Chapter 488 God’s Gift to the Mohists
They had less arable land, so naturally they didn't plant as much as the Mohists.
Moreover, they also knew in their hearts that the crops grown by the Mohists could be exchanged for a large amount of silver and money. People had kindly asked them to grow them together, so they must not ruin the Mohists' business.
Therefore, without Mo Jiuye's reminder, the Fang and Xie families automatically stored the harvested sweet potatoes in their own warehouses to use as food for the winter.
Even so, the two families are already very satisfied.
They are not powerful people now, but people who have been exiled by the emperor's order. They can live such a comfortable life in the northwest only because of the care of the Mo family.
If they are still ignorant and use the favors given by the Mohists to steal other people's business, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?
In short, Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai understood the matter very clearly and would never do anything that would harm the interests of the Mohist school.
Besides, they are really satisfied now. The women in the family follow the Mo family to make dolls. Not only is their income high, but it is also stable, which allows the family to have long-term income.
Apart from working in the fields during the busy farming season, men can go out to teach during the rest of the time. Although such days are not as glorious as those in the capital, they are more comfortable.
Needless to say, Hu Cong also planted sweet potatoes and corn with the Mo family. He mastered the technology of building courtyard houses and was overwhelmed with orders.
Moreover, he had so many workers under him, and they needed a lot of food every day. All the sweet potatoes and corns he planted were left for his workers to eat, and he had no intention of selling them.
In short, the appearance of corn at the Mo family's banquet today made everyone present feel deeply moved.
The villagers were even more upset. The Mo family's corn had not been harvested in large quantities, and they had no idea what the yield was.
The deliciousness alone was enough to move them.
Although Meng Huaining was anxious to talk to Mo Jiuye about the government's purchase of corn seeds, he was not the kind of person who would not care about the occasion.
Anyway, his ninth brother and sister-in-law had already promised him that all of the Mo family's high-yield grains could be sold to the government as seeds for next year.
Even if I am anxious, this day is not too late. The full moon party for my nephew and niece is the most important.
Tang Mingrui and Meng Huaining had almost the same idea, but they both held it in and didn't say anything because the occasion was not right.
The two little babies were sleeping soundly at this time, with Mrs. Mo and Mrs. He each holding one in their arms.
The weather in this season is neither too hot nor too cold, so there is no need to worry about your little ones feeling uncomfortable.
It was rare to successfully give birth to twins in Dashun, especially for the Mo family, who had a boy and a girl. In the eyes of the people, this was a good omen, and the Mo family's fortune was limitless.
They even believe that Zhuer and Mingzhu are lucky dolls born with blessings.
In order to share in the blessings of the two babies, everyone wanted to get closer to the two little guys.
There are so many people that there will be noise even if you pay attention.
Zhu'er was sleeping soundly in his grandmother's arms. When he felt something was wrong, he frowned and opened his eyes.
Mrs. He saw her grandson's cute frown and immediately laughed.
She said to Madam Mo beside her, "Mother-in-law, look at my darling grandson. He's awake and he's actually frowning."
Old Madam Mo held Mingzhu and stretched out her head to look. It was just as Madam He said. Zhu'er was frowning at him. He looked obviously unhappy. If it were any other child, he would definitely burst into tears after frowning.
However, Zhuer didn't do that. He was just unhappy and wouldn't cry as easily as his sister.
This expression melted the hearts of the two old ladies.
"Grandma's dear grandson, if you're unhappy, just cry. There's no need to force yourself."
Think about his nine sons, each one of them was so strong since childhood. When they grew up and went to the battlefield, no matter how badly they were injured, they never shed a tear.
At that time, she, as a mother, was proud of this. Her sons were all strong-willed and never shed tears easily.
What did this tenacity bring?
In return, the entire Mohist family was exiled, the daughter-in-law was secretly drugged upon entering the house, and the men were secretly framed one by one...
Now Madam Mo has understood that the Mo family will no longer raise their sons to be so strong. They should be like ordinary children, with their own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
But his precious grandson was born tough, and he had cried very few times since he was born.
Even if you hear the baby crying, it is Mingzhu who makes it. When Zhuer is unhappy, at most he will frown like he is now.
Mrs. He had never experienced the excruciating pain that Mrs. Mo had experienced, and had not thought about her level.
"Our Zhu'er is tough, like the Mo family, he won't cry easily at such a young age."
The two old ladies were talking about Zhu'er here. When they saw the guests coming, Mrs. He showed Zhu'er's little face to everyone.
After seeing Zhu'er, a villager immediately praised him: "Oh my god... This is the first time I have seen such a white and chubby baby."
"Yeah, look at this doll's eyebrows and eyes, it's so beautiful no matter how you look at it."
Although their tone was a bit exaggerated, it was true.
Not to mention that Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran's looks can be described as outstanding, this kind of high-quality genetic genes is something that others do not have.
Just the foods that He Zhiran supplemented during her pregnancy were not available in this era. The villagers lived a hard life and could not even get enough to eat when they were pregnant, let alone any tonics.
It was the first time for the villagers to see such a beautiful baby, and they all felt that it was a gift from God to the Mo family.
At this time, He Zhiran, who had just finished her confinement, was surrounded by her sisters-in-law.
Not only did the villagers think so, even the Mohists themselves thought so.
The eldest sister-in-law looked at Zhu'er in Madam He's arms lovingly and said softly, "Our Zhu'er and Mingzhu are both one month old, but they haven't been given a full name yet. These two babies are God's gift to my Mo family, so their names can't be too vague no matter what."
"Yes, our Zhuer and Mingzhu must be given meaningful names." The second sister-in-law also echoed.
When it comes to naming a child, everyone's attention falls on He Zhiran, the mother.
Madam Mo said, "Ranran, when Zhu'er and Mingzhu were born, your father said that you and Jiuye would choose the names of the children.
I asked Jiuye a few days ago, and Jiuye said, "I'll listen to you. Why don't you name my precious grandson and granddaughter now?"
"Yes, ninth sister-in-law, you are the most knowledgeable among our sisters-in-law. The name you come up with will definitely sound nice." Eighth sister-in-law pushed He Zhiran and said.
He Zhiran naturally felt obligated to name his own child.
She thought about a lot of things when she was bored during the confinement period, but she eventually rejected them all.
By naming her two children, she admitted that she was a bad namer.
Now that so many people are urging her, and the two babies are already a month old, it is really unacceptable that she doesn't have a decent name.
