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

When Aunt Huan saw the tiger walking away, she turned her head and smiled and said, "You slept with me today, and the quilt and pillows just happened to be newly changed. You can go back to the county after you have dinner tomorrow morning."

When the young woman saw it, she didn't understand. She immediately knelt down and cried, "Sister, please take me in. I can chop firewood, carry water, embroider and cook. I can endure hardship. I don't need wages. I just want a bite of food. ..."

Aunt Huan hurriedly helped her up and said, "What's the matter? Why did you kneel down when you were talking well? Get up and talk."

The young woman grabbed her and cried: "My surname is Qu, and my name is Qu Hongxiang. My family opened a shop in the early years, but later my mother got sick and used up all the money, so I relied on me to sing a little song in the tea garden. My father was drunk and confused and signed a contract of selling himself, and sold me to the Sun family as a concubine. Mr. Sun is over 60. I didn't want to jump into the fire pit, so I ran out... I wanted to join my relatives, but who knew ..."

Aunt Huan understood, she looked at her sympathetically and said, "Why don't you stay at my house first, and think of a way later."

Qu Hongxiang hurriedly thanked her, kowtowed her head three times before getting up, Aunt Huan saw that the water was boiling, she went to grab dried noodles and put them in the pot, while asking: "Then where is your father?"

Qu Hongxiang shook his head: "My father went to the Sun family when he was sober, and was beaten out with sticks. He got sick and went away after a few days. I was arrested by the Sun family and locked up in the woodshed. I used the excuse to go home and make the first seven for my father, so I ran away."

After hearing this, Aunt Huan said: "Then don't worry about staying at my house. There is still a spare room in my house. I will clean it up for you tomorrow. There is no woman in my house. It would be nice if you could talk to me."

Qu Hongxiang wiped away tears, and thanked her with a busy smile. Aunt Huan saw that she was good-looking and smart, and she liked her from the bottom of her heart. She only sighed that the men in the family were unlucky and could only be treated as nieces.

Xue Yinsong was so exhausted that day, he fell asleep on the bed, and slept soundly through the night with snoring. When he woke up in the morning, he felt that his limbs were full of strength again.

Today, all the fields had to be plowed, Xue Yinsong thought in his mind that it would be fine as long as the speed was a little faster than yesterday.

Father Xue went to fetch the cows and came out to yell on the road. The two father and son walked one after the other. Xue Yinsong saw that the sky was just getting brighter, rubbed his eyes and yawned, complaining both true and false: "Father, you snored last night. It was so loud that the roof almost fell off."

Father Xue replied dissatisfied: "You're ashamed to say that you didn't snore yourself last night. I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and when I came back, you kept me awake for half the night."

"Then you go back to your own room today." Xue Yinsong took the opportunity to reply. Father Xue knew that he was disgusted, but he was not angry: "The girl should leave today? You think I want to share a bed with you?" ?”

Xue Yinsong said: "I don't know. Seeing that the two of them chatted happily yesterday, I think Aunt Huan might want to keep her for two more days."

Father Xue thought about it and smiled: "She is also a lonely person. She faces a few elders every day, and no one speaks her mind, so let's just stay with that girl for two more days."

The two walked to the ground. The calf had never been put on a plow stand before, and it couldn't stop moving left and right as soon as it was put on the plow stand.Although Maverick was reluctant, he still obediently followed.Father Xue patted the cow's neck in satisfaction: "What a beast!"

Although Father Xue is a little older, he has been working all year round and has all the strength in his body, which can be regarded as a strong laborer. In addition, it is much easier to plow the land with oxen. The two of them exchanged plows, but they plowed half an acre in one morning .

Father Xue changed his son and came down to wipe off his sweat, and said with satisfaction: "It looks like I can finish work early today. Your Aunt Huan said that you will make steamed pork to eat, and you will order some wine to drink in the evening."

During the lunch break, someone from another family saw that his family was using a calf, and they were a little bit jealous. They came to have a look and chatted up with a smile: "Papa Xue bought a cow."

Father Xue agreed happily at first, but his face turned green when he thought of the pig poisoning incident last time, and he hummed a few words, thinking in his heart whether he should stay in the cowshed overnight.

Cattle are the most valuable property in the farm family, so it's no wonder that old man Xue has thoughts in his heart. Seeing that his father's expression is not right, Xue Yinsong took the topic with a smile and said a few words, then sent him away.

Father Xue had a gloomy expression on his face, he couldn't swallow his food for a long time, and after a while he smiled wryly: "When there is no cow, I miss the cow, but when I have the cow, I am afraid of causing trouble."

Xue Yinsong smiled and said, "Isn't there a dog in the yard? Besides, this cow is no better than a pig. The cow only eats grass, so it should be fine."

Father Xue sighed, and urged after eating in two or three bites: "Eat quickly, after eating, go on."

In the afternoon, the work continued, Xue Yinsong threw away the plow halfway through the plow, and suddenly danced like a convulsion: "I know who Zhong Taigong is! I know who Zhong Taigong is!"

Father Xue stopped and stared at him: "What's wrong with you?"

Xue Yinsong spoke incoherently: "Mr. Zhong is the one who wrote the book! The one buried in the ground!" After speaking, he came back to his senses and hurriedly ran home.

Father Xue was blowing his beard and staring at the back with anger: "You son of a bitch! Come back to me! Can this land be plowed?!"

"I'll be right back!" Xue Yinsong said and ran away without a trace.

Stepping into the courtyard gate, Zha Jin was cleaning his bow and arrows in the room. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Xue, have you finished plowing so early?" Is there a contact method? For example, Feige passing a letter or something?"

Zha Jin was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "Where did I bring the pigeons, what's the matter?"

Xue Yinsong said: "I have urgent matters to find the young prince, how can I contact you?"

Zha Jin immediately stood up: "Then I'll take a trip, and I can bring you the letter in three days." Xue Yinsong nodded: "It's not too late, you set off now, and you won't write the letter. After seeing the little prince, you Just say one thing, Zhong Gongqing's tomb may be in Chenjia Village, and he will understand."

Zhajin nodded blankly and said, "Okay, then I'll set off immediately."

Xue Yinsong filled the water bag for him, and went to the kitchen to get two dry biscuits and wrapped them up: "Brother, it will take two days of hard work for you to go, the matter is important and you must bring it quickly."

Zha Jin went out and stepped on the horse, took the water sac, and said with firm eyes, "Don't worry, Brother Xue." As he said this, he clamped his legs, and the bay red horse raised its hooves and neighed, and ran out of the village.

Xue Yinsong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people walking away, thinking that Father Xue must be jumping in the field and rushing to the field in a hurry.

Sure enough, Father Xue sat on the ground with a long face. When he saw him knocking on the cigarette pot, he said: "Can it be better? It's like having a convulsion. You said that you are such a big person, why can't you..."

Xue Yinsong interrupted him with a grin, "I kept you waiting for a long time, come, drink some water to calm down."

Old man Xue took a sip from the leather water bag angrily, then glared at him again: "No more convulsions? If you want to convulse, continue to plow the field when you are done."

Xue Yinsong hurriedly picked up his father and walked towards the calf, while agreeing: "Let's plow the field quickly, aren't we going to plow all the land today?"

Two acres is not much, the father and son worked hard for two days to finish the plowing, and then they are going to plant rice seedlings.

The seedlings were bred a long time ago. Xue Yinsong looked at the two big boxes of seedlings, wiped off his sweat and asked, "Is it possible to rest for half a day tomorrow? This person is not made of iron, so he can't bear it if he does this every day."

Father Xue replied with a smile: "Okay."

Xue Yinsong looked at his father suspiciously, and sure enough, Father Xue replied: "The sun is hot these two days, if we transplant rice seedlings in the morning, we may not be able to withstand the sun, so let's go later, so that the water will be better if we raise them overnight."

Seeing his son curling his lips, Father Xue was overjoyed, stepped into the courtyard gate and shouted: "Binghuan, Binghuan!"

Aunt Huan came out from the backyard, wiped her hands with her apron, and said with a smile: "That's just right, you guys came back right after you finished cooking, go wash your hands and face, I steamed hot water on the pot."

Father Xue burst into laughter naturally, what could be more comforting than returning home after a tiring day to drink some hot water and eat some hot rice?

Xue Yinsong flushed his feet with well water, and wiped his face with his father's leftover water. He was taking off his clothes and was about to wipe the sweat off his back when he heard a female voice screaming and slamming the door.

Seeing this, Aunt Huan laughed and scolded: "Put on your clothes quickly, isn't there a female guest at home?"

Xue Yinsong changed into clean clothes, saw Qu Hongxiang leaving the kitchen blushing, and asked bluntly, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Qu Hongxiang gave him a hateful look and said, "Aunt Huan let me stay for a few more days."

Aunt Huan immediately smiled and said, "Hongxiang has no other place to go, so stay at my house for a while."

Xue Yinsong glanced at her warily: "I said something to you on the way, and you came with my family, and now you still want to hang on?"

When Qu Hongxiang heard this, she turned around with tears in her eyes and was about to run to the front yard. Aunt Huan hurriedly held her back and whispered a few words, then turned her head and said to Xue Yinsong with a fierce face: "Say less, I'm the one keeping her If you stay here, go ask your father to eat."

Xue Yinsong glared at Qu Hongxiang, then raised his voice and shouted: "Father, it's time to eat!"

"You son of a bitch, what are you doing shouting so loudly?" Aunt Huan scolded with a smile, beckoning Qu Hongxiang to sit down, while sharing food with chopsticks.

Father Xue walked into the backyard, listened to what Aunt Huan said, and replied without hesitation: "You can make up your mind about this matter."

Xue Yinsong thought that he didn't often live at home, and it would be nice to have someone to help him, but he didn't know if this girl ran away secretly, or she was really living outside, or she was cheating for food and drink, so she thought to herself Really beware of it.

After the four of them finished their meal, Aunt Huan hugged the quilt and arranged for Qu Hongxiang to live in Changhui's hut. This time, she and Xue Yinsong were at the opposite door, and they couldn't see each other when they looked up. They couldn't help staring at each other A few glances.

Aunt Huan also wondered, Xue Yinsong is not a stingy person, so why did she get into a fight with this girl, but she couldn't help comforting her: "Hongxiang, don't pay attention to that bastard, he only lives at home for a few days, wait for him to intervene." When it's done, it's gone."

Qu Hongxiang smiled and said, "Aunt Huan, don't worry, I'll save it."

"I'm not worried about you. I'm afraid that kid will be messed up. If he says something unpleasant, ignore him. He has been spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't know the severity of what he says."

Qu Hongxiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Got it, Aunt Huan." As she said, she spread the mattress and sheets. It's really a housekeeper."

Qu Hongxiangfei blushed and said with a smile, "Aunt Huan, you are making fun of me."

Aunt Huan said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is no boy in my family who is worthy, otherwise I will keep it and not let you go."

Qu Hongxiang blushed with embarrassment and said, "Besides, I really don't want to obey!"

Only then did Aunt Huan let her go, and walked out with a smile.
