happy farming

In winter, it gets dark very early.

After Song Lin came out of the rabbit house, he habitually raised his head to look at the sky, guessing that Su Qing would soon reach the entrance of the village, so he went back to the house and put on his cotton coat to go out.

Standing in the courtyard and calling Qiu Rong a few times, there was no one there, but Su Luo came back from that madness. After seeing Song Lin, he stepped forward and called, "Brother, I'm back."

Song Lin pulled him over, patted the dust on his body slightly, and said, "Went there again? Look at your dirty body. After the spring, you will also go to school for me, saving all day and night. I know it worries me."

Su Luo pursed his lips and replied dissatisfied, "Brother, it is my brother who can make you worry all day long, not me. Also, I have said many times, I will not go to school, I I want to stay at home with Qiu Rong."

Song Lin heard his temples throbbing, glared at him, and immediately asked, "Since you want to accompany Qiu Rong, what about others? Didn't you go out together? Why didn't you come back with you?"

Su Luo shook his head, "I don't know, later he said he was going to Uncle Bai Hua's house to find Bai Dong'er, so I went to play by myself."

Hearing this, a trace of worry flashed across Song Lin's expression. Qiu Rong has always been very well-behaved. Even if he goes out to play, he will not go home after Shen Shi, but now it is almost dark, but he is still not seen. ?Could it be?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help saying to Su Luo, "I just know how to play, so hurry up and pick him up. Have you forgotten what happened last year? Let me tell you, if something happens to Qiu Rong, you should pay attention to the layer on my body." Skin."

Su Luo was taken aback for a moment, recalling that incident, he was also a little worried, but he didn't give in, and hummed, "He is more than eight years old, what else can happen. Also, big brother, you are not married. People, how can you be as verbose as those husbands." Having said that, he still hurriedly ran out of the yard and went directly to Bai Hua's house.

Song Lin frowned slightly, turned around and closed the door, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Along the way, Song Lin smiled and greeted people who he knew well on weekdays, and chatted for a few words.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already dark, and fog began to form in the air. Looking around, the surrounding area was hazy.A gust of cold wind blew by, and she shivered unconsciously, then raised her hand to her mouth and took a breath, hoping to warm it up.

At this time, there were bursts of talking voices coming from the front, and among the many voices talking, that cold voice was the most pleasant.Although they couldn't hear clearly because of the distance, Song Lin could guess that it was Su Qing who came back, and what they were talking about must be something he didn't quite understand.

As the voice became clearer, Song Lin also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. After seeing the person walking in the front, the corners of his mouth slightly raised unconsciously.

Walking in the front was a young man in a green shirt, about fourteen or fifteen years old, but with a very beautiful face, and holding a few books in his hands.

I don't know where the conversation got to, but someone beside me suddenly sighed, "It's about to take the scholar examination, and I don't know if this private school will recommend people from our village to participate?"

The young man frowned slightly, and said calmly, "On weekdays, we only need to study hard, and my husband will see it, and he will definitely not be selfish."

The other person turned his head to look at the young man after hearing this, and said with a smile, "Forget it, Su Qing, you are such an excellent gentleman, he will definitely recommend you. Hey, although I often bullied you when I was young, and you never beat me But I still have to admit that you are indeed very powerful, and Taolin Village will depend on you, so don't let us all down."

Song Lin knew this person, he was Li Chengsheng's grandson, he used to fight with Su Qing when he was young, but now he seems to be friends with Su Qing.

And that young man in green shirt is naturally Su Qing who has grown up.

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and said, "Li Le, don't mention things about my childhood, I also have many mistakes. However, I still say that, no matter who says something wrong about him, I will never give up. "

Li Le smiled understandingly, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "I understand. Go, your brother is waiting for you there."

Hearing this, Su Qing immediately raised his head and looked forward, through the hazy mist, he saw a familiar figure standing quietly.Seeing this, he no longer cared about the other people in the same group, and immediately stepped up to meet him, then took his hands that were already red with cold, and said, "Brother, it's not that it's cold, so don't come out to pick me up." Is it? You are most afraid of the cold, what should you do if you suffer from frostbite?"

Song Lin chuckled, "It's okay, it's fine at home, it's better to walk around to warm up your body."

Su Qing glanced at him, and said with a half-smile, "Warm? I think your body is almost like ice now."

Song Lin chuckled, hugged his arm tightly, and asked as he walked, "Qing'er, I seem to have heard you talking about a scholar just now? Is the exam about to start?"

"Well, it will start after the spring."

"Then how are you preparing? By the way, can you have a place this time? How about I take some money to give a gift tomorrow?"

Su Qing smiled slightly and said, "Brother, what do you think, really... I wouldn't care if it was exchanged for money. In fact, my husband has already approached me in private, and he asked me what I thought? Of course I said Good. Then he told me not to go to private school tomorrow, but to study at home by myself, and then he will send someone to tell me the news."

"Really? In that case, it's probably close to ten." Song Lin was overjoyed.

Su Qing tilted her head and smiled at him softly, "En."

Song Lin smiled stupidly, and rubbed his head happily on his arm, but Su Qing was half a head taller than him at this time, which often gave him the illusion that his baby had finally grown up.It is hard to hope that the baby will grow up, but what should the baby do when he grows up?So he began to count with his fingers for his baby, "The imperial examination is held every three years. Qing'er is over 14 years old this year. He was first a scholar, then a scholar, a tribute, and a champion... Uh, after the exams, Qing'er you They're all old men."

Su Qing was slightly taken aback, thought for a while, and replied, "The old man is not too old, but I guess he will be 19 years old. Just like this, he has reached the age when he should start a family."

19 years old, isn't Bai Xun exactly 19 years old this year?

Song Lin's heart trembled, and he murmured in a daze, "...Yeah...Getting married and starting a business...Bai Xun wrote last time saying that he would be back during the Chinese New Year, won't it be soon..."

Hearing that Su Qing lowered his eyelids, unable to see his expression clearly, he only responded in a low voice.

The two returned home with their own concerns, but Song Lin was thinking that if Bai Xun came back, Liu Qian would come with him again, and what kind of trouble would happen then?But Su Qing mistakenly thought that Song Lin was missing Bai Xun.

It's just that they never expected that when they got home, the lights in the house hadn't been lit yet, and it was still pitch black.

Song Lin frowned slightly, pushed open the courtyard door, and called Su Luo and Qiu Rong a few times.

After a while, Su Luo came out of the room slowly with a wrinkled face, and then glared at them angrily.

Song Lin saw that Su Luo was the only one who still looked like this, and he couldn't help asking a little puzzled, "What's wrong? Where's Qiu Rong?"

Su Luo snorted, "Sit in the room."

Hearing that Qiu Rong was safe in the house, Song Lin was secretly relieved, and then asked him what happened?

After Su Luo briefly explained the matter, Song Lin, who had always been defensive, immediately looked at Su Qing, as if saying, you have to give me an explanation.

Su Qing sighed innocently, but before he could speak, Song Lin snorted softly and said directly to Su Luo, "Luoer, go and bring Qiu Rong out, we're going to Li's house now, we must scold you He's bloody." After he finished speaking, he paused slightly, then turned to Su Qing and said, "Su Qing, they bullied you and Luoer before, and you put up with it for your sake. But Qiu Ronghe He has no relatives and no reason, so why should he be judged by the Li family. What is a wild child? Isn't this pointing at Sang and scolding Huai? I don't know what to do, and I'm not talking about me, hmph..."

Later, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and Song Lin revealed the past events one by one.

Su Qing didn't interrupt him, but waited for all his past events to be counted, and then said slowly, "Brother, calm down, you are Grandpa Song's grandson, not a wild child. It's just that every time you say It's all because of me, I'm not angry, really, so don't be angry either. I'll take Qiu Rong and Luo Er to Li's house now, and ask the Li family brothers to apologize to Qiu Rong." After finishing speaking, he paced back and forth He went to the stone table and put down the book in his hand, raised his hand to straighten his clothes, and called Qiu Rong.

On the other side, Song Lin calmed down a bit after scolding and crackling, and slowly glanced at him and hummed, "Forget it, it's dark today, and the road can't be seen, so what are you going to do? Besides, it's really noisy , Don’t you mean to make the villagers laugh? If the Li family continues to do this next time, then I will definitely not back down.”

Su Qing nodded and smiled, reassuring him that it won't happen in the future.

Song Lin took Qiu Rong to comfort him for a while, and then said to Su Qing, "I'm going to cook now, you can take them back to study."

Su Qing responded, and when he entered the room, he immediately put away his smile and asked Qiu Rong, "Is Qiu Rong still sad?"

Qiu Rong shook his head and said, "It's not sad. Second brother, you let us take care of elder brother, and the two boys from the Li family have been following me since they saw me coming out of Bai's house, saying that I am a wild child and that elder brother No, I quarreled with them only because I was too angry."

Su Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Well, the second brother knows that Qiu Rong is a good boy, but you should stay away from them in the future. If you come back from being bullied outside, Lin'er will be sad. Tell me about these things in the future. That's fine, don't let your elder brother know, remember?"

Su Luo snorted and shouted, "Brother!! Why are you afraid of them?"

Su Qing raised her eyebrows, patted Su Luo's head lovingly, and said, "Luoer is not afraid, you are too young to understand some things. But, I don't have to go to school tomorrow, you two want to go to the city Are you going to play?"

Without waiting for Qiu Rong to answer, Su Luo thought about it first, and then happily ran around the yard.

The next day, at dawn, Song Lin got up lightly. Su Qing read very late last night, so Song Lin didn't wake him up, and just went to work slowly.

After everything was done, he went to the back room to wake up Qiu Rong and Su Luo. When passing by the main room, he glanced at the person on the bed and saw that he was still fast asleep, so he thought about calling him again after breakfast.

Just after eating in the morning, Su Luo ran to wake up Su Qing, but Su Qing opened his eyes in a daze, then closed his eyes and said to sleep for a while, let them go out first, and then he chased after him.

Song Lin was slightly surprised when he heard this. He always felt that Su Qing was weird this morning, so he came to the bedside and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and then asked him if he felt uncomfortable there?

Unexpectedly, Su Qing wrapped herself tightly with a quilt, only showing her face outside, and then yelled that it was all right, and let them go first.

Song Lin had no choice but to take Qiu Rong and Su Luo out first.

After going out for a while, Song Lin was still worried, so he asked Qiu Rong and the others to wait at the entrance of the village, and then turned back by himself.

When he walked into the courtyard and saw that the door was still closed, he knew that Su Qing hadn't gotten up yet, and he was even more worried, so he quickly walked to the door and pushed it lightly.

Unexpectedly, this push made the two inside and outside the house extremely embarrassed.

Song Lin stood by the door blankly, his hands still pushing the door, his face already full of surprise.

Su Qing was also taken aback, staring straight at the person who suddenly appeared, not knowing what to do next.
