Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 40

I don't know how long it took, and when it got dark, Lao Qintou and the others returned home. Mrs. Zhang led Xiurong and had already prepared the meal. As soon as Lao Qintou got home, he asked how the child was doing.

Mrs. Zhang immediately said loudly: "What can she do? Her mother brought her back and ate two fried eggs as soon as she got home. Her mother is watching over her. It's okay, it's okay! Don't worry about it." She said this as if What to cover up so that others won't see it.

Although it is said that a mother-in-law has absolute control over her daughter-in-law and can divorce her for various reasons, that is not for a family like the Qin family, and it also depends on who cares more about both parties.

If the old Qin's family is going to divorce Second Aunt, Second Aunt is afraid, so naturally she has to be obedient.

But now Mrs. Liu asked her to come down, and Mrs. Zhang felt that it was not worth it. First, Mrs. Liu had seven children and the eldest daughter had a very good relationship, and besides the matter of Xiuyao, the eldest daughter-in-law was also very obedient. In his own words, it would not be worthwhile to divorce her.

Moreover, the Liu family's family situation is better now, and they can help the Qin family from time to time, which is better than those of the two daughters-in-law's natal families. Now that the Liu family has divorced, and the eldest son has no wife, no one in such a family is willing to continue.

After all kinds of thinking, Mrs. Zhang felt that Mrs. Liu couldn't give up. Of course, she also admitted that she was a little reluctant. Changing her daughter-in-law was not as good as Mrs. Liu's, just look at the second and third family.

However, Mrs. Liu is also very problematic. The biggest problem is that although she is gentle and kind on weekdays, she dares to confront her face-to-face at critical moments. Difficult to deal with.

Now that the old man came back and asked, Mrs. Zhang immediately explained loudly, which was another way to give Mrs. Liu an explanation.She hoped that the incident would be over in a while, the girl had already eaten the eggs, and Liu Shi had vented her anger at her mother-in-law, so if this is the case, then don't mention the divorce letter that was mentioned before.

Don't bring it up for discussion in front of the whole family, and to be angry in private is to be angry, and you don't have to get angry and let the whole family follow along.

Liu Shi could naturally understand her mother-in-law's meaning when she heard it, and of course she would be reluctant to part with each other.These years with Qin Dafu, the two of them have never blushed, and the most important thing is that there are so many children, saying that the separation is just to use the courage of breaking the boat to squeeze the mother-in-law to make her back down.

What she bet is that her mother-in-law dare not and is not willing to divorce her.

In the next step, her plan will be easy to follow. She can't always let her child live in aggrieved and do more work. No matter what, she can't get Zhang's love and pity.

But the separation of the family is not something that can be done with just a few sentences. The father-in-law vowed to wait for his death if he wants to separate the family.He is still very healthy now, so if we want to separate the family, we can only do it step by step, there is no rush.

Qin Dafu and a few children went into the house to see Xiuyao. At this time, Xiuyao also woke up. She rubbed her eyes, looked at her family members who cared about her, and smiled sweetly at them, "I ate eggs and slept for a long time. Sleep."

Qin Dafu lamented that he was a child after all, no matter how big it was, he would just sleep on it, but if he was an adult, he would have to seek death and life.

And Xiuyao also knows that she can't change the reality of being born in the Qin family, and she didn't wash out Zhang's brain all at once, so she can only work hard to find a way to separate the family, and then find a way to make her own family rich .

She felt that her father, mother, brother, sister, and brother really loved her, and she couldn't deny them to abandon them just because of Mrs. Zhang, so the plan to poison Mrs. Zhang was just a momentary thought in her mind. When she woke up, the pain was relieved. , The murder plan was left behind.

However, the grudge against Zhang has also taken root, and I'm afraid it will linger for the rest of her life. After all, she is not a real child, and as time goes by, she will dilute some things.She is an adult soul, and that kind of suspicion will follow her everywhere, but she warned herself to cover it up so that no one can see it, otherwise it will be of no benefit to her and her family.

During dinner, Mrs. Zhang lay in Xili's room and did not come out. Old Qintou knew that she was a little embarrassed and got angry, so he asked the children to leave her alone and let her go for the time being.The old woman is like this, the more you talk to her, the more she will get excited, and if you leave her alone, she will feel that something is wrong and meaningless, then if you go to coax her again, a few words will basically disappear.

Because of Zhang's anger, Lao Qin's face was basically sullen, and the second aunts didn't dare to make trouble. They hurried to rest after eating, and they had to work tomorrow.

Who knew that it started to rain at night, and it started to rain, and then it became heavier and heavier, and it actually fell all night.In the morning of the second day, the sky cleared up, but it was still chilly, and the air was very humid, which made people feel that it was no longer so dry, but moist, and the air was very fresh.

Old Qin ran out to have a look as soon as he came, and shouted: "It's wet, it's wet." Then he said to Qin Dafu who came out of the house quickly: "Come on, let's go to the field to see. Look, if it’s not muddy, start plowing and plant cotton quickly, and then you have to plant fruits and sorghum.” Qin Ye also came out, and the three of them went to see it together, and then came back happily.

After breakfast, Qin Ergui and Qin Sanshun were arranging farm tools, seeds, and inspecting livestock.The cattle rented from the official house happened to be the Qin family's turn these days. It rained and was very cheap, so everyone was very happy, which meant that the crops could be planted earlier and they could rest for a while.

Qin Sanshun laughed haha, "Father, let's go to plant cotton on the southern hillside, and finish planting that one first."

Old Qin frowned, snorted heavily, and said nothing. Qin Sanshun touched his nose and made himself ashamed, but he didn't understand what was going on.

Qin Ye reminded: "Sandada, the beans planted on the south hillside last year, the bean stubble field does not grow cotton, and the cotton is stiff."

Xiuyao happened to come out of the field, and when she heard it, she thought to herself: I didn’t expect that they all knew about crop rotation. Although I am a modern person working as a technical consultant on a farm and know one set of theories after another, to be honest, there are many of them who don’t understand crop rotation at all. I haven't done it before, and the connection between theory and practice is limited to that area. I have to study carefully and study the characteristics of crops in this era and region. After all, modern crops and conditions are not comparable to this era. Relying on a set of theories wants to eat all over the world.

It's like modern doctors who went to ancient times, they might not be able to do anything. How could there be so many technical support test sheets in ancient times, but most modern doctors have left the test sheets, how many of them really know how to see a doctor?It's just memorizing some theories like her, and then practice makes perfect.

So she has to work hard and study more in order to better integrate theory with practice.

Seeing her come out, Qin Ye asked with a smile: "little sister, why did you get up so early? You don't need to water it when it rains, you can just rest at home."

Her cheeks were still swollen, and there were a few bruises, which seemed to be irreversible for a while.

Xiuyao smiled and said, "I don't want to stay at home, I want to farm with my grandfather."

When Old Qintou heard this, he was very happy. Girls in Old Qin's family didn't like to go to the field so much. He smiled and took out the cigarette bag and pot, "Girl, come and pack a bag for Grandpa."

Xiuyao immediately stepped forward to take it, filled the cigarette casually, and handed it to him, then drew the fire scythe with a fire king, put it on the cigarette pot, and let Lao Qintou take a couple of puffs.

After taking two puffs, the incense came out. Lao Qin squinted his eyes in satisfaction, clicked his mouth twice, glanced at the fire king in Xiuyao's hand, and said in surprise: "Girl, where did that thing come from?" ? Your grandfather gave it to you?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "That's not true, I did it myself."

Old Qintou was surprised and said, "You can still do it?" Hearing this, several people from Qinye came forward curiously to see that the fire king is really good.

The tinder of the old Qin’s family is made by themselves. It is dried with wormwood picked in May, and then stored in a jar. It is picked every year, and every year, it is taken out a few years ago and smashed to make moxa. Excellent kindling material, better than those sold outside.

Mrs. Zhang also often puts them in the small gourds grown by her family as gifts, especially for those who are not short of food and clothing, and they think it is very delicate.

This is the traditional method of the Qin family, while the fire king is the habit of the old Liu family. Old Liu likes to use the fire king when he smokes pipes.

Xiuyao smiled and said: "This thing is actually very simple, it's our stick meat."

One word awakened the people in the dream, and several people laughed, "We didn't pay attention to such a simple thing, and I always wanted to ask your grandpa." Old Qintou always wanted to ask, but he didn't have the nerve to ask, but now it's easy up.The old Qin's family has always used their own moxa, which is better than other families. The second mother and others are envious, so Zhang is proud of it, and doesn't want to get anything else to replace it. It must be at home. Cutting mugwort and beating mugwort has become a habit after so many years.

"Using this to smoke, it saves velvet, and it's easy, but it's not good for lighting a fire." Old Qintou fiddled.

Xiuyao took out a pair of neat chopstick-length Huowang and handed it to Old Qintou, "Grandpa is here for you, and I will make it for you when you run out." Old Qintou happily took it, and moved it into the house. Put away the cigarette case.

When Mrs. Zhang saw it, she snorted, "A few tappets will buy you off."

Old Qin took a look at her, and said slowly: "Da Ye Niang, what did I tell you yesterday?"

Zhang's face sank, and she said quickly: "If you can say anything, just say fry eggs for the girl."

Old Qin curled his lips, he didn't believe it, he didn't know the old lady?How many years have been a couple, it's strange not to know.Can she fry eggs for a girl without stopping?I don't even want to fall into the river.

Mrs. Zhang glanced sideways, "Don't play tricks on me, you have the ability to figure out all the mess at home."

Old Qintou was surprised and said: "What's the bad thing? Isn't it clear and clear? Everyone is doing what, it's clear, what else are you doing?"

Mrs. Zhang took a look outside, and said with a sneer, "Arguing about breaking up the family? Didn't you hear such a big commotion?"

Old Qin shook his head, "I'm not as good as your ears. I'm a little deaf. Hmph, let's separate the family. Let's talk about it after I die. I'll see who of them can bear the crime of forcing father-in-law to death."

Mrs. Zhang curled her lips and said, "Second daughter-in-law, you've been muttering and babbling all day, didn't you hear me?"

Old Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was the eldest daughter-in-law, what is the second daughter-in-law afraid of, let the second son talk about her."

Mrs. Zhang curled her lips, "Who can I control now? Can I still take care of this family?"

Old Qintou sighed, and persuaded: "Old lady, tell me, you might as well let the old master be in charge."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her hair almost stood on end, and she looked like she was going to eat an old man, "You old man, you are killing a donkey, you, I have worked hard all my life, and I have not been paralyzed on the kang and cannot move. That's how you want people to torment me."

Old Qintou saw that she was being messed up again, and he couldn't take it anymore, "Get it, get it, I won't be stubborn with you anymore, anyway, you take care of family affairs, I don't care so much."

After finishing speaking, he exhorted: "Tell the children, we don't mess with the family on Tuesday, but if they come to mess with us, we won't be afraid. What if they are doing well now? Back then we were better than them. In 30 years in Hedong For 30 years in Hexi, the rich are no more than three, and the poor are no more than three, so it’s impossible for our old Qin’s family to be like this for the rest of their lives.”

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "If it really gets better, that's fine, but where are these three things? Whether I can still live to see it is another matter."

Old Qin said: "Don't pick and search all day long, it will be much better."

Mrs. Zhang saw that he started to scold her for being unhappy again, so she pushed him, "Go to the ground quickly."

Old Qin walked out with a cigarette and a hand behind his back.
