Day 2
When Xia Cicada got up, Lin had already made breakfast, Xia Cicada helped Lin put breakfast on the table, Forestry followed behind to help set the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Lin Mu sat on the bed and dressed, and the family looked very warm. Xia Cicada saw that Lin Mu was barely dressed, and wanted to step forward to help, but was picked up by Lin Mu
"Eldest sister, you can let the younger sister wear it herself. When I was five years old, I was able to help my mother make medicine. Now the little sister can't even wear clothes. Although Forestry was a little dissatisfied in his mouth, he could see that Lin Mu's eyes were full of pampering, and Xia Cicada saw this and returned to the dinner table with a smile. Lin Mu is smart, he understands that his situation is different from the past, and he also knows that his strength is useless, and the whole family can only be stronger when they work together.
"Lin Mu, when you're done eating, help me do something first, and then boil medicine for your mother." Remembering the state of the wheat field when I came back from town yesterday, and the situation to be dealt with today, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, and I took a bite of food and looked at the forestry
Forestry put the chopsticks and looked at Xia Cicada, listened carefully to Xia Cicada's words, nodded hurriedly, and didn't care about eating, so he ran out with chopsticks, Xia Cicada hurriedly shouted when he saw this
"Why are you in a hurry, I'll go after eating." This temperament is too anxious.
The forestry head will not shout, "Let's eat it when we come back, this matter is more important." "I am also from a farming family, so I naturally understand the importance of this matter.
After eating, Lin went to the kitchen to wash dishes and chopsticks, and Xia Cicada went outside to pick up hay and feed the cows. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the father and son of the Li family next door walking in front of her house with hoes. used to have a good neighborhood relationship, but after yesterday's trouble, the two families felt a little embarrassed when they saw each other. Xia Cicada smiled politely at them, and turned to the haystack on the side. Li Da saw this. quickly stepped forward and wanted to pull Xia Chan's arm, but Xia Cicada dodged and dodged it
"What's wrong, Brother Li, what's wrong?" Xia Chan looked up with a gentle smile on her face
Li Da still wanted to step forward, but when he heard Xia Chan's words, he remembered Xia Chan's straightforward words yesterday, and took back the steps he raised. The look on his face changed and changed
"Sister Erya. Yesterday's events were all my fault, can you not be angry with my mother? She's not a hearted reads();. She ....... "She just said the wrong thing in a moment's hurry." When the latter words came to his mouth, Li Da opened his mouth several times but didn't say it. His eyes stared straight at Xia Chan, for fear of missing the expression on her face.
Xia Chan glanced at Uncle Li and Li Er not far away. Chong Li smiled and smiled: "Brother Li, you think too much." Am I not clear about my aunt's temper? She said that for your own good, too. Don't do anything like that again. You are also a big boss, and when the wheat in the field is harvested, when you have money, you will quickly marry a daughter-in-law and come back to honor Uncle Li and Aunt Li. ”
"But you know," Li Da said with an eager expression. Before he finished speaking, Xia Chan suddenly interrupted what he was about to say, "Wait until I discuss with the people who grow winter wheat in the village about the little green worms on the ears of wheat." If you have time, come and listen. ”
Every year, soon after the wheat ears are spewed, many small green bugs will crawl on the ears of wheat to affect the quality of the wheat. In modern times a pot of pesticides went to solve, but in ancient times. They could only watch anxiously. Now that I heard Xia Chan say that she had a way to solve it, Uncle Li, who was standing on the side, couldn't take care of Li Da's mood at this time, so he walked a few steps forward. looked at Xia Cicada with a happy face
"Erya, is what you said true? Do you really have a solution to those little green worms? ”
Xia Chan turned his head and looked at Uncle Li. Nodding at him, "Yes, you go back to breakfast now, and we will discuss it when everyone arrives, for farming, I am naturally not as experienced as you, I have already written the recipe, no accident, there should be no problem." ”
"Okay, okay, then I'll hurry home for dinner now, and you will definitely wait for Uncle Li and me when I come over." After Uncle Li finished speaking, he pulled Li Da and Li Er and walked home, Li Da was a little reluctant, and turned back three times in one step, his face full of loss. Xia Chan shook her head and took a bundle of hay back to the yard.
After coming back, Forestry ate a few mouthfuls of food casually and went to the kitchen with the medicine jar, and when Xia Cicada returned to the yard with hay, Lin had already finished washing, and was sitting in the yard with Lin Mu with a bench. A five-year-old little kid, sitting there with a serious handkerchief, how did Xia Cicada look at it and feel strange, put the hay in the cowshed, washed his hands and walked to the forest to squat, looked at the handkerchief in the girl's hand, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face
"Auntie, I didn't expect the little girl to be serious and quite like that, look at this plum blossom rust, it's the same as the real thing." Xia Chan glanced at it a few times, pulled over the stool on the side and sat down, his eyes full of envy. She has never said a plum blossom in her life, and she is very satisfied with being able to make clothes well.
Lin glanced up at Xia Chan, saw her with envy, and smiled in a low voice. She had seen this girl's needlework on the first day she moved in. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I really couldn't believe that such a handsome girl didn't know anything about needlework.
"Mu Mu is really talented, I started to learn embroidery with my mother when I was three years old, but I didn't have Mu Mu when I was five years old." After speaking, he glanced at Xia Chan again, "Dongjia, do you want to learn?" I can teach you too. ”
"Forget it, I wasn't born that material. My mother taught me at the beginning, but in the end she gave up. I won't delay you. Xia Chan got up and put the stool aside, "I'll go into the house first, and someone will come and call me later." ”
"Okay."
Three days ago, she made an appointment with the head of the Xiao family and the village chief to talk about the distribution of land in three days, and today is the third day, and it will not be too early, and they will come soon. Xia Cicada went into the house to practice calligraphy, and when the one was almost finished, a group of people from the old house entered the courtyard. Xia Cicada heard a noise outside, and looked through the window, but she didn't expect them to come quite completely. Looks like I can't wait......
Xia Chan stood up and walked out of the house, and when he came to the courtyard, the Liu family was talking to the Lin family with a master's attitude. Seeing this, Xia Chan's face darkened a little, walked a few steps quickly, and said hello to the village head, the head of the Xiao family
"The weather is good today, so let's discuss it in the yard." After saying that, without giving them a chance to refute, Xia Chan turned his head to look at Lin, "Auntie, help me move three stools over reads();." ”
"There are so many of us, how can three stools be enough." Huang glanced at Xia Chan dissatisfied, and said to Lin, "Go, move a few more." My sister-in-law won't want to recognize our poor relatives after she separates from her eldest brother. ”
Seeing this, Lin glanced at Xia Chan with some embarrassment, Xia Chan was not annoyed, and smiled at Huang
"Look at what the second brother and sister said, I generously gave 50 acres of fertile land to my father and mother, isn't it enough to take care of you? I think you also know what the Xia family was like before. I didn't mean to keep you from doing it. It's that we really don't have that many benches in our house. As for the house, my mother died in the main house, and it was just after the day. I don't want them to listen to these annoying worlds, right? ”
Xia Chan's words were sincere, even the head of the Xiao family couldn't find a mistake. What else can Huang say. glared at Xia Chan unwillingly, and retreated behind Xiao Erlang. No more talking.
Seeing this, Xia Chan smiled. He nodded at Lin.
Soon Lin came over with three benches. One stool was given to the village chief, one stool was given to the Xiao family head, and the last Lin family asked again. Xia Chan walked over and picked up the stool herself
Pacing to Old Man Xiao and Liu said
"Uncle, aunt, there is still a stool left, which one of you sits?"
The two didn't expect Xia Chan to ask, they were stunned for a moment, and then Liu took the lead and snatched the stool in Xia Chan's hand. Seeing this, Xia Chan showed an apologetic expression at Old Man Xiao
"Since this is the case, then I can only grieve my uncle to stand up." When he turned around, he gave Liu a look of disdain. Obviously, Old Man Xiao looked unwell, but Liu snatched the stool without letting him, he was really selfish, and at the same time he felt sorry for Old Man Xiao, marrying such a daughter-in-law, he would definitely not be happy in this life.
However, when it was all someone else's housework, it was obviously her who would not be easy. You see, the people in the courtyard are all not good.
Xia Chan asked Lin to pour a few cups of tea and send them over, and he went to the kitchen again and explained a few words to the forestry.
"Erya, three days have passed, and we are here today to ask you if the title deed is ready." When the patriarch of the Xiao family saw Xia Chan coming out of the kitchen, he immediately got straight to the point
Xia Chan's eyes flashed slightly, glanced at the patriarch of the Xiao family, and smiled, "What is the patriarch anxious about, I just said three days ago to go back and think about it, after all, it is fifty acres of fertile land, not five acres." But I didn't say that I would agree in the end. Look at what the patriarch meant just now, I have no choice, I have to give? ”
"I didn't say that, I just asked for Old Man Xiao." The patriarch of the Xiao family saw that Xia Chan didn't save him any face at all, and his face was a little unbearable. directly put the responsibility on Old Man Xiao.
"I see!" Xia Chan smiled and glanced at Old Man Xiao on the side, and continued: "Since the patriarch has already spoken first, then I will be more direct." No matter whose money was used to buy those 100 acres of fertile land, now that the title deed is in my hands, I will not give it to anyone. Don't say fifty acres, even one acre, I won't let you. ”
"You ......" didn't say it well that day, why did you change your hexagram today. The people in the old mansion, as well as the village chief and the Xiao family head, all looked at Xia Chan in disbelief. Liu Shi was even more angry, pointing at Xia Chan angrily, if his eyes could kill, it was estimated that Xia Cicada would have been killed dozens of times.
"You're kidding us. That day, it was clear that you promised us the title deed in three days, and today you will change the hexagram if you say it. No, the 100 acres of fertile land were originally our family's husband's, and giving you 50 acres is enough to be benevolent and righteous, so you don't have to inch in. (To be continued.) )
