Ye Jianqiu

It's the busiest harvest time of the year again.

The streets and alleys in Qingyang Town are deserted and there are few pedestrians.There are also many shops that temporarily close their doors to thank customers. The shopkeeper posted a notice at the door: "The owner is harvesting wheat, and the business is temporarily closed."

It was the time of the morning, with gusts of hot wind and scorching sun. Although there were still a few scattered diners who hadn't finished eating, Shishi had already started to clean up the stall slowly.

Shi Shi looked at the sparse diners at the door and sighed, as if all the people had rushed to the wheat fields to harvest them.

For the first time, he experienced the gap between the off-season and the peak season.During the peak season, every night, they happily sit by the candlelight and keep stringing money, but in the off-season, the daily running water money can’t even cover the bottom of the cabinet tightly, and the stewed broth can only be sold for half a pot at most.

He glanced at the sesame seed stall next to his restaurant. The two sesame seed stall owners held up a large oilcloth parasol and were sitting weakly on a small bench drinking cold water and eating dry food.

Due to the bad business, the stack of sesame seed cakes they made was dry and hard in the sun, and no one bought them at all, so the stall owner had to eat the "bottom of the goods" in cold water.

Shi Shi found a clay pot, scooped up a pot of hot broth and brought it over.

The man who was wearing a wide sunhat and a face covering, covering himself tightly, bowed his head guiltily when he saw Shi Shi coming to deliver the meal.The woman at the side stood up immediately, grabbed the pot of fragrant broth without any politeness, picked up the spoon and started to scoop up the thick meat, and began to eat it with big mouthfuls.

The stall owners selling sesame seed cakes are Ye Dashan and Niu Shi.

Shitou sighed, when he rushed to Bazhou Mansion to pick up Ye Dashan, it happened that the evil shopkeeper of the grain store was wearing a red wedding gown, yelling and cursing and commanding those wolf-like servants to put the old couple under arrest. Punching and kicking on the ground... There are more people watching the excitement than when there was trouble at the gate of the farm!

Shi Shi hurriedly stepped forward to salute and deal with it. After all, he had been doing business for a while, and he had developed a certain amount of courage.

Seeing that he was driving a big carriage and dressed as a shopkeeper, the other party was polite, so he told Shi Shi the reason in detail.

It turned out that Ye Dashan betrothed Er Niu to the shopkeeper of that family. When Chuichuidada carried a small sedan chair to get married, he found that she had left long ago, and the dowry gift was gone... the fat shopkeeper who had lost both money and man... He was so angry that he was about to arrest the old couple and sell them to Ren Yazi.

When Ye Dashan saw the stone coming, he seemed to see a life-saving straw. With a bruised face, he hugged Shishi's leg bitterly, crying for his father and mother, begging Shito to save him.

Shi Shi compensated the shopkeeper, and paid double the dowry money, but the other party still refused to let him go, so Shi Shi took out another letter that he had prepared in his arms.

Shitou also made preparations in advance before coming to Bazhou. He knew that it would not be so easy to take people away when he came to an unfamiliar place, so he asked Cao Wu for help.Cao Wu handed him a letter to the shopkeeper of the Cao's house in Bazhou, and the letter was stamped with the special red stamp of Mrs. Cao.In other words, if Shitou encountered any difficulties when he came to Bazhou, he could settle it with the Cao family's contact person in the Bazhou firm.

The Cao family's shop is very large, and the shopkeeper of the grain shop has heard of the Cao family's name, so after he got double the benefits, he had no choice but to accept favors.

In this way, Stone brought Ye Dashan's family back to Qingyang.

Because Ye Dashan didn't want to go back to his hometown to farm, Shitou rented a house for them, and paid for a master to teach Ye Dashan how to make sesame seed cakes, which was a way for Ye Dashan to make a living.

It's just that the old man in his 90s tossed and tossed for several months, and finally the oil lamp was almost exhausted. After Dr. Xu came to see it a few times, he quietly confessed to Shishi that it was time to prepare for the funeral.

The old man may also feel that he is not good, and when he was dying, he yelled to go back to Xitu'er Village. Since Ye Dashan refused to go back, Shi Shi had to come forward and pull the old man home. Unexpectedly, the old man went into the cave house and lay down for a long time. I swallowed...

Ye Dashan, who has always boasted of his filial piety, is reluctant to stand out at critical moments. His reason is that he has no face to go back to his hometown, and the villagers will point out and laugh at him.

Shitou tried hard to persuade him to go back to preside over the funeral, but Ye Dashan yelled that if he was forced to go back to his hometown, it would be a dead end, and Shitou might have to bury two elders!

Stone had no choice but to take care of the funeral by himself.

Because Ye Dashan still hides in the city and does not come out, all the villagers in his hometown are very shameless to Ye Dashan's behavior, especially the Erhei and Sangang masters are furious at his rebellious behavior!Even the relatives ran to Qingyang to look for Ye Dashan, but they didn't know where he hid... In the end, they had no choice but to return angrily.

The relatives of the Ye family were very annoyed, but they were also very embarrassed to face this kind of thing.

The eldest cotyledon Ye Dashan was sold by his family after all, and his face was torn apart on the farm. If his father Ye Dashan hasn't come yet, who has the face to inform him?The youngest son, Ye Shuan, was still young, at best he could only cry in sackcloth and filial piety!The other two maids are girls after all, one is married and holds a baby and wears filial piety, the other is a fugitive, and his whereabouts are unknown, and the only son-in-law in the family is this stone son-in-law...

At this most testing time, only the stone really provoked the girder.

After the old man's funeral was done, Shitou made the land of himself and Ye Dashan's family as masters, and entrusted all of them to relatives in his hometown to plant them, and the relatives who rented them could give him a certain amount of grain every year.

Li Zheng repeatedly promised that he would help take care of the farmland in his hometown.And the relatives in his hometown have repeatedly reassured Shishi to do business in the city, and the annual rent will be delivered to the door in person.As for Ye Dashan, relatives said that he would never go back, and if he dared to go back, even the second generation of the Ye family would never let him go!

No one thought that the first major event of the Ye family would be handled by the Yin family. This matter became a joke and spread all over the country. The matter of Ye Dashan was also turned upside down by the villagers from beginning to end. Someone even made up a jingle:

Wearing new clothes and hats, Ye Dashan, is not filial.

The food is good, the clothes are good, I am dead, I can't find it.

The heart knows it, the stomach knows it, it's him, afraid of being ridiculed,

I bought a horse, opened a shop, made money, and sold prostitutes.

Facing the ground, back to the sand, looking around, digging everywhere,

It turned out to be him, hiding everywhere, more cunning than a rabbit...

——Ye Dashan finally became angry.

In fact, when Ye Dashan was in full swing, he also planned to give the old man a grand burial in the future, invite the best theater troupe, the best playing and percussion class, and then entertain the villagers for free for three days, and finally invite the county The officials and gentlemen in the village come over...then he can take the opportunity to make a name for himself in the ten miles and eight villages!In fact, Ye Dashan is still secretly complaining that the old man died at an inappropriate time!

Shi Shi didn't know what Ye Dashan was thinking, and he didn't have time to figure out what Ye Dashan was thinking.

Shitou is very busy. He has to do business to earn money to pay off debts, take care of the eldest girl, wash diapers for the child, find a school for Ye Shuan, and inquire about the whereabouts of Erniu Ye...

——In the tempering of life, the stone will gradually grow into an indomitable man.

Shi Shi was the only filial son who finally cleaned the old man and put on a thin coat. When he cleaned the old man, he was surprised to find that there were several scales as big as palms growing on the old man's thighs!

He was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to touch it. The scales were shining brightly, and a few pieces fell off when he touched it lightly. He was so scared that the stone dared not make a sound, and hurriedly put the old man into the coffin...

"Stone! Let's drink two glasses!"

Shi Shi, who was immersed in memories, looked up in shock, and saw Cao Wu standing in front of him with a big wine jar under his arm, sweating profusely. I lost a lot of weight, as if I had a serious illness.

Shitou asked in surprise, "Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Let's talk less, let's have a drink with brother!"

"to make!"

After a few diners settled their bills and dispersed, Shi Shi hurriedly closed the stall, and then the two of them sat in the corner behind the tables piled up like a hill and started drinking.

Shi Shi grabbed a handful of peanuts, and Cao Wu slapped open the wine jar.

Before Shitou could sit still, Cao Wu took a sip from the wine jar, then wiped his mouth and began to cry, Shitou said at a loss, "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"

The older girl who was breastfeeding the child raised the curtain worriedly, Shitou silently shook her head at the older girl, and the older girl had to put down the curtain and retreat back to the bed.

After crying for a while, Cao Wu wiped his face fiercely and said, "Brother Wu is sorry for the farm, and I'm even more sorry for the little cook!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Wu lay down on the table and cried silently.

Shitou had never seen Cao Wu so sad before, and couldn't help but his eyes were red, he stretched out his hand and pushed Cao Wu: "Fifth brother, what is the reason for you? Tell brother, see if brother can help? "

Cao Wu raised his head, his eyes as big as copper bells were red and swollen at this time, he said sadly: "Your fifth brother, I usually regard that little cook as closer to my own mother, but the one who hurt him the most in the end, It’s actually me, Fifth Brother!”

"Fifth brother, what did you say? Brother, don't you understand?"

"Stone, fifth brother is really holding back, and something is about to go wrong. Seeing that you and the big girl are kind and honest, then fifth brother will give you his heart!"

"Yup."

"The fifth brother leaked the secrets of the farm, and the one who knew the inside story was none other than the fifth brother's old mother! Now the Cao family has also enclosed a large farm in other places, built a greenhouse to grow fruits and melons, and built a The workshop makes steel and iron... Cao's shop not only imitates the farm's goods, but mother...she has also ordered people to study those looms... you say, the little cook suddenly turned gray because of Situ Jin Well, if he knows about the farm, how can he live!"

Shitou was startled, he immediately stood up and said, "Fifth brother, don't worry, let me close the door first."

Shi Shi immediately got up to close the small door of the restaurant, only to find that Niu was looking inside.

With a bang, Shitou shut Niu out of the door unceremoniously.
