At the beginning, Lu Xiaoyi optimistically estimated that there would be followers in the village at the end of the year at the latest, but now it seems that she did underestimate the IQ of the ancients.

In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person who participated in the work for half a year, and she was also an ordinary village girl in ancient times, if you want to talk about advantages, she may be more mature than children of the same age, but compared to adults, she has no advantages. After all, her ideas are incompatible with this era, some concepts are her strengths, some ideas are what she must hide, and once exposed, she is an outlier.

Lu Xiaoyi calmed down, added a little strength to Lu Zhong's shoulder beating hand, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, you have been doing it for half a year, and there are many regular customers, and their newcomers must be more anxious than you." ”

Lu Zhong looked confident in front of his daughter, "Your father is not in a hurry!" You didn't see the new arrival's depressed faces today. After speaking, Lu Zhong laughed, as if the person with a sad face just now was not him.

Lu Xiaoyi pursed his lips and smiled, and then said: "The more people who join, the better, the less money they make, and they will naturally quit when they are not interested." ”

Yulan glanced at Xiao Yi, "You think that you have a brain, maybe others think the same way." ”

"Then it's compared to consumption, mother, their energy consumption, what can't we afford? The chickens in the family have begun to lay eggs, and buying eggs is also an income. ”

Speaking of eggs, Yulan had a smile on her face, "Let's take the time to carry those two baskets of eggs into the city and sell them, don't spoil them." ”

"Mother, I want to go to the city too." Lu Xiaoyi has only been to Yifu City once in his dream, and he has the impression that it is a very prosperous city, and he has not been there for so long.

Xiao Ding Xiao Geng also shouted to go, Xiao Geng was even more naughty, rolled into Lu Zhong's arms and coquettish, Lu Zhong smiled and patted his son's ass a few times, "When the rain stops, go shopping." ”

"You take the children, I won't go." Magnolia Road.

"If you don't go, if someone in the city asks me to haul the goods, what will the children do?" Lu Zhong's passenger business is light, and the focus is on hauling goods.

"Do you want to go to Uncle's house?" Magnolia asked.

Lu Zhong thought for a while, "Let's go, grandmother hasn't been back to the village for so many years, and the children haven't seen their great-grandmother yet!" ”

"I heard that my grandmother's health is getting worse and worse, so it stands to reason that we should have taken our children to visit a long time ago, and I don't know why my grandmother didn't let us go." Yulan sighed, she hadn't seen this grandmother since she passed the door, and she heard that she had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law, so she was angry and moved to the city, almost no contact with the second room.

"I have the impression that my grandmother was a very strict person, and when I was a child, my second brother and I made a mistake and hit us on the buttocks with a stick thick with a thumb." Lu Zhong talked about the troubles when he was a child in front of the children, his face was a little uncomfortable, coughed a few times, and pretended to touch his throat.

Yulan rarely heard Lu Zhong mention things when she was a child, and she couldn't help but be curious, "Is my cousin also beaten like this?" ”

Lu Zhong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Maybe it's me and my second brother who are naughty, and no cousin is obedient." ”

Magnolia pursed her lips and smiled, how could she not understand this.

Lu Xiaoyi also understood, the cousin in Lu Zhong's mouth wanted to like his great-grandmother very much, so he rarely got beaten.

Xiao Geng looked up from Lu Zhong's arms and asked stupidly, "Dad, how did your great-grandmother beat you?" ”

Lu Zhong smiled and turned his son over, and patted his ass a few times, "That's it." ”

Xiao Geng's calves kicked and turned, and he couldn't turn over when he wanted to, Lu Zhong hit a few more times, but Xiao Geng smiled happily.

As for the things that I was worried about just now, I have long been forgotten by the family.

Before going to the city, Yulan plans to take the child back to her parents' house.

I picked a warm autumn day, took out two boxes of tea prepared in advance, a few bags of snacks, candy and a jar of good wine, grabbed two big roosters and a big basket of eggs, and happily sat on my donkey cart.

Lu Xiaoyi and Xiao Ding were next to each other, Yulan was sitting opposite with Xiao Geng in her arms, and Lu Zhong was skillfully driving the car in front.

To be honest, the car in ancient times was not comfortable to sit on, it was rickety and bumpy, and Xiao Ding had already begun to cover his mouth and want to vomit.

Lu Xiaoyi was okay, she took Xiao Ding's hand and talked to her to distract herself, halfway through, Xiao Ding couldn't hold it back, and she vomited when she got out of the car.

The family took a break for tea and continued to drive towards Wangjiaba.

Xiao Ding leaned on Xiao Yi's shoulder, closed his mouth and didn't want to speak, his teary eyes were really pitiful.

Lu Xiaoyi tilted his head to look at the scenery along the way.

In the autumn countryside, there are yellow and green colors everywhere, and the fields are brown crop stubble, and under the moisture of the autumn rain, the left seeds send out tender green buds, these seedlings are born at the wrong time, and they are destined to freeze to death in the cold winter if they do not harvest the fruit. From time to time, golden leaves fall on both sides of the road, swirling like butterflies in the autumn wind, gorgeous and depressed.

Wangjiaba is also such an autumn scene, the only difference is that the warm and gentle smile of the grandmother Wang Pozi has put a unique brand on the same rural autumn scene.

"If you want to come, you won't bring a letter in advance, I'll be ready." Mrs. Wang complained, her eyes were indeed full of smiles, how could she look like she was half powerful.

Xiao Geng shouted coquettishly: "Grandmother." Standing on the edge of the car, he threw himself into the arms of the princess, and was hugged into the arms of the princess and shouted heartily.

A round-faced and chubby woman smiled and helped Yulan get out of the car, and then reached out to hug the two sisters.

Lu Xiaoyi was not sure, so he didn't dare to say hello, waiting for Xiao Ding to speak first.

"Auntie." Xiao Ding shouted obediently.

Lu Xiaoyi also greeted with a smile.

"I broke my leg last time, and my aunt didn't have time to come to see you, and I heard your uncle say that you also broke your tongue." The eldest aunt laughed and teased Xiao Yi.

Lu Xiaoyi lowered his head and pretended to be shy.

Mrs. Wang stepped forward to relieve the siege, "It's all that kid from Yutang who said nonsense, you take it seriously as a sister-in-law." ”

The eldest aunt laughed.

Lu Zhong lifted the things off the car, and three more women came out of the courtyard, all of whom cleaned up neatly and helped move east and west.

Lu Xiaoyi followed Xiao Ding to call everyone again, silently remembering in his heart that the eldest aunt has a round face and white flesh, the second aunt has a long face with dimples, the third aunt has a long face and the corners of her mouth are ambitious, and the little aunt has the best melon seed face.

After greeting them one by one, several cousins and cousins also came out, and surrounded Sister Lu Xiaoyi and asked long and short questions, and Xiao Geng also slipped down from the arms of Mrs. Wang and became her cousin's little follower.

"Chunyun, you take Xiao Yi and them to the backyard to see the flowers!" After the eldest aunt finished instructing the eldest daughter, she said to a tall young man: "Chunsheng, you are responsible for taking Xiao Geng to play, don't let him fall!" ”

So, the eldest cousin Chunyun led the team to take Lu Xiaoyi and the little girls to the backyard.

The courtyard of the Wang family is not small, two sets before and after, the path paved with bluestone slabs runs through the two courtyards, there are several fruit trees planted in the front yard, and the pineapple and red dates are heavy and falling, and it is gratifying to see. A sparse yellow leaf grape vine stands aside, and a few dead leaves fall on the stone table and bench below. When I arrived in the backyard, my eyes were full of colorful chrysanthemums, only to see yellow, purple, burgundy chrysanthemums, and the straight and scattered petals were colorful.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding were excited, and they ran over with a chatter, touching this and touching that, as if they couldn't see enough. Although Chunyun Chunyu and Chunling have seen the beauty of chrysanthemums for a long time, they are now infected by the Xiaoyi sisters, and they are also enthusiastic to choose the most beautiful flowers.

"Cousin B, look how good this chrysanthemum is blooming!" Chunyun picked up a hanging bulbous flower and smiled at Lu Xiaoyi.

"Wow wow!" Lu Xiaoyi looked at the yellow flower like a pom-pom, jumped over, and lifted the chrysanthemum in Chunyun's hand, "It's so beautiful!" ”

Chunling is the youngest of several girls, she playfully picked a white-petaled astragalus chrysanthemum, put it in the bun for Xiao Ding, and clapped her hands happily and shouted: "Look at Cousin Ding, it's so beautiful!" ”

Xiao Ding's face was red, and he carefully touched the small flowers on the bun, and his delicate appearance provoked several little girls to follow suit, picking their favorite flowers and inserting them in the bun.

"Cousin, who planted this flower? Not before. Xiao Ding asked.

Chunling looked proud, "My father!" "Chunling is the eldest daughter of Lu Xiaoyi's uncle, and she is now five years old.

"Look at your pride, your little tail is cocked!" Chunyun said with a smile.

Knowing that there was no little tail, Chunling couldn't help but turn around and look behind her buttocks, "Big sister, I don't have a little tail." ”

Lu Xiaoyi saw that her little cousin was cute, and couldn't help but tease her, "The little tail just came out, and I saw it too." ”

Chunling puffed out her cheeks, snorted, and leaned against Xiao Ding's side with a blushing face, "Cousin B is bad, it's better than Cousin Ding." ”

Chunyun couldn't help but smile, "Yes, yes, our uncle is the most powerful, the chrysanthemums are well raised, and the lotus flowers in the fish pond are even more beautiful." ”

Chunling likes to hear people praise her father the most, smiling and revealing a row of fine teeth.

Chunyun said to Lu Xiaodao: "If Cousin B had come earlier, she would have been able to go to the fish pond to see the lotus flowers, which would be beautiful." ”

"Cousin, I want to go now." Lu Xiaoyi wanted to talk to his uncle about fish farming, and he had some ideas about fish farming in his mind, although he couldn't say it explicitly.

So, Chunyun took Lu Xiaoyi and them out of the back door, and a group of little girls went to the direction of the fish pond with a smile.

After walking about three miles out of the village to the foot of the mountain, a pool of clear water suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xiaoyi's eyes.

Chunling ran towards the two thatched huts in the corner of the fish pond, "Dad, Dad." ”

Wang Yutang came out when he heard the voice, saw the person coming, and showed a mouthful of white teeth with a smile, "Yo ho, Xiao Yi'er and Xiao Ding'er are here!" ”

The two sisters shouted sweetly: "Uncle." ”

"When did you come from? didn't say hello in advance, otherwise my uncle would have rushed to pick it up. ”

Lu Xiaoyi likes her uncle, "When I first came, I clamored to come and see my uncle!" ”

"Let my uncle take a look, huh! The lame tongue has grown, and he is willing to shout! ”

Lu Xiaoyi saw that her uncle was still joking about not calling him at the beginning, and she was forced to speak at the beginning, but now that the local language of Xiaxi Village has passed, of course, she has no scruples, Lu Xiaoyi stuck out her tongue, "Na, look!" The tongue is grown! ”

"I've never seen a girl with such a long tongue, it's ugly!" Yutang looked disgusted, but the corners of his mouth turned up, and his whole face looked funny.

Chunyun also covered her mouth and laughed at Lu Xiaoyi, she didn't care, hum, what's so strange about sticking out her tongue.

"Let's go, my uncle will take you around the fish pond."

The fish pond is in a mountain bay in the east of Wangjiaba, the once natural pond, now bought by the Wang brothers, after a few months of repair, completely changed the appearance, the once dilapidated pond foundation is now filled, rammed to be firm and compact, the dead trees around the pond have been cleaned up, and the mud path of Raotang has also been paved with narrow bluestone slabs. The withered lotus leaves are scattered in the pond, some of them are sluggish, and occasionally the ripples caused by the fish touching the water ripple in a circle, and when they encounter the dry lotus stems, they diffract into more water lines.

Lu Xiaoyi looked all the way, feeling the hard work of his uncles in the fish pond, Yutang was even more excited, and he couldn't stop talking about the fish pond.
