Hearing that he was going to buy fish fry, shrimp seedlings and lotus root seeds this month, Sun Yaren was very surprised for a while, and he reminded Mingyue, "These things are very expensive, and you also know that there are few people who raise fish and shrimp in our place, and there are almost no lotus roots." If you know how to plant, it's fine, and if you don't, you're wasting your money. ”

Mingyue thanked him for his kind words, "... I saw a book on agriculture in the used bookstore in the county, and it talked about how to grow lotus roots. In the case of fish and shrimp, our long-term workers in Zhuangzi know how to raise them. ”

Sun Yaren immediately relieved when he heard this, "Then I'll let someone send a message to the next county later, I just don't know how much you plan to buy?" ”

"Eight thousand fish fry, five thousand shrimp fry, carp, grass carp, crucian carp, silver carp, silver carp, silver carp. If you have crabs, you can send us some. If you want to plant lotus roots, you can ask them to send 5,000 catties. ”

Sun Yaren was frightened, "How old is this?!" ”

Mingyue nodded, "You also know that the small village in our family on the outskirts of the county originally had a pond used to raise fish and shrimp. Before the freeze last year, our family dug four ponds in the village, so we needed a little more fish fry, shrimp fry, and lotus root seeds. ”

Sun Yaren felt as if he was starting to have a toothache - was that "a little" too much? That's a lot! In other words, as soon as someone says that they want to raise fish and shrimp and plant lotus roots, they dig four ponds and come out?

He nodded slightly, "Nacheng, then I'll let them bloom and I'll immediately send you all the fish fry, shrimp fry and lotus root seeds." ”

Mingyue was very satisfied with Sun Yaren's neatness, she took a deposit of twenty taels of silver and handed it to Sun Yaren, "In addition to fish fry, shrimp seedlings and lotus root seeds, my family also wants to buy some fruit trees to plant in Zhuangzi." ”

Sun Yaren understood, "The little Zhuangzi you bought is really not good. ”

This is also why the original owner of Zhuangzi did not talk about the fruit tree and asked the buyer for more money.

came out of Sun Yaren's house, and Mingyue was accompanied by Ming Xu to his own Zhuangzi.

There is an old lady surnamed Wang in Zhuangzi, who is good at incubating chickens and ducks with eggs, and Mingyue plans to let her help her hatch more chickens and ducks.

***

In a flash, it was early spring time to pick thorny old buds, Mingyue threw down Ming Xu, Erlang, San Lang and Yu Jiayan, and rode the little donkey back to Wulitun alone.

When she saw her, Mrs. Ming thought she was dazzled, but when she found out that Mingyue had indeed run back alone, Mrs. Ming was angry and afraid, "You kid! You said that you are a girl's family, and you are not afraid of a good person on the road! Aren't you trying to scare your? ”

Mingyue jumped off the back of a little donkey with one leg.

She had a man's haircut on her head, her face was black and she looked like she was smeared with ash from the bottom of the pot, and she was wearing a coarse cloth men's dress with two patches. The first two small steamed buns were also wrapped in strips of cloth by her to look like an airport in Pingchuan.

She took a large cloth bag from the little donkey, the things in the cloth bag were angular, and as soon as she opened it, Mrs. Ming found that it actually contained a boning knife wrapped in a coarse cloth with a sharp blade, a wooden bow that Mingyue was accustomed to, and a matching wooden arrow.

"My little aunt, you're going to heaven!" Mrs. Ming reached out and patted Mingyue's back, "You are holding these things, do you want to kill people or what?" ”

Mingyue didn't move - with the three points of strength on her, let alone hurting her, it was hard to even pat off the dust on her body.

She squinted and smiled, "I'm not here just in case!" Even though I came back to town with the dart board's convoy, I can't count on anyone else if I run into bad guys. ”

Mrs. Ming glared at her, "It's all your Grandma Zheng who is used to you!" ”

Mrs. Zheng's maiden name is Jin, and several brothers in the family are all martial artists of the bodyguards, Mingyue is loved by Mrs. Zheng, during this time she frequently travels back and forth between the county seat and Wulitun, Mrs. Zheng is worried about her, and specially greeted her mother's family and asked them to help take care of the Ming family.

But even if it was Mrs. Zheng, she never thought that Mingyue would come to such a "Thousand Miles to Ride Alone".

Mingyue smiled and didn't refute, she asked Mrs. Ming, "My grandfather, have they already entered Xishan?" ”

Mrs. Ming nodded, "I didn't know that you were coming back, but your father brought your sister-in-law over." ”

Mingyue handed the little donkey to Mrs. Zheng, "Then I'll go over now and replace my sister-in-law." ”

Although Zheng Caixia has also learned a few hands with Mrs. Zheng, she is not Mrs. Zheng's granddaughter after all, her parents and mothers want her to learn embroidery, cooking, and the field, and Mrs. Zheng is not good at ignoring the wishes of other people's biological parents and grandmothers.

Mingyue carried the basket on her back and went straight to the foot of Xishan Mountain, and from a distance, she saw that the Xie family, the Tao family, and the Zhou family were carrying the basket.

These three people are real weak women, and the old man Ming never let them follow them into the West Mountain, but they want to contribute to the family, so the old man Ming arranged for them to stay on the periphery in the name of digging wild vegetables, and when the people inside send out the thorny old sprouts, they will be responsible for carrying the basket back to their own home.

"Mother!" Mingyue rushed to Tao's side in three steps and two steps, and frightened Tao, who was engrossed in carrying heavy objects, and almost threw the basket in his hand.

"Y-Why are you here? No, aren't you taking care of your brother in the county? Why did you suddenly go home? ”

"Come back to work." Mingyue greeted Xie and Zhou, and was about to go to the forest with her feet raised.

Xie Shi grabbed Mingyue's sleeve, "Are they all okay with your eldest brother?" ”

"Okay. They have now adapted to life in the academy, and when I came back, my eldest brother asked me to help bring you a good child. ”

Xie Shi's tears almost flowed out of her eyes, and she tried to calm her mood, "It's good, it's good." ”

Mingyue knew that Xie Shi was leaving the child coldly, and she was inevitably a little uncomfortable, she patted Xie Shi's arm, "When you finish collecting the thorn old buds, you can follow my uncle to the county." It's best to bring my sister-in-law with you, too. ”

Xie's eyes were full of joy, "But, is it okay?" ”

"Of course you can, anyway, now we don't point to you to work in the field." Mingyue saw that Tao's face was about to speak, and smiled at her comfortingly, "Jiayan is fine, he was praised by Mr. two days ago." ”

Dow couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Although Yu Jiayan was not born to her, she has been raised by her side for so many years, and she has long been a motherly heart towards Yu Jiayan.

Especially Yu Jiayan is diligent and sensible, delicate, and filial piety to her and Mingcheng.

After appeasing the two "old mothers", Mingyue was finally able to enter the forest.

She looked around, then walked in the direction where the grass was most trampled on.

Sure enough, she soon found her family in the woods.
