This season is the harvest season, the melons and fruits planted in the yard of the family are carefully taken care of by Grandma Li, this trip up simply picked all over, packed in a big bamboo basket, Daddy Li carried a few bags of rice overnight, spent a full price of silver to make rice, and personally went to Caijia Village to report the good news.

The next day two old men. With a large bag and a small bag, he got up early in the morning and urged his second grandson to drive the donkey cart up.

Fortunately, the spring return to open the shop was already early, Li Zhigao put the two old people down, and went to the outskirts of the town to carry milk, Daddy Li knocked on the door and felt that it seemed to be earlier, but the door had already been patted and had to continue to shoot a few times.

Geng Rong quickly opened the door, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly shouted with a smile: "Grandpa and grandma are here!" But let's see Sister-in-law Cai! She hadn't gotten up yet, and Sister Chun told her to sleep more. ”

Daddy Li couldn't stop laughing: "Should you sleep more, should you sleep more, I came too early with your grandmother." ”

Geng Rong helped people in one by one, and after a casual look, he saw the first few bags of things behind. He hurriedly helped carry it again, and it took two or three trips back and forth to finish moving the things.

Chungui came out of the room, and was also startled by the rice, noodles, chickens, ducks, melons and fruits that occupied a good piece of land.

She greeted her with a smile: "I said yesterday that it was either today or tomorrow, and Grandpa Li and Grandma will definitely come over!" ”

"With this good thing, I can't come up! Girl, when Ah Zhen wakes up, take your grandma over to have a look! I'll put this rice noodle in the table and cook a table of delicious food for you later! ”

Daddy Li grabbed a chicken with rice noodles in one hand and rushed to the kitchen, walked a few steps and turned back and said: "Boss, it's time to wake up, this daughter-in-law is the most important thing in the first three months, and the small work at hand has to be stopped after the work is done, and she can accompany her for three months!" ”

The people in the courtyard couldn't laugh or cry when they said this, and even Liu Jiawang and his wife, who had just arrived, listened to it with envy.

"Our Grandpa Li is really, the happiest time in the past few years!"

Liu Jiawang: "Not really! I'm afraid I'm going to have candy in a few days! ”

Cai never thought that she would have the blessing she has today, when she woke up in the morning, Grandma Li sat at the head of the bed and looked at her kindly, a bowl of warm chicken noodle soup had been placed next to the bed, and a full layer of oil and water had been floated, and a full layer of chicken was spread, and the noodles under the head looked tendonous.

She quickly got up, was helped by Grandma Li to lie down again, and said with a smile: "You lie down for a while, and the chicken noodle soup will be cooler and eaten." ”

Cai's face flushed: "Grandma, don't get used to me, I've been pregnant with Xiaobao, I'm not so squeamish." ”

"If you are pregnant with a child, you can lie down, and grandma will be happy to serve you." Grandma Li tucked the quilt for her: "Although it is summer, the quilt still can't be kicked randomly, the first three months are the most important, the boss has been sleeping poorly since he was a child, I guess I want to sleep in separate rooms!" ”

"Your grandfather is waiting at the door, I went to report the good news to your mother overnight yesterday, or in a few days, your mother should come up and take a look!"

When Cai heard this, he hurriedly got up: "Grandpa is outside?" Then I can afford it, how can I tell him to wait! ”

"Ouch, no hurry, no hurry!" Grandma Li hurriedly folded the pillow for her to lean: "Your grandfather is happy to wait!" ”

"I haven't closed my mouth since I heard the news yesterday, and I say to people that I have to go to the dim sum shop to buy some sugar later!"

Cai's is both happy and uneasy, such a pain is afraid that her grandfather and grandmother can't do it, but she can still have this situation after giving birth to Xiaobao.

At Grandma Li's request, she still finished the bowl of fragrant noodle soup first.

Cai's mother came over in a hurry in the afternoon, and the things brought by Rao is mother were limited, and the corners of her eyes were already moist when she saw her daughter being so loved. She wiped her eyes, held Chungui's hand and thanked her non-stop. How could she know that this girl treats her children well, without her, it would be difficult for her daughter to have such a good life.

Chungui took her hand and said happily: "Auntie is going to be a grandmother again, don't forget our children, these two are waiting to eat the red-skinned eggs made by Auntie!" ”

Several children listened to it and cooperated with the begging, and each one was more clever than the other.

Aunt Cai saw that there was no unloved in her heart, and she couldn't hurt it, so she hurriedly took the child over: "Yes!" Both! The eldest lady also gave a thick red envelope to our Zhiyuan Xiaobao as pocket money! ”

The two families stayed for a whole day, and before leaving, Father Li grabbed Li Zhicun's ear and warned him not to enter the house if he didn't take care of his daughter-in-law. Aunt Cai knows the way of husband and wife, one protects her daughter, she has to protect her son-in-law as a mother-in-law, she should be a good son-in-law, and her own daughter is blessed! The two families have come and gone, and they look like a harmonious family.

After this day, Cai's entered the daily routine of raising a fetus, and the first sweet potato season in Xiaoliangshan officially began.

In mid-September, on the first day of the scientific expedition, every household in Xiaoliangshan got up early and waved shovels at the door of their homes or in the fields.

The day before the spring return, a large number of people were hired, and the next day Cai was left at home, and a few children went back with Geng Rong Liuren, Liu Ren attached great importance to the first trip back after coming out, and took the monthly money to buy a new set of cotton clothes and clothes, which were worn out in the morning without a trace of wrinkles.

Geng Rong smiled and said that he was returning to his hometown, but he was silent, only smiling. How can it be compared with returning home, there is no more stable day than now.

The carriage was set in advance, and some salutes were prepared as usual, and the family got into the carriage before the sun was still high. He was followed by several donkey carts, all of them strong and capable, and followed them properly.

Today, no more than before, I heard the sound of talking and laughing in the village from a distance between the mountain roads. Several children scrambled to open the curtain and look, the mountains or the door of the house were full of people, and the whole family was out in unison, one person with a shovel was digging in, and on the side was a large pile of sweet potatoes, each the size of two fists.

When I looked up and saw a team of cars coming slowly, I didn't need anyone to say that I knew that it must be spring! Several families near the entrance of the village hurriedly greeted them, and trotted to the front of the carriage, and Geng Rong and Liu Ren, who were driving the car, hurriedly stopped the car and greeted people happily.

"Uncle! Auntie! We have enough people with us! These three or five donkey carts can fit in! ”

"Ouch! Fit it down! If you can't fit our donkey cart, let's go up together! ”

Chungui came out with a few small ones, and said with a smile: "That's decided, and then I'll be tired of my uncle's donkey cart!" ”

When the old man heard it, it was as if he had a great good thing: "It's decided, it's decided!" See, the car is in the yard! Just waiting for you to speak! ”

The group walked over, and after returning to the spring, a group of elderly people in the village were also sitting in the courtyard, commanding a few juniors. Families were smiling, children were holding sweet potatoes in their hands, and adults were smiling and counting. Others listened to what they had been taught before returning to spring, leaving some small sweet potatoes along with the vines and preparing them to be seeds for the next season.

Not to mention, this land can indeed grow a lot, as long as it can grow well, and it is not a shame to hold the silver.

Seeing the return of spring, even a few elders got up this time. Li Zheng, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was still full of spirits, looking at her with a pipe and smiling, and the village chief also looked at it one by one with a cane, just like that, he saw the head of the village, and several old people looked at the village with satisfaction, and then looked at the spring return in front of them, and already had a stomach full of indescribable gratitude.

Chun Gui called over one by one, and then led the children, Geng Rong recognized people together. After a major drought last year, many of them were not very healthy, but now they are out of the house together, which shows how much they value today's matter.

Spring return has come early enough, but the village is getting up earlier today, she came over, every household has already dug almost enough, and there are many elders here, spring return is not willing to delay more, turned around and asked Ah Rong to get in the car and get a box over.

Last time, the box was full of contracts, all of which were the hopes of the village, and now they are filled with ...... Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and there is excitement on their faces that can't be hidden.

Today, this box is naturally filled with silver, one tael or two taels or two or three taels, and when it is opened, a box full of large and small ones is crowded together, and a group of villagers are happy and wipe their eyes.

Chun Gui hurriedly said: "After digging the sweet potatoes, the uncles and aunts will come here to check the list with Ah Ren, if it is correct, they will go to Ah Rong to get the silver!" ”

Looking at Chun Gui's hand, the well-dressed Liu Ren was holding a piece of paper and a pen, sitting down in front of the wooden table and chair at the entrance of the village, and gently nodding to everyone.

Seeing that Liu Ren now seemed to have a different appearance than before, a group of people were surprised and envious, thinking of what Chun Gui said, and hurriedly went over and lined up.

The first one was a young man, who came over for his father: "Ah Rong, my house is one acre, you see!" Except for the seeds for the next season, all of them are put away and put on the ground! It's almost a hill! ”

Geng Rong looked at it from a distance, nodded, and made a stroke on the list, and Ah Rong next to him immediately gave one or two.

When the young man got it in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran to his father's side, and the family touched me if you touched it, and finally his wife carefully put it into the cloth bag.

The queue at the back was even more exciting.

Those who were far away at the end of the village were invited to go there to see it, and then put the silver after checking that it was correct.

After a woman got the silver, she wiped away the tears that fell with her cuffs, and smiled: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, since the drought last year, our family hasn't earned enough silver or two!" "But now their family has planted three whole sweet potato fields, which is a real three taels!

Tell her how she doesn't want to cry properly.

Geng Rong, who was handing out the silver, looked at the simple villagers who got the silver, some cried, some laughed, and after thanking the spring return, it seemed that he had great hopes for the days to come, and the whole village no longer had any trace of the death of the drought that he had heard Ah Ren say before. He saw it in his eyes, and he also had a trace of remorse for what he said that day.

Those small resentments and small hatreds seem to be no longer worth mentioning in such a situation.

It was already noon after putting the silver one by one, and every household immediately turned their heads and hid in the house like a baby, and hurriedly ran out to load sweet potatoes with the invited workers, and there seemed to be endless energy on their bodies, and with the help of the whole village, they soon filled five carts.

When Daddy Li saw that it was far from enough, he had already asked Zhigao to drive the family's donkey cart over, and the uncle who said before that he wanted to borrow the donkey cart was even more enthusiastic to send the cart, saying that he would help Chungui send a cart full of sweet potatoes!

Chun Gui didn't bother with good intentions, and smiled and responded.

After noon, the people of a village did not feel sleepy under the scorching sun, and insisted on staying for a few meals in the spring.

Chungui looked at everyone with a smile: "Aunts, there is no need to eat, Sister Cai at home can wait for me, she has a body now, our family can't leave a few small days, and said that I want to watch my little brothers and sisters grow up!" ”

Today I just came to see the excitement, and I was in a hurry to go back after seeing it.

Speaking of Cai's, there is no one among the women who is not envious: "Even if this is the case, it is not easy for us to stay." ”

Chungui smiled: "When you have dinner in the future, you aunts should keep the rice noodles at home, and the amount of food for a few little cubs in our family is very large!" ”

"That's it! The aunts kept it! The first thing I did when I took today's money was to fill the rice jar at home! Then go to the sweet water village next door to cut two plum blossom meat and hang the beams of the house! ”

"Ouch, don't talk about it, I haven't eaten meat in months! Today, the big guy will go to Sweetwater Village and buy half a pig's leg from the butcher to satisfy his hunger! ”

As soon as you talk about it, I will say it, but I will go to Sweetwater Village to buy meat!

Chungui looked at everyone's jubilant appearance, smiled and nodded with a few good elders, and was about to go back.

These truckloads of sweet potatoes should also be stored well, and Guo Ruyi will make plans when he comes down from Kyoto.

In this way, the people of the village sincerely only sent the carriage to the other end of the mountain road, and did not turn back until they were out of sight, and hurried home to take half a penny of money, and went to Sweetwater Village with their companions.

It is conceivable that the old butcher's house in Tianshui Village today is more lively than the Chinese New Year.

And the woman, who was reluctant to eat even the rest of the money, talked together, talked for a while, and then stopped by to look at a closed house on the other side of the village, and could not help but sigh:

"They are all pregnant with children, Li Lan can't compare to Ah Zhen's good fortune! She's got a hard time ahead! ”
