Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

After the Moon Festival, Chen Changjiang and Changshui's families officially put house building on the agenda. They asked the temple master Yu to choose an auspicious day to worship the land and mountain gods of all parties, and then officially started construction.

"I have lived here for decades, and now it is being demolished. I feel so sad that I can't express it in words." Old Mrs. Chen could not hide her sadness as she watched the old house disappear.

Seeing her mother-in-law sad, Li comforted her, "Mother, why are you still crying? This is a good thing, a big thing, we should be happy."

"Yes, it's a good thing, a very good thing. I'm very happy." He said while laughing and wiping his tears.

After calming down, he said to Li: "Have you put your things in order?"

Mrs. Li: "Yueya, Yueli and the other sisters are still sorting things out at Mr. Ma's place. I didn't notice much of it before, but now that we've come out, I realize how much there is."

Mrs. Chen: "Of course there weren't many before, but this year, the house is full of gifts from so many people. I don't use them on a daily basis, I just keep them. So after moving and sorting them out, there are naturally more."

"That's right. I usually thought that our house was too small, but these past few days I realized that there were too many things." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while and then went to Mr. Ma's house together.

"We'll go to the workshop later and tidy up the sleeping area. Even though it's temporary, it has to look presentable." Old Mrs. Chen has been particular all her life, and she keeps everything inside and outside the house tidy.

Li smiled and said, "I understand, mother. Even if we live in a shack, it must be clean and tidy."

"And those livestock, the harvested Qin peppers, and the rice, flour, and dried vegetables must all be stored. Food is precious and we must not forget." Old Mrs. Chen chattered all the way.

Mrs. Li was also filial and patient: "Mother, don't worry. These things were packed up two days ago and moved over by Madam Xu and the others. The livestock, Changshui, Changjiang, Shuanghu, and Zhao Qian have also been settled. You can rest assured."

Old Mrs. Chen slapped her forehead and sighed, "Alas, I can't remember things when I'm old."

"Mom, you are not very old, and you still need to worry about things at home and outside."

"You are all my children. How can I ever stop worrying about you?"

~~~~~~~~~

"Lijing, why is it so lively outside?" Old Madam Zhang, who had been recuperating, couldn't help but ask her grandson when she saw how lively it was outside.

Zhang Lijing mumbled, "Sister Qingning's family is building a new house, and they're moving things."

"Oh, the groundbreaking ceremony is today. Is your grandfather going to help?"

"Well, I don't know."

Madam Zhang smiled helplessly: "Forget it, go and have fun. Don't make trouble, okay? If there is anything you can do, just help."

Zhang Lijing shook his head: "I am accompanying my grandmother, and she is feeling bad."

"Grandma is much better now. I'll be able to go out for a walk soon. Grandma, if you're tired, take a nap. You can go now."

Seeing that his grandmother looked tired, Zhang Lijing didn't dare to disturb her and went out obediently.

After her grandson left, Mrs. Zhang did not fall asleep. She stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Since they came to Chenjia Village, Mr. Ma's amazing skills have cured her chronic illness. She has been carefully cared for every day and her complexion has improved visibly.

Her husband was appreciated and became a teacher, and her grandson was able to go to school and learn to read. She felt less worried and her depression was mostly gone.

It's just that lately, her head has been aching, and some inexplicable images have popped up, but they always flash by. She doesn't know what these images are. Maybe they are from her past experiences, or maybe they are just some empty dreams.

I consulted Mr. Ma, who said that it was due to a previous head injury, and some memories or images were lost and regained, or dreams reappeared.

"Forget it, it's fine now." He sighed softly as if to comfort himself, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Busy days always pass quickly. The construction of the new house here is in full swing, and the workshop business over there is also in full swing.

September had already arrived, the time for the harvest. Although there had been floods this summer, fortunately, we had taken timely measures to remedy the situation, and although we had planted a little late, we had a good harvest.

Funan Prefecture has a unique geography, with four distinct seasons and two bountiful harvests a year. If it were not for natural disasters or man-made calamities, it would be considered a land of fish and rice.

"During these three days of harvest holiday, you should all go to the fields to work, but you must not neglect your studies, okay?" the teacher said to everyone.

"I understand, Master."

"It's all gone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the children in the school scattered like free birds.

"Brother, are we going back in the next three days?" Xue Luo asked Xue Shu.

Xue Shu: "I'm not going back. I'm staying in the village to help the villagers harvest grain."

"Great, I thought so too. I'll send someone back to deliver a message to my parents." Although Xue Luo is a rich lady, she is very down-to-earth.

Looking at his sister like this, Xue Shu was a little worried that when she grew up, she would also want to leave home.

Meng Er and his companions had some experience after all, and were often trained by their grandfather, so they were able to do farm work with ease.

But Xue Shu and his sister didn't have it so easy.

"My hand is cut." Xue Luo looked at the scratches of varying depths on her hand, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Qi Qiao felt sorry for her daughter, so she quickly held her girl's hand and looked at it carefully. When she saw that the white and tender hand was covered with red marks, she cried even more fiercely than Xue Luo.

"Miss, your hand is injured like this, so don't work anymore. Go and rest. I'll apply medicine to you when I get home tonight, and I'll do the rest of the work."

Xue Luo: "What can you do with your small body? Forget it, let's do it together. I'll be careful. If it doesn't work, I'll go back and apply more ointment at night."

Qi Qiao cried even harder when she heard this. "The girl has been so good to me. I can't let her get hurt again."

Qiqiao's crying could hardly fail to attract other people's attention.

"What happened? Why is Qiqiao crying so sadly? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Xue Shu was the closest and came over first.

Qi Qiao: "Da Lang~ wuwuwu~ no~ no~ no~ no~ feeling~ uncomfortable, it's~ just~ that~ the girl is~ so~ good~ to me!"

Xue Shu looked puzzled and looked at his sister with a frown.

Xue Luo had no idea what Qi Qiao was getting at, so she could only look at him and say "I don't know."

Guo Xian and Shu Qing also gathered around and looked at Qi Qiao worriedly.

A few people waited until she had cried enough before asking what happened.

Qi Qiao told the story again, which made several people feel sympathy for her.

"My silly Qiqiao~ why are you so adorable?" Xue Luo couldn't help but pinch her face with her hands.

"This girl is a simple-minded person. It's okay, it's okay. If you two are tired, just take a rest. The scar on your girl's hand is okay. You can apply some ointment when you go back, and it won't leave any marks. Be good and wipe your tears." Shu Qing was much older than the two of them, so she was naturally calmer.

Xue Luo and Qi Qiao were only seven or eight years old, and they followed behind to do some light work, but it was inevitable that there would be gentian and dry weeds in the fields.

"You all should take a rest. The sun is out and it's very hot. You girls are so delicate that you can't stand such sunshine." Xue Shu felt sorry for them when he saw their fair and tender faces turned red by the sun and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

"Qingzhu and the others didn't complain of being tired, even Lijing and Qingning didn't say anything, so how could we be lazy? Brother Xue, don't worry, we can just do the work in the shade of the trees." Guo Xian was also tired, but she felt embarrassed. She felt embarrassed that children of four or five years old were helping her in the fields.

"Miss Xian, you are not used to doing this kind of farm work in your daily life. It's amazing that you have persisted until now on your first time in the fields. It's okay, you can go and rest, we will take care of it. If you really feel bad, please pour some water for us." Qingsong had just moved two bundles of rice over and heard their conversation when he passed by them.

A few people responded happily and went to pour water and bring bowls.
