and asked again: "Grandpa! Shouldn't your family's wheat be harvested too?"

Zhou Xuewu saw her asking again, knowing that if she didn't give her an answer today, she might keep asking.So, he said helplessly: "Not yet! At least it will take more than ten days!"

Xu Xiaomi was even happier when she heard it, and laughed out loud.

Zhou Xuewu looked at her strangely and asked, "Girl! What are you so happy about?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaomi didn't answer his question. He stood up and ran to his room, saying, "Grandpa! I'll come and find you later!"
