Pastoral affairs

Nie Qing does a lot of these tasks on weekdays, and doing it now will naturally not make Mrs. Sun's scalp hurt. It's just that Mrs. Sun has just covered her face with the handkerchief and hasn't scrubbed it, so the wound is warm Sun took a deep breath, threw the handkerchief heavily, and was about to stand up.Her hair was still in Nie Qing's hands, and it hurt so badly when she pulled it like this. The pain on her face and the pain on her scalp made Mrs. Sun slap Nie Qing's head without even thinking about it, and said sharply: " Damn girl, are you going to rip my hair off!"

Nie Qing shook her head hastily, seeing that Mrs. Sun was still unwilling to give up, looking around, as if looking for something to hit her, she was so scared that her face changed a little, and she hurriedly said: "Mother, sister-in-law bought so many cows. Sheep, where did she get the money?" Nie Qing said this urgently and quickly, fearing that her troubles would be too late for Mrs. Sun to take something and draw it on herself.Hearing what she said, Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses. She didn't care about beating Nie Qing, and cursed:

"Where did the money come from? It must belong to your elder brother! That little bitch, who knew how to seduce men before he was young, must have belonged to your elder brother!" When Sun thought of this, her heart felt like being caught by a cat. Ordinarily, I feel very uncomfortable: "The money should have belonged to the Nie family. If the money is put on our side, we can build a bigger land, and then Qiuwen can be a daughter-in-law." When Sun said this Seeing that she didn't intend to hit her anymore, Nie Qing involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, listening to Sun's mouth still scolding Cui Wei.After a while of fear, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back.

Mrs. Sun had been holding back her anger for a long time. If she let her burn her anger on herself today, she might have to suffer a lot today. Why should she suffer so much? Shi made the fire a little hotter and asked her to trouble Cui Wei.They are all the same girl, how can she be liked by the elder brother, but she is not taken care of by the elder brother at all.Now she still has to be beaten by Mrs. Sun, how could Cui Wei be better than herself?Nie Qing's face was distorted for a moment, and Mrs. Sun was so focused on scolding Cui Wei that she didn't notice the strange look on her face. After a long while, she heard Nie Qing whisper: "Mother, since the elder sister-in-law's land was bought by the eldest brother Yes. There should also be a share of the second brother, why not let the second brother go and take a look at it, and help take care of it by the way, so that the money will not escape in the future. The second brother has money, what kind of daughter-in-law Can't talk anymore?"

As soon as I heard my daughter's words.Sun suddenly felt that it made sense, and her eyes lit up.She nodded quickly, but the smile on her face hadn't shown yet, and when she thought of what Nie Qing said about the land Nie Qiuran bought, she suddenly became furious. Before, she only thought that those beasts were bought by Nie Qiuran with silver. Yes, but I never thought that Nie Qiuran might also have bought that piece of land. Now that I think of such a large sum of money, Cui Wei is almost cheaper in the end.Sun's heart felt like a knife was being cut, and she quickly made up her mind and nodded.Chong Nie Qing said: "You call your second brother over, I have something to tell him!"

Nie Qing rolled her eyes, leaned close to Sun's ear and said a few words, Sun nodded quickly, asked her to find Nie Qiuwen, and ordered him to go to Cui Jingping and let him go next door to Cui Wei Look in the sheepfold, I want him to find out the news first.Nie Qiuwen has been detained at home by Mrs. Nie and Mrs. Sun for an unknown amount of time, and he has long since become bored. When Mrs. Sun asked him to go out to play, he felt like he was dreaming. He still refused to believe it. When Mrs. Sun got an affirmative answer, he immediately jumped up for joy, regardless of the fact that it was still raining outside at this time, and Mrs. Sun told him to go out wearing a coir raincoat and cover his head with his hands. There is no shadow.

Sun and Nie Qing glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help but smile.

Cui Wei has almost let go of the sheep pen. Every morning, Cui Shifu milks the sheep and milk by himself and picks it up for her. He also helps her carry water every day, and there are no sheep at home. Now, I only need to cook and eat by myself every day. I have a lot of free time. The next day is the New Year's Eve. Before it was dark, Cui Wei was discussing with Nie Qiuran what to eat the next day.Cui Wei is not short of money now, and she has almost never stopped eating meat on weekdays. She also makes pastries and snacks at home. She is not very excited about things like being able to wear new clothes and eat meat to buy sugar during the New Year. She didn't feel that there was anything to look forward to when she was about to eat.

Originally, I wanted to slaughter some meat at night and make dumplings tomorrow. I don’t know if it’s raining a lot this year. The few crops of leeks she planted in the yard before are growing juicy now, and I can just cut about three to five catties. When it comes down, it can be used to make leek dumplings.It was getting dark gradually, Cui Jingping didn't know what was going on these days, and he ran outside all day long, and the kung fu hadn't come back at this moment, Cui Wei had just lit the fire and cooked the rice, and hadn't put the vegetables in the pot to fry, There was already a hasty knock on the door outside, and the black back in the room yelled frantically towards the door.

In the evening, it rained harder, and I don't know who came over at this time. Cui Wei hurriedly got up and patted the firewood on her body. Before she went out, she saw that Nie Qiuran had already taken the umbrella and opened it. He waved at her and went to open the door by himself.I don't know who was standing outside the door, but after Nie Qiuran said a few words, he turned around and rushed towards her with an umbrella in his hand.

"Wei'er, it's my father-in-law who came over and said that something happened to the sheep pen next door!" Cui Wei panicked when she heard this, she hurriedly turned around and picked up the rice, then took a clean pot filled with water and put it on the stove On the way, he hurriedly followed Nie Qiuran out.

At this moment, Cui Shifu was standing at the door, his whole body was drenched, the water on his head was flowing down his hair, making him look like he had just been fished out of the water. It was blocked by the tiles, but at this moment, the water dripping from under his trousers seemed to gather into a stream.Cui Shifu's face was blue with cold and anxious, and he didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his face.Seeing him like this, Cui Wei was taken aback, and said quickly:

"Father, you're all soaked, go back to the house and change your clothes, what if you get cold?" Seeing that the Chinese New Year is almost here, if you get sick at this time, it's not just for fun Yes, people in the countryside are taboo about this, thinking that if one gets sick during the Chinese New Year, if one is not cured by the first day of the new year, it will be a year-long illness.Cui Shifu was shivering all over, and his whole body was numb from the cold, while shaking his head: "No, no need, I, Weier, I'm sorry for you." Cui Shifu couldn't help crying, A man who usually only knows how to sweat is now holding his head and crying hard.Not far away, Cui Jinghuai came over wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and his face was a little gloomy.

Seeing them like this, Cui Wei felt a little flustered, but she still forced herself to be calm, and asked Nie Qiuran to come out with a dry handkerchief, so that Cui Shifu could go to the sheep pen through the vest.

Along the way, Cui Shifu told her what had happened, and after a while, several people had already arrived at the sheepfold.At this moment, the door of the sheepfold was locked tightly, and Cui Shifu was frozen stiff all over. He took out the iron key several times but still couldn't take out the iron key, his eyes were red and astringent: "When I came here at night, I saw that the door was unlocked. Two of the sheep were killed, and a few are missing."

Although Cui Wei had guessed something from what Cui Shifu said about the situation inside, but when she actually entered the sheepfold and saw the scene inside, she still couldn't help being shocked.

The corpses of the two sheep in the sheepfold have already been put aside. Many sheep are frightened at the moment and are making 'bleat' sounds in their mouths. The lambs that hadn’t been around were dead right now. The sheep pens are spacious, and although it rained inside, most of the bloody smell was blown away, but many sheep can still be seen stepping out of the ground in many sheep pens. bloody hooves and furs.

"What's going on here?" As soon as Cui Wei approached the sheepfold, the sheep inside panicked and snarled around, screaming shrillly.Cui Shifu's eyes were red, he felt sorry for not being able to look after the sheep after receiving the money, and he also felt ashamed to face his daughter, listening to her question now, at least he cheered up and wiped his face He said with a straight face: "These two days, the Erlang of the Nie family said that he listened to his mother and came to have a look at this sheepfold." When Cui Shifu said this, he couldn't help but glanced at Nie Qiuran, feeling heavy and a little bit in his heart. Uncomfortable: "He said that his mother has said that he will have a share in this sheepfold in the future, so he often wants to come and have a look. These days, I also gave him a key. In the morning, I fed the sheep and it was fine. Yes, I came here at night to wash the sheep pen with your elder brother and add some grass, who would have seen this."

As soon as Cui Wei heard this, her face turned pale with anger, and she shook her body twice. Nie Qiuran at the side hurriedly reached out to embrace her. Seeing Cui Shifu's anxious and worried face, Nie Qiuran said in a deep voice: " Father-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's Nie Qiuwen's fault, don't blame yourself." Hearing what he said, Cui Shifu nodded in panic, obviously still terrified in his heart, although he said he didn't blame himself anymore, But as a person, he can really expose this matter.

Nie Qiuran didn't say much, and checked some sheep with Cui Wei, isolated the injured ones aside, and asked Cui Shifu to drag the dead ones back, and several people tidied up in the heavy rain. Changed, pulled Cui Wei and walked towards Nie's house.

As soon as he walked to Cui's house, he saw Cui Jingping with two taro leaves on his head, and ran towards this side while shrinking. When he saw Cui Wei, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again. He only thought that they were looking for him, and waved at them: "Sister, I'm here!"

As he was talking, he ran towards this side in three or two steps. Every time he jumped, a string of mud spots splashed on his feet. When he ran over, Cui Wei saw that his trouser legs were already covered with mud. drenched. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
