Song Ziyu stepped aside, wanting to see how Cai Qing persuaded his stubborn brother.

Lu Caiqing looked at Song Ziwu and said: "Let's not talk about that distant thing, let's just say that in front of us, after this pile of sweet potatoes is carried back, how many catties of sweet potatoes can we produce by planting it in the ground?" How much can we sell it for in the city? Will you count? ”

"It's good to take the third brother with you, he will take him with him!"

"Then if Zifei has something, you know that Zifei will guard us, and his life will always be with us, won't he leave us and go to the city to develop his own career, who are you pointing at that time?"

"Big brother! Didn't the eldest brother also learn? Is it good that he can read and hyphenation? ”

"Then why can't you learn, Ziwu, you are only sixteen this year, you like to dance with knives and sticks so much, it is hard to guarantee that one day you will go to be a soldier to defend your family and defend the country, and then you will always be a big soldier and charge into battle, don't you want to be a general, people say that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

"Then I will not be a soldier at home, but will guard this home for the rest of my life."

"Ziwu! What are you afraid of? I remember that the old man said in ancient times that when the boy was studying, the black hair did not know how to study early, and the white hair regretted studying late. It's a good time now, and if you miss it, you'll miss out on a lot of things. And I also know some knowledge of the formation of troops for war, all of which I have heard from lectures, don't you want to learn? Lu Caiqing said seductively.

Lu Caiqing didn't say deeply, she saw Song Ziwu's thirst for the art of war, so she persuaded him to learn according to his preferences.

"Forget it! Shaozhuang doesn't work hard, the boss is sad, I don't learn and I save some energy, anyway, everyone in the family is seeking progress, if you fall behind Brother Song and Zifei, don't blame us. ”

Song Ziwu listened, lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked weakly: "You really know how to arrange troops, don't lie to me, I only learned it because of it." ”

"Don't worry! Things have to be learned slowly, you can't eat a fat man in one bite, since everyone agrees, let's start tonight. ”

The three of them didn't have any opinions, and after finishing their work, they put all the sweet potatoes in the baskets, and the four of them set off for home. Lu Caiqing calculated the sowing time in the field according to the season, thinking that this is an early spring sweet potato, and he is improving it to see if it can germinate when the autumn potato is planted, and now it is just June, which is the best time to plant autumn and summer.

Because the number of sweet potatoes is limited, after returning home, Lu Caiqing sorted out the fifty-two uniform sweet potatoes that he had checked, asked Song Ziyu to send them to the cellar, and then kept some small ones that were not registered at home and those with pickaxe injuries, because those with pickaxes would not last long and would rot, so he selected some sweet potatoes with pickaxe injuries for the three brothers to satisfy their hunger at night.

After dinner, Lu Caiqing talked and counted, found an unburned branch under the stove, and found some oiled paper for pasting the window.

Wasteland bought, just short of sweet potato seedlings, they have to cultivate for a few days, five acres of wasteland is not enough to plant sweet potatoes, and let the leg travel is faster Song Ziwu went to the county seat to buy wheat seeds, when he thought of the autumn harvest, he could have sweet potatoes and white noodles at home.

Lu Caiqing cut a few pieces of each sweet potato evenly, soaked it in water, and waited for several days as if serving the ancestors, before the seedlings were born, picking up the vigorous roots, taking advantage of this time, Song Ziyu was not idle, with the two brothers, got up early and played greedily to get out of the wasteland.

Lu Caiqing watched the wasteland being turned up, borrowed an oxcart in the name of Brother Li, climbed the plow, and ridged according to Lu Caiqing's requirements, everything was ready, Lu Caiqing planted the sweet potato seedlings in the ground, carefully cultivated the soil, and watered it. The wheat was also sown in the ground. Just wait for them to grow up.

It took almost a week to finish the farm work at hand. That's when their first guest was welcomed to their home.

I saw two tall horses driving the way, and behind them pulled a carriage wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk on all sides, and the gold-inlaid window frames were obscured by a curtain of pale blue crepe, so that no one outside the carriage could see who was in such a gorgeous, speeding car.

Because Lu Caiqing often had to go out to the foot of the mountain to see the sweet potato fields in the barren mountains to see the growth, the three brothers made it convenient for Lu Caiqing to travel, so they bulldozed the stones at the foot of the mountain, which allowed the carriage to drive in unimpeded.

Lu Caiqing was embroidering in the yard, and the three brothers were practicing writing around the table. It's the weather in July now, sitting in the yard because there is no shade around it, sitting in the yard looks very stuffy, fortunately, Song Ziwu will carpenter work, and he made a big parasol to stand on the wooden table to support it, just enough to cover the sun on the heads of several people, and when it rains, you can also shelter from the rain, and also increase the service life of the wooden table.

The cool breeze in the mountains hit, and the yard was exceptionally cool, Zifei suddenly looked up and saw a carriage slowly coming on the road, so he said, "Look at it! Someone's coming. ”

Lu Caiqing and several people watched at the same time, and sure enough, a delicate carriage slowly stopped at the door of their house, in fact, they didn't have to think that they were passing by, because the road from the village entrance to the foot of the mountain led directly to their home.

Lu Caiqing thought to himself, if he came here at this time, he could still sit in such a carriage, it must be someone else, it should be the Lin Huaijin he knew! But there's something wrong with this man! If you don't stay in the city, you don't need to collect embroidery, and you don't need him to come in person!

After thinking about it, it's a guest when it's here, I can't say I like it, but it's not very annoying, since I'm here, I'll receive it!

Lu Caiqing and the three brothers of the Song family got up to greet them, and sure enough, after the carriage stopped, the coachman really walked out of it with a curtain, it was Lin Huaijin.

After he got out of the car, he saw Lu Caiqing at a glance, he was stunned at first, and then he still put on the smile like the spring breeze of the past, and he couldn't see the world in his heart clearly.

Lu Caiqing, as the hostess, greeted: "Boss Lin! It's just an ordinary embroidery! This mountain road is rugged, you don't need to buy it yourself! ”

Lin Huaijin looked at the little man who was thinking about it day and night, and said the words of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and smiled bitterly in his heart, but replied without changing his face: "I am here to travel in the mountains, and I will stay for a few days!" ”

When Lu Caiqing heard this, his face collapsed, and he was puzzled: "Hey, hey! The owner of the family still hasn't agreed? Why are you so thick-skinned? You have to stay for a few days, you think this is your territory, you can come if you want! ”

Song Ziwu listened, his temper came up, and he continued: "Seeing that you are rich and powerful, why rely on our family, there are many places to live in Chenjia Village, and you are not welcome in our family!" ”
