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

"Father, do you think people from the village should join our cooperative?"

Father Xue was stunned: "You mean..."

"I'm a bit undecided," Xue Yinsong nodded, "Supposedly, adding people would be beneficial to us, but we have never managed such a large stall, and we may have problems, such as troubles, such as failure to harvest. Ah, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome if this really makes a fuss."

Father Xue laughed loudly, shaking his head while laughing: "I said you are a stupid bastard, you usually look very shrewd and agile, but in fact you are a paper-skinned tiger. It is okay for outsiders. You really need someone you know well." One poke and you're going to blow air."

"cut."

Father Xue let go of the ears of wheat with a smile, and walked along the field with his hands on his back: "Can the people's congress in this village be stronger than Li Zheng? Gao Neng is higher than the patriarch? As long as Li Zheng and the patriarch join the association without spending a penny, they will Why don't you help us if you get the sweetness? These two great masters help us, what do you think this common people can do? If you think it's not enough, all the elders in the clan can join the club for free, isn't that a problem? "

Xue Yinsong was so enlightened, he patted his father on the shoulder and said in admiration: "Father, people say that ginger is old and spicy, and your old ginger will make you cry even after smelling it twice. Well, I will go find it right away." Li Zheng and the patriarch."

Father Xue said: "What's the rush, anyway, don't worry about it for a long time, just walk with me first."

"What's so interesting about this field," Xue Yinsong said grumblingly, "It's just a tassel, not yet ripe."

"Look at this moment. When the rice turns yellow, the iron board will be nailed. What else is there to see?" Hearing his son's muttering, Mr. Xue explained with a smile: "Look at the depth of the water in these two furrows. It’s not the same, the rice leaves at this water depth are also wider, it seems to be a problem with the variety, but I don’t know how the yield will be in the future. Looking at the rice fields of this family, yo...they have already started to have yellowing disease, and no one cares about it , this is contagious."

Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "Father, do you regret that I didn't inherit your farming skills?"

"I understand you, kid," Father Xue shook his head, "Since I was a child, I like to run around and be the king of children. I have a temperament that can't be settled down. This kind of land is qualitative, and it's not suitable for you. Maybe let it go." You can still make a name for yourself by running outside."

Xue Yinsong smiled and said: "Well, you have another one, hasn't Aunt Huan already appeared?" Father Xue blushed, and trembling for a while, he said: "You shameless wild boy, go back Don't talk nonsense."

"I know, I know." Xue Yinsong replied with a smile, "Yesterday I had a lot of eyesight, so I didn't ask anything."

Old man Xue became angry with embarrassment: "What are you asking, keep your mouth tight! Go! Go home!"

Xue Yinsong smiled and added: "Father, do you think you want a son or a daughter?"

Father Xue thought about it seriously and said: "It's good to have a son, you can inherit my ability. If it is really a son, I will take out my money and buy him a few acres of land."

"Father, you are too biased." Xue Yinsong complained: "Do you dare to admit that I was adopted? When I borrowed ten taels of silver back then, I had to write an IOU."

Father Xue is in a good mood: "The youngest son will naturally be favored, and you can't help but be jealous. Now that you have established your own family, you are not allowed to come back to divide the family property."

"Father, you are definitely not my real father, definitely not."

The two of them chattered away at each other, and ran into Chen Dafu as soon as they entered the village.Xue Yinsong took a glance at it from a distance, and muttered: "This time I'm back, it's really evil, I meet people everywhere I go."

Father Xue said in a low voice: "I heard that the patriarch is going to be replaced, and Chen Dafu is very likely to be the patriarch." The current patriarch of Chenjiacun has no sons, and the old patriarch will choose a new one when he leaves office. Chen Dafu is an elder , and a future candidate for patriarch.

"If you change people, just change people." Xue Yinsong didn't care at all: "Anyway, if our family's surname is not Chen, it doesn't belong to him."

"Don't underestimate the identity of the patriarch," Father Xue said earnestly: "A slobber can destroy a person, let alone a person like the patriarch who responds to everyone, let's not flatter him, at least don't offend him."

Chen Dafu showed a friendly smile from a long distance, and became more friendly when he got closer: "Hey, father and son came back from the field?"

Father Xue replied politely: "I went around the field, where is Uncle Chen going?"

Chen Dafu smiled and said: "I just came back from the outside, Xue boy looks very energetic." Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "How can he compare to Uncle Chen, his face is rosy and complex."

Chen Dafu smiled: "What are the arrangements for coming back this time?"

"Let's just go home and stay for a few days. Let's take it easy." Xue Yinsong said haha, feeling suddenly in his heart. Could it be that he is asking for some help?

"Whenever I have free time, I also come to visit the house. We are all in the same village. It's good to get close occasionally."

Father Xue hurriedly responded with a smile and then said a few more polite words. When he was gone, Xue Yinsong asked suspiciously: "During my absence, do you often come and go? Why do I feel that his attitude is so strange? You're welcome."

Father Xue was also puzzled: "I only met him a few times while walking."

Xue Yinsong thought about it and said with a smile: "Could it be that he wants to be elected as the patriarch, so he deliberately kept a low profile?"

Father Xue immediately took revenge for the incident just now: "Could it be that he still wants to find you as his son-in-law?"

"No way..." Xue Yinsong shuddered.

When the two returned home, they happened to catch up with Aunt Huan steaming the steamed buns: "Come wash your hands and eat, it won't taste good if it's cold."

Xue Yinsong loved the sauerkraut meat buns made by Aunt Huan the most, so he went to fetch water to wash his hands, and at the same time called Zha Jin and Xiao Xiucai to come out.

Father Xue was on the sidelines feeling sorry for his wife: "You said you are so heavy, what are you doing?" Aunt Huan said with a smile: "Thinking of their rare return, they steamed two baskets, and didn't do much. Besides The noodles are also kneaded by Zhajin, so I just made a meat filling."

Xue Yinsong laughed and said, "Just tell me what to do, we don't have anything else here, and the labor force is quite rich." As he spoke, he helped to pour out two baskets of buns and put them on a plate, and poured a small dish of vinegar for Xiucai.

The buns were not big, and Xiao Xiucai ate two. After a while, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat dinner, so he put down his chopsticks.Seeing this, Xue Yinsong smiled and said: "Father, I think we are all waiting for your sauerkraut and white meat, why don't you hurry up, although it's still early for dinner, we can eat slowly."

Father Xue hurriedly went to the kitchen to look at the pot. Seeing that the meat was seven points crispy, he quickly picked up the pot and sprinkled green onion on it.A smell of chives came over his nostrils, Xue Yinsong couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and went into the kitchen to grab the pot.

Father Xue rolled his eyes: "Don't you guys have any meat to eat in the city?"

Xue Yinsong said: "I've been so busy recently that I don't have time to make food. I'm really relieved now."

Old man Xue scooped out a large bowl and told him: "The oil soup does not breathe out, and it will scald the stupid son-in-law to death. You should also slow down, and carefully scald your tongue to make blisters."

The little scholar smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

Xue Yinsong couldn't care less about it, after all, he didn't need to worry about his image in his own home, so he snatched up a chopstick and blew on it, and chewed while breathing: "Yeah! It's delicious, it's delicious!"

Father Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How long has it been since you ate, Zhajin and Xiucai haven't moved their chopsticks yet, and your two folders will be gone."

Zha Jin tasted it, and his eyes lit up: "It's delicious, hot and sour, fragrant and fresh." Xue Yinsong smiled and said: "My father's improved craftsmanship is the most successful dish, come and eat it all Meat is all meat." As they spoke, each person handed over a piece of pork slices with chopsticks.

In fact, this dish has been cooked by the old man into a big miscellaneous stew, and there are thick noodles stewed in it. Xiao Xiucai took a bite and said with a smile: "This vermicelli is delicious, you all have a taste."

The three chewed according to the case, and Aunt Huan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Eat slowly, and be careful not to burn your mouth." As she spoke, she took a bun and walked to the side.

Father Xue brought out the two small dishes left over from noon, and fried bean sprouts made by himself. When he saw the three boys yelling while fishing, he laughed and cursed: "There are really no outsiders here, otherwise it would be really embarrassing."

Xue Yinsong bit a piece of sauerkraut, and replied vaguely: "This is the meal, who will come to see..."

"Uncle Xue, Uncle Xue!"

The five people looked at the voice at the same time, and saw Matchmaker Zhang standing at the entrance of the backyard with a smile: "The courtyard door is open, so I will come in directly."

Father Xue's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a daze, "Aunt Zhang, this is..."

"I'm here to spread the word that Chen Dafu has taken a fancy to your tiger and wants to recruit him as his son-in-law!"

Father Xue finished his thoughts, and he really hit the spot. He smiled and said: "Ha, is it..." Xue Yinsong didn't buy it: "We met him in the village this afternoon and didn't mention it. thing."

Matchmaker Zhang smiled and said: "My child, there has been no matchmaking since ancient times, and everything has to be facilitated by the matchmaker. I'm here to ask what your family means. If you want to, just choose an auspicious time to bring some Gifts come to propose marriage."

Xue Yinsong's face darkened: "No."

Matchmaker Zhang's face changed, and Father Xue hurriedly said, "The tiger means to wait."

Then Matchmaker Zhang laughed: "What a great thing this is, what are you waiting for, Father Xue, don't you think so? Not to mention that the Chen family has land and a house, and there are only two daughters in the family. The younger daughter will marry into the city later. Here, don't all the things in Chen Dafu's family belong to you? He is an elder in the clan, and he is a famous figure in this Chen family village, so you don't want to reject it outright."

Father Xue smiled awkwardly: "It's not that I don't want to marry this family, it's just that my tiger..."

Xue Yinsong took the words and replied mercilessly: "I already married a wife when I went to the city in spring."

Matchmaker Zhang was a little surprised: "Didn't you hear your father say it, Xue boy, don't talk nonsense about this important marriage."

"Why am I lying to you?" Xue Yinsong came up with an idea, and changed his smiling face: "It's the girl who stayed at my house the month before, and Lizheng helped her to register her household registration. The girl with big eyes is called Qu Hongxiang, you We met twice. The marriage we arranged in the city originally wanted to go back to the countryside to make up for it, but her natal family has something to do, so she went home."

Matchmaker Zhang asked in surprise: "Didn't she escape? She said her parents are gone. Where did she come from?"

Xue Yinsong hurriedly lied: "There is still an uncle, and I have already found it."

Matchmaker Zhang remembered that girl, and if she said her looks were not bad, she could only smile: "That's really unfortunate...then I'll go back and call the Chen family."

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Zhang, go slowly."

Matchmaker Zhang thought about it, then turned around and asked worriedly: "Which one is the matchmaker?"

"Hey, we're in free love."
