Someone came to give a gift but hurt his foot. At this time, the owner could not hide, no matter where he put it, he couldn't justify it.
Xu Huan patted Xiang Zhen's hand, "I'll go say hello."
Xiang Zhen's beautiful almond eyes followed her husband's back.
Xu Ming pouted, "What a coincidence. It's not like the city here, there are people playing tricks."
It was Xiang Zhen's turn to sigh, "...it's my fault."
Xu Ming was nervous when he heard it, "Don't, sister-in-law, don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you. Really, even if the sister-in-law gave birth to ten or eight sons, some people would still like the eldest brother!"
Although Xiang Zhen was in the middle of a knot, this statement still made her laugh. "What did you say?"
"I'm telling the truth, come and come, eat zongzi, it's really delicious."
Xu called back soon, and Xu Ming hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
"It's alright, let someone pull a car to take her back." Xu Huan turned his head and confessed, "I want to talk to someone in the future, I think Mrs. Liang is very good, with a positive temperament, and it should be easy to deal with. If you want, you can ask more She comes over and sits, and the sugar baby also has a tiger head to play with."
It means this girl can't. Xiang Zhen understood and nodded in response.
At this time, Miao Duan was proudly returning home in the Xu family's luxurious carriage.
It was the first time in her life that she rode in a carriage. At this moment, I wish everyone knew that she was in the car, and she stretched her head out so hard that it was noticed by others.
Until the carriage stopped in front of Miao Jue's house, the guy above jumped out of the car and ran to the door of Miao's house calling for someone.
"Mr. Miao's house!! Your girl accidentally turned her foot in front of the Xu residence. Come out and help yourself!!" The clear and crisp voice immediately explained most of the matter.
Lin Xue quickly opened the door and came out. Just seeing a beautiful carriage parked in front of his house, his face was stunned.
The guy who called for the door quickly said, "It's Aunt Miao. Your girl hurt her foot while walking. Come and help. After all, she's an unmarried girl, and it's inconvenient for us."
There were many twists and turns in this sentence, and Lin Xue didn't understand it, so she just walked to the side of the carriage and helped Xi Zizi's daughter down.
Miao Duan got out of the car with a grateful expression, "This little brother, please help me to thank Eldest Young Master Xu. I will definitely bring the thank you gift next time."
The young man smiled politely, "How embarrassing this is. My master specially explained that Miss Miao's family was busy with the festival today, and there was no one to send them, so she asked the girl to send zongzi specially, but turned her foot in front of the gate of our house. , Such an unfortunate thing, it should be sent back to the girl, so there is no need for the girl to be more polite."
This is more clear.
When it comes to giving each other zongzi during festivals, they are only given among acquaintances. I don't know if the Miao family and the new Xu family are acquainted, but it's never the case that an unmarried girl can send her to her door like this. The rules in the village are not so big, but if someone points it out clearly, you can still hear something wrong.
After the carriage, the aunts who came over to watch the lively heard it, and they whispered and snickered.
Lin Xue's face became hot, and after thanking the boy a few words, she quickly dragged her daughter into the house.
Then he closed the door and started training, "I heard what people said! Just say you have no rules! Last night, my mother told you not to go, but today you dare to run away secretly!! Next time I will make trouble again. Yao'ezi, I will tell your grandfather directly and see how he teaches you!!"
Miao Duan didn't mind at all, her eyes brightened. "But auntie, you don't know, the Xu family's house is really big and beautiful!! That house is probably not comparable to the richest family in town!! There are many long-term maids in the yard to help!! Yes A real big family!!"
After a series of sighs, Lin Xuetong paused, "Do you even have a girl?"
"Girls are better dressed than us, A-Niang!! What if people make fun of you? If you can really enter that house, you won't be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future, and someone will help you with laundry, burning wood, and helping! Brother's tuition, you can also have it, right!?"
The last sentence hit Lin Xue's heart.
That's right, Miao Yuan is now studying at home, precisely because the private school in the town does not accept him. The private school had previously found a reason to dismiss Miao Yuan suddenly. No matter what, it was all the work of Wang Zhuo's family. In this regard, they could not resist. If Miao Yuan wanted to continue studying, he had to go to a larger county to find a private school to study. But now that even the workshop is closed, where did they get the money!
Lin Xue was shaken, "But isn't the Xu family master already married? Your grandfather is afraid that he will not let you be a concubine." In terms of age, the Xu family young master can't tell.
"Auntie, do you need to help me with my grandfather from time to time, and say that in order to help my brother, I'm willing." Miao Duan acted as a coquettish girl and pulled her mother, "As for me, I must think of something with that elder sister. Get in touch first!"
Miao Duan is full of confidence, and now she has called people "sister".

When Miao Duan was having a sweet dream, it was June, the sun was shining brightly, and the first batch of peanuts planted in Miao He's home was ripe. Even if it is a good seed from the soil, the actual yield and whether the land tax can be deducted will only be known after the actual planting. As soon as he heard that the peanuts were ripe, Miao He pulled Yang Dalang and carried the babies to the field to watch the harvest nervously.
I saw Miao Ping in the field with a low drink, and then pulled out a bunch of peanuts with dense results! Each pod is big and plump! ! All the way through is a healthy light brown, no rotten fruit! !
Chen Ping, who was already full of belly beside him, had a happy expression on his face. "It's really a lot of knots!! If every plant in the field is like this, how many peanuts will this, this get?! There are still so many fields to grow, Brother He, is the teahouse really harvesting so much?"
Joy to worry, just a moment. Farmers work hard. When the fruit is not planted, I am worried that the harvest will not be good, but if the harvest is good, I have to worry that the price is not good and cannot be sold.
Miao He quickly explained, "It's not just the teahouses used for cooking, there is also an oil mill behind them. It is said that the peanuts have a good oil yield, so they dare to allow more people to plant them."
Miao Ping was relieved when he heard it, and he was more motivated after he had no worries. "Okay!! Then I will collect all the peanuts in this area today!! Hurry up and plant the next batch!!"
It's easy to say, but collecting peanuts is still very hard work. Bend over, scrape the ground, pull the plants, pick up the fruit, and then spread it on the drying yard for drying, and rake the peanuts from time to time to dry and fall off the soil on top of the peanuts. At this time, it should not be raining, otherwise the good peanuts will be rotten later!
But Miao He and Yang Dalang are now the head of the landowners, and they were sweating when they saw people busy, and they were a little embarrassed. They wanted to go to the field, but they were all chased up, and even Li Zhaodi refused to help. In the end, Miao He and the others had to go home to make herbal tea, and bring one by one to these hard-working farmers who cherish the time to drink water.
But the fruits of hard work are sweet and joyful.
Especially when the people from the tea house came to collect peanuts and count the money, the tenants of each piece of land could get nearly two taels of silver! This is still the profit from the deduction of two or two local taxes! ! If the next season is planted, and the remaining land tax is deducted by one or two, the land can earn silver money for the whole year, and there are three to four taels! !
That is almost the net harvest of a paddy field for a year of hard work! ! Don't worry about taxes yet!
Such rich results spread throughout the village within a few days.
From time to time, people come knocking on the door of Yang Dalang's house, asking, is there any ground rent? Even Miao Min came "disregarding previous suspicions". And the most fierce of them is the original family. As soon as Zhang Mian heard that people could really make money by renting this land, she argued that her parents' relatives must rent a few more yuan, otherwise she would look down on poor relatives.
Li Zhaodi immediately stood up this time, saying that it was her mother who didn’t want to rent more. After all, she lived at home. I really didn’t know that my sister-in-law said that she was so poor. The thing about the dry brother. Zhang Mian was furious at this remark, but he didn't hesitate. Who is He Ge'er's mother is Li Zhaodi, not Zhang Mian.
Looking at Li Zhaodi, who was full of combat power and full of confidence and maintenance in the peanut field, Miao He thought, this is not bad. Next time you want to expand the lease, be sure to ask her again.
In June, in addition to the act of collecting peanuts, there is actually one more thing. It was Miao Qiang who got married.
The speed of marriage is very fast. Before, I only heard about the engagement, but not the date, but all of a sudden, people got married.
She married a girl from Shijia Village next door, also from the same village as Aunt Qing.
Yang Dalang didn't go to drink. Aunt Qing only came over to talk a few words before the marriage, and didn't invite anyone. In fact, the mother had a glimmer of hope for the two of them to reconcile before, but now she suspects that her son has thoughts on He Ge'er, and she can't say it.
But in any case, seeing that her son finally got married successfully, and the bride also looked Bo Hong and shy the next day, Aunt Qing felt a little guilt in her heart, but in the end she was relieved. The guilt was for the girl, but she believed that as long as she was with her for a long time, her son would one day forget the person in his heart.
Seeing her son who was dodging her eyes from time to time, Aunt Qing could only convince herself.

It was hot in July, and when Miao He smiled with an iced watermelon every day to escape the summer, he heard that there was a Liangpi shop opened in the town.
It is still open in Minchun from the village.
The gold shopkeeper who talked about this gossip took another piece of cold and crisp watermelon and ate it happily.
He knew that there must be new ingredients coming to the door from time to time! The large piece of watermelon newly planted in the backyard, alas, with ice, how much money can the restaurant make! ! Booked on the spot, booked at a high price!
Wiping his mouth, the shopkeeper Jin continued, "There is only a small shop that sells cold rice noodles. The cold skin is very special. The shopkeeper has also tried it. It's hot and sour, the taste is smooth, and it is quite appetizing. Not to mention, I've been eating new foods recently It keeps popping up, and I have to stand by the shopkeeper. Fortunately, I found your watermelon again, hehehe, just right, just right."
Liangpi? Another very familiar food.
Miao He couldn't help but think of the transmigrator behind Miao Yuan's family, whom he had suspected earlier. That's right, why didn't you see any movement later, and the Miao family didn't seem to have anything else after Doupi. If Min Chun is that person, think about the time seems to be quite right
When Shopkeeper Jin left, Miao He couldn't help but tell Yang Dalang about it.
"Want to recognize?" Yang Dalang asked.
Miao He hesitated a little, "I'm a little curious, but I'm not sure. You go to buy a Liangpi some other day, and I'll eat it first?"
Yang Dalang nodded. At the same time, I also want to see if this Minchun has a good temperament.
If it's not good, it means nothing.
