Chapter 130 Visiting during busy farming season

It's busy farming time right after. Fortunately, Bai Ruozhu is out of confinement and can help with housework. Otherwise, the second room of the Bai family would really be too busy. But it's not much better now.

The three strongest laborers of the Bai family had all gone to the field. Many people saw Erlang rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs to go to the field, and secretly praised him as a diligent and good young man. Thinking about it, Bai Yibo was not willing to go to the field and wore a straight skirt every day. This comparison is clear.

Lin Ping'er also went to the fields. She has always been capable. She used to be able to support a laborer, but now she is older and can only be regarded as half a strong laborer.

Bai Ruozhu cooked mung bean soup at home, then held the child in one hand and carried a basket to the field. The whole family was busy, and of course every family in the mountain village was like this. The busier the family, the better the harvest. At the same time, every household is in a happy mood.

Of course, there are also people who are unhappy, such as those who have no land, those who have little land, those whose harvests are too poor, and those who cannot work in the fields.

Farmers are diligent, and no matter how busy they are with the autumn harvest, there is rarely too much work in the fields. Unless they have a lot of land at home, they have hired helpers early and calculated the manpower needed. It’s just that there aren’t many like the Bai family’s old residence.

"Boss, go talk to the second brother and ask him to harvest our fields first. Your father and I are not in good health. As a son, he should fulfill his filial piety." The old lady of the Bai family had only been pregnant for a day. I didn't do much work, but I kept complaining about back pain. I screamed when I was drinking porridge at night.

Bai Yibo did not move after hearing the old lady's words, but looked at the old man and asked: "Dad, what do you think?" He deliberately lengthened his voice, obviously acting as if he was following the old man's lead, not to mention that the old man would eat this. set.

The old man had a sullen face, as if he felt that he had broken up with the second bedroom and didn't want to lower his face and go to the second bedroom.

"Master, why don't you say a few words?" The old lady stamped her feet anxiously. She didn't want to be so tired, and even if her waist was broken by fatigue, she wouldn't be able to finish the work in the field. If the harvest was delayed, but It will affect the harvest.

The old man still didn't speak. He just carried the book behind his back like a scholar and stomped around the room.

"Otherwise, please hire two helpers." The old man sighed and said.

The old lady was so stingy on weekdays, how could she be willing to spend this money? She jumped up when she heard it, "Do you want help for free? It's not easy to hire help these days, and the ones you find are ridiculously expensive. You have so much money to burn." Already?"

The old man stared at him fiercely. He was very dissatisfied with the old lady's attitude in speaking. The old lady was still afraid of the old man. She shrank her neck in fear and did not dare to say anything. However, she glanced in the direction of Bai Yibo and signaled him to hurry up. Please help and talk.

Bai Yibo thought for a while and said: "Dad, what mom said is not unreasonable. Good helpers have already settled on a good job. Not to mention the sky-high prices they found now, they are definitely not people who do serious things. I It seems that we have to ask the second child to help. He is a junior and it is his duty to help his parents harvest crops. Could it be that if his son takes the civil service examination, he will be unfilial?"

The old lady's eyes lit up and she nodded to her eldest son. The eldest son is indeed a scholar, no, he is a scholar now. Look how nice and reasonable these words are.

The room became quiet again. The old man didn't speak for a while. Finally, he nodded slightly and said tiredly, "That's all. Boss, please go and talk to your brother later. Let's have a good talk."

The old man is really tired. He also went to the fields today. It's just that he hasn't done much farm work since he was a child. How good can he do now that he's old? No, it cannot be measured by good at all. It should be said that it is not adaptable at all.

Bai Yibo was also not good, but Bai Yibo had just passed the scholar examination, and he was feeling very painful. Even letting Bai Yibo go to the ground felt wronged. As for Saburo at home, it would be good if he could catch up to half the labor force, let alone the fourth child.

He tried his best and wanted to work more because of his age, but he had no choice but to suffer from poor health and inappropriate methods. He didn't accomplish much after working for a whole day, and instead he was laughed at by the folks in the field nearby.

At the same time, Erfang and his family were eating Bai Ruozhu's improved hand cakes and drinking Qinghuo medicinal soup. Everyone was in a good mood, because the harvest in the fields was very good, and the family's food rations were no longer a problem.

Just after the meal was finished, there was a knock on the door outside, and everyone's expressions changed when they heard Bai Yibo's voice.

"Look, I knew it would come sooner or later. This year's arrival is not as late as last year. It's just one more day of work that I don't want to do." Lin Ping'er threw away the rag in her hand angrily, not even wanting to wipe the table. .

Bai Zepei went over and picked up the rag and continued to wipe it. Even though he had passed the clerkship exam, he was still helping with the housework. He didn't care that the gentleman was far away in the kitchen. If he needed help in the kitchen, he would help at any time.

It's just that he has been busy in the field during the day, and he still has time to study at night. Being admitted as a scholar is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go, so he can't just relax in his studies. So when Lin Ping'er saw him going to work, she felt distressed again, grabbed the rag and continued to wipe the table.

No one in the family wanted to open the door, but Bai Yibo's scream outside was so loud that the neighbors heard it. It was impossible not to open the door. In the end, Bai Yihong slowly opened the door.

"Second brother, why are you so slow to open the door? Don't you welcome me as your big brother?" Bai Yibo shouted unhappily when he saw Bai Yihong arriving late.

Bai Yihong was still honest and honest. He didn't know what to say for a while, but Lin Ping'er followed him and said loudly: "His uncle wants our whole family to die. How dare we welcome him?"

Lin Ping'er was a quick talker. As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of suppressed laughter came from the yard next to her, making everyone who was listening to the excitement couldn't help but laugh.

Bai Yibo's face suddenly turned red to the root of his neck. His drunken behavior that day was simply the biggest bad deed of his life. He wished that no one would remember it, but Lin Ping'er mentioned it without concealment. At this moment, he He was ashamed and hateful, wishing that his second brother would divorce this woman.

"The words of the second younger brother and sister are too rude. They are all drunken words. There is no need to be so petty and grudge, right?" Bai Yibo said, glaring at Lin Ping'er with murderous eyes.

Bai Yihong moved his steps to block his wife, as if protecting Lin Ping'er.

"Brother has a broad mind. Don't say such drunken words in the future." Bai Yihong said coldly.

Bai Ruozhu followed her two brothers to the door. When she heard her father's words, she almost couldn't help but cheer loudly. Her father's combat effectiveness has improved, and he also knows how to sarcastically address the enemy.
