The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 42 Chen Qingliao helps her grow vegetables

The fool understood immediately. She thought for a moment and said, "Whoever has a plow, I'll borrow it."

Yuhua pinched the fool's face again and said, "You still need two old oxen to plow the fields in your front and back yard? Can the oxen turn away?"

The fool said: "What should we do?"

Yuhua said: "Look for a fork, I will use it to loosen the soil for you."

Chen Qingsheng, who was working at the same time, said, "You two, stop doing it. Wait until my elder brother comes back, or do it at night when I can't do the woodwork."

Yuhua said generously: "No one needs it. This is just a little more land, and I can plant it for fools."

The fool looked at Yuhua and said, "Your mother-in-law is reluctant to let you do farm work, so you come here to grow vegetables for me. Is that okay?"

Yuhua said: "If you keep grinding for a while, I have to go home to cook. Just tell me where your tools are."

The fool said: "Come with me and see if there is anything you want."

After going to the side house, Yuhua picked out the tools that could be used for farming among a pile of tools, and then took them to the yard.

Yuhua said: "First dig the soil in the backyard. The backyard is big."

A fool doesn't know how to farm, so he has no choice but to listen to Yuhua.

Judging from Yuhua's working posture, she must have done this job before, and she is quite skilled. With such a big belly, she really can't do this job, so she can only watch from the side.

The fool finally understood why there is such a term as men farming and women weaving. Farming is really not something women can do anymore. Yuhua’s work became more and more difficult. The fool said: "Yuhua, stop loosening the soil. Just take a rest."

Yuhua wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I do this job every year, but I didn't do it this year. I got used to it after a while."

The fool understood clearly that this was physical work. The more you worked, the greater the physical exertion. She said: "There is no rush to plant in this land. What you plant is what you plant."

Yuhua stuck her fork in the soil, scolded the fool and said, "Didn't you just think that I was too slow to finish planting in three or four days? Now you are not in a hurry?"

The fool pulled Yuhua to the front yard and said, "Didn't I understand before? Aren't I heartbroken to see you so tired? You can plant a few vegetables to eat, and I don't ask for them all."

Yuhua pointed at the yard and said, "It's a waste if you don't plant it if it's empty. Plant it slowly and I can help you plant it."

The fool picked up the kettle in the yard, poured a cup for Yuhua and said, "If you plant anything this year, it will grow on its own every year."

Yuhua took the water glass and drank the water while thinking, and then said: "It really does."

The fool's eyes that couldn't be opened suddenly widened and he said, "What can be so easy?"

Yuhua said: "Leeks and fruit trees, these are the only two things I can think of."

The fool said: "Then let's plant these two kinds, right?"

Yuhua looked at the fool and said, "I don't know whether you are a real fool or a fake fool. Can the fruits of fruit trees be used for cooking? Can you eat leeks every day?"

The fool insisted: "I want to plant leeks and fruit trees. This will save trouble."

Yuhua looked at the fool's expectant eyes and said, "Why do you say wind is rain? I can help you plant a piece of leeks. Forget about the fruit trees this year. The tree planting season has passed. Let's wait until next year."

The fool nodded and said, "Okay."

After resting, Yuhua went to work for a while, and then went back when it was time to cook.

The fool couldn't do anything but cook, so she also went into the house to cook. Before the meal was ready, Chen Qingliao came and went directly to the backyard to loosen the soil. Chen Qingliao did a really good job. It was much faster than Yuhua. When Fool went to ask him to come in for dinner, a big piece had already been loosened.

The fool said: "Brother Chen, let's go inside and eat first."

Chen Qingliao said very politely: "I will go home to eat in a while. You can go in and eat by yourself, and don't worry about me."

The fool said: "I'll bring you and Chen Qingsheng food. Eat first, don't worry about gardening."

When Chen Qingliao heard what the fool said, he had no choice but to put down what he was doing and go into the house. He found that his youngest son was already sitting at the dining table waiting for them.

A few people were chatting while eating, and the fool asked Chen Qingliao: "Brother Chen, how was the tour today? Is it done?"

Chen Qingliao said with a smile: "It didn't work out. Someone else took it over. The house builder gave me a little less money. They built a red house. There are many people in our group. We want to negotiate a fair price, but we haven't negotiated it yet." Achievements were snatched away by others."

The fool said: "Is this job still easy to find?"

Chen Qingliao said: "I'll go out and have a look tomorrow. We can only work for a few months in a year. Once it freezes, we can't work anymore. We can take advantage of the good time and pick up two or three more jobs."

When a fool thought about it, it was really not easy. After all, this was a construction project, which in modern times was also called an engineer. At last, he was a contractor. It was so difficult to find a job.

The fool said: "Is it easy to find a job?"

Chen Qingliao said: "There are more masons working than building houses. Look at the many strong laborers in the village. There are many jobs that do not require skills in building houses. Do you think they can't do it? There is no one." Yes, there are more and more people who want to learn crafts from us every year. It’s not that we don’t teach. Our group of more than [-] people can’t get much money to build a house. If someone joins us, we won’t make any money. Your family Yuhua, who is a good neighbor to you, has no work to do as her husband-in-law has come to find me this year. We don’t need so many people. If we add one more person, some money will be taken away. We won’t be able to build a few houses throughout the year. There is no other way, unless everyone builds houses when they have money in the future.”

The fool could understand what Chen Qingliao said. The economy was not good and labor was worthless. She asked Chen Qingliao: "Brother Chen, will your family build a house this year?"

She remembered that Uncle Chen said last year that he wanted to build a house this year and marry his son a wife.

Chen Qingliao said with a smile: "After my father saw your house, he said he would not build it this year. He will work for another two years and build a house similar to yours. Then half of it will be reserved for the third son to get a wife, and the other half will be used for his retirement."

Chen Qingsheng, who was eating well, said: "I can't live in such a good house. This house is so expensive. Our family won't be able to build it if we work for another three or four years. If I wait until I live in such a good house before marrying a wife, I will I have to beat the bachelor,"

The fool and Chen Qingliao present all laughed. Chen Qingliao looked at Chen Qingsheng and said, "Look at your future."

As soon as he saw Chen Qingliao, he felt very fond of their third child. Chen Qingsheng laughed and continued to eat.

Chen Qingliao looked at the laughing fool and said, "Little fool, what should I plant in the vegetable garden?"

The fool thought for a while but couldn't figure out what to plant or what could be grown. Chen Qingliao looked at the fool's hesitation and said, "Grow some vegetables you like to eat."

While eating, Chen Qingsheng said, "My sister-in-law loves leeks, so you can grow leeks for her." After saying this, Chen Qingsheng burst into laughter.

Chen Qingliao smiled and said, "Really?"

The fool knew that Chen Qingsheng was laughing at her, so she nodded and said, "Yeah."

Chen Qingliao said: "You can't just grow leeks in such a big place, and you can't eat leeks every day."

Before the fool could say anything, Chen Qingsheng spoke again: "She wants to plant fruit trees."

Chen Qingliao looked at the fool and said, "Really?"

The fool had no choice but to tilt his head and nod.

Chen Qingliao said: "Plant two more trees next year. Trees planted in this season are prone to death."

Chen Qingsheng said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is just lazy. She doesn't want to plant vegetables every year, she just wants to grow vegetables once and harvest them every year."

Chen Qingliao couldn't hold back his laughter at this time. Who would have imagined that a vegetable gardening fool would have so many twists and turns.

But Chen Qingliao is very good at talking. He said: "Well, almost every family will plant a piece of leeks. It will indeed grow every year in the future. The fruit trees are also very good. Some families will also have one or two."

The fool nodded without changing his expression and said, "Mainly, I also like to eat leeks and fruits."

Chen Qingliao smiled and said: "I will plant leeks for you first tomorrow."

The fool got up early the next day. She agreed to accompany Yuhua to Guanyin Temple to ask for a child today. After eating, she cleaned up for herself and waited in the yard for Yuhua to come to her.

Yuhua came early enough. When the air was still cool in the morning, Yuhua knocked on the door of her house. When the fool saw it was Yuhua, he said: "Wait for me, I will go to the backyard and tell Brother Chen and we will Walk."

When the fool went to the backyard, Chen Qingliao was still busy. He was digging soil on the loosened land. The fool didn't know what he was doing, but she knew that what Brother Chen did was definitely right. There was no need for her to question. I doubt that I am the one who made the joke in the end.

She smiled and said to Chen Qingliao: "Brother Chen, Yuhua and I are going out."

Chen Qingliao stopped what he was doing and said, "Go ahead, don't go too far."

The fool smiled and nodded and left. Chen Qingliao watched the fool go and continue working. He heard the fool say yesterday that he would not go to the city to set up a stall today. He would go out to play with Yuhua. Yuhua competed. The fool is older, so he thinks it would be nice to take him out to play.

Chen Qingsheng, who was working in the yard, saw the fool walking out and said, "Sister-in-law, will you be back at noon?"

The fool knew the true meaning of Chen Qingsheng's question. She said to Chen Qingsheng: "You may not be able to come back at noon. If you are hungry, just go inside and cook for yourself."

Chen Qingsheng shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll go home for lunch."

Chen Qingsheng didn't know how to cook, but he was greedy. Ever since he ate the first meal cooked by Fool, he had been thinking about Fool's food.

The fool was afraid of delaying the good time to worship the Bodhisattva, so she hurried out. Only when she walked out the door of her house did she see Yuhua still carrying a basket in her hand.

The fool asked Yuhua: "Yuhua, why do you bring a basket?"

Yuhua said with a smile: "I brought some incense. Don't we have to worship Bodhisattva later? We will give a stick of incense to Bodhisattva later."

Yuhua set off in a hurry. She held Fool's hand and said as she walked, "It's okay. You can do whatever I want you to do after a while."

The fool asked Yuhua: "Do I want to bow too?"

Yuhua said: "You have already gone, why don't you pray? If you don't pray, it will be in vain. If you don't pray, it will be in vain. By praying, you can keep the child in your belly safe."

The fool nodded, and she thought to herself, that's all.

The fool asked Yuhua: "Yuhua, is this Guanyin Temple far from our village?"
