This Monday, in the morning, Chuwu sent a message to the classmates in the village to ask the class teacher for two days off.

For him, he has almost prepared for the senior high school entrance examination review, and it is not bad for these two days, but the ephedra at home is an important part of him becoming a rich second generation in the future, so he can't be sloppy, and here he works with Chu Dad and the others , much better than hanging out with a bunch of half-grown kids.Looking at the classmates in his class with a mental age in his 30s, he feels that he is looking at the juniors. There is love and tolerance, but he can't play together anymore.

Chu's father and Chu's mother saw that their son was going to ask for leave, and said a few words, but seeing that their son had made up their minds, they no longer struggled, and believed in their son's propriety in learning.

All the workers came early, and the country folks were even more ashamed not to put in effort when they were paid, so they came earlier than a few days ago.

This time, Dad Chu led the first and second teams to go to Qianjin Village to have a look.Last night, when I was discussing with everyone where to go to dig some ephedra seedlings, several people suggested going to Qianjin Village.From Shitou Village to Qianjin Village, there happened to be a small road, and the locals walked by themselves, and there were a few good places where ephedra grew near that road.

If you go that way, it's a little far away, so it's impossible to dig and plant at the same time, so you can only dig together and plant tomorrow.

Everyone had harnessed their carriages and was about to set off when they saw several carriages entering the east alley.

"It seems to be grandpa. Grandpa is here!" Chu Wu's eyes were sharp, and he happened to see that the person driving the third carriage that came in was his grandfather, Mr. Bai.

Chu's mother was tidying up in the back kitchen at this time, when she heard her son's shout, she hurried out to see that it was indeed her father who had come over.Old man Bai's name is Bai Baoshan, he recovered from the serious illness he suffered when he was young, and now he is in good health, he rarely even has a cold, so he looks quite energetic.

The family rushed out of the hospital.

There were as many as six carriages, and when Chu's mother and Chu Wu saw what was in the white silk bags piled up on the carriage, they couldn't help but be moved and their eyes turned red.

"Yo, isn't Xiao Wu going to school today? What time is it? Are you late?" Old Master Bai spoke first.

"I'm asking for leave. Is it cold on the road for grandpa? Go and sit in the house. Uncle Quanxi and Uncle Shuangxi, come in and warm up." Chu Wu quickly adjusted his emotions and greeted him warmly.Early spring mornings are still relatively cold.

"What's so cold about it? I see that the roads and fields are turning green, and spring is here!" Yang Quanxi replied with a smile, and shook a whip with a loud voice.

"Dad, what are you doing? I told you to come and live here, but you didn't come here. What are you messing about this time? We can handle it by ourselves, what should you do if you are tired? I don't even care about how old I am." Mother Chu It's half coquettish and half feigning anger.

"Your dad, I'm not old enough to work! It's even more uncomfortable not to work, and it's all thanks to Quan Xi's efforts." Mr. Bai is 56 this year. He has worked all his life, and he is really not used to living a leisurely retirement life. , Let him idle, he really can't sit still.But he has never had anything to do with his daughter and grandson, he can only try his best to defend.

"Yes, yes! Sister Haitang, don't worry, what about us? Can it really make the uncle tired?" Quan Xi gave old man Bai a knowing wink while talking.

"Sister Haitang, where do you put the ephedra?" Quanxi asked again.

"The place we planted is not far to the west of the house. Please everyone, how about we go there and unload it directly?" Dad Chu walked to Mr. Bai while talking.

"Dad, you go to the house to rest first, and I'll take someone there to put down the ephedra before I come back!" After saying that, he took the reins from Old Man Bai's hand, and drove the carriage to clear the way first. Quanxi and four other people also drove him The carriage followed.

It turned out that what old master Bai sent was ephedra seedlings from six carriages.He heard people who visited Shitou village say that the eldest daughter's house was growing ephedra these days, and he also considered that the ephedra around Shitou village might not be enough to grow.

Two days ago, the old woman just finished finishing the net that caught half a catty. He had originally planned to come to Shitou Village. Thinking of this, he simply postponed the departure date for another two days.Although Bai Haitang and Bai Mudan always told him not to do heavy work, but in his opinion, digging ephedra was light work at all?My bones are going to rust after I've been doing nothing all winter, and I can help my daughter while I'm still able to do something.

The old lady also agreed with this idea. It happened that their house was at the northernmost part of Qianjin Village, and there was a piece of ephedra behind the house.The old couple did it when they said they would do it, took the shovel and went out.

When I went out, I happened to run into Quanxi.Quanxi is a child of the Yang family, their old neighbor in the west courtyard. He is the same age as Bai Mudan, and has a good relationship with the two girls of the Bai family since childhood.As soon as he heard that the old couple wanted to dig some ephedra seedlings for Bai Haitang, he came to help without saying a word, and called the other three children of the Yang family and two brothers who were close friends to help dig for two days. , sent them together again today, but it really didn't make the old couple tired.

"Why didn't grandma come?" Chu Wu asked.

"Oh, she's looking after the house! There are animals in the house, so no one is watching." Mr. Bai replied.In fact, the old lady is mainly unwilling to come over to cause trouble because her daughter's house is busy now.

Chuwu and Chu's mother also thought of this, so they didn't say more.

"Dad, please move here! We are growing ephedra now, and we will definitely live more this year. I am setting up a stall in the town, and my family is too busy. You can help me bring Chuwen and raise some ephedra. Livestock. I guess I won’t be able to feed the New Year’s pigs this winter.” Chu’s mother persuaded, she really couldn’t do anything about it, and her parents were already in their [-]s, and they lived alone in Qianjin Village. People can't rest assured that Bai Mudan's home is at the southernmost end of the village, and her brother-in-law is such a person, he is not much better than himself who lives in Shitou Village.But after persuading the elders for several years, they still haven't agreed to move here, so they can only find a reason to move here and ask for help, maybe it will be useful!

"Yes, yes! Grandpa, you also know that our grandma's terrible cooking skills made Chuwen lose weight. If only you and grandma were here! Both Chuwen and I love to eat the meals made by grandma. "Chu Wu stepped up again.

The old man loves these grandchildren the most.Moreover, he really didn't blame his grandma. His grandma really didn't have any talent in cooking. After living her whole life, she could cook stews, and she couldn't even make dumplings for pasta. Everyone knew that. It's also hard for Grandma Chu not to starve to death of her own children, at least let Dad Chu and the others grow up healthily.

Old man Bai was really shaken when he heard that.In fact, when Chu Wu and Jiang Mingrui left last time, he and the old lady were already a little shaken.The relatives are closer from generation to generation, and what they are more reluctant to bear now is Chuwu and Chuwen.

"I'll go back and discuss it with your grandma! This move is not a trivial matter."

Chu's mother saw and persuaded her for so many years, but the old father finally let go, almost crying with joy.Chu Wu also showed a happy expression.

Seeing the expressions of his eldest daughter and grandson, the old man cuddled in his heart.

At this time, Chu's father had already returned with a few people from Qianjin Village.Hearing from Chu Wu, Mr. Bai finally has some plans to move here, and he is also very happy.

If you want to say that the second elder of the Bai family has never been picky about his son-in-law.His own parents were clearly partial to the second child.When the family was separated, he and Bai Haitang had two earthen houses, a small table and a few small cabinets, and they didn't even have a farm animal.

The old man still couldn't see it, but the Bai family had only one horse at that time.In those few years, the old man was always in a hurry to finish planting his own land, and he was pulling in his own old man. The two old men brought their own horses to help them.Later, the father-in-law added two more cows to them, saying that they were for their grandson's cows, and for his grandson to drink milk.The two cows have grown into four or five. Finally, a few years ago, one year when my legs hurt so badly that I needed medical treatment, I sold the cows.

"Dad, you should move here quickly, why don't Haitang and I add two more rooms to the house this summer?" Seeing that the old man let go, Chu's father hurriedly chased after the victory, trying to settle the matter.

Grandpa didn't deny it this time either.Chu Wu looked at his parents, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. This is because the old man really agreed!

With the seedlings sent by Mr. Bai, Dad Chu and the others don't have to go out to dig the seedlings by themselves. Except for a few helpers in the kitchen, they all went to the ephedra field.Mother Chu originally wanted to cook a few more vegetables for breakfast for the people from Qianjin Village, but they said they had already eaten before departure and were not hungry, so they followed Father Chu directly to the field.Even Mr. Bai clung to his precious grandson Chuwu and went, but Mrs. Chu didn't stop her.

People from Qianjin Village joined in, and the work was done faster, and all the planting was finally completed in two days.Because there were not enough ephedra seedlings in the middle, Dad Chu and the others went to other places to dig some.

After finishing their work, old man Bai and Quanxi took the people away regardless of Chuwu and Chu's mother's persuasion.

When Chu's mother calculated the wages for others, she also calculated the wages of the few people who came from Qianjin Village, but Quanxi and the others were determined not to accept it. In the end, it was old man Bai who came forward to solve the problem.

Chuwu looked at the ephedra in his eyes, as if he saw the RMB in his eyes, but he knew that this was only the first step of his flight, and there was still a long way to go before his goal was realized!

At this time, he was still looking forward to the ephedra with eyes full of joy.
