Fortunately, everyone has never planted rice, and I don't know why, even Wu Bo thought it was a new way to increase yield. Pucao passed the test in confusion, and every night when I thought of it, I couldn't help but fold my hands and ask God for mercy, don't delay the growth of rice seedlings because of the residual salt.

It was like a blink of an eye, and the fields of each family were leveled, and the soil ridges were neatly laid. Everyone waited anxiously for half a month, and saw that there was finally no hoarfrost in the field in the morning, and the old people also nodded in agreement to start the construction, and then began to tear open the oil paper tube wrapped in the vegetable seedlings and plant it in the ground. This is not a job that requires skill, and the people of each family are also veterans of farming, so it is appropriate to demonstrate it once and give some precautions.

However, in the past two days, the vegetable seedlings have been planted in the fields, and the new green outside the village is very gratifying. Relatives and friends in various villages also used ox carts or wheelbarrows to transport the remaining vegetable seedlings, and Nangou Village was rarely quiet for a while.

Pucao chose the best noon of the sun, and began to step on the silt to plant seedlings with a few carefully selected farmers. The villagers were initially curious and gathered to see the excitement. It is said that there are merchants in the south who buy it at a very high price, and if there is a bumper harvest in autumn, the village will have another way to make money.

The people of Nangou Village planted this winter green vegetable, but they tasted the sweetness enough, so they almost offered the pu grass as their ancestors. Now I heard that she was thinking about a new way of wealth for the whole village, and she was even more grateful. Spontaneously organized people to take care of the two acres of experimental fields for the Zhang family, not to mention birds and beasts, even if there is a living person approaching, it is not allowed, and this is already the common property of the whole village.

Pucao is funny, but it doesn't stop it, many things are like this, the more you want to keep it secret, the more hidden it is, the easier it is to be discovered. If you put it out generously, people probably won't take a second look.

Chu Fei had previously strongly opposed Pu Cao's planting of rice outside the village, he was more inclined to Fang Jie's Diaoyu Villa, but unfortunately Fang Jie unconditionally supported Pu Cao's decision, and under two to one, he had to back down. Now seeing that the rice seedlings are growing higher and higher, and the villagers are maintaining them like this, it is rare for him to have three more points of admiration for the grass in his heart.

The sunshine in late spring in May is getting better and better, the mischievous spring breeze blows the earth from time to time, and the spring rain will come every five or six days in the middle of the night to quietly moisten Wanrun, and the mountains and forests and fields are full of vitality. The vegetable seedlings in the vegetable fields of Nangou Village are growing very well, and the men, women and children are so happy that they are smiling every day as if they have eaten honey.

Pu Cao carried a basket to bring lunch to Wu Bo and Chu Fei, who were almost growing in the field, and said hello to the villagers from time to time on the way. The village head of the river has not seen the figure of the group of naughty boys running crazy these days, so that people always feel that there is something missing in this spring.

It turned out that Xu was inspired by Zhang Guier and Shengzi High School Xiucai, and the elders in the village discussed with Li Zheng a month ago to invite an old Xiucai back and open a Mongolian school in the ancestral hall.

Lao Xiu is a stern gentleman, and in a few days, he put all the Tao boys in the family on the head and turned them into well-behaved and sensible ponies. Shanzi is naturally one of them, and now he no longer dares to be greedy and lazy every day, and writes by heart every night, which makes Pucao feel distressed.

However, no matter how beautiful a child's childhood is, there must always be an end. They have to learn to grow up, they have to learn to experience wind and rain, Pucao also understands this truth, they can only endure the distress, and every day they fall tricks to Shanzi to make delicious food as compensation...

Thinking all the way, Pu Cao slowly walked to the head of his rice field, Chu Fei and Wu Bo saw her arrival and hurriedly stepped forward, washed off the sludge on their hands with the help of the river, and ate and drank.

Because Chu Fei was present, Pu Cao didn't want to stay long, and after they finished eating, they gossiped a little bit and then picked up the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the village. Under the willow tree at the head of the village, there were seven or eight women who had eaten, some of whom took the soles of their shoes to "sneer" at the thread, and some of whom embroidered the children's belly pocket clothes, talking and laughing.

Chen's second sister-in-law looked up and saw Pu Cao coming from afar, so she beckoned and called her, "Our God of Wealth, it's rare to have time to come out for a walk, come here, let us all be rich!" ”

All the women laughed, and they all moved their bodies to make the smoothest stump. Pu Cao sat down and said with a smile, "You think that Grandma Fortune can live without eating, and if you want to get rich, you can get the silver first." ”

A little daughter-in-law stretched out her hand and wiped it on Pucao's face, and said with a smile, "Then what should I do, I've already touched it, but I don't have any money in my pocket." But Sister-in-law Pucao's face is so tender, it makes people want to touch it. ”

Everyone laughed again, and Chen's second sister-in-law knew that Pucao was thin-skinned, for fear that these women would make jokes and not avoid meat and vegetables, which would make her feel bored, so she hurriedly found a trivial matter to divert the conversation.

The women chattered for a few words, and then saw a green cloth carriage coming up the mountain road in the distance, and everyone thought that Fang Jie, who had entered the city, had returned, and looked at Pu Cao with frowns and smiled. As soon as the carriage approached, it was a crying magpie that jumped down.

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her and asked, "What's the matter, didn't the magpie open a shop in the city, who bullied you?" ”

Pu Cao also frowned and asked, "Which buyer went to the shop to make trouble?" ”

The magpie pulled the veil and wiped his snot and tears, and said angrily, "It's not the buyer who makes trouble, if it's the buyer, I will directly take the big broom and drive people away." It's the second young master of our family, he has gone to the shop to pay the silver four times this month, and this morning I asked me to give him twenty taels of silver, I don't have so much in my account, so I said that Mrs. Yuming will send it to him again. He scolded me for looking down on people, scolded me for disrespecting my master, and said that he would sell me to Hualou... Woo, ma'am, you're going to make the decisions for me. ”

When the ladies heard this, they all looked at each other in shock, and they really didn't believe it in their hearts. Zhang Guier is now a beautiful and talented son, how could he say such arrogant and arrogant words? It can't be that this magpie girl is lying and stirring up discord in the Zhang family, right?

Thinking like this, everyone looked at the magpie with a little unwelcome. The magpie is not stupid, and he guessed one or two in his heart and was even more aggrieved, stomped his feet and swore, "Madam, what the slave said is true, if there is half a lie, the sky will thunder, and you will never be reborn." ”

Pu Cao knows the magpie's straightforward and resolute temperament the most, and now she is desperate to follow her to do things, and she will definitely not do this thankless thing. She pulled the magpie to wipe the tears from her face and nodded comfortingly, "Don't worry, things will always fall out." Speaking of which, I've been too busy this month and haven't visited your brother, so it's better to take advantage of the convenience of the carriage and horses to go into the city today. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Chen's second sister-in-law, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please go to Lizheng's house, and help me ask Aunt Lizheng if she wants to go to see Shengzi together." If she wants to go, she will hurry to meet her, and she will be in this carriage to hurry. ”

"Hey, okay, you wait, I'll go." Chen's second sister-in-law responded crisply, put down the needlework basket and trotted away. Soon, Mrs. Li Zheng rushed over with a basket and said with a smile, "I got up early and didn't see Katsuko for many days, and I didn't want you to call me into the city together, but it was a coincidence." ”

Pu Cao didn't say much, said goodbye and took the magpie and Lizheng Niangzi to the car, leaving a group of women silent for a long time and all dispersed to return home, naturally the Zhang family's uncle and sister-in-law crisis quickly spread throughout the village.

The green cloth carriage was hired by the magpie from the side of the street, and the coachman was anxious to make a few more trips, and without delay on the way, he almost trotted into the city. Pucao Road has carefully asked about the whole story, and the lady who is sitting on the side is also frowning.

When the three of them arrived outside the gate of Fuxue, Pu Cao touched more than a dozen copper coins and asked the gatekeeper to go in and report, and soon Shengzi ran out with a happy face. Pu Cao didn't see Zhang Guier's shadow, and he was sure that this kid didn't dare to see each other, so he couldn't help sighing.

For Zhang Gui, she has always taken the attitude of herding sheep and grazing. If he really has the ability to take the career of scientific examination, she will try her best to support him, and she does not expect to be exposed to him, and she should completely fulfill the foolish and filial heart of the real Pucao. If his career is not smooth and he is willing to live honestly, she will share his family property, marry a daughter-in-law for him, and also have the fate of eating in a pot.

Sometimes, she also feels that she is a little eccentric, and she cherishes Peach Blossom and Shanzi as if she is the same heart, but she treats Zhang Gui so lightly. However, she is not a saint after all, and she always has a preference and dislike. Who can smile at a face with nostrils facing the sky every day, that is not tolerance, that is called cheapness.

Mrs. Lizheng also knew that Pucao had something to inquire about, so she simply said a few words to her son and followed their master and servant into a teahouse next to her. The magpie directly asked for a private room, and when everyone sat down, Pucao didn't go around the corner, and directly pulled the somewhat weak-hearted Shengzi and asked, "Shengzi, my noble brother is not in the school, why are you the only one who comes out to meet?" ”

Katsuko lowered her head and thought for a long time, very embarrassed. He had the intention to cover up for Zhang Gui, and felt that sooner or later this matter would be exposed. But if you don't make some efforts, I'm afraid that Zhang Gui will complain in the future, so I didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Mrs. Lizheng saw that her son was only half out like this, and stepped forward to pat her son's shoulder and comforted, "Son, don't be afraid." You can say whatever your sister-in-law asks. You also know that it is not easy for your family to earn money for you to study, if your brother's behavior is really deviated, your sister-in-law Pucao should persuade a few words as soon as possible. ”

Katsuko heard her mother say this, and finally stopped hesitating to make things clear.

It turned out that Zhang Gui and Shengzi were selected for talent at a young age, and they were considered leaders even in the school full of talents. Their husband is very proud of them, and if he gets together with friends on weekdays, he will praise them.

In this way, those senior brothers who are bent on studying hard to seek fame or family wealth are just laughing and laughing, only a few students from average family backgrounds, but they like to have fun on weekdays, and they have not passed the examination for talent after the age of eighteen.
