The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life

The boy never thought that Li Jin would sum up and sublimate the meaning of his words so straightforwardly.

But he doesn't have so many twists and turns, and he never says anything.

So, Qin Muwen nodded in front of Li Jin: "Yes."

I care about you.

Li Jin put down the pumpkin, feeling that strange thoughts that had been suppressed by him rose up again.

But Li Jin has been single for 29 years, so she really doesn't know what makes her heart flutter.

In the face of other people's confession before, he could calmly refuse, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

But facing the young man, he can't help but want to see the man smile and want to talk to the young man more.

Even, I want to hear the teenager say: "I care about you."

Finally, the pumpkin buns are made by two people together. Li Jin washes the pumpkin, peels it, cuts it into cubes, and mixes the stuffing with soy sauce, salt and sesame oil.

The young man is responsible for kneading and kneading the dough, and finally wraps out the small buns with eight pleats.

Li Jin had made buns and dumplings before. After all, he was studying abroad at the time. During Chinese New Year, a bunch of Chinese people would gather together to make dumplings and steam buns.

But he had to admit that his technique was only to keep the buns from falling apart.

It's not like a boy, holding the skin of the bun with one hand, pinching the edge with the other, turning it a few times, and a small bun is ready.

There are no more and no less on each bun, exactly eight pleats.

Li Jin also dipped some flour and wrapped it up like him.

It's a pity that making buns is a technical job.

It's not something you can learn by looking at it.

Li Jin finished making the first steamed stuffed bun, and the boy placed it on the chopping board, right on the tail of the bunch of steamed stuffed buns that looked like works of art.

Li Jin thought for a while: "The last bun looks crooked, so it must not be a good bun."

It was the first time for the young man to see that Li Jin didn't know how to do something, the dimples on the corners of his lips were shallow, and there was a deep smile in his eyes.

Li Jin wanted to practice one more time, when he heard someone outside the door shouting loudly: "Li Jin, we are looking for someone to build a house for you!"

Li Jin went out to clean his hands, opened the door, and saw two familiar faces standing outside the door.

He had seen them all the time when he was farming.

Li Jin beckoned people to come in: "Brother Er Niu, Brother Da Zhuang, please come in."

Li Erniu and Li Daniu's family are a little related, they are similar in age, so they simply took the same name.

It was also the last time Li Erniu's child brought his friends to Li Jin's house to ask for meat.

This person was embarrassed, so he wanted to do something for Li Jin.

Anyway, now that the busy farming season is over, he has nothing to do, so if he can help out, it can be regarded as strengthening the relationship between the neighbors.

Li Erniu said: "We originally agreed that it would be the second day of the second half of the year, but my farm work was finished yesterday. Today I brought Da Zhuang to ask you first, besides building the house, what else needs to be repaired?"

Li Jin is not too polite, after all, if the roof is not repaired now, it will be his family who will suffer from the rain leakage in the future.

He said: "The roof of my bedroom and kitchen is ventilated. Fortunately, it hasn't rained recently, otherwise my family would have suffered disaster."

Li Dazhuang is also straightforward, he said with a smile: "Last year, Li Zhuzi saw that your house was leaking and made the bed wet, so he asked me to mend the roof for you.

At that time, you refused to let me help you life or death, it was a shame to save face.

I thought, how can there be any practical benefits in saving face?If Brother Erniu hadn't called me this time, I might not have come here. "

Li Jin knew the village people's habit of speaking, that is, when they praise you, they must first belittle, so as to play the role of suppressing before they want to praise.

What Li Dazhuang wanted to express by saying this was that Kua Li Jin would suffer for his face if he didn't die now.

Li Jin said: "At that time I was young and ignorant, now I finally know that I was wrong."

Li Dazhuang saw that Li Jin really was like the pillar of the family as rumored.

Without saying much, he supported the ladder on his hand and climbed up in a few strokes.

Li Erniu asked, "How about the roof?"

When Li Dazhuang came down, he frowned and said, "Some small holes can be patched, but even if the big holes are patched with straw, they will still leak when it rains heavily."

Li Jin also knew about this situation, and he asked, "Is there any other way to live in peace for a while after repairing the roof?"

Li Erniu said, "Could it be that Li Jin wants to replace them all with tiles?"

Li Jin asked the price of the tiles again, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't have so much money to replace all the tiles, so I just want to replace the places that can't be repaired with straw with tiles.

In this way, even if the rainy season comes this year, the house will not leak. "

Finally, Li Dazhuang went to check the roof above the kitchen and estimated how much material was needed.

"We pick the soil for house repairs from the mountains by ourselves. After a while, the three of us each pick two frames, and I don't need the straw from my place. If we mix them together, we can mend the roof."

Li Jin responded immediately.

Li Erniu said: "As for the tiles, you can go to the town and buy a basket. It's better to order two more carts of burnt clay. When the goods arrive tomorrow, we can start building your house."

Li Jin was a complete layman in architecture, so he listened to the arrangement of the villagers and went to the mountains to collect soil together.

Although his body has been trained recently, he is still so tired that his eyes are wide and his forehead is full of blue veins when he is carrying two boxes of soil.

Li Erniu and Li Dazhuang hurriedly told him not to fill up each frame so much, and made room for him.

The baskets of the two of them were already full of soil, but now that Li Jin's was divided, the soil was piled up into small hillocks.

Li Jin knew that this was not the time for him to be brave, so he quickly thanked the two of them.

"Li Jin, you're already good enough. When we were your age, we couldn't pick two full boxes of soil."

Li Jin picked up the pole again, so tired that he was almost speechless.

He walked forward with all his heart, and naturally he didn't see the shock and admiration in the eyes of Li Erniu and Li Dazhuang.

"Although we also picked soil like Li Jin when we were eighteen, we are different from Li Jin, we have been doing farm work since we were young.

Li Jin was really spoiled by Aunt Li, now that Aunt Li is gone, it's as if Li Jin grew up overnight. "

Li Dazhuang not only agreed with Li Erniu's words, but also added: "Li Jin is still studying, and if he wants to be a scholar in the future, our village will be honored.

He has to take care of studying, farming, and supporting his family. To be honest, I, Li Dazhuang, will obey him! "

After picking up so much soil, Li Jin's legs were shaking at first, but after walking a lot, he got used to it.

But I really didn't have the energy to listen to the conversation between the two behind.

He came out to pick the soil and wore coarse linen clothes, but he didn't expect the soil to be so dense and thick, and he really felt that his shoulders were going to be worn out again.

After the three of them entered Li Jin's house and placed the bamboo baskets by the wall, Li Jin stood up straight and let out a sigh of relief.

The boy packed the freshly baked hot buns, set up a wooden board in the yard, and put the buns on it.

He poured warm water for the three of them again, and set up benches: "Everyone, take a break."

Because Li Dazhuang and Li Dazhuang admired Li Jin, their attitude towards the boy became much better.

"Siblings and sisters... sister-in-law is really virtuous."

"Yeah yeah."

The tone of the two was dry.After all, although their village is not rich, the village chief has planned it well. Every household has land to plant and a house to live in. Most of the men even take care of their families.

People in neighboring villages are also willing to marry their daughters over, which leads to the fact that there are not many brothers in the village.

After all, the food chain of this era is arranged according to men, women, and brothers.

Except for Li Jin, no one in the village would marry a brother as the main wife.

It's not that the two of them dislike Qin Muwen, it's just that they have never boasted about a brother so much, so they are a little strange.

The two thought that this matter was over, but they didn't expect Li Jin to walk up to Qin Muwen before he rested.

"Didn't you go to rest during the day?"

Li Erniu and Li Dazhuang: "???" Wake up, brother, which husband can be so expensive?

Li Jin sent the boy back, and then apologized to the two: "My husband is indeed virtuous, so I paid more attention to his body. It made you laugh."

The two: "..." It's not a joke, it's a shock!

After the three had eaten and rested, Li Dazhuang went to mix the straw, soil and water together with a shovel.

The soil in the mountains is inherently sticky, but with the addition of wheat straw, it becomes tougher.

Taking advantage of the afternoon, they repaired the small holes in the roof for Li Jin. When Li Jin came back with the tiles tomorrow, the roof could be completely repaired.

In the end, Li Jin gave everyone ten Wen as wages.

Working in the town for a day, regardless of food, the salary is between 25 Wen and [-] Wen.

Li Jin only worked all afternoon and took care of the steamed stuffed buns, so he was paid ten Wen.

Originally, the two were unwilling to accept it, but Li Jin would feel very sorry if he said no.

The two finally accepted the copper plate.

After finishing all this, Li Jin went to Li Zhuzi's house with a catty of ribs. He wanted to borrow Li Zhuzi's ox cart tomorrow.

Li Jin didn't think he could walk back from town with a basket of tiles on his back.

The density of tiles is higher than that of soil. After all, they are fired, and the materials inside are all compacted.

When Li Daniu heard this, he said that there was no problem at all.

"It just so happens that I'm going to deliver firewood tomorrow, so I'll wait for you on the main street and go to the Wayao together."

Li Jin didn't know the way to Wayao yet, although it was next to the town, but with Li Zhuzi, it was indeed much more convenient.

Then he went to water the vegetable field, came back to practice calligraphy, took a bath, did push-ups, and it was late again when he went to bed.

In the past, teenagers would fall asleep while watching Li Jin practicing calligraphy.

Today he took out his needle and thread, and sewed two wide and thick strips of cloth by light.

When Li Jin finished writing, the boy had already sewed it up, and quietly put the things back into the frame, pretending that he hadn't done anything just now.

Li Jin didn't doubt it either, and went back to sleep after taking a shower.

It was not until the next day when he carried the pannier that he realized that a layer of shoulder straps had been sewn under the two hemp ropes that strangled his shoulders.With the wide shoulder straps, this pannier is not so annoying.

Li Jin guessed that the boy should have added shoulder straps to the basket when he was taking a bath.

Holding the shoulder strap, Li Jin looked at the boy's innocent face, pretending that he didn't know anything.

Suddenly, she took a few steps forward and planted a kiss on his forehead.

Like a kiss like a brother saying goodbye, Li Jin said——

"I'm leaving. I'm going to buy tiles and burnt clods today. I'll be back later."

The young man was in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses until Li Jin was gone. He wanted to catch up and see Li Jin's back.

But the little bun cried in the room at the right time, so Qin Muwen could only go back and hold the bun to nurse.

In the end, Baozi fell asleep after eating and drinking, and Qin Muwen remained in this position blankly.

The dimples at the corners of her lips are always sweet.

Well, it's as sweet as when he secretly ate the ugliest-looking pumpkin buns yesterday when Li Jin and the others didn't come back from picking soil.
