Chapter 138 Funny Cousins
Li Chengmu looked at the scorching sun outside the house, and immediately had a bitter face. If he had been in Gyeonggi before, he would never have thought of going the way of a general.
It's not because of anything else, just because the generals are leading troops to fight outside, and it's too bitter to come and go in the wind and rain.
"Second cousin, are you serious when you say this?"
After hearing what he said, Xia He said with a straight face: "Of course it's serious. Fighting on the battlefield is every man's dream. If you promise me to go to the military camp, I will definitely follow the training and never hold you back."
Xia Hu raised his eyebrows, and said to Xia He: "It is your dream to fight on the battlefield, and your will does not represent all the men in the world. I am quite envious of the life of my cousin Mu, who has no worries about food and clothing since he was born. Countless servants are waiting for you. You have reached the end point that ordinary people can't reach without hard work. Don't you think it makes people envious?"
The other younger brothers and sisters all nodded in agreement. They were just the opposite. They were forced by their parents to learn literature and martial arts skills from birth. All their efforts were only for the future when they grew up to be able to earn a living and support their family.
People are more popular than dead people!
Li Chengmu didn't understand their thoughts at all, he felt that apart from his background, he had nothing else to envy.
He gets up every day and is still forced to exercise his body, just to live longer in the troubled times that follow.
In the past, in Gyeonggi, I also had to study from dawn to dusk every day. Apart from sleeping, I was either on the way to the academy or attending classes in the academy. How could I have much time to waste my time.
Xia Hu approached Li Chengmu, and acted very close to him, "Cousin Mu, do you know? I like the feeling of making money since I was a child. When I was in school, I used to sell small toys and accessories to my classmates. This in and out, can earn a lot of copper every time."
After hearing what his younger brother said, Xia He talked about his past embarrassment, "Cousin Mu, you don't know, he used to be very hateful when he was a child, every time he earned some copper coins, he would shake his purse to listen to the copper coins before going to bed, not only noisy When I went to bed, I talked about him, but he retorted: "The sound of copper plates is so pleasant, why don't you like listening to it?"
"Haha." This was the first time Li Chengmu heard the funny stories of ordinary boys when they were young, and he couldn't help laughing for a while.
After finally stopping his smile, he asked Xia Hu, "Third Cousin, what were you thinking at that time? Why do you have to shake the copper coin before going to bed?"
Xia Hu rolled his eyes at Xia He, sighed, and said, "Cousin Mu, you don't know how uncomfortable it is not to hear the sound of the copper plate, that feeling of scratching your heart and lungs is the kind of feeling that you have grown up in rich clothes and rich food. People can’t understand it. I only need to hear the sound of the copper plate to fall asleep at night, or I just toss and turn so I can’t sleep well.”
"Haha." Li Chengmu laughed out loud, disregarding his image.
After hearing Xia Hu's words, Xia He couldn't laugh or cry: "The sound of the copper plate can still hypnotize you!"
Xia Hu scratched his head, and smiled shyly: "That's right."
Xia Hua, who is only six years old this year, sat on the sidelines and stared at everyone chatting, but she didn't understand a word of what the brothers were chatting.
It was hard to understand a sentence, it seemed to be about sleeping.
She quickly slid down from the chair, lay on Xia Hu's lap, and asked with big sparkling eyes: "Third brother, do you dream of making a lot of money when you sleep at night?"
Xia Hu fished Xia Hua lying on his lap onto his lap, smiled and nodded, "I dreamed about it."
Xia Hua is the second uncle's youngest daughter, and the only girl in the Xia family's generation. The brothers above dote on her very much.
Xia Hua tried hard for a while, and under the eyes of her brothers expecting what she would say, she asked, "Then third brother, does he dream of peeing at night when he sleeps, but he can't find a place to pee? In the end, I finally found a place to pee, but suddenly woke up."
"Woke up and found that he was peeing all over the bed, didn't he?" Xia Hu took over the conversation happily.
"Ah!" Xia Hua covered her small mouth, and pointed at Xia Hu in surprise, "It turns out that the third brother also wet the bed!"
"."
A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves outside the house fluttered and danced.
"Pfft! Hahaha."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Especially Xiaba from the second room, couldn't help laughing and patted the table.
He pointed at Xiahu, smiled without image, and asked: "Haha. So third brother, you also wet the bed! You, you are about to marry a wife and still wet the bed. Does your future wife know?"
Li Chengmu held his stomach and almost laughed out loud, ouch!These cousins of my mother's family are really fun.
He estimated that after this incident, Xia Hu would have a psychological shadow on the bed-wetting incident, and wondered if he would dare to fall asleep on the wedding night?
Xia Hu's face was flushed, he couldn't get angry with his youngest sister, he could only transfer all his anger to Xia Ba.
He glared at Xia Ba angrily: "Shut up! Xia Ba, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will beat you!"
Xia Ba was so frightened by his yelling that he didn't dare to say anything, but he thought in his heart that what he asked was the truth and there was nothing wrong.
Li Chengmu patted Xia Hu on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Tong Yan Wuji, don't take it to heart, as long as we all believe that my cousin has not wet the bed, the little ones say that it can't be true!"
"." Xia Hu turned his head and said word by word: "I thank you, cousin!"
Xia He seemed to hear the sound of gnashing teeth, but he didn't want to touch Xia Hu's sensitive nerves at this time, so don't spray on him then!
Li Chengmu didn't seem to recognize the strangeness of the voice, and waved his hands with a smile, "You're welcome, you're welcome, everyone will forget about this incident today."
Xia He stroked his forehead, Cousin Mu, please don’t bring this up all the time, okay, he’s really worried that the third child will go berserk!
Sure enough, Xia Hu held back his anger and said angrily, "I'm going to urge the boy who cut the melons, but I haven't delivered melons for so long!"
I really can't talk anymore today!
Li Chengmu glanced at the glaring sunlight outside, hesitated for a while, "It's too hot outside, Third Cousin, don't worry, we'll come later."
"It's okay! I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I can stand the sun!"
After Xia Hu's words fell, it was as if the floor tiles on the ground had a grudge against him, and he stomped heavily out of the side hall.
Xia He was sure that he was far away, so he turned around and nodded to Xia Hua and Xia Ba, and shook his head helplessly: "You guys try to avoid your third brother as much as possible during this time."
"Haha. Cough, actually third cousin is not as fragile as you think." Li Chengmu was in a good mood, as if he hadn't intentionally provoked people just now.
Xia Di, who is three years older than Xia Hua, rubbed her sister's hair, and said in a warm voice, "Sister, don't talk about bedwetting in the future, or everyone will know that you have wet the bed, how embarrassing you are! "
Xia Hua giggled, "Understood, Seventh Brother."

Xia's Grange, the hot weather still can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for doing things.
The men and women in the village, the men drove the buffaloes down the paddy field before dawn, and were going to plow the wasteland again, making final preparations for the next rice transplanting.
The women also took advantage of the coolness of the morning and went to the fields one after another, and the fields they went to were seedling fields.
They stooped to pull the seedlings in the paddy fields. Before the men plowed the fields, they had to prepare enough seedlings. After the men plowed the fields, they could plant the seedlings.
As the sun rose slowly, the elders of each family came to the fields with meals to deliver meals to the laborers at home.
When Xia Jing arrived in a carriage, there were many villagers sitting on the side of the road resting and eating.
The villagers who were resting and eating found the two-headed carriage and stood up one after another to make way for the carriage to pass.
Hongmei noticed the situation outside and said with emotion: "These villagers who escaped with us at the beginning really worked hard to live."
Xia Jing glanced outside and said: "The life that the people yearn for at present should be this kind of life without oppression, without being displaced, and living and working in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Perhaps the toil of life in their hearts is not considered hard. A family It is suffering when people cannot be neatly together.”
Xia Jing stopped the carriage, and she got out of the carriage.
The villagers noticed that Xia Jing got out of the carriage and saluted her one after another.
Xia Jing stopped everyone from saluting, looked at the little girl who was eating steamed buns, and asked the family next to her, "You have come to Lingnan, are you used to it in life?"
Yong Gen wiped his mouth, put down the bowl and stood upright, "Back to the princess, life in Lingnan is much better than in our hometown before. If there is anything you are not used to, you are used to it, you are used to it."
As he spoke, he pointed to the steamed bun in his daughter's hand, "Let's just talk about this steamed bun. If the princess hadn't taught everyone to use yeast to ferment flour, who would have thought of yeast if we were so stupid? Maybe we are still eating dead flour pancakes foolishly." .”
Yeast was first used in the kitchen of the mansion. Later, when Xia Jing noticed that the villagers in the farm were still eating dead dough pancakes, she gave them two packs of yeast and taught them to remember to leave a little fermented dough every time. Save it for the next haircut.
Xia Jing nodded with a smile, and looked at their breakfast today, a simple multigrain porridge with steamed buns.
Yong Gen sincerely invited, "Princess, have you had breakfast? If you haven't, I made a lot in the morning, so you can come to my house to have some."
However, it was a bit embarrassing, after all, the food at home was too vulgar in the view of the princess.
Xia Jing chuckled: "Thank you, we came here after breakfast, you eat slowly, don't worry about us, I'll look around."
Yong Gen moved away with a silly smile, "You are busy, you are busy."
Zuo Jiuchuan trotted over in a hurry, wiped off his sweat and said, "I have seen the princess."
Xia Jing nodded. At this time, she noticed that many of the villagers sitting in the fields eating breakfast had washed their hands hastily. There I started to eat in big mouthfuls.
It can be seen that time is tight during the busy farming season, and everyone is starving, so they can only make do with one meal in order to save time.
As she walked forward, she asked, "Are there enough cattle? Have you applied base fertilizer to the newly built paddy fields?"
Zuo Jiuchuan replied truthfully, "All the paddy fields have more or less applied some base fertilizer, but since everything here is newly built, although the fertilizer has been fertilized, there is still a gap in the fertilizer. it has been improved."
"The situation will improve, otherwise the compost pond under the breeding area would not have been built in vain."
Walking all the way to the breeding area, I saw that many paddy fields have been plowed on the road. After the villagers have finished their breakfast, they should be able to start transplanting rice seedlings.
Zuo Jiuchuan looked at the load of rice seedlings, and his brows were knotted with worry. They had never grown rice in the north before.
But this is the first time he has seen this method of transplanting rice seedlings. He specifically consulted the local people in order to be safe, and he knew that rice can be sown in the field with grain seeds.
But the concubine asked him to pull out the good seedlings and then plant them again. Isn't this unnecessary and just looking for trouble?
"Princess, all these seedlings have been pulled out, and the mud on the roots has been washed clean, are they all right?"
The seedlings are delicate, don't lose a lot if you don't survive after planting the seedlings.
Xia Jing gave him a funny look, "Don't worry, just do what I ask, don't worry about this or that."
"That's good." Zuo Jiuchuan's heart sank a little, and he still couldn't completely relax until he saw the seedling come alive.
Passing by a pond, Xia Jing noticed a lot of straight aquatic plants growing beside the pond.
She didn't know this kind of plant, so she asked out of curiosity: "Officer Zuo, what is this kind of plant? I see a lot of it growing by the pond, why don't you get rid of it?"
Zuo Jiuchuan glanced at the plants by the water, and explained: "The locals call this plant a water candle, because it grows in the water, and after forming ears, the ears are a bit like candles, so it got its name."
Xia Jing asked curiously: "Oh, does this plant have other uses?"
Otherwise, how can a good pond tolerate its existence.
Zuo Jiuchuan relaxed, with a smile on his face, "I heard from the locals that this kind of water candle is dried after it is mature, and its fringe is peeled off, and it is a bit like cotton when it is loosened. It can be used as a quilt and pillow. of."
Xia Jing's eyes lit up, "You mean that this kind of water candle can be used as cotton?"
Zuo Jiuchuan had never seen it with his own eyes, but he had only heard it from the local villagers.
Hearing Xia Jing's serious question now, he didn't know how to answer for a while.
He scratched his head, "It should be possible, but there may be no cotton to keep warm, but for the poor, it's better than nothing. The quilt made with this kind of water candle can somewhat keep out the cold."
Xia Jing nodded. Now that she knows a new plant, she will come to see the difference of this plant when it matures.
Zuo Jiuchuan caught a glimpse of a few mulberry trees growing here and there, and asked, "Princess, do we want to plant some more mulberry trees in the mountain stream?"
It is a good suggestion to add mulberry, and Xia Jing has nothing to object to, "You can look at the arrangements for this matter. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are at the top of the list, which shows its importance. If we can have more varieties of farms, we can have more varieties."
In the breeding area, the chickens and ducks will basically grow up in a month or so, and the piglets weigh about to catties. The adult cows have all gone to the fields to plow the fields, and the calves are leisurely wagging their tails in the cowshed.
The mental state of these poultry and livestock is good, which shows that the breeders have spent a lot of thought.
"In another month or so, when the chickens and ducks are out of the cages, the farm will have income."
Zuo Jiuchuan smiled. Since the construction of the farm, he has been investing money in it, and now it will soon produce output, so he can't be happy.
"The Grange has produced products for a long time, but you didn't pay attention to it. In addition to opening up wasteland in the past few months, everyone has collected hemp, twisted it into thread, and then weaved it into sacks. This is the output."
If it wasn't for the busyness of the women, Xia Jing would have to go outside to buy a lot of sacks for the grain when the autumn harvest came.
Now it is done by the women of the farm, which saves a lot of money.
Happy Saturday everyone~
