Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

A farce ended.

The Wu family could not extort money from the Cui family, but Wu Laoer and Erzhu were seriously ill, so they rented Uncle Mazi's ox cart and rushed to the county town for treatment.

With the facts before his eyes, the village head once again sternly warned everyone that all sick chickens were not allowed to be eaten.

It was past lunchtime, and Old Man Cui took Cui Chengliang and several children to the fields, even Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi followed.

Now the filling period has passed, and the green ears of wheat are heavy with grains. Next, the wheat will turn from green to yellow, and after the waxy period, it will enter the most exciting ripe period.

The ten days before the harvest are the most difficult.

Not only do you have to be wary of insects on the leaves and stems, but if the field is too dry or too flooded, the wheat will easily fall over, so you have to stay in the field and water it frequently with small amounts of water.

Fortunately, there are many helpers this year. Cui Jingwen and Erlang are young and have good eyesight. They are responsible for finding the insects hidden in the leaf stems and sprinkling wood ash water on them.

Old Man Cui led Silang to pull out weeds.

Wulang took Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi to catch locusts.

Three generations are busy and orderly.

In the east room, the three Lin family members sat together.

Cui Zhaozhao said, "Mom, I have something good to tell you."

Cui Jingwen was not willing to be left behind: "I also have a big thing to do."

The little gray cub crawled out groaningly, tilted his chubby body, and looked at Lin eagerly.

Lin looked at the two people and the dog, and the three pairs of bright eyes sparkled like black gems.

"Zhao Zhao, you speak first."

Cui Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows at his brother, slowly took out the silver note from his pocket, and handed it to his mother like a treasure.

"We dug up some ginseng last night and sold it for 170 taels! With that money, we can build a house!"

"Yes, before building a house, we have to buy land first. We should look for a piece of land in the village first, and then we can figure out how to build it."

The weather turned cold within two months of the beginning of autumn. There was no farm work in the village in winter, so every family stayed indoors to hibernate.

It would be nice to have a small courtyard of their own.

On snowy days, the four of us can close the door and enjoy hotpot together, or set up a stone slab and enjoy the barbecue.

This matter was put on the agenda, and Lin looked at Cui Jingwen again.

"Mom, I've discovered a business opportunity," Cui Jingwen said confidently. "The constables all raved about the shredded seaweed you made and are vying to buy some to take home. I've asked around, and no one here uses shredded seaweed as a side dish. Why don't we make some more and sell it in town? I'm sure business will be booming."

When did she make seaweed silk?

Lin turned to look at Cui Zhaozhao in confusion.

Cui Zhaozhao sighed, stood up and took out a bowl from the cupboard. When he turned around, the empty bowl was already filled with seaweed shreds.

Cui Jingwen immediately stood up: "Yes, yes, that's it!"

Lin held her forehead with her hand. It seemed that Jingwen didn't know about the mall yet, and the seaweed silk must be an excuse for Zhaozhao to secretly buy some refreshing side dishes because she couldn't eat outside.

Cui Zhaozhao took another empty bowl, placed it on the table, and said calmly, "Brother, cover your mouth first."

Cui Jingwen did as he was told, and his remaining pair of clear eyes blinked.

In a blink of an eye, the bowl was filled with milk.

Cui Jingwen looked at Cui Zhaozhao in shock as he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression.

The milk in the mall is divided into raw milk and direct drinking milk. She bought direct drinking milk, which tasted icy and cool, like it had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

Cui Jingwen was stunned.

"Do you want a drink?"

Cui Zhaozhao took another bowl and prepared to buy him half a pound of milk.

She was short and often drank milk secretly. Her mother would also mix milk into the pancakes and steamed buns she made to secretly supplement calcium for the children.

Cui Jingwen was stunned: "I, I want to drink Coke..."

"......No."

"So, what else?"

"Everything except Coke."

"Give me a bowl of Sprite."

Cui Zhaozhao was very upset and bought him half a pound of milk on her own.

Like to drink or not.

Cui Jingwen drank the cold and mellow milk, tears welling up in his eyes.

He is indeed the chosen one.

No, he is the biological brother of the Chosen One.

His sister's golden finger is the golden finger for the whole family. In this life, he is finally going to live the life he has always dreamed of!

Cui Jingwen quickly accepted his own extraordinaryness. He stood up and looked at his mother and sister with a stern look.

"Don't worry, I have already planned what's next."

Lin was speechless for a moment.

"What are your plans?"

Cui Jingwen clenched his fists and said, "First, take the imperial examination and become the top scholar. Then, move to the capital and live a life of luxury!"

Lin and Cui Zhaozhao closed their eyes at the same time.

Others take exams to realize their ambitions, but it is difficult to judge his ambition, which can be regarded as a different kind.

"Leave this to me, I will definitely pass the exam."

Human potential is unlimited.

What's more, he will definitely try his best to live a life that is within his reach.

Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I won't waste this money. Life in the village is quite comfortable. I've experienced it in my previous life. I want to live a leisurely and comfortable life in this life. When you get married and start a family, you can move anywhere you want. I won't leave."

"Mother, how could you think that? Let's go to the capital and buy a big house, like the Grand View Garden, with pavilions and towers, surrounded by mountains and water, and countless maids and servants. Life would be so rich and luxurious."

"...Can't you give me a good example?"

Cui Jingwen shrank his neck. The house he was talking about was not a story.

They will definitely not have the same ending as Dream of the Red Chamber.

Lin waved her hand and said, "It's good that you have ambitions. Mother supports you. For now, let's just live our lives step by step. As for the future, we can just take things as they come."

"By the way, don't tell anyone else about your sister. Just the three of us know about it."

Cui Jingwen patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."

After saying that, he picked up the bowl and gulped down the remaining milk.

Lin took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of seaweed and tasted it.

"Tell me more about the side dishes."

Cui Jingwen told Zhao Li and others everything they had ordered.

Lin was thoughtful after hearing this.

"It's not difficult to make this flavor, you can give it a try."

Seaweed shreds are simply shredded kelp. Lindong County, which is dozens of miles away and close to the sea, should be able to buy kelp.

All that’s left is shredding and seasoning, which isn’t difficult.

Lin immediately decided to go to Lindong County tomorrow.

In addition to kelp, there are many other seafood in the sea that can be used as side dishes, such as asparagus, sea asparagus, etc., which are very appetizing when eaten cold.

The one hundred and seventy taels of silver will be temporarily kept at the bottom of the box. Until it is needed, the existence of this money will not be disclosed.

The three Lin family members went together to see the newly acquired twenty acres of land.

It is not far from the original six acres of land and is at the foot of the mountain, so it is also very convenient to get water.

After looking at the fields, the three of them turned around and went to the headman's house.

Although life requires hard work, not everything has to be done by oneself. Moreover, there are more than 20 acres of land. Even if the three of them work hard, they may not be able to finish planting them.
