The three new farms are not large in area, and their geographical location is not as good as that of Zoujiazhuang. They are more than enough to grow Chaotian peppers, and they will all be put to use in the next year at the latest.
One month later it will be time to plant overwintering crops, and winter barley will be planted just in time. When the barley is harvested early next summer, there will be no delay in planting another season of rice.
The overwintering potatoes are temporarily planted in my own field, so that they can be easily taken care of, and if someone does something wrong, they can be informed in time. When more potatoes are harvested next year and there are more potato seeds, the village's fields are not enough, so they can be planted in the village.
Not too late.
The Song family did not announce the purchase of the farm to the outside world. Before leading the whole village to plant potatoes together, there was no harm in keeping a low profile.
Song Xixi's injury has not fully recovered. After she was able to get out of bed, she either stayed at home and read books, or went to the back mountain to seek advice from He Hong and learn the unfamiliar words.
He Hong never shied away. Sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would quote scriptures and talk about things other than books, which suddenly expanded Song Xixi's knowledge.
Just looking at her husband's no longer young face, Song Xixi couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Such a man with both civil and military talents, if he had not been implicated back then, would have had a good future whether in literature or in military affairs.
Being dragged down by his background, he spent decades in the army and even lost an arm. He only managed to get rid of his identity as a criminal. His talents and ambitions were eventually buried.
That evening, when Song Xixi came back from the back mountain, he heard a burst of laughter and laughter in the house. Not only were the three brothers Song Qingshan who had returned from vacation, but also the two brothers Lu Zezhi and Lu Erhu.
As soon as they saw her, Lu Zezhi and Lu Erhu came up to her at the same time: "Xixi!"
Song Xixi asked in surprise: "Why are you back?"
Last year, Fang Xiaocui and Song Ergu formed a partnership and opened a shop in Fengshan Town to engage in tofu business. They paid off Zhao Minglang's debt in just half a year, with a little leftover.
So just after the Lantern Festival, Lu Erhu was sent to school by Fang Xiaocui and his wife. They also rented a house in the town and asked Lu Zezhi to move out of the Song family's tofu shop and live in it with Lu Erhu.
Next year, Lu Zezhi will take part in the childbirth examination. His master has high hopes for him and gives him a little help every day. He himself also studies harder and harder, and will stay in the town to study during the ten-day holiday.
Influenced by his brother, Lu Erhu consciously stayed in the town to wash and cook, and tidied everything up, just so that his brother could sleep for a while longer.
Therefore, Song Xixi had not seen their brothers for almost two months, so she was so surprised when they all appeared together.
"Are your injuries healed? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Will there be any root causes of the disease?" Lu Zezhi looked at Song Xixi's face carefully. His handsome face was full of worry and concern.
"Xixi, my brother and I only found out about your injury two days ago. I came back to see you right after the holiday." Lu Erhu also circled around Song Xixi, and finally his eyes fell on her right arm: "Does it still hurt?
It hurts!"
Song Xixi gently raised her arm and said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt anymore, and I'll be back to normal in two months."
When Lu Erhu heard this, he slapped his chest: "That's good, that's good. I thought your arm couldn't be healed. I was thinking about how to comfort you along the way so that you wouldn't be sad!"
Song Xixi couldn't help laughing and asked deliberately: "Have you thought about it?"
Lu Erhu nodded fiercely: "Think about it, if your arm really doesn't heal, I will ask my parents to come to your house to propose marriage. When I grow up, I will marry you as my wife and take care of you for the rest of my life. Anyway, I won't dislike you.
your!"
Song Xixi: "..."
There is no need to make such a sacrifice.
"Fuck you, think so beautifully!"
Song Qingbai stood in front of Song Xixi as if facing a formidable enemy: "Don't say that my little sister only has a broken arm. She is lying on the bed with all her limbs, eating, drinking, and defecating. And our brothers and sisters, who's your turn to pick her up?"
Cheap!"
Song Xixi held her forehead: Is this a pure curse on her?
Lu Zezhi and Song Qingshan couldn't stand listening anymore, and each of them pulled their second-rate brother: "Shut up!"
Lu Erhu felt aggrieved: "Brother, you should be on my side and help me!"
Song Qingbai complained loudly: "Brother, we can raise our sister by ourselves, nothing will happen without this guy!"
"Shut up!"
Lu Zezhi and Song Qingshan spoke up again, and both shouted to stop their brother who was getting more and more outrageous.
Song Xixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stood up to smooth things over: "I've said that my arm will be healed in two months. Are you arguing like this in the hope that my arm won't heal?"
Lu Erhu didn't mean that at all, and hurriedly defended: "No, no, I hope you get better soon, and I can take you to the mountains to hunt tigers with you in the future!"
At this point, the boy became even more excited: "My classmates knew that I was a good friend with the tiger-fighting heroine, and their eyes were red with envy. They asked me to bring them to get to know you, hehe~"
Tiger fighting heroine?
Song Xixi's mouth twitched slightly, she really couldn't bear this name.
She had to take action to kill the evil tiger in order to protect the pack of wolves and save the lives of Two Hundred and Five and a handful of hair. She was not doing anything to eliminate harm for the people, so how could she be called a "heroine".
Song Qingbai sneered at Lu Erhu's words: "Hmph, don't bring your classmates to my house. People who came to my house a while ago made my house look like a market, and my little sister couldn't even recover from her injuries."
Lu Erhu muttered: "I'm just talking, and I didn't actually bring anyone here. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Afraid that they would quarrel again, Lu Zezhi and Song Qingshan quickly pulled them away.
After his brother completely shut up, Lu Zezhi had a chance to speak: "Qingshan said you still have internal injuries, are you okay now?"
Song Xixi shook her head: "I don't feel much anymore. A few more days of rest will not cause the root cause of the disease."
Her physique had been modified by the Junior Dali Pill, making her more resistant than ordinary people. Coupled with her young age, her body had its own repair ability, and she recovered from internal injuries faster than she imagined.
Lu Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face.
It was a rare trip for the brothers to come back, so they wanted to spend more time with their father, Lu Dagen, who had stayed at home for a long time. After making sure that Song Xixi was fine, they talked for a while and left.
Only Song Qingbai was still worried about Lu Erhu's words, and warned him with a sense of crisis: "Little sister, Lu Erhu is not good at studying, he just talks and slips away, you must not fall in love with him!"
Song Xixi's head was full of black lines: "I'm only nine years old, and he's a few months older than me. What are you talking about?"
Song Qingbai shouted: "You can get married at the age of fifteen, only a few years away from the age of nine. Anyway, this boy is not worthy of you. Who dares to betroth you to him, I will be the first to refuse!"
Having said that, he did not forget to make an alliance: "Big brother and second brother, you can't agree. Whoever my little sister wants to marry in the future must be approved by us together. The older generation can't believe it."
Song Xixi couldn't stand this kid's nonsense, so she shook her head and went back to the room to take out a book to test Song Qingbai's homework, and successfully made Song Qingbai shut up.
