Chapter 336: Wheat Field Scenery

Yang Yihua Gege laughed and said very quietly: "You are a child or a boy, of course you don't know.

'My sister will tell you at this time, when Kangxi was in the air, he ordered that his feet should not be bound. But some people are not afraid of inconvenient walking, and they are still entangled. In Dayang Village, there are several girls from rich families who have their feet tied, and they are so painful that they dare not walk. If they want to walk, they have to hold on to the wall.

'Little brother, you didn't see it, my mother didn't bind her feet, and my mother didn't let me bind my feet. My mother also said that if you wrap your feet like that, you won't want to walk well for the rest of your life. If there's a wolf chasing after you, then it's not running!'

After Yang Yihua finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled, and Zheng Xiaowen also laughed. Yang Yilin, Yang Yishan, both of them were paying attention to the streets and houses in Zheng Village, and they didn't hear what these two people said, and they didn't laugh. Zheng Shouye, who was driving the carriage in front, kept talking to Yang Zhiye, and the two of them didn't hear it.

As soon as the carriage left the city gate, Zheng Xiaowen stopped talking, her eyes were busy looking left and right, and her heart was still looking with her eyes, and she said in her heart: Ah!

Zheng Xiaowen was looking at the vast pale earthy yellow wheat fields that had matured near and far away, when suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the wheat fields, and she said in her heart: Ah! The wheat ears are connected with the undulating waves of the wheat stalks, this is really a spectacular one! Students in the city, come to the village to see the ripe wheat fields!

Zheng Xiaowen looked into the distance around again, she saw that in the distance, there was a forest far away, and said in her heart: Oh, I have seen this scenery in the suburbs of Huayuan and in Sheep's Head Mountain, this is a village more than ten miles away, or more than twenty miles away.

Zheng Xiaowen retracted her gaze, she looked at the wide wheat field, looking at the harvest scene, she knew that this was a year of good weather and rain, and said in her heart:

It seems that the peasant life in the Qianlong period was quite peaceful and peaceful.

That's right, now is the prosperous period of Qianlong's reign, and it must be the peace of the country and the people.

Oh, it's terrible, in another 20 years, then Qianlong Hongli will begin to grow old and mediocre! As soon as he is mediocre, the officials in the court will no longer pay attention to their political achievements, and their work style will also be corrupted. He also closed himself off from the country, he turned a blind eye to the world's advanced technology trends, he pulled China back, and he still acted like no one!

I don't know if I want to say this, but I know that it won't work! At this moment, he hasn't made this super big mistake, and I have to go up to the court to convince him! If he doesn't listen to my advice, I can't do anything, so let the heroes everywhere revolt!

Yo, yo, slowly, slowly, with your little woman, you can convince a Qing emperor?

So, what if I convince him? Yo, Zheng Xiaowen, even if you convince that Qianlong, it will be Qianlong's soul that regrets it! History has passed, and the major events of this dynasty have been recorded, those who rebelled, fought with the national army, and lost money by the army, who can erase them......

Yang Yilin saw that the car had stopped, Zheng Xiaowen was still stunned, he patted Zheng Xiaowen and said: 'It's time to our wheat field, everyone is getting out of the car, what are you still doing in a daze?'

Zheng Xiaowen came back to his senses, hurriedly played a round for himself, and said: 'I haven't seen enough of this wheat field scenery, let's go, get out of the car and continue to watch!'

Zheng Shouye looked at the four children, and he said to the three younger ones: "Before I came, I said that I would not let the three of you come, but you are not happy, and you are still making a fuss about coming, so I have to prepare a sickle for you." Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, so let's tell you how to harvest the wheat now.

'You have cut the wheat in the mountains, and you have cut three rows. Each of the three of you will cut a row of wheat. You all have to remember that the stubble should be kept low. After a while, you will see how the adults cut the wheat, and you will learn a little more, and it will be you. ’

The six men had just been cutting the wheat for a while, and two of the day laborers, with scythes in their hands, came over.

Zheng Shouye greeted him and said, "You two are still well-informed, no, just after the sickle cuts the wheat, the two of you will arrive." Actually, I was afraid that you would be busy, so I didn't tell you beforehand. ’

One of the short-term workers said: 'We both have the heart to harvest the wheat, and when the wheat is ripe, we are afraid of rain, so we should cut it quickly, finish the field, and take the grain home, so that the two of us can rest assured.' ’

Zheng Shouye was very moved and very happy, he said: "Thank you so much to the two brothers, then let's cut the wheat together." ’

The Zheng and Yang families, plus the two people who worked as part-time workers, were busy cutting and drying wheat, rolling and raising the field with stones, and finally stacked the wheat straw and transported the wheat back to the Zheng family.

Zheng Xiaowen practiced the whole process of wheat harvesting, and she said in her heart: The white flour buns that she eats all day are originally obtained after so many details. Oh, and the details, you have to grind the wheat into flour and then make it into a bun before you can eat it. There are really a lot of details, and the people who grow the crops are too tired.

Oh, and I see, the word 'waste' may have been extracted from the sweat of the croppers. In the future, when I cook and cook, I will make just enough to eat, and I can't throw it away without eating.

The Zheng family's new wheat noodles were ground out. Zheng Xiaowen ate a slightly black new wheat noodle bun and said, 'Well, this steamed bun is so fragrant, so delicious!'

Yang Yilin looked at Zheng Xiaowen puzzled: 'Eat a bun, can you also express your feelings?'

Zheng Xiaowen said: "It's really the first time for me to eat such an original flavor, such a delicious wheat flour, can I not be emotional? Only those who have feelings know how to cherish and repay their gratitude. ’

Yang Yilin listened to this, looking at him a little confused, he didn't answer Zheng Xiaowen's words.

After the Zheng family harvested the wheat cleanly, it was time to plant the autumn crops.

In the morning, Yang Zhiye looked at Zheng Shouye and suggested, "Brother, it's time to plow the land and plant corn." Our family has so much wheat straw that we can feed three cows. If the two of us ploughed together, how fast would we work. I think let's buy another plow and a cow. Anyway, I still have to buy land, and I will pay for the ploughs and cattle. ’

Zheng Shouye said: "Today our Zhengcun is a set, let's go to the livestock market after a while, and if we like it, we will buy the cattle back and buy a plow." You still have to buy a house, buy land, you don't have to buy it, I'll pay for it. In the future, when you need it, you can just come to the house to fetch the oxen and the plow. ’

Yang Zhiye was also very moved when he heard this. It's just that men hide their emotions in the depths of their hearts, and they generally don't shed tears. When it comes time to have the ability to repay, I will definitely take out the physical mind.

Yang Zhiye bought the plow, and he wiped the plow surface bright. And he took a large comb for the mule, and combed the cow's hair, and let the oxen eat and drink to their heart's content, and rest the night. Early the next morning, the brothers took the children and went to the field again.

In the field, Yang Shouye taught the children how to sprinkle corn seeds into the hollow soil that had just been plowed.

Zheng Xiaowen clapped her hands and said, "I've learned, it's so simple to sow seeds, I've learned it!" She took the small bamboo basket of corn from her father's hand, and tried to scatter the seeds where she had plowed, and she said as she plowed, "Dad, look, I and you are sowing corn in the same position and the seeds are thick, so it's okay to sprinkle it, right?"

Zheng Shouye said happily: "Yes, yes, that's it. But he said in his heart: If Xiaowen is really a son, how good it would be!

As soon as he entered the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Zheng Shouye went to invite a midwife.

Zheng Shouye had been guarding the door of the upper room for a long time, and he heard the children in the room crying, and then he heard the midwife say, 'Boy, boy, congratulations!'

He was so happy that he came down to the door of the room and called Zheng Xiaowen: 'Xiaowen, Xiaowen, your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you!'

Zheng Xiaowen, who was waiting in the middle house, heard that her mother had given birth to a boy, and she was so happy that she ran out of the middle house and said, "Great! Great! I have a younger brother! I have a younger brother!"

Zheng Shouye then sighed again: 'Thank God, let me be forty years old and be the father of my second child again!' He was still shouting in his heart: I, Zheng Shouye, finally have a son and a daughter!

At this time, Zheng Shouye wanted to say to Zheng Xiaowen: Xiaowen, you are not a boy, you are a girl! He thought again: Don't say it, don't say it, you can't say it. When the girl grows up a little more, she will ask herself, and she will say it herself.

Zheng Shouye named his son: Zheng Xiaowu.

On the day of the Zheng family's full moon banquet, the family was too lively, and relatives, friends, and villagers were busy with the three houses of the Zheng family. Not to mention the amount of rice, noodles, and eggs sent, only silver jewelry received a basket, which is also the result of the Zheng family's previous gifts to others.

Zheng Xiaowen has a job to do now, as soon as she goes to school, she is busy hugging her younger brother, and kissing her younger brother is too close.

Yang Yilin saw that Zheng Xiaowen's movements of holding the child were so skillful, his arms holding the child were very stiff, and he couldn't compare to Zheng Xiaowen no matter how he learned. Suddenly, a surprise flash flashed in his mind: Hmm, Xiaowen, she must be a girl!

The Yang family bought a house, and after Zheng Shouye said that the Yang family bought a house in Zheng Village, which was mostly new and had two courtyards. The price is not expensive, Yang Zhiye is very satisfied and happy, and he is very grateful to Zheng Shouye.

When the autumn harvest season came, the Zheng and Yang families were busy harvesting corn, millet, and beans together. Zheng Xiaowen and Yang Yilin both participated in the autumn harvest.

Zheng Xiaowen ate the new grain that came down in the autumn, and she sighed for a while: This corn grit, this millet, this mung bean, and the porridge cooked, why is it so fragrant, is this grain seed in the seventeenth century better than the grain seed hundreds of years later?

Oh, don't be weird with you Zheng Xiaowen, let you be with Yilin in the imperial era, enjoy the ancient life, and let you try the fun of pretending to be a man, your beauty is not endless, what are you still muttering!
