Cheng San immediately laughed when he heard this.

He hugged Bai Guichen, who was also not very energetic, and then said: "Godmother, although we need to pretend to be croppers, there is no need to really treat ourselves as croppers, besides, we should also ...... here."

Shu Yan glanced at Cheng San angrily.

"You kid shut up, do you know how cold it is in winter here, there is no firewood in this yard, do you have the money to buy charcoal? Are you ready for winter food and vegetables? ”

Sui Ying came out of the house, she had already changed into very simple clothes, and her hair was directly wrapped in a woman's style.

"The Northwest Hetao, snow flies in September, and dripping water turns into ice in October, we should really make plans early."

Cheng San went to the corner of the wall where the farm tools were placed, found a sickle, and then said to Shu Yan: "When I bought the land, I also bought the wheat on the ground, let's go cut the wheat today." ”

Shu Yan glanced at Cheng San's dress, and she said, "If you don't find a hat to wear, you won't be able to open your eyes when the time comes." ”

After the family had eaten, they all went down to the fields.

Although it was autumn, the weather was not cool at all, and the people who were exposed to the scorching sun could not open their eyes, and the fields were full of wheat harvesters.

Shu Yan, a big family, went to the field and cut the wheat very unskillfully.

Cheng San was very hard at first, but it didn't take long for him to lie on the ground and say to his godmother: "Godmother, why are you so tired from doing farm work?" ”

Shu wiped the sweat from her forehead, and she said: "Farming is not an easy job, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and work, there are so many of us, we can't cut an acre of wheat in a day today?" ”

The rest of the family is a family of dozens of acres, and they have to soak in the fields every day, and they have no time to rest at night, for fear that the rain will affect the harvest.

Yu'an and Xiao Yu'er also worked with scythes, as long as Asura stood stupidly in place, but he didn't know what was going on in his head.

Bai Guichen and Sui Ying are very honest, but the sweat on their faces can't be faked.

At noon, the family's tired waist couldn't straighten up, Shu Yan asked Bai Guichen and Sui Ying to go back to cook, and they looked at the wheat in the field.

Shu Yan was lying on the soft wheat straw, lying in front of Cheng San, Cheng San's face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and the whole person was sweating.

He said angrily: "Godmother, I have also suffered a lot, but harvesting wheat in this kind of land is really tiring......

Bending over to cut wheat in the morning, my back hurts too much to do.

Shu Yan took a sip of water, she glanced at Cheng San, and said helplessly: "Farmers are the hardest. ”

On the other hand, the children on the side seemed to be really energetic, and they were playing with wheat.

Shu Yan looked at Yu'an and muttered to himself: "I have been working in Jiangnan with Old Man Chen for 20 years, but I haven't made anything, the guns I built and the policies I implemented will always be unrecognizable in the process of implementation. ”

Cheng San put a grain of wheat in his mouth.

Shu Yan continued: "I didn't understand it before, but now I seem to understand what the problem is. ”

Cheng San turned his head to look at his godmother, when the two couples were in trouble in Jiangnan, the court had a lot of complaints, they allowed the nobles to enclose the land, causing many people to be displaced and forced to sell themselves in factories.

But because of the disaster in other places, there was not enough food, and many people starved to death that year.

Fortunately, she had many acquaintances in the court, so she was not questioned, but Chen Shengzhi also completely lost his official position.

People in the world say that Chen Shengzhi's martial arts are not an exaggeration to be the prime minister, but he always does some big rebellious things.

Cheng Sanyou asked, "Godmother, you say, what's the problem?" ”

Shu Yan looked at Cheng San, and she seemed to think of something sad.

"I'm going to be a good farmer."

Bai Guichen and Sui Ying sent food, Xu was too tired in the morning, and Bai Guichen's cooking at noon was very oily and salty.

But it is quite a comfortable appetite.

Shu Yan looked at Sui Ying, who obviously didn't have a good face, she was a pampered woman after all, how could she endure such suffering.

Shu Yan said: "You go back in the afternoon, just make dinner in the evening and send it." ”

This Sui Ying looked a little embarrassed, but she still turned around and went back.

After they had eaten and rested, they began to cut the wheat again, and the three of them could finish the wheat in about two days, but after the harvest was finished, they could push it home, and there was other work to do.

and husk, and dry the wheat.

At the end of this day, Shu Yan also had back pain, just waiting to go back and eat something delicious, but when Shu Yan arrived home, he saw a rather simple meal on the table.

Sui Ying said with embarrassment: "Godmother, I will definitely study hard in the future." ”

Shu Yan immediately laughed when he saw Sui Ying like this.

"It doesn't matter, it's like this at the beginning, our family's cooking is not delicious, and only this kid is counted."

Bai Guichen took the chopsticks and tasted it, and he said in a low voice: "If you put less salt, after heavy physical labor, the taste of the food will be heavier." ”

Sui Ying hurriedly nodded.

She seemed to feel that she was useless, so she spoke: "Xiao Yu'er, Yu'an, Asura, how about you learn with me for half an hour every evening in the future?" ”

This Sui Ying was also a talented woman in Beijing at the beginning, although she couldn't participate in the imperial examination, she was also full of wealth.

Yu'an's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Okay."

After eating, Sui Ying brushed the bowl and taught the three children to read by moonlight.

Yu'an has a good foundation, but Xiao Yu'er and Asura are almost literate, so Sui Ying can only teach word by word.

Bai Guichen said: "When the wheat is harvested, I will go to the mountain to chop some firewood, and I see that other families are hoarding." ”

Cheng San said: "I'll go with you, you said that although the life of this cropper is a little harder, but there is always a steadfastness, this wheat is harvested, what will we plant in the future?" ”

Shu Yan smiled.

"That's next year, we can stay until next year, that's still a variable."

Cheng San smiled, he pinched his chin and said, "Then it depends on Old Man Chen's ability." ”

Thirty miles outside Pingqiu City, Chen Shengzhi's army was about to leave, and this time to recover the lost territory and form an alliance with Xiliang was also a big victory.

The rewards of the imperial court came like flowing water, and Chen Shengzhi rode on a horse, although his face was full of wind and frost, he still couldn't hide the restraint around him.

The eldest princess today is even more different from the past, she is wearing a military uniform and riding on a horse, riding side by side with Chen Shengzhi, with a smile on her face.

Eldest Princess: "The people I sent have not replied for a long time, and the marshal thinks, where will they go?" ”

Chen Shengzhi chuckled.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, if the old man wants to protect that child, how do you feel?"
