Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping carried the last box into the house. As soon as the box landed, Cheng Erping collapsed against the wall like a soft noodle.

"so tired."

Cheng Wan originally wanted to tell Cheng Erping not to sit on the floor, it was dirty, but then she thought about it, having already been doing farm work for a day, and her body was not clean in the first place, so she stopped talking.

Outside, Mrs. Lin and Cheng Daniu were chatting with the two people who delivered the things.

Cheng Wan heard Mrs. Lin say: "It's already dark today, why don't you two stay at my house for one night and go back tomorrow? Don't worry, we can accommodate you."

The two people did not accept Mrs. Lin's invitation. They only said that they had somewhere to go, and then drove away.

Two full carts of things took up most of the main room of Cheng Wan's house.

Mrs. Lin and the others looked at these things with uncontrollable curiosity and excitement in their eyes.

But because Xu Zhinian was here, no one touched it for a while.

Cheng Wan is not interested in paying attention to these things now, she is hungry.

"Nai, let's cook first. Everyone has been tired for a long day."

As for these things, you can watch them anytime.

Cheng Erniu's family and Aunt Cheng's family did not eat dinner at Cheng Wan's house today.

They all returned to their homes consciously, and Mrs. Lin did not keep them.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up and everyone gathered in the main room.

Cheng Erniu's family and Aunt Cheng's family were also called.

Xu Zhinian said that in addition to preparing some things that everyone could eat, her mother also prepared separate gifts for everyone in the Cheng family.

Under the illumination of the oil lamp, Xu Zhinian began to distribute gifts to everyone.

"Grandma Lin, this is yours."

"Aunt Wang, this is yours."

"Uncle Daniel, this is for you."

……

I have to say that Mrs. Xu is really meticulous and conscientious in her work.

She packed the gifts for everyone in the Cheng family separately in advance and put notes on them, indicating who they belonged to.

Cheng Wan guessed that Mrs. Xu added the note after learning that Xu Zhinian stayed in Pingnan Village.

Otherwise, no one in their family can read.

"Awan, this is yours."

Two simple and finely crafted dresses, a few exquisite jewelry in a small box, and a particularly delicate riding crop.

Cheng Wan felt warmer in her heart. Mrs. Xu was really attentive in preparing gifts for everyone.

Because she met Cheng Wan and knew her height and shape, Mrs. Xu gave Cheng Wan ready-made clothes.

The others were all made of cloth, which was made of fine cotton. Mrs. Lin and the others made clothes and wore them in the village without being out of place.

In addition to cloth, Mrs. Xu also gave each female member of the Cheng family, except Cheng Wan, a piece of jewelry.

The adults wear bracelets on their hands, while girls like Cheng Xiaoyu wear small hairpins on their heads.

As for Cheng Daniu and the other men, Mrs. Xu only gave each of them a piece of cloth to make clothes.

It's not that Mrs. Xu wants to treat them differently, but Cheng Daniu and the others don't wear jewelry and basically work in the fields on weekdays. They can't give each person a hoe, right?

Xu Zhinian opened the box that Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping carried in last.

Inside were ten sets of pens, inkstones, ten enlightenment books, and a thick pile of paper.

The lively discussion in the room disappeared, and everyone lost their voice when they looked at the contents of the box.

Old Mrs. Lin no longer cared to study her patterned cloth and silver bracelets. She stared blankly at the contents of the box and couldn't help but stretch out her skinny hands to touch them.

But just when they were about to touch it, Mrs. Lin quickly took her hand back, fearing that her rough hands would wrinkle the paper.

"This...this is...?"

Mrs. Lin raised her head and looked at Xu Zhinian.

Xu Zhinian said with a smile: "My mother said that there is a school in Pingnan Village. You will definitely send your children of the right age to the school to learn and read. These are just what they need. There are many Awan and they can also use it."

Old Mrs. Lin rubbed her sour nose and said, "Mrs. Xu is so attentive. We don't know how to thank her."

Isn’t that just being attentive?

Food, food, clothing, clothing... In all aspects, Mrs. Xu has given everything that she can consider and that is convenient for her to give now.

Not to mention the more emotional women, even the men like Cheng Daniu felt extremely warm in their hearts.

After breakfast the next morning, everyone in the Cheng family set foot on the road to the fields again.

If we fertilize the land again, it will be too late to plant beans this year, so the Cheng family decided to plant them directly.

How much can be harvested by then?

"Nai, you go first, I'll go home and go to the latrine."

Cheng Wan rejected Xu Zhinian's proposal to accompany her back, told Gu Yu to wait for her return, then jumped off the carriage and walked in the direction in which she came.

She deliberately made excuses to give herself an opportunity to act alone. She had to take out the sweet potatoes and couldn't delay it any longer.

As for where to plant sweet potatoes, it’s not a problem. You can plant them behind your house.

Cheng Wan looked at it and saw that it should have been a vegetable patch before.

Relying on the extremely shallow agricultural knowledge in her mind, Cheng Wan vaguely remembered that sweet potatoes require seedling cultivation.

Grow seedlings first, then plant seedlings.

Cheng Wan counted the time silently in her mind, and her steps speeded up unconsciously.

Cheng Wan was going to go home for a while, take out the sweet potatoes from the express delivery cabinet and put them at home. At the same time, she unpacked the express delivery from the day before yesterday and yesterday, and then went after Mrs. Lin and the others.

At that time, she told Mrs. Lin and the others that she bought the sweet potatoes from a traveling merchant she met on the way to chase them.

Cheng Wan was walking forward quickly while thinking about things. Suddenly, Cheng Wan heard someone calling her.

"From the Cheng family? Miss Cheng?"

Cheng Wan cut off his plans for the next period of time in his mind and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw an old lady running towards her waving her hands.

Cheng Wan frowned vaguely.

It was the old lady who made her feel uncomfortable the day she first came to the village.

"Hey, Miss Cheng, your steps are so fast, I almost couldn't catch up with you."

Aunt Chen panted slightly, with a smile on her face.

She couldn't figure out why this person came to see her, but after all, he didn't offend her, so Cheng Wan still acted politely.

"You have something to do with me?"

Aunt Chen waved her arms, with an expression on her face that said, "Why are you so outspoken?"

"See how polite you are, my surname is Chen, just call me Grandma Chen."

"Chen, grandma."

Cheng Wan kept smiling.

"You have something to do with me?"

Cheng Wan asked again.

"It's like this. I see that you are quite old. Have you made a reservation yet?"

Aunt Chen actually secretly asked Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song about Cheng Wan.

But Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Song refused to cooperate and said they didn't know anything they asked.

Aunt Chen originally thought about finding a matchmaker to come directly to her door, but by chance she met Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly.

Are you saying goodbye to yourself?

"No."

No matter what Mrs. Chen's purpose was, Cheng Wan had no intention of telling lies.

No need.

If she doesn't want to get married, who can force her to do so?
