What a cheating husband

After harvesting one village, Liang Zijun had completely become a shopkeeper when he arrived at the next village. He only stepped forward to give advice when Chen Qing was too busy or in trouble.Chen Qing found out that the trivial things that were originally a mess were analyzed by Liang Zijun, and after they were pulled out, the rest were untied in a logical manner.

For those who did not pay all the rent last year, Chen Qing didn't bother to bother, so he directly handed it over to Liang Zijun.

After transporting the food from the two villages to the rice shop in the county seat, Chen Qing discovered that the reason why Liang Zijun arrived home the first was not entirely because of the shortest distance, but because Liang Zijun's team was the fastest.

In previous years, following Liang Zixian, many old tenants would come to say hello, make friends, or discuss the renewal of the land lease due in the next year, or some trivial matters such as rent due to some unclear accounts.

At that time, Liang Zixian and Li San dealt with it, and it took a lot of time for nothing.When they arrived at Liang Zijun's place, these trivial matters were settled directly in a few words between rent collections. Obviously these two are big villages with the most tenants, but Liang Zijun was stunned to finish the collection in the shortest possible time and then drag them to the county to sell them.

Seeing Chen Qing's slightly weird expression, Liang Zijun squinted his eyes and smiled complacently, "Why? Now I realize that your husband is a capable man!"

Chen Qing pouted, not wanting to pay attention to his smug face, "It's just collecting rent, what kind of skill is that?"

"Cut~ Throw it into other teams, you are still busy loading cars now! You don't know what's good!" Liang Zijun slapped his horse angrily, and he was not serious with Chen Qing.Sooner or later, one day he will know how powerful his men are, and he will completely worship at his feet.

After ten days of busy work, although Chen Qing did not do any heavy work, the problem of sore legs and feet did not heal quickly.

Liang Zijun’s team was the first to finish the work, but the other teams took an extra day to complete the work. Chen Qing also faintly felt that Liang Zixian’s team collected more rents every year. Now it takes 10 days to complete the work. When the times are bad and there are few tenants who pay money, it is not uncommon for them to work for 13 or 20 days.

Chen Qing can somewhat guess the reason, that is, the Liang family kept buying land while renting it out, so there are more and more land, and the construction period is getting longer and longer, but this increase is not obvious, Ordinary short-term workers can't find it either.After all, the Liang family had too much land, and no one could figure it out. It's really not a big deal to add dozens of acres of land every year.

Chen Qing packed all kinds of dried vegetables in separate bags and sent a small portion to each courtyard.He didn't talk too much, and went out after delivering the things, and even the few female relatives who didn't talk often knew that Chen Qing was actually a boring gourd, but he was easy to get along with.

Brother Yang held the dried sweet potato that he participated in drying and chewed it, and it was delicious, then turned his head and ground Chen Qing to fry walnuts for him.

"It's almost cold dew. If you don't go into the mountains, I'm afraid you won't be able to collect all the mountain products. I'll fry the walnuts for you tomorrow night. I'll make another trip at dawn." Chen Qing patted the dustpan and dumped the dirt Kong, turned around and walked out with the bamboo basket and sickle.

"The rent has just been collected, so why don't you stay at home and rest, where do you want to go?" Liang Zijun just came back from his second brother's house, and saw Chen Qing planning to go out with a broken basket on his back.

"Enter the mountain" Chen Qing hastily explained, and walked away regardless of whether Liang Zijun agreed or not.

Normally, when Chen Qing didn't wait for Liang Zijun to reply, it meant that even if Liang Zijun was bound with money, Chen Qing didn't intend to compromise.Liang Zijun tried it twice and let his little temper go.

Chen Qing was not greedy when he went to the mountain this time. Before dark, he harvested half a box of walnuts and half a box of hazelnuts, and dug a small bag of cassava, half a bag of oak seeds, and a small half bag of chestnuts. A kudzu root.

Pueraria lobata is also called Pueraria lobata.The root can be used as medicine, excavated in autumn and winter, cut into thick slices or small pieces while fresh, has the functions of relieving muscle and reducing fever, clearing rash, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, promoting yang and relieving diarrhea.

Pueraria lobata is a common herb that grows mostly in hillside grass or roadsides and damp places.It has a special effect on common diseases such as headache and brain fever, retching, irritability, and acute yellow jaundice.

This kudzu root is not small, Chen Qing intends to keep some of it to prevent emergencies in winter, and send the rest to shopkeeper Lin for money as usual.Speaking of shopkeeper Lin, he hadn't visited his aunt and shopkeeper Lin in the town for nearly a month.I don't know how the girl is doing well in Wan's house, so next time I go to the county, I'd better ask Uncle Liu to find out.

When Chen Qing returned home in the dark, Liang Zijun was already impatient with waiting, so he almost picked up a lantern to look for him.Seeing Chen Qing came back, he warned him with a dark face that he must go home before dark next time.

Chen Qing didn't make a sound, just went straight into the stove and sorted out the mountain goods by the light of the fire.

"Did you eat?" Chen Qing saw that the kitchen had been turned over, and asked Liang Zijun outside the courtyard.

"No!" Liang Zijun stood in the courtyard and listened to the croaking of frogs and insects, he was very irritable. After speaking, he waved his hands and went into the main room to wait for food.

Chen Qing curled her lips, usually the house doesn't open fire, so don't they eat at the second sister-in-law's house?Why do we have to wait for him to do it today?

I lit the hot pot, quickly fried a green vegetable, heated up four steamed buns, made an egg drop soup, shredded green bamboo shoots and mixed it with a refreshing cold dish.

This green bamboo shoot has a taste similar to cucumber, but it is crisper and refreshing. Sprinkle some salt, onion, ginger and garlic to enhance the taste. It is a rare dish in autumn and winter to clear away heat and relieve heat.

Liang Zijun loves this cold dish mixed with Chen Qing the most, and he always takes up half of it, and Chen Qing doesn't bother to grab it from him, anyway, there is still a small part left in the field, and it will be enough to eat before the snow falls.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Liang Pakcang and his wife were about to go on a long journey, so there was no big plan for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.Only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of each courtyard gather together to make moon cakes and have a reunion dinner.

Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had the custom of offering sacrifices to the moon, appreciating the moon, worshiping the moon, eating moon cakes, enjoying sweet-scented osmanthus, and drinking sweet-scented osmanthus wine.The Mid-Autumn Festival takes the circle of the moon as a symbol of the reunion of people. It is a sustenance to miss the hometown, miss the love of relatives, and pray for a good harvest and happiness.

The Mid-Autumn Festival for farmers is also related to agriculture, and autumn is the harvest season.In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the crops and various fruits and vegetables mature one after another. In order to celebrate the harvest and express their joy, farmers use "Mid-Autumn Festival" as a festival. "Mid-Autumn Festival" means the middle of autumn.

After dinner, each family will set up a "moonlight position" at night, and "worship to the moon" in the direction of the moon.Regardless of whether the offering is fruit or cake, it must be placed in a circle.

In previous years, after offering sacrifices to the moon at home, Liang Zijun would always invite his friends to celebrate the festive season. The students in the county would also compete in knowledge according to the custom, or enjoy the moon. It is rare that there is no curfew on the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is a great day for everyone to have fun .

Customs can be subdivided into eleven items:

Appreciating the moon: The literati recite poems to poems, drink and chat under the moon.

Two stepping on the moon: Men and women or women go out together under the moon, sing songs under the moon, travel, and walk across at least three bridges.

Three Appreciation of Osmanthus: Appreciate the moon under the osmanthus tree, chant poems, and drink wine.

Four Moon Worship: A large incense table is specially set up in the county town, and moon cakes, watermelon, apples, red dates and other offerings are placed on the table.Men and women have their own goals, men wish to leave the toad palace early and climb up to the fairy osmanthus, while women wish to "look like Chang'e, with a face like a bright moon"

Five worships to the old man: seek love, seek a mate, love is like a full moon.

Six mascots, Rabbit Master (Rabbit Lord): Rabbit-shaped toys made of clay or flour, wearing human clothes, in various shapes and identities, bought more to amuse children.

Seven incense: burn with sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.Women use osmanthus oil and osmanthus powder.

Eighth Reunion Festival: Harmony between husband and wife.Ancestral worship.Have a family reunion dinner and watch the moon.

September palace talisman, ten new moon worship, and bronze mirrors on the eleventh Mid-Autumn Festival.

Liang Zijun just got married and had to stay at home with his parents, so he had to complete all kinds of tedious etiquette at home, and sat in the courtyard drinking osmanthus wine and eating moon cakes with his elders.

The sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing was bought from a restaurant in the county, and the moon cakes were made from Chenqing and noodles, and Brother Yang stirred the fillings.With this effort, the two little brothers covered it all, and it didn't take much effort for the rest to make mooncakes with molds.

For dinner, the Song family, Zhou family, and Zhao family each cook a few special dishes, and the daughters-in-law help out and learn cooking skills from their mother-in-law.Chen Qing did most of the physical work, such as chopping bones, cutting meat, and lighting fires.He is also a person who spares no effort, so although he was silent, he was praised by the three elders.

Brother Yang secretly laughed bitterly and said, "In previous years, it was so uncomfortable for me to be alone in the kitchen, but fortunately, I have you by my side this year."

Every New Year's Eve, Chen Qing had to bring his girls to work in the kitchen, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. After Brother Jing Yang reminded him, he found a room full of women, and the two of them were really not embarrassed.

Chen Qing patted Brother Yang comfortingly and said, "Work more and talk less, anyway, we don't need both of us except physical work."

Brother Yang nodded his head joyfully, and vigorously chopped the minced meat on the cutting board into minced meat.

"Okay, you two go out for a break, there's not much work in the kitchen, sit and have a drink or two with the men." Shao Fengzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead. The kitchen was on fire and it was stuffy and hot. It can also be cooler.

Chen Qing looked at Brother Yang, and Brother Yang threw away the kitchen knife, pulled Chen Qing and ran out of the kitchen, pulling his collar and muttering, "It's so hot!"

Chen Qing didn't want to join in the fun, and he always felt that he couldn't integrate into the atmosphere of this family, so he used the excuse of going back to the courtyard to take a shower, so as to avoid the embarrassment of chatting at the same table.

After the reunion dinner at night, Liang Zijun stuffed a mouthful of mooncakes.This man couldn't eat anything left, so he squeezed his jaw open and stuffed it in whole.

"The pancakes are like crunchy moons, with crisps and yee in them, how about it, doesn't it taste good?" Liang Zijun asked with a smirk, poking Chen Qingyuan's bulging cheeks with his fingers.

Chen Qing slapped away the evil fingers, covered his mouth and chewed vigorously, finally swallowed, and was forced by Liang Zijun to drink a glass of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Chen Qing didn't drink much, so his face turned red after drinking a glass.Liang Zijun looked funny and tried every means to tease him to drink more.

Chen Qing had no choice but to hide in his courtyard. Brother Yang stared at his back resentfully. He really wanted to go back to the courtyard as soon as possible!

Shao Fengzhi brought a plate of moon cakes for Liang Zijun to take back to eat, and he didn't mind Chen Qing running away before finishing his work.Smiling and pointing at his forehead, he scolded, "You brothers are all tricksters!"

Liang Zijun smiled sullenly, accused his brothers and elders, and then hurried home to tease his shy new wife.

Liang Pakcang and his wife left for the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Liang family saw them off together and told them to be careful all the way and come back early after the new year.

Liang Zijun checked the presents he was going to bring, and personally escorted them out of Qingping County before riding back.After collecting the rent for more than ten days, and catching up with his parents going on a long trip, Liang Zijun obediently pretended to be a filial son at home for a few days, and when he was gone, he hurriedly asked Liao Fanzhi to have a drink with He Biting.

Liang Zijun started to stay away from home every now and then when he was free. Fortunately, he remembered that there was still a daughter-in-law at home who could flirt with him at will, so he wouldn't go away for several days like before.

Liang Zijun was not at home, and Chen Qing moved back to the woodshed. Taking advantage of the still cold weather, he collected a lot of mountain products before the frost, and brought back all the rations that the piglets would eat in half a month.
