farming female castellan

Chapter 125
Chen Fan didn't go to find Widow Shen right away, she didn't communicate with Widow Shen as frequently as Han.She will go out in the next few days, let's talk about it when she comes back.

Liu Dingkang and Liu Chenfeng returned to the city and gave the old lady a pair of bracelets.

"Grandma (Grandma), we made this with our own hands." The two said in unison.

The old lady laughed from ear to ear: "Really? You are so sensible and capable." As she spoke, she patted the heads of the two children.

They also gave Aunt Xie and Rong a wooden hairpin each.Rong happily put the hairpin in her bun: "Does it look good?"

"Mother is so pretty!" Liu Chenfeng's mouth was very sweet.

Aunt Xie didn't put it on right away, she stroked the hairpin: "Is this made by Kang Er himself? It's really well done!"

Liu Dingkang nodded excitedly.

The old lady immediately followed up with a compliment: "These two children are really skillful in their hands, and the gifts they made by themselves are very precious."

"What kind of wood is this?" Aunt Xie asked.

"Rosewood. Bracelets and hairpins are made of rosewood." Liu Dingkang said.

Rong smiled: "This is precious wood. I wear this hairpin, but it has a long face."

The old lady also smiled: "The hairpin style is also pretty, simple and grand."

Liu Chenfeng was a little embarrassed: "I'm not good enough at the craft now, so I can only make some simple styles first. This style is still drawn by my uncle."

Rong felt very surprised: "Can he also draw jewelry?"

"Yeah, yum," Liu Chenfeng nodded in admiration, "He drew several pictures, all of which are very beautiful. But we can only do some simple ones."

Aunt Xie's eyes flashed: "Miss Chen has so many good things. Where did she hide them and bring them here? When she entered Liu's house, she was wearing clothes."

The old lady looked at her and said nothing.

"This is what my brother-in-law brought back from outside, and gave each of us a piece. The grandmother's bracelet is another piece of wood that my brother-in-law took out." Liu Dingkang said.

In fact, those woods were taken out by Chen Fan from the space.

"Then what did the other children do with wood?" Aunt Xie asked.

Liu Dingkang thought for a while, "I don't know about the girls. They didn't learn how to carve. The boys are just the two of us. They put away the wood, and I haven't seen them carve."

"Just the two of you sculpting, will it delay your studies?" Aunt Xie didn't think about it.

The old lady opened her eyes, but held back her words.

"There is no delay, we all do it during the break time." Liu Dingkang said.

"They will also endorse the purpose of the question during the break time?" Aunt Xie said.

Liu Dingkang didn't answer, which means he acquiesced.Aunt Xie's face darkened.

After sitting with the old lady for a while, everyone went back to their courtyards.Aunt Xie went into Liu Dingkang's room and said, "Kang'er still has to focus on his studies, and Aunt Xie is pointing at you to get a good reputation as soon as possible."

Liu Dingkang looked at her: "I'm only seven years old, do you think I can read books all day long?"

Aunt Xie was stunned: "Aren't the children in the school studying all day long?"

"Auntie, don't you know that many people are just pretending to be absent-minded?" Liu Dingkang asked back.

Aunt Xie didn't know how to refute.

"Skillful ingenuity, dexterity is the soul. It is always good to have strong hands-on ability. Our daily study is not easy, and no one dares not to concentrate on studying. Auntie can rest assured. I don't want to listen to it again and again. Until you doubt my study progress." Liu Dingkang said seriously.

Aunt Xie looked at her son stupidly: "Kang'er, you didn't talk to me in this tone before."

Liu Dingkang snuggled into her arms: "Auntie, don't worry about my studies, and don't think about what those children in the school learn. They can't learn what I learn. My brother-in-law will come to give advice to Brother Fifteen whenever he is free. If Auntie annoys Eldest Sister, brother-in-law will not be so kind to Brother Fifteen."

Aunt Xie was dizzy again from what her son said.

"That Mr. Zhang said that there is hope to take the next exam at fifteen?" Aunt Xie couldn't believe it.

"That's what Brother Fifteen said. He has lost weight recently. Every time his brother-in-law comes, he has to write a few extra articles and read the book thoroughly. The Liu family will soon have a Jinshi." Liu Dingkang Distressed and happy.

Aunt Xie didn't speak any more, she just hugged her son quietly.

Knowing that the two children were going on a long trip, the Liu family prepared a lot of things for them and packed a carriage.

Chen Fan is also ready.Xiuniang and Master Yang stayed at home, her niece Qingtang and Granny Zhou followed.Zhang Ci also went with them this time, bringing Chu Sheng and Xiang Jian with them.

There are a lot of people, and four carriages are prepared: one for loading, one for boys, two for girls, and Granny Zhou.Zhang Ci and Chu Sheng rode horses.

This is the first time for the children to travel across counties as a family, and they are all a little excited.The older children took turns riding horses, watching and talking about the scenery on the roadside.

After walking for a long time, they arrived at Mustang Mountain.When the children saw the terraced fields, they all howled like wolf cubs.

The rice has turned yellow, and it is spread layer by layer on the hillside, sandwiched with green rice leaves, shining golden and emerald green in the bright sun at noon.

"It's so beautiful! It's like a staircase!" Chen Ya was always at the forefront of exclaiming and praising.

"Why is this rice so short?" Several people from the countryside discovered the clue.

"Go and have a look." Chen Zhongyan took the lead and ran over.A group of children huffed and ran away.

Zhang Ci and Xiang Jian followed, and Chen Fan led the others into the garden.She built several houses on the fields of Yema Mountain and Qijiadu.

Both Chu Sheng and Xiang Jian have come here to deliver pasture.Chen Fan's pigs, cattle and sheep couldn't eat much of the pasture grass in the tens of acres of land, and most of it was sent to other fields.There is also a lot of pasture that is dried into hay or made into silage.

Chu Sheng was feeding the horses, Xiang Jian was inspecting the garden, Chen Fan and the others took some ingredients and seasonings from the carriage, and started making lunch.

The children didn't run down the hill dully.After running for a few steps, they stopped, looked at the terraced fields under their feet, drew frames on the terraced fields with their fingers, and then ran along the ridges in circles.Then, run a few levels higher.

"These terraces are really interesting, big and small, long and short." Chen Zhongliang said.

By the time they climbed to the top of the mountain, they had already run around the mountain almost twice.

"Wow! There is a waterfall!" Everyone cheered again.

The top of the mountain was not made into a field, but some trees were planted.The big pond is no longer a bare circle of stones, but surrounded by green trees.The willow trees are very lush, and the long willow silk gently brushes the water.There are many unknown wild flowers blooming on the shore, which are colorful and really beautiful.

The children began to pick wild flowers, and Zhang Ci also made a bunch of them into a garland.Everyone thought it was very beautiful, and they made garlands one after another and put them on their heads.

"What's that?" Chen Zhonglin asked, pointing to the green leaves on the sweet potato ground.

"That's sweet potatoes. We're here to dig sweet potatoes," Zhang Ci said.
