I rely on the words of the husband [farming]

It’s almost noon. Before dinner, Guo Li quietly touched it to see if it was still made chili rice. Zheng Cheng’an knew what he was thinking when he saw his face. He said angrily: " Go, go, it's not spicy today."

Guo Li patted his head, and smiled, "It's fine if it's not spicy,? Otherwise, he should be laughed at again, especially Old Uncle Li, who is so annoying.

The cauldron is full of vegetables. The wages paid by the Zheng family are high enough, and the food is not bad. Except for minced meat and eggs every now and then, there are fried vegetables every day.

The food is already pretty good. If you work in someone else's house, you can eat enough. Just some boiled water and pickled vegetables is enough. It's not like Zheng's. It's more oily than what they eat in their own house.

Fearing that the people in the room would not move, Zheng Chengan went in to help, but as soon as he entered, he was startled by Geng Fulang.

Geng Fulang's eyes were black and black, and his eyes were black with thick ink, and there was a piece of broken red flesh on his forehead. Although the blood had stopped, it was still scary to look at.

Zheng Cheng'an said: "Uncle, this is... what's wrong?"

Geng Fulang lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's all right."

With such a serious injury, how could he be fine, but he didn't want to talk about Zheng Chengan so he didn't ask. Anyway, with such obvious beating marks, he didn't need to think about it to know that it was old man Geng.

Geng Fulang carried the cooked rice out to serve the workers.

Each worker has two bowls, one bowl of rice and half a bowl of vegetables. The rice is full and can be served again after eating. After the meal, Mrs. Li also prepared half a pot of thinly sweet fried noodles.

Dong'er stood obediently in the corner of the kitchen room. He was always a sensible child who made people feel distressed. He never made a scene like a child of this age anytime and anywhere. Geng Fulang immediately put him on the edge of the field , he also sat obediently and watched Eminem busy, quietly and silently, just like now.

Seeing Dong'er's dark eyes open, Zheng Cheng'an's heart softened, and he called softly: "Dong'er, come here."

Hearing the sound, Dong'er's eyes moved over, her little hands softly grabbed the skirt of her clothes, a small smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she walked over with small steps: "Brother Zheng."

"Hey."

Zheng Chengan squatted down halfway, wrapped his long arms around him in his arms, lightly tapped his cheek with his index finger, soft and tender, and teased him with a smile: "Why is Dong'er so obedient?"

Dong'er grabbed half of his finger and shook it embarrassedly.

Zheng Cheng'an teased her a few more times, and Dong'er finally let go a little, revealing a soft laugh.

"That's great! If only you could be like this when you become a father." Li Shi just came in from the outside and saw this warm scene, and couldn't help joking with a smile.

Be a father?

Zheng Chengan couldn't help being in a daze. If there was a child like Dong'er, with a small three-headed body, fragrant and soft, who would obediently open his hands and call "Daddy Hug"... If you think about it this way, it seems... ...not bad.

Just as he was about to raise his head to answer a few words, he saw Lian Xing following Li Shi, his eyes lowered and his lips biting white, looking very nervous.

Zheng Cheng'an was vigilant all of a sudden, he almost forgot that Shuang'er here is difficult to conceive, and there are many people who can't have a child in their lifetime, he can't put such pressure on Lian Xing.

Besides, as a homosexual, he had long been prepared not to have offspring, and even the possibility of having children here is already rare.

Thinking this way, he said: "It's still early, let's go with fate."

Li Shi said: "It's too early, we've been married for a few months, maybe we have one now, by the way, you should pay more attention to Lian Xing's condition, you can't be careless!"

After walking a few more steps, Mrs. Li found a shadow by the door, looked up and saw Lian Xing coming in, and changed her words: "But you are really young, take your time, don't worry." He knew Shuang'er's body , not willing to put too much pressure on the young couple.

"En." Lian Xing replied silently.

Li Shi said: "By the way, have you agreed, who's house to borrow these few days?"

Zheng Cheng'an said: "Don't worry, it's all agreed, Guo Li's house has a spare room, and Lian Xing and I can stay for a few days."

The outer wall of the Zheng family and a row of houses in the inner courtyard have been built, and now only the original old house has to be demolished. According to the progress, it will be demolished and rebuilt this afternoon, but the inner courtyard cannot be moved in just after it is built. I can only borrow from other people's homes.

"That's good." Li Shi said, "It's fine for me and your father to live in Lao Geng's house. His house has a lot of space, and Qiao Yun also said that Lian Qiao can share a room with Dong'er."

All the things in the old house that could be moved out have already been moved out, except for some in the kitchen. After dinner, everyone helped to vacate the house and started smashing the walls.

The original old houses were made of clay-fired adobe bricks, and when they were smashed, the dust filled the sky, forming a thick layer of dust, and people could not be seen clearly from one or two meters away.

……

In the evening, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zheng ate the leftovers from lunch at Geng's house. They knew that Geng's family was not very rich, and they didn't want to burden them, so they deliberately made more to eat at night.

While eating the leftovers they brought, Old Man Geng poured Father Zheng a glass of wine and said, "Brother Zheng, come here, come and have a drink with me."

Father Zheng waved his hand: "No, no, I don't drink well." In fact, he can drink, but he doesn't want to drink with old man Geng. Once old man Geng drinks, he can't stop drinking, and he will go crazy when he is drunk. They got him under control, and he didn't want to get himself into trouble again.

The old man Geng didn't care about this, he put the wine glass into his hand, and said, "Come on, drink, if you don't drink, you won't give me face."

"This, you..."

The old man Geng looked at him forcefully: "Drink."

Father Zheng couldn't help but take the wine glass and dip his lips.

The old man Geng just smiled, stretched out his hand and clapped, "That's right."

As soon as he drank the wine, the old man Geng poured it into his mouth like white water, sipping the food and drinking the wine, and before he said a few words, his eyes started to blur and his tongue stuck out.

"Brother, brother, let me tell you, that is, you are a good person. My brother recognizes you as a brother. If, if you replace him with another person, even if the vegetable oil is moved back home, I, I have to move it back for him."

Father Zheng asked blankly, "What kind of vegetable oil?"

"Huh?" Old man Geng was dissatisfied, "Old man, don't pack it for me, isn't it just a few cans of oil, what are you afraid of, since this guy from my family gave it to you, I don't want it."

Zheng's father and Li's eyes immediately turned to Qiao Yun.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Qiao Yun's face, he stretched out his hand and tugged on Li Shi's sleeve, and walked towards the side room with him.

Qiao Yun hid half of his body in the shadows, and said: "Brother Li, this matter is my fault. The other day he came back and insisted on eating stir-fried vegetables, so I said there was no oil at home. When he asked why, I could only say Brother Li I had to take it because I didn’t have enough oil to cook for the workers at home, I was afraid that if I told him it was sold for money, he would use the money to go out to drink, Brother Li, I’m sorry.”

"What's the matter?" Li Shi sighed, and said softly, "Then the injury on your head..."

Qiao Yun touched it subconsciously, lowered his eyes and said, "It was he who beat him that day." It was just because he didn't get what he wanted.

Mrs. Li looked up at him, such a young child, not even a few years older than her own son, but just because of marrying into such a family, she has aged dozens of years, and looks not much younger than him.

Mrs. Li even remembered that when Qiao Yun first got married, he had a sweet smile, and whenever he made a joke, he would stomp his feet and call "Brother Li" coquettishly, with a slanting blush on his cheeks, cute and energetic.

As it is now, there is only lifelessness left. This kind of family has drained all his energy. What old man Geng drank is not wine, it is clearly Qiao Yun's blood and tears!

Looking at him, Li Shi felt very distressed, "From now on... will that be it?"

Qiao Yun smiled, and tears seemed to flow from his eyes, with a little light shining, and he said bitterly: "What can I do."

Also.

Shuang'er's life was doomed from the moment he got married. It would be fine if he had the support of his natal family, but Qiao Yun...

The old man Geng is fine today, he seems to be really happy, he drank more than usual, and he got completely drunk.

Several people took a little effort to carry him to the main room. This room is the main room with the largest space. Qiao Yun and the old man Geng lived together. Until Dong'er was born, he always cried at night. He was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, so he asked Qiao Yun to move out with the child during confinement.

At night, Qiao Yun took Dong'er to sleep in the east room. There were two beds in the east room, separated by a simple screen, and Lian Qiao slept on the other bed.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zheng slept in the side room.
