Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

Xiao Le no longer talked about carrying water, he piled up firewood obediently, and did not make a neat pile until Brother Xiao came back carrying water.

Brother Xiao was chopping firewood from the beginning to the end, and his clothes were soaked in sweat without stopping. After pouring water into the stone jar, Second Brother Xiao took off his coat and came to Brother Xiao.

"Brother, I'm coming."

Brother Xiao split the pine wood in front of him, stretched his sore arm, and handed over the sweaty handle of the axe.

Second brother Xiao went up from the current, with the same strength and speed as brother Xiao just now.

"The third one?"

Seeing Xiao Le holding the firewood and staring at Second Brother Xiao, Big Brother Xiao lifted up his clothes and wiped the sweat off his face, and looked over suspiciously.

"The eldest brother and the second brother are both very powerful," Xiao Le said sincerely, "I can't do it anymore, my small arms and legs are useless."

"It's useless," Brother Xiao replied while chopping firewood, "Don't you know martial arts?"

"My three-legged cat's kung fu," Xiao Le blushed a little, "the lightness kung fu is not bad."

Brother Xiao paused when he heard that he was pulling the stool. He looked sideways at Xiao Le, and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget what I said last night, otherwise," he pointed to the pigsty, "that place Good location."

Xiao Le shuddered, "I don't want to be chained there."

"Then be an honest person and do things in a down-to-earth manner."

Speaking of this, Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao were both a little tired.

Ever since Xiao Le was caught stealing chickens and dogs in the village several times, the village was unwilling to invite Xiao Le for funerals, happy events, or hiring someone to build a house.

If Xiao Le was seen passing by the gate of his courtyard from afar, the master would have to go back quickly to see if there was anything missing.

Generally speaking, apart from pests, what the villagers fear is Xiao Le, who is even more inhumane than pests.

"In the past few days, your second brother and I are going to Uncle Wen's place to help build the house. Be honest with me at home and follow your sister-in-law to work in the field."

Brother Xiao listened to Sister Xiao's voice from the kitchen, and said to Xiao Le while washing his hands.

"understood."

Xiao Le kept carrying the firewood back and forth, and when Brother Xiao helped bring breakfast to the table in the main room, and Sister-in-law Xiao and Fourth Sister Xiao came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks, Second Brother Xiao finished chopping the last piece of firewood.

After helping Xiao Le pile up the last firewood, he washed his face and hands, and went to the main room to have breakfast together.

And at this time the genius is bright.

However, Xiao Le didn't feel sleepy at all. He buried his head in eating steamed buns. There were pickled vegetables and boiled vegetables in the middle of the wooden table. The quantity was small but the portion was large.

"Third brother, come with me to weed on the west slope today," Mrs. Xiao said to Xiao Le after receiving Brother Xiao's gaze.

Xiao Le nodded, "Understood sister-in-law."

"Why is third brother so obedient today?"

Fourth Sister Xiao thought about Xiao Le's late return last night. Although she didn't hear how her brothers taught Xiao Le a lesson, Fourth Sister Xiao knew that Xiao Le must have been scolded, otherwise she wouldn't be so obedient.

The relationship between her and the original owner has always been mostly confrontational, but both of them are pests of the Xiao family, and it is a great fortune not to be in trouble.

Xiao Le glanced at her sideways, "Fourth sister, you'd better stay at home honestly, cook and embroider, don't run around."

The fourth younger sister Xiao, who was shocked by his eyes, put down the bowls and chopsticks pretending to be angry, and looked at Brother Xiao and the others, "Look! Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Am I talking nonsense, you know it yourself," Xiao Le wiped his mouth, took his own bowls and chopsticks, and went into the kitchen to put them away.

"What does he mean by that?"

Second Brother Xiao narrowed his eyes, stared at Fourth Sister Xiao and asked.

"How do I know?" Fourth Sister Xiao was raised by her elder brothers and sisters-in-law since she was a child, so she was naturally a bit petty.

After finishing speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and slammed it heavily, and kept his head buried in eating without raising his head again.

Brother Xiao looked at Brother Xiao, and Brother Xiao looked at Sister Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao smiled slightly.

After following Mrs. Xiao to the field, Xiao Le began to work diligently. The two of them didn't say much, only the sound of the hoe falling to the ground.

It was estimated that the time would be around seven o'clock in the morning, but Xiao Le was already working in the field.

Don't look at Mrs. Xiao who is thin, she won't raise her head to rest after working for an hour, Xiao Le straightened up and rested a few times in the middle.

"Sister-in-law, don't keep doing it, it's not good for your waist, you need to rest," Xiao Le couldn't help but said.

"It's okay, I'm not tired," Mrs. Xiao continued without raising her head.

Seeing this, Xiao Le was too embarrassed to take a break, and continued to work.

When the sun was high up, Mrs. Xiao finally took a rest. She looked at Xiao Le who was sweating on her face, and asked softly, "Third brother, what do you mean by what you said about fourth sister this morning? There is always What made you say that?"

It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest mother is like a sister-in-law. In the Xiao family, it can be said that it is very thorough.

Although the original owner stole things from the family, he was still very obedient in front of the family.

Xiao Le pursed his lips, glanced at the people working in their fields not far away, and said in a low voice.

"I told you, will sister-in-law believe me?"

"Of course," Sister Xiao nodded, "If sister-in-law doesn't believe you, why would she ask you?"

Xiao Le smiled, a little happy, and looked at her sideways. The two did not sit together. After all, there is a difference between men and women.

"Then I swear to my sister-in-law again, I will never do those bastard things again in the future!"

Sister-in-law Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled softly, "Sister-in-law believes that the third child is a smart child."

She is 15 years older than the original owner. In this time and space, many 15-year-old girls have become mothers.

Therefore, the love for the original owner and Fourth Sister Xiao is not only a brother-sister relationship, but also a bit of love for children.

Speaking of which, brother Xiao and sister-in-law Xiao have been married for so many years and have no children yet. Although it is a pity, brother Xiao has never said a word. This is one of the reasons why sister-in-law Xiao is willing to give everything for this family.

Xiao Le's cheeks turned red after being praised. He rubbed his hands and whispered, "I accidentally discovered that dead scholar in the east of the village hooked up with the fourth sister! But the fourth sister thinks that the other party is good like a demon, and listens to him in everything. Yes, it's annoying!"

These words made Mrs. Xiao both shocked and angry!

"Third brother, this is about the innocence of the fourth sister, have you read it carefully?"

"Just last night," Xiao Le pursed his mouth, "I was playing on the big banyan tree in the village, but I met them privately, and I didn't dare to go down the tree. Oh, maybe it will be said that the fourth younger sister is upside down, forcing the fourth younger sister to go and become a concubine!"

"Even if we say that he hooked up first, but Fourth Sister likes him so much, for the sake of Li Xiucai's reputation and future future, she must have helped him, so I waited for them to leave before I dared to come down. I was grabbed and scolded by the elder brother and the second brother."

These words disturbed Mrs. Xiao's heart.

"Don't be in a hurry to tell Big Brother about this," Xiao Le said again, "According to Big Brother's temper, he will definitely catch Li Xiucai and beat him up! To be honest, who doesn't want to beat Li Xiucai? That kind of situation."

"You're right," Mrs. Xiao nodded with a serious face, "I won't talk about it with your elder brother, but your second brother must know that he and you are smart people who know how to do it, so you just listen to your second brother." , and besides, don't show your secrets in front of Fourth Sister."

Xiao Le scratched his face, this seems to mean that the elder brother is not very smart?

What Sister-in-Law Xiao was most worried about was whether Fourth Sister Xiao had been foolish with Li Xiucai. Not to mention that Li Xiucai had been selected as a scholar at a young age, and he was also very handsome. It was no wonder that many girls in the village liked him.

But when Li Xiucai was a child, under the arrangement of his parents, he married the cousin of his uncle's family. If he wanted to marry into the Li family, he could only be a concubine. This concubine is not what a good girl wants to be. .

Before noon, Mrs. Xiao said, "I'll go back and have a look, you can come back later."

"Well, sister-in-law, go slowly."

Xiao Le pointed to the remaining point, "I'll go back after hoeing here."

Mrs. Xiao picked up the hoe and turned her head three times a step, "You have to come back."

"Don't worry, sister, I will be good."

Xiao Le showed a row of small white teeth, and waved violently at Mrs. Xiao.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao's heart softening, she then remembered about Fourth Sister Xiao, and hurried home at a faster pace.

Fourth Sister Xiao really plans to go out today, even if she can't meet her privately, she can get rid of her lovesickness by taking a look at her from a distance.

But in the morning Xiao Le said something that confused her, Xiao Simei was always uneasy, so she didn't dare to go out, and honestly stayed at home to cook and embroider.

She is already 16 years old this year, which is the age to discuss marriage. Xiao Simei knew that if she married Minglang as a concubine, her family would not agree.

Ever since she and Ming Lang fell in love, she has been worried all the time that her brothers will beat Ming Lang to death after they know about them.

It happened that they met last night, Ming Lang found a place so close to her home, but it scared her half to death.

Just as she was embroidering her purse with a smile, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Mrs. Xiao walked in.

"Fourth sister?"

Fourth Sister Xiao hurriedly stuffed her purse under the bed, took out the half-embroidered handkerchief, and replied as she walked out the door, "Sister-in-law."

Her face is calm, but her heart is beating like thunder. If she goes out today, she will be caught by her sister-in-law!

Mrs. Xiao put down her hoe, raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, and when she saw her come out, she came over with a smile, "How much embroidery have you done?"

Fourth Sister Xiao handed over the handkerchief, "I just picked up the needle and thread, the clothes have just been hung out, and I have washed the dishes, and I will put it in the pot after noon."

She thought her clothes were perfect, but unexpectedly Mrs. Xiao remembered that her handkerchief looked like this three days ago, but Fourth Sister Xiao was embroidering every day, so it didn't match at all.

Mrs. Xiao tried her best to calm herself down, "I'm a little tired today, so I came back a moment earlier."

"Sister-in-law is not feeling well, so let's go back to the room and rest," Xiao Simei hurriedly said, "We will have meals for the three of us around noon, and I will prepare them soon."

Aunt Xiao was upset, so she complied with her words and went back to her room.

Fourth Sister Xiao also hurried back to her room to put the purse she had hidden away, and put it away in another place before leaving her room to work in the kitchen.

Listening to the movement from the kitchen, Mrs. Xiao wiped the corners of her eyes. After all, she was brought up by herself, and now she is deceived by others, how can she not be angry!
