Chapter 265 Extra Story: Let's Farm Together(1/2)

Don’t laugh, from then on, she was in charge of her husband, and at home, she was in charge of her husband, and outside, the husband was the parents, the county magistrate now, and the people of Sanyang County were in charge of the people. From then on, Sanyang County became her place. She could open her clinic with peace of mind, earn her money, and live a happy life.

However, the facts are not as simple as Mo Xiao thought.

Sanyang County suddenly became a holy place for retirement, especially for royal aristocrats.

The Supreme Emperor of Xiniu Kingdom, thousands of miles away, brought the Empress Dowager to Sanyang County, bought a big house next to the county government, and then planted a few fields on the mountain behind the county government, which was called to accompany the grandson. In fact, he was hiding from the Xiniu courtiers who discovered that he had recovered from the dead and crossed the border to live an undisturbed life in his later years.

On the other hand, Hua Shun, the emperor in Beixuanjing City, heard the news. Hua Shun, who had already retreated to the second line, also had the same troubles as Old Man Meng. He lived in or near the palace, but he couldn't retreat cleanly. So, Hua Shun packed his wife and concubine together, drove a carriage and joined his son. On the other side of the county government, Hua Shun also bought a big house and looked across the county government from Old Man Meng. At the same time, he planted a few fields on the mountain behind the county government.

The aristocratic farming trend in the northern Xuan and western Niu countries has become popular since then.

On a sunny day, Mo Xiao was in the Mo Family Hospital, and the flower scenery was in the Mingtang of the county yamen. The Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine were leading their grandchildren and jumping on the grid in the county yamen courtyard.

Hua Shun carried Zhuo Zhen, a five-year-old man, to the mountain early in the morning, to farm.

"Grandpa, from now on, I will accompany you to farm every day." A sweet voice of Zhu Zhen sounded on Huashun's back.

"Okay, Zhuo Zhen is accompanying grandpa to farm, and grandpa is even happier." Hua Shun was so beautiful that her beard was about to blow up.

"Then grandpa can't think that Zhuo Zhen is young and cannot work, and he can't think that Zhuo Zhen is a troublesome spirit." Zhuo Zhen said sweetly again.

"How could grandpa think Zhuo Zhen? Zhuo Zhen is the sharpest heart of grandpa." Hua Shun strode over the hurdle, afraid that Xiao Zhuo Zhen would be swayed, and held her hands tightly.

After walking for a while, the grandfather and grandson finally arrived at their destination.

Hua Shun smiled with relief when she looked at Tian, ​​who was well-managed.

Zhuo Zhen squeezed her eyebrows and was worried.

Hua Shun sat on the fallen tree trunk on the side, rolled up her sleeves, jumped into the field to start the day's work for the farmer. Zhuo Zhen sat on the trunk, shaking her two little feet, but her eyes kept spinning.

"Grandpa, look at you, why did you throw Xiaobai out?"

Zhuo Zhen jumped off the trunk, ran over and picked up a small white worm that Hua Shun had just thrown out of the field, and put it carefully in the palm of her hand.

"Xiaobai grew up and wanted to turn into a butterfly. I'm still waiting to see Xiaobai transform. How could grandpa throw it away cruelly?" Zhuo Zhen pouted.

"Zhuo Zhen, this is a pest. If you don't throw it out, it will eat vegetables." The Supreme Emperor Huashun patiently explained. Oh, he found that since he started farming and taking care of his grandchildren, his temper has been getting better and better. His voice was so gentle that if it weren't for him, he wouldn't believe it was him.

"But Xiao Huang also eats vegetables, but he also eats meat. Why don't you throw it out?"

Zhuo Zhen is talking about the little yellow dog guarding the door at home.

"That's different. Xiao Huang is the watchdog we raise. Xiao Huang is useful to us. The owner will wag his tail when he comes back, and the bad guy will bark and bite him. Of course, he has to feed it vegetables and meat, but this pest is useless to us. He will only compete with us for food, and he has no contribution." Huashun popularized the difference between pests and pets.

"Oh, oh! Grandpa discriminates against soul workers, I want to tell my mother. My mother said that beautiful things can make people pleasing to the eye, and even without productivity, they will contribute to society. Just like the beautiful and good at performing, the flower girl who can't farm and see a doctor, she can make us feel happy when listening to opera. The same is true for Xiaobai. When it grows up, it is a beautiful butterfly, flying around, and my mother also said that although butterflies can't make honey, they can pollinate and are considered beneficial insects." Zhuo Zhen also taught a biology class to his grandfather with a narrow knowledge.

Hua Shun was confused. What is the soul worker? What is the meaning of productivity? Fortunately, the little insect with flesh just now is sure that it can turn into a butterfly after growing up?

However, if the young granddaughter wants to complain to his daughter-in-law, he can only compromise. Who doesn’t know that Sanyang County is the final decision, and his daughter-in-law only listens to Zhuo Zhen. He, the emperor, can also make the decision except for his own acre of three-part land, and everything else must be listened to his son and daughter-in-law, because he found that he seemed to be really old, and he seemed to be a little confused about many things his son and daughter-in-law said. Now, he can’t even understand Zhuo Zhen’s words. It seems that he has to learn quickly, otherwise he will be disliked by his granddaughter and have no common language to say.

"Okay, don't catch insects. Anyway, there are many vegetables grown, so it's nothing to eat." Flowers obey and good, just pick the grass if you don't catch insects, so they pulled a handful of grass and threw it out.

"Grandpa, why did you throw away the precious medicinal herbs?" Zhuo Zhen had an objection again.

"Ah, grandpa is placing weeds, not medicinal materials. Weeds grow with crops and will rob the nutrients of the crops and make the crops grow badly." Hua Shun has asked experienced farmers for advice, absolutely right. Hua Shun said it straightforwardly and vigorously.

"No, right." Zhuo Zhen waved his hand, "Grandpa, you just removed the white-headed man, not the weed. White-headed man, a perennial herb of the Anemone family, has rhizomes, ovate leaves, and blue-purple calyx, which treats heat, toxins, bloody dysentery, warm malaria, cold and heat, epistaxis, and bloody hemorrhoids."

Zhuo Zhen shook her little head and showed off the relevant information she heard from her mother. Fortunately, she had memorized the paragraph about Baitou Weng. If she encountered other medicinal herbs, she wouldn't be able to memorize it.

Hua Shun smiled, "But grandpa has reclaimed this field for growing corn, not planning to grow white-headed men. We can't let this white-headed men lose the title."

Zhuo Zhen shook her head again, "Grandpa is wrong again. The four words "stop the main" can be used, but the guest of honors that grandpa thinks are going to fall off. The white-headed man is the master here, and the corn you planted is the guest. Before you planted corn, the white-headed man had grown here well. Without saying a word, you let the oxen pears fall into the ground, turn the soil, sow corn seedlings again, destroy a large area of ​​white-headed man who was originally growing well. He was disrespectful to the master. It is rare that the white-headed man has tenacious life and has grown from your corn seedlings again, but you have to urge them to trash them for the second time. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

After Zhuo Zhen finished speaking, her eyes were full of tears, looking at Hua Shun as if she was looking at the bad guy.

Hua Shun suddenly felt that he had committed some unforgivable crime. "Little Zhuozhen, don't cry, can't grandpa do it without placing the grass? Let them live in peace and have a harmonious host and guest. This is enough."

"Well, grandpa, you swear that you will not bully Xiaobai and Dabai in the future."

Xiaobai is a caterpillar, and Dabai is a white-headed man.

"Okay, grandpa won't bully them. They can grow as much as they want, and eat vegetables when they want. I swear." Hua Shun raised her hand seriously and really sweared.

Zhuo Zhen was satisfied now.

Hua Shun shrugged. It seemed that the field he planted was going to go with the flow, and this time, the old man Xiniu won.

Since he started farming, he has been competing with Old Man Meng, who is also the Supreme Emperor opposite the valley, to compete for who has planted the best harvest. However, if Zhuo Zhen makes such a trouble, he will definitely lose.

"Hahaha, then there is no need to weed or catch insects today. Grandpa takes Xiao Zhuozhen to pick fruits."

What’s the point of winning or losing? The most important thing is to be happy with your baby granddaughter.

Hua Shun picked up Xiao Zhuozhen and sat on his shoulder, then left his cornfield and went to the orchard.

In the orchard, Huashun met his mortal enemy. Old Man Meng, who should have worked hard in the fields opposite the valley at this time.

Hua Shun was upset when she saw Old Man Meng, because he had foreseen that he would lose the bet with him. Now, his beautiful beard could not be saved.

"Hey, Old Man Meng, why are you here too? Don't you want to beat me? This should be the right thing to snatch grass and catch insects in the field." Hua Shun's face was not unhappy at all, and she asked at Old Man Meng who was sitting and napping.

Old Man Meng, who was sitting under a pear tree, pointed to the pear tree above his head, "Here I'm here with my grandson."

"Zhuo Zhen, look, I'm picking pears for you. This pear is so juicy that you like to eat."

Meng He on the tree showed a head from the thick branches and leaves, and shouted happily at Zhuo Zhen.

"Oh, you are so heavy, be careful to break the branches." Zhuo Zhen was unhappy at all. If Uncle Tang Zhongchun picked pears, he would have leaped gently, not as stupid as Meng He.

"No, I have good martial arts skills, climbing a tree is a trivial matter."

Meng He was originally worried that he would fall down if he broke the branch, but now Zhuo Zhen is here, he must pick the largest pear in front of her.

Meng He was almost at the sight of his hand, but why did he feel like he was tilting suddenly?

With a click, the branches that had been strong for a few seconds finally broke and Meng He fell to the ground.

"Oh, I'm so stupid!" Zhuo Zhen rolled her eyes.

Falling at this height will only make your butt hurt, so no one is worried, but they laugh.

Meng He stood up and patted the gray on his body with one hand. Seeing that everyone laughed, he was not annoyed. He shook the big pear in his other hand and said, "It's just a fall, it doesn't hurt anyway, but I picked the pear."

Seeing that Zhuo Zhen was not very rare, he ran over and stuffed the pear into her hand. "This is the first ripe pear on my tree. It must be very sweet in the sun. It will be for you."

Zhuo Zhen looked at the pear in her hand and it looked good, "But there is only one pear, and there are four people here, so there are not enough divisions."

"My mother said, pears cannot be divided. In this way, I'll pick a few more. You can take a few more back to your parents later."

After Meng He finished speaking, he really rushed up to another tree like a monkey.

Seeing that he was far away, Zhuozhen gave Li to Huashun again, "Grandpa, please help me wash it."

Hua Shun naturally wanted to be her granddaughter's little helper, and took the pear and walked towards the stream.

Zhuo Zhen walked to Old Man Meng and sat down.

"Grandpa Meng, I have heard about your bet with my grandpa. Look at how cute the beard you left is. It's a pity to cut it off. I really like your beard, so you have to work hard."

When Old Man Meng heard that Zhuo Zhen was also standing on his side, he was immediately happy. Why didn’t his grandson stand on his side? He always came out to disturb him when he was about to add fire and fertilize. He asked him to fish today and hunt birds tomorrow, so that he could not farm well.

"Well, Xiao Zhuozhen is still good. She doesn't look like that cowboy, she knows that it affects my farming." Old Man Meng touched his proud mustache and was very proud. Zhuozhen helped him, and he had already won the round of Old Man Hua.

After a while, Huashun came back with the washed pears and picked two bunches of wild lilies.

"It's so sour, is this your wife or a concubine when you go back?" Old Man Meng didn't blame Bei Xuanren for his hypocrisy. He always brought a wild boar when he went back. That one was so real. Unlike this old man, who had two light bouquets of flowers, he could not eat or drink.

"What's wrong with the flowers? Women like them, Xiao Zhuozhen said, flowers make us feel happy, but they are much happier than eating wild boar meat." Hua Shun.

Zhuo Zhen also saw the wild lilies in Huashun's hand. Her head tilted. Hehe, her mother also likes wild lilies, so she also went to pick a bunch. Thinking of this, she ignored the two old men who shut up and Meng He who was still picking fruits from the tree, and walked to the stream.

When the three men reacted, there was no trace of burnt Zhen. Meng He poured the pear in his arms onto his grandfather and went to find his wife.

*

In September, it is time to pick the corn in the two corn fields.

Jin took Xu and pulled a bamboo basket to go to the field to harvest.

On another mountain, the empress dowager of the Meng family also brought a group of beautiful women wearing brocade clothes and jade belts, happily climbing up the mountain as if to a wedding banquet, preparing to harvest.

Today is a matter of whether the old men from each family are still alive. This is a matter of concern for the face of Beixuan and Xiniu, and it is of great importance.

As witnesses from both sides, Zhuo Zhen and Hua Jingkai and Mo Xiao went to Old Man Meng's land, while Meng He and Meng Xia were in Huashun's land.

Both groups of people took a breath after seeing the corn in their own fields.

"Zhuo Zhen, you're sure this is Grandpa Meng's land." Hua Jingkai couldn't believe that even if he didn't distinguish between grains and was not diligent in all four bodies, it was already related to the competition. The Supreme Emperor of the Meng family wouldn't be so unreliable.

"I've been here many times, and every time I come, I urge him to water and fertilize. Dad, look, that plant, and that plant, isn't it just corn, it's all bearded and can be picked."

When the beautiful women on the side heard Zhuo Zhen say this, their eyes followed their expectations. Hey, it seemed that one or two different plants emerged from the weeds, with long poles, and something with yellow beards in the middle, which was probably the legendary corn.

Immediately, a few younger ones ran over to break up regardless of the dirt and were tired. They broke up into their hands and danced with excitement at the harvest in their hands, and the Empress Dowager at the edge of the terrier of the fields signaled their amazing contributions to the honor of Xiniu.

Mo Xiao smiled and reported the numbers aside.

“One, two, three,… six.”

Even half of the one bitten by the insect was put into the basket to charge. After a long time, no one made any new discoveries.

"You are going to lose now." Mo Xiao, who knew the inside story, whispered in Zhuo Zhen's ear.
