The grand lady who time-traveled became a hot mom

Chapter 95

Sow early and reap early.The large paddy fields in Linjia Village have just started to harvest rice flowers. Fang Yumin's three-acre rice field has already caught rice flower fish and sold them to restaurants. When everyone starts fishing, her family's rice will be harvested soon.

The corn in the dry land has also blossomed and set ears, and the maturity time of the crops seems to have been carefully calculated: the soybeans planted alternately with the corn have already matured earlier, and the peanuts and sweet potatoes can also be harvested. Waiting for these harvests , Then the rice is also mature, and when the rice fields are leveled, the corn can also be picked.

Just like last year, Fang Yumin asked Lin Qiulai to hire 10 strong laborers in Linjia Village to help with harvesting.

Sweet potatoes, soybeans, mung beans, peanuts and other crops are all piled up in the sauce garden to dry and store.The next step is to plow the dry land deeply, dig and bury the fertilizer; then it is to harvest the rice with all its strength. After the rice is brought back, it is followed by deep digging of the rice field, building a high foundation, spreading plant ash, filling the rice field with water, and burying it in the field. Ten days after the rice pile rots and decomposes into fertilizer, it can be leveled into a fish pond and fish can be raised for the winter.

When the busy season comes, the children don't have to go to school anymore.Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang were at home helping Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin turn over rice, peanuts, and soybeans.Fang Yumin was also very busy, not only arranging the renovation of the bathroom and toilet in the new house, but also doing housework, but she took the time to set up a line with Shopkeeper Jin to negotiate the purchase of dried fish for Dabao Dad and Xiao Zhu Dad.

Before selling the ancient barbecue recipe, Fang Yumin didn't have a lot of money in his hand, and he was still not at ease, so he could earn as much as he could from the price difference between the purchase and sale of dried fish.But it was different now, Fang Yumin herself was very busy, so she directly asked them to negotiate.Dad Xiaobao and Dad Xiaozhu are both honest people. When making dried fish, they still use more than two catties of fish to marinate and dry according to what Fang Yumin said last year, so the dried fish they make is thick and flavorful.Buying such high-quality dried fish at a low price, and getting the recipe given by Fang Yumin for free, Shopkeeper Jin is also very happy.

When the villagers finish their work on the rice field, Fang Yumin's family can pick the corn again...

After being so busy for almost two months, in mid-October, all the farm work was finally completed.Lin Qiulai was the hardest one, but it was not easy for Fang Yumin and the two children. The whole family was dark and thin. Being a farmer is really hard work!
"Qiulai, let's take our children to the county to see our new house tomorrow." Fang Yumin suggested to Lin Qiulai during dinner: "After we bought the house, we started farming, and Xiaoming and Xiaoyang haven't gone yet. I've seen it."

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang looked at Lin Qiulai excitedly after hearing this, Lin Qiulai nodded hurriedly: "Okay, let's go there early tomorrow morning."

"Well, let's start early. The new house needs to be tidied up again. The quilt covers and chair cushions that the second sister-in-law and Xiaohong helped us make last time should also be brought over. Decoration. Take some food and seasonings and put them away."

Lin Qiulai nodded: "Okay, tell me later what you need to bring, we'll tie them all up in the car tonight, put on the ox and start off tomorrow morning."

Fang Yumin thought for a while, and then said to Xiaoming and Xiaoyang: "You also bring some books, pens, ink and paper, and after tomorrow, you also arrange your study and room, and I will take you to the new residence in a few days. gone."

"Really?" Xiao Ming jumped up first, and then asked: "Mother, do you mean that we won't go to school with Mr. Tian?"

Xiaoyang also looked at Fang Yumin, waiting for her answer.

The corner of Fang Yumin's mouth turned up slightly: "The weather is starting to get cold, I don't want you to walk for an hour to go to school every day. The two of you will stay there and study hard. After the new year, mother will arrange for you to go to school in the county .”

After hearing this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but look at Lin Qiulai, and asked, "Mother, you live in the county with us, what about dad?"

"You two brothers will live in the new house before the Chinese New Year, and your father and I will stay here." Fang Yumin looked at Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang, and said, "You are not young anymore, it is time to learn to be independent. Then you have to be independent Arrange time for study and life, and keep your home clean and orderly. Father and mother cannot be with you all your life, and you have to learn to be independent from now on.”

"Yes!" Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang were flustered when they heard Fang Yumin's words, but at the same time they were very excited.They are all half-grown boys, and they have reached the age to have their own ideas.

"Xiaoyang, don't rely on your younger brother for everything. You have to do the housework together. Remember, if Xiao Ming doesn't know how to do it, you have to teach him to do it instead of helping him. Do you understand?"

Xiao Yang nodded: "I understand, mother, don't worry."

Xiao Ming was a little unhappy, he pouted and complained: "Mom, what are you talking about? When did I ask my brother to do things for me?"

Fang Yumin smiled and patted his head, and said: "Xiao Ming is good, everyone in the village knows it, and mother knows it too. It's just that your brother Xiaoyang loves you very much, and mother is afraid that he will do everything for you, so I remind you Take a moment. Remember, Yiduo is not overwhelming, the more you know, the more you will be able to think of solutions to whatever difficulties you encounter in the future.”

"Hey, follow the teachings of the guide!" Xiao Ming suddenly bowed to Fang Yumin, making a Qing court ceremony.Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Lin Qiulai held Fang Yumin's hand and squeezed it. His eyes were full of admiration and love, and his face was full of happy smiles. His wife is really great!
Fang Yumin smiled, her heart was also sweet.She waved to the children and said, "Go and pack quickly, and bring some clothes and everything."

"it is good."

Seeing that Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang had entered the house, Fang Yumin said to Lin Qiu: "Our family has to buy a carriage. In the future, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang will use it to go to school, and we will often run back and forth. It is inconvenient to use an ox cart. And Our family also has a lot of land, so it’s better to use cattle to plow the fields.”

"Carriage?" Lin Qiulai raised his eyebrows. He blinked and asked, "Horses are very expensive. Can't we use mule carts?"

"Mule carts are good for transporting goods, but their classmates will look down on them if they use mule carts to send Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang to school. Since we all bought houses in the East District, don't care about spending some money on some facades Decorate." Fang Yumin seriously explained to Lin Qiulai: "Look at our two children who are well-educated, smart and good-looking, I certainly hope that they can make friends with some children from a scholarly family in the school. .dont you agree?"

Lin Qiulai couldn't help but nodded when he heard that, he still understood that people depend on clothes, and trees depend on bark.

Fang Yumin went on to say: "Our family's soy sauce garden will be handed over to Xiaohua and the second brother's family in the future, and I will only focus on quality. From now on, you don't have to do the work in our family's field yourself, hire someone to sow and harvest , or rent it out. You have done a good job in promotion, but you can’t bury your talent. Our sauce can’t be sold only in Nantou County, it’s better to push it to neighboring counties, and you will be responsible for our family’s It would be best to open up the market for sauces. Ah Qing is also quite capable, ask him if he wants to work with you?"

Lin Qiulai, who was affirmed by his wife, was very happy, but... Lin Qiulai looked at Fang Yumin for a long time, and then asked, "You mean our family will start a business in the future?"

"Yeah." Fang Yumin nodded, and said, "Business is quick to make money. Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang will spend a lot of money in their careers in the future. But our family is from Lin Family Village, so it's not considered a businessman. What do you think how?"

Lin Qiulai smiled: "I have no objection, just follow what the lady said."

Fang Yumin shook Lin Qiulai's hand back, and said, "Then let's clean up too, we have to get up early tomorrow."

"Ah."

Before dawn the next day, Lin Qiulai was already up to make breakfast.When Fang Yumin and Xiaoming and Xiaoyang got up, the sweet corn porridge was heating up in the pot, and fried eggs, kimchi, and pot stickers were already placed on the table.

After breakfast, Lin Qiulai and his family boarded an ox cart and set off for Nantou County.It was still early and the farming season was busy, so I didn't see many villagers along the way.Even if there are a lot of things in the car, no one comes to ask whether it is moving or not.Fang Yumin relaxed and dozed off while sitting in the bullock cart with her two sons.

Lin Qiulai drove an ox cart into Nantou County and crossed the stone road to the innermost alley before stopping.Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang looked up, only to see that they were already in front of a big mahogany door with green tiles and an arched door handle with two animal heads.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang got off the bullock cart, still a little in disbelief.They raised their heads and looked at it.I saw a wooden plaque with the word "Confucian Garden" written vigorously on the big red wooden door, and two smaller characters on the lower right: Linfu.

Xiaoming knew that this wooden plaque was written by his mother for Mrs. Tian, ​​and then Lin Qiulai personally printed these characters on the wooden board and carved them bit by bit, and then painted them layer by layer with ink.Now that the wooden plaque is hung up, it looks very atmospheric.

Lin Qiulai got out of the car and unlocked the door, pushed the gate open, and then pulled the car into the yard with the ox.Only then did Xiao Ming come to his senses. He shook Fang Yumin's arm and asked happily, "Mother, is this our house?"

Fang Yumin raised her eyebrows and smiled, it seemed that Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang liked it very much.

Lin Qiulai closed the door, and said to Xiao Ming with a smile: "Where did father get the key to our house? Well, come down and look around."

Xiao Ming wanted to jump out of the car and run around immediately, but the things on the bullock cart hadn't been unloaded yet.So he waved his hand at Lin Qiulai and said, "No rush, this is our house that won't run away. Let's put our things away first, and then we'll visit together. Right, brother Xiaoyang?"

In Xiaoyang's heart, she also wished she could run all over the house, but her mother taught her that there is a priority in everything.He jumped off the bullock cart and walked to Xiao Ming and said with a smile, "Xiao Ming is right. Father, mother, let's unload the things first."

Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin were very comforted by the fact that their two sons were so sensible. After the four of them happily put everything back in place, they took their sons by the hand to visit the new house together.

The layout of this house is very good. Although the furniture left by the original householder is old, the quality is very good, and the carvings are very delicate and beautiful. Fang Yumin did not change any of them.For other items such as chaise longues, dining tables and chairs, small benches, etc., Lin Qiulai can make them himself, and there is no need to hire a carpenter.

Those flowers and plants were not dug up and turned into a vegetable garden. Although Lin Qiulai wanted to do this, Fang Yumin stopped him.My family has two vegetable gardens in Linjia Village, so why do I need another one here?If you can't avoid fertilizing your garden, the smell could spread to your neighbors.But without fertilization, these green vegetables will not grow well.It would be better not to plant!
It is the chrysanthemums that are in full bloom now. The small chrysanthemums and big chrysanthemums bloom just right, adding a lot of vitality and elegance.Fang Yumin has already sprinkled pepper and wormwood seeds in the corners, and in May and June next year, these peppers will be hanging on the branches in red, beautiful and edible.

"Xiao Ming, Xiao Yang, do you like this house?" Fang Yumin smiled and asked the two excited children.

"I like it! It's so beautiful here." Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang looked at Fang Yumin with sparkling eyes.

Lin Qiulai stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Ming's face, and asked, "Are you hungry? It's almost lunch time, shall we go to Shopkeeper Jin for dinner?"

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yang didn't answer immediately, they both looked up at Fang Yumin.

Fang Yumin was very happy, her son is really good!She smiled and said, "We don't necessarily have to go to the shopkeeper Jin to eat, we walk all the way and look around, and we can eat at any restaurant we like, okay?"

"it is good!"

"Let's go then!"

"set off!"
