Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Ziwen came back when the old man was about to have fever. After returning home, Ziwen couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears without seeing the amiable old man.

Xingjia and Zixuan both came over to persuade him, and he felt better now. "It just so happens that you are back. Grandpa will burn Sanqi the day after tomorrow, so we should prepare things." Zixuan pulled Ziwen up, and then the father and son went to prepare things.

When Mrs. He saw her youngest son's appearance, she felt very distressed, "Oh, my second brother has become thinner and darker. How can the life in this military camp be so easy? He is no longer young, and I don't see him wanting to get married. , I really don’t know what to think. It would be better if there was someone who knows how to deal with coldness and warmth." He sighed worried about his younger son.

"Mom, Ziwen is only twenty, not too old. Why are you so anxious? Ziwen was made a marquis at the age of twenty. If he wants to marry a wife, those girls will not be allowed to line up. He chooses to go? Just don’t be fooled by it then. Mother, don’t worry about it. I’m afraid we won’t be able to decide which day the emperor will marry the princess. Here." Jinghan hugged Qingning and laughed.

"No, I don't want to get some princess to come back as my daughter-in-law. She is worth a lot of money. When she comes to our house, do you think I should salute her, or should she salute me? That's not okay. , I will feel uncomfortable all over. No, I have to take the time to talk to Ziwen, but don't bring a princess back." Hearing this, he immediately shook his head.

The little lotus next to her spoke up, "Grandma, you said you won't let your uncle marry a princess or a princess, but isn't my mother also a princess?"

The girls next to me couldn't help but be happy after hearing this. Even He and Jinghan laughed when they heard it. "You are a ghost, you are more ghost than your mother. Although your mother is a princess, grandma has watched her grow up since she was a child. Grandma knows best about temperament and temperament, so grandma gets along with your mother. "That's very good. If another princess comes and Grandma doesn't know her, wouldn't Grandma feel uncomfortable if she pretends to be a princess?" He held Hehua in his arms and explained to her.

He Hua nodded as if she understood, "Oh, so that's what happened."

He looked at Jinghan and said, "Don't tell me, this little lotus really has the shadow of you in the past, with ghosts and ghosts. Xiaojuan, this child, is living a good life now. By the way, lotus is with you. It's best not to let Xiaojuan's mother know about this, otherwise Xiaojuan's mother-in-law might find out about it. Although we are not afraid of her, Xiaojuan has managed to live a good life with great difficulty. We can't let them mess with it in a good day. I think you might as well change the name of Lotus and just raise it as our child."

Jinghan thought about it for a moment and thought it would be okay. Hehua just knew in her heart who her biological mother was. Furthermore, lotus is not bad as a nickname, but as a serious name, it would be a little bit earthy. This child is smart and smart, and he may be a figure in the future. "Then just like Qing Ning, how about Qing He?"

Mrs. He nodded, "Okay, this is a good name. Let's call you Qinghe from now on." Mrs. He lowered his head and looked at the little lotus, "Little girl, how about calling you Qinghe from now on?"

Qinghe nodded, "Okay, I like this name." So, the little lotus will be called Qinghe from now on.

While they were talking, Qingyuan and Qingyao ran back from the front. Qingyuan also carried a bunch of fish in his hand, "Mom, look, uncle Changxing just took us to catch fish."

Jinghan smiled, took out a handkerchief and wiped the faces of Qingyuan and Qingyao, "Okay, Qingyuan and Qingyao are both very capable. Let's have fish soup for lunch?"

Children love to play, but Jinghan never cares. Wasn't this the case when you were a child? Going up mountains and down rivers all day long. There is no reason now to have to control children and not let them go out to play. As long as there is someone around to follow you, it will be fine if nothing happens.

Qingyuan was praised by his mother, and his little face was full of smiles, "Mom, I heard that there is a big river next to the mountain where my grandpa lives, and the fish there are big. Can we go and have a look? I want to know. "Compared with the fish soaked in the moon, which one is bigger?" Qingyuan has seen the fish soaked in the moon, so he has to look at the fish in the river.

"Okay, let's go to the mountains after a while." Jinghan also wanted to go to the mountains, so she agreed to take them there.

"Jinghan, aren't you going back to the capital?" He asked.

"I won't be coming back for the time being. Zixuan has already written to the court, saying that he will stay at home for at least a year. Firstly, it is to honor my grandfather, and secondly, we are exhausted mentally and physically during these years in Xizhou and want to take a good rest. ." Jinghan told Zixuan's decision.

"That's fine. You've been out all these years, and you're really tired. Okay, let's just stay at home and go see wherever we like. It's time to relax and unwind." Mrs. He wished that her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson The granddaughter's are all at home. Days like this were what they were looking forward to day and night.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, the old man’s Wuqi had been burned. The imperial court issued a decree allowing Zixuan to recuperate at home. But the northwest border was inaccessible, and Ziwen had to go and garrison there. So Ziwen accepted the imperial edict and took the people away.

It was already early August, and seeing that it was the busiest time of the year, Jinghan discussed with her parents-in-law that they should go back to the town before the autumn harvest. When they came back this time, they didn't have a chance to go back to their parents' home to visit.

The Xingjia couple naturally agreed. They had just left Wuqi and could visit relatives. So Zixuan and his wife took their children and returned to the town.

Zhixin is not at home, only Mr. Xue is at home with the old couple. The weather was nice at this time, and the old couple were sunbathing outside. When the old couple saw Zixuan and his wife coming back with their children, they were so happy, "Oh, I've been looking forward to this every day, so I guess you will be back soon. Hurry up and sit in the house." As soon as Mr. Xue saw her daughter My son-in-law and I were also very happy.

"Qingyuan, Qingyuan, why don't you call someone?" Jinghan looked back at her sons.

"Grandma, grandma, grandma." The little guy had a sweet mouth and immediately gathered around the old couple, chattering.

The old man hugged Qingyuan, the old lady hugged Qingyao, and even little Qingning opened her little hands, insisting that Xue should hug her. Mrs. Xue quickly took Qingning, "We Qingning also know how to kiss grandma, right? Jinghan, this girl Qingning is a bit thin. Is it because she was weaned too early?" Ms. Xue looked at her granddaughter's face. , not as fat as Qingyuan and the others when they were young.

"Well, it was less than six months old at that time, so I sent her back. It was indeed weaned too early. However, the family also raised goats and gave her goat milk, but the child was not too fat." Jinghan also felt very guilty about Qingning. Under the circumstances at that time, she really didn't dare to leave her in Xizhou.

"It's up to you whether the child is good or not. When you were little, you were not too fat. You had been breastfeeding for a year at that time, and you were not chubby at all. You are still thin, but you are very firm. You are less than a year old. On your birthday, you can run all over the place. At that time, your mother said, you will be a burdened person for the rest of your life. "Looking at Qing Ning, Xue remembered what her daughter was like back then. Ning's appearance can be compared to Jinghan's 90%.

Jinghan smiled, "What's wrong? Look at me, don't I have to worry about everything now?"

Mrs. Xue looked at the little girl next to Jinghan. She was seven or eight years old and very beautiful. "Whose girl is this? She doesn't look like the girl you bought?"

"Mom, that's Xiaojuan's child. I adopted her as my adopted daughter. She is with me now." Jinghan explained. "Qinghe, come and meet grandma."

Qinghe stepped forward and bowed to Yingying, "Qinghe has met my great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and grandma." That look was no worse than that of other ladies.

The old lady quickly pulled Qing He over and looked at her carefully, "This child is really good-looking. Not to mention, Xiaojuan was also handsome back then. However, no matter how I looked at it, this child's features were similar to Jing's. He looks a bit similar. If he says he is our child, some people will believe him."

"Grandma, do you think it's a bit similar? When I saw her, I felt friendly, and then I adopted her as my daughter-in-law. You don't know, this child was five or six years old at that time, just like a He's about three years old. He looks so pitiful." Jinghan feels heartbroken whenever she thinks of Xiao Qinghe's appearance.

"Okay, it's her good fortune that you can take her with you. I think this child is a blessing and will have a great future. Xiaojuan will have good days ahead." The old lady looked at it clearly. Hey, the more I look at it, the more I like it. "Girl, you can stay with my great-grandma these days, okay?"

Qinghe's grandma has not loved her since she was a child, and often beat and scolded her, making her work without giving her food to eat. Grandma is also cruel and has always been indifferent to their mother and daughter. Even when Xiaojuan brought Qinghe back to her parents' home, she never stayed there. Xiaojuan's mother always chases them away anxiously, for fear of eating her food at home. Qinghe has never been loved by her elders since she was a child. Now not only does He like her, but Xue and Chen also love her. In Qinghe's little heart, these people have become her closest relatives.

"Okay, Qinghe likes Grandma Tai. Qinghe is willing to accompany Grandma Tailao. Grandma, Qinghe will give you a pat on the back." As she said that, the little girl raised her two small fists and beat Mrs. Chen on the back. With.

Qingyuan and Qingyao on the side saw it, and they both raised their fists and ran to beat the old man on the back. For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with soft children's voices and cheerful laughter floating everywhere.
