Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

The family had breakfast, but before Zixuan and his wife were about to leave for Erlin's house, there was a commotion outside. It turned out that Yumei and Haiming were coming with their children.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you are finally back." Before this person entered the room, Yumei's voice came in first.

Yumei and Wu Haiming each held a girl, and Haiming was accompanied by a little boy, who looked much older than Qingyuan.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Wu Haiming smiled honestly.

As soon as Jinghan saw the two little girls from Yumei's family, she couldn't let go. "Come on, let me take a look at these two little girls." After saying that, he stepped forward and took the one in Yumei's arms. "The looks of this little girl really follow you. She's so beautiful." This one should be the youngest, probably about the same as Qingyao. The one held by Hai Ming is larger and slightly smaller than that of Qingyuan.

The children in Yumei's family are all good-looking. The two little girls have pink faces, big eyes, and red mouths. The Wu family is one of the richest families in the village, and the Lin family is not an ordinary family. Yumei's life is very comfortable. Generally, there is no need to work in the fields, and all one needs to do is take care of the children at home. So the children cleaned up very neatly. Unlike some families, the children are all snot-nosed and extremely dirty.

No matter who it is, they will be fond of such a clean and beautiful little doll. Jinghan had been looking forward to having a girl, but now that she saw these two little things, she was naturally very happy. "Chunliu, go get the meeting gift I prepared."

When she returned home this time, Jinghan had people prepare many things for her children. In the Lin family, only Yumei has a child, but in the Xu family, Jinghan is relatively low in the ranking, and the brothers and sisters in front of her have several children. As a result, a lot of preparations must be made just for the meeting gifts, otherwise it may not be enough.

Chunliu naturally understood and went back to get the things. Jinghan gave Yumei's son a jade pendant, and each of the two little girls a silver necklace with a gold lock on it.

"Yumei, I came back in a hurry and couldn't prepare anything good. This is just a little bit of my thoughts. Don't dislike it." Jinghan said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, look at what you said, we are all our own relatives, why do we care about these things? These things cost a lot of money. Sister-in-law, I'd better leave it to Qingyuan and the others. Yuxiang is too naughty, I'm afraid it won't last for two days It's just lost." Yumei said quickly when she heard this.

"It's okay, let him play. When he gets tired of playing, you can help him put it away and keep it for later when he grows up. As for our two daughters, when you grow up, your aunt will definitely give you the best gift. The jewelry will make you look like flowers." Jinghan didn't care, she was a rich person now, so she didn't care about this at all.

Zixuan took Haiming to talk while He quickly picked up Yuxiang and went to play in Qingyuan.

Yumei and Jinghan each held a child and talked here. "Sister-in-law, can you stay a little longer this time? When you have free time, come over to my place and sit for a while. We haven't seen each other for several years." The two were good friends in the past, and now they have become sisters-in-law. The relationship is naturally closer than before.

"By the way, how are Xiaoxiu and Xiaojuan?" Jinghan remembered a few good friends from back then.

Yumei's expression changed and she sighed, "Sister-in-law, Xiaoxiu is okay. Although the family she married into is not a wealthy family, she still has some land at home, so there is some leftover throughout the year." Yumei Talking about the situation of friends.

"But Xiaojuan can't do it. Her family is not good in the first place. You don't know her mother's temperament. She is just a money-grubber. In order to get more betrothal gifts, she married Xiaojuan to a house-filler whose wife had died. . That man's first wife was tortured to death by her mother-in-law. The first two years of her marriage were fine, but their family didn't dare to do anything. When Xiaojuan gave birth to a girl, her mother-in-law was in trouble. It’s not like I’ve been picking and choosing things all day long. Now Xiaojuan is having a hard time, and she still hasn’t been able to conceive another child.”

Yumei felt quite uncomfortable talking about Xiaojuan. There are only a few childhood playmates who get along well with each other, but the experiences of each of them are different. Knowing her friend's situation, Yumei had visited her before and secretly gave Xiaojuan some money. But it’s of no use, right? Her mother-in-law is so awesome. But the man is boring. He has no idea about anything and only listens to my mother. She just let her mother polish Xiaojuan without daring to say a word.

"When you have time someday, you can lead me to take a look. We are all playmates who grew up together. If we can help, we will help. If we can't help, there is nothing we can do. This woman, If you don't have a good mother-in-law, you will suffer in the first half of your life, and if you don't have a good in-laws, you will suffer in the second half of your life. Xiaojuan's life will be miserable, and her mother-in-law's family will not be good." Jinghan sighed, knowing Xiaojuan's mother-in-law before. It's not good for her, I thought I would be better off if we were married.

"Okay, then let's just wait until the Chinese New Year. Xiaojuan will be able to come back by then. I'm annoyed by her mother-in-law." When Yumei talked about Xiaojuan's mother-in-law, she gritted her teeth. .

"Okay, don't just talk here. You should go to your second aunt first and see if there is anything you can do to help. There is no need to take the child there. We are busy there today and can't take care of it. Come on. If there is a bump, the child will suffer." He said on the side. "There are so many maids at home, and they can look at these little things. Let's not take them with us."

Jinghan and Yumei looked at each other, then smiled and agreed, "Okay, listen to me."

Over there, Zixuan and Haiming also stood up and walked out together. Xingjia and Ziwen had already gone to Erlin to help, and He was waiting to go there with his son and wife. The children all stayed at home. Anyway, there was the Qian family, the old lady, and the maid, so they were not afraid of the children making trouble.

Jinghan also brought two girls, and they all walked to Erlin's house. Erlin's house is quite far away from Lin's house. It took about a quarter of an hour of walking before we arrived at the door of Erlin's house.

Zifu is getting married tomorrow, and the yard is quite lively today. There are several unoccupied rooms in the north corner of the yard, which were temporarily converted into kitchens, with smoke rising from the chimneys on the roofs. Many people coming in and out are busy inside.

It was almost noon, and the team to welcome the bride was almost ready. The carriages and sedans were surrounded by red silk, and the horses also had red flowers on their heads, looking very happy.

Lin Xingye's wife, Mrs. Liu, was busy in the yard. If the chef wanted something, she would go and find it. While he was busy, he looked up and saw Zixuan and the others coming in.

"Oh, it's our eldest nephew and niece-in-law who are back. Come on, come inside and sit down. It's too cold outside, don't let the niece-in-law get frozen." Ms. Liu came forward with a smile on her face. "Sister-in-law, you're here just in time. I don't know what to do with this. Come and help me." With that, he dragged He over to help.

Lin Xingye heard it over there and quickly turned around. "Zixuan, Jinghan, when did you come back? Look at me, I'm busy. Come and sit in the room, let's go in and talk." With that, Zixuan and his group were let into the room.

In the room, Zifu had already changed into the wedding dress of the groom. He was dressed in red, which made him look very energetic. Among the children of Lin Xingye's family, Zifu is 20 years old, Zixin is 18 years old, and Yutao is only 15 years old. The children of the Lin family are all good-looking. Zifu and Zixin look like them, but there is a slickness in their eyes that makes people feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, he could be considered a pretty good-looking young man.

When Zifu saw Zixuan, he immediately beamed and said, "Brother, cousin, it's a great honor for you to come back. In this case, my brother and sister-in-law will sit here first. It's getting late, I'll go out first Looking at the wedding, I don’t know if everything is ready. Let’s talk properly when our brother gets married. “He is the protagonist today and has a lot of things to do, so naturally he can’t be in the house. I chatted with Zixuan there.

"Dad, I'm going out first. You stay in the room with my cousin and the others. Zixin, come out and help me." Zifu nodded towards Zixuan and then went out.

There were other people in the room, so Zixuan and the others found a place to sit down.

Several people over there asked, "Brother-in-law, is this the eldest son of Brother Lin's family?"

Lin Xingye smiled proudly, "Isn't that right? This is the eldest son of my eldest brother's family, and now he has become the magistrate of Xizhou. The two sons of my eldest brother's family are promising, even The second eldest son, Ziwen, also has the reputation of being a scholar. She is the daughter-in-law of the eldest son, and she is the princess of the princess. Speaking of which, our Lin family is quite extraordinary."

The people in the room were all Liu's natal family. When they heard this, their eyes suddenly widened. "I've long heard that Brother Lin's children are promising and have become high-ranking officials outside. Today we have seen it. Look at his face, he is not an ordinary person. Brother-in-law, you have such a good big man in your family. Nephew, why don't you follow me? If you have any good things to do in the future, don't forget us," said a woman with a look of confusion.

Jinghan felt a little unhappy when she heard the woman's tone of voice. This person's appearance is somewhat similar to Mrs. Liu's, so she looks like she might be a sister. They really come from a family, they just want to take advantage of themselves when they open their mouths and don’t say anything else.

"Everyone has his or her own destiny. Being poor or rich depends on one's own hard work, which is not something that others can help with. If you are willing to do it, you don't need to take advantage of anyone, and you can do it yourself. You can live a good life. If you are a cheater, you will lose everything even if you have a fortune." Jinghan is not polite. If you are polite to these people, you won't be able to tease Mr. Liu and cause trouble for Zixuan's parents later on. "The two younger brothers from my second uncle's family are promising at first sight. Why do they need our help?"

When those people heard Jinghan's words, their expressions immediately changed. The woman who just spoke lowered her face and said, "Hey, what the princess said, who doesn't have a few relatives? Is it possible that the relatives are having some difficulties? Can't you lend a hand and help?" She was just thinking about telling her sister that she would find a good job for her children, but now she was blocked by Jinghan.
