In early September, the Xu family had already planted the sticks. Wenhan, Zixuan and Pengcheng all went to the county school to study. Zhiming and Wencheng took the sticks dried from the Xu family to the south, but they also collected some of the sticks, but the cost was too small, so they could not bring too much. The price of Zhiming and Wencheng was one percent higher than that of these local people, so some villagers were not in a hurry to use money, so they said that Zhiming would take them first and then give them money when they came back. Zhiming and nephew had made more than 400 kilograms of sticks left, and the Xu family's sticks alone had about 200 kilograms.

Xue and Zhu also returned to the town. Jingya got married in October, so of course she had to prepare well. Jinghan, Jingxian and Mingyu all followed her back to the town, and even Honglian and others were with her. Only Zhixin and the two families were left on the mountain. There was no ginseng seeds on the mountain, and there were still some work. Zhixin was worried and wanted to watch it on the mountain.

The Lin family’s winery has started construction, and the new grain has just arrived in autumn. Lin Xing’s family has collected a lot of grain and stored it. The Xing family also has a younger brother named Xingye, which is the Erlin that Xue mentioned at the time. Erlin’s wife is a bit sarcastic and greedy for cheapness, so she divided the family early. The Xing family has two sons and one daughter, and the biggest one is Zixuan. Zixuan is studying in the county, so of course there is no one in the family. So Zhixin sent Guoan, Guoqiang and Anping to the winery. There are not many people living in winter anyway, so there is no need for so many people here.

Jinghan returned to the town and had nothing to do, so she helped Xue to work on some of the things that her elder sister got married. Although she was not a big family, the marriage was really not too simple, so all kinds of things were very complicated.

Huixin gave birth to a girl, and the moon was full on September 19th. At this time, the New Year was full of children, so she told Huixin that Huixin would not let Huixin have another child in the future. Huixin agreed, but she wanted to have two more children in her heart. There were too few children and the family was not lively.

On the morning of nineteen, the old man and Chen took their family members to Qingnian's house.

Chen liked the white and tender baby on the kang very much. He took out a golden lock piece that had been prepared long ago and hung it on the child's neck. Then he held the child in his arms, and no one gave it to him. "Oh, I saw a little baby again. Look at her little mouth, little nose and small eyes, she will definitely be a handsome girl in the future. Celebrate the New Year, have you named the child?"

"Mom, I've named it Chuqing, which means Chuqing after the rain." Qingnian said with a smile.

Everyone said that the name was good, and Jinghan thought it was pretty good. After the rain, the artistic conception was also very good. "Grandma, just hug me my sister. You haven't let go since you came here. It's time for us to hug me." Jinghan looked at the snow-white and pink little girl, and she liked it very much, so she wanted to hug her.

Chen said reluctantly, "Then you hug me for a while. You kids are frivolous, don't hurt Xiao Chuqing." The old lady reminded her inconveniently.

Jinghan took the child from his grandmother and hugged it in his arms. This little guy was quite worry-free and didn't cry when he hugged him. He looked around with big black eyes.

Jingxian and Mingyu also came to Jinghan and rushed to see the child. "Sister, this girl is so fun. Look at her hand, it's so small."

"Okay, Jinghan, the child is still too young and cannot be held for too long, otherwise it will be bad for the child's waist. Let's put it down first, we have not given the full moon gift we have prepared yet." Xue said from the side.

After hearing what his mother said, Jinghan had to put the child on the kang. Xue took out a pair of small silver bracelets and brought it to Chuqing. Zhu took out a pair of anklets, with two bells on it, and also brought it to the child. Han did not fall behind, so he took out a silver collar. Now, Xiao Chuqing had a lot of things hanging on her body.

"Sister-in-law, look at you, such a little child, how can you use these gold and silver to prepare?" Huixin said quickly when she saw this.

"What's the matter? You are the only girl in our family. This is the full moon gift for us aunts to our niece. Now our family is not the same as before. It's good to make some clothes. These silver things can be taken out. Of course, we can't lose our little Chuqing, right?" Xue said while teasing the little baby.

The family was chatting here with warm and affectionate conversation, and Honglian and the others were going to the kitchen to help, but Qingnian stopped him. "No, we are still placing wine in the restaurant today, not at home. My place is not enough, so I will be busy at that time, so I will be troublesome."

When Chen heard this, he nodded, and then said to Honglian, "You go to the kitchen and help get two tables of food. Their men go to the restaurant, we can still be at home. There are few people and they are comfortable."

Honglian nodded and led Hong Shao and the other two out. Qingnian's family now has not only that Sun's wife, but also bought two little girls. Qingnian is now the shopkeeper, and the family can afford to support people, which just allows Huixin to take a good rest. Several girls are organizing lunch meals in the kitchen.

At the beginning of the Si lunar month, many people came from the Tao family, including neighbors, colleagues or friends from Qingnian. By the time of Si lunar month, Qingnian saw that the people had almost arrived, so they took everyone to a nearby restaurant. After the men left, Chen led a few nearby wives and the women from the Xu family to set up two tables at home, and everyone had a meal together.

After having the full moon wine of Chuqing, Zhu said that it would be better to take Huixin and her mother back to the Xu family directly, and it was just right to move to the confinement period. Chen thought about it and thought it was okay. She was with such people, and she was not afraid of any mistakes. It happened that Qingnian and they came back from drinking in the restaurant. As soon as everyone discussed, they agreed to move to the confinement period today.

So Sister Xue quickly helped clean up, and everyone drove the ox cart and took Huixin and daughter and Jinghui back to the Xu family. Qingnian did not follow him, and they lived in the town. You can go to the Xu family at any time, and there is no need to follow him at this time. Besides, there is still a lot of things to deal with in Renji Hall, and Qingnian has no time to always follow Huixin. It just so happened that Huixin returned to her parents' home, so Qingnian could feel more at ease.

On September 22, Zhiming and Wencheng who went out came back. The guardian Lao Wang saw that his second master and second master were back, and he was so happy. He quickly helped to drive the carriage into the yard, "Second Master, Second Master, you can go into the house quickly, I will do it here."

Zhiming and Wencheng came to the house where the old man lived. As soon as they entered the house, Xue and Zhu were chatting there. Zhu looked up and saw her husband and son. "The father of the child, Wencheng, you are back. Why are you so fast this time?" They went out before, but they couldn't come back for more than a month.

The old man and the old lady also noticed the father and son at this time, "The third man and the third man are back. Come quickly and get on the kang." The old man said,

Zhiming and his wife did not go to the kang, but sat on the edge of the kang, "Dad, Mom, I'm back. This time I went to Anguo, and happened to meet a large merchant from the south, who took all the more than 400 kilograms of sticks we brought. He also asked for other medicinal materials and asked us to help him collect medicinal materials here. We were worried that Jingya was going to get married, so we didn't delay outside. After collecting some medicinal materials that we didn't have, we came back quickly.

"Zhiming talked about the matter of going out this time. "This year's sticks are sold at a very good price. One pound can sell six taels of silver, which is two or three times higher than ours. We sold these sticks of more than 400 pounds in total. If we hadn't met this big merchant, it would have been good enough to sell four or five taels. In the past, this person never went to Anguo, but this year he suddenly wanted to go over and take a look, but he didn't expect that we would meet him."

When the old man heard this, he was very happy, "Okay, it's good to sell more. Third, did you not give me money when you left? Go back to the village to give it to others tomorrow. As I mean, I will raise the price by 100%. After all, they can trust us so that we can take the knives away first. What do you think?" The old man is a real person. Now the market here is that it's great that a pound of knives can be sold for more than two taels of silver. The knives collected by Zhiming are calculated at 2 and a half pounds per pound, which is already much higher than the local ones. If this increases, it will be a lot.

Zhiming nodded without thinking, "Cheng, dad, you can do whatever you say. They are all fellow villagers in the same village, and we can't make ourselves rich and cheat others. We have to collect more sticks in the future, and it must be higher than others. So, can we calculate it based on two taels and eight coins?"

The old man nodded, "Sure, let's do it. I also know that it's not easy for you to go out. Those who go out can't eat well and live well, and you can't worry about bringing the money with you? This is much higher than selling it to others. I think there is nothing to say about the Wu family and the Li family." How could the old man not feel sorry for his children and grandchildren? Looking at his son's journey, he felt uncomfortable. "By the way, where are the medicinal materials you collected? Have you brought them back?"

"No, we all sold them. On the way back, we sold them all. The price was pretty good, and we just turned over. But we collected a little less at that time, and we only collected 1,000 taels of medicinal materials." Zhiming said with a little regret. This was the second time they went out to buy medicinal materials. There were many things they didn't understand, so they didn't dare to charge them too much. Unexpectedly, many medicinal materials were very expensive in the north, and several medicinal shops rushed to ask for the medicinal materials they brought back. At this moment, the medicinal materials were sold, and it turned into two thousand taels.

"Grandpa, my father and I plan to wait until Jingya gets married and go to the south again. Now there are still many people in our village who have not sold their sticks. We will go back and take a look and collect some when we have time. This winter, we have to make more money by consuming medicinal materials back and forth several times this winter. "Wencheng said excitedly.
