Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

"Second sister, grandpa and grandma are thinking about us. What's the big deal? I think it's great. From now on, my father and my mother can rely on each other, and it's the same for us. We don't have any ideas." Jingwan Smiled.

"However, have you ever thought about it? In this case, Brother Wencheng will be the heir of Third Uncle. Everything in the family from now on will belong to Brother Wencheng. If you have any ideas in your mind, you must tell Third Uncle and Three Aunts in advance. Said. "Jinghan can think more, after all, there are still more than 20 years of experience in the previous life. There are many families where brothers are beaten to death for money. Now that the third uncle has a son, how will Jingwan and Jingxian's changes be arranged? Should we discuss this in advance? It's not that I don't believe Wen Cheng, but there are some things I should have thought of.

Jingxian looked at Jingwan, and then said, "Second sister, I understand everything you said. You are afraid that brother Wencheng will occupy your parents' property in the future and leave us alone. In fact, you don't need to think so much. My sister is fifteen this year, and she will get married in two years. I am twelve, and I am not too young. I will eventually leave this family in a few years, and I will be able to get a dowry by then. That's good. I think that even when I get married, my father and my mother will be fine. They will not treat us badly. In other words, what did my family even have when I lost my house? Isn’t this what happened? Didn’t the second sister always say that a daughter must be self-reliant, so what if she is a girl? If we have trouble in the future, it is our own. What does this matter have to do with Brother Wencheng?"

Jinghan really admires her little sister. Some of her ideas are really to Jinghan's liking. "Okay, Jingxian, if you can have this idea, then the second sister won't have to worry about you anymore. If the second sister has any good ideas in the future, she will definitely teach you. We sisters can only rely on ourselves. You will live a better life than others." Jinghan was aroused by Jingxian's words.

Jingya had been silent until now, but now she said, "Okay, we sisters must live a good life in the future. Let others see that none of the daughters of the Xu family are given for free. Jinghan, you have a flexible mind. There are a lot of clever ideas. If you come up with something, we can all work together."

The four girls looked at each other, then each stretched out their hands, and the eight hands were held together. "Yes, let's work together so that our daughter can strengthen herself." The four of them said together with smiles on their faces and hearts full of expectations for the future.

On the morning of the sixth day of May, Zixuan and Ziwen came back from the village. The Lin Xing family drove them back in an ox cart, and of course they brought a lot of things along the way.

Of course, the Lin Xing family took their son to see the old man and the old lady first. It just so happened that Mrs. Ah, what are you doing? Are our two families still so heretical? You don’t need to take anything from here, as long as there is Wenhan, there is Zixuan and Ziwen." Mrs. Chen nodded towards Mrs. Xue. Head, Xue quickly took the things over. "Quick, come and sit down quickly." Mrs. Chen asked Xingjia to sit on the kang.

Everyone in the village is very particular about personal relationships. Since the Xu family brought back so many things, the Lin family naturally had to prepare some gifts in return. No matter what this gift is, the Xu family must accept it, otherwise they will look down on others.

The old man here also said, "Xingjia, sit down quickly, do you want to smoke? Come and try my cigarette, it tastes good." The old man took the cigarette bag and was about to fill a bag for Zixuan's father.

"Uncle, I don't smoke, so you should keep it for yourself. When you return to the village one day, you two can try with me which cigarette you can smoke better." Zixuan's father smiled and rejected the cigarette pouch handed over by the old man. Northeastern people generally like to smoke cigarettes, and some old ladies will also hold a big pipe in their mouth. However, Mrs. Chen never smoked. Only the old man smoked at home, not even Zhixin and the others. "Aunt, there aren't any good things. I have them all at home. Just don't dislike it. Zixuan and Ziwen have been living in aunt's house for several years. During the New Year and the holidays, aunt even brought some things back. We are not satisfied. ." Xingjia sat on the edge of the Kang and chatted with the old couple.

"By the way, uncle, I'm going to open a winery in the town. You may not know that my family has been making a living by making wine for generations. When it came to my father's generation, he fell into a wine pond when he was young and almost drowned. So he didn’t inherit our family’s ancestral winery, but came to farm here. My uncle originally took over my grandma’s winery, but unexpectedly, he didn’t have a son. There is no successor to the winery. Not long ago, my uncle sent me a message and asked me to come over. My uncle was seriously ill and the winery there had become obsolete because there was no one to manage it. He gave me all the ancestral wine-making recipes. , He said that we are going to start this winery again, and I just want to build a winery in our town. Uncle, do you think this will work? "Zixuan's father and the old man are all familiar with each other. , so I just wanted to ask the old man’s opinion.

"Oh, Zhixin just went back to the mountain today. Otherwise, let him take you to the Yue family and Manager Sun, and you can discuss it together. As an old man, I don't understand a lot of things, and they all Well-informed people are better than me. But I think it can be done. Think about it, who among us in the Northeast doesn’t like drinking? I don’t think there is a wine shop in this town. If you can find a skilled master and have your family's ancestral recipe, it will definitely work. Okay, it's a good thing to build a family. I think it's okay." When the old man heard this, he was very happy for Zixuan's father. Over the years, Jinghan has kept coming up with some things, which has caused some changes in the old farmer's consciousness. Farmers work hard in the fields all their lives and can't make as much money as Jinghan, a girl who pokes out things. It seems that there really should be a business. "This wine shop is a good deal, okay."

"Since uncle said this, I have confidence. In two days, I will go up the mountain to find Brother Zhixin, and then ask him to help me find a few sensible people, and we will discuss it carefully. What kind of place should I choose, how big will it be? We have saved some money in the past few years, so we should be able to build a wine shop. Zixuan and Ziwen are getting older, so we need more help from Brother Zhixin. Just help me." The Lin Xing family sat at Xu's house for a while and then left. "Okay, uncle and aunt, I'm going back to the village first. There's a lot of work in the fields at this time. When you have time, uncle and aunt can go back and have some fun. The old people in the village miss you too."

The old man was about to go to the ground to deliver food, but Lin Xing's family quickly stopped him, "Uncle, you should always stay on the kang. I don't dare to work for you to go to the ground." After saying that, he turned back and told the two brothers Zixuan, "You two are here In Grandpa Xu’s house, you do what you have to do and don’t cheat, you know?”

The two Zixuan brothers quickly nodded in agreement, and the Lin Xing family felt relieved and went out. Mrs. Xue hurriedly sent it out, "Xingjia, whatever you want to do, just go to our eldest brother. As long as I can help, I will definitely help you with all my heart. Our two families have been friends for so many years, so we should."

Lin Xingjia nodded, "Hey, sister-in-law, don't worry, I have never had an affair with my eldest brother. Sister-in-law, please go back. I'll leave those two brats in my family to my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, please take the trouble." The bullock cart on the side drove away.

After their father left, Zixuan and Ziwen told the old man and Mrs. Chen to go to Xikuoyuan to find Wenhan and the others. Zixuan will also take the college examination this year. He has been working very hard these days and reads whenever he has the chance. After all, Ziwen was still young and didn't have the pressure of exams, so he asked Wenxuan and the others to go out and play for a while.

As soon as Zixuan entered the study room, he happened to see Jinghan. She was holding a book and was fascinated by it. He walked gently to Jinghan's side and coughed, "Jinghan, what are you looking at?"

Jinghan heard the voice and looked up, "It's brother Zixuan. I had nothing to do, so I ran to the study to read. My eldest brother seemed to have gone to the woodshed, right? There wasn't much firewood at home, so he went to chop wood. . "Wen Han is also a clever person. He usually chops the firewood in the house.

"Oh, it's okay, I want to find a book to read." Zixuan walked to the bookshelf and picked a book. "Jinghan, how many days can you stay in the town?"

"I can't live for a few days. The tussah silkworms on the mountain are in critical condition now. Honglian and the others just look at me and I don't feel at ease. Besides, those fungus and other things are about to come out, so there is a lot of work to do." "Jinghan answered with a smile.

Zixuan wanted to ask Jinghan to stay at home for a few more days, but he also knew that Jinghan was really busy. He sighed helplessly in his heart, "You always have so much work to do, but you have to pay attention to your health. What can a girl do if she is exhausted?" Zixuan couldn't hide his concern.

Jinghan felt warm after hearing this, "Thank you, brother Zixuan, it's nothing. This year I'll let Honglian and the others help me, so it's not that tiring." Jinghan's nerves are too thick, and she doesn't have those thoughts. , so when he heard that Zixuan cared about him, he just thought it was his brother's care.

Zixuan could only sigh in his heart, he fell in love with a cheerful and generous girl, and sometimes he was very distressed. The girl in front of her would never think about anything else, alas. After enduring it again and again, Zixuan could only tentatively say, "It would be great if Jinghan could meet a rich family in the future, so she wouldn't have to be so busy."

Jinghan couldn't help but find it funny after hearing this, "Brother Zixuan, do you think I am the kind of person who can live in a big house? I'm such a straight-faced person, why don't I have to be fooled around by others? I don't care about that. I would rather work hard step by step than think about a sparrow turning into a phoenix." Jinghan didn't think there was anything wrong with discussing this with a boy. Zixuan was like her brother, what else couldn't be said with her brother?
