Days of farming with bamboo horses

"Okay, you put down the barrel first, don't fall." Zhou Chengyu walked over with a smile, took the barrel in his hand, and lifted the water easily. The little thing seemed to like this well the most. Yes, I usually watch when I fetch water by myself, chirping like a curious baby.

"Understood, I won't fall." Su Zipei said seriously, "I can also draw water from the well, and I can help Chengyu water the vegetable field and the young seedlings outside."

The small seedlings in Su Zipei’s mouth refer to the high-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes that Zhou Chengyu planted at the beginning. They surrounded the yard in a circle. After a month, they all sprouted, and you can see a circle of green things, which is quite pleasing to the eye. .

Zhou Chengyu took a small bench and put it on the side of the patio. Hearing this, he scratched his nose, and said with a helpless smile, "You, other people think that it would be nice not to have to work, and you want to be lazy, so you are in a hurry to do it." Live, you can't lift water."

Su Zipei frowned, as if thinking about it, but was stubborn on this matter: "You are lying, I just raised the water."

Zhou Chengyu rubbed his head vigorously, and was satisfied to see that the man was rubbing round and flat in his hands, and compromised: "That's fine, I'll let you do it, but don't mention that it's so full next time, there are spoons and basins in the kitchen , mention less, you can move as long as you can."

After thinking about it, he added, "If you accidentally drop yourself, you will have to drink medicine every day, remember it yourself."

Su Zipei's little heart trembled, he didn't want to take the medicine, it was really too bitter.

Zhou Chengyu saw through his thoughts at a glance, and laughed immediately: "I won't force you to drink medicine, otherwise you will have to drink medicine if you are sick? Zipei knows."

……

"Father Ali, I can't decide this matter. Chengyu is already so old, and the two brothers have separated again. His marriage is also because the elders in the family are gone, so my husband asked me to help. Which brother Chengyu wants to marry, Where did I intervene?" Li Ying smiled at Zhou Xin, holding Lin Tong in his arms and coaxing him.

"Where can't I get involved? Chengzhi is his big brother, you are his brother-in-law, and Chengyu only has you two relatives. Why don't you keep your eyes open and marry him a good husband? Are you still letting him be impulsive and marrying him?" A brother of unknown origin?" Zhou Xin laughed, "My Ali is different, appearance, family affairs, which one is not outstanding? Tell Chengyu about it."

Li Ying was not originally from this village, so naturally he didn't care about too many things. These close and distant relatives were enough for him to have a headache. Trouble at home.

It's just that he doesn't look for trouble, and things come to him. Ever since Cheng Yu gave the bride price and got married, it's not just Zhou Xin's family who came to him to tell him about his uncle's marriage. He sent him away, but during this time, his husband was busy building houses for others, and the matter of dealing with these people fell on him.

Lin Tong, who was about to cry or not, looked at Zhou Li, and Li Ying felt a little embarrassed: "Ah Li is very good, but Lin Tong's uncle is already engaged. There is nothing to say about it, we can't let it go." Cheng Yu is an irresponsible person, who will dare to marry him after that?"

Zhou Li stood beside him silently, opened her lips and wanted to say something, but Zhou Xin grabbed her sleeve and motioned him not to speak.

Zhou Xin continued: "Everyone thinks that Chengyu married that brother-in-law just as a joke, how could he get him so quickly, if he knew about this early in the morning, wouldn't he have come to find his brother-in-law?"

"I can't help it. Zipei is Chengyu's wife. No matter how early it is, wouldn't that change?" Li Yingwen said, "Ah Li is so good, she will definitely find a good husband, and he is still young. Need to worry about these things so quickly?"

After talking so earnestly for so long, Zhou Ning's face was a bit ugly. He thought that he was Li Ying's elder after all, and he had to show face no matter what, but Li Ying just didn't let go.

Zhou Li's face was hot, why did she come here on the spur of the moment after listening to her father's words?It was impossible to cancel the marriage, and at this moment he couldn't hold back anymore, he tugged at Father's hand: "Father, let's go back, don't embarrass brother-in-law."

Just as Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, when he heard a crackling sound from the door, and then the eldest son's excited voice sounded: "Daddy! Little uncle... so much sugar !"

Lin Yu was wearing small clothes, small, chubby, with a hat on his head, and just ran in, holding a handful of beautifully wrapped candies high in his hand, and couldn't wait to call out Road, followed by a person.

Before Li Ying could open his mouth, a handful of candies were stuffed into his hands. They were colorful and looked good at first glance. Looking at his son, he laughed and scolded, "Don't you still have candy at home? Why do you want so much candy, uncle?"

Zhou Linyu ignored him, put down the candy, ran back, dragged Su Zipei in, the little one was not as tall as Su Zipei's legs, and said in a childish voice, "My uncle gave it to me."

During this period of time, Su Zipei came over to stay for a while when he was free. He still remembered that he was a person who was going to make a wedding dress... It's not easy to pretend to be someone else.

There are a lot of people here, Su Zipei will bring something every time, get along well with Li Ying, and play well with the kid Zhou Linyu, Xiao Douding took a bite of his little uncle, and admitted his relationship with Chengyu in public Same.

Su Zipei led Zhou Linyu, who was running fast, to prevent him from falling. Unexpectedly, there were other people here, so he was a little cautious for a while, so he smiled slightly and called out: "Brother."

"Why is Zipei here alone today?" Li Ying didn't expect Zipei and Zhou Li to meet. He knew that Zipei was reserved and sensitive, and he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable knowing about Zhou Li. , only opened his mouth to explain a few words, "This is Zhou Li and his father."

Su Zipei met Zhou Li once, a good-looking brother.That time I still had low self-esteem, and I was told by Cheng Yu, knowing that I was worrying too much, so this time he didn't mind much when he saw someone, and smiled at him: "Hello, I'm Su Zipei."

"I'm Zhou Li, I met you last time." Zhou Li smiled back at him, which seemed reluctant.

Zhou Xin looked up and down critically, and felt that this brother was not as good as his own Ali in every way. He was too thin to give birth, and he was dull and couldn't chat. He didn't know why Zhou Chengyu would choose such a person.

Su Zipei felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and didn't know what to say, so she just lowered her head and peeled the candy for Lin Yu to eat. The child had candy to eat, and hugged his leg with peace of mind.

"Father Ali, why don't you go back first? I still have something to do at home. There is really nothing I can do about what you said. Ali is still so young, so she is not in a hurry to find her husband's house. Why should I rush?" Li Ying said lightly. , he has no mind to deal with people.

"Li Ying, I'm just here to discuss with you. Who are you showing your appearance like this? You were married in the first place, so you're not the one who made the decision." Follow Zhou Li to leave.

Hearing this, Li Ying frowned slightly, but he didn't take it to heart. There are too many gossips in the village. Seeing that he married well, there are also some bitter ones. He knew that his husband also had many brothers. I won, but I just happened to be married back by my husband, so whether the family can be the master or not is none of the business of outsiders.

Hearing this, Su Zipei looked up, but didn't understand what they were talking about, only saw that father's face was a bit ugly, and that brother named Zhou Li seemed a little uncomfortable?

"Brother? What are they doing here? That man has an ugly face." Su Zipei asked shallowly, "Did they trouble you?"

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Where is anyone going to trouble me, and I don't go out to make trouble, so it's not enough for me to coax two children at home?"

"Oh." Su Zipei was thoughtful.

Li Ying took him to the back room, put Lin Tong on the bed, and let him play there by himself. After thinking about it, he said, "Zi Pei, don't blame me for talking too much. Cheng Yu's conditions are very good in the village. He is good, capable, and has some family background. Many brothers want to enter the door, so don't let him go out and mess around, so as not to get involved."

"Ah?" Su Zipei was puzzled at first, and then his face became clear, "That Zhou Li just now came to talk about marriage? But, but, aren't Chengyu and I already engaged?"

Seeing that he understood, Li Ying said helplessly: "It's because they are engaged, so they are in a hurry. They have to ask me to help and talk about it, just to see if there is any way to go back on their word. One came a few days ago and said it would be done for Cheng Yu." It doesn't matter if it's small."

Su Zipei couldn't believe it: "Also, can I marry two?!" Chengyu is only his, and he will never give it to others!

"Small families like us, who want to support their families, generally don't marry too many. If you have the money, who cares how many you marry? You can afford it, and you haven't violated the law." Li Ying reminded him, "Chengyu and his brother Same, not such a playful person who said that as long as you are alone, he will definitely keep his word. So those brothers, you can drive as many as you come, and don't let all your own men go out. "

Su Zipei nodded hastily: "I see."

Li Ying saw that he understood, so he didn't say any more. He just felt that Zipei's temperament was more gentle, polite, with red lips and white teeth, and delicate skin and tender flesh. He looked like he came from a rich family. What do you do, but no matter what you do, it is probably not as good as someone who can stalk.

"Didn't I teach you how to sew stitches last time? Since you are free today, learn how to sew buttons. Learn slowly. There are still two more months left, and you will eventually learn." Li Ying took out the needle and thread and taught him carefully.

Su Zipei was thinking about what happened just now, and couldn't calm down at all, even after reading it for a long time.

I don't know if that Zhou Li will run to the house. Is this a forced marriage?

But I can't figure it out, why do they insist on marrying someone they don't like?

Obviously Chengyu never provoked them.
