Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 172 Conception
After wearing the wedding dress that day, Huang Xiaoying was really as beautiful as a fairy in the sky. Although she went out with a veil on her head, the onlookers praised her one after another. In addition, the gongs and drums cleared the way, and the sedan chair was gorgeous, Zhao Dongzhi really earned a lot of face.

Zhao Daqing's family also came, and brought an ox cart with them, and stayed for four or five days before leaving.

After the bustle and bustle, Zhao Dongzhi was happy to marry her daughter, but in the end she still couldn't bear it, and cried several times behind her back. Fortunately, the couple lived in the county, and she had the opportunity to see each other every day when she went to the restaurant. It is much better than the other mother who married her daughter far away.

The matter of Huang Xiaoying was mentioned again today. Zhao Dongzhi is still very satisfied with his son-in-law. He is polite and polite to his father-in-law and considerate to his daughter. It’s just that the words are a little less, let alone the lively atmosphere. Basically, there are no extra words after a few greetings , In the paper horse shop, I just bowed my head and made those sacrifices.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao laughed, "People can't be perfect, as long as Xiaoying doesn't dislike her, what do you have to say? I think my brother-in-law doesn't talk too much, does he?"

Speaking of Huang Xiaoying, Zhao Dongzhi shook her head again, "I don't think she cares about anything. When she mentioned this, she was vague and didn't respond. I don't know what she is thinking. But it seems that the two of them seem to be okay." No matter what Xiaoying said, the son-in-law also nodded, and Xiaoying is basically in charge of the family affairs now."

"That's enough. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You should spend so much energy on Li Shu." Zhao said with a smile, "He has tried it in the county, and he will take the government exam this month."

Zhao Dongzhi also laughed. This son is very competitive. He passed the exam the first time. He used to think that he is not a student. Now the master praises him. The class I teach in.It's just that there are still some small regrets. It would be even better if Li Gen also passed the exam together!

"Yeah, he's been reading all night lately, and he'll kill a chicken to feed him later." She praised, "Those little chickens grow up very fast, and the grass powder that Xiaoyu gave is really useful Woolen cloth."

"It's called alfalfa, and it's good for sheep."

"Yes, yes, Alfalfa, next time I will ask Xiaoyu for some seeds. There is some space in the bamboo grove behind my house, so it's better to just sprinkle it and grow some." She suddenly felt a little sad as she spoke, "Hey, little one The fish seems to be getting bigger too, so it won’t last long.” He told Mrs. Zhao, “Don’t think about the place next to it. I didn’t think it would be sad if I don’t see you for a day. At least I have to be like Huanghua and Xiaoying. , can’t go outside the county.”

The situation of the two of them is getting better and better. Recently, there are always matchmakers who are entrusted to come to the door to talk about marriage. Du Xian's precious daughter, Zhao Shi hasn't said anything yet, but he picks and chooses, and no one likes it.

Du Xiaoyu felt very lucky about this, as long as they kept looking down on her, but it was impossible in the end, so she was always in a bad mood.

Fortunately, I am busy again, and I can divert my attention. In early summer, rainy days are the most suitable for cuttings. After gaining considerable experience in planting honeysuckle, she bought another three acres of land this year. The village also came to ask for advice earlier. However, they heard that it would take two years to grow this kind of herbal medicine, so most of them gave up.

This is indeed a big shortcoming. Sitting on the ridge of the field, Du Xiaoyu stared at the freshly plowed soil in a daze. If he could make a profit in the first two years, he wouldn't waste his time in vain.

"Xiao Yu, Uncle Du calls you back." Li Jin came over, he was about to go home after watching the rabbit, so Du Xian told him to take a message to his second daughter on the way.

Du Xiaoyu asked strangely, "It's not time to eat yet, what's the matter with my dad?"

Li Jin was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said, "An aunt came to your house with her son, and she said yes, she said she wanted you to see a doctor for the rabbit, so she brought the rabbit too."

"Can't you see it too, or is it a serious illness?" Li Jin is familiar with common illnesses.

"No." Li Jin would not lie, and said directly, "I'm not sick."

"Why do you come here if you're not sick? It's really weird..." Du Xiaoyu paused as he spoke. Li Jin just said that the mother and son came together. Could it be that he was rushing for that purpose again?Did this come directly to a blind date?She stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, "Is that man's son about the same age as you?" A 16-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl can all get married. How embarrassing is this world!

Li Jin nodded.

Du Xiaoyu sighed, feeling very bored, wondering if he should have a good talk with Du Xian and Mrs. Zhao, to clarify his thoughts?But is this convincing?

Seeing her frown, Li Jin sat down beside her, "Is it going to be planted in these two days?"

"I didn't think about it. You also know about the honeysuckle. There was no profit in the first two years." She turned her head to look at Li Jin. Has your mother found you a wife yet?"

Li Jin's face turned red all of a sudden, embarrassed.

She always speaks too directly, and he still hasn't adapted to it.

Du Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Why are you panicking? I don't see that I am annoyed to death by these people. I come here every now and then to find a matchmaker. I just want to find someone with the same disease to complain about, can't I?"

"Here, I..." Li Jin lowered his head, speaking incoherently, and it took him a long time to get back to normal, "I didn't."

Hearing that he said no, Du Xiaoyu looked at him carefully. Li Jin looks pretty good, with a very handsome face, which looks a bit refined. Fortunately, he has grown taller and has broad shoulders, but he is not weak.What's more, his salary this year has also been increased to two taels of silver a month. In fact, his family background is not bad in the village. From Du Xiaoyu's point of view, those matchmakers' targets have many conditions that are not as good as Li Jin's.

When her eyes fell, Li Jin felt his face burn for a while, and he almost wanted to stand up and run away.

Fortunately, she stopped watching it later, and sighed quietly, "It's too bad that no one complains."

Seeing that she was really distressed, Li Jin couldn't bear to leave, and said in a low voice, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I won't tell others."

Hearing what he said, Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Let's talk about it someday when you realize it."

The two sat in silence for a while, and Li Jin asked, "Aren't you going back? Uncle Du will be here in a hurry."

"Let's find it later." Du Xiaoyu was annoyed.

As a result, Du Xian really came to find him, and Li Jin hurriedly bid farewell and left.

"Why don't you come back and make people wait in vain?" Du Xian said with a grimace, "Obviously Xiao Jin has brought you a message, but she doesn't even listen to me."

Du Xiaoyu pouted, "Father first tell me what you want me to do back home?"

"Well," Du Xian said, rubbing his hands, "Sister Fang from the west of the village asked you to see a doctor for the rabbit. It was a waste of time to wait. Now I'm going home, just pretending that you are not polite."

"She is polite? She sees a doctor as soon as she sees a doctor. Why bring her son here?"

Du Xian didn't expect her to guess this, so he frowned, "His son is pretty good, he just passed the exam last year as a scholar, and he looks good, even your aunt thinks he's pretty good."

Zhao Dongzhi was looking for a talented son-in-law at the beginning, of course she thought it was good!

"Father, I don't want to marry yet, okay? I'm still young!"

"What's the matter, it's settled. You will be 14 next year. Besides, Dad is not urging you to marry someone. He mainly wants you to see if it suits you." Du Xian smiled. The person who came was a bit abrupt, but compared to the recent ones, this young man seems to be the most pleasing to the eye. Of course, he still has a best candidate in his heart, but he doesn't seem to be optimistic based on what the lady said.

It was like playing the piano to a cow, her father didn't listen at all, Du Xiaoyu got angry, turned around and ran away.

Seeing her walking in sweaty, Zhao Dongzhi giggled and said, "Why did you come back? Your father is already looking for you!"

"Sister, it's time to eat." Fudan came up to pull her, with a smile on his chubby face, he looked more and more like Du Xian, not so much like Du Qingqiu, Du Qingqiu was more like Du Xiaoyu, listening to Zhao Shi Said that both of them followed the appearance of their grandmother.

Just to save her from the siege, so that my aunt would not have to say any annoying words, Du Xiaoyu picked up Fudan and went to the kitchen with a smile.

This kid is really heavy, Du Xiaoyu squeezed his fat arms, "What did mother burn today?"

"Eggs, bean sprouts, cucumbers, meat..." Fudan articulated clearly, and he knew things quickly, and he could name several dishes.

Du Xiaoyu kissed him on the cheek and praised, "Fu Dan is so smart!"

Du Qingqiu ran out from nowhere, pulled Du Xiaoyu's skirt from behind, and shouted loudly, "I want to hug, I want to hug too!"

"Where can I hold two of them, ask my aunt to carry them."

"This girl obviously doesn't like being hugged, ouch, I can't see someone hurting Fudan again." Zhao Dongzhi poked Du Qingqiu's head, but still hugged her, saying, "Xiaoyu, your grass seed Find some and give them to me."

"Alfalfa? Where do you plant it?" It seems that their family has no spare land.

"I told your mother last time, in that bamboo forest, anyway, the bamboos are tall, and the bottom is empty, and the grass can always grow, so it's not a waste of land."

Not wasteful?Something flashed through Du Xiaoyu's mind, and he froze for a moment.

Plant alfalfa grass under the bamboo forest, and grow two things on one piece of land!She yelled in surprise, "Why didn't I think of that! Auntie, you've made a great contribution!"

"Oh, great work? What great work?" Zhao Dongzhi's eyes widened, and he asked, "Could it be possible to make a lot of money again?"

Du Xiaoyu put it off and blinked, "I haven't made up my mind yet, I'll tell you later."

She was thinking about this while eating. In the first two years of honeysuckle, the whole plant is not too big, but in the third year, the branches and leaves will become very lush, so when planting, the distance between the rows is a bit large , Now if we use the row spacing to plant some other herbs, we won't waste the fertile land.

I just don’t know what to plant. I want an annual herb that likes shade, so it doesn’t matter if the sun is blocked by honeysuckle...
