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

In the next few days, Changsheng and Nian worked together to make Xiaoxue's new clothes.

The cotton is also wrapped carefully in red cotton cloth, and is just waiting to be given as a warm wine gift when the bottom of the pot is burning in the greenhouse!

After burning the bottom of the pot in the bustling hothouse, the snow began to set on the Laba Festival. It fell non-stop for three days. It took several more days for the snow to melt. By the time the ground was dry, it was time to sacrifice the stove!

On the morning of the day of the stove sacrifice, Butcher Li came to the house to pull pigs. The two pigs were fat and strong. The pigs were nine cents a pound this year. The two pigs together weighed more than 270 kilograms and were sold for nearly two taels and five cents!

Liu Yu took one tael and gave the rest to the Nian family as pension money for the two elders!

That morning, Tietou came home and asked if he was going to the county town tomorrow to catch a batch of bamboo rats before the new year!

Liu Yu and Chang Sheng held up two lights and went to the woodshed to take a closer look. The bamboo rats in July and August can still grow longer!

Picking up the male rats and the grown rats, I caught twenty of them and put them into another large, newly made and unused bamboo cage, waiting to be loaded into the car tomorrow!

"Are you going alone? How many bamboo rats can your family sell?"

"There are twenty-three, and my second uncle will accompany them!"

When Tietou said that Li Dongsheng would accompany him, Liu Yu felt relieved. It would not be fun if he met a bad person on a winter night!

Changsheng's frail figure stood in the light. Liu Yu frowned at the sight, especially feeling uneasy. Finally, she called Liu Fan, and she felt more at ease!

On the second day, the family was very busy. Liu Fusheng was so happy that he bought back thirty kilograms of meat and a few fish!

The fish can be kept in the basin for a few days, but the meat has to be fried and boiled!

Liu Yu only sat in front of the chopping board to help cut the meat, and then sat in front of the stove to help light the fire. Fortunately, Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua came to help, so they didn't tire him!

In the evening, Chang Sheng and Liu Fan braved the cold wind to return home, and a hot meal of fried pork rice was ready!

After dinner, Changsheng handed over the money from selling bamboo rats to Liu Yu, which was enough two taels of silver!

Liu Yu was very happy after receiving a small silver ingot. These twenty bamboo rats can be sold for more money than a pig!

Thinking about the hard work and tediousness of handling bamboo rats, this is what they deserve!

There were at least forty bamboo rats in the cage, excluding the bamboo rats still in their arms. At this moment, Liu Yu hoped in her heart that God would bless her, and that the rich men in the county would like her eloquence for a long time!

Just before New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily again. For fear of freezing the cattle at home, Liu Fusheng took the chickens to the east room, put the chickens in cages, and raised them in the woodshed together with the bamboo rats!

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and there was no sound. Liu Yu stood at the half-open door of the room, just waiting for Changsheng to pack up the trivial things and return to the room quickly!

"Quick, the snow is so heavy, but it took so long to cover it all!"

Liu Yu picked up a dry cloth and waved away the fallen snow from the clothes on Changsheng's shoulders!

The two of them entered the house, closed the doors and windows tightly, and the oil lamp on the kang cabinet gave off a dim light. They walked hand in hand to the warm kang!

The quilts where mandarin ducks are playing in the water are folded aside, the kang table is placed across the kang with a bed, and a pot of red charcoal is glowing red!

There is a sweet smell in the air!

Changsheng helped Liu Yu onto the kang and took a look at her belly, which could not even be covered by a large cotton-padded jacket. His eyes were gentle!

"You sit down first, and I'll bake you some peanut buns to eat later!"

As he said that, he took two stacks of things from the old table and placed them next to the charcoal pot. He first used a fire stick to carefully remove the roasted sweet potatoes that were charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and then put them on the wire rack!

Finally, I put a few peanuts and two steamed bun slices. Finally, I took out a spoon from nowhere, uncovered a corner of the sweet potato, scooped out a spoonful of roasted sweet potato flesh, and fed it into Liu Yu's mouth!

"So sweet!"

Liu Yu ate one spoonful, and when Changsheng fed him the second spoonful, he shook his head and refused. He took the spoon filled with sweet potato pulp, but put it to Changsheng's lips, asking him to eat it together!

Changsheng had no choice but to obey with a smile. He only felt that the sweet potatoes were roasted very well today. They were the sweetest sweet potatoes he had ever tasted!

After eating the sweet potatoes sweetly, Changsheng handed the long chopsticks to Liu Yu and said, "Turn them over first, be careful not to burn them!"

After saying that, he took the sewing basket from the kang cabinet, threaded the needle and thread under the light, and started to embroider!

When Liu Yu saw him embroidering a tiger head, she felt sweet and warm in her heart and said funnyly!

"Did you embroider it too early?"

"It's not early. He knows that we like him, so he can be happier every day!"

Chang Sheng skillfully embroidered tiger ears, raised his head and smiled gently at Liu Yu!

"ah!……"

Liu Yu exclaimed, with surprise in her eyes!

"What's wrong!"

Changsheng hurriedly put down the sewing upper in his hand, helped Liu Yu to his side, and touched the place where his hand was placed!

Just at this moment, a very light beat/movement came from the palm/heart

Changsheng also said "Ah" in surprise, and then realized what was going on. He looked at Liu Yu with bright eyes and said, "It's the child that's moving."

Xu Yinghe Changsheng's words made Liu Yu feel like he was kicked lightly again!

Chang Sheng lowered his eyes with a smile. After a long time, he removed his hand and looked at Liu Yu with a smile, his eyes filled with pride and joy!

The bright lights shone on Changsheng's face, his eyebrows and eyes were full of kindness, making Liu Yu's teeth ache!

"Ayu, thank you!"

Changsheng's eyes suddenly turned red, he hugged Liu Yu and whispered softly in his ear!

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and after realizing the meaning of immortality, she felt a little sour in her heart!

"Thank you very much. We are a family. Today's life is exactly what I want. If I want to thank you for this, we have to thank you until dawn!"

Liu Yu concealed the surging emotions in her heart and pretended to be relaxed!

"Hmm!...What does it smell like!"

Liu Yu sniffed and turned to look at the charcoal basin aside. The steamed bun slices that were supposed to be slightly yellow had been burnt black!

The two of them couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly picked up the steamed bun slices. They were too burnt but inedible!

"Let's have an embroidery competition to see who can embroider a tiger head better!"

Seeing the look of pity on Chang Sheng's face, Liu Yu hurriedly picked up the other tiger-head shoe upper in the sewing basket and said with a smile!

"It hurts your eyes too much!"

Changsheng is a little reluctant!

"If it hurts your eyes, it won't matter if you do it once in a while!"

As he said this, he started wiring the tiger head embroidered by Chang Sheng. Chang Sheng had no choice but to move the oil lamp closer and cut the wick again!

"…………"

It's snowing outside the window and the wind is howling, but the house is warm and cozy!

The sound was drowned in the place reflected by the lights, and when the snow fell and the wind blew, it could no longer be heard clearly!
