The Ugly Ger's Farming Story

"I'm leaving, you wait for me at home with peace of mind." With 50 taels of silver in his arms, Li Changfeng pulled the donkey cart out of the donkey pen and bid farewell to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing watched Li Changfeng drive away and go back to the main room, his heart was full of chaos, but when he thought of the food and meat in the space, and some medicinal materials that could be sold for money, his heart became more at ease, "You My child, it’s really coming sooner.” It would be fate if he was born in this drought-stricken year, but he and Li Changfeng would not let the child suffer or be wronged.

When Li Changfeng arrived at the end of the village, Lin Fangliang and Uncle Xie were waiting there. After Uncle Xie got into the donkey cart, he sighed, "This is really..."" He didn't leave a way for the peasants to survive.

When they put away their donkey carts and came to the only rice shop in the town, there were not many people who came here to buy grain, most of them just bought a small bag, and it seemed that no one was planning to buy big ones like Li Changfeng and the others. .

Lin Fangliang is from the town, so he has known the boss of Mihang many times. He went up and whispered to the fat boss, and then gestured to Li Changfeng and Uncle Xie while talking. Next, the boss stroked his mustache and nodded.

Then Lin Fangliang signaled Li Changfeng and Uncle Xie to follow him and the boss of Mihang to the backyard. Half an hour later, Li Changfeng came out of the Mihang. Not long after, the side door of the backyard of Mihang opened, and six donkey carts came out, and went straight to the Go outside the town.

Lin Fangliang and Uncle Xie returned to the village with six donkey carts, while Li Changfeng bought a lot of dry goods that could be stored for a long time in the grocery store, and then bought some meat and big bones at Liu Butcher's booth, and then told the other party the situation. After talking a little bit, I asked them to bring a message to Li's yard by the way. On this day, it is better to prepare some food earlier, and then drive home with a full car.

After listening to Liu Tuhu's words, he asked his wife to guard the stall, took out all his belongings, and ran to Mihang.

When Li Changfeng returned home, Xu Qing, with the help of Lin Fangliang and Uncle Xie, had already stored the grain on the four donkey carts in the cellar below the warehouse, and Lin Fangliang and Uncle Xie also went back to store their grain. Li Changfeng asked Xu Qing not to intervene, and after a few turns, he put the dry goods on the car into the cellar.

Xu Qing and Li Changfeng looked at the cellar full of food, and finally let go of half of their hearts, "Now I just hope that God can open his eyes." Li Changfeng hugged Xu Qing and said in a low voice.

But God didn't open his eyes. The fields that haven't dripped water for half a month are already drying up. This is seeing the crops in the fields dry up and die before they grow up.

Li Zheng called the villagers for a meeting. This time, all the family members went to the head of the family. Xu Qing was pregnant and the weather was hot, so Li Changfeng went by himself.

"The official of the government has already posted a notice. I'm afraid there will be a drought this year." Li Zheng said with a sullen face that the villagers almost carried the news of despair.

"How can this be done!"

"Our family depends on the harvest in the field!"

"How can we afford the food in the town!"

Uncle Xie and Li Changfeng sat next to each other, listening to the sighs of the surrounding villagers, Uncle Xie was both lucky and sad, "You still have the foresight, or else...".Li Changfeng was also not at peace.

After the meeting, Li Changfeng did not go home directly, but went to the field first, and walked through the field again, looking at the slightly withered crops in the field, Li Changfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked towards the river. It has become smaller and the banks have widened, which means that the dry season has really arrived.

Not only Lizheng of Xingfu Village held this group meeting, Anle Village and Xingfu Village were gathered by Lizheng of the village, and after saying the same thing, Old Man Li and Boss Li almost returned home with mournful faces. It's too hot, even the children in the family don't want to wander around in the courtyard.

"Father, big brother, are you back? What are you talking about?" Li Laosan sat on a stool in the main room with his legs crossed to enjoy the cool. When he saw Old Man Li and the others enter the room, he greeted lazily. Put it on the table vigorously, and the sound made even Li Laoyao and Li Xiaoge who were in the room come out.

"What are you talking about?! As early as the second child asked someone to bring back a message saying that something might happen that day, let us go to the town to buy some food earlier, but you don't agree with us to buy it! Now it's all right! All right! I see, our family will die! Just wait to be starved to death!" Old man Li was trembling with anger, why did he give birth to such a wicked animal!

Youngest Li, younger brother Li, and the third child, the eldest daughter-in-law stood aside, silent, and the children were also silent. The atmosphere at home made them instinctively feel that it is better not to be noisy, Mr. Li San thought it was a big deal, "What's the matter, didn't you say that the other day? Let's use this money to send me to the Juren exam, as long as I pass the exam," Li Laosan slapped his thigh excitedly, " That means we have everything, and we are afraid that our family will starve to death!"

Boss Li opened his mouth, "But, third child, our food is only enough for our family for two months. There is no food harvest here, and we..." Boss Li's daughter-in-law followed what Boss Li said and fell into despair. Ah, no matter how careful the budget is, there is no food, not to mention children, even adults can't stand it!

Li Laosan shook his head, "Brother, I didn't say that, just our little money, how much food do you think we can exchange in the town now?" Li Laosan was stunned, "Yes..." Li Laosan saw Boss Li looked dazed, and laughed: "It's just a month's grain, our family can't afford it, this grain price, so why don't you pin your hopes on me? I can do it next month Going to take the Juren examination, you only need to be patient for a month! Everything will be there!"

Brother Li couldn't help seeing Li Laosan's face that he was determined to win, so he interjected, "What if you don't win?!"

As soon as Li Laosan heard this, he stood up and strode in front of Li Xiaoge, staring at him fiercely, "What are you doing?!" I was stunned.

The youngest Li put his hands together in a hurry, and kept bowing to the surroundings, "You child, what are you talking about! It's unlucky! Bah, bah, bah, don't blame the passing gods, the children in the family are young, ignorant, ignorant !"

Brother Li's eyes were almost red, but he still looked at the people in front of him, "It's the truth, third brother, you have thought about us, elder brother and your child, it's a good thing that you passed the exam, but you What if you don’t pass the exam? How will our family survive?!”

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I tell you to shut up!" What Li Laosan hated the most was that he would not pass the exam. Dazed by his fame and wealth, Li Laosan directly slapped Li's brother several times, and Li's brother was knocked to the ground unprepared, his head buzzed, and he could no longer hear any sound in his ears.

"Third brother! What are you doing?!" Boss Li grabbed Li Laosan, who had gone mad and was about to go up to beat Brother Li, and slapped him hard, "You wake up , that is our direct brother!"

Li Laosan knelt on the ground, his eyes were bloodshot, struggling to get up again.Li's third daughter-in-law rushed over to hug him, and the children were scared to cry. The youngest Li asked Li's eldest wife to bring the children into the house. Brother help up.

"My brother, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." The youngest Li blew on the red and swollen face that was beaten by the third brother Li, and comforted the little brother Li. The old man supported the little brother Li, "Hurry up , get up, I'll take care of that bastard later, get up."

Brother Li only felt his uncontrollable eyes burning. He stared blankly at his father who kept opening and closing his mouth, Ah, and the eldest brother who seemed to be reprimanding the third brother, and the third brother who seemed to be crying and hugging the third brother. brother?

"Father, what?"

Brother Li made a small call, making several people in the main room look at him. Boss Li deliberately slapped Youngest Li on the head, and said to Brother Li with a smile: "Don't be afraid." , Big Brother will vent your anger on you!"

Brother Li still didn't move, but gently pushed old man Li's strong hand away, trying to help his hands up, looking at old man Li and the others with red eyes filled with tears.

"I, I can't seem to hear."

Li Changfeng thought about the meat at home, and it wouldn't last long, so he took his tools and prepared to go up the mountain to dig a few more traps, and see if he could harvest something tomorrow. Now that the dry season is coming, no one wants to come to the house The statue is gone, and being idle is idle anyway.

Xu Qing wanted to go, but his stomach was the biggest reason why he couldn't go, so he had no choice but to watch Li Changfeng leave alone, and stay at home by himself, waiting for Li Changfeng to come back.

The weather is sweltering, and I feel sleepy when I stop, and I sweat when I move. There is not much water in the well, but there is a well in the space, but it is too extravagant to use the spiritual spring to take a bath, so Xu Qing, who is bored and has nothing to do He had no choice but to lie on the recliner Li Changfeng made for him in the main room, teased Xiaobao for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

On the way Li Changfeng went up the mountain, he met many aunts digging wild vegetables with baskets on their backs outside the mountain. It was a very hot day, and the food in the town couldn’t afford it. If we don’t get more wild vegetables to go back, the family will not be able to survive the rest of the day. Yes, I just don't know how long they can dig this wild vegetable.

In order to attract bigger prey, Li Changfeng walked a little longer into the mountains, dug a trap, and made a mark. It was already dark, and Li Changfeng missed Xu Qing at home, so he didn't stop too much, so he walked Eagerly rushed home.

As a result, when Li Changfeng arrived home, except for Xiaobao who circled around him, Xu Qing was not seen or heard. The house was pitch black without any light.
