"Mr. should be taking a lunch break, brother should go back after noon." Hearing Wang Chunrong say that he was going to find Mr. Unknown and Second Uncle Wang, Lan Yi stood up, "Second Uncle and they are not at home, the fields have not been cleaned up yet, and the peony garden on the hillside is also alive, let's drink saliva and rest first." ”

Also, Wang Chunrong picked up the teacup and drank the water, "What about my two nephews?" I went to find them and came back. ”

"Hehe," Lan Yi laughed, "These two little guys don't have to look for them, they are taking a nap at this time, but not here but in the east courtyard, the east courtyard is the courtyard where Su Yongshen's eldest brother lives, and the two little guys like this Uncle Su very much." ”

Regarding Su Yongshen's matter, Lan Yi wrote to them and told them, and the Zheng family was naturally no stranger, "Yu'er and Young Master Wenxuan are okay?" The old lady was still talking about it before she came. ”

"The Yixue in the village has a wheat harvest, so Yu'er didn't go to school and took Wenxuan to play with him at home." Jia Shi replied: "Wen Xuan has grown taller and more sensible, and he is only four years old and can help the family harvest the crops. Yu'er went to school and studied hard, and the masters praised it as a good material. Is the old lady's body better? ”

"Mother Sheng has been taking care of the old lady all the time, and my sister can rest assured."

Jia nodded, "Yes, with Master and her old man, naturally there is no need to worry about the old lady's body." It's just that Master is old, and he still has to work like this, I ......"

Zheng Shi took Jia's hand, "Sister, Mother Sheng's body is fine, she is the person next to the old lady, and she will not be wronged if she stays by the old lady's side, you should be at ease." ”

Jia Shi smiled embarrassedly, "Sister." Makes you laugh. ”

Wang Chunrong scratched his ears and stood up, "What, I'll go to Weiji's courtyard to have a look." Let's see if he's cleaned up. ”

Zheng Shi gave him a blank look, and Lan Yi smiled and took the key for him, "Brother Tuesday is not at home, and he is busy with the wheat harvest." This is the key, brother, open the door and go in by yourself. ”

Without waiting for Zheng to speak, Wang Chunrong took the key and ran out.

In fact, in addition to the wheat harvest to supervise the harvest of grain. Zhou Weiji's main work recently is the opening of the dark river, which has been opened to boats, but it has not yet been opened to civilian business. However, Zhou Weiji said that it would be at the end of this month to allow the passage of people and businesses, and Lan Yi's Qingshan Shangji was ready and just waiting for that day to come.

When Zheng saw his son running out, he didn't care about him anymore. "Peach. This year's wheat seems to have ripened much earlier. ”

"Exactly, it's half a month earlier than in previous years, and the second uncle also said that it's not normal, but fortunately, everyone's wheat has been harvested, except for some fields that have been frostbitten, and the other harvests are not bad." Lan Yi said that she didn't know much about the things of the years. But she can see the worries of the second uncle and others, and it seems that in the eyes of the second uncle and others, God is brewing a big disaster.

Jia added: "Our wheat harvest is very good. I've collected a lot of them. Wei Ji took his two children, plus the help of the second uncle's family, and quickly took it back. ”

Listening to Jia's repeated emphasis on Wenxuan and Yu'er's help in collecting grain, Lan Yi wanted to laugh. If it is really the good of the children's own family, in the eyes of the Jia family, these two children, especially Wenxuan, have nothing bad.

In fact, when collecting the wheat, Wenxuan, this kid was purely doing the opposite, and what he did the most was to shout with the press. Yu'er really helped a lot, weeding and feeding ducks on the hillside, leading the donkey to lead the goats to the hillside pen every day, beating pigweed, etc., and he could be half a laborer at a young age.

"There is a bookbox in the carriage, and there are a lot of books in it, and there are several sets of rice paper and brushes for writing large characters, all of which are for Yu'er. The old lady prepared more delicious and fun things for the young master. Zheng drank tea and said, "Tao'er, are all the houses in this house new?" It looks pretty good. ”

Speaking of the new furniture in this room, Lan Yi was very proud, "Mother, these are all made by the craftsmen, not only this courtyard, but also Brother Tuesday's middle courtyard, what do you think, anyway, my daughter looks comfortable." ”

Zheng took her in his arms, patted her on the back, and said with emotion: "Tao'er is old and capable." I created this family business, and my mother was of course happy to see it. ”

Jia nodded: "Sister, Tao'er is shrewd and capable, and her brain is so fast that I can't even catch up with it on a horse." It's just that this female red is really a lot worse, and she is doing rough work every day, and her fingers are getting stiffer and stiffer. ”

The smile on Lan Yi's face froze, she peeked at the Zheng family, and quickly added, "Aunt Yao! You're laughing at me again! Mother, my wedding dress is embroidered, I'll show my mother later, it's beautiful. ”

At this time, laughter came from the courtyard, and Yu'er and Wenxuan woke up. Zheng immediately stood up and took it out, Lan Yi took Wen Xuan's hand, "Yu'er, Wen Xuan, look, grandma and uncle are home, don't call someone soon." ”

Yu'er and Wenxuan dressed up in a decent manner and bowed, "Hello grandma." ”

Zheng put one hand around one and kissed their foreheads, "Okay, good, really good." ”

Yu'er looked left and right curiously, "Grandma, what about the little uncle." ”

"Don't look for it, he ran out early, let's not learn from him." Zheng pulled the two children into the house, took out a colored cardboard box from the luggage and opened it, and one of them grabbed a handful of five-colored sugar cubes for them, "This is honey, take it and eat it." ”

The two happily took it, put it in the satchel, and went out hand in hand to find the little uncle, Jia looked at the sun, and also carried the basket to pick vegetables on the hillside behind the house, Zheng and Lan Yi brought things to visit Liu's mother and daughter who had just given birth.

Sanniuniu is less than a lap, and the two of them fell asleep on the kang head, the doors and windows in the house were closed tightly, and the room was stuffy and smelly, making people dizzy and out of breath.

Liu's mother came to serve her during confinement, and when she saw Lan Yi coming in, she quickly put down the half-made small clothes in her hand and greeted her.

"Auntie, my mother came to see my siblings and children. Mother, this is the mother of the third brother and sister. Lan Yi introduced that Liu's mother-in-law, Zhao, was less than half a hundred, and she looked tricky, and her eyes rolled wildly when she spoke, and Lan Yi didn't like to deal with her.

"Yo! Sister-in-law, you came all the way to see what Da Nizi was doing, she was not angry with her belly, and she gave birth to a girl, and she only couldn't get in and out of the goods. It's a shame that their old Wang family is still precious. Zhao pulled Zheng to sit down and reached out to touch her sleeve because of the hot weather. Zheng Shi just changed into a set of green gauze dresses, which looked very cool, "Sister-in-law, you are different from the city, look at the style of this whole body, tsk!" ”

Lan Yi couldn't stand Zhao like this the most, and Liu was woken up by her. When I turned my head and saw my mother's appearance, my eyes also darkened. Lan Yi saw that Liu Shi was awake and hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother and sister." Feeling better? My mother came to visit you and the child. ”

Liu sat up with his hands propped up, brushing the wet hair on his neck, "Auntie, I'm sorry for you to run." I'm fine with Sanniuniu. When you are out of confinement, you will hold her and look at you. ”

Zheng patted her hand and looked at the child again: "Take care of it at home, if you don't do it well in confinement, you will suffer for the rest of your life." You are a blessed one, this child is strong, and it is easy to feed by looking at it. ”

Lan Yi also stretched her neck to take a look, Sanniu was still the same small look, but the folds on her forehead were gone. I slept soundly.

"Isn't it strong! Da Nizi's mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law brought the soup to her every day, and this child has enough milk! Zhao muttered. The three girls who were lying on the kang with slanted eyes were full of disgust.

Lan Yi ignored her, she has always ignored the people she doesn't want to see.

"Brother and sister, Aunt Yao said that you can't always cover it, it's good to open the doors and windows to ventilate, and you and Sanniuniu should also wipe your body with warm water, so as not to grow prickly heat and feel uncomfortable."

Liu nodded in response, since what Jia said must be reasonable.

"Girl, this is a piece of soft material I brought back, which is just right for making clothes for Sanniuniu; This longevity lock is given to the child for a hundred days with an auspicious picture. Zheng opened the baggage, and inside was a pink ruler and a silver collar, on which hung a small bell and a carved longevity lock. Because she knew that Liu's was born during this time, she had already prepared it, and the Zheng family helped Mrs. Zhou manage the back house, so she naturally knew that if she wanted her daughter to live comfortably here, she must have a good relationship with the people around her, and she couldn't hold her back when she came.

Liu pushed a few times, Zhao's eyes turned around with the silver collar, and he secretly scolded his daughter for being stupid, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the things and put them away for his daughter. Liu's face was very ugly, and Zheng didn't like Zhao's style, but after all, this was in Liu's house, and she couldn't say anything, so she said a few words to Liu and Lan Yi out of Wang Linyuan's courtyard.

Lan Yi took her back to rest, and went to weigh pork, buy fish and shrimp to prepare dinner. Before the unitary time, the bell ringer in the village came, and it was the time to get out of school in the village. Although Yixue is now on holiday for wheat harvesting, the bell is not broken, and the people in the village have long been accustomed to using this bell to calculate the time.

Lan Yi can now distinguish the meaning of the bell, and it is up and down to quickly strike the bell with a hammer; Ringing the bell with a wooden hammer is gathering the villagers, and the sound of the knocking is urgent, and it must be an emergency. The sound of knocking on the wooden fish is the tofu seller; The sound of the wave drum is the arrival of the merchant carrying the burden; Those who sell sesame oil knock iron sheets; Those who sell small things such as sorghum stalks or brooms and baskets made of bamboo branches and wicker can not only understand the sobs in their hands, but also save the small vendors from shouting and disturbing the people.

Lan Yi and Jia Shi cleaned up the two tables of dishes, and now that the weather is hot, there are a lot of cold dishes and vegetarian dishes. Lan Yi made scrambled eggs with big red fruits and cold melons, these two are new vegetables added this year, and the big guys see few of them, and the others are some home-cooked vegetables.

Halfway through the unitary hour, the second uncle and aunt Wang and Lin Xi's family came over with Chunrong, and Lin Yuan also came with the second Niuniu in his arms. Lan Yi lit incense to smoke away mosquitoes, and moved the dining table to the courtyard to set it up, and it was windy and cool in the yard.

Everyone beckoned to sit down to eat, and Yu'er sensibly first sent the basket of meals prepared by her mother to Su Yongshen in the East Courtyard. Zhou Weiji has not come back from entering the city, Lan Yi originally planned to invite Su Yongshen over for dinner, but he pushed it off and said that he would visit another day.

Lan Yi asked the Jia family and the Zheng family to take care of everyone, and sent food to the Liu family and the others by herself. On the way back, he heard Zhou Weiji's horses' hooves, and he came back covered in dust, and the two nodded and said hello before returning home.

The closer the day when the two got married, the more taboos and exquisiteness became, Lan Yi was warned not to talk to Zhou Weiji more, etc., and now meeting is not as natural as before.

The first thing Lan Yi did when he went home was to send Yu'er the food he had prepared for him.

After dinner, the family went back to the house and sat down, and Second Uncle Wang told the Zheng family about Lan Yi's marriage and dowry gifts, and the Zheng family was naturally grateful for their care of their daughter. Although it was the first time they met, she had heard her daughter and husband mention them many times, and she was also grateful.

"Brother and sister, we have few rules in the countryside, and Tao'er's dowry is also purchased by herself. We didn't help much, it's good that you're here, I'm afraid that I've wronged her, and I'm not fully prepared. The second aunt Li said, "The family is busy, and Lin Xi's daughter-in-law began to embroider a hundred quilts during the New Year, and now it is almost ready." We don't have many things to sell, and Lin Xi's daughter-in-law's female popularity is better. ”

Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, we will take your wishes." Tao'er's dowry and her father have almost been purchased, Lin Yuan's daughter-in-law is still sitting in confinement, you also have to work in the field, I have come here, what can I help The second sister-in-law is welcome. ”

After speaking, the Zheng family entered the house and took out the gifts for everyone, fabrics, clothes, food, etc., and asked the Li family to bring them back.

In the evening, Chunrong went to the East Courtyard to rest, and he went to Zhou Weiji to settle accounts without mentioning it. Jia took Yu'er and the two to sleep in the West House, leaving the East House to the mother and daughter.

After Lan Yi boiled water and let Zheng take a bath, he also washed himself, and the two of them got into the tent curtain and hugged each other to talk.

Zheng is very satisfied with this place since entering the village, this Beigou Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, farmland on all sides, Huaxi passes through the village from west to east, and the road out of the village is smooth. Although the house where Lan Yi lives looks old, it is sturdy and neat, the melons and fruits in this yard are fragrant, and there are a few dog barks from time to time, which is quiet and refreshing.

"Peach, it's cool and comfortable this night, much better than ours."

Lan Yi pillowed her head on Zheng's lap and said, "Mother, this village is surrounded by hillsides on three sides, although it is not high, it can also produce some coolness. At night, we all have to cover ourselves with thin quilts, and it will be hot during the day. If it's rainy, it's also wet. ”

"Well, take out your embroidered wedding dress and show it to your mother."

Lan Yi embarrassedly went out, took out the embroidered wedding dress and hijab from the kang cabinet and returned it to Zheng's family, although she embroidered seriously, but this handiwork was several miles away from the spring peach.

Chun Tao's wedding dress is less than half embroidered, and she came here by herself, and it is impossible to take a break from her heart, she doesn't have that skill. This piece is made of the best Qiluo and silk yarn bought in Meixian, Zheng cuts, Jia paints flowers, and only embroidery and sewing are made by herself. Because her embroidery is not good, the simplest pattern selection took more than half a year. Da Zhou's wedding dress is made according to the Tang Dynasty, red men and green women, her clothes are mainly cyan, and embroidered with red threads.

Words outside the text: Thank you for the fading memory 08 of the book friend for the precious monthly ticket. In other words, according to the era in which this book is written, the woman's wedding dress is really blue, and it only turned red in the Ming and Qing dynasties. (To be continued......)
