cool summer [farming]

Yang Qiaorong glanced at him in surprise, as if she didn't expect him to be able to talk about her mother-in-law so frankly, and seeing his calm face, she wondered if she had misunderstood this "she".In the end, he was very happy to see that he had figured it out, and comforted him: "That's right, your Zhengxiu family is capable and has the ability to hunt, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing wherever you go. You are so wronged. In the final analysis, I and the two children are the troubles for you. Your eldest brother has been away for so many years. If Zhengxiu hadn't helped you overtly and secretly in the past two years, how could we live at home?" Get sad.

Fu Juyan said: "What are you talking about? Brothers should help each other. Besides, I just came in. In the future, I will inevitably ask my sister-in-law to give me some advice."

Yang Qiaorong looked at Fu Juyan in surprise, she really didn't expect her always weak-tempered sister-in-law to say such a thing, and then she was relieved, their family has a good relationship with the second brother, and it is usually thanks to the help of the second brother Live on, she saw that her second sister-in-law committed suicide within a month of her marriage, she usually treats them normally, it seems really unreasonable, and she was worried that her second brother would end up with them because of this After being ill for a while, the second sister-in-law seemed to be much more sensible.

After all, he is still a 16-year-old boy, and he has been out of the house for a while since he is too old. Seeing the boy with delicate features, sitting on the bed obediently, Ge Yang couldn't help stroking the boy's hair lovingly, and said softly: " Eat it quickly, if you don’t eat the porridge, it will be cold, the second brother went hunting in the mountains with some men from the village two days ago, and I’ll give you a good supplement when they come back.” He waved to the boy over there, "Brother Ning, is the water cold? Bring it to your little dad."

Hearing this, Wei Qingning couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He hurriedly picked up the ceramic bowl on the table, and walked to the bed in a few steps, "Dad, drink some water."

Fu Juyan almost spit out a mouthful of porridge. Sure enough, no matter how much he tried to build up his mind, he still had some trouble adapting to it.Seeing the child holding the bowl stubbornly, his little face was flushed, so Fu Juyan had no choice but to put the porridge on a low table beside the bed, took the water in embarrassment, was startled by the heat of the pottery bowl, and pulled the small When the boy looked at his hand, it was really red.

"Why do you still bring it when it's hot? Sister-in-law, quickly apply cold water to him."

Ning Ge'er pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, his face seemed to be even redder, and the little hand held by the little father shrank unconsciously.

Yang Qiaorong looked at it and said worriedly: "Does Brother Ning hurt? Go to the yard and ask sister Cui to apply it for you."

The child turned around and left without saying a word.

Yang Qiaorong looked at it, then turned her head and said to Fu Juyan: "Brother Ning is a peace of mind, don't be uncomfortable, in my opinion, this child is smart and sensible, although the second brother had already remembered things when he brought him back. But there is no one in his family, so it doesn't hinder you much, and you can rest assured in the future."

Fu Juyan is not very clear about the specific origin of this child surnamed Wei.Since the original owner married into the Ge family, he has been sullen all day long, indifferent to the outside world, except for being ordered to work by Mrs. Ge and Liu Xiuying, he doesn't say a few words, just sneaks into the house for anyone to watch They all felt as if they were holding their breath in their hearts, which was particularly unpleasant.For the members of the family, he can only recognize a face, even his husband who has been in a coma for more than ten days. Except for the trace of fear that Fu Juyan can feel when recalling in his mind, he can't dig out anything. Not to mention this kid named Wei Qingning.

Fu Juyan quickly finished a bowl of porridge, and answered absently. In the memory of the original owner, the white rice porridge was not bad, but to Fu Juyan, it was a bit tasteless, but at this time It's not his turn to choose.

"Then you should lie down and get up and move around when you have some strength. It's good for your health. I'll go to the village first, and ask Tweety for help if I need anything."

As soon as the summer solstice arrived, the weather was extremely hot, and the crops in the field were even more dry. At this time in previous years, every household had to water the field twice. This summer is even worse than in previous years. The Ge family has a lot of crops. At this time, except for the second brother who went up the mountain and the sixth brother Ge Zhengshu who was studying in Shushu, everyone was busy in the field. She also cooked and sent it to the people working in the field when she came back. Only then can I find time to see my second sister-in-law.Just now Liu Xiuying couldn't wait any longer, she had come back to pack water and dry food and went to the field.

At this time, she went to the field empty-handed, and she was bound to be scolded by her mother-in-law. Seeing that her second sister-in-law had woken up, she felt relieved and had to go to work in the field quickly.

Seeing Ge Yang hurried out with an empty bowl, Fu Juyan heaved a sigh of relief, got up and walked slowly to the dilapidated paper window, and saw two children in the yard, a boy and a girl. Naturally it is Wei Qingning, the girl is the eldest of the sister-in-law's family, her name is Ge Cuier, she is ten years old this year, and she is still washing clothes in the yard on a hot day.

When he walked out of the house, the two children immediately saw him and looked at each other. The girl dropped the clothes in her hand and ran over, "Second aunt, mother has gone out. The hot water is in the kitchen."

The corner of Fu Juyan's mouth twitched, and he said to the little girl with a headache: "Don't call me Second Aunt, call me Auntie."

Ge Cuier obviously couldn't understand the difference between aunt and aunt, but changed her words obediently, and said in a low voice: "Aunt, mother said that when it's sunset, please trouble you to heat up the food in the kitchen, and she won't come back."

After hearing this, Fu Juyan knew that this sister-in-law was afraid of being scolded when Ge's family came back and saw him not working, so she found him some leisurely work, and because she came back to see him at noon, she was delayed, so she simply cooked dinner for the evening. , there is no need to come back early.Nodding to the little girl, he said: "It's noon, don't wash clothes in the yard, and Brother Ning, don't stand there, go back to the house."

When Brother Ning heard this, he turned his hands behind his back, glanced at his cousin, and then at Fu Juyan, feeling somewhat at a loss as to what to do.Ge Cuier pursed her lips, and replied crisply: "Brother Ning, go into the house, I'll just hang the clothes to dry, and it will be ready soon."

Fu Juyan sighed, and learned from his memory that the little girl washed the whole family's clothes not once or twice, so he had to go over and help her dry the coarse clothes on the clothes-drying pole built on bamboo poles in the yard, Brother Ning The children did not go back to the house, and the older seven-year-old child looked like he was about five years old, and was busy handing clothes to his cousin and father.

"Okay, you two go back to the house first, where is Brother Ming?" Brother Ming is the only son of the sister-in-law Yang Qiaorong in this body, and he is six years old this year.

"My younger brother and Ge Xiaopang went to the river to dig earthworms for the chickens to eat."

Fu Juyan nodded, looked at the child's hand, it was all right, Fu Juyan urged the two of them to enter the house, although it was not much cooler inside the house than outside, but at least they would not be exposed to the sun, the weather outside seemed to him It's thirty degrees higher, and it's only June, how can people bear it when it's hot in July and August?At this time, he was a little thankful that he was ill, otherwise, wouldn't he have to go to work in the field?

He went to the kitchen to carry hot water to the simple and exaggerated shower room, ready to take a good wash.After just a few steps, this body began to pant non-stop. He looked at his thin and thin body and thought to himself, when conditions permit, he must make up for it.

This body is badly damaged. He hadn't had a good meal for more than a year due to the war and famine. When he came to his uncle's house, he couldn't keep up with his nutrition because of the poor treatment of the family. He married Ge Ge a month ago. The family was even more frightened, hungry and full, and finally injured his head and suffered a serious illness. No wonder the original owner died in the end, and his body was occupied by an outsider.

Finally able to calm down and take a bath, Fu Juyan slowly sorted out the memories in his mind. The country where the original owner lived was called the Dongling Dynasty. There is another country in the northeast of the mainland, named Western Zhou.The two countries of Tanglin and Western Zhou are partly separated by the sea, and partly connected by small nomadic countries in the northern part of the mainland.

Dongling is rich and prosperous, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, while the Western Zhou Dynasty has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the people are fierce and warlike.The two countries are both big countries, and they are constantly fighting each other. Due to geographical reasons, the two countries must send troops to the north to pass through many small nomadic countries, causing many troubles. Therefore, there have been no major wars in the past century.

However, five years ago, Chigan, who had always been on good terms with Dongling, turned against Xizhou. Western Zhou took advantage of the chaos and crossed the border of Tangling to attack the important town of Dongling. The capture of Dayong, an important town, was like a broken bamboo all the way, causing countless innocent people to be displaced.In the end, the emperor of Dongling led his troops to recapture Dayong in person. He won the battle miserably, but died due to his injuries. He was given the posthumous title of "Ruiwu".This battle lasted for three years, known as the "Battle of Dayong", and since then Dongling's vitality has been severely damaged.It was precisely because of this war that the original owner started his refugee career and had everything after that.

In the impression of the original owner, Dongling was originally rich and strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. At the same time, the business was prosperous and the economy was prosperous. The most prosperous and prosperous period was even comparable to the previous Song Dynasty. In the following decades, the development of commerce and agriculture was almost equal. Its taxes became the main source of Tanglin treasury.It's just because of the internal turmoil in the country and the intrusion of foreign enemies in the past ten years. Five years ago, it was severely injured by the battle of Dayong. However, it is difficult to restore the "prosperous and happy eternal years" period in Tangling's history for a while.

Tangling's climate is short in spring and autumn, and long and distinct in winter and summer, presenting a polarized trend.Therefore, the tea and wine culture is relatively prosperous, and the production technology is developed.In summer, tea is the mainstream drink of Tanglin and is very popular all over the country.The ice products at this time were the same as in ancient China, because the ice-making technology had not yet been discovered, so it was not popular.And because of the climate, no matter how much ice is stored in the ice cellar, there will be only two or three tenths of the ice in the next summer, so ice is extremely luxurious in Dongling, and it is not common for ordinary rich and powerful families.That's why almost every household in Tangling drinks tea, and the price of middle and low-grade tea in the market is not outrageous, making it a common choice for ordinary people.

Banshan Village belongs to Quhua County, Shundong Prefecture, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has a relatively developed economy.Shundong Prefecture is rich in fruits, and many people in the village set aside some dry land and mountains to plant a few acres of fruit trees for sale. The fruits here are more diverse than those in the inland area, and the prices are relatively cheap. Although they are luxury goods, some people in the village can eat them well. rise.

Fortunately, Fu Juyan heaved a sigh of relief, at least he doesn't have to worry about fruits in the future.After all, there are few people like Concubine Yang, who is favored by the emperor, capable and powerful, and eating a lychee can make people travel thousands of miles and send them to the palace quickly.What's more, it doesn't mean that you can eat fresh food like this. The conditions in Banshan Village were really good in ancient times.
