Farming and Bend the National Husband

On the morning of the 29th of the new year, the last batch of vegetables for this year was sent away, and Xia Jiasheng's farm work was finished.

I checked it in the greenhouse, straightened some loose bamboo piles, and tapped them firmly with a hoe.He leveled the open space again, planted vegetable seedlings, came out and closed the door.

After freeing up, Xia Jiusheng sat in the living room with Xia's parents and calculated the income from growing vegetables in the second half of the year, and it turned out to be more than 60 yuan.

This number was unimaginable in previous years, but next year we will develop Da’ao, if this money is used for investment, I’m afraid it’s not enough to treat it as chopped green onions. Fortunately, Uncle Duan helped me and contacted the bank, who also agreed Loan to them, how much and how?We have to discuss it according to the specific plan made by Nie Hongjun.

Xia Jiusheng has authorized all this matter to Wen Yue. Wen Yue is a professional who has managed such a big company. He must have more experience than himself in handling this kind of matter.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and many things have to be done today, and tomorrow I can make some food with peace of mind and have a relaxing New Year.

There seemed to be a lot of people coming to Xia Jiusheng's house today.

In the morning, my second cousin Zhu Binyu and his cousin drove over in a pickup truck and unloaded two potted plants full of kumquats.

The kumquat trees are more than one meter high, and the branches are covered with dense orange-yellow fruits, which look very festive.

Xia Jiusheng and his father put them on both sides of the door, and went to find a large stack of red envelopes, and stuck them on the kumquat tree with transparent tape like Cantonese people.

An An and Ah Fu excitedly went to touch the red envelope, but when they saw it was empty, they curled their lips in disgust.

Seeing this, Xia Jiusheng went to the room to find a bunch of one-yuan coins, and asked An An and Ah Fu to stuff one into each red envelope. They immediately became excited and happily did it.

Not long after the second cousin and sister-in-law left, my cousin Chen Rong also came by on a battery car.

She brought two pots of daffodils to Xia Jiusheng's family. The pots were antique blue-and-white porcelain pots, more than 20 centimeters in size, with more than ten flower stems on them, so the leaves and flowers were densely packed and very beautiful.

Such a large pot of flowers, delivered by a battery car without breaking the leaves and stems, must have suffered a lot along the way.

Mother Xia greeted her and picked up a pot of flowers, carried them into the house, and put them on the coffee table in the living room.Women prefer to use this kind of beautiful flowers to decorate the room, and they are very touched by the thoughtfulness of their niece.

Last time because of her son's quarrel with her niece, Xia's mother felt a little guilty for her, so she went to the room to find a cashmere scarf given by Zhao Zezhong, and hung it around her neck.

Seeing that her aunt was not angry with her anymore, Chen Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the cashmere scarf in her hand had not been removed, she recognized the famous symbol of a warrior on a horse and knew it was very valuable, so she took the scarf off Come down and refuse to accept.

Mother Xia grabbed her and hung it around her niece's neck forcefully.

"Thank you, auntie." Seeing that she couldn't resist, Chen Rong had no choice but to wear it coyly.

This kind of dark plaid scarf is indeed very beautiful and very skin-friendly.Chen Rong has never really come into contact with this high-end brand. Like other students, she bought a copy board of the same style from the Internet for 30 yuan at most.

"Thank you, don't leave at noon, just eat here." Mother Xia gave her a look and ordered.

"Yeah." Chen Rong nodded, with a relieved smile on his face.

To the surprise of Xia Jiusheng's family, his cousin and brother-in-law also came over and brought several boxes of seafood.

Look at the sign outside, one box is South American prawns, the other box is wild hairtail, and the other box is miscellaneous gift bags, including small yellow croaker, pomfret, squid, etc. It is estimated that they are not cheap.

The uncle’s family is relatively different among relatives. Usually when everyone goes to her house as a guest, they are also very hospitable and entertain guests with delicious food. But when they usually go to other houses as guests, they usually leave after eating. Socialize with unfamiliar guests, and keep a distance from these brothers and sisters.

As for the gift boxes, they are the same as ordinary people in rural areas. There are only two bottles of Nuerhong and a box of health care products. I never give a little bit of value as a gift because my family is better off, let alone seafood.

Sending so few boxes of seafood over this year can be regarded as breaking their habit.

Xia Jiusheng welcomed the two into the house, entertained them to drink tea and eat fruits, and naturally handed over the seafood to Xia's mother.Mother Xia unpacked the cardboard box, sorted it and put it in the refrigerator to cool down.Now there is a large refrigerator with double doors at home, no matter how many things can be stored.

Zhu Yuqing was a little surprised when she saw her cousin was there, and was surprised to see that the scarf around her neck turned out to be that big brand.

She knows the conditions of the second aunt's house, she can only afford fake ones, and now this one is genuine no matter how you look at it, so there is only one possibility, it was just given to her by her aunt.

Seeing the look in her niece's eyes, Mother Xia knew that she had seen it. She sighed resignedly, went upstairs to search, took a G brand scarf down, and wrapped it around Zhu Yuqing's neck with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhu Yuqing knew the goods. When she saw this scarf, it cost at least four or five thousand. No matter how rich she was, she was reluctant to buy it.

"Why are you polite?" Mother Xia felt much more at ease when she saw that her niece was actually getting close to her.

The eldest brother's family didn't have much contact with my family before, and the relationship has always been separated by a layer of paper. Although it is very thin, it is always indestructible.

Xia's mother used to always feel uncomfortable about this, so she was polite to this niece, and she was always unable to get close.Unlike Chen Rong, she doesn't have to care about these things, she can say what she wants, and she can scold whenever she wants. After all, she is more like her junior and more intimate.

Xia Jiusheng saw that Xia's mother had given away the two scarves that Zhao Zezhong had given her. Although she understood her feelings, she felt very awkward.

never mind.Xia Jiusheng took a few deep breaths, put the matter behind him, and chatted with them.

※※※

Near noon, Duan Wei and his wife also came.

Behind them came a pick-up truck with a few pots of flowers and green plants on it. Uncle Duan probably guessed that his home is full of everything now, so although it is not practical to send some, it can decorate the home. Get something more youthful.

Xia Jiusheng welcomed Uncle Duan into the house and made some tea. Seeing that there was another guest at home, his cousin and Chen Rong stood up quickly and awkwardly stood aside.

Xia Jiusheng introduced his cousin and cousin to Uncle Duan, and chatted casually with him.

Duan Wei has already regarded Xia Jiusheng as his nephew, and he is very relaxed at his house. Looking at the pastry served by Xia Jiusheng, it is very unique, and he is not polite. He pokes a piece with a toothpick and puts it in his mouth.

Seeing that Duan Wei is not difficult to get along with, the two cousins, Zhu Yuqing and Chen Rong, also relaxed.

In the yard outside, Mrs. Duan instructed the delivery workers to carry down the flowers and green plants.

The most beautiful one is a pot of red Phalaenopsis, a very big pot, more than half a meter high.The driver and the workers carried the flowers into the living room and put them on the low table next to the sofa.

The pot of anthurium is also fiery red and warm. Putting it in the main room, I feel that the taste of the year is stronger.

The pot of tulips is also very beautiful, probably transplanted, so there are two colors, red and yellow flowers mixed together, placed in the room, it feels like an old house, and it suddenly becomes elegant and refined.

The eight-storey pot of lucky bamboo was originally the most common, but it was made into such a shape by the store, and it has the meaning of rising every step of the way, and it looks extraordinary.

The last two pots are longevity flowers, one red and one yellow, and the flowers bloom very brightly.

The worker put down his things and drove away. At this moment, Mrs. Duan entered the house with Xia Jiusheng's family and sat in the living room.

An An and Ah Fu went outside to play, and they didn't come back until noon. When they saw guests at home, they didn't recognize them. They found a seat and sat together.

"Ah Fu, come over to Mom." Mrs. Duan saw her son playing wild outside, and now her forehead was sweating.Feeling happy, he raised his voice and waved to his son.

"Mom." Ah Fu walked over and leaned on his mother. He has been at the master's house for a long time, and some living habits of the master and An An have also affected him.

"Let's go home with my parents today, it's the Chinese New Year." Gently wiped the sweat off his son's forehead with a tissue.Mrs. Duan coaxed her son carefully, fearing that her son would not like it.

Seeing that his face was tanned, but he looked healthier, he felt more and more that letting his son worship Xia Jiusheng as his teacher was the most correct decision in his life.

"Okay." Although he was reluctant to part with Master and An An, he also understood the truth that he wanted to go home for the New Year. "After the new year, I will come to the master's house again."

"Yeah. Come back after the new year." Mrs. Duan smiled and kissed her son on the face when she saw her son agreeing so simply. "But now that you are in good health, you can't play like this all the time. You have to go to school."

"Then I'll go study with An An." A Fu looked up at his mother and begged.

"Here, you ask your father." Mrs. Duan thought for a while, but did not directly agree.

"You should ask your master?" Duan Wei gave his son a look. "If you go to school here, your master is making you breakfast every day and sending you to school. He is the one who is in trouble."

"Master—" Ah Fu turned to look at Xia Jiusheng, and shouted flatteringly.

"Come if you want. I don't mind. Anyway, An'an also has to go to school. It doesn't make much difference if you have one more." Xia Jiusheng agreed indifferently. "But this is a rural area, and the quality of education is definitely not as good as in Hangzhou. Uncle Duan just doesn't care."

"It's good that Ah Fu can go to school happily, and I don't care about grades." Duan Wei said openly.

He didn't say what was in his heart, as long as his son was with Xia Jiusheng, would he have no future in the future?As for the quality of education, what is the use, even if you go abroad?Can someone like Xia Jiusheng be found as a teacher?

※※※

After lunch, Duan Wei and his wife took Ah Fu away, and his cousin and his cousin also went back.

The family had just cleaned up the house when Zhao Zezhong's driver in Yucheng brought some things over.

"This little Zhao, you have already told him everything, why did you still send something?" Xia's mother was nagging, but her hands were not slow, and she opened the tightly packed cardboard box.

To their surprise, there were two Tang suits on the top. The color was old dark red, printed with fine retro patterns, and the collars and corners of the clothes were also rusted with fine gold edges, which looked luxurious and low-key.

Mother Xia picked it up curiously, the clothes were lighter and softer than she imagined.But when you hold it in your hand, there is an indescribable sense of luxury.

"What material is this made of?" Everyone in the room was surprised. It must not be silk. Silk does not have such a texture, and it cannot be brocade. The brocade section is not so delicate.It is even more impossible to use other nylon or something.

"Could it be Xiangyun yarn?" Wen Yue remembered watching a documentary before, which introduced this ancient luxury fabric in Foshan and Shunde. It is said that the real Xiangyun yarn can no longer be measured by money.

Looking at the texture and texture of this fabric, it is a bit similar.

"What is Xiang Yun Sha?" Mama Xia asked suspiciously.

"I can't tell. Anyway, it's a very rare fabric, which is said to be called soft gold." Wen Yue said vaguely.

"Soft gold?" Xia's mother originally wanted to try it on immediately, but she shrank her hands when she heard this.

I took it to a bright place by the window and looked at the clothes carefully, and the more I looked at them, the more beautiful I felt.

She didn't know anything else, but Jin Jin did. "Then this fluffy dress, isn't it going to cost tens of thousands?"

"It's not a matter of money. The main reason is that this material is very rare, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money. It is said that there are very few authentic Xiangyun gauze." Wen Yue added.

"Xiao Zhao, isn't it a joke to send such nice clothes to me and Yang Yang's father?" Mama Xia refolded the clothes and put them aside. "I don't have the guts to wear this. If I get scratched or scratched, wouldn't my heart ache?"

"Godmother, you're overthinking." Wen Yue laughed when Mother Xia said it. "Which thing is cheap on your body now? Isn't it better to dress well, and I don't see you hiding it in the cabinet as a family heirloom?"

"Stinky boy, even your godmother dares to make fun of you." Mama Xia slapped Wen Yue on the head and scolded with a smile.

"Whether it's worth it or not, I'll give it to you to wear." Xia Jiusheng guessed that it was Zhao's father and the others who made their own clothes, and they also made one for his parents by the way. Spend money to make Tang suits for Xia's father and Xia's mother.

"Then I'll give it a try?" Mama Xia said nicely, she picked up the clothes involuntarily, shook them off and took a closer look.

Needless to say, the clothes are just like this, at first they just thought they were made of good material and beautifully made, but now that Wen Yueyi explained it, they felt that it was more gorgeous and exquisite, not worse than the phoenix robe worn by the empress before.Mother Xia liked it more and more. She took off her coat and put it on over the woolen sweater.

"It's really indescribably beautiful." Everyone felt this way when they saw her.

"Jianjun, why don't you try wearing it?" Xia's mother was overjoyed by their praise, and persuaded Xia's father.

Father Xia didn't think much about it, he took off his coat generously, and put it on, he only felt that the clothes were light, soft and warm, and he really didn't want to take them off after putting them on.

"Dad, Mom, you are really rich in this dress." An An said with a smile.

Now that everyone agreed, Mother Xia couldn't bear to complain about Xiao Zhao, so she changed the clothes, held them carefully in her hands, and went upstairs to put them away until the New Year.

※※※

Here in Yucheng, they pay attention to what to eat on New Year's Eve and what to wear on New Year's Day.

When it was New Year's Eve, Xia Jiusheng's family left other things behind and concentrated on preparing delicious food.Although their house is full of delicious food every day.

I killed another chicken in the morning and prepared to make soup in the afternoon, soaked dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and black fungus, and prepared some fresh vegetables and bean products.

The fish must be killed now, and the ancestors are asked to use it at night.

An An was a little bored because Ah Fu came home, so Xia Jiusheng accompanied him to a small shop and bought some small fireworks such as firework sticks, squirrels, and butterfly cannons for him to play with.Wen Yue probably didn't play it when she was a child, but now she took a few and put them away. Xia Jiusheng asked Wen Yue to play with An An, so that An An wouldn't go crazy and set the firewood on fire.

Near noon, Xia's mother received a call from her younger sister.

"Aifen, what's the matter?" Mama Xia sometimes couldn't help but get angry with this little girl. It's a good thing to have a good temper, but her temperament is too soft, and no one takes her seriously at home.

"Sister, did Xiao Yan come to your house?" Zhu Aifen's voice was panting.

"Why did you come to my house? You're already in your thirties?" Mama Xia said angrily.

Suddenly panicked, the little girl asked this question at this time, could it be that something happened to Xiaoyan?

"Xiao Yan is gone?" Zhu Aifen's voice was indescribably tired.

"Have you looked for it?" Mama Xia also became nervous. "Did you call your eldest brother, second brother and second sister's house?"

"I went to ask, but I'm not here. Your home is the farthest, so I came to ask last." Zhu Aifen seemed to have exhausted all her strength. "Sister, Yangyang has a car, ask him to help me find it, I ran a few places, and now I can't walk—"

"Okay, okay, I'll ask him to look for it right away." Mother Xia also became worried when she heard that the little girl looked weak. "Don't worry, Xiao Yan is not young anymore, so nothing will happen to her."

Xia Jiusheng heard it from the side, and saw his mother beckoning to him while making a phone call. He also became anxious and hurried to the drawer to get the key, ready to go out to find someone.

Xia's mother hung up the phone, saw her son had reached the entrance of the yard, chased her out and shouted: "Yangyang, your car is going the old way, if Xiao Yan comes, she will definitely take the shortcut, luckily I can meet—"

"Got it, Mom." Xia Jiusheng said as he walked out.

After driving the car, Xia Jiusheng headed towards Shengzhou.

When Xia Jiusheng's family went to grandma's house when they were young, they had to cross the stream in front of the village, climb over the low hill, and then go to the other side of the mountain. There is still a stream at the foot of the hill, but it is already the boundary of Shengzhou.Then continue to move forward and climb several mountains before arriving at the village where my grandmother's house is located.

That village is almost at the top of the mountain, which is the second highest mountain in Shengzhou.

In the past, it was all mountain roads, walking on two feet, and only half way by bicycle, so I had to leave it at the house of an acquaintance in the village at the foot of the mountain, and it was very inconvenient to have to come back when I came back.Now that the road is open, the road is easy to walk.However, bypassing the Three Realms, the newly built road is wider and more convenient, so this road is mostly for walking between a few nearby villagers. If the road is far away, they would rather detour over there.

Entering the boundary of Shengzhou, this road has not been walked for several years, and now it looks more and more narrow.

Cautiously driving a few miles forward, Xia Jiusheng thought about how his cousin would go if she came to his house.

Suddenly, I saw a person sitting on a hillside in front of me, who looked a bit like my cousin from the back.

Afraid of missing it, Xia Jiusheng stopped the car and climbed up the slope.

Walking closer, looking at the back, I was sure it was her.

I saw my cousin sitting on a piece of bluestone, lying down on my knees, the wind blew her hair into a mess, and I couldn't see her emotions from behind.Xia Jiusheng just felt that she was very lonely and helpless.

"Xiao Yan?" Xia Jiusheng was afraid of scaring her, so he deliberately walked over with heavy steps, and called out softly.

"Brother—" Sun Xiaoyan raised her head and called out. There was no expression on her face, and she didn't see any tears. The only emotion was perhaps numbness, the kind of numbness that comes from the apex.

Xia Jiusheng's eyes were red, a 15-year-old girl in bloom, shouldn't she bloom unrestrainedly like a bewitching flower in summer?Looking at my cousin's current appearance, how can she still have the youth and vitality that she should have at this age.

Walking over to sit next to her, seeing that the clothes on her body were torn apart, he asked softly, "It's your brother bullying you again?"

Sun Xiaoyan shook her head, without any sadness or sadness in her eyes.

"Your father hit you?" Xia Jiusheng felt that this was the most likely possibility.

"No." Sun Xiaoyan said softly.

"Is it your grandma?" Xia Jiusheng asked again.

"No." Sun Xiaoyan still shook her head.

"It was your mother who beat you?" Xia Jiusheng suddenly understood.

At home, because of the patriarchal patriarchy of the older generation, no matter whether it is her younger brother, father or grandparents, they are all used to insulting her.But she didn't feel desperate, because at least one mother was protecting her, even though her mother's arms were so weak.

But when her mother also moved her hand, the balance in her heart finally couldn't be balanced, so she escaped from that house.

Seeing that his cousin was silent, Xia Jiusheng asked softly, "Why did my aunt beat you?"

"My younger brother cut my new clothes torn, and when I hit him, my mother hit me." Sun Xiaoyan seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, her face still expressionless.

It turned out that I was too busy.

Xia Jiusheng didn't know what to do for a while?If it was an outsider who bullied his cousin, he could help her teach her a lesson, but he, an outsider, couldn't interfere with what happened to my aunt's family. Just like my mother, I could only let my uncle's family go back. She couldn't see it.

But it seems unrealistic to persuade her to go back. The cousin's current state is not right. If she can't think about it for a while and does something stupid after she goes back, it will be troublesome.

After thinking and thinking, Xia Jiusheng still decided to take her back and let his mother find a way.

Xia Jiusheng stood up and gave his cousin a hand: "Xiao Yan, you go back with me first—"

Sun Xiaoyan was used to obedience, and when her cousin pulled her, she stood up and followed him without making a sound.

Taking my cousin back to the village, I saw my mother pacing up and down in the yard uneasily from a distance, and when I saw the car, I hurried up to meet her.

"Did you find your cousin?" Mother Xia asked nervously.

"I found it." Xia Jiusheng lowered the car window, allowing his mother to see his cousin sitting next to him.
