Su Heting didn't come over often, and Yu Jingze left after the fifteenth day of the first month. Zhu Ji's daily affairs are in charge of Qin's shopkeeper, and R&D is handled by Yuan Ning. She also had to distract herself from taking care of her younger sister and checking on the homework of her three younger siblings......

Fortunately, the three children are very competitive and do their homework well.

Ji Xiu's birthday is on February 26, and now he can simply jump out of the words, he can call "sister" and "brother", and can say "eat" and "sleepy".

Moreover, he is very well-behaved and rarely cries.

The hired maid, Aunt Zhang, often boasted to others that she had never seen such a good little doll.

When they moved in, the strawberries they had planted were also carefully moved, and the new home was warmer, and the strawberry flowers fell, and a total of five strawberries were born.

The little ones looked very fresh, and they thought it was similar to a wild fruit, but the fruit tasted spicy and spicy, and it was not delicious at all. As time passed, the strawberries gradually turned red and ripe, Yuan Ning picked them and gave them to each of their younger brothers and sisters to eat, and they all said that the sweet and sour taste was good.

The remaining one was originally intended to be given to Su Heting, but he didn't come over after waiting for two days, but the strawberry couldn't be put down, and Yuan Ning ate it himself.

After entering February, the thick cotton clothes were a little unbearable, Yuan Ning changed his jacket, wore a whole cut azure clothes, dressed up as a boy, and went back to the village.

I went to the orchard first, the snow melted, the ground under my feet was very soft, and the orchard looked blue from a distance, but when I got closer, I couldn't see it clearly, but if I looked closely, I could find the bud spots on the note.

The spring breeze blows for a few more days, and the fruit trees are about to sprout.

After a turn, she returned to her old home, which had not been inhabited for a while, there was dust everywhere, and the house seemed to be about to fail.

The time was just about to be noon, and as soon as Aunt Zhao saw her, she warmly beckoned her to sit at home.

Yuan Ning carried a basket on his arm, which contained peanut sticky, sesame crackers, fried peanuts, melon seeds and other snacks.

When I entered Aunt Zhao's house, I grabbed it and gave it to the children of their family.

Aunt Zhao hurriedly stopped.

Yuan Ning didn't listen, divided a part, put down the basket, and sat at the stove to help light the fire, "I'm going to stay at noon to eat." ”

Aunt Zhao asked her about her current situation while stir-frying, and her words were full of concern.

Yuan Ning's heart was warm and said, "Everything is fine." Aunt Liu, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, "Many people in the village said that Yuan Ning was going to be a concubine for others, and she didn't refute the rumors in public, because she felt that she had nothing to say to those people, but Aunt Zhao was different, "I'm working for others." ”

"What do you do?" Aunt Zhao was not at ease.

"You don't think I'm a kid right now?" Yuan Ning pointed to the clothes on his body, "I can do whatever the kid can do." Even if I am inconvenient when I am older in a few years, I can still go to work, and the owner is a cloth shop, and I am now learning to weave.

"Bo Zhong and Zhong Ling are also old in two years, they can all help, except for Ji Xiu, none of us eat white rice."

Aunt Zhao Liu touched Yuan Ning's face, "It's a little bit more meat than when I was at home." "His clothes were neat.

Uncle Zhao came back during the meal, and now the land has just been civilized, and it is time to plough the ground.

Someone in the county also sent seeds, but what he didn't expect was, "Big girl, it's the same as what you planted, it's ramie." ”

Yuan Ning smiled, "Sixth uncle, I sold the two acres of land in our family, and what I kept in my hand was the dozen acres of fruit forest." I'm here to discuss something with you. ”

Sixth Uncle Zhao was sitting in a precarious position, and he was not busy eating, "What's the matter, you say, Uncle Sixth will definitely help if he can." ”

"Now that we are doing things in the city, it is inconvenient for us to come back," Yuan Ning said sincerely, "so I plan to ask the sixth uncle to help take care of this fruit forest."

"It's relatively simple to serve the fruit trees, just water them after a while. I've buried a lot of leaves in the tree pit, and the rotten ones are fertilizer, so you don't need to apply fertilizer.

"After a while, when the fruit trees bloom, I will come and tell you how to thin the flowers, and when the fruit bears, I will come back again, and tell you what the arrangements are at that time.

"I won't let you work in vain, I'll give you ten taels of silver for a year, what do you think?

"This is my father's and mother's hard work, I don't want to waste it, and I don't want to entrust it to someone who can't trust it, think about it, I trust you and my sixth aunt the most."

This trust touched Uncle Zhao very much, but he didn't agree, "Didn't you try to ask the people in your clan?" ”

"It's not appropriate to ask anyone!" Yuan Ning sighed, "No matter which surname Zhu is handed over, others will not be happy, besides, they are willing to take it, and I still don't believe it." ”

"You kid!" Aunt Zhao Liu pushed her, "You can't talk like that." It's not good for people to hear. ”

Yuan Ning deliberately showed the innocence of the child, "I'm telling the truth!" ”

Aunt Zhao Liu smiled and said to Uncle Zhao Liu: "Go and tell the person surnamed Zhu, it's good that this kid can do such a big thing." ”

Uncle Zhao gritted his teeth, "That's it, I'll leave it to me." ”

Yuan Ning smiled, "But I still have to trouble the sixth uncle to work first, and I have to settle the money for you at the end of the year." ”

"You kid, don't talk about money......"

Sixth Uncle Zhao had just started when he was interrupted by Yuan Ning, "Sixth Uncle, the money I earned from selling fruits is enough to pay you, if you sell it for a lot of money, I can give you a little more money, don't fight with me for this, how can I let you work for nothing!" ”

"Look," Uncle Zhao pointed to Yuan Ning and said to Aunt Zhao Liu, "This child is worthy of being a child in charge, and he talks and acts like an adult!" ”

Aunt Zhao smiled and smiled, her eyes were red, "It's also a child's life." ”

I lost my father and mother early.

After doing this well, Yuan Ning went to the old patriarch's house again, gave the old patriarch a roast chicken, put down the snacks he brought, and asked the old patriarch to give a point to the children in the clan, "Now I have no other ability, and when I come out in the future, I will definitely not forget the people who helped us." ”

The old patriarch also sighed a lot, "Child, after you go out, you have to rely on yourself for everything, you ...... Be careful. However, no matter what, do not do anything that disgraces your ancestors. ”

"What do you mean?" Yuan Ning pretended to be stupid.

The old patriarch also thought that she had gone to be a concubine, but in these years, she laughed at the poor and did not laugh at the prostitute, so she couldn't say it on the surface, and said vaguely: "Anyway, no matter what time it is, you must be careful about your duty, now that you are no longer in the village, even if something happens, the clan will not be able to help." ”

Yuan Ning nodded, sneering in his heart, "I know, if I get better or worse in the future, I won't be involved in the clan." ”

Knowing that Yuan Ning was back, many clansmen came to see the excitement, and they were the most happy to share the snacks, but they also felt a little disgusted with Yuan Ning's self-depravity.
