Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 164

Xiuyao felt that if she was not afraid of [-] yuan, she was afraid of the eventuality. People who grow crops should be more careful about the weather. She asked her elder brother to deliver letters to her grandfather's house, and planted sweet potatoes later, lest the cold spring has not passed yet. One night, maybe it will last for two or three days.

Qin Ye came back and said that his grandfather was also planning to do that, and he wanted Liu Fei to come and tell them.

As a result, they guessed it right. It was cold for two days in a row, and the seeds planted a day or two before the cold spring were all frozen and rotted, and the villagers suffered losses to varying degrees.

The beet field at Xiuyao’s house was not well either, with varying degrees of frostbite, but fortunately, the number was small, and most of the sweet potato seedlings were left, which were only half of the beets. After two days, all the seeds would be sown. So it's not a big deal.The old Qintou's family suffered a great loss. He had been scrambling to plant peanuts for the past two days, but the seedlings rotted without accident. He was so angry that he fell down on the kang and sighed.

As the weather warmed up, Lao Liutou sent Liu Fei to drive a donkey cart to deliver a whole load of sweet potato seedlings, and to pick them up when there were not enough seedlings.Xiuyao put bundles of sweet potato seedlings that were not needed for the time being in a basket, and watered them regularly so that they would not dry out.Because the cold spring has been postponed for a few days, now I have to rush to plant sweet potatoes, and I have no time to do other things.However, Qin Dafu and Qin Ye didn't go to grandpa's house because of the old Qintou's cynicism and sarcasm towards Da Fang, and he was too busy to touch the ground. Old Qintou was secretly sullen because his son didn't come to visit, and he didn't allow anyone to tell him, so Nobody noticed it.

And Mrs. Zhang was also angry that the separation of the family not only turned the world upside down for Mrs. Liu, but also instigated her son to not kiss her.Xiuqin and Qin Ye's marriage, Xiuyao's going to Tuesday's house to be a girl, and Er Xian's study, these two things, she failed to intervene, and Liu's was even more distasteful. It would be better if the butler of the big room is brought over.Now that old Qin's head is ill, the third aunt advises her to keep quiet until the time comes, so Mrs. Zhang has no choice but to be patient.

Xiuyao simply asked her father to build a stove next to the small thatched hut in the self-cultivated field. A shed was built on top of it to keep out the wind and rain, and a chimney was installed so that they could cook in the field.

There is a round well next to the self-reclamation field, Qin Dafu and Qin Ye are in charge of lifting water, Xiuyao is still in charge of watering the pile, and Xiuqin is in charge of cooking.

While busy, Liu Fei drove over with a donkey cart. Xiuyao saw it and shouted in surprise: "Water cart!"

Everyone saw it, and hurried forward to carry the water truck. With this, there is no need to carry water.

Xiuyao said happily: "My grandpa is so kind, he always thinks about us, brother Xiaofei, have you all planted the land yet?"

Liu Fei smiled and said, "It's almost done. Grandpa thought you needed water for planting sweet potatoes, so he sent this cart of water to you as envoys."

The waterwheel was shared by the grandpa and the third grandpa's family, because it was for Xiuyao's family, so the third grandpa naturally had no objection, and he agreed as soon as Lao Liutou said it.

Xiuyao asked her father and the others to hurry up and carry the water truck to the well to try it out. Once the water truck was brought up, they could scoop it directly to water the pile.Everyone hurriedly lifted the waterwheel, installed the parts, and slowly put the waterwheel into the water.The waterwheel is more than three feet long, which is enough for the waterwheel.

Qin Dafu grabbed the handle, pushed and pulled with great force, the wiper blades rattled, and water splashed up and stayed in the ground.It was Qin Dafu's first time operating a waterwheel, he said with a smile, "It's really a good thing, our family will buy such a waterwheel in the future."

Qin Xian and the others were also curious, so they went over to try it out one after another, but the waterwheel was not so easy, if it was pedaled, it could use the weight of its body to step on the waterwheel, but if it was manual, it needed both hands, Xiuyao was not strong enough, Just watch.

She asked Liu Fei: "Brother Xiao Fei, do you want to go back today or stay for two days, and then take the water truck back after we plant the sweet potatoes?"

Liu Fei smiled and said, "My grandfather let me stay for two days."

Everyone was very happy, and Liu Shi hurriedly asked Xiuqin to cook, and everyone ate and continued to work.

Qin's family used a waterwheel to drive water, and built a stove in the field to cook, which also attracted everyone to watch the fun. Some even asked to dig a ditch in the field to let the water flow there so that they could use it.Qin Dafu never cared about this, so he naturally agreed.And there are also those who don't like other people's good things, say congratulations when they are watching the excitement, and then ridicule and slander them when they turn around.

With the help of Liu Fei and the water truck, the efficiency of planting sweet potatoes has increased several times, and a large field can be cultivated in one day.When returning home at night, Xiumei hurried over and shouted: "Uncle and Auntie, my mother told you to hurry over."

Qin Dafu asked her: "What's the matter?"

Xiumei got angry and rolled her eyes: "My grandpa is not well." After saying that, she ran away without another word.

Qin Dafu was so frightened that his legs went limp, he dropped the household item and ran home quickly, Liu Shi also hurriedly asked the children to pack up the household item and put it next to the grass shed, leaving Er Xian to watch, while the others went.

Liu Fei was also very anxious: "Second Aunt, let Erxian go to his house, I'll watch." His grandpa is not good, if he doesn't go, he will definitely be scolded by his mother.As soon as Liu Shi heard it right, she asked Liu Fei to take it first, and she took the children home.

A group of people hurried to Lao Qintou's house, and heard Lao Qintou coughing desperately on the kang, Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears there, and the second aunt and third aunt persuaded in front of the kang: "Father, let's find a doctor to take a look." .”

Seeing Qin Dafu's family coming, Qin Ergui stopped Qin Dafu in the main room, and said in a low voice, "Brother, our father is suffering from hysteria."

Qin Dafu rushed in anxiously: "Why?"

Qin Ergui explained in a low voice: "During the cold spring, some crops were blinded, and my father is holding back his anger."

Qin Dafu hurriedly asked: "Did you invite a doctor? Hurry up and ask someone to come and see."

Qin Ergui shook his head, "You don't know our father's temper. He was already blind and distressed, and if he asks a doctor to spend more money, he won't want to."

"Oh, old man, you can't leave us alone. You said you can't do it anymore, and the boss didn't come to see it. Although we separated, we are still a family. Oh, old man——" Zhang cried loudly. .

Qin Dafu hurried in, "Mother, I'm here, what's wrong with my father, hurry up and ask the doctor to take a look."

Mrs. Liu also went in and took a look at the kang. Old Qin was lying on the kang with his teeth closed, his eyes staring at the fence, looking like he was stupid.She was also taken aback: "Is Dad in a hurry? Find a doctor and get two injections."

"You said it lightly, two needles are enough, you can try it." Mrs. Zhang glared at her, and started crying again. While crying, she scolded Qin Dafu and Mrs. Liu, saying that her life was miserable.

Qin Dafu was heartbroken with guilt, and he said to Liu Shi, "Hurry up and ask Daye to invite Yang Langzhong from Fenghuangtun." Yang Langzhong is actually a barefoot doctor with little medical skills. Fang Zi, who knows how to use acupuncture and scraping therapy.However, there is no good doctor in the countryside, and it is far away and expensive to go to the county. For those peasants who are sick and rely on patience, they will not look for him unless they are seriously ill.

Mrs. Zhang shouted angrily: "What's the use of Liar Yang, if you want to hire a doctor from the county, you have to."

Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Zhang, and saw that although she was crying and wiping away her tears, she was not really sad. She seemed to be acting a lot, so she knew it in her heart, and she said: "Then invite the grandson who came last time Doctor, I just don’t know if he is willing to come to such a far place for a consultation, how will the consultation fee be calculated?”

Zhang's blood-red eyes stared at her, "Your father is going to die, and you still count this with me? Dare you really not your own father!"

As soon as Mrs. Liu heard her nonsense, she immediately ignored her, backed away, and stopped talking. Mrs. Zhang thought she was reluctant to pay for her father-in-law's medical treatment, so she started crying again, patting her thigh.

Qin San also curled his lips: "Brother, you are the only ones who have money now, but our mother can't afford to find a doctor. You can figure it out."

Qin Dafu felt uncomfortable being squeezed out by him, he was in a hurry, and he didn't have the heart to quarrel with his younger brother. He looked at Liu Shi, and went to invite the doctor if he wanted to talk, but Liu Shi pursed his lips and kept his face sullen, and didn't speak.

He hesitated for a while, and Mrs. Zhang became angry, "One or two of you, if you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, your father is going to die and you are still counting here." She jumped off the kang, "Anyway, your father can't do it anymore, I'm not alive anymore." Shouting, he rushed out.

Mrs. Liu subconsciously went to stop her, but she pulled her aside, and then Mrs. Zhang rushed out. Seeing this, the second and third aunts immediately dodged and let her rush out.Qin Ye was at the door of the main room, and when he saw this, he stretched out his hand to stop Mrs Zhang, Mrs Zhang rushed forward, causing Qin Ye to stagger, and immediately felt the pain in his right hand, so he couldn't help but withdrew his hand.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to sing at first, but when she saw Qin Ye suddenly withdrew her hand, she stood there in a daze. She didn't know whether to rush over or what, so she staggered, sat on the ground and slapped her. Get out and start crying.

Qin Dafu felt that something had messed up his viscera and felt that he was not filial, so he didn't care about anything else, so he hurried up to persuade her, saying that he would go to the county to invite a doctor.

"Daye, you and Liu Fei drove the donkey cart to invite the doctor." Qin Dafu called his son.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she immediately stopped her tears, with a sullen face and a stiff neck, "I don't have any money."

Qin Dafu gritted his teeth, "Mother, we will pay for this."

Mrs. Liu sneered and said, "Our family doesn't have this money either. We still owe Zhou Lizheng and the third master's family food." The money for selling blessing beans and gloves has nothing to do with them. Injustice too panic.Besides, father-in-law's illness is obviously not a serious illness, it's just because he was in a hurry to get angry, why is there any need to invite the doctor in the county?Don't they all suffer from illness?Her daughter fell into the river and wanted to invite a doctor, but the old woman was not happy, so why did they ask for a doctor when it was their turn?You have to hire someone from the county, and you have to pay for it from the big house.This is obviously for the big house's money, and it has nothing to do with the doctor. If it really fails, the doctor, no matter what, come and see it.

So when Liu saw Zhang's behavior, he knew that Old Qin was not in danger, but he was just making use of it.

Qin Dafu stomped his feet anxiously, "Then borrow it, if I borrow it, I will pay it back."

Xiuyao watched her grandfather sitting up and lying on the window to eavesdrop through the window, she couldn't help but said: "Father, where should we borrow it? To my grandma's house or my aunt's house? Or to Lizheng's house? Or to borrow it?" The doctor in the county of the usury family costs about two taels of silver for a round trip. How can we have it in our family? The money we sell gloves is paid to the second brother to borrow and study."

Qin Dafu was stunned by Xiuyao's words. Seeing that his father was seriously ill and his mother was suffering so much, he also had angina, so he thought of quickly inviting a doctor to come, and he didn't care what money he borrowed.Xiuyao's moist and clear eyes fixed on him, reminding him all the time that the family has been separated, so this kind of matter should be resolved by their second and third spouses, not the eldest one?Furthermore, it is okay for the big house to bear it, and each of the three families pays a share, not just the big house.

The last time my grandfather was ill, he was reluctant to spend a little money to get medicine, but it turned out to be very procrastinating. It was my grandfather who paid a doctor to show him.

This time he repeated the old trick, this is to force the big house to submit.

When Mrs. Zhang saw that Xiuyao dared to interrupt, she immediately jumped up and said, "You are a bad-hearted little hoof, without your grandfather, where would you be? Your grandfather is very ill. What's the matter with spending two of your money?" Come and fight Xiuyao.

Xiuyao is not seven years old now, so she easily dodges and sneers: "Mommy, I'm just telling the truth, if my grandpa is seriously ill, none of you will go to hire a doctor and you won't do anything. Just sit around on the kang and pretend to cry for nothing? Could it be that my grandfather is sick and it’s just my father’s business? You have nothing to do with it. Who doesn’t have tears? Grandpa, even if you lose your fortune, you should see a doctor instead of blaming this and that."

As soon as she entered the door and saw Zhang's aggressive behavior, she got angry. The old woman really thought everyone else was a fool. If grandpa really thought that he was so sick, would she still be singing here?The family has been separated, she doesn't take care of the second aunt and the third aunt, but spends all day thinking about taking care of the eldest son and eldest son's wife who have been purged, why!
My mother dare not disobey her as a daughter-in-law, and I shouldn't have been a granddaughter, but I have old grudges with her, so I have to say it if I don't say it is unpleasant!
Besides, she earned more than half of Dafang's money, so why didn't she say it?Why let dad use it to fill in the hole here?This is a bottomless pit. Once Mrs. Zhang gets a taste of the sweetness, she will endlessly look for opportunities to ask for money from Dafang. At that time, will you give it?
One has two!
If you can get the money from the big house, it means that you want to intervene in the big house's housework and give it to the big house as the housekeeper.If Mrs. Zhang succeeds, she will have to take care of the big house's money, and she will have the final say on the big house's affairs, such as the marriage of brothers and sisters.What is the difference between this separation and no separation?
Why should my mother be aggrieved?
She would never allow the fruits of her hard work to be taken away by this old woman who belittled her life, trampled on her personality, and hurt her body!
Never allow it!

Not even a grandma with her body!
