Chapter 289 The Secret of Golden Pumpkin Seeds
Feng was inevitably curious and stretched her neck to take a look.
Only then did she realize that what Xiao Nuobao was holding in her hand was actually a whole bag of golden pumpkin seeds!
The golden pumpkin seeds were so bright that they dazzled her eyes. They were heavy and quite valuable.
Feng was extremely surprised and hurriedly held her daughter's hand, "Is this given by Mrs. Xiao?"
Seeing that her mother had found out, Xiao Nuobao had to give up "burying her father" and shrank her little neck to look at Feng, worried that she would be scolded by her mother.
"Mrs. Xiao said that when you miss her, spend a little money to buy good food and clothes, and your mood will get better." Xiao Nuobao answered truthfully, holding the golden pumpkin seeds in his arms.
When Feng asked more, she found out that it was because Mrs. Xiao was worried about this little girl, so she secretly gave her gold melon seeds so that she could spend them for fun.
As the saying goes, it is better to give a banknote than to ask about her well-being. Mrs. Xiao loved this little girl so much that she naturally couldn't escape the custom.
Feng was a little helpless, "This old lady is too accustomed to children. How can a fat girl spend so many gold melon seeds?"
Gold melon seeds are also called broken gold. Just a little bit is enough for a farmer to eat and drink for a year.
Not to mention, Mrs. Xiao gave them in bags. If it were in the past, it would be enough to support three generations of Jiang's descendants.
Little Nuobao was afraid that her mother would scold her if she knew, so she wanted to hide it under the quilt first and then secretly move it back to the cabinet later.
It was estimated that the Xiao family's convoy had gone two miles away, and Feng couldn't catch up, so she had to accept the generous gift from the Xiao family.
She poked the tip of the lady's nose and sighed, "Since your grandmother Xiao dotes on you, then you can take it, but you must remember her kindness to you, and when you grow up, you must not forget old lady Xiao."
Little Nuobao poked her chest and nodded crisply, "Yes, mother, Nuobao will go to the capital to see grandmother Xiao in the future. If Nuobao grows up and she is too old to walk, let Wu Guoguo carry her on her back, and continue to go to eat cherry pancakes and visit lantern festivals with Nuobao!"
Little Fengmiao was "entrusted with an important task" by his sister without knowing it.
At this moment, he was sitting on the doorstep, as listless as a sick chicken.
After all, Old Lady Xiao was also his teacher, and she had always tried her best to teach him. When he first learned that the Xiao family was going back to Beijing, he didn't feel bad, but now that the servants had really left the village, he
couldn't help but feel empty in his heart. Feng smiled and touched the girl, "If your grandmother Xiao heard this, she would be so angry that you would make her laugh. It's not certain whether Feng Miao
, that skinny guy, can carry it." "Okay, give the golden melon seeds to your mother quickly. I'll help you collect them, so you don't get them knocked out."
Feng knew that the children in the family were all of good origin, and they would be grateful, so she didn't need to worry.
Xiao Nuobao was no longer worried, so he handed over the bag with a smile and watched his mother put it under the suitcase.
It was still early, and Li Qiqiao was taking her time to heat up porridge and cook eggs in the outer room.
Jiang Fengze felt bored practicing swordplay alone without Xiao Lanyi, so he took a cold steamed bun and went to take a look at the Liaodong Camp.
Since the brothers of the Liaodong Camp were rewarded for their meritorious service last time, Jiang Fengze gave them a long vacation so that they could go home to visit their families with honor.
At present, the camp there was empty, but there were some armors and weapons, so he could feel at ease if he went there from time to time.
Before leaving, Jiang Fengze saw an almanac next to the kang in the west room, and then he remembered it and took it to give to his sister.
"Nuobao, this is bought by your brother Xiao, who said it's specially for you."
"If you miss your grandmother Xiao, tear off a page every night. When you finish tearing the whole almanac, your grandmother Xiao will definitely come to the village to see you again." Jiang Fengze said with a smile.
When little Nuobao heard this, her eyes lit up. There was such a good thing!
So she grabbed the almanac with her little hand, shook her little head, and hung it on the window sill like a baby.
Now, little Nuobao finally had something to look forward to, and her mood became wonderful. She lay on the kang and imitated the caterpillar crawling, and started to be naughty again.
Feng was a little worried, and she dragged Fengze away and glared at him, "Don't scare your sister. One almanac is one year. Once you've torn them all up, and Madam Xiao doesn't come a year later, I won't forgive you if you make your sister cry!"
Jiang Fengze smiled softly and pointed at the white flour on the stove, "Mother, my sister can't read. When she tears them up at night, we can glue them together in the morning. This way, she'll never finish tearing them up, just to give her something to look forward to."
Feng suddenly realized, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This must be Xiao Lanyi's handwriting.
Jiang Fengze's mouth was full of smiles, "Haha, mother guessed right, I can't think of such a bad trick, it was all his idea."
Little Nuobao had no idea that she, a powerful fairy, would suffer the loss of illiteracy, and she was still happy on the kang.
However, Xiao Lanyi had to resort to this measure to coax the child, and it was indeed useful!
After Feng and Jiang Fengze whispered, they sent him to the door, and then went to Xianquanju to settle this month's wages.
After getting the silver, Mrs. Liu was very happy, and Jujiao's dowry could be added.
Li Yiner thanked Feng in a gentle voice, got on the village chief's ox cart, took some rice, flour and clothes, and went to Qingshui Village to see Li Wencai.
Although the farmland is now idle, there is still one finishing job to do, which is burning straw.
When Jiang Fenghu arrived at the field carrying a rake, he chatted with the villagers. At noon, he got up to light a fire.
The straw was mixed with dead branches and fallen leaves, and the fire filled the field with smoke.
Everyone coughed and stepped back, their eyes filled with smiles. These are all good fertilizers for growing crops next year! This is the
good thing about the countryside. When encountering some urgent work, everyone can help each other. After finishing your family, you can go to my house.
In the afternoon, the straw in the whole village was almost burned. Everyone chatted for a while, and a few who couldn't sit still had to go up the mountain to chop firewood together.
The women were diligent, keeping the old habits, and many of them were digging dandelions in the mountains.
The sun rose and the moon set, and a day of leisure for farmers passed by as fast as a shooting star.
At night, the oil lamp in the house was bright. Jiang Fenghu washed his feet and went to the kang to talk to Feng about his plans for planting next year.
When they were excited, the whole family was full of longing, but then Jiang Fengze came in, and when they remembered that he had to go to Zuixinglou to keep an appointment tomorrow, the Jiang family members couldn't laugh again.
After getting up in the morning, Feng closed her clothes and thought for a while, feeling that today would not be peaceful.
Xiao Nuobao knew something big was going to happen, so he opened his eyes early, stretched his waist and crawled out of the bed.
"Mom, hurry up and prepare the meal. We have to go into the city after we eat." Xiao Nuobao tugged at the corner of Feng's clothes.
Feng came to her senses and was about to get up and put on her shoes, but turned back in confusion.
"We're going into the city? Didn't Xu Zan only invite your third brother to go?"
Xiao Nuobao curled his eyes and laughed, "It's so boring for San Guoguo to go alone. Mom and I, and take the second sister-in-law and the fifth Guoguo, we will go with San Guoguo. It's more lively when there are more people to watch a play!"
Although Feng was still a little puzzled.
But knowing the arrangement of the lady must be very useful!
Her heart beat faster for some unknown reason, so she heated up the porridge and duck eggs, and after eating their fill, the five of them got in a carriage and set off for the city together.
