Traveling through the Lishu to farm the fields

Half a month has passed, and five months of hard work have finally borne fruit.White cotton balls bloomed one after another in the cotton fields of every family, shining dazzling halos in the sun, enviing the group of people who did not follow Li Shu back then.Those people provoked were envious and jealous.Under Li Shu's guidance, some families have already made bibs for picking cotton. There are bibs for adults and children, and they are all made of torn clothes or rags. Use good cloth for these down field things.Some children run around the village with the bibs made by their parents and tie them on their bodies, showing off to their friends, even if they are working in the fields, they are very happy.

Some people in the village began to pick cotton one after another, and many people's small courtyards were covered with large balls of cotton, and Li Shu's house was no exception.Because Li Shu's family is the family with the largest number of acres of cotton in Fuhong Village, and it is also the earliest family. At this moment, Li Shu's yard is full of cotton on a large piece of oilcloth. All of them.

During the day, Fu Shan basically spent picking cotton in the fields. At noon, Li Shu asked Aunt Shen to help Fu Shan with water and food, because he had to look after his two children. Shan and Li Shu are close, and no one else wants it.Since the two little ones were full moon, Li Shu has started to accept the work at home, and cooking is essential.

Fu Shan was picking cotton in the field, wearing an ugly bib made by Li Shu.Although the cloth is not ugly, it is a whole piece of navy blue linen, but the stitches are ugly and shapeless, and no one can make it look good with all kinds of cloth ends.This is not to blame for Li Shu, women in the 21st century can't use needles anymore, let alone men, and the original body who is a killer can't do it either.Helpless, Fu Shan could only make do with it.Later, the bibs made by Li Shu were really not strong enough, so Fu Shan made one by himself.Shen Nai next door couldn't stand it anymore, and made two for Li Shu's family, one for him and Fu Shan.Fu Shan and Li Shu were very grateful.

On this day, many people from the village came to Li Shu's house, bringing with them thirty catties of white cotton that had been dried thoroughly.Represented by the village chief Fu Qinghe, he personally sent [-] catties of cotton to Li Shu's home and thanked Li Shu.Li Shu was also polite and accepted them all.Because this is what I deserve, I helped them make a mold maker and a mold lifter, but only charged a cost.At the same time, this is also a matter of principle. If you are too kind to others, over time others will think that is what you should do. If you stop being nice to others one day, they will be more likely to hate you. What can you do when the time comes? It is impossible to guess.Li Shu felt that he had to be careful.

The families who planted cotton after Li Shu in the village basically returned the cotton, except for Fu Nian's family.At noon, Fu Nian finally came to Fu Shan's house, with empty hands and tears in his eyes.When he came, he rushed towards the village chief Fu Qinghe, saying, "Uncle Qinghe, the cotton in my house is gone. It's gone!" He said, sobbing non-stop.

Fu Shan's family was considered the poorest in the village because of their poor family circumstances, so they didn't have the money to repair the yard. It was a piece of land that Fu Shan had helped to build in front of the house with a fence made of wooden stakes, which was considered a yard.It is not difficult for the cotton to be stolen in the yard at the moment, but everyone in the village knows each other well, so it is impossible to do such sneaky things. It must be that people from other villages reached out to the village.It was really a good idea, Li Shu's eyes became dark.

"Don't cry, kid. Come on, come on, speak slowly, you Qing and Uncle are here." Fu Qinghe said comfortingly to Fu Nian.

"I don't have any cotton to return to Li Shu now, what should I do? What should I do?" Fu Nian still couldn't calm down after hearing Fu Qinghe's words.

Li Shu came forward, put his hands on Fu Nian's shoulders, comforted Fu Nian and said, "My family does not lack your little cotton, and it doesn't matter if you lose it. Please tell the whole story carefully, and we will The thief who caught the first cotton for you!"

"I... I... This morning, my mother and I dried the cotton in the yard and went to the field to pick cotton. When we came back, we saw a piece of the fence at home fell down. Sure enough, when we entered the yard, we saw the cotton that had been dried in the yard. The cotton in the yard is gone, but the oilcloth is still there..." Fu Nian sadly recounted what happened at his home today.

Li Shu expressed his thoughts, "Uncle Qinghe, I don't think people in the village can do such things. It must be that people from other villages got the news that our village started planting cotton and got in. Good job!"

Paying off and nodding in agreement, he knew the character of the villagers, so he would definitely not be able to do this.But if it was really done by people from other villages, it is hard for him to take any action. When he was thinking about how to solve this matter, Li Shu said: "Otherwise, it will be too early. Fu Nian, you go home and talk to you." Mammy eats first and then we can talk about it. From now on, just be more careful when drying the cotton, or you can take it to the homes of those friends and let them watch you together. It doesn’t take much effort. This was stolen The cotton that fell is mine. As for the flower thief, I think Uncle Qinghe will let the villagers pay attention. Also, I am afraid that the cotton that has not been picked in the field in the future will not be safe. Get it back as soon as possible."

Pay off and Fu Nian nods yes.Afterwards, Fu Nian obediently went back, not in such a bad mood, but still thinking, when the cotton at home picked up to [-] catties, I would send it to Li Shu, although the loss of cotton this time was not only [-] catties .The village chief, Fu Qinghe, was also politely sent out by Li Shu.

Sure enough, as Li Shu guessed, the cotton fields of several families were ruined, and dozens of catties of cotton were lost.All this added up to two hundred catties of cotton, and more than one or two taels of silver, which made the villagers very anxious.The families who grow cotton are all united, and they send people to take turns guarding the cotton fields every day from dawn to dusk.Sure enough, Huangtian paid off, and finally caught the head flower thief.It was a good deed done by a family in Niuzha Village next door. This family had a bad character in Niuzha Village, and was often disliked by people in the same village.The village head, Fu Qinghe, led several strong men in the village, tied up the thieves to find the village head of Niuzha Village, searched the offender's house, and sure enough, he found a hundred catties of cotton.These cottons have not been deseed and are easy to identify.The person involved also admitted and returned the cotton in full.This matter can only be left in this way, but he still warned the man that if he dared to steal in Fuhong Village again, he would be sent to see an official.The man was too scared to move when he saw the official one day.

Those who lost cotton are also very happy to get cotton. Now they pick cotton more diligently, and they all bloom in vain. Even the peaches are picked home. At night, the family sits around the table and peels them together, afraid of being picked by others. stole it.So back and forth, the cotton is picked much faster.
