Because they have planted a crop of corn, the Lin family has experience in breaking corn, and they saw that the girl or the young girl was carrying a basket or carrying a basket, and walked in front of the head, holding the corn cob mallet with both hands and slightly forced, and with a click, a heavy corn cob mallet had fallen into her hand. Behind is a sturdy family member with a half-pickaxe in hand, following four or five steps behind, waving a pickaxe, and with a click, the tall corn plants are cut down and placed behind them. Then someone came up after him, gathered the corn stalks into piles, bundled them, and carried them to the wagons at the head of the field and carried them home. These corn straws can be dried to make firewood and grass, and can also be used to feed cattle, horses and sheep, which is high-quality green fodder.

When they came to harvest corn today, the Lin family did not hire labor, nor did they draw young and strong workers from the workshop, because they heard that the Lin family was going to harvest crops, and the surrounding villagers, except for those who worked in the workshop, other people of all ages almost came into battle, spontaneously holding pickaxes and carrying baskets to help.

At this time, Qin Zheng followed the poplar into the cornfield with the basket on his back, and then, the poplar taught Qin Zheng how to break the corn cob, Qin Zheng can flexibly steer the horse with one hand, can hold the knife and gun strongly, and can also shoot with a hand of accurate archery, and write well, but when he arrived in the cornfield, holding a corn cob mallet but it looked rusty and clumsy, and the first corn cob mallet was even broken because of too much force...... The next one broke off the corn stalks......

Yang Shumeng took the pickaxe in his hand and patiently told him the skills of breaking corn......

Qiu Chen was speechless looking at Yang Shumeng, who was strictly guarding and implementing the policy of keeping a close eye on the death, shook his head with a smile and turned around and was about to get another basket, Lan Ying and the Qingshan family came over, Lan Ying looked at the tall and straight figure, squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "This is that person, right?" ”

Qiu Chen nodded a little helplessly, and the Qingshan family answered next to him: "It's good, the men who come out of that kind of family are willing to work in the field...... That's great! ”

Lan Ying also smiled and nodded again and again: "Well, well, I also know that Lu Dao is for Begonia, and I know that Lu Dao is considerate, and I am very good at feeling sorry for people...... Look at the people who have read books, they are stronger than those big and thick people in our family! ”

The Qingshan family glanced at Lan Ying with a smile and said, "I don't believe what you say, no one in the village knows the way, your family is the most careful, and it hurts people the most......"

Seeing that the two women were crooked by themselves, Qiu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that she hasn't seen the plagiarism of the women of the Zhuang family, and when she jokes, she dares to say any kind of meat joke. It's not fun to talk about it, and sometimes he will do it, Qiu Chen has seen a naughty young man in the workshop being besieged and stripped naked by several women......

Hurriedly carrying a basket and escaping into the cornfield, Tang Wenyong got out of nowhere, and followed behind Qiu Chen with a corn cob with a happy face: "This, the ears of corn actually grow like this, hehe, when I first saw it, I thought that the top was the ear......"

Qiu Chen couldn't help but smile when he looked at the dried male flower ears on the corn plant, the traditional crops are not wheat and rice, but the sorghum that is most similar to corn, and the sorghum ears are also born at the top of the plant.

"Yes, it's been strange for a long time since I saw this for the first time...... Qiu Chen responded casually, his subordinates didn't stop, and he broke off the heavy corn cob mallets and put them in the basket. At the same time, she also paid close attention to the growth of the mallet, and saw that almost all the corn cob mallets grew very well, although they could not be compared with the modern improved corn varieties, but the corn cob mallets were about fifteen centimeters, and the corn kernels on it were also very full, almost covering the top of the mallet, and the corn grains were also golden and full...... Looking at these heavy corn cob mallets, the harvest of the second crop of corn should not be lower than that of the first crop, that is, the yield per mu will not be less than ten stones.

Qiu Chen finally put his mind at ease, with this year's planting experience, next year's seeds will be selected and further skillfully cultivated, I believe that next year's corn harvest will also maintain a yield of more than ten stones.

broke more than a dozen corn cob mallets in a row, and the basket was almost full, Qiu Chen turned around and saw that Tang Wenyong was still following her, holding the corn cob in his hand and rubbing it lovingly, turning his head to look at the corn beside him with a smile on his face, but he didn't reach out to break it......

"Hey, Tang Gongzi, since you don't break corn, then don't follow up...... The corn stalks are so dense that they are not exposed to the wind and heat, and the leaves are still scraping the clothes and hair...... You have to look at the corn harvest, just wait in the field, or simply go home and drink tea and wait, and when the grain is produced, it will naturally report the yield to you. ”

"This is a bad word, this is a bad word!" Tang Wenyong was very dissatisfied with Qiu Chen's kind reminder, and shook his head again and again, "If you don't go into the crops, how can you know the hardships of the people's farming?" Of course, if you don't know the pain of farming, you can't experience the joy of harvest! ”

Qiu Chen rolled his eyes very unceremoniously, reached out and took the corn cob in Tang Wenyong's hand, put it in the basket, turned back to the ground, and turned back, instructing Tang Wenyong to say: "Since Tang Gongzi wants to understand the hardships of the people's farming, where can he realize it if he doesn't do it?" Come, you break this line, I'll break this line, let's compare and see who finishes it early! ”

Being so squeezed by a woman, Tang Wenyong was not easy to refuse, and even followed Qiu Chen's instructions with a little excitement, and went to the side and began to break corn. However, this one is worse than Qin Zheng, although it is not broken with great strength, but a corn is like an embroidery, and after watching it fall, he is in a hurry, and the broken corn is thrown away without looking at it, and he is busy catching up with the basket and following behind him, while he is busy catching up with the progress.

Qiu Chen broke a few in a row, looked back and saw that Tang Wenyong hadn't been left behind, and then looked at An Rong who was following closely behind, and Tang Wenyong's action of breaking one by one, and couldn't hold back Da Lang's laughter.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Tang Wenyong was stared at by Qiu Chen and laughed uncomfortably, opened his hand and looked up and down on his body, except for a few grass blades on his clothes and a few burrs, there was nothing inappropriate, this woman was inferior to him!

Qiu Chen laughed again, and finally stopped laughing, and pointed at Tang Wenyong and said: "Tang Gongzi can't break it like this, I'll teach you a way, you see, it's like this...... The broken corn cob is directly clamped in the armpit, broken one by one, how easy it is, and the bridle behind the rescue is not picked up one by one! ”

Tang Wenyong has been accustomed to serving people since he was a child, and he never thought about whether the people who serve him would be inconvenient or tired...... However, when I heard Qiu Chen say this, although Qiu Chen's action of putting something in the armpit was a little rude, it was not arrogant, and I couldn't help but feel interested, and nodded again and again: "Well, this is better than just now...... You see, isn't that so? ”

Tang Wenyong broke one and clamped it in his armpit, and then broke another one and clamped it in...... However, when Qiu Chen was demonstrating, the basket was under the armpit, and the corn cob that fell naturally fell into the basket, Tang Wenyong didn't carry the basket, put in the second corn, and the first one naturally fell to the ground......

Seeing Tang Wenyong like this, Qiu Chen didn't do anything, but a few girls who had heard Qiu Chen tell the story of a bear breaking corn couldn't help laughing, and they couldn't laugh loudly, covering their mouths one by one, shrinking their shoulders, and looking like they couldn't hold back their laughter...... If you have a slightly thinner skin, you're afraid that you won't be able to stand the laughter.

But Tang Wenyong was obviously not among them, his face turned into ignorance, looking at the girls who couldn't help laughing and enduring hardship, and said seriously in surprise: "What's wrong with them?" What's funny I didn't hear? Alas, I just thought about learning how to break corn and corn sandwich you......"

Against such a person, Qiu Chen didn't want to laugh at all, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he turned around and sent corn to the ground. Why doesn't she always have a long memory to provoke these people...... People are afraid that they have been experiencing all kinds of open and secret battles and verbal swords since they were infants, how can they be compared to a struggle like her? I'm not comfortable finding her!

Whether it was Qiu Chen, Tang Wenyong, or Qin Zheng, they didn't break all the corn after all, and the corn cob mallet was loaded into a truck and transported for the first time, and they came over together. With them were the maids-in-law, as well as Lan Ying and the Qingshan family, who were going back to the workshop to work.

The corn was transported to the yard of the first entry. Lan Ying and Qingshan's family went to the workshop, and Qiu Chen took a group of girls and mothers-in-law to gather around, quickly peeled off the coat of corn, knotted them one by one, and hung them on the wall and eaves.

Tang Wenyong still followed Qiu Chen's side step by step, pointed to Qiu Chen's peeled corn cob and said, "That's it?" How to get food? Isn't it like grain? ”

Hearing Tang Wenyong say how to harvest the grain, Qiu Chen was also slightly surprised, and then said: "No, this doesn't need to be rolled, when it's dried, just rub the corn kernels on the top with your hands!" ”

Saying this, Qiu Chen simply took a small basket and showed it to Tang Wenyong, while collecting a small half basket of corn kernels, and then handed it to Daxing's family: "Take it and grind it and break it, use this to make porridge at noon, and then make a corn pancake!" ”

The Daxing family agreed, Qiu Chen turned back to look at Tang Wenyong, who was speechless and stopped, and said with a smile: "It's not so much to leave seeds." Wait for you to taste it and see if it tastes good...... It's not enough to just have a yield, it's hard to swallow and there is no way for the people to plant. ”

Tang Wenyong relaxed and nodded repeatedly. Qin Zheng stretched out his hand beside him, took down a corn cob from Qiu Chen's hand, pulled Qiu Chen's palm and looked at it, frowned, and said, "Don't rub it with your hands......"

Qiu Chen lowered his head when he heard this, only to find that the palm of his hand and the side of his thumb were already red and swollen, and it seemed that if he rubbed a few more corn cobs, he should have blisters.

Silently withdrawing back his palm, Qiu Chen lowered his head and blinked, raised his head and said to Qin Zheng: "Well, in fact, if you have more, you can still find a way to threshh with household goods...... I didn't expect it to be like this......"

Seeing Qin Zheng look at her without saying a word with a disapproving expression, Qiu Chen added inexplicably with some weakness: "Well, I'll just apply some ointment later, it's okay...... Won't do this again in the future. ”

Hearing this assurance, Qin Zheng glanced at her and turned his gaze back, leaned down and picked up a corn cob and looked at it.

Tang Wenyong poked Qiu Chen's arm, squeezed his eyebrows and whispered: "That guy always looks dead, as if everyone else owes him eight hundred taels of silver......

Qiu Chen looked at Tang Wenyong, suddenly smiled, and also lowered his voice and said, "In this way, there is a man who looks like a man!" ”

Tang Wenyong was dazzled by the smile of the flower that was close at hand, and he was distracted, just when he was stunned, he heard Qiu Chen say this, the confused and trance expression on his face instantly stiffened, and then he stared at Qiu Chen in astonishment, unable to speak.

Qiu Chen didn't care what kind of expression he had, got up in a good mood, patted the crumbs on his hands and said, "You guys go and rest, I'll go to the kitchen and take a look, and give you a few special flavors of corn." ”

Watching the woman leave with a smug face, Tang Wenyong came back to his senses, but in a blink of an eye, he saw someone staring at him with a smug face, and the corners of his mouth provoked a mocking smile.

"You're ...... Martial arts, shrews! Hum! Tang Wenyong stood up, smashed the corn cob in his hand directly, and then went back to the house to wash and rest.

Qin Zheng easily took the corn cob in his hand, lowered his eyes and rubbed it, and the corners of his mouth curved uncontrollably. Takeo? Shrew? And how!

Qin Yi and Qin Xiao were not far from Qin Zheng, and with their ear power, although Qiu Chen lowered his voice when he spoke, he still couldn't hide it from their ears.

They desperately lowered their heads at this time to hide the consternation and ...... on their faces Smile. The woman said that Hou Ye had a 'man's appearance'...... Such a bold and frank remark may seem very deviant at first glance, but inexplicably, they feel that such a woman dares to say and do, and has the courage to take responsibility, courage and courage...... In this way, they can be worthy of their Hou Ye, right?!

There are many people, and corn planting is limited, so all the corn was broken back in the morning, and even the corn stalks were transported back by horse-drawn carts and stacked under the north courtyard wall in the backyard.

At noon, a large pot of corn porridge was made, but only two plates of corn kernels and fried cakes were made.

Since Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen are engaged, Liu is naturally the mother-in-law. As soon as he entered the Xili room of the main room, he washed up and changed into clean clothes, and Qin Zheng entered the Sanjin Courtyard to meet him.

Qiu Chenren watched people cook in the kitchen, and he didn't know about Lu Dao at all......

Tang Wenyong held a corn tortilla in one hand, ate chopped pepper fish head, and nodded again and again: "Don't say it, this thing is quite delicious, the fragrance is unique, and when you chew it carefully, it has a sweet taste." ”

Qin Zheng, who was sitting opposite him, was not silent this time, and also nodded in agreement: "Well, that's good...... With this, there will be fewer hungry people in the world. ”

Tang Wenyong ate and chewed slightly, and then took a large amount of chopsticks and put the fish meat in his mouth to eat, and finally said: "Well, no matter what, the people take food as the sky, as long as they can eat and clothe, they don't care about anything else!" ”

Qin Zheng looked up at him, lowered his eyes and lowered his head to drink the porridge. There are some things that Tang Wenyong can say, but he can't answer.

Seeing that Qin Zheng was silent again, Tang Wenyong suddenly became bored, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and touched the table with a small piece of cake in his other hand, after all, he was reluctant to put it down, paused, simply raised his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed vigorously and swallowed.

This corn is undoubtedly Jiahe...... It's just that the situation is unclear at this time, if he uses this kind of Jiahe that can relieve the hunger of the people, maybe he will make a wedding dress for others...... As I just said, what the common people want is to be fed, clothed, and live in peace and joy, and they don't care who the person above them is...... If you really made a wedding dress for someone else...... Just those few brothers, there is no brotherhood at all, and they can't strangle the other brothers to death...... No, he definitely can't afford to be cheap to those people!

Thinking so in his heart, Tang Wenyong lost the interest in eating, put the chopsticks on the table, picked up a glass of wine and threw it up.

Qin Zheng ate unhurriedly, raised his eyes to look at Tang Wenyong, who was drinking, and said lightly: "What good things are so drunk will be ruined for you!" ”

Tang Wenyong waved his hand and threw the glass in his hand, Qin Zheng tilted his head slightly, raised his hand to catch the glass steadily, and put it back on the table: "This is not your half-idle pavilion......"

Tang Wenyong glared at him angrily, picked up a small corn tortilla and took a bite, chewed it fiercely, swallowed it in one gulp, felt bored, stood up irritably, and paced back and forth in the room.

"It's autumn and winter again, and it's time for smallpox to rage...... Well, there are so many children who have died of pox...... This matter ......" Tang Wenyong was irritable, his face full of distress.

"Someone has been sent to check, and the dead children are not caused by acne, but have been poisoned...... It's just that the poison is colorless, tasteless, and not toxic, and it doesn't have the characteristics of bleeding and bluish and black caused by ordinary poisons, and it can't be detected by ordinary tricks......" Qin Zheng recounted slowly, and then said, "I have already sent someone to rush to the southwest...... When the master comes back, these poisons will not be able to overwhelm his old man. ”

Tang Wenyong nodded, sat down a little gloomy, and sighed: "I thought that after the epidemic in Anyang and Shunqing last year, the people would respond more positively to the pox...... But I didn't expect this to happen...... That's a living life, that's the people of the Ming Dynasty...... If they have recklessly taken their lives here, if they have attained a great position in the future......"

As if he had seen some extremely terrifying and terrifying scene, Tang Wenyong's voice suddenly stuck in his throat, and then shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to throw something out of his head.

At this time, those people have not yet been put in the position...... There are still several times when he wants to kill him quickly, let alone after he gets the throne...... At that time, I'm afraid he's just a ...... Life is better than death...... He's just a life and death can't!

After lunch for a while, Qiu Chen took Ah Fu to take a short lunch break, Ah Fu got up and went to school, she also freshened up, changed into a bright maple leaf yellow knee-length arm, rubbed her fingers in the makeup box for a while The beeswax hibiscus, and finally changed a topaz cloud hairpin for Yufeng to save for her, got up and straightened the corners of her clothes and went to the West House.

Because the old man Yang and the eldest brother Yang Shuyong did not come over, the Zhou family accompanied the Liu family to live in the west room of the main house in Sanjin, Qiu Chen walked over and saw Yuhe sitting at the door of the west room and doing embroidery. Seeing Qiu Chen, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

Qiu Chen looked at the embroidery that Yuhe put in the needlework basket, it was a small piece of indigo plain satin fabric, and the rich and noble pattern of the peony in the middle had been embroidered.

“…… It's a forehead wipe for the old lady...... The old lady is old, and she is prone to wind and headaches, so if you wear this, you can get better......" Yu Lotus lined Qiu Chen's meaning and explained softly beside him.

Qiu Chen raised his eyes and looked at her, and was somewhat surprised to find that this girl, who was not very good when she bought it back at the beginning, actually became more and more beautiful when she didn't pay attention. Plus, it's a clever ,...... If you follow others, you can be so careful and thoughtful by the side of Mrs. Liu, and you can be regarded as doing your duty.

Nodding slightly, Qiu Chen said lightly: "This is your intention...... The old lady is a kind-hearted person, and if you serve you well, you will naturally not be able to treat you badly. Of course, if you serve our brothers and sisters in front of the old lady, we will remember your credit. ”

Yuhe prostrated on the ground excitedly and in surprise and fear, kowtowed: "Mrs. The slave doesn't dare to bear this, serving the old lady is the duty of the slave and the maid......"

"That's it! …… You remember what I said today! After speaking, he ignored the rain lotus, lifted the curtain and walked into the Xili room.

Liu and Zhou had already gotten up, and Zhou was waiting for Liu to get dressed. Qiu Chen saw that Liu was about to get off the kang, and hurriedly walked over and squatted down to put on Liu's shoes. Qing Xing, who came over, hurriedly stepped forward and half-knelt down for Qiu Chen to put on Liu's shoes.

Liu stood firm, stomped his feet, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, this sock that Haitang has figured out is really comfortable, not awkward at all, not sleepy and panicked, unlike the original cloth socks, after wearing it for a day, the ankles are numb." ”

Zhou also smiled and agreed: "Yes, these socks are not only not sleepy, but also warm, looking at the thin and soft layer, it is hotter than several layers of thick socks." ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "I just want to think about it, the work is all done by the girls." ”

As they spoke, Qingxing and Yuhe prepared water and waited for Liu and Zhou to freshen up one after another, the girls retreated, and the girls sat on the kang and talked.

Liu opened his mouth and said, "My uncle came over just now......

Qiu Chen was slightly surprised, and Zhou said, "I've seen it too...... The person's appearance and bearing naturally didn't say, and my mother and I were polite and thoughtful, but the person's face was too hard, and from entering the door to going out, I didn't see much of a smile! ”

Liu also sighed beside him: "This official is different, as soon as you sit there, it makes people feel nervous in their hearts......"

Qiu Chen couldn't stop laughing: "Mother, sister-in-law, he is a military attaché, a ...... who leads the troops"

Zhou patted his leg and said, "Oh, no wonder...... The military attache who leads the troops, how can he bluff people if he is not powerful! ”

Qiu Chen smiled silently, and Liu nodded and changed the topic: "Although this child was born in a high family, his face is a little colder, but he is polite and thoughtful, and he also respects me as an old woman...... I don't mean to look down on us...... Alas, seeing him like this, I can be considered relieved. It doesn't matter if the rest is that he treats you well, and treats Chengfu'er well......"

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, hid the emotion in his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Mother, sister-in-law, don't worry, although this person is from the army, he is also the one who knows books and etiquette, and will not treat our mother slowly...... Besides, I now have a workshop and a Zhuangzi, if there is a day when he bullies people, it will be a big deal for me to take my children to live...... Didn't you have a good time before! ”

Before the words fell, Liu slapped her on the back and scolded: "You kid is talking nonsense! Since you are married, you will live with others with all sincerity...... The two of them have lived for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be a little stumbling, how can you have such a mind? If it's good to live alone with children, why are you still married? …… You can't have this mind, do you hear that? ”

Without waiting for Qiu Chen to react, Zhou Shi also helped beside him: "What our mother said is reasonable, Begonia is good anywhere, but her temperament is too strong...... It's a good thing for you to be strong on the outside, and when you get married and become a family, you can't be strong against your own people. Be more considerate and care for some people, and discuss with others more about anything, men are the ones who set up their homes, what is there for men to handle more, you take good care of Fu'er Man'er, and then quickly recuperate your body, and strive to add a few boys and daughters as soon as possible...... Everything else can be put aside, this child is a big deal, without a child, two people are still separated, and with a child, it can be regarded as a family......"

Qiu Chen was dizzy when she heard this, seeing that Liu and Zhou were serious and solemn, she didn't dare to show anything, so she had to obediently hang her hands and listen, for a while, she looked at Liu and Zhou and said that she was tired, so she excused herself to go to see the workshop, smeared oil on the soles of her feet, and slipped out of the Xili room.

Taking Qingxing out of the Sanjin Courtyard, Qiu Chen came all the way to the front. Just now it reminded her of one thing, the fish and lotus roots in the pond in front of the door should also be harvested. Otherwise, when the weather is colder, you will suffer when you go into the water.

In the front yard, the family girls and mothers-in-law have already stripped off the corn coat, and hung them on the eaves and courtyard walls one by one, golden and yellow, and the large bunches of red peppers contrast with each other, and the whole yard is overflowing with heavy harvest joy.

Zhao Jiu and a few family members were hanging corn on the eaves and courtyard walls, and when they saw Qiu Chen coming out, they hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Madam, I see that our harvest this time is even better than the last one...... The corn mallet is larger than the previous one, and there are more particles...... Just now, Brother Qingshan and Brother Manho estimated it once, and said that this time we have a harvest of twelve stones. ”

Even if Qiu Chen had a rough guess in his heart before, when he got the good news from other people's mouths, especially Qingshan and Manchu, who were familiar with farming, he still couldn't help but be happy: "Twelve stones...... There are really twelve stones, and no one will go hungry in our Zhuangzi next year. ”

Zhao Jiu also said with joy on his face: "Yes, yes, or my wife is kind-hearted, and the first thing that comes to mind is the days of the villagers." ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said: "The harvest of the farmers is good, it is easy for us to harvest tenants, and the harvest is more, isn't it?" The small river has water and the big river is full, and it is the same truth! ”

As he was talking, Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong also walked out of the house. Qiu Chen stepped forward to greet with a smile, and the two sides saluted, Tang Wenyong smiled and said, "Is there any happy event?" ”

Qiu Chen didn't hide it, and said directly: "Just now the housekeeper told me that there are two Zhuang neighbors who are proficient in farming, and they estimated that this time the corn can almost have a harvest of twelve stones, do you think you should be happy?" ”

Tang Wenyong raised his eyebrows and was stunned for a moment, and then he was also surprised: "Twelve stones? So much...... Oh, what a great event! ”

After saying that, Tang Wenyong remembered the matter of the DPRK, a haze flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "If there is really a harvest of twelve stones, Yang Shuren will be a great achievement this time!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at Tang Wenyong and said with a smile: "What kind of great achievement is this...... I just happened to get this seed and planted it again...... If you talk about it, God also bless me Daming, and send down such good things to save the people from famine, so that the people of Daming can live in peace and establish a career, and the country and the people will be safe. ”

Tang Wenyong was stunned for a moment, wanted to laugh, opened his mouth but couldn't laugh out loud, touched his nose very stupidly, raised his foot and walked over to the ears of corn that were hung on the side.

This kind of cliché that praises and pursues, he has heard it since he was a child, and he has seen it since he was a child, and he has long been tired of it...... You said that you are a good and cheerful woman, why don't you learn these things well!

Looking at Tang Wenyong's gloomy face in a blink of an eye, Qiu Chen was a little inexplicable, and turned to Qin Zheng for advice: "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Qin Zheng shook his head, glanced at Tang Wenyong, who had already gone over to talk to Zhao Jiupan, and said, "You didn't say anything wrong...... He has something on his mind, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

"That's good......" Qiu Chen lowered his eyes, and unexpectedly sounded Zhou's advice just now in his heart, and after a little muttering, he said, "Although the high yield of this corn is a good thing, I think that there was a plague last year, and this year there are cowpox and clairvoyance, it would be too ostentatious to get another corn out...... This matter, see if you can press it for two years, two years later, there will be more than one plant, and it will not be so eye-catching to report it again, do you think it will be okay? ”

Qin Zheng watched the little woman whisper and discuss with herself, her originally calm and waveless eyes slowly overflowed with infinite tenderness and joy, and after listening to Qiu Chen's words, Qin Zheng nodded without hesitation: "Well, you are right...... You can rest assured, you don't have to worry about how you plant it, how you plant it, give it away or sell it...... As soon as next autumn, if it is possible, it will be best to report the harvest in the autumn of the following year......"

After saying this, Qin Zheng changed the topic and said softly: "I have already sent someone to the southwest to find Master Mu, presumably Man'er will be back soon!" ”

"Oh, really?" Qiu Chen was full of joy. Speaking of which, she didn't feel anything about the corn harvest of ten stones and twelve stones, but the little girl was gone for more than half a year, which made her worry day and night, and she was naturally surprised to hear that the little girl could come back.

After getting Qin Zheng's confirmation with a smile, Qiu Chen almost jumped up, and said to Qin Zheng with a happy face: "Xie Lu, thank you for telling me this good news, it's really good...... If you don't come back, Man'er may not know me anymore! ”

Qin Zheng laughed slightly. What a woman is ...... How can a child forget his mother?!

However, when he thought about it, the smile on his face dissipated, because he subconsciously remembered his mother, but he couldn't remember what his mother's face looked like...... He just remembered what other people had said to him about his mother, how much she loved him, and how much she expected from him...... As for what my mother said and did, I can't remember clearly. Not to mention the mother's temperament, which is loved and hated...... He doesn't know any of this!

Qiu Chen happily muttered to himself for a long time, then turned his eyes back to Qin Zheng and said, "As soon as there is news, please send me a message, and I can also prepare." ”

This is a trivial matter, and Qin Zheng naturally will not refuse.

After a pause, Qin Zheng's gaze swept over Qin Yi and Qin Xiao who were standing behind him, and the two of them immediately retreated a little farther away, and remained on alert, in case someone disturbed the two masters from talking.

Qiu Chen didn't seem to pay attention to this small movement, thanked him with a happy face, followed Qin Zheng out of the courtyard, and walked all the way to the backyard along the sandwich road. Qin Yi and Qin Xiao took Qiu Chen's two girls and followed more than a dozen steps behind.

Coming to the backyard, Qiu Chen naturally walked towards the vegetable garden, and Qin Zheng had no objection, naturally following Qiu Chen's footsteps.

"In addition to corn, this potato is also a good thing...... The general sandy soil is thin and not easy to cultivate, but it is the most suitable to grow it. There is no need to be too delicate, as long as there are no diseases and pests, the yield will not be lower than that of corn. Moreover, we can harvest two crops after planting here...... Further south, it's easier to plant two crops. After calculation, one acre of sandy land can harvest more than 20 or even 30 stone potatoes, which is enough for a family of five...... Moreover, this can not only replace the food tube full, but also can be cooked, and it can also extract the paste inside, make snacks, and make food, which is very useful. ”

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman who was full of energy, and the trace of decline in his eyes disappeared unconsciously, leaving only his eyes full of tenderness and pampering.

"Sounds like a good thing!" Qin Zheng echoed with a hint of a smile.

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Of course, if you get it, this is much more valuable than corn." Moreover, this is shelf-stable, and with it, there will be a lot of dishes in winter! ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen bent down and pulled out four or five large potatoes under the potatoes on the side, beckoned Qingxing to take a basket to hold them, clapped his hands, and followed Qin Zheng along the ridge of the vegetable furrow, slowly admiring the vigorous vegetables growing in the vegetable field, while talking in a low voice.

On that day, when Mrs. Tang went to get married, she also asked about the wedding date, and the presiding master of the Iron Tower Temple said that there was only one good day left in September and October this winter...... September is obviously too late, and in October, the holy car will return to Beijing, and I will have to go back to the capital once, so it will not work. …… But March 19 next year is an auspicious day, but it will take a little longer......"

Although they discussed marriage before, and after three ceremonies, and even the marriage book was ordered, it can be said that the two of them are almost equivalent to the legal couple who have received the certificate and have not held the ceremony. But Qiu Chen has never had much sense of substitution...... Her reason clearly knows that she wants to marry and get married, but she is busy as if she is being manipulated by others.

It wasn't until this moment that she heard Qin Zheng discussing the marriage date, and after her initial shock, she also happened to hear the last sentence that Qin Zheng said, and almost subconsciously blurted out: "Not long, not long...... Well, I mean it takes time to prepare a dowry! ”
