Every day, when Qi Huan came back from the military camp in the east and west places, he would go to the col to cut vegetables, pick apples from the apple tree, fill the apple basket, and then collect the medicinal herbs under the apple tree.

Seeing that the vegetables in the half-acre vegetable field in the backyard of the Qi family were growing again, Sheng Jiaojiao deliberately reduced the watering of the vegetable fields in the soil col.

In this way, gradually, the growth rate of vegetables in the col slowed down until it was on par with the growth rate of the half acre of vegetable land in his backyard.

With the normal growth rate of side dishes, it is definitely impossible to supply the east and west barracks, but fortunately, Sheng Jiaojiao is now mainly selling medicinal materials to the barracks, and selling side dishes is just by the way.

Selling apples was something I had never thought of before.

Now if the Qi family wants to eat apples, they go to the basket that Qi Hua brought back to get it, they take an apple in the east and an apple in the west, and they hold it, and they don't pay attention to whether there are fewer apples in the basket.

Let Niu Ju sell apples, Sheng Jiaojiao just had the mentality of trying it, she knew that Niu Ju's heart was a little bitter, needless to say, under the instigation of Sheng Jiaojiao's few words, Niu Ju urgently needed to do something to prove herself.

After Niu Ju left, it was time for the children to come to school.

Throughout the morning, Sheng Jiaojiao's footsteps did not stop.

The children were very curious about the trees piled up in the yard, and they chattered around the trees as if they were watching some monkey trick.

Sheng Jiaojiao held a stack of straw paper that Qi Erniang had just dried in her hand, standing under the eaves of the stove room and looking over, the children in the yard were scattered into a mess, as if there was no classroom discipline to talk about.

No, there are still some children, the child named Lotus Heart, sitting on the feast he brought with him, holding a sharp stone in his hand, writing and drawing on the yellow earth.

This little girl is a good reading seedling.

Sheng Jiaojiao walked over with straw paper, and the children who came to enlighten the yard immediately withdrew from the side of the trees, took their own feasts in an orderly manner, and sat in their respective positions.

There was a chair in the courtyard, a small table, and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were placed on the small table.

She sorted out some of the stacks of straw paper in her hand, sat down slowly in her chair, and said to the children below:

"Just now I saw that you are loosely disciplined, everyone rushes to the first place when you see the excitement, and there are not many people waiting for me to come."

Saying that, Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes fell on Lianxin's body, and the little girl knew that Sheng Jiaojiao was praising her, so she immediately said that her back was straight, and she tried to perform better in front of Sheng Jiaojiao.

The rest of the children were silent.

"Lianxin, come here."

Sheng Jiaojiao beckoned, asked Lianxin to come forward, took the homework assigned to her yesterday, gave her a few pieces of yellow papyrus, and said kindly:

"This is a reward for you, you really worked hard when you went back."

"Thank you, sir."

Lianxin took the straw paper with both hands, and the smile on her face was very bright.

The rest of the children saw the papyrus in Lianxin's hand, and they all showed envy, this is a reward from the husband.

In a place like Zhishou County, not to mention rice paper, it is straw paper, ordinary people are reluctant to buy it, and now in Sheng Jiaojiao's enlightenment school, not only did they send brushes, but also rewarded Lianxin with a stack of straw paper.

They also wanted the papyrus that Mr. had rewarded

Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at the serious and eager little faces of the children, reluctantly suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth, and began the formal teaching.

In the next initiation class, the children's performance was obviously much more serious than in any previous class.

There were also a few sneaky tilts of their heads, and their eyes kept looking at the stacked trees in the yard, but they still couldn't resist their curiosity, and they wanted to know what these trees would look like if they were planted.

After the Enlightenment School, Sheng Jiaojiao made a special trip to keep these inattentive children.

At noon, Miss Qi came out of Mrs. Qi's room and prepared to go to the stove room to cook.

I saw Sheng Jiaojiao sitting on a chair in the courtyard, sitting in a graceful and dignified posture.

The wind blew the corners of her skirt, Sheng Jiaojiao asked the child in front of her who bowed her head and lowered her eyes, standing in a proper manner,

"What were you thinking when you were teaching, sir?"

The child in front of him didn't dare to speak, his little face was flushed, and he met Sheng Jiaojiao's gentle gaze, but it seemed to make him more uncomfortable than his father and aunt beating him with a stick.

The other inattentive children felt the same way.

Don't look at Sheng Jiaojiao's gentle voice, her speech is even a little slow, but she speaks clearly, her eyes are gentle, and there is a sense of majesty, which makes the hearts of those children feel like Ling Chi.

One of the children timidly lowered his head and whispered:

"I want to see what those trees will look like when they are planted."

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the other children and asked:

"You think the same way?"

Several children nodded their heads.

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the chair, smiled slowly, and she said unhurriedly:

"Since your father and aunt sent you to me, I can't help but be responsible for you, and if you don't pay attention in my class, you must be punished."

Then he pointed to the hoes piled up in the yard,

"Since you want to know so much what the tree will look like when it is planted, then go and dig the pit, and while digging the pit, you can memorize the book I taught today."

After speaking, Sheng Jiaojiao got up and walked to her room.

The children behind her who were not paying attention looked at each other, and finally could only honestly pick up the hoe and start digging in the courtyard of the Qi family.

Doing this kind of work, for the sons and daughters of Zhishou County, there is no difficulty at all, it is rare to have a loud endorsement while digging pits, these are all in class, I haven't heard it well at all.

So in the courtyard of the Qi family, in addition to the sound of "Bangbangbang" hoes digging the ground, there were also a few stumbling endorsements.

What happened in the courtyard of the Qi family quickly returned to the homes of these children, and the children's fathers scolded angrily,

"Such a good opportunity, Jiao Niang is willing to teach them if she doesn't restrain her, these incarnated children are not serious about learning, should! Let them dig pits and plant trees, and plant all the trees of the Qi family, and if they don't finish planting trees, don't come back today! ”

The rest of the silent fathers and mothers basically mean the same, it is not good to have a free enlightenment school, what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Jiao Niang is such a smart person, she is willing to bother to teach, and her own children are still unwilling to learn seriously, she simply doesn't know what to do.

So until the afternoon, these children who were working hard to plant trees in the yard of the Qi family were still digging pits and endorsing.

None of the adults in the family came to pick them up.

This was done until Qi Huan drove the mules and dragged the carts back from the barracks.

After entering the village, the people I met along the way were all smiling at Qi Huan.

Someone else asked:

"Shiro, where did you come from?"

Qi Hua pointed to his empty cart covered with black cloth, not knowing what to say, looking honest and simple.

Someone else smiled and said:

"Your family is really going to make a fortune this time, and you have bought so many trees to come back, is this going to build a house, or how to drop?"

When Qi Huan went out in the morning, his family explained to him, saying that a batch of trees would come today and that he would plant them when he got home.

So he deliberately sped up the speed of the mule today, and wanted to go home early to help plant the trees.

At this time, presumably his father, Uncle Qi, and Second Uncle Qi should have rolled up their sleeves and dug a pit in the yard.

So Qi Huan honestly answered the questioner,

"Our family is going to plant trees, my third sister said, I want to plant a forest, and I look good."

"Tsk."

The people who heard this made a voice of envy, the Qi family is now completely hairy, there is a capable man in the family, Erlang is doing business outside, Jiao Niang is running an enlightenment school at home, and the four guys seem to be strong and capable.

The days of the family are thriving at a visible speed.

Soon, Qi Hua dragged the empty cart to the outside of Qi's yard, and he first looked into the yard, which was close to the edge of the fence, and several pits had been dug.

Sheng Jiaojiao was still in her room at this time, and when she heard that Miss Qi came to report that each child had dug a pit, she asked Mrs. Qi to give each of these children two apples and let the children go home.

When Qi Hua arrived home, he happened to see several sweaty children walking out of the Qi family's yard with two apples in their hands.

Looking at the two apples in the hands of the children, a few curious villagers gathered outside the courtyard of the Qi family again.

Someone whispered in the crowd:

"Did you hear that? The one who sent the tree to the Qi family today is also the person who gathers the noble family. ”

"I heard that the people who came to Qi's house to give gifts a few days ago are still the staff members of the nobles' homes."

"Really? Didn't you say that the tree was bought? ”

"This business and business, friendship comes from buying and selling, look at it, in the future, this Qi family, maybe there will be a golden phoenix flying out."

The person who said this also deliberately glanced at Sheng Jiaojiao's house.

The people who heard this understood that Sheng Jiaojiao grew like that, ordinary people didn't dare to accept it, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to keep it, but if it was a noble family on the set.

It seems to be born to be Sheng Jiaojiao's place.

When Qi Huan heard this, his little face sank.

He went around in a circle, parked the cart on the earthen col, took two money bags brought out from the east and west military camps, entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room, and put the money bags on the small table, with a unhappy face.

Sheng Jiaojiao was sitting cross-legged on the kang, translating books for Tan Ji, and when she saw this, she asked:

"What's wrong with you?"

"The people outside said that Sister Ah is the golden phoenix who is going to fly out."

Qi Huan clenched his small fists angrily and punched a few times into the air,

"I want to tear their mouths apart."

But this folk, if he really dares to do this, Daddy will be the first to kill him.

Sheng Jiaojiao listened to it funny, and the pen in her hand did not stop, and said:

"It's not a bad thing to say that people are golden phoenixes, why are you so angry?"

"But I don't want Sister Ah to leave home, last year, Sister Dahua of our village married in Huangshi Village, and I heard that she was beaten and bruised, and her husband's family didn't take her back."

As she spoke, Qi Huan seemed to see Sheng Jiaojiao also being beaten by her future husband's family, and she was so angry that she cried.

Seeing his tears falling one by one, Sheng Jiaojiao sighed, she put down the brush in her hand, reached over the small table, pinched Qi Hua's little face, and sighed:

"You, what are you thinking about all day long in this little head, if your sister can get married, she would have married a long time ago, can you wait until now? Hurry up and count, how much money did we make today? ”

What is her own situation, she herself knows best, in her previous life, until she married Yin Ze, no one came to propose to her. Isn't it because she was raised too squeamishly by the Qi family, and no one dared to marry her home.

Speaking of the silver money earned today, Qi Huan, this kid, came to the spirit again, he quickly opened the two money bags on the small table, poured the copper coins inside, and said:

"In the past few days, I have been sending medicinal herbs and side dishes to the camp of Brother Halberd and Big Brother, sometimes they will come out to pick me up, sometimes not, some military masters are very surprised to see me pull such a big cart of medicinal materials and vegetables to sell in the barracks every day, and ask me where I got so many small vegetables and herbs, I said, the pharmacist bought some from the pharmacist, the merchant bought some, cut some in the field, and the villagers collected some more, and planted some at home."

These words were taught to Qi Huan by Sheng Jiaojiao in advance, and she had told Qi Huan many times over and over again.

Because the col at home is a good field, it seems that God has given some miracles, so there are a lot of tender and delicious side dishes, but if others know about this matter, they will come to rob their family's good land.

Therefore, if you can cover it up, you should try to cover it up as much as possible.

Sheng Jiaojiao expected that Qi Sanniang's medicinal field had been sorted out, and on the day it came out, Qi San's uncle came to help, sowed the medicinal herb seeds, and carefully sprinkled the fertilizer.

Because the "fertilizer essence dew" given by Sheng Jiaojiao is mixed with manure water, it also has some effect on the growth of crops, so after a few days have passed, the medicinal materials in the medicine field have already sent out tender shoots.

But it doesn't feel particularly obtrusive.

The overall growth rate is still controlled within an acceptable range for ordinary people.

So Sheng Jiaojiao taught Qi Huan to say that it was not wrong, but it was not cut in his own field, but he said it in advance.

When the herbs grow, no one will doubt her.

Qi Huan is now relying on his own strength, and he can't finish cutting the lush vegetables in the col every day, and he still has to spend time reading, practicing calligraphy, practicing swords, picking apples, and delivering vegetables and medicine to the military camp.

So how fast these side dishes grow, Qi Hua didn't calculate at all.

He only knew that he went to the col every day to cut the side vegetables, and he never finished cutting that piece of side vegetables every day.

No, although the pits in the yard were dug by the children of the Enlightenment School, the pits they dug were not deep enough, and after Qi Hua went to Sister A to pay the account, he had to dig the pits in the yard deeper.
