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

Liu Yu had heard of Xiawuzui. He only knew the direction and how far it was, but he had no idea at all.

But since the mountain goods business in Xiawuzui was so good, Liu Yu decided to try his luck.

Having made up her mind, Liu Yu asked Wuzui carefully how to get there.

"That place is easy to find. Go east from the official road in our town for fifteen or six miles. There is a fork in the road. Take the right one. After another ten miles or so, you will reach Xiawuzui. " Nian thought her grandson was curious about the unfamiliar market town, so she recounted in detail some of the funny things she encountered in Xiawuzui when she was young.

"When your grandpa and I were young, we refused to admit defeat. Everyone else had parents-in-law to rely on. Your grandpa got up early, so we had to do everything by ourselves. We had several children to raise at home, so your aunt helped. While we were looking after the children, we pushed a cart of bamboo woven goods and sold them, hoping to make some money, but unexpectedly, none of them were sold."

"Some kind-hearted people heard that we came from Shangzhang Town and told us that although there is little bamboo here, wicker grows on every farm. They use the baskets to weave dustpans, baskets and other things, and rarely spend any time on it. money to buy this”

"Let us bring some mountain products next time, maybe we can sell them." Nian said this and gave up.

"Then you and grandpa went there again? What did you bring with you? Is it easy to sell?" Liu Yu was full of curiosity and hurriedly urged.

"Then he must have gone again. We listened to the advice and brought all the dried mushrooms and other things we dried at home. It was also at that time. We had no capital, so we had to go to the mountains to dig some chestnuts, walnuts and so on. There are many autumn bamboo shoots, a cart full of them, your grandpa and I are pushing them to Xiawuzui again."

Life was so hard at that time. There were many boys and girls in the family, and they had to feed and clothe them. They also had to save money to marry them, but they had to go out of their way to earn money.

"It's just good luck. We set out in the middle of the night, pushing a cart of mountain goods to Xiawuzui, and happened to meet the steward of the restaurant. He heard that we lived at the foot of Cuifeng Mountain, and he said that the scenery here is beautiful, the bamboo forest is quiet, and it's a bit literary anyway. If so, we will wrap up all the goods we bring and ask us to just deliver them next time we have mountain goods."

"Your grandpa and I have been busy with this matter for the past two years, and we were afraid that the villagers would find out and compete for the business, so we had to leave at midnight every day, just like thieves. After we accumulated some wealth, we never went there."

Nian beat his legs. When he was young, he worked hard and hard, and he didn't know how to take care of his legs. When he was old, all kinds of problems appeared.

Liu Yu looked at Grandma's legs and her eyes darkened. She had to push a cart full of mountain goods for such a long distance, and she knew how much it would hurt her legs.

Liu Yu soaked the dishes and chopsticks in the basin, went back to the house and changed into dry clothes. Before going out, Nian brought a basin of hot water over and let him soak his feet.

Liu Yu took the basin and obediently sat by the bed to pick peppers. The hot water reached her ankles and Liu Yu closed her eyes comfortably.

After soaking her feet, Liu Yu took the water to the vegetable patch in the backyard and poured it out.

Liu Yu walked back with the basin and strolled into Changsheng's room.

"Would you like to relieve yourself?" He had been gone for half a day, and he didn't know if this person had been held back.

Changsheng looked at the man who entered the room speechlessly. Why did this man always ask if he wanted to relieve himself as soon as he saw him?

"Need not."

"What are you doing?" Liu Yu sat on the edge of the Kang and leaned over.

"I'm picking out the beans for next year." Changsheng spread his hands so that Liu Yu could see them more clearly.

Liu Yu touched her nose and said, "Why do you need so much effort? When planting, the pot fell down as soon as it was rolled."

"What do you want to say?" Chang Sheng put down the beans he picked and looked at Liu Yu seriously.

The brother in front of him has handsome eyebrows and handsome features. He is more handsome than ordinary men. The red lotus mark between his eyebrows is stunning and has a soul-stirring handsomeness.

Chang Sheng's face suddenly turned crimson, and he lowered his head and continued to pick the beans.

Looking at his rough and scarred fingers, I felt a sense of inferiority for no reason.

"sorry."

"What did you say?" Liu Yu was confused for a moment when he heard these three words coming out of the man in front of him.

"Do something nice and say sorry to me."

"I, I've spent a lot of money these days. My family takes good care of me every day, but I can't do anything to help. I'm sorry..."

The guilt in Changsheng's heart was about to overflow. He raised his head and looked at Liu Yu, his eyes watery, and he tried his best to smile: "When my legs get better, I will work hard to earn money for my family."

After breakfast, he asked his grandma to find something for her to do. The whole family was busy, but he was so idle that he felt really sorry. Even the sweet jujube brown sugar water seemed to be bitter.

While picking beans, he heard Liu Yu asking Nian about making money, and he felt even more panicked. Liu Yu saved his life, and the Liu family pulled him out of the fire pit. He couldn't just enjoy all this with peace of mind. .

When Liu Yu saw the man in front of him, his face was full of guilt and uneasiness, and there seemed to be some distress for him in his eyes? Liu Yu was slightly startled, and her heart softened.

It seemed that he had heard her talk to Grandma just now. Being in Changsheng's position, Liu Yu put herself in Changsheng's shoes and somewhat understood Changsheng's uneasiness and guilt.

"Then you know how to make money." Liu Yu chuckled, trying to downplay the matter. If Changsheng really did something to live at home with peace of mind, then his wish would be granted.

Being open-minded is more conducive to recovery.

"I can engrave some money." Changsheng replied.

He had just thought carefully about what kind of work he could do without using his legs and earn money at the same time.

After much deliberation, he just wanted to carve the money for the family, a carving knife, a support platform for strength, a kang table and chairs. With these two, he could carve the money for the family.

Liu Yu was a little surprised when she heard this: "You can also engrave money for the family, that's really impressive. I can't do such a delicate job. I also did it at my uncle's house when I was young, and I can always carve good money for the family." .”

Menqianzi are decorations used under the door banner during the Chinese New Year. They are mostly hollowed out auspicious flowers and plants words carved on five-color paper, with good words such as attracting wealth, family peace, good luck, etc., which are used as good intentions.

This thing is the same as Spring Festival couplets. Every household has to buy them during the Chinese New Year. They also have to choose bright, delicate and complicated paper patterns.

"It's not difficult. Carving money requires carefulness and skill. In the past, when I was at home...in that home, I would start carving in November every year, and I could carve out a lot by the twelfth lunar month."

Changsheng became more and more excited as he talked, his eyes shining brightly, and he changed from the initial sluggishness to vitality: "Now September, there is still a whole October, a whole November, these two months will definitely be able to carve out many."

"Okay, after I finish the work in the field, I will go to Wuzui in a few days to see if there is anyone selling more exquisite models. We will carve better-looking patterns than others."

"Yeah, yeah." Changsheng nodded repeatedly. He understood this principle. The same price is better than others, so business can be better.

"Chang Sheng, we are a family. If you and I are too different, I will be sad." Liu Yu pretended to be sad.

"No, no, I just don't want you to work too hard." Changsheng hurriedly explained to Liu Yu, and in a hurry, he grabbed Liu Yu's hand that deliberately covered his eyes.
