Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 167 Planting Peppers

"Who?"

"Auntie, it's me, An Yue."

When Aunt Wang opened the gate of the yard and saw An Yue, she looked a little surprised.

An Yue smiled at her.

She warmly welcomed An Yue into the courtyard gate: "It's Yueyue, come in quickly."

She closed the door and continued to ask, "Hasn't Yueyue been busy building a house these days? How come you have time to come and play with Ke'er?"

"Auntie, Ke'er is very busy all day, so Yueyue dare not disturb her. Yueyue came here today to ask if you have any extra cabbage seeds. Yueyue wants to plant some vegetables in the yard of her new home."

After hearing this, Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Just wait, I'll get it for you right away." After saying that, she turned around and went into the house.

After a while, she came out with a small bag of cabbage seeds and handed it to An Yue: "These are the cabbage seeds left over from last year."

After saying that, Aunt Wang handed the cabbage seeds to An Yue.

Then she added, "These are celery and pepper seeds. I've given you some of each."

An Yue happily took the vegetable seeds and thanked her, "That's great, thank you, Auntie!"

"Oh! You are so polite to me, Auntie. Just take them and plant them!" Aunt Li said with a smile.

An Yue held the seeds and looked at them. Aunt Wang saw that An Yue had no intention of leaving, so she asked, "Yueyue finally came here, why don't you go talk to Ke'er for a while?"

An Yue thought about it. Wang Hu had asked his wife to help and asked him to bring Ke'er out as well, but he didn't bring her out in the end. It seemed that Wang Hu couldn't persuade his mother.

I thought since I was already here and we hadn't seen each other for a long time, I might as well go find her and talk.

So, An Yue smiled at Aunt Wang and nodded.

Aunt Wang pointed to the west room and said, "She is in her sister-in-law's room, go!"

"Okay, thank you, Auntie!" After saying that, An Yue walked towards their west room.

An Yue went to the west room and talked with her aunt and sister-in-law for a while. After sitting for a while, she got up and prepared to go back to her home.

An Yue came out of the west room and saw Aunt Wang sweeping the yard with a broom. An Yue said to her, "Auntie, Yue Yue will go back first."

"Why don't you sit a little longer? It's not easy for you to come here."

"As you know, there are a lot of things going on at home these days, so it's not advisable to delay for too long."

"Then I won't keep you here anymore." As she said that, Aunt Wang helped An Yue open the gate of the yard.

As An Yue walked out of the door, she did not forget to remind An Yue: "Oh, by the way, Yueyue, after sowing the seeds, you must pay attention to watering and fertilizing them so that they can grow well."

An Yue turned around, waved at her, and said with a smile: "Well, Yueyue will remember it!"

After An Yue left Wang's house, she went straight home with the seeds.

Returning to the yard of her new home, An Yue picked up the hoe in the corner of the yard and began to loosen the soil.

After the soil was turned over, it became much softer.

She put down the hoe and turned to get the dustpan.

Taking a winnowing basket to the small earthen stove, she took out some wood ash and sprinkled it evenly on the freshly loosened ground. Then she used a hoe to mix the wood ash and soil thoroughly.

Then clean and level the soil around the vegetable plot and draw three dividing lines.

Draw a dividing line and plant the cabbage, celery and peppers separately to make it easier to manage the vegetable field later.

After taking care of the dividing line, An Yue took out the celery, pepper and cabbage seeds and began to sparsely spread the seeds on the ground.

After sowing the seeds, An Yue went to fetch a bucket of water and evenly watered the vegetable field.

After watering the fields, she stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Looking at the vegetable field in front of her where the seeds had been sown, she began to look forward to the field being full of vegetables in the near future.

Like the emerald green celery, the peppers growing all over the trees, and the endless cabbages, An Yue couldn't help but smile when she thought about them.

As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on her body like soft silk. An Yue stands up and pats her back.

The workers packed up their tools and prepared to go home.

While they were gone, An Yue checked the progress of the work.

The carpenter had already installed the gate to the courtyard and the door to the main hall, leaving only the wooden doors of the two rooms in the west wing unfinished.

The tiles of the main hall and the two east and west side rooms have been covered, and only the two west wing rooms are left to be covered with tiles. The tiles of the two wing rooms can be covered tomorrow.

However, there were only two carpenters, a father and his son, and there were too many pieces of furniture to make.

For example, windows, bed frames, wardrobes, cupboards, round tables, benches and short stools, and bath tubs, all need to be made, and no one knows when they will be completed.

An Yue walked around and came to the eaves of the kitchen. She saw that the kitchen was empty and the stove had not been set up yet.

At this time, An Nian came back from the town school.

He saw An Yue standing under the eaves of the kitchen, and ran towards her quickly.

He ran and shouted, "Sister."

An Yue smiled and waved at An Nian, motioning An Nian to come over to her.

"Come here soon, Niannian."

An Nian walked up to An Yue, looked at her tired face, and asked, "Sister, are you tired today?"

An Yue shook her head and smiled, "I am a little tired, but I don't feel tired anymore when I think that we will be able to move into this new home soon and live a life that belongs to us two siblings."

When An Nian heard that they were going to move to a new house, he jumped up and down excitedly.

"That's great! We're finally going to have our own home!"

An Nian accidentally noticed that the soil in the vegetable patch beside the courtyard gate had been loosened, so he asked, "Sister, have you planted vegetables in the courtyard?"

An Yue pulled An Nian to the vegetable patch and said, "Yeah! I wonder if these vegetables will sprout!"

"Don't worry! They will grow well with my sister's careful care."

"I hope so! It's getting late, let's go back!"

The brother and sister smiled at each other, and their eyes were filled with longing for the future.

The brother and sister simply packed up the things in the yard and gently closed the gate.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared, and the brother and sister walked in the direction of the afterglow.

Soon, they returned to the village chief's house.

The door of the village chief's main house was open. It seemed that the village chief and his wife had just returned home after finishing their farm work.

After the brother and sister put their things in the east room, they went to the main room to prepare dinner.

The spring breeze is silent, time lingers, and in the blink of an eye, five days have passed.

The roof tiles have all been covered, and the windows, bed frames and stoves have also been prepared one by one.

Today is an auspicious day for moving.

Before dawn, the brother and sister got up and started packing their luggage.

An Nian was particularly excited early in the morning. He happily packed his luggage to move away.

After packing their luggage, the brother and sister went to the main house to have breakfast with the village chief and his wife.

After breakfast, Qin took a cloth bag to fill with rice, and the village chief bundled a bundle of firewood.

An Yue collected the dishes and went to the kitchen, while An Nian was wiping the table in the main room.

Just at this moment, my grandparents and uncle arrived from Jiang's house driving a ox cart.
