Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

Chapter 12 Accepting Her as a Disciple
As night fell, the occasional dog barking echoed in the village, and the half moon in the night sky covered the body with thin clouds as a quilt to sleep lightly.

Nanmenyue came out of the village and headed straight up the mountain, with a lantern in her mouth to illuminate the road, her hands clenched the handles on both sides of the cart and she was struggling to pull it forward.

With concern in my heart, I didn't even dare to rest for a moment.

The birds and beasts in the mountains uttered low chirps from time to time, as if to encourage her.

When Nanmenyue walked to the marked entrance, Crescent Moon from the east also ran to the center of the night sky.The candles in the lantern flickered and flickered, and they were about to burn out.

She stopped the trolley, unloaded the rice bag, carried the hanging pot again, and walked down the mountain through the bushes with a lantern in her hand.

After Mrs. Zhuang put Qi Ying'er to sleep, she stood alone in front of the wooden house and waited. Seeing the fire coming in front of her, she stared straight.After confirming that the visitor was Nanmen Yue, she hurried forward to meet her and took the things in her hand.

"Ms. Zhou, I didn't make it difficult for you."

"She just wanted to make things difficult, but she didn't get a chance." Thinking of Zhou Ming'er's expression when she got up and saw the house burnt into a pile of carbon, she felt happy.

Mrs. Zhuang didn't know why she was so happy, but she was relieved to see her come back safely. She was afraid that Nanmenyue would abandon his family in this barren mountain.

Mr. Qi hadn't closed his eyes yet, and he was relieved to hear the voice of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from a distance.

Mrs. Zhuang carried the lantern into the wooden house, uncovered the lampshade, lit the pile of firewood by candlelight, and hung up the lantern after blowing out the candlelight.

There were a few fruits wrapped in leaves on the ground, they deliberately kept them for Nanmenyue, Mrs. Zhuang went outside the house with the wild fruits and handed them to Nanmenyue:
"You're hungry, let's eat a few fruits to satisfy your hunger." After Nanmenyue left, the old lady went to the mountain to pick them before it was dark. The fruits were not sweet, but a little bit astringent, but I didn't have to be picky when I was hungry. .

There are not many fruits, and I don't want to eat more.

Nanmenyue put the rice bag into the hanging pot and hung it by the door of the wooden house. Seeing that the old man Qi Yinger had fallen asleep and didn't plan to live and cook, she took the old woman's fruit and didn't care about getting dirty. Sent directly to the mouth.

The fruit was tasteless and tasted bitter after chewing. She didn't dare to taste it carefully, so she had to swallow it with a snort.

Seeing that it was getting late and he was too tired to move, he asked the old woman to rest early and pick up the things on the cart tomorrow.

Mrs. Zhuang was also tired, so she went into the house and lay down after a few whispers.

The mountain wind was particularly strong at night, and this was the windward part of the mountain. Nanmenyue felt a little cold sitting outside the house. After she finished eating the fruit, she didn't care about her dirty body, so she leaned against Qi Yinger's side to sleep past.

The next day it was bright, Nanmenyue went up to the top of the mountain, took out the machete from the cart, cut down the small shrubs along the entrance, and opened a path that the cart could pass through, and then carried the hoe The potholes were filled with mud and rocks.

After nearly an hour of busy work, a mountain road that can push a cart through is paved.

The sun gradually revealed its light through the clouds, the birds played in the mountains and forests, and the unknown wild flowers exuded a pleasant fragrance.It is estimated that such a scene can only be seen in Yuyang County, which is like spring all the year round.

Nanmenyue pushed the trolley slowly down the newly opened road, and pushed it to the front of the cabin. Mrs. Zhuang had already cooked the porridge. She dug a trough in the small mound in front of the cabin, just enough to put it down. The iron pot became a simple stove. The hanging pot over there was cooking porridge, and the fire was starting to cook here.

After cleaning the iron pot, pour a bowl of water to boil, pour the green vegetables brought back from Nanmenyue's work yesterday into the pot, boil for a while and pick them up, and then pour the small dried fish into the remaining boiling water to overheat.

Hot food, wash the lard bought yesterday and put it in a pot to boil the oil.

After finishing all these tasks, Nanmenyue had already unloaded all the things in the car. She cleaned the cart, raised the front of the cart, and laid the cart flat to become a temporary dining table.

She put the dishes warmed by the old lady on the table, put the bowls and chopsticks in the bucket, put the porridge boiled in the hanging pot into it, and called Qi Yinger and the old man out for breakfast.

Qi Ying'er was playing with a fire in the house, and when he heard his mother calling him, he ran out in a hurry, seeing his mother moved all the family's things to the mountain, he was excited and danced.

Before going to bed yesterday, he told his grandfather that he really liked this house, and he could watch the moon while sleeping, which made old man Qi dumbfounded.

Hearing the call, Mr. Qi also left the house on a temporary crutch. After taking a dose of medicine yesterday, the coccyx finally no longer hurts so much. With the help of this branch, he can walk with support.

When I went out, I saw that all the belongings of this family had been moved to this mountain by Nanmenyue. I felt mixed feelings. The good house was taken away. How could I have the face to meet the ancestors of the Qi family after death? .

Mrs. Zhuang served a bowl of porridge for him, and gave him half a piece of dried fish. Looking at the old man's sad face, she also guessed what he was thinking. She handed the porridge to him and persuaded him, "Don't think about it." , Wherever this person is, home is there."

"Yes, as long as there are people, there will be a home sooner or later."

Nanmenyue chimed in, she had already brought out all the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Qi family, and after breakfast, she and the old woman went up to the mountain to cut wood, took advantage of the good weather to dry the wooden sticks, and built a new house when the old man recovered from his injuries Yes, once the house is built, there will naturally be a home.

Mr. Qi let out a long sigh, resigned himself to his fate, took a few sips of porridge with his chopsticks, and suddenly remembered something, stopped his chopsticks, swallowed what was in his mouth, and said, "Daughter-in-law, what did you do last time?" Is it true that you want to learn woodwork? This work is very hard, so don’t give up halfway.”

"Father, are you asking this to teach me how to do woodwork?" Nanmenyue was flattered, and hurriedly put down her chopsticks and ran towards the old man.

The old man nodded firmly. Instead of letting this craft go down with him, it is better to pass it on to those who need it while he is still able to move it. After this incident, old man Qi regarded Nanmenyue from the bottom of his heart. own family.

When you are down and down, the only ones who will never leave you are your family.

Seeing that the old man agreed, Nanmenyue was so excited that she didn't even bother to eat breakfast. If she learned carpentry, she could not only help people repair flower gardens, but also build houses for people, order tables and chairs...

There are endless jobs and endless money, just thinking about it means that the future is bright.

Nanmenyue thought that learning how to do carpentry would be equivalent to holding a golden job, but she didn't know that Yuyang County had few fields but many skilled workers, and the carpentry market in Yuyang County was already saturated.

The reason why Nanmenyue was able to go to Luofeng's mansion to repair the flower garden was due to the old man's reputation and skills accumulated over the years. It's not just a carpenter who can earn money to support his family.
