Later, Zhao Shangjing and others also came to the hillside to plant peonies together.

"Uncle Zhao, I didn't expect the light branch to be half full. I thought it would be a lot to plant four or five rows. Lan Yi smiled.

Zhao Shangjing explained, "The peony has roots, and the peony on the hillside is full of fertilizer, watered thoroughly, and the soil is good, so it grows strong." But this year's division, I'm afraid next year won't be much. ”

"Well, we won't have any hillsides to plant next year." After Lan Yi planted this hillside, she didn't plan to plant peonies on the hillside anymore, after all, it took effort to manage the peonies, and no matter how much she relied on Zhao Shangjing's family, she couldn't manage it.

Zhao Shang nodded, looked at Second Uncle Wang and Old Man Zhou who were smoking and chatting at the bottom of the hillside, and looked at the busy people in the distance, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, there are a few old guys I knew before in the county today, all of whom raise flowers." Look at the peonies on our hillside are smeared white and ask me what I am, I said it is a new medicine, specializing in the treatment of rotten branches and insects, they want to buy some back, you see? ”

This method of boiling white medicine to prevent insects and treat rot was taught to him by Lan Yi, although Lan Yi said that he should look at it, but in Zhao Shangjing's concept, this is Lan Yi's exclusive formula, and he can't let others learn it.

Lan Yi understood his thoughts, and said sincerely, "Uncle Zhao, I've heard about this medicine before, but we don't use it much here." I didn't figure out the formula, you can look at this matter, no matter how you sell it, you will listen to you, and you will be counted as much money as you collect. ”

"That's not possible, Sister-in-law Tuesday, there is no such rule." Zhao Shangjing stubbornly refused.

Lan Yi smiled, "Uncle Zhao." The rules are not set by people, and besides, they are really not my prescription, are they? Okay, let's just order it. But you know more than I do. There is a lot of lime in this medicine, and it can be used once or twice a year, and if you use it too much, you are afraid of burning the roots. ”

Zhao Shangjing wanted to say something, but Lan Yi stopped him, "Uncle Zhao, this freshly planted peony, tie the straw or water it first?" ”

Zhao Shangjing saw this. He answered, "Let's tie up the straw first." Second Brother Wang said that don't look at the two days of good weather, maybe it will rain in a few days. ”

And the rain? Lan Yi looked at the clear sky. Some worried.

"It's also done, and then tie it here after tying up the east slope."

More than a dozen people were eight acres of hillsides, and before the sun set, they were busy clearing their work, and Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi sent everyone away. Stay on the hillside and clean up the aftermath.

Rows of peonies are planted. The originally bare hillside changed its appearance and looked vibrant, Lan Yi raised her sleeve to wipe her forehead and smiled.

Zhou Weiji patted the soil on the ridge with the back of a shovel, and looked at Lan Yi distressedly, "Daughter-in-law, you go to the donkey cart and sit down and rest for a while, I'll come." ”

Lan Yi shook her head. "I'm not tired."

Zhou Weiji was very persistent, put down the shovel and took her hand down the hillside. Wipe the soil off the donkey cart with grass and "sit here and wait for me." ”

Lan Yi grabbed him, "Don't shoot the ridges, everyone is working carefully, let's plug the little leakage when watering the ground." You also sit down and rest for a while. ”

Zhou Weiji looked at her little hand holding his sleeve, nodded and sat down next to her. Then the two of them looked up together and quietly looked at the hillside.

The mountain breeze drunk the songbirds, and the sunset softened the evening sky. Xu is such a scene is too beautiful, Zhou Weiji felt that he couldn't see enough of it, he stretched out his arm and hugged Lan Yi.

Lan Yi leaned on her shoulder, Zhou Weiji's calmness infected her, this day's hard work and hard work were just for this moment.

"When my father bought this hillside, he was very happy, he took me over, pointed to the hillside and said, wait until the autumn is cleaned up and plant rapeseed, and the next year there will be a hillside of golden rape flowers, which are more beautiful than gold." Zhou Weiji said slowly, "In the years when my father just died, I dreamed several times that he was standing here, looking at the rape flowers on a hillside and smiling, I have never seen him smile so happily. ”

Lan Yi's nose was sour, and she rubbed his shoulder with her side face, listening quietly.

"Later, I rarely dreamed of my father, but I still dreamed of this hillside, either the golden rape flowers that I couldn't open my eyes, or the weeds and snakes on a barren slope. The more I like it, the more I don't like it, and I don't want to come here even if I come back to herd the horses. ”

Zhou Wei rarely expressed his emotions like this, Lan Yi replied lightly, his sad tone made her want to do something, but she didn't know what to do.

Zhou Weiji still looked at the hillside, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Now that this hillside has been cleaned up, it will not be full of golden rape flowers, but it will be full of white flowers and peonies, which are bigger and more beautiful." ”

"The rape flowers are also very beautiful! Wei Ji, tomorrow I will go to find rapeseed, plant it on the hillside, and next spring it will be full of rape flowers. Lan Yi whispered that she wanted to make the hillside bloom with rape flowers right away.

"Silly girl!" Zhou Weiji hugged her tightly, "Whether it's rape flowers or peony flowers, it's all the same." ”

"Hmm." Lan Yi pointed to the southeast hillside, "You often herd your horses there, I've seen you sitting on that high stone several times." ”

"You see?" He wasn't always there, but once he sat on the big rock and found Lan Yi in the field, so he chose to herd the horses there.

"Can't you see, such a tall lone stone, and you are so big!" Lan Yi smiled, "Is the grass good there?" Why don't we go and ask Uncle Weiyang, if there is someone on that hillside, if not, we can buy it and put the horses? ”

Zhou Weiji smiled, "No need, sunspots can't eat much grass." ”

The horses were kept there because they could see her, and now that she was in her arms, she didn't have to look far away. Zhou Weiji tilted his head and kissed her forehead, cherishing the abnormality.

"When my father opened up the wasteland, he also said that after clearing the wasteland, he planted rapeseed after planting rape for two years, and when the rape field was ripe, he would plant millet seeds, save money to build a house, and marry my daughter-in-law." At that time, my father definitely didn't expect that he could marry such a good daughter-in-law.

Lan Yi looked up and looked at the bridge of his high nose, "Oh? I don't know what Brother Tuesday thought at the time, which girl's daughter did he fall in love with? ”

"Hehe," Zhou Weiji's mellow laughter was accompanied by shaking shoulders, "I was still young at the time, and I was annoyed when I heard this, and I thought it was good for me and my father to live well, but women were too nagging." ”

Although he didn't have a mother, but when the eldest sister didn't get married, she nagged him that he couldn't do this, couldn't do that, scolded for breaking his clothes, scolded for broken shoes, and was annoyed.

"Hmph, I don't think women are nagging, so why are you in a hurry to build a house and marry me!"

Zhou Weiji smiled, "You are different. ”

Before Lan Yi accepted him, he listened to Lan Yi talking to the two children through the wall, and never knew that there was a mother like this. He likes her voice, whether it's angry, happy, or caring, he likes it, and being able to stand in front of her and be nagged by her is what he wants.

Lan Yi deliberately tugged at his clothes fiercely, "Okay, if you hate me for nagging in the future, see how I clean you up." Alright, hurry up and pack your things and put on the donkey, let's go home! Didn't you promise Yu'er to pick him up at the inn? Wen Xuan is still at the second uncle's house, and he has to take it back. ”

"Okay, nagging mother-in-law, what else?" Zhou Weiji asked with a smile.

Lan Yi deliberately glared at him, "Don't put on the donkey cart yet, I'll mow the grass!"

Zhou Weiji shook his head, "No, you sit here, I'll mow the grass, I'll lead the sheep, I'll go set the donkey cart, and then take your nagging mother-in-law home." ”

Lan Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, it's all up to you, don't go quickly!" ”

Zhou Wei laughed greatly, turned around and started to work.

Lan Yi sat in the car and watched his brisk movements, listening to his cheerful tune, and couldn't help but hum softly.

Then, Lan Yi sat in the car like this, and Zhou Weiji drove the donkey cart, took the key to open the door of the house, and took her home. (To be continued.) )
