Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 317 Sudden Waves (Happy Lantern Festival!)

"My son's father, why did you agree to let them stay overnight? I don't think these brothers and sisters look like they are living in poverty. Poor people shouldn't be dressed like this. Are you not afraid that they have other plans? "

Under the night, the small courtyard was very quiet, and the brother and sister seemed to have fallen asleep.

Under such circumstances, the woman finally asked this question to her husband who was still asleep.

And the man lying flat on the bed turned around and faced the mother of the child who was lying on the bed just now, as if he stayed up late just to wait for her question, and finally spoke:

"Cui, I know what you're worried about. The faces of the brothers and sisters don't look like the faces of poor people. They look too tender and clean, not rough at all. They don't seem to be working children in the village. Kind of like the people in the city, right?"

Hearing what her man said, the woman frowned, turned sideways, put her head on her right arm, and looked at her man:
"Since you can see it, why do you agree with them to live in? You still don't charge money?"

Stretching out his hand to touch his mother-in-law's face, the man felt the slightly rough touch in the palm of his hand, knowing that this was the trace left by the woman for the care of the family all these years.

"Because I noticed not only their faces, but also their hands," the man said.

"Their hands?"

She stretched out a hand and put it on the palm of the man's face, the woman was a little puzzled.

"Yes, their hands. Just as the experience on the face cannot be shaped in a short time, the experience on the hands is also the same."

Speaking of this, the man moved his hands away from the woman's face, then took the woman's two hands, and put his own hand between them.

"Touch it, is it true that the hands of those of us who work are rough? Five or six years ago, we were still able to enter the city. Didn't you also see it at that time? The hands of those rich people are so smooth ah……"

Feeling the rough grinding in her hand, the woman nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood something.

"The hands of the brothers and sisters are not the hands of those noble people, especially the boy. His hands must be the hands of people who have done a lot of work and suffered a lot. And the big boy's purse should you You can see it, the textured style must have been made for him by the villagers when they saw him off."

"Besides, whether it's him or his sister, you should have noticed that when facing us, they are quite...pretty..."

"Politeness." The woman added what the man wanted to say.

"Yes! It's polite! This pair of brothers and sisters are very polite when they ask for our help, and even want to give us the little soul coin. Such a hard-working and polite person, what kind of bad person is it? ? Probably because the village has experienced the current situation in our village, so they choose to go out to escape and seek refuge with their relatives."

"And with the current situation in our family, what can others do? Don't worry, go to sleep."

The man put the woman in his arms, put his chin on the woman's head, closed his eyes and said softly.

"En." After thinking for a short while, the woman nodded in the man's arms, echoed in a low voice, then closed her eyes, no longer worried.

And just after the sound of the main house disappeared and the snoring sounded slightly, Fan Yun, who was lying sideways on the bed with Zhu Zhuqing in the utility room of the small courtyard, closed his eyes.

……

In the early morning, in the earth dam of the farmland, a thin man had already arrived in the field early.

There are almost no free days in the countryside throughout the year. Men have to take advantage of these few days to hurry up and tidy up the crops in the fields. After a while, it will be time for reclamation and sowing.

Now we have to harvest the mature crops in the field as soon as possible, and then finish the preparatory work for the next crop, otherwise we may miss the opportunity to sow wheat.

Holding a sickle in his hand and a shovel behind his back, the man skillfully tidied up the crops in the field.

"Yo, Brother Zhu, I'm here to help you!"

A slightly passionate voice came from the field not far away. The man straightened his waist, turned around and looked over. It was the big boy who brought his sister to his house to stay overnight.

The big boy was holding a sickle in his hand. The man knew it and it belonged to his family.It seems that the boy went to ask Cui to borrow his help.

He waved his hand at the little brother, and the man smiled: "Then come down, thank you brother."

"What's the matter, this is what it should be. You took our brother and sister to stay for one night yesterday. It's too late for us to thank you. Before you leave, doing some farm work for you can be regarded as a repayment."

Jumping off the ridge of the field, Fan Yun walked to the side of this big brother Zhu, and began to harvest the crops in the field without jerky movements.

It's not that Fan Yun doesn't know how to do farm work. Although Fan Yun didn't do much when he was in the village, he has seen a lot. Then he went to the Sunset Forest. When he first lived with the white bird and the big cat, almost everything Fan Yun took care of all housework and farm work.

Therefore, Fan Yun still knows a thing or two about some work such as reclamation, sowing and harvesting.

Seeing Fan Yun's skillful movements, the man who was half a body behind him silently withdrew his gaze, nodded secretly to confirm his psychological guess.

Although this big boy didn't look like much on his face, he should have come out of the village and done a lot of farm work.

The two moved quickly, and finished harvesting the field before the sun reached the middle of the sky.

With his hips akimbo, the man threw the tool on the field ridge and wiped his sweat. He really didn't expect this young man to be so capable!
All morning, I didn't stop, and I didn't feel uncomfortable in my waist and knees just bending over to work like this, as if I couldn't run out of energy, just kept doing it like this.Originally, a man's workload of one and a half days was finished by this young man in one morning.

"You are really strong, you are a good breadwinner!"

Giving a thumbs up, the man gave a heartfelt admiration.

Fan Yun smiled and touched the back of his head, but did not reply.

However, while Fan Yun was chatting with Big Brother Zhu, a commotion not far away interrupted the leisurely atmosphere after the busy work here.

"I beg you! Can you give our family a few more days? We really don't have any extra money! The money was used to treat my father! Now the family can't afford to start a stove! A few more days, Please! Just a few more days, please!"

A heart-piercing voice came from a small courtyard not far away with a hint of despair.

Not long after, with the sound of beatings and tables and chairs being broken, several well-dressed people came out of the yard following a man wearing a hat and holding a money bag in his hand.

After walking out of the yard, the group of people glanced at the surrounding villagers who were paying attention to their eyes. After the villagers noticed the sight of these people, they immediately moved their eyes away, backed away, and ran back to their small house. hospital.

The leader gave a cold snort, and then left the village with the people behind, leaving only the family still in the small courtyard, howling and weeping.

And after the group of people left, the people in the village came out of their small courtyard and rushed to the house of the person who had just encountered misfortune.

And Fan Yun followed Brother Zhu to the small courtyard not too far away.

"Brother Zhu, what happened just now?" Fan Yun asked.

Is the family owed money?But it doesn't seem like it...

"Ah... people from the county came to collect money again... Basically they come to search once a month... Not only our village, but also several other surrounding villages."

The man sighs.

"The father of that family was sick some time ago, and the treatment cost a lot of money, so I can't afford the money during this time of year, so I tried to ask those people to postpone the payment for a few days. Today should be the group People couldn't bear it anymore and came to forcefully collect the money."

"Oh... I hope that family can survive..."
