Wei Zhan and Xiao Chengyu stayed at Jiang's house for two days.

On the third day, Cui Zhaochen was ready to take them back.

Wei Zhan was okay, knowing that if he didn't go back, he might be grounded for another half a year, so he obediently got into the carriage and waved goodbye to Huzi: "I'll come back when the New Year comes!" ”

Xiao Chengyu refused to leave, kicked, hit and grabbed the guards who hugged him, and shouted for help in his voice.

"Ahhh Help me! I don't want to go back! Woo woo woo ... I'm coming down! I'm not going back! ”

The guards didn't dare to exert themselves, and let the little boy break out of his arms without paying attention.

Xiao Chengyu ran to Yingbao as soon as he slipped away, hugged her and didn't let go: "Woo woo woo... I don't want to go back, Sister Sakura Bao save me..."

Sakura pat him helplessly, "Then don't you want your father?" ”

Xiao Chengyu shook his head vigorously, with a lot of tears and snot: "Don't, don't." ”

Ying Bao was speechless, wiped his face with the hem of his clothes, and coaxed: "Then you go home first, and then come back to play with your brother Wei Zhan later, okay?" ”

"Not good." Xiao Chengyu grabbed her and didn't let go, whimpering and crying, aggrieved. "A-Niang won't let me."

Sakura thought for a while and said, "That sister gave you a jar of peach juice, you can bring it back to your mother to taste, maybe she will agree to let you come here to play for a few more days." ”

Xiao Chengyu blinked, thought about it with his immature head, and felt that it made sense.

Because the peach juice is so delicious, it can also be consumed, and he has never hurt his stomach after eating, A-Niang must like it.

"Then, then I want two jars." Xiao Chengyu began to put forward conditions.

One jar is for his mother, and the other is for him to drink.

Sakura: "Okay, two altars are two altars." ”

As long as you send this troublemaker away, even if you give him three altars.

Anyway, the peach tree next to the pupil spring in my cave has already blossomed and borne fruit, and the peaches that bear fruit are big, red and sweet, and they are very delicious.

In this season, peaches and grapes cannot be taken out, and she is the only one who can't finish eating, so she can only boil them into peach juice or grape juice, and occasionally take out a jar for her brother to drink.

Boiling juice alone didn't solve the problem, so she made some peach wine and wine in Dongfu.

I once bought a jar of koji in the capital, plus a jar of the Xiao family's compensation, which can be used to make a lot of wine.

When the wine is brewed, when it comes to the New Year's holiday, you can take out some seasonal gifts and give them away, and then don't drink them at home.

Ying Bao ran home and brought two jars of peach juice to Xiao Chengyu.

Seeing Wei Zhan's resentful face, he gave him two more altars, and then sent the two away.

When he got home, Jiang Quan looked at his little cousin vigorously, chased after her and asked, "Where did you get so much peach juice?" ”

"I cooked it before, but I didn't take it out in the house." Sakura Bao does not change color.

Jiang Quan suspected that his little cousin was lying, but he had no evidence.

"Come with me to the county seat?" He asked.

Sakurabo: "No. "As long as the county shop has two businesses, the lobby brother and the second cousin, there is no need for me to participate in everything.

And recently, the shop is building a house, and I went by myself, and the accommodation is not convenient.

Jiang Quan shook his head regretfully and began to register the golden ear snow fungus that his little cousin moved out.

Their shop mainly relies on Golden Ear Snow Ear to make a lot of money, and the rest is a small fight.

However, this year's gourd is shining, and many people go to the specialty shop to buy it.

The gourds planted by the people in the village were basically handed over to Jiang Quan for sale, and each family also made a lot of money.

Even a few families in the West Village who grow gourds have made a windfall.

Jiang Quan took a few baskets of mushrooms and more than a dozen gourds back to the county seat, accompanied by his eldest brother Jiang Cheng, as well as Yuan Bao and Jiang Jie.

Jiang Yunniang's family was also picked up by her eldest son Zhang Yukun, and when she left, Jiang Liu's family felt sorry for her daughter and secretly stuffed her with twenty taels of silver.

The village is getting busy, and families go to the fields to pick cotton.

The Jiang family is the same, and the whole family goes out to pick cotton.

Jiang Saburo also hired more than 20 people from other villages to help the family.

Chun Niang and her sister-in-law and sister-in-law cooked at home, and then sent them to the field to eat for those hired workers.

After picking up the cotton, ginning begins.

Almost every household in Dongchen Village has a cotton gin, and the harvested seed cotton is quickly grunned.

Jiang Saburo rolled the ginned cotton into a roll with oil paper, five catties a piece, and sent some of it to his own shop, and the rest was ready to be spun into yarn and kept for weaving.

At this time, the county government also sent people to buy cotton and cotton seeds, ready to be transported to Fucheng.

The county government purchased a lot of money this time, and used twenty or thirty mule carts, all the way mighty, quite spectacular.

Fortunately, cotton planting in Chuanhe Town has become popular, and many families are willing to sell their excess cotton seeds to the government, saving time and effort.

Once the cotton harvest is over, the villagers begin to pull out the stalks, tidy up the fields, and prepare for the wheat planting.

The Jiang family still hires people to do these jobs, and they are responsible for their two meals a day.

On this day, Erni and Sakura Bao went to the field to deliver food.

The rice was packed in wooden barrels and placed in large bamboo baskets, carried by ponies, and carried to the cotton fields.

When he was halfway there, he saw a woman standing by the roadside.

The woman's hair was gray and disheveled, her face was old, and her clothes were patched on top of each other.

"Erni." The woman spoke, looking at Erni with teary eyes.

Erni was stunned for a moment, looked carefully, and sure enough, it was her own mother Leng.

"Mother? How did you get to this? Erni didn't expect her own mother to become like this, she was really stunned.

Leng took a step forward and untied a bag in his hand, revealing two small clothes and a bag of cloth belts.

"The little clothes that my mother sewed for you." She stuffed the small burden into Erni's hand: "You are already ten years old, you will be able to use it immediately." ”

Erni took the burden, bit her lip, and couldn't help but shed tears.

She touched Leng's rough hands and choked up, "Mother, why are you suffering?" ”

Leng hugged Erni and cried, crying while crying: "It's my mother's mistake, my mother can't live with your father, I can't live with you and Huzi, my mother regrets it..."

After she was abandoned by Zuo Chengxiu, not long after she returned to her parents' home, she was sold by her brother to an old shepherd in her sixties for the price of two sheep.

The old shepherd was not human, and often beat and humiliated her, forbade her to go out, and forced her to have children.

But for unknown reasons, she never got pregnant.

The old shepherd felt that he had suffered a loss, so he ran to find the Leng family to make a noise, and even fought with the Leng brothers.

But where is the old shepherd the opponent of the young and strong Leng Dalang, he was beaten down in a few moments.

The old shepherd was carried home, and within a few days he was lain.

The villagers helped bury the old shepherd, and the Leng family finally regained their freedom.

She didn't go back to her parents' home, but chose to stay, and lived alone in that dilapidated house.

Because there were still a few sheep in the family, she sold two and kept the remaining two for breeding.

But within a few days, Leng Dalang and his mother came to the door again and forced Leng to remarry.

This time, Leng was resolute and uncompromising, and warned her mother and brother that if she dared to force her, she would go to the official and say that the old shepherd had been beaten to death by them.

Leng Lao Niang and Leng Dalang were scared and didn't dare to harass her again.

"Erni, my mother doesn't ask for anything, I just want to come to see you occasionally, okay?" Leng hugged Erni and cried.

She regretted not being at the beginning, thinking back on those years, she was really stunned, and she thought that her mother's family was the best, and it turned out to be like this.

Erni nodded: "You can come if you want, but... Don't be like that again. Dad is married, Yan Runiang is very good to me and Huzi, you... Just don't bother them. ”
