Bianshanhan [farming]

After planting the fields, Li Qingrui took his younger brother to build a chicken pen. Looking at the chickens grazing with their heads down, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but think of the ducks in the depths of the birch forest, and asked Li Qingwen when he would go.

Last year, the beehives were placed, and Li Qingwen also wanted to go there to have a look. It happened that the morning was cloudy, so he went to the ground to dig saplings and replant them in the direction of the birch forest from the camp.

The horses pulled the cart full of saplings and walked slowly forward. Li Qingfeng, Li Qingwen, Zhou Yao, Zhao Xiaowu, Jiang's brothers and others planted trees while digging holes.

It was a cloudy day and it didn't rain. Li Qingwen and the others continued to walk eastward, and when they arrived at the cellar, the rain finally fell. The group of people were lucky enough to avoid it, and God helped water the young saplings that had just been planted.

After not coming here for a long time, the cellar was dilapidated again, and everyone repaired it inside. This place was discovered by Li Qingwen and the others when they went to the birch forest for the first time. It took their lives, so I have a lot of affection for this place.

Thinking about the predicament at that time now, he still feels stuffy and out of breath. If it wasn't for Jiang Cong, he really doesn't know if he would be able to walk back alive.

Thinking of Jiang Cong, Li Qingwen couldn't help lowering his eyes.

When they left the basement, those four left a mark here. If you want to tell about this trip, the happiest person is Li Qingfeng and these three little ones. The dog sister Mao Mao ran more, and she had to watch her three younger brothers.

Mao Mao is the name of the dog sister, because her thick and thick fur is reddish brown, which is the brightest among the four, so she got this name.The eldest brother has a heart-shaped face. Li Qingwen named him Tao Zi. The second and third brothers both have black and white hair. One is called Lightning and the other is called Zhuifeng.

After a rain, the blue color on the ground became a bit heavier, and the dense grass emerged from the ground, and it felt cool to look at it a few more times.

Although they have been here many times, this is the first time for everyone, including Li Qingwen, to see the birch forest in spring. The white bark looks clean, and there are layers of green blankets like velvet grass on the ground, spreading all the way to There is no end to the place.

Only one white and one green make people really like it.

This is the case in spring, when a gust of wind blows, the faint smell of grass can be intoxicating.

Zhao Xiaowu and the Jiang family brothers looked dull, this, this is too broad.

A group of people stopped at the edge of the forest. When there was no snow, they couldn't get snow water anytime and anywhere. They drank all the water on their bodies. Li Qingwen taught them to make a small hole in a tall and lush birch tree, and picked up Insert the dry reed poles into the holes, then fold the oiled paper into a cone shape, and tie the upper and lower ends to the trunk with hemp rope.

Careful drilling does not affect birch growth.

This kind of white birch juice can be drunk, made into sugar and brewed wine, and can also be used for medicine, but it is very slow to collect. Taking advantage of this time, several people began to rest and eat.

After they rested, there was more juice in the oiled paper bag. After seeing Li Qingwen drank it, everyone dared to pour it into their mouths. It was refreshing and slightly sweet, and quite delicious.

Li Qingwen drank most of it, and the four puppies shared the rest. They seemed to like it very much, but they didn't know if they could drink more, so they only gave a little.

After eating and drinking well, and resting enough, everyone walked in, making marks as they walked.

Over the years, the two brothers went to the forest one after another, and learned everything they needed to learn.

In the past, Li Qingwen was always protected by Jiang Cong and the others. This time, he became the one who protected the others, riding beside him to guard his surroundings.

He knew that there were wild boars in it, and that thing was not a good stubble.

Li Qingwen drove the horse in front, Zhou Yao sat on the cart and watched him, since he came back from the capital, this person has changed a lot, not to mention growing taller, but also silent, he didn't talk so little in the past, from time to time So he and Jiang Cong got together and chatted...

Seeing Li Qingwen get off the horse and pick up a dog brother, the corners of his eyes and brows finally moved, Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows, and after Jiang Cong left, the man seemed to only smile at the dog most of the time.

They first went to those thick old trees, and the flowers hadn't bloomed yet. To Li Qingwen's delight, except for the four beehives that were blown away by the wind, all the beehives he put here had bees living in them.

Zhou Yao used up all the beeswax, and only then did she know that the thing was picked from here. Now there is another layer of beeswax flowing on the trunks of those ancient trees. She scraped them faster than Li Qingwen and the others with a wrench.

Put the scraped beeswax into the bag, and looking at the huge beehive in the tree hole of the ancient tree, everyone couldn't help but want to drool.

Everyone only tasted the honey harvested last time, and sold the rest in the capital, which earned a lot of money.

But now it is spring, there is no flowering yet, the bees have no food, and the days of harvesting the honey will be even worse. Even if the beetles are gluttonous, they can only wait for a few more months.

Li Qingfeng couldn't bear the torment of being able to see but not move, so he took people to find the wild duck. This time, he brought the leading stallion here specially, so that it could return to its original place, looking back at the majestic and majestic mare. The prestige of surrounding.

The wooden boxes that had been blown away had long been torn by rain and snow, and they could no longer be used after they were found. Li Qingwen pricked holes in the birch trees that were about to be cut down, and channeled the sap out for a long time. Strip the bark, saw the wood and make the box.

Zhou Yao didn't go around, she helped Li Qingwen fix the wood, and asked about Jiang Cong as if curious, when he would come back, and how his house was like.

After she asked a few words, Li Qingwen finally put down his work and looked at Zhou Yao with a guard in his eyes that he didn't realize.

As if she didn't see it, Zhou Yao's eyes wandered, she twisted twice, and asked in a low voice: "Listen, I heard that Jiang Cong has a green plum who grew up together in Hongzhou. You and Jiang Cong are so good, you must know her. thing?"

"Who did you listen to?" Li Qingwen asked.

After all, Qin Dongmeng was a girl who hadn't left the court. Her reputation was very important. Apart from Jiang Liping, Jiang Cong and a few members of the Li family, the others didn't know about her going north.

Zhou Yao said with an innocent face: "I heard from Ma Yongjiang and the others that Jiang Cong is good-looking and skilled, he is a person worthy of entrustment, not to mention Hongzhou, even in our camp there are many girls who have been peeping at him. "

Zhou Yao didn't know anything about Qin Dongmeng, but only heard from those soldiers that Jiang Cong was very popular with girls.

Li Qingwen looked at Zhou Yao, he really wanted to ask "Do you like Jiang Cong too", but for some reason, looking at Zhou Yao's usually calm eyes full of expectation, he didn't dare to ask.

Li Qingwen suddenly remembered, Qi Min said, before Jiang Cong left the camp, he went to find Zhou Yao, is there really something wrong, or...

A few months ago, he was able to be sure that there was nothing between Jiang Cong and Zhou Yao in front of Qin Dongmeng, but now he was a little shaken.

An inexplicable irritability surged up in his heart, Li Qingwen said: "It's useless to ask me about these things, you have to ask Jiang Cong, only he knows."

Li Qingwen didn't want to talk about this, but Zhou Yao, who can easily see his thoughts clearly, didn't seem to notice this time, and continued to say, "Then you think Jiang Cong and I are a good match..."

She didn't say the following words, Li Qingwen was already stunned, if a girl said this, did she really have an interest in Jiang Cong?

The apex twisted.

Zhou Yao was still talking to herself, "I'm not young anymore, my father always wants me to find someone else, not to mention whether it's reliable or not, at least keep a few children..."

child……

Li Qingwen was distracted again.

He remembered that Jiang's sister-in-law also said that the family in Hongzhou knew that they were doing well now, and they gradually felt at ease. The only thing they were thinking about was their marriage and children, even if they took the children back to Hongzhou to raise them.Even if something happened to them in the future, at least they kept a trace of blood. Apart from innocence, offspring were the only hope for the elders in their hometown.

He didn't understand the expectations for such a persistent bloodline, but thinking of what his parents usually said, he knew that it was very important to the elders.

Is the offspring really more important than the person?Li Qingwen was very confused and couldn't understand.

He thought, Zhou Yao is a very capable person and also has a kind heart, if she and Jiang Cong...

Looking down at the trampled grass, Li Qingwen said: "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang only regards girls from his hometown as younger sisters. He may have someone he likes, but I don't know which one."

"I see." Zhou Yao suddenly interrupted Li Qingwen's wild thoughts, her talking eyes bent, "Last time I went to the barn to look for you, you suddenly wanted to ask me something, but you ran away without saying anything , do you want to ask who Jiang Cong really likes?"

Because he hesitated for a long time because of this, Li Qingwen remembered it all at once, and opened his eyes slightly in surprise, without opening his mouth, this expression had already answered Zhou Yao's question.

What happened in the past few months, both of them thought about it for a moment, but the mood was quite different from that time.

Zhou Yao smiled, and tilted her head to look at Li Qingwen's still young and round face, "Do you like me?"

Li Qingwen's messy thoughts were shattered in an instant, what was written on his face was the same as what he said on his mouth, "How is it possible, I regard you as my sister."

"Then why do you act like you don't want me to be snatched away?" Zhou Yao asked, and after she finished speaking, her face was stunned, "Oh, I get it, you are actually afraid that your big brother Jiang will be snatched away by me!"

Li Qingwen was taken aback, his lips moving to explain.

But Zhou Yao waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Jiang doesn't see me in his eyes, and I don't like him either. Seeing that you are unhappy, I just want to tease you. I have always said that Jiang Cong is really a child. When you are separated from people close to you, you will not think about things. When you go to the capital to study in the future, the farther away you are, and the longer you are separated, you will gradually alright."

Li Qingwen was still thinking about what she said just now, and after hearing so many of them suddenly, he was finally able to ask, "Then which one do you think Big Brother Jiang likes?"

"I don't know." Zhou Yao responded very simply, "People like Jiang Cong don't think about those messy things when they are in prison, and they should be full of exoneration. You don't have to worry about these useless things. Take care of yourself." After reading your book, if one day you become a high-ranking official, you will let Brother Jiang go straight away, and that will be for his own good."
