In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the weather was clear and the air was cool. Lian Man'er got up early and washed it. The girl Jixiang took out two sets of shirts and skirts from the cabinet next to her and asked Lian Man'er which set to wear. After seeing it, Lian Man'er chose the autumn-scented outfit.

At the beginning of this year, they paid for the money to celebrate the anniversary of Mr. Lian. They did not alarm outsiders, but the family members of Lian's surname gathered. After that, Zhang, Lian Man'er, Wulang and Xiaoqi and his son officially gave up on the pretext.

For the mourning of the old man, even the brothers Shuxin had to be mourned for three years, while Zhang, Lian Man'er, Wulang and Xiaoqi only had to be mourned for one year. After the filial piety period, Lian Man'er was finally able to wear some color clothes and some gold and jade jewelry.

Lian Man'er was dressed and came out of the west room, walked out of the door, stood in the corridor and looked at the scenery in the yard, teasing the two thrushes in the bird cage hanging on the corridor.

The pomegranates under the corridor have already produced red fruits, the vine stands are full of flowers, and there are also several pots of jujubes and peppers with a very farm-style flavor. The red fruits are also hanging on the branches.

The birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is another scene of prosperity and harvest. Lian Man'er can't help but smile.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the far door. Lian Man'er looked up and saw Lian Shouxin coming in from outside the yard. Lian Man'er hurriedly greeted him.

"Dad, you went downstairs so early?"

Lian Shouxin wore an indigo-brown pussy jacket, and the soles of the light blue cloth shoes with a layered sole were slightly wet.

"It's nothing, I'll go and see the yard, walk around the road, and take a look at the place." Lian Shouxin said.

The crops in the field have been harvested, and I have been drying and raising the fields these two days while the weather is good. As for the firewood in the field, I am not in a hurry to pull it home. After a few days, the firewood will be dry and then pulled back. It is also convenient to stack it.

Now in Jinyang County, in addition to the hundreds of acres of land in Sanshiliyingzi, there is also the village in Luojia Village. During the past two years, Lian Man'er's family bought two more farms. Because there are many industries such as farms, and in recent years, their subordinates have also cultivated some loyal and capable people, so they arranged the village heads on each farm to be responsible for the affairs of each farm.

The fields, fish ponds, lotus ponds, and vineyards in Sanshiliyingzi also have two managers in charge. One manager is like the heads of the other farms. As for the manager of the vineyard, he is also responsible for making wine.

These people naturally signed a lifelong contract, and even the compensation given to them by Man'er's family was quite generous.

Because the management is in order everywhere, even keeping trust is not necessary to go to the ground. However, his true nature of farmers remains unchanged, and his love for fields and crops has not become weak due to changes in life situations. Not only do he pay attention to everything on the fields at all times, but he also tastes it when harvesting in autumn. When everyone stops him, he also needs to do some work so that he can feel happy.

In Lian Shuixin's words, no matter when it comes, the fields and crops are the foundation of the family. In fact, in this era, there were quite a few people who had such ideas. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many couplets at the door of the family that also had the word "farming and reading".

Fields and crops are not only the foundation of their family, but also the foundation of the people and the country.

Some people also felt a little confused when they saw Lian Shouxin working in the fields, and felt that with his identity and family background, there was no need to do such heavy work. At this time, Lian Shouxin had something to say. He said that the work in the fields was the best work like reading.

"Long live the emperor and the queen go to the field to work every year."

Lian Man'er and his wife laughed secretly when they heard Lian Shouxin say this. When it was early in spring, Mr. Lu told the scene of the emperor and the queen leading all officials to marry the farmer and the village. Lian Shouxin listened to Xiaoqi's letter, and when he met someone to persuade him, he would say such things every time.

The current queen is Chen Jin. She was officially crowned as queen a year after entering the palace.

"Go into the house to wash, it's time to have a meal later." Zhang walked out of the house and said to Lian Shouxin with a smile.

"I'll wash outside here." Lian Shouxin stood in the yard and looked around. All year round, the sky is high and the clouds are light and the harvest season is also his favorite.

"Then you just wash outside." Zhang asked the little girl to bring out a basin of water and watch Lian Shouxin wash his face and hands.

"Wash your feet, I'll change your shoes." Zhang saw that the soles of Lian Shouxin were a little wet, so he hurriedly took out another pair of shoes to let Lian Shouxin change them. Then he asked Lian Shouxin, "When he came in, did you see Xiaoqi and the other three?"

"Look." Lian Shouxin said, "I glanced inside outside the study window. All three children were studying there, and Mr. Qu was there too."

Just as he said this, he heard footsteps at the gate of the yard. Then, he saw Xiaoqi turning the screen wall with Xiaolong and Xiaohu and walking in.

The smile on Zhang's face immediately became a little more.

"You're hungry. I've read this morning's book. Come into the house quickly and dinner will start soon." Zhang said to the three children.

Xiaoqi took Xiaolong and Xiaohu to Lian Shouxin and Zhang, and saluted respectfully, greeted him, and then said hello to Lian Man'er. Two years later, Xiaoqi's height has risen a little higher. Although she is still a little baby fat on her face, she looks like a handsome boy.

Because of the filial piety for Mr. Lian, Xiaoqi did not participate in the Tongsheng Examination last year, but the Tongsheng Examination that he participated in the early this year after studying for a year.

Before taking the exam, Mr. Lu, Mr. Chu and Mr. Qu had both set questions to test Xiaoqi. Several gentlemen were very optimistic about Xiaoqi. Even Shouxin and Zhang also hoped that their son would be successful. As a result, Xiaoqi did not disappoint everyone and won the second place in the Tongsheng Examination in Jinyang County.

The first place is a young man who is over 10 years older than Qi.

Even Shouxin and Zhang couldn't stop laughing, the gentlemen who taught Xiaoqi were quite pleased in private. Xiaoqi's test was so good, on the one hand, because of his own talent and hard work, and on the other hand, it was closely related to the careful teaching of famous teachers. Being able to teach such promising students is also the most enjoyable thing for gentlemen in their lives.

While the gentlemen were happy, they inevitably had stricter requirements for Xiaoqi.

In the past two years, Xiaoqi has not only made great progress in his studies, but also gradually became popular with everyone because of Mr. Qu’s personal teaching. However, his temperament has not changed much. His family is still very lively when he is together. Unlike Wulang, he is always close to others. Lian Man'er once thought secretly that Xiaoqi's relatively relaxed personality may be because of his elder brother and sister.

When the family entered the house, Zhang ordered the meal to be arranged. After everyone washed their hands, they all went to the kang to sit on the kang.

Although it was breakfast, it was very rich. There were various porridges and side dishes on the table. Even Shouxin raised his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish, and then everyone started to turn on their chopsticks.

Xiaoqi, Xiaolong and Xiaohu are all the ages to eat. Although there are rules at the dinner table, they are not restrained. Zhang is by the side and picks up food for the three children from time to time. Seeing them eating delicious food, Zhang is as if he has eaten honey.

After drinking two sips of porridge, Lian Shouxin specially picked a slightly black-colored steamed bun to eat.

"It's delicious, delicious." Lian Shouxin ate most of the steamed buns, and praised them a few times.

At first glance, this kind of steamed bun is made of noodles ground from spring wheat. The taste and taste are worse than the steamed buns on the plate of winter wheat noodles next to it. But even Shouxin likes to eat them.

Lian Man'er pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say anything.

"You can eat it, why are you still like a child?" Zhang smiled from the side.

Even Shuxin didn't speak, but just continued to eat with a smile.

Xiaoqi is now a student of the Imperial College and receives the Imperial College from the county every month. During the New Year holiday, there will be fish and meat. Because winter wheat and spring wheat have been basically popularized in Jinyang County, the Imperial College's Imperial College has also turned into wheat noodles.

Lian Man'er's family naturally has no shortage of this now, but every time she even Shouxin will go and pick it up, and she will also specially remind everyone to cook in the kitchen.

After the meal, I took off the table. At this time, it was not yet time for class in school, so Xiaoqi and others had free time and started to laugh and laugh.

With Xiaoqi as a role model, Xiaolong and Xiaohu are also very hard-working in their studies, and they no longer have the naughty way of quitting school when they first came. Of course, this is due to Mr. Qu's strict restraint, and the bamboo board in Mr. Qu's hand has made great contributions.

When Xiaolong and Xiaohu were naughty, they were caught by Mr. Qu and beaten the board, they cried and howled, and Lian Man'er couldn't help laughing.

Xiaoqi saw Lian Man'er laughing, so he came over.

"Sister, Zhao Huanchen in our school told me yesterday that he caught a yellow bird, which looked so good and sounded nice. I asked him to bring it today. If it was good, I would use a pen to exchange it for him." Xiaoqi said to Lian Man'er with a smile.

The yellow bird, also known as the yellow oriole, has bright feathers and a pleasant voice.

"Sister Man'er, let's make a cage for you. Guan Bao looks better than the previous one." Xiaolong and Xiaohu both rushed to say.

"Okay." Lian Man'er smiled and nodded.

"Sister Man'er, then do you want crickets? We can catch them too." Xiaolong and Xiaohu said again.

"Okay, don't always use your sister Man'er as a guise. That bird is okay, can she fight crickets like you? You all study hard and play less. It's been a few days since you got the teacher's slap." Zhang said deliberately.

Xiaolong and Xiaohu made faces and stopped talking.

After a while, it was time for class. Xiaoqi, Xiaolong and Xiaohu all stood up quickly.

"Study hard and don't make your husband angry." Lian Man'er instructed.
