I heard that Mr. is lacking a wife [farming]

June came quietly, and the whole city of Linzhou began to get hot.Longxing Town is very quiet, there are only a few pedestrians on the street, and several small shops are closed. From June to August, the business is very poor, so it is better to go home and help with work.

The previous murder case came to an end, and people came out of panic in just a few days, doing what they had to do.In Dongfeng Village, Ah Wen's death did not bring much emotion to the villagers. Of course, they would use this to educate their children, see, if you do too many bad things, there will be no good fruit to eat, and you still have to do your duty.

As soon as July comes, there will be fewer and fewer ships going to and from the ferry, and the weather will be so hot that those merchants will not come out to suffer. Moreover, July and August are busy farming seasons, and business will be much sluggish.After this month, Li Wugeng will also close the door and go back to threshing millet. Not only him, but many shops in the town will be closed for a while.

Yesterday he went to Mr. He's house to pay the rent, and had a drink with Mr. He on the way.The two chatted for a while, very happy.

There were not many customers in the store, so Li Wugeng confidently handed over the cooking to Da Chen, while he picked up He Baoyun himself.

When he came back, Zhong Qi'an was sitting at the door sulking.He put He Baoyun down, went over and asked, "Why are you sitting here?"

Zhong Qi'an was full of anger, and his anger had not yet calmed down. He raised his head angrily, stood up and left.Li Wugeng didn't know who provoked him, he was very angry these few days, and he would find trouble when things went wrong.

I didn't chase him either, I went back to the store first, and asked Erye Yun who was sitting drinking tea: "What's wrong with your junior brother?"

"General Zhong sent a letter, saying that he would come to pick him up and return to Qingliang in a few days."

Li Wugeng was surprised: "You let him?" He was there when Zhong Qi'an was punished before, knowing that the child didn't want to go home, no wonder he lost his temper.

Yun Shuzhi shook his head, and defended: "Before I had time to write a letter, General Zhong wrote a letter, saying that Qi An's wild nature was difficult to tame, and he wanted to take it back and discipline him personally."

After all, it is his own home. Li Wugeng really doesn't understand why Zhong Qi'an is so reluctant to go back, but he can figure it out after thinking about it carefully. The Zhong family is all military generals, how can the men in the family live as comfortably as other officials' children Well, if Zhong Qi'an goes back here, General Zhong will definitely not let him go, if he is not obedient, he will be served by family law.

"It's fine to take him back, Taoist chief doesn't have time to take care of him on weekdays, and you can't take him with you all the time."

He Baoyun twisted out of his arms, and ran out with the pancakes Li Changguan gave him.Li Wugeng hurriedly caught him back, and reprimanded him: "Don't run around, be careful not to find him back."

"Brother is outside, I'll go and play with him." He Baoyun blinked slyly, just now he saw Zhong Qi'an swaying at the door.

Li Wugeng let him go: "Don't go to the river, come back later for dinner."

"Well, Baoyun knows."

Li Wu was even more worried, and followed him to the door, seeing that he didn't go to the river and looked away, Yun Shuzhi looked behind and couldn't help but chuckle.

Time is like the money saved in Li Wugeng's crock, no matter how much there is, it will be spent little by little in the end.The foreign caravan left Longxing Town on the second day of June. Since that night, Chi Yu and Pei Qiu have never been seen again. Wen Renxi is still the same as usual, patrolling the streets with a knife when he has nothing to do, but Xu Jiurong is nowhere to be seen. , as if missing.

The business of Xu Ji Restaurant was good. Li Wugeng went to get a drink once, and the place was full of drinkers, but he didn't see Xu Jiurong.Wen Renxi also came to Yun Shuzhi once and asked him if he knew where Xu Jiurong had gone, but Yun Shuzhi said he didn't know.

Li Wugeng couldn't help but feel strange, how could a living person be so elusive?It's fine if they don't know, why didn't they tell Wen Renxi when they left?After thinking about it, I can't figure it out, and it's none of his business.

The tenth day of the sixth lunar month is the day to go to Kong Shiyi to get clothes.A set of clothes cost six hundred Wen, and he returned four hundred. When the proprietress gave him the ready-made clothes, she enthusiastically said that if she made clothes again in the future, she would come to her.Li Wugeng responded politely, and he was very satisfied with the quality and style of the clothes.

After taking the new clothes back, Li Wugeng folded them neatly and put them on the bedside. After thinking for a while, he put them back in the closet, but he was afraid that Yun Shuzhi wouldn't see them, so he put them back on the bed.

Yun Shuzhi rented a good horse in the town, and hurriedly sent Zhong Qi'an back to Qingliang.When they all reached the gate of Zhongfu, Zhong Qi'an was still unwilling to go down. He held Yun Shuzhi tightly and refused to let go. He cried with snot and tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "Senior brother, let's go back, my father will beat me to death." mine!"

"Don't worry, your father won't beat you to death." Funny and helpless, Yun Shuzhi hugged him off the horse and straightened the messy chicken nest for him: "Zhong Qi'an, you are a little grown-up now, and I will take care of you in the future. Neither the master nor the master can go for you."

Zhong Qi'an didn't understand Lao Shizi's reasoning, so he just held onto him tightly, out of breath, and said, "I won't go...you, you won't go..."

Yun Shuzhi pushed his hand away and rubbed his head: "Go back, I'll come back to see you when I have time."

General Zhong and the others were already waiting at the door. Mrs. Zhong couldn't help crying when she saw her youngest son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Troublesome Second Young Master." General Zhong thanked him and invited him into the mansion. "The mansion has prepared good wine and food early in the morning. Please come in quickly."

Before coming here, Yun Shuzhi told Li Wugeng that he would go back. If he ate here, he would definitely not be able to go back before dark. Without any hesitation, he declined and said, "No, thank you General for your kindness, but I still want to Do something, next time, next time I will not get drunk with the general and will not return!"

General Zhong was a straightforward person. Since it was inconvenient for him, he didn't insist on keeping him, so he turned around and told Mrs. Zhong to take the child back, and sent Yun Shuzhi out of the city himself.

When I returned to Longxing, the sky was covered with black cloth, the sky was filled with a white moon, and sparse stars were dotted around.The door of the house was not closed, and Li Wugeng and He Baoyun were sitting in the yard waiting for him.

Feeling warm in his heart, Yun Shuzhi gently closed the door: "I'm back."

"Sir." He Baoyun rushed over joyfully, grabbing his leg to hug him.

Yun Shuyi lifted him up and asked, "Are you hungry? Have you eaten?"

He Baoyun also cooperated very well, his stomach was rumbling, he put his arms around Yun Shuzhi's neck, and rubbed it affectionately: "I won't be hungry after eating, but my uncle said we can't eat until you come back."

Li Wugeng didn't expect that he would tell the matter in just a few words, his face was hot immediately, and he turned his head unnaturally: "I just think I won't be bothered to wash the dishes twice later."

Yun Shuzhi was thoughtful, didn't expose him, and carried He Baoyun back to the house.The dishes still had residual heat, so they could be eaten without cooking. He served the rice well.Li Wugeng picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He was hungry after waiting for so long.

In five days, Yun Shuzhi's birthday.Li Wugeng didn't cook any delicacies, so he cooked a few home-cooked dishes, made a pot of wine, and invited the fourth aunt's family and Yang Zhiheng, and everyone sat around a table for dinner.

Two days later, Yun Shuzhi packed his bags and went back to Beijing to get the important things he said.Li Wugeng sent him to the entrance of the village. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. He paused for a long while and said, "Take care on the way."

Yun Shuzhi got on the horse calmly, and said in a joyful tone, "Wait for me to come back!"

The horse whipped down, and the dust flew up.

Li Wugeng stood at the entrance of the village for a long time, distracted, but it was He Baoyun who pulled him back: "Uncle, it's time to go back."

"Yes." Li Wugeng pulled him up.

He Baoyun squeezed his index finger, raised his head and asked, "When will Mr. Yun come back?"

After leaving, I asked about the date of return. This little guy didn't know what he was in a hurry for.

"It's half a month sooner, if it's slower..." Li Wugeng calculated, "It may take more than a month."

On June [-]th, Xu Jiurong, who had disappeared for almost a month, finally reappeared. He hurried over and asked where Yun Shuzhi was.

Before Yun Shuzhi left, he gave Li Wugeng a box and asked him to give it to Xu Jiurong.

"He has returned to Beijing, this is for you." Li Wugeng took out the box.Xu Jiurong took it, half opened the top of the box and looked, it was what he wanted.

"If Yun Shuzhi comes back, let him find me at Xuji Restaurant." Xu Jiurong said.

Li Wugeng nodded.The beast was afraid of strangers, and was hiding in a corner. Xu Jiurong glanced at it and left.

"Don't be afraid, he's gone." Li Wugeng went over to pat it and comforted it.Strange to say, this huge beast is afraid of everyone, even if it is not afraid of him and Baoyun, maybe it is a kind of fate.Taoist Xuanqing left the Qiankun box behind when he left, and said that if the beast was dishonest, he would put it in. Li Wugeng would put it in the box except when there were other people at home, and usually let it out and stay there .

The hybrid beast butted its head against his legs.

The threshing ground is not far from home, and there are many people there now.He Baoyun was not at home, he went there early in the morning, and the most interesting time of the year was July and August, when children from every household would gather outside the threshing ground to scramble for leftover corn kernels and so on.

In mid-July, it is time to thresh millet.The heavy rice is bent over, which is very gratifying. This year is another bumper harvest year.

At this time of the year, Li Wugeng had to run around. Li Changguan couldn't collect the corn and millet by himself, so he had to help.He was so tired that he was about to die every day, so he drank some water, rested for a while, put on his straw hat that shaded him, and went out to work again.

The venomous sun is going to burn people, and the eyes of those busy in the fields are blurred by sweat, and they can't see clearly, but their hands and feet are still moving fast, which doesn't affect anything at all.After more than a month of busy work, the corn and rice were finally harvested.

Li Wugeng still has half a field of peanuts. After harvesting the peanuts, he has nothing to do this year.

The return date has long passed, but Yun Shuzhi did not come back. During this period, Xu Jiurong came to look for him again, and Li Wugeng asked him to come back in half a month.

Half a month later, Yun Shuzhi still hadn't returned.

After packing the sun-dried peanuts, Li Wugeng put away the dustpan and swept the yard clean.

He Baoyun ran back dirty, scooped up a ladle of water in the tank and poured it vigorously, came out again after drinking well, followed behind him, and asked, "Uncle, is Mr. Yun back yet?"

"do not know."

That person has been gone for more than two months, and there is no news, who knows if he will come back.
