Married a scholar

▍Sow wheat seeds!

The two entered the kitchen, Meng Yining scooped up hot water and put it in the basin, while watching people wash up, he told him what he did this morning, and what happened to Meng Xue when he came back, and Meng Yining hummed when it was over. Laughed, "Just watch, maybe the Meng family will come over to make trouble in the next two days."

There are two acres of high-quality fields, and the fields are still near the river. The Meng family probably hasn't heard any news in the past two days.Especially old lady Meng.

He was glad that he had decisively written the letter of divorce, otherwise it would be difficult to break up with that side now.

Marriage out is not divorce, if not for the written divorce letter, Meng's family would not be able to keep their little calf if they could not get the two acres of land. He believed that the stingy old lady Meng would definitely do it. It came out that he took his family's cattle as his own.

After writing the letter of divorce, he resolutely took the initiative to give 50 Wen a month to the old-age pension, which was rare in ancient times.After all, married brothers and sisters are not obliged to support their grandparents, especially if there are uncles on top.

He took the initiative to give the old-age pension there, not only to explain that he is not a heartless person, but also to silence the villagers. In the future, his family's life will be easier. If the Meng family wants to take advantage of it, if he doesn't do it, no one can say What.

As for how to deal with that side in the future, it depends on whether that side is familiar with it.

It is one thing for him to offer it on his own initiative, but it is another thing for others to seize it.

Even if he has high strength, he can't give it to everyone, even if he really wants to fight, he has to be reasonable.

Xia Wenze also knew what the old lady of the Meng family was like, "Don't worry, it's clearly written in the contract."

"Yeah." Meng Yining wasn't worried about making trouble there at first, he just wanted to see what the old lady of the Meng family would do, and then he calmly vented his anger on the original owner.

At noon, Meng Yining steamed a sausage, and fried bacon with garlic sprouts.

After lunch, Xia Wenze gave Meng Yining the money for selling the blood coagulation grass, "I sold it for 1000 taels, but the shopkeeper said our blood coagulation grass had intact roots and could be replanted, so he gave an extra 200 taels. The money from selling pheasants and roe deer plus one or two taels on me, and after buying the cattle, there is still 220 four Wen left.”

Meng Yining looked at the bank notes in his hand, two were 500 taels, and two were 100 taels. "Take it all for me?"

"Well, you will keep all the money at home from now on." Xia Wenze got up and went to his room to give him a small box with a lock. "Here is some silver money saved." Xia Wenze opened the lock and showed him, A little embarrassed, he said: "I didn't save much money. Most of the money I earned from copying books on weekdays was used to buy paper and ink. This place is left over from the last time I sold wild things."

Meng Yining took it over and counted it, three taels of 540 taels, plus the 220 four taels on the table, the change was three taels of 760 six taels, plus the 27 taels in his hand, one thousand for selling blood coagulation grass 200 taels, the two of them had a total of 93 taels and [-] Wen.

"I will keep the 1000 taels, and you will keep the rest." Meng Yining put away the two 500 taels of bank notes.

"Put it all away." Xia Wenze pushed the small box towards him.

Meng Yining said: "Okay, but you have to put some money on hand, so you can't ask me for it every time you buy something." Meng Yining gave him three taels of silver, seeing what else he wanted to say, said: " Your right hand is fine, you must practice writing this year, paper and ink are expensive, although you can save money on buying books by copying books, there must be some books that need to be bought and studied at home." Meng Yining didn't say anything You don't want to copy books or something. In fact, in his opinion, copying books is not a waste of time, but it will strengthen one's memory.So even if Xia Wenze didn't lack the money for copying books now, he didn't tell him not to copy books.

Xia Wenze thought for a while, and accepted the money. This was Ning Geer's concern for him, and he could not refuse.

After a short break at noon, Meng Yining took a hoe, Xia Wenze carried a basket with seeds, and the two went to the field side by side.

In the basket are soaked wheat seeds, and there is also soaked corn at home, which is millet.For the three plots, he plans to grow wheat on the larger plot, millet and peanuts on the other two plots, and potatoes on the remaining plot.

However, the potatoes haven't germinated yet, and we have to wait a few days for them to germinate before they can be planted in the field.

There is still a little bit of an acre of land left to be plowed. Meng Yining is going to loosen the soil by himself. Xia Wenze is still a person with a useless right hand in the eyes of others.

"Brother Aze, I'll dig up the rest of the land. When the time comes, I'll dig a hole and you throw the seeds."

"Okay." Xia Wenze didn't argue about it, Ning Ge'er should do more now, and when his right hand gets better in the future, he will be able to do more.

Meng Yining was fast, and the rest of the land was turned over in a short while. After moving his wrist a little, he began to dig the hole.

Xia Wenze followed him to throw seeds. After four o'clock in the afternoon, all the wheat seeds were thrown away.

"You rest for a while, I'll go back and pick manure."

Meng Yining sat and rested on the ridge, and said, "Don't forget to dilute it first." He was worried that Xia Wenze would forget about it.Artificial manure cannot be poured directly, it must be diluted with water, otherwise the seeds will be burned.

"I know." Xia Wenze patted the mud on his trouser legs.

Zhang Xiaofulang got up and stretched his waist, saw the situation in Meng Yining's field, and said, "Brother Ning, you are not slow." It took more than a day for one mu of land.

"Grandpa Meng's house was well tended here." Meng Yining smiled, it's really not that he was lying, Meng Xue's father really took good care of this place, there were almost no roots in the field, they You only need to dig the ground, and you don’t need to pick up the roots and branches left in the ground from the previous season while turning the ground.

Moreover, the soil in the field is also very soft, just use a hoe to turn it over a little bit.

"Your home is better." Mrs. Zhang glanced enviously.The large piece of land at the entrance of the village here is not all high-quality land, just like Zhang Xiaofulang’s family went to a few pieces of land. Because of poor maintenance, the high-quality land has also become a middle-level land, and the grain grown is always better than that of the middle-class land. The first-class land on the side is almost there.

Meng Yining smiled and said nothing, what should he say, at that time the original father bought the first-class land, and Meng Xue's father has raised the land well in the past ten years, the first-class land is still the first-class land.

The land at the entrance of the village is all old land. It was not very good at first, but after careful maintenance, the land here has become high-quality land, but a few lands in the middle have become middle-grade land due to poor cultivation.

These few pieces of land of Mr. Zhang Xiaofulang's family are middle-level land, not because his family didn't raise the land well, but when they bought it from others, these few pieces of land were middle-level land.

Not long after, Xia Wenze came over carrying manure.

"You rest for a while, and I'll go water it." Meng Yining took the dung scoop, Xia Wenze didn't rest, but followed behind with a hoe to cover the soil.

Meng Yining glanced at it and didn't say any more. The two of them were fast, and when everything was done, it would be dark.

The people working in the field carried hoes, dung buckets, and baskets and walked back one after another, talking and laughing.

With a hoe on his shoulder and a basket in his hand, Meng Yining followed Xia Wenze, and he didn't think he was carrying a dung bucket.

"The bamboo basket should be finished." Meng Yining shook the basket in his hand. There was only one bamboo basket at home, and there was no place to put it in if he wanted to take something out of the space. . "Your clothes should be done too."

"I'll go and have a look tomorrow." Xia Wenze didn't feel annoyed at all when he heard these trifles. "When I came out, I soaked the vermicelli you mentioned. Didn't you say you wanted to eat that vermicelli?"

"It's ready?" Meng Yining's eyes sparkled, "We'll eat hot and sour noodles that night." There was instant hot and sour noodles in his space, but the amount in a bucket was too small, not enough to eat.

Thinking of the taste of hot and sour powder, Meng Yining's mouth started to salivate automatically.

"Okay." Although he didn't know what hot and sour powder was, Xia Wenze was also looking forward to seeing Brother Ning's expression.

"I didn't expect Ze boy and Ning Ge'er to get along well." On the other side, those who walked back from the field and watched the two talking and laughing couldn't help but glance at the two of them.

"Brother Ning and Kid Ze are not very difficult people to get along with." The other aunt took a look, "Especially Kid Ze, who doesn't agree with his temper."

"That's not true." said the uncle carrying a hoe beside him, "Who in the nearby towns and villages didn't want to tell Mrs. Ze about their sisters and brothers." Over there, the marriage was withdrawn, tsk, it's just like Xia Wu's daughter-in-law.

Several people around thought of a place to go, and couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

The uncle glanced back, "It's good to see the two of you like this."

When they got home, the two cleaned up their bodies first, especially Xia Wenze, who smelled bad.

"Go and take a bath first. It's not troublesome to make hot and sour powder. I can make it myself." Meng Yining scooped out all the hot water in the small pot.

"Okay." Xia Wenze frowned after smelling himself.

Meng Yining smiled, the smell of manure was indeed a bit strong.

He has all the seasonings needed for the hot and sour noodles in his space, and it didn't take Meng Yining much time to make the hot and sour noodles.

When Xia Wenze came out, he could smell the hot and sour smell, "Is this hot and sour powder?" There was a bowl of red and transparent things in the bowl on the table, the sour smell was pungent, but The mouth-watering taste comes from inside.

"Yes." Meng Yining handed him the chopsticks, "Try it quickly, I just tasted it, it tastes good." It's not as authentic as the monopoly one, but it's also delicious.

Xia Wenze took a sip, and the hot and sour taste instantly filled his mouth.

"How's the taste?" Although he has put chili in his cooking for the past two days, he didn't put much in it. He didn't put much chili in today's hot and sour powder, so Xia Wenze might not be used to it.

"It's delicious." Xia Wenze put another chopstick into his mouth.

Meng Yining prescribed a box of yogurt for him, "If you think it's too spicy, drink this to relieve the spiciness."
