Ge Ba looked at the donkey cart with its rear lights plugged in, standing messy in the spring breeze.

Everyone else thanked him, but Miss Xu refused the general's reward.

Rejected?

Xu Tianxin understands better than anyone else that no matter in modern times or here, powerful relatives in the family will be very helpful.

Especially here, even people are divided into three, six or nine grades of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, which is only more serious and obvious than in modern times.

And the Xu family has more or less borrowed power because of their acquaintance with powerful people.

She does not shy away from this, and is very happy that because of this, she has not suffered any suppression so far.

Otherwise, you can imagine how many people will be jealous and secretly resentful if a poor peasant family with no foundation suddenly rises to power. Some people will not even block his way, just because they can't stand it and will destroy you if you stand up.

Therefore, we must admit that the Xu family has been protected by powerful people.

But Xu Tianxin felt that it was better not to take advantage of something like giving two thousand logging permits. This kind of thing can be afforded by gritting one's teeth and spending money. You can't do anything by clinging to the powerful and standing on tiptoe.

It is true that one sentence can solve our big problems, but we should not think about things like that. We should fight step by step. We can eat as much as we need. The right way is to stop and tailor things according to our own circumstances.

At this time, Mrs. Xu looked back at Geba who was messy in the wind. While waving her whip to drive the car, she smiled and said something more straightforward than her granddaughter:

"After all, those powerful people like the general are not related by blood to our family, but they just look familiar.

Let’s not be in a relationship with someone. Even if we are in a relationship, we can’t accept everything. It will make people feel shameless, not to mention that we are not in a relationship yet.

Dabao, you are right to say no. People want face, trees want bark, and if our family can lift the pot, Nai still wants face.

Do you want to trouble the one named Ge Ji? Emma, ​​the name of the general is too poor, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, the singer will have to go to trouble to send back the logging certificate."

When Xu Tianxin heard her nickname for someone else, Ge Ji turned into a singer and burst out laughing.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin entered the village in the evening, and their grandfather and grandson were still humming along the way: "Where is spring? Where is spring? Spring is in the green mountains and forests, and there are those little orioles that can sing..."

The full table was far away and he ran out into the howling spring breeze. He lost his turban and patted his thighs and shouted: "Oh my god, sister, you are in Leijiawo Gaha, why did you stay here for so long?"

go home?"

From the words spoken all over the table, one can definitely tell that she really misses her elder sister.

Because in the Northeast, asking you "Haha" means I miss you.

If it were changed to ah or gaha, it would mean that it annoys you.

Lao Zhai also threw down his hoe excitedly, ran a few steps forward in a daze, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Tian, ​​Tian..."

After calling out "Tian Xin" several times, but still not able to say a complete sentence "Tian Xin", he enthusiastically stretched out his hand to grab the donkey and helped Xu Tian Xin unload the car.

And do you think he gave up?

When all the things in the car were unloaded and Xu Tianxin was surrounded by a group of old ladies, Old Zhai Tou held back the second half of his sentence: "...Xin'er."

Lao Zhaitou has some persistence in him. It doesn't matter if he stutters, as long as he can finish what he said, it doesn't matter if it's late.

Xu Tianxin was grabbed by Grandma Da'ezi's hand and praised: "Don't you think this is a strange thing? Did I see it wrong? The child has only been gone for a few days. Why do I feel like it's like a crop seedling? I've been wrong for a long time."

Quite a bit tall. Is he five feet tall?"

Cai Baozi affirmed: "You read that right, I think I can have four-foot legs even though I'm five feet tall. Those people who used to say behind my back that Tian Xin is not tall will all regret it."

The eggplant bun wife and the second lazy daughter-in-law couldn’t help but praise: “Going to Lei’s home seems to have changed a lot. In the past, our Tian Xin had a starry face, with small spots all over our face. To be honest, I didn’t look like that before.

They all have a bit of a toothache.”

Old Mrs. Xu thought to herself: If you want to praise, then praise it well: "Why, who has chewed it before? And it's all a piece of cake."

Tsk tsk, if not for Miss Seven-Star Ladybug Hua, she is the second best in picking problems and no one would dare to be the first.

"No, I always make the decision. Just listen to what I have to say. Looking at it now, your Tian Xin's little face has turned white unconsciously, as if we had been frosted in autumn. In the past, we were at home.

You can’t notice it every day for a few days, but after being away for a few days, suddenly, it’s like a big change.”

"It's not frost, it's like egg white." If it's frost, sometimes it's frost in local areas. You use this word to describe the skin tone as if it's uneven.

"Ah, yes, it's like egg white. Anyway, it's just a sentence. I'm optimistic that there are only two kinds of good granddaughters. One should be like Tian Xin, and the other should be like her. Such a granddaughter.

, whichever family has it will be blessed."

After the eggplant bun wife finished speaking, she still put warm sleeves in her hands, touched the old lady Xu with her elbow and asked: "The boss is always in charge, do you think it's okay for me to be so nagging?"

That's great. If you chatter like this, you'll be very lovable and your emotional value will be maxed out.

"Don't you need to pull it up further?"

"No need. If you praise me any more, it will overflow. It's time to praise your bald skin." Mrs. Xu pointed at the women and laughed.

"By the way, isn't my Xiaoqin here in the shop? Neither are my silly boys and grandsons?"

At this time, Yu Qiniang was pregnant and did not delay working. She was plowing in the vegetable garden at home.

If people are diligent, spring comes early, and farmers come first.

Yu Qiniang plowed the ground in the vegetable garden at home, while the old lady used a shovel to dig up the ground where she was going to build a new house.

According to the old lady, no matter how many new houses are built, vegetables must be planted first.

She asked Youyin to draw a circle for her, setting aside a place for building a house and digging a foundation. She planned to cultivate the rest to grow vegetables.

The first vegetables that Lao Xu’s family will plant in spring are onions and garlic.

The family owns a restaurant, and no matter what the season, it is indispensable to stir-fry onions and garlic. Her second daughter-in-law also likes to sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions before the dishes are served, so the old lady plans to add more onions and garlic.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old lady is bending over to mix the onion seeds with soil. If Xu Tianxin were here, he would definitely ask curiously: "Tainai, why are you mixing with soil? Why don't you just sprinkle the vegetables on it?"

Are you afraid that the strong wind will blow the rapeseed away?"

This is a child who has never done farm work.

When Xu Tianxin sometimes asked, the old lady would often sigh secretly, "The child doesn't seem to be a living person at first glance. What will he do if he gets married in the future? Even with Bai Xiucai's family background, he still has to eat vegetables and cultivate the land."

Well, the old lady seemed to have noticed that Bai Xiucai had fallen in love with her great-granddaughter, but she didn't dare to tell anyone that she knew it, for fear that the second daughter-in-law would scold her for being nonsense. In fact, she could tell that there were several couples in the village, and they were flirting with each other.

of.

Tian Xin is too young, so it’s better not to mention it. Otherwise, if she mentions it, she will be easily distracted and will miss reading and making money. There is a daughter in the family, and our family is not in a hurry. Besides, some things are not urgent. She lives.

With such a long age, I feel more and more that getting married is not a business. As long as our family's life is not good, it will not be good to marry.

After scattering the onion seeds, the old lady started digging the ground with a spade.

In addition to planting onions and garlic in the first crop, she also planted potatoes and sweet potatoes. The sweet potato seedlings have already been raised. There are also cucumber seeds, pepper seeds, celery, beans, spinach, lettuce, rape, leeks, Chinese cabbage, etc. The old lady has finished raising the seedlings.

Every day, I water and keep warm as carefully as I would a baby. These are the things that will be planted in the second crop.

In the Northeast, crops can be grown for one season, and the land must be used rationally.

At this time, the old lady was very tired. She wiped the sweat from her head and thought: Daughter-in-law, are you going to wait for me to turn all these open spaces into vegetable gardens before coming back? Emma, ​​I am going to be exhausted.

Everyone is still tired, and there is a lot of open space here. The main reason is that she is still a little hungry.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the group of half-year-old children in the village who were digging for earthworms and poop shouting: "Sister Tian Xin is back!"

The old lady threw away the spade, and her daughter-in-law and great-granddaughter finally came back. It was time for her family to cook a good meal seriously, so she hurried home to cook.

When Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin entered the village, they learned that Liu Laozhu divided the villagers into two groups. One group dug ditches near the newly purchased wasteland in the village to avoid drought and water shortage for irrigation. When ditches were dug, river water would be diverted.

Another group of villagers is paving the road.

Liu Jingdong started school, and now he no longer thinks about going to school. He goes home after school every day, and then pulls stones home by car. Later, he saves more, so he just takes advantage of the cold weather to build a house without digging the foundation.

Officially planting crops will pave the way.

Moreover, the scene was quite large, with layers of stones filled with soil and sand, and the ground was pressed with round rollers like stone mills.

"All the sons-in-law from our village are back?"

Liu Laozhu reported to Mrs. Xu: "Well, aren't they all here waiting to build a house and get paid for it? I said that we can't dig the foundation right now, and the house may not be strong, but don't be idle, and support their father-in-law and mother-in-law's quota.

, come and work for our village, let their father-in-law and mother-in-law do some light work, we cannot let the father-in-law provide food for free."

"Where's the fourth uncle?"

"The fourth uncle led them to build boats. Your third son and your eldest grandson Dapeng followed them up the mountain to cut birch trees..."

Liu Laozhu reported to Mrs. Xu one by one that Xu Laoer, Xu Youyin and Dali were building a plank road up the mountain.

The so-called plank road is to repair a large number of weeds, sprinkle anti-animal medicine around it, and then level the ground and pave the steps with stones.

It was built until you can see the shops at the bottom of the mountain and the river in the distance. A birch log cabin was built in the middle of the mountain to provide a resting place for hunting or for businessmen to drink tea and hunt roe deer, pheasants and hares.

.

Even Guan Erbald is not idle, and is following Mrs. Xu's request to prevent people from other villages from poaching her mother-in-law.

Erdaohe Village plans to lead from the shops to the river, with small yellow dandelion flowers blooming along the roadside. At the foot of the mountain behind the shops and houses, purple lilacs will bloom in a few days to welcome the spring. Then the fireflies all over the sky will look up again at night.

Looking at the sea of ​​flowers under the big moon, it is so beautiful.

But dandelions will not be wasted after they have bloomed. In Guan Ertu’s eyes, everything is a treasure. At this time, he was teaching the girls who came to pick wild flowers after work:

"Dandelions are cool in nature. After admiring the flowers for the merchants, we will pick the flowers and steam them for a while. This will be the dried tea. When drinking, add some ginger. Don't peel the ginger. The roots of the dandelion should also be dried.

When made into tea, it is very effective in removing heat."

The girls nodded and took notes while continuing to pick purple wild boar tooth flowers in the fields. They planned to pick them, dry them, grind them into powder, and give them to Tian Xin'er for coloring the saponins.

In a few days, when lilacs, hawthorns, wild roses and other flowers will also bloom, they will have to pick in large quantities. This time they have experience. Tian Xin said that the focus this year is to develop facial wipes.

of flower dew.

The news of Xu Tianxin's return spread word of mouth among the villagers and reached the ears of the uncles of the Xu family on the mountain and the ears of the working girls. Guan Ertuo tore off the newly bloomed dandelions, gathered a handful of them, and headed back.
