The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Until half a month before the Spring Festival, Shen Ling had been writing and selling Spring Festival couplets until mid-December. The carpenter who had agreed before also finished the tables, chairs, benches, and beds and brought them in a bullock cart and placed them in Shen Ling’s house. In the earthen house, Shen Ling also hired the master who built the house, erected the courtyard wall, and built the gate, the wall and gate of green bricks and large tiles, but the earthen house that was about to collapse was surrounded inside, no matter how you look at it weird.

However, Shen Ling asked the mason to repaint the house and fill in the soil. At least from the inside of the house, the house was still habitable.

The Shen family once visited when Shen Ling went out to sell Spring Festival couplets. When they saw Shen Ling's house building the courtyard wall, they came over and asked the master mason a few words. After knowing that Shen Ling was not at home, they left. They just asked the mason to send a message to Shen Ling. Ling, let him go back to Shen's house, but Shen Ling has been busy all the time, and he doesn't want to go at all, so he has been procrastinating until now.

Shen Ling suffered for nearly a month, and the overloaded work finally dragged his body down, so he could only recuperate honestly at home. Shen Ling drank spring water while Han Shi was not in the house. , and then reclined on the bed to rest again, the spring water can cure diseases, but not exhaustion and exhaustion, but he has achieved a lot in this period of time!Excluding the expenses spent, I still have a net of 24 taels of silver in my hand at this moment, which is not a small sum in the farm family.

Shen Ling started to think about the chili oil again. He has already figured it out. In this world, chili is not valuable, but oil is. Few people think about mixing oil and chili powder to make something. wasted.

Shen Ling decided to lie down at home for another two or three days before getting up and tinkering with chili oil. As for why he didn't make Spring Festival couplets?Shen Ling felt that when she thought of the word Spring Festival couplets again at this moment, her right hand was trembling with fear, and she was able to hold on until now, partly because of Han Shi's punctual and responsible massage every day, and partly because of being forced by the poor environment. He was able to grit his teeth and hold on until now, and he already admired himself very much.

"Shen Er, are you home?" There was a knock on the door, and Shen Ling was lying on the soft bed, resting and thinking about the future, when he was called back to his senses by the voice at the door.

"Who?" Han Shi was busy in the kitchen, and came out after hearing the sound. He almost treated Shen Ling as a seriously ill patient these days. Resting on the bed, Han Shi wished he could help him to go to the toilet, not wanting him to get out of bed by himself.

Shen Ling didn't make a sound, it was rare that Han Shi took the initiative to talk to someone, and he didn't interrupt without saying a word!

When the sound of the door being opened came, Shen Ling could almost imagine Han Shi looking nervously at the person coming at the door, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly twitch.

After a while, the person at the door seemed to be led into the room by Han Shi, and Shen Ling sat up. In fact, he was fine. With Lingquan in his hand, basically he would not have any illnesses, even if he was weak Nothing to do, just sleep for a day and a night, eat some delicious supplements, and it's basically the same.

It's just that Shen Ling has indeed slept a little too much these days, and the whole person looks a little embarrassed. He looks like he hasn't woken up yet, and his face is also a little pale. After lying on the bed for a long time, his face is also a little swollen, and the dark circles under his eyes are still serious. The body that was thinned due to illness has not recovered much, and it still looks like the sick one who can't get out of bed.

At least in the eyes of those who came, Shen Ling was still the same Shen Er who was lying in bed sick and dying.

Li was standing by Shen Ling's bed with a cold face. Seeing this, Shen Ling lay back silently, looking so weak that he would collapse at any time even if he sat up. Look, he didn't sit up just now. stable.With a hoarse voice, Shen Ling said weakly: "Excuse me, are you..."

"I'm Lizheng from the village." Lizheng coughed lightly. He knew that Shen Ling's illness was unclear, and he couldn't remember many people and things. It's not surprising that he forgot him.

Lizheng thought for a while, then pointed to the elders around him, "These are the elders of our village, this is your family, your third grandpa, your grandpa's brother, these are all from the same village Uncles and elders."

Shen Ling nodded, eyes full of apology, "I'm sick, I really can't get out of bed to salute you, please don't blame me, Han Shi, hurry up and pour tea for the elders."

Han Shi lowered his head when he heard the words and quickly agreed, holding the hem of his clothes, and ran into the kitchen. The hot tea in the farmhouse must be freshly brewed, or else it is cold and boiled. There is no such thing as a heat-resisting teapot. How can you use cold water to serve tea?It can only be a fever, and Shen Ling can be regarded as dismissing Han Shi, fearing that the child will be uncomfortable.

"The elders came to see me today. I don't know what's the matter? Although I am sick, I am still from the village. If there is anything that needs my help, I am obliged." Shen Ling looked very sincere.

Li Zheng coughed unnaturally, but when he thought of something, his eyes turned cold again, and he said with a cold face: "Shen Er, how can you sell Spring Festival couplets outside in the name of your brother? Do you know that your brother The county exam is about to come, and this is a major event related to whether our village can produce a scholar, and it is the official business of our Shen family to honor their ancestors, what should you do if you smear him like this and delay his county exam?"

Shen Ling was baffled by what he heard. Why did he sell Spring Festival couplets outside under the name of Shen Laosan? Except for the owner of the grocery store, he did not say that he wrote the Spring Festival couplets. When people asked him, he told others that he wrote the Spring Festival couplets himself, so why did he get involved with Shen Laosan again?

It’s not that he brags. He has written brush calligraphy for about 20 years in his previous life. Even if Shen Laosan is enlightened, his family probably doesn’t have the money to practice calligraphy with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the very beginning. He is young and his wrist strength is not enough. It's too late, the calligraphy he writes is not as good as his calligraphy at all, he also read Shen San's cursive book, if the aesthetics of brush calligraphy in this world is not much different from the world he lives in, then his The characters and Shen San's characters can basically be seen at a glance whether they are good or bad, and it can also be seen that they are not from the same system.

Shen San's handwriting is more than delicate, but lacking in strength, more like a boudoir girl.And he also favored elegant fonts at the beginning, but personality experience can affect a person's fonts. After experiencing the end of the world, his fonts also changed unconsciously, tending to be bold and unrestrained. The texture of the back of the paper is so different, this group of illiterates...

Shen Ling complained from the bottom of her heart, but her expression was panicked, and she quickly explained: "I really wrote the Spring Festival couplets myself, and I didn't sell Spring Festival couplets outside in the name of my third brother. I told everyone that , Who spread this word indiscriminately, this is false."

"The relatives of your sister-in-law's family told her the people in the village, and the people in our village saw it with their own eyes. You still argue. Besides, how can you write? You haven't even read a book." Lizheng was also a little annoyed. No matter the person in front of him is a sick person, he shouted angrily.

"Shen Er, why are you tarnishing your younger brother's reputation like this? Tell me, who did you ask to write the Spring Festival couplets for you, and you want to sell them in your younger brother's name?" The third grandfather's eyes were full of coldness, he reached out and patted the table next to him, and shouted angrily.

Shen Ling was a little annoyed at the bottom of his heart. The furniture he made with great difficulty, and the table in the bedroom, turned out to be a tool for others to slap the table and get angry at him. He was so arrogant when he came to other people's house.

But Shen Ling made a frightened expression, with a look of grief and indignation, "Did the third brother say that too? He also thinks that I can't write? Can't read?"

Several old men looked at each other and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this remark, but they couldn't react for a while.

"You don't know how to read and write, so what do you care about your third brother?" Li Zheng also vaguely felt that this was wrong, and his tone softened a bit, finding a suitable and conservative way of saying it.

"Of course I can read and write!" Shen Ling said angrily: "There are two scholars in the family, there are books in the room anyway, and I usually secretly watch the third brother read and write, and I have heard and seen it. After a long time, I am willing to work hard again. Of course, I have learned everything that the third brother reviewed and learned! Without a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I found a flat piece of land to paddle and write. I heard that only people with strong wrists can write. I have also practiced wrist strength for a while. I scramble to do all the tiring work, just to practice my wrist strength, so that I can write as well as my third brother. Why can’t I read and write? My father is biased, my mother is partial, and the third and fourth brothers will be sent to study regardless of whether they are successful or not. I'm the only one working! Why can't I hold my breath and read and write by myself?!

Dad separated me out, and I only paid a penny when I was dying of illness. I can't even afford food, let alone see a doctor. Can't you have a meal?I went to ask my father about my medical treatment, and even wrote a summary letter to me just for money!Cut off the father-son relationship with me!He didn't even want his son just for a little money, and he only gave me ten taels of silver in total. How much is the tuition fee for the third brother for a year?The cost is always much higher than mine!Just because the third brother is promising, so father only treats him well?Does a useless person like me feel like a burden even if I have a penny? ! "

Shen Ling shouted angrily, and there seemed to be a burst of anger in his heart. Shen Ling originally wanted to put on a show and make a sad and angry expression, but he didn't want to be unable to control his emotions, and tears flowed down. Shen Ling was sad and angry Weeping, while secretly vigilant in his heart, although he occupied this body, he didn't want to be affected by the remaining emotions of the original owner, and he had to find a way to completely remove the original owner's obsession.
