I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 68 Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors 3
"Isn't this simple? Just ask your brother Baoyu to make one." Li Xiuju smiled slightly, and Zhou Chenyu jumped for joy, "Yes, why didn't I think of it? I'll tell him when he comes back."

Looking through the branches and leaves into the blue sky, I couldn't find an extra cloud. Cicadas and cicadas kept shouting above the leafy branches. The gentle breeze blew away the clothes hanging on the bamboo poles, which happened to fall on the Drain the radish in the dustpan.

Li Xiuju heard the noise, got up and walked into the yard, picked up the clothes, patted them, and hung them up to dry again.

Baoyu carried the newly cut bamboo and approached the house. When Huang Dou saw it, he broke free from Zhou Chenyu's arms and ran up to greet him.

Baoyu staggered to the door and unloaded the bamboo pole.

Li Xiuju saw that his shoulders were red and peeling, "You silly boy, didn't I tell you to do less? Why are you so stubborn?"

"Mom, aren't I just trying to go faster? I'll get enough in one go, so I don't have to make another trip."

Baoyu giggled, and Zhou Chenyu patted the stool next to him, "There is wild chrysanthemum tea here."

Baoyu ran over and sat down, took a sip, and when he met his sister's earnest eyes, he suddenly felt something bad, "Sister, why are you looking at me like that? It's so weird."

Zhou Chenyu clenched his fists with both hands to support his chin, blinking and looking at him, "Baoyu, you drank my tea and sat on the stool. Can you make a recliner for your sister?"

"Oh, it turns out you didn't pour me tea because you appreciated my hard work." Baoyu curled her lips with a look of reluctance, "Sister, you are not sincere enough, so I won't do it."

"Oh, you don't understand what I'm saying, do you?" Zhou Chenyu raised his right foot directly in front of him, "This is what will happen if I don't fuck your feet! Do you or not?"

Baoyu saw that Zhou Chen couldn't move, raised his chin arrogantly, and said with a proud smile: "Sister, you can't even hit me, how can you stand up to me?"

If the hard one doesn't work, there will always be a soft one.

Zhou Chenyu looked at his arrogant look, suppressed his overwhelming arrogance, bit his lower lip pitifully, and walked up to him crying.

Baoyu looked sideways and said, "Sister, I've been fooled by your trick a few times. I won't fall for it this time."

"Are you so cruel?" Zhou Chenyu pinched his wound, tears falling from the pain, "Baoyu, I'm like this, are you still my brother?"

When she started crying, Baoyu couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately panicked and begged for mercy, "Sister, please stop crying. I'll just make you a recliner."

Zhou Chenyu trembled on his lips and shed another tear, "Really?"

"Really, I'm not lying to you. Don't cry. Mother will have to talk about me again when she sees you later." Baoyu handed over the tea, and Zhou Chenyu instantly turned from sadness to joy, "This is not bad, then I will just sit back and wait." Your chair."

Baoyu could only sigh helplessly, he had fallen into the trap again.

After Baoyu had rested enough, he hurried into the mountain and carried down the remaining bamboo poles.Originally it only required one trip, but because I needed to make an extra deck chair, I had to make two more trips.

The sun gradually moved over the eaves. Li Xiuju took out a handful of pickled sour cowpeas and dried pickled radish from the jar, added minced chili and garlic and stir-fried them together. It tasted sour, spicy and crispy, and was paired with a pot of refreshing white porridge. , there is no need to worry about running out of food.

After lunch, a few people sat under the tree in front of the courtyard to enjoy the cool air.

Hongmei was drying millet in front of her yard. The sun was strong at noon. Their yard was bare and there was no shade. It was windy and cool under the trees, so she took off her hat and brought Grandma Wang and her children over to play.Grandma Wang sat on a stool and placed the child in the sand. Huang Dou saw a cute little person and jumped up and ran around the child. It was perfect for the two of them to play together without using their hands to look at it.

With her hands free, Grandma Wang also helped Li Xiuju make a few dustpans, "It's a good life like this, we can all stay together and talk and laugh."

Li Xiuju saw everyone with smiles on their faces and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's good to be stable and secure without asking for wealth."

Hongmei took off her hat and asked for a sip of tea. She looked at the strange bamboo tube in front of Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Chenyu looked up while busy and said, "Sister-in-law, we are making a deck chair."

"Reclining chair?" Hongmei knelt down, took a serious look, and smiled for a while: "It's cool under the big tree. It would be nice to put a reclining chair here and lie down on it to cool down! We'll wait until the trees in our house are green again someday. , I also asked him to make two."

Grandma Wang heard her grandson's name and asked, "Hongmei, what are you talking about?"

Hongmei smiled and said, "Nai, I saw Baoyu and the others making deck chairs. I also want Shuqing to make two for us, one for you and one for me. They are polished bamboo chairs to lie down and cool down."

Li Xiuju listened to the conversation, looked at the old lady, and nodded with a smile: "Hongmei is a filial child and thinks of you in everything. Old lady, you are lucky."

Grandma Wang smiled coyly and said nothing, but she fell in love with this granddaughter-in-law even more.

The rice that is dried in the yard needs people to rake it continuously so that every grain of rice can be dried.After resting enough, Hongmei put on her hat and returned to her door.

After she left, a group of children ran to the dry field under the big tree and lay on the field ridge like dogs crawling. One person put his hand into the small black hole on the field ridge to dig out mud, and another group of children blocked the entrance of another hole to guard it.

Zhou Chenyu saw that they were covered in mud, but she didn't feel dirty. She became curious, "What are they doing?"

Baoyu looked at them, as if he had seen what he had been like before. How could he be so stupid?
"Sister, they are catching voles."

The child immediately exclaimed, "Hey, yes, yes! I touched the tail!"

Zhou Chenyu had never seen this formation before. He stopped what he was doing and looked at the two children squatting on both sides of the cave entrance. The other child picked a taro leaf and poured the water from the ditch into the cave entrance, repeating this process again and again. After installing it twice, muddy water flowed out of another hole.

Baoyu stuck his head out and looked at their reactions with a smile.

The child who was responsible for digging the hole didn't see the movement of the vole. He blinked one eye and looked into the hole, muttering: "Hey, why doesn't the vole come out? Did I touch it wrong?"

"I clearly touched it just now. It's impossible not to." The other child pushed him away, put on himself, and put his face into the hole, stretched his arms in as much as possible, and indeed touched the tail again, "I touched it It's on fire, I'm touching it! It's gone over there, whoever of you has the longer hands can force it into the hole over there!"

"I have long hands! I'll do it!" A slender and long child came up with his sleeves rolled up, and without hesitation stretched his arm in to poke. The other children came closer attentively and gathered around the other entrance, not daring to look at it for a moment. blink.
