Xiao Nuan thought about it in the yard for a long time before forming a feasible countermeasure in her mind. After the mother made two quilts, the three of them carried the quilts on their backs, and came out of the small courtyard to return to the village, Xiaocao and rhubarb running happily.

Green Butterfly, who was carrying two quilts, stared at Rhubarb for a while and asked, "Girl, what is Rhubarb wearing around her neck?" ”

Xiao Nuan twitched the corners of her mouth, "An old money bag, I don't know why it likes it so much, so I hung it up." ”

"Can a money bag be like this?" The green butterfly thought it was a broken earth bell.

"My mother made it, isn't it good-looking?" Xiao Nuan narrowed her eyes. Green Butterfly is equivalent to her "peers" here, and there are more peers around her who can talk to her as friends, and Xiao Nuan still feels quite comfortable.

"Madame's needlework is really good!" After the green butterfly finished praising it, she asked in a low voice, "Can Madame make two of these money bag bells for the green butterfly?" ”

Qin smiled kindly, "You kid, people will be laughed at when they wear this thing, I'll make you a few small purses to play with when you go back." ”

"It's not me who wears it, it's Master Wu who has two dogs, and they want to wear them." Green Butterfly told the truth that it was Wu Yu who asked her to get two rhubarb collars, she was going to ask where to buy them, but now she knows that it was made by the Qin family, so she can only ask the Qin family to help make it.

Xiao Nuan's eyes rolled, "What kind of dogs did Young Master Wu get?" ”

"It's also a Shiba Inu, about the size of a rhubarb." Green Butterfly replied truthfully.

Xiao Nuan curled the corners of her mouth, "Mother, let's make two of them, it doesn't take much effort anyway." ”

If she guessed correctly, it should be that the third master saw Rhubarb several times, so he got two dogs to go back to the nursing home to solve the case. The third master is a general, so the dog he raised is a military dog, right?

"Green Butterfly, can the Great Zhou army have military dogs?"

Green Butterfly shook her head, "There are only war horses here, and the Nanyi Department heard that there are white elephants carrying troops." ”

Xiao Nuan called out with a smile, "Rhubarb, it's amazing!" ”

Rhubarb looked back at Xiao Nuan, "Wang." ”

"What is my sister calling rhubarb?" Xiaocao asked.

"It's nothing, give it meat and bones tonight!".

"Wang, Wang!" Rhubarb wagged his tail and looked at the woods beside him.

"Rhubarb doesn't want to eat meat bones, he wants to eat rabbits." Xiaocao, the spokesperson of rhubarb, is conscientious.

Xiao Nuan smiled, "Rhubarb go, come back early." ”

Rhubarb listened, looked at the green butterfly again, and then rubbed the grass and ran happily.

Qin said with a smile, "The rabbits are fat in autumn, if the rhubarb can catch two of them, we will have a good mouth." Thinking of rabbits, naturally thinking of the last time her father came to her house to eat rabbit meat, and thinking of the mother who broke off the mother-daughter relationship with her, Qin's heart was not a taste.

Seeing that Qin was unhappy, Green Butterfly thought that she was worried that Rhubarb would not be able to catch the rabbit, so she immediately said, "Green Butterfly can also catch it." ”

Qin wanted to say no, but he thought that this kid was bored at home every day, and it was okay to go out for a run, "Go around, it's good if you can't catch a rabbit and pick some wild hawthorn." ”

"Yes!" The green butterfly responded, and there was a little excitement in her eyes.

After walking a short distance, they heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, and turned around to see Chen Zumo coming over on a tall horse.

The four of them flashed to the side of the road, and Xiaocao muttered, "Sister, Xiaocao also wants to ride a horse." ”

Xiao Nuan touched her sister's head, "You have short legs, and when you get older, my sister will buy it for you." ”

Xiaocao looked at her father's long legs and pouted.

Chen Zumo also saw the three mothers and daughters on the side of the road carrying burdens like refugees fleeing from the famine, passing through at an unabated speed, bringing up a large cloud of flying dust.

It's definitely intentional! Xiao Nuan was furious, "Green Butterfly, give this girl a spank of his ass!" ”

As soon as Xiao Nuan's voice fell, the stone in Green Butterfly's hand struck out, accurately hitting the horse's ass. Her strength was so good that the horse was slightly frightened, and rushed straight into the rice field in front of her.

The rice in the field has been harvested, only clumps of grass remain, Chen Zumo desperately pulled the reins and pulled the horse, the frightened horse jumped over several ridges and rushed to the river before stopping and neighing, Chen Zumo was thrown into the river, splashing a big splash.

Xiao Nuan curled the corners of her mouth, this falling posture is not perfect, the splash is too big, give zero points!

Chen Zumo didn't know why the horse was frightened, he fluttered a few times before he climbed ashore in embarrassment, and saw the surprised mother and daughter on the side of the road and a little girl who had never seen him all looked at him in surprise, and his heart was extremely angry. This stupid woman doesn't even know how to ignore incivility, and she teaches her two children to be equally shameless, what kind of sin she has created, so that she will have two daughters who are two different from this stupid woman!

After Chen Zumo climbed on the horse and left, Qin laughed silently, seeing Chen Zumo unlucky, she was like drinking a big bowl of tea on dog days, just two words - happy!

In the dust just now, Xiaocao didn't notice the green butterfly's movements like his mother, but saw that his father was taken by the horse to the river and thrown in, and patted his heart in fear, "Xiaocao doesn't want to ride a horse, and he will fall when riding." ”

Xiao Nuan couldn't help laughing, and when she returned to the entrance of the village, a few people found that no one was sitting on the stone to watch the excitement today. Xiao Nuan sighed, "Even the third grandmother went to the field to harvest rice." ”

"The autumn harvest is the busiest time, but isn't it that the family has to be busy, those who can go to the field go to the field, and those who can't go to the field are at home to beat rice and peel beans." Qin Shi lifted the quilt on his shoulder, and was immediately snatched by the green butterfly, easily carried it in his hand, and put on a face of "If you don't let me hold it, you will look down on me", Qin Shi smiled, and then said, "Our soybean leaves are also yellow, go and take them back the day after tomorrow." ”

After they bought the field, they cleaned it up for a few days before planting, and the ripening nature was planted later than the people in the village.

"What are we going to plant after we harvest soybeans?" Xiao Nuan asked, farming is her mother's preference, and she has now become half an expert.

Qin Shi thought for a while, "Plant some winter rape and garlic, and leave the rest empty to turn over the soil, and plant it again next spring." ”

In the autumn harvest, the crops in the field are first taken back to dry and the seeds are beaten, and then the fields are fertilized and cultivated. The autumn harvest is longer than the harvest of miscanthus at the beginning of summer – more than 20 days.

In the past 12 days, the people in Tianduo have been tired of strong men and thin old cows. But the peasants are happy, because the more tired they are, the more crops they will take back, the more grain they will threw, and the granaries will be full, so that the peasants will be able to survive the winter comfortably.

However, not all the grain that was brought back could not be returned to the family warehouse, and the rent had to be paid first, and thirty percent of the grain had to be handed over by the imperial court to enrich the country's granary.

Xiao Nuan's family has seven acres of registered fields, and although there is not much grain planted in the fields, they still have to pay rent according to the routine. If there is no grain, they will pay it according to the price of the grain.

This discount method is calculated on the basis of the most expensive grain price that can be grown on the same field in the village. It is calculated according to the price of rice in the fertile land of Xiao Nuan's family; The sloping land is calculated according to the price of mung beans - because mung beans are more expensive than soybeans this year.

Xiao Nuan took the branch and calculated on the ground, frowning a little, "According to the per capita calculation of one and a half acres of land, the people in the village are tired for a year, regardless of labor costs, and the grain produced in the field is also tightly used to live." ”

If someone in the family is sick or someone is studying, the money is not enough. Fortunately, Qinjia Village is close to the county seat, and the people in the village can go to the city to do short-term work or do small business to supplement their families when they are not working, and they don't know what to do if they are far away from the city.

"Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. Men hunt, chop wood and fish, women raise chickens and ducks, weave cloth and embroidery, as long as people are diligent and the days are not chaotic, life will always get better and better. Qin Shi smiled, and his mood was extremely comfortable.

Because, the autumn harvest is coming.
