Chapter 105: Youth

Time flies in a blink of an eye, July is a fire, August is not young, September is clothed, and October is harvested. October is approaching in the blink of an eye, and the golden rice in the fields south of Tianjia Village has already been cut by the industrious villagers, and the grain has been taken back to their homes early. Only the neat stubble in the paddy fields remained, except for the sandy land to the northeast.

Speaking of this year, Tianjia Village can be described as a bumper harvest, there is a double crop of rice on the summer solstice, and in addition to the beauty of the heavens, the people in the village are dedicated to serving, and it is difficult to think of a bumper harvest. Didn't you see that in the past two days, there are always people who go to Tianjia to borrow ox carts to sell grain in the town, for paying taxes and doubling the grain, most people in Tianjia Village choose to sell to the grain merchants in Niangniang Town, after all, their family is not like the Tian family, there are more people and less food. The original grain was enough for the family to eat, and now there is an extra harvest, so don't you think about how to make money?

Because of this, the people of Tianjia Village are now very grateful to the Tian family, and almost as soon as the Tian family goes out, they can hear the words of thanks floating from all directions. Even the people in the village are very protective of the Tian family, that is, you can't hear a little bad word about the Tian family, otherwise you will wait to be drowned by the spittle of the villagers.

And as soon as there is something in the Tian family, the people of Tianjia Village are very enthusiastic to come forward to help, just like when the rice is harvested in the first season, because it is a rush to harvest and grab seeds, because Tian Duotian and the four people are not busy at all. After the people in the village have finished harvesting their crops, they will spontaneously help the Tian family to harvest rice and plant seedlings or something, and now it is October, and the grain of the Tian family has been harvested with the help of the enthusiastic Tianjia villagers and the efforts of the Tian brothers.

The sweet potato seedlings planted by the Tian family in May survived in good spirits after a heavy rain a few days later. Up to now, ten acres of sweet potato seedlings have grown into a lush and long sweet potato vine. Just waiting for the Tian family to finish the autumn harvest. Sweet potatoes are starting to grow.

And the summer solstice can't wait early. At the beginning of October, I took my own shovel to dig a few shovels in the sweet potato field, brought a basket of sweet potatoes back, and asked Li to fry and steam for her. Not only is the summer solstice comfortable to eat, but even the Tian family is also happy, each index finger is moving, and the work is very energetic, and they can't wait to finish the farm work at home immediately. Then dig the sweet potatoes home and eat them however you want.

However, the summer solstice knows that eating too many sweet potatoes is not a good thing. So she just digs it up for the Tian family from time to time to taste, but for the Tian family's obsession with sweet potatoes, Xia Zhi didn't expect it, and now she is afraid that the Tian family will be too persistent in sweet potatoes, and they whisper in their ears every day, 'Too much, you can't eat too much, otherwise you will be easy to get sick'. However, although everyone nodded yes to Xia Zhi's statement, they could turn their heads and do what they should do. Xia Zhi had no choice but to pay more attention to himself.

"Summer solstice, when are you digging your sweet potato? I said before that I would wait until after the autumn harvest. But now that our grain has been taken back to the warehouse, and even the taxes have been paid, why haven't you moved at all? Will it be bad if you don't accept it again? Tian Laosi is thinking about the sweet potatoes on the ten acres of sandy land on the summer solstice all day these days.

Since a few days ago, Xia Solstice went to dig up sweet potatoes and asked Li to make them for everyone to taste, Tian Laosi wanted to taste the taste of sweet potatoes. When I was young, because the situation at home was getting worse and worse, I was hungry and devoured sweet potatoes, and I didn't feel the real taste, but I felt a sweet feeling in my mouth afterwards. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he tasted sweet potatoes again, Tian Laosi felt that he should really chew it slowly and taste its taste, and he would not stare at the summer solstice all day long like now and let her quickly dig up the sweet potatoes home.

"Hey~, Daddy, you think I don't want to dig the sweet potatoes home, I wanted to dig them as early as after your autumn harvest, but Doctor Xu asked Cousin Tian to talk before, and when he said that when digging sweet potatoes, Ma County Order will come to inspect it, let us have to wait, don't dig all the sweet potatoes in advance, I thought about waiting for two or three days without anything, but I didn't expect to wait until now, and I didn't see the shadow of Ma County's order, Daddy, you said that he can't talk doesn't count!" Xia Zhi also has a deep resentment, you said that as a county order, you should keep your promise, but now she hasn't even seen the shadow of the county order, whether this sweet potato is dug or not, you have to give an explanation, you can't let them wait here all the time.

"Ah, so that's the case, then why didn't you say it earlier, I and your uncle thought that the sweet potatoes hadn't come to dig home yet, and it turned out that the county order was going to dig sweet potatoes for a long time, and I said that you said you wanted to dig sweet potatoes before, but you haven't mentioned it for a few days!" It turned out that Ma County Commander wanted to come over to see digging sweet potatoes, Tian Laosi was deeply resentful, "He is a county order, he shouldn't be discredited, is it delayed by something!" ”

"Who knows, I haven't heard any news from this until now!" Who said that a county order can't be dishonest, not to mention the county magistrate in modern times, that is, the mayor and governor have to be untrustworthy when they should be dishonest. However, Xia Zhi also understood that Tian Laosi had a kind of awe for the officials, although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they only said it euphemistically.

"Sister, I also want to eat sweet potatoes, A-Niang and Eighth Sister also want to eat sweet potatoes, can we dig some more and let Grandma make them for us?" Tian Bailu, who is now three years old, speaks very smoothly. Because of the change in the quality of life of the Tian family, Xiao Bailu was raised white and chubby, with neat bangs and innocent eyes, looking very cute and cute.

Xiao Bailu is now learning to play with Tian Liqiu, you must know that when Tian Liqiu was three years old, he was a good player. However, although Xiaobai is very cute and cute, she doesn't have Tian Liqiu's talent for playing Luozi, not that she is stupid, but her learning speed is obviously not as good as Tian Liqiu. Xia Zhi felt that it was normal for Xiao Bailu to do this, and Xiao Liqiu was purely demonic.

The thing that gave Xia Solstice a headache, Xiao Bailu has been thinking about it since she ate the sweet potatoes dug up before the summer solstice, and Tian Laosi has been thinking about it, and from time to time she has to ask Xia Solstice if she can dig some more and come back to eat, the first few times Xia Solstice refused hard, but now in the face of Xiao Bailu's cute eyes, Xia Solstice was instantly conquered, and immediately disarmed and surrendered:

"Okay, Sixth Sister will go dig some sweet potatoes for us Bailu and come back, Xiao Bailu is waiting at home to eat sweet potatoes!" Xia Zhi stretched out his hand and pinched Tian Bailu's smiling face, while packing up his things and preparing to go to the field to dig sweet potatoes.

"Hehe...... girl, I'll help you!" Tian Laosi scratched his head and said behind Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi only turned his head to look at him twice, and then acquiesced to Tian Laosi's following, but Tian Laosi, who looked at him with that look, instantly felt that he was going to be unlucky. Xia Zhi looked at Tian Laosi's eyes flickering, and didn't need to mutter, don't think that I don't know that you asked Xiaobai to ask her for sweet potatoes in the open air, and now this is a punishment for you, making you greedy!

Not to mention how they dig sweet potatoes and eat sweet potatoes on the summer solstice, but said that Ma Shang really had something to delay, he told Xu Ming before the Tian family had to dig sweet potatoes for half a month, so that the Tian family must wait for him to dig sweet potatoes, because he was busy with the autumn harvest and tax collection, and he was finally free, thinking that he could go to Tian's house. But on the morning of his departure, he received a letter from the border and had to postpone it.

After a few more days, Xia Zhi felt that Ma Shang might not come, and when she was about to start digging sweet potatoes the next day, she didn't expect that after lunch, she saw Xu Ming and Ma Shang's carriage, galloping towards Tianjia Village, and four people riding horses followed far behind the car. Xia Zhi thought to himself that Ma Shang had always kept a low profile when he arrived in Tianjia Village, for fear that the people in the village would know their identities and kneel down when they saw him like Lao Luotou.

But now this style doesn't look like it's low-key, it's obviously very high-profile, but when the carriage approached, Xia Zhi found that the four people behind him were not the officials of the county government, but four strangers, Xia Solstice looked at the four people from head to toe, and the four people who looked straight at it were embarrassed, so they turned their heads to look at the two carriages, and it was strange that Xu Ming and Ma Shang were all making a carriage when they went to Tian's house, and they could talk on the road to make a car, so they wouldn't be lonely. But how can there be one person and one car today, and there are four people behind them, this is not like their style.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Zhi had already thought about it a lot, but no matter what she thought, she had no answer, so she had to find two answers.

"Grandpa Ma, you're finally here, if you don't come, the daylily will be cold! Anyway, what's wrong with you and your godfather today, it's awkward? I also sit in separate cars. Didn't I say that you and your godfather are both old people, why are you still awkward like a child, you will definitely laugh to death if you say it! Xia Zhi felt that he was thinking about it here over and over again, but there was no answer, the bell solver was in front of him, it was better to ask two people at that time, and it would be a lot of brains. However, while pursuing the truth of the matter, Xia Zhi did not forget to tease Ma Shang and Xu Ming.

"Ahem...... I said summer solstice girl, didn't I just come a few days late, as for you talking about me like this, didn't I come!" The little guy lifted the carriage curtain, revealing a face of Ma Shang, Ma Shang was a little embarrassed about the transfer of the summer solstice, if Xia Solstice usually said this, he wouldn't say much, but now the situation is a little different, he naturally wants to refute.

Is that a few days, that's ten days, okay!

"Come on, I also know that your old noble man is busy, maybe you will forget about us little minions at some point! I said godfather, what's wrong with you today, you have learned to be reserved, Grandpa Ma has gotten off, why don't you come down yet, you won't wait for me to lift the curtain for you, yes, just treat it as a granddaughter to honor grandpa, and I will also lift the curtain back for you!"

Say it slowly, do it quickly, Xia Zhi climbed into the carriage two or three times, lifted the curtain, and wanted to see Xu Ming's smiling face, but he didn't expect that the smiling face was seen but not Xu Ming's, and it was a young man, and Xu Ming, who was sitting next to him, looked at her helplessly. Ma Shang, who was standing next to Xia Zhi, was worried that Xia Zhi would collide with the people in the carriage, but he didn't expect Xia Zhi to move so fast, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only let Xia Zhi lift the curtain and see the people inside. (To be continued......)
