Chapter 58: Wealth is moving
Seeing that there were two small cloth bags in the corner of the top layer of the back basket, Mingyue looked curious, and she asked He Shigui, "Uncle He, these two bags are also seeds, right?" ”
He Shigui nodded, "These two bags are passion fruit (tomato) seeds and pepper (pepper) seeds, both of which must be soaked and raised first, and then planted separately. And sweet potatoes also have to be raised first... The artichoke can be cut directly into pieces and planted, but this cut is the same as cutting a sweet potato, you have to look at the sprout hole before cutting..."
He Shigui said in detail, and the Ming family, who was already an old cropper, quickly mastered the planting method he taught.
paid the balance according to the amount reported by He Shigui, and the old man Ming enthusiastically left him for dinner.
Mingyue's whole person was almost floating with joy - these were her favorite peppers and tomatoes, as well as sweet potatoes and potatoes with extremely high yields and countless lives!
She left He Shigui to the old man Ming and others to entertain, and she took a few children to start soaking and raising seedlings.
Mrs. Ming arranged for her daughters-in-law to wash vegetables and cook, but she was not at ease to supervise Mingyue and them to soak the seeds.
Mingyue just wanted to apply for fields and vegetable fields with Mrs. Ming, and when she saw Mrs. Ming, she immediately pestered Mrs. Ming to make a request.
Mrs. Ming was amused and helpless, "You kid, you have bought all the seeds, can I and your father still let you throw them all into the ditch?" Don't worry, when your Uncle He leaves, your father will take your father and them to the new yard to open a vegetable plot for you. ”
Mingyue didn't want to plant peppers and tomatoes in the newly opened vegetable patch, so she said that Mrs. Ming finally agreed to give her one-third of the vegetable plot in the backyard.
When He Shigui left Ming's house with enough wine and food, Mingyue went to ask the old man Ming to apply for two acres of land to plant sweet potatoes and artichokes.
"One acre and dozens of stones, twenty times better than the valley", Mingyue thought of the yield of sweet potatoes she had read about in the book, and the whole person was like a bulging sail, full of energy.
The only thing she regrets is that there are too few seeds, otherwise she would have wanted to use all the fields in her family to grow sweet potatoes and artichokes.
The family was busy with spring ploughing, and Tao, who was more than nine months pregnant, gave birth to twins in the expectation and nervousness of the Ming family.
Two small but very healthy boys were held out by Wen Po to show everyone, the always calm and serious old man Ming actually had rare red eyes, Ming Cheng who was guarding outside the delivery room and Tao who was lying in the delivery room were crying and laughing, so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Mrs. Ming wiped her tears and persuaded Tao not to cry badly, "... Both kids are counting on you and the second child. ”
For the first time, Tao showed her "motherly and strong" side, and under the persuasion of Mrs. Ming, she quickly collected her tears and cheered up.
While asking Xie to prepare food for Tao, Mrs. Ming did not forget to rush Mingdi, Mingtang, Mingxu and others to report the good news to their relatives.
The second elder of the Tao family came the fastest, and the daughter was finally able to stand up straight at her in-law's house, and they couldn't close their eyes for half a night.
Accompanied by their son and daughter-in-law, the old couple pulled a small half of the car to the Ming family, what muslin, millet, white flour, brown sugar, eggs, old hens, pig's trotters, fresh river fish, as long as the Tao can use and they can afford it, the old couple have all prepared a thick share to bring to the Ming family.
Mingyue's two aunts were a little painful, after all, the Tao family's life was not rich enough to give half a cart of things to their married daughters, but none of them objected.
First, the Tao family has been looking forward to their son for more than ten years, and the old Tao family has been anxious for her for more than ten years.
The second is because their Tao family has also been stained with a lot of light from the Ming family, and they have made a lot of money from the thorny old sprouts and out-of-season greens.
In a blink of an eye, on the day when the two little babies washed the third day, Feng and Zhao, who were not invited, also came to Ming's house.
These two people are obviously here to make trouble, but the Feng family is bad and not as arrogant as the Zhao family.
Let Mingyue say that Feng's kind is even more difficult to deal with.
After all, the Zhao family came arrogantly, but in the end, she was sent away with a sentence of "It's about your" - who let Yu Jiayan have already broken off his family.
But Feng is different, no matter how annoying she is, nominally she is also Yu Jiayan's eldest aunt, she brought two dates over, saying that she came to see the two children wash the three, and the Ming family responded to her again, and she had to be entertained as a relative and friend.
"Auntie, it's not that I can't trust your family, but the second child of your family has a son, so my family is a good word..."
Yu Jiayan frowned and looked angry, "Uncle! ”
Feng Shi smiled lovingly, "Jiayan, you are still young, you don't understand the twists and turns here, but don't worry, the eldest aunt will never let you suffer." ”
Mrs. Ming directly slapped her face, and the Zhou family even blatantly scolded Feng's family, "Don't let Jiayan suffer?" I don't know how to keep Jiayan from suffering a loss, sister-in-law Yu? Take him back to your house, and then let my old Ming family compensate him something? ”
Feng Shi really planned to do so, she wanted to pull Jia Yan's hand, but Jia Yan threw her away very hard and directly, "I will handle my affairs myself, and I don't need to worry about the eldest aunt here." Anyway, when I was going to die, my aunt didn't worry about me at all. ”
"It's just that I didn't worry about it! At the beginning, the old Ming family paid for Jiayan's treatment, aren't you afraid that Jiayan will eat your family's food when he enters your door? If you hadn't blocked the door and refused to let in, why would the eldest brother of the Ming family bring Jiayan back to his home! Aunt Li has long been unaccustomed to Feng's style, and as soon as Yu Jiayan's words fell, the old lady immediately agreed.
Feng Shi was ashamed and annoyed, she secretly scolded in her heart, "It's your business to be immortal", but she still tried to maintain her previous face of "kindness", "Isn't there anything I can't do?" At that time, my family was poor and almost used as pants, where was there any surplus food to raise an extra half-sized child? Now that my family is having a better time, I just want to take Jiayan back! ”
Zhou sneered, "How is your family's life?" Why is your family better than you count? Why, after a few days of eating at my old Ming's house, I began to think about how to pry the corner of my old Ming's house? ”
Feng Shi cheekily defended himself, "I didn't want to pry into the corner of your family, I just wanted to bring back the children of our Lao Yu family to raise, is this also hindering your Lao Ming family?" ”
"Didn't you get in the way of your own mind? Don't think that if you pretend to be confused, we can't do anything about you! Xie Shi was also annoyed, she pointed at Feng's nose angrily, and her fingers were almost on Feng's face, "Don't you just want to get Jiayan back, and then force him to ask him what my family earns money?" ”
