What a cheating husband

It was half past noon (three o'clock in the afternoon) when Chen Qing returned to Qingping Town. He went to Tongji Cloth Shop to hand in the embroidery, and hurriedly bought the items that his aunt asked for, and then hurriedly jogged back to Chenjiagou .

I went up the mountain to hide the silver, and it was already Shen time (6 pm) when I got home.Usually, Chen Qing would arrive home before he went to town, but this time he was an hour late, so Chen Bi didn't even finish his dinner, and stood at the door looking out after washing the dishes.

Seeing Chen Qing's figure in the distance, the little girl rushed forward and buried her brother in his chest with tears in her eyes.Chen Qing touched the girl's head, held up the aggrieved face and said, "I came back late, I made Abi worry."

"I know my brother will be fine, but I'm a little anxious." Chen Bi bit her lips and said, she was really afraid that something would happen to her brother, and she was even more afraid that he would leave Abi alone if he left.

"Don't worry, everything is going well, and something good happened to me today, I'll tell you about it when I get home tonight." Chen Qing blamed herself and wiped away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes.

"I've saved dinner for you, hurry up and eat it, I'm afraid you'll be hungry all day without breakfast." Chen Bi took his brother and walked to the uncle's natal house.

Handing things over to the auntie would inevitably lead to her nagging, but for the sake of the money, Chen Qing was not allowed to eat.

Abi’s embroidery work cost 30 Wen, and after digging the herbal medicine, there was still 15 Wen left. In this poor farm family with no other income, 15 Wen is not too little.

When I got home in the evening, the two brothers and sisters practiced calligraphy one by one and narrated it by the other, which was quite enjoyable.When Chen Bi heard that his brother had been wronged in the county, he couldn't help complaining a lot to those rich men. Even though what his brother said was interesting, Chen Bi could still find the humiliation in just a few words.

Seeing the girl put away her smiling face, Chen Qing touched her nose, raised the corner of her mouth and said, "In addition to the 12 taels of silver earned by the writing brush, the embroidery work last time was also exchanged for five taels of silver. The better our craftsmanship, the better we can get it back in the future." The more money I have, plus what I saved before, there are a full 20 taels of silver. It is enough to buy a set of clothes (a set of jewelry) for Abi."

100 Wen is equal to one money, and 1000 Wen is consistent money (one tael)

"These are all thanks to my brother, and Abi's craftsmanship can't be exchanged for much." Chen Bi knew that at least 7% of the five coins were exchanged for his brother's embroidery.

"Who said that? My aunt praised that you have improved a lot in your skills. You can be promoted to the top rank in less than 2 years. Abi is much smarter than your brother." Chen Qing praised his sister proudly, as if his aunt praised his sister for being smart, which is better than her sister. He is still happy.

"Auntie really said that? Hehe... that's what my brother taught me." Chen Bi finally smiled, put down the brush, and nestled into his brother's arms.

"That's right, I don't want to see who you are." Chen Qing also seldom laughed, and played with his sister for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, she asked Chen Bi to collect her things and prepare to wash up.

"The writing brush is so profitable, shall we continue to do it in the future?" Chen Bi was worried that if he went to the county again, his brother would be wronged, and what would the rich young master who suffered a loss do if he took revenge on his brother?

"Do it, why don't you do it? Since you're making money, it's the same if you don't go to the county to sell it. Although you can't sell it at a good price in the town, you can still earn more than digging herbs," Chen Qing replied affirmatively.

"Well, don't go to the county to sell it in the future, but sell it in the college in the town. But be careful, if you let Chen Ping see it, the uncle will definitely come to fight the autumn wind." Chen Bi is young and has a ghostly spirit.

"Well, if my aunt finds out, she will definitely guess that we have hidden private money. If there is a trouble at that time, I'm afraid it will be bad. I really have to be more careful in the future." Chen Qing also said in a low tone. There are many acquaintances in the town. From time to time, he slipped to the town to play with the group of students.If you encounter it, it will not end well.

After Chen and Qing washed their hands, it was Youshi (8:[-] p.m.). After a long day of exhaustion, they fell asleep on the pillow and slept until it was light before waking up faintly.

It took a whole day for the brother and sister to put away all the dry goods in the yard, and the autumn harvest came.

At the autumnal equinox, the fields are golden everywhere, and every household is busy with the autumn harvest. They have to rush to harvest the crops before the cold dew comes, and they still need to thresh and hustle, and some of them are busy with work.

Chen Qing is already half a child, and this year he obviously feels a lot more relaxed, at least he won't be so tired that he will fall asleep as soon as he gets home.Old man Chen didn't dare to spare his strength during the autumn harvest time. Fortunately, it didn't catch up with the rain, otherwise the work would be delayed, and he would have to spend more time drying it.

Most of the dry fields are planted with wheat and bracts.A small portion grows potatoes and sweet potatoes for their own consumption.Chen Qing also sowed some bean seeds in the field, planning to make tofu in winter.

Chen Qing doesn't take over work during the busy farming season, and even Chen Bi doesn't need to do embroidery work for a month, but cooks and takes care of livestock every day.Deliver food and water to the fields in their spare time.

Miao Rencui led her parents-in-law to arrange the harvested crops at home, and everyone in the family except Chen Ping needed to work.The corn needs to be peeled off and tied into long strings to hang on the rack to dry. The wheat is turned over with the rods together, and the grains are threshed to remove the stems after they are completely dry.

Chen Qing went home with his uncle carrying food after it was dark. When they got home, they didn't have time to drink water, so they peeled the corn by the firelight, packed up the corn that they carried back, and then took the girl home to wash.

After several days of high-intensity labor, even a man in his prime could not bear it, but Chen Qing never complained. He cherished his hard-won second life. Even though his body was tired, he lived a more realistic life.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to being tired. Chen Qing, who had never worked in the previous life, now feels his muscles tense even if he doesn’t work all day. Maybe people are really slavish. Once the body and mind accept and get used to the current life, they will I feel that all of this is as it should be, and it is often a normal thing to follow the laws of heaven.

Everything in the past has become more and more far away from Chen Qing as he merged into this era. If he hadn't deliberately remembered it, he would have lost his memory of the past and truly lived in this world as a little brother.

Habits are really a terrible thing. At first, Chen Qing couldn't accept that she was a gender-confused existence, and couldn't bear the social state of backward production, conservative thinking, and even some superstition.

But as time goes by, even thinking is kidnapped inadvertently, and I am used to obeying the laws and regulations of this society in everything I do.

What Chen Qing can't stand the most is the inequality between men and women. Although his little brother is in a gray area, once he becomes a brother and marries, he must be classified as a woman who needs to respect women's virtues, respect her husband as heaven, and even live a lifetime dependent on a man.

Rather than live without dignity, Chen Qing would rather be a man with his chest up and his head held high to survive.This is Chen Qing's only bottom line. If he really agrees with the identity of the younger brother, then this Chen Qing is not that Chen Qing. He really bid farewell to the past and lives in this world as a new life.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are not easy to harvest, and the crops buried in the ground need to be dug out. At the beginning, Chen Qing often brought out one or two bruised potatoes when he shoveled down, but with the accumulation of experience, the soil was loosened, With a firm lift, a string of potatoes was pulled out of the soil.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are grown for winter rations, so the amount is not large, and they can be removed for seeding, enough for a family to eat for a winter and spring.

Chen Qing and his uncle had been busy for three days before finishing the work. They sat on the ground and demushed the newly dug potatoes and put them into the back basket.

"Uncle, just pretend and let me carry it." Chen Qing took over the strenuous work, and old man Chen nodded, telling him to take a rest when he was tired.

There is an extra bluestone slab in the farmyard to dry grain. Potatoes are big, and as long as the mud wrapped around them is dried, they can be stored in the cellar, so they are not placed on the bluestone slab to dry, but piled in a corner of the yard alone.

After several trips back and forth to transport the potatoes home, Chen Qingcai took the water bowl that Abi handed over, and gulped it down.

"It's time to collect the paddy fields tomorrow." Abi obediently patted her brother's shoulders. Her delicate hands had become quite rough in the past few days, and there were still a few small wounds on them.

Chen Qing took her sister's hand distressedly and looked at it carefully. A girl's hand is the most precious. If it is properly maintained, it will be white and soft, and it will look countless times better than a man's.However, Chen Qing tried not to let Chen Bi do heavy work, even if he was born in a farm, he would inevitably hurt his hands.

The young ladies in the city are the real ones who don't touch the spring water. If you want to have a pair of delicate hands, you can't be born in a farm family.Chen Bi knew that her brother loved her hands the most, fearing that he would talk about her again, she hurriedly shrank her hands behind her back.

It seems that the next time I go to town, I should buy some facial oil to wipe my sister's hands, Chen Qing thought silently.

The more she loves her sister, the more distorted her heart becomes. Chen Qing is faintly obsessed with raising her sister into a pair of wealthy hands.

He didn't know that his stubborn thoughts had deeply affected Chen Bi. Chen Bi thought that the reason why his brother cared so much about his hands was that his hands were full of calluses due to years of hard work.Which brother's hands can be as rough as his brother's?The more his brother cared, the more Chen Bi blamed himself.

"I have to take back the hard beans first. Don't keep getting wet, so as not to scar the wound." After Chen Qing instructed his sister, he picked up the sickle and rope and went out to work.

Seeing Chen Qing go to cut hard beans, old man Chen knew that the quantity was not big, so he didn't move, he sat in the yard and beat his legs to rest.

"Damn girl, your uncle is so tired that he doesn't know how to beat his shoulder." Miao Rencui gave Chen Bi a white look.

Chen Bi bit her lip, stood behind her uncle with a dull face and beat her shoulders, his brother was still working, but his uncle could rest, hum~

"Look at that dead face. It's for you to eat and wear. It doesn't even look like a smile. It's really frustrating." Miao Rencui was a little tired from work these two days, and naturally her mood was not much better, and she habitually vented her anger on Chen Bi.Then Chen Qing dared to contradict her, but Chen Bi was easy to bully.

"The clothes I wear are all changed from my mother's clothes before she was alive, and I haven't worn your clothes." Chen Bi pouted and stared at Miao Rencui.

"Hey, this is going against the sky today! See how I teach you a lesson!" Miao Rencui was furious, and raised her hand to slap Chen Bi.

The small cheek was slapped to the ground by the forceful slap, but the raging anger shot out from the eyes.Chen Bi gritted her teeth without snoring, clenched her small fists, and glared fiercely at the auntie.

Miao Rencui was inexplicably guilty of being stared at by the little girl, but she was used to beating and scolding, so she was not afraid of the staring, and slapped Chen Bi on the back while cursing.In the past when beating Chen Bi, he tried to hit places where he couldn't see. Today, he slapped his face, fearing that he would arouse Chen Qing's anger, but he beat him all the time, so he might as well give him two more blows to relieve his anger.
