What a cheating husband

Liang Zijun went home and told Chen Qing some anecdotes on the street, but Chen Qing just gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "If he can pass the examination for a scholar with his virtue, Abi can become an official and become a female official!"

Chen Qing picked up the cloth towel and wiped the dust off his trouser legs, completely ignoring Liang Zijun's surprised gaze.How could he care about Chen Ping's well-being, the lack of water in the crops made him even more worried.

Within 5 days, not only Chen Qing was worried, but even Wan Zhuoping couldn't sit still. After discussing with Chen Bi, they drove back to Wanliutun.

As soon as Chen Qing waited for his sister to leave, he dragged Liang Zijun back home, and irrigated the three acres of dry land with his shoulders and hands, so that he could sit in the house and embroider in a down-to-earth manner.

In a few days, Liang Zijun will go to the province to rush for the exam, so he has to hurry up and make the clothes.Otherwise, this hard-to-serve master will make trouble until he can't sleep.

The three cousins ​​of the Liang family had already begun routine inspections of crop growth, and they gathered together to discuss secretly after returning.

"I'm afraid it will reduce production by [-]% compared to previous years." Liang Ziping was the first to tell the truth.

"Fortunately, there have been a few good rains in spring, otherwise there will be a severe drought." Liang Zizhuang poured a cup of herbal tea and wiped his mouth.

Over the years, farmers have been worried about abnormal weather, fearing that the heat will not be hot and there will be too much rain.But this year, there have been two sporadic light rains throughout the summer, and the land was not even wet. If there is no more rain near the autumn harvest, the grains may not be sold at a good price even if they are not abundant.

"Don't sell all the grain harvested this year. If the year is bad and winter comes, tenants may come to borrow grain," Liang Zixian confessed, knocking off the grass clippings on the soles of his shoes.

Liang Boda nodded. In previous years, the tenants failed to harvest, and those who had a hard time would come to borrow grain.According to the usual practice, the IOU is issued and the next autumn harvest will be counted.Liang Boda had lived longer and had more experience, so he asked Zixian to save more grain in case the price of grain would rise, so that there would be no grain to use in the spring.

"Are you ready for the seeds?" Liang Zixian couldn't help thinking of the severe drought in the past two years. My father never talked nonsense. If there is a severe drought, we must make preparations early.

"There's nothing serious this year, at most it's a lack of harvest. I'm afraid it won't be a good year next year, so be prepared." Liang Baida chuckled lightly, relieving the suddenly tense atmosphere in the room.

Farmers rely on the sky for food. If they suffer from disasters year after year, it will be a major event of family ruin.The Liang family is both the owner and has enough energy to help the tenants, so they don't hesitate to lose this little.

Liang Zixian nodded and made a secret note, even if the food is stored for a year, it will only lose a little money, if it is true that disasters happen year after year, even if there is money, it may not be able to raise food.

Because Liang Zijun was rushing to take the exam, several older brothers took care of these chores at home, and the mountain spring in the back mountain had also shrunk significantly due to the drought. Fortunately, Chen Qing's land was not much and was irrigated by the river, but it was better than other people's fields. Well, a full grain is not like a bad harvest.

After Chen Qing finished watering the land again, she couldn't help worrying for Tian Duo's family, even if the family was strong and labored, they might not be able to water it.

After the Beginning of Autumn, Liang Zijun was ready to set off. Apart from the basic necessities of life that needed to be taken care of in advance, shopkeeper Wan also took care of all the store affairs.

"If he can't handle it, he will send someone to look for it. If I'm not at home, you can figure it out yourself." Liang Zijun said while staring at the busy figure.

"Well, don't worry," Chen Qinghun replied indifferently.The shopkeeper Wanda can't handle the things that he can't handle except the closure of the store. Now that the supply of goods in the cloth shop is stable, and the embroidery room is working normally, what big problem can't be solved?

Liang Zijun curled his lips into a smile, his husband took care of big things and didn't interfere in small things, he was really a good and wise housemate, with him around, he really didn't have to worry about the store affairs.

Chen Qing prepared 5 sets of unlined clothing, three pairs of shoes, and hairpin accessories for Liang Zijun, carefully packing them into cloth bags.The results of the provincial examinations would not be released until early winter, so Chen Qing packed another jacket and two pairs of cotton shoes, and packed them together with the quilts in a bundle.

The township examination is different from the county examination. Instead of one test per day, there are three tests (four books and five classics, policy questions, and poetry bins), each three days old.The township examination is held in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, with the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth day of the lunar month as the main session. Candidates enter the venue one day before each main session and exit the day after.

To stay in No. [-] room for six nights, all the food items need to be prepared, Chen Qing doesn't need to worry about the main food, Liang Zijun's favorite side dishes and snacks are packed by Chen Qing in a small bag.

"It's nothing more than a little food, but a casual bite in a few days will be enough." Liang Zijun said softly from his thin waist around his back.

"When you're away from home, how can there be anything that fits your mouth? At most, it's just a little bit of effort to carry it, so you can save it and complain to me when you come back." Chen Qing patted his hand and continued to tidy up like a little wife.

Liang Zijun's heart was warmed by his caring words, and he couldn't help but be reluctant to leave such a heart-warming wife.

This time I set off one month earlier, except for the time spent on the road, most of it was spent on connecting with classmates, discussing knowledge and holding poetry meetings.

The battle on the surface is only second, and the most important thing is to open up the joints to avoid failure in the examination room, just like Shen Shuquan's test papers were replaced after the examination because of his lack of understanding of the world.Many bribes have been done in secret before the exam, and there are many ways to cheat on the spot. One mistake may wipe out years of preparation.

Therefore, every well-connected student took advantage of this opportunity to go to the provincial capital early to pass the customs and take bribes. The uneducated tried to bribe and cheat, and the educated were afraid of being sacked.As for those who are still educated and suffer from lack of financial resources, they do everything possible to attract attention, trying to climb up to the nobles to ensure a smooth journey.

Although Chen Qing didn't know all these things, she also thought that arriving early would help her adapt to the atmosphere of the examination room.After Liang Zijun left, Chen Qing started to arrange farm tools and dry vegetables in the sun.

After the end of summer, the weather turned cooler, and before the precious rain, most of the crops in the field were reduced.Farmers couldn't afford to wait, so they had to start the autumn harvest one after another, and people in full swing can be seen everywhere in the fields.Chen Qingyuan wanted to reject Li San and Wei Liang's help, but they made fun of them, "How can there be a reason why the boss works and the long-term worker rests?"

Embarrassed, Chen Qing asked the two of them to take care of them. After harvesting the three-acre dry field and the half-acre vegetable field, Chen Qing divided some of the sun-dried vegetables among each family, and stored the rest in the cellar under the patio.

Liang Zixian looked at the slightly cautious sister-in-law in front of him with a funny face, and waited for him to explain the purpose of coming before he said, "Zijun is the master of this matter, why come to me to discuss it?"

Chen Qing took a sneaky look at Dadu Gong, and then said loudly, "The three mu of good land is recorded in the public account, and it is not owned by Zijun himself. Of course, the rent must be handed over to the long house."

"If you say so, it doesn't matter, just pay half of the harvest according to the rules." Liang Zixian looked at his father helplessly, these three sisters-in-law are really screwy.Liang Baida just smiled and said nothing, he didn't want to interfere in the younger generation's affairs, he let the younger couple quarrel, anyway, it's a family, it's okay to take it slowly.

"The remaining half, I plan to divide it among the houses, and save money to buy food... Although the family does not lack these coarse foods, it has caused a lot of trouble for everyone in the past year, which is my little Heart" Chen Qing honestly poured out the pre-written belly draft.

Brother Yang first covered his stomach and laughed, Liang Zixian hurriedly comforted the laughing little husband, and then laughed and scolded, "Why don't you become a long-term worker?"

Chen Qing scratched her head in embarrassment, and bowed her head.

"Then what's the name of the owner? Big brother!" Liang Zixian hurt him with a smile.

"Hey, big brother!" Chen Qing responded with a bright smile.

Liang Baida pointed at Chen Qing and scolded with a smile, "This idiot finally understands, let's live a good life with Zijun from now on! I know you are capable, and I will have to rely on you to take care of that brat in the future. I don't think the rent will be paid. Grind it directly into powder and distribute it to each courtyard."

Chen Qing couldn't help laughing secretly at how stupid he was after hearing the point, the family had long recognized him, but he was the only one who foolishly treated himself as an outsider.

Three mu of dry land produces 700 catties of wheat, 1200 catties of corn and 2000 catties of potatoes.If it wasn't for the bad year, the fields were not fertile, and the yield would be higher, but even so, because Chen Qing was irrigated in a timely manner, the medium-sized fields would still produce a little more grain than the high-grade fields.

After threshing, drying, and grinding into flour, each family will share a bag of white flour and a little black flour, and the wheat bran will be stored as winter feed.The threshing of corn is used as feed for livestock except for part of the milling powder.

Part of the half acre of potatoes was reserved for seeding, and the rest was piled into the cellar for the courtyards to use. Even Li San and Wei Liang shared a portion of each for wages during these days.

Chen Qing borrowed an ox cart to send the ground white flour and corn flour to Uncle Liang. The old man put the potatoes the size of his fist on his back and said, "It's not bad that you can grow so big without harvesting."

The old man didn't talk to him a few times, and he didn't even give the hairpin a squeak. At this moment, he received a rare compliment from Uncle Liang, and Chen Qing was quite happy.Handing Uncle Liang a set of sauce-red clothes he had sewn, Chen Qing rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go into the kitchen to make birthday noodles.

Knowing about Uncle Liang's 70th birthday from his uncle, Chen Qing couldn't help but be surprised. This old man has a strong body, and occasionally he is full of energy when he works hard.

In previous years, in the Liang family mansion, most of the people would serve him a bowl of birthday noodles to celebrate his birthday. This time Liang Zijun ordered Chen Qing to give it to Zhang Luo when he was rushing for the exam. Join the fun at the table.

Chen Qing quickly fried a few dishes, rolled out a three-meter-long longevity noodle, put two poached eggs on it, boiled it, and brought it to the main room.

Uncle Liang changed his clothes and sat at the table, gave Chen Qing a glance, and said, "Why do you cook so many dishes?" He picked up the birthday noodles and went back to his hut.

Lighting a stick of incense, she smiled at her husband's spirit seat and wrinkled her face, "Look at this dress, isn't it beautiful? Sanwazi's husband embroidered it! I wanted to wear only the clothes you embroidered, but because of my son's filial piety, the old man decided Make an exception and wear it once... This husband is good, he can farm and his body is good, the third child has made him restrain himself, and if he gives birth to a baby sooner, the old man can rest assured to accompany you..."

Picking up the birthday noodles and taking a bite, Uncle Liang said to Fu Lang with tears in his eyes, "It's a pity that it's not as delicious as yours..."

Chen Qing sat down at the table, he still couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking, how could he eat the dishes on this table, so he simply set aside a little of each dish, and left the rest for Uncle Liang to make dinner.

After dinner, Chen Qing and Liang Bo informed each other and drove the ox cart back to Liangjia Village. Tomorrow is the new year's rent collection. Liang Zijun is not here, so I think it will take two more busy days.

In the early morning of the second day, Chen Qing was standing in the courtyard waiting in his linen shorts.In previous years, each of the four brothers brought one. This year Liang Zijun was not around, so Chen Qing filled Liang Zijun's absence and led Wei Liang to collect the rent.

"It's good to have a capable sister-in-law, and it saves us a lot of energy," Liang Ziping chattered to Liang Zixian, shaking his arms.

"Be careful when Feng Zhi hears you slapping your mouth." Liang Zixian insulted him jokingly. He couldn't bear Brother Yang to work so hard. In two months, the baby will fall to the ground. The first time I saw that huge belly, I was worried that Brother Yang would not be able to survive.

A Niang also told me not to be greedy, otherwise the adults will suffer when the child is too strong, but I have spoiled my little husband, seeing his poor greedy mouth, I can't help but allow him to eat more, but the result is a mouthful. With one bite, the belly is as big as a ball.

The deceased wife wasted too much because of dystocia. Although she saved her life, she couldn't survive for a few years. The sadness of the past is still vivid, and the closer the delivery is, the more disturbed she feels.

Liang Zixian was full of worries, Liang Zizhuang was going to marry a daughter after the autumn harvest, and he didn't have the heart to joke with the two, so he hurried out to pull the ox cart and headed towards the entrance of the village.
