Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains
Chapter 121 Scholar
Autumn days are already busy, and Zhixin has to help the Lin family clean up the house and build roads. The family does not have enough manpower, so it becomes even busier.
After the tenth day of August, the crops in the fields should be collected. At this time, the Lin family also stopped working at the winery and rushed to collect the crops first. The Xu family has planted a lot of land this year, and also dug a lot of ginseng soil, so this autumn harvest is even more stressful.
Jinghan and the others didn't stop and went to collect the land together. Mingyu has been running around the mountains with Jinghan every day for a while now, constantly getting things for home, such as making mountain grape cakes, squeezing the seeds of Shanlihong and drying them, or beating mountain pears and peeling them into pieces. Anyway, he has a lot of fun every day. I was happy and saved a lot of delicious food at the same time. Mingyu hoped in his heart that his eldest brother would not send someone to pick him up too early, and it would be nice if he could stay in the mountains for a longer period of time.
Harvesting the fields is undoubtedly a very tiring job. When breaking corn cobs, you may get scratched on your hands or face by corn leaves. If you use a sickle to cut beans, your hands may be pricked by pods. The same goes for the rest of the crops, none of which are easy to dry. Only then did Mingyu truly understand the hardships of farmers, "Sister, now I understand. I don't dare to stop eating this or that. Oh my God, farmers can't grow food." It's really not easy. If you don't care about the food, you will really be struck by lightning." Mingyu was bending over to cut the beans and said while beating his back twice.
Jinghan is determined to train Mingyu, so she will take Mingyu with her to do any work. However, Jinghan knows how to do it and won't make him too tired, just experience all kinds of things. Fortunately, Mingyu has gotten a lot of training from going up and down the river with everyone these days, so he can still cope with this kind of work. "Yes, the food that farmers have worked so hard to grow is hard-earned, so we must know how to cherish it. When Mingyu returns home in the future, he must also remember what he said today, cherish the fruits of other people's efforts. Remember?"
"Hey, sister, don't worry, Mingyu knows." Mingyu continued to cut the beans with the sickle. He is a very smart child, no matter what job he does, he can do it at a glance. Not long after I picked up the sickle, I was already doing it well.
Zhixin over there looked back and saw it, and couldn't help but say, "Mingyu is really good, he did a good job. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that you grew up in a farm family."
The Xu family liked Li Mingyu very much. He is cute and has no airs. He doesn't have the arrogance of a child from a wealthy family. This is what makes him like the most. No matter what kind of work there was at home, Mingyu would always lend a hand to help, even if it was slower. Naturally, the Xu family has no shortage of such workers, but this attitude makes people feel very comfortable.
The old man led Wenxuan and Wenchang back from the town. Looking at the harvested food, the old man was filled with joy and kept sighing. When the old man discovered Mingyu, he naturally wanted to ask questions, so Zhixin had no choice but to explain it to his father. After hearing this, the old man didn't say he didn't agree. He just said that since he had promised, he had to fulfill his promise and take good care of Mingyu. Zhixin quickly said yes.
Wenxuan and Wenchang naturally saw Mingyu, and Wenxuan felt that he had a good temper towards this chubby man of his age. "When the crops are harvested in the past two days, I will take you to break the pine cone. Throw that thing into the fire and burn it. The pine nuts extracted will be very fragrant." Wen Xuan said.
Jinghan glanced at her younger brother. Wenxuan has become a little more in love in the past two years, and he doesn't have the chubby feeling he had when he was a child. Maybe it's because I really like the feeling of being chubby, so I treat Mingyu better and better. "What is our eldest sister doing at home?"
"What else can I do? Let's embroider wedding clothes. We are getting married in winter and there are a lot of things to do. Brother Pengcheng is going to take the exam. If he can pass the exam this time, our eldest sister will become a scholar. However, I still don't like my eldest sister getting married." Wenxuan curled his lips and didn't like the feeling that his sister would not be at home in the future.
Jinghan cut beans in the field, "No matter who you are, they will leave home when they grow up. Look at the fifth uncle, it's even further away. Fortunately, the eldest sister married in the town, which is not too far away, and we can often visit her in the future. We met." Jinghan doesn't like her sister getting married, but a woman will eventually take this step in her life, no matter what age she is.
"The second sister will also find someone close to her in the future, otherwise I won't obey." Wen Xuan said a little coquettishly.
Jinghan shook her head and smiled. This matter of marriage is not something that can be decided by anyone. "No matter where we are in the future, as long as we think about home."
The Xu family had a total of about seventy acres of land, and everyone worked together to collect it all in three or four days. It happened to be August 14th, and the old lady spoke. This year was Jingya's last time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, so she asked everyone to go back as soon as possible to celebrate the festival. Fortunately, this year the village had scheduled a festival on August 16th, and there was enough time to do so, so Zhixin and the others left the Wang and Fang families behind and prepared a lot of food for them so that they could have a good time on the mountain. Celebrate the festival. Then Zhixin took the Xu family and Mingyu back to the town, just in time to take back all the things Mingyu's brother had sent.
Zhixin and the others returned to the town in a bullock cart. Before they could reach the door of their house, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of Xu's house. They heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance. Jinghan felt a little confused and looked up at her father. "Dad, hurry up, let's go and find out what's going on." Zhixin nodded, whipped his whip in his hand, and the cow walked faster.
The family arrived at the door of their house. Zhixin got off the bullock cart and shouted as he walked in, "Everyone give way, everyone, give way, the master is back." Zhiming behind him was driving another car. At this moment Wencheng, Wenxuan, and Wenchang all jumped out of the car as well. The children of the Xu family are all tall and strong, so they just rushed in.
Naturally, the people gathered in front of the Xu family had neighbors. When everyone saw that someone from the Xu family was back, they quickly got out of the way and said. "Everyone, please step aside quickly. The scholar's father and mother are back."
Jinghan heard it from behind and her heart skipped a beat, "Master Xiucai? Are you talking about the eldest brother?"
At this time, the crowd had separated, and the Xu family arrived at the gate smoothly. They happened to see Wenhan standing in the middle of the crowd, saluting the people around him, "Dear neighbors, my nephew is not talented. Today, he passed the exam to become a scholar. It is also the Xu family's fault. My nephew has just come back from Fucheng, and I have been tired of traveling all the way. I would like to ask you, my uncles, to freshen up and meet your family before we discuss the matter of entertaining you."
While they were talking, Zhixin and his family came to Wenhan. It was such a joyful occasion to meet relatives, so Zhixin patted his son on the shoulder. "Son, well done." Then he turned back to face the crowd behind him. "Dear neighbors, today the dog is lucky enough to be selected as a scholar. Mr. Xu has nothing to express. There will be wine at noon and everyone will come to drink."
The old man was also very beautiful. He stood there and said, "Yes, yes, come for a drink at noon. Come, everyone."
There were a few people next to him, and they looked like they were from the yamen. Zhixin had experienced Zhixiang's scholar examination before, so he knew better. He quickly took out some silver and distributed it to those people. "I am in a hurry, so I can't give a red envelope. Please forgive me. I would like to express my gratitude to you and take it to a drink." Zhixin stuffed it into each of those people. Five taels of silver per person.
When several people saw the heavy silver in their hands, they immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Xu said nothing. It is our honor to be able to announce the good news to the scholar."
The old man led his children and grandchildren here to talk to these people, while Xue and Zhu took their children through the gate and went to see Mrs. Chen.
The only people in the family are Chen, Jingya, Jingwan, and Lao Wangtou. Mrs. Chen didn't know what was going on outside, so she just sent Lao Wangtou out to take a look. It happened that everyone came back, and the old lady knew that her eldest grandson had won the prize. "Hey, Merrill Lynch, hurry up and get some money and go out. Those who bring good news have to give red envelopes to others. This is a courtesy and cannot be spared." Ms. Chen stood up and went to get the money.
Ms. Xue stopped her and said, "Mom, Zhixin has given money to others. Life in our family has not been so tight in the past few years. We all have money in our hands, so you don't need to take it out."
Chen didn't listen, but still took out some money and gave it to Xue. "Even if you don't reward people with money, don't you still have to prepare a banquet at noon? Come on, take the money and go to the market and get ready quickly. This is a big happy event for our family, and we must celebrate it properly." The old lady finally said I love my eldest grandson so much that I couldn’t even close my mouth when I heard the news.
Mrs. Xue took the money and went with Mrs. Zhu to discuss what to do at noon, and then the two sisters-in-law went out to prepare. Of course, there were a lot of things to buy, and they couldn't handle them, so they asked Wen Cheng and others to follow.
Chen's happiness was not over yet, but she did notice Jinghan, Jingxian, and the little fat man next to Jinghan. "Hey, whose child is this? He looks really good. Come on, come over and let me see. He looks so blessed. Jinghan, why don't you tell grandma who this is?"
Jinghan hurriedly told her grandma about Mingyu's origin, and finally said, "Grandma, it was so noisy just now, so I forgot to introduce it to you. Mingyu, this is our grandma, you should follow Just call me grandma.”
Mingyu quickly came over to salute Chen, "Young man Li Mingyu, I have met Grandma Xu."
Mrs. Chen pulled Mingyu over, looked at him carefully, and kept nodding. "Good boy, since you are here, you should consider this place your home. Whatever you want to eat or play, just go to your sister Jinghan. She has many ideas. You can live here with peace of mind and don't need to miss home. This is your home." Since her son agreed to let the child stay, the old lady certainly wouldn't object. Besides, Mingyu looks very cute, and the old lady likes him at first sight, so naturally there will be no unpleasantness.
