The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 260 Returning to Old Xiongling in Spring

"Although the girl's family disagreed, the old lady still found out about the girl's birth date, which was an hour earlier than the one given by the envoy..."

The deputy was annoyed when he heard that, when he was going out, the god's decree was to find someone with the horoscope, and there was nothing wrong with it.

This old lady is obviously here to amuse them!
"Old man, you are courting death!"

He was about to kick people when he was talking. The old woman was terrified and screamed, "I haven't finished talking, I haven't finished talking. That family lied to the outside world. I went to find the midwife who delivered the baby for his family." , People say that the girl's horoscope is wrong, it should be delayed for an hour, and it just matches the horoscope you want!"

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that everyone would not believe her, so she continued, "I'm not lying. , After giving birth to this girl, she was always sick, and then she was burned to death. This girl has no mother's upbringing, and her conduct... ah!"

Before the old woman could finish speaking, the chief guard grabbed her collar and lifted her up, "You said the women in this family died of fever?"

"Yes... yes, all the villages in the ten miles and eight villages know about it!"

The old woman was so frightened that she almost peed her pants, and she nodded her head like a chick picking rice.

"Old Bear Ridge outside Bei'an Prefecture?"

"Yes, yes, that family's surname is Lu, and almost everyone knows it!"

As soon as the chief guard let go, the old woman finally fell down, and she didn't dare to cry out the pain, so she quickly got up and knelt down.

You know, Hu Er who was kicked to death lives next door to her house, otherwise she wouldn't have hesitated for so long before coming to report the news.

Fortunately, the guards didn't have the habit of killing people for fun, so they got on their horses and quickly disappeared amidst the rumbling of the horse's hooves.

The old woman bravely raised her head, and seeing that there was no one there, she got up, grabbed the silver ingot in her hand, and did not dare to curse a few words.At this time, chasing after them to ask for the dozens of taels they forgot to give is purely courting death...

In Laoxiong Ridge, he had no idea that a big trouble was about to come.

Before Xiaomi left, he had already arranged a lot of chores, and the third yard of Lu's house was completely turned into a luggage workshop.Chen Yuexian, with a big belly, came up to the mountain every morning and went back at night, taking care of the food, drink and clothing of her father-in-law and uncle, and also in charge of the workshop's entry and exit accounts.

Aunt Liu couldn't let go of the mess on the mountain, so she recommended her daughter-in-law, Guizhi, to help Chen Yuexian manage the workshop, and led a group of girls and daughters-in-law to follow the blueprints left by Xiaomi. Bags and knives will be brought back in the carriage and transported away.

Then send it out of North Anzhou through the Chen family's convoy, or send it to a wilderness town, or send it directly to various state capitals and Kyoto.

This work is easier than embroidery, it is not exposed to wind or rain, it is very clean, and it earns more wages.So, not to mention the women from Old Xiongling, even the surviving women from Zhaojia Village at the foot of the mountain also chose a few nimble and sensible ones to join in.

In the vegetable sheds of each family, as early as a few days ago, the last shed of vegetables was produced, and all the corn seeds were replaced. It doesn’t take much. Twenty days later, the green corn seedlings can be distributed to the folks in eight villages.

This is a major event in the whole village. I don't know how many people are counting the days on their fingers, looking forward to the time when the seedlings will be divided.

In the mushroom cellar, the output is also less now, except for sending it to Xi Yangyang, the rest is sent to the Lu family to add vegetables.Chen Yuexian was still a little reluctant, but Liu Dashi took Xiaomi's words as an imperial decree, so he couldn't let the mushrooms rot in the kitchen, so Chen Yuexian endured his distress and got used to eating it.

In the deer pen, after a whole winter in Enron, the big deer and the young deer are a little restless. After eating a few mouthfuls of hay, they will look at the forest and bark a few times. Some male deer have already shown their big horns and started fighting.

After a night of discussion with several old men, they decided on a stocking strategy. In the next day, the two of them drove the deer to walk down the mountain to eat some leaves and weeds that had just emerged.Of course, the big deer had to be tied with a rope. If they ran away and disappeared, their old arms and legs would not be able to catch up.

The [-] mu of fertile land at the foot of the mountain had already been sprinkled with farmyard manure and carefully plowed.

Among them, two acres are planted with potatoes, and the rest are planted with bracts. According to Xiaomi, the southern states are bound to be flooded with potatoes this year. Starch and vermicelli are no longer rare things.But you can't expect the same huge profits as last year's money grabbing.Most of the land still needs to be planted with corn, and food is the foundation of life.

For this statement, all the young and old in the village raised their hands in agreement.

Food is the foundation of life for everyone, of course, the more the better.

On both sides of the mountain pass, the courtyards of the Chen family, and several families planning to marry their daughters-in-law, began to buy bricks, tiles and stones to build their courtyards.

As for the wasteland in front of the woods outside the mountain pass, it was cleaned up by the people of Zhaojia Village who were eager to rebuild their homes. When the weather got warmer, they began to dig the foundation and build the house.

Laoxiongling's "big fight" made the folks from all over the country happy, whether it was helping to transport bricks or tiles, or digging stones in the mountains to send them, and sending copper coins that could earn a living for their families.

In this way, before the full arrival of spring, the inside and outside of Laoxiong Ridge are already busy.

The naughty children who have been bored all winter, seeing the snow melt and the mountains and forests faintly wearing fresh green coats, how can they bear it? They always stretch their necks and look out when they are reading.

Father Lu is not a mean person either, so after thinking about it, he simply gave them a day of spring break, in the name of helping their parents to prepare for spring farming, and the mischievous petty bourgeoisie agreed, but running out of the Lu family's yard was like a loach in the water. The pond disappeared in an instant.

Aunt Liu happened to come in from outside the door, and was bumped by the naughty boys, she laughed and cursed a few times, and when she saw Father Lu coming out of the west wing, she would plunge into the main room to read the book.Then he yelled, "Sir!"

Father Lu turned his head when he heard the sound, but his eyes lost focus, which showed that his mind was still in a certain world and never came back.

Aunt Liu took a few steps, and hurriedly said, "Sir, you can't waste your body like this. Since the children are on vacation, you should also go for a walk down the mountain. There are hundreds of people, old and young, who live on the Lu family. You all Mrs. Zhang is going to show her face. Besides, before Xiaomi left, she told me to remind you more, read less and walk more, otherwise you will be exhausted, but let her worry about it."

Xu Shi heard Aunt Liu mentioning her daughter, Father Lu finally came to his senses, thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll go for a walk down the mountain."

"Hey, that's right, sir, go early and come back early. At noon, sister-in-law Jiang killed a chicken to make soup, and you can drink a bowl too. It's not good to spoil my aunt because of reading."

Father Lu nodded, and really went out to the foot of the mountain.

Chen Yuexian came from the backyard, seeing this, he smiled and thanked Aunt Liu.

"Auntie, fortunately, you can persuade my father, otherwise, when Xiaomi comes back, I'm afraid we will blame us for not taking good care of his old man."

"Oh, you're a daughter-in-law with a big belly, so it's good to manage the workshop. Besides, how can you tell your father-in-law what to do. Don't worry, Xiaomi is not an ignorant child. And I, if I have something to do, just call out. "

Aunt Liu was straightforward and not secretive, she helped Chen Yuexian directly and went to the kitchen, she helped Aunt Jiang cook, and paid the bill for the flowers in the dining shed down the mountain.

Both of them have given birth to children before, so they are naturally rich in experience, so it is inevitable that they will pass on a lesson on child rearing.

Chen Yuexian nodded repeatedly when he heard it, the three of them talked lively, and the food was ready, but he didn't see Father Lu coming back.

Chen Yuexian was about to call Qinghua Qingyu to go down the mountain to have a look, but Father Lu hurried in from the door and ran straight to the main room.

Chen Yuexian couldn't stop her father-in-law from asking, just when she was wondering, Cui Ling who was beside Madam Chen arrived panting with a basket.

"Miss!"

Even though Chen Yuexian had been married to the Lu family for more than half a year, everyone in the Chen family was still used to calling her Miss, and the Lu family didn't pick her up, so no one thought about changing it.

"Master Lu was drinking tea and gossiping with our lord. We were going to eat, but our lord found an ancient book for Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu didn't even eat, and came back directly. Our lord There is no other way, let the maidservant pick up two good dishes and bring them together, and ask Miss to persuade Mr. Lu to eat two more bites, so as not to burn himself out."

Cui Ling spoke eloquently, one master at a time, which made people dizzy.

Aunt Liu laughed and said, "Mr. Lu loves books very much. He usually persuades Xiaomi at home, but it's useless."

Chen Yuexian also smiled and said, "Yes, Cui Ling went back and told her parents that I can save it. My husband will come over later, and eat with my father together, which will always make him eat two more bites."

Cui Ling put down the food box, smiled and went down the mountain.

Everyone cleared up the dining table, and just as it was set, Lu Lao Dalu's second brother came back covered in dust.

Chen Yuexian drove them to the well to wash their hands and faces, and then slapped the dust off their bodies, before asking, "Where did you go crazy again, why are you rolling like a mud monkey?"

Lu's second grinned, and quickly fled into the house. His sister-in-law is good everywhere, but she loves cleaning too much, even better than Xiaomi.

Don't you know that Chen Yuexian wanted to complain when he heard this, and Xiaomi was afraid that there was nothing he could do, so he gave up the idea of ​​turning his naughty brother into a clean person.

Boss Lu saw that his younger brother was hiding, but he couldn't, so he smiled naively, "A batch of rocks came down from the mountain, and I followed them for a while."

"These jobs are naturally arranged by Uncle Liu and the others. You follow what you do. Not to mention if you get hurt, those folks will have less work to do, and they will always get less wages. You are doing bad things with good intentions."

Boss Lu scratched the back of his head, wondering, "Is that so?"

"Of course, it's hard for people to tell, but you still think you are helping out with kindness."

Chen Yuexian stretched the hem of his clothes for her husband, and felt at peace. Her man may not be considered smart and capable, but he has a very good heart. If he is like this to outsiders, he will naturally treat her ten thousand times better.

Sure enough, Boss Lu saw his daughter-in-law bending over, and quickly helped her up.

"Yuexian, you still have a big belly, don't be tired. Leave me alone and go to the house to eat. From now on, I will listen to you."

"it is good."
