Days of farming with bamboo horses

Chapter 30. Picking Corn

The mountains are verdant and the water is gurgling. Not far away are rows of neat brick houses with smoke curling up from the kitchen.Time passed quickly, two months had passed in a blink of an eye, and it was not too far before Zhou Chengyu and his wedding.

Su Zipei is already quite familiar with the roads in the village. When Cheng Yu concentrates on carving, he also knows how to go to the field to see the growth of rice seedlings, and he can pick a few corns and cook them back.

Because of the two mu of land that Zhou Chengyu allocated before, what he wanted was rice and corn. In fact, this was planted by Zhou Chengyu before he came. Buy it in the town, and plant something symbolically in the field.

In the past two months, Zhou Chengyu sent the wood carvings to Boss Shui on time. He did things freely, as long as he and the basic needs of small things were guaranteed, and the amount of money he earned was actually fine. Food and clothing also kept about 20 taels of income, and he didn't need to touch the other money he had set aside. Zhou Chengyu was very satisfied with this.

It’s not nonsense that rare things are more expensive. In addition to delivering goods to the water boss, Zhou Chengyu also made a few large and unique wood carvings, which were brought to other towns for Zhou Chengxuan. They were ordered by wealthy families there. Zhou Chengyu’s wood carvings It has gradually gained a reputation.

In the morning, the dew is not yet shining, and the sun is rising.

Su Zipei was standing alone in the corn field, picking and choosing, there was no other reason, the little thing wanted to eat corn, and the glutinous corn was grown at home, and he liked the glutinous taste, which was a rare combination for him besides chicken wings. It's a matter of taste, Zhou Chengyu naturally won't stop it.

Moreover, the things grown in Zhou Chengyu's family's land are completely self-sufficient, and they don't plan to sell them for money, so there is no pressure, so Zhou Chengyu treats the things in the field as Su Zipei's snacks, as long as he wants to eat, don't worry about him so much Woolen cloth.

Storing food?nonexistent.

There is no shortage of food in the cellar at home. If the two of them don’t eat sweet potatoes and potatoes, they will take them to powder and store them, or put them directly in the cellar. Even feeding chickens will not worry about running out of food.

After all, he was a person who grew up in the city. Su Zipei still stumbled when he walked in the field. If he fell down, he quickly supported the corn stalks, so the cornfield was crooked.

But Su Zipei was still looking for his prey happily. A basket was placed by the side of the field, holding a few corns in his hands. Some fine hairs on his forehead were already wet with sweat and sticking to his forehead, but his eyes were shining brightly. .

"One, two, three, four, five..." Su Zipei looked down at the corn in his arms, put it into the basket, slightly annoyed, "Why did you pick five bags? It's not enough, pick five more bags! "

So Su Zipei turned back to the field again, picking the best-looking ones to pick, and just reached out to a slender and obviously immature corn.

"Hey, Su Zipei, that one isn't ripe yet! It's too tender to eat!" The wood spirit shouted excitedly in the prayer beads.

"Aren't they all the same?" Su Zipei stretched back his sinful little hand, slightly ashamed, "That wood spirit, can you feel the familiarity?"

"The leaf on the right is a little yellow, you can look at the outside, the inside is plump to be considered ripe." Mu Ling said helplessly, he watched Su Zipei pick five leaves, and three of them were too tender Yes, I can't help it anymore, master, why did you let Su Zipei out to harm other people's corn, they also have aura.

"Oh." Su Zipei replied blankly, and stretched out her sinful little hands to other places, not thinking about the beautiful corn for the time being.

"Hey, Su Zipei, don't pick up the corn stalks after you pick them up, step on them." Mu Ling worked diligently as a technical guide. No, he said that he was very tired and wanted to watch the master carve, but his home was worn by Su Zipei. hand.

"Why?" Su Zipei asked suspiciously, because after staying in the field for a long time, there was still some dew on the hem of his clothes, holding several corns, and asking such a question in such a cute tone is really a bit silly.

"Because they won't grow anymore, they are useless. When the corn stalks are dumped on the ground and dried, they can be used to light a fire and let the owner move them home," said the wood spirit.

"Oh." Su Zipei nodded, and tentatively stepped on the corn stalks. Although the movement was clumsy, the effect was still there. After a while, he left a path for himself, and there were only unpicked corn left in the field. , the target is significantly more.

The basket was full of corn, more than twice what Su Zipei usually picked. He put the corn neatly in the basket, and when he lifted it, there was no movement at all, and he put it down with a small face: "I picked too much——"

Wood Spirit: "..."

"It's just a brother who can't even pick corn. Look, how has the corn field been ruined?"

While Su Zipei was standing there thinking about how to move the corn home, a few brothers walked by the field. He only knew Zhou Li, but this time Zhou Li didn't speak, and looked at him a little uncomfortable. It is another brother.

Su Zipei stood there, wearing an indigo-blue gown, which made his figure even slimmer. There was a basket full of corn in front of him, and he looked at the brother who spoke just now: "Are you talking about me?"

Zhou Xing just felt unconvinced, why would Ah Li give in to such a person, he still didn't know that Zhou Xin and Zhou Li had been to Zhou Chengyu's house.So he pointed to the corn field, with a look of resentment on his face: "Don't talk about you, could it be me? Who here doesn't know how to do farm work, that's food, how could you waste the corn field like you?"

"But Chengyu won't be angry." Su Zipei rarely backed down, and Chengyu was his biggest backer, "This is my family's land, and it's none of your business."

"What's the matter?" Li Ying happened to lead Lin Yu over. He wanted to pick some vegetables from the field and went home. He didn't expect to meet this one. He looked at them strangely. Zipei's temperament Surely there will be no quarrel with others, then it can only be someone else who picks things up.

"Brother Cheng Zhi." Zhou Xing and the others didn't say anything. If Li Ying knew they were arguing and told their father when they went back, they would lose face in the village.

"Little uncle!" Lin Yu obviously liked this quiet little uncle very much. Xiao Douding broke away from his father's hand and ran over quickly, hugging Su Zipei's thigh, with a chubby little face turned upside down. To see him.

"Lin Yu, are you here to pick vegetables with Dad? Do you want corn?" Su Zipei knelt down and hugged the child, asking him with a smile.

Since Zhou Xing and the others didn't talk, Li Ying naturally didn't want to be troublesome. He looked at Su Zipei and the full basket of corn on the ground, and said with a smile, "Zipei, why are you the only one today? Where's Chengyu? You can't take it So much, let Chengyu come and mention it."

"Chengyu is at home, um, weeding the vegetable field." Su Zipei felt slightly embarrassed when he thought of the weeds growing in the vegetable field. Yesterday he pulled out a lot of small vegetable seedlings as weeds, and Cheng Yu never let him Touched, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

"Pick some cabbage, Chengzhi finished his work in the next village today." Li Ying smiled slightly, "Come here Xiaoyu, don't be clingy to my uncle, he is going home."

"Don't~" Lin Yu shrank into Su Zipei's arms, looked up at his father, and said in a childish voice, "I'm going to play with my uncle at my uncle's house, can daddy?"

With such a chubby child in his arms, Su Zipei hugged him and smiled slightly: "Brother, let Lin Yu go home with me to play for a while, and I'll send him back after dinner, anyway, I'm free at home. "

"Okay, he's being naughty, don't bother him." Li Ying smiled, and gently told the elder son, "You must listen to my uncle. Dad will go pick vegetables, and you will go home later."

"Goodbye, Dad." Lin Yu waved with a smile, and grabbed Su Zipei's arm with one hand.

Su Zipei ignored Zhou Li and the others who were standing aside, held Lin Yu in one hand and corn in the other, and was about to go back.As for why he was able to mention corn again?

"Mu Ling Mu Ling, you are amazing, you have really become lighter, thank you."

"That's right, everyone says I'm very powerful." The wood spirit showed off, didn't he just use his spiritual energy to support the basket?Hmph, he didn't care at all.

Su Zipei was holding corn in one hand, and Lin Yu in the other. On the way, he met a few elders who went to the field, and they greeted him warmly. After all, this brother often followed Zhou Chengyu, and their marriage had already been settled. , is also from Zhoujia Village.

As soon as Su Zipei returned to the gate of the yard, he saw a cow tied to a tree stump grazing not far away, leading Lin Yu away quickly, feeling worried, this cow is too fierce, and wanted to lick his hand last time!

"Lin Yu, come, eat some candy, will my uncle take you to feed the chicks?" Su Zipei put the corn in the front yard, bent down to pick up Xiao Linyu, peeled a piece of candy for him, and hugged him. Follow him to the backyard.

"it is good."

Zhou Chengyu felt that he was really hard-working, not one of them, look, this is already a small pile of weeds.It's a pity that the wood spirit is not here, otherwise he would need to do it himself, isn't there still a labor?

As soon as Su Zipei came to the backyard, he saw Cheng Yu picking up the field with a hoe, and there was a pile of weeds beside him, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Cheng Yu, I'm back, I picked a lot of corn!"

"Uncle!" Lin Yu was so excited that he had sugar in his mouth.

"Yeah." Zhou Chengyu stood up, and a slim short shirt lined his shoulders, waist, and legs. Although there were mud on his hands, and although he was doing peasant work, he could still vaguely see the past. There are some things about the appearance of that noble son, Young Master Zhou, which cannot be changed, such as the pampered temperament.

On a certain level, Zhou Chengyu is a narcissistic person, so in the past, in modern times, he was particularly diligent in applying for a fitness card, taking off his clothes was still unexpected, and wearing them did not show.

When he came here, his hardware couldn't keep up. He still insisted on doing some simple exercises every day, such as running around his yard a few times, or doing push-ups. Otherwise, how could he pick up Su Zipei, a weak chicken?

"Picked a lot? How did you get it back? Come here and let me see your hands." Zhou Chengyu put down his hoe and walked over, took Lin Yu and put it on the ground, holding the little thing's hand, "Lin Yu stood on the ground obediently, I will hug you in a while."

Su Zipei's hands are very tender. He was scratched in the river before, and the scars on his hands fell off. But when he went to pick up the corn for the first time, because the bamboo strips on the basket were rough and heavy, he almost lost his hand. His hands were worn out, Zhou Chengyu urged him to pick ten at most, and he couldn't lift any more.

"It's okay." Su Zipei's ears were red, and he couldn't help moving his fingertips, "The wood spirit helped me lift it, I didn't do anything, and I didn't strangle it."

"That's good." Zhou Chengyu felt relieved, "I don't need help here, it will be ready in a while, you go and feed the chickens with brown rice, and the chicken and duck's food is also in the bucket, just pour it in. "
