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

"Take it easy and don't discount the bamboo pole."

When Liu Shan saw Liu Yu cracking walnuts with an expressionless expression, he was afraid that he would break the bamboo pole with just a little force.

The green fruits that have fallen to the ground under the tree, some are intact, and some have cracked green fruit shells, revealing the brown core inside.

Liu Yu saw that the tree was almost beaten, so she threw away the bamboo pole and jumped down from the trunk in a few seconds.

"These fungi grow so fast. Yesterday they looked fresh and tender, but today they are open."

When several people heard this, they all looked at the branches of the walnut tree. Sure enough, the green-headed fungus mushrooms that were plump yesterday had fully grown, and some were even a little yellow.

"It's a pity that my pheasant stewed with mushrooms has no pheasant and no mushrooms."

Liu Shan's expression was exaggerated and he looked downcast.

"Stop showing off and hurry up and pick up walnuts. There are a lot of them." Liu Fan glared at his embarrassed brother and threw a backpack at his feet.

Liu Yu took the bamboo pole and walked towards the next walnut tree full of walnuts.

"How about we pick some chestnuts? It's just not easy to get them." Liu Yan looked at a few chestnut trees not far away with greedy eyes, wanting to pick some and take them home.

Tianyu at home loves chestnuts very much. In previous years, when she picked up chestnuts, she would always make snacks to share with her family.

"Next time, it's hard to get rid of the spikes on it. We still have to carry walnuts. The people who can't get pricked by this stuff on their shoulders will scream." Liu Shan patted his cousin's shoulder and raised his eyebrows, very grateful. Beater comforted.

"Either you ask Brother Yu to help you peel off the thorn balls, and I will help you get them down the mountain."

"Forget it, I'll pick it up next time when I have time." Liu Yan thought for a while and shook his head to refuse. No matter how strong Brother Yu is, he can't just peel off the chestnut balls. It's impossible to say that the stronger he gets, the harder he will get.

"Second brother, I will help you pick chestnuts. How about you ask my sister-in-law to take the time to teach me how to make chestnut shortcakes."

We don’t have much snacks at home, so I learned how to make chestnut shortcakes. From now on, I can make them whenever I want. Grandpa, grandma, and Changsheng can also have multiple snacks.

Moreover, chestnuts are picked up, and all that is consumed is oil, sugar, and flour. These are all available at home, so it does not take much effort to prepare.

"This chestnut shortbread is not difficult to make. If you want to learn, I can teach you." Liu Yan felt proud when he saw that his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship was favored by his cousin.

"I'll pick it up later and put it in a basket. Third brother, I'll ask you to help carry it down the mountain." Liu Yu imitated Liu Shan's behavior just now, raised his eyebrows in a strange way, and smiled proudly at Liu Shan.

"You deserve it!" Seeing Liu Shan's stunned expression, Liu Maoye and Liu Fan laughed and cursed.

Liu Yu also finished beating the walnuts in this tree quickly. At this moment, Liu Maoye and others were all picking up walnuts, so they had nothing to do for the time being.

Liu Yu put on her backpack and took the bamboo pole and went to where the chestnut tree was. She found a safe place, stretched out the bamboo pole, and knocked the stick down a few times, and the chestnut balls fell down.

Seeing that the chestnut balls on the ground weighed about five or six kilograms after peeling them off, Liu Yu stopped and didn't hit them any more.

Using sticks to put all the chestnut balls into the basket, Liu Yu returned to where the army was, found a flat stone, sat down and started picking chestnuts.

"Brother Yu, if the thorns on the outside pierce into the flesh, it will hurt for several days. Stop doing it. I will do it myself later!"

Liu Yan saw Liu Yu knocking the chestnut balls to the ground and was gearing up to do something. She was afraid that her cousin would really peel the chestnuts with her bare hands, so she hurriedly stopped her.

"What are you talking about? Second brother, I'm not stupid. How could I pierce the thorn into my flesh?" He took his air-washed hand into his arms, shook it again, and smiled at several people: "I There is this.”

"What is this!" Several people thought Liu Yu had a unique secret skill, so they all stretched their necks and looked over.

"Gloves? You'd better be careful, don't pierce your hands with the gloves." Liu Shan wanted to pour cold water on Liu Yu when he saw Liu Yu's proud look.

"Humph, there are so many layers! You think they are the gloves made by the third aunt!" Liu Yu was a little unhappy.

Liu Maoye, on the other hand, felt the same when his nephew said that his mother-in-law was fooling around with her needlework. Then she couldn't help but laugh twice when she thought about the child's mother's expression when she knew that Brother Yu said that she was fooled into making gloves.

On the other hand, Liu Fan, who was on the side, saw that Liu Yu treasured a pair of rag gloves. He touched his chin with his fingers and looked at Liu Yu thoughtfully.

"Brother Yu, who made these gloves? They don't look like grandma's craftsmanship." Liu Fan started to talk nonsense with his eyes closed. In recent years, besides making clothes for newborns, the old lady like them No one else in the family had ever received any needlework from the old lady.

"Go away, don't try to trick me. This is indeed not done by grandma. As for who it is, you can guess it yourself." Liu Yu had some happy little secrets in her heart. She was looking forward to Liu Fan guessing, but also shyly afraid that Liu Fan would guess. What more to ask.

"It must have been made by Changsheng!" Liu Yan said cheerfully.

"Second brother, how did you know?"

"My mother has been going through the cotton at home these days. She is worried about whether to make winter clothes for you two or add a bedding. I have heard her talking about this in the past two days." Liu Yan was still smiling happily.

"This, this..." Why did the topic suddenly come to this? Whether it is cotton-padded clothes or bedding, this is considered a heavy gift in the farmer's family. All the family's human relations are handled by grandma, Liu Yu doesn't know how to respond.

"Just make the bed, let your mother make the bed cover, and your third aunt will make the bed later, and we will live together." After all, Liu Maoye was experienced in the world of people, and as soon as Liu Yan's words came out, he knew what his sister-in-law was worried about.

I was afraid that my family had other plans for the gift money, which was lighter than what I had prepared. My eldest brother and sister-in-law would be disgraced, and would be gossiped about in the village, which would be worse than my own. I was also afraid that it would make me neglect my nephew who had lost both his father and mother, and he would talk nonsense. Opinion.

"Sure, I'll tell my mother what happened when I get back, and let my mother and third aunt discuss how big it will be." After Liu Yan finished speaking, he winked at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but smile. A ray of warmth came to her heart, and she smiled at Liu Yan.

"Look, Brother Yu is getting married even after the New Year, but you are still single year after year." After talking about Liu Yu, Liu Maoye saw his second son picking up fewer walnuts than others, and couldn't help but urge the marriage. .

"Does that mean I want to be single? There is no girl I want in our village." Liu Shan muttered without paying attention to Liu Maoye's words.

"Your second sister-in-law is quite good-tempered. She also has a marriageable brother in her natal family, who must be virtuous. How about asking your second sister-in-law to go back to her natal family to find out." Liu Yan thought about the marriageable men he knew in the outer village. girl.

That was all for Liu Shan, but Liu Maoye quickly praised Liu Yan for acting like an older brother and said that if the marriage was agreed, he would pay the matchmaker and Zhao Tianyu.
