Time is fast, and the autumn harvest seems to have just begun and ended in a blink of an eye. There is no joy in the autumn harvest. After the people paid the tax, the people felt heavy and had a bad harvest for two consecutive years.

The only thing that makes people happy is that the yield cuts were severe last year, and I was afraid of continuing to go hungry this year, so half of the fields were planted with high-yield sweet potatoes.

During the autumn harvest period, bamboo orchids will visit the orphanage's farm from time to time. There is no need to pay taxes in the orphanage's fields. The harvest is the most common sweet potatoes and potatoes.

There are too many sweet potatoes, and no matter how careful you are when digging, it is inevitable that there will be bad ones. Recently, Zhulan found a woman who can make sweet potato flour and taught her children to make sweet potato flour, etc., and tried to deal with the bad sweet potatoes.

The weather became colder and colder. Zhulan took the eldest and his husband to the village to see the pigs. Zhou Laoda didn't want his mother to see the pigs because it was too dirty, but his mother wanted to see the pigs raised by the children in person. There was no way, so Zhou could only listen to her.

When we arrived at Zhuangzi, Boss Zhou helped his mother, "Mom, be careful."

Zhulan, “I heard that the children clean the pigpen every day, well, it doesn’t taste much.”

Boss Zhou often comes here, and he has the most say. "I clean it every day, I am the most diligent in summer, I will disinfect it once a few days, and the feces will be cleaned out."

"So where is the dirty thing you said."

Boss Zhou choked, "Mom, even if it is cleaned up, the pigpen will be dirty."

Zhulan, “We also came out of the village.”

Boss Zhou muttered, “That’s different.”

I soon arrived at the pigpen. Zhulan frowned. Alas, the carefully raised pigs didn't grow big. They looked more than 130 pounds, but they didn't even get 150 pounds.

When Mr. Zhou saw his mother, he frowned, "Mom, I have raised it well, and the pigs in our farm are about that big."

Zhulan whispered, "When the weather gets cold, kill half of it and replace it with charcoal fire, and keep the rest and eat it slowly. Thank you for a year, and you will be able to raise your body in winter to add some meat."

Boss Zhou wrote down: "Mom, let's go out."

"good."

Li interrupted, "The temperature has dropped now, are you still diligent in laying eggs?"

The manager replied, "I am quite diligent. I can pick up about a hundred eggs every day, keep ten for later every day, and give the rest to the egg flower soup for the children to drink."

Zhulan nodded. A hundred eggs were good. The chickens raised by the children died in the middle of the journey. A batch of chickens were killed in the autumn harvest. Now there are about 200 chickens left. After the autumn harvest, there are fewer insects and they are no longer diligent in laying eggs.

Zhulan took the eldest and his wife to see the children's class again, and went to the cellar to see it. It was full of food, which were the children's future food.

On the way back to the city, Li asked, "Mom, do the orphanage still need to raise funds this year?"

Zhulan shook her head, "If the children do not increase their growth and there is enough food, these children are very good at storing food. They dry vegetables in spring and summer and dry mountain goods. There are a lot of fish dried alone. In addition to the autumn harvest, the food can not only satisfy eight servings of fullness, but also nutritious."

Li, "Eight-point fullness is already very impressive."

Boss Zhou continued: "These children have changed a lot in more than a year. After the chicken can lay eggs, they will not break the eggs. The boys grow taller and the girls have grown stronger."

Zhulan smiled, "All of them are good kids, and they study very seriously."

I thought to myself, when I turned around and opened the warehouse to re-bounce some of the donated old quilts and tried to fill some quilts for the children. The weather was a bit cold this year.

Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was very surprised that Ning Xu came to him, "Why is the Marquis coming?"

"Can you disturb Zhou Hou's job?"

"Not, just an accident you will come."

Ning Xu was all in mind on Xia'er. His most concerned daily life was Xia'er's physical condition. He actually gave him some attention. He was a little flattered?

Ning Xu cleared his throat, "I'll come to find you for your private matters."

"Speaking."

Ning Xu didn't know how to speak, so he organized the speech for a while, "Hey, my nephew in bad health, he begged me for many days. I feel so embarrassed, so I'm so shameless."

Zhou Shuren knew something and said lightly: "Since you know how to drink tea, what if you don't talk about it?"

Ning Xu was blocked and dry, "Don't, since I'm here, I'll say a few words even if I'm shameless."

Zhou Shuren didn't raise his eyelids and lowered his head to make tea. It was cold this day, so it was best to drink hot tea to warm your body.

Ning Xu sighed in his heart. He didn't want to care, but there was no way. The Ning family was the only elder who could manage the affairs. "My niece-in-law is very thoughtful. She doesn't want to make her fortune lose. The imperial physician said that he will live in a few days, and Ning Ming is also pitiful."

Zhou Shuren raised his hand, "If Ning Ming is pitiful, there is nothing in the world."

Ning Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Okay, okay, if you don't say he is pitiful, let's just say that you are a mother's heart. Yu's heart is really bad. He is a good person for his children. He is about to die. He is very kind to say. He is the most concerned about Ning Ming's marriage. Let's tell the truth. If Yu was not going to die, Yu would not dare to think of the Marquis' granddaughter. If she wasn't going to die, she wouldn't be able to control her daughter-in-law. If she married in the future, she would be the housekeeper and the most powerful."

Ning Xu knew what to say could make Zhou Hou moved.

Zhou Shuren was silent, but unfortunately, Yuwen of his family was so lazy that she didn't want to be a housekeeper. She was obviously a very smart girl, but she didn't want to be interested. She was so old and still was lazy.

Ning Xu continued: "Ning Ming is a good child, a child who values ​​friendship and is very responsible. He can be a leader in the future and will take care of the family as a child. It's great for the child to take care of the family."

If it weren't for the child, Ning Zhixiang would have made a big fuss and he wouldn't be willing to interfere more. To put it bluntly, the two nephews and eldest nephew Ning Zhiqi are the most important.

Zhou Shuren pushed the brewed tea and said, "Drink tea."

Ning Xu frowned, then stretched out, "Good tea."

"The prince brought it."

"Prince?"

"Um."

The prince wanted to hear his doubts, but it would not work if he didn't give him good things. Recently, he has collected a lot of good things from the prince and made a small fortune, giving them all to his younger son.

Ning Xu's eyes changed, and he drank tea silently. After the tea was drunk, Shi Chen was about to leave. "Can Hou Zhou give me the right words?"

Zhou Shuren seemed to smile, "I will give you the right words once you come here. There is no reason, it is not. What is the two children? It depends on their fate."

He would not have made a grudge against his granddaughter just because outsiders wanted to get engaged. There is no reason for this.

When Ning Xu came, he knew that it was unlikely to be successful, "Then I will go back first."

"Go slowly."

When he went home from the yamen, Zhou Shuren said what Ning Xu meant, Zhulan, "Yu is really persistent."

"She has plotted herself."

"Yes, by the way, I heard that the queen is sick, isn't it true?"

Zhou Shuren frowned, "I will stay in the palace for a while when I go to court these days, but I haven't heard the news. The emperor has a good expression, so it should be a rumor."
