Chapter 310 Qiulin Seasickness
At dinner time, Xu Nandi's father and son, who had been freshly washed, sat together with Xu Nanshan's family.After wandering for so many years, it was the first time for Xu Nandi and the others to eat at the table. They all felt a little uncomfortable, rubbing their hands and pinching their clothes there, looking a little nervous.

When Xu Nanshan saw it, his heart hurt for a while. "Brother, Qiu Qiuya, you don't have to feel restrained. We have made a lot of delicious food at home today, so you can eat with your stomach open."

Soon, hot meals were served on the table.There are braised rabbit meat, spicy chicken, lotus leaf chicken, braised chicken legs and chicken feet, chicken stewed mushrooms, steamed sausages, braised fish nuggets, lotus root starch balls, sausages, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, mapo tofu, fried water spinach, fried loofah, Fried cucumbers.A smell of food wafted through the whole room.

Xu Nandi, father and son hadn't tasted such a delicious meal for many years, and they were so greedy that their saliva was drooling.Seeing this, Xu Nanshan felt sour in his heart.I picked up a chicken leg for each of them, and said distressedly: "Hurry up and eat. Brother, your arm is injured, eat these things tonic, and the injury will scab over in a few days."

Xu Nandi, father and son stared at the chicken legs in the bowl, and without a moment's hesitation, they picked it up and began to chew.Their actions were very rude, and before they swallowed what was in their mouths, they began to bite the stewed pork again.That look really can be described as gobbling.

Seeing this, the two women who were waiting on the side couldn't help feeling contemptuous and contemptuous.These people are reincarnated from starvation, they eat so rudely!
But Xu Nanshan and the others saw sympathy and pity in their eyes, Xu Nanshan scooped up soup for everyone, "Eat slowly, drink some soup first." Brother and the others must have suffered a lot outside, Some clues can be seen from their eating habits.

After the meal, Xu Nandi, his father and son were in a state of dismay, and ate most of the delicious food on the table.Seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Xu Nandi felt a little embarrassed, and rubbed his hands awkwardly to explain: "I'm sorry, I..." In the past few years, they have been picking up leftovers, moldy steamed buns, I ate the pancakes that fell on the ground. I have never eaten such a delicious meal.

He was really too afraid of that kind of dark day.Only when the stomach is full can there be a certain sense of reality.Looking at the delicacies on the table just now, he didn't think about anything, he just wanted to fill his stomach.After he regained his composure, he realized that the father and son were the only people at the table moving their chopsticks.Xu Nandi was embarrassed and wanted to find a hole in the ground to drill down.

Seeing the table full of dishes entering the Wu Zang Temple of Xu Nandi, father and son, Han felt mixed feelings. "Brother, we are a family, what are you sorry for? Qiu Qiuya, are you two still hungry? Do you want to cook some more noodles?"

Qiu Ya and Qiu Ya were not as good as they used to be, so they nodded obediently now, "Second Aunt, we are full."

Knowing that Xu Nanshan's Han family treated him sincerely, Xu Nandi was overwhelmed with gratitude.At this moment, when the emotions came up, I was crying again.

Qiu Song sat upright, looked at Xu Nandi and said, "Uncle, now that you have returned to your homeland, I hope you will be able to plow the fields well in the future and live a peaceful and beautiful life."

Xu Nandi has also suffered a lot outside these years, and now he can give him such an opportunity to live and work in the fields, and live the days of farming from sunrise to sunset, he already feels that it is a favor from God.Xu Nandi put away his tears and nodded solemnly. From now on, he has been working hard to farm and live a peaceful and beautiful life.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Han pulled out Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Cao to help Xu Nandi tidy up their yard.The job of raising silkworms is not hard work, but rather trivial.With two people missing, everyone is still busy.

When Qiu Song came home this time, he only took a few days off. He and his wife stayed at home for a few days, and then rushed to Stone City.They also want to stay at home for a longer time, but this time entering the officialdom is like an ocean, how can they do things according to their own wishes?
This time at the parting, Han did not cry as much as in the past.It's just that there are still tears in her eyes. This time, she only got along with her grandson for a few days, and she had to separate. How could she be willing?But there is no way to bear it.Whenever it was time to say goodbye, Han always complained in his heart why he asked Qiusong to be the examiner in the first place.But it was just her own whining in her heart.

After Qiusong left, Qiuyue was also taken back by Zhang Cheng.The daughter is now married to someone else, and Qiuyue has a home of her own in the water that the married daughter poured out, so she can't let her stay with her natal family all the time, can she?How this affects the harmony between husband and wife!After the eldest daughter and second son left, Xu Nandi's family also moved back to their own yard, and the noisy yard finally returned to its former tranquility.

At first, everyone felt a little uncomfortable, but gradually got used to it.

The fields of Xu Nandi's family are still there, but they have been abandoned in the past few years, and the fields are full of weeds.Now Qiu Ya and Qiu Ya are not as scouring as before, and they also know how to dig the ground with a hoe and level the land together with Xu Nandi.Now that the season for planting seedlings and vegetables has passed, after digging out the land, we can only grow wheat.

Because Xu Nandi, father and son had been away from home for many days, the furniture and utensils in the house were taken and smashed.Apart from a few tile-roofed houses, it can be said that they have nothing.Now eating and drinking are all at Xu Nanshan's house, and only when the wheat comes out at the turn of spring and summer next year, will they start cooking again.

Xu Nanyun knew that his elder brother Xu Nandi was back, so he also brought some clothes, eggs and so on to see him.Ever since Qiuhuai got married last year and the Fang family ran away with someone, Xu Nanyun had no other thoughts and devoted himself to serving the crops and seedlings in the field.He was used to farm work, and he was not sloppy in tending the crops. This year has passed, and the family's life is going well.It's much better than when Fang Shi was at home.

When the two brothers got together, they were no longer like enemies meeting each other. Anyway, they had a precious family relationship.They used to be so close, but after marrying a daughter-in-law, the hearts of the two broke up.Now it's a bit of a return to basics.

Before leaving, Xu Nanyun also stuffed two taels of silver into Xu Nandi's hand.When Xu Nandi saw it, he hurriedly refused, "Third brother, quickly put this thing away. Although our family is having a difficult time, we will be able to catch our breath when the wheat is harvested next year. Besides, my family eats and drinks at the second brother's house. This money is useless.”

Xu Nanyun insisted on stuffing the money into Xu Nandi's hands, and said in a hurry: "You can take this money. This year's harvest at home is not bad. I can only eat and drink alone. How can it be enough? When winter comes, buy some Paste Korean paper on it, and then buy a padded jacket to keep warm. The third brother’s family is no better than the second brother’s, so don’t dislike the elder brother, it’s just that the money is less.”

Xu Nandi listened to Xu Nanyun's sincere words, his eyes turned red, and he was about to shed tears.Why is he crying so honestly recently? "Third brother has the same heart, how can elder brother dislike it. This two taels of silver is not too little, and it is enough for an ordinary family to live for two months!" At this moment, he understood how precious brotherhood is.It's a pity that I have been instigated by Yan's in the past, and I have become more and more estranged from my younger brothers. Now that I think about it, I really regret it.

Autumn is a busy season for farmers, and everyone is busy harvesting rice.In this season, apart from harvesting the rice in the field, Qiulin's family also had to choose herbs from the slopes of the field to dry.So at this time, Qiulin's family was very busy.

The honeysuckle had to be picked in a timely manner. If the flowers bloomed, the selling price would be much lower.So everyone first picks the honeysuckle and spreads it in the baskets to dry. After the honeysuckle is dried and put into the warehouse, everyone digs pinellia, plantain, perilla leaves, double-faced needles, dodder, astragalus, wild Ge.

All kinds of herbs are taken back from the slope, washed and dried, and then put into the warehouse by category.Different herbal medicines have very different effects. If the herbs are mixed up, it is estimated that they will not have the effect of curing diseases and saving lives, but will harm people instead!
After picking and drying the honeysuckle of the last season, Qiulin will pack all the herbs in the house in snakeskin bags with labels on them, and then transport the herbs to the north by water.

Because this was the first time to contact the vendor who bought herbs, the Xu family paid special attention to it, but it was inconvenient for the head of the family to come forward, and the male in the family was a student, so it was not easy to negotiate business.So in the end, Qiulin was asked to go with Heizi Maozi.

Xia Yan also expected that Xu's family man was weak, so he volunteered to go together as Qiulin's fiancé.After all, it is the daughter's family, those who are inconvenient to attend in the business field.

The last time Xia Yan drove lightly, it only took a few days to come and go.But this time they went north by boat, and there were still thousands of kilograms of herbs on board, so the speed naturally slowed down. The group walked for about half a month by water before arriving at Cixi.And the customer who purchased the herbal medicine was in Cixi City.

When they arrived at Cixi Wharf, Xiao Hei Maozi and his party got off the boat first, and asked the man who was helping people to carry things on the wharf to carry down the bags of herbs on the boat.After all the herbs were unloaded, several ox cart drivers were called to load the herbs onto the carts.This is a huge project, and it took about half an hour to move one up and one up.

It was the first time for Qiulin to sit on a boat for such a long time. At first, he thought it was fresh and fun, but it didn't take long before he began to experience symptoms of seasickness, such as nausea and vomiting, and all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms came flooding in.Although Xia Yan was given medicine to stop the nausea, he was still dizzy and weak.Now that I got off the boat, looking at the long and steep stone steps, Qiulin was like a soft-legged shrimp, unable to lift his feet.
