The poor man grows watermelon

The first snow in the second year of Renxuan fell on the fifteenth day of the winter moon.

Although it was a bit late, it still made people breathe a sigh of relief - if there is no snow for the whole winter, the crops will suffer.

Adults and children sat around the table, enjoying the hot stew while admiring the snow particles all over the sky.

Dong Gua took a bite of the tender white tofu, and asked with a smile: "Brother Feng, when you and your sister-in-law are moving, tell me, I'll ask my brothers to come over and carry things together."

Yu Feng grinned, and threw him a piece of fat and thin pork belly, "You have a conscience, come on, eat more meat, don't keep eating cabbage and tofu."

"Cabbage tofu is delicious!" Dong Gua emphasized solemnly.

Yu Feng winked and joked, "That's right, I don't want to see who did it."

Winter Melon and Su Ya'er both pricked their heads, their ears were red.

Su Ye glanced at Yu Feng, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the wax gourd. The big pieces of furniture have already been moved there, and there are not many clothes and bedding left. You and I, Brother Feng, will be finished with one box each. Just remember to come and have a drink at that time, there are so many people.”

"Hey!" Winter Melon nodded with a sullen head.

Xiaoxia's sister-in-law smiled, and asked warmly: "Has the date been set? It snowed today, and it's going to be cold. Move there early so you don't have to suffer from the cold."

Su Ye nodded, "Brother Feng's appointment is scheduled for the [-]th, and my sister-in-law will also come over then."

"That's natural." Xiaoxia's sister-in-law looked at Su Qingzhu, "Zhuzi has long been looking forward to living in a new home."

Su Qingzhu paused for a while, and retorted in a rough voice: "No! Who wants to live with the housekeeper!"

Su Ya'er squeezed the bamboo chopsticks and said softly, "I want to live with Xiaoye."

Su Qingzhu choked, and glared at him angrily, "Traitor!"

Everyone laughed in unison.

Yu Feng found a piece of hot red tofu from the bottom of the basin, put it in Su Ye's bowl, and said with a smile, "Don't you like to eat it very much on weekdays? I didn't see you pick it up today, are you afraid it's not enough?"

Su Ya'er hurriedly said: "Don't worry about Xiaoye, there are too many in the pot!"

Su Ye frowned, and moved the piece of fragrant red tofu out without any trace, and said in a low voice, "It's weird."

Yu Feng paused, and his smile faded unconsciously.

He looked at Su Ye's sleepy appearance, and thought to himself, after the move, he should coax him to ask Mr. Zhang to take a look.

-

Although the official dinner date was set on the [-]th, Su Ye and the others had to go there one day in advance to clean the house, burn the fire wall, move the rest of the things there, and live there at night.

Yu Feng carried the box, Su Ye hugged Xuewa, Su Qingzhu and Su Ya'er each carried a big burden, and the family of five moved the house in a very low-key way.

Su Qingzhu threw the burden in the main room, and went around the rooms like a gust of wind.

The design of the house is symmetrical about the axis. There are three bedrooms at the east and west ends. The layout of the rooms is the same. There is a simple wooden bed against the wall, and the bed frame is surrounded by a green gauze tent, which keeps warm in autumn and winter and prevents insects in spring and summer.

There is a combined wardrobe next to the foot of the bed. The double doors are engraved with simple patterns, which are both beautiful and atmospheric.

There is a large low couch by the window, with bamboo mats and soft cushions on the couch, and a three-foot-square desk, where you can practice calligraphy on your stomach, or sit across from each other to drink tea, adding a bit of elegance .

In the center of the room is an Eight Immortals table, on which there is a set of simple tea sets, with four round and fat carved wooden stools underneath.

The dressing table is what Yu Feng insisted on adding, and next to it is a basin rack that can be used for cloth towels and soap locusts.

Su Qingzhu ran back to the main room in a hurry, and asked carelessly: "Where do Ya'er and I live?"

Su Ye took a breath and said, "In the three rooms on the east side, you and Ya'er each share one room, and the remaining room is reserved for Xue Wa when he grows up."

Su Ya'er was slightly taken aback, "I live in a room by myself?"

Su Ye smiled and nodded.This was something he and Yu Feng had discussed in the morning, but they forgot to tell them.

"This, this..." Su Ya'er was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Su Qingzhu curled her lips and snorted, "It's just a room, why are you so happy? Go, put your things away!"

As Su Qingzhu said, she picked up her bag and headed to the east room with Su Ya'er's collar—even though she didn't care about her mouth, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

Su Ye shook her head and smiled, with a deep warmth in her eyes.

Xue Wa put her arms around Su Ye's neck, and asked softly, "Daddy, is the baby going too?"

Su Ye shook her head, "Not now, the baby can only live alone when he grows up."

The little guy blinked, "Pinch now?"

Su Ye kissed the little guy's bulging forehead, and said with a smile, "Of course I live with Daddy."

When the little guy heard this, he immediately grinned and laughed happily.

Yu Feng was not so happy - he moved to a new house, so why can't he hold his daughter-in-law Jiang Jiang Niang Niang boldly?

-

The next day is the day to open the door for guests.

Su Ye specially asked Yu Feng to go to the bamboo forest to pick up some dead bamboo branches and fallen leaves, which were crackling and burning, for good luck.

I don't know how the words got out. Near noon, the villagers from all over the world came one after another.

Everyone carried chickens, ducks, fish, rice noodles, grains and oils in their hands, and they didn't regard themselves as guests.

The men chopped firewood, carried water, and moved tables and chairs, and the women rushed into the kitchen, boiling water, blanching chicken feathers, soaking dried cabbage, and chopping meat, with a familiar look as if they were at home.

For a while, Su Ye's house was full of people standing inside and outside, all the way to the dirt road outside the fence, everyone was talking and laughing, it was even more lively than the county fair.

Su Qingzhu picked up Min Zheng in a carriage, and was stunned as soon as he approached, "What happened? Why are there so many people?"

Aunt Su Hua stood at the door of the kitchen, and she saw him standing there stupidly at a glance, and shouted with her arms akimbo: "Why are you standing there stupidly? I'm going to go crazy without seeing your brother, go and help!"

"Oh!" Su Qingzhu hurriedly helped Min Zheng out of the carriage, and said embarrassedly, "My lord, look, do you want to follow me into the house, or find a quiet place to rest?"

Min Zheng looked at the wheat field covered with thin snow not far away, and said with a smile: "Go and do your work, I'll go around the field."

Su Qingzhu chuckled, "Then don't go too far, I'll call you when you're having dinner."

Min Zheng smiled deeper, "Okay."

Su Qingzhu took a deep breath, turned around and squeezed into the crowd.

Before he found Su Ye, he heard an exclamation from the crowd, and then Yu Feng shouted in a different tone, "Xiao Yezi, what's wrong with you?!"

Su Qingzhu's heart trembled, and he pushed aside the crowd like crazy, "Brother! What's wrong with my brother?"

"Grandpa Heaven! The little fairy boy has passed out!" A shrill woman's voice pierced into people's ears clearly.

Su Qingzhu was taken aback for a moment, then rushed in regardless, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this moment, he didn't know how terrifying his eyes were.

The villagers unanimously gave up a passage.

At the end of the passage, Su Ye was lying on his back in Yu Feng's arms, his face as white as paper.

Yu Feng's face became even uglier. He pinched Su Ye's people and called his name, "Little Yezi! Little Yezi!"

Su Qingzhu rushed over like a gust of wind, plopped and knelt down in front of Su Ye, "What's wrong with my brother? What's wrong with him?"

"Xiaoye is just too tired and fainted. He will wake up, definitely will..." Yu Feng said in a trembling voice.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, where is Mr. Zhang? Please come and have a look!" Yu Feng searched the crowd in a panic.

"Don't panic, Fengzi! I'll call old doctor Zhang right away!"

Someone yelled, and people reacted one after another, and scattered to call for someone.

At this moment, a fat figure rushed over extremely swiftly and grabbed Su Ye's wrist.

Su Qingzhu saw the person coming, and his eyes widened in surprise, "My, my lord..."

Min Zheng had a rare expression on his face and did not speak.

Feeling Su Ye's pulse quietly, he was taken aback for a moment, then changed hands as if he couldn't believe it.

In the end, Min Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, showing a complicated expression.

Yu Feng and Su Qingzhu watched nervously, not daring to breathe.

In fact, this chain of events happened in a very short time.

At that time, Su Ye originally wanted to tell Yu Feng to buy a pig in the county and cook two pots of meat, so as not to treat the guests badly.However, as soon as he got off the steps, he felt dark in front of his eyes, and his body fell down uncontrollably.

He could hear the noisy voices around him, and he could also hear the shouts of Yu Feng and Su Qingzhu. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't.

It wasn't until a warm and dry hand gently stroked his forehead that Su Ye finally came back to his senses and slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view were Yu Feng's frowning brows, Su Qingzhu's worried face, and Min Zheng's complicated expression.

"Xiao Yezi, are you awake?" Yu Feng approached in surprise.

Su Ye moved her mouth, too weak to speak.

"My lord, what's wrong with my brother? Why did he faint suddenly?" Su Qingzhu asked eagerly.

Min Zheng didn't answer, but cast a cold glance at Yu Feng, and said flatly, "Take Xiaoye into the room first."

Yu Feng was stunned for a moment, even though he was a little puzzled, he obediently picked up Su Ye, and walked into the house cautiously.

The villagers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Su Ye wake up, and followed them step by step.

Min Zheng turned his head back and regained his gentle demeanor, "Xiao Ye is fine, you don't need to surround yourself, let's do our own work, the banquet will continue as usual."

"Oh, oh!" The villagers nodded subconsciously and stood there in a daze.

After entering the room, Su Qingzhu ran to the bed first, and quickly shook off the bedding, "Quick, put my brother here!"

However, Yu Feng held him tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go.

Min Zheng frowned, his expression became even more unkind.

Su Ye slowed down for a while, and his strength gradually returned. He patted the man's arm and said weakly, "Go and pour me a bowl of sugar water, okay?"

Only then did Yu Feng reluctantly put him down and ran out in a hurry.

At this time, Su Ya'er, Aunt Chunjiu and Aunt Su Hua were called from all over the place, and they stumbled to the bedside.

With a distance of more than ten meters, Su Ya'er was already in tears.

Even Aunt Chun Jiu and Aunt Su Hua, who have experienced countless hardships, also have red eye circles.

Su Ye turned her head and gave them a weak smile.

Aunt Su Hua burst into tears with a "wow", and raised her hand to hit Su Ye, "You bastard, you're going to scare people to death!"

He raised his hand high and lowered it gently, without even flapping the corner of Su Ye's clothes.

Su Ye concentrated her attention and persuaded, "Don't cry, ma'am, I'm fine..."

Aunt Su Hua's tears flowed even more fiercely.

Aunt Chunjiu also covered her mouth, her tears fell to the ground like broken beads.

It's not that they have low ability to bear, but that Su Ye is not only a beloved junior in their minds, but also their pillar and their hope.

If something happened to Su Ye, it would be like the sky falling to them.
