leisurely farming life

There are very few outsiders in Wangjia Village, Cheng'an Town.

Cheng'an Town is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Basically, every household makes a living by planting farmland, fishing and hunting in the mountains. The town has always been calm, lively but not chaotic.

Only two or three little ruffians caused troubles in the town, were arrested by the government and imprisoned for a few days, and they were subdued properly.

Wangjia Village is the innermost village in Cheng'an Town. When the road was not repaired more than ten years ago, Wangjia Village was an isolated place. After the road was repaired, people in Wangjia Village gradually came out to do business. , the life of the villagers is getting better and better.

On this day, the village was very noisy, everyone—men, women, young and old, gathered together to discuss, the newcomer Shuang'er and his younger sister.

Shuang'er is different from ordinary men, but also related to women. She has a man's body but can bear children like a woman.

However, due to their low fertility, they are not as good as women. In Liguo, where heirs are the most important thing, the status of Shuanger can be imagined.

Generally, Shuang'er who has not left the cabinet will never leave home, unless there is a natural or man-made disaster.

The villagers all discussed softly: Although the Li country encountered a catastrophe three years ago and several countries came to invade, the first eldest son and his husband repelled countless enemy troops in front of the palace, and the complete victory is not a lie trick.

In the past three years, the place that was hit hard has already regained peace and tranquility, and I have never heard of any natural disasters happening in any place, so where did this pair of children come from?So what?

No one can explain it, and no one can know whether it is a blessing or a curse?

The controversial twin son Cheng Qing is busy running around in his new home, completely unaware that Wangjiacun has fallen out because of his arrival.

Cheng Qing's new home is at the entrance of the village, the first house in the whole village.

"My lord, the donor room has been cleaned up, and the old lady can be invited in."

A well-proportioned woman said to the man who was sitting on a stone chair in the yard and looking around, still getting acquainted with the new home.

This man is the Shuang'er, Cheng Qing, who was passed down in the village.It was rumored that Cheng Qing's younger sister was actually Cheng Qing's personal servant girl, Xiaoyun.

"Okay, you clean the lobby first, I'll go to the offering room to offer my mother's spirit card."

"Yes……"

Cheng Qing held his mother's spirit tablet, walked cautiously on the bluestone road, walked to the middle room in the backyard, put the spirit tablet in his hand on the altar in the room, wiped the spirit tablet with the lapel of his clothes, and knelt down : "Mother, this will be our home from now on. You can live here happily. My son knows that Mother likes to be clean. Although this place is not as quiet as a temple, it is not a place of troubles... I have been taking you around for so long, and it is not difficult for me to live here." It can be regarded as settled down, and it is not considered to have failed my mother's expectations..."

After the mortgage was settled, Cheng Qing walked back to the lobby, wanting to do something for Xiaoyun.

"Young master, take a break if you're tired, Xiaoyun can do those jobs." Because there are only two people living here now, unlike in the town where there are people taking care of the house, those who only need to sit Cheng Qing also had to roll up his sleeves to work.

While arranging the chairs next to him, Cheng Qing said with a smile, "How can it be so expensive? I only moved a few chairs. Is this looking down on your son's strength?"

As he spoke, he took down a chair that was on the table and put it aside.But Cheng Qing, who has never worked before, is really a little bit helpless. He rubbed his waist and said to Xiaoyun: "It is not necessary to get everything done today. We have plenty of time. Let's tidy up the kitchen, lobby and sleeping room first." , It’s not too late to do something else tomorrow.”

"Hey." Xiaoyun responded, and started to work in a muffled voice.

After Cheng Qing moved the last chair, he left the lobby and stood in his yard looking around.

This house is really nice, although it is not big, but the layout is very delicate, if the front yard and backyard are well taken care of, it will definitely be a sight.

He took a deep breath, although he didn't smell anything other than the smell of soil, but he let Cheng Qing relax.

After going through all kinds of hardships, he escaped from the man-eating devil in the capital, and lived in an inn in Cheng'an Town for two years. Finally, he got a house of his own, but he was haunted by nightmares every night. .

After the Taoist priest came to the house, he didn't do anything, but said something that Cheng Qing thought was very reasonable.

He said: "Phase is born from the heart. As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night. I guess the young master may have seen too much decoration of this house and remembered all the past. The restlessness caused by resentment is not as good as relying on practice." It’s practical to change this decoration.”

Changing the decoration and layout of the whole house would be better than living in another house. Cheng Qing tried to find a paradise but found that he couldn't find it. The only peaceful place he found was this Wangjia Village.

Once he comes, he will be at peace, Cheng Qing knows very well that if he is in that noisy place, he will definitely not be at peace.

That being the case, it would be a good thing to spend the rest of my life in this remote mountain village.

"What are you thinking, sir?" Xiaoyun hugged the washbasin with dirty water, poured the water into the soil of the few young trees at home that didn't know how long they could grow, and said to Cheng Qing who was wandering in the yard.

Cheng Qing smiled: "I'm thinking about our life in the future. Xiaoyun, I just got it here today. After noon, you go to the town to buy more eggs, boil them and send them door to door with me." Well, since we want to settle down here, the relationship between neighbors must be friendly, otherwise people will say that we don't understand the rules, and the loss outweighs the gain."

"Hey, Xiaoyun got it. After I wipe the tables and chairs in the lobby clean, I'll go out."

"By the way, buy another fish and come back. I'm in a good mood today and want to drink fish soup."

"Okay, young master, just wait, Xiaoyun will cook something delicious for you tonight."

Cheng Qing patted the dust on his body contentedly, and walked around the yard again, feeling bored, so he burrowed into the kitchen. The kitchen hadn't been cleaned yet, and as soon as Cheng Qing arrived at the entrance of the kitchen, he felt that the tangy dust was going to kill him. He was submerged, he turned around very indifferently, and went to rest in the cleaned room.

For lunch, Xiaoyun didn't make any big fanfare, but just warmed up a few pancakes brought all the way from the town, and sent them to Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing loves to eat these gadgets, and he won't pay much attention to them when he encounters a normal meal, so Xiaoyun is very happy when he hears that Cheng Qing wants to drink fish soup.

Cheng Qing's belly was full after a few noodle cakes, and when spring sleepiness hit, Cheng Qing wiped his mouth and lay down on the bed to sleep, even Xiaoyun didn't answer when he came out to knock on the door.

Xiaoyun cleaned the lobby, knocked on Cheng Qing's door, and told Cheng Qing that he was going to the town, and if there was anything else he needed to bring, but without Cheng Qing's response, Xiaoyun thought he was tired and fell asleep .

So he didn't bother him any more, took the two leftover pancakes, and went to the entrance of the village to take a bullock cart to the town.

Most of the family's silver is still in Cheng Qing's hands, but for Xiaoyun's shopping or living needs, Cheng Qing gave Xiaoyun a pile of broken silver.

Cheng Qing doesn't understand the value of silver taels, but Xiaoyun will be the master of the house if he does things safely, and broken silver can be used for a long time, so most of the time Xiaoyun doesn't ask Cheng Qing for silver taels.

At the entrance of the village, Xiao Yun asked the driver who led the ox cart: "How much is the trip to the town?"

The coachman was from the village, and he was very friendly. He asked, "You alone?"

"Correct."

"That's five coppers."

Xiaoyun heard that the price was right, so he got into the car without hesitation.

Bored along the way, the coachman smiled and said, "Are you new to the village?"

"Well, I just moved here this morning."

"This morning?" The coachman thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Are you the younger sister of the new Shuang'er family?"

Xiaoyun asked suspiciously, "How do you know? You are also from the village?"

"Yes, my family is in the north of the village, and the busy farming will start in two days. Take advantage of these few days to go to town a few times, and earn some money to buy some seeds."

The coachman smiled and answered Xiaoyun's question: "Now every household in the village is talking about your family's affairs. It's not that everyone is gossiping, but they are just curious. What happened to a pair of children has reached the point where they have to find a place to live on their own..."

"What's the matter!" Xiaoyun dislikes others talking badly about their young master: "My young master is happy, who said that Shuang'er can't stand up to the family? You know that Mr. Feng is not a pair of Shuang'er, it's not like Can save the country from fire and water, as a man, you are not inferior to him?"

After hearing Xiaoyun's words, the coachman felt ashamed that Xiaoyun was eloquent, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "I know what you said, but how can Mr. Renfeng and your son be the same person?"

"So what if they're different? How can you find two people who are exactly the same in such a big country? My son does things well, but his status is different. Then my son is also a good person and a superior person, so why should he be criticized? "

"It's not gossip, it's just curiosity..." The coachman was frightened by Xiao Yun's aura, and hurriedly explained: "Someone from the village always wants to say something. As for whether to listen or not, that's yours." something happened..."

Xiaoyun glanced at the coachman and asked, "Then what did you say about my son?"

"I didn't say it. My mother taught me from a young age not to be talkative. I just listened to you and asked curiously. I haven't studied for a few years, so I don't understand what you said. I can only understand what you mean to protect."

"What your mother said is not wrong." Xiaoyun smiled lightly: "Okay, I'm just angry. Since you didn't say anything and I didn't target you, let's go on our way and don't talk too much with you."

"Uh..." The coachman held back for a while but couldn't help it: "I still have a question to ask."

"you say……"

"Those twins are obviously your sons, why did it come out that it was your elder brother?"

"Although I'm just a maid, my young master said that now we are dependent on each other, so if he treats me as a maid and wrongs me, he will say that I am his younger sister. He has already regarded me as a younger sister. But he hasn't changed his name yet."
