Chapter 104: Past and Present
Seeing that the corn was getting fuller day by day and the whiskers were turning black, they decided to break it off. They don't fake hands, the two couples do it themselves. They take away the backyard first. Some poles have two grown on them. They are all plump and grow very well. It is thanks to Zhou Cheng that he is very fertile.
There was a small pile in the backyard, and they took the poles and bamboo baskets to the back hillside to pick them. The heavy work was done by Zhou Cheng, and they picked up the burden of Zhou Cheng and brought it back.
Seeing that there was a lot of piles in the yard at home, they went to the old house to borrow weights again.
More than 130 catties, and it is still a small amount of land, and the harvest is very impressive. Pei Xiu was also very satisfied. Zhou Cheng took care of it very seriously, and he should have so many harvests.
The next step is to dry the seeds and rub them down one by one, which is very labor-intensive. She doesn't want to do it, and her hands are already rough, so she doesn't want to make it thicker. Anyway, the amount is not a lot. One five or six taels is more than two hundred. Judging from his hand strength, it is also very fast.
Pei Xiu is very happy to see Huang Huang's grains being rubbed off. Next year, these seeds will be enough to grow dozens of acres of land, and they will be fully promoted in the year after. It is very beautiful to think about it, after all, she was the first to grow.
After the end, Zhou Cheng started to write the report again, and he also wrote the sweet potato in it. Recently, the vines of the sweet potato are getting denser and denser, and his daughter-in-law even picked it and fried it.
Everything his daughter-in-law cooks is especially delicious, because she is willing to put oil in cooking, and the cooked dishes are especially delicious, unlike other people's oil that sticks to the side of the pot. But it also takes a lot of oil. Every time I go to town, I have to bring fat and boil lard.
As I wrote it, I was crooked, and I wrote all the sweet potato vines in it. There are still sweet potatoes left in the harvest, but this is also a matter of time.
Recently, I was busy and fell asleep, and the two hadn't had a good chat for a long time. Pei Xiu looked at Zhou Cheng and remembered something she had never asked. Now that she was free, she was a little curious and said, "Have you been to Fucheng, and do you know what it looks like?"
"I've been there twice. The streets are very wide and there are many shops." Zhou Cheng recalled for a while, but he didn't pay attention to it carefully, and the impression was not very deep, and he didn't have time to go out shopping in a leisurely manner.
"Where did you join the army before?" Pei Xiu was really curious about how he grew from a soldier to a general banner. She remembered that she had heard it before as if it was a general banner or a general, but it wasn't very true.
Zhou Cheng recalled his life in the military camp and was deeply touched. Many of the people around him fell before they became familiar with them. Later, because of the many people he killed, he slowly rose from a soldier to a team leader. The flag leader, the general flag, a hundred households, a thousand households..
"The military camp relies on military merits, and some people will take your military merits. I am lucky. I was assigned to the general camp. Singing all the way, there was a time when General Hop-General followed the Prince to quell the rebellion, was noticed by the Prince, was brought under his command, and was finally promoted to General."
Pei Xiu listened quietly. At first she thought it was just the general flag, but she didn't expect it to be a general. It took ten years to rise from a soldier with no background to a general, and I can imagine how much he paid, no wonder he didn't have a piece of good meat.
"Let me tell you something." Zhou Cheng hugged her and said, "The latest reply from Shizi said that he has already arranged for me to be transferred back to his side first, and the position is not easy to arrange, so first arrange me to go to Zhuangzi in his name, and put the high yield Bring the crops over and assist the old farmer in the village to successfully plant them next year. If the harvest is up to expectations, he can ask for my official reinstatement. I wanted to let you know when the sweet potatoes are harvested, so that you can be pleasantly surprised. "
"I'm very happy now, have you agreed to wait for the sweet potatoes to be harvested?" Pei Xiu was surprised, thinking that she would have to wait until next year to harvest another batch. With accurate data, arrangements can be made.
Zhou Cheng was also very happy. Although he didn't make arrangements right away, he also saw hope. He went to the old house today, discussed with his father and eldest brother, and studied the sweet potato vine for a long time. It is estimated that the sweet potato will be collected in another month.
He talked to Pei Xiu like this, and Pei Xiu nodded. She thought that she would be able to accept it in August.
Looking at the daughter-in-law in his arms, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"What?" She didn't understand what Zhou Cheng meant for a while.
He didn't intend to ask at first, but he was in a hurry to talk, and the atmosphere was very good at night. When the words came to his lips, they slipped out, and his heart tightened, and he said, "After you fell on the head last year, it was different from before, like It's like a different person."
Pei Xiu understood what he meant as soon as she asked, she was silent for a while, then raised her head and looked at him seriously, "Do you think a person will have past and present lives?"
She didn't want to lie, he didn't ask before, and she didn't have to make up lies, and now she didn't want to lie to him, but she hoped to give a good explanation to the person next to her.
Zhou Cheng looked at her fixedly, "I'll believe it if you say it."
Pei Xiu smiled, "Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies. I don't know if Zhuang Sheng dreamed that he became a butterfly, or that the butterfly became him."
Zhou Cheng didn't understand what she meant.
She went on to say: "Huang Liang has a dream, I dreamed of my previous life, a woman who was full of poetry and books, and she was not inferior to others, but she was married for ten years and could not have children. She raised the outer room behind her back, and the outer room child is also four years old. UU reading just kept coaxing her, and when she found out, she also had an accident."
She shed tears as she spoke. She thought she had forgotten it, but she didn't expect that it would still hurt to open the wound.
Zhou Cheng patted her soothingly, "It's okay, you said it, it's just a dream."
"No, it's not just a dream, it's very real. I think when I was in a coma, I saw her short life, which is my past life. I really walked through the gate of hell." She shook her head, it was hers In the previous life, it was a real existence that could not be erased.
"It's my fault, I wasn't at home at the time. Don't think too much. Since you said that it was a previous life, it is already the past. Don't people want to live in the present, the past is gone. You have to cherish it. At the moment, cherish the people in front of you, and cherish this family now. You already have four children, and maybe there will be more in the future." Zhou Cheng wiped away her tears seriously and comforted her softly.
Pei Xiu was about to make him laugh, "What do you mean there will be more in the future, four are already a lot, do you think I am a sow?"
"The sow is not as handsome as you." Zhou Cheng was relieved when he saw her smile, but when he saw her weeping in front of him, he panicked.
