The peony on the hillside finally packed up before the beginning of winter.

This year's autumn harvest is officially over, and it's time to rest. After the villagers paid the autumn grain, a cartload of grain was escorted by Zhao Lizheng and others, and sent to the county to be stored by the grain officials, and a small part of the grain would be left in the county grain depot as a local security reserve grain, and most of it would be escorted to the state capital or the Dengzhou forbidden army garrison by the government officials and soldiers.

Zhou Weiji is not only in the army, but also the head of the Huang County, and he knows that the county Zhou Changhai is reused, so he is so busy these days that his feet do not touch the ground, raising people and horses to escort grain and grass.

Lan Yi was not idle, she had already buckled the greenhouse with the help of the Wang brothers, turned over the soil and planted rapeseeds. The greenhouse is still divided into ten furrows, in addition to last year's shallots, leeks, cucumbers, spinach and lettuce, as well as celery and big red fruits, which are tomato seeds, which she bought from Meixian.

This winter, more than a dozen families in the village have added greenhouses, including the second uncle's house. The second uncle is an old dealer, and he is the most concerned about farming, and he also deducted a smaller greenhouse at home. Lan Yi told everyone to do a good job of ventilation, and if the ventilation is not good after the fire wall is built, it is very easy to make people have a headache and faint.

If you say that the greenhouse is the largest, it is still the Cheng family's Xiaoqi. After learning how to grow greenhouses with Lan Yi, he began to ponder how to develop the maximum "value" of greenhouses this summer. The word "value" was heard by everyone after Lan Yi accidentally said it, and it was accepted by everyone after she explained.

Xiao Qi took the small servant, inspected the terrain around Huang County, selected a farmland not far from Qingshan Oil Mill surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water to buy, and specially sent someone to build a greenhouse, at this time the cucumber seedlings inside had grown more than two feet high, and they were about to bloom.

"Sister-in-law Wang, how about you look at this little dish?" Xiao Qile led Lan Yi to inspect the greenhouse, his addiction to being the second brother didn't seem to have passed, and he still likes to call himself "small" when he meets people.

"Not bad." Xiao Qi built forty greenhouses, each half an acre in size, which was quite spectacular. He listened to Lan Yi's opinion, and found a professional craftsman and an old dealer to build it, which was naturally much better than Lan Yi's greenhouse, and the interior was more standardized and spacious.

Hearing Lan Yi only say two words, Xiao Qi stared at her beautiful eyes, "Sister-in-law Wang, how is it good?" What's good, what's wrong, you explain. ”

This kid! Lan Yi looked at his beautiful little face, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Qi, you have also seen my greenhouse, I just remember that someone said that this greenhouse is practiced, and it has only been planted for a year, I have already told you what I know, and I really don't know any more." I see that your vegetables are growing much better than what I planted last year, and I am sure that I will have a good harvest. ”

Xiao Qi smiled embarrassedly and rubbed his face, pulled Lan Yi's sleeve and squatted on the ridge, "Sister-in-law Wang, look at this cucumber seedling, it's about to bloom." ”

Lan Yi took a closer look, "Well, it will be able to open in these two days, and you will be able to eat fresh cucumbers in a few days." ”

Xiao Qi likes to eat cucumbers, and ten of the more than 40 greenhouses are cucumbers. Seeing him staring at the cucumber seedlings affectionately, Lan Yi couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, "Speaking of which, Liang Langzhong of Jishantang also eats cucumbers, Xiao Qi, don't you have a good relationship with him, Huang Guang is better, you might as well send him some." ”

Xiao Qitou shook like a rattle, "Sister-in-law Wang, don't sue him." He knew that the cucumbers in a small greenhouse were not enough for him to gnaw. ”

A greenhouse, half an acre, thousands of pounds of cucumbers...... Lan Yi shook her shoulders, Liang Jin couldn't eat it anymore.

"Besides, these melons are going to be sold to make money." Xiao Qi happily scratched on the ground with a branch, "These vegetables in the greenhouse have grown, and there will definitely be a lot of harvest this year, and I will earn a lot of silver for the little one." ”

It is said that Xiao Qi, as the most favored seventh young master of the Cheng family, is the most lacking in silver, but he is very keen on making money, and he is especially keen to make money from his family. Lan Yi always felt that there must be some reason behind Xiao Qi's urgent need for money, but Xiao Qi didn't mention it, and Lan Yi didn't want to ask, after all, everyone has their own privacy.

"I heard Lin Xi say that the Qingshan fresh fruits we shipped out have returned to their original capital, and they have earned a lot of silver, congratulations to Xiao Qi."

Xiao Qi squinted and smiled, the heat and humidity in the greenhouse were high, and his little face became more and more white and red, and in this large area of tender green, it looked particularly cute, "I am happy and happy, this time the small one is stained with the light of Sister-in-law Wang." ”

The shares of Qingshan Fresh Fruit Lan Yi and Xiao Qi each account for forty percent, Lan Yi has an idea, Xiao Qi has a capital, and now he has earned it, of course, he is happy.

"Let's go," Lan Yi clenched her fists, afraid that she couldn't help but step forward and pinch Xiao Qi's face, speaking of which, this guy is now a year older than her, but it's not Yu'er and Wenxuan, who can pinch it casually, "Brother Xia and Shopkeeper Xia should also arrive." ”

Several shareholders of Tsingshan Shangji met at Tsingshan Oil Mill today to summarize the operation of the previous period and formulate the next stage of development plan by the way. Lan Yi came early today, so she had time to go to Xiao Qi's greenhouse.

"Sister-in-law Wang, it's good to grow a greenhouse, right? You can see that the trees and flowers outside are withered, but the greenhouse is full of spring, which is pleasing to the eye. Xiao Qi took a breath of cold air and sighed.

Lan Yi nodded, Xiao Qi's words are the most reasonable, but he was born in the Cheng family, and there must be a place to raise vegetables and flowers such as a warm house in the house, why is there such a fuss?

"Xiao Qi, don't you have a warm house at home?"

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Lan Yi with an idiot's gaze, "What's the same, this is grown by the little one!" ”

After the two got acquainted, Lan Yi gradually revealed her true nature. Now that I heard Xiao Qi say this, I couldn't help but roll my eyes and pursed my mouth, "What you planted, it was obviously planted by hired people." My greenhouse is my own growing! ”

Xiao Qi's eyes rolled, "Speaking of which, the little one hasn't officially congratulated Sister-in-law Wang yet." When will you and Zhou Bantou get married, don't forget to inform the little one, the little one is good to watch the ceremony. ”

Lan Yi smiled secretly, Xiao Qi had miscalculated this time. She, a person who has traveled back in time from modern times, how can she blush because of such Cheng Dù's jokes.

"Don't forget to give a generous gift when Xiao Qi comes."

After discussing the matter of Shang Ji, Wang Linxi was busy with Shang Ji's accounts, Lan Yi and Lin Yuan went back to Beigou Village together, and now that the Jia family is at home, she is not worried that the two children will not have anything to eat.

After Wang Chengde's father and son left, Jia moved to sleep on the kang in the West House, and Lan Yi and her two children slept in the East House. After cleaning up the two children and sleeping at night, Lan Yi began to pay attention to Zhou Weiji's movements. Zhou Weiji hasn't been back for a few days, counting the days, he should be going home today.

Lan Yi wiped her long hair and remembered that Wang Linyuan said that Zhou Weiji planned to go into the mountains to hunt. Although it is not yet winter, the temperature has gradually decreased a lot, Lan Yi has taken the jacket and put it on, and changed the thick quilt at night. The temperature in the mountains is lower at night, and if you go into the mountains to hunt at this time, you will be frozen?

Two days ago, the gardener Zhao Shangjing planned to go into the mountains to look for grass, but he didn't succeed, because the second uncle said that this winter would come quickly, and he was afraid that it would snow. Tell him not to go into the mountains.

She took out a pen and paper and wrote a few words and put them in her arms, waiting for Zhou Weiji to come back.

At the beginning of the day, when the two children were asleep, the familiar sound of horses' hooves was heard. Lan Yi got up lightly and walked to the courtyard wall on the edge of the east house and waited, Zhou Weiji jumped from here several times, this is the closest place between the two families.

Hearing his footsteps getting closer and closer, Lan Yi threw the chestnut wrapped in a note in her hand and threw it over.

There was a "pop", and the fruit fell to the ground. Zhou Weiji paused, looked at the white paper balls in the blurred night, and picked them up. He walked to the wall, and knew that his little girl was on the other side, so he lightly clasped his fingers.

Lan Yi's family now has Jia's family, and he is afraid that his voice will be heard if he is loud.

Lan Yi was worried that Zhou Wei couldn't see the paper balls in the night, when he heard the footsteps coming and heard the sound of him buckling the wall, he was happy in his heart, and he also stretched out his little fist and knocked it in response to him.

The two of them stood by the wall, neither moving, but a cold wind blew and went into their necks.

Lan Yi heard Zhou Weiji lightly buckle three times, and knew that she was going back to the house, so she also knocked lightly three times, turned around and went back to the house, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she always felt a little like a tryst in the middle of the night, sweet and sour.

Zhou Weiji listened to her footsteps and the sound of the door opening, and there was a hint of a smile on Yan Sù's face, and he didn't want to leave.

Thinking about the paper ball she gave herself, Zhou Weiji turned around and went into the house, lit an oil lamp and took a closer look.

A book-sized note, full of chestnut-sized characters, told him not to go hunting in the mountains, just go to the city to buy some gifts, don't prepare tiger skins, and be sure to remember to eat on time, be sure to drink more hot water and drink less alcohol.

Zhou Weiji read the note three times, carefully wrote it down word by word, and then flattened the crumpled letterhead, folded it carefully and put it in his purse. The purse was the one that Lan Yi used to give him a silver ticket when he was in Meixian, and he put it away as a love object.

He took out the money box and counted it, there were more than thirty taels in total, and it was enough to ask the matchmaker to buy the lottery gift. He wanted to build a house after the spring thaw, so that he could marry her and enter the door. The house is also decades old, and there are places where there is water and wind leaking. If a sturdy blue brick house is built, and the east and west wings are built together, it will not be possible to get it without fifty or sixty taels of silver, and at that time, the monthly money of one's own money will not be enough. He also wanted to give her a hairpin when the girl was in time, although he knew that she didn't care about this, but he cared. She is her daughter-in-law, and she must let her and her children eat and dress well.

Zhou Weiji's family originally had six acres of paddy fields and four acres of sloping land, but the eldest sister had no savings when she got married, so she sold three acres of paddy fields to make up the dowry. In the past few years, he let the eldest sister collect the family's rent, and after returning from the border, the eldest sister said that she would save money for him to marry his daughter-in-law, and refused to accept this money again.

He didn't take back the field, he still let the villagers rent and plant, except for the straw and wheat straw left to feed the horses, most of the grain he sent to the fourth brother Gaofeng's house, and the eldest brother couldn't just let the fourth brother give money for medicine on weekdays.

He knew that he was a rough man, and he only had the strength to make money, build a house, and marry a daughter-in-law, and there was no better way than to go into the mountains to hunt.

But since the little girl is worried, she won't go into the mountain after the freeze this year, so let's go back in the spring next year.

Zhou Weiji looked at the empty house, it would be impossible not to go, he was a man, so he naturally had to earn money to support his family. R1152
