Chapter 189 The Resurrection of All Things

The spring breeze in March blows away the cold, all things come back to life, and the mountains are full of green.

Old Mrs. Qin moved a stool and sat at the door of her house, sewing shoe soles with her head down.

"Xiao Lu should have entered the examination room by now. Dalang will be his turn soon. Time flies so fast..." Old Lady Qin said to Old Lady Zhou beside her with a smile while threading the needle quickly.

"That's right. Mr. Lu is a smart child. He will definitely get the top spot on the list and set a good example for Dalang." Old Mrs. Zhou responded with a smile.

Old Mrs. Zhou's hands were not idle either, she was peeling the beans she had just picked from the fields.

Zhou Dazhu was transferred to the city by Qin Ruo to help. Zhou Cheng and his wife and Zhou's old man were busy building their own house. Even Zhou Erzhu and his two younger sisters were put to use to do some work such as making tea and serving water.

Old Mrs. Zhou had just had some free time, so she came over to the Qin family and chatted with Old Mrs. Qin.

"Now my Qin family has no worries about food and clothing, and a new house is being built. But you tell me, why do I feel like I'm dreaming these days, and I always feel uneasy." Old Mrs. Qin suddenly stopped sewing, a trace of melancholy on her face.

At this moment, she thought of her former daughter-in-law Shen Ruyi, her son Qin Huaizheng who had never enjoyed a day of happiness, and the old man who died early, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"Everything is fine, why are you sighing? Why are you so upset? Aren't good days right in front of us? Thanks to your A Ruo, my Zhou family and I have also benefited from it. Who would have thought that I could live in a new house in my lifetime?"

When Old Mrs. Zhou mentioned the new house she was building, her eyes became moist. Perhaps this was the joy that came after all the hard work.

"We are old, so let the young people take care of the rest. By the way, the canal in our village has begun to be built. Good things happen one after another, and it makes me happy just thinking about it." Old Mrs. Qin smiled when she mentioned the canal construction in the village, and the melancholy mood was long gone.

The canal construction project in Changhe Village has finally been completed.

In the past few days, County Magistrate Jiang and Lawyer Qian, with the troops they had gathered, entered the village in a mighty procession.

Now the villagers of Changhe Village are busy outside, waving their hoes.

The two old ladies were chatting with each other about the situation in the village, and their laughter drifted far away.

Lord Pan and Director Li, along with several agricultural officials and their little assistant Qin Zimu, were squatting and weeding in the sweet potato field at the edge of the field.

After the county magistrates from other counties came that day, Lord Pan thought about it and decided to keep all the potatoes and sweet potato seedlings brought down from the mountain.

The imperial court had originally sent him here to study new crops, but it was still unknown whether they could be grown, so the plans of those county magistrates were naturally going to fail.

Lord Pan and his men opened up several new experimental plots of land, both dry land and paddy fields, and tried to plant some crops to see the results.

Although the book introduces the planting methods, the specific planting effects can only be known through actual practice.

For example, the composition of the soil, the factors affecting moisture and drought, weather changes, etc., there are many things to consider.

Qin Ruo was busy with business and only came back occasionally.

All household matters, including assisting Lord Pan and other agricultural officials, were handed over to Qin Zimu.

These days, Qin Zimu has been busying around Lord Pan and his men, and has become Lord Pan's little assistant.

Qin Zimu was careful and clever, and he was very interested in growing crops and was hardworking. Lord Pan was very satisfied with Qin Zimu, the "extra-staff" assistant of Sinong Temple.

After staying in Changhe Village for a long time, Lord Pan finally realized that the girl from the Qin family was not simple at all.

Although he rarely shows up, he is the backbone of the Qin family and even the development of this village.

After hearing about Qin Ruo's past deeds from the villagers, Lord Pan felt that his trip was not in vain.

Live and learn.

As the Minister of Agriculture, I have learned a lot from the little girl from the Qin family.

County Magistrate Jiang arranged for the blacksmiths at the iron foundry to make a replica of the curved plow and sent it to the capital.

As for the book that Qin Ruo handed over, it was of great importance and she was not confident in handing it to anyone, so Lord Pan has already kept it properly.

I plan to present it to the emperor personally when he returns to Beijing.

Now, if we count the days, I estimate that the reward to Miss Qin from the court will soon come.

Around noon, Lord Pan and his entourage washed their hands and walked towards the house where they were staying temporarily.

Now, only Qin Zimu and Old Lady Qin, a grandparent and grandchild, were at home in the Qin family. Lord Pan and his friends were too embarrassed to go to the Qin family for free meals, so they all stayed in their own houses.

When Qin Zimu returned home, Old Mrs. Qin had already prepared the meal.

There were only two people in the family, the grandparents and the grandchildren, and neither of them was a wasteful person. Although the Qin family's current life was very different from the past, Qin Ruo and Qin Ziyan were not at home, so they made a simple lunch.

"Erlang, you're finally back. Come, have a drink of water first. The food is ready, and grandma will serve it soon." Old Mrs. Qin smiled and handed Qin Zimu a bowl of water.

After the Chinese New Year, Qin Zimu, who was one year older, seemed to have regained his strength and grew a lot taller.

I've been working in the fields frequently, exposed to the wind and sun during this period. My skin, which had finally become a little whiter in Taihe County, has now turned wheat-colored again.

"Thank you, grandma!" Qin Zimu took the bowl of water and drank it.

"Go slowly, don't choke..." Old Lady Qin glanced at him with a look of rebuke, her eyes full of love. Then she turned and walked to the kitchen, and brought two bowls of steaming hot food to the table.

Looking at the two big chicken legs in his bowl, Qin Zimu was stunned for a moment.

He thought of the scene last year when his elder sister snatched the chicken leg from under his grandmother's chopsticks and put it into his bowl.

At that time, I felt very happy just to be able to eat white rice.

Now the Qin family no longer has to worry about food and drink, and they have enough white rice three times a day.

If you want to eat fish, you can go to your own fish pond to catch it. As for chickens and ducks, they are also raised in their own farms, so you can take whatever you want to eat.

I couldn’t even imagine this day before.

"Erlang, what are you doing standing there? Eat quickly, or it won't taste good if it gets cold." Old Mrs. Qin saw Qin Zimu in a daze and quickly reminded him.

Although the Qin family was living a good life, she would still subconsciously want to save all the delicious food for her grandson.

Qin Ruo and Qin Ziyan were not at home, so the two chicken legs naturally belonged to Qin Zimu.

Old Lady Qin received Qin Ruo's advice that Qin Zimu was at the stage of growing up and must eat well, as the family did not lack this little money.

Old Lady Qin’s main focus now is being obedient.

No matter how simple the meals the grandparents and grandson cook at home, they are absolutely guaranteed to have meat for two meals a day.

"Grandma, you eat too." Qin Zimu came to his senses, picked up a chicken leg, and put it in Grandma Qin's bowl with a smile.

"Grandma is old, and it's not good for her to eat too much greasy food. Your sister also said that you are growing, so you need to eat better." Before he finished speaking, the chicken leg returned to Qin Zimu's bowl.

When Qin Ruo and Qin Tiaotiao entered the house, they saw the grandparents and grandchildren pushing and shoving each other.
