Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Everyone followed them outside. There were several large boxes placed in the yard, presumably as thank-you gifts from the Li family. Zhixin wanted to tell them to take everything away, but when he saw Mingyu looking at him pitifully, he couldn't say this anymore. Forget it, just accept it for the sake of Mingyu.

Mingyu walked to the gate and looked back at everyone in the Xu family again. "Go back, it's quite cold outside. I will come again when I have the chance. Uncle and auntie, please don't bother me." Mingyu forced a smile. After a moment, he returned to the carriage at the door.

Li Jin hugged everyone and then got on his horse. The guards behind him also got on their horses. Li Jin was in the front, shaking the reins, and the horse spread its hooves and started running. Mingyu's carriage was in the middle, followed by the rest of the guards, and a group of about ten people roared away.

It wasn't until the carriage was no longer visible that everyone entered the house. Zhixin, Pengcheng, and Xue and Zhu moved the box into the house.

As soon as the old man looked at the box, he sighed, "Oh, we shouldn't accept these things. Forget it, since it was our family that first rescued Mingyu's eldest brother and then took in Mingyu, so Just don't worry about that. It's okay if you accept it, they don't owe us anything, and they don't think we want to repay the debt. "

The boxes were all numbered. Chen and the others opened the first box first. There was a letter and a gift list on the top. Jinghan opened the letter. It was written by Li Mingrui. It was just to thank the Xu family for keeping Mingyu. Since the New Year was coming, sending something would be regarded as a New Year gift or something. Jinghan then opened the gift list. This gift list was different. There were separate items for each person. Everyone in the Xu family had a gift.

Jinghan took the list and was shocked. Li Mingrui actually knew everyone in the Xu family and sent things according to everyone's preferences. Does this mean that during the time Mingyu was in the Xu family, someone was secretly monitoring his home? That's right, how could a young man from a wealthy family be thrown into a farmhouse like this? Thinking about it, Li Mingrui wouldn't be relieved, right?

Fortunately, Mingyu left, otherwise wouldn't the family still be under surveillance? Jinghan breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Mrs. Chen everything about everyone.

"Same goes for the eldest son of the Li family. How did he know about these people in our family? He also prepared gifts for everyone. Forget it, it's rare for him to show his kindness, so just take it. I'll separate it for you. "Take it back each." Mrs. Chen smiled, of course she was confused, but she was older and would not show it when something happened.

These things are also some silks, porcelain, tea, jade and so on. Of course, they are given to the old man and the old lady, as well as some expensive supplements. What was given to Zhiming was a few books of ancient prescriptions, what was given to the boys were the best four treasures of the study produced in various places, and Wenhan had a few extra stones for carving seals, including chicken blood and field yellow. In addition to the clothes and cloth, the girl was given a set of headgear with gemstones and a set of jade ornaments. Jinghan also received a separate jade pendant.

That jade pendant is made of fine mutton-fat jade, with a phoenix carved on it. The carving is exquisite, and the flying phoenix spreads its wings, lifelike. Jinghan got the jade pendant, but she didn't feel happy. Her intuition told her that this thing was a trouble. "Mom, I've lost a lot of hair in one day. Please help me keep this thing, so I don't accidentally break it." Jinghan directly gave the jade pendant to Xue.

Xue didn't say anything and put the jade pendant away. When Mrs. Chen saw that the things were almost divided, she told everyone to take the things to their own rooms and keep them safe.

Jingya also got a lot of things, so Pengcheng said he didn't want these things and gave them to Jinghan. Jinghan didn’t want it, so he gave it to Jingwan. "Jingwan, you're about to get married, so I'll keep these for you. I think these things can be worth a lot of money, and I'll keep them as dowries." The jewelry sent by the Li family is made of exquisite materials and craftsmanship. Exquisite and novel in style, it is perfectly fine to keep it as a dowry.

Just as Jingwan was about to shirk, Mrs. Chen asked her to accept it, so Jingwan accepted it too.

Everyone was a little tired from being sad and sorting out these things just now, so Mrs. Chen said that she wanted to rest for a while, and everyone took their things and went back to the house.

Jingya and Pengcheng came back for a short stay, so naturally they couldn't live in the backyard, so the two of them lived in Zhixin's yard.

The young couple stayed at Xu's house for two days and then returned to Yue's house. Do you still need to prepare for moving? This is a big event and a lot of things need to be prepared.

On the morning of the twelfth day of the winter lunar month, the Xu family had breakfast early, and then Zhixin, Xue, and sisters Jinghan went to Yue's house.

Pengcheng and Jingya have already packed their things. In fact, this move does not involve moving everything. Over at the new house, Yue Siyuan has prepared all the furniture and other items. Here, he just needs to bring clothes, bedding and other things. Yue Siyuan assigned two rough ladies, two girls, a concierge, and two servants to Pengcheng. In addition, Jingya's two dowry girls also followed. In this case, basically the manpower is enough.

Because Pengcheng was still studying, Yue Siyuan gave them five hundred taels of silver, which was the cost of settling them down. In fact, it's just a name. The family doesn't lack anything, and this money is just for them. But this is the only time he gives money. Yue Siyuan will no longer care about how the two of them live in the future. Even though these five hundred taels seem like a lot, if you don't know how to save and spend them carelessly, you will lose everything.

As soon as the Xu family arrived, everyone got in the car and walked to the county town. It took a total of four carriages to bring people and things together. Jingya's dowry alone was quite a lot, not to mention some of Pengcheng's things. The Yue family has two carriages, and the remaining two are hired from the town.

It took less than two hours to get from the town to the county. At the beginning of noon, everyone arrived at Pengcheng's house in the county. The housekeeper of the Yue family had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw the young master and young mistress arriving, he quickly stepped forward to greet them. "Master, Mistress, the house has been cleaned by someone. In addition, firewood, rice and other daily necessities have been prepared. You can just start the fire and cook later."

Pengcheng nodded, turned around and helped Jingya get out of the car, and then said to Zhixin and his wife, "Mom, dad, let's go in and take a look."

Jinghan is a little dissatisfied with the Yue family's family rules. You said that if you really want your children and grandchildren to be independent, don't give them anything if you can? Just let them go out and make their own way. This guy bought a house, bought his daily necessities, and had a bunch of girls and women to take care of him. He also gave him so much money as settlement expenses. This was obviously a different way to support him. However, the cost in daily life is not small. Five hundred taels seems like a lot, but if there is no income at all, it is actually not worth spending.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you two should go in with a rice bucket." Jinghan said aloud. There are also things to pay attention to when moving. When you first enter the house, you can't go empty-handed. It's best to hold a rice bucket, noodle vat or something like that. Jinghan was at Yue's house just now and asked Bai Wei to get a rice bucket. Jinghan threw two silver coins into the rice bucket, and then handed them to Jingya, "Sister, take them in."

Jingya shook her head and smiled, "You are the one who pays the most attention in a day." After saying that, the young couple entered the courtyard first. Then everyone followed in.

This east house is similar to the Xu family's, divided into front and back yards, as well as east and west courtyards. Such a yard would seem too spacious for Pengcheng and his wife. If there are more children in the future, it will be enough to live in. It seems that Yue Siyuan really wants to settle things once and for all, and his vision is quite long-term.

Jingya and his wife went to the kitchen first and put the rice bucket into the kitchen. Then Jingya lit the fire herself and burned the bottom of the pot. Next is the matter of the two women. There is everything in the kitchen and they know what to do.

Everyone came to the living room in the front yard. In fact, except for the kitchen, which was waiting for the hostess to light the fire, the rest of the place was already on fire. Otherwise, in this winter, the kang would be cold, so how long would it take to warm the house?

Everyone sat down, and Jinghan and Jingwan Jingxian took out the things prepared by the Xu family, "Sister, this is a housewarming celebration prepared by grandma for you." In fact, it's nothing, just a set of fine porcelain tea sets. Two boxes of tea, four pieces of cloth, and a set of four treasures of the study. In addition, Mrs. Chen was afraid that her granddaughter would not have enough money to spend, so she gave her a fifty-tael red envelope alone.

Pengcheng took these things and kept thanking him, "Grandma is too thoughtful. This is called moving, but in fact it is just that. It has cost grandma a lot of money."

Zhixin smiled, "You just need to live a good life. These things are just a little bit of our thoughts. By the way, where are Wenhan and the others studying? At this time, isn't it time for lunch? "

Pengcheng quickly sent the boy to the county school to find Wenhan and Zixuan. After hearing this, the boy hurriedly went out to run errands.

Everyone was chatting and talking, and Bai Wei led the two girls sent by the Yue family to the kitchen to help, leaving Bai He alone to wait here.

Not long after, there were footsteps outside, and Pengcheng said, "It should be Wenhan and Zixuan." Bai He hurried to open the door, and it turned out to be Wenhan and Zixuan.

As soon as the two entered the house, they saw the people in the house, "Father, mother, why are you here? Yue Hai didn't say anything just now. He just said that Pengcheng moved to the town today. I'm still thinking, I don’t know who came to our family, but I didn’t expect you all to come.” Wen Han said excitedly when he saw his family.
