The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

Xue Yinsong rushed up and opened the door, only to see that the bed, mosquito net, straw mat and other things inside were already on fire, but Xiao Xiucai was not in the room!

Xue Yinsong didn't care about putting out the fire, and shouted: "Mr. Pei! Mr. Pei! Mr. Pei!" But the room was only that big, and there was no young scholar.

Xue Yinsong rushed to the gate and saw that the latch was also fastened tightly. He turned around in a hurry and ran to the backyard. He didn't want to turn a corner, but bumped into someone violently. It was the little scholar!

Regardless of the pain, Xue Yinsong stepped forward to support him and said, "Where did you go?"

Little Xiucai rubbed his buttocks and replied: "I'm going to the toilet, what did you tell me to do just now?" Xue Yinsong realized that there was a fire over there, hurriedly left him and went to the backyard to set a pulley to fetch water.

Little Xiucai panicked when he saw the fire, so he went to the stove and found a big pottery basin, scooped some water into the water tank to put out the fire.Fortunately, this was a brick house and it was summer, so there was no extra fuel except for the bed and straw mats. The two of them ran back and forth a dozen times and finally put out the fire.

Only a small part of the bed was burned. Although most of the bed boards and straw mats were burned away, it was fortunate that they were far away from other books and other objects, so the loss was not too great.It's just that the house is temporarily uninhabitable because too much water has been poured to fight the fire.

Xue Yinsong tidied up his things a little, and then dragged Xiucai to sleep in the West Room. His bed was a little smaller than that of Xiucai's room.Then he quietly moved Changhui to the other side, letting him sleep with Xiaoxiucai.

Xue Yinsong also leaned against the edge of the bed as much as possible, but the bed was small, and it was inevitable that he would meet Xiao Xiucai. He was tall and had long legs, and it was uncomfortable to curl up all the time. He was thinking about whether to hug some straw to make the floor, and Xiao Xiucai crawled Lie down next to him and said, "Changhui and I sleep inside, so that your legs can be straightened."

Both of them were a little sleepy, and soon fell asleep.

That night, the little scholar had a very strange dream. He dreamed that he was married and married a wife. He climbed up to the daughter of a wealthy businessman. He rode a horse to welcome the new daughter-in-law in. The two of them sat on the new bed after worshiping, and lifted their heads. It turned out to be Brother Xue, and he woke up immediately.

Here, Xue Yinsong got up earlier because he was too crowded. Last night, he sweated a lot and went to the well to take a shower, and then he started making breakfast for the animals.

It was the last time for the old hen to cuddle, because the egg laying time was not short, and the hair on the tail was also bald. The half-sized chickens I bought grew a little bit in the wind, but unfortunately they only had strips and no meat. They looked better than the ones I just bought. Still thin.

Because of their big size, the rabbits and piglets don't seem to have grown much, but they have a very good appetite. Xue Yinsong is also happy to feed them a few more meals, hoping that they will grow some more flesh.Only the ducks were raised by the house-watcher in front of them, and they were of similar quality. Xue Yinsong thought about it and prepared to kill one for the big and small to make up for it.

There are not too many things to do today. Apart from killing ducks, we also have to clean up the fire scene yesterday. Xue Yinsong looked at the sun and it was almost the same. He planned to go to the quarry next to the village to buy some mortar.

Walking out the door, I saw that Chen Ying's family next door was sweeping the courtyard. Yingzi's mother greeted him with a smile and thanked Chen Liang brothers. The fight made Xue Yinsong show his face in front of a small number of villagers. Now everyone knows that he is the slave of the Pei family who bought out the life-and-death contract without introducing him!

There is a small river flowing by at the head of the village, and the water is fairly clean. Although Chenjia Village is considered wealthy, not every family can afford a well. Those who don’t have a well have to come to the river to wash their clothes and fetch water for food.

In ancient times, the water of the river was quite clear, and small fishes could be seen swimming in the water. It must have rained, and the river rose a little and covered the crossing stones.

"Boy Xue! Boy Xue!" Someone from the woman doing laundry next to him suddenly called him.

Xue Yinsong took a closer look, but it was an aunt he didn't know, so he had to go over and ask, "I don't know what's the matter with auntie?" Because there were all female relatives over there, it was not convenient for him to approach, so he just stood far away and asked questions.

Wiping her hands on her apron, the aunt walked over and whispered, "How old is your Mr. Pei? The Bell family at the head of the village asked me to find out. If they are about the same age, you can exchange the horoscope."

Xue Yinsong leaned back and replied: "I'm just a servant of Pei's family. I'll go back and report this matter to Young Master Ming, and then I'll make a fuss about it, but please don't be upset."

I only heard the aunt laughing and said: "This is also what it should be, then please ask Xue boy to go home and tell Mr. Pei, and I will wait for Xue boy's message." As the two said goodbye to each other, Xue Yinsong crossed the river with his shoes and did not mention it. .

Xiao Xiucai was 16 years old, and it was also the age to talk about marriage. Xue Yinsong felt sour for some reason, gritted his teeth and crossed the river angrily.The supervisor of the mortar factory agreed with him to dry powder and wrapped it in banana leaves. Seeing his pale and ugly face, he served him a cup of hot tea.

This is the beginning, and there will be more such things in the future, Xue Yinsong reminded himself, and managed to cheer up and go home.Little Xiucai has already woken up, and is writing with Changhui in the main room after breakfast.

Seeing him coming back, the little scholar was very happy to welcome him: "Brother Xue, where did you go this morning? I can't find you anywhere." Xue Yinsong threw the banana leaf bag in his hand at the door of the east wing and said, "Go buy it." Get something to paint the house, you go to study, I will clean up the house."

The little scholar agreed, and explained with some embarrassment: "I thought about it all night, probably the candle was not set up properly. I read a book last night and saw that the wax was exhausted, so I changed a candle, and then went to the backyard to use the toilet. Steady, but it fell down and burned the mosquito net."

After hearing this, Xue Yinsong said after a long while: "This is the master's business, why bother to explain it to my servants." Xiao Xiucai was choked by him, and his face changed slightly: "You..."

Xue Yinsong stood with lowered eyebrows and said, "Just now someone asked about Mr. Pei's age. If you agree, they want to combine your birth date with your horoscope." Smiling and comforting, he said, "Brother Xue is afraid that if I marry a wife, it will be bad for you? But don't worry, even if I marry a wife, I will definitely choose an honest and kind woman, not to mention I still have Changhui. Changhui's life is not good, how can I have the face to go underground to meet my second brother in the future."

Xue Yinsong's unhappiness just now disappeared, he glanced at him and sighed in his heart, and went to the backyard silently to get a broom and dustpan.

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished early yesterday, and the east wing was not burning badly. Xue Yinsong first took the burnt beds and straw mats to the backyard to chop firewood, and then carefully swept the floor and mopped it several times.He was satisfied with it, so he went to the scholar and said, "There are young carpenters in the village, but they don't know what their skills are. I don't know if Mr. Pei would like to go to the county town to make a bed or just in the village?"

In view of Xue Yinsong's never-before-seen respectful attitude, Xiao Xiucai was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, so he thought carefully and replied: "Just settle in this village." Xue Yinsong took the order and asked him for it before leaving. A few taels of silver are said to be buying straw mats with bamboo pillows.

Hearing the door slam shut, Xiao Xiucai sat down seriously for the first time to study the reasons for Big Brother Xue's emotional changes.
