Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

April 18th is the day when the young couple returns home. Early in the morning, Zixuan dug Jinghan up from her sleep. The two of them freshened up and went to the front yard to eat.

After breakfast, Zixuan drove back to her parents' home with Jinghan. Originally, the Yixing family wanted to find someone else to drive the carriage, or hire a sedan. Jinghan thought it was troublesome. They had to find the sedan chair from the town, so they might as well just go back to the town. So the young couple drove away in the ox cart.

It only takes two-quarters of an hour to get from the village to the town. Jinghan looked at the wild flowers and lush weeds on the roadside. She was in a very good mood and couldn't help humming a tune.

From a distance, she saw a lot of people standing at the front door of the Xu family. Jinghan thought that maybe Jingwan was back. This guy, the county seat is quite far away, he arrived so early. When I got closer, I realized that it wasn't Jingwan who was back, but that all the family members were at the door.

Zixuan parked the car and helped Jinghan down. The two of them hurriedly came to Zhixin and his wife, "Dad, Mom, we are back. Why are we still at the door?"

"When you come back today, my mother is thinking about it and wants to see my daughter as soon as possible." Mrs. Xue stepped forward and took Jinghan's hand, looking at Jinghan carefully. "Well, I look pretty good." Xue finally felt relieved. Although they knew that the Lin family would treat Jinghan well, how could this mother-in-law be at ease? You have to see it with your own eyes to feel relieved.

Wenxuan, Wenchang, Wenxing, as well as Jingxian, Jinghe, and Mingyu, all of a sudden surrounded Zixuan and Jinghan, "Second sister, we miss you." Jingxian suddenly said Hug Jinghan.

"Okay, let's all come in and talk. What does it look like standing at the gate and talking?" Zhiming said quickly.

The group of people quickly entered the hospital. Yongxing helped Zixuan unload everything from the car and then brought it to the house.

When the old man and the old lady saw that Jinghan and Zixuan were back, their faces were full of joy. "Quick, come and sit on the kang." The old man patted the position at the head of the kang and motioned for Zixuan to sit at the head of the kang.

Jinghan and Zixuan stood side by side. First they knelt down and kowtowed to the old man and the old lady, and then kowtowed to Zhixin and his wife. Then they stood up, the young couple took off their shoes and got on the kang, sitting at the head of the kang.

The old man chatted with Zixuan, and of course Chen talked to Jinghan with a smile, "How about it? Are you used to living there? I said at the beginning that I would bring you two dowry girls, and you had to refuse. . Waiting for you to go out, why don’t you still want to buy it?”

"Grandma, I'm pretty good. My mother-in-law doesn't need me to do anything. When I get up in the morning, the food is ready. Haha." Jinghan smiled, "As for the girl, I was just thinking about telling my third uncle that I I want him to buy some people for me in the county. If Zixuan wants to be an official, we must have some people at home. My mother-in-law and I calculated that it will take about seven or eight people. "

Mrs. Chen nodded, "That's more or less the same. You can do everything yourself when you go out, but not in our house. When you go out, you will be Zixuan's wife and the emperor's princess. You have to pay attention to these things. You must choose good ones, and you can't lose your face." Chen turned around and said to Zhiming, "Third brother, please help me with this matter. I don't think I'm afraid of buying two more people." If there is a family, we can sell a few more girls, so it will be easy to do the work. "

Zhiming nodded, "It's simple. Originally, I wanted to choose two people for Jingwan, but Jinghan didn't want it, so I didn't mention it. It just happened that we did it together this time." Jingwan was going back to the capital, and there were also people around her. You have to keep two caring people.

Jinghan was not polite and told Zhixin directly about using Changshun. Zhixin agreed without any hesitation. "Okay, my daughter can use whatever she wants. As long as you like it, dad won't give a shit."

While everyone was talking, Pengcheng and Jingya came with little Junhao in their arms. "This little guy just couldn't wake up this morning, and it was difficult to hold him in his arms, so he came late." Pengcheng looked at Jinghan. They all arrived, he said a little embarrassed.

Pengcheng is exactly six months old today. He is white, fat and very cute. As soon as Jinghan saw Junhao, she hugged him lovingly, "The little guy is getting heavier as he grows."

Xiao Junhao didn't cry or make trouble. He looked at Jinghan curiously with his big dark eyes. His chubby hand grabbed Jinghan's hand and put it in his mouth. Even though the little thing hasn’t had its teeth yet, it can bite people with no ambiguity at all. Jinghan's fingers hurt from being bitten by him. "Ah, is this little thing about to teeth? He loves to bite so much." Jinghan took out her fingers and looked at Junhao's mouth. Sure enough, she found that the middle part of the gums below was white and hard. "Sure enough, you are about to teeth, haha, you will soon become a little rabbit." Jinghan said with a smile.

"Isn't it because he's teething? He keeps biting while breastfeeding these days." Jinghan took her son and complained.

Children who are teething will have itchy teeth, so they love to bite.

"Children all have this time. Just wait until the teeth come out." Mrs. Xue heard it from the side and said quickly.

While everyone was talking, some people from the publicity department outside shouted, "The third sister and the third brother-in-law are back."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried out to greet him. Naturally, Zixuan and Jinghan couldn't go out. Jingya was also in the house holding little Junhao, and then there was the old man and the old lady. The remaining people all went out, and not long after, a large group of people came in again.

Jingwan and Qi Yunfei were surrounded by everyone and entered the room. They had to salute their elders first, and then everyone sat down together to chat.

Jingwan looks good, with a rosy complexion and a smile on her face. Occasionally when she looks at Qi Yunfei, she will blush shyly, but her shyness and overflowing happiness make her look very moving.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Zhu was relieved. After talking to my daughter for a while, I went to the kitchen to see how the meal was being prepared.

When the old man saw that everyone was here today, he coughed and said, "It just so happens that everyone at home is here today. I have something to say."

Everyone was in a daze, no one spoke, they all looked at the old man.

"Our family is now considered a big family. We have two talented people, one is a civil servant and the other is a Jinshi. We also have two uncles who are Jinshi. This is amazing. Wenxuan and Wenchang will also have Wenxing in the future. Maybe they can still take the exam. Even better, this is the blessing of our Xu family. Now that the family business is getting bigger, the children have to go their separate ways. I think it’s better to divide the family now.” On the bed, he held a cigarette pouch in his hand but was not smoking.

When Zhixin and Zhiming heard this, they both expressed objections. The old man waved his hands to prevent them from talking. "The family fortune is big, and we must share it, otherwise we will be in trouble in the future. You brothers get along well with each other, and I am very happy about this. But relatives are relatives, wealth is wealth, and brothers must settle accounts clearly. Divide now, rather than cause trouble later. It’s much stronger if you divide it again.”

Zhixin and Zhiming both stopped talking, and Zhide was even more silent next to them. He had never contributed to this family, so how could he have any say?

"Logically speaking, our family was actually divided before. After you got married, we all separated. As for the second child's family, they were not separated because the second child was outside. Later, the third child met Things happened, and we came back to live together. The fourth child and the fifth child will not have anything to do with your family this time. Over the years, our family has also accumulated some wealth. What I mean is that. We have two boys, Wenhan and Wenxuan, and the land on the mountain is reserved for the eldest son. The eldest son is also used to doing it. The third son has a boy named Wen Cheng. Besides, the third son is not a farmer. , so I will give you the restaurant in the county. If you have the ability, you can open separate shops." The old man's arrangement is of course based on the specific conditions of the two families.

"We still have about 20,000 taels of silver at home. Give Wenxing 2,000 taels of silver and keep it for my wife in the future. Fourth brother, you can help take care of this, but you are not allowed to use it for flowers." Although the family is separated. There is no share of Zhi De, but the grandson must have it.

"For the rest, give Wenchang 5,000 taels. This is what the second room deserves. Now Wencheng has passed to the third room. Wenchang is the person who established the household on the second room, so these are given to him. Give Wencheng 3,000 taels and keep them for cooking. We spent a thousand taels on medicinal materials in the autumn, which was what our grandparents wanted. Wen Han was going to be an official, so he spent a thousand taels on it. Keep it for your wife. There are still five thousand taels left, which is the cross-river money for our old couple." The old man gave all the cash at home to his grandson.

"Boss, if your father is so divided, your family will suffer. Over the years, you have contributed the most. If you have something on your mind, you have to say it quickly." The old lady felt sorry for her eldest son and hurriedly asked Zhixin .

"Mom, dad is right. The third child and his family have suffered a lot in recent years. The second child also joined the army for our family. That's it, we have no objection." Ms. Xue did not wait for Zhixin If you speak, express your position quickly. "Besides, these things are all earned by people. As long as there are people here, what things don't exist? What kind of life did our family live in the village before? Who would have thought that we would still have today? This is already good. ”

Zhixin also nodded, "Father, mother, that's it. You two can be with whomever you like, but it would be better if you were still with us. Just save the five thousand taels of silver that your two elders have and give them to you." It doesn’t cost you anything.”

"What about the third child? What do you two mean?" the old lady asked Zhiming again.

"Mom, we didn't say anything. If it hadn't been for my eldest brother and my parents, we wouldn't be in the right place. We are content to be where we are today," Zhu said quickly.

Today I was busy paying for the demolition of my bungalow and getting the keys. I posted a chapter early in the morning and left without checking whether the posting was successful. When I came back in the afternoon, I found that it had not been sent out at all. Uh, I'm very sorry.
