In the middle of the afternoon, when it was almost dusk, Zou Xiaoxi took Gan Xiaotang out of the yard to take a look, around the yard is scattered vegetable soil, planted with all kinds of vegetables, and then there are still neat paddy fields like tofu blocks, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

"These fields are our family?" Gan Xiaotang asked curiously, obediently, isn't this a big landlord.

Zou Xiaoxi hugged her and turned to the left, "The ones here are all from our family, and they add up to about 100 acres, all of them are Zhongtian." She hugged her again and turned to the right, "Do you see the big maple tree over there, the maple trees are all good fields, it is the land of Zhou Yuanwai's family, there are many lands in his family, and the number of outsiders is uncountable, I heard that there are thousands of tilts." ”

"Is a hundred acres or not?" Gan Xiaotang asked with his fingers. In her opinion, a hundred acres should be a lot.

"No more, no less." Zou Xiaoxiao said with a smile that there are dense houses under the maple trees, like a village, "There are only three tenants in our family, and the tenants of Zhou Yuanwai's family all live in one village." ”

There is a courtyard of blue bricks and black tiles under the big maple tree that Zou Xiaoxi said, which is the outer house of Zhou Yuanwai, at this time there is a green shed carriage parked at the door, Yuan Xinqiao stepped on the stool and came down, she is in her thirties, it is the time when the charm still exists, she is wearing a vermilion embroidered shirt, full of pearls, and she is rich and powerful, fortunately, her skin is white and bright, and she can suppress this flamboyant dress, which makes people look only in awe and not frivolous.

Yuan Xinqiao looked back, a two-year-old man also got out of the carriage, but he didn't let people hug him, only added another horse on the horse bench, and someone helped him to step on the carriage, and when he got off the carriage, he shook off his hand, tidied up the corners of his clothes, and looked up at Yuan Xinqiao.

Yuxue is also cute, but her expression is not as innocent as a child.

Yuan Xinqiao sighed in her heart, but said with a smile on her face, "Brother Yun, let's go under the maple tree, there is a big place here, and there are many people of the same age as you, will my mother let someone come to play with you?" ”

The child who was called Brother Yun only nodded, followed Yuan Xinqiao into the courtyard, and sat quietly after entering the house.

Yuan Xinqiao looked even more worried when she saw it, afraid that the child would think too much, so she went elsewhere. The baby bump she gave birth to in December the year before last, and before the joy landed, this son showed a difference everywhere. The first one doesn't like to cry, except for the fact that he was born and let Wen Po cry a few times, I never heard him cry again, and he hummed when he was hungry and urinated. Second, I don't drink human milk, I don't drink when I die, I don't know the reason for it, the nurse doesn't know how many I changed, my hungry face is blue and I don't open my mouth, and then I guessed if I can't feed it myself, so I let the nurse squeeze it out and feed it with a spoon before drinking, and finally I didn't starve to death. However, five months later, he was asked to meet a nurse milking milk, and then he refused to drink it with a spoon, so he could only boil rice cereal and rice porridge to feed him, but fortunately, he didn't drink much milk and grew well. It's not even two years old, and it looks like a neat child of more than two years old.

The third is to walk fast and not let people hug them. Seven or eight months by himself to hold the things to stand, and then no one to teach him, began to support the things to walk, and after the first birthday, the road has been very good, after that, do not let people hug, go anywhere by themselves, hug him angry. Tiny faces. It's obvious that he is angry, Yuan Xinqiao loves his son, and he doesn't want him to be angry or want him to walk too much, and he is still so young. Fortunately, although Brother Yun doesn't like to be hugged, he can still endure it when she or his father hugs him.

So when her husband was busy and her eldest son was studying, Yuan Xinqiao, who had never carried a heavy object in her life, would pick up her son and leave when she felt that her son had walked enough. The first time I hugged for a long time, my arm was sore at night, and I pinched it for half a night, Chunfang felt sorry for her, but she said that Brother Yu was born only when he was a baby and hugged him for a while, and he grew up in the blink of an eye, and now he is full of hugging Brother Yun although he is tired, I want to hug him more when he is young, and there are not many times when I can be so close in this life.

The fourth is that the behavior is very old-fashioned, many things are not taught, as if they were born to be, there were rumors in the house before that the second young master was reincarnated and drank Meng Po soup, which is still remembered, but Yuan Xinqiao slapped a few people's mouths and stopped this rumor, her son was just born calm, and he was born to be a big man.

Originally, he learned to walk fast, and Zhou Yuanwai thought that his young son was a natural genius, but in a blink of an eye, he was almost two years old, and he didn't speak yet, Zhou Yuanwai began to worry about whether he was a dumb person, so Yuan Xinqiao made a hammer, or Zhou Xingfeng said, "My brother understands in his heart that he doesn't want to speak now, and when he wants to speak, he will naturally speak." ”

Having said that, Brother Yun didn't speak, and Yuan Xinqiao's heart couldn't be at ease. Later, it was suggested that Mrs. take Brother Yun to live in the courtyard of the deep house, and she doesn't see a few peers, Brother Yun has no companions to be like this, and children have a few companions, and they can turn the sky up when they are noisy.

Yuan Xinqiao didn't want to invite the children of relatives to come over to play with Brother Yun, when they saw Brother Yun's strangeness, they would definitely talk nonsense when they went back, and it would be outrageous to talk about it. The housekeeper said that there was a village under the maple tree, and the tenants living nearby were all tenants who rented their own fields, and there were many children, so they would not make a mistake if they were called to play with the second young master.

This is why there is this trip under the maple tree, Yuan Xinqiao pursed his lips in the mirror, and accepted the worried look, only the vigorous and resolute master and mother noodles, "The children to be brought to Brother Yun need to be carefully selected, not too big, not too small, neatly looking, neat and neat, not too naughty, and I don't know if they are clean, they must be carefully combed and cleaned when they are sent to Brother Yun, especially the hair, and you can't bring lice to Brother Yun." ”

"Yes." The steward's lady should go down.

Zou Xiaoxi hugged Gan Xiaotang and turned to the back of the house, raising cattle and pigs in the low house, the cow only has a big cow with a calf, the pig raises five, and there is a fat and strong boar alone, and the boar is pressed to breed, which is also part of the family's income.

There are chickens, ducks and geese in the bamboo cage against the wall, but now they are all playing outside, the cage is empty, and there are chickens lying on the chicken nest, so Zou Xiaoxi waved away, "This chicken is disobedient, kill it tomorrow for the festival." ”

"Chicken." Gan Xiaotang said. "I have it at home."

"There are only 10 chickens in the family, and there are 50 chickens at the most, and there are usually 30 or 40." Zou Xiaoxi said, "The things grown here are all for the family to eat, there are many people in the family, and more than eleven or twelve eggs are consumed every day. ”

"You have to spend money to buy everything when you live in the city, you see there is a small courtyard, there is everything, your father has to come to kill the pig every day, and after killing the pig, he will collect vegetables and eggs here and return to the city, and the tenants will pay the rent of rice, and the rice will not be bought, and in the autumn, your father and Ah Weng will go to the mountains with a few older brothers to cut down trees for two days, and there is no need to buy firewood in winter. We live in the city, but the expenses are the same as in the village, so the extra money will be saved. ”

Zou Xiaoxi didn't know how to meet Gan Xiaotang's eyes, so he told her everything, although he was still a little doll, he also wanted to tell her that although there were many people in the family, his parents planned to be moderate and would not let you suffer.

Gan Xiaotang's eyes lit up when he heard the keyword, "Mountain? ”

"Play."

"Do you want to go to the mountains?" Zou Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "That's not good, the mountain is far away, you still have to be thirty miles from here, you are still young now, wait until you are seven or eight years old, and let your father take you to play when the time comes, okay?" ”

So far? Gan Xiaotang was deflated, according to her experience, this crossing the mountain behind the farmhouse is a treasure, and it is money at will, she lives in the city, and finally got out of the city, this mountain is far away, and the desire to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain is afraid to be disappointed.

Forget it, her parents are capable, she doesn't seem to be too capable, and now she has food, drink and spare money, and she doesn't need her, a baby who is less than two years old, to take on the responsibility of supporting the family. Gan Xiaotang thought, she should be a happy child first.

"Are these from our family, or do they have them from Second Uncle Aweng?" Gan Xiaotang asked again uneasily.
