No wonder a few people were so excited, after all, this was something they had never seen before, and it was also the first time that crops had appeared in this land. What's more, they were just fruits a few days ago, but now they have broken through the soil and transformed into a plant.

I have to say, nature is so magical.

If you want to change to an ordinary person, you won't stop at all after seeing it, because you don't know it at all, and it's really nothing unusual. These peanut seedlings are no different from ordinary bean seedlings.

Because of understanding, so fanatical.

Looking at the peanut seedlings that broke out of the soil in the four bamboo baskets, Ye Feng was also excited for a while, tears welled up in his eyes. The peanut leaves that have grown are tender and green and fat, and they look very energetic in the sun.

Others have just stretched out their second leaf, taking on the shape of a droplet. That's pretty stupid. If it weren't for the fear of breaking it and breaking it, Ye Feng really wanted to touch it.

Chen Jixing, like Ye Feng, had been worried about whether these planted red beans could germinate as scheduled. Because only by germinating can we grow, grow and harvest. Now that he sees that they have really grown, he has been planting for half his life, and he is naturally excited in his heart.

However, what Chen Jixing doesn't know is that peanuts are actually a very good crop, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a "lazy crop".

In addition to adding some fertilizer during the critical period of growth, it is neither as tall as corn and needs to be cultivated regularly to avoid being blown down by the wind; It doesn't need to grow all over the ground like sweet potatoes, and you need to clean the vines or pinch the tips regularly.

It is so obscure, even the flowering is quiet and unassuming. In the end, even the fruit is stuck in the mud, and you can't find it until you pull it out.

Next, if nothing else, just watch it carefully, and add a little more plant ash when the time comes.

After that, Ye Feng calmed down, what should he do every day.

It's just that the Ye family, especially Qianyan, can't calm down anymore.

The first thing I do when I get up every day is to see how the flowers are growing, and whether they have grown up; At night, before going to bed, I always go to see them, as if to say goodnight to them.

As soon as Ye Feng was free, Qianyan either asked when the peanuts could be harvested, or whether he needed watering, whether he was afraid of the sun, and whether he needed to fertilize......

This made Ye Feng a little crying and laughing, where is this peanut, this is obviously raising children.

Unable to withstand the grinding, Ye Feng had no choice but to say conservatively: "According to the climate here, this small piece of long-lived fruit will mature around the end of September and the beginning of October or even later. ”

Chen Jixing was more realistic, and immediately made some fences, surrounded the four bamboo baskets, and protected them, for fear that the chickens and ducks would fly in and spoil them.

In the past few days, Chen Jixing listened to Ye Feng's advice, braved the scorching sun, and Ye Shi carried out a second soil cultivation on the corn that had flowered. Since the potatoes and sweet potatoes have grown, especially the sweet potato vines have begun to spread, the two of them are careful when cultivating the soil.

Before cultivating the soil, the two also picked some of the family's farm manure and poured it on the corn roots.

That is to say, compared with other fields in the village, now, Chen Jixing's corn field has not only been fertilized twice, but also cultivated soil, which makes other families very puzzled and disdainful at the same time.

It's okay to top dress, the soil is just a little bit, can it withstand the wind and rain?

After all, I've planted corn all my life, and I've never seen it like this, it's just too much of a toss-up. And now the corn stalk has grown very tall, and it is about to bloom the top flower, and it is too troublesome to get in and out, and it will not be good if it is knocked down.

But Chen Jixing believed Ye Feng very much. At this moment, topdressing will make the corn cob bigger and longer, the grains will be fuller, and the soil will also help the corn to carry the wind.

It doesn't matter if the top dressing is over, especially the cultivation of soil, which can be regarded as completely impressing Chen Jixing, and he strictly follows what Ye Feng said. Because every year when corn blooms, it is a time of strong wind and heavy rain.

As soon as this storm passes, many people's corn will fall down.

At this time, it is the flowering and pollination season, and if the fallen corn is lifted up in time, it is okay, and if it is late or completely broken, it is considered waste.

Even if they can be held up, the cobs of these corns are not full, and even only half of them.

In the face of other people's cynicism, Chen Jixing also disagreed. Anyway, it only took him and Ye a few days to do so.

Of course, it's really tiring. The midday sun is exposed, and the corn leaves are a little prickly, so it's no wonder that people are reluctant to do this.

However, how can you not be tired of doing farm work?

However, the Zhao family still firmly believes that what Chen Jixing's family does, she will take Qianliang to learn to do, top dressing, and soil cultivation, and nothing has been left behind.

During this time, because of the scorching sun, Ye Feng had nowhere to go, so he took scissors to prune the elaborate rhododendrons and red fruit trees in the backyard.

After careful care during this time, the rhododendron tree is growing well. Although this rhododendron tree is short, it is distinguished by its stump shape, with a straight trunk, thick roots and black roots.

To say something boastful, Ye Feng admired his vision very much.

Perhaps with good care, the tree grows very fast and is very resistant to pruning. From the unkempt pile when it was just dug up, it has now begun to take shape, and from a distance, it looks like a peacock's tail, slowly dragging down from the top, and it is a bit like a woman's long skirt.

It's just that this leaf waterfall is not long enough, after all, the time is still short.

Rao is like this, Ye also feels that he can't put it down, in addition to looking at peanuts every day, he comes to see it. When this tree was dug up, it looked no different from a tree growing in the wild, but I didn't expect it to become so beautiful after Ye Feng's skillful hands.

However, this is far from the bonsai he imagined.

In the fall, when the leaves have fallen, he will go to the rhododendron forest to find another batch of trees that fit the shape. First, the leaves have fallen out and it is more suitable for observation, and second, the weather is cooler and the farming is over, which is also suitable for transplanting.

He also planned to take advantage of that time to take the rope and marry some of the trees he wanted, but they were really not in good shape, and let them grow in the forest without transplanting them back.

As for the red fruit tree, it also managed to survive. It's just that because it's too small, Ye Feng can't prune it well, so he simply pinched the top to prevent it from continuing to grow taller.

This kind of red fruit tree, short and strong, can be used as a bonsai.

If you grow too tall, you won't have any characteristics. After all, its main selling point is its inky branches and bright red fruit.

After pruning, Ye Feng took the scissors and left, washed and dried with water. Because the branches and leaves are pruned, the scissors will have residual liquid on the branches and leaves, and if they are not cleaned in time, they will rust.

Life goes by like this, unhurriedly. The family is looking forward to the arrival of October, when they can harvest not only corn cobs, but also sweet potatoes and potatoes. What's more, by that time, the longevity fruit was also ripe.

However, before the arrival of October, a rare guest came to the house, which also brought an extremely tricky thing to the family.

On this day, because Ye Feng couldn't find the rope, he used the remaining bamboo strips from Chen Jixing's bamboo weaving to tie the cuckoo again.

He needed a shape that was as smooth as a tail, but the current shape was not smooth enough, and there was no gradual and noticeable change from top to bottom, lacking beauty.

When you're done with this, come out and wash your hands.

As a result, Ye Feng, who came from the backyard, did not see Qianyan and Ye, but saw a girl walking into the yard gracefully.

Ye Feng only glanced at it, and then stopped looking directly.

He doesn't understand the rules of this time and space, but he watched a lot of TV in his previous life, and he also knows the so-called "don't look at indecent things". It's just that at the moment, I wondered in my heart who this girl who looked a little familiar.

He was sure he had seen it, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Ye Feng decided to call Ye Shi out.

Obviously, this girl must have come to find the Ye family, definitely not to herself. Not to mention that I don't know a few people now, just because I look thin and poor, no big girl will be interested.

was about to call someone, but the girl walked towards Ye Feng as if she didn't shy away from it, getting closer and closer. Looking at each other again, Ye Feng suddenly remembered, isn't this the girl who went to the old house a few months ago to congratulate Mrs. Liu on her birthday, and Chen Jixing's sister-in-law was called Chen Wumei by the villagers?

Because she saw Ye Shi and Qianyan kneeling at that time, she also reached out and pointed out Ye Feng. Therefore, Ye Feng still has a good impression of her.

In this family, she is probably the only one who is willing to extend a hand of friendship to Ye and Qianyan. As for the Zhu family, although he doesn't hate it, he won't take the initiative to help.

And what Ye needs in many cases is not the icing on the cake, but the charcoal in the snow.

Ye Feng reacted at this time, no wonder people don't shy away from suspicion, in addition to being young, after all, they are also a family, and I heard that they are married to each other.

The girl who has decided to marry goes to her sister-in-law's house, of course, it is not a violation of etiquette.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng generously invited her into the courtyard, and shouted into the house: "Sister, the fifth sister is here." ”

As soon as Ye Feng's words fell, he only heard a "clang" sound in the room, as if something had fallen to the ground. Immediately, there was a flurry of footsteps.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

It seems that the number of times this Fifth Sister Chen has come to this house should be very small, or she should have never been there, otherwise the Ye family would not be so surprised.

Fortunately, the Ye family came out immediately with a thousand words.

Embarrassing is embarrassing, in the end, it is a family, and last time people helped, Ye quickly calmed down.

It was her sister-in-law who came, not Mrs. Liu.

welcomed Chen Wumei into the hall and sat down, and Ye talked to her without a match. It's just that I don't know what the Ye family thinks, even Ye Feng, who was standing on the side, felt that there was a deliberate closeness in her words.

It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's a little out of sight.

Seeing the two chatting, Ye Feng and Qianyan went into the stove room with a bowl and poured a bowl of water out. There were no snacks, no coffee, no tea, and only a bowl of boiled water.

Putting down the water, Ye Feng thought about it and did not leave, but also sat down in another corner of the room, quietly listening to the two of them.

First, it would be rude to leave directly, and secondly, I was afraid that if something happened, the Ye family would be embarrassed. If there is something going on, it would be easier to have one more person.

At the beginning, the content of the chat between the two can be described as "nonsense and irrelevant". Ye Feng had a headache when he heard it, where is this chatting, it is simply a polite head.

In other words, it is not appropriate to describe it with the word "polite", because the conversation between the two is simply a typical lack of words, deliberately looking for a topic, which is too alienating.

For example, Ye will ask Chen Wumei with concern: "Is Fifth Sister okay lately?" ”

Chen Wumei said a little shyly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." What about you? ”

Ye naturally said that he was very good.

Then there was silence, awkward silence.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere and thinking about her intentions, Chen Wumei took the initiative to ask Ye again: "What has my third brother been doing recently?" ”

Then Ye replied simply: "You also know that your third brother has no hobbies, anyway, he is either farming or weaving bamboo baskets or something." ”

Then, and then silence again.

Ye Feng, who was sitting next to him, really couldn't stand it.

He can see that this Fifth Sister Chen must have something else to do today. I knew with my toes that she hadn't come here to catch up.

And reminiscence refers to two people who have a good relationship who have not seen each other for a long time, and tell each other something that happened during the parting period. The two of them are good, they are talking nonsense, and they don't know what to say. If this can be regarded as recalling, then Ye Feng really needs to redefine chat.

"Since you're not here to catch up on the past, is it possible that you're here to find fault?" Ye Feng said in his heart. After all, living with people like the Huang family and the Zhu family every day, unless it is really a lotus, it is really a miracle to live in such a big dye vat without learning badly.

As a result, Ye Feng's eyes when he looked at Chen Wumei were a little unkind, and he was no longer as enthusiastic as when he first came. This family has just stopped for a few days, and it can't stand the deliberate provocation of the people in the old house.

It's just that after a while, seeing that the Ye family was still unhurried, but Chen Wumei was a little anxious, Ye Feng reacted at this time, in fact, the Ye family must have been clear in his heart, so he deliberately didn't accept the offer, and chatted with him without a match.

Anyway, whoever speaks first will be in a passive state.

Maybe it was in the face of Ye Feng's "direct and unkind" gaze, or maybe it was that incident that made her toss and turn recently, and she couldn't sleep at night, Chen Wumei suddenly understood that instead of letting Ye and Ye Feng misunderstand herself, it was better to say it directly, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope.

Anyway, I came here today to ask for help.

After thinking about it, Chen Wumei said with some embarrassment: "Third sister-in-law, it's all mine." Actually, I came today to ask you. I beg the third sister-in-law to help me for the sake of my young age and not being sorry for you. ”

After speaking, tears flowed down his face, and he kept wiping his tears with his hands.

Seeing this, Ye Shi was relieved, and immediately changed his face, much more affectionate than before.

Ye Feng guessed well, Ye had already seen that the previous Chen Wumei was too polite, so she had to be polite.

immediately took Chen Wumei's hand and comforted: "If there is anything, you can say it first." If I can help, I won't shirk it. In the end, you and I are sisters-in-law, although we are separated, and my ability is limited, I can't say that I can't go to the soup, but I must go all out. ”

Ye's words were sincere, Chen Wumei was moved, she knew that Ye was a person, and she knew in her heart who was really good to her for so many years.

At that moment, he told his troubles one by one.

After listening, Ye Feng realized that she was really here for help.

It turned out that although the eleven-year-old Chen Wumei was still young, under the guidance of Mrs. Liu, she watched the Huang family and the Zhu family play Tai Chi since she was a child, and coupled with the previous changes in the family, she was more precocious than ordinary children, which was a very good idea.

Because he has been engaged since he was a child, and he is getting older, he is becoming more and more curious about everything about his fiancé. After all, if nothing else, he will definitely marry him.

But because the other party is a rich man from the neighboring village of Wujia Village, he is wealthy, and the whole family, including the Zhu and Huang families, who have always been above the top, are very satisfied, so they don't care much.

A few days ago, Chen Liuzhi, the second daughter of the Luo family in the east of the village, hurriedly came to the old house to chat with Chen Wumei before dinner. When Chen Wumei saw her panicked, she knew that something was wrong.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to her at this time.

On weekdays, because the two are of the same age, but they are only half a year old, and the two families are close, and the two have a good temperament, so they are very close.

Seeing that Chen Liuzhi was spitting and spitting, and wanted to say goodbye, Chen Wumei had no choice but to say: "Good sister, you just have to say, it's not a day and a half for the two of us to get better." Whatever it is, I won't blame you, and I won't get it out. ”

Hearing this, Chen Liuzhi told the news he heard from his cousin.

It turned out that Chen Liuzhi's cousin was now working in the kitchen of the Wu family, which was Chen Wumei's fiancé's house. Seeing that her cousin's life is not heavy, but the moon silver is extremely high, she is a little envious, so Luo and Chen Liuzhi both want to go through this relationship, hoping that her cousin can recommend it, and when the Wu family needs a maid, they will give priority to recommending Chen Liuzhi.

Her cousin looked embarrassed, but decisively refused the request. At first, Roche was a little unhappy, and only Willow Branch's cousin didn't want to help. Who knows that Willow Branch's cousin has found an opportunity and vaguely explains the reason.

After knowing the real reason why his cousin was reluctant to help, Chen Liuzhi and Luo Che completely broke off this thought. Silver is indeed attractive, but it is more important to be able to live well.

It turned out that according to her cousin, the young master of the Wu family was actually a person who liked to abuse people. Chen Liuzhi said that there is a clear eye, it is said that Young Master Wu's previous personal rings were either crippled or disabled, and there was no good one anyway.

After Liu Zhi heard about it, he remembered that this was Chen Wumei's fiancé, so he hurriedly came to tell Chen Wumei.

After hearing this, Chen Wumei broke out in a cold sweat, and she had a few nightmares that night and had a high fever. When he saw that the doctor's fever had subsided, he found an opportunity to tell Mrs. Liu what he heard.

Of course, she only said that she heard about it, and she did not betray Chen Liuzhi.

Old Mrs. Liu was a little unconvinced, after all, she had seen the young master of the Wu family once from afar. How to say it, he looks harmless to humans and animals, and he definitely doesn't look like the rumored master who likes to abuse people.

If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but Chen Wumei is her only daughter, and Mrs. Liu doesn't want to risk harming her daughter, so she was a little embarrassed for a while, so she asked the two daughters-in-law of Huang and Zhu to discuss.

Unexpectedly, the result of the discussion was that none of the three people believed this rumor, and they only said that the young master of Wu's rich family had entered a private school since he was a child, and he was full of poetry and books, and he must be a person with excellent cultivation, respect for the old and love for the young, how could he beat someone.

The Zhu family and the Huang family also helped on the side, saying that this must be planted by someone with a heart, and they wanted to discredit each other, so they waited for Chen Wumei to propose to withdraw from the family and then take the opportunity to marry in.

After going back and forth, Mrs. Liu was also completely biased towards believing in her future son-in-law, and asked Chen Wumei not to think nonsense, and this matter would be over.

But Chen Wumei always felt that things were not so simple, because Chen Liuzhi had no reason to lie to herself, and what she said was clear-sighted, and she believed half of it in her heart. However, the Huang family and the Zhu family would never help, but instead persuaded Mrs. Liu with more fuel and vinegar.

I couldn't solve it, so I came to Ye's for help.

After listening, Ye Feng was quite sympathetic to Chen Wumei, or sympathetic to the women of this era.

Blind marriage and dumb marriage are just that, after all, it is not only free love that can be happy. There are also people who get married first and then fall in love in modern times, and there are still people who live happily.

However, according to Chen Wumei's account, it is obvious that this young master of the Wu family is most likely problematic. Chen Liuzhi's cousin worked in the kitchen of the Wu family, and what she came into contact with must have been first-hand information.

If she made up such a story in order to refuse Chen Liuzhi to go to the Wu family to do things, it would be even more impossible. You must know that in many dynasties, the subordinates who slandered the lord's family and spread rumors made trouble had a very tragic ending.

Cousin Willow had no need and could not do this.

The only possibility is that there must be something wrong with this young master of the Wu family. The difference is only how far he abuses his subordinates.

But even if you do? It's just as hard to do. Why? Ye Feng analyzed from two aspects.

On the one hand, Ye promised Chen Wumei to help her investigate the matter. The problem is that, first of all, the other party is a young master from a rich family, and the door of the Wu family is definitely not so easy to enter.

Even if it's in, how can I check it? People won't be stupid enough to say that they are not, or abuse others in front of you.

Secondly, what if it is really found out that this young master of the Wu family has a habit of beating and abusing his subordinates, but he is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage? You must know that the Chen family is not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the Wu family at all, and everything is at a disadvantage.

And since the marriage is fixed, Mrs. Liu must have been given a certain amount of money. Just like the old house, plus the daily food and clothing over the years, maybe it has been spent.

At that time, if the other party agrees to withdraw from the marriage, what will be used to withdraw it?

If the first two problems are technical problems, then there is a third problem, and that is the complex status quo of the Chen family.

After the divorce, although the Chen family knew that Chen Wumei was not at fault, what would ordinary villagers think? What will people from all over the country think? Anyway, it is impossible for the Chen family to explain from door to door.

In this way, but in the end, it is in the way of reputation.

The habitual thinking of this era will not feel that there is anything wrong with men. After withdrawing from her family, it must be Chen Wumei who is wrong, and she is afraid that her future marriage will be more bumpy.

The most terrifying thing is that if Mrs. Liu, Huang and Zhu knew about Ye's role in this matter, they would know with their toes that the three of them would definitely attack Ye like mad dogs.

And this consequence is also something that Ye can't afford at all.

On the other hand, if the Ye family ruthlessly rejected Chen Wumei, depending on the development of the matter, it depends on her own creation, and she can indeed stay out of the matter.

If the young master of the Wu family is a good one, and it is true that he was only framed, then Fifth Sister Chen will naturally be able to live a good life from now on.

But what if that rumor is true?

Marriage events and lifelong happiness naturally cannot be gambled.

But most of the Ye family is ruthless.

In the end, it is a family of flesh and blood, even if there is no blood relationship, but the Ye family is naturally kind, and she has been doing good deeds since the loss of a thousand words. When encountering this kind of thing, Ye is afraid that he will not stand idly by.

However, what should Ye Feng do himself?

Whether to pull Ye Mingzhe to protect himself and endure refusal, or to stand up and help the other party, this is really a difficult problem.

At this moment, Ye Feng really hoped that this Fifth Sister Chen had not come.
