Zhou Weiji rode home on horseback, and when he saw that the door was locked, he knew that Lan Yi was busy working in the field. He took out the key to open the door, tied the sunspot, changed his clothes and locked the door, turned to the back of the house and looked up.

At a glance, he saw his little wife on the hillside, and Zhou Weiji's eyes were soft.

Lan Yi, who was dressed in a light cyan dress, was more agile than she was dressed in dark clothes because of widowhood before marrying herself. She was the most suitable color for this kind of color, and Zhou Wei quickly quickened his pace and walked towards his hillside.

"Mother, Dad is back!" Wen Xuan, who was playing on the hillside, was the first to see Zhou Weiji, and rushed towards him with a joyful shout.

"Slow down, don't fall!" Lan Yi shouted.

Zhou Weiji stretched out his hands to catch his son and held him in his arms, walked towards Lan Yi, and raised his hand to wave to Dao Wufeng and Zhou Suyi, who were working with shovels not far away.

"I'll be back early today." Lan Yi took off her hat and showed a red smile.

Zhou Weiji put down Wen Xuan, "There is nothing to do in the yamen today, I will come back first, you rest, I will come." ”

Lan Yi nodded, "It's almost over, you just shovel that pile of dung over and spill it into this row of pits." ”

Zhou Wei responded, rolled up his sleeves and picked up the shovel and got up, Wen Xuan followed him, "Dad, when you go back after sprinkling, Dad helps Xuan'er lead the small fire, and Xuan'er rides back, can it be done?" ”

"Done." Zhou Wei responded, "Xuan'er go and see if your mother is thirsty and hungry?" ”

Seeing that his father agreed, Wen Xuan happily ran to Lan Yi, "Mother, do you want to eat snacks?" ”

Lan Yi shook her head, "Mother is not hungry." Just drink some water. Xuan'er is hungry?"

Wen Xuan hurriedly shook his head, "Dad asked Xuan'er to come over and ask if my mother is hungry, and my mother should drink water." ”

Lan Yi looked at Zhou Weiji. Smiling and picking up the jug, after a few sips of water, he got up and picked up his knife and went to the side of the hill to threak grass, the donkeys and ponies and goats could lead the hillside to graze, but there were still two pigs and a flock of chickens waiting to eat.

Soon she filled a basket of grass and put it aside. The autumn breeze shows the grass. The grass in this season has already grown seeds and ears, and it is much heavier than in summer, and the autumn wind will be colder in a few days. The grass will change color, the wood will shed its leaves, and the mountains will be a different scenery. Lan Yi picked a few ears of grass with long grass stalks, and made a puppy for Wen Xuan in a few clicks. Hand it over.

"Xuan'er. You're going to play here, and your mother is going to work with your father?"

"Good!" Wen Xuan was walking around with the little grass dog, and Lan Yi picked up another shovel from the side of the basket, went to Zhou Weiji's side, and worked with him.

"Daughter-in-law, you go and rest, it's almost fine."

Lan Yi shook her head, "Xuan'er woke us up." It didn't take much effort, and the work was all done by Wu Feng and Su Yi. ”

"It's almost done. When are we going to plant the seedlings? ”

"The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, planting peonies pays attention to wet soil and dry planting, let's just take advantage of the wet soil to plant, slow down a few days of seedlings and then water into the winter water to bundle it. When are you free? Lan Yi discussed with Zhou Weiji, "If I don't have time, I can do it, and the third and fourth brothers have said to come over to help." ”

If it was other fields, Lan Yi wouldn't ask like this, but this hillside is different. This hillside carries too many sad memories for him, and Lan Yi wants to erase these sadnesss with him and add color to the two of them.

Although the Yamen and the Xiang Army are busy with the autumn harvest during these days, he can still spare his efforts to "the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay, the day after tomorrow. Uncle Zhao and the second uncle will go and talk to each other, and start to divide the peonies, let's first plant the big plants in the garden, and then plant the peony seedlings raised by the second uncle. Lan Yi continued, "Although our hillside is not small, except for the piece where the donkeys are grazing, I estimate that I can get up early for a while, and I will not rest at noon, and I can bury the seeds in one day." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi finished scattering a pile of dung and walked towards the other pile, "I'll go talk to Uncle Zhao, and I'll also run over there grandpa, but I still have to borrow livestock?" ”

Tuesday Fa has not yet separated the three sons, and they all live with the old couple and the old man Zhou, so there is no need to run two yards to find the third Zhou Weikun and the old Zhou Wei Peng.

"The hillside in the east of the village is not close to here, and the branches of the transplanted large plants are also carried with soil balls, so it is said that it is faster to pull them over by car. Wei Ji, I don't think we need to borrow livestock, this little live donkey can do it, but we have to borrow a car, who do you say is better to borrow? ”

If it was good to use Second Uncle Wang's family directly before marrying him, now that the two are married, Lan Yi will appropriately distance herself from her "ex-husband's" family, and then work like before without distinguishing between you and me, which is not good to say.

"When I go to my grandfather's house, I ask if the second uncle will use the ox cart the day after tomorrow, and if they are useful, we will borrow someone else's."

"Okay." Lan Yi nodded, "Let's go home first, don't go empty-handed when you go to grandpa's place, pass by Zhou Lao's butcher's shop, weigh two catties of meat." It's time for the Chung Yeung Festival in two days, and we'll send the winter clothes I made for my grandfather when the time comes. ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, "Daughter-in-law, you are still thoughtful." ”

Lan Yi glanced at him and smiled.

Although Zhou Yue'e once talked to Lan Yi about catching up with the imperial court to recruit Zhou Weiji's father shortly after Zhou Weiji's father died on Wednesday, Old Man Zhou and Uncle Zhou did not pay for him, and Zhou Weiji had no money to close the door to apply for recruitment alone, and they had a lot of trouble with Old Man Zhou and Uncle Zhou, but after Lan Yi entered the door, what he should do was not bad at all.

Moreover, it was not entirely to blame the old man of the Zhou family and the two families on Tuesday and Thursday, Zhou Weiji was originally stubborn, and after Zhao Lizheng rang the bell and said this, he wanted to go.

Although the imperial court recruited chengding, that is, adult men over the age of 20 in each household. However, in order to facilitate the specific operation, all counties are levied on a household-by-household basis, except for women, each household must be paid. If the son is not old enough, he will give out the silver if he doesn't want to go!

Zhao Lizheng knew the situation of Zhou Weiji's family, and had discussed with Old Man Zhou to go to the yamen to eliminate the main household sent on Wednesday, and include Zhou Weiji in the household sent on Tuesday or Thursday. Before I could do it, the documents recruited by the imperial court arrived, and there was a lot of silver, and the old man Zhou knew that Zhou Wei couldn't get out, and he was calculating how to make up the money for each family, and his stubborn grandson left with his backpack.

Later, Zhou Yue'e ran back and cried and scolded, the old man Zhou is the patriarch of the Zhou family, and this time he was at a loss, and he was scolded by his granddaughter like this, and he was angry and ashamed.

After Zhou Weiji came back, Zhou Weiji and Zhao Lizheng both told him that Zhou Weiji had matured a lot outside over the years, and took the initiative to admit his mistake to the old man. The old man was already very happy to see his grandson come back alive, and he would scold him for what happened ten years ago.

Besides, he also knows what temper this second grandson has, and it is not easy to make him bow his head.

However, for Zhou Yue'e, Old Man Zhou has not given a good face over the years. Zhou Yue's temper is a little more limited than Zhou Weiji's, no matter what she says, as long as she thinks of her thirteen-year-old brother running thousands of miles away alone, she will be uncomfortable, and she doesn't want to see Old Man Zhou's cold face!

My brother can come back alive, because of his fate, and because his father and mother are blessed by God, and they have nothing to do with a copper plate!

After Lan Yi knew the inside story, she never persuaded her, because if she was Zhou Yue'e, she would do the same. (To be continued.) )
