leisurely farming life

"Aunt He, just went to sow some seeds, and after sowing, I plan to go home and rest, but Aunt He is going to wash clothes?"

"That's right! Go do the laundry. Is the food I gave you delicious yesterday?"

"It's delicious, thank you Aunt He." Cheng Qing thanked him very much.

Aunt He is a peasant woman, and she smiled honestly: "Thank you for what you say, we are all neighbors, if you need anything in the future, just ask me, I will definitely help."

"Hey, thank you, Aunt He."

As soon as Cheng Qing arrived at the door of his house, he heard laughter and laughter from inside the door. Listen carefully to the voice, it seems to be the little twin of Uncle Liu's family.

Uncle Liu's family happens to be a family in the middle of the village. Like other families, they make a living by farming.

But what is different from other people is that Uncle Liu married a twin son and gave birth to a twin son. Because of this, their family has been criticized by the villagers. What to say, this is a big disaster...

But Cheng Qing has a good impression of Shuang'er from Uncle Liu's family. Although he only met once, Cheng Qing can tell that the weak little Shuang'er is not the reincarnation of the so-called evil star, but a gentle and introverted child .

"What are you talking about so happy? Let me listen too." Cheng Qing smiled and pushed open the door, and sure enough, he saw a frail Shuang'er sitting on a stone chair and fiddling with the silk thread with Xiaoyun.

When Shuang'er saw Cheng Qing coming in, she stood up quickly, with her hands intertwined, looking very restrained.

Xiaoyun looked at Shuang'er's movements, walked up to him with a smile, patted his hand comfortingly, and said, "My lord, this is Liu Niansi, the twin son of Uncle Liu's family. The quilts at home seem to be a little off-line. I'll ask Nian Si to help."

"I...my name is Liu Niansi, I'm bothering you today, I..." Liu Niansi was very shy and embarrassed, as if he had done something wrong.

Cheng Qing smiled: "There's no need to bother me. My house has a big yard, so I can come whenever I want. It's okay. We just moved here, and we're not very popular. It's just in time for you to come. It's too late for me to thank you!"

"Look, let me tell you, my son is so nice, how could he dislike you for coming!" Xiaoyun pulled Liu Niansi to sit down, and said, "Come on, help me put this needle in, I just wore it for a long time, and my eyes are all numb." It’s going to be narrowed into a seam and I haven’t put it on yet..."

"Oh, good." Liu Niansi smiled at Cheng Qing, then lowered her head and started threading the needle.

"My lord, the kitchen has just made some pastries. I'll take them out for you to eat." Xiaoyun wanted to get up and go to the kitchen again, but was stopped by Cheng Qing, who was standing there watching Liu Niansi threading a needle: "I'll go by myself, you Just do things here, eh...the eye of this needle is so small, how much effort does it take to get it in?"

"The eye of this needle is small, but the thread is thinner." Liu Niansi said softly.

Cheng Qing nodded thoughtfully, and murmured: "That's the truth..."

"My lord, what are you muttering about?"

"It's nothing, I'm going to the kitchen, come on slowly, don't tie your hands..."

Cheng Qing patted the dust off his body, and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

Liu Niansi looked up at Cheng Qing's back, then lowered her head silently, but this did not escape Xiaoyun's eyes, Xiaoyun was busy with her needlework while smiling and said to Liu Niansi: "Niansi, you and I As I said, my young master is a good man, although he looks indifferent, but he is really warm-hearted, especially when dealing with Shuang Er and the girl, he is all about being good to them.

My son likes you very much, don't worry, just come to our house in the future, my son is addicted to the field now, I am alone at home, if I am bored, you can come to accompany me. "

Liu Niansi raised her head in surprise, and said still cautiously: "Sister Xiaoyun, I know that you and your young master are good people, but people's words are scary, so I won't bother you often."

"What are you talking about? I've heard a lot of rumors in the village, but I don't believe it. It's fine if you come. If you want to talk, let them talk about it. Let's just ignore it!"

Xiaoyun defended Liu Niansi, but what a good little Shuanger was said by others: "Look at you, how many dexterous hands, if I gave birth to your hands, I would be so happy!"

"Sister Xiaoyun, it's not as good as you said..." Liu Niansi lowered her head in embarrassment, but there was a tinge of joy in her heart.

"Xiao Yun, I have made too much. I can't eat it. You two can eat it." Cheng Qing took a small dish of pastries and put them on the stone table: "Eat them. I'll go and see the little saplings in the yard. I'm going to water it."

"Do you want me to help?"

"No need, you two just eat and work, and I can still do watering."

With that said, Cheng Qing went to the backyard, took a wooden bucket and started filling it with water, carried the bucket to the yard, then went to the kitchen to get a water scoop, and poured it into the ground spoon by spoon.

Cheng Qing fell happily, but Liu Niansi, who was threading the needle, looked a little uneasy. After thinking twice, he hesitated and said: "Mr. Cheng, if this water is poured down again, the young sapling will be drowned to death..."

"Huh?" Cheng Qing asked suspiciously, "Isn't it? I don't pour much?"

"I think the sapling is very clean, it should be newly planted?"

"Well, it just planted two days ago."

"The sapling has just been planted and needs to adapt to everything in the ground. So if too much water is poured on the sapling now, the sapling will not be able to adapt, and the sapling will die easily. When the sapling gradually sprouts, the tree will be considered alive. There’s also time to water it.”

Cheng Qing nodded receptively: "How do you know so much?"

Liu Niansi smiled embarrassedly: "When I was a child, I was bored at home alone, so my father gave me a small sapling for me to raise, and I will have experience in raising it."

"Then you must teach my young master more, otherwise, buying a sapling may not be enough." Xiao Yun teased.

"Don't dare, I..."

"Yes, Niansi, come to my house when you have nothing to do on weekdays. I don't know anything about these things. I really need you to help me, okay?" looked at him expectantly.

"I……"

"Nian Si, you should teach me, and you can tell me anything you want, and I will definitely promise you."

"Mr. Cheng, don't dare, I dare not..."

"What is your name, Mr. Cheng? I am a few years older than you, just call me Brother Cheng, how about it?"

Liu Niansi's eyes widened, and he looked at Cheng Qing blankly. Cheng Qing changed from his usual desolate look, and his face was full of anticipation: "How? How is it?"

"Brother Cheng..."

"So cute." Cheng Qing smiled and patted his head, pulled him up from his seat and walked to the little sapling: "Quick, what are we going to do next? You can't just wait in vain, right?"

"It's enough to dig the soil often, nothing else." Thinking of Cheng Qing's actions just now, Liu Nian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "If Brother Cheng doesn't mind, I can take care of it for you."

"that would be great!"

Since then, Liu Niansi has become a frequent visitor to Cheng Qing's house. Whenever he has time to go, he will come to Cheng's house to help, and the relationship with Cheng Qing Xiaoyun has become more and more harmonious.

At night, Xiaoyun was serving Cheng Qing to wash his feet. Cheng Qing was holding a book on agriculture and forestry by an oil lamp, reading it with gusto.

While pouring hot water on Cheng Qing's feet, Xiaoyun massaged Cheng Qing's feet in a moderate manner: "Master, you have been busy and tired these days, and you still don't have a good rest. Can you see a flower in this book?"

"There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. You can read more books if you have nothing to do. You can read the books in my study as long as you are interested." Cheng Qing only raised his head and glanced at Xiaoyun, and then Immerse yourself in a book.

"Forget it, I don't have a deep relationship with books." Xiaoyun curled his lips and said, "My lord, can Xiaoyun ask you a question?"

"go ahead."

"Although the young master is a good person that is rare in a hundred years, he is not so kind to others. Although Niansi is also a good person, he is not so good that the young master treats him like a younger brother. What does the young master like about Niansi? "

"Do I have to take a fancy to Niansi to be good to him? Your son doesn't look like a good person?" Cheng Qing patted Xiaoyun's head with a book amusedly: "I'm raising you for nothing, this white-eyed wolf, walk away , not worth mentioning!"

Xiaoyun immediately asked: "My lord, can't I be buried? Didn't I praise you in the previous sentence?"

"What are you complimenting me on?"

"A good man who is rare to see in a hundred years!"

"You are the only one who can talk." Cheng Qing smiled: "You are right, I am not a kind person. However, I am not a wicked person either. He is Shuanger, and I can help as much as I can."

Xiao Yun: "That's true, Nian Si is really pitiful, being gossiped so much by the villagers."

"You have time to pity yourself, why not pity yourself."

"What do you mean, son?"

"I think Niansi's hands are indeed a pair of skillful hands. Look at you, let's not talk about making clothes, even the simple threading of needles and threads will be unfamiliar. If you really want you to make a few clothes in the future, can you just do it to me?" Staring at those pieces of cloth?"

Speaking of this, Xiaoyun complained: "Master, you still say me? Washing, cooking, cleaning the house, and serving the son every day. I am busy every day and night. How can I have time to learn how to make clothes?"

Cheng Qing laughed and said, "Are you blaming me? Did I buy you back as a bodhisattva?"

"My lord is burying me again. I'm just complaining. My lord always says that my hands are not skillful. In fact, I'm wrong. Xiaoyun, it's just that I'm rusty. My hands are a work of art!"

"How clever is it?" Cheng Qing smiled and said, "You, it's just in this mouth! It's okay, it's uncomfortable after soaking for a long time, just wipe it dry."

"Okay." Xiaoyun hurriedly wiped Cheng Qing's feet dry with a white cloth, put his feet on the bed, stood up, and poured the dirty water outside.

Cheng Qing was lying on the bed reading a book, remembered something, and hurriedly said to Xiaoyun outside: "Xiaoyun, come in!"

Just as Xiaoyun put the barrel away, when he heard Cheng Qing's call, he hurriedly responded loudly, and hurried to the house: "What's the matter? Didn't you say you have to read the book for a while?"
