Chapter 218: He Jiaoxing is very lucky
Su Wan's grandparents are buried halfway up the mountain, and he also has to visit the graves of his great-grandfather and great-grandmother.
Su's father and Su Jing each took a sickle and soon had to cut the weeds around the grave themselves.
Su Wan is responsible for placing the tributes and the incense table. After Su's father returns, he will greet the people who specialize in repairing the tomb and have them decorate this place. It is a token of their gratitude to the descendants. He also hopes that their spirits in heaven can bless their descendants, so that they can live in peace and prosperity.
Ancestor worship is also very tiring. It requires climbing mountains and cutting grass. Although Su Wan does not have to do it himself, Su's father and Su Jing are both sweating profusely. They didn't finish until the afternoon and went home.
My body was covered with weed seeds that had stuck to my clothes and hair, and I felt itchy all over.
Fortunately, Liuying had boiled a lot of hot water at home, so Su Wan could take a hot bath as soon as she came back. Some parts of her body were covered with red marks from her scratching.
Sure enough, after living a wealthy life for a long time, it is easy to suffer from affluence diseases when you go to the countryside. I didn’t feel this way when I was in the village before.
Liuying looked at the red marks on her body caused by scratching with heartache, but there was nothing she could do.
"It's okay. I feel much better after washing. It will go away after a while."
"Girl's skin is delicate, so be careful next time. Don't scratch it too hard. Some places have broken the skin, and you don't know how painful it is."
Liuying was really heartbroken, her brows were tightly furrowed.
Because he was tired after a long day, Su Wan fell asleep soon after he got on the bed.
The first thing I did when I woke up the next day was to run to the back garden of my house to check the beehives.
Afraid of being bitten by bees, she still took precautions. Even though bees don't bite, there are so many of them, so just in case.
She wore a hat with a gauze scarf, and then opened the beehive to see that the flowers in the garden had already bloomed. The red roses and the light red roses covered the entire fence, which was very beautiful.
There are already honeycombs in the beehive, and you can clearly see honey attached to them, but it's not enough, so more honey needs to be added.
This honey, which is raised purely from fresh flowers, smells sweet and looks thick.
When Liuying saw this, she was worried that the girl might be bitten.
"Girl, why do you keep so many bees in your yard? It's so scary. What if they sting you?"
"They generally don't bite people, and this kind of bees are beneficial insects. They can produce honey, which has beauty and nourishing effects. It is very good to drink with water. It is good for women and is better than brown sugar. It is very expensive on the market. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
Besides, no one seems to have mastered the technology of raising bees yet. If I could do it here, I would be the first. This would cost a lot of money. Do you still think they are scary now?" Su Wan explained to her.
"If you can make money, that's another matter."
Indeed, once something is given a good price, it is a good thing.
Su Wan still had to go to the flower fields to check whether the more than 20 beehives had formed honeycombs and started producing honey. If successful, he could consider planting a few more acres of flower fields next year to expand the scale of the apiary.
It just so happened that Jiang Sheng and his wife were busy in the flower field, watering the flowers.
The weather is getting hotter and there is less rainfall, so the flowers need to be watered every two days. Now they are blooming very well. The beehives under the shed have all formed honeycombs and there is a lot of honey in them.
In two months, we can harvest directly.
Jiang Sheng and his wife knew yesterday that Su Wan had returned, but Su Wan and her family were busy, so they didn't go to look for her.
Because of working for Su Wan, the family has a fixed income every month. Jiang Sheng's mother's health has improved a lot, and Jiao Xing has grown taller and gained weight. Compared with her previous skinny appearance, she looks much better now.
Although she couldn't speak, her smile was particularly contagious. Just by standing there quietly and smiling at Su Wan, Su Wan could tell from her smile that she had a lot to say but couldn't express it, so it turned into excitement.
Jiang Sheng was concerned that his wife was still young and they had not yet consummated their marriage. He was also worried that she might have a baby, and that giving birth now would be too harmful to her body.
Aunt Jiang was not in a hurry either. It was she who had instructed her son about this matter. It would not be too late to wait until Jiao Xing was two years older. She should not end up like her, hurting her body and having to stay bedridden for the rest of her life.
Jiao Xing is lucky enough to marry Jiang Sheng, a man who cares about his wife. Although his shoulders are not strong enough, he is responsible. His mother-in-law is also very nice and considerate of her.
Look at how well-maintained this garden is. It's rare to see even a weed, and the flowers are blooming very freshly because they water the garden diligently. The Su family's yard is usually cleaned and tidyed up by them.
Father Su is a rough man who takes care of his few acres of land every day. His children and wife are not at home, and he lives a rough life. How could he care about these things?
Therefore, the monthly salary that Su Wan gave them was still worth it.
There is nothing much to do at home, just to tell Jiang Sheng and others that the honey can be collected in more than a month.
Su's father hired someone to repair the ancestral tomb, so he was busy these days. His eldest brother also had to work with him. Su Wan stayed at home for several days, without eating or sleeping.
The third brother gave her the key to Jiang Yunhe's house and asked her to use it to clean the yard so that it would not be abandoned. Su Wan took Liuyun and Liuying to Uncle Jiang's house to do a thorough cleaning.
Their peach tree has produced many peaches, and there is a lot of peach gum on the trunk, but peach gum is too troublesome to handle. Although it is a very nutritious thing, it is troublesome.
The peaches are still a little short of ripeness and need to stay on the tree for a while longer before they are fully ripe.
However, the osmanthus flowers in his yard were blooming again, and no one appreciated them if they were left here, so Su Wan simply asked Liuyun and the others to pick them all and bring them back to the workshop so that he could make new osmanthus soap.
It is very good for making soaking oil or directly distilling floral dew. Golden osmanthus is a very fragrant variety with a strong aroma. Many people like osmanthus.
After Su's father and eldest brother finished the work at the ancestral tomb, the family had to find someone to harvest the rice. After the rice was harvested and dried, Su's father would transport it all the way to their home in Xiangzhou.
From then on, Su's father would move to Xiangzhou to live permanently, to be with his children and daughter-in-law, and would only come back to visit from time to time.
Su Jing stayed at home for about seven or eight days before returning to Xiangzhou with his sister.
In Xiangzhou, I have not yet attended the governor's banquet.
As soon as Su Wan entered the city, he found that recruitment was underway at the city gate. It seemed that a war was about to break out on the border, which also meant that his third brother was about to leave home and go to the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable. After all, the front line was full of swords and blood. The third brother had suffered a lot.
