continuation [farming]

Xia He fell into deep thought, and began to focus on the corn again, making Lan Niang wonder if it was all her fault for talking too much.Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, but Xia He is still like a wooden stake, sitting at the door every day, Lan Niang feels very distressed.

Flowers are nothing more than the kind of things that are wrapped in bright clothes, attracting bees and butterflies, and attracting girls.As the saying goes, it is flowering and fruiting, first flowering, then fruiting, if there is no flowering, where does the fruit come from?

But after thinking about it carefully, whether it's wheat, rice or corn, it's true that you can't see the flowers.

Lan Niang relieved him: "Xia He, if you can't find it, you can't find it. If you find it, it's just to add color to your book."

"No." Xia He shook her head violently, startling Lan Niang, what's wrong?

But Xia He patted her thigh, as if she had suddenly realized: "It doesn't have to be bright and beautiful to be a flower. Maybe, these millet flowers have another appearance!"

"Ah?" Lan Niang was a little confused, what was Xia He talking about?

Xia He confirmed it again to Lan Niang: "Mom, you have to use the flower cores of false flowers to make cucumber flowers, is that so?"

"That's natural." Lan Niang nodded.

"That is to say, the key is the slender core inside." Xia He smiled triumphantly, trotted over, grabbed the tassels on the top of the corn stalks lying on the ground, and asked Lan Niang, "Mother, what do you say? Is it possible that it is the cob of corn?" Then he picked up another piece of corn and pointed to the silk, "This is the pistil of the female! This is like male and female, male and female! The male and female are the same! Put the pistils together, and there will be small corns!"

Lan Niang looked left and right, not daring to make a conclusion.

Xia He had no choice but to wait for Zhang Shiyi to come back again, and told Zhang Shixi her own principles.Zhang Shiyi thought about it, but shook his head, and said, "I also become a monk halfway through farming, so how do I know so much?"

Xia He couldn't help it, but the yard of this house was located in a remote place, and there were no familiar neighbors around. Xia He couldn't find anyone to agree with his ideas, so he asked someone to deliver a letter to Li Mu.

Last year, Li Mu was still the only one who sent letters to Xia He, but among those who sent letters, one person ran away three times.After several visits, Xia He got acquainted with the person, and also found out that the person lived in Raonan Town, traveled between Raonan and Qingyang, and did reselling business.Last time he entrusted this person to deliver a letter to Li Mu, first time acquaintance second time acquaintance, this time, Xia He came to the door again.

Counting the time spent on the road, it took many days for this letter to arrive in Li Mu's hands.

Li Mu was a little worried that Xia He still couldn't leave the doll in his words this time, but after opening it, he felt relieved, but still felt a little sad.This time, Xia He talked inside and outside the box, the one who didn't leave was the corn.

The paper was full of flowers and fruits, and whether flowers must be beautiful or not, but Li Mu looked at it and felt that he seemed to be listening to the teacher's reasoning.In fact, Li Mu secretly hoped that one day when he opened the letter written by Xia He, he could see that Xia He was writing all over the place about how he thought of himself.

It's a pity that Xia He is such a person who is addicted to love.

Li Mu replied to the letter solemnly, becoming the only one who supported Xia He's seemingly wild idea.

Holding up the reply letter written by Li Mu, Xia He proudly showed off to Zhang Shiyi: "Look, Brother Mu understands my thoughts!"

"Hmph, your father and I are only a monk halfway, but he is a complete layman, worse than me, so you just listen to him?" Zhang Shixi said yes.

Xia He ignored Zhang Shixi, he could see that as long as he and Li Mu were involved, Zhang Shixi would not have a good word to say, but fortunately, he was just talking.

But, now, I have to think about what he should do next year to separate the male and female stamens, and then use the stamens of sticky corn to point on the pistils of sweet corn, and then use the stamens of sweet corn to touch the pistils of sweet corn. Go for some sticky corn pistils.

Then wait for the next year to see if the seeds I get are all mixed corn seeds... oops!

Xia He suddenly remembered something and patted himself on the forehead.

"What's the matter, Xia He?" Seeing that Xia He was originally complacent, Lan Niang suddenly frowned again, and asked yes.

Xia He counted with her fingers: "Mother, how long does it take to go from here to Liang Jing?"

"Probably four or five months." If it wasn't for Lan Niang's estimate.

"Then, the next test will be in the autumn of the next year?" Xia He asked.

"Yes." Lan Niang said yes.

"...It's too late." If you talk about studying, you can still read at night and work hard, but there is only one crop of corn every year. No matter how you calculate it, after Xia He has verified his own Guess, it won't be in time to go to the meeting with Li Mu.

He was dejected, and entrusted someone to deliver the news to Qingyang.

It's just that when Li Mu received it, he was about to set off and go back, so he didn't write a reply. Instead, after reading it, he shook his head and heaved a sigh of relief. He discussed it carefully so that Xia He didn't have to worry.

Xia He, who could not receive a reply, was bored at home, playing with a corn stalk in his hand, and thought of many ways, but he couldn't figure out how to completely separate the two stamen-like things so that they would not touch each other. There is little corn.

Xia He couldn't think of a good idea, so he just lay on the bed and rolled around.

His embarrassing appearance fell into Lan Niang's eyes, and the mother couldn't stand it any longer, and was about to pull Xia He up when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

When the door was opened, it was actually Li Mu who came back.

"Second son-in-law?" Lan Niang was taken aback, counting the days, another year has indeed passed.

"Mother-in-law, I'm going to see Xia He." Li Mu felt cold, as if he hadn't stayed at Li's house for a long time, and then came out again.

Lan Niang turned around, and just wanted Li Mu to go in, when she suddenly remembered that Xia He was still embarrassing in her room, she wanted to stop her, but she didn't think about it, Li Mu went away in the blink of an eye.

His steps were correct, but he never thought that he could walk so fast.

Li Mu wanted to surprise Xia He from the bottom of his heart, so he went straight into the door without making a sound, and saw Xia He was rolling around on the bed with a corn stalk in his arms.

It happened that Xia He turned around, facing the door, and suddenly saw a tall figure standing in front of him.Take a closer look, Li Mu? !

He immediately sat up, as if nothing happened just now, and dropped the corn stalk in his hand on the ground.

But Li Mu's mouth was smiling, obviously he would not regard what he saw just now as a hallucination, and then forget it.

Xia He said: "I'm doing my big business, it's as important as your reading."

Li Mu didn't answer his words, but asked: "Xia He, do you ever miss me?"

"..." Xia He thought to himself, why did this person become more straightforward after not seeing Li Mu for a whole year.

But Xia He is a person who can't hide his feelings: "I think, you're finally back!"

After saying that, Xia He stood up, ran to Li Mu's side, and gave him a hug that he could only get when he returned home, just like when he sent Li Mu away.

Lan Niang, who was chasing up, saw that the two young men hugged each other with the door open, regardless of whether she was still at home.

After thinking about it, Lan Niang didn't make a sound, but helped to close the door.

"Brother Mu, did you receive my letter?" Xia He asked after having hugged her enough.

Li Mu nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you."

When Xia He heard this, he pulled someone aside and sat down, poured him a glass of water, and when it was full, he realized that the water in the pot was already completely cold. Xia He was a little embarrassed, but Li Mu picked up the glass Come, drink it like drinking tea, and don't dislike it at all.

Xia He stopped talking about changing him to a hot cup, and asked him, "What's the matter, Brother Mu?"

"I want to wait another three years before leaving, and I won't go to the next year's test." Li Mudao said, "Unless the year after next year happens to coincide with His Majesty's funeral, the next year's test is pleasing to the eye, and Enke will be added after three years , I can go."

Xia He counted the number of years, and it was just enough for him to try whether his idea was right, but he wanted to write it into a text, but the time was very tight.

"Don't worry, just do it well." Li Mu told him to relax.

It's just that if this is the case, I don't have the chance to fail again.After calculating the time, Xia He had an idea in his heart, and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Brother Mu, I will definitely succeed!"

Li Mu thought in his heart, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not, no matter what, he will be the one who will show his face in front of His Majesty first.But seeing Xia He happy, Li Mu didn't intend to say these words.

Li Mu sat quietly at the side, listening to Xia He gesturing what he was going to do next year, and then suddenly remembered, and ran to cook him a new kind of corn, which was obviously cooked in the kitchen. The ones are hanging out, but Xia He insists on getting new ones, insisting: "Fresh ones are delicious, I guarantee you will want to eat them again after eating!"

Li Mu is a little funny, he is not a greedy person, seeing what Xia He said, if he eats and wants to eat again, Xia He himself is probably the one.

However, Li Mu was indeed curious about this kind of corn, so he waited in the kitchen with Xia He, expecting, when the corn was fished out of the pot, he was not afraid of being scalded, so he peeled it off himself and looked at it carefully.Some of the kernels of this kind of corn are white, and some are yellowish, inlaid and mixed. It's not pretty, but it's better than the grains are full.Seeing Xia He's expectant expression, Li Mu took a bite, and it did have a different taste as Xia He boasted.

When Xia He saw Li Mu took a bite, she waited for Li Mu's compliment.

Seeing Xia He's appearance, Li Mu was reluctant not to praise him, saying: "It really is a good thing."

"I don't have any extravagant expectations, I just hope that this thing can make His Majesty look at me and listen to me, just once." Xia He said yes.

Li Mu still didn't tell the truth, but patted him: "You will get your wish."

"I hope so." Xia He muttered.
