After returning home, Qin still felt panicked, and only after sweeping the yard and pulling out the grass in the vegetable garden did he feel at ease.

After Xiao Nuan woke up, she saw the clean and reflective yard, and she was surprised for a while, "Isn't my mother sleepy?" ”

Qin smiled, "I can't sleep." ”

Xiao Nuan nodded, sat on a small stool and looked at the soybean seedlings that had been dried for a while, and then got up and put the soybean seedlings away and put them in the firewood room. Xiao Nuan discussed with her mother, who was still pulling weeds in the vegetable field, "Let's go to the woods to collect some dry firewood, shall we?" There is not much firewood at home. ”

Qin Shi hurriedly stood up, "Yes, yes!" Why did my mother forget about this, it should change in a few days, and I have to collect firewood. ”

So, the family of four went out, and Rhubarb and Xiaocao habitually walked south, but the Qin family called, "Let's go to the woods in the east of the village to collect firewood and go this way." ”

Xiao Nuan was a little surprised, Chen's family is in the east of the village, if you enter the mountain, you have to pass through the door of Chen's house, this is the road that my mother is most reluctant to take, what's wrong today?

"Okay." It didn't matter where Xiaocao went, he ran at the front with the rhubarb, and the family went through the street to the east of the village to chop wood.

When passing by Chen's house, he saw that the gate was open, and Pi was directing Ma Dejin and Qingliu in the courtyard to pack up their things, which was about to move to a new house.

When Pi Shi saw Xiao Nuan's mother and son, he put on a kind old man's appearance, and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?" ”

Qin lowered his head and didn't speak, and Xiao Nuan replied, "Chop wood." When are we moving? ”

"Tomorrow." Pi Shi was beaming, "The new house has five main rooms, spacious and warm, much stronger than the old yard." ”

Xiao Nuan also nodded happily, "Then tomorrow Xiaocao and I will come over to help." ”

Pi Shi hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, there are enough people, what can you children help, it's not enough to get in the way, what can you do!" ”

"That's it, but grandma remembers to leave a room for the two of us, spacious and warm." After Xiao Nuan finished speaking, he walked away. Pi Shi forced a breath and scolded Aoyagi, "Look at what, don't clean up quickly!" ”

The Qin family whispered, "When your grandmother also moves to the south of the village, it will not only be close to the tea house and clan studies, but also close to your grandfather's house." ”

The land on which the Chen family built the house originally belonged to the Qin family, and there was only one family between them and the Qin family after they passed, and a few words shouted in the courtyard could be passed on.

Xiao Nuan smiled, "Not only the two of them, but also Grandpa Lizheng also lives in the south of the village, which will be more convenient in the future." ”

Qin Shi understood what Xiao Nuan meant, and couldn't help but smile, "Li Zheng is elected every three years, and Uncle De was only selected last year, so he has to work for another two years." ”

That's unfortunate! Xiao Nuan then asked, "Next is the Han family, right?" ”

"Hmm." Qin nodded. The old rule is that the three families of Li Zheng take turns to do it, and the Han family should be the Chen family after that. If Fourth Master Chen can live to that time, it will be his turn.

Chen Siye became the patriarch, and the life of their mother and daughter was afraid that it would be difficult. However, this will have to be a few years later, and after taking care of the present first, the Qin family cheered up and led the family into the woods.

The leaves in the woods have fallen a thick layer, and it really looks like late autumn. In addition to them, several other families are also collecting firewood and collecting leaves. Xiao Nuan also found the dart master of the No. 9 dart game in the crowd, and felt at ease.

"Mother, what are they doing sweeping leaves?" Xiao Nuan asked.

"Go back and make manure, and tomorrow spring you will make it in the field." Qin Shi was also a little moved after speaking, "Why don't we get some too?" ”

"Okay!" Xiao Nuan nodded, there are so many leaves, it doesn't take much effort to get some, "Mother and Xiaocao pick up branches, and I carry the leaves home." ”

The basket couldn't hold many leaves, Xiao Nuan took a trip home and fell into the pigsty and looked at a small piece of inconspicuous mountains and water, so he simply went to Han Sanfat's house and borrowed a wheelbarrow to push it to the edge of the woods, wrapped the leaves in a torn linen cloth and put them on the car.

At this time, she missed the green butterfly very much, and if she was there, I was afraid that it would fill the whole pigsty in a while.

At this moment, a white-clothed scholar came out of the forest carrying a small bag, which was very out of tune with the vast autumn colors. Rhubarb was very upset when he saw him, and whined back to his family to protect him.

The two dart masters who were collecting firewood not far away also straightened their waists and slowly leaned over this side.

When the Qin family saw this scholar, they were so panicked that the firewood in their hands fell.

The scholar bent down to pick up the firewood, handed it back to the Qin family, and said gently, "Madam, what a coincidence. ”

The Qin clan doesn't want to speak, but there is no place to put his eyes.

Xiao Nuan looked at the scholar, and then looked at her mother's panicked appearance, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to greet her, "This ......"

"Xiaosheng Xu Changrong, a native of the Xu family in Jingnan." The scholar introduced himself.

"It turned out to be Xu Gongzi," Xiao Nuan smiled, "I saw that you came out of the woods to enjoy the scenery?" ”

Xu Changrong raised the small cloth bag in his hand, "Go pick some wolfberries." ”

Xiaocao, who had picked up a lot of beautiful leaves, ran over and looked, "Xiaocao knows that this is a red earring, not a wolfberry!" ”

People here call wild wolfberries red earrings, if it weren't for this scholar to mention, Xiao Nuan really didn't notice that there was this thing in the woods.

Xu Changrong smiled and explained to Xiaocao, "The wolfberry is similar to a woman's ruby earrings, so it has this nickname. This thing is also called blood wolfberry, good for the shrewd eyes, nourishing the liver and kidneys, Xiaosheng plans to pick some back to honor his parents. ”

Xiao Nuan smiled, "Xu Gongzi has a heart." ”

Xu Changrong smiled more and more kindly, "This is the duty of a child, and the girl can also pick some back to dry and eat, which is not without benefit." ”

His words seemed to be said to Xiao Nuan, but his eyes fell on the Qin clan intentionally or unintentionally, and the Qin clan lowered his head and did not move.

Xiao Nuan's smile deepened, "Good idea, we'll pick some firewood after we finish picking up." ”

After Xu Changrong left, Xiao Nuan looked at her uncomfortable mother, and asked in a low voice, "My mother has seen him before?" ”

"I saw him once when I went to the field to pull vegetables, and he looked at people with strange eyes." Qin Shi whispered, "Xiao Nuan, I don't think he's a good person. ”

Xiao Nuan nodded slightly, I met twice in a while, it was too much of a coincidence, is this interesting to my mother, or is there something else?

Xiao Nuan rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Mother, look over there, we have the protection of the dart master, how dare he be a thin scholar?" No matter what he wants to do, don't pay attention to it, just take care of ourselves. ”

Qin Shi looked at it, and he was indeed a lot more relieved, and continued to pack up dry firewood.

After collecting a cart of leaves and dry firewood, Qin pushed it, Xiao Nuan supported it, and Xiaocao followed and carried it back. After three trips back and forth, there was enough firewood to burn for a month, and the leaves filled half of the pigsty, and the three of them gave up.

Xiaocao clapped her hands and said happily, "Let's go pick up the red earrings, shall we?" ”

Qin and Xiao Nuan did not object, and the three of them returned to the woods and quickly found a place where rows of bright red small fruits hung on a dwarf bush, and began to pick the fruits.

The feeling of harvest is very good, after the three of them collected it for a while, Rhubarb whined a few more times, Xiao Nuan turned around and saw the white-clothed scholar Xu Changrong, sure enough, it came again!
