no one inherited the family business. Er Niu wants to be adopted under his uncle's name, so that in the future, his parents will rely on him instead of his elder brother. Since he came here, it means...The village head wore a large straw hat, and even his only free arm didn't have time to wave the pipe.

He was also carrying a bucket and kept stopping to shout at the villagers, “Come on everyone, put in more effort! We can finish watering all the melon patches today!”

“Others fear drought, but we don't! We've faced worse droughts in QingShui Village before, and we made it through just fine!”

"Haha, got it, village chief!" A man wiped a bead of sweat from his brow and smiled brightly. "We're not watering with water, but gold ingots! The drier the weather, the sweeter the melons! This year we'll definitely be rich again!"

The onlookers laughed along too. One woman cried out, “If we split the silver again this year, my family will finally be able to afford a daughter-in-law!”

"My house is the same, haha! We're not watering with water, but with our daughters-in-law and fat grandsons!" Another woman also said with a smile, and finally she raised her feet and looked at the big tree under her head.

There was a straw mat laid out, and Auntie Wu was watching over Huai's twins.

The dragon and phoenix twins are just starting to sit up. They only wear a belly wrap and shorts, round and chubby like little meatballs. Anyone who sees them can't help but love them.

Especially older women, who would wish that they could have two such chubby babies in a blink of an eye!

Huiniang also wore a straw hat and watered the plants with the villagers.

A woman asked, "Huitang, your brother Da Yong has been gone for two months now. Has there been any news from him"

Hui'niang laughed and said, "Yes, I heard they won many battles and are probably coming back soon."

"That's great, this year I raised a few more chickens. When Lord Hou and the others return, we'll kill them directly and stew them in a big pot. It will also add a dish to the celebration banquet!" The woman said with a chuckle, causing several familiar companions to laugh.

Then one young daughter-in-law said, "Oh my, it's rare to see sister-in-law so generous today! Before, she almost broke my head over a single egg. Now it seems she has really changed!"

The woman blushed and said reproachfully, "It wasn't easy in those days! Back then, a single egg could be traded for a handful of salt, enough to feed our family several meals! Now that life is easier, of course we can afford to be generous.

"

"Li Shini said, 'When doing things, be more generous and don't be petty. Let's all get along well, then our lives will be better, and the road to wealth will be wider!'"

"Li Shanni said right," the women all nodded in agreement.

Someone then followed up, "I saw your wife taking Funiang out this morning in a carriage. Is she going to Lu'an again"

“Yes,” Hui-niang responded this time, “Jia-ren is about to take the examination for scholar, and Auntie must go and have a look. But the village is busy watering the melon seedlings, and Auntie couldn't bear to leave. She only finally agreed today, after Hongying and I persuaded her.”

"Oh dear, we didn't know about this!" a woman cried, "If we had known, we would have advised your mother to leave long ago. These chores in the village are small matters, but for Jia Ren to take the imperial examinations is a big deal!"

“That’s right, Jiarren is so smart and hardworking. This time he took the exam for Xiucai, it's definitely a sure thing, there's no mistake!”

"I heard that Jarin is now quite well-known even in Xindu That gentleman who writes with his left hand took him to some poetry gathering, and an official praised the characters he wrote"

"Ask the village head, he knows best!"

"Look at the children in Li's family, they are all so successful! When it comes to our own kids, these mischievous little ones haven't even tried to tear off the roof tiles, and I'm already grateful!"

"That's it, my family member, hits eight times a day, and I don't even get angry!"

The women chatted animatedly while working.

Although everyone complains about their son, they smile brightly on the surface.

Whether a child is good or bad, they are all flesh and blood of their parents!

The village head tapped his aching back twice, put down the bucket, and looked out at the vast melon field with satisfaction.

This is the third time watering, the melon seedlings have not suffered any thirst, and they are growing very well.

The gourd leaves are emerald green, and each leaf holds a gourd the size of a flowerpot, peeking out shyly with half its face. Just looking at it makes your mouth water, and you can't help but want to smash one open and take a big bite!

It has always been that one unit of hard work brings one unit of harvest!

In Dahuaitree Village, Dazhuang and Xiaowangzhuang, they also planted melons and watered them constantly throughout spring and summer.

But the villagers were lazy and when they worked, they compared themselves to each other. It took three village elders shouting until their voices were hoarse before they could finish watering a few mu of land.

Now, their land also bears melons, but unfortunately, compared to those in the new village, they are much smaller and of poorer quality.

Some people say that Xincun is a feng shui treasure land, and the melons grown there are naturally better than those grown elsewhere.

Actually, there's no such thing as a feng shui treasure land!

Even a lazy person sitting in a treasure chest will starve to death, and what outsiders see as a feng shui treasure land is actually painstakingly dug out by the young and old with shovels and hoes...

Under the same scorching sun, Li's carriage finally arrived at the outskirts of Luan Town.

The thirty acres of land I bought several years ago now have twenty acres planted with sorghum and grains, and ten acres reserved for vegetables.

The Wu Laojiu family were all hard-working people. This spring and summer, they wished they could live in the vegetable patch and tend to it meticulously.

From afar, the ridges of the plowed land looked as if they had been drawn by a ruler, straight and even.

One by one, the beans grew as tall as a person. They were swayed by the summer breeze, waving their palm-sized leaves energetically like invitations.

The eggplant seedlings lined up one by one, with the withered leaves at the bottom broken off, making the purplish-black and glossy eggplants even more prominent.

In the vegetable patch, there were squares planted with emerald green bok choy, spinach, cilantro, mustard greens, and red-stemmed radishes. It looked like a beautifully ordered grid of red ink used for calligraphy strokes...

The little girl from the Wu family was tanned like a little charcoal nugget. She carried her sickle out of the house and was about to go to the fields when she saw the Li family's carriage parked by the roadside, so she quickly ran over to pay her respects.

Mrs. Li smiled and wiped the sweat from her brow, chatting idly for a bit. Hearing that Old Wu was delivering food to the canteen, she nodded slightly.

Jia Yin poked her head out the car window and handed a box of pastries to the little girl, saying, “These are horseshoe cookies, just baked fresh at the shop. Take them back to eat.”

The little girl from the Wu family was overjoyed. She took the box and curtsied, blushing as she replied: "You are so kind, Princess. The maidservants from the neighboring houses all envy me! Last time you gave me the pearl hair ribbon, they said it could be sold for dozens of coins. My mother wouldn't let me wear it when she heard!"

Old Li laughed and said, "If you want to wear it, just wear it. You work hard, and when you get married in the future, I'll give you a set of pearl headdresses as a wedding gift. I guarantee you'll be the most beautiful bride!"

The little girl was shy, her face even redder, but her eyes sparkled!

The carriage soon started again, going straight to the back gate of the college dining hall.

Li Laosan heard the commotion and ran out to greet his mother and young niece, smiling with a kind and honest face.

"Mother, it's so hot out here, how did you bear the sun Send me a message, I'll come back and pick you up. I'll leave at midnight and arrive in the morning."

"Li Laotai waved her hand, 'I've been under the sun for most of my life, I'm not that delicate. It's you guys who are busy now, aren't you'

"

Li Laosan was helping his niece onto a stool to get out of the car, and replied: "We are used to this every day, we don't find it busy at all. It's Wenjuan's small business that has been booming these days."

Jiayin was wearing a water-red silk dress today, her hair tied up in two small buns. She couldn't wait to ask, "Third brother, did you bring the passion fruit Have you started selling passion fruit drinks"

Without waiting for her third uncle's response, she flew away like a butterfly to the water-selling hut...

Sorry, babies, I'm late again, I'm ashamed. I was forced to get a haircut today, so I didn't make it in time to update earlier. Here are three chapters for today~~~~rywhere, just intending to die wherever I ended up buried. 。As a result, we ran into your family. And I met you, little girl. 。Your home is poor, but lively and warm. 。You're more like a little cele...
