Chapter 129: Repaying the Kindness to the Jujube Branch6400 words(2/2)

Lin Qiuniang and Mrs. Miao on the side almost laughed to death. If they were not worried about their husband (son) losing face, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would have laughed out loud.

When Qin Xiaoxiao returned to the corner and continued to feed the rabbits, Mr. Qin pointed to the old jujube tree and asked his eldest son: "This jujube tree was not struck to death by lightning, and the fruit it bears can be exchanged for money. Whose credit do you think it is?"

Qin Shan said proudly: "Of course it's Xiaoxiao's credit!"

Mr. Qin nodded: "None of us know whether the cut jujube branches can bear dates like old jujube trees and be sold for money. People who end up buying jujube saplings are almost like gambling. They win because they are lucky, and lose

They can’t blame us; if they win, our family can continue to make money by selling jujube saplings, but if they lose, no one will try to take advantage of our old jujube trees. No matter what the outcome is, it will only be good for our family.”

Qin Shan was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he gave Mr. Qin a thumbs up: "The old saying is true, ginger is hot when it's old!"

Fortunately, this is his biological father. No matter how much he despises him for being stupid, he will not use this rule on him. From now on, he will never question his father again. Anyway, his father is not wrong!

When Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er returned home in the evening, they heard that someone came to their door asking for jujube branches. Before he finished hearing it, Zhao Cao'er cursed loudly and decided not to visit these houses in the future.

After hearing about Mr. Qin's method, Zhao Cao'er turned from anger to joy, and slapped Mr. Qin hard, and even pinched Qin Chuan's ears to let Qin Chuan learn from him.

The story of the Qin family selling jujube saplings for two taels of silver also spread in the village.

The villagers had different reactions. A small number of them thought that the Qin family's asking price was too high, and they even made money from the villagers. Some people thought that the price was reasonable, and everyone was willing to pay for it anyway. If it was too expensive, they just didn't want to buy it. The Qin family didn't know how to do it.

They are forced to buy; there are also some people who have nothing to do with themselves. They are not jealous of the Qin family's old jujube trees, so they have never thought of asking for jujube branches. The Qin family's jujube saplings are sold for ten taels of silver. At most, they are envious of the Qin family's getting rich again.

.

With Mr. Qin's words, the Qin family did not argue with those who complained about the price of jujube seedlings. Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang hurried to the Lin family in Huxi Village to congratulate them, and they had no time to argue with others.

The couple said a few words to Qin Xiaoxiao who was lying in bed early in the morning and then left. Qin Xiaoxiao fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up completely, she realized that she had been left behind by her parents again.

unhappy.

This unhappiness disappeared after I ate a bowl of hot steamed egg custard and followed my grandfather to the wheat field with my three treasures and rhubarb. I saw that the tips of the leaves were yellow, but overall the wheat seedlings were still green and green.

Without a trace, he ran happily around the wheat field.

As for Baa Baa, it couldn't control its mouth, and no one had enough strength to hold it back, so it had to stay in the shed, chewing tasteless dry straw.

"Woof woof -" Rhubarb was also wagging its tail and jumping around in the wheat field, and suddenly smelled the smell of wild rabbits in the air, and chased after it.

After two months of recuperation, Rhubarb was almost back to health under the nourishment of Qin's soup. However, the flesh and hair that had fallen off had to be recuperated before they could be completely restored. Now its energy and spirit are the same as before the poisoning.

Well, it’s not a problem to catch rabbits and chase pheasants after raising them for a while.

"Rhubarb, run slower, don't hit the tree~" Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the rabbit that had successfully forced out the wheat seedlings. He was chasing the rabbit and was running so fast that the wheat seedlings were trampled away. Qin Xiaoxiao was worried that it seemed to be unable to contain it.

His feet hit the big tree like a stupid rabbit.

"Woof woof -" Dahuang responded from afar, chasing the rabbit further and further away. But it was wearing a funny big flowered jacket. People who didn't know saw it and thought it was a child from some family lying on the ground on all fours.

Running around in the fields!

Mr. Qin glanced at it for a few times, then lowered his head to check the wheat seedlings in the ground, and dug in the blank spaces with a hoe from time to time. Seeing that the soil had no moisture and had dried to the point that it would affect the growth of the wheat seedlings, he frowned unconsciously.

"Grandpa, aren't the wheat seedlings good?" Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the wheat seedlings that were no longer than his ankles and didn't understand why grandpa frowned.

Mr. Qin has been cultivating the land for most of his life. Naturally, he did not want his granddaughter to know nothing about the things in the field, so he pointed at the dry wheat field and said: "If the crops grow well, the moisture must be preserved. In the past half month,

It snowed during the Chinese New Year, and the sun was shining every day, drying up the ground. If it doesn’t rain or snow, the wheat seedlings will dry out."

Qin Xiaoxiao knew that if the wheat seedlings died, everyone would be hungry, so she murmured: "Uncle Sun is so hard-working, he runs out to bask in the sun every day without even taking a break. Sister Xuehua is too lazy, and she hasn't come back for so long."

Mr. Qin couldn't help but laugh when he heard her childish words: "If we don't say that farmers rely on God to reward them with food, and if God doesn't reward them, they will be hungry."

Qin Xiaoxiao asked: "How do you let God reward you with food? Do you want to burn paper and incense like worshiping ancestors?"

Mr. Qin patted his little granddaughter on the head: "If God is willing to reward you, you can have good weather even if you don't do anything; if God doesn't reward you, it's useless to pray to God. You, don't worry about it, our family won't let you go hungry.

.”

"No one will be hungry, no one will be hungry!" Qin Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes at the dazzling Father Sun, and silently prayed: Father Sun, please go home quickly and let Sister Xuehua come out to play!

Mr. Qin didn't know what his granddaughter had done. He thought it was just something she said casually and didn't take it to heart. He took his grandson and grandson with a hoe to look at other wheat fields and found that the dry land was dryer and the fields were dry.

is better.

If there is still no rain or snow after two days, you can only carry water to water it until the next rain or snow comes.

When he went back, Dahuang came back empty-handed and did not catch the wild rabbit that stole the wheat seedlings. I don't know if he realized that he was not good enough, but Dahuang was in a very low mood and was not as cheerful as when he came.

Qin Xiaoxiao deliberately broke a few long grasses and kept harassing Dahuang's ears and nose. Dahuang knew that the little master was playing with him, so he gradually cheered up and ran after the little master.

"Woof woof——"

Two short legs can't run as fast as four legs. Even if Rhubarb deliberately let go, when Qin Xiaoxiao ran for a while and couldn't run anymore, it could only act like an evil dog pouncing on food, press its little master under it, and stretch out

Use your long tongue to wash her face.

"Ahhh, stinky Rhubarb, don't lick my face after you licked my butt!" Qin Xiaoxiao was so desperate that she hugged her head and lay on the grass, avoiding the unhygienic Rhubarb's long tongue.

"Woo~" Rhubarb's enthusiasm is unstoppable. It doesn't matter whether the little master dislikes it or not. It's fine as long as it doesn't dislike the little master, woof woof!

Mr. Qin caught up and picked up the screaming granddaughter, so that she could escape the "ravage" of Dahuang. Even so, Dahuang would jump up and bite Qin Xiaoxiao's trouser legs from time to time, trying to pull her off and continue playing.

Sanbao used small clods of earth to drive him away.

After lunch and playing for a while, Qin Xiaoxiao was coaxed to sleep by Mrs. Miao. As she fell into a deep sleep, gray clouds gradually drifted into the blue sky.

As the clouds became more and more numerous and thicker, the sun was gradually covered, and soon the entire sky became gloomy and seemed to be about to collapse.

Mrs. Miao was the first to notice the abnormality. She quickly took back the quilt and clothes that had been exposed to the sun outside, and said to Mr. Qin who came out and stood under the eaves to look at the sky: "The weather has changed too fast today. It seems like it is going to be bad."

Snowing."

For some reason, Mr. Qin suddenly remembered what his little granddaughter said in the wheat field in the morning. The next moment, he hurriedly stopped his random thoughts, feeling that he paid too much attention to his little granddaughter's ability, and that's why he thought that his little granddaughter could change the weather.

"It's a good thing if it snows. If it snows more heavily, this year's summer harvest will be safe."

Mrs. Miao nodded. She was worried about her eldest son and daughter-in-law, who were having a wedding banquet in Huxi Village. She hoped that the snow would fall later, so as not to block them in Huxi Village and prevent them from coming back for several days.

Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang, who were far away in Huxi Village, had just finished their wedding banquet when they noticed that the weather had changed. The Lin family did not have any spare room, so they could not stay overnight. They told the Lin family and went to the house with a large bag of wedding candies and cakes stuffed by the second sister-in-law Lin.

Hurrying to Qingshan Village.

The other guests were the same. They were afraid that the road would be blocked due to heavy snow, so they rushed back one after another, complaining that God was so hard-working that even a sunny day could turn into rain or snow.

Unfortunately, there was no point in complaining. It started snowing halfway through.

Fortunately, the snow was not heavy and there was no wind, so it did not affect their journey for the time being. Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang walked very fast. The journey that originally took more than an hour was shortened to one hour. Finally, they made it smoothly before the heavy snow covered the mountain road.

Returned to Qin's house.

At the same time, Huaqingyuan opposite Qinghu Lake welcomed its owner for the first time in this beautiful snowy day.

At the gate, Steward Sun's family and dozens of slaves in the village, who had been waiting for two hours, were shivering from the cold. Seeing the gorgeous carriage approaching, they did not dare to complain at all and knelt down with stiff legs.

In the snow, he lowered his head and shouted: "Welcome to you, Sir~"

Surrounding the carriage were dozens of majestic guards. They carried swords at their waists and kept their eyes straight as they protected the carriage as it slowly drove into the villa. The people on the carriage did not show up from the beginning to the end.
