"What kind of fruit seedlings? Plant fruits when you have enough food. Can fruits be eaten as food?"
An Lai walked back cursing. She was in a bad mood these past few days. Whenever An Shunde went out, she would stay away from home for several days. She couldn't find anyone when she looked for her. She would look coldly at him after saying a few words. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but
She just suspected that her parents-in-law had said something to him again.
I never expected that the man was looking for a woman outside, and she was already four months pregnant with the child. Things were about to get exposed, so how could he give her a good look? I was also troubled.
Qiao Lian'er is almost pregnant now. She is a widow with a big belly. This is a matter of soaking in a pig cage. She is crying and howling every day and is trying to think of a solution. Now she is sitting at the same table with her family to eat.
Fear.
Although Xia Qiyue has known about the two people's affairs for a long time, she has never said anything to meddle in their own business. Firstly, Qiao Lian'er is a widow and has not cheated on her eldest brother An Sijin. Secondly, she doesn't have the time to care about others.
.
When she arrived at the patriarch's house, the treatment was completely different. An Wang and Liu Jiajia helped her in. They helped her sit down on the kang after laying a thick blanket on it, and brought her sugar water and cakes.
come out.
"Auntie, Jiajia, please stop being busy. I just finished eating and I can't eat anything. You'd better come over and sit down quickly, have a chat, and let me give little Hanhan a hug."
Hanhan is An Youwei's daughter. She is seven months old. She is a small, soft and waxy baby who can already sit up. When you see her, she smiles with her teeth bared. She only has four baby teeth. She is so cute.
Xia Qiyue was not involved in Xuan'er and Ke'er's childhood. Although she has the memories of the original owner, they are all bad. The two children have not had enough to eat since they were young, so they are not as fair and round as Xiao Hanhan.
Pass.
Although she has recovered now, Xuan'er is still in poor health. She will fall ill at the slightest sign of trouble, which is the root of her illness since she was a child.
"Sister Qiyue, your legs are healing very quickly. You can no longer see any lameness when you walk!"
Liu Jiajia sat next to Xia Qiyue with a smile. Ever since the incident after giving birth, Liu Jiajia's temperament had improved and she would no longer get into trouble for no reason.
"Yeah, it's much better. The damage wasn't too serious. Otherwise, how could I have cared so quickly..." Xia Qiyue responded to Liu Jiajia's words and had already picked up the little guy sitting on the kang to tease him.
"I was scared to death when I heard it. It wasn't serious. Weren't you unable to get off the ground at that time?" Liu Jiajia felt distressed and touched Xia Qiyue's thigh, but the next second she covered her mouth and retched.
Run outside.
Xia Qiyue raised her head and looked over, "Auntie, is Jiajia pregnant again?"
Mrs. An Wang nodded with a satisfied smile on her face, "Yes, it's been two months, but this time I'm vomiting so much that I can't eat anything good."
Xia Qiyue was also happy for Liu Jiajia. Although the conditions were difficult, she was in good health and became pregnant again so soon. Although she did not favor sons over daughters, she also hoped that she would have both children.
A few people talked for a while, and then the patriarch came back from the fields with his three sons. The patriarch's family had many boys, and they were allotted a lot of land. An Youde worked at Xia Qiyue's place again, and his daughter-in-law became pregnant again.
Wang couldn't work in the fields, so the land reclamation was completed later than others.
When he saw Xia Qiyue when he entered the door, his sons all said hello. One of his father-in-laws was too embarrassed to come into the daughter-in-law's room, so Lu'er pushed Xia Qiyue to the couple's room.
"Girl Qiyue, how are your legs? Are you feeling better?" The patriarch first cared about Xia Qiyue's legs as soon as he saw her. "
"Uncle Patriarch, don't worry. My legs can already walk on the ground. It will hurt if I walk too much. Has the land in my uncle's house been cleared?"
"It's completely completed today. It's already the beginning of June. I wonder if I can get a harvest from planting food now... Sigh! Sit on the kang, little girl!"
The clan leader sighed and asked Xia Qiyue to sit down.
"Isn't that right? I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. The land is divided so late, and these people are still waiting to live on the land!"
Wang An's complaint.
"Uncle, Auntie, that's why I'm here today. I have a kind of fruit seedling in my hand. This fruit can survive drought and doesn't require high soil quality. To be honest, I bought it from merchants from the Western Regions.
I was given seedlings for seeds and fruits, and I have to plant them before it freezes, so I came here to tell you that if there is anyone in the village who is willing to plant them, they can go to my place and ask for fruit seedlings to plant!"
The patriarch and Wang An were moved when they heard this. They both looked at each other at the same time. The patriarch said, "Girl in July, your fruit is something we don't have in Dongchu, right?"
Xia Qiyue did not say anything absolutely, "I have indeed never seen it in Jiuli Town. Merchants from the Western Regions also said that this is a unique fruit there!"
"Okay, leave this matter to my uncle. He will go and talk to the villagers soon. It's you, girl, you can always think of the big guys!"
"Yes, there was no time when Girl Qiyue came forward to help solve the problem. If it hadn't been for Girl Qiyue, who would have known that our people in Shanbei Zhuangzi would have come here alive?" Mrs. An and Wang also agreed.
Xia Qiyue shook her head, "Don't talk about uncle and aunt like that, you guys are helping me too!"
Everything is mutual, she can help everyone a little without exposing her space, and she won't close her eyes and make a fortune.
"That's all as it should be. You're too kind-hearted because you spent so much money on me!" Mrs. An said in disapproval.
"Girl in July, how do you calculate money for these fruit seedlings? Our family has just finished clearing land, and we have a total of fifteen acres of land. Why don't we all plant these fruits? If we sell the fruits, we can exchange them for money to buy food, right?"
Xia Qiyue thought for a while, "Well, uncle, I will recycle the harvest when the time comes. I won't take money from those who are willing to sell it to me. I will collect it at a penny per catty. If you don't want to sell it to me, I will sell it myself."
Just sell a seedling for a penny! Even though the price of grain is not as high as what I harvest, the yield of this fruit is quite high!"
The clan leader and the Anwang family both said that they believed her words, and if they could guarantee the recovery, who would be willing to take the risk and sell them themselves? It would still cost money to buy seedlings.
"Girl in Qiyue, our family farms fifteen acres of land. I believe you won't lose money on what you do, hahaha..." The patriarch, in a rare moment of cheerfulness, laughed and was the first to order fifteen acres of land with Xia Qiyue.
of.
"Okay, uncle, then I'll leave this matter to you. When I went to find Li Zheng just now, I found that he was not at home. There may be many things to do, so I can only trouble you!"
"It's okay, just leave it to your uncle, don't worry!" Mrs. An assured her old man by patting Xia Qiyue's back.
And Li Zheng'an Shunde, who Xia Qiyue said was extremely busy, was currently in a small inn, coaxing a crying little woman.
Qiao Lian'er's belly was already showing her pregnancy, and she had gained weight. Today, An Shunde secretly took her out of the fields to buy new clothes. The two of them came to the inn to talk, for fear of being recognized by acquaintances again.
