Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 186 On the Right Track
Another busy morning.

Chunqiu opened her eyes, there was no one on the bed, she was lying in the middle of the bed alone, with a thin sheet covering her body, Chunqiu rolled, finally turned over and gurgled, and rolled directly to the ground.

Picking up the clothes on the side and putting them on, Chunqiu pushed open the door and went out.

There is a water well in the yard. Chunqiu picked up the water basin on the side, took a basin of cool water and splashed it on his face, then smoothed his knotted hair with wet hands, tied a simple ponytail, and The head curtains were all turned to one side, Chunqiu picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped it, and then finished washing.

Looking up at the blue and blue sky, Chunqiu somehow remembered the soft and sweet jelly in later generations, alas, everything was good in ancient times, but there were too few snacks!
"Autumn"

A soft female voice floated from a distance, directly interrupting Chunqiu's sadness, Chunqiu raised his head, looked at the aunt who was standing at the door, holding the baby in her hand, and replied with a smile, "Auntie"

"Hey" Yang Meijuan responded with a smile, "Qiu'er, come here quickly"

Chunqiu strode his calf and trot to stop beside Yang Meijuan, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Early this morning, her parents went out again, saying that they wanted to find a carpenter and a bricklayer to take a break from the newly bought shop. Because it was a serious matter, the two told Chunqiu last night, and Chunqiu thought about the two of them today. There must be a lot of things, after thinking about it, she didn't rush to follow, but decided to wait at home alone. Seeing that her daughter was so obedient, Yuan immediately agreed to come back and buy candy for Chunqiu to eat. Eat, Chunqiu is not to mention how happy he is, standing in front of Yang Meijuan, still smiling.

Yang Meijuan thought that Chunqiu was only happy seeing Gao Mingxuan, so she lowered Gao Mingxuan's hand so that Chunqiu could see it more clearly.

Gao Mingxuan was having fun in his mother's arms at this time, turning his fat body around, his big eyes directly looked at Chunqiu beside him, the little baby was stunned for a moment, then put down the gadget in his hand, and reached out to reach it The little buttons on Chunqiu's body.

Chunqiu watched the other party's chubby hands reach everywhere as if they didn't give up, the target was still his own clothes button, Chunqiu thought for a while, and took a big step forward, Chunqiu looked at Gao Mingxuan's little hand was struggling to hold hers Putting the button in his mouth, drooling, Chunqiu picked up the handkerchief in his arms and wiped it for the other party, then turned to look at Yang Meijuan and said with a smile, "Auntie, brother likes me very much."

"Hehe" Yang Meijuan smiled happily, and nodded in agreement, "Well, it seems that Xuan'er likes Qiu'er very much."

"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, I'm my sister." Chunqiu stretched out his hand to hold the other's little hand, his voice was soft and gentle.

Gao Mingxuan seemed to be able to understand, and he cooperated several times, "Wow...Wow..." While saying something they didn't understand, he continued to hold Chunqiu's clothes button.

Yang Meijuan looked at the big and small conversation in front of her, her eyes bent into crescents, and then she remembered the purpose of calling Chunqiu over, "Qiu'er, help aunt, pick those old vegetables in the backyard..." The pickles are gone, Yang Meijuan planned to use those green vegetables in the backyard to make a jar of pickles, but unexpectedly, the little grinder in her arms was so noisy that she couldn't sleep. Yang Meijuan had no choice but to ask Chunqiu for help.

Chunqiu thought it was some big event, but he didn't think it was picking vegetables, "It's okay, aunt, shall we go there now?" Chunqiu said boldly, then stared at Yang Meijuan and stopped moving.

Yang Meijuan smiled, turned her head and said, "Let's go there now"

Chunqiu followed Yang Meijuan, and went into the backyard directly holding the basket beside her.

Yang Meijuan didn't plan to do more, so Chunqiu's task was very simple, just put the picked and washed vegetables at the door to dry.

Yang Meijuan stood aside with Gao Mingxuan in her arms, watching Chunqiu busy in the field alone, and Chunqiu did a lot of work when he was in his hometown. In Chunqiu's eyes, this little work couldn't be easier. Just picked a full basket.

"Auntie, is this enough?" Chunqiu stood up and turned his head, there was no sweat on his face, and he was not tired at all.

Yang Meijuan glanced at the vegetables in the basket, and nodded happily, "That's enough, Qiu'er has worked hard."

"It's okay." Chunqiu shook his head, and walked out with the basket on his shoulders.

The next step is very simple, using the water from the well, Chunqiu simply washed these green vegetables, and then placed them one by one on the reed mat in the front yard, waiting to be used directly after drying.

"Qiu'er, what are you busy with?"

Chunqiu looked back, it was her mother, Yuan Shi walked back in cool clothes, Chunqiu stood up, and replied, "Mother, you are back."

"I'm drying vegetables," Chunqiu said cheerfully, then bent down and put it up.

Seeing the busy little back of her daughter, Yuan Shi shook her head amusedly, and asked, "Do you want Qiu'er to go to the shop with your mother this afternoon?" I am following Yang Weibo to work in the shop.Although most places in the shop have to take a break, it is not troublesome, and there are three or five days, which is about the same.

The business of the shop is still in the food business. After all, they have just arrived in Linfang County, and they are still not familiar with most of them. They rashly do some other business. The two of them are also worried that they might as well do the food business directly. After all, the food business The cost is small and convenient.

"Shop? All right?" Chunqiu nodded, she wanted to go out and have a look around a long time ago, and it's uncomfortable to stay at home all the time.

Yuan Shi said again, "Okay, after lunch, Qiu'er and Mother should go out together, and buy some pots and pans by the way..."

Chunqiu listened quietly at the side until Yuan Shi finished speaking and went back to the room.

When eating at noon, Yuan asked Yang Meijuan about where to buy pots and pans. Yang Meijuan mentioned several shops. Fortunately, Yuan still remembered these shops. He took some silver money and went out with Chunqiu.

The mother and daughter first went to a market, bought some pots and pans, then paid a deposit, agreed on the address of the shop, and asked them to deliver it tomorrow.

The mother and daughter spent the afternoon wandering around, tidying up all the tools used to make food in the shop. Even the sieves they made before went to the blacksmith shop in the city to make sure that they were all made before they opened.

Chunqiu stood at the door of a shop, looked up at her mother, "Mother, is this the new shop our family bought?"

The shop in front of me is very similar to the one in Heishan Town, both have a front yard and backyard structure, but the outside looks much bigger than the shop in Heishan Town.

Yuan Shi nodded, "That's right, this is our shop, go back quickly, your father and the others are busy in the yard." After Yuan Shi finished speaking, she dragged Chunqiu into the shop. When I fell in love with this spacious yard, I thought of the tea tree I brought from home, when Mrs. Yuan was repairing the shop.Then Yang Weibai opened up a piece of land in the yard to grow some melons, fruits and vegetables, since the place is big anyway.

When Chunqiu and Yuan Shi came in, several people were repairing the roof of the house in the backyard. Because of the leaking beams, there was a lot of moisture in the house in the backyard. The province has been renovating every year, but this idea has not been communicated to Yuan Shi. Seeing his wife coming, Yang Weibo greeted the two people beside him, and then went down the ladder.

"Fang'er, the beam in the shop is not good. It has been leaking before. I asked Master Zhou. Master Zhou said that the inside of the beam is broken. He suggested that we renovate it. How about we renovate it and save years?" repaired”

Master Zhou is the carpenter that Yang Weibo invited to help. What Yang Weibo said was also explained by Master Zhou. The beams are refurbished.

Mrs. Yuan couldn't trust this Master Zhou, so she pulled Yang Weibo aside, and asked in a low voice, "Is this reliable with Mr. Zhou? It can't be to bluff us." Yuan was mainly worried that the other party would make them spend more money.

Yang Weibo shook his head, "No, Master Zhou is very famous in Linfang. If you don't believe me, go out and ask yourself. Besides, it's not like you haven't seen it before. The shop we bought is really bad, and the beams are all dark. Let's replace it with a new one." Yang Weibo was involved in building the house at home, even if he didn't understand the problem of the beams, he would still look at them. The beams in this shop have problems at first glance.

Seeing Yang Weibo's affirmative look, Yuan did not say anything to refute, "Okay, you can do it yourself, change it if you can, otherwise it will be troublesome if you take a rest every year."

When Yang Weibo heard what he wanted, he quickly agreed with a smile, "Okay, don't worry, I'll have a good talk with Master Zhou." As soon as the words fell, Yang Weibo ran back to discuss with Master Zhou.

Yuan Shi simply ignored him, and pulled Chunqiu who was beside him back to the shop in the front yard.

Now when the shop is repaired, a few people can move in here.

For several days, her father Yang Weibo ran there almost every day, and occasionally her mother would come to help. Except for the first time Chunqiu came here, she stayed at home again, mainly because the work in the shop was too tiring, Suitable for spring and autumn to help.

Her second brother, Yang Chunming, stays in the study room almost every day to exchange knowledge with Gao Mingshuo. Chunqiu would pass by the study room every day, listening to the teeth-stinging classical Chinese texts coming out of it, Chunqiu’s head hurts. Really, an ancient scholar It's really hard to be a man, no matter if it's poetry or stereotyped classical Chinese, you have to do it with your hands. Alas, it's hard for her second brother.

At this time, Chunqiu is very grateful that she is a girl, don't, don't the matter of glory and ancestors still have to be on her?Forget it, for Chunqiu who has gone through the college entrance examination in her previous life, there is nothing more terrifying than the exam. She should just quietly make money and become a rich woman.

It's good to pass again, after all the repairs in the shop are completed, Chunqiu and the others finally set off by themselves!
