To copy a genealogy, you need to live in the ancestral hall with the clan elders, burn incense and bathe, and fast for three days before you can write.
Seeing his deflated appearance, Cheng Xue continued to administer strong medicine and said:
"You promised uncle to stay here after the autumn harvest. What are your plans? When uncle came here to help two days ago, he could see the progress of our family."
The words "our family" made him feel dissatisfied. Looking at her triumphant look, she pretended to be defeated and returned to the table to sit down. Seeing this, Cheng Xue mistakenly thought she had won and walked out of the study humming a ditty. p>
"Hey, big brother is here to pick up Huizi? It's in the study room, just go in by yourself."
Li Qingchun nodded with a smile and said politely:
"I'm sorry, brother and sister, my brother is about to leave, and I bother him with clan affairs."
"What's the matter? Brother, don't be so polite. I'm angry."
After saying that, they went out and went straight to Dong Bin's house. The young couple really could hold it in, and they couldn't bear to call her until now, which is probably the case.
In addition to the Yu family, Dong Bin's family also has a woman and a girl. They seem to be mother and daughter.
"Sister-in-law is here, please sit down on the kang." Yu warmly let her into the room and said, "Sister-in-law, this is my third uncle's nephew's wife. Sister-in-law Li Hui, those are my natal sister-in-law and niece."<
/p>
The two parties nodded to each other as a greeting, and Cheng Xue grabbed her wrist and felt her pulse.
Just as she thought, it was.
The young couple are newly married, and it is normal to have children. However, there is no letter from Dong Hong’s wife, and she is afraid that she will be sour again.
I asked her when her last menstrual period ended, and after calculating her due date, she said:
"You are in good health. You can eat whatever you want without taking medicine."
"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law." Mrs. Yu couldn't hide her joy.
We have been married for three months, and now we have a child, which is really what we want. Yu Degui’s wife was also very happy when she heard this, and hurriedly took out five copper plates from her sleeves.
After all, she is the wife of Juren, so it would be outrageous to give her less.
"I know you are not short of money, but since ancient times, medical treatment has never been free. Let me understand."
"Okay." Cheng Xue took it politely and gave it to the girl, "It's our first time meeting, this is a meeting gift."
The little girl wanted to refuse, but after seeing the look in her aunt's eyes when she handed him over, she thanked her generously and accepted it.
Yu Degui's wife looked at Cheng Xue again. No wonder her sister-in-law was full of praises for her. It would be the same for her if she encountered someone like this.
"Wu Bin's family, don't reveal the news about your pregnancy just yet. It won't be too late to wait until the three-month-old fetus is firmly seated." Cheng Xue reminded.
"Okay, I will listen to my sister-in-law, thank you sister-in-law."
"Thank you, sister. My sister-in-law will let you worry about it in the future. You sit down and I will cut the melons. The last crop of melons in the garden will not be as sweet as the original ones, so don't dislike it."
Before Cheng Xue could speak, she took her daughter out.
Mrs. Yu was afraid that she would leave, so she kept chatting with her:
"Sister-in-law, the pig trough is ready, what should I use it for?"
"Don't worry, I'll let you go first. Those pigs and lambs are still a few days away. I'll pick them up when I go to pick them up."
"Are you going to arrest all my sister-in-law?"
"You want it?"
Yu nodded, "I think. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Feeding two is just to pass the time."
What's more important is that his family has a lot of land and few people, so it is more than enough to raise two pigs. Although it will take two or three years to put them on the market, and the return will be slow, she can afford to wait. And once they are put on the market, the money they sell will be not a small amount, so they can do a lot of work. p>
Cheng Xue raised her lips when she saw how good she was at grabbing money.
"I asked her for ten. I heard how many are left. Can you go and see when the time comes?"
"Ah, there are some leftovers. Pigs can give birth to more than ten pigs in one litter." Yu said while wondering where to raise them at home.
The melons came in and the two chatted while eating. When Yu Degui's wife heard that her sister-in-law wanted to catch pigs, she hurriedly told her not to be tired and to build a pigsty out of the downwind because it was difficult to raise pigs in winter.
It is true that this time period is not very good, but Cheng Xue has already found a backup. Once the pig cannot withstand the winter, it will be sold to Xiao Qinglin in advance. He has a restaurant in the county.
"Don't worry, girl. If you can't handle it, I'll find a buyer. I won't let you lose money. But you may not make much."
"That's okay, just don't pay compensation."
Mrs. Yu had a free and easy temper and was very easy to talk to. After chatting for a while, Cheng Xue stood up to say goodbye. She went around to the ancestral hall and saw that the door was open and Qingchun's wife was busy inside, so she went home directly.
Although she did not work during the autumn harvest, she did not stand aside for small tasks such as drying grain and peeling grains. When she had free time, she moved a small bench and sat in the yard to peel some.
This happens every day, and the results are very good.
It has been sunny for more than ten days, and the autumn harvest work in the fields is almost done. For those with quick hands, the grain has been dried.
Cheng Xue's family had a lot of hands. Not only did they dry the grain, but they also replaced last year's old grain with fine grain and sold part of it, making a lot of money.
During this period, Li Hui finally finished writing the genealogy, returned home, and was "expelled" to Yujiatun by her. He knew that she did it on purpose, but he had no choice but to obey her instructions and take his little daughter with him.
My son and my eldest nephew took the car to stay in Yujiatun.
I originally planned to go there to help with the autumn harvest, but who would have thought that in the end, Yu Huai brought his daughter and son to Wanghe Village to help Yu Zhao. If the forest farm had not started construction, Yu Zhao and his wife also wanted to return to Yujiatun for a short stay, but things went against their wishes and they had to
Let Yu Yingjie follow him back.
While there were no children at home, Cheng Xue took Yu Niang, Bai Shao, Li Yue and others to pickle pickles. The pickles filled eight large jars, which was enough to eat. But in winter, you can’t just eat pickles, garlic eggplants, spicy cabbage, etc.
Come and write. There are also sun-dried hazel mushrooms, fungus, shredded beans... Don’t worry about the dried vegetables for the winter this year, there are plenty of them.
The work at home is almost done, and the land in the west of the village is also being sorted by Ma Kuo and the five of them. They have been working on it for a day and will finish it in another day. When every household is finished, she will prepare to call people over to sow seeds.
.
A few people made preparations first. Cheng Xue, Li Yue, Bai Zhi, and Tianma were responsible for peeling the garlic. Yuniang, Bai Shao, and Tiandong were responsible for pounding it.
I have been busy all morning, mashing all the garlic, and just waiting for lunch, I put it into the eggplant and marinated it.
When Li Zhong came back from outside, Cheng Xue saw him going to the warehouse and hurriedly followed him and asked:
"All done?"
Li Zhong nodded and said while taking things:
"Madam, can you let Tiandong send them off? Just go to the town."
We have horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts at home, so it is very convenient to use them.
"After lunch, let Tiandong drive to see them off. Go and say something."
"Hey, okay, okay." Li Zhong put down the bag in his hand and hurried out.
Since they had added another day and a half of work, Cheng Xue gave them five kilograms of rice each, which was quite a lot in addition to the three feet of woolen green cloth from before.
Calculating the days, it was time to bring Li Hui back, but she still wanted to wait a little longer, so she quickly called Tiandong.
Pointing to the bags of fine grains that had been separated on the ground in advance, he said:
"You can drive Ma Kuo and the others back to Shushan Town later. Let's go directly to the county. There is a house there. Stay overnight. We will go to Fucheng the day after tomorrow and go to Zhou's house first. I will write a letter later. You can take the letter.
Find Mrs. Zhou and listen to her instructions. When you come back, pick me up."
