Jiang Chengtao remembered Yun Xue, so after school at noon that day, he followed Yun Lin to Han's house, and happened to see Yun Xue drying clothes in the yard. "Sister Yunxue, are you okay?"

Yun Xue thought that the autumn harvest was coming soon, and when the time came, she would be busy, and she wouldn't have time to clean up her clothes or anything. So I washed all the old clothes at home, and when the time came, I wore the old clothes to save myself from breaking the new clothes. Originally, it was better to go to the river to wash clothes at this time, but she was reluctant to go out. Regardless of whether others are sympathetic or contemptuous, she doesn't want to go out for a while. So I washed my clothes at home and hung them in the yard.

Hearing someone ask herself, Yun Xue turned her head and saw Jiang Chengtao, "Ah, Chengtao is here, hurry up, sit in the house." "This child and Yunlin are always together, and the two of them discuss homework or something with each other, but they have a good relationship. Yun Xue also has a good impression of this Jiang Chengtao, and thinks he is a very good child.

"No, Sister Yunxue, I just came to see you. Since you're good, I'll go. Cheng Tao felt a little hot on his face. He didn't know what was wrong, as soon as he saw Yun Xue, his heart beat much faster, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. After saying these two sentences, he turned around and was about to leave.

When Yun Xue heard this, her heart warmed, thinking that it was Cheng Tao, the kid, who knew about yesterday's incident and wanted to come over to comfort herself. Seeing that he was leaving, Yun Xue hurriedly called out to him, "Cheng Tao, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Sit here for a while, the family is ready, come and eat with us." ”

"No, I have to go home, if it's too late, my dad will come out to look for me." Cheng Tao didn't reply, waved his hand and left.

Looking at this little boy who ran away in the wind, Yun Xue felt very funny, but she didn't expect that there would be such frizzy times when she looked at a very stable child on weekdays.

Yunni came out of the house with her sister in her arms, "Eldest sister, was it the elder brother of the Jiang family just now?" Why didn't you leave without entering the house? ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "I don't know, I ran away after saying a few words." Okay, regardless of him, let's eat, Yunlin and Yunting should be hungry. Yun Xue beckoned to her younger brothers, "Go wash your hands and hurry up to eat." ”

Before they could enter the house, someone at the gate said, "Excuse me, can I find a drink here?" It was a man's voice.

"It could be someone passing by, coming to find a saliva to drink. Yun Zhen, go take a look and scoop some water for him. Yun Xue was a little puzzled in her heart, they lived in the tight east end of the village, and it was impossible for ordinary people to run here if they passed by? Could it be that he came down from the East Mountain? Forget it, it's just a sip of water, just give him a drink.

Yun Zhen didn't think about anything, so he directly scooped up a scoop of water and took it out. When I came to the door, it turned out that there were a few people standing at the door. One of them, a man with a long body and a beautiful costume, seemed to be the owner of these men.

Seeing Yun Zhen come out, one of the entourages hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We just came down from Dongshan, and at noon, we were all a little thirsty, so we wanted to beg for saliva here, and I hope that the little brother will have a convenient trip." ”

Yun Zhen saw that there were a lot of them, and the scoop of water he served was definitely not enough. I thought for a moment, and then I said, "I have a scoop in my hand, you drink it first, and then I'll go in and scoop water for you." ”

When the attendant heard this, he hesitated a little and looked back at his master.

The man in gorgeous clothes smiled and said, "This little brother, we have just been walking in the mountains for a long time, and we are all a little tired. The sun at noon is also quite poisonous, I wonder if I can go in and sit down and rest for a while? ”

Yun Zhen thought about it and nodded, "Okay then, please come in with me." "People in the mountains, there are often people who come to stay overnight or something, these people are just resting, Yun Zhen naturally has nothing to object. So he led them to the middle room and sat down, and then shouted to the east room, "Sister, these guests want to rest in the room and cool off for a while." ”

Yun Xue came out of the east room, looked at those people, and said with a smile, "Okay, then let the guests rest, you can hurry into the house to eat." "This kind of thing is common, Yun Xue didn't care, she just called Yun Zhen back for dinner." A few guests, there is water in the kitchen at the back, you can go and scoop it yourself. There are stools in this room, so sit down and rest for a while. Yun Xue said to those people.

"Thank you, girl." The man in the fancy dress smiled at Yun Xue. This person is quite handsome, and he looks a little charming when he smiles like this at the moment.

It's a pity that Yun Xue didn't pay attention to him at all, and led her younger brother into the house to eat.

The men drank the water, sat in the house for a while, and then took their leave. Out of Han's house, one of them said, "Young master, what are we doing in such a poor and remote place at noon?" Just to beg for a drink? ”

The other said, "As far as you talk a lot of nonsense, what are we going to do, do we have to make it clear to you?" ”

The group went farther and farther.

The crops in the field were almost ready to be harvested, and Yun Xue took her younger brothers and began to recycle the land. The first thing to collect was the bud rice, Yun Xue and Yun Lin Yun Zhen carried the sickle, directly cut down the bud rice pole, and then put it together from head to tail. Later, Tianfu and Yun Ting Yun Lei broke the bud rice from the top of the bud rice pole. The main reason is that there is more land at home this year, and it is not possible to break the corn cob first as before, and it is inconvenient to transport corn cobs out like that.

This year, five acres of corn were planted, and it grew quite well, and everyone looked at the corn cobs that were almost a foot long, not to mention how beautiful they were. "Eldest sister, this year's corn alone is enough for our rations." Yun Lin said with some excitement.

Yun Xue thought about it in her heart, looking at this, it was still very easy to get four or five hundred catties of corn per acre of land. In these years without chemical fertilizers, it is considered good. Five acres of land can produce almost 2,000 catties, roughly calculated, barely enough for the family to eat. However, this thing can't be eaten just like that, and after it is ground into ballast, it may be a hundred catties of corn, and it will be good to be able to come out of fifty or sixty catties, and the rest of the things are bran and corn navel, which cannot be eaten, and can only be kept to feed chickens or pigs.

So in this way, this corn is not enough to eat. However, this is very good, and I can already save a lot more than I used to buy them all. In addition, soybeans, sorghum, millet, millet and so on are also planted, soybeans are kept for oil, and the remaining sorghum can also be ground into grain to eat. All in all, it is basically enough for the seven people in the family to eat.

Thinking of this, Yun Xue's face showed a satisfied smile, waiting to buy some more land, and she would be much more comfortable in the future.

"Let's work hard, wait for the land to be harvested, and then find a way to buy the land next to it." Said happily.

When Yun Zhen heard it, they all came to the momentum, and they each lowered their heads and worked hard.

At dusk, Yun Xue stood on the top of her house, looking at the fruits of a day's labor, and her heart was very happy. It seems that all this corn will be able to be brought home tomorrow, and then it will take five or six days to cut soybeans and sorghum. "Alright, let's load the corn into the cart and transport it home, it looks like we'll have to make two or three trips."

The siblings loaded the corn into sacks and threw them on the bullock cart. They are small and do not have enough strength, so they can only fill half a sack. The cart was full, so Yun Zhen and Tianfu drove the ox cart home, poured all the corn on the ground, waited to peel off the corn husks, and then tied them up and hung them up.

It took three trips back and forth for the ox cart to bring home all the corn that had been broken today. Yun Xue was also tired enough, so she went home and quickly washed her hands and ate, and then went to rest.

The autumn harvest is undoubtedly tiring, but looking at the golden corn and purple sorghum are all taken back home, it is a joy from the heart. At this time, all families have begun to collect land from their homes, and after a year of busy work, this is a good time to harvest.

Everyone is busy, naturally no one is talking about Yunxue anymore, and there is a new topic in the village, everyone is talking about Yutao's family affairs.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, a small sedan chair took the jade peach away. Accepting a concubine, naturally she is not a daughter-in-law, she can't blow and blow, and she can't use the lanterns to make a big show, so Yutao was quietly taken away. The Zhou family still values Yu Tao, and sent a matchmaker and a mother-in-law to welcome relatives, which can be regarded as giving Yu Tao a long face. Like the two concubines of the Zhou family, they just opened the round house directly, and there was no such ceremony.

The old Han family didn't have a treat or anything, and his daughter married out to be a concubine, although she got benefits, but her reputation was not good. Moreover, the Li family is also a picker, so she is reluctant to spend that money to invite people to a banquet. It just so happened that every family in the village was busy, and everyone didn't have the time to drink, so a girl's lifelong event was quietly solved.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, the eldest son of the Zhou family accompanied Yutao back to the old Han family. Originally, there was no rule for concubines to return to the door, but now that the eldest prince of Zhou was fascinated by the jade peach, he couldn't care about those etiquette. A few tears of Yutao, the eldest prince of Zhou hurriedly asked people to prepare a carriage, with a lot of gifts, and a few girls and mothers-in-law, and returned to the village together.

Han Ren's family saw Zhou Dagongzi coming back with Yutao, and they were all so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut. The daughter is favored in the Zhou family, and they will have to rely on it in the future, who can be unhappy?

The three of Brother Yunfeng were all cleaned up very neatly and talked to Zhou Gongzi at home. Yun Feng has read books, understands many rules, and has told Yun Zheng and Yun Zhang'er in advance. So between the brothers, they are very regular, and they choose to speak well. Naturally, they don't dare to call themselves their uncles, and now that their sister is still unstable in the Zhou family, they must not get carried away.

Zhou Gongzi was very satisfied with the Han family's knowledge, he originally thought that the farmers in the village were vulgar and unruly, but now that he looks at it, it is not bad, so he also attaches more importance to Yutao.
