Farmer's happy event

Chapter 47 Road Encounters
Shopkeeper Zhang exchanged pleasantries here for a while, and didn't get up to say goodbye until almost noon.Mrs. Yang and Liu Jingren stayed at home to eat lunch before leaving, but shopkeeper Zhang said that there was still something to do in the shop, so he left in a hurry.

After he left, Lianzi let out a long sigh of relief, and finally settled the matter.

"Girl, who told you that we are going to buy land?" Yang looked at Lianzi and asked.

Although she did have this idea, firstly, it is very difficult to buy a good land, and secondly, with the little money her family has saved, is it enough to buy a little more?
Lianzi blinked her big eyes and said, "Our family only has two acres of land. If you plant wheat, you can't grow sticks, and if you plant sticks, you can't plant sweet potatoes. It's almost not enough for us to eat. Of course, we have to buy more."

Yang thinks about it too, the land is really too small, and it is impossible to think about various things.But if you want to buy land, you really have no money.

Lianzi seemed to see through what she was thinking, and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, our family will definitely earn more and more money, and we don't need to buy a good land. It can be said that the book my brother lent me has I have learned a lot of ways to improve the land. Let's just buy that kind of land that costs three or four taels of silver per mu."

"Really?" Yang was a little in disbelief.Consolidating the land is a technical task. Lianzi, a little man, can he really do it?

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Lianzi didn't insist anymore, she just said, "Oh, mother, just wait and see."

Yang just shook her head with a smile, said no more, went into the cellar to get the vegetables for lunch, quickly finished the meal, and packed up the things to bring back to her mother's house tomorrow.

The next day the family got up early, had breakfast, and drove the ox cart to Yang's natal family.

When we got there, it was the same as in previous years. First, we greeted each other, and then the men sat and talked in the main room, while the women sat in the kitchen, choosing vegetables, washing and chopping vegetables, and preparing a sumptuous lunch in a tinkling manner while gossiping. homely.Throughout the year, married daughters can only return to their natal homes in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year. Naturally, girls have to get together and talk about themselves.

The families of Yang's two elder brothers both bought more than ten acres of land later, and the family lives quite well.Yang told her family's plan to buy land, and begged her brother to keep an eye out for her, and let her know if there was any suitable land to sell.

Lianzi's grandma, Mrs. Zheng, sees the most difficult Mrs. Yang, and now her life is getting better and better, she is really happy from the bottom of her heart.Yang Shi is her only girl, and she has loved her since she was a child. When she was choosing a son-in-law, she also took a fancy to Liu Jingren's honesty, thinking that she would not be offended after she married.

But who knows, if you don't get angry with your son-in-law, you will suffer a lot of anger between mother-in-law and sister-in-law.She didn't have a son, even if Mrs. Zheng wanted to stand up for her, she couldn't open her mouth.

Fortunately, the family was separated later, and Liu Jingren treated her very well, and the family life became more and more prosperous. The stone in Zheng's heart finally fell to the ground, and today he couldn't help it, and even had two glasses of wine.

When Yang Shi and Liu Jingren were about to leave, the old lady was already drowsy, but she still leaned on crutches and insisted on taking their family to the door. Seeing them drifting away, she went back to rest.

Today Liu Jingren also ate a few more glasses of wine. He who is usually taciturn, now talked a lot. He even said that he must live a good life in the future, buy land, build a new house, and find a good son-in-law for each of the daughters.

Yang-shi smiled and spat at him: "Drive the car well, don't throw our mothers into the ditch." Having said that, Yang-shi couldn't help being happy, thinking that the future will definitely be better and better, She couldn't help laughing from ear to ear.

After walking more than half of the way, when we were about to reach the village, the sky was also covered with a thin black shadow.

Fearing that Liu Jingren drank too much and it would be unsafe to walk in the dark, Yang urged him to hurry up while it was still light.

As she was walking, Guzi who was sitting on the outside suddenly felt the bean next to her pull her, and then heard her say: "Elder sister, look."

Gu Zi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that it was a carriage, and there were two people standing beside the carriage. The night was a bit hazy, and it was hard to see who it was.

At the same time, Li Zi also found out, and said to Yang: "Mother, look there, there is a carriage."

Yang looked in the direction she pointed, and said, "People on the road."

Lianzi also looked at it, but said nothing.She has always been not very concerned about things that have nothing to do with her, let alone actively explore.He just sighed in his heart: "This country boy is really pitiful, he seems to be overjoyed when he sees the carriage."

Liu Jingren flicked a whip on the cow's buttocks, and the bullock cart continued to move forward creakingly, and soon reached the place where the carriage stopped.

They were about to drive there when a middle-aged man suddenly waved to Liu Jingren and said, "Brother, can you do me a favor?"

Liu Jingren saw that he didn't look like a bad guy, and this place was very close to Liujiazhuang, and he could see lights from a distance, so he stopped the car and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My horse suddenly fell ill and I can't walk. Can I borrow your car for a ride?" He said, pointing to his horse lying on the ground and panting heavily.

"Where are you going?" Liu Jingren asked.

The man immediately replied: "My family is in the town. I went out to do some errands today. I went back late. Unexpectedly, the horse fell ill again on the way." After he finished speaking, he asked, "Brother, where is your family?"

"Over there, Liujiazhuang." Liu Jingren said, pointing to the village in front of him with his whip up.

The man said again: "That's just right. When you get home, I'll let someone lead the horse to go home with you. Let the horse go to your house first. I'll borrow your ox cart and bring it to you tomorrow. How do you think?" After he finished speaking, seeing that Liu Jingren didn't speak, he thought to himself, "That's right, if you meet a stranger on the road, no one will lend the car casually. Besides, the cow is the lifeblood of the farmers. , how can it be easily dealt with?"

He immediately said again: "I didn't bring much money when I went out today. I only have a few taels of silver left on me. Let me put it here first. When I return the ox cart intact tomorrow, you can give me the money." Not too late."

Liu Jingren thought for a while, the total of the ox and the cart was less than 20 taels of silver, and he was betting on both the silver and the horse, so he must have really encountered difficulties.If you are away from home, help if you can, let's help him.

So Liu Jingren nodded and said, "Okay, you can get in the car first."

The man was overjoyed, he ordered the servants who followed him to take the things in the cart, and led the horse to follow, while he himself got into the ox cart of Lianzi's family, and sat on the left and right side of the ox cart with Liu Jingren.

Along the way, the man chatted with Liu Jingren from time to time, but whenever Liu Jingren asked where his family lived in the town, he didn't say carefully.

As a result, Yang became very worried, this person could not be a liar, he was specialized in deceiving cattle.He said to keep the horse, who knows if the horse will die tomorrow.He said he would keep the money, but who knows whether his money is real or fake.Even if it was true, it would be really unsafe to keep the money at home.

Therefore, Yang said: "Brother, to tell you the truth, this ox cart does not belong to our family, it is borrowed from a neighbor's. Although my neighbor is a good person, I can borrow it if I talk to him for safekeeping, but We always feel sorry for troublesome people all the time."

Hearing Yang's words, the man couldn't help but feel a little worried, is he going to say no to borrowing again?

Mrs. Yang looked around and said, "Look, it's completely dark today, and it's really not safe to walk at night. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for a night. There is a veterinarian in our village. Let him show the horse tomorrow, and then leave when he is done, can you see it?"

This man has only one servant with him, as long as she hides the cows, stays vigilant at night, and sends them away in the morning, it should be fine.

A bit of hesitation flashed across the man's face, but then he thought about it, seeing that the family looked simple and had children, there must be no evil intentions, so he smiled and said: "Then I will bother you."

Mrs. Yang hurriedly said "No", and then said: "It's just that my house is small, with only two rooms, and the other room lives with my four daughters. This—"

"You are too polite. I can just make a floor bed in the kitchen. I would be very grateful if you can take me in." Before Yang could finish his sentence, he was snatched away.

Yang's face showed a bit of embarrassment, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't let the children go to the big kang in the main room with them again.Besides, the family is full of girls, and if a man is allowed to sleep in his own daughter's kang, if it gets out, it will be so ugly.

"Then I can only wrong you." Yang said again.

After arriving at home, Mrs. Yang let the two of them into the house, and asked Liu Jingren to stay with her and take good care of the children. After driving the ox cart by herself, she went to Mrs. Zhao's house and left the ox cart at her house overnight.

After returning, Mrs. Yang hurried into the kitchen to cook.It's getting late now, and I don't have time to prepare more sumptuous meals, so I cooked rice porridge, pasted pancakes, cut a few slices of meat, fried a Chinese cabbage, made a plate of pickled vegetables, and made do with it Have a meal.

I wanted to scramble another egg at first, but I used a lot of the eggs at home to make snacks. Now there are only two left in the basket, which is not worth frying.

"I'm really sorry, there's nothing delicious at home, so I can only make do with it." Yang put the food on the table with an apologetic face.

The man waved his hands and said with a smile: "If not, I'm already content with hot meals."

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Liu Jingren's alcoholism seemed to have not subsided, and he talked a lot throughout the afternoon.

The man agreed, picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip, picked up a pickled vegetable with chopsticks, and started eating with pancakes.

Seeing that he was not cautious, Mrs. Yang took the children to the stove first, made a floor with thick straw, and brought a quilt.

This quilt was Yang's dowry back then, the only cotton quilt, it has been covered for more than ten years, it is already hard, but Yang has been reluctant to throw it away, so it has been kept until now, it just came in handy today.

After the man had finished eating, Mrs. Yang took the children to the table to eat.

I ate a lot of dishes on the table, especially the dish of cabbage.Yang took out the remaining vegetables in the pot and ate them with the children.

"Sister of the Liu family," the man said to Yang, "Can I ask you a question?"

Seeing that he was quite polite, Mrs. Yang couldn't refuse for a while, so she said, "What's the matter?"

"How do you make your cabbage?" he asked.

"Ah?" Yang was stunned for a moment, what else can we do with cabbage?So he said: "Just do it like that, add some big bone broth, and drizzle with chili oil."

The man nodded, as if he was relishing the deliciousness of the cabbage.

He knew that adding some bone broth to the dish would make it more delicious, but it was still not as good as today's.Could it be that the secret lies in the sauce?
