Because Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting), Steward Liu, and Jifu, everyone ran all the way to Ji Xiulan's house to avoid trouble, and lived a temporary and stable paradise life, and was idle and undisturbed.

On the imperial court, because Qiu Tianji did not catch Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) and other relevant bloodline personnel in Jifu, they blocked the city for several days and finally returned in vain.

Following

noon

Jijia Courtyard

The field needs to be sown, but also needs to moisten the soil, Ji Xiulan holds the plow, and the lower end of the plow is the soil part.

Observe that he first inserts the pointed tip into the soil, then steps on the beam to make the stick deep into the soil, and then turns it out in one go, and repeats.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) didn't know when he also came to the countryside, Ji Xiulan was working hard, and the soil in the field was turned over by the plows in his hands.

When there are no seeds to sow seeds, the field is like an uncultivated wilderness, looking at the bare and unappreciated beauty at all, Ji Xiulan took a handful of vegetable seeds from her clothes, waved them into the field, and the seeds fell into the soil.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) watched Ji Xiulan farming in the field silently, Ji Xiulan didn't notice Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) standing on the periphery of the field, and only the field that could feed herself in her eyes was the one that could feed herself.

He did not hesitate to take the initiative to roll up his sleeves, squatting to correct the seeds that fell into the soil, although the field is only a few acres, he has not tried to farm life, and Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting), who is pampered in a big city, does not understand the hardships of farming.

The sun was scorching overhead, the sun in the sky was emitting infinite heat, the seeds sown in the earth were directly exposed to the midday sun, and Ji Xiulan wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead with the back of her hand.

Ji Xiulan practiced herself, and alone to charter all the work in the field, holding a plow to go to the wellhead to fetch a scoop of water to water the soil, and when she turned around, she saw Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) standing outside the field.

Ji Xiulan put down the farm tools in her hand, Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) was beside her, Ji Xiulan didn't know when Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) followed her to the field and asked.

"You don't rest in the house, the work in the fields is something that your little daughter who lives in the house can't understand, when did you come over?"

"Uncle, I felt that I had been in the house for a long time and came out to relax, and I happened to see you plowing in the fields and came to take a look, which was really driven by curiosity."

"You're interested in farming?" , Ji Xiulan looked at Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting), who was full of unheard of farming, and didn't even know what it meant, and said: "Men farm, women raise silkworms, and their lives and rest are regular, this is the pastoral life." ”

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) pointed to the field that had just been sown, and couldn't help but ask what was sown in the field.

"Naturally, I know how to grow fruits and vegetables in the field, but my uncle doesn't know what he grows every day."

Ji Xiulan knew that Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting), as a woman, didn't know much about farming, so she said jokingly

"I don't see much planted in this field, but I sow all the seeds of the four seasons of the year, and the soil is planted with millet (millet), which can be eaten at the time of the autumn harvest."

"But now it's spring, if you want to eat fresh millet, do you have to wait until the autumn harvest, and you can harvest the millet in summer when it's ripe." : Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) asked suspiciously

Ji Xiulan waved her hand and pointed to the sown soil to answer Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) about the harvest of millet (稷), and also informed Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) of its best ripening season.

"Millet is also called millet is the main grain of our farming, and the world respects the god of five grains as rice, millet, millet, wheat, and soybean." Ji Xiulan then continued to talk about sowing seeds to Cheng Yuxi, he still has more than enough understanding of this aspect, "The harvest season of millet is to see whether its ears of wheat are golden and the grains are full, and then take out the edible part of the millet and crush it with a grinding disc and make nest heads or steamed cakes to eat." ”

Hearing Ji Xiulan tell herself in detail about the role of farming grains, she nodded obediently and looked at Ji Xiulan who had been talking.

Ji Xiulan is the best of both worlds for farming, which can solve the problem of food and clothing and exercise the body, so she will always sow seeds in spring and go back and forth between the autumn harvest without pressing it.

Ji Xiulan touched her beard and looked at Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) in front of her, thinking that she was going to the well to fetch water to irrigate the land, although there was also a helper not far from her, so she told her to go to her own well to fetch water.

"Anyway, Uncle sees that you are young and vigorous, and you are idle and bored and have nothing to do, so can you go to the wellhead to bring some water to water the soil."

"No problem." Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) replied briskly.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) nodded in agreement, and then she turned around and left in front of Ji Xiulan, she jumped out of the field, shaking her little head and melon seeds stunned again and again, very playful.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) came to the well, she looked at a bucket made of wooden oak trees next to the well, and she only felt that the height difference blocked her feet.

Holding the bucket handle in both hands, she looked at the muddy road ahead with her eyes step by step, and came to the well to put the bucket down.

The Jijia courtyard is equivalent to the well used by the people in the village, which is an old-fashioned water well and a water pump to pump water.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) thought of the scene of watching a costume drama and drawing water in the well, she hung the bucket handle on the water pole and looked down at the depth of the well.

Then she put the water rod and bucket into the wellhead water, completely forgetting that the well rope next to the well can effectively replace the water rod and better tie the bucket handle for stable fixation.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) shook the rocker next to the well, because the bucket was hung with a water rod, it would become very heavy when the water flowed into the bucket.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) dragged the water pole to lift the water filled in the bucket, but because his strength was not strong enough, he slipped his hand and knocked the bucket over in the wellhead, and did not lift the bucket at the wellhead, but his body was splashed with water stains.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) hurriedly touched her soaked face with her hands, she looked at the wet skirt on her body, she was still holding a water pole in her hand but she didn't see the bucket.

His eyes were empty, and he thought that he had just knocked over the bucket with his small hands, and now he must take something that can hook the bucket and bring it out of the wellhead.

"I thought I could help fetch water, but my hand slipped and fell into the well, and my uncle was still waiting in the field for me to use water to water the soil.

Immediately, she poked her head into the well, leaned over to find the bucket in the well, and looked at the water stains in the well that were slightly turbid, and she could know that the well was only for watering the soil and fertilizing, and it was absolutely impossible to drink the mountain spring water.

"The well is still very muddy." Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) inadvertently saw the well rope beside her, and her unfamiliar hand probably tied the rope to the water pole, and then said: "This time I want to fish you (bucket) out." ”

It was as if the bucket was salvaged from the wellhead, but it felt that the water pole in the well was entangled by something, Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) held back his strength, and took out the well rope along his wrist regardless of his brain.

I thought I had got a wooden barrel that had fallen into a deep well, but I didn't expect it to be a worn-out coarse cloth garment, which had lost its original color by the water.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) threw aside the clothes salvaged from the water pole, she carefully looked at the fabric sewing of the clothes, and probably guessed that the wearer of the clothes was a woman, and couldn't help but think about why there were women's clothes inside the deep well?

"It's strange, how can clothes appear at the mouth of the deep well?" Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) touched her little head melon with her hand and couldn't help blurting out.

Just when Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) was full of greetings, a huge figure behind her blocked the sunlight and shadow in front of her, and she only felt that someone was staring at her behind her.

Seeing that the man was burly, a rough man, he didn't have any words, just made people feel gloomy, his face was dull, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and the corners of his mouth smiled evilly.

Cheng Yuxi (Ru Ting) was about to turn around and raise his head, but was directly punched to the ground by the man.
