He Caibo was startled.

"What are you doing? It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Who told you to do it cleanly?"

Liu Shuisheng poked his neck and said, "He doesn't take money from home. I don't have such a son. It's better to kill him, so as not to look at him as an eyesore."

"You beat him just because of this? If that's the case, then I'll just say it. Don't think I'm ugly. His clothes are very torn. If you don't buy new clothes to wear, I won't let him work in He's house. Let him go home to accompany you. You don’t feel ashamed to wear such shabby clothes, but we feel ashamed. Those who don’t know think that my family has treated him badly. They didn’t even pay him his wages in time, which made him even buy clothes. I don't even have any money." He Caibo folded his arms and looked not to be trifled with.

Liu Shuisheng's face turned pale, and he was speechless for a long time.

He Caibo's eyes flickered, and he said displeasedly: "If you make trouble again, don't do it. I'll pay your wages. You take Liu Qing home with you. Don't appear in front of me in the future. I will make trouble when I see it." Heart."

Liu Shuisheng was a little panicked at this, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I won't make trouble, and I won't beat my son. He always needs to dress decently when working outside, and I won't ask him for the wages of the past few months." .”

"Really don't want it anymore?" He Caibo was afraid that his words would sound sweet on the surface, so he turned his head to trouble Liu Qing again.

"I really don't want it anymore." Liu Shuisheng was afraid that he would not be able to ask for money, and there would be no more money to ask for in the future.

He Caibo is well versed in the principle of giving a stick and a sweet date, and said: "Liu Qing has worked in the He family for many years, and has always been honest and well-behaved. Give him a wage increase, and you beat you until your nose is bruised, your face is swollen, you are sick and crooked, do I still dare to take him, dare to give him a wage increase?"

Hearing this, Liu Shuisheng burst into laughter: "No, I won't beat him in the future, as long as he works hard, you must give him a raise."

"Let's go eat." No matter how much He Caibo bothered him in his heart, he did a good job on the surface and let him go kindly.

Walking in front of Liu Qing, Liu Shuisheng said with a straight face, "I won't beat you in the future, you are honestly working for the He family, do you hear me?"

Liu Qing nodded obediently.

He Caibo: "Liu Qing, come here, I have something to tell you."

He Caibo watched from a distance, worried that Liu Shuisheng's words would irritate Liu Qing, so he hurriedly called Liu Qing over.

After walking away, He Caibo looked at his swollen half face and pale complexion, and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

"My chest hurts a bit, but my face doesn't hurt very much." Tears flickered in Liu Qing's eyes.

Over the years, He Caibo has been helping him hide it from his family, saving a little of his monthly wages so that he will not be emptied by his family.

"You too, don't even know how to hide." He Caibo said distressedly.

"I didn't react." Liu Qing said shyly.

Liu Shuisheng was afraid of being beaten, so he found a corner to stay.

Everyone is full of praise for Lin Shen.

An Ah Mo gave him a thumbs up: "That's right."

"You were so charming just now."

Lin Shen was embarrassed by the praise: "No one can bear to see the situation just now. I just did what I should do."

Feeling that someone was staring at him, he turned his face to look in that direction, and met Second Brother Chen's eyes unexpectedly.

Second Brother Chen froze for a moment, then opened his mouth stiffly, as if he wanted to say something.Someone next to him was talking to him, and he took this opportunity to avoid Lin Shen's eyes.

Lin Shen felt strange. He wondered if he was thinking too much. He always felt that Brother Chen was watching him secretly.Several times, he caught Second Brother Chen peeking at him.

Take just now as an example, when Liu Shuisheng beat Liu Qing, he clearly saw from the corner of his eye that Brother Chen also stood up, and he looked like he was about to rush over to hit someone with his fists pumped.But when he stood up, Brother Chen hesitated for a moment, then seemed to sit back slowly.

What is certain is that if he hadn't stood up just now, the one who stood up would be Second Brother Chen.

After a short rest, they started busy again.

The harvest is a joy, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces.

Liu Shuisheng seemed to be getting awkward by Brother Chen, and the two of them did not disturb each other.All afternoon, Liu Shuisheng didn't say a word, almost suffocating him to death.

Before dusk, they finished harvesting the rice.

The next thing is easy, put the bundled rice on the donkey cart, and transport it back to the threshing ground one by one.After the donkey cart left, they sat on the ridge to rest.

Dinner was still at He Caibo's house.

On the long table was a large pot of cooked meat and a large pot of fried vegetables.

All the dishes are served in big pots, even the soup pots are also big pots.

Everyone was tired, not in the mood to talk, and sat and ate in silence.

Lin Shen missed the old carpenter at home, so he filled his stomach with food.After that, he found He Caibo and said, "I'm going back, is it still this time tomorrow?"

He Caibo looked at him in surprise: "You're already full."

"Yeah." Lin Shen nodded, paused and said, "My master is still at home, I'm worried that he won't be able to eat well."

"I didn't expect you to know how to hurt others. You have changed too much. You are completely different from before." He Caibo showed the familiar thoughtful expression again.

Lin Shen's heart tightened, and he quickly interrupted her thinking, saying, "I just came here to tell you that I'm going home."

"What's the hurry, I have one more thing to discuss with you." He Caibo looked at him helplessly.

"What's the matter?" Lin Shen put his whole body on alert, worried that He Caibo might say something surprising.

He Caibo said: "The rice has been recovered, but there is still a night watchman missing."

Without guards, Liang Liang might be lost.What He Caibo was talking about was the night watchman. This job was very hard, and he needed to take the bedroll to the threshing ground.The night watchmen can sleep, but they can't sleep too much. They have to get up at least four or five times a night to make inspections from time to time.

Lin Shen: "I haven't done this job before, and I also work during the day, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep if I lie down."

"You—" He Caibo was about to speak, but his father-in-law called him in the room, so he had no choice but to say to Lin Shen, "Okay, you go back first, come tomorrow at this time."

Lin Shen walked out of the yard with a relaxed expression.

"These are for you."

At the gate of Liang's house, a young man with straight eyebrows stuffed the cloth bag in his arms to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng lowered his head and said: "I can't take it, you should take it back, if your grandma sees it, he will scold you."

"Oh, is there anyone around here? Hurry up and take it, as long as you don't tell me, no one will find out." The big-eyed young man forced the cloth bag into Luo Feng's arms, and then hurried back.

Luo Feng stood motionless, as if turned into a statue.

Hearing footsteps, he hurriedly hid the cloth bag behind him.Seeing that it was Lin Shen who came, the expression on his face became relaxed.

Lin Shen didn't ask too much, everyone has their own secrets.

He just said, "Go home together?"

"Yeah." Luo Feng said with a smile.

The cloth bag in his arms exuded heat, and this heat crawled along his hands to his face, his face became hot unknowingly, and his eyes became watery.

Seeing Luo Feng walk into his yard, Lin Shen stepped up and walked home.

The old carpenter was sitting in the yard eating. Seeing Lin Shen came back, he raised his voice and said, "Are you back? Are you tired?"

"No."

How can you not be tired?

In front of family members, no matter how hard or tired they are, they will never tell the truth.

Lin Shen leaned over and took a look at the dishes on the table.

A plate of stir-fried vegetables doesn't smell good, and you can't see a single bit of meat inside. This is the old carpenter's dinner.

"You just eat this?" Lin Shen asked.

"No work, I'm not very hungry." The old carpenter said with a smile.

"Don't eat, I'll make it for you." Lin Shen raised his hand and took the dish away.

The old carpenter froze in place, and said dumbfoundingly, "I'm really not hungry, so you don't have to work around. Aren't you tired after a day's work?"

Lin Shen ignored him and cooked a stir-fried dish as quickly as possible.

The old carpenter said that he was not hungry, his eyes lit up when the dishes were served, and the speed of chopsticks became faster.

It was autumn, and Lin Shen still went to the back to take a bath. When he came back, he was very cold and sneezed several times.

The old carpenter said: "It's getting cold, I should make a wooden barrel for bathing in winter."

The two talked for a while.

The old carpenter told him that Jiang Daizhen had been here.

Lin Shen was stunned: "When did it happen?"

"He came in the afternoon, and he was in a carriage with a servant named Xiaotao. He seemed quite disappointed to know you were not here. I was still thinking, should I give him the little carriage that you touched every day. Later, I thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate for you to make the gift, or to give it yourself, and I don’t know if he will come again tomorrow—” said the old carpenter.

Lin Shen's mood became very good all of a sudden, and he said relaxedly: "If he comes again, you can give him the car for me."

"You didn't deliver it yourself?" the old carpenter said in surprise.

"Just send it off." Lin Shen turned and went into the back room.

It's getting cold and I can't sleep outside anymore.In the hottest summer, I would hold a mat and spread it out in the yard, and sleep until I felt cold before going back to the house.

"Hey, don't you regret it," said the old carpenter.

One night without words, time passed quickly.

After sleeping all night, Lin Shen felt that the lost energy had returned, and he walked to He Caibo's house in high spirits.The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, this time there is no need for others to lead the way, he knows where to go.

Passing by Liang's house, he saw a middle-aged man pointing at Luo Feng, still talking.He paused, and heard the middle-aged man say: "—Don't seduce my son just because of your good looks, you are not worthy of him at all. My son will marry a rich family in the future——"

Luo Feng's face was pale, and he said weakly: "I didn't think so, I just came here to work."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "It's good that you know, or you don't do it. There are so many people in the village vying to come to my house to help, don't treat yourself like a dish."

Luo Feng was anxious, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't dare, don't drive me away, I really need this job."

Lin Shen walked away, he stopped and looked back, and found that Luo Feng and the middle-aged man had all gone in.

He Caibo stood at the door, saw Lin Shen's actions, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"I didn't see anything." Lin Shen said.

"Liar." He Caibo looked at him with a smile.

It's the second day, and no one is late.After breakfast they set out for the fields.

Jiang Daizhen rushed again, he felt that he had come very early, but Lin Shen still left.

"He got up so early?" Jiang Daizhen said disappointedly.

"Leave before dawn." The old carpenter told the truth, he turned and went into the house as if he was looking for something.

Xiaotao pursed her mouth: "It's hard work. I left before dawn and came back after dark. I can only earn ten copper coins a day."

He felt sorry for Lin Shen, and even more for Jiang Daizhen.

In order to meet Lin Shen, Jiang Daizhen, who always loves to sleep late, got up early in the morning, and the mountain road was so bumpy that he didn't let the coachman stop once. When he arrived here, the sun had just risen, but he still couldn't see Lin Shen. To Lin Shen.

The old carpenter came out and said cheerfully, "Shen'er asked me to give it to you."

With a smile on Jiang Daizhen's face, he took the small car and looked at it non-stop.

"Did he do it himself?" Xiaochao asked.

"I helped with some of the pictures he drew, and I did the rest by myself," said the old carpenter.

Xiaotao said enviously, "It's so delicate."

Jiang Daizhen didn't say he was leaving, he took the cart and looked at the flowers in the yard in a daze.

The old carpenter scratched his head, feeling awkward for not speaking.But he didn't know what to say, so he said dryly for a long time, "Do you want to take a look around?"

Jiang Daizhen nodded.

The old carpenter led the way and led them to the backyard.

"That's the cellar that Shen'er dug."

Jiang Daizhen and Xiaotao went to see it.

The cellar is so deep that you can't see the edge at a glance.

Xiaotao said, "How many days has he been digging?"

The old carpenter was very grateful to Xiaotao, if Xiaotao hadn’t talked to him, he couldn’t find anything to say, and kept saying, “Five or six days ago, my hands were blistered. Sometimes he didn’t sleep at night and came here alone with an oil lamp Digging. Everyone said that this kid is not good, but I think he is very good, and he lives a solid life."

The old carpenter took the opportunity to say a lot of good things about Lin Shen.

Jiang Daizhen had never seen the cellar before, and it was the first time he saw that the cellar looked like this.

"For those who put vegetables in winter, the mountain will be closed when it snows heavily, and people will starve to death if there is no food." Regardless of whether they can listen to it or not, the old carpenter said to himself.

And took them to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

"This is a sweet potato. Shen'er told me. If he didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know. Hey, I've learned a lot." The old carpenter pointed to a large green piece.

Xiao Tao took a few steps to the side, said with a smile, "Brother, this is cabbage."

Jiang Daizhen seemed absent-minded: "Is the place where he works far from here?"

Xiaotao looked at him in surprise: "Brother, don't you want to go to the field?"

"The scenery in the countryside is nice, can't I go and see the scenery?" Jiang Daizhen said solemnly.

"Okay." Xiaotao rolled her eyes.

It's fine to deceive others with these words, but it is impossible to deceive him.

If you go to see the scenery, why are your ears so red?
