Spring ploughing is over busy wheat harvest, wheat harvest is busy is the Dragon Boat Festival, this year's year is good, wheat harvest, four acres of wheat in addition to the old house over a stone, their own still has five stones, Ziqing thinks it may be soybeans to raise the land, planted a crop of soybeans, wheat yield increased to 260 catties per mu, nearly 30 percent, so it seems that this year's new courtyard ten acres of wasteland watermelon should also be able to harvest, planted a crop of soybeans, and then planted a crop of rape fertilizer.

It is said that at the end of last year, because I was busy making lanterns, I didn't have the heart to take care of the vegetable field, and all the land in the garden was sprinkled with rapeseed, and the result was that the fifteen acres of rape strips sold before and after the Spring Festival were sold for almost fifty taels of silver, and the shopkeeper Zhou said that they sent a lot to the provincial capital, especially in the next few days after the year, which was very popular with the people in the city. Ziqing thought that this was much more suitable than just planting rapeseed and harvesting rapeseed, selling it for more money, and it could also fertilize the land, save trouble, and kill three birds with one stone.

Ziqing was looking forward to it, because the family's money was basically all to buy shops and paddy fields, and the family was empty again, and the family was empty, and her heart was empty, and she had no sense of security. It's no wonder that modern women looking for a partner must have a house, a car and a deposit, and Ziqing's family is still far away.

A few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Xia Yu went back to her parents' house again, when Shen's took Ziqing over, Xia Yu was wiping tears from her eyes, it turned out that Xia Yu had been married for more than a year, and there had been no news, and her mother-in-law always knocked and knocked from time to time, but it was useless to be anxious, Xia Yu's health was not good, and she had been taking medicine to recuperate.

This time, because Zhou Tianqing's eldest brother and divorced, the newly married younger brother and sister can't tolerate the two daughters born by his ex-wife, the younger daughter is not in good health, not yet two years old, a typhoid fever did not see Langzhong in time, and the eldest daughter is four years old, and her mother-in-law is worried that her eldest granddaughter has no one to take care of. If you don't have enough food and clothing, you can't dress warmly, and you are beaten and scolded from time to time, and you are afraid that you will not grow up like your second granddaughter, so you want your eldest daughter-in-law to adopt her. The eldest daughter-in-law has not yet given birth, and the locals are superstitious, saying that adopting a child may bring good luck. It will bring luck to yourself.

Xia Yu didn't want to adopt, but Zhou Tianqing saw that his niece was really pitiful. And he can't meddle in his brother's housework, so he can only secretly give her some food, and if he can adopt her, he can take care of her openly.

Shen didn't want to interject about this, Tian clamored that he didn't agree to adopt, and if he wanted to adopt, he would adopt a boy, but it was in the countryside. Unless the family really can't open the pot, whoever will sell the boy will also sell the girl. Besides, how could the ancients, who had such a strong clan concept, easily adopt children outside, even the patriarch would not easily agree.

"What are you talking about? What do you know as an old woman? Why don't you shut up your foul mouth and listen to what the child has to say? The old man shouted.

Xia Yu and her husband had quarreled several times over this matter, and she also talked back to her mother-in-law a few times. This time the two quarreled again, Xia Yu ran back to her parents' house angrily, and the other was distracted. The second is that I want to ask my father and mother's idea.

Shen Shi listened and said: "Second sister, it's not my sister-in-law who said you, if you want to come, you should tell your brother-in-law and let him send you over." You just left quietly, something is going to happen on the road alone, what are you going to do, what do you want your father to do? Besides, you're gone, and your brother-in-law can't be crazy looking for you, you're a little willful this time. Adoption or not, not in a day or two, according to the brother-in-law's temperament, he will not decide such a big thing by himself without listening to your ideas, everything can be discussed slowly. ”

Tian didn't like to listen to it, so he pulled his face and said: "Zifu mother, Xia Yu has suffered so many grievances herself, you don't talk about persuasion and persuasion when you are a sister-in-law, but you come up and say that these things are not there, and she is even more useless." It's wrong, and her father and mother are here. Could it be that we as old people don't know how to discipline children. ”

Xia Yu was a little reluctant to hear this, and said: "Mother, I know that my sister-in-law is for my good, besides, I did regret it a little after I came out, knowing that what I did was wrong, but I was embarrassed to go back." ”

The old man also glared at Tian, and was about to speak, Zhou Tianqing entered the door, sweating in his head, Xia Yu felt distressed when he saw it, Zhou Tianqing saw that his daughter-in-law was intact, and his nervous mood relaxed, so he remembered to train his daughter-in-law a few words.

"There is something that can't be discussed, you left as soon as you were angry, I looked for it in front of the village and behind the village, and then I saw that your clothes were missing two pieces, so I thought that I was going back to my parents' house, you said that you walked so far alone, and your body was weak, can I rest assured? You are not in good health and can't be angry, take a step back and say, that is, you don't want to adopt Zi'er, can I decide to adopt regardless of your thoughts? ”

Xia Yu listened to her husband's words, and the tears that had just been wiped away came again. The old man sighed, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he asked Tian to hurry up and have dinner. Shen took Ziqing out and went home.

Xia Yu stayed for the time being, and her husband stayed for two days and then went home, saying that there was still a lot of work to be done at home, such as potatoes to be harvested, peanuts to be planted, pigs to be fed, and chickens and ducks to take care of. Xia Yu originally wanted to go with him, but Tian's intention was to stay for a few more days when he finally came back, and then discuss it when the eldest son and them came back.

It just so happened that the second son of the Xiao family in Houfang was going to get married on May 20. On May 19, Zeng Ruiqing's family came back to prepare for a wedding wine, and Zhou said that he would not go to the city, but he would still wait for childbirth in the countryside with peace of mind.

The next day, when Qing and Shen passed, Tian was talking about Xia Yu with Zhou, and Zhou could only decide this matter by himself, and others would have to give advice, and they would have to complain about anything in the future. Besides, she is a person from the past and knows the pain of not having a son.

"It's said that the adopted girl is a girl, even if she has a child in the future, the dowry is just a few taels of silver, and it can't affect the children of her family, and after two or three years, the girl is older, and she can still help with housework and take care of the children." Tian and Xia Yu didn't squeak when they heard it.

Ziqing knew that Zhou's words made them moved, not only that, but if this matter is done well, it can also give Xia Yu a good reputation, and at the same time, it will also win the respect of her husband and mother-in-law, so the wise choice is to adopt the child.

Ziqing knew that the Shen family had always disliked hearing adults talk about these family affairs, so she came to find Xiushui, and had heard that the bride her second brother was going to marry this time was relatively wealthy, so her second brother was going to move to the county seat after getting married.

Xiuying is also married, the man's family is in a neighboring town, and he should get married next year, Ziqing thinks that Xiushui is thirteen years old this year, about the same age as Ziping, and will soon be married, and she is really reluctant in her heart, but she feels that the youth of ancient women is too short.
