Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 10

The second uncle is a hale and hearty old man. Although he has passed his destiny and his hair is half gray, he still insists on working in the fields every day.In his words: "An old bone will rust faster when it is idle, it is better to come out and move around."

Right now he is wearing a patched green shirt, and his black cloth shoes are still stained with mud. The muddy legs he hated most in his previous life are now very kind in Yiyou's eyes.

Seeing the kerosene lamp in the night from afar, the second uncle yelled out in a slightly old voice: "Changsheng knocked on my door before dawn, what is the matter?"

Yiyou stood at the door, glanced at the second uncle and his wife, and muttered to himself: "It's still dark."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be fine, and stood beside her parents, pointing at her.She wasn't sure about her father's temperament, but her mother's words just now made her look with admiration.For this family, they will definitely stand up.

Mrs. Li understood that the rescue was brought in by her daughter, and she stepped forward to support her second uncle: "This family needs to organize an ethnology study, and our family can't afford the money for the time being. When Fuxiang and I talked together, we wanted to do it." Let’s make a living and get the money together as soon as possible. Before the opening, I want to invite the second uncle with the highest seniority in the clan to have a glass of water and wine to celebrate the festival and auspiciousness.”

Yiyou gave her mother a thumbs up in her heart, no matter whether she was justified or not, those who take the initiative to provoke things will always leave a strong and vitriolic impression on people.The dispute just now was not small, and the second uncle is not deaf and blind, so he must be aware of it.Mother's humility and generosity preceded Cheng's half of the reasons.

It's good that the Cheng family doesn't stop them, so that their family's goal can be achieved, and they can go to the market to sell buns with peace of mind.If she dared to stop her, she would be ignorant of good and bad, and she would make them feel overwhelmed by then.

The second uncle laughed and said, "This is a good thing, don't waste your time."

The wine was placed in the kitchen, and Yiyou brought three small bowls, filled them up and placed them in front of the three strong men.Smiling like a flower: "Second Uncle, please."

Cheng really wanted to keep calm, but the dull pain on her tailbone and the pride of her fourth brother's family challenged her nerves all the time.Seeing that her second uncle was about to drink to the brim, and the matter of the opening was soon settled, she couldn't care about anything else.

"Second uncle, our family has something to do today, so we just use these buns to greet people."

The second uncle was puzzled: "The clan uses steamed stuffed buns?"

Shen Fuhai stepped forward: "That's what happened. I plan to settle the matter of ethnology today, and I have already found someone to notify all uncles and brothers. Time is running short, and everyone will have steamed stuffed buns at noon."

The second uncle suddenly realized: "So that's the case, but you did not do it properly in Fuhai's case. The things belong to the fourth family, and you can't just let them out just because of your sudden whim. We, the Shen family, have to be reasonable. We are a family." People, we should help each other when things happen, and Fuxiang should think more about your second brother."

The second uncle is senior, no one dares to refute his words.Yiyou nodded while listening, this upright old man has always been right about things and wrong about others.No matter how they behaved, it was impossible for him to favor their family.But what she wants now is that he doesn't favor Shen Fuhai and Cheng Shi.

"Fourth brother, it's the second brother who has become a little impatient. I'm here to apologize to you. But we can't delay the affairs of our clan. Look now."

Shen Fuxiang avoids his bow, and now it seems that what he said is wrong.Yiyou sees everything in her eyes, Erbo and Cheng are really a piece of meat, since they are not kind, don't blame her for being unrighteous.

Lifting the cage cloth, the buns were neatly stacked inside, and Yiyou held one of them and walked to the middle: "I was busy just now, and my parents didn't have time to talk. The clan meeting is a big event for the Shen family, and it's not appropriate to use these buns here. .”

"What's wrong?"

"Look, everyone, these steamed stuffed buns are not made of white flour. No matter what, the Shen family can't let everyone eat corn noodles."

It was dark just now, and it was not clear to see things under the kerosene lamp.Now that the sky is bright, everyone looked at it intentionally, the steamed stuffed bun noodles were well-rising, and they were still steaming just out of the pan.It's just that the skin is yellowish, not the bright color that white noodles should have.

Cheng's face changed, she faintly felt that she had fallen into the trap of this family.Counting all the things from coming in to the present, it seems that she is pressing every step of the way, but in fact she didn't take advantage of it at all.She had a hunch that she would suffer a big loss today.

"My parents know about the difficulties of the second uncle. You have always been so kind to me, and now I am anxious. I have a way. I don't know if I should say it or not."

Cheng subconsciously said, "What do you know as a child?"

Yiyou walked over and took her hand affectionately: "Second aunt always treats me like a child and hurts me. I have grown up and know many things. I think this method must be useful."

The more affectionate she was, the more uncomfortable Cheng felt.Resisting her nausea, she took her arm, and she winked at Li Shi, who understood: "Ah, your second aunt loves you so much, what's the best way to tell her and make her happy."

Chang Sheng followed suit: "Sister is the most powerful, tell me quickly and listen."

"Mother, Changsheng, the second aunt will definitely be happy. Our buns are no good. Uncle Cheng's house in the neighboring village does not sell white buns. The buns are delicious, and they are perfect for entertaining people."

Having a bad premonition experience, Cheng looked at her gray body, and finally couldn't keep the smile on her face.Woke up in the middle of the night, helped others with half a day's white work, but finally cheated her own brother.Things have evolved to this point, it is really a lost wife and a broken army.

"His steamed stuffed bun is really hard to be elegant. Besides, it's too late to look for him at this time."

There is no turning back when you open the bow. Since Yiyou said it today, she didn't want to hold it high and put it down gently: "Look at how humble the second aunt is. Uncle Cheng's buns are thin and full of stuffing. One bite is fragrant, and eating one is delicious." If you want a second one, it tastes better. Besides, it’s not yet dawn, so he must not be on the road yet. He stopped by our Yunlin Village on the way to the market, so he can save a trip.”

The second uncle, who had been listening all the time, came to his senses, and there was something he didn't understand after living for 50 years.The second child's family has gone too far in the past few years, and the sister-in-law's heart is out of control. Fortunately, the fourth child can bear it.It's not easy for this kid, but it's just selling a bun, and it's not such a big deal, so there's nothing he can do to stop him.

Picking up the water and wine, he drank it all in one gulp: "I think Erya's proposal is good. Our Shen family has always been hospitable, and we have to use white buns to greet people. Fu Hai, go and do it. I'll call Fu Rui to order buns."

After finishing speaking, he patted Shen Fuxiang on the shoulder: "Work hard, we all know your love for the clan."

Shen Fuxiang picked up the big bowl and did it to the end: "Second Uncle, my nephew would like to lend you a good word."

Having said that, it couldn't be more clear.Even if Cheng Shi was unwilling in every possible way, he could only feel bored in his heart.

Yiyou stood at the door of the house and followed the three of them out.When she came to the door, Cheng turned her head and gave her a gouged look, that look seemed to be poisoned, and contained infinite resentment.

Within three days, this look was the second time she saw it.Thinking of Cheng's ability to win people's hearts and endless tricks in her previous life, she acted cleverly, and instantly woke up from the complacency of victory.There is still a long way to go, she is not afraid of anyone, but she cannot take it lightly.

Taking advantage of the early morning, Shen Fuxiang pushed into the car, and the family of four rushed to the market five miles away.The Dai Viet royal family has half of the Hu people's blood, and the folk customs are a bit rough compared to the previous dynasty, and there are fewer restraints on women.Yiyou and Li Shi, a Yunying unmarried girl and a woman, can go to the streets in a fair manner without too much concealment.

"Sister, look over there, that person's mouth will burst into flames."

Changsheng was very excited all the way. In less than four days, he had already forgotten the unhappiness of the past and accepted this gentle sister wholeheartedly.

"Changsheng, don't run around, be careful of kidnappers."

Yiyou walked in the middle, she changed into a half-new blue calico dress, her thick bangs blocked her bright apricot eyes.By Li Shi's side, she is just an ordinary village girl.

After living a new life, she understood that without enough skills, beauty is a disaster rather than a blessing.The eldest lady is indeed not beautiful, but she can make her die without a place to bury her in the blink of an eye.The bully in the story book should not have too much love for Meijiao Niang, she has seen it with her own eyes in her previous life.

Seeing such a daughter, Mrs. Li felt a little distressed: "This child, mother is here."

Holding Li Shi's hand back, she waved away the complicated emotions, there is nothing wrong with being a low-key person.Turning her head, she raised a bright smile: "The Cheng family probably won't come today, it's easier for us to open."

"That is, thanks to Erya this time."

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt are really deceiving people too much. I used to be confused..." After saying this, she glanced back, her father was pushing the cart, and her brows were furrowed.

Yiyou took a step back and stood side by side with him: "Father, we are a family, so we shouldn't hide anything. My daughter will tell you what's on her mind right now: after so many years, it's not enough for you and me." Mother understands. In the past, I was confused and ran over by myself to be manipulated by others, but I won’t do it in the future, father and mother should stop being so soft-tempered and let them do their best, okay?”
