Lin Jin walked through the front yard, where the tables and chairs were still placed. Even though he was prepared in his heart, when he approached the kitchen, he was still startled by the mess in front of him.

Chopsticks, bowls, and plates were full, piled up in a mess. After all, yesterday was busy with his son's marriage. Lin Jin rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning.

Halfway through the wash, the fourth family came over.Zhou Zhoufeng and the third brother were about the same age, so they got closer. Sifeng's daughter-in-law was named Lin Guihua, who happened to have the same surname as Lin Jin, and she was also not valued by Grandma Zhou, so the two families walked closer to comfort each other.

"Brother Jin got up so early?" Lin Guihua greeted first, and then asked: "Is there anything else to wash, I will come."

"I'm about to finish washing, I'm not busy." Lin Jin felt that his hands were already covered with oil, so he didn't want to dirty the hands of his siblings, "You can cook the porridge, do you know where to put the leftover vegetables from yesterday? ?”

Lin Guihua spat, "How can there be any leftovers? They even asked people to eat and pack them into their own homes."

I haven't seen Zhou Jinian's wedding banquet yesterday in Dajing Village for many years. After all, Zhou's family is a rich peasant, and they can find two pieces of meat in every dish, so the villagers are not greedy.

Lin Jin smiled and shook his head, but said nothing.

Lin Guihua said again: "However, it's also good to start a family and start a business. Next year, I will be selected as a scholar. I will be more happy than happy! It depends on whether Brother Ning is prosperous or not."

If it's really like what the younger siblings said, then there is really hope for that day, and Lin Jin's wash is even more energetic. "It should be Wang. When he came in, Sanfeng and I didn't give out a single coin."

"That's prosperous." Lin Guihua scooped water to wash the pot, and the whole family naturally knew about Zhou Jinnian's marriage, half from the mother and half from the elder brother's family.

She was so happy, she knew from the moment she entered the door that in Mother's eyes, only the eldest grandson Zhou Wenshu and the sixth younger brother Liu Feng were the only ones.So she has long been dissatisfied, why are good things only sent to the boss and the sixth house?

When thinking of money, Lin Guihua eagerly wanted to make some money, "By the way, Brother Jin, next month's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's discuss to cook some food and sell it at the foot of the Qi'en Temple Mountain, so as to earn some pocket money before the autumn harvest."

"Okay, plan for the next few days." Lin Jin agreed.

Zhou Jinnian was supposed to study at a school in Qingshui Town, and most of the students in the school were farmers from nearby villages, so the teacher gave the farm leave so that these little guys could go back to the village to help with farming. school starts.

Lin Jin also wanted to hurry up and earn money for Ji Nian, who had to honor his wife at the beginning of school.

After a busy morning, Lin Jin thumped his back and rushed to fetch water. After carrying it back and forth three times, he finally filled the water storage tank.

Breakfast is millet porridge, boiled wild vegetables, sprinkled with salt and sauce, which is quite tasty.Because Zhou Jinian just got married, Grandma Zhou promised his family four boiled eggs.

Lin Jin went back to the small yard behind their house with breakfast, Zhou Feng also got up and was weaving a dustpan in the small yard.

"Not up yet?" Lin Jin put down his breakfast and turned to his own man, but it was Erfu Lang who asked the question.

Zhou Feng shook his head, "He just came in, so we shouldn't be too harsh."

"I'll ask."

The space is only so big. Zhou Jinnian, who was sitting by the window, naturally heard it. He twisted his neck to relax his spine. It was true that he hadn't heard the sound of water behind him for a long time. He put down his brush and walked towards the bathtub.

Xie Ning has already changed his posture, with his head held high, his mouth slightly open, and his face sleeping soundly.

Zhou Jinnian couldn't help wet his hands, and splashed water on Xie Ning's sleeping flushed face, and sure enough, Xie Ning frowned, his eyeballs rolled under his thin eyelids, it was the rhythm of waking up.

Realizing that he was actually acting like a kid doing such a prank, Zhou Jinnian was ready to appease Ning Lang's anger.

Xie Ning opened his eyes slightly, facing a handsome face, giving himself water and food last night, Xie Ning pursed his lips and rolled his eyes...

Looking at Ning Lang's soft smiling face, Zhou Jinian put his hands behind his back and rubbed his fingertips, wanting to pinch.

…………

Maybe it's because he's rested, or maybe it's because his body is full of water. On the first day after getting married, Xie Ning was full of energy.

Lin Jin looked at Erfulang who was kneeling and offering tea in front of him, and looked carefully, his appearance was still good, but his skin looked dry and chapped, but his son liked it, no matter what.

"Get up, you can tell Dad if you need anything, don't be embarrassed, let's live a good life as a family, huh?"

"Yes, Daddy drinks tea, Father drinks tea." Xie Ning changed his mouth while holding the teacup.

After serving tea, the family of four sat in the backyard and had breakfast.

Zhou Jinian took care of the most important thing and kept Ning Lang in front of his eyes.The next step is to earn some silver taels. The Zhou family has fertile land and well water, so they don’t have to worry about food and drink, but they need enough silver taels to let their fathers live a good life and cure Ning Lang’s illness.

He planned to go to the bookstore in the town and copy books to make money.The reason why scholars spend money is because books are expensive, and all books are copied manually, which is slow in efficiency, so the price is expensive.

Zhou Ji Nian was still planning, Xie Ning was full, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and took the initiative to find work, "Daddy, what are you going to do today? Ning Lang will follow suit."

"You're sensible." Lin Jin smiled, "I'm not too busy, I just cook and wash clothes. Do you know how to weave?"

In addition to farming, the Zhou family also weaves cloth for money.

Xie Ning shrank his hands under the table. He didn't know how to weave. When he was at home, he often went to the kitchen and the field. His mother passed away early, and no one in the family taught him how to weave and embroider.

Zhou Jinnian put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Father, I'll go to the back mountain to gather some herbs. In two days, I'll go to the bookstore in the town. I'll sell the herbs for money. Ning Lang will follow me up the mountain."

People in Dajing Village can be said to have grown up on the mountain.

"That's fine, dad will get you some steamed buns." Lin Jin put away the bowls and chopsticks and went out to the kitchen. He couldn't come down to the mountain in the middle of the day to collect herbs, so he couldn't leave the child hungry.

Zhou Zhoufeng also planned to continue making dustpans, and told his son, "You have to protect people, don't let go."

After escaping, Xie Ning pursed his lips and snickered, obediently followed Zhou Jinnian back to the room.

Watching Zhou Jinnian drop the latch, Xie Ning stared at the person strangely, and saw Zhou Jinnian with his back turned to him, and began to undress.

His skin is darker than that of his elder brother, and he often goes to the fields to plow the land, but he doesn't know what he eats, so he is so tall.

"Still changing?" Zhou Jinian couldn't ignore the staring gaze behind him, and asked with his back turned to the person.

"Ok?"

"Go up the mountain." Zhou Jinian reminded.

Xie Ning understood that Jingcha was wearing new clothes, and it was a fluffy linen robe. If he went up the mountain, he still had to change into a corset so that he could climb the mountain.

The clothes Xie Ning brought were still in the wooden box, he went to open them to find the clothes, hugged the clothes and got up again, Zhou Ji Nian was already wearing a dark blue cotton shirt, black trousers, and tight ankles.

No bookishness at all, like a martial arts practitioner, looking very mighty.

Xie Ning held his clothes and turned his head to look inside the house. There was a kang bed in the innermost part. A wooden beam hung in the center of the room, and a screen was placed. In the outer room, there was a desk next to the window, and there was a big bathtub.

Looking at Zhou Ji Nian again, Xie Ning took a breath, turned his back, and pretended to undress generously.Fortunately, just as he took off his coat, he heard Zhou Jinnian's footsteps leaving the room.

After changing his clothes, Xie Ning stood in the small courtyard empty-handed, and after Zhou Jinian carried the bamboo basket on his back, he walked over and followed him closely.

Zhou Ji Nian glanced at him, took a bamboo hat made by his father and put it on Xie Ning's head.

Xie Ning shrunk his neck, forgetting his face, he still wore a hat so as not to frighten passers-by.

"Aren't you afraid of the heat? Wear it well, shade."

Xie Ning obediently put on the correct hat, and as soon as he tied the hat rope, Lin Jin came over with the steamed buns, wrapped them in a clean cotton cloth, tied them in a knot, put them in the basket, and watched them go out.

Xie Ning looked down at the road under his feet, keeping his eyes on the heels of the person in front of him. He still felt a little strange to Zhou Jinnian, and Zhou Jinnian was just like his elder brother said, with few words and a cold face.

The two entered the mountain in silence.

The trees were tall and luxuriant, and when entering the forest, the temperature dropped, which made Xie Ning feel much more comfortable, but the buzzing of mosquitoes was extremely annoying.

Dajing Mountain produces soil tuckahoe, and almost all the villagers know this traditional Chinese medicine, so of course it is not that valuable, but Zhou Jinnian was not here to make money, but just to bring Ning Lang out.

Fortunately, when I reached the halfway up the mountain, I saw Smilax smilax vines with single leaves, entwining the surrounding bushes in the shape of vines.

Zhou Jinnian put down the bamboo basket and started digging herbs.

Xie Ning hadn't gone up the mountain for a long time, but before he fell into the water, he often went up the mountain to collect herbs.

Xie Ning bent down, put his hands on his knees and said to Zhou Jinnian, "I'll go ahead and look for August Hawthorn."

Zhou Jinnian looked up at Xie Ning, he was a greedy little thing.

"Don't go far away." As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Ning walked away briskly.

August hawthorn is also called August fried, because its fruit ripens in August, and it is ripe and edible when it bursts open.

It looks like a beef kidney, green in color when it is unripe, and yellow in color like a sweet potato when it is ripe.

After Zhou Jinnian finished digging the soil tuckahoe and put them into the bamboo basket, he heard Xie Ning's voice, "Ji Nian, come quickly!"

"Come and see!"

Hearing this voice, shouting and urging, as if he had found a treasure, Zhou Jinnian picked up the bamboo basket and quickened his pace to find someone.

Zhou Ji Nian waved away the branches and leaves blocking the way as he walked, and soon saw Xie Ning dressed in coarse blue clothes.

Xie Ning had already taken off his bamboo hat, and in the hat was a few August bombs. His long black hair was scattered behind his back, and he tied it at the back of his neck with a red cloth belt. He twisted his neck and looked at Zhou Jinnian with sparkling eyes.

"Look, Schisandra."

Following the direction of Xie Ning's finger, there are strings of red schisandra at the junction of the mountain and the edge of the mountain.Schisandra likes to grow under acidic humus soil, and grows around the surrounding shrubs and trees. Because of poor drought tolerance, wild Schisandra is hard to find.

Because schisandra has five flavors of sweet, sour, pungent, bitter, and salty, it is named schisandra.Fructus Schisandra condenses the lungs and relieves coughs. It is a good medicine for the folks to cure tuberculosis, the disease of riches and nobles.

With such a large area, this trip to the mountain to collect herbs really made a fortune.

"You are really..." The koi came back to life, Zhou Jinnian didn't say the next few words.

Xie Ning didn't hear clearly, immersed in the joy of discovering the treasure, he asked with a smile, "What?"

"Born to be lucky." Zhou Jinnian went to pick up the straw hat from Ning Lang's hand, put it in a bamboo basket on August and carried it on his back. "Go, go gather medicine."

Xie Ning was empty-handed, happily followed the people down the valley to pick schisandra.
