leisurely farming life

"Hey, where did you steal the good things!" Xu Chenghua looked at the rare pastries, and took a piece of it without embarrassment at all: "You should be filial to your grandma!"

Xu Chenghua came in with the pastry, and Wang Xiaoshan stood there, so wronged that he was about to cry, but he still held back his tears, and slowly returned home unwillingly.

Of course, Cheng Qing didn't know that the pastries he gave to Xiao Shan had entered someone else's belly. What he was thinking of now was to go to the town to buy saplings and plant them. He had already thought about what kind of tree to plant, so he planted plum trees.

Cheng Qing likes plum blossoms very much, and he prefers the cakes made by plum blossoms. Xiaoyun is skillful in making pastries, and he believes that he will have delicious snacks this winter.

Before heading to town, though, he had some things to think about.

For example, what is he going to do.

Living in a mountain village is not as comfortable as living in a town. After all, Wangjia Village is really remote from the bustling town, and it is not easy to go to the town.

In the past, if you want to eat or drink whatever you want, you can just send the servants at home to go out and buy it, but now, I am afraid that you have to do it yourself to make enough food and clothing.

Cheng Qing has inquired that there are generally two livelihoods in Wangjia Village, one is to go to the fields to grow food, and the other is to go to the mountains to find wild food to sell.

Cheng Qing didn't even think about going up the mountain to find wild food, and that was the only way left.

Although Cheng Qing didn't worry about food or clothing, he always wanted to integrate into the life of the village. No matter what, it was not difficult to buy acres of land to grow some food.

Thinking about it that way, Cheng Qing felt an inexplicable sense of confidence in himself. He wandered around in the yard, thinking about what would be the most suitable plant.

But before thinking about what to plant, buying a piece of land is the most important thing.

"Xiaoyun, has the Li Chang's family come back?"

"My lord, I did laundry a few days ago. I heard from my aunt next to me that the head of the village seems to be back in the next two days."

"Two days after tomorrow..." Cheng Qing thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the town tomorrow, and the food at home is almost gone. I want to plant plum trees in the yard, so I need to buy some plum saplings Come back. We still have to visit the village chief's house, so we must buy gifts..."

On the afternoon of the second day, Cheng Qing and Xiaoyun went out to the town together, and since Cheng Qing wanted to go together, Xiaoyun had found a carriage a day earlier, and after lunch, Cheng Qing and Xiaoyun got on carriage.

The town was as lively as ever, and there were constant yells from various shops. When Cheng Qing got off the carriage, he felt that his ears were filled with all kinds of voices, and he couldn't react for a moment.

Seeing the young master in a daze, Xiaoyun smiled: "Young master, are you not used to it?"

"It's true, I'm not used to the noise in just a few days."

"Then why don't you find a teahouse to rest for a while?"

"No, it's better to buy something early if we have this time, let's go home early."

Cheng Qing took a quick look and saw that there was a seed shop in front of this alley. He pointed to that shop and said, "Let's split up. There is a seed shop over there. I'll go and see the seeds. You can buy them and go to the village chief." What to bring when visiting home..."

"Okay, listen to the young master's arrangement."

In fact, as long as you ask the neighbors in the village about seeds, they will give them. After all, they are not very expensive things.

But Cheng Qing didn't have the nerve to trouble them, and besides, it wouldn't cost much, so he didn't owe that favor any more.

As soon as Cheng Qing entered the store, the waiter immediately came up to greet him, and said with a smile on his face, "What does this young man want? Our store has the most complete seeds and vegetable seedlings in the whole town. It's gone!"

Cheng Qing looked around the shop, there were indeed a lot of things, all the seeds were marked with their names, and thousands of good seedlings were placed up and down.

"What is the most suitable for planting at the moment?"

The shop waiter smiled: "I'm afraid this son is joking, the most suitable thing to plant right now is seedlings..."

seedling?Cheng Qing never thought about it. The process from planting seedlings to harvesting into rice is tedious and energy-intensive. Cheng Qing and Xiaoyun may not have a good harvest even if Cheng Qing and Xiaoyun are exhausted.

"Except for seedlings, they are easier to grow and don't require too much energy to manage."

The waiter in the shop rolled his eyes, knowing that the young man in front of him must not be the twin of an ordinary family, and maybe buying seeds and farming is just a plaything for pastime.

"Then, young master, planting cabbage is probably the most suitable."

"Calbage?" Cheng Qing thought of the cabbage that he saw by accident sometimes, and asked curiously, "Calbage is easy to grow?"

"Cabbage is tenacious in nature, as long as it is watered in time, it can grow well." The shop assistant enthusiastically said: "Cabbage can not only be eaten, but also used as medicine. You don't need too much care when you buy it back, and you will have a good harvest. .”

Now that he has said that, Cheng Qing nodded: "Then cabbage."

"Hey, that's good!" The shop waiter smiled and wrapped Cheng Qing with seeds: "Is there anything else you need, my lord?"

"Do you have plum saplings in your family?"

"Yes, it's in the backyard, young master, follow me to have a look?"

"No need, just take them together."

"Young master is refreshing, wait here for a while, I will fetch plum saplings for you."

Taking advantage of the gap when the waiter went to get the plum saplings, Cheng Qing went to a nearby shop to buy some pastries. When the waiter came back, Cheng Qing was sitting on a chair in the shop, savoring the pastries.

"Young master, everything is ready, a total of [-] yuan."

Cheng Qing paid the money, took the purchased things and went out.

At the very end of the alley, a plainly dressed woman kept looking at Cheng Qing. As soon as Cheng Qing came out of the shop, she shrank into the alley so that Cheng Qing would not notice.

The woman didn't come out of the alley until Cheng Qing was no longer in sight, walked quickly to the seed shop where Cheng Qing was staying just now, looked at it silently for a while, and then walked away.

On the second floor of the largest tea house in Cheng'an Town, a Shuang'er with an outstanding appearance and extraordinary manners was holding the child in his arms, teasing him carefully, as if afraid that he would cry.

"You don't need to be so careful, little bird, Joan doesn't cry so easily..." Standing beside Shuang'er was a man in plain clothes. The man was broad and did not look like a frail scholar.

These two are Lifeng, the eldest son of Liguo, and his husband Hu Min, who are praised by Liguo people, and the child is Lifeng and Hu Min's child who has just turned one year, Hu Qiaoan.

Back then when Liguo was in chaos, Hu Min, as the eldest son, saved the country from fire and water, and Lifeng was the one who bravely stood up to take charge of the overall situation when the emperor was ill. Their deeds were praised by everyone in Liguo, and they The relationship between the two is more than the backbone, which makes countless talented people envy.

"Then why don't you come and hug him?" Li Feng muttered, "It's not like you don't know how afraid I am of bumping into him..."

"It's Xiaoniao who complained a few days ago that the child doesn't get close to you. If you hug him more, the child will get close to you. If you are always afraid of not hugging him, how will the child get close to you?"

"Who made him so small?"

Hu Min laughed and said: "That child grows up step by step, how can there be a saying that a child grows up all at once?"

Hu Qiaoan is actually very well-behaved, he doesn't like to cry or make trouble, looking at you with a pair of big wet eyes, he looks really well-behaved.

Li Feng carefully dipped the spoon in some water and put it into Hu Qiaoan's mouth. Hu Qiaoan babbled and waved his hands, looking very excited.

"Why hasn't Xiaoyuan come back yet? It took so long to buy some pastries?" Li Feng was really tired, and Hu Min could tell, so he took his son into his arms and patted his face skillfully. Let the child find the most comfortable place to rest.

"I'm afraid the place where I bought it is crowded with people? Are you hungry?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Hu Min finished speaking, Xiao Yuan hurried up from downstairs. Li Feng looked at her empty hands and asked, "The one who asked you to go shopping, why did you come back empty-handed? It's sold out?"

Xiaoyuan shook her head, and hurriedly said: "Just now, this servant met Mr. Cheng on the way to buy cakes!"

"Mr. Cheng?" Li Feng's recent memory has declined a bit: "Who?"

"Master Cheng Qing."

"Cheng Qing?" Li Feng's eyes widened in surprise. After so many years, there was no news of him, but today he ran into him: "What about others? Can someone come?"

Cheng Qing and Li Feng have been related for a long time. The two are like enemies or friends. They are twins and cherish each other. After what happened that year, Cheng Qing disappeared from the capital. At the beginning, he had many things and he couldn't send him away. This also made Li Feng feel very sorry.

I didn't expect to meet again today. If the two meet, I don't know if it will be another scene.

"No, my servant saw that he was in a hurry, so I didn't bother him if there was something to do." Xiao Yuan said, "Do you want my servant to ask Mr. Cheng to come over?"

"No need, if we meet, I can still say a few words, so I'm afraid it would be embarrassing to invite him over." Li Feng teased the child in Hu Min's arms, and said with a smile: "Since we are destined to meet each other in the future, we won't be able to reminisce about the old days." Chi, Joan, don't you think so?"

Hu Qiaoan just giggled, completely unaware of what his father was talking about.

When Cheng Qing returned to the place where the carriage was parked, Xiaoyun had also arrived, Xiaoyun took what Cheng Qing was holding and put it on the carriage, and the two returned to Wangjiacun.

As soon as Cheng Qing got home, he planned to plant the saplings first. He dug up the soil first, then put the saplings down, watered some water, closed the soil, and used a shovel to beat the soil around the saplings tightly. It wasn't until the sapling stood upright that Cheng Qing put down the shovel contentedly.

Once finished, Xiaoyun poured the bath water for Cheng Qing and asked Cheng Qing to wash off all the dirt on his body. After Cheng Qing finished washing, Xiaoyun told Cheng Qing that the chief had returned a moment earlier.

"Then let's visit after dinner in the afternoon."

"Okay." Xiaoyun nodded: "Master, lunch is ready, we can eat now."

After the two had lunch, they hurriedly brought gifts and went to visit the head of the village.

Aside from getting to know the head of the village, Cheng Qing really wanted to ask if there was any land in Wangjia Village that he could use to plant.

"By the way, you take the pastry I bought with you. The Li Chang's house is close to Wang Xiaoshan's house. You can send it to the child when the time comes."

"Eh……"
