Chapter 1035 The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-Law of the Blessed Nongmen (30)

   Lizheng, who was eating lunch at home, suddenly felt his nose itchy.

  He put down his chopsticks and rubbed his nose: "Recently, his nose has been itchy. Is someone talking about this old man?"

   "The autumn harvest is coming soon. Seeing the growth of the crops, everyone must be very happy. When I am happy, I will miss you." His wife answered with a smile.

  Lizheng immediately smiled: "I'm afraid this year will be the best year since I became Lizheng!"

  In the cool breeze, the autumn harvest is coming as scheduled.

  As expected, Xiaowa Village has had a bumper harvest this year.

  Whether it is miscellaneous grains such as sorghum, corn, soybeans, or winter vegetables such as radishes and cabbage, all of them have broken the record of the highest yield per mu over the years.

  The bumper harvest of grain has attracted waves of birds to peck at it.

  Adults tie scarecrows, children chase birds with bamboo poles, and they are so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their heels, so what? I feel good!

  Every household worked tirelessly and joyfully on the harvested fields, with smiles on everyone’s face.

  With the same number of acres, the output is several stones more than in previous years.

  Some big families have never been separated, four or even five generations live under the same roof, and the grain fields of as many as 30 mu of land, after careful study and hard work, suddenly have an extra 40 to 50 shi of grain, which makes them very happy.

   They all said they wanted to thank Li Zheng and Meng Jin’s wife.

  Xu Yin heard what Goudanniang said, and was worried that everyone would come to her house to thank her, and she couldn't bear the battle.

   Besides, her help is not in vain. When everyone eats the food grown from the new type of fertilizer, she will receive waves of energy point rewards.

   No, the autumn harvest is over, and there is a ding ding sound every day that the energy point is credited.

   "Ah Jin, the grain has been collected in the warehouse, and there will be no work in the field for the time being. Why don't we go to the state capital by boat for a few days?"

  Cui Mengjin knew that she wanted to find an aquatic crop called lotus root. It is said that like taro, it can be used as both a vegetable and a staple food. If she wants to buy it and plant it in her own pond, how could she disagree with her proposal.

   The couple hit it off immediately, one went to Li Zheng to lead the way, and the other packed up travel supplies at home.

  The chickens, ducks and pigs at home and the vegetables in the yard are entrusted to the villagers to take care of them.

  When Lizheng’s family was almost stepped over the threshold by the villagers of Xiaowa Village who came to thank them, Xu Yin and his wife had already arrived at the wharf connecting the river outside the county with their burdens on their backs, ready to board a boat to go to the state capital.

  The villagers of Xiaowa Village, led by their respective patriarchs, thanked Wan Lizheng and were about to go to Meng Jin’s house at the end of the village, but they heard Li Zheng say, “Meng Jin and his wife are not at home.”

   "Not at home? Did you go up the mountain to cut firewood? It's okay, we can wait. We just want to thank Meng Jin's wife face to face."

   The youngest daughter-in-law of a large household in Xiaowa Village was speaking, and she was holding a basket of eggs in her hand.

   There is another basket for Lizheng, this one is for Meng Jin's wife.

   Without Meng Jin's wife, no one would know that there are so many things to pay attention to when applying fertilizer.

  Lizheng shook his head: "It's not up the mountain, it's a long trip."

  As soon as these words came out, not to mention the people who came to thank Xiaowa Village, the villagers in this village except Goudan and Tiewa were also very puzzled:

   "Meng Jin took his wife on a long trip? But isn't his daughter-in-law's natal home in Meihua Village? Besides visiting relatives at the mother-in-law's natal home, where else can she go?"

"They went to the state capital. Meng Jin worked too hard during the busy farming period. Meng Jin's wife was worried that his leg injury would recur, so she took him for a follow-up visit during the slack. But the old imperial doctor heard that Yunyou had gone and was not in the county, so they wanted to go to the state Find the doctor over there to have a look."

   "So that's what happened..."

   "So Meng Jin's family is quite concerned about Meng Jin."

   "That's right, she is the man in the family, who cares if she doesn't care?"

  Since they were away from home, the villagers from Xiaowa Village who came to give gifts had no choice but to return home with the gifts they hadn’t sent.

  Cui Shi, who was following the crowd to watch the excitement, suddenly felt a heartache that the duck that had reached its mouth flew away again.

  She was envious just now, so many people came to thank her with their things, maybe they were all soft-hearted when they received the gifts?

   Never thought that her stupid boy would be treated like this.

   ended up on a long trip!

   When is not a good time to go out, but this is the time to reject the gifts that should have been received in vain!

  Mrs. Cui really didn't want to admit that the eldest son who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, was so dull to death, and was so stupefied that he couldn't speak was her own.

  I really don't want to admit it!

  As for what Li Zheng said about going to the state capital for a follow-up visit to the injured leg, Cui didn't take it to heart at all.

  The county seat went back to the village after treating its legs, and it took more than a hundred days to raise it. The hob meat daughter-in-law is just worried! Or just think too much about money!

  Thinking that the fifty liang rewarded by the county magistrate was held in the hands of her daughter-in-law, Cui clutched her chest and felt a pain in her chest. This family really shouldn't be divided!

  Xu Yin is currently on the passenger ship going south to the state capital.

Most of the boat passengers going to the state capital are merchants traveling from south to north, and a few are scholars studying in the state capital. Almost all of them are men, and there are no single women. Very few.

  Fortunately, when boarding the ship, there is still a window seat to choose, so you don’t have to squeeze in among the men.

There was a short businessman who wanted to rush to grab a seat by the window in front of her, but she picked it up with one hand and carried him to the side. The eyes of all the passengers twitched, and there was a tall and strong man beside her. Huo Shuo's man, but no one dared to think of her anymore.

  Xu Yin sat on the inside by the window, and on the outside was Comrade Xiao Jin who was protecting her. She rested her chin and looked out the window at the natural scenery passing by like frames of oil paintings.

  Xin said thanks to my sister-in-law's decision to separate the family.

  If my sister-in-law was still in Dawa Village, I would want to add a chicken leg to her.

  After all, if there is no separation, there is no chance to come to the state capital if you come to the state capital.

  From the county seat to the state capital, the waterway needs to be full and full for a day, and it does not stop at noon.

  When it was time to eat, the passengers unpacked their bags and took out steamed buns and steamed buns for lunch with cold water;

   Only Xu Yin and his wife ate bamboo rice.

  The newly harvested rice this year is mixed with some glutinous rice from a large labor force in the village, mixed with fresh edamame, diced shiitake mushrooms, fungus, dried bamboo shoots and previously smoked wild boar pork belly, steamed bamboo tube rice.

  When eating, unseal the straw rope, use the bamboo tube as a bowl, and eat with chopsticks.

  Bamboo tube rice is also delicious when it is cold. If you are thirsty, you can drink the chrysanthemum tea poured into the bamboo tube before going out in the morning.

   A sip of mixed rice and a sip of tea, the boatman who could only choke on dry food swallowed his saliva.

  The merchant who was sitting next to Cui Mengjin and doing the rice, flour, grain and oil business couldn't help asking: "Little brother, your harvest seems to be good this year! There are three stones in an acre, right?"

   Otherwise, can steamed rice be used as dry food for going out? With sharp eyes, he saw that there was a piece of bacon in the rice in the bamboo tube. The color was very attractive, and it smelled delicious!
