Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

"Qing Ran, what about the tribe and relatives? And your fifth uncle..." Mr. Zhong had a sad face.

Zhong Qingran informed the other three of the countermeasures he had discussed with shopkeeper Fu to reassure them.

"These black-hearted people have come up with such a vicious plan. How much do they hate the Zhong family?" Tong took a deep breath in her heart. After all, the Zhong family had a good life, and she hadn't enjoyed it for a few days. Being destroyed like this, she felt very angry.

"Grandma, calm down, maybe this is a good thing." Zhong Qingran winked at Jian Mingyu, who immediately got up and poured a cup of tea for Tong.

Tong Shi held the teacup in her hands, and the heat from it dispelled a lot of the haze in her heart.

"Grandpa and grandma, let's not disclose this matter to our father and uncles, and wait until the last night to tell them, so as not to leak the news. Just in case, Grandpa, please tell them not to go out for a few days When visiting relatives and friends, just tell them that you have something to do with them." Zhong Qingran proposed his own idea, and none of the three present objected.

After discussing the matter, Zhong Qingran didn't stay in the upper room any longer, and went back to the room with Jian Mingyu to clean up.He has so many things to do that he has no time to delay.

Since they had a long mountain road to go this time, they couldn't bring too many things, so they had to reluctantly discard the large quantities of food and the like.Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Tong went to the granary to look at it for a long time before coming out with red eyes.As Tong said before, it has been less than two years since the Zhong family started to work hard, and many ideas of the Zhong family have not yet been converted. Food is the lifeblood of farmers, and it is more important than anything else.Only with enough food by your side can you have the confidence to live.This time it's a good time, one can imagine the pain in my heart to leave behind the food they regard as their life.

When Zhong Qingran saw it, he could only turn his head and pretend he didn't see it.If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to do this, but things had already developed in an unpredictable direction, and he had no other choice.Unless Mr. and Mrs. Zhong give up Zhong Zhengli, kill their relatives righteously, and take the initiative to hand over Zhong Zhengli in exchange for the Zhong family living a humble life under the imperial power, is this possible?

Even if they were greedy for life and afraid of death, and the Zhong family really did this, they would become a thorn in the side of the Zhong family.The clan's future is burdened by the Zhong family. After the Zhong family loses the right to speak, isn't it being bullied by the clan every day?There is no way to live this day.

Because it is a waterway and a mountain road in the back, there are not many times when the carriage and the like will come in handy. Zhong Qingran originally wanted to give it up, but finally thought about it and took it with him. There are two elderly people and several children in the family. The car is really inconvenient.Fortunately, cattle and horses are adaptable to walking on mountain roads, so you can take them all with you. Otherwise, how much material can you take with you when you carry them on your shoulders?

The Zhong family didn't let out any rumors, and those who knew tried their best to put on a smiling face, but if it couldn't work, they just kept a blank face.When the villagers met, they only thought that they were worrying about the two troublemakers in the family, and they would not have other thoughts.

Zhong Qingran took Jian Mingyu to Xiaoshan, and picked all the herbs that could be harvested. At this season, only some perennial herbs can be harvested, and they can only sigh for the rest.

As for the hundreds of chickens and seven or eight sheep that were raised on the mountain, Zhong Qingran also ordered Shen Changgui's family to slaughter them and make them into dry products. Even if they were only half-sized, they would be slaughtered. If they were too young, they would be put into cages and taken away. .

Regarding Zhong Qingran's order, Shen Changgui's family was very confused, but they were just servants, and it was not their turn to question the decision made by the master. After confirming that the order was correct, Shen Changgui followed it without hesitation.

Zhong Qingran didn't say much, but just mentioned a word to them, telling them to pack up their belongings and prepare dry food. He will take them with him when he is going on a long journey in a few days, and someone else will take over from Xiaoshan.

Originally, Shen Changgui was still a little worried, but after hearing Zhong Qingran's words, he felt relieved again.They can do whatever the master tells them to do, as long as they don't sell them.A good boss like Zhong Qingran might not be able to find him with a lantern, so they hoped to follow him without incident.

Before leaving, Zhong Qingran explained carefully: "Changgui, you are staying in Xiaoshan these few days, don't go out, I will drive a carriage with Mingyu to pick you up in two days."

There was no reason for Shen Changgui not to follow, he readily complied.After watching Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu leave, Shen Changgui locked the mountain gate.

"Changgui, this is the master's family?" Wang's heart was flustered, and she didn't know why the master's family made such an abrupt decision.

"Don't think about it. I don't know. It's up to the master to go by himself. He doesn't want to take us with him. No matter where he goes, we have to follow closely. Let's go to work. There are so many chickens and sheep to deal with. With the four of us, I'm afraid we're too busy. Fortunately, the master is considerate of us, and the chicken can be dealt with roughly, otherwise, even if we don't sleep and rest, we may not be able to complete the task." Shen Changgui said while tidying up things, Called the two boys at home, got up and went to the mountain to catch chickens, and Mrs. Wang stayed at home to boil water.

After arriving home, Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu went down to the cellar one after the other.

"Mingyu, let's not take the mushrooms that have been planted. I made an agreement with shopkeeper Fu. As soon as we leave, he will send someone over to remove them all. I will give him the planting method. We just need to take them away. Enough strains are enough." Zhong Qingran glanced at the Hericium erinaceus in his cellar with nostalgia, and turned around resolutely.

The third prince made great efforts in this incident and took huge risks, these should be regarded as a little reward for him.As for the Ganoderma lucidum, there were very few of them in the first place, so he took it away first, and then decided to give it to shopkeeper Fu after checking the situation.

"Okay, then I'll help grandma make dry food, and call me if you have anything to do." Jian Mingyu said nothing, these are all things outside his body, he doesn't value them so much, it's best if he can take them away, and he doesn't if he can't take them away What a pity.

Both Zhong Zhengyi and Zhong Zhengli lived in the guest room in the front yard. In order not to leak the news, they were arranged by Mr. Zhong to Zhong Zhengren's house after the plan was finalized.Now, except for Zhong Qingshu, Xingping, and Jian Mingchen, who is still a child in the ethnology school in the daytime, the entire Zhong family is just a family of four. With the door closed, no one knows what they are doing.

Regarding Zhong Qingshu, Zhong Qingran was not worried at all, thinking with his feet, he knew that Zhong Qingshu would definitely go with him.Zhong Qingshu and his own father's house have formed a bond, if Zhong Qingran is not around, can he have a peaceful life?This is without considering the premise of Jinshang's anger. If this is included, even if the tribe escapes by chance, Zhong Qingshu will be angered, and it is impossible to gain a foothold in Hewan Village.

After Mrs. Tong cheered up, the fire in the kitchen never stopped, and a tempting fragrance wafted from it from time to time.Although the weather is getting warmer now, the overall temperature is not high. The lowest temperature during the day is still below zero, and the temperature is even lower at night. Food is easy to preserve.Therefore, they have a lot of choices, and they don't need to make dry food that is very dry, with almost no moisture, and a bite may break their teeth if they are not careful.

This time, Tong's spent a lot of money, not to mention the seasonings such as oil and salt, even the refined rice and white noodles with fish meat are made as if they don't cost money, they are all compacted.In the past, she racked her brains, thinking about how to use one catty of grain to produce the effect of two catties of grain, but now it's the other way around.

Although Zhong Qingran didn't say it clearly, both Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Tong knew that it would be difficult for them to come back after they left. What they left this time would only be cheaper for the clansmen. If they didn't take as much as possible, who would I won't feel at ease.

Looking at the fried golden and fragrant thick meatloaf placed on the strainer, Tong Shi finally had a little smile in his eyes.There are so many people in the family, she doesn't cook more, and it will not be so convenient to cook when she is on the boat.After all, the amount of firewood that can be brought is limited, and there are not many charcoal fires, and most of them are used for heating. It is impossible for them to go ashore to replenish, and I am afraid they can only cook some simple dishes.

Seeing Jian Mingyu who opened the door and came in, Tong's smile became even wider: "Mingyu, Grandma's craftsmanship is not as good as yours. You can do the rest, and Grandma will help you."

Jian Mingyu readily agreed, and as soon as he washed his hands, he put on an apron and began to work non-stop on the stove.For the sake of portability, soupy food should be avoided as much as possible. Even if it is braised meat and fried fish, the sauce will be thick, and it will freeze into a ball after a short time outside.At this time, no one pays so much attention to it. But after the same dish is frozen, it is stacked together, pressed tightly, wrapped in oiled paper and put into a wooden box.

Zhong Qingran secretly manipulated some lucky luck into a copper box as thin as a cicada's wings, which served as the inner lining of the wooden box.In this way, not only the shelf life of food is greatly extended, but also waterproof, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

In addition to pancakes, there are many buns, steamed buns and fried noodles for noodles. Rice is mostly rice balls, and a large number of different types of vermicelli are also made.After a busy day, Tong Shi felt that her arms were sore and swollen, and it didn't look like her own.

Seeing this, Zhong Qingran took a bottle of medicated oil to Mr. Zhong, and asked him to rub it on Tong Shi, and rub it well, so that the medicated oil would take effect as soon as possible.

It's not that Zhong Qingran is unwilling to help in the kitchen, it's because he has a lot of things to do.He has to be equipped with a lot of seasickness medicine and commonly used medicine. Who knows what will happen in the future, if he is not fully prepared, he is irresponsible to himself, his family, and the people who go with them. He doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble on this. With the loss of many personnel, people are panicking, what is the next way?

The two elders still wanted to continue working at night, but were persuaded by Zhong Qingran to go back. They are old, and working for a long time is not good for their health, and they will be in trouble if they get sick.On their trip this time, there was a long mountain road to go on the way. If they were sick, they had to be carried on their backs, which was a heavy burden.

The next morning, Tong Shi woke up. She moved her arms, and she felt okay, only a little more sluggish than before. Although she knew that Qingran was talented in pharmaceuticals, she couldn't help but admire his level of dispensing medicines.Tong's face was full of pride, and he was very frightened, because his grandson was capable, and he was better at learning everything than others.

In the past few days, even Zhong Qingran didn't sleep until he woke up naturally. He got up early, finished cooking in a hurry, and was about to get up and sneak into the pharmacy when he was stopped by Mr. Zhong: "Qingran, what about the two pigs at home?"

The Zhong family raised three pigs last year, one of which was slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, and the remaining two were half-grown.Killing a pig is nothing more than anything else, as soon as you move the knife, the pig will definitely make a noise that everyone in the neighborhood will know.Pigs are big things, if they are not fattened, who would be willing to slaughter them?Besides, to kill a pig, you have to hire a pig butcher, and you have to run a pig butcher, which is too troublesome. The Zhong family doesn't want to attract attention now, so they have to let Zhong Qingran think of a way.

"Grandpa and grandma, I have a solution for this matter. How about this, let's call dad and uncles over tomorrow morning, and then they don't go back. Tell them about the matter at night, and then let parents and a few uncles and aunts go back Clean it up softly. In this way, grandma can save a little effort, and won't leak the news because of it." Zhong Qingran thought of a compromise.

Mr. Zhong thought about it carefully, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, so he agreed.

"Grandpa, what if some aunt doesn't want to go with us, what should we do? We can't forcefully drag him away, right?" Jian Mingyu didn't usually speak much, but his sudden suggestion made everyone jump.

"Mingyu, can't you? Such a big event happened at home, if they don't go together, do they still want to stay and be bullied? Besides, the aunts and daughters have several children, are they willing?" Zhong Qingran's eyebrows were all tangled together, He really didn't think about it.

"I took the time to ask Qing Shu yesterday. After receiving the divorce certificate, the aunts can return home with their dowry. From then on, they will have nothing to do with the Zhong family. With the future uncertain, who knows what they will choose? After all , if they leave with us, they may also implicate their natal family. It is not unusual for them to think about themselves." Jian Mingyu has heard many such things. Married men and women will abandon their husbands and children, and leave after taking the divorce certificate. If the husband's family proposes, they will be treated better and can get the divorce certificate.

Similarly, if something happened to the natal family, the status of married men and women would plummet. In order not to be affected by them, the husband's family would simply give them a divorce letter and cut off their relationship for many years. Such things are not uncommon.

In fact, Mr. Zhong and his wife have experienced these things the most. Logically, they should be the first to consider them.They didn't think about this incident, but it was dark under the lights, thinking that none of the five daughter-in-laws were brides, except for the fifth child who was not around, even the fourth child with the fewest children, there were two who could run and dance a long time ago Children, not to mention, the fourth daughter-in-law still has one in her belly. Under such circumstances, how can she be willing?

People always think on the bright side. The two elders thought that their daughter-in-law and son had been together for so many years, and seeing that they got along very well, and they basically didn't blush, they took it for granted that they would follow in the footsteps of their husbands.But the fact is not necessarily the case. Husband and wife are like birds in the forest, flying separately when disaster strikes. This is not a rare thing, and maybe this will happen to their wives as well.

No, maybe even the children and grandchildren may not be of one mind with them.Thinking of this, Mr. Zhong felt a little downcast. People's hearts are really unpredictable. In the past, it might have seemed like a small conflict in the family. When there is a disaster, it is the easiest time to see everyone's true colors.Maybe they can share joys and sorrows, but in front of their lives, what are these things? How many people are willing to take this risk?

Not only Mr. Zhong's complexion is ugly, Tong's is also not much better than him.They really can't force this kind of life-threatening matter. This matter is that Zhong Zhengli has troubled his daughters-in-law. The two elders don't even have the position to say this. Can't do it.

In the era when the imperial power was supreme, no one wanted to offend Tian Yan, so where could he go if he ran away?It's better to take the divorce letter and have nothing to do with Zhong's family from now on. Wouldn't it be better to live in An An than to be scared all day long?Besides, Mr. Zhong and his wife are not vicious people, and Zhong Zhengren's four brothers are not so cruel. The Zhong family is not short of money. Everyone likes to get together and get together. Maybe they can get a generous share of money from the Zhong family. , such a cost-effective matter, Mr. Zhong really can't guarantee that there will be no daughter-in-law who will not be tempted.

Mr. Zhong has four daughters-in-law by his side, and the ratio of four out of one is really not high, and it is possible to leave two or three.He didn't know who to blame for this matter, the matter was provoked by the fourth child, but he didn't do it voluntarily, and he was also framed by others.The fourth child's burden is already heavy enough, Mr. Zhong can't even say serious words.

Qingran, he will not blame him, the good life of the Zhong family in the past two years has been brought about by him, and the troubles caused by the fourth child are not because of Qingran's doing something outrageous and unreasonable, which attracted enemies Retaliation, this is purely the vicious intention of the behind-the-scenes, taking the Zhong family to cut off an arm of the third prince, this plan is really clanging.However, they succeeded, and the Zhong family had to leave their homeland and go far away. It is not known whether he can return to his hometown in his lifetime.

"Let's go with the flow, it's useless to force it to stay." Mr. Zhong waved his hand to let Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu go down, and he wanted to be quiet.

Hearing that the door was gently closed behind him, Zhong Qingran turned his head and said to Jian Mingyu: "Mingyu, you should prepare more weapons and materials. There is not enough time now. It will not be too late to do it slowly after you leave."

"Okay." Jian Mingyu stopped, changed direction, took tools from the utility room, and entered the mountain.Ironware was hard to come by in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but woodenware was easy.Among the many wooden weapons, bows and arrows are the most intimidating. It just so happens that he can make them. If you go into the mountains to chop more, maybe you can really use them in the future.

Zhong Qingran found Dianbai and Leiming, and asked them to hover at high altitude near Hewan Village as a warning.Now these two little guys are not small, with a wingspan of more than one meter. They can really scare children to tears when they dive down quickly. Even adults will be terrified when they encounter them.

Naturally raised eagles are afraid of humans and will not attack them easily, while domesticated ones, such as Dianbai and Minglei, as long as Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu give orders to attack any living thing, they will do so without hesitation .Of course, these two eagles are very smart, they will not fight hard steel with their prey.With the cooperation of the two eagles, they even caught the lone wolf.This is also the result of Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu's training.

After understanding Zhong Qingran's instructions, Dianbai and Minglei took off in opposite directions.They fly very high, and their sharp eyes scan downward, paying special attention to fast things.

In order to reduce the chances of the two eagles being in distress, when Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu thought about it, they would shoot arrows at the sky with hunting bows, so that Dianbai and Minglei could feel the threat of bows and arrows to them.The two eagles are already smart. When Jian Mingyu was hunting, they had seen the lethality of bows and arrows. They were extremely sensitive to arrow branches. When they found them, they would hide in the slanting thorns, and then raised their bodies and flew out of the arrow branches range.

Dianbai and Minglei were patrolling their territory at high altitude, and the two eagles would pass by each other occasionally. The chirping sound was regarded as a greeting, and then they went forward separately, continuing to carry out the tasks assigned by Jian Mingyu.

After Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Tong packed up their mood and walked out of the upper room, Zhong Qingran also pushed the door out.

"Grandmother, Mingyu has something to go to the mountains, so you can take it easy when cooking alone, don't work too hard." Zhong Qingran warned worriedly, "Let's make the pasta when Mingyu comes back, kneading the noodles is too laborious."

"Understood, grandma will pay attention, go ahead." There was a faint smile on the corner of Tong's mouth. These days, family affairs happened one after another. She and the old man were in a bad mood all day long, so they turned to When I was a child, I had a little smile on my face.

Zhong Qingran naturally wouldn't be polite to the two elders, after saying goodbye to them, he immediately plunged into the pharmacy.Jizhou is in the north of Pingyang County, and the temperature is lower than that of Hewan Village. He had to prepare some frostbite medicine in case of emergency.There is no carriage to sit in, and the journey is not difficult without walking on two legs.

In order to reduce the risk of exposure, they can only do this, hoping that the emperor will treat them leniently, hehe, this is too illusory, let's forget it.Anyway, if they can't go to the Zhong family now, they will suffer at most. If they decide to take action against the Zhong family, then they can escape disaster by doing so.Anyone with a discerning eye will know how to do it cost-effectively.

Mr. Zhong is rushing to make bamboo baskets. They don't plan to go to Pingyang County. After buying a few in the village, the remaining ones have to be made by their own family members.Fortunately, Mr. Zhong is not busy alone. His four sons have been doing this all day for the past two days.The daughters-in-law are sewing sacks. Food is the foundation of life. Even if they want to throw away most of it, they can take as much as they can.

Zhong Qingran originally objected, such a burden was too heavy, how could he hurry?But looking at the scorching eyes of the two elders sticking to the food, wishing to melt it, Zhong Qingran had no choice but to compromise.Besides, besides traveling on mountain roads, horse-drawn carts and ox carts can still be used at other times, and when the time comes to put them on the cart, everyone can take a breather.Zhong Qingran made such an explanation for the behavior of the two elders.

Zhong Zhengzhi's home.

"Head of the family, why do parents ask us to do this?" Sitting on the kang, Liu put aside the half-sewn linen bag in her hand, clenched her fist with her right hand, and tapped her back lightly. She was more than six months pregnant and already affect her daily activities.

"I don't know, just do what Dad said, and we don't need to ask about the rest." Zhong Zhengzhi spoke in the same calm tone as usual, but there were waves in his heart.The matter of the third brother made such a big fuss before, but now there is no movement. This is not a good sign. The arrangement of his parents makes him even more uneasy. I hope he is thinking too much.

"That's the reasoning, I just find it strange." Mrs. Liu didn't worry too much about this issue, and when she felt better, she buried her head in the work at hand.

"Hey!" Dianbai fell in the courtyard, and a gust of wind blew up the dust as it passed, blowing all the dust into the air.

Zhong Qingran got up immediately, went into the room and took out a stack of portraits, all the members of the Zhong family in Hewan Village were on top of it.He spread out the drawing papers one by one on the ground, and let Dianbai examine them carefully.

After recognizing it for a long time, Dianbai stretched out his left wing and pointed at two of the portraits with the tip of his wing.Zhong Qingran picked it out, and after reconfirming that it was correct, he greeted Mr. Zhong and his wife, then turned and walked towards the stables, harnessed the horse neatly, picked up the two elders at the door, and drove quickly to the old house.

"Third Uncle, where is Third Aunt?" Zhong Qingran strode into the front yard and asked Zhong Zhengli directly.Mr. Zhong was a step slower, and then he also entered the guest room.

"Going to her natal family." Zhong Zhengli looked surprised, "Is there a problem?"

"Third Aunt brought Qing Fei with her?"

"Well, the child is still young, so he can't leave his mother." The more he asked, the more disturbed Zhong Zhengli became.Isn't this normal? How can the third nephew come to ask?Even his parents were alarmed, could something be wrong?He is only such a son, if he is gone, what is the difference between this and poaching his heart?

Seeing Third Uncle's anxious look, Zhong Qingran knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly added: "Third Aunt and the others are fine." After speaking, he turned his gaze to Mr. Zhong.

"Didn't I tell you not to visit your relatives these few days?" Seeing that Zhong Zhengli had something to say, Mr. Zhong gave him a look, and immediately shut him up, "Don't ask, go quickly!" Call back. If she is going to her mother's house, she will wait until after tomorrow. Don't be in a hurry right now? Fourth, take your mother with you."

Zhong Zhengli was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything else. Anyway, this is a trivial matter, so it doesn't matter if he goes two days late.

"Mom, are you seated?"

"Fourth, let's go."

With the sound of "drive", the carriage drove forward quickly.

Zhang's ox cart was much slower than the horse cart, and Zhong Zhengli overtook him not long after.

Seeing his wife and children standing in front of him, Zhong Zhengli hurriedly reined in his horse, and hurried forward: "Second Uncle Li, I have something to do with looking for a wife. We won't take this car, and I will pay for it."

Second Uncle Li happily took the fare, and drove away in an ox cart, leaving Monk Zhang Er, who was puzzled, facing Zhong Zhengli: "Zhengli, who is this? Didn't I tell you, this morning I Go to your mother's house, and you will be back in the next afternoon, won't you miss what dad said?"

"Let's go, let's talk in the car." Zhong Zhengli carefully turned around in the carriage. The road was not very wide, so he had to be careful.

"Mother, why are you here?" Mrs. Zhang was shocked when she saw Mrs. Tong in the carriage.

"It's okay, I just let the fourth brother take me out for a drive." Tong Shi would not say, if the fourth brother can't convince her, then she will use her status to force her. Now that things are going so smoothly, she is naturally useless, but Can she tell the truth?At least not on the main road, no matter how you have to wait until you get home.Therefore, Tong Shi had to make up a nonsense excuse, which sounded like that.

What else can Mrs. Zhang say?I can only think about it in my heart, it is a good example for the children to be a monster when you are old.

After Zhong Zhengli and the others came back, Mr. Zhong gathered everyone in the old house, and said in a deep voice: "I'll say it again, I have something to do tomorrow, so don't go out from today, so as to avoid delays, where can I find it tomorrow?" You go? Remember?"

All the children and grandchildren nodded obediently, and Mr. Zhong glanced around to make sure that no one was perfunctory, then got up and prepared to go home: "They are all gone, don't forget to come tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

As soon as Mr. Zhong and the three left, the old house became noisy.

"Brother, dad, what does he need to use so many of us?" Zhong Zhengyi frowned, as if there was an irresolvable knot.These days, he is annoying.Although there is no substantive relationship with Miss Qian's second daughter, Qian Yao's reputation has been completely ruined. Is there something wrong with his family?But he couldn't refuse, he could only hope that the second miss of the Qian family would be lucky enough to find a suitable family, and he would definitely wrap up a generous gift.

Zhong Zhengren was also at a loss. He turned his eyes to the other two younger brothers. Both of them didn't know what kind of medicine Mr. Zhong was selling in the gourd. Everyone present could only look at each other.

"Okay, we're all gone, and do as father ordered." Zhong Zhengren took the lead to leave, followed by the rest.

After everyone left, Mrs. Zhang closed the door and asked in a low voice: "Master, my parents called me back, you really don't know why?"

"What's there to hide about this? I really don't know, or I would have told you long ago." Zhong Zhengli was a little impatient, he had said it several times, but Mrs. Zhang still insisted on this matter, she was not bothered, He is also bored.

"You won't really marry that Lu Xiang'er back, will you?" When Mrs. Zhang thought of this, her face showed a bit of ferocity.

"Nothing, Qingran helped to solve it."

"That's good, really let that little goblin come in, and you and I can live a happy life?" Zhang's face softened.

"Okay, don't talk about these things, put Fei'er on the bed, the work that parents told me hasn't been done yet." Zhong Zhengli lowered his head, competing with the baskets under his hands.Among the brothers, the fifth child is the one who does the least farm work, and he is the rest.This time, the things my father wants are very particular. It doesn't matter if they don't look good, but they must be strong. If he doesn't use dim sum, the things he makes will probably be disgusted by his father.He has already caused such a big trouble, and he doesn't want to have another trouble and be scolded by his parents again.

Mrs. Zhang turned around, curled her lips, put her youngest son on the kang, surrounded him with a quilt, took out a needle and thread, and began to work slowly.

"Qing Ran, why did Ming Yu go? He hasn't returned yet." Mr. Zhong sat at the table of the Eight Immortals who had just withdrawn for lunch, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Grandpa, don't worry, Mingyu will come back when he finds enough wood. I think it should be soon." Zhong Qingran knew that Jian Mingyu had a clear goal, but the places were scattered. It would be quite time-consuming to go through all of them, and then briefly deal with them and bring them back.He was not only worried about Jian Mingyu's safety, but in this season, prey activities were infrequent, and the chance of Jian Mingyu getting into trouble was very low.

"That's good, but don't have an accident at this time."

Sure enough, after half an hour, Jian Mingyu carried a bunch of things into the backyard.

"Go and wash, and the rice will be kept warm for you. It's not too late to be busy after lunch." Tong Shi heard the movement in the yard, opened the door and saw Jian Mingyu, and immediately turned around to set the dishes.

Among the whole family, Jian Mingyu eats the most. He alone can eat the equivalent of Tong Shi and Zhong Qingran combined. In the past, the family was so poor that he couldn't open his stomach to eat, but now he doesn't need to be so economical. Delicious and delicious, Jian Mingyu's stature has grown very quickly, and he is now even taller than Zhong Qingran.

Zhong Qingran didn't think so, his physical development was a bit slow, and he was a bit shorter than Jian Mingyu, but compared with his peers in the village, he was also in the tall group, and he didn't worry about growing up to be a dwarf at all.

The Zhong family has been cooking for the past two days, and the lunch is very sumptuous.Jian Mingyu had been busy working for several hours before, he was really hungry, so he started to feast on the small table set up in the kitchen.

The smell of food was wafting everywhere in the kitchen, and the lunch was a bit eclipsed because of this, but Jian Mingyu didn't care at all, after a few snorts, a big bowl of rice was eaten, and the food in his stomach naturally slowed down.He had heard from Qingran that chewing food slowly was good for the body to absorb nutrients. He was hungry just now, but now that he thought about it, he had to do as Qingran said.

After finishing the meal, Jian Mingyu put down his chopsticks: "Grandma, I can do a little processing of the wood outside. It won't take long. I will do the more tedious and labor-intensive work."

"Okay, Grandma understands, don't use too much force." Tong replied while peeling the eggshell.

What she cooks now is pork stewed with eggs. There are a large number of people in her family. Although she knows that several pigs will be slaughtered tomorrow, she still weighs a few pigs at the butcher shop in the village.Hundreds of catties of pork are distributed to twenty or so people. Calculated, there is really not much that each person can get. It is estimated that there will not be much left after eating and disembarking.If there are clansmen following them, the rich ones will be fine, but for those poor families, why don't they give alms?In any case, it was the Zhong family who brought them down, and the Zhong family couldn't pretend it wasn't there.

In the early morning of the next day, when it was still dark, Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Tong got up, and each knocked on the door of their two sons' house with a pack of medicine powder.

"Mother, why did you come here so early? We'll go to the new house after dinner." Zhong Zhengren yawned and pushed open the door. Seeing that it was Tong Shi, he suddenly woke up.

"Don't yell, go, let's go in and talk about it." Tong Shi stepped into the threshold, and the door creaked shut behind her, "Boss, ask your wife to prepare some pig food, it doesn't need much, a little is enough, and you Come with me to the pigsty, by the way, call out the second and third."

Zhong Zhengren was full of puzzlement, but he was a simple-minded person, and he listened to what his parents said, and when he saw what Tong said, he followed suit.

When Zhong Zhengren got up, Ming had already put on his clothes and got up: "Who's here? It's so early in the morning."

"Mother is in the kitchen, you go and help mother cook pig food, and I'll wake Zhengyi and the others up." After explaining to Mingshi, Zhong Zhengren raised his feet and walked towards the guest room, where Tuliu Mingshi opened and closed his mouth. After closing the Zhang, he didn't say a word in a daze.

Hurrying into the kitchen, Ming couldn't hold back anymore, and asked directly: "Mother, why did you come here to make pig food this early in the morning?"

"I want your three pigs." Tong got up from the stove and turned back to the stove, "Go and see the fire, I'll mix the pig food."

"Mother..." Ming was completely dumbfounded.

"Will mother still cheat on you? Don't worry, I won't want you for nothing." Tong naturally understood what the eldest daughter-in-law was thinking, and she would not be happy if her mother-in-law did this.

Ming was speechless for a moment. How could she have any objection after Tong said that?But the doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger. There are three pigs in the family, two are half-grown, and one is a piglet. What can they do?

Since there was very little cooked pig food, Tong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked hard and got it done quickly.

"Boss, you put on the ox cart and pull it to the pigsty. The second child, the third child, and everyone, follow me." Tong took the lead and walked towards the pigsty familiarly.

The rest of you look at me, I look at you, no one knows why Tong did this.

Ming poured the pig food into the stone trough, smelling the smell of the food, the three pigs didn't even sleep, and gathered around the stone trough to eat happily.

During the period before dawn, the temperature was very low. Zhong Zhengyi rubbed his hands to keep himself warm, but he never left the pigsty.

"Plop." The little piglet fell to the ground first, but after a while, there were two more "Plop" and "Plop", and the two half-grown pigs followed in the footsteps of their companions.

"Mother, what is this?" The Ming family didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, it's just a little sweat medicine, and they will scream when you grab them. This way, it will save a lot of trouble." Tong's words were light and light, which scared everyone else.Then he thought that Qingran knew medical skills, and he was relieved.If not, is it possible that anyone can buy the drugs?Generally, pharmacies will keep records. If something goes wrong, the first person to be questioned is the person who bought the medicine.Fortunately, if he is worthy, he doesn't have to worry about being found by someone from the public family one day.

"Okay, what are you guys still doing? Hurry up and move these three pigs to the bullock cart. For everyone, go get some straw and cover them." Tong Shi ordered Zhong Zhengren and others in an orderly manner, according to her instructions ask to do.

The old house is relatively far away, but there are many people there, and the work is done faster. The Tong family is equal to Mr. Zhong before and after.
