Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

The next day, Zhixin and Xue brought many gifts to the master's house. Wenhan had told the Master a long time ago, so the Master specially asked for leave and waited at home. When the two parties met, the conversation was quite speculative.

The husband's surname is Zheng, and his wife is Feng. She is a very virtuous woman. The couple seems to have a good relationship.

Of course Master Zheng understood the purpose of Zhixin and his wife, so he asked his wife to chat with Mr. Xue, and looked for an opportunity for his daughter to come out to meet Zhixin and his wife.

Mr. Xue saw that this girl was indeed as her son said. She was not that outstanding in appearance. What was rare was that she was dignified, elegant and bookish. My son is going to take the imperial examination and may pursue an official career in the future. It would be good to have a daughter-in-law who can read and write.

After the girl left, Mrs. Xue told Mrs. Feng about Wenhan's marriage, "Sister-in-law, I'm really optimistic about your daughter. You also know my Wenhan, if you think it's okay, let's talk about the marriage." It’s settled. Let’s formalize the marriage after I find a matchmaker. Wen Han is not young anymore, so we are parents, so what do you think?”

"Since my sister-in-law said that, what else can I say? Sister-in-law, please go back and find a matchmaker." Mrs. Feng had already taken a liking to Wenhan, and when she heard what Ms. Xue said, she quickly agreed.

Things went very smoothly, and Zhixin and Zheng Fuzi also had a good conversation. Because Wenhan hadn't prepared anything for the engagement, the two families discussed it and decided to wait until after the spring plowing before getting engaged. It would be better not to delay the spring plowing.

After the discussion, Zhixin and his wife left the Zheng family and returned to the restaurant. "Third brother, we are getting busy at home. We have to go back quickly. Wen Cheng has set an engagement on the 26th of this month, and we have to go back quickly to prepare." This year, the happy events in our family have come one after another. But that's enough for a busy person.

After some discussion, everyone decided that both Zhixin and his wife and Zhiming would go back to town, leaving Jinghan to take care of them. Anyway, Wen Han and Zixuan also live here. If you need anything, they can both help.

Although Jinghan missed her family, she also knew that the engagement was a big deal and her parents had to go back. Besides, the spring plowing will start soon. Even if I go back, I won't be able to help much. It's better for them to go back. "Mom, if Uncle Yue gets duck eggs, he will send them all to the mountain. The aunts of the Fang family and the Wang family on the mountain will hatch goose eggs. I think there will be no problem with duck eggs. Let them work hard. If the eggs are good, I will give them to them when the time comes. Wrap a big red envelope. Hong Lian and the others also need to keep an eye on the tussahs. Our family has been spending too much money these past two years, so it would be nice to earn more." Don't worry, I told you several times.

"Okay, don't worry. We are used to doing these things, and nothing can go wrong. Just stay here and watch the restaurant. Our restaurant is newly opened. Although it looks pretty good now, But you must not be careless. If there is something that the old shopkeeper can't handle, you just have to make the decision. With you here, I can rest assured." Zhixin couldn't bear to leave his daughter here, but he was really busy. No, Jinghan has a lot of ideas, and staying here can make a big difference.

Zhixin reached out and patted his daughter on the shoulder, "You should be more careful here. If you have anything to do, discuss it with your elder brother and Pengcheng Zixuan. You have a hot temper. No matter what kind of guests you meet, you must be patient. Don't suffer a loss. I have also asked Guoxing and Anshun to protect you. When Wencheng is done, your third aunt will come back first, which is only a matter of ten days or eight. ." Zhixin was also worried about his daughter and couldn't help but give a few more warnings.

After everyone discussed it, they decided to go back in the afternoon. At noon, Wenhan and Zixuan came back. Zhixin talked with them for a while and told them to take good care of Jinghan.

"Dad, don't worry. We don't have anything big to do in school. If it doesn't work out, just take a few days off and stay home. It's only ten or eight days, so it's okay." Wen Han was also worried about his sister. No matter how talented Jinghan is, she is still a girl, and there are some things that she can't stand up to.

"Okay, you can take care of these things. If possible, don't ask for leave. You will be here at noon and night, so it won't be a big deal. You must not delay your studies, you know?" Zhixin is still relatively concerned about his son. Relieved. "Zixuan, if you are free, please spend more time with Jinghan. You are an unmarried couple, so you should have more contact. Our family is not that old-fashioned. You get along well, and we, as elders, are happy to see you."

"Thank you uncle, Zixuan will meet you." Zixuan agreed with a smile.

After lunch, the four of us drove home. Wenhan and Zixuan originally wanted to go back to school to ask for leave, but Jinghan refused to let them go, saying that she had nothing to do here and they were not allowed to delay their homework. Wenhan knew his sister's temper. If they didn't listen, Jinghan would get angry, so he went back to school with Zixuan obediently.

The restaurant is now on the right track, so Jinghan doesn't have to worry about it. As the weather gradually warmed up, Jinghan made clothes for Zixuan and Wenhan in the backyard. She is not an outstanding actress. Now that the marriage has been decided, it is time to practice hard. Otherwise, when we get married, we will really be unable to do this needlework.

Zixuan knew that Jinghan was doing needlework, so he told her not to work for too long and to go out for a walk when she had time, even to accompany Jingya. So Jinghan took time to do needlework for a while every day, and then went to Jingya's place to sit for a while and talk to Jingya.

This season is a good time for all things to revive and spring flowers to bloom.

"Jinghan, let's take a break tomorrow and go hiking. It gets warmer in this county earlier than in our place, and the solar term this year is also earlier than in previous years. I heard that the azaleas on the mountain are in bloom. Let's go to the mountain to have a look tomorrow." Zixuan said excitedly as soon as he came back.

"Okay, I have nothing to do at home anyway." When Jinghan heard about going mountain climbing, she immediately became excited. She was so depressed at home these days that she wanted to go out a long time ago. "Then where are we going?"

"Beishan, I heard the scenery there is pretty good." As soon as Zixuan saw Jinghan's look, he knew she was tired of staying at home. He stretched out his hand and pinched Jinghan's nose, "I know that this little girl like you must be depressed at home, so I thought of taking you out. Change into neat clothes tomorrow, and I will take you to have fun." Zixuan was gentle. He looked at Jinghan, and as soon as he said he wanted to take her out to play, Jinghan immediately became excited. This is the Jinghan he likes, so fresh and agile. Watching Wen Wen and Jing Han quietly working as a female celebrity these days, Zixuan felt as if he was in a dream, not real at all.

Wenhan looked at these two people, shook his head and went to read a book. The two of them were in love with each other here, but he always felt superfluous here.

Early the next morning, Zixuan and Jinghan went out. Beishan is just to the north of the county seat, and it's not far away. The two of them didn't need to take a car, so they just walked slowly north.

The name of this county is Shuangdian County, which is named after there are two Dadianzi in the south of the county. The county town is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. It is a small basin. To the west of the county seat is a large river, and this river is the Songhua River.

Ever since Jinghan came to this world, she had never carefully inquired which dynasty this was, because she knew that this would definitely not be the history she was familiar with. According to the history that Jinghan knows, this place only existed at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it is obviously not the Qing Dynasty now.

Furthermore, Jinghan didn't want to do anything earth-shattering at all, she just wanted to live a peaceful life. No matter which dynasty he comes from, isn't the life of ordinary people just food, rice, oil and salt?

Although I still feel a little strange in my heart, why the names of these places are very similar to those in previous lives. But Jinghan didn't pay too much attention. The place names and people's names were the same. They were just symbols, just for differentiation.

Both of them were not in a hurry and walked slowly towards the north gate of the county. After leaving the north gate, they walked two miles and reached the root of Beishan. Sure enough, the mountains are full of azaleas. Looking from a distance, they are as bright as clouds, which is very beautiful.

Zixuan reached out and took Jinghan's hand, "Be careful, there is only this path here, there are many rocks, so be careful where you step."

Jinghan did not refuse and let Zixuan hold her hand, and the two of them walked up the mountain. Zixuan is strong and Jinghan has never missed exercising, so the climb up the mountain was not very tiring. In less than two quarters of an hour, the two of them reached the mountainside, where the mountain was already covered in azalea.

Jinghan wore a peach red top and light green pants today. Standing among the azaleas, they looked like the same color. Zixuan looked at Jinghan's beautiful face and was so fascinated. "I just realized today what it means to be more beautiful than a flower. You stand among the flowers, but the flowers lose their color. The azaleas all over the mountain are not as colorful as yours." Zixuan couldn't bear it. Zhu said.

Jinghan's face turned red, "Don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, you will have to be accused of being frivolous. Come on, let's go further up. I want to go to the top of the mountain to have a look." Jinghan said, turned around and continued walking up the mountain.

Zixuan quickly followed, "Jinghan, slow down, it's not easy to walk on this mountain, so be careful."

Jinghan had grown up in the mountains and forests since she was a child. Even if she was not afraid of this, she started running forward as soon as she became interested. Laughing while running, the hillside was filled with Jinghan's brisk laughter. "Zixuan, let's compete to see who reaches the top of the mountain first, okay?"

"Okay, the loser will be punished." Zixuan was infected by Jinghan's excitement and followed Jinghan in hot pursuit.

"What did you say you were going to punish? I don't believe it. You can still win me?" Jinghan didn't take it to heart. She has been going up and down the mountains and rivers all these years. Unlike Zixuan, she has been in the school. Study inside.

"The loser has to promise the winner something. As for what it is, it can't be too difficult, how about it?" Zixuan didn't think about the bet, he just said it casually.

"Okay, Zixuan, hurry up, or you will really lose." Jinghan's voice was clear and sweet, very beautiful.

Not far from Jinghan, several people were admiring the flowers. After hearing Jinghan's voice, one of them looked up and looked at the source of the voice, "Whose little lady is this? Well done, the sound is so nice.”
