Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Jinghan smiled secretly in her heart, but didn't show it on her face, "Brother Pengcheng, then you can read here. I see that the banquet outside is almost done. I think Uncle Yue will leave soon. When you leave, don't forget to Take the mushrooms with you." After Jinghan said that, she ran out.

Zixuan was younger than Wenhan, but he could also tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. He kept holding the book and said nothing. Seeing that Jinghan was about to leave, he stood up quickly and said, "Jinghan, wait a minute, will you take me to see if your mushroom house is ready?" He was leaving the place to let Wenhan and Pengcheng talk properly.

As soon as Zixuan and Jinghan came out of the house, Pengcheng spoke, "Wenhan, I know you and Jinghan don't want me to have more contact with Jingya, right?" After getting along for the past two years, they have talked about everything. I'm a friend, so Pengcheng said it bluntly.

The same goes for Wenhan, who didn't bend at all and nodded, "Yes, Jingya's temperament is too gentle and shy, which is not suitable for you." In fact, Pengcheng is the kind of person with an upright personality. If he is matched with Jingya's Gentleness is quite nice.

Pengcheng glared at Wenhan and said in a dumbfounded way, "You don't think we have a good temper. You dislike my family's good background and are afraid that Jingya will be wronged by my family. Right?" Pengcheng is not an ordinary person, so he can understand it. key. "What do you have to worry about? Look at my father, and then look at me. Do we have that extravagant and arrogant look? Besides, the Yue family is just an ordinary merchant's family. To be honest, it's worse than I won’t go to your house. After all, you still have an uncle who is a civil servant. Wenhan, don’t embarrass me and let me get in touch with Jingya more.” Pengcheng didn’t know what was going on, but when he recalled Jingya’s gentleness, The way it looks, I just want to indulge in it and never want to wake up.

Wenhan looked at Pengcheng's appearance and was a little confused, "Pengcheng, you just met Jingya for the first time today, how come you have such a deep affection for her? If you meet other women in the future, will you do the same? Like today? To be honest, I’m not worried.”

Pengcheng said with some distress, "I don't know what's wrong. Now all I can think about is Jingya's eyes and her gentle smile. Maybe I'm too frivolous, but will you give me some chances?" "

Wenhan helplessly patted Pengcheng on the shoulder, "To be honest, I really want to help you, but you have also seen Jinghan's attitude. If you can't pass Jinghan's test, there is probably no chance. That little girl, She won't change her mind easily, so you have to be mentally prepared." Wenhan decided to let it go. Anyway, Pengcheng could only come to Xu's house occasionally. He couldn't decide whether he could see Jingya or not. If he was too indifferent, he might end up doing bad things.

When Pengcheng thought of Jinghan, he really couldn't even smile bitterly. This Jinghan seems to be easy to talk to, but in fact she is very stubborn. It is really not easy to get her to change her mind. "Okay, as long as you don't embarrass me, it's fine. Take your time with the rest. Anyway, Jingya is not very old, so there is still time for everything."

Here Zixuan and Jinghan came to the mushroom room at the back. As soon as they entered the room, they saw so many mushrooms inside. There were some cute little mushrooms on it, and Zixuan focused all his attention on the mushrooms. "I didn't expect that mushrooms can really grow in the middle of winter. Jinghan, you are so smart to come up with such a method. Isn't it very hard to grow this?"

Jinghan said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's okay. As long as I think that these mushrooms can be turned into silver, I feel very happy and won't feel tired. By the way, brother Zixuan, I also I'll pick some for you to try." Jinghan said taking notes.

Zixuan stretched out his hand to stop Jinghan, "No, let's keep these and sell them. You worked so hard to get these, just keep them and exchange them for money." Zixuan's hand touched Jinghan's little hand, and Zixuan hurriedly He retracted his hand and put his hands behind his back.

Jinghan didn't pay attention to these. She just looked at the mushrooms in the house with joy, and imagined in her mind that it would be great if she could grow more mushrooms and sell them to the county or state city in the future.

The two of them watched in the mushroom room for a while, and then Zixuan was about to leave. "Jinghan, let's go to the front. The banquet should have ended long ago, and my father and I have to go back to the village. It's the Chinese New Year, and my husband has given us a holiday in advance."

"Hey, brother Zixuan, please come here often if you have time. We are in the town now, not far from our village, and there is Yumei. Let her come and play too. I haven't seen her for a long time. She died." Jinghan and Zixuan came out, closed the door, and walked to the front yard together.

As expected, the banquet in front of them dispersed, and the people who came to congratulate him began to leave one after another. Xingjia saw his son and waved to him. "Let's go, Zixuan."

Zixuan turned around and looked at Jinghan, "I'm leaving first. If you have time, go to the village to play. Yumei is bored at home alone." After Zixuan finished speaking, he left with his father.

Pengcheng also found his father over there. Yue Siyuan drank a lot today and his face was bright red. Yue Siyuan felt a little strange when he saw a package of things in his son's hand. "Pengcheng, what are you holding in your hand?" Yue Siyuan asked after the father and son said goodbye to Zhixin and the others and left the Xu family.

"It's mushrooms. I tasted the mushrooms at the banquet and asked Jinghan to pick them for me." Pengcheng answered. The Xu family was not far from the Yue family, so the father and son walked back slowly.

"You, sometimes, you still don't think enough. These mushrooms are nothing in our family, but for Jinghan, they can sell for at least a hundred coins. She is a little girl, and she gets these mushrooms from dawn to dusk. Are you just asking for things from others?" Yue Siyuan shook his head. The family has never been short of Pengcheng's expenses, so Pengcheng has no idea how hard it is to get the money.

When Pengcheng heard what his father said, he regretted a little, "Dad, I never thought about this." Although he said he would bring delicious food to Jinghan, he really didn't think about the price of these mushrooms. For me, a hundred dollars is not even a small thing, but for Jinghan?

"That's all, you should think more about this in the future. Next time you come over, bring some food or things to play for Jinghan and the others. It doesn't need to be too expensive, as long as it's what you want." Yue Siyuan patted Pengcheng on the shoulder. , my son has never experienced hardship from birth to growing up, so he may not understand it even if he talks about it. "Pengcheng, what do you think of this girl Jinghan?" Yue Siyuan wanted to know what his son was thinking.

After all, Pengcheng was older, so he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Dad, Jinghan is still a child, a little girl, too young. On the contrary," Pengcheng suddenly stopped at this point and did not continue. As he continued to speak, he was pondering what his father meant.

"What the hell, who else is in the Xu family?" Zhizi Mo Ruofu, as soon as his son stopped, Yue Siyuan looked back at his son and found a touch of red on his face. These boys didn't drink, so why are their faces so red? "Oh, by the way, I heard that the Xu family has an eldest daughter. Have you met her?"

When asked, Pengcheng's face turned even redder, and Yue Siyuan understood immediately. "Are you interested in this family? This is easy to handle. Daddy, tell your Uncle Xu. Today we also talked about getting married, but I didn't expect you to be interested first." Yue Siyuan didn't expect that his son would actually I really like the daughter of the Xu family, but I don’t know what the eldest daughter of the Xu family is like? Maybe I can ask my wife to drop by when she has time.

Pengcheng hesitated and said, "Dad, why don't you raise the commission first? Today Wenhan and Jinghan don't agree with me and Jingya. So I want them to agree with me first. Besides, this is my first time today. Seeing Jingya, it would be too rude to mention it like this." Pengcheng was pleased with his father's attitude. It turned out that his father did not look down on the Xu family. In this case, there would be much less resistance. In addition, I am also afraid that my father will mention it. What if he refuses? He hesitated for a moment.

"Okay, let's put this aside for the time being. You are only sixteen, so it is a little early for you to get married. If you are serious about it, get along well with Wenhan and the others. Over time, you will see people's hearts. I guess the Xu family is worried, maybe It's their family's financial situation, so it's better to wait for a while. From my point of view, the Xu family will become a wealthy family in the town in a few years." Yue Siyuan patted his son on the shoulder, feeling somewhat relieved. My son has finally grown up and has someone he likes, which is great. The father and son walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the door of the house.

Naturally, the Xu family here didn't know about the father-in-law and his son, so all the congratulatory guests were sent away. Zhixin also sent away the hired trumpeters and coachmen. In addition to the amount of money agreed upon at the time, each of them was given an additional fifty cash red envelope, as well as melon seeds and candies. He also gave them a bag of melon seeds and candies. . These people left happily.

There are still these helping wives at home, and of course my own family members haven’t eaten yet, so several more tables have been opened. Invite all the helpers and the cooks to the table, and everyone has a good meal.

After these people had finished their meal, Zhixin paid the cooks their wages, as well as a big red envelope for each person, a bag of melon seeds and candies, and a bag of leftover dishes from the banquet. These dishes were not leftovers after they were served on the table, but they were prepared so much that they were never served. In this era, people's stomachs are very empty, and there is absolutely no food left on the table. The cooks were all so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. They all said that they had never met such a good chef. They thanked them repeatedly and left.

Xue and Zhu also wrapped some leftovers and gave some to one of the helpers to take back. Some people refused, so Mr. Xue forced it on her. "Take it, go back and let the children at home have a taste. You guys have been busy for two days, and the family can't even take care of it."
