Farmhouse is so old

It was already noon when Zhou Qing woke up, and the hot sun shone straight in from the window, just in front of Zhou Qing's desk, scorching his forehead to sweat, and the heat was unbearable, so he couldn't help it. Wishing to wake up from sleep.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he didn't turn pale in shock until he saw the sky clearly, and said to himself in a hurry: "Why did I sleep until noon, oops, I overslept again." He beat his head in frustration, scolding in his heart Woke up by myself, obviously said that I would only sleep for a while, but I didn't expect to wake up late.

After he hurriedly washed up, Zhang Lan and the others were already having lunch.Seeing Zhou Qing woke up, he hurriedly added a pair of bowls and chopsticks for him.

Zhou Qing was a little embarrassed. His nephews and nieces all woke up earlier than him. How could anyone sleep till the sun in the farmhouse? Fortunately, he was in the town, otherwise he would be soured by the villagers.

Zhou Qing still hasn't gotten out of the old concept. With his family's current gimmick, even if he sleeps for three days and three nights, no one will say anything about him, and they will ask him in turn if he slept well.

Now more than half of the poor families in the entire village and even the county rely on them to support them. Anyone who says something bad in private will be sprayed to death. Besides, there is a prefect in the town to protect them. make up your mind.

In Wenshui County, since Zhou Qing and the others started collecting mountain goods, there have been a lot of hawkers setting up stalls on the street. Occasionally, one or two of them made money, and they were willing to buy snacks and toys for the children at home.Even the business of the entire Wenshui County has improved a lot.

"Nothing happened today." Zhou Qing was eating, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, there were a few people who came to sell mountain goods, and suddenly fainted after queuing up. At that time, they were terrified, and they were sent to Huichun hall immediately. , I don't know what's going on now.

Zhou Shan and Zhou He are much more mature now. Hearing his brother's question, Zhou Shan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Zhou Qing: "Nothing happened today, but there are many fewer people than before. It rained a few days ago. There are fewer wild vegetable sellers, but more fungus sellers."

After Zhou Qing listened to Zhou Shan's words, he frowned slightly, and his thick and black brows were all crooked. After thinking for a while, he remembered what Tang Qing said when he left, and slowly began: "Talk about the fungus." , the last time I asked someone to sort it out, I was so busy that I still haven’t got a clue, which resulted in a lot of slowdown.”

Zhou Qing paused for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and asked Zhou Su: "By the way, Su'er, didn't you have someone to choose last time? Why didn't you mention it again after that? Is there any difficulty?"

Zhou Qing heard what Zhou Su said at the time, it seemed that he was a little beggar who often begged around the house, and he also had a younger brother with him.I don't know how I usually get through it when I live in such a small style and sleep in the open.

Zhou Su was gnawing on a piece of pancake, and when she heard Zhou Qing's question, she put down the pancake and quickly wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and replied: "I wanted to help them because it was hard for them, but I have been I never saw them, and I never had a chance to talk to them about it."

Zhou Su was also extremely depressed, she kept paying attention, but even if Weicheng met the pair of brothers, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed for so long, making everyone even busier these days.Zhou Su bit her lower lip, the handkerchief in her hand was about to be twisted into strips, she lowered her head a little ashamed, blaming herself for talking big and making everyone happy for nothing.

"Forget it, let's see if there is anything suitable." Seeing Zhou Su like this, Zhou Qing sighed and said nothing.At the beginning, everyone mainly thought that it was not easy to have two children, and they were orphans. They thought that it would be good if they could help, and it would be easy to discipline children.

Everyone nodded in agreement, it was not difficult to find someone, but after Tang Qing left, Zhou Qing was too busy, Zhang Xing was busy running around every day, and these children didn't dare to make decisions on their own, so it was delayed until now.

"I'll see if there are any suitable candidates today." Zhou Su raised her lowered head again. After all, it is easy for her to keep accounts, and she can spare time to look at the people who come and go. There are always one or two people with so many people. suitable.

Zhou Su made up her mind in her heart that she must find a good person before tomorrow. In the afternoon, she kept looking at the people who came forward, making some people think that their goods were not satisfied with this little lady. Speaking of throat, fortunately Zhou Su just looked at him and didn't say much.

"Next." Remembering the previous one, before raising his head, he spit out this sentence from his mouth mechanically.

"Trouble, help me weigh it." Li Wen deliberately put on a pair of clean clothes today, and tidied his hair or something before going out. After passing through the fields with water, he stood between the ridges of the fields and took water for a long time to make sure of himself. In this way, Zhou Su couldn't recognize her, so she came confidently.

Zhou Su, who was engrossed in bookkeeping, felt very familiar when he heard this voice, so he hurriedly raised his head to look.

"It's you?" Zhou Su recognized Li Wen as the beggar at a glance. Although he was dressed better today than last time and his face was much cleaner, his figure and voice had long been engraved in Zhou Su's mind. In addition to what happened during the meal just now, she had been thinking about it all the time, so she recognized it all at once.

"..."

Seeing that Zhou Su had recognized Li Wen, he stood there at a loss. Unexpectedly, he was recognized even after he was like this. Embarrassment, shame and other emotions appeared on his face for a while, but he didn't dare to let Zhou Su see him Can keep his head down.

"What are you doing with your head buried like this? I won't eat you." Zhou Su glanced at him, wondering why he always buried his head, but seeing that there was still a long line behind him, He didn't dare to spend too much time with him, so he said again: "You get paid first and stand behind me later, I have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Li Wen didn't understand why Zhou Su called him to stop him, but he still heard that he did so, and after receiving his wages, he stood behind Zhou Su, not daring to move around, thinking wildly in his heart.

Is there something wrong with the last shipment?Or what did I do wrong to offend her?Regardless of whether he will be punished later, Li Wen did not choose to escape. If he did something wrong, he was willing to accept the punishment.

Fortunately, I didn't let my younger brother come with me today. It rained a few days ago, and a lot of fungus grew out these few days. I asked my younger brother to watch and dry it at home. I came alone, otherwise I would lose face in front of my younger brother. up.

"You are?" Zhou Qing just came out of the house with the account book. He needs to go back to the village now. When he came out, he saw this child in a daze. Hide, sweating profusely from the sun.

"Ah?" Li Wen was in a panic when he heard a voice echoing around him, and he was startled.

Zhou Su turned around and said to Zhou Qing when he heard the sound: "Uncle San, this is the person I mentioned last time." Can't keep up sooner.

"Oh." Zhou Qing nodded, expressing that he knew it, and he was also happy to find someone to share a little more work. Seeing this kid still standing at the door as a doorkeeper, he thought Zhou Su was too busy and hadn't come yet. And assign tasks to him, and said:

"Don't stand there stupidly, go over and help them carry it. It's better to have a cloth shed over there than you stand here to bask in the sun."

"Oh, okay." Li Wen's mind is in a mess now, he doesn't know what happened today, especially Zhou Su's sentence of "the person I talked about last time" completely disrupted his thoughts, and his mind was in a mess. After hearing Zhou Qing's order, he kept moving his hands and feet to help.

When Li Wen came to his senses, there was no way to stop, so he had to bite the bullet and keep going.

"It's pretty good." Zhou Shan Zhou He and the others were very satisfied, and their speed would be faster when one person came, and when there were few people, one person could be vacated to rest for a while, so that the three of them could take turns to rest, I don't have to be so tired anymore.

After Zhou Su finished his work, he looked up and saw that Li Wen was seriously at work. Thinking that his uncle was still here just now, maybe it was his third uncle who ordered him. What is the situation, I don't know if he is willing to come to work.

"Hey, what's your name?" Zhou Su smiled at Li Wenyan, she was too hasty just now and didn't know what his name was.

Li Wen was carrying a sack of wild vegetables, and when he heard the shout, he turned his head and saw Zhou Su's smiling face, and replied in a somewhat stammering voice, "Li... Li Wen."

"It's a good name, my name is Zhou Su." After Zhou Su knew his name, he also reported his name, and said to him: "I stopped you just now to ask if you would like to come to work with us. I will give you wages every month, including food and lodging.”

Afraid that he would disagree, Zhou Su tried to explain in detail.

"Then can I bring my brother with me?" Li Wen heard that he was recruited to work, not for anything else, his restless heart immediately settled down, and then he thought of his brother again.Of course it would be nice to have food and lodging included, their dilapidated house is okay now, but there is no way to survive in winter, but if he can't bring his younger brother, he would rather not have this job.

"Okay." Li Wen's younger brother Zhou Su had also met him. The little thin one stayed beside Li Wen quietly, and he was also very obedient. As long as he didn't make trouble, he might be able to help with some light work.

Li Wen was very excited after hearing this, and wanted to run home immediately to tell his brother the good news, but there were still a lot of mountain goods around, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and went to work in peace.

"What an idiot." Seeing that he was still working so happily, Zhou Su muttered something and lowered his head to go about his own business.After solving this matter, she felt relieved.

Zhou Qing was stopped by Liu Shikang just as he was yelling for a bullock cart to drive out of the town.

"Is there still no news about your husband?" Tang Qing has been away for more than ten days, and there is no news at all. He has been rushing to ask every day these days.

Zhou Qing was a little annoyed at being stopped by people, especially the people in the yamen. Ever since he knew about that, he felt even more uncomfortable seeing them, but thinking of what Tang Qing said, he still suppressed his anger and told Liu Shikang shook his head.

If it wasn't for the good deeds they did, my husband wouldn't have left the town so far away, and he didn't know how he was doing there now. He didn't even blame them, but they still came to him every day.
