Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 145

Qin Xian was not happy, and said to Qin Dafu: "Father, my little sister is too generous. Our family worked so hard to plow the ground and grow spinach. Even if it is cheap, it can be sold at the market. She is good. Give it away for nothing."

Qin Dafu said: "Er Xian, your little sister did the right thing. You see we gave spinach, and people appreciate it. They came to help us plant trees, and they didn't take it for nothing. Er Xian, you have to remember, as long as People have a way, they will not be willing to take advantage of others, always take advantage of others, that is also a thick-skinned. Unless you are too poor, who would be so embarrassed, giving something to make people grateful, of course, is better than asking people for help Good stuff."

Qin Xian still didn't take it seriously, and always felt that what Mammy said was right, after the separation, the parents became more and more outrageous.

After planting the tree, Qin Ye asked Liu Qi to help dig a hole and build a grass shed in the ground.

Xiuyao heard it and said: "Brother, why are you building a shed?"

Qin Ye said: "Set up a shed to look at the tree. At this time, the tree has just been planted. It is too small. If someone does something wrong, it will be broken."

In the city's marketplace, there are always some punks who don't do their jobs properly and like to cause trouble and play tricks.However, in places where families with big surnames gather in the countryside, because of the township covenants and rules, and because they are all well-known families, there are fewer such hooligans.

But Xiuyao immediately understood that the elder brother was afraid that Zhou Xiaoli would let someone make trouble. No one was watching, and others would ruin it without knowing it. As long as there were people here, they would not dare to make trouble.

It is very easy for country people to build a grass shed. Basically, they can do it. The key is to bury four strong and load-bearing wooden sticks on the ground.The wooden sticks are crossed in two, and then tied tightly, and another wooden stick is placed at the two intersections as a beam.After that, it is covered with some grass curtains to keep out the wind and keep warm. It is also necessary to lay a thick layer of rice straw on the bottom, and put wheat bran on it, and then spread the straw curtains so that it will not be too cold.

But after all, it's only spring, so it's cold anyway.

Qin Dafu said: "Daye, you are not in good health, I will just come and see the saplings."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Isn't there still a second show, three people take turns to watch it."

Qin Xian was not happy and didn't answer.

After helping them plant the trees, the three brothers Liu Qi didn't stay long, and they had to leave without dinner.Mrs. Liu insisted that they must eat the frozen meat and fish they gave them last year, otherwise they would stink in a few days, and forced them to eat before leaving.

Xiuyao helped her mother prepare the rice, boiled Chinese cabbage with white meat, fried spinach, and took out shredded beans and dried eggplants that had been sun-dried years ago, soaked fried meat and ate them.

The work was almost over, Liu asked Xiuyao to call Old Qintou to drink, Qin Dafu heard it and said: "By the way, call you Sandada too."

Xiuyao didn't want to call her third uncle, and she was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would talk to her, so she said to Qin Yang, "Little Yang, go call."

After Qin Yang heard this, he dropped the Yoyo egg and told Xiuli to wait for him to come back to play, then went to call for someone, and met Xiurong at the door.Xiu Rong asked, "Little Yang, why are you going?"

Qin Yang said: "Our father asked Sandada to drink."

Xiurong scolded: "Stupid, he didn't help us plant trees and even told him to drink."

Qin Yang giggled and said, "Third Sister, you are scolding Dad."

Xiurong smiled and said, "Fuck you, you listen to me."

Qin Yang leaned over, "Okay."

After running for a while, he came back and said to Liu Shi and Qin Dafu: "My grandfather is weaving mats, let you drink it, I have a headache at Sandada, I can't get up on the kang, and I won't come here."

As soon as Qin Ergui heard this, he said: "Brother, it's alright, come and eat." Qin Dafu asked Liu Shi to pack up and order food and send it over.

Xiuxian said: "Father, that's all. There are so many of you, this is not enough to eat. I can't make my brother and Er Dada tired all day, and they can't eat enough."

Qin Dafu had no choice but to give up.

After dinner, it was still dark, and Liu Qi and the three refused to stay, so they drove the mule cart and left.

Qin Ergui helped send them off, and came back and said to Qin Dafu: "Brother, how do you plan to plant the land this year? I'm afraid you won't be able to harvest the cotton and millet in that wasteland."

Qin Dafu said: "It's all the children's thinking, I just listen to them and discuss what kind of spicy vegetable to grow."

Qin Ergui was surprised and said: "Spicy vegetable lumps? Isn't that just for pickling pickles, and how much money can you earn from that thing."

Qin Dafu scratched his head, "Anyway, it's picked up land, let's try it out."

After talking for a while, Qin Ergui said goodbye and went home when it was getting late.

Qin Ye packed his bed and went to see the saplings, Qin Dafu hurriedly said: "Daye, you rest, I will go."

Qin Ye smiled and said, "Father, I'm used to it. My husband and I sleep in straw sheds. It's fine."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu said: "Daye, let your father go and see for a day, your hand is not sharp yet, don't hurt it again."

Qin Ye couldn't resist, so he had to let his father go, and Liu Shi packed up another quilt for Qin Dafu, and brought him a teapot and lantern at home.This lantern was made by Xiuyao herself. Inside is an oil lamp made of a small teapot, and the oil lamp sits directly in a small woven rattan basket.The skeleton was propped up with torn cotton locust slivers, and the bottom was inserted into a small basket, and the white paper for sealing the windows was pasted on the outside.Strong hemp rope hangs the entire lantern, carried on a stick, or hung on the wall.

Qin Yang immediately rushed over to lift up the lantern, "Father, my sister and I will take you there."

Qin Dafu smiled, put the bedding on his back, and rolled up a straw curtain, then went to the field to look at the saplings.Country people often sleep in the field when farming is busy, and they have gotten used to it for a long time.Even in winter, when you are away from your husband, or if you travel far away on business, if you don't have someone to stay with, you will probably have to sleep in the wild.Compared with the thatched hut where I left my husband, the one I built in my home is thicker and warmer.

During the day, there are people walking around in and out of the village, so naturally no one dares to blatantly cause damage under everyone's noses.

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Qin Yang went out for a walk in the early morning, and came back and said, "Sister, sister, Uncle Zhou's house has hung a lot of lanterns on the street outside, and they said they want everyone to enjoy the lanterns at night."

Xiuyao was lying on the table, writing and drawing with charcoal pencils, calculating the number of seeds needed for the wasteland, when she heard Qin Yang shout, she said, "Just look at it for nothing."

Qin Yang smiled and said: "Sister, let's paste lanterns too."

Xiuyao pinched his face, "Little Yanger, they have free ones for us to see, so what do we have to do? When we have money, my sister will buy beautiful colored paper and make it for you. What are you doing at home now? Nothing, just a few blank sheets of paper, pasted like a lantern, it’s boring.”

Qin Yang had no choice but to say: "Okay."

Before it was dark, Mrs. Liu made dinner early and let the children eat to watch the lanterns.

Xiuyao led Qin Yang and Xiuli, and gave each of them a bagful of sweet potatoes and dates for them to chew.Uncle Zhou's house is in the southeast corner of the village. The house is big, and the front and back streets are also very spacious. The roads are paved with stones, so it won't be too muddy in rainy days, and it's not as difficult to walk as in Xiuyao's house.

There are two rows of colorful lights on the street, and there are riddles on the bottom for people to guess, and then they can receive rewards.

For fun, Xiuyao guessed two at random, got some candies and a little mud tiger for Qin Yang and Xiuli to play with, and then left casually.

Suddenly, someone stabbed her from behind, Xiuyao turned her head, but there was no one there.She thought that there were so many people and everyone accidentally touched it, but after walking around, she felt someone poking her again.She turned around and asked, "Who is so boring!"

Qin Yang had sharp eyes and shouted, "Sister, it's Zhou Mu!"

Xiuyao looked in the direction of Xiao Yang'er's finger, and saw Zhou Xiaopang holding a small lantern in his hand and wearing a tiger hat, looking at her with a smile.

Xiuyao glanced at him, snorted, and said to Qin Yang and Xiuli, "Go, let's ignore him and go home."

Seeing that Xiuyao and the others ignored him, Zhou Xiaopang immediately ran up and shouted: "Qin Xiuyao, Qin Xiuyao, hey, don't go so fast." He caught up and stopped Xiuyao and others in front, saying: "This lantern is for you to play with."

Xiuyao said coldly: "You can play by yourself, we don't care." Then she led Qin Yang and Xiuli away again.

Zhou Xiaopang caught up again and shouted: "Hey, why are you ignoring people like this, can't you play well?"

Qin Yang glared at him, "Who wants to play with you!"

Xiuyao looked at Zhou Xiaopang, this guy was beaten by Qi Feng that time, could it be that his brain was broken?Or is it because he was scared and became obedient?She said coldly: "Zhou Mu, we don't violate the water of the well. In order to avoid any unpleasant conflicts between the two families, you should avoid messing with us, lest your father come to play tricks again."

Zhou Mu said loudly: "My father can't, he knows he's wrong."

Xiuyao ignored him, and left with her younger siblings, Zhou Mu caught up again.Xiuyao didn't want to conflict with him, so as not to cause further unhappiness to the two families, she dragged Qin Yang and Xiuli away quickly.

Zhou Mu was spoiled since he was a child, and has a strong temper. Seeing that Xiuyao and Qin Yang didn't play with him, he insisted on following.Suddenly, he saw a person not far in front of him, looking over, his gaze was cold and cold, like the moon in early spring, with a chill in it.

Zhou Mu shivered involuntarily, as if he remembered something, he stopped in his tracks, but he was not reconciled, and stomped his feet angrily.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaopang didn't follow, Xiuyao breathed a sigh of relief and avoided a conflict. At this time, Qin Yang and Xiuli called out at the same time, "Brother Qi is here."

Xiuyao turned her head and saw Qi Feng standing under a pine and cypress tree, looking at them quietly. There was also a lantern on his head, and the orange halo enveloped him, making him look a little quiet and elegant The air is no longer so cold.

Seeing her looking over, he walked towards them.Xiuyao stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Are you dropping by again?"

Qi Feng glanced at her, paused, nodded, "Yes."

Qin Yang turned his head and looked around, "Where's your horse?"

Qi Feng said: "Outside the village, there is still something to do, just turn around and leave."

Qin Yang was a little disappointed, Qi Feng took out a small wooden horse from his arms, handed it to Qin Yang, and said, "This is for you."

Qin Yang took it happily, "It's a little wooden horse!" He held it up for Xiuyao to see. The little wooden horse was hand-carved. Although it wasn't painted, it was very charming, and it was still tied with a bridle. She couldn't help but smile. Wanwan, aligned with the wind: "What a beautiful pony, did you make it?"

Qi Feng nodded, "You asked me to help you find the saplings and grass seeds. They will be delivered in two days."

Xiuyao said happily: "I'm still thinking about it, thank you so much. By the way, I have a good idea of ​​how much it is in total."

Qi Feng pondered for a while and said: "I'll pay half of it, and you can pay three slings."

Three hanging money is already a lot for the Qin family, but Xiuyao also knows that those saplings are expensive. Trees such as ginkgo, black tallow, and tung tree are different from ordinary jujube trees and willows, so the price is naturally higher.

He paid half... Xiuyao hesitated, and said: "Well, can we pay slowly, or we should pay by ourselves, I can't ask for your money."

Qi Feng said: "It's not that I want my money, but I also want to do something, but I don't have time, so I will give you the money, and then I will share it when I make money."

Hearing what he said, Xiuyao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, but you have to bring the Wen Qi to press your fingerprints."

Qi Feng said: "Isn't there something at Grandpa Liu's place? Forget about the deed, anyway, you won't renege on your debt."

What he said was true, Xiuyao was eager to give him more, so as not to owe him too much favor.

Suddenly, Qin Yang raised his little hand, "Brother Qi Feng, I invite you to eat Fudou, which is made by my sister."

Xiuyao hurriedly said: "Little Yang, you can eat by yourself, brother doesn't eat children's things."

But Qi Feng said: "It's delicious." After saying that, he took it, thanked him, and ate a piece slowly, with a "crack".Qin Yang was giggling happily, and he and Xiuli both chewed and chewed.

Qi Feng asked her how Qin Ye's injury was recovering, and said: "I originally wanted to report a work-related injury for your eldest brother, but the superiors did not allow it, so it's not easy to force it."

Xiuyao hurriedly said: "It's already troublesome for you, my elder brother is much better, thanks to Sun Langzhong you brought, he sent us medicine, the medicine is really good, my elder brother's hand is almost healed. "

Qi Feng hummed, "Is the money enough? I have..."

"Enough is enough," Xiuyao waved her hand as if frightened, and said, "You have already joined the gang with the sapling's money, and you can no longer take your money for the others."

Seeing her frightened look, Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses, remembering what Sun Langzhong said, he couldn't help his face burning, but fortunately, it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.He clenched his fists, and his tone became a little blunt, "Then, you play, I'll go first."

Saying goodbye, waited for Xiuyao to say goodbye to him, he turned around and walked away quickly, regretting as he walked, he was really dizzy, this little girl is smart and sensitive, just let the tree seedling join the group, for no reason Asking to give money again without reason, she will be terrified.

Seeing him leave, Xiuyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if she felt relieved, meeting Qi Feng, for some reason, always felt a little nervous.It may be that he impressed her too deeply earlier, the blood on his face and the deep knife wound made it difficult for her to let go, always grateful and close with a little anxiety.
