The life of farming in ancient times with a system

"Isn't this Brother Lu?" The corners of Lin Zhou's mouth twitched, not knowing what expression to make for a moment.

Lu Xuan's reputation in the village is not good, because he is the first person in the village to reconcile.It is said that the husband is incompetent and also abused Lu Xuan at home.At that time, many people advised Lu Xuan: bear with it.Lu Xuan couldn't bear it, and she resolutely wanted to reconcile.

After the reconciliation, Lu Xuan could only return to her natal home.His natal family didn't treat him well, and he didn't suffer from his hot personality.

Right now, he suddenly came to the door, which made Lin Zhou feel very uneasy.

Lu Xuan didn't see the embarrassment on his face, so she said naturally, "Won't you invite me in?"

"Of course, you come in." Lin Zhou said boldly.

Lu Xuan looked here and there as if she had entered her own home.

Lin Zhou secretly glanced at him several times, not knowing what he was doing here.

As soon as Lu Xuan turned his head, he quickly turned his face away, pretending that he didn't peek.

"Is Xu Bai trying to pull red lines for your third son recently?"

Lin Zhou said in a daze, "Yes, who did you hear it from?"

"Don't worry about who I heard it from. Let me tell you one thing. Just don't sell me. The family that Xu Bai told the third son of your family is his younger brother. It's not a smart and sharp old man. Four, but the third child who is born stupid."

Lin Zhou's complexion instantly became extremely ugly: "Our family has never done anything wrong to him, why did he harm us like this?"

"It's up to him to ask."

After speaking, Lu Xuan walked away.

As soon as Lu Xuan went out, He Caibo who was guarding outside pulled her over.

He Caibo asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"Let me tell you the truth, Lin Sanlang's aunt changed his face at that time, and he said that Xu Bai was going to harm their family. This marriage is likely to be blown up. Who would want their son to marry a fool." Lu Xuan said proudly .

He Caibo patted his chest, and smiled relaxedly: "I was guarding outside just now, and no one passed by nearby. Xu Bai is still dreaming at home, and he doesn't know that we ruined his good deed."

Lu Xuan: "That's right, we have to be more careful. He is a narrow-minded person, knowing that we have spoiled his good deeds, he may not play with us in the future."

He Caibo rolled his eyes, and said quietly: "It's us, obviously you ruined his good deed. I just came out for a walk, who knows what you said when you entered the Lin's house."

Lu Xuan pinched his face, and said with a sneer, "You just crossed the river, and you want to tear down the bridge. How about you, He Caibo. How dare you go to Xu Bai's place to inform me, and see if I don't seduce you to Lin San Publicize the matter?"

"I was just joking. Why do you take it seriously?" He Caibo smiled flatteringly.

Lin Zhou was restless and didn't do much work at home. She glanced outside the gate from time to time, apparently waiting for Lin Yue to come home.

Lin Yue appeared at the gate with a hoe on his shoulder. He quickly dropped the cloth and needlework in his hand, and rushed to meet him.

"Today, I'm going to find..."

Just as Lin Zhou was about to speak, Lin Yue stopped him with his eyes.

"Close the door." Lin Yue said.

Only then did Lin Zhou come to her senses, and obediently closed the door of the courtyard, and after entering the house, she carefully closed the door of the inner room.

Light came in through the window, and the couple sat in the darkness talking, their voices so small that only each other could hear them.

Mrs. Lin Zhou: "The third child is not willing, so I think it's okay?"

"Why forget it? With his appearance, he will never be able to find a wife for the rest of his life. The conditions of the Xu family are so good, so many people want to be the son-in-law of the Xu family. But the Xu family doesn't like any of them, but they just like her." It's his luck to be the third child. Whether he wants it or not, you can go back to Xu's house and say he is willing." Lin Yue's voice was cold and his eyes showed no affection.

"But, I heard people say that the brother Xu's family is going to marry is a fool." Lin Zhou said hesitantly.

Lin Shen didn't please him any more, but he was his own son after all, a piece of flesh that fell from his body.

"I heard? Who did you listen to?" Lin Yue raised his eyelids, and his shrewd eyes fell on Lin Zhou.

"It's that one, I forgot his name." Thinking of Lu Xuan's aggressiveness, Lin Zhou was vague.

"Then let him go, and if he is tied, he must be tied. As far as he is concerned, no one else can pick him. He has no right to pick him. Even if the brother of the Xu family is a fool, as long as the Xu family likes him He, he has to be obedient and enter the bridal chamber." Lin Yue hardened his heart.

Lin Zhou's face was in disbelief: "You don't like the third child anymore, do you have the heart for him to marry a fool?"

"I can't bear it. He spent so much money on our family. I'm still working outside at such an old age. What's the point of working so hard? We've worked so hard to raise him, and now it's time for him to repay the family." Lin Yue said.

Mrs. Lin Zhou couldn't help standing up and said: "Stupidity is inherited. An old bachelor in the next village married a fool, and the child born will also be a fool."

"Then he doesn't have to give birth. Without a smart and capable wife to take care of him, he will have endless money in his life. Isn't this a good life?" Lin Yue said.

"But, but..." Mrs. Lin Zhou still wanted to say something, but her mouth moved for a long time, but she didn't say a word of excuse.

Lin Yue put his hands on his shoulders, and stared at him with deep eyes: "We have three sons, two of whom have already married wives and had children, and only the third is left. He is our last chance to turn things around, marry a poor Daughter-in-law, our family will be poor for the rest of our lives. If we marry a rich daughter-in-law, our family will be rich from this generation. In the past, the third child sucked our blood, and now it is the third child's turn to do something for the family..."

The flower seeds that were sprinkled before have sprouted, and sporadic weeds have also grown.Lin Yue pulls weeds in the yard when he is free.

The courtyard door opened with a creak, thinking it was blown open by the wind, because the old carpenter had visited the village and half-closed the courtyard door before leaving.Lin Shen didn't care, and continued to work with his head buried.

After pulling the weeds, he also watered the flowers.The weather is too hot and the sun is too big.If you don't water it for a few days, these small flowers that have just grown will dry out and die.

"I said why I didn't see anyone standing outside, so you are hiding here." A soft voice said, with a vague smile at the end.

Lin Shen didn't know what he was laughing at, he just looked up calmly.

The man was wearing a slim robe with unnamed flowers and plants embroidered on the bottom of the robe. He had a full smile on his face, and his beautiful eyes were bent into a pair of crescent moons.

The voice is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.As for the face. . .

Lin Shen was thinking wildly, but he didn't expect that person to step in front of him, so close that he could feel the person's shallow breathing.

"We have seen it before, on a moonlit night, think about it carefully." Like a roundworm in his stomach, the man said with a smile, his bright eyes contained water, as if he was carrying a little hook.

Lin Shen frowned, subconsciously took two steps back, and opened the distance between the two of them.

He remembered that a few nights ago, he was almost trapped in the water by three women.

"I remember, it was too dark at the time, and I was so focused on going home that I didn't know who you were."

"There's me inside, I'm He Caibo. For the other two, forget it if you don't remember." He Caibo stroked his hair, and kept looking at Lin Shen with smiling eyes.

Lin Shen didn't know what he was looking at.

Just look at it, you won't lose a piece of meat if you look at it, just look at it casually.

This is the true thought in his heart.

He stood there motionless, frankly letting He Caibo watch.

After watching for a long time, He Caibo said: "I always feel that you are not the same as before, and I don't know if I am thinking too much."

Hearing this, Lin Shen thumped in his heart, thinking that He Caibo had an unusual relationship with the original owner, so he saw something

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Shen asked.

He Caibo raised a smiling face: "Of course I have something to do, and you don't buy me a cup of tea?"

"Please sit down." Lin Shen said stiffly.

There is a small table under the shade of the tree, and there is tea on the table, which was made by the old carpenter before.

Not far away is a coal stove for drying.

Considering that firewood is used for burning, the channel of the coal stove made is larger, and ash is released from the bottom of the firewood above.

When passing by, He Caibo couldn't help but take another look at this strange stove.

"Is this a stove? It looks strange."

After sitting down, He Caibo's gaze was still on the stove.

"It's for boiling water." Lin Shen didn't want to say more.

He raised his wrist and poured He Caibo a bowl of tea.

Then, he poured himself a cup too, half cold and half hot mixed together.

Lin Shen was really thirsty, he raised his neck and poured lukewarm tea into his stomach.

He Caibo narrowed his eyes, staring at his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and couldn't help licking his lower lip.

"Can you tell me?" Lin Shen said.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, and you know the situation in my family. My husband-in-law left early, and there are only my parents-in-law in the house. I rely on me to manage everything inside and out. But my family has so many fields. I can’t harvest all by myself, so I’m here to ask you to help my family harvest, because you don’t seem to have a single field.” He Caibo said.

Lin Shen glanced at him: "Is it just me?"

"Besides you, there are five or six other people. If you work quickly, it will be finished in a few days." He Caibo said.

"How do you calculate the wages?"

Lin Shen thought, since he is idle at home, he can earn some money.

"Each person gets ten copper coins a day, and takes care of three meals a day." He Caibo said.

Just as he was talking, the old carpenter came back.Seeing outsiders at home, he froze for a moment.

Lin Shen told him the situation, and He Caibo waited with a smile on his face.

The old carpenter said: "Go and go."

Only then did Lin Shen agree.

"You listen to what this old man says." He Caibo said with great interest.

"He is my master." Lin Shen looked displeased.

He Caibo drank a few sips of tea, then stood up and said, "I'm leaving. Won't you see me off?"

Lin Shen glanced at the old carpenter.

The old carpenter glared at him angrily: "The sky is bright and bright, are you afraid that he will eat you?"

"I don't eat people." He Caibo heard it, covered his mouth and laughed.

Lin Shen had no choice but to go out to see him off.

Seeing that there was no one around, He Caibo looked boldly at Lin Shen.

That goosebump feeling came back again.

Lin Shen stopped and said with a sense of distance on his face, "I'll send it here."

"Are you afraid that I will eat you? Don't worry, I really don't eat people. I was embarrassed to ask when there were outsiders in the yard just now. Now it's just the two of us. I want to ask you, what you promised me before Does it count?" He Caibo smiled and looked over with winking eyes.

"What did I promise you before?" Lin Shen was stunned and asked in a daze.

"Are you really forgetting or are you just pretending to be stupid with me?" He Caibo laughed angrily, crossing his arms and trying to smile.

"I, I don't remember." Lin Shen was not the original owner, how did he know the connection between the original owner and this He Caibo?

I heard that He Caibo is a widow, and according to the original owner's urinating nature, who knows if the original owner will have an affair with the little widow?

Please do not!

Being so frightened, Lin Shen broke out in cold sweat.

"Look at you like this, it makes people feel distressed." He Caibo stretched out his white and tender fingertips, and slowly stretched them over as if to grab Lin Shen's clothes.

Lin Shen looked like a gentleman, stepped back a few steps, avoided He Caibo's little hand, and said solemnly: "Please respect yourself."

"Self-respect?" The expression on He Caibo's face cracked, his snake-like flexible body froze, and he said with a fake smile: "You promised to be nice to me, and you also made an appointment with me. I'll wait for you at night. I’ve been with you for half a night, and you haven’t been there all this time, so you don’t have any impression of it, do you?”

Lin Shen:. . .

The original owner really knows how to play.

"Is there such a thing? I don't remember, you should forget too. You..." Halfway through the speech, He Caibo suddenly took a step forward. Lin Shen suddenly forgot what he was going to say next.

"What about me, keep talking." He Caibo's aura was so strong that Lin Shen seemed to be stymied, unable to utter a single word.

The news was too sudden.

The original owner burped, but left him such a mess.He racked his brains and couldn't think of a good excuse.Those words of refusal came out of his mouth with an inexplicably funny feeling, making him look like a scumbag.

But he can't help it, they say that there are many gossips in front of the widow, he doesn't want to give He Caibo hope, and he doesn't want to get along with He Caibo.As for the others, he didn't think too much about it.

He Caibo thought more than him, stared at his face and said: "Are you like those people who think that I should have no desires because I am a widow? Don't be ridiculous, I am also a human being. Let me tell you clearly, I like You. But I'm only greedy for your body, I don't want to marry you, and live for a long time. I'm very satisfied with my life now, and I have no intention of changing it for the time being. I'm with you just because you love me, what's your wish? God, if you said it was going to end, then it will be over, and I will never pester you."

"It's hard to find such a good thing with a lantern. You think about it carefully, and then give me a satisfactory answer."

Lin Shen wanted to answer him now, but——

He Caibo covered his lips with his tender fingers, and said softly, "What you say now doesn't count, and I won't listen to it."

"I'm leaving."

Under Lin Shen's shocked eyes, He Caibo left smiling coquettishly.Before leaving, he still gave Lin Shen a meaningful look.

Lin Shen stood for a long time, he was not looking at He Caibo's graceful back, but looking around.

Just now, he felt that someone was staring at him, or staring at them.

After He Caibo left, that person didn't leave either, but hid in the dark and peeked at him.

What are you looking at?What catches your eyes?

Lin Shen: "Who is it, come out. People are gone, I am the only one here, and you are tired from peeking for so long."

After waiting for a long time, that person did not come out.

Lin Shen didn't wait any longer, turned around and walked slowly.

I don't know how long it took, the blades of grass in one place moved a few times, the person who was peeping was gone, and the grass was overwhelmed.

"Are you okay with Widow He?" The old carpenter gave him a sideways look.

This glance made Lin Shen's muscles tense up.

"Me, what can I do with him? He asked me to help me, so I'll do it. Work honestly, and go home when you're done." Lin Shen didn't dare to look into the eyes of the old carpenter, for fear that the master would see What came out.

"Hmph, there is a story in the way he looks at you. It's not easy between you two." The old carpenter said.

Lin Shen had no choice but to smile wryly, "I can't hide anything from you."

"What's the matter?" The old carpenter smiled slyly.

"...I was hacked, and I hit the back of my head with something. When I woke up, there was a pool of blood on the ground, and there was no one around. After that day, my life was saved, but I also forgot A lot of things. I don’t remember what I had with him, but today he told me in a very affirmative tone that between me and him...” Facing the gossiping eyes of his master, Lin Shen hesitated a bit, and said in another word : "Not innocent."

The old carpenter's eyes lit up suddenly: "Why don't you know the way?"

"Voice is not innocent, I must have hooked up before, and I made an appointment to meet somewhere, etc. Physically, I am absolutely innocent. Before anything happened, something happened to me." Lin Shen wished he could raise three fingers and swear.

"Tsk tsk." The old carpenter looked regretful.

Lin Shen had black lines on his hair: "My innocence is preserved, you don't seem to be happy for me at all."

The old carpenter was angry: "Mr. is not innocent, only my brother is innocent. Your innocence is worthless, and people will laugh when they see you."

What should I do if I want to cry suddenly?

"That widow, don't think he is frivolous. He is very powerful. His father-in-law died, and he supported such a big family by himself. His father-in-law and mother-in-law were not in good health, and he did not abandon them to remarry. Back then, when his father-in-law died , Father-in-law and mother-in-law fell ill again, and he survived alone. I have said so much, so that you should not underestimate him and think he is unbearable." The old carpenter rarely said a lot.

Lin Shen paused and said, "You sound very experienced. Have you ever been with a widow before?"

"Dare you make fun of the master?" The old carpenter stood up, picked up an object and beat Lin Shen. Fortunately, Lin Shen ran fast.

In the next few days, Lin Shen built a kang.Of course, he had no experience in this area and had listened to the advice of an old carpenter.When building the house, Lin Shen considered the issue of heating in winter. Regardless of the beautiful scenery now, in winter a heavy snow will cover everything.

When building a house, Lin Shen left a gap in the middle of the wall, which is the so-called firewall.When cooking and burning fire, hot air will be vented into the wall and fire pit, and the whole house will become warm as spring.

In addition, Lin Shen built a small passage along the window.Because iron is used to make hot water pipes, and ironware is a luxury in this era, and the price is not usually expensive.He retreated and used this method to keep warm.

A hearth is far from enough for the purpose of heating. He built another table close to the hearth and connected the coal stove to the pipes so that water can be boiled when the fire is lit.

In the other few days, Lin Shen used straw and mud, and made simple square frames with wood, put mud blocks on them one by one, and then patted the tops flat. After drying, they became mud bricks.He plans to use these bricks to make a barn. The animals will be cold in winter and the sun will be too hot in summer.

When they heard that he was going to build a house for the animals, the villagers thought he was crazy.There is no place for people to live, and houses are built for animals.

This is a system requirement. If the livestock house reaches ten square meters, he will be rewarded with two sheep.Although the number is a little small, it is not difficult at all to reach ten sheep.

A few days later, the weather changed rapidly.

The breeze brings the coolness of autumn, and the rice in the paddy field has matured, and it is a gratifying golden yellow from a distance.

Lin Shen got up early, washed his face lightly, went under the window and said to the old carpenter inside: "Master, I'm leaving."

"Go ahead," said the old carpenter.

It was just dawn, and many people in the village got up.Some people may get up earlier, cook some porridge and make a few cakes, and then go to the field after eating in a hurry.Autumn is the harvest season, and the crops in the field are their own when they are received in the yard.The weather in autumn is changeable. If the harvest is slow or late, the crops will rot in the ground, and there will be nowhere to cry.

People passing by can hear the sound of splashing water or talking.

Lin Shen raised his head and glanced at the sky. It seemed that the weather was fine today. I hope everything goes well.

With a creak, the courtyard door next to it opened, and a slender figure stepped out from inside.

"Ah, you go back."

Luo Feng said to Ah Mo in the room.

"Take the kettle and remember to drink water later."

A bamboo tube was handed out tremblingly from inside.

Luo Feng took it and watched Ah Mo close the door before leaving.

After walking a few steps, he saw the tall figure in front of him.

"Lin Sanlang~!"

He shouted in surprise and joy, seeing Lin Shen stop in doubt, he quickened his pace and ran over.

"It's really you, I saw you just now, I dare not admit it." Luo Feng said happily.

"Are you going to work in the fields?" Lin Shen said after looking at his attire.

Those who go to the fields are covered tightly, and the awns on the rice will pierce the skin.Some people have sensitive skin, and the touched part will become red.Experienced people always dress like this when they go to the ground, and Luo Feng in front of him is that.

"No, my family has little land, so I collect it in a short time. I collect grain for Liang's family, ten copper coins a day, and three meals a day." Luo Feng said cheerfully.

"Oh, I collected grain for He Caibo's family, and it was also ten copper coins." Lin Shen said.

Luo Feng hesitated to speak, and held back what he wanted to say.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shen asked curiously.

"He has never hired you as a helper before, because you are a scholar, why did he suddenly ask you this time?" Luo Feng blushed so much that he almost wrote "there is something between you" on his face.

"That was in the past. I don't study now, and I need money. I don't have money when I'm idle." Lin Shen said bluntly.

"The money you give is not much. When my brother goes to help, it usually costs ten copper coins. The gentlemen only help out, at least twelve copper coins. He keeps the price too low, and you all like to suffer this loss." .” Luo Feng said.

If Luo Feng hadn't said it, Lin Shen wouldn't have known there was such a saying.However, as a modern person, he has not done much farm work, and he will definitely be clumsy when the time comes. If someone is willing to use him, he even laughs.

"Besides me, do you know who went to He's house to help like me?" Lin Shen wanted to inquire about the situation of his future colleagues.

"As far as I know, the second elder brother of the Chen family has gone, and he has never been married. Wu Dawei next door is scrambling to go, but unfortunately people look down on him. And Yang Sanlang, Liu Ya's biological father has gone. He Caibo also I found your second brother. When your second brother heard the price, he directly said that he had already found a place to help. You are much smarter than you. Listen, you are all gentlemen, and there is no brother. Our brothers do things no better than You are poor, he is also a brother himself, why not use us?" Luo Feng gave Lin Shen a sideways glance, but Lin Shen lowered his head thoughtfully, and missed his questioning eyes.

Lin Shen said honestly, "I don't know, do you know?"

Luo Feng stared at him and said: "His husband is dead, and he has been alone in the empty boudoir for many years."

"I know."

In one sentence, Luo Feng completely lost his battery.

When the Liang family arrived, he had no choice but to go in.

Lin Shen didn't know his worries. Seeing He Caibo standing at the gate of the courtyard, he knew where the He family was. Otherwise, he would have to find someone to ask, and it would be difficult to fool him.

"You got up early?" He Caibo always wanted to tease him.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there were hooks in He Caibo's eyes, and he accidentally hooked his soul away.

"It's getting late, many people have woken up." Lin Shen said.

"I saw you talking to Luo Feng, you know him quite well?" He Caibo's eyes were too sharp.

Liang's house is not far from He's house, both of them are green brick courtyards, and the house is very grand.Luo Feng gave Lin Shen a last look, but Lin Shen didn't notice it, but He Caibo saw it.Lin Shen had rejected him before, he thought Lin Shen had a good friend, and that good friend was Luo Feng, so he used words to test.

"It's not very familiar, I've spoken a few words." Lin Shen said.

He Caibo smiled faintly, and didn't know whether to believe his words or not.

He Caibo's father-in-law and mother-in-law were busy in the kitchen, and the figure of a young waiter was swaying inside.

A child with a thick head and a thick head ran out from inside, yelling "Ama, Amo" and threw himself into He Caibo's arms.

"You wait for a while, and when everyone is here, we will serve dinner immediately." He Caibo picked up the child and said.

Just as he was talking, someone came in again.

The visitor had a scar on his face, he was tall and big, and his facial features could only be regarded as correct.Lin Shen knew him. This was Chen Erniu's second son, Chen Erge, and an old bachelor in the village.

...
