"Ah, oh, that's right." Tian Mi pursed her lips and honestly retracted her hand.

She looked at the hoe, which was taller than her, and her heart was a little nervous. As soon as she said it, she put the hoe down slightly awkwardly, put her hands sideways, and dug into the ground without saying hello.

"Qiuqiu, put it down, be careful of hurting you." Tan didn't expect her to do it herself, and when she saw her small body such a heavy hoe, she was suddenly anxious.

"Alright." As soon as Qiao Xuan stretched out his hand, he firmly grasped the wooden stick, easily stopped her from this 'self-inflicted' posture, and said funny: "Do you know that if you go down, the hoe in front can dig your feet, and the stick in the back can hit your head. ”

When Tian Mi heard this, she looked at the thick and long wooden stick, and then at the heavy and thick iron at the other end of the stick, and finally obediently stopped, put down the 'murder weapon', and only wept silently in her heart, isn't it okay for her to be so short? !

"Come, be obedient, give it to me." Qiao Xuan stretched out his hand to Tian Mi, and at the same time chuckled and said to Tan: "Madame is too worried, this is just a gesture, it doesn't matter if it is not a sven." ”

Qiao Xuan himself didn't object, Tan didn't want to say anything, so he nodded, stayed quietly on the side, watching them toss around.

Seeing that her mother did not object, Tian Mi was happy, and immediately hit the hoe horizontally and presented it with both hands.

Qiao Xuan took the hoe, weighed it in his hand, and carefully recalled how the farmers he saw in Yangliu Village dug the ground, so he did the same and rolled up his cuffs. Rub your hands together. Bow down and swing your hoe. When the force is harvested, a large piece of dirt is brought up.

"Not bad, not bad, remarkable." Tian Mi looked at the hoe that had sunk into the dirt and praised it with a smile.

With the beginning, the back is simple, and when Qiao Xuan dug a pit and crushed the soil, Tian Mi squatted down with great interest. picked up the green vines, inserted them carefully, and then took the water handed by Tan, poured it slowly, and then Qiao Xuan gently pushed the hoe to fill in the soil accumulated next to it.

Planting green vines under the entire courtyard wall, Tian Mi pointed to a vacant lot and gestured: "I want to plant a banyan tree next to the courtyard wall, and when it grows up, you can put a reclining chair under the tree." It's a cool summer day. ”

She pointed to a place under the eaves again and said, "Hmm." In the summer, the flowers are as white as jade, and their color is better than snow, and the branches are full of fragrance. Also, there...... There...... I also want to plant a small sapling behind the window of the river......"

Qiao Xuan held the hoe, pulled up his sleeves, smiled on his lips, and his eyes moved with the fingertips, sketching in his mind what the future would look like. Indeed, it is beautiful, warm and fulfilling.

"Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan." Tian Mi waved her hand in front of his eyes and said, "Come back to your senses, what do you think?" ”

Qiao Xuan smiled lightly, picked up the hoe with one hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other.

He waved his hand to Tian Mi and said, "Let's go, let's go next, let's continue planting." ”

Tian Mi hurriedly packed up her things, took them away, and saw that her mother had gone to fetch water, so she caught up with Qiao Xuan a few steps, leaned on him with her arm, and when he looked over, she smiled and squinted, and praised: "Qiao Xuan, do you know that you are very handsome now!" ”

"Is there one?" Qiao Xuan couldn't help but look down at himself.

The clean vamps were stained with mud, the hems of the clothes were dirty, the sleeves were rolled up in an irregular manner, the hoe on the shoulders was stuck in the waist, and the sweat was profuse.

He frowned slightly, what kind of vision does this girl have?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Tian Mi said eloquently: "There really is, there is a taste of life." ”

What does life taste like? Well, she has a point. Qiao Xuan shook his head, continued to work hard and continued to do coolies, and did not ask.

When they planted the small tree behind Tagawa's window, Tagawa, who had been reading books in the room, finally couldn't bear the loneliness. He directly climbed out of the window, squeezed Tian Mi away, took the hoe in Qiao Xuan's hand, and dug up the ground by himself.

It's a pity that he overlooked his own strength, thinking that Qiao Xuan wielded so easily, this job would not be tiring. After he dug a small pit with all his strength, the high spirits of both of them had retired, and they only leaned over and planted slowly.

"Hey!" Tian Chuan was resting with a hoe on the side, and when he saw the planting process of the two of them, he couldn't help jumping up and exclaimed, "You all planted like this just now? What about manure? Why is there no feces? How can it grow strong like that?! ”

"Feces?" The two looked at each other blankly, what was that?

Tian Chuan was speechless for a while, and waved his hand resignedly, "Forget it, you go back to the hall first and wait for your mother to make dinner, I'll get the feces." ”

"Oh." The two responded in unison, didn't say anything, and walked back silently, as if they didn't hear the muttering behind them: "Really, what a person, I can't even plant flowers and plants, and I want to clean up the aftermath." ”

I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything, one of them looked up at the geese returning to the sky, and the other looked down at the grass on the ground.

As soon as the two walked into the courtyard, they heard Tan call in the kitchen: "I've boiled hot water, you go to the bath first, and then have dinner later." ”

The two nodded in unison, washed each other, and when they finished taking a bath and walked out refreshingly, they saw Tian Chuan pulling a late girl's face and coming in with a stinking smell.

The two stood three feet away from him and smiled kindly at him.

Although Tian Chuan is very speechless about two people who have no common sense, one of them is his sister, and the other is his mentor on the road of life, and he can't really have any whispers, and he feels that he still has a sense of accomplishment, which is true.

After Tian Chuan came out of the bath, a few people began to eat dinner, looking at the square position sitting full, the feeling in their hearts was right, and the meal was very fragrant.

Xu didn't return because Qiao Xuan went out, and after eating, several people did not return to the room quickly, but sat in the hall, busy with their own things by the same lamp.

Tian Chuan is Wen Shu, Qiao Xuan occasionally points out one or two on the side, and Tian Mi pulls the bench to Tan's side, tilting her head to watch Tan's flying needle line.

She stared at the splendid flower clusters born under Tan's hands with wide eyes, and couldn't help but admire: "Mother, you are so amazing, just now it was still a crooked mess, and it turned into a peony with petals layered in a few clicks, it looks like the real one from a distance, vivid, this is also amazing." ”

Tan looked at his daughter's adoring gaze, smiled and said with disgust: "You, you, you don't learn a good female celebrity, now you know that it's amazing, it's too late." ”

Tian Mi squinted and smiled, although the embroidery is exquisite, she just appreciates and appreciates it, forget it, she is not that material at all.

Qiao Xuan also glanced over here, and said with a light smile: "I see that Mrs. has done a lot of embroidery work recently, but it is all backlogged at home, but there is nowhere to sell?" ”

"yes." Tan Shi paused, his eyebrows were stained with a touch of sorrow, and he said worriedly: "Weaving Treasure Hall can't go anymore, and there are fixed sources of goods in other places." ”

When Tian Mi heard this, she pulled her mother's pair of soft wattles, and smiled indifferently: "It's nothing, mother, when I get paid at the end of the month, we won't have to worry about eating and drinking." Even if you don't work, our family won't go hungry, don't worry. ”

Her relaxed tone did not reassure Tan, who smiled reluctantly and did not nod in approval.

Seeing this, Tian Mi was helpless, and subconsciously looked at the initiator who provoked this conversation.

Qiao Xuan gave her a reassuring look, smiled lightly, and continued: "In the past few days, I have been around the county. I saw that there was a sign called Xiangxiu Pavilion on the wide street, and a notice was posted in front of the door, which seemed to be recruiting embroidery girls. If Madame is interested, she may wish to give it a try. ”

"But that two-story tall Incense Embroidery Pavilion with a full eight shops?" Tan hesitated: "Can someone have such a big shop?" ”

"Madame's rust skills are superb, not to mention a mere fragrant embroidery pavilion, it is the Lin family's world-famous splendid villa, you go, you will be able to be treated as a guest." Qiao Xuankua is never subtle, and he always looks like he is telling the truth, which is quite convincing. "Why should Madame hesitate? Give it a try and you'll see. ”

Hearing this, Tan nodded. She is still quite confident in her craft, and if she can do it, she will know if she can do it.

Seeing that the family of three had no objections, Qiao Xuan paused for a moment and said, "Also, there is something I want to ask Mrs. to decide." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? As soon as he saw Qiao Xuan so solemn, Tan straightened up and looked at it seriously.

"The snake baby in Yangliu Village, I don't know if Mrs. still remembers?" Seeing Tan's nod, Qiao Xuan smiled slightly and continued: "Yuan Hua has started to do business, so I want Xiaochuan to help him for a while, accompany him to talk about business, help him read the contract, or deal with the government...... What do you think? ”

"This, is this good? Xiao Chuan ......" Tan bit his lip, endured it for a moment, thought that it was about his own child, and plucked up the courage to object: "Xiao Chuan is probably not suitable for business, right?" Didn't Mr. Mo think the child was stupid? Can't read the sage of the sage? ”

"Definitely." Without hesitation, Qiao Xuan shook his head with a smile.

Tan's heart fell, and he wondered again: "That's?" ”

"On the contrary, Ogawa is smart." Qiao Xuan saw that the Tan family was even more puzzled, so he chuckled lightly and said, "Xiao Chuan is a man after all, how can he be raised in the boudoir like a woman?" In books, what he can learn and what I can teach, I have been given. If he only wants to take the imperial examination, with Xiaochuan's intelligence and hard work, in three years, he will be in the top three in high school. ”

Qiao Xuan's tone was light, as if the imperial examination that no math students in the world were rushing to, and he was as relaxed and casual as following the test, and at the end, he frowned slightly regretfully, and said softly: "It's just a pity that Xiaochuan has poor roots and bones, and is not suitable for martial arts, and the champion of civil and military affairs can't be found." ”

"Puff...... Tian Mi couldn't hold back, she was shocked and let out a mouthful of saliva, she hurriedly waved her hand, coughed twice, and said to Qiao: "It's okay, it's okay, you keep going." (To be continued......)
