Liang Zijun went home and told Chen Qing about interesting stories on the street, Chen Qing just gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "With his virtue, if he can be admitted to Xiucai, Abi can enter the office and become a female official!"

Chen Qing picked up the cloth towel and whipped the dust on his trouser legs, completely ignoring Liang Zijun's surprised eyes. How could he care about whether Chen Ping was doing well or not, and the lack of water in the crops in the field made him even more worried.

Within 5 days, not only Chen Qing was worried, but even Wan Zhuoping couldn't sit still, and after discussing with Chen Bi, the two rushed back to Wanliutun by car.

As soon as Chen Qing and the other girls left, they dragged Liang Zijun back home, and irrigated three acres of dry land on his shoulder, so that he could sit in the house and embroider work.

A few days will be the day when Liang Zijun will go to the province to catch the exam, and he has to hurry up and make his clothes. Otherwise, this difficult master would have to make trouble until he couldn't sleep.

The three cousins of the Liang family had already begun to routinely inspect the growth of the crops, and when they returned, they got together to discuss secretly.

"I'm afraid that the output will be reduced by three percent compared with previous years," Liang Ziping took the lead in telling the truth.

"Fortunately, there were a few good rains in the spring, otherwise there would have been a big drought," Liang Zizhuang poured a cup of herbal tea and wiped his mouth.

Over the years, farmers have been worried about abnormal weather, fear that the heat will not be hot, and there will be too much rain. But this year, there have been two light rains sporadically throughout the summer, and even the ground has not been wet, and if it doesn't rain again near the autumn harvest, I'm afraid that the grains will not be sold at a good price.

"Don't sell all the grain harvested this year, if the year is not good, there may be tenants who come to borrow grain in winter," Liang Zixian knocked off the grass clippings on the soles of his shoes and explained.

Liang Baida nodded, in previous years, the tenants had failed to harvest, and those who had a difficult life would come to the door to borrow grain. According to the usual practice, they are all IOUs and will be counted next autumn. Liang Baida has lived for many years and has more experience, so he asked Zixian to save more grain in case food prices rise, so as not to have no grain to call for in the spring.

"Do you have seeds?" Liang Zixian couldn't help but think of the drought in the previous two years, and Daddy never talked nonsense, if it was a big drought, he had to prepare early.

"It's not a big deal this year, at most it's a lack of harvest, I'm afraid that next year will not be good, be more prepared" Liang Baida chuckled lightly, slowing down the suddenly tense atmosphere in the room.

The farmer depends on the sky for food, and if it suffers disasters year after year, it is a major event of family destruction and death. The Liang family is not only the owner, but also has the spare strength to help the tenants, so they do not hesitate to lose this loss.

Liang Zixian nodded and secretly wrote down, even if the grain is stored for a year, it will only lose a little silver, if it really suffers disasters year after year, even if there is silver, it may not be able to raise food.

Liang Zijun has to rush for the exam, and these trivial chores at home are handled by a few brothers, and the mountain spring in the back mountain has also shrunk significantly due to drought, but fortunately, Chen Qing has not planted much land and is irrigated by river water, but it is better than the fields of other people, and the seeds are full and do not seem to be underharvested.

After Chen Qing finished irrigating the land again, he couldn't help but worry about the people who had a lot of fields, even if there was a lot of strong labor at home, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to irrigate it.

After the beginning of autumn, Liang Zijun was ready to go, in addition to the need to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation in advance, even the store pù matters were also handed over to the shopkeeper Wan.

"If he can't deal with it, he will send someone to look for it, I'm not at home, you can do it yourself," Liang Zijun said staring at the busy back.

"Well, don't worry," Chen Qinghun replied nonchalantly. In addition to the closure of the shopkeeper, it is estimated that he will not be able to use him, and now the supply of goods in the cloth workshop is stable, and the embroidery room is starting normally, what major problems can not be solved?

Liang Zijun hooked his lips and smiled, he is a husband who is very clear about big things, and he doesn't interfere in small things, he is really a virtuous helper in the show and wisdom, with him, he really doesn't have to worry about the shop.

Chen Qing prepared 5 sets of single clothes for Liang Zijun, three pairs of shoes, and even hairpin accessories were carefully put away and stuffed into a cloth bag. The township test competition will not be released in early winter, so Chen Qing wrapped another jacket and two pairs of cotton shoes, together with a futon in a bag.

The township test is different from the county test, not one per day, but three exams (four books and five classics, policy questions, and poems), each of which is three days each. The Township Examination is held in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, with the 9th, 12th and 15th of the Lunar New Year as the main venues, and candidates will enter the venue on the day before and appear on the next day.

If you want to stay in the room for six nights, all the food items you should eat need to be prepared, and Chen Qing doesn't have to worry about the staple food, and Chen Qing, Liang Zijun's favorite side dish, Chen Qing, has packed a small package.

"It's just a little bit of food, but it's just a few days to deal with just one bite," Liang Zijun said softly from the thin waist on the back ring.

"When you go out, how can there be anything that fits? At most, it takes some effort to carry it, and when the time comes, you will come back and complain to me" Chen Qing patted his hand, and the little daughter-in-law continued to tidy up.

Liang Zijun was ironed by his intimate words to the warmth of his heart, and he couldn't help but be reluctant to leave such a warm daughter-in-law.

This time, I set out a month early, and in addition to the time spent on the road, most of it was spent on connecting with classmates, discussing knowledge, and holding poetry meetings.

The competition on the face is only secondary, and the most important thing is to open up the joints and avoid losing the examination room, just like Shen Shucheng was replaced after the exam because he did not understand the world. Many bribes have been operated in the dark as early as before the exam, and the means of cheating on the spot are even more varied, and one careless person may waste years of preparation.

It is that every student who has a way to take advantage of this opportunity to rush to the provincial capital early to clear the customs and bribe, and the uneducated try to bribe and cheat, and the learned are also afraid of being shaved. As for those who still have knowledge but suffer from lack of financial resources, they are trying their best to attract attention, trying to climb up to the nobles to ensure a smooth journey.

Although Chen Qing didn't know about all these things, he also thought that it would be better to get used to the atmosphere of the examination room if he arrived early. After Liang Zijun left, Chen Qing began to organize farm tools and dry vegetables.

After the summer heat, the weather turned cooler, and before the precious rain, most of the crops in the field were reduced. Farmers can't afford to wait, so they have to start the autumn harvest one after another, and the fields are full of people rushing to harvest. Chen Qingyuan wanted to push away Li San and Wei Liang's help, but was teased by the two of them, "How can there be a reason for the owner to work and work for a long time?"

After the three acres of dry land and half an acre of vegetable land were harvested, Chen Qing divided the dried vegetables into a few families, and stored the rest in the cellar under the patio.

Liang Zixian looked at his slightly restrained brother-in-law in front of him with a smile, and waited for him to explain his intentions before he spoke, "Why did Zijun come to me to discuss this matter?"

Chen Qing stole a white glance at the big-bellied man, and then said loudly, "These three acres of fertile land are fields recorded in the public account, and they are not owned by Zijun personally, so of course the rent must be handed over to the long house."

"If you say so, you can pay half of it according to the rules" Liang Zixian glanced at his father helplessly, these three brothers and daughters-in-law are really enough. Liang Baida smiled silently, he is not good at interfering in the affairs of the juniors, and the little couple is making trouble, anyway, it is a family, and it is right to take your time.

"The remaining half of it, I plan to divide it among the houses, and I will save money to buy food...... Although there is no shortage of these coarse foods at home, it has also caused a lot of trouble to everyone in the past year, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart," Chen Qing poured out the pre-typed abdominal draft.

Brother Yang first covered his stomach and laughed, Liang Zixian hurriedly comforted the laughing little husband who leaned forward and leaned back, and then scolded with a smile, "Why don't you work for a long time?"

Chen Qing scratched his head embarrassedly and lowered his head to speak.

"Then what is it called the owner, call it big brother!" Liang Zixian smiled at him.

"Hey~Big brother!" Chen Qing replied briskly, raising a bright smile.

Liang Baida pointed at Chen Qing and scolded with a smile: "This stupid boy finally understands things, and he will live a good life with Zijun in the future! I know that you are a capable person, and I will have to rely on you to take care of that stinky boy in the future." I see that the rent has also been paid, and it will be directly ground into powder and distributed to the various courtyards."

Chen Qing couldn't help but laugh at himself stupidly after hearing the mention, this family has long recognized himself, and he is still stupid to treat himself as an outsider.

Three acres of dry land produce 700 kilograms of wheat, 1,200 kilograms of corn and 2,000 kilograms of potatoes. If it weren't for the bad year, the fields would not be fertile, and the yield would be higher, but even so, because Chen Qing watered them in time, the medium fields would have more grain than the top fields.

Threshing and drying, until it is ground into flour, each family is divided into a bag of white flour, a little black flour, and the wheat bran is stored as winter fodder. Except for part of the grinding of bract grain, the rest is used as domestic and animal feed.

Half an acre of potatoes was left for seeding, and the rest was piled up in the cellar for each courtyard to use, and Li San and Wei Liang also shared a share of each of them for these days' wages.

Chen Qing borrowed an ox cart to send the ground white noodles and budding rice noodles to Liang Bo, and the old man padded a fist-sized potato and said, "It's good that you can grow so big without a good harvest."

This old man didn't say a few words to himself, and he didn't even squeak when he sent the hairpin, and at this moment he was rarely praised by Uncle Liang, and Chen Qing was quite happy. Handing Liang Bo a set of sauce-red clothes he had sewn, Chen Qing rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go into the kitchen to make shou noodles.

Knowing about Uncle Liang's 70th birthday from his uncle, Chen Qing couldn't help but be surprised, this old man was tough, occasionally energetic and energetic, and he couldn't tell that he was an old man who was too old.

In previous years, in the Liang family's mansion, everyone also gave him a bowl of birthday noodles to celebrate his birthday, this time Liang Zijun rushed to the exam and instructed Chen Qing to give Zhang Luo, they had the heart to take it back to do it, but they were afraid that Uncle Liang would not appreciate it, and he was unwilling to join in the excitement at the table.

Chen Qing quickly fried a few dishes, rolled out a three-meter-long shou noodle, boiled two poached eggs and brought it into the hall.

Uncle Liang changed his clothes and sat at the table, glanced at Chen Qing, and dropped a sentence, "What are you doing with so many dishes?" and took the shou noodles back to his hut.

lit a stick of incense, smiled at the husband's spiritual position, and wrinkled, "Look at this dress, is it good-looking? The husband of the third baby embroidered it!" I wanted to only wear the clothes embroidered by you, but for the sake of the baby's filial piety, the old man made an exception to wear it...... This husband is good, he can farm and have a good body, and the third baby has a personal appearance for him to restrict, if you give birth to a doll earlier, the old man can rest assured that he will accompany you......"

Picking up the shou noodles and taking a bite, Liang Bo said to his husband with tears in his eyes, "It's a pity that it's not as delicious as you make......"

Chen Qing sat at the table in frustration, he still didn't understand the old man's thoughts, where to eat the dishes on this table, just set aside a little of each, and leave the rest for Uncle Liang to make dinner.

After eating, Chen Qing and Liang Bo informed him and drove the ox cart back to Liangjia Village, tomorrow is the new year's rent, Liang Zijun is not there, I think it is necessary to be busy for two more days.

Early the next morning, Chen Qing stood in the patio wearing a linen shirt and waited. In previous years, the four brothers each brought one, but this year Liang Zijun was not there, so Chen Qing took Liang Zijun's lack and led Wei Liang to collect rent.

"It's good to have a capable brother and daughter-in-law, and it saves us a lot of effort," Liang Ziping shook his arms and chatted with Liang Zixian.

"Beware of Feng Zhi hearing that he smacks your mouth" Liang Zixian joked to him, he was reluctant to let Brother Yang work so hard, and two months were the days when the doll landed, Liang Zixian felt expectant, and Rarity was uneasy, every time he looked at the huge belly, he was worried that Brother Yang would not survive.

A-Niang also told not to be greedy, otherwise the adults will also suffer when the child is too strong to give birth, but she is used to pampering the little husband, looking at his pitiful mouth, she can't help but allow him to eat more, and as a result, the belly is as big as a ball one bite after another.

The deceased wife was over-consumed because of dystocia, although she saved her life, but she couldn't survive a few years, and the sadness of the past is still vivid, and the closer she gets to childbirth, the more uneasy she becomes.

Liang Zixian was full of worries, Liang Zizhuang was going to marry his daughter after the autumn harvest, and he didn't have the heart to joke with the two, so he hurriedly went out and led the ox cart towards the entrance of the village.
