The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 290 Mid-Autumn Festival Chapter

Ye Jingxue's matter was put on hold for the time being, as Shen Yuan's investigation would also take time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming on August 15th.

This is the first big festival that Su Wanwan has celebrated here.

In a normal year, this festival should be the autumn harvest season, but this year the seeds were planted late and the autumn harvest will have to wait until the end of the month.

Ancient people also attached great importance to this festival. As it was the autumn harvest season, even though these days were very busy, they would still make some cakes and other foods to celebrate.

The nobles may have more ways to celebrate, but for the villagers, the best thing is to make some delicious food to improve their lives.

The most important thing is to eat and drink well so that we can devote ourselves to the busy autumn harvest.

There is also a custom during this festival, which is that married daughters go back to their parents’ home to visit their parents, usually a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A few days ago, Su Wanwan discovered that many girls in the village went back to their parents' homes, but they usually went back after noon.

There were also many aunts and young wives who left the village with gifts, probably returning to their parents' homes.

Daliushu Village has now become a benchmark in Tongxu County. Everyone knows that there is an agricultural office here that is cultivating new varieties of grain. The villagers of Daliushu Village now stand very straight.

Moreover, they are obviously richer than other villages now. After all, they have work to do and money to earn. The young wives who return to their parents' homes bring a lot of gifts, making people feel that Daliushu Village is really different.

Even so, there is still no autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, we will sell the grain and get money, and we will become rich again.

The other villages were also deeply jealous, but there was nothing they could do. With people from the Agriculture Department around, they didn't dare to cause trouble.

But the young men from Daliushu Village became the focus of their attention. Some people could already see the bright future of Daliushu Village. Su Wanwan noticed that the matchmaker was visiting Daliushu Village more frequently.

There were several happy events in the past two days.

"Evening, evening."

Su Wanwan plans to prepare some sumptuous dishes today so that her family can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

At this time, the voice of the aunt was heard outside the door, and Xiao Yunyi had already gone to open the door.

Zhang Cuihua saw Su Wanwan picking vegetables in the vegetable garden and immediately came over to stop her.

"Don't do it, Wanwan, let's go to the old house at noon today. Your sister-in-law has already prepared it at home. It's Mid-Autumn Festival, and our two families have to have a reunion dinner."

Zhang Cuihua was very excited because her family's water mill had already been built, so today was a good day to celebrate.

And they also did an experiment yesterday, using some wheat. The speed was so fast that a large sack of wheat was ground into flour without any effort.

And as Wanwan said, it can also automatically separate the fine powder and the bran outside.

Even though it has not yet been harvested in autumn, it can be put into use. After all, many people can be seen grinding flour there.

Now many families in the village are working. If they have spare money and the skills to grind flour, they can go to Shen Yuan's house to work for a day. They don't feel bad about spending a few copper coins to grind flour.

The He family next door has already made an appointment and said they will go to grind flour tomorrow. Her business is about to officially start.

Su Wanwan stopped what she was doing and looked at her aunt's bright smile. She couldn't help but smile too:

"Okay, Auntie, I'll pick some vegetables and bring them over and we'll cook together."

Su Wanwan naturally would not refuse. Only by getting together during the holidays can relatives better maintain the friendship.

Zhang Cuihua watched her picking vegetables and joked:

"It would be a pity if Lord Zhao saw it."

As he was talking, he also joined in the vegetable picking action.

The vegetables from my niece's wife's vegetable garden are really delicious.

"Wanwan, isn't it time to dig the sweet potatoes from your sandy soil? We have dug a lot of sweet potatoes from our vegetable garden. By this time, every household has almost run out of food, and we are all relying on those sweet potatoes to survive."

Zhang Cuihua spoke as she picked beans, her face full of gratitude.

The sweet potatoes in her vegetable garden and those in Wanwan’s sandy soil are from the same batch. They were planted earlier and naturally matured earlier.

At the beginning, my niece-in-law gave gifts to several families, including Feng Gang's family, the village head's family, and He Dazhu's family. They were all planted in the vegetable garden. They were very grateful.

After all, the summer wheat harvest was too little, and many households had run out of food long ago. Fortunately, the villagers now earned some money from working, and they could go to the town to buy some grains to ensure food and clothing.

Their families were even luckier. They didn't have to spend money to buy food. With those sweet potatoes, they could easily survive until the autumn harvest.

"Yes, I've told Lord Zhao that we'll start digging tomorrow."

Su Wanwan nodded. In fact, the sweet potatoes could have been dug a long time ago. When the first batch of sweet potatoes was dug, the county magistrate had to come in person. The county was quite busy these days, so he said that they had to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Oh, tomorrow will be a busy day. I guess all the hoes and shovels in the village will be used."

Zhang Cuihua felt happy just thinking about it. She now had a rough idea of ​​the sweet potato yield, but she couldn't help but feel happy when she weighed the potatoes herself after the official digging.

I guess the whole village will go to watch the fun tomorrow.

The two of them picked some vegetables, and Su Wanwan took two pheasants.

When Zhang Cuihua saw the pheasant, she didn't want to take it, but she couldn't argue with Su Wanwan, so she just took it.

Shen Yuan caught this pheasant in the mountains. He did not give up his hunting habit and would go up the mountain to hunt occasionally.

But Su Wanwan didn't allow him to go into the mountains, so he just wandered around halfway up the mountain and came back within a day.

And Shen Yuan always had a harvest every time he went into the mountains, and there was no shortage of pheasants, rabbits and the like at home.

Su Wanwan called Shen Zhao to look for Yue'er and the others, then went to the workshop to inform Shen Yuan, locked the door, and went to the old house with her aunt.

"Wanwan, Shen Yuan is so busy these days that he doesn't have time to take you back to your parents' home. I'll talk to him later."

On the way, the aunt-in-law saw a married daughter returning to the village, and couldn't help but think that Wanwan also had a mother's family.

She has been married for so many days, but Shen Yuan is so ignorant that he has never thought of taking his wife back to visit him.

Normally, a daughter-in-law should return home a few days after she gets married. There was a drought before, but now the disaster is over, and he should have taken his wife back to his hometown long ago.

"Aunt, don't blame him. He told me that I didn't want to go back. My parents are gone, and I don't have any relatives at home."

Su Wanwan knew that her aunt was afraid that she would feel sad if she saw others going back to her parents' home to visit relatives.

"If I don't have any relatives, I still have my clan members. I have to go back and visit them and burn some paper at my parents' graves."

Zhang Cuihua was outspoken. She naturally knew that Su Wanwan had lost her parents, but when she said it out loud, she wanted to slap herself in the face.

It's a nice day, why bring up these things?

She looked back and saw that Su Wanwan looked depressed.

Su Wanwan was indeed a little sad when she heard this.

She has no parents, but she has grandparents.

Although her grandparents are no longer with us, she cannot even burn a stick of incense for them.

No, she can set up a tablet for her grandparents in this era, or even just put the tablet in a space and wait until important days to hold memorial services for them.

Su Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she cursed herself for not having thought of doing this before.
