little son-in-law

"Hey. Brother Mo, it's already noon, and you haven't gone home for dinner, what are you looking at?" Tiejiang Sun, who was also nearby, passed by the Mo family's orchard with a hoe on his shoulder, and saw the two masters and servants of the Mo family. They whispered and laughed under the crabapple tree.

"It's Brother Blacksmith. We're going home for lunch. Let's go back here too. Let's go together." Mo Nanjin patted Xiao Mo, motioning him to follow.

"I said Brother Mo, you have cleaned up your orchard so diligently, when will it bear fruit? I didn't say that, your fruit trees are all moved from the mountains, and the fruits of those fruit trees on the mountains are not edible. Look, don’t be so busy.” They were walking on the small road down the mountain, weeds grew on both sides of the road, and there were some flowers and trees, and sparrows, magpies and other birds flew from the grass from time to time.

"I understand what Brother Blacksmith means. Let's plant it for two years and see." After all, the other fruit trees haven't bear fruit yet, and he can't say with certainty that they will be successful. Let's wait until everything is confirmed.

"Uncle Blacksmith, you are wrong this time. The fruit trees planted by my young master will definitely bear big and sweet fruits. Our crabapple tree will bear fruit this year." In Xiao Mo's heart, the young master is omnipotent. How could he bear others' suspicion of the young master.

"This crabapple is also planted by many people. It is just for fresh flowers, but the fruit is produced every year, and the taste is not very good." Sun Tiejiang changed his shoulder to carry the hoe, and looked at Xiao Mo with a smile.

"What my young master grows must be delicious."

"This little Mo really is!" Tiejiang Sun shook his head with a smile.

"Brother blacksmith, don't worry about it like him. It's like a child." Mo Nanjin signaled Xiao Mo to stop talking.

"At my age, do I still want to argue with a child? Besides, what Xiao Mo said is not necessarily wrong. You scholars, of course, do things differently." Everyone has seen the things of the Mo family in the past two years. In his eyes, although he didn't say much, in fact, everyone didn't think that the young master of the Mo family was a capable person.The key is to be willing to help people.I don't know how many people have been helped by the water pipe.

"Brother blacksmith was joking, if the crabapple tastes good this year, I must send some to brother blacksmith to taste."

"That's a good relationship, I can wait."

On the way, everyone met a few people returning home, talked about Ye Qing's marriage, and everyone sighed for Wei San's demeanor.

When they got home, Tiejiang Sun abducted him to Ye Qing's house again. Tiejiang Sun was Ye Qing's second uncle, and Ye Qing's father was gone, so he naturally had to worry about the marriage, besides, this time he encountered such a thing .

"Daddy is back!"

As soon as Mo Nanjin entered the door, Xing Zhi and Jing Zhi rushed into his arms.

"Did you listen to your mother well at home in the morning? Did you study hard?" Mo Nanjin hugged each other.

"Yes, yes, Daddy, mother taught us the beginning of the Book of Songs today." Jing Zhi put his chubby arms around Mo Nanjin's neck, and answered first.

"I still teach my younger sister to write big characters." Xingzhi is not far behind.

"Xingzhi taught my sister how to write?" Mo Nanjin smiled in surprise, but asked Yuyang who was standing under the porch.

"Yeah, Xingzhi taught Yunzhi today, and now Yunzhi writes the character one straight and flat." Yuyang couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling.

Xingzhi's big eyes looked at Mo Nanjin with sparkling eyes, with a look of "Daddy, you see, Xingzhi is very good".

Mo Nanjin laughed and touched the two children with his forehead, how could his own children be so cute.

"Jing Zhi, Xing Zhi, come down quickly, Daddy is very tired after working all morning." Yuyang walked forward with a smile, stretched out his hand, and took the two children. "Let Daddy wash it first, and we'll have dinner when we come back, okay?"

"Daddy, are you tired? Can Jing Zhi beat Daddy's back later?"

"Walk and beat daddy's back."

"If you learn how to talk, you will become a parrot sooner or later. If you learn how to do things, you will definitely become a puppy." Jing Zhi made a face towards Xing Zhi.

"Daddy, brother called me a puppy." Xingzhi slapped Mo Nanjin aggrievedly.

"Okay, daddy's shoulders are so tired, Jingzhi and Xingzhi will help daddy beat it later, okay?" Mo Nanjin couldn't hold back her smiling face in front of the two children.

"well!"

"Then let's wash our hands first." Mo Nanjin took one in each hand, nodded to Yuyang who was beside him, and led the two to the backyard.Xiao Mo followed behind and came together.

Xiao Mo went to the kitchen to mix some hot water and brought it out, and put it on the stake in the yard.Mo Nanjin soaked the four little paws in the water and kneaded them slowly.

"Daddy, some petals have fallen into the basin." Xingzhi's little hands were flapping in the basin to catch the pear blossoms that fell into the water.Pick up a piece and stick it on Jing Zhi's forehead with a "snap".

"Brother, beautiful bride!" Xing Zhi jumped up happily and clapped his hands.

"You are the bride!" Jing Zhi was not reconciled, picked up a piece and stuck it on Xing Zhi's forehead.

"Two mischievous ghosts." Mo Nanjin laughed, took their little hands and wiped them clean.

"Young master, the bride is wearing peach blossom makeup, how can there be pear blossoms on it?" The custom here is that when a bride gets married, she wants to find a woman who is said to be blessed to paint a peach blossom on her forehead to express her respect for the newlyweds. Mother's blessing, this is the so-called bridal peach blossom makeup.

"Listen to their nonsense!"

In the dining room, Mingyue was still preparing meals, Xiao Mo went to help, Mo Nanjin moved a small bamboo stool to the yard to sit, two small ones stood behind him, waving their small fists and tapping on his shoulders.The strength is not strong, but it is soft, and the heart of the scratcher is warm and itchy.

"Daddy, are you comfortable?" Xing Zhi moved his head closer.

"Very comfortable!" Mo Nanjin patted him in admiration.

"Daddy, is it comfortable to stop or me?"

"They are all very comfortable, and my son is the most comfortable to knock on."

"Sir, it's time for dinner, you two come over and sit down to eat." Yuyang also came out holding Yunzhi.The food is also ready.

These days, Yuyang has also taken over a large embroidery job. The second lady of the prefect of Yunzhou’s family is getting married, and the wedding dress specified by Yuyang is appointed. The wedding dress of this kind of rich family is also very particular, and the time is also very fast. If it were an ordinary family, Yuyang would have rejected it, but now that they are the lord of a state, they still want to live a good life here, so of course they can't offend such a family.The only consolation is that the money given is very generous.

Most of the meals now are cooked by Mingyue alone.Today, Mingyue made fried pork with garlic sprouts, eggs with leeks, tofu with hibiscus, diced chicken with spicy peppers, fried shiitake mushrooms with spring bamboo shoots, and a spinach soup.

"My husband, try this shredded bamboo shoots, they were just delivered by Caiqing two days ago." Yuyang picked up a chopstick of spring bamboo shoots and put them in Mo Nanjin's bowl.

Mo Nanjin took a bite and said, "Well, it's very fresh. Mingyue's cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Thank you, uncle!" Mingyue said while taking care of Yunzhi for dinner.

"By the way, my husband, how is the work in the orchard now?"

"It's almost too soon, just apply fertilizer today and tomorrow, and water it." Mo Nanjin ignored the instantly collapsed expressions of the two little ones, and picked up chopsticks, leeks and eggs for each of them.These two only focus on meat dishes every time they eat. "Hey, eat more green vegetables." Seeing the two eating the vegetables, she nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"Those pottery pipes that were planted earlier this spring can be used now?"

"Xiao Mo and I tried it, and it works very well. It saves trouble and waters it quickly. Right, Xiao Mo?"

"That's right, Young Madam, we don't need to carry water anymore, it's the Young Master who is smart enough to come up with this good idea." Xiao Mo looked proud.

"This little Mo, what his young master does is good." Yuyang joked with a smile, and gave him a piece of chicken, saying; "Xiao Mo has worked the hardest, eat a piece of chicken to make up for it."

Xiao Mo quickly picked up the bowl and continued, "Thank you, Young Madam."

Because this land is at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, far away from the water source of Shilixue, the terrain is high, and the river cannot flow through when digging canals. It is not only tiring to carry water back and forth, but also the amount of water is small.Later, he discovered that there was a small stream in the mountain, but the distance was not too close. He thought that he could find a way to bring the water down. When he saw the ceramic workshop in the town making water tanks, he asked them to make some ceramic pipes.Connect the ceramic pipes and bury them in the ground, extend one end into the creek, and the other end into the canal in the orchard. The end of the ceramic pipe extending into the creek is usually blocked, and it is opened when watering, and the water will flow all the way to the orchard inside.Later, the nearby farmers were asked to dig canals, so that they could also use these ceramic pipes to divert water, which also brought them great convenience.

"Don't patronize others, and eat more yourself. These days, you have to be busy with the prefect's wedding dress, and take care of these three little ones at home."

"Well, this spring is really busy. After these busy days, everyone will rest, and our family will go out for a walk and go for an outing!"

"Okay, mother is awesome!" Xingzhi cheered.

"Swallow it first, don't talk with food in your mouth. Be careful of choking!" Mo Nanjin gently patted his back.

"Little idiot." Jing Zhi rolled his eyes at him.

Yunzhi also infected everyone's happy atmosphere, waving his little hands excitedly.

This spring is indeed very busy, but it is also very fulfilling. After this spring is busy, life at home will be better.
