Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 177 Good News Comes
After sending Yang Chunming away, Yuan's heart felt empty, as if something was missing, very uncomfortable.

It's just that because of the warmer weather, there are more things at home. Although Yuan is thinking about his son in the distance, he still has to be busy with the things in front of him.

More than ten days passed in a flash, and the days were very peaceful.

Chunqiu said before that the yard at home was a little empty. After her father heard about it, he dug two apricot trees from the mountain and buried them in his yard. Now in mid-March, the apricot blossoms are blooming. In the season of spring and autumn, the pink apricot blossoms flutter with the wind, like a rain of apricot blossoms. Chunqiu likes the scenery in front of her. Every day when she is free, she will run over and sit under the apricot blossom tree to rest, so the yard is full of flowers every day. In this scene, under the tree full of pink apricot blossoms, there is a little doll sitting, with two ancient poems or classical Chinese sentences on his back from time to time, shaking his head, so cute!
Huzi goes out early and returns late every day, so he is very busy. Occasionally he comes back early from school, so he sits under the apricot tree with Chunqiu and recites poems. It's hard work.

After Yuan saw it, she didn't stop her, and told Yang Weibo about it, and the husband and wife were very happy.

In the middle of March, news came from Linfang County that Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming passed the county examination together, and Yang Chunming also got the No.1 in the county examination. Yang Chunjun was close, but No.6 was also high. It was passed on by Yang Meijuan and his wife who live in Linfang County. When she wore it at home, Yuan Shi immediately bowed to the sky after listening to it, saying Buddha's blessing in her mouth, like a big stone hanging in her heart fell. The ground, this person is all high-spirited.

Gu's being on the side is not as happy as Yuan's, on the contrary, she is a little jealous, why?Isn't it because his son didn't pass the Yang Chunming exam?

Gu Shi held his breath in his heart, but he didn't kneel down and worship Zhang Yang everywhere like Yang Shi did.

Because the government examination and the hospital examination were in early April, Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming meant that they would not come back and planned to go directly to Qingyang County in the county for a period of time. Yang Meijuan told Yuan that this time the past would make Gao Qing With you, there is no need to worry at home.

The fact that the Yang family gave birth to two young masters spread throughout the Yang family village, especially Yang Chunming, who was praised by the villagers for being amazing. There was an endless stream of people who came to the Yang family every day looking for excuses to look at them. She was so happy that Yuanshi greeted people with a smile every day, and Chunqiu noticed that her mother's face had become more wrinkled recently.

Chunqiu's second brother hasn't come back yet, but three matchmakers in the family came to go on a blind date, and one of them even wanted to make a baby kiss for Chunqiu, soooo!Chunqiu was stunned. That's right, she is seven years old and not 17 years old, and her brother has only passed the county examination, so how could he have such a big face!

Naturally, the Yuan family would not agree, whether it was Yang Chunming's matter or Chunqiu Huzi's matter, they did not agree.

Of course, the matchmaker didn't come here for Yuan Shi and his family. Yuan Shi disagreed, so there was Gu Shi?When the matchmaker came, she heard that the Gu family has an eldest daughter who is already thirteen years old. Isn't this a good match?People who want to curry favor with the future young master hastened to propose marriage.

Well, Chunqiu was sitting under the apricot tree, watching the matchmakers come to the door one after another, and felt really sorry for her eldest sister, who was urged to marry at a young age!

So many young talents rushed over all at once, Mrs. Gu was so fascinated that she was so dazzled, she walked like a float these two days, when she saw Mrs. Yuan, she even showed off a few words, Mrs. Yuan only regarded her as the other party He didn't wake up, and didn't argue with her, so he congratulated her in a neutral tone, and then went back to the house. The enthusiastic Gu Shi couldn't help but turn around and go back to the house angrily!

Time passed slowly, and at the beginning of April, the paddy fields and dry land at home were going to be planted again. This year, the weather was warm and early, and the rice that would have been planted in mid-April in previous years can now be planted. Yuan has been busy soaking seedlings these two days However, Mrs. Gu is not idle either. Chunni's marriage was thrown aside by her. Her family has a lot of land, and it is troublesome to plant it. She needs a lot of seeds. Mrs. Gu spends her head in the fields every day, so naturally she is not in the mood to talk to Yuan. Show off again.

Before planting the rice fields, the water in the paddy fields should be cleared. For convenience, every year Yang Weibai would dig out a ditch with a shovel and a hoe, drain the water inside and inject new water. It is not far from the river, so it is not troublesome to fill it with water.

Chunqiu was bored at home alone, thinking that there was nothing to do, so she went to the field with her father Yang Weibo. Their family was not the only one working in the field, and there were people carrying hoes and robes around. Chunqiu was sitting on the bank beside him. On the side, hugging her legs and watching her father work.

Now the rice field is full of weeds, because there are no rice seedlings, it grows very quickly, Chunqiu tilted his head, and saw her father first leveling the ditch on the side, then raised the hoe with both hands, and started digging One after another, Chunqiu saw a ditch slowly appearing, and after finally digging away the mound of soil, Yang Weibo took the rag on his neck and wiped his sweat.

"Father, shall we go home now?" Chunqiu ran over thumpingly, looked down at the water slowly leaving, thinking that it was time to go home for dinner after work was done.

Yang Weibo nodded, "Hey, go back, finish here, dad will go dig the rice fields below in the afternoon, after two days, the fields can be used again after refilling with water."

In ancient times, there were no water pumps, so it could only be done manually.

Chunqiu turned her head and helped her father hold the lighter weeds aside, which her father had dug before, and were going to take them home to feed the chickens at home.

The work in the field has been busy until the end of April, before it can be regarded as all finished, including her nurse Yang Li's field, which is also planted by her uncle and her father.

Time continued to move forward. At the beginning of May, someone in the family sent a message, saying that Yang Chunming had passed the college examination and became a scholar, and because of his outstanding literary talent, he was directly appointed as a janitor. Oh, this is This big news, Chunqiu on the side was a little excited, her brother is so powerful, he is equivalent to the modern champion of the city, her mother Yuan is even more generous, and directly gave two taels of silver to the word-of-mouth, the whole person It's even more joyful.

The person who came also said that several people were rushing home, saying that they were afraid that the people at home would be in a hurry, so he sent a message back. Yuan Shixin said that there is no need to worry now, her son is promising, and she has to do something A big banquet.

After hearing about Yang Chunming, Mrs. Gu on the side hurriedly asked him about Yang Chunjun. The person who came was not familiar with who Yang Chunjun was, and the messenger didn't mention it, so he could only shake his head.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu got angry immediately, complaining about what her brother-in-law meant, and was dragged back by Yang Weimin, "What are you arguing about? Don't you know when Chunjun comes back in two days? I'm afraid Chunjun didn't do as well as Chunming in the exam." I'm sorry to say it." Yang Weimin was just guessing that Yang Chunjun was not as good as Yang Chunming, and Yang Chunming was directly appointed as a janitor. I'm afraid Chunjun was under a lot of pressure, so I was embarrassed to say.

"Then you can't just say a word." Gu Shi tugged at the clothes being pulled by Yang Weimin. Although her tone was not satisfied, she didn't continue. She also felt that what Yang Weimin said was right. Anyway, her son will come back in two days. Do you know?Hmph, Mrs. Gu snorted, her son must be no worse than Yang Chunming.

As a result, what Gu Shi didn't expect was that after returning, Yang Chunjun directly brought a big bomb to Gu Shi, and it exploded Gu Shi with a bang.
