After returning from Yuanxuan, Chun Niang was in a daze for a long time.
At that time, all the children had gone to school, and she was the only one left at home.
Chun Niang went to see the peonies and roses planted by her little girl again, and they were full of peonies.
Those flowers and trees not only grew luxuriantly, but also bloomed.
Originally, she didn't pay much attention to the growth of flowers and trees, but tomorrow she accidentally saw their flower seedlings, which were also planted in the next spring and grew to be as long as chopsticks.
When I look at the ones I own, I have to say that they are amazing.
"Chun Niang, what should I do?"
Mrs. Zhou came in from the courtyard and saw her three younger siblings squatting in front of the flower garden in a daze, so she asked.
Chun Niang stood up and said with a smile: "I haven't done anything, so why don't you smell the fragrance of the wood pills?"
Mrs. Zhou also came over and took a whiff. The fragrance hit her nostrils. "Hey, that wood pill is so fragrant. The more I smell it, the more I want to smell it."
Chun Niang smiled, picked a few flowers from the dandelion branches and handed them to her sister-in-law: "Take them and sew them into a sachet."
Originally, the Mudan flower sachets were only available during the Five Poison Months, but now that they are blooming, I can use them to make a few sachets for the children to wear.
Zhou didn't refuse and took the bouquet of flowers. "Chun Niang, he wants to ask me for an idea tomorrow."
Chun Niang: "What's going on?"
"I'm very proud of our Dacheng family." Mrs. Zhou walked around the grape trellis in the yard, "Yun Niang helped Dacheng fall in love with a girl in the county town. We agreed to go see her tomorrow, but Dacheng refused to go.
.”
Chun Niang: "Why don't you go?"
"Who knows." Ms. Zhou was troubled by her eldest son's marriage. "He just said he didn't want to get married for the time being and asked us not to worry about it. Alas, wouldn't he worry about it? He will be seventeen next year. Erquan
He is already fifteen, and Erquan is also asking for help, but his eldest brother is in trouble, so how can he make a decision for his younger brother before he can go ahead with his eldest brother?"
Mrs. Zhou was so anxious that she wanted to shed tears, "His father doesn't care about anything, so he just lets it go. Chun Niang, let me tell you, can you just let it go?"
Chun Niang was also at a loss.
Since the eldest nephew was harmed once by the daughter of the Chu family, all girls are avoided like snakes and scorpions. Let alone let him go to see each other, if the adults casually mention which girl is good, he will run away, Jiutou
Even the ox can't pull it back.
Mrs. Zhou continued: "Dacheng was wrong to obey his third uncle's advice. He wanted me to talk to his third uncle and ask him to advise Dacheng. There are no girls in the world who are as ignorant as that one from the Chu family. Don't be fooled.
If a snake bites you, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.”
"Okay, I'll tell him when Saburo comes back in the morning."
Chun Niang comforted her and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Dacheng Port is 17 years old. In our village, we only get married when we are in our 20s." For example, Chen Zhu, the youngest son of the patriarch, did not get married until he was 20 years old.
The two talked for a while, and then Mrs. Zhou left with a handful of rosewood flowers in her pocket.
When Jiang Sanlang came back in the morning, he heard his wife mention the matter of Dacheng. He said indifferently: "If Dacheng doesn't want to see each other, let him do whatever he wants. He must have not met his perfect match, so the matter cannot be rushed."
Chun Niang said angrily: "Although I'm not in a hurry, my eldest sister has brought a letter. She will give one to the photo, and she promised to go to see her in the bright moon. If she breaks the promise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my eldest sister to explain."
Jiang Sanlang: "If you break the promise, you will break the promise. What should you say? With such a long journey, who can guarantee that you will be there next month?"
The eldest sister, Yun Niang, was really naive. She just sent a letter and asked Dacheng to go to the county town to see her. She didn't even tell her whether she was doing anything at home. No wonder Dacheng refused to go.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her husband, Chun Niang gave up, fetched him a basin of water to wash his face, and asked casually: "Why did Chen Changsheng of the West Village call me to do tomorrow?"
"I'm very worried about growing golden ear. Many families in his village want to grow it and want to buy strains from him." Jiang Sanlang picked up a towel and washed his face. After washing his face, he poured the water from the basin into the footbath and began to take off his shoes.
Wash your feet.
Chun Niang handed him a footcloth and said, "Did I agree?"
Jiang Sanlang shook his head: "He wants to agree, but he doesn't have the bacteria."
All of our own golden ears are of high quality, and we will not sell them to others under any circumstances.
At the end of February, Manager Zhou came and took away all the Jiang family's fine gold ears, but he never asked the other villagers about the gold ears in their legs. He probably didn't care about the ordinary gold ears and snow ears.
Before leaving, Manager Zhou told Jiang Sanlang that there were many empty houses for sale in the county. If you are interested, you should buy them as soon as possible. If you are late, you will not be able to buy them.
Jiang Sanlang admitted that he had seriously considered it once, but because things were so busy, he forgot about it.
Then I thought about it, a month had passed, and I was afraid it would be too late to buy it myself.
But the little girl kept urging him to go to the county seat to have a look, saying that if Xiaojie and Huzi wanted to take the science examination, they must go to the county seat to study, otherwise it would be difficult for them to pass the exam.
After wiping his feet, Jiang Sanlang put on his wooden clogs and went out to pour water.
I went to take a look at my two sons' room again, and saw that they were already asleep. Then I turned around and came back, took a look at my daughter's room, and turned off the lights to rest.
After returning to the house, I was sitting on the kang, scouring the bed. After thinking about it, I said to my wife, "Chun Niang, let's go to the county town and buy a house."
Chun Niang's eyes lit up: "Am I serious?"
The family has more than 300 taels of silver, and originally wanted to buy some paddy fields, but the younger daughter disagreed, saying that in the future there will be floods, and those fields will be worthless. If we buy paddy fields at high prices now, we will just use the money to waste.
Chun Niang and her husband always obeyed their daughter's words, so they didn't buy it.
But with so much cash saved at home, she never felt at ease, fearing that another group of thieves would suddenly come and steal all the money.
"Is it true?" Jiang Sanlang put his legs on the pillow and said leisurely: "Let's buy a house in the county town, so we don't have to stay in an inn when we come and go. Also, Xiaojie and Yuanbao go to the county town to study. Without a house, I'm afraid it won't be convenient to take care of them.
.”
Chun Niang asked expectantly: "Then when am I going to buy it?"
"The next month, he will go to the town and hire a car to go to the county seat. If everything goes well, he will buy a carriage to bring back." It is really inconvenient for me not to have a car at home. Going to the market and visiting relatives depends on my feet. Sir
It's nothing, but the kids can't stand it.
Moreover, mules and horses are very good at plowing fields. He really wanted to reclaim the wasteland over the orchard. Having mules and horses would save a lot of time and effort.
"Is it time to buy a car at home?" Chun Niang suddenly remembered what her eldest sister-in-law said and asked, "Then should I take Dacheng with me? Please go and talk to eldest sister."
Jiang Sanlang: "It's up to him whether he wants to go or not. He will tell the elder sister."
My sister-in-law is also worried that her son will not find a wife.
Apart from other things, just because of Dacheng's good looks, if he wants a good figure and a good character, he will be short of a wife. Maybe he will be like his second uncle in the future and find a good wife to take home.
.
"It's okay." Chun Niang felt relieved when her husband agreed to come forward.
I'll tell my sister-in-law tomorrow, so I agree to her request.
Early the next morning, Chun Niang got up to check whether the chicks had hatched.
I saw many fluffy chicks crawling around the hen's wings.
Chun Niang quickly picked them up into a large basket lined with broken grass, and then covered them with a small quilt.
There were a few eggs in the hen's belly that had not yet hatched, but a small hole had been pecked.
Chun Niang directly peeled off the eggshell bit by bit, took out the wet chick inside, stuffed it back into the hen's belly and covered it.
