Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Listen to what Liu Meixiang and Liu Fusheng said.

Looking at Xiaoxue who was sobbing with her head down, Liu Yu and Changsheng looked at each other.

"Xiaoxue, maybe my uncle will go to the bamboo forest to catch a bamboo rat for you."

Liu Yu had a headache. This little thing loved to burrow into the ground, but it was difficult to catch. Xiaoxue kept crying silently. Because he didn't cry loudly, it was particularly distressing.

"Really!"

Xiaoxue raised her head, her eyes were red, the tip of her nose was also red, but there was a smile in her mouth, and she looked at Liu Yu with some surprise.

He hurriedly looked at Liu Meixiang's face again. Seeing that my mother's face was not very good, she hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, I'm busy at home, I can't cause trouble!"

Her mother told her in private that they were currently staying at Grandma's house. Her Grandma was getting older, so she should be good and not cause trouble to everyone.

Liu Yu had a full view of Xiaoxue and Liu Meixiang's lawsuit, but he didn't expose it.

He only handed the bamboo cage to Liu Meixiang: "Sister, this bamboo rat just died. Let's clean it up while it's hot! Changsheng and I took Xiaoxue to go for a walk in the bamboo forest. We may not be able to catch the bamboo rat. I'll dig it up. Some winter bamboo shoots are back!"

Liu Meixiang silently took the bamboo cage, told Xiaoxue not to run around and follow her uncle, then took the bamboo cage and went to take care of the bamboo rats.

The winter sun was blocked by layers of bamboo leaves. As soon as one stepped into the bamboo forest, it felt very cold. Liu Yu touched Xiaoxue's little hand and found that it was warm, so she felt relieved.

Bamboo rats are timid and afraid of light, and are often found deep in the bamboo forest. Liu Yu is carrying a basket on her back, holding a shovel in one hand, and holding Xiaoxue in the other, telling her what she knows about the habits of bamboo rats.

Changsheng held a bamboo stick as a support and followed the two of them, adding supplements from time to time. He had caught this thing by chance when he was hungry before, and the meat was really tender when he grilled it.

Guessing that it was quite deep, Liu Yu let go of Xiaoxue and started searching carefully. Bamboo rats during the day were timid and vigilant, and some greedy and naughty ones would crawl out of their holes to look for food.

Most of them dig holes directly from the ground to the bamboo roots and gnaw them directly.

Liu Yu followed the traces of trampled yellow weeds in the bamboo forest, and soon heard Xi Xi's whimpering voice, before Liu Yu showed a surprised expression.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a piece of clothes, and a familiar face poked out from the bamboo pole behind my ear. The man grinned: "Ayu, Changsheng, what are you two doing!"

This bastard looks like a fool who deserves a beating. Who else could he be if he wasn't Liu Shan?

"Ah, Xiaoxue is here too. It's so cold in this bamboo forest, don't let it freeze!"

"Third uncle, I'm not cold, my hands are warm!"

Xiaoxue has recognized everyone in the past few days since she came here. She knows that this is the uncle of her third grandfather's family. Every time she comes to the old house, she will give her some snacks.

The little girl was also happy to see Liu Shan now, and her voice became clearer.

Liu Yu explained clearly the reason for coming to the bamboo forest in a few words, and he also walked to Liu Shan.

"Third brother, you have dug so many winter bamboo shoots!"

The large baskets carried by Liushan could no longer be stacked, and some recently dug out fat and tender winter bamboo shoots were lying scattered on the ground nearby.

"I came here at dawn. I dug so much in such a long time. Isn't it too much?"

Liushan is not very satisfied with his record.

No wonder the eldest and second brothers didn't see this person when they sent home New Year's gifts. It turned out that he had gone into the bamboo forest early in the morning.

"Third brother, you are working so hard just to save the betrothal gift!"

Liu Yu is married. She could not tell jokes before, but now she can tell them without any pressure.

"How did you know that I was saving up the betrothal gift? My mother went to the old house to talk!"

Liu Shan clicked his tongue.

His casual joke turned out to be true. Liu Yu glanced at Changsheng who said nothing, and saw curiosity in his eyes.

Xiaoxue couldn't stand still, and was helping Liushan collect all the scattered winter bamboo shoots. The bamboo forest was cold and it was easy to move around, so it became colder as she stood. Liuyu saw how busy she was and didn't care about her.

"Third brother, your marriage is planned!"

The family has been busy with my eldest sister's affairs these days. The New Year is getting closer and closer, and I am so busy that I have forgotten about my third brother's marriage. When I saw my third aunt during the day, I forgot to ask my third brother about his marriage.

"I haven't even written a word yet, but your third uncle and third aunt told me privately that my sister-in-law's betrothal gift that day was five taels of silver for a bowl of water. When I discussed the marriage, the betrothal gift was also five taels."

Liu Shan dug up the bulging soil around his feet in twos and twos, and there was a nest of fat and tender winter bamboo shoots underneath.

While picking up the winter bamboo shoots, he said: "My sister-in-law is very nice. After knowing about it, she just said that the world should move forward. This moment and the moment, there is no need to follow her. It doesn't hurt to have more."

Liu Shan sighed: "How can I be so shameless to ask my parents to prepare so many betrothal gifts? Moreover, if the betrothal gift is really higher than that of my sister-in-law, I will overwhelm my sister-in-law. When the future husband comes in, I will have this problem for a long time. I'm afraid It’s not a good situation either.”

Liu Yu nodded frequently after listening. It had to be said that although Liu Shan was a man, he thought very carefully, even thinking about how the new husband would get along with his mother-in-law's family after he came home.

I have to say that he is a good husband, but...

Liu Yu looked at Liu Shan, who was frowning slightly, and smiled jokingly: "How did you know that the elder brother is the husband? What if he hired a girl to marry?"

"You...!" Liu Shan's expression froze, as if he had been exposed, and there was a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Liu Shan was always cheeky, but now his cheeks turned red. Liu Yu found it funny and joked a few more times.

Chang Sheng hurriedly tugged on Liu Yu's sleeve, signaling him to stop and hold back a little, but Liu Shan's face looked as red as if he had drunk wine, dripping blood.

It really pisses off people later, and it makes me look stupid!

"Third brother, where are you going to sell these bamboo shoots?"

The restaurants in town can’t handle these winter bamboo shoots.

"I plan to sell it in Xinlin. There are many restaurants in the county, so I think it will sell well!"

Liu Shan glanced at Liu Yu and put down the shovelful of soil angrily, feeling out of breath.

Xinlin County is the county seat directly under their jurisdiction. I heard it is very prosperous, with rich people wearing silk and satin everywhere.

Liu Yu has never been there once in his whole life, and he was very ready to make a move after hearing this.

"Third brother, take me with you! Whenever you go, I will go with you. We will have a companion on the way!"

Liu Shan looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "It's not impossible, it's just that I'm going with Brother Dongsheng. Suddenly there is an extra person coming out, so I have to discuss it with Brother Dongsheng!"

"Brother Dongsheng? Li Dongsheng lives in Liweizi!"

Liu Yu's head is full of questions. When did this person become so familiar with Li Dongsheng and still talk about Dongsheng's brother!

"Yes, it's Li Dongsheng who lives in Liweizi. I've often met him in the bamboo forest these days. He heard me say that winter bamboo shoots are not easy to sell, so he gave me some advice."

"Brother Dongsheng's bamboo rats will be sold to restaurants in the town if they can't make it in time. If they can't make it in time, they will save more and sell them to the county town."
