After the Qingming Festival, the sandstorm gradually decreased, the crops in the tuntian and wasteland grew gratifyingly, and after the beginning of the summer of March 20, the sandstorm has completely disappeared, Wu Jin took people to practice riding and archery in the school field these days, and was busy with the desert grassland in the afternoon, but he was busier than Situ Yan. even went home at night, and fell asleep on the kang without saying a few words to Situ Yan.

Situ Yan knew that Wu Jin and the plug were a little tired these days, and made a lot of delicious food and drink for the two of them. Even the family's medicine fields and horses are taken care of by her. In fact, she also wanted to go to the pasture to help, but Wu Jin didn't want her to run out often, so even though there were many things at home, she still had a lot of time in the afternoon.

She is also an idle person, thinking about it, she thinks that it is better to raise livestock first, anyway, sooner or later. It's just that at the moment, I can't decide whether it's better to raise camels or sheep.

It was rare that Wu Jin came back early on this day, and after dinner, he discussed with Wu Jin, "Brother, I want to raise some livestock, do you think it is better to raise camels or sheep?" ”

"You have to have forage for livestock, and there is not even a single green leaf on the pasture at this time, pointing to these fodders at home, I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise and feed?" Wu Jin also thinks that raising some livestock can increase income, but when he thinks of the problem of feed, he is a little worried. And he didn't want his little sister to work too hard.

"I've also thought about this, now that spring has begun, grass can always be found in the fields and ravines at the foot of the mountain, I still want to try it?" In fact, as long as it is something that Situ Yan decides, even if Wu Jin opposes it, she will find a way to convince.

Wu Jin also knew the temperament of the little sister, thought about it for a while, and still compromised, "It's okay!" As long as Yan'er likes it. It's just that although the camel is sold at a higher price, it can only be used in the desert, and the camel meat is not delicious, it is better to raise sheep, this northwest mutton is easy to sell, and he went to the battalion commander's house before, and he also roasted a whole sheep to entertain his brother and a few tun chiefs. "Wu Jin didn't eat mutton much before. However, the last time he went to the battalion commander's house, he felt that the roast mutton was still very fragrant, so he thought that it was better to raise sheep.

"Well, I also think it's good to raise sheep. And if the goat's milk and wool are used well, there will be more income in the future. After Wu Jin's reminder, Situ Yan secretly calculated an account in her heart, and felt that raising sheep was more cost-effective, mainly because Wu Jin mentioned roast mutton. In her previous life, she loved to eat kebabs, and goat's milk was a good thing, if she thought of making goat's milk into a snack, she was afraid that the dim sum shop she opened after returning to Beijing would not be prosperous. I couldn't help but touch the ring on my hand, I lost this fresh-keeping ring, otherwise even if I made a snack at this time, it would not be long ago.

After the matter was settled, Situ Yan and Bolt began to build a sheepfold, after all, these sheep and horses cannot be mixed together. Fortunately, the sheepfold is easier to build than the stable. After two busy days, it has been built.

Early in the morning of the third day, Situ Yan called the bolt and went into the border city to buy sheep breeds. This breed is not easy to buy elsewhere. But there are a lot of them in the northwest, and they are not very expensive, at least in Situ Yan's opinion, they are cheaper than those sold in the capital. But in the eyes of ordinary people, a sheep costs 15 taels of silver, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary people.

After buying 20 ewes, 10 rams, and a donkey cart, it was convenient for Wu Jin and the bolts or the families of the military families in Tunzi to go out into the city, so they pulled the wheat bran, chaff and bud dregs they bought and went back.

This time the snow wolf coke is here. actually acted as a shepherd dog to help Situ Yan drive the sheep, and in his opinion, these sheep were all his food. It was only when it happily returned to Juntun that he realized that these sheep could only be seen and could not be eaten, and he was so angry that he ignored Situ Yan for several days. For this Situ Yan made roast chicken and rabbit for Snow Wolf for several days, so she coaxed it well.

When the soldiers in the tunzi got the letter, they all went to Situ Yan's house to watch the excitement, but they knew that this sheep was very valuable. I didn't expect Team Wu to be so rich in his family, and he bought thirty heads at once, but these people just got Wu Jin's favor, and they were just curious at this time, but no one came to make trouble. Situ Yan is also happy to worry, and there is no need to explain to these people.

In fact, even if these people make trouble, she is not afraid, she is not a military household, and her status as a good person is her best umbrella.

"Yan'er, you bought so much sheep, don't talk about the forage, you still have to take care of the medicine field, where can you be busy?" Wu Jin had dinner in the evening and discussed with his little sister about feeding the sheep. I'm worried that she'll get tired.

"I can still be busy now, I'm afraid that when the autumn harvest comes, it will be a little difficult, but then I can ask someone to help, just raise it first!" Situ Yan is not afraid of being tired, she is happy when she has something to do, not to mention that these things can be exchanged for money, and the days when she counts money are her happiest days.

"Now the sheep have been bought, and that's all the way it is. But if you are tired, you will sell it, and now that my brother has a monthly salary and Lu rice, it is not difficult to support a family? Wu Jin also knew that this could only be the case at the moment, but he still reminded the little sister worriedly.

"Got it! Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of myself! Situ Yan knew that Wu Jin was worried about her body, and although she didn't care about Wu Jin's idea, she still nodded in response.

Situ Yan and Wu Jin are busy with the desert pastures, livestock and tuntian, and Duanmu Xuan's side is not easy, the horses that he borrowed money to buy in the first month, although he doesn't have to rush to find a way to pay for it at this time, but he has to be in charge of the conduct of the entire Northwest Army, spying, grain and grass, garrison and other things, and he is also busy from morning to night, but there is no time to spare.

It wasn't until the day of Lixia that it was a little empty, and as soon as the person walked out of the general's mansion and wanted to go to the military tun to have a look, he saw Mo Feng chasing him out, "Young master, where are you going?" The county lieutenant handed over the name, saying that there was an urgent matter and he would come to the house to visit? ”

"He will pick a day, Mo Yu will bring back 'Ben Xiao'!" Duanmu Xuan was also very helpless, he hadn't seen Situ Yan since the day of Qingming, although he knew that it was indeed inappropriate to go at this time, but where could his reason be worth missing, and his body involuntarily wanted to run to the military camp.

"Yes!" Mo Yu already felt that it was inappropriate to go to Juntun at this time, but he didn't dare to persuade him, but now he was busy leading the horse back to the stable.

"Young master, do you want to see Miss Situ?" Mo Feng asked tentatively, but seeing that the young master just frowned and didn't answer, he didn't dare to ask again.

By the time the county lieutenant had lunch and left, it was already past noon, and the officials were still waiting for a reply, so Duanmu Xuan naturally had no choice but to leave the house. At night, Duanmu Xuan held on to the wine jug, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

didn't look up, as if talking to himself, he asked Mo Feng who was standing by the door and waiting. "Will the people sent to the military camp be rewarded in the past few days?"

Mo Fengleng paused for a moment before he realized that the young master was asking him, and hurriedly replied a few steps forward, "Back to the young master, there has been a report from his subordinates this afternoon." Young Master Wu has been busy with ethics and Tuntian these days, but Miss Situ has bought a lot of sheep, and his subordinates have inquired, it seems that he is planning to raise sheep! ”

"Yan'er is busier than me, a general. I remember that she only opened the land to plant herbs last month, but now she raised sheep again, as if she reported before, Zhongxian and Yan'er seem to be planting grass and trees on the sand with soldiers, Mo Feng, what do you say these brothers and sisters want to do? Duanmu Xuan can't understand what Situ Yan is doing with such fanfare, after all, now Wu Jin has changed his household, and he has a moon and a thousand taels of silver, as well as a thousand taels of silver rewarded by the emperor. To say that the brother and sister are short of money, even he doesn't believe it.

"Young master, this sheep breeding medicine is just to exchange for more money, but this person who grows grass and trees on the sandy land, his subordinates don't know?" Mo Feng didn't understand either.

"Yan'er won't be short of money, let's take a look first, right? Remember to let the people under your hands report every day, and if someone makes trouble again, let them take them directly! Duanmu Xuan remembered that his subordinates had reported that there was a disturbance in the military camp led by Team Wu, and at that time he wanted to deal with people. It's just that before he could make a move, he was suppressed by Wu Jin.

"Young master, if your subordinates do it, I'm afraid that Miss Situ will know that you sent someone to keep an eye on her. When the time comes, I will have to misunderstand you again? Mo Feng felt that this was inappropriate, after all, this was Wu Jin's business, if the General's Mansion made a move, it would ruin Wu Jin's reputation and tarnish the reputation of the General's Mansion.

"Well, that's it. You tell them that as long as Miss Situ is not in danger, it has nothing to do with them if the others die, but if Miss Situ is injured, let them bring their heads to see them! Duanmu Xuan was mainly worried about Situ Yan's safety, and as for Wu Jin, he was just doing his best as a friend.

"Yes!" Mo Feng knew early on that the young master had fallen in love, but he didn't know that the young master had been lost here, as long as he encountered Miss Situ's matter, even his usual calmness was gone.

The two were busy in their respective places, and they were safe for a while, Situ Yan only remembered the matter of Leiyin Temple in the dead of night, but he just thought about it, not like Duanmu Xuan had already suffered from lovesickness at this time, and he didn't think about tea and dinner every day, and the most consumed in the general's mansion was wine.

The four brothers of the Li family were also busy at this time, and the four of them were busy turning the ground and sowing seeds in the field in the spring, because they got the letter of the little sister on Chinese New Year's Eve, the four were not as depressed as they were years ago, and occasionally laughed with the people in the village, Li Dalang had also adapted to the identity of the village at this time, and took care of the entire Fuxiang Village in an orderly manner, and even every family had food and silver, and even the Yang patriarch praised him. And ethnology is even more famous in these ten miles and eight villages, and even those from other villages will send their children over.

For this reason, the four of them discussed with the patriarch Li Aniu, and only asked them to pay 100 Wen Shu Xiu every year and a bag of black noodles, and they accepted these babies from other villages who wanted to learn calligraphy. For this reason, even Henan County Ling came to Fuxiang Village to see it, and praised the four brothers of the Li family.

The four brothers waited for the reply from the little sister at home, and the days were very comfortable, the only thing that bothered them was the matchmaker who came to the door from time to time, Da Lang and Erlang have become Ding, seeing that the life of the four people is getting better and better, and the family is in urgent need of a housewife who is in charge, where will there be less of this door-to-door media. There are even people who ask Aunt Niu and Aunt Four to talk about it.

It's just that the attitude of the four of them is clear, and the little sister is not at home, so there is no need to talk about this matter. I didn't even let people in the door, so I sent it away.

San Lang had just sent the matchmaker who came to the door away, and when he turned around, he saw Li Dalang walking out of the east chamber, "Big brother, you always have such a way of hiding, it's not a problem?" In the face of these skillful matchmakers, San Lang was also a little annoyed.

"What's going on? These people don't listen to what they say, and they can't persuade them, what can they do if they don't hide? Li Dalang is also a lawsuit, he doesn't understand, there are many men in this village who are not married, why do you have to hold him?

"That's just as well!" San Lang thought about it for a while, it's true, the eldest brother has already made it clear to the people in the village, but these people still take turns to come to the door. In fact, it's not that the people in the village didn't think of protecting others with media, but who would want local chickens with golden eggs!

"The second brother doesn't know where to hide? These days, the second brother doesn't even go to the clan study, saying that there are three 12 or 3-year-old girls from the clan study, and they don't come to study at all, but they seem to go to see each other! As soon as he mentioned this, Saburo was also worried about Jiro.

"Okay, these days, you and Xiaosi are taking spring ploughing vacation, just help Erlang keep an eye on it, and when school starts, I'll find a way!" Li Dalang can't help it, he came to another village, the daughter of the village, he can't catch it, and he can't catch it up. It can only be dragged first.

"I don't know when Xiao Wu will come back?" Li Dalang looked at the courtyard door, and the thoughts of his little sister in his heart could not be blocked by a door.

San Lang's heart has long followed the little sister, and now what remains here is just an empty shell. Looking at Da Lang, he didn't know that this eldest brother had some different thoughts about his little sister, when he didn't study before, he even thought that the four brothers could share a wife, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, the Cao family was the co-wife of Li Da Niu and Li Erniu.

But now that I have read the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, the rites of Ethics and Normality, I naturally know that this will not work, and this matter has to be done by the little sister herself, he can only work hard in secret, and cannot force it. So the eldest brother's thoughts, he can't help, and he doesn't know how to persuade him.

Erlang was sitting on his own ground at this moment, looking up at the sky and sighing, "Little Wu, when will you come back?" "If Erlang turns around at this time, he will see Shiro watching from a distance behind him, he went out to look for Erlang, just looking at Erlang's back, which makes him feel lonely and helpless. He has gradually understood his love for his little sister these days, but he knows that even San Lang may not have hope, let alone him, so he turned his love into family affection, but looking at such Erlang at this time, he is not only sad for himself in his heart.

Although Situ Yan didn't know what the four members of the Li family were thinking at this time, she knew it as early as when she was in Lijia Village, she treated these four people as her own brother, and she never had a trace of boyfriend affection, and the four of them only learned after many years, but the four brothers did not regret it, because no matter who they married, in their hearts, the position of the main wife would always be the younger sister's.
