The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...

The spring equinox came in a few days, the spring equinox came, everything recovered, the weather became warmer and warmer after the spring equinox, and the padded jacket on the body could also be taken off, as long as you wore one or two thin shirts, you would not feel cold.

As soon as the spring equinox passed, the Qingming Festival was coming, before the Qingming Festival, Hui Niang began to soak the corn and watermelon seeds bought in Yuzhou, and within a few days, the seeds germinated, Hui Niang took Feng San's family and began to plant.

Before planting, Aunt Qi also asked Hui Niang if she had planted these things, would it be too early, Hui Niang just smiled and didn't answer Aunt Qi, but she didn't know that what she wanted was to plant these before others, and it would be better to harvest them in front of others in the future.

All the watermelon seeds were lit in the open space at the back of the house. The land behind Hui Niang's house is about ten acres when it is cleaned up, and the watermelon seeds bought here are only enough for about five or six acres, and the remaining half is used to order strawberries, and the remaining two or three acres are planted with other vegetables, and there is no left of more than ten acres of land.

However, on these ten acres of land, Hui Niang's family planted it for about three or four days, but fortunately, before Qingming, all the plants were planted. In ancient times, Qingming was on the fifteenth day after the spring equinox, that is, on the sixth day of the third month.

So here are according to the vernal equinox to calculate this Qingming, and the next twenty days or so, are Qingming, on the sixth day of the first month, Fan Ming's family had breakfast, with their own paper money, a family of three to the main house of the Fan family, and Fan Laotou and others converged, by Fan Laotou personally took the family of brothers and sisters and descendants up the mountain to sweep the ancestors tombs.

When they arrived at the Fan family's old house, almost all the people had arrived, and the old man Fan gave a few instructions, asking the people of Fan Jimin's family and his sons to put all the paper money they brought together. It was sorted out and taken up the mountain by a few sons and nephews.

The Qingming Festival here is no different from the modern Qingming Festival, the old man Fan first took a few sons and nephews, first cleaned up the weeds and stones on the graves of the ancestors of the Fan family and the ancestors, and dug up a lot of fresh soil on this grave.

This is also to prevent the soil of the ancestor's grave from being washed away due to the sun and rain, and when the grave of the ancestor is piled up much higher than before, the old man Fan asked the Li family and the Jiang family to set up the things they brought to worship, incense, and paper money. Fruits and vegetables, wine and glasses, and firecrackers are all essential.

And Hui Niang's daughters-in-law and Fan Jimin's daughters-in-law. They all waited on the side, and after more than ten minutes or so, Old Man Fan saw that the Li family and the Jiang family had put their things in place, put the hoe in his hand aside, and led the Fan family to worship their ancestors together.

This worship thing. It lasted for two days, and finally in the afternoon of the next day, after worshipping the last relative of the Fan family, the tomb sweeping of the Qingming Festival came to an end, and the tomb sweeping of the Liu family, Hui Niang did not go back. I sent paper money back.

On this day, there is a custom in the Qin Dynasty that a married daughter cannot go back to the tomb of her mother's ancestor to worship her, of course, this paper money has to be sent back a day or two before the Qingming Festival. Although Hui Niang didn't understand the reason for this.

Or according to the memory of the predecessor, the paper money was sent back early, and as soon as the Qingming Festival passed, it was time to sow seeds. Rice seeds, which had previously been soaked in water for many days, have now germinated. Just wait for the seeds.

As soon as the rice seeds are sown, it is about to usher in Hui Niang's first birthday here, March 15, Miao Miao's birthday is on the third day after Hui Niang's birthday, March 18, although these days are not very busy, but for Hui Niang, who has been slow about his own affairs, he does not remember this day.

These days, Hui Niang has been thinking of new ideas to make money, bought land a year ago, bought fruit trees after the year, and built a wall, these big projects, calculated to use up three hundred and ten taels of silver at once, not to mention the wages for hiring people, plus the cost of Shangyuzhou and Gyeongju before, this is all kinds of things, how can it be counted as more than three hundred and thirty taels of silver.

Got rid of the three hundred taels in Hui Niang's hand that sold vegetables in Yuzhou before, and the money in Hui Niang's hand now is only about four hundred taels, seeing that this money is back to the original point, she plans to open a store and a processing plant later, so it's no wonder that Hui Niang is not in a hurry?

This series of actions, Hui Niang naturally didn't notice that Fan Ming was a little different from weekdays, and when she came to her senses, it was March 15, the day of her birthday.

In the past few days, in addition to thinking about the lack of silver, Hui Niang is also thinking about how to make these things such as fried tofu and tofu skin, don't look at these inconspicuous, but the cost of doing these is low, and she will definitely be able to earn silver at that time, but it's a pity that she can't make this tofu, and the old Wang Hui Niang's family who makes tofu is not familiar with it.

But if we can cooperate? It should be feasible, but it depends on whether the old Wang Tou agrees or not, Hui Niang wrote down what she thought of in a booklet first, and after thinking about it, she went to think about the second question.

This rice is also sown, the second step at the moment, is to plow the field with oxen, now the plow here, Hui Niang has seen, are the simplest, the action is not fast, not to say, and can not be all leveled at a time, but also to use the ox to plow twice, and time-consuming and laborious not to say, the speed is really slow.

Last time, Hui Niang happened to see people in the village plowing the fields, and the heart of the sight was pinched, and she couldn't wait to go down to the field by herself, and immediately solved this little thing.

Take out the paper and put it out, and draw the drawings in your mind, and deliberately note the details above, other Hui Niang may not be very good, to say that she painted this, that she has seen since she was a child, and now it finally has a place in this ancient world.

Hui Niang also felt a little tired after drawing, just stretched her waist, Aunt Qi came up and asked Hui Niang to eat, put the drawn drawings and written things in place, Hui Niang went downstairs, as soon as she got downstairs, Hui Niang noticed that there was something wrong with today's atmosphere, Fan Ming, Miao Miao and Xiaoxue and others were not there.

Curious, Hui Niang asked, "Aunt Qi, haven't Ah Ming and Miao Miao come back yet?" "Didn't you say you went to town in the morning, did you go there for so long?

Aunt Qi smiled and didn't say anything, she didn't give Hui Niang an answer, so she went to the kitchen, and in Hui Niang's doubts, she sat down at the dining table, and it didn't take long for a small voice to come from the kitchen.

When Fan Ming and Miao Miao worked together to hold the birthday cake made by Aunt Qi alone, Hui Niang was stunned for a moment, and she didn't react until Fan Ming's father and daughter and Feng San's family were happy about their birthdays, and she realized that today was her twenty-first birthday.

Hui Niang made a wish with red eyes, blew out the candles, and then began to distribute the cake, and when Fan Ming brought out a bowl of ugly noodles from the kitchen, Hui Niang was immediately happy, needless to say that she also knew that Fan Ming made it.

Fan Ming scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed face: "Daughter-in-law, don't dislike that, my craftsmanship is like this?" If it's unpalatable, I'll go to the kitchen and make you a bowl of noodles. ”

Hui Niang knew that Fan Ming was not good at making noodles, but when she saw everything he had done for herself, she was not moved in her heart, and immediately pulled his sleeve and said, "You haven't eaten this yet?" How do you know it's not tasty, okay, don't go. ”

Even if it is unpalatable, she will still eat it, Aunt Qi smiled and said: "Yes, master, don't go, madam, you eat it quickly, this longevity noodle is going to be cold." ”

"Mother, hurry up and eat noodles, I have a gift for you after eating." Miao Miao flashed her big black eyes and looked at Hui Niangdao seriously.

Hui Niang snorted, pressed the excitement in her heart, and slowly began to eat noodles, wanting to bite off the noodles several times, but every time she did this action, Aunt Qi would remind Hui Niang, "Mrs., this longevity noodles can't be broken, you have to eat them all at once." ”

When Hui Niang finished eating this bowl of longevity noodles, her stomach was already swollen, and she put down her chopsticks and immediately took the tea next to her hand and took it all in one gulp.

Fan Ming thought that the noodles he made were too unpalatable, and comforted Hui Niang on the side, but he didn't know that it was not that Fan Ming made it too unpalatable, but that it was too salty, and the scene of eating longevity noodles passed quickly, Miao Miao took out a small gift she had prepared for many days, a crumpled purse, and gave it to Hui Niang with a blank eye, and said: "Mother, how about this gift I gave you?" Did I do it myself? ”

Miao Miao's hands were facing her fingers behind her back, obviously looking like she was coming to praise me, Hui Niang would say that she didn't like it, so she immediately took it and took a good look at it, and praised Miao Miao, who was praised, was proud, and shouted for Fan Ming to take the gift.

Fan Ming sent a wood carving, the wood carving is only the size of a palm, if you take a cursory look, this wood carving may not be special, but as long as you look at it carefully, you will find that the wood carving is carved on a person.

Hui Niang noticed this special feature, and said with red eyes: "Ah Ming, thank you, I like this wood carving very much." ”

Hui Niang said this, Miao Miao was a little unhappy, and Xiaoxue, who noticed that Miao Miao was wrong, reminded: "Miss, I see that the master's wood carving is carved on the wife?" ”

"Really?" Miao Miao was a little suspicious, looked at it carefully, and really felt a little similar, pursed her mouth and was unhappy, and was a little depressed in her heart, as far as her gift was the ugliest.

Fan Ming gave gifts, Aunt Qi and Xiaoxue did not fall, both of them took out the gifts they had prepared for a long time, everyone gave gifts to Hui Niang, and Feng San was left alone, at this time Feng San also reacted, looked at Aunt Qi and said, "Last time, you said that this thing to be given away is for Mrs?" ”

Aunt Qi nodded, and Feng San whispered to Aunt Qi with a bad face after hearing this: "Then why didn't you say it earlier, it's the harm that I didn't prepare anything?" ”

This woman didn't tell him about such a big thing, and he thought that his mother-in-law was given to someone else who had nothing to do with it? So I vomited with her for a few days for this matter, and then I realized that it was for my wife, and I really lost face.

Feng San complained to Aunt Qi for a while, there was no gift, Feng San could only learn and sell now, and came to a joke from their hometown as a gift to Hui Niang.
