Chapter 175 Farewell

On the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, the rice fields that have been drying for three days are finally ready for harvest.

Fortunately, there weren't many things, so it only took one day to tidy them up.

Seeing the fruits of the harvest, Qin Zhiyi was happier than anyone else.

Because fish are raised in the rice fields and fertilizers are supplied, the seeds harvested this time are plump.

But these seeds are still much worse than modern seeds. For example, each ear of rice is not as dense as modern rice, so the yield is not as good as modern rice.

After harvesting, she selected the ears with the most rice and saved them as seeds for next year, hoping to cultivate better varieties year after year.

When the two little guys saw the ears of rice drying in the yard, they felt very fresh. They squatted by the yard, holding the ears of rice with their little hands, and curiously began to peel them one by one. They just wanted to know that there were some rough hands in this layer.

What exactly is wrapped in the seed?

Qin Zhiyi was also happy for them to touch it, and she was not afraid of them wasting food. Anyway, she taught them that every seed is hard work. If the seeds fall on the ground, they can just pick them up.

In the past few days, she had seen Qin Zichang wandering on the road in front of the courtyard several times.

She just pretended not to see him, even if he looked in her direction several times, she just looked away lightly.

People like Qin Zichang can hide as far away as possible.

Now that she finally had an excuse to clear up the relationship with him, how could she possibly talk to him again?

I asked my eldest brother, second brother and third sister-in-law to come over for dinner.

The third brother had already packed his bags and left for the exam two days ago. The rural exam is in August of the lunar calendar, the conference exam is in February of the lunar calendar, and the palace exam is in March. If this journey goes smoothly, it will take more than half a year, and the only thing left at home is

Third sister-in-law and two children.

Now that she had harvested the rice, she planned to leave for the city early tomorrow morning, so she called a few brothers over to explain what happened after she left.

Fei Chengsheng helped her and cooked dinner together.

The fish that had been dried before was already very dry after only two days of drying.

Dried fish must be soaked in warm water before being eaten.

The fish after soaking is a little different from fresh fish, but the taste is not much different after it is cooked.

Because it has been pickled, there is no need to add seasonings after soaking. Instead, it is wrapped in a layer of flour and fried in a pot.

The fried fish looks golden and crispy. During this period, they also collected a lot of loaches and eels. These are easier to feed. Just put them in a big basin and pour some water. It will not be a problem to keep them for three to five days.

Since she was about to leave, she was not polite and fished out a few more eels and asked Fei Chengsheng to cut them into sections, marinate them and stir-fry them directly.

She found that both the children and herself found the stir-fried eel to be more delicious.

I'm sure I'll bring it back to the restaurant when the time comes, and it will definitely be popular.

A large table of dishes was ready, and the brothers and sisters-in-law had just finished their work.

The vegetables and chickens, ducks and geese they collected were already piled in the yard. A large table of people gathered around to eat. She just said that she would leave tomorrow morning. Several little ones started crying and hugged her one by one.

legs, shouting not to let them go.

"Auntie, can you please not leave?"

"Auntie, why don't you stay here for a while longer? When will you come back next time after you leave?"

"Aunt, Aru can't bear to leave you..."

Several little ones cried together. Erni stood aside and listened to the crying of her brothers and sisters. Her little mouth tightened and she started crying too.

The one who cried the most was Aru. Aru hugged her legs and cried hard.

She knew that because of Qin Zichang, these children's families had become financially strapped and their lives were difficult.

If she hadn't come, they probably wouldn't have even eaten the candy cakes.

She touched Aru's little face and said, "My aunt went to the city to see the restaurant business and brought these things back. This is my aunt's home after all. I will definitely come back again."

Aru sniffed, looked at her with big eyes and asked: "Really?"

Qin Zhiyi nodded: "Really."

Aru gradually stopped crying, but several other eye circles were still red.

Even Xue Chunhua's nose was a little red at this time. She looked at her and asked, "Why are you coming back and leaving again? I thought you had to stay longer."

Qin Zhiyi said: "Today is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm thinking that the restaurant is not only about cooking, but also making mooncakes and the like, which can also be sold during the festival."

After hearing this, the sister-in-law reacted: "Is it the Mid-Autumn Festival? So soon... In a few months, another year will pass."

Qin Zhiyi smiled and said to Zhang Qiaoniang and Liu Zhaodi: "Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, and we won't bring so many things. You can just keep them for use. After we leave, you can put the things away."

I've moved here and can just live there. I just need your help to take care of the rice, chickens and ducks in my yard."

Liu Zhaodi immediately said: "It's just polite to say that to me. Don't worry, I'll keep all the chickens and ducks at home fat for you."

Of course she was relieved that the third sister-in-law was doing her job, so she looked at the second sister-in-law: "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law lives close to you, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Qiaoniang nodded and said nothing. Qin Erniu patted his chest and said, "Little sister, leave the family to me, so you can rest assured."

After the family finished eating, it was almost dark.

The sister-in-law helped clear away the dishes, while she and Fei Chengsheng began to pack the things they would take away tomorrow.

The chickens and ducks collected in the yard were all tied up with ropes on their legs and wings and placed in the woodshed.

The collected vegetables were also neatly bundled and piled inside.

Other than that, they just need to pack some of the things they brought, such as grain, meat, vegetables, etc., and leave them for the brothers to eat. All they need to pack is a change of clothes.

After finishing everything, it was completely dark.

When she was sleeping at night, Erni hugged her tightly, put her little head on her arm, and softly shouted: "Aniang~"

"Well, grandma is here."

Erni whispered again: "Erni likes A Niang the most."

She didn't know why the little girl suddenly said this, but when faced with her child's love, she would accept it without hesitation.

He kissed the little girl's face again and then said, "Good boy, go to sleep. We have to drive home early tomorrow morning."

Yes, go home.

Before she knew it, she had completely regarded it as her home.

The next day it was bright and clear, and Qin Zhiyi had already gotten up.

She originally wanted to get up early to boil some water for the children to wash, but when she got up, she saw that there was already a fire in the kitchen.

When she got closer, she saw that it was Fei Chengsheng who was boiling water.

Seeing her getting up, Fei Chengsheng said: "I've almost boiled the water. If you want to wash up, it's better to use hot water."

She responded, feeling warm in her heart.

Although Fei Chengsheng didn't talk much, he didn't miss anything he needed to do.

"Then I'll wake up the two children and let's set off after washing up."
Chapter completed!
