Qian Xiancheng looked at his wife nervously, and then at his brother-in-law, he couldn't say anything to let people help him, but he also hoped that his brother-in-law could help him make a good suggestion.

"Uncle, it's better for the weather to get warmer, you can help us." Wen Han pulled Wei Chenglan's arm, "Last year, there were only three acres of rice, Wen Jin and I raised seedlings, and our eyes were red, this year, the people in the village want to plant, we don't produce enough rice, and we also asked someone to buy thousands of catties of seeds, you, you don't help us, how can it be good?" As he spoke, he glanced at his father.

Wei Chenglan immediately misunderstood, thinking that his brother-in-law was a good person and promised the villagers, but this is a good thing, after hard work, the villagers and neighbors have benefited, and he can't say that his brother-in-law is not, so he contemplated it.

"Dad, why don't you help my sister and brother-in-law then, I'll be at home with the child."

"No, my aunt is going too." Wen Han hurriedly spoke.

"I'll do it alone." Wei Chenglan spoke, "Your aunt can't do those jobs again." ”

Wen Jin quietly kicked Wen Han's foot, if his uncle came, wouldn't they be able to think of a way to bring his aunt over?

Wen Han understood, and really didn't insist anymore, but said from a different angle: "Brother Liang wants to come with you, and I want to take him to play." ”

"Okay!" After the matter was preliminarily decided, the topic at the dinner table changed, and Wen Jin ate quietly and no longer interjected.

When saying goodbye, Wen Jin pulled Ge Shi to speak: "Auntie, Sister Xi and Sister Qing are too thin, you need to eat more duck eggs to make up for it, as soon as the weather is warm, I will send duck eggs over, you must not be reluctant to eat." If they don't make it up, not only will they not grow taller in the future, but they may also not be smart. ”

"Huh? Wouldn't it be smart? Ge was frightened.

"Well, anyway, I'll send duck eggs over soon, and it's only right that my two younger sisters are well."

Ge Shi thought about it, anyway, if a man went to help his sister-in-law, it was a big deal to do more work, so he didn't object much. The bright light in her arms was light and weightless, and she was always worried in her heart, afraid that the child would not survive. As a mother, who can watch her child get weak day by day?

Although the fourth day of the first month of the first month is only a few days later than last year, the pace of spring is more than half a month late. Wen Jin saw that the wheat in the field showed no signs of turning green, and he didn't dare to hatch duck eggs and raise seedlings.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wei Chenglan came over in a hurry. Last year's seedling bed, only the size of a kang, was demolished this year, and two new ones were rebuilt, and the backyard wall heel, except for the aisles on both sides, extended from east to west.

Wang Han also brought people to help, and he also built a seedling bed in the backyard of his house.

Seeing Wen Jin lighting the fire and warming the rice bed every day, touching the bed with his hand every half an hour to judge whether the temperature is appropriate, and checking the humidity, he also has to get up several times at night, Wei Chenglan follows her every time, and quickly mastered these skills, this day, he proposed to let Wen Jin only be in charge of the day, and he would be in charge of the night.

"You're still a kid, how can you stay up late like this? Be careful of losing your body, let's change it. ”

"It's good!" Wen Jin was also so sleepy that she couldn't hold on, she was really afraid that she would oversleep that day, and the rice seedlings would freeze to death from the cold.

As the weather warmed up in February, the ducks quacked and scrambled into the pond, suffocating them for the winter.

After receiving the first batch of duck eggs for the New Year, Wen Jin immediately asked Wen Han to send them to Weijiawan.

Wen Han didn't know where Wen Jin got the knowledge, and repeatedly said that the two cousins ate too poorly, and they would get sick if they lost their bodies, but he didn't doubt Wen Jin's statement at all, and the thin bodies of the two cousins made him worry too.

In addition to a basket of duck eggs, there was also a big bag of wheat, a small bag of millet, and a bag of beans mixed together, Wen Han got up early in the morning, and had already returned before lunch, Wei Chenglan didn't notice it at all.

The people who were going to plant rice came to Qian's house to take a look at it in three or five days, and they were full of joy when they saw the green on the seedling beds. Wen Jin didn't plan to use this to make money, but said that in the autumn, they used to harvest the rice and then return the seeds.

Qian Xiancheng saw that Wen Jin was so generous, and wondered why she was so concerned about the big house.

"It's all to blame on the big house, it's too unkind. Wen Jin was very sick the summer before last, our family spent money to hire a doctor, and everything that could be sold was sold, and in the end there was really no way, so I asked the big house to help, and the sister-in-law said 'My family's money is not blown by the wind, you are a good person, I will pay for it, and I want to be beautiful.' Wen Jin burned in a daze, but he must have heard it. ”

"How can my sister-in-law be like this? If she wants to have a good reputation and take Wen Jin to live there, will we object? ”

"Hmph, I'm so anxious that I can't do it, I went to beg my aunt, she scolded the third brother and sister He, and then I didn't speak, I couldn't do it, I begged and begged, she gave a bowl of millet, and she didn't pay a penny."

"Wen Jin knows?"

"Wen Jin definitely doesn't know this, but how smart this kid is, doesn't he feel that he can't come to the big house to have no kindness to her? She is such a person with clear grievances. ”

Qian Xiancheng was also annoyed that Dafang had done things too desperately: "Third brother and sister, no, even if the He family is not good in a thousand ways, Wen Jin is also a child of my Qian family, they are even terminally ill, and they refuse to lend a hand to help?" ”

Webster glanced at her husband, what does that mean, do you think your aunt and eldest brother are good cakes? When did they ever have kindness to our side? I always want to be naked, so I can say that I am obedient.

"In the past, it was naked blackmail, but now, it's coaxing." This is what Wen Jin said, Wei Shi blamed the child for speaking too harshly at the time, but now, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that this is indeed the case, this idea, like taking root, is more and more unable to get rid of her mind.

There are many rice seedlings raised this year, Wen Jin doesn't dare to be distracted to hatch duck eggs, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and lotus seeds should also be sown seedlings.

There are still seven days before the Qingming Festival, and the seedlings on the seedling bed are already three inches tall, strong and energetic, so Wen Jin is relieved.

"Uncle, do you think this nursery bed can hatch duck eggs? Let's just keep it hot and not cold every day, right? ”

"This kid, why are duck eggs hatching like this? Gotta need an old hen. ”

"But I touched the old hen last year, and it was about the same temperature as the nursery bed, oh, no, it was a little hot, let's cover the duck eggs with a quilt, and turn them over after an hour, it should be okay."

"Wen Jin, don't try this, just like last year, pay to rent my mother**."

"Okay." Wen Jin didn't dare to insist, after all, she didn't know anything about this.

Hearing that the Qian family was going to have an old hen again, several people who were anxiously waiting immediately hugged and sent them to the door, and in four days, six were collected. There are two people from other villages, which shows how famous Wen Jin is.

Wei Chenglan and Qian Xiancheng rebuilt the chicken shed in the backyard, and the old hen started to work, watching them cooing and caring for the duck eggs under their bodies, Wei Chenglan felt very funny: "This stupid chicken." ”

After the Qingming Festival, the seedlings are about to enter the field, Wen Jin and Wen Han are very busy, pointing out how to fertilize the villagers, how to harrow the fields, how to water the ground, and when the day of the national sacrifice passes, the fields in the west of the village are full of busy figures.

Those who have planted wheat have also watched the excitement, and some people are attentive, quietly peeking on the side to learn, preparing for next year.

The Qian family's paddy field has already been fertilized and ridged, and it has been rectified, Wen Jin and Wen Han have changed their wide pants and are ready to go to the field to plant seedlings, twenty acres of land, they and the uncle of the Wei family, it will take several days. Unexpectedly, the seedlings were transported to the ground, and the people in the village rushed to help, and you planted them one by one, and they were planted in the afternoon, just looking at them from the outside, one by one, not as neat as other people's homes.

Wen Jin is not a person who pursues form, and she doesn't mind this.

Wen Jin followed what the piece of paper said and began to soak lotus seeds. First of all, she should take the lotus seed, put the end with the microporous hole on the whetstone, grind off the hard skin, and then put it in the water, and bask in the sun during the day, and at night, she will bring the pot into her house, lest the temperature be low at night in late spring.

After changing the water for five days in a row, small shoots really appeared in the lotus seeds, and she was happy: "Brother, second aunt, you see, the lotus seeds have really sprouted." ”

Wen Han ran over, picked up the piece of paper, and worried about the lotus sprouts in the pot: "How tender little sprouts, can they survive in the field?" Why don't you put it in our big basin first? ”

"Okay." Wen Jin didn't know the bottom of his heart.

The two ran to the old pond, and with great effort, they dug out a bucket of silt, carried it back, poured it into a basin, and put water on it. This has to be raised for a few days, and when the mud settles and solids, the water is clear, and the lotus buds have two leaves, Wen Jin carefully took the budding lotus seeds, pressed them in, half in the mud and half in the water, so that the lotus leaves are just on the water.

The silt of the pond, there is duck fat, there is pig fat, and the lotus seeds have entered the mud, and they grow very fast, Wen Jin looks at it every day, and the small leaves are slowly the size of copper coins.

"Okay, brother, I decided to soak all these lotus seeds."

Everyone in the family admired Wen Jin's boldness, daring to think and dare to do, those lotus seeds, in addition to the ones brought back by Qian Xiancheng, and the ones bought by Wang Jishan, were worth a few taels of silver.

Wen Han helped Wen Jin grind the lotus seeds, and Wei also came to help, carefully breaking the skin of the lotus seeds, not hurting the lotus seed flesh, and then putting them into the water.

After a full afternoon, Wen Jin's arms were sore, and it was all finished.

The next day, when Wen Jin got up, he heard someone talking outside, and the voice was very familiar: "Second sister-in-law Qian, I'm bothering you." ”

She stood at the window and took a look, who was the Lin family if she didn't come? However, she suddenly gained weight, her slender figure became bloated, and her pointed jaw became a round double chin.

"Oh, how can he come to his aunt to come? Sit in the fast house. ”

"Second sister-in-law Qian!" Lai Lin was still a little embarrassed and entered the upper room.

Wen Jin was very curious, so he stood at the window and continued to listen. Since Lai Songnian was able to make money to support his family, he was very busy when he came to Lin, and he was in a hurry every time he came, and it was natural to get along with Wei, why did he suddenly get upset? Wen Jin could still hear the polite words of the two at the beginning, who knew that as he spoke, Lin's voice suddenly became smaller, I don't know what the two muttered, and later, I heard Wei's full of promises, and then sent Lin out.
