The Ugly Ger's Farming Story

Hearing the constant knocking on the door, Brother Li reluctantly walked to the courtyard door. When he was about to open the door, he thought about putting his head on the door and listening to the movement outside, but he didn't want to There was no sound, so I had to open the door dully.

"Why did it take you so long to open the door?"

Hearing Li Changfeng's voice, little brother Li was revived instantly! "Second brother! Second brother!" Seeing Li's excited look, Xu Qing resisted reaching out to touch his head.

Brother Li let the two of them in, and immediately closed the courtyard door. Li Changfeng noticed this and didn't say anything, but frowned a little more, "Ah, they are all busy in the field, those little babies I also went out to find other people to play, and I am alone at home, not to mention how boring it is."

Brother Li tugged on Xu Qing's sleeve and complained, Xu Qing didn't stop him, but it was strange that he could stay at home so peacefully, "You can go out for a stroll too." Brother Li shook his head sadly, " My good friends are all getting married, I can't disturb them."

Xu Qing recalled that the relationship between Chen Hong and Li Xiaogeer seemed to be good, "Where is that Chen Hong?"

Brother Li's face was almost wrinkled when he heard the words, "He is also getting married, you don't even know that he is going to marry the poorest Zhou family in our village!" Li Changfeng yelled immediately when he heard what Brother Li said. Said: "How did you talk!"

Brother Li stuck out his tongue, and immediately became obedient. Xu Qing gently pulled Li Changfeng, and Li Changfeng's face became slightly better. "Is it his own decision, or his family's decision?" Li Xiaoge thought for a while , "He decided it himself, saying that the Zhou family was literate and good to him, so he told his aunt, Chen aunt and the others agreed, so Chen Hong is also preparing to marry these days .”

Now that everything has been decided, it is inconvenient for Xu Qing to ask more questions, so Li Changfeng asked Li Changfeng to hand over the gifts for the Li family's yard to Brother Li, "These are for them, and this is for you. It’s a good house, and I have something to do at home, so I won’t stay any longer.”

Li Changfeng nodded, "Help us give it to Ah, Father, please forgive me." When Li Xiaoge heard that the two of them were about to leave, he felt a little flustered, "I'm going back now, me, me."

When Xu Qing and Li Changfeng heard Brother Li's hesitant tone, they felt that there was something wrong with it. Li Changfeng sighed, "Tell me, what's the matter at home." Brother Li also looked a little depressed, "Isn't it the third brother? .”

It turned out that Li Laosan was invited several times to teach the juniors who were about to take the scholar exam, and his scholarly spirit came out again. This was clearly and secretly revealing that he wanted to go to the exam again, but now there are fewer people in his family. Li Changfeng, there are many children, and Li Xiaoge is the age to discuss marriage, how can he spend the extra money to support this "ambitious" youngest Li!

Especially the old family's daughter-in-law was even more unhappy, he had already complained about the third son's family, unexpectedly, the third son Li would want to eat rice with a cheeky face!Of course, he could only make up a few words in his heart, and didn't dare to say them out.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Li Laosan's little brother had a quarrel with Li's boss's little brother. Work hard, no, the child didn't know the severity, grabbed a stone and threw it at the opponent, and scratched the corner of the little elder brother's eyebrow.

That's okay, a little further away is the eyes, and the eldest brother Li's daughter-in-law started arguing, "In the end, the third brother quarreled with the eldest brother." The younger brother Li paused, "The third brother also said that the original eldest brother's child Not smart, even if something is wrong, and..." What he said later was so outrageous that Brother Li couldn't even utter it.

"This is really..." Xu Qing didn't know what words to use to describe Li Laosan. After all, he was his nephew, how could he say such a thing, and he was still a scholar.

Brother Li saw that Li Changfeng was still expressionless, and he was a little uncertain what he was thinking. Just as he was about to ask Xu Qing for help, Li Changfeng said, "Don't worry about this matter, father and grandma will have something to say. Let's go first."

"Third brother..."

Brother Li never expected that Li Changfeng would go home directly after hearing this. He originally thought that the second brother would stay when he came back and heard about it. So what if you stay, you have to understand, I don't have the kind of elder brother and third brother in this family, I have my own family, a family that belongs to me and your second brother completely."

Xu Qing didn't interrupt, it's enough for Li Changfeng to speak out, and it doesn't make much sense for him to say more.

Brother Li opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say, he could only watch Xu Qing and Li Changfeng leave in the donkey cart.

"See what I do? Huh?"

Li Changfeng and the others drove back in the car. On the way, Li Changfeng felt that Xu Qing had been staring at him. Xu Qing was not embarrassed when he was caught, but asked directly, "You don't like to meddle in things over there. "

Of course Li Changfeng knew what Xu Qing meant by "over there", "I'm the one who "married" into your family, and this matter is also a matter of my "family". I don't care what I do, but I And really don’t want to.”

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, and pointed at the back of Li Changfeng's head: "The married daughter-in-law, it's not a short day, can you hurry up?"

Li Changfeng looked at the rising sun, "You're pregnant, so you can't run too fast. It's still early in the afternoon, so you're afraid you'll get sunburned? Come, take my clothes to cover you for a while." He thought about it for a while. Driving the donkey cart with one hand and pulling the clothes with the other, Xu Qing hurriedly stopped him, "Okay, okay! I can still stop it for a while, don't do such a thing!" Men are not, they are just afraid of heat stroke.

In the following days, Xu Qing and the others were both happy and sad. The happy thing is that almost every day people come to ask for the on-site carving of "wooden dolls", and most of them are asking for nanmu. This is happening every day. Income!Even if you don't do crops, you can still eat meat every day!If it makes the villagers jealous, don't want it.

What is happy is the matter of Xu Qing and Li Changfeng, what is worrying is not the matter of Xu Qing and his family, the whole village, town, or ordinary people are all worried, that is today, five or six days in a row. It's not raining anymore.

The children in the hot village went into the river to fight water, but the adults and old people had a sad look on their faces. The crops in this field are at a good time to grow, and the sun is always shining at this time. After a long time, there will be a drought. If there is a drought, the life of the farmer will be sad.

Xu Qing hid in the room to catch the cool, it was too hot, he would sweat every time he walked, these days Li Changfeng went to the ground three or four times a day, either carrying water from the river to the field, or picking it into the vegetable soil .

"Dong dong dong, is Brother Qing at home? I'm Xie Yu."

As soon as Xu Qing heard the knock on the door, Little Treasure rushed towards the gate of the courtyard energetically before he got up. He was too idle these days, even if there were too many people at home begging for the statue, Little Treasure also Unwilling to relax because of this, Xu Qing rebuked Xiaobao, and opened the already scorched courtyard door with the scorching sun on his head. Outside the door were Xie Yu and Lin Fangliang in cool clothes.

"Come on in, it's hot today."

Xu Qing pulled Xie Yu and greeted Lin Fangliang to come in. Just as he was about to close the courtyard door, Li Changfeng came back, "Second Brother Li." Lin Fangliang and the two greeted Li Changfeng, and everyone entered the main room and sat down. People pour herbal tea, while Xu Qing's is warm boiled water.

Lin Fangliang drank a few sips of herbal tea to quench his thirst, with a heavy expression on his face, "The price of food in the town has increased." As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts sank. After a long time, Li Changfeng sighed, " I hope there will be some rain as soon as possible.” Otherwise, food will become more and more expensive, farmers will have no harvest in the fields, no food to pay taxes, and no money to buy food. On that day...

"Everyone, don't think so badly. God's face changes very quickly. Who knows if it will rain tonight." Lin Fangliang felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and immediately shouted haha, wanting to ease everyone's heavy hearts.

Brother Xie shook his head, "I think we still need to make some plans. We came back this time to discuss with Ah Mo and the others, whether we should go to the town to buy some grain, but the harvest in the field is not big. At least we are taking advantage of the grain. The price of the house is not very high, so it’s always right to buy some to save.”

Xu Qing nodded, his mood became more and more heavy with the continuous scorching sun, there was rice and meat in the space, but it was not the time to take it out casually, he looked at Li Changfeng, who knew Li Changfeng He was also looking at him, "Buy, use our donkey cart to pull a few carts back, not only to buy tax grains, but also the grains we need to eat when we can harvest the crops next year!"

"Okay, let's go back and talk to Ah Mo and the others about this. We will meet at the end of the village in an hour!" Lin Fangliang and Xie Geer felt that Li Changfeng's idea was more far-sighted, so they immediately decided to go back to discuss it and meet later. .

After Lin Fangliang and the others left, Xu Qing and Li Changfeng returned to the room. Taking the opportunity of rummaging in the cabinet, Xu Qing took out their money box from the space and put the box on the bed. After Xu Qing opened it, , looking at Li Changfeng, "We used to have 130 seven taels, but these days we come to carve a lot of dolls, and earned 88 taels, a total of 220 five taels."

Li Changfeng took out 50 taels, closed the box and handed it to Xu Qing, "50 taels is enough." You must know that there is no food, and if you use silver to replace the food, it is only five taels of silver. Of course, no one can ignore it. After taking out so much in a blink of an eye, Li Changfeng would rather buy more than let Xu Qing and the child go hungry in the days when there may be no harvest.
