The Reborn Wife is Farming

Several children were very interested in the little doll. After comparing the two children for a long time, they came to the conclusion, "The younger sister is no different from the younger brother. They are both red and wrinkled, and they don't look good at all."

Xiao An nodded approvingly, "It's the same as my younger brother when he was a child."

So the four children dispersed after a while, but Xiaoxiong and Xiaofu stayed behind.

Xiaoxiong thinks that as the eldest brother, he should take care of his younger siblings, but Xiaofu is really interested.

It was the first time he saw children younger than him lying on the edge of the cradle and carefully stretching out his fingers to touch them.

Mu Yangling drank a bowl of soup and sighed, "These two can only play with Xiaofu from now on."

Xiao Xia laughed and said: "Xiao An and the others dislike them for being small, and they are usually impatient with Xiao Fu. The kitchen just fried chestnuts a while ago, and I asked them to take Xiao Fu to play. Xiao An got impatient, so she peeled a handful of chestnuts for Xiao Fu. Eat, build a house with Hutou and the others to play, fortunately there is a maid and woman watching, otherwise a handful of chestnuts will not choke and lose your appetite."

"Children like to play with older children, but Xiaofu likes to be younger than himself."

Xiao Xia looked at his youngest son, shook his head and smiled, "It's because his brothers didn't take him to play, and he usually stumbles and runs behind their buttocks, but he is left behind five times out of ten, I feel so pitiful tight."

Mu Yangling also couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene where Xiaofu was running around behind the four brothers' buttocks.

With younger brothers and sisters, Xiaofu seems to have found a new toy, and he no longer runs behind his brothers. Sometimes Xiaoan comes to take him out to play, but Xiaofu hugs the bedpost and does not let go, which makes Mu Yangling and Xiaoxia's big brother laugh it out.

Xiao An couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, feeling that his younger brother didn't play with him anymore.

When the two children were full moon, they became whiter and tenderer, and their eyes rolled around, and Xiao Fu stopped going out with Xiao An and the others.

Mu Yangling said that they didn't bring his younger brother to play, and lost his brother's heart, Hutou found a reason and said: "It's cold outside, brother Xiaofu is afraid of the cold and doesn't want to go out."

It is now November, the cold wind is howling in Guangdong, and the mountains in the north are covered with heavy snow. Mu Yangling looked outside and saw the north wind blowing loudly, so he worried: "I sent it to your grandfather's family." I don’t know if the New Year’s Ceremony has arrived.”

Qi Haoran opened the curtain against the cold wind and came in. He stomped his feet at the door, took off his coat and handed it to the servants, and warmed up the fire again. He felt that the cold on his body was almost gone before entering the inner room. Hearing this, he said: "It's almost time, even if the snow in the north is heavy, it will be almost a month."

As soon as the two children were born, Qi Haoran excitedly reported to the capital and Xingzhou Mansion, knowing that winter was coming and the road to the north would be difficult, so he simply sent the New Year's gift together, and now the time is coming soon.

"This year is very cold. There are reports of disasters in the North and Northwest. The imperial court is already preparing disaster relief. My father-in-law is the commander in chief of the North. He has to lead people to help the local government clear the heavy snow and build wooden houses. He must be busy. If you want to receive Their letter will probably have to wait until the Chinese New Year." Qi Haoran comforted her and said, "If you feel homesick, I will write another letter and ask the post station to send it to the official route..."

"No," Mu Yangling stopped him, "I don't have anything important to say to them, I just added a child and want to report to them, so let's wait later."

Mu Yangling knows the post station system in this world. It is delivered one by one by people on horseback. Ordinary post stations are fine, even though it is cold, windy and hot. In the last break, official posts, especially urgent official documents, are all for speed and do not guarantee human life. Every year, several servants die in each post station.

It's not an important letter, there is no need to use these resources, and it will kill people for nothing.

Qi Haoran was vaguely aware of her concerns, so he shook her hand.

Mu Yangling looked at a group of children sitting on the blankets and playing, and sighed, "It's been a few years since the weather went well, and the weather started to turn bad again. I don't know what the next year will be like."

Qi Haoran is very confident, "Fortunately, the national treasury is full now, disaster relief is not a problem, and there are high-yield grains, no matter how bad it is, it will not go bad. This year's tariffs are a lot better. I went to the Shibo Department for a visit today. Mr. Liu said that this year's tariffs may account for 20% of the national treasury, which is comparable to the salt tax. In addition to the grain tax and supplementary tax received this year, the national treasury is at least 30% richer than in previous years..."

Although Qi Haoran didn't say it clearly, his expression showed that although there were natural disasters this winter, he would not be very sad.

"Two months earlier, Qin Tianjian said that this year is afraid of heavy snow, government offices everywhere have made preparations, and the houses in the slums have been reinforced. Didn't your newspaper spread the news widely? Everyone is prepared. , " Qi Haoran saw that Mu Yangling was always frowning, so he comforted her: "Father-in-law must have made preparations, maybe next month we will receive the letter from Yue's family on time."

But in fact, the letter from Mu's family arrived within two days. Along with the letter, there were three carts of things that they had prepared for the newborn and the little bear.

The people who escorted the things were servants of the Mu family and disabled soldiers retired from the army. The things were sent in September, but they had been on the road for two months because the roads in the Northland were too difficult to walk, and they were almost blocked. One month, and on the way, they also encountered a convoy of New Year gifts from the palace. It is said that they are still stuck on the road.

Liu Wu drank a bowl of hot soup, and sat on a stool awkwardly and said to Mu Yangling, "This year, the snow was too heavy. Do you still remember the heavy snow that year when we escaped from the village? It was worse than that, Jiu In the first ten days of the month, the day before was fine, but the sky was cloudy, and there was a bit of wind in the evening. In the middle of the night, the snow fell with a slap, just like someone sprinkled chicken feathers in the sky. We covered a quilt and it was frozen alive. When I woke up, the kang at home was turned on, and there was enough firewood. Everyone lived a good life these years, and every family had a few quilts, so that they would not freeze to death. After investigation, six frozen corpses were found..."

Liu Wu is from the Liu family, so Mu Yangling would have called him uncle, but the blood relationship has faded, because he was brought home by Mu Shi to help the Mu family manage the farm, this time it was difficult on the road Let's go, Mu Shi didn't have anyone available to send him here.

Liu Wu was a little nervous towards Mu Yangling. After all, he hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. The last time I saw Mu Yangling, she was a little girl who often carried prey to Uncle Liu's house, but now she is a noble princess.

Mu Yangling didn't expect the snow disaster in the Northland to be so serious, and she felt a little uneasy. She asked, "We are all like this, so isn't the golden man's side even worse?"

"No, I heard that countless cattle and sheep froze to death, and many of them fled to Daqi if they couldn't survive. This time, Dajin didn't stop him, and let the refugees come over."
