Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 221: There Is No Airtight Wall In The World
"Hey, girl Xi, this time is different from usual. If I really got a few fat pigs in this trip to the pig market, I will not only invite your father to drink with me when I go back, but I will also give you half a cup of wine." What do you think of stewed pork liver soup?" Butcher Zhang asked Jinxi with a raised eyebrow.

"Ah, what good thing happened to Uncle Zhang, why is he so forthright?" Jin Xi smiled, Liang Yuzhong also looked at it with a smile, the two companions of Zhang Tuhu's family all looked very mysterious .

Butcher Zhang's unshaven face with Chinese characters squeezed his eyes into slits with a smile, and stretched out his big, greasy cattail fan, which couldn't be washed off all year round, waved in front of Jin Xi, and said, "Let's keep it secret for now, wait for my good news later! "

Liang Yuzhong shook his head and smiled, because each of them had something on their minds, so they drove in opposite directions without exchanging greetings.

It was already the first ten days of March in the lunar calendar. Although the severe winter freeze had already faded, it was still a bit cold in this early morning.Sitting on the carriage, Jin Xi opened the curtains to watch the flashing scenery outside, all eyes were lush greenery.

The roadside is no longer yellow or bare. The revived grass seems to have laid a natural blue carpet on the road, dotted with wild flowers.After a whole winter of oppressive wind and snow, the winter wheat in the field beside the road stood tall and upright, and a morning breeze blew by, turning the green sea in the wheat field.

The rapeseed fields are growing well, and some of them have bloomed a few small yellow flowers, which are particularly eye-catching in this piece of greenery.

"Last year's rain and snow were good, and this year's farmers' wheat and rapeseed harvests are definitely not bad. Look, the wheat in that field over there is almost about to be filled!" Liang Yuzhong's voice came through the curtain in front of the carriage. , the voice reveals the excitement and joy of the farmers for the good harvest.

Jin Xi is noncommittal, this is a society based on agriculture, the quality of the harvest in the field is directly linked to the food, clothing and clothing of the family, and a good harvest is naturally full of joy.

"Hey, it's a pity that our family's fertile land was harvested late, and it wasted for nothing!" Liang Yuzhong regretted again.

Jin Xi nodded secretly, isn't that right?When winter wheat and rapeseed were planted last year, it was around the time of cold dew and frost.Jin Xi's family purchased fertile land during the lunar new year.So, at the beginning of spring this year, other people's fields were lush with greenery, but Jin Xi's family's ten-acre field was bare.

"Don't worry, Dad. We missed it last year, but we won't be able to do it this year. Butler Cai is leading a few long-term workers in the family. During this time, he should be busy digging the ground and piling fire dung. Before coming to the county seat, I I heard from Steward Cai that if the weather is fine in the first ten days of next month, we can sow cotton, and in the second half of the month, we will start working on early rice seedlings." Jin Xi poked her head out of the curtain and said loudly to Liang Yuzhong.

"That's right, that's what Lao Cai told me. We are near the south, and we can sow two seasons of rice a year! If God is good, the rice field of more than ten acres will yield a lot, except for handing over to the yamen We can still save a lot of taxes on our own, and the food rations for so many people in a few places are safe! It won't be like now, going out to buy rice and grain!" Liang Yuzhong turned his head Talk to Jin Xi.

"Well, sharpening knives is not a mistake in chopping firewood. Steward Cai used to take care of these in Zhuangzi. With him, as long as there are no natural disasters, our rice fields will definitely have a bumper harvest this year. When the harvest is over in autumn, we will also Plant rapeseed and wheat." Jin Xi said.

"That's right, although we have opened three shops, this root system has to be firmly tied to the soil we are stepping on, so that we can feel at ease!" Liang Yuzhong said excitedly, waving his horsewhip.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, no matter how rich they are, their status in the whole society is still in a humble position.Deep in their hearts, both Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun regard the ability to buy more land as the foundation of their careers.

Jin Xi simply climbed out of the carriage, and sat next to him. The father and daughter drove towards the direction of Changqiao Town, planning along the way to make more money in the coming year, and to buy another ten or twenty acres of land. return……

Arrived in Changqiao Town before noon, and had lunch at Qianlixiang breakfast shop next to Sun Ji.Counting it, Jin Xi and Liang Yuzhong had been going to the county for less than half a month, and Cui Xique specially cooked a few extra meals for the father and daughter to catch the wind and clean the dust.

There were Liang Yuzhong, father and daughter, shopkeeper Zhang, Sun Erhu, Liang Yuzhou, Cui Xique and his wife, brother Baohong, sister Xiulan, Qin Ya, and the big guys set up a table in the small yard behind the shop, eating lively.

After lunch, everyone dispersed to do their own work. Liang Yuzhong and Jinxi made an appointment to leave for the village, and then he rushed to Sun Jina next door to check the stock in the backyard warehouse with shopkeeper Zhang.

Jin Xi stayed with Qian Lixiang, while Qinya and Xiulan washed and tidied up the dishes in the backyard. Because they were free during the two hours from lunch to dinner, Liang Yuzhou and Brother Baohong went back to the house to catch up on sleep. Cui Xique accompanied Jinxi to drink tea and gossip in the front shop.

After leaving the house for half a month, what Jinxi cares most about is the situation of the young and old in the family, because Cui's family and Jinxi's family are moving around frequently, although Cui Xique has been stationed in the shop for a long time, but her natal sister often comes to the town to sell eggs before returning home. By the way, I bought some daily necessities to go back, so Cui Xique was the most well-informed.

Jin Xi first asked her about the family's recent affairs, and learned that Mrs. Sun and the others were all well. The fourth child had a slight illness and a slight cough two days ago, and he soon recovered after taking some medicine.

Nearly a hundred chicks hatched from the side yard of Jinxi's house, and the six little piglets in the pigsty are growing well. Butler Cai and the long-term workers are busy plowing the ground these days, Like those villagers in the village who had a good harvest last year, they bought full and mature rice seeds...

Jin Xi probably knew something about it from Cui Xique, and she felt relieved, but she felt sorry for the fourth brother, and she only wanted to comfort the fourth brother when she went home in the afternoon.So, the two of them talked about what had happened in the village recently. It was nothing more than a daughter-in-law who was pregnant, and an old man who was sick and bedridden.

"The old Liang family is very tight-lipped about the crimes that your uncle committed outside, but the people in the village are still gradually aware of it. Many people have gone to my natal house to inquire about the money from your uncle. Is it really someone who digs someone's ancestral grave?" Cui Xique said: "A few days ago, when the limelight was the most intense, you went to the county town and didn't know, the men, women and children in our village talked together all day long when they had nothing to do. About this matter, someone went to your grandma to ask whether the Xiaoer Temple behind the willow grove was still repaired, and your grandma blasted it out with a big stick!"

"Hey, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The things that uncle has done have completely discredited his good reputation that he managed to turn around years ago." Jin Xi said.

"Isn't that true? A few days ago, before your grandma went to the county seat, she didn't dare to go to the village. They all poked their backs. Some villagers went to Lizheng's house, maybe they said a lot of indignant words. Li Zhengzheng went to find your father, hey, even if your uncle can come back to the village healthy and healthy three years later, I am afraid Lizheng and the villagers will not be able to accept him again, and his reputation will be completely stink!" Cui Xique Smash it and said with a mouthful.

"Everything has a cause and an effect, and this is also Uncle's own good fortune, so I can't blame others." Jin Xi shook her head and said calmly, "By the way, how is Brother Nian now?"

Cui Xique was taken aback for a moment, and then realized who Jin Xi was referring to by Brother Nian.

"Oh, you said that your uncle's illegitimate son Liang Lizheng is outside? He is living with your grandma in the east wing now!"

"What, changed your name?" Jin Xi was surprised.

"Well, I changed my name as soon as I came back. Your father said that the child should have an orthographic name in his name, and he will be able to sit upright for the rest of his life. Don't ruin himself by doing crooked ways like his father!" Cui Xique said.

Jin Xi is silent, one rice raises hundreds of kinds of people, how a person will behave in the future, many internal and external factors are involved, such as his own personality, the environment in which he grew up, and the teaching he received during the process of growing up.It has nothing to do with the name.

Of course, this wish of Old Liangtou is certainly beautiful, I hope he can come true!

A round of setting sun sank to the top of the mountain in the west, the sunset glow dyed half of the sky red, the birds returning to their nests flickered overhead, Jin Xi sat in the carriage, looked at the fields on both sides of the official road, and there were still farmers who hadn't finished their work, Gao Rolling up the trouser legs, driving the cattle to plow the ground.

The carriage soon arrived at Jinji Mountain Village. At this time, the sun had already sunk below the western hillside, and the twilight gathered from all directions. In the distance, there was a large village hidden under the big trees. One piece, there is a curl of cooking smoke filling the sky over the village.

Liang Yuzhong's carriage turned down the official road, and Jin Xi saw the familiar gate of the large courtyard ahead, and Cai Qingyang who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and the unique happiness and sense of steadfastness of returning home filled her chest.

Cai Qingyang led the carriage down, Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi went straight to the inner courtyard, Sun and the others, who heard the movement of the carriages and horses, were coming to the outer courtyard to welcome them, the two parties met at the Zhaobi where the inner and outer courtyards meet, it was a natural coincidence The warmth of family reunion.

Here, Liang Yuzhong and Jinxi have just recounted to Sun and the others what happened during their trip to the county, including the incident at Liang Yuju's private house.Outside, Mama Dong came to pass word that it was my aunt who came over.

Jin Xi is stunned, wondering who is this aunt that Mama Dong is referring to?
"It's your Aunt Mei'er." Sun explained.

"Sister, Aunt Mei'er likes to run to my house these days, either to see the third and fourth, or to learn how to wear shoes with Aunt Taozhi, it's like a different person!" Jinrou interjected.

Jin Xi is even more surprised now, Liang Yumei never stays at home in the village, does she?
Na shoes?She doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, besides, it's getting dark outside, which song is she singing?
