leisurely farming life

"So boy, strength is not a bad thing, but it can't be regarded as the only good thing. A good knife is used on the blade, and the most important thing is to accomplish the goal with the least effort. If you don't learn, you will never know this truth. All your strength is useless."

Wang Xiaoshan left in a daze. Cheng Qing looked at his back feeling sad, and wanted to go up to comfort him, but Nian Minghe stopped him in a timely manner: "At this time, he should think about it. Blindly persuading him will only make him more confused."

Cheng Qing thought that this was right, so he gave up going forward.

On the way back, Cheng Qing still couldn't forget what happened just now, and asked curiously: "Did I really learn these from books? I think I have also studied the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, and the art of war is also involved, but I have never seen this, too. Amazing!"

"How is it possible?" Nian Minghe said in embarrassment: "The last time I annoyed Mei Yu, he tried to insult me ​​in a way. This is also a way he insulted me."

So far, the only admiration for Nian Minghe left is the lofty praise for Mei Yu.

"But..." Nian Minghe thought for a moment, "Who is that kid?"

"A kid from Wangjiacun, I like him very much."

"I can see that treating him is like treating my own child in my opinion."

Cheng Qing was silent when he heard this sentence.

Nian Minghe realized that he had said something wrong, and was about to say something to make up for it, when he heard Cheng Qing say: "Indeed, if he is my child, I think I will be the happiest father in the world, and even the happiest father in the world." Someone who loves him, unfortunately, he is not."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to stir up your sadness." Nian Minghe apologized.

Cheng Qing smiled: "It's okay, after so many years, I'm slowly getting used to it. Come back, it's almost time, it's time for lunch."

Nian Minghe looked at Cheng Qing's lonely back, and immediately thanked himself who was persistent at the beginning. If it wasn't because he insisted on thinking that Mei Yu was not dead, perhaps Cheng Qing's present is his present, and it may not even compare to Cheng Qing's chic open-minded.

Maybe he hasn't figured it out yet, otherwise having someone by his side is much better than being alone.

Nian Minghe followed Cheng Qing's footsteps and tried his best to stir up the topic, but Cheng Qing seemed no longer enthusiastic, and his speech became much more depressed.

Back home, as expected, Mei Yu was sitting on the reclining chair with a book in Cheng Qing's study, talking about it with gusto, the kitchen was also in full swing, it seemed that she planned to treat her well.

"I've said it several times, don't lie down and read in the sun, don't you lose your eyes?"

Nian Minghe took away the book Mei Yuzheng was reading, which caused Mei Yu to frown and was very dissatisfied.

"Let me see what books have fascinated Young Master Mei so much that I don't hesitate to be scolded for reading."

Cheng Qing walked up to Nian Minghe with a smile, took the book in Nian Minghe's hand, and said softly: ""Three Kingdoms"? I thought there would be a book that would attract you more! You should read this book since you were a child. Countless times, right?"

Seeing the opportunity, Mei Yu took action immediately, shot down the book in Cheng Qing's hand, and then lay down to read in the most comfortable way, and looked at Nian Minghe with threatening eyes. Nian Minghe, who was familiar with his methods, had to ignore it. For the sake of purification, I sat down on the stone chair next to me.

Cheng Qing watched the interaction between the two of them helplessly. Although he was envious in his heart, he was more happy for them.

The meal at noon is indeed rich and not many delicacies, but it is expensive because it has a variety of styles and the craftsmanship is not bad. Mei Yu and Nian Minghe have already been tired of eating inn meals in the past month. It is true that they can taste some farm dishes so easily. It is not as good as delicacies.

Seeing that they ate well, Cheng Qing was even more satisfied, and asked Xiao Yun and Nian Si to eat together. In the past, the three of them usually ate together.

But now there are guests at any rate, Xiao Yun and Nian Si didn't dare to make a fuss, they stood by and waited on them.

"No son, Nian Si and I will go to the kitchen to have some food later."

Seeing the two of them was a little embarrassed, Cheng Qing didn't say any more, and just cared about eating by himself, because the two men at the table ate very well without his greeting.

After a satisfying lunch, Nian Minghe and Mei Yu both touched their bellies and stood up. They were very happy and said, "Cheng Qing, I don't want to leave at all. Eat, drink and sleep well here. It's really a fairy life."

"Brother Nian, do you mean I'm chasing you?"

"That's not true, it's just that the two of us didn't bring enough money when we came out. I'm afraid we can't afford the money to live here."

Just joking around, Uncle Liu appeared at the door, holding a cloth bag in his hand, which seemed to contain a lot of things, and looked bulging.

Seeing Uncle Liu, Liu Niansi immediately went out, the two talked for a while, took the bag from Uncle Liu, and Uncle Liu left.

"Nian Si, why don't you let your father come in?" Cheng Qing was not unreasonable, so he naturally welcomed Uncle Liu in.

Liu Niansi walked up to Cheng Qing with a cloth bag, and said: "My father said that a few days ago, my father made my favorite candied fruit, and I didn't know if it was in compliance with the rules. If there is something else at home, he won't come in."

Cheng Qing took the cloth bag, which contained big candied fruit, deep yellow in color, and looked very delicious.

The two people beside them who had already finished their meal looked at the candied fruit, and their eyes lit up again, especially Mei Yu, before Cheng Qing could open his mouth, he reached into the bag and took one, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, exaggerating Nodding his head, he wanted to put his hand into the bag again, but Nian Minghe caught him, otherwise Mei Yu would have eaten up the bag of candied fruit.

Seeing that Mei Yu liked it so much, Cheng Qing stretched out his hand unconsciously. The candied fruit is sweet but not greasy, it tastes like eating maltose, and the best thing is that it is not sticky to the teeth, so it should not be too delicious.

Seeing Cheng Qing's expression, Liu Niansi laughed: "My father's candied fruit is famously delicious, and every year I ask him to make a lot for me to eat, as long as Brother Cheng likes it."

"It's fine if I like it?" Cheng Qing smiled and handed the bag to Nian Si: "Although your father sent it for me to eat, can I not know who it is for? Your father Xin I worked so hard to make it for you, so you can keep it for yourself, go and hide it, don't let Xiaoyun find out, or there will be nothing left!"

Mei Yu was still jumping around, Nian Minghe rarely saw such an excited Mei Yu, so he could only coax him to buy it for him when the time came.

It's not that Nian Minghe was cruel enough not to let him eat it, but candied fruit is sweet food after all. Mei Yu loves sweet food to the point that he eats it to the point where he eats his teeth. Every time he rolls on the bed in pain, he is the one who eats it the most. For him, it was Nian Minghe who suffered.

So Nian Minghe gradually kept sweets away from Mei Yu's life, and only allowed him to eat a little bit a day.

Although Mei Yu was not happy, it was okay to think of the severe toothache, but today the candied fruit made him explode.

Naturally, Liu Niansi couldn't take it, he put the candied fruit in Cheng Qing's hand, and said righteously: "This is what my father and father are filial to Brother Cheng, if I take it, my father will definitely beat me to death, I won't take it."

Before Cheng Qing could say another word, the bag in his hand ran to Mei Yu's. He was protecting the candied fruit tightly, with a vigilant expression on his face.

Nian Minghe: "..."

Cheng Qing: "..."

Nian Si: "..."

"Brother Mei, even if you are filial to me, it shouldn't be your turn, right?"

Mei Yu stood guard, not letting go of anyone who wanted the candied fruit in his hand.

"Mei Yu, return it to Cheng Qing. This is something my father prepared and gave it to him. You can't take it casually."

"It's okay, if Young Master Mei likes it, I'll ask my father to send some more, there will definitely be some at home." Nian Si hurriedly explained that he didn't care at all.

Mei Yu's eyes were brighter than candlelight.

Xiaoyun, who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, heard the noise in the front yard, and poked his head out curiously to see what happened.

"Forget it, Brother Mei can give it to him if he likes it." Cheng Qing saw Mei Yu's child side today, and I have to say that it was very enjoyable, especially when he saw Nian Minghe was still helpless.

Nian Minghe: "I can't take it, have you forgotten the toothache?"

Mei Yu didn't eat another one, but just held the bag and didn't let go.

"Eat one a day?" Nian Minghe could only bargain with the stubborn Mei Yu.

Mei Yu stretched out a hand.

"No, two are the most, no more."

Mei Yu thought for a while and nodded, so the bag of candied fruit belonged to Mei Yu.

Seeing that he really liked it, Nian Minghe curiously asked him to take one, it tasted really good.

"Let you see a joke, he is like a child sometimes."

"It's okay, it's rare to see Brother Mei like that, so I'm worth this bag of candied fruit." Cheng Qing also smiled, thinking that it would be better to send something to the Liu family later.

Mei Yu suddenly thought of something, pulled Nian Minghe's sleeve, and gestured something to him, Cheng Qing looked at the mist, but Nian Minghe could see clearly.

Nian Minghe smiled wryly, but really didn't know how to speak.

"What's wrong? What did Brother Mei say?"

Nian Minghe said in embarrassment, but not to Cheng Qing but to Liu Niansi beside him: "Young master, I want to ask, do you have any extra candied fruit at home?"

Liu Niansi waved her hands in a panic, almost on the verge of kneeling: "Yes, yes, yes."

"I asked you how to buy it? There is a young man in our family who also likes to eat these sweets. We want to buy some for him to eat. The price is negotiable. Is it convenient if I don't know?"

"I... Brother Cheng, I, no, I..." Liu Niansi was too scared to speak.

Cheng Qing laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, Mei Yu was really extraordinary.

In order to prove that he was not lying, Nian Minghe took out all the taels of silver in the wallet, and counted ten taels of silver left: "Are these enough?"

Liu Niansi looked at Cheng Qing anxiously, really panicked.

Cheng Qing accepted it bluntly, and stuffed it into Liu Niansi's hand: "Go, tell your father, let him bring another bag here."
