Crossing the green wheat ears

Xiyuan was overjoyed, and in order to reward their youngest son, he went back and made a delicious meal for Changshuo, not counting the food and wine, and went out of his way to make a bucket of ice cream for him.

It is not difficult to say that making ice cream is not difficult. The key is to whip the fresh milk into cream.

Moreover, Xiyuan said that today you can only eat it with the help of Xiao Lao Qi. Therefore, the premise is that Xiao Lao Qi has eaten enough before you can have your share. Therefore, how much is enough is up to you to judge.

If these three want to eat ice cream, they have to work hard, work more and eat more, if there is less, there will be no share for them, not to mention, um, there are four little radish heads waiting to be pinched, there are old people in the west courtyard, and myself Daughter-in-law, oops, how much do you have to whip to count?

So, there is no such thing as a free lunch, which is true.

Xiyuan took the opportunity to make more. In addition to jam, there are also fresh strawberries, persimmons, cherries, and watermelons. Each flavor is delicious.

Of course, the finished ice cream needs to be frozen in the refrigerator. They don’t have a refrigerator, so Wei Cheng led Xiwei Xiyang to put the barrel into the well. Even in summer, there is ice on the wall of the well, although it is not as good as the refrigerator. The effect is good, but it can also play a corresponding role.

After lunch, the big and the small didn't leave, why?Time to eat ice cream.The little ones were too sleepy to keep their eyes open, and they were still waiting for the "Bingji Lin" made by the big daddy.

Xiyuan was helpless, fortunately, it had been put in the well for more than an hour, and it was probably edible, so Wei Cheng was asked to lift the wooden barrel up from the well, fortunately, it had already formed and solidified.

Use a small wooden bowl for a few small ones, and let them hold a small wooden spoon and sit on a small stool to dig and eat. The others, each took a wooden bowl, and a large bowl came , Facing the scorching sun outside, the more you eat, the more enjoyable you are.

"Brother, it's so cool, make us something tomorrow after we finish eating." Xi Wei made a request while eating.

"Greedy ghost, you are addicted to food, today I borrowed from Xiao Lao Qi, otherwise I would not bother to bother." Xi Yuan scolded with a smile.

"Borrow Seventh Uncle." A few radish heads next to him dug up ice cream and ate it, parroting their tongues.Because of Uncle Seven's good performance, Daddy cooks delicious food. They adore Uncle Seven so much. In the future, they will try to learn from Uncle Seven and behave well, so that Daddy can make "Bingjilin" too.

After the little ones finished eating, Xiyuan sent them to take a nap, and Changshuo happily went back to study his medical books. Before leaving, he didn't forget to bring a bowl of ice cream to Li Yuan.

After the rest of the brothers finished eating, one of them found a comfortable place, um, for a lunch break.

Wei Cheng glared at Xi Wei and Xiyang one after another, you said you two, you are full enough to eat and drink, you don't go back to find your own daughter-in-law, you just stand in their yard and get in the way, making it impossible for him and Xi Yuan to get close.

Xiyuan didn't care about that, the afternoon sun was a little hot, the doors and windows of the house were open, and the room was very cool. He returned to the bedroom, took the pillow, covered him with a quilt, and had a comfortable sleep.

When he woke up, apart from the voices of Xi Wei and his wife, there were also four small voices running and playing around in the yard.Xiyuan woke up and took a nap, stretched his waist, straightened his clothes, and walked out with his shoes.

Outside the door, Qianqian led the three younger brothers, each of them took a small wooden shovel, and dug the soil among the flowers, one by one, their faces were ashamed, and they didn't know what to do with it.

Xi Wei was lying on the hammock, squinting his eyes at the distant blue sky and a few cotton-like snow-white clouds, seemingly in thought, while Xi Yang was occupying the rocking chair, shaking and shaking, occasionally yelling a few small, don't scourge of things.

Wei Cheng didn't have the habit of taking a nap, but Xiyuan felt that taking a nap was good for his health, so he forced him to take a nap at noon. Slowly, he could sleep for a while, but each time was at most fifteen minutes, let alone In just this quarter of an hour, after waking up and taking a nap, I feel refreshed. Therefore, now, Wei Cheng does not rule out taking a nap at noon.

The rest of the house was occupied by Xiwei Xiyang, and he couldn't enter the house and get tired of Xiyuan, so Wei Cheng had to wrong himself and sleep on the sofa for a while.

The weather turned hot, and the furs used to keep warm were put away after drying in the sun. Bamboo mats were spread on the sofa, and it was cool to lie down and sit against.

Wei Cheng squinted for a while, got up early, turned around and went to the backyard garden, picked half a tub of red cherries from the cherry tree, took a wooden bowl and sent a bowl to Wan Mingyu and Li Erhu, and the rest came back and washed for everyone to eat .

Seeing Xi Yuan, he put the small wooden table away, and the little ones stopped digging the soil, and ran over to wait for the cherries.Wei Cheng brought a basin of water and washed them one by one.

"I like playing with soil so much. I'll plant you guys in the garden tomorrow and see what can grow." Xiyuan said while digging cherry seeds, the little Wei Lian doesn't know how to spit out cherry seeds yet, Xiyuan I am afraid that he will be anxious when eating and choke into the trachea. There is no modern medical technology here. Even if there is a little doctor at home, he will not be able to save him. Therefore, when these hard and small things are given to the child, he will not Be very careful.

"Long shed (apple) fruit." Wei Lian leaned on the big daddy's lap, waiting for the big daddy to feed the picked cherries into his mouth. He still remembered the apples and oranges that the second daddy bought last year. The child loved them very much. Eat apples, so when Xiyuan said what to grow, he immediately said grow apples.

"Grow oranges." Wei Li loves to eat oranges and thinks they should grow into oranges.

"Pull it down, just you?" Xi Wei jumped out of the hammock, came over and grabbed a handful of cherries and stuffed them into his mouth, then spitting out the cherry seeds while eating.

"That's right, if our Huang Tonger grows, it's not an apple, um, it can't be an orange either. It has to be as good as your father's." Xiyang, like Xi Wei, also eats by the handful.

There are several cherry trees in the house, and the cherries are only ripe for a few days. The cherries in the tree are too full to eat, and the rest can only be picked to make fruit wine or jam.

"What does it look like?" Qianqian was very strange, she was getting older, and her father told him to eat slowly, don't worry, she just put them into her mouth one by one, spit out the seeds first, and then chewed the cherry meat, how many The most reassuring thing among children.

"What else can you grow? You can tell by looking at the face, Hei Lidanzi." Xi Wei taught people tirelessly.

Here, they sell frozen pears in winter, each of which is black like briquettes. That's it. When the family was poor, adults were reluctant to buy them. In the cold weather, eating a frozen pear egg is a luxury.

Now it is not so rare. There is no shortage of fruits in the family village. Forbidden fruits, such as shaguo and small apples, can be eaten in the middle of winter if they are put in the cellar.If you run out of food, you can still eat canned fruit.If nothing else, just from this aspect, you can feel that life has really changed for the better.

"Uncle Fifth, it's not black, it's not black!" Wei Li was unhappy when he heard this, and stomped his feet in protest.

"Eat, don't recruit children." Xi Yuan glared at Xi Wei.

"That's right, Uncle Wu didn't mean our yellow pupils, Uncle Wu meant your father, your father is Hei Lidan, you are lighter than him." Xi Wei hastily changed his words.

Wei Cheng: ...

Is he that dark?

Wei Li was still young and couldn't hear good words. Knowing that Uncle Wu didn't mean that he was black, he stopped stomping and ate the cherries obediently.

Wei Cheng knew that Wei Li was impatient, so he supervised him not to eat too fast. He had to put the cherries into his mouth one by one, spit out the seeds before eating the pulp. Although Wei Li was in a hurry, he was even more afraid of his father, so he behaved very well. .

After eating the cherries, the younger ones continued to play, and the younger ones sat at the table chatting.

"Brother, you said that our youngest son is so capable, does it seem that we are useless?" Xiyang scratched his head, seeing the elder brother's praise for his work, especially the admiration and joy in his eyes, called them a few The elder brother feels ashamed of himself and feels inferior to the seventh.

"People are better than others to live, and goods are better to keep. Although you guys are crooked, you can't let them go, right?" Xi Yuan joked.

"Brother!" Sivera raised his voice. Brothers, it turns out that elder brother likes him and second elder brother the most. It is absolutely unrealistic to say that elder brother boasted that Shuo Xiwei was not jealous today.

"Yeah, look, Xiaoyong is good at studying, he will be a candidate for the imperial examination in the future, and Xiaolaoqi is so good. Hey, why do you think that we are older and older brothers, but we can't stand it anymore." Wei Cheng added fuel to the fire. , In fact, he didn't feel a sense of loss in his heart. Men are more or less eager to catch up.

"Then you say, brother stays at home all day, is it more useless than you?" Xi Yuan saw that the younger brothers were serious, and quickly explained.

"No, big brother, without you, how could our family live like this? Every time I encounter difficult things outside, when I think of you at home, I don't have any difficulties in my heart, and I have enough confidence." Xiyang He quickly said, although the elder brother doesn't do everything by himself, the family members feel at ease with the elder brother around.

"That's right, brother, with you here, we feel that our family's life will be better and better, and the more prosperous we will be." Xi Wei said.

"That's right, you just don't do anything, just sit there, and you can give us some encouragement." Wei Cheng couldn't help stroking Xiyuan's back with his hand, without this person by his side, a high-ranking official, rich and prosperous , give him everything that the world envies, and life will not be perfect.

"Then it's over. You see, before our family, why did the eldest brother refuse to buy land? Isn't it because he was afraid of being too rich, hitting people's eyes, and being targeted and harmed. Later, Xiao Wei won the exam. , Big brother has the confidence to buy the land, right?" Xi Wei nodded, his status as a person can still scare people, even the beard in Dongshan is not easy to provoke, he is half an official.

"Also, if there is no Yang Yang to take care of the herbs grown by Xiaolaoqi and sell them at a good price, isn't it no different from the wild vegetables and wild vines in the big field?" Xiyang nodded, and the family's property was in his hands. Taking care of eggs, food, medicinal materials, food recipes... the money in and out of each item is inseparable from his meticulous management.

"As for Chengzi, look, you stand in the field like the king of hell, which long-term worker dares to cause trouble? The year before last, there were people who were eager to look in the woods of our house, wanting to see what was mysterious. No one dared to come back from Chengzi, right? ?” Wei Cheng nodded.

Last spring, there was a long-term worker who was free. He knew that there might be some secrets to making a fortune in the woods of the West Family. He wanted to go in and have a look. As soon as he went in, Wei Cheng found out. The man ran out quickly, but Wei Cheng didn't chase after , only on the back, wait until there are many people, and when the whip goes down, the person falls to the ground and doesn't get up for a long time.

Later, that person was sent far away, whether it was the long-term workers at home or the villagers outside, they really didn't dare to think about the Xi family's property.Now, Wei Cheng selects some of the long-term workers who are physically strong, and trains a few to take care of the land and woods at home. Anyone who dares to steal is caught and handed over to him immediately.

Therefore, although the family has a lot of property, it has been safe and sound, and it can be farmed with confidence.

After Xiyuan said it, the three brothers found out, oh, so I am so important and have played such a big role!The self-esteem that was hit by the old seven recovered, no longer entangled, and began to be confident again.

Xiyuan looked at them, and there was nothing wrong with them. At such a young age, someone who married a wife and had children had to be comforted by him, and he had to boast a few words from time to time. Is this the rhythm of growing up?He was skeptical.

"Now, I'm looking forward to my sixth son passing the imperial examination. At that time, we don't have to pay rent for our land, and we will own whatever we produce, hahaha." Xi Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed a few times.

Xi Wei and the others: ...

Is this after complimenting them and then hitting the sixth child?

"Brother!" Xi Wei was dissatisfied, so he elongated his voice and called out brother.

Xiyuan smiled back, and patted Xi Wei's head. Xi Wei was taller than him, and it was really not easy to stand up when touching his head.

"Okay, okay, my brother said that our family doesn't judge heroes by success or failure, as long as we have a good heart and live a good life. We don't care about high-ranking officials and riches, glory and wealth." The others listened and nodded .

"By the way, I asked you to interrupt me. I almost forgot. Today I saw the woods in Xiaolaoqi Lane, and I felt that the other half should be cleared out as well. It can't be used to raise chickens. It's too blind." Utilized so well, Xiyuan intends to make full use of the other half.

"What's wrong with those chickens?" Xiyang asked.Their chickens are free-range. If they are not put in the woods, they can only be raised in the chicken coop.

"How about planting saplings on the flat ground next to the chicken coop, where the chickens will be raised?" Xi Wei thought.

"Well, brother also thinks the same way, empty out the forest land, and let Xiao Laoqi plant herbs. It happens to be near the chicken coop. The crops are not growing well, and the soil is a little sandy. I think planting trees can do it. Ask grandpa Dad and Uncle and the others, let’s see what kind of trees can grow well, besides, our family has chicken manure, so there is no shortage of fertilizer, so if we can put more fertilizer on that piece of land, I think it will work.” Xi Yuandao, the work in the crop field, they Few, no one has a few elders who know how to do it.

"Okay, I think it looks good." Wei Cheng appreciated it.This person has a lot of ideas in making a fortune, um, how can life be bad with him?

Several kinds of herbs like Xiaolaoqishi’s are grown wild in their wild fields. In the eyes of the locals, they are no different from wormwood. The only function is that they dry up in autumn and can be used as firewood when cut off. , As a result, he and Xiao Laoqi got them into their own medicine fields, a large area of ​​a kind, and in autumn, after the processing is completed, they can be exchanged for a lot of money.

Also, persimmons, sour pears, and sand fruits that were originally considered as wild fruits are now the main source of income for the villagers...

The brothers discussed it, and the next day, Wei Cheng and the leader of Xiyang started related matters.Xiyuan was not idle, and took Xiwei to Yansui to visit Mr. Ye.
