It is said that after the Lantern Festival, Ziqing moved back to her parents' house, sent Shen Jianren's family away on the sixteenth, and sent away the Zifu family on the morning of the eighteenth. Xiao Tao followed the Liu family for a year, and it was considered easy, and the Shen family let him take it away. On the afternoon of the 19th, Zilu and Zishou were sent away, both of them were in the state school, and Zixi was sent away early in the morning of the 20th, and the Zeng family was left with Zeng Ruixiang, Shen, Ziyu, and of course, Chen with the child.

After Ziqing left, Ziqing moved back to Qingyuan at the instigation of Lin Kangping, because in Zeng's house, Lin Kangping and Ziqing could not sleep in the same bed, Lin Kangping said that Ziqing was not around, he was really difficult to sleep, Ziqing couldn't resist him, so he could only move back to Qingyuan, fortunately, the two families were like a family, Ziqing came and went every day, and Shen also talked about relief, and He was by his side, and the days passed quickly.

Ziqing saw that her father and mother were getting older day by day, and Ziyu had also become a big girl, so Zeng Ruiyu hired an honest and honest family from the village, and the two of them worked on fruit trees and sand in the back mountain every day, and Shen and Ziyu could also spare time to do something else.

On this day, Ziqing was teaching Lin Kangping to soak seeds in the clean room, there were watermelons, beans, cucumbers, peppers, etc., Xiaolan came to report, Zeng Ruiyu came, Ziqing and Lin Kangping went to the front yard, it turned out to be for spring ploughing.

"You have a large vacant land there, horizontal and vertical to plow, I mean it is better to find someone to plow the land now, these days are idle farming, so as to find someone, to do your family's work, we should also get the seedling field, and then go forward, it is time to cut rape." Have you thought of what to plant? ”

"I want to order mung beans, third uncle, do you think it's okay now?" Ziqing asked. Mung beans can not only fertilize the land, it is said that mung beans are also relatively easy to sell, and most of the summer in the south is inseparable from this heat.

"Spring mung beans to be before and after the rain in the valley, and now it has just been stung, according to me, you might as well order corn, and you can order summer mung beans after the corn is harvested, I have seen many villagers order corn in the mountains. It doesn't take too good to have a good harvest. It just so happens that your land is not fat, and after raising it for a few months, you have made a lot of fertilizer. If you plant a crop of corn, you may be able to harvest some of it, and you can also plant another crop of summer mung beans. Zeng Ruiyu persuaded that the yield of corn is still relatively high, and many people do not have enough fine grains to eat, so they have begun to grind corn into flour and mix it into flour. You can also steam some steamed bun cake or something, so although the price of corn is not high, it is still relatively easy to sell.

Ziqing remembered in a trance that corn and edamame could be interplanted, as if there were peanuts, and interplanting seemed to be able to improve the yield of crops, which was a reciprocal thing, but the key was that Ziqing didn't know the specific operation, and she had to rely on herself to slowly explore [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 221, Interplanting Chapter]. I just don't know if the price is big, but, no matter what. I always have to give it a try.

After thinking about it, Ziqing said: "Then listen to the third uncle, order corn, you help me buy seeds when I go back, and one more, you help me keep an eye on the people who work at the point, the gap between the two corn plants is larger, you let them order edamame, and the edamame seeds are also bought by you, Kangping has never planted the land." In this regard, you still have enough experience, edamame can be pulled in more than two months, and it does not affect the growth of corn, I seem to have seen such a method of farming from somewhere, I will try it first this year, if it is done. You can plant again next year. ”

"Really? You have to think carefully, in case it doesn't work, not to mention the waste of seeds, but also the waste of this land, why don't you take half of the land first, and you can also see how much difference there is between the two harvests? If not, you'll be able to keep the harvest of a hundred acres of land. ”

When Ziqing heard that this was indeed the case, it was still too simple to think about the problem by herself, and she hurriedly said: "Then it will all be arranged by the third uncle, and the seeds of 200 acres of mung beans will also be bought, which will save you a trip." ”

"By the way, third uncle, there are two older ones on Zhuangzi's side, they said that they have also farmed, you see what you arrange for them to do. And you can tell them about the daily field management, I still don't understand much. Lin Kangping said.

Zeng Ruiyu promised to just want to go out, but suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you need to plant the lotus root in your garden again?" But that doesn't have much work, you don't need to invite outsiders, our brothers will come over and help you in two days. Anyway, you have someone at home, and a few of us have discussed that we will come over when we are free. Help you do it for a year this year, let your people follow along, and you can do it yourself next year. ”

Lin Kangping thanked him and said: "I have already left the seeds when I harvested the lotus root in the old year, so I don't need to plant it again, but I still want to thank a few uncles." However, the watermelon field at home needs to be plowed, and the third uncle will have time to help and teach these little ones. ”

Ziqing suddenly remembered and said, "Kangping should have a few uncles for a drink, I promised it, but I'm afraid it's been a few years." According to me, one day we have finished the work in the field, so we should stay and let us repay our vows as soon as possible. ”

Zeng Ruiyu smiled and nodded and left, Ziqing told Lin Kangping about it, and Lin Kangping listened and said yes.

After the sting, the old king also began to pick up the flowers and plants in the garden, as well as the bamboo forest; Lin Feng still fertilizes the peach tree every day, and there are many ducks and geese at home, except for activities in the peach forest in the pond; Lin Shan took care of the vegetable and melon fields at home, and Lin An and Lin Fu helped him when he was busy; Lin An is mainly responsible for the external affairs of the family, Lin Fu is basically Lin Kangping's follower, and when Lin Kangping is not going out, he is basically guarding the gatehouse.

Ziqing invited a few cousins to dinner as she said, and invited the third mother-in-law by the way, Lin Kangping and several cousins drank together, got drunk, and dispersed happily. The happy third mother-in-law praised Ziqing and Lin Kangping for their benevolence and generosity, and when these words reached the ears of the old man and Tian's family, it was naturally not a taste. Tian had the heart to come to the door to ask for the guilt, but after these several confrontations, Tian finally understood that Ziqing and Lin Kangping were not something she could handle, so she could only sigh secretly at home. Of course, Ziqing didn't know this.

It rained for three or four days in a row, and this day finally cleared, Ziqing hugged Shurui to see Shen, Xiaoqing followed, holding Ziqing's newly knitted sweater for He's, but saw Xia Yu wiping tears with Shen, and said: "I've only lived for a few days, and I haven't seen her say yes before, why did I say I wanted a house as soon as I was here, and said that I lived in her house." I'm a woman, how do I live in the back? I've always been timid and not in good health, and he wasn't unaware. ”

Ziqing was confused when she heard it, and hurriedly asked what was going on, Shen looked at Xia Yu and sighed, it turned out that Xia Yu was worried that the child was not suitable and wanted to stay with the child here for a while, she lived in the previous boudoir, who knew that Zeng Ruiqing came back, Zhou said that the house should be given to Ziquan to live in, Ziquan is also getting older day by day, and he can't always follow his mother, not to mention that there is a Huihui, but let them go to the back room, Zhou is not at ease, so he opened his mouth to pick up Xia Yu and let her mother and mother move to the back room to live, how dare she live alone with the child in such a big place behind? Could it be that it became the two of them, so that the old man and the Tian family could not move to the back room? The old man is used to living and is reluctant to move the place easily, not to mention that the back room has not been lived in for several years, so it is a little gloomy, so Xia Yu is very embarrassed.

"Second aunt, this matter is not difficult, is there a private school in your village?" Ziqing asked.

"Yes, yes, isn't this to save some money?" Xia Yu said in a low voice.

"Second aunt, I don't mean anything else, if you are willing to go home, I will subsidize you with five taels of silver a year, and take you to see a doctor and take medicine, it should be enough. If you are still willing to be here, if you are willing, you will live in my house, and there are vacant rooms in my house, but I am worried that you and the child are not at home, and my aunt will not only take care of the family, but also take care of the outside, and will soon spring plough. It's better for the family to be together, I wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I didn't see you and forgot about it. ”

"Then how embarrassing, you have helped me enough, to be honest, the past few years have been okay, your aunt planted some peanuts, soybeans, and potatoes you gave, and the rent of a few acres of paddy fields, which is enough for us to live, and we can have about ten taels of silver left a year." It's just that your aunt is doing it alone, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to bear it, so I always ask his two younger brothers to help, and then take some money to buy wine and invite them to eat. ”

"This is as it should be, you pay, they contribute some strength, otherwise, brotherhood can't afford to endure a year or two of torment." Shen nodded.

"Besides, Zi'er is also fourteen years old, and it is time to say kiss next year at the latest, although I am not her mother, I have raised her for a while, and I don't want others to gossip, I always have to buy her two serious things. So I still have a few dozen taels of silver in my hand, and I don't dare to spend it ruthlessly, thanks to you in the past few years, I always send food and clothing to me, so I also spend some medicine money myself. I thought about finishing Zi'er's business, if I have money, I still want to buy two acres of paddy fields, and the children will not starve in the future. Who knows how many years I can accompany him with this body? Xia Yu wiped her tears and said.

"Okay, talk nonsense, listen to Qing'er's words, let's go home, you stay here, your father and mother will only be in a dilemma, not counting the two sisters-in-law's family, Mu Mu is often on his mother's side, there are many children in the family, and there are times when you can't take care of them for a while, if you are idle for these, it is really not worth taking medicine when you are sick. Qing'er is right, the family is still together, I have been suffering for more than ten years, your second brother finally understands, otherwise your second brother would not quit the museum and go home to open one. Shen persuaded.

Xia Yu listened to the words of Shen and Ziqing, meditated for a moment, and said: "I'll go home, I don't need Qing'er to give me silver, it's only more than one or two silver a year, and I'll be really difficult in the future, I'll open my mouth to you again, my family will raise more chickens and ducks, as well as those fruit trees, take care of them diligently, where can't I earn these two silvers, I'm confused." After saying that, he patted his thigh and stood up to leave. Ziqing hurriedly said, say it when she leaves, and let Lin An send her. (To be continued)
