Li Chengmu looked at the scorching sun outside the house, and suddenly had a bitter face, if it was in Gyeonggi before, he would never think of taking the path of a military general.

Not because of anything else, just because the generals led the troops to fight outside, and it was too bitter to come and go in the wind and rain.

"Second cousin, are you serious?"

Xia He listened to his words, and said with a straight face: "Of course seriously, it is every man's dream to fight on the battlefield, if you promise me to go to the barracks, I will definitely follow the training and never hold you back." ”

Xia Hu raised his eyebrows and said to Xia Hedao: "It is your dream to fight on the battlefield, and your will does not represent all men in the world." I envy the life of my cousin before, who has been fed and clothed since birth, and has countless servants to serve him. Without working hard, you have reached a destination that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, do you say that people are envious and jealous? ”

The other siblings nodded in agreement, they were just the opposite, they were forced by their parents to learn literary and martial arts skills since they were born, and all their efforts were just to be able to eat and feed the family when they grew up in the future.

Comparisons are odious!

Li Chengmu didn't understand their thoughts at all, he felt that he had nothing to envy except for his background.

He wakes up every day and is still forced to exercise, just to live longer in the next troubled times.

Let's just say that in Gyeonggi in the past, I also had to get up early and study late every day, and in addition to sleeping, I was either on the way to the academy or attending classes at the academy every day, so how much time did I have to waste my time.

Xia Hu approached Li Chengmu and showed that he was very close to him, "Do you know Cousin Mu? I've loved the feeling of making money since I was a kid. When I used to go to school, I often sold small toys and trinkets to sell to my classmates, and with this in and out, I could earn a lot of copper plates every time. ”

Xia He listened to his brother's words, and then talked about his previous troubles, "Cousin Mu, don't you know, he was very hateful when he was a child, every time he earned some copper plates, he had to shake his purse to listen to the copper plate before going to bed, not only made me sleep, I said him, he also retorted: Why don't you like to listen to the sound of copper plates so pleasant?" ”

"Haha." This is the first time Li Chengmu has heard an interesting story about an ordinary boy when he was a child, and he couldn't help laughing for a while.

Finally stopped laughing, and he asked Xia Hu, "Third cousin, what did you think at that time?" Why do you have to shake the copper plate before going to bed? ”

Xia Hu rolled his eyes at Xia He, and sighed before he spoke, "Cousin Mu, you don't know how uncomfortable it is to not hear the sound of the copper plate, and that kind of heart-scratching feeling is something that a person like you who has been clothed and fed since childhood can't understand it." I only need to hear the sound of copper plates to sleep at night, otherwise I just toss and turn and don't want to sleep soundly. ”

"Haha." Li Chengmu didn't care about his image and laughed.

Xia He listened to Xia Hu's words, and couldn't cry or laugh: "The sound of the copper plate can still hypnotize!" ”

Xia Hu scratched his head and smiled shyly: "Sort of." ”

Xia Hua, who is only six years old this year, sat on the side and watched everyone chatting with wide eyes, and she didn't understand a word about the chats of her brothers.

I finally understood a sentence, as if it meant sleeping.

She quickly slid off the chair, leaned on Xia Hu's lap, and asked with big sparkling eyes, "Third brother, do you dream of making a lot of money when you sleep at night?" ”

Xia Hu scooped Xia Hua on his lap and nodded with a smile, "I've dreamed of it." ”

Xia Hua is the youngest daughter of the second uncle, and she is also the only girl in the Xia family's generation, and the brothers above are very fond of her.

Xia Hua thought hard for a while, and under the eyes of her brothers who were expecting what else she would say, she asked: "The third brother dreamed of wanting to pee when he slept at night, but he couldn't find a place to pee, but he finally found a place to pee, but he suddenly woke up." ”

"I woke up and found myself urinated on the bed, didn't I?" Xia Hu happily took over the conversation.

"Ahh Xia Hua covered her mouth and pointed at Xia Hu in surprise, "It turns out that the third brother has also wetted the bed!" ”

“.”

A breeze blew, and the leaves outside the house danced.

"Poof! Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Especially Xia Ba, who was in the second room, slapped the table with a smile that couldn't help but smile.

He pointed to Xia Hu, smiled without image, and asked, "Haha. It turns out that the third brother, you also wet the bed! You, you're about to marry a daughter-in-law and still wet the bed, does your future daughter-in-law know? ”

Li Chengmu held his stomach and almost laughed, ouch! These cousins and cousins are so funny.

He estimated that after this incident, Xia Hu would have a psychological shadow on bedwetting, and he didn't know if he dared to fall asleep on the wedding night?

Xia Hu's face was flushed, he couldn't be angry with his youngest sister, he could only transfer all his anger to Xia Ba.

I saw him glaring at Xia Ba angrily: "Shut up!" Xia Ba, you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll whip you! ”

Xia Ba was so frightened by his roar that he immediately didn't dare to speak, but in his heart he thought that he was asking the truth and was not wrong.

Li Chengmu patted Xia Hu's shoulder and comforted: "Tong Yan Wuji, don't take it to heart, as long as we all believe that our cousin has not wet the bed, a few of them say that it can't be taken seriously!" ”

“.” Xia Hu turned his head and said word by word: "I thank you, cousin!" ”

Xia He seemed to hear the sound of grinding his teeth, but at this time, he didn't want to touch Xia Hu's sensitive nerves, don't spray at him at that time!

Li Chengmu didn't seem to hear the strangeness of this voice, smiled and waved his hand, "No thanks, no thanks, this incident has passed without a trace today, and everyone will forget it." ”

Xia He stroked his forehead, cousin Mu, please don't always mention this, okay, he is really worried that the third child will run away!

Sure enough, Xia Hu held back his stomach and said angrily: "I went to urge the little guy who cut the melon, and I haven't sent the melon over for so long!" ”

I really can't talk about it anymore!

Li Chengmu glanced at the dazzling sunlight outside and hesitated for a while, "It's too hot outside, don't worry, third cousin, just wait a little longer." ”

"It's okay! I have rough skin and thick flesh, and I can stand the sun! ”

Xia Hu's words fell, as if the floor tiles on the ground had a grudge against him, and he stepped out of the side hall heavily.

Xia He was sure that the person was far away, so he turned around and nodded at Xia Hua and Xia Ba, and shook his head helplessly: "You guys try to avoid your third brother during this time." ”

"Haha. Ahem, in fact, the third cousin is not as fragile as you think. Li Chengmu was in a good mood, as if he didn't deliberately make people angry just now.

Xia Di, who was three years older than Xia Hua, rubbed her sister's hair and said softly: "Sister, don't talk about bedwetting in the future, otherwise everyone will know that you have wetted the bed in the future, how embarrassing!" ”

Xia Hua grinned: "Got it, Seventh Brother." ”

——

Xia's Grange, the hot weather still can't stop everyone's enthusiasm to do things.

The men and women in the Zhuangzi drove the buffalo down the paddy field before dawn, preparing to plow the barren field again and make the final preparations for the next rice planting.

The women also took advantage of the cool morning to follow them down to the fields, and the fields they went down were rice fields.

They bend over and pull the seedlings in the paddy fields, and before the men plow the fields, they have to prepare enough seedlings for the men to plow the fields before planting them.

As the sun slowly rose, the elders of each family came to the fields with food to deliver food to the family laborers.

When Xia Jing arrived in a carriage, there were many villagers sitting on the side of the road resting and eating.

The villagers, who were resting and eating, spotted the two-headed carriage and stood up to make way for the carriage to pass.

Hongmei noticed the situation outside and sighed: "These villagers who fled with us at the beginning are really trying to live. ”

Xia Jing looked outside and said: "At present, the life that the people yearn for should be this kind of life without oppression, no need to be displaced, and it is good to live and work in peace and contentment in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers." Maybe the fatigue of life in their hearts is not hard, and the family can't be neatly together. ”

Xia Jing asked the carriage to stop, and she got out of the carriage.

The villagers found Xia Jing getting out of the carriage and saluted her.

Xia Jing stopped everyone from saluting, looked at the little girl who was eating steamed buns on the side, and asked the family next to her, "You came to Lingnan, are you used to your life?" ”

Yonggen wiped his mouth, put down the bowl and stood up in an orderly manner, "Back to the princess, life in Lingnan is much better than in our hometown before, if there is anything you are not used to, you are used to it, you are used to it." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the steamed bun in his daughter's hand, "Let's just talk about this steamed bun, if it weren't for the princess teaching everyone to use yeast to ferment flour, we would be so stupid that we would die, who would have thought of yeast?" may still be stupidly eating dead dough cakes. ”

Yeast was first used in the kitchen of the house, and the next time Xia Jing noticed that the villagers in the grange were still eating dead dough cakes, so she gave them two packets of yeast, and taught them to remember to leave a little fermented dough every time for the next dough to use.

Xia Jing smiled and nodded, looking at their breakfast today, simple multigrain porridge and steamed buns.

Yonggen sincerely invited, "Princess, did you have breakfast?" If you don't eat it, the small family has made a lot in the morning, so you can go to the small home to eat some. ”

However, in the end, it is a bit embarrassing, after all, the food at home is too crude in the eyes of the princess.

Xia Jing chuckled: "Thank you, we came here after breakfast, you eat slowly, don't worry about us, I'll take a look everywhere." ”

Nagagen smiled and stepped aside, "You're busy, you're busy." ”

Zuo Jiuchuan hurriedly trotted over, wiped his sweat and said, "The little one has seen the princess." ”

Xia Jing bowed her head, and then she noticed that many of the villagers sitting in the fields eating breakfast had washed their hands in a hurry, and most of them had their trouser legs raised high, and the mud on their feet had not had time to be cleaned, so they sat there and ate it in a big gulp.

It can be seen that the time is tight when the farm is busy, and everyone is hungry, so in order to save time, they can only deal with it.

As she walked forward, she asked, "Is there enough for the ploughing cattle?" Have all the newly built paddy fields been fertilized? ”

Zuo Jiuchuan replied truthfully, "All paddy fields have more or less applied some base fertilizer, but because everything is newly built here, although the fertilizer is applied, there is still a gap in fertilizer, and I hope that the breeding industry in our grange will improve after it is on the right track." ”

"The situation will improve, otherwise the manure pond under the breeding area will not be built in vain."

Walking all the way to the breeding area, I saw that many paddy fields had been plowed, and by the time the villagers had finished breakfast, they should be able to start planting rice.

Zuo Jiuchuan looked at the seedlings in Chengdan, and his brows were knotted, they had never planted rice in the north before.

However, this is the first time he has seen this method of rice transplanting, and in order to be proper, he specially consulted the local people, knowing that rice can be sown in the field with grain seeds.

But the princess asked him to pull out the seedlings and then plant the seedlings, isn't this a superfluous move to find trouble?

"Princess, these seedlings have all been pulled out, and the mud on the roots has been washed, is it okay?"

The seedlings are delicate, don't plant the seedlings when you can't survive and lose a lot.

Xia Jing glanced at him amusedly, "Don't worry, you just do what I ask, don't worry about this." ”

"That's good." Zuo Jiuchuan's heart fell a little, and he still couldn't completely let go of his heart if he didn't really see the seedlings come to life.

Passing by a pond, Xia Jing noticed that there were a lot of straight aquatic plants growing next to the pond.

She didn't know this plant, so she asked out of curiosity, "Steward Zuo, what is this plant?" I see a lot of growth by the pond, why don't you get rid of it? ”

Zuo Jiuchuan glanced at the waterside plant and explained: "This plant is called a water candle by the locals, because it grows in water, and after it bears ears, the ears are a bit like candles. ”

Xia Jing asked curiously, "Oh, what other uses does this plant have?" ”

Otherwise, a good pond would not tolerate its existence.

Zuo Jiuchuan's expression relaxed, with a smile on his face, "I heard from the locals that this kind of water candle is dried when it is mature, and when it is peeled off, it is a bit like cotton, which can be used as a quilt and pillow." ”

Xia Jing's eyes lit up, "You mean to say that this water candle can be used as cotton?" ”

Zuo Jiuchuan has not seen it with his own eyes, but he has heard about it from local villagers.

At this time, he heard Xia Jing's question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He scratched his head, "It should be possible, but there may not be cotton to keep warm, but for the poor, it's better than nothing." A quilt made of this water candle can somewhat block out some of the chill. ”

Xia Jing nodded, since she knew a new plant, when it matured, she would come to see the difference of this plant.

Zuo Jiuchuan caught a glimpse of a few mulberry trees growing here and there on the side of the road, and he asked again: "Princess, should we plant some mulberry hemp in the mountain stream?" ”

Adding mulberry hemp is a good suggestion, Xia Jing has nothing to object, "You look at the arrangement of this matter, food, clothing, housing and transportation, food and clothing in front, it can be seen that its importance, if our grange can be varied, it will be varied." ”

In the breeding area, the chickens and ducks will basically grow up in another month, the piglets weigh about seventy or eighty pounds, the adult cattle have gone down to the field to plow the field, and the calves are leisurely flicking their tails in the bullpen.

The mental state of these poultry and livestock is good, which shows that the breeders have put a lot of effort into it.

"In another month, when the chickens and ducks are out of the cage, the Grange will have income."

Zuo Jiuchuan smiled, since the construction of the grange, he has been investing money in it, and now it is about to produce output, he can not be happy.

"The Grange has long had an output, but you didn't pay attention to it, in addition to clearing the wasteland in the past few months, everyone has collected hemp, kneaded it into thread and woven it into sacks, this is the output."

If there is no busyness of the women, when the autumn harvest comes, Xia Jing will go outside to buy a lot of sacks to hold grain.

Now that the women in the grange are doing it, they are saving a lot of money.

Happy June 1st, everyone~
