Halfway through the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn harvest in the village is also coming to an end. On the whole, this year is a good harvest, and the imperial court has not increased the rent tax, so how can the family not be happy when they look at the winter grain that will be put into the warehouse, because recently the people in the village are beaming, and the children are even more happy. Because the adults are happy, it doesn't matter if the little ones are naughty, and they can even ask for a few copper plates to buy some snacks, which is as happy as the New Year's Festival.

Second Uncle Wang's family is naturally no exception. Uncle Wang has been in a very good mood recently, and his laughter has been much louder, and when he is tired of being busy in the field, he will go to the ox cart to greet a few old guys from the same village to smoke a dry tobacco and talk about the harvest, and even the old children have added a little "childlike fun" to help Dafu, Yu'er and other children catch grasshoppers.

The grasshopper after the autumn is head and foot, with great strength on its hind legs and strong bouncing power. I saw Second Uncle Wang take off the thick-soled cloth shoe on his left foot, slowly approached the grasshopper, and jerked the shoe over, and then there was a cheer from the children. Second Uncle Wang happily grabbed the grasshopper and skewered it with grass, which was called a pride.

Jia Shi looked at this scene dumbfounded, "I didn't expect his second uncle to have these two times!" What is this grasshopper caught for? ”

Lan Yi casually picked up a grass stalk, put it in her mouth and chewed it leisurely, savoring the strong autumn flavor, "Oh, eat." If you catch too much, you can fry it and eat it, and it is said that it tastes good, especially the grasshopper legs, which are very chewy. ”

Jia's eyebrows twisted slightly, "This can also be eaten, have you eaten Peaches?" ”

"No, I've seen others eat it." She didn't have the courage to taste it, "Aunt Yao might as well go to the second uncle's house tonight to taste it, the grass string in Dafu's hand is enough to share." ”

Lan Yi was joking. Jia Shi nodded thoughtfully, "I haven't talked to my second sister-in-law for a few days, so it's not bad to go today." Try it by the way. ”

"Ahem......" Lan Yi choked on the grass stalk in her mouth and coughed.

Jia Shi laughed, the already very colorful color added a little vitality, and the men in the villages next to him were stunned.

Su Yongshen walked slowly, looking at Jia's cheerful smile and lightening a little. The volunteer school in the village has a fall vacation, and his body is not bad this year, so he has been in a good mood recently. I often visit my own land. After Zhou Weiji helped him buy three acres of land for him to settle in Beigou Village, although the field was rented to the villagers to plant, Su Yongshen would also go to take a look. Or pull a few weeds in the field, or chat with the villagers. This year's rice harvest in those three acres of land was good, and seeing that he would receive the rent for the first time, he was full of satisfaction and joy.

"Big brother." Lan Yi's eyes swept to Jia Shi and lowered his head a little embarrassed. He beckoned, "It's a good day, remember to take out the futon to dry." ”

"Well, Wu Feng said the same thing in the morning, I guess it's already in the yard at this time."

Lan Yi twitched the corners of her mouth, and the elusive, dark-faced Dao Wufeng became more and more like a family man......

"I'll go and see and give the kids some water, it's dry and easy to get angry." Jia walked away quickly. Lan Yi slowly walked towards the peony garden in the east of the village.

Last month, the peony seeds in the peony garden had been picked and shipped to Qingshan Oil Mill, and now there is no work in the Dan Garden. Zhao Shangjing's family also helped the people in the village to work on the autumn harvest, because the garden was very quiet.

In the warm sun, Lan Yi shuttled among the peonies that were more than half a person tall, thinking about the response to the impact on Qingshan Oil Mill this year due to the sudden increase in peony seed production in various parts of Dazhou and the impact that various oil mills began to squeeze peony seed oil.

"Brother and sister, I know you're here!"

Lan Yi turned around and smiled. I saw the eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law holding their stomachs exaggeratedly, and the second girl of her family was helping her to walk up the hill carefully.

"Second sister-in-law, your belly is really long, this little guy is so strong." Lan Yi stepped forward quickly and helped her to carefully reach the wooden pier next to her.

The eighth wife and two sisters-in-law have been pregnant for five months and are beginning to show their pregnancy. However, it is not obvious that she is fat because of her belly, but everyone likes to praise her for her big belly and looking like a boy, which is also the favorite words of the eighth wife and the second sister-in-law. After all, she only has two daughters, and what she needs most now is a son who can be passed on to the whole family of Tuesday.

The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and their smiles were full of love and a little worry about being a mother, "I was thinking that if I met one of our girls, please ask her to give me the number pulse, this child has been more than five months, and it is supposed to be time to stretch his arms and legs." When I was pregnant with Ernizi, I was tossing and turning this month. ”

Eight-year-old Ernimazi stood next to her, boredom kicking the stones, looking at the children playing in the rice field in the distance, her eyes full of envy.

"Aunt Yao went to Dafu and his grandmother, and the second sister-in-law sat here to rest for a while. This child is moving, late, moving, and early. Lan Yi couldn't help but faintly worry, she was looking forward to giving birth to a son, but how could this birth be so easy to control.

The last time Jia gave her a pulse, she said that seventy percent of this baby was a male baby, and Jia was quite famous among the women in the village because of the smooth delivery of Wu Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhao Lizheng, who was sentenced to death by Wen Po, and even the pregnant women in other villages or the women who were sick who did not look for men were also famous for looking for her.

Jia's medical skills are good and kind, and he has accumulated a good reputation after coming and going. Although she only prescribes prescriptions or acupuncture, and does not give medicine, these people still leave a consultation fee. At the beginning, the Jia family wanted to give the money to Lan Yi, although Lan Yi called her aunt, but in terms of identity, she was Lan Yi's slave, and her deed of sale was given to Lan Yi.

Lan Yi naturally won't accept it, after this period of investigation, she can also see that the Jia family is very credible, and she is ten out of ten thoughts about her and Wen Xuan, and she feels that she will go to the yamen to help her get out of the household and truly become a family.

"Brother and sister, what do you want?" Seeing that Lan Yi was fascinated, the eighth wife and the second sister-in-law asked curiously, not changing the true nature of the gossip.

Lan Yi smiled embarrassedly, "It's nothing. ”

"Mother, I want to go to the field to play with Xiaohua Xiaocao and them......" Er Nizi looked at a few friends running crazy in the field, her eyes were full of envy, "I heard that Xiaocao and their mother bought them new flowers, I will go and see how much it is, if it is suitable, my mother will also buy me and my sister two ......"

Lan Yi smiled, this little girl is really a bit of an eighth wife and two sisters-in-law, and the personality of the shy twin sisters of Sister-in-law Niu's family is very different.

"Go, go, ask clearly, my mother will buy it for you!" The eight mothers and two sisters-in-law also treat their two daughters very well, so they naturally don't stop them, "Come back after playing, don't run away." ”

The people in the village are simple, although most of them like their sons, but they treat their daughters well, as the saying goes, daughters are mother's close-fitting little padded jackets, and daughters' intimacy is naturally not comparable to sons.

The eighth wife and the second sister-in-law looked at the peony with lush branches in the garden, "Brother and sister, this year's peony harvest is good." I heard the gardener's daughter-in-law say that you have collected more than 5,500 catties of this piece, tsk, it is much better than planting rice. It's all with your younger siblings, and Li Zheng and a few of us have also received some this year, although it's not much, but it's not worth it! Twenty-five wen a catty, his father said that this year's rice is only six wen a catty. ”

Lan Yi nodded, "I finally didn't let the big guy work in vain." ”

The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law were happy, and they became worried again, "The price of this flower seed has gone up, but the price of oil has come down, brother and sister, I am not embarrassed to ask Lin Yuan's family, Lin Xi and Lin Yuan are not both working in the oil mill, I heard that there has been no shortage of money in the past two years, and I don't know if people will need to do this this year."
