Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

As soon as Zixuan entered the room, his eyes were fixed on Jinghan and did not move away. We often didn't see each other before, but the feeling was not as strong as this time. Zixuan missed Jinghan every day, and he wished he could take a day off to go back and see her. Zixuan would really be able to do this if he wasn't thinking about the examination. He didn't expect to see Jinghan today. Seeing Jinghan's flowery smile, his mind gradually calmed down.

"Uncle, aunt." Zixuan stepped forward to greet Zhixin and his wife.

Zhixin looked at Zixuan with a smile, then looked at Pengcheng, feeling so beautiful. Of these two outstanding young men, one has become his son-in-law, and the other is about to become his son-in-law. He now feels that he has had fewer girls. It would be great if he had two more. Maybe he could have two more outstanding sons-in-law. "Come, come and sit down, don't be so polite. We, our own family, don't use this trick. Jinghan, why don't you say hello to Zixuan?"

Jinghan lowered her head when she entered the room from Zixuan, but she could still feel Zixuan's passionate gaze. When he heard his father's words, he looked up and met Zixuan's loving eyes. Jinghan's face suddenly turned red, "Zixuan." But she didn't know what to say next.

Jingxian looked at Jinghan, then at Zixuan, then smiled and said, "Second sister, you are usually very sharp-tongued. What's going on today? Why aren't you talking?"

When Jinghan heard this, she immediately raised her eyes and stretched out her hand to pinch Jingxian's face. "Little girl, I told you to talk to me. It would be weird if I didn't pinch you."

Ms. Xue quickly stopped her, "Okay, okay, this is your brother-in-law's house. Don't mess around. Everything is fine." After saying that, he hugged Jingxian in his arms.

Just then Bai Wei came in, "Master, Master, the food is ready. When will it be served?"

"Now, I got up too early in the morning. Everyone should be hungry by now. Three meals today." Jingya ordered.

So the table was set here and everyone had a meal together.

After lunch, Zhixin and his wife followed the Yue family's carriage back to town, while the three Jinghan sisters stayed behind. They finally made it to the county, and of course they had to stay for a few more days. Jingya's abrupt move out to live alone was not smooth sailing, but it would be better if Jinghan and the others were with her.

When Zixuan heard that Jinghan would stay in the county for a few more days, he was naturally very happy. There were classes in the afternoon, so Zixuan and Wenhan were leaving together. Jinghan called out to the two of them, "Brother, Zixuan, we brought you clothes from home. It's a new idea I came up with. Everyone in the family has them, only you two are missing. Wait a minute, I'll get them. "With that said, Jinghan went to get the down jackets made for the two of them.

Wenhan's is a dark blue coat, Zixuan's is an indigo coat, and the other two have brown waistcoats.

Jingwan saw Zixuan taking the clothes and said with a smile. "Brother, your set was made by my mother with help. Brother Zixuan, your set was made by my second sister. Every stitch and every stitch was done by her herself, no one else was needed."

After hearing this, Zixuan's eyes lit up and he asked softly, "Is it true?"

Jinghan nodded, "Well, I worked on it for four days to make these two clothes." Jinghan was really grateful to her eldest sister for forcing herself to learn needlework every winter, so she was not ashamed.

Zixuan was in a good mood, and he knew Jinghan's temperament best. If you ask Jinghan to go up the mountain, she will run faster than anyone else. But if you want her to do needlework at home, and do it for four days, it is simply worse than going to jail. Jinghan was able to persist for four days and make clothes for herself. How could Zixuan not understand this love? "Don't do more needlework in the future, and be careful with your eyes." Zixuan said softly.

"Well, I know, I'm not making clothes for you." Jinghan was still a little bit confused, her voice was small.

When Wenhan saw that it was almost time, he called Zixuan to come with him. Zixuan held the clothes in his arms and when he walked to the door, he looked back at Jinghan. "Please stay a few more days this time. Wen Han and I come here often."

Before Jinghan could answer, Jingya laughed. "You guys can come in the evening and eat here from now on. Pengcheng told me that the food in the school is not delicious at all. This is our own home. Whatever you like to eat can be cooked by the kitchen. Brother, why don't you move here? There are too few people in such a big yard, so it would feel awkward if there were many people here. "Jing Ya, this is also true. The Xu family has a larger population. Jingya has long been used to it. Now that there are only these few people here, it really feels deserted.

Pengcheng praised from the side, "This is a good idea, I really didn't think of it. Yes, eldest brother, Zixuan, you can move here too. We can still do homework together in the three nights, which is quite good." "

Wenhan shook his head, "We'll talk about it after a while. You guys have just separated to live a separate life, and nothing goes smoothly."

After listening to what her eldest sister and brother-in-law said, Jinghan suddenly felt that her family could buy a house in the county, maybe a shop. When the time comes, there will be business in the front and people can live in the back. Now the Xu family has no shortage of money, but they only rely on the produce of the fields. It is said that there is no stability without farmers, and no wealth without business. Maybe it is time to build a few shops and houses.

Jinghan just thought about it in her heart and didn't express it. This was not a trivial matter. She had to go back and discuss it with her family.

Everyone sent Wenhan and Zixuan away, and agreed that they would come for dinner in the evening, and then everyone returned to the house. Jingya arranged accommodation for Jinghan and the others. It happened that no one lived in the east and west courtyards, so Jinghan and the others were asked to live in the east courtyard. There were luggage and everything, and they were put on the kang to dry.

The next day, Pengcheng also returned to the county school and continued studying. Then at noon and evening, Wenhan and Zixuan came back to Pengcheng for dinner. This gave Zixuan a chance to see Jinghan every day, which was a relief from the pain of lovesickness.

The Jinghan sisters stayed in the county for five days. When nothing happened, Jinghan wandered around the county town. She had the idea of ​​buying a shop, so of course she had to pay more attention. Jinghan saw a restaurant that said it was going to be cashed out, so she went to inquire about it. It turned out that the owner of this restaurant was moving, so she wanted to sell the restaurant out, just in time to get some money for travel expenses.

The location of this restaurant is excellent. It is in the center of the county and there are various shops nearby. Jinghan is a girl, and it is not convenient for her to stand out after all. So he asked Pengcheng's boy named Yue Hai to go in and ask about the price of the restaurant, while Jinghan went back to Pengcheng's house.

"Replying to Miss Jinghan, the owner of this restaurant said that it would cost 800 taels of silver to exchange, so the price he offered was a little too high. These days, several people came to negotiate the price, but they all thought the price was too high. So I didn't ask." Yue Hai went in to ask, then came out and asked around again, and then gave Jinghan a reply. "Some neighbors nearby also said that there is nothing wrong with this restaurant, it's just that the owner is moving. Miss Jinghan, in fact, the price of 800 taels is not bad. This is a restaurant in the front, and there are two more in the back. As for the yard, the yard at the back is very big, almost the same as my young master’s house. Even if there is no one to live in, it can be converted into an inn or something without any delay. "This Yue Hai is from the Yue family and is very business-minded.

"Sister, I have to go home quickly and discuss it with my grandma. If possible, I will buy this restaurant. The third aunt is very knowledgeable about these things. I have to go to her to discuss it." Jinghan is the kind of impatient person. Once you have a goal, you have to accomplish it quickly.

Of course Jingya knew what was wrong with Jinghan and knew that she couldn't keep her, so she quickly ordered Yue Hai and Yue Tao to find a carriage and hire a separate car to send the three Jinghan sisters back. He also asked Yue Hai to follow him and wait until he was delivered to the town before following the carriage back.

Yue Hai worked quickly and found the carriage in a short time. The three sisters didn't bring anything with them, so they didn't need to pack it up now. They just got in the carriage and went home. Yue Hai sat in front with the driver, and they returned to the town all the way.

Zhixin and the others happened to be at home. When Jinghan came back, everyone was a little confused. Why did she come back so soon?

Jinghan directly said that she wanted to buy a restaurant, and then looked at the old man, "Grandpa, do you think this will happen?"

The old man pondered for a long time before he said, "Normally speaking, we are a farmer, and we mainly farm. However, Grandpa also saw that just digging in the soil is really not good. You and your father still have to deal with this matter. Let your third aunt discuss it, and I advise you to ask shopkeeper Sun for his opinion. After all, he has been doing this for many years and has a lot of experience. He is more accurate than us. "

Jinghan listened and nodded. Otherwise, ginger is still hotter than old. The old man got to the point right away. You have to find someone knowledgeable to give you some advice, otherwise Jinghan has never worked in a restaurant and she really doesn’t understand what’s going on there. "Grandpa, I understand. OK, then my father and I will go visit Shopkeeper Sun."

Zhixin also knew that this was a good thing, but it was already getting late, "Jinghan, you were rushing back all the way, but you didn't feel hungry? You didn't even look at what time it was. Let's eat first." Let’s eat, and then go to Shopkeeper Sun’s place tomorrow morning. Even if the restaurant is very profitable, we have to have a full stomach first.”

When Jinghan heard this, she remembered that it was getting dark outside. She touched her belly and found that it was all gurgling. Jinghan said a little embarrassed, "I forgot about it, hahaha."

Everyone quickly put the food on the table and had dinner together.
