Chapter 324： Fruitful and prosperous golden autumn

Chapter 324: Fruitful and prosperous golden autumn

Mrs. Li was carrying a vegetable basket and as soon as she entered the house, Jiayin, who was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and pants, ran out of the house.

If it weren't for the two little flower buds tied on her head, she would look like a fat boy.

“Grandma, you’re back!” Jiayin held up a sachet and presented the treasure to her grandma. “I sewed this for grandma. It’s very fragrant!”

The old lady took it carefully and hung it on her belt carefully, feeling happy and proud.

The little granddaughter was already smart, but now she has become even more dexterous.

Although the sachet is simple and requires only a few stitches, it is really rare to put it on a child!

You must know that according to the old rules, a child is considered one year old when he is born, and Fu Niu is only four years old now...

But she still couldn't help but blame her granddaughter, "Why are you wearing these clothes again? You are a girl, you shouldn't show your arms and legs like this!"

Jiayin hugged grandma’s arm and said coquettishly, “Grandma, it’s too hot, I’ll just wear it at home~”

The old lady couldn't help it, so she tapped her granddaughter on the forehead and said, "I'll send you to learn needlework. You're not very good at needlework, but you've ruined your master by making you such nondescript clothes."

Jiayin smiled and refused to say anything.

She worked hard to learn female beauty, of course she wanted to benefit herself.

It was fine when I was one or two years old, and it was okay to wear a bellyband when the weather was hot. But now I am a big child, and I can no longer run around with my back bare.

This set of half-sleeved clothes and trousers was made by her with great difficulty in getting her master to help cut and sew it.

Her coolness throughout the summer depends entirely on it!

Grandparents and grandson were bickering when the courtyard door was pushed open, and Jia An Jiaxi and Cat Brother ran in, with beads of sweat on their foreheads.

When they saw their sister wearing cool clothes, everyone looked at grandma eagerly.

“Grandma, it’s hot for us too, so we have to wear clothes like my sister’s!”

The old lady gave each of them a slap in the face, laughed and cursed, "I know, I've already cut them, and I'll let you put them on tomorrow."

“Great, thank you grandma!” the boys cheered, threw down their schoolbags, hugged the sheepskin ball and ran away without a trace.

Dongmei heard the commotion and came from next door. She asked with a smile: "Old lady, are you ready for lunch?"

The old lady knew that she wanted to help, so she quickly waved her hand, "It's such a hot weather, and I can't eat much. I'll just make some noodles. You don't have to touch them, just help me take care of Fu Niu'er for a while!"

Hearing this, Jiayin immediately ran to find a bamboo hat. He and Dongmei each put on one and headed up the mountain.

She hasn't been to the orchard for more than ten days. She doesn't know how the fruit is doing or whether it has attracted any insects.

Last year when the valley was first built, the scenery was ordinary, but this year it is completely different.

The bougainvillea planted on both sides of the cliff have completely climbed up the cliff. From a distance, they look like two flower walls falling from the sky.

Between the flowers, warm spring water falls, and a thin mist fills the air. It is so beautiful that people can’t even find words to describe it.

Especially when I sit in the pool below and look up, the mist is refracted by the sunlight and turns into a colorful rainbow that hangs in the sky.

Who would not like, be intoxicated or crazy about such a beautiful scenery? !

So, in the past three or four months, the business in Hot Spring Valley has exploded.

Many people even wanted to book a place with a lot of money, but the young and old in the village still did not waver, and the number of daily guests was still strictly controlled.

The venue is also reserved once every five days, and the number of people cannot exceed one hundred.

This not only did not make Hot Spring Valley disliked and scolded, but also made the people of Xindu flock to it even more. Guests came and went in a well-behaved manner, and nothing unpleasant happened.

The orchards on the two hills are in flowering season in May. The large apple trees are full of ivory-colored flowers. As the spring breeze blows, they fall from the sky above the valley. They are like a fairyland on earth and beautiful.

In those days, even if I couldn't enter the valley, countless guests arrived. They would rather pay money to go up the mountain to enjoy the flowers. To this end, the whole village, old and young, went out together, up and down the mountain, to strictly guard and maintain order, and to watch over the guests not to damage the fruit trees.

When the flowering period is over, the guests are satisfied and the whole village, old and young, is exhausted.

But the harvest is also huge. Not counting the income from the valley, they only received a thousand taels from just enjoying the flowers!

The village chief made a decision to divide the money among the whole village, young and old.

Now, the flowers have fallen, and there are already fruits among the branches and leaves.

Dongmei was afraid that Jianyin would fall and have her limbs cut by dead branches, so she carried her up the mountain on her back.

The good news is that I looked at it here and touched it there, and I was extremely satisfied.

The nursery in the Space Courtyard appeared after she injured her head that time. She didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but unexpectedly she benefited the most from it.

The fruit trees on this mountain and the large melon fields at the foot of the mountain are all the work of the nursery.

Dongmei couldn't help but pick a fruit, took a bite, and frowned hard because of the sourness.

“Miss, this fruit looks quite big, but it’s still not ripe. It’s so sour.”

Before Jiayin could answer, Uncle Wu appeared out of nowhere with a sickle in his hand. When he saw that the outsiders were Dongmei and Jiayin, he quickly put away the sickle and said with a smile: "It turns out it's you. I thought it was you." A naughty boy from another village came to cause trouble!"

After Li Laosi joined the army, Uncle Wu took over the orchard.

He was also a responsible man and actually built a thatched house in the orchard and lived here eight out of ten days.

Fortunately, he had the mosquito repellent lotion given by Dr. Zhang, otherwise the mosquitoes would have eaten him.

Jiayin shouted with a smile, "Uncle, Niuniu wants to eat honey!"

“Little greedy cat!” Uncle Wu knocked on Jiayin’s bamboo hat and led them to the shack with a cheerful smile.

There are more than a dozen boxes of bees here, and they help when the fruit trees are pollinating during the flowering period.

Uncle Wu quickly opened the box, cut out a small jar of honey, and handed it to Jiayin to hold, "Hurry home and eat. There are too many bees here. Be careful which one stings you into a steamed bun."

Dongmei was already busy chasing away the bees surrounding Jiayin. When she heard this, she quickly called out to Jiayin, hugged Jiayin and ran away.

The two of them went all the way down the mountain. When they returned home, the old lady's lunch was already ready.

Huiniang was sitting under the eaves of the corridor, holding her waist with one hand and talking to the old lady.

She was pregnant in the first month of the year and is now seven months old. Her belly is very big.

Doctor Zhang checked her pulse and said she was having twins, so the whole village took extra care of her.

Whoever made delicious food would give her a bowl.

Especially for the Li family, the old lady goes there almost every day to see how much food and supplies have been arranged.

 Today I was a little busy. Madam Hui came by herself before the old lady came over. If she moves around more, it will be easier for her to give birth in the future.

Jiayin jumped off Dongmei's back, ran forward and gave the master a green fruit, "Master, here you go."

Hui Niang wanted to wipe the sweat from the little girl, but after just one glance at the green fruit, her saliva flowed out unsatisfactorily, so she could only take a big bite.

Dongmei’s teeth turned sour when she saw it. She had never given birth and she really couldn’t understand the taste of pregnant women. How could she eat such sour fruit?

The old lady looked at her with a smile on her face, "Sour son and spicy woman, okay, maybe there are two boys in her belly."

Hui Niang hugged her belly, her face was full of happiness, and she asked in a low voice, "Auntie, Fu Niu's birthday will be in a few days. Will the Marquis and the others come back?"
