Chapter 18: Helping Each Other

Zhong Ling quickly finished his bowl of rice, smacked his lips in satisfaction, scooped up a scoop of water to drink, and then came over to take the little sister from Yuan Ning's hand and took her to sleep.

Yuan Ning is actually very difficult to hold the child with one hand, but there is no way, she is really hungry and can't stand it, she can't let her younger brothers and sisters hear her stomach gurgling, right?

Shu Yu laughed while eating, and said to Bo Zhong: "Big brother, we can eat a full meal!" ”

Yuan Ning paused with chopsticks and said softly: "Don't worry, our days will get better and better, from today onwards, let's have a full meal!" ”

Bo Zhong was startled, "Eldest sister, we don't have much food!" ”

"I know it in my heart," Yuan Ning chuckled, "The person we rescued sent a lot of food back, I roughly calculated, enough for us to eat for half a year, within half a year, the eldest sister will definitely find a way to make money, so that our family doesn't have to worry about eating anymore!" ”

Although she was sure, her two younger brothers didn't believe it, and Bo Zhong secretly pondered that when Ming'er had to tell Zhong Ling to cook, she couldn't listen to the eldest sister's meal and eat dry rice, it would be better to be thicker than before.

At the same time, Su Heting had already returned to his official residence.

He also holds a small mold in his hand, which is engraved with the word "Shou" written backwards, although it is not a font, but it is very neat, and the strokes are clear.

Thinking about the trees hanging on the trees he saw in the orchard before, he understood that this was going to be done on the tree in the future, but what he was going to do with this was something he couldn't figure out for a while.

After playing with the mold for a long time, he decided that he wanted to do one more favor.

saved his own life, people only need one hundred taels of silver, although it shows that the other party is very kind, but he feels that this is far from enough, is his life only worth one hundred taels?

Carving this out of wood is really time-consuming and laborious, and it is not necessarily strong, after all, it is easy to crack when the sun is exposed.

He had to think of something else to replace it......

He has a lot of capable people, but he can't think of it for a while, and he can do it quickly if he explains it.

It is impossible to have only one word "longevity", that girl is very clever, maybe "Fulu Shou and Joyful Wealth" are available, is there "joy and health"? What about "all the best" and "Sanyang Kaitai"?

That's it, let people make some good for her.

Seeing that girl was full of ambition, he wanted to see what she could toss out of the name.

Yuan Ning brought the rabbit, the clay pot and some spices to the fruit forest, and stewed rabbit meat in the fruit forest, and the rabbit head made a spicy rabbit head alone.

In fact, rabbits are not very easy to make, and if they are not done well, they will smell of grass. But they are now lacking oil and water in their stomachs, and the smell of grass is completely negligible.

The spicy rabbit head doesn't have those fishy smells, but the rabbit head doesn't have much meat, that is, each person just chews a few bites to satisfy their cravings.

As for the remaining pheasant, it was raised for two more days before it was stewed in the fruit grove. The five brothers and sisters opened the meat several times, but they were never discovered by the villagers. However, because of this supplemental nutrition and the ability to eat dry rice, the complexion of the five people was obviously much better.

As time passed, the wheat harvest was in full swing.

Originally, what Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong did was to fatten the fertile fields that were exchanged for their hands, but the previous harvest of the thin fields was still theirs, and the harvest on the fertile fields was also theirs.

When they want to reap, they go to the thin fields to reap.

Leaving Shu Yu to take care of Ji Xiu, Yuan Ning took Bo Zhong and Zhong Ling to the ground with a sickle.

The three of them sweated like rain in the field, but their work efficiency was not high, after all, they were young.

But they all endure hardship, and they will always work for a while longer than others, and the three sisters and brothers will go out before dawn, and when the other families go home to cook and eat at noon, Yuan Ning will send Zhong Ling home to cook, and he and Bo Zhong will do it for a while.

Of course, she also pays special attention to letting everyone hydrate, and the straw hat on her head is always worn, and she will take a proper rest. So even after such hard work, there were no symptoms of heat stroke.

The lunch was made by Zhong Ling, and it was brought over after eating.

Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong were eating on the ground, and Zhong Ling continued to go down to the field to cut wheat.

In order to support such a large intensity, Yuan Ning specially told Zhong Ling that he must not be reluctant to put oil when cooking.

Other people's families can lose a lot of weight after the wheat harvest, because they can't keep up with the food, but they have a lot of strength.

But Yuanning didn't guard much, but because they worked more and ate well, everyone was a lot stronger.

After cutting the wheat for three days, Yuan Ning, Bo Zhong, and Zhong Ling all had blisters on their hands, but none of them complained of pain, silently broke the blisters, squeezed out the water inside, and simply treated them with herbs before continuing to work.

After all, they are only three children, and the speed of work cannot catch up with the adults, so the old patriarch is in charge and asks his children and grandchildren to come over to help, so that the wheat harvest is finished.

Even when paying taxes, the old patriarch asked his children and grandchildren to help get them.

Yuan Ning was grateful for the kindness of the old patriarch, and after the wheat harvest was over, he specially cut two catties of meat and sent it over.

Seeing that she was so sensible, the old patriarch refused to ask for anything, and told her that if she had any difficulties in the future, she just went to him.

Yuan Ning had no choice but to go back with the meat, and had a beautiful meal of dumplings with his younger brothers and sisters.

The rest of the meat, the fat one was refined with oil, the thin one was fried with slices, and more salt was deliberately put in it, and it was kept for several dishes.

When the wheat harvest was over, all the wheat was bagged, and except for the tax, the rest was not sold, and all was kept for rations.

Yuan Ning took Bo Zhong to plant all the two acres of land into ramie.

Originally, when I didn't know that there was a fruit forest, I naturally had to set aside some land to grow food, but now that there is a fruit forest, I don't have to bother so much. Ramie can only be harvested once this year, but next year you can harvest more.

Before the wheat harvest, most of the fruit groves were repaired, and after the wheat harvest was over, Yuan Ning was ready to continue repairing.

Who knows, when I arrived at the fruit forest, I was surprised, because all the fruit trees had been pruned, and the weeds on the ground had been cleared, and the fluffy layer was newly grown after the rain.

Moreover, there are a lot of molds hanging on the fruit trees, which are much more delicate than those made by their sisters and brothers, and they are not carved from wood, but made of cardboard, and they are also waterproof.

Bo Zhong looked at it, his eyes widened, and he muttered for a long time before he asked, "Could it be that the gods did it for us?" ”

"How is that possible!" Yuan Ning lightly knocked a chestnut on his head, "This must be that Su Gongzi looking for someone to help." Although I asked him for a reward, it was obvious that people were very confident in their worth and felt that the previous gifts were far from enough.

The two of them turned around, but fortunately, not all the fruit trees were molded, and compared to the total number of fruits, there were still a small number of molds.
