The children were immediately stumped, mainly because they didn’t know how to name it, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong sounded pretty good!

He Jiuniang thought for a while and then said: "Black and red are their characteristics and can be retained. Just add another word at the end."

The children suddenly wrinkled. I frowned and thought hard, what should I call it?

"Yes, they can run as fast as the wind. How is the wind, mother?"

The dog looked at He Jiu Niang with a smile, hoping to get her approval.

"Black Wind..."

He Jiuniang thought about it and thought it was good, then said: "The black horse is called Black Wind, and the red horse is a girl. , you have to give it a gentler name."

"It is a girl!"

The little tiger scratched his head, no wonder it is red, So lovely.

"Sister Lianhua's name is nice, why don't we call her Honghua!"

Leizi once again made a shocking statement, He Jiuniang's face wrinkled up, this child... ...how to put it? Pretty much that!

So, she guided the children and said: "Begging is good, tell me what flowers do you know?"

Leizi was the first to say: "Wild flowers Wild flowers!"

He Jiuniang: ...

In order not to damage the child's self-confidence, He Jiuniang smiled on the surface: "That's right, that's right! What else?"
< br />The dog raised his hand: "I know! Chrysanthemums!"

On the way to Jingzhou, He Jiu Niang took the dog to pet him. When he saw a bush of wild chrysanthemums, He Jiu Niang spread the word to him. I didn’t expect him to still remember the knowledge about flowers. The old mother was very pleased.

“Cockscomb!”

Girl You also raised her hand.

"Osmanthus!"

Ting Yatou, who has always been quiet, couldn't help but speak.

He Jiuniang nodded with a smile: "You are all right, do you know what kind of flower it is?"

Leizi was still not to be outdone: "Cauliflower!"

He Jiuniang’s smiling face suddenly froze, this child is really awesome!

She has given up struggling, thank you!

At this time, Old Man Lu also came out. Hearing their discussion, he couldn't help but join in: "I went out to escort people earlier, and I know that noble people like orchids and peonies very much. On Orchid Mountain You can see a lot of them, and there are many types, but I have never seen peonies, I only knowThat is a flower that symbolizes wealth, it is very precious! ”

　“Wow! The children all opened their eyes wide and said, "Peony, what a nice name!" "

You girl said again: "Third sister-in-law, let's just call Ma'er Peony, okay? ”

Red Peony.

It sounds a bit like the name of a certain flower shop, but it does sound good. At least it is better matched than the ones mentioned before. It’s easier to pronounce.

He Jiuniang nodded and said with a smile: “Okay, then it will be called Red Peony from now on. You can call it Peony if you want! ”

The children began to cheer around the two horses, celebrating that they had such cool and nice names.

Old man Lu looked at his children smiling so happily. , in a good mood, he took the initiative to lead the two horses out, waved his hand and said: "Let's go, grandpa will take you to let the horses go!" "

A group of children just ran away with Old Man Lu. He Jiuniang smiled and walked into the house to help everyone clean up.

The Yus were talking: "Mother, Now that we live here, the land has not yet been secured. Men are building houses, and we women can’t help. I’m thinking about going to the nearby mountains early tomorrow morning to see if I can carve out some land. We still have to grow our own food. "

Mrs. Qin, Lu Guilan and Mrs. Shen immediately said, "Sister-in-law, let's go with you! "

He Jiuniang stood at the door, a little embarrassed. She didn't want to go anyway.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she said: "You can also visit the nearby barren mountains, but We still need to ask if any family in the village wants to sell their land. Let's buy some and plant it. Otherwise, we will definitely not be able to support our big family just relying on the barren land in the barren mountains. "

Everyone nodded, but suddenly they looked sad again. Lu Guilan said: "How can a normal family be willing to sell their land? What's more, there are very few fields in Anping Village. Maybe each family doesn't have much land. We are willing to buy, but others may not be willing to sell! "

"There are always people who are willing to sell, such as those who have a small family but a lot of land, just ask more, I will take care of it. ”

He Jiuniang patted her chest and promised that although they had asked the village chief to ask for help before, they could not do nothing themselves. They had to at least inquire about the price of land on the market first. I won’t be deceived.

“Okay, then I’ll bother my third brother and sister! "

The grandmothers and the others were chatting and laughing, and Mrs. Sun reminded: "Be careful not to be tricked. ”

She doesn’t worry about anyone else, but she can’t worry about He JiuniangThat big grudge, just because he had some money, didn't consider the price issue at all.

He Jiuniang only thought it was funny and nodded: "I know, don't worry!"

The family quickly packed up the thatched shed to ensure that they could sleep at night It would be more comfortable, so Mrs. Yu was going to kill the chickens and fish and stew soup first, so that they could eat it in the evening. As for Mrs. Qin, they wanted to dig wild vegetables in the mountains and make soup for lunch later.

Mr. Sun does not need to worry about these things, everyone will consciously find something to do.

He Jiuniang also wanted to visit the mountains. People say that those who rely on the mountains will eat the mountains. She had to go and investigate the conditions in the mountains to see what she could do to make a living. Otherwise, what would the family gain by just farming? When can I get rich?

Just as they were about to go out, Mr. Lu and a group of men came back. They were arranged by Mr. Lu to buy stones to build the foundation, but they came back empty-handed.

"What's going on? Didn't you go buy stones? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

" Lu Laoer sighed: "It's too expensive, the bigger one costs thirty. It costs one penny, and the smaller one costs more than ten pence a piece, and the broken one costs ten pence per carriage. I don’t think it’s worth it, so I’ll come back and ask everyone what they think, otherwise we’ll have to go up the mountain to quarry the stone ourselves!”< br />
This price is indeed ridiculously expensive. In the past, thirty pennies would have bought at least five large rocks.

Sun asked: "How could this happen?"

"It is said that there are many refugees coming to Jingzhou to seek refuge, and the prices of all kinds of things have increased, so the prices of stones have also increased. ."

"It's ridiculous! It's just that the price of food has increased, why are the stone sellers joining in the fun?"

" Sun was so angry that Lu Guilan was worried about her old man. I was so angry that I hurriedly patted her chest to calm her down.

Lu Laoer nodded: "I think so too. It just so happened that several elder brothers in the village said that there are a lot of rocks on the mountain, so why not mine it ourselves? It's a little more troublesome, but it can save a lot. Money."

Ms. Qin said: "But will it be dangerous to mine it by yourself? The stone is a big one. If you are injured..."

She said, somewhat He pulled Lu Lao Er's hand worriedly, his eyes filled with worry.
