Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 108 The Teenager's Mind
The Xu family all arrived in the town on the third day of May. There was a lot of food prepared on the mountain, and the two families just had to make their own food.When the old man and Mrs. Chen saw that their son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren had all returned, they were naturally very happy, "Okay, okay, we're all back. Let's celebrate the festival together, and then go up the mountain after the festival." People are getting older , I like crowds the most, I wish all the juniors were by my side.The old man is not yet 60 years old this year, but his love for his children and grandchildren is growing day by day.

Zhixin and the others discussed it before they came back. They are not allowed to say anything about saving lives, so that the old people don't have to worry about it.The two girls, Jing Han and Jing Xian, jumped in front of their grandparents, "Grandma, grandma, we are back, do you miss us?" Jing Xian asked, putting her arms around Chen's.

"I think, why don't you want to? Grandma wished you were in front of me every day. This man is weird when he is old. The more he is away, the more he misses him. Let's stay for two more days this time, and go back in a few days. "Chen reached out and touched Jingxian's little head, then looked at Jinghan and said.

"Well, stay at home for a few days. Anyway, the silkworms have climbed the tree, and there are Honglian and the others, so it's not a big deal." Jinghan nodded, as an old man, please coax as much as you can.

"Okay, then let's make dumplings to eat at night, and cut the meat later." The old lady became happy and insisted on making dumplings.In this day and age, dumplings are a good thing. With the Xu family's current conditions, it's no problem to eat dumplings, but it's not something you can eat casually.

"Grandma, look how happy you are. What kind of vegetables are there at this time? You're still making dumplings." Jinghan smiled. The small vegetables in the field are still small now, and the wild vegetables are out of date. How can there be any vegetables?
"Really, grandma was so happy that she forgot everything. Otherwise, let's make wontons. This thing doesn't need vegetables, just meat and green onions." The old lady thought about it, so she decided to make wontons.So Wencheng went out to buy meat, and everyone made wontons together.

In the evening Wenhan, Zixuan, and Wenxuan came back from the school. Zixuan led his younger brother Ziwen to Mrs. Chen and the old man, "Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, we will go back to the village tomorrow morning. The school is on holiday tomorrow. Wait until it is over." We’ll come back again on Christmas Day.” Ziwen studied in the town the year before last, and didn’t bother the two masters, so he lived with Zixuan in Xu’s house.

"Hey, okay. It's the holidays, and it's time to go back and see your family. Your grandma misses you so much." The old man took a puff of cigarette and said.

Jinghan happened to come over from the kitchen, "Brother Zixuan, Ziwen, why are you leaving just after I came back?"

"It's the holidays, I have to go back and see my family. Sister Jinghan will stay at home for a few more days, and we'll be back after the Dragon Boat Festival." Zixuan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, tall and well-developed .Wearing a rose red shirt, she looked even more playful and charming.Her complexion is not as white as that of ordinary girls, it is a little honey-colored, but it looks very healthy.The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, and the dimples are looming. Even when he is not smiling, he looks like he is smiling.Looking at her, as if under the warm spring sun, my mood also became more comfortable.

Jinghan smiled slightly, "Okay, we'll stay at home for a few more days, and we'll leave after Brother Zixuan comes back. By the way, I haven't seen Sister Yumei for a while, and I don't know how the tussah silkworms she cultivated this year are like ours. Brother Zixuan went back and told Sister Yumei that I missed her, and let her come to town with you for a few days when she is free." Yumei also learned how to raise tussah silkworms from Jinghan last year. It's not bad, it should be better this year.

Zixuan nodded, "Okay, I will definitely tell Yumei when I get back."

It happened that Mrs. Xue and the others had already cooked the wontons, put them in two pots, and brought them into the house, "Hurry up and put the wontons on the table, we will have the wontons tonight. Eat them while they are hot, they are delicious."

Everyone hurriedly put it on the table, brought bowls and chopsticks, and then all sat at the table to have dinner.

Xue filled a bowl full of wontons for everyone, "Come on, eat quickly. Be careful, don't burn your tongue."

Jinghan scooped up a wonton with the spoon, blew it with her mouth, and then bit it open.Well, it tastes really good. There is nothing else in the wonton filling, just meat and chopped green onion. It tastes really delicious when you eat it.Jinghan looked at Jingya who was beside her, "Eldest sister, hurry up and eat this food while it's hot."

Jingya also held a spoon in her hand, blowing the wonton carefully, not daring to bite it open. "It's too hot, I'm afraid I'll burn it." Jingya always eats very politely.

Not long after, everyone finished eating a bowl, and Mrs. Chen said after seeing it, "You can serve it again after you finish eating. We don't care about bowls when we eat, as long as we are full."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, each took a bowl, went to fill another bowl, and continued to eat.

After dinner, Wenhan and the others will naturally go back to the house to read. Wenhan and Zixuan are both going to take the entrance examination this fall, so they have been working very hard recently.The college exam is held twice in three years, but that year Wen Han and the others failed the exam once.The master didn't let them take part anymore, saying that they didn't have enough foundation, if they tried to take part reluctantly, they wouldn't pass, so it's better to study for a few more years and then take the test again.Therefore, Wen Han and the others have been concentrating on studying for the past few years, and did not take the college examination again.This year the master said to let them go, so Wenhan, Zixuan and Pengcheng are all going to take the examination this year.

Jinghan also wanted to read for a while, so she followed Wenhan to their study.There are many books in the study room nowadays.Some were bought by everyone when they went out, some were collected by Zhixiang in the past, and of course there are many good books that Zhixiang has scoured outside in the past two years, all of which were given to Wen Han and the others.According to a rough estimate, the Xu family should have a thousand books now.

Jinghan held a book and sat on the wooden couch with candles lit in front of her.With the dim light of the candle, I read it carefully.Except for Wen Han and the others who use candles for reading, the rest of the Xu family still use oil lamps. In this day and age, there are still very few families using candles. "Brother, you and brother Zixuan are going to take the examination this year, right?"

"Well, I failed the exam last year, so of course I'm going to try it this year. The teacher in the school said that we shouldn't pay too much attention to it. There are many people who are very old, and they are still children." Wen Han also held the book I watched it there, and answered what my sister said.

Jinghan nodded, "The master is right. There are many people in their 40s and [-]s who are still children, and they can still persist in taking the exam again. So brothers don't have to worry too much. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time. After finishing speaking, Jing Han continued to read, and stopped disturbing them.

Zixuan couldn't concentrate tonight, his eyes looked towards Jinghan from time to time.Although she has always lived in Xu's house, there are not many opportunities to see Jinghan. Every spring, Jinghan will go up the mountain, and will not come back until after the snow falls.I would go back to town a few times in the middle, and sometimes just in time for myself to go home, so every time I see Jinghan, I feel that this girl has changed a lot.

Seeing Jinghan holding the book and lowering her head to study it, she was very absorbed in reading it, Zixuan felt a little lost.In his heart, he hoped that Jinghan could look up at him, but at the same time, he was afraid that Jinghan would reveal his thoughts if he really looked at him.That's right, in my own mind, I don't know when, for Jinghan, she is no longer that cute little sister next door.what is it then?I can't explain it clearly, but sometimes I think, if I can have this girl by my side in this life, it should be a very happy thing, right?

Wenhan looked up at Zixuan, a little puzzled, "Zixuan, what's wrong with you today, it took you so long to read two pages of the book? We have an exam this year, so we must study hard."

Zixuan's face was reddish, he quickly restrained his thoughts, and looked down at the book in his hand.

Jinghan saw that it was getting late, so she put the book on the shelf, and said to Wenhan and the others, "Brother, Brother Zixuan, Ziwen, Wenxuan, Wenchang, it's getting late, I'll go back to rest first, Go to bed earlier, too." After speaking, Jing Han went out.

Zixuan looked at Jinghan's back, feeling a little bit reluctant.But after thinking about it, if I can't even pass the hospital exam, how will I face Jinghan in the future, and how can I give her happiness?You must know that my family is just a slightly wealthy farmer, and now it is no longer comparable to the Xu family.If I can't have a fame, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to achieve my wish.Thinking of this, Zixuan's heart settled down, he collected his mood, and concentrated on reading.

The next morning, when Zixuan and Ziwen were going back to the village, Mrs. Chen prepared a big bag and stuffed it for Zixuan.

Zixuan didn't want it, "Grandma, we've been eating and living here for four years, and we've been bothering our grandparents. My family was supposed to send some things here during the holidays, so how can we still ask for things from grandma?"

Mrs. Chen glared at Zixuan, "What are you talking about? You and Wenhan have been together since childhood, and you are the same as my own grandson. My grandson is studying here, can I still ask for things? These are for Your grandma's are all gifts sent by Jinghan's fifth uncle a few days ago. We don't have some things here, I just want you to take them back to give your grandma a taste of new things. Good boy, you just take it Yes. If your father scolds you when you go home, just say that I forced it on you, it’s okay.” Chen found a carrying basket, put things in the carrying basket, and let Zixuan carry it on his back. It's much easier to hold or hold.

Zixuan had no choice but to accept the things. "Thank you grandma, then let's go." Saying that, Zixuan picked up the basket and led Ziwen back home.

Chen looked at Zixuan and the others' backs, a little lost in thought.Mrs. Xue happened to walk over and asked, "Mother, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking that this Zixuan is also eighteen. Look at this young man, but he is no worse than Wenhan. The Lin family is also a kind and benevolent family. I don't know which girl is lucky enough to marry For Zixuan." Chen sighed there.

When Mrs. Xue heard this, she laughed, "Mother, if you take a fancy to Zixuan, what's the problem? Jinghan and Jingwan are not too young. Which one is suitable for you? Let's marry the Lin family. It's settled." Xue Shi also liked Zixuan very much in her heart, so she said half-jokingly.
