Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 14

Yiyou took Changsheng by the hand, and under the oppressive gaze of the second uncle, followed behind and listened quietly.Her grandma is really a headache.

Shen Fuxiang has long been used to his mother's disgust, but he is a little numb.At this moment, he stands in front of the firewood gate and argues vigorously: "Mother's kindness... I already know. We will collect the three pennies before the autumn harvest, but this cart can't be given to you now."

"Fourth brother, it's not that second brother is forcing you. Other things are easy to handle. You really can't leave this matter to your family. To build a new ethnology, build a house, buy tables, chairs and benches, and hire a teacher from the county. What big and small things are there? You can’t use money for one item. If everyone is like you, stuck at the end, I’m afraid we won’t be able to do ethnology until the Chinese New Year in the twelfth lunar month.”

Seeing that her husband was silent, Mrs. Li took a step forward and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't be ashamed of our family. We have neglected all the big and small things in the Shen family over the years. I'm not boasting. At the end of last year, we sold everything , Didn’t I also buy the bird’s nest that my mother wanted to eat.”

Shen Fuhai raised his forehead: "Fourth brother and sister, I'm not talking about you. You're a woman, so it's better not to interrupt when you talk."

Yiyou poked his father's waist from behind, Shen Fuxiang was stunned and continued: "Second brother, it's just like what Yunniang said. It's been so many years, you still can't trust my brother. Within two months, I will definitely get the money together , will not delay your effort."

Yiyou summed up silently, [-] episodes a month.Selling steamed stuffed buns in each episode, if you count less, you can get a net loss of [-] yuan, and you can earn [-] yuan in two months.It's more than enough to collect three pennies.

"Fourth brother, this is not something that the second brother can believe alone. The family is waiting to use the money, and mother hopes that the ethnology will be established as soon as possible. Forget it, I can't talk to you, let mother tell you."

After speaking, Shen Fuhai turned around and was about to leave. Judging by his posture, it seemed that he wanted to ask the old lady to move to their courtyard.

"Father, mother, there is no reason to let the elders come over. Before we sit down, let's go and ask grandma to rest."

As soon as she reminded her, Li Shi and Shen Fuxiang reacted instantly.Although Changsheng was a little reluctant, but the matter was brought up by his sister, he just pouted and hugged his sister's thigh, not twisting and naughty like other times.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "That's just right, let's go along with my second brother."

Shen Fuxiang quickly locked the door, tugged at the bolt, and after confirming that it was secure again and again, he looked at his second brother thoughtfully.

Yiyou covered her mouth, this meaningful look could be interpreted directly as guarding against thieves.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the neighbor's child lying beside the woodpile, and she hurriedly said hello.

"Shunzi, Sister Erya's family has to go out. If you have nothing to do, help look at the yard."

Taking out the cloth bag, she took out a piece of caramel.During the Chinese New Year, she hated being dirty, so she didn't eat it after sharing it.I took it to the market today, and I was going to use it to coax longevity.I never thought that buying sliced ​​cakes was useless, and this happened to come in handy.

"Here, this is for you. If any stranger approaches, you watch from a distance, write it down and tell Elder Sister Erya."

Shunzi took it over and nodded: "Sister Erya, I'm definitely optimistic about it!"

Shen Fuhai was frustrated after repeated unfavorable assignments, and now no matter how stupid he is, he knows who this family is targeting.As the eldest son of the Shen family, the next patriarch of the clan, he has been a star-studded existence since he can remember.

"What is the fourth brother doing, the folks in the village are still on guard."

Yiyou laughed teasingly and said: "Second Uncle, niece just mentioned it casually, there is really no other meaning. If you want to do something and feel uncomfortable being seen, niece can let Shunzi go."

Shen Fuhai said angrily: "Fourth brother, look at this child, he is really outspoken."

Mrs. Li blocked Yiyou from behind: "Erya, mother taught you not to talk less in front of outsiders. Second brother, don't mind, this child is too honest, following Fuxiang's stubborn temperament, Say what."

Yiyou clenched Changsheng's little hand tightly, so she didn't laugh out loud.Why didn't she realize that her mother could talk like that before.Er Bo's face at Kai Dyefang really makes people happier the more they look at it.

"Mom, let's go. If it's later, I'm afraid it will delay grandma's nap."

Mrs. Li answered: "Second brother, please go ahead."

The two women looked at each other and smiled, Yiyou patted Shunzi's head, and led Changsheng forward.

The spring is getting stronger, and if you don't come out for a few days, the willow buds on the treetops will turn into leaves, and the greenness of Yunlin Village seems to be deeper.

Walking along the creek all the way to the east of the village, Yiyou saw a child in the distance.Slightly taller than Changsheng, he was treading water in the stream with his trousers rolled up.

Mrs. Li recognized it first, "Isn't that the youngest son of the Mu family in the neighboring village?"

Yiyou took a closer look, and clenched her fingers tightly.In her previous life, she had only seen two sides of this child. She had a tiger head and a tiger brain, and she sweetly called her Er Yajie every time.

Later, she was blinded by wealth, and under Cheng's instigation, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself after retiring, and never saw him again.Later, I only heard his father who came to see him mention it once in a while, that Mu Ran took his younger brother away from home without a trace.

When she was young, she might have thought that wandering around the rivers and lakes was a chic and comfortable thing.But their brothers have no property, one big and one small, two rough men, and no elders to take care of them, so the first days are probably similar to those of the refugees during the war in previous years.

Thinking of this, her heart tightened, after all, it was her fault.Although everything has not started yet, there are some things she cannot forget.Raising her head, she asked Li Shi: "I vaguely remember that this child is called Brother Yu."

Mrs. Li nodded after thinking for a while: "It is indeed a single name with a word "Yu". Died on the battlefield. Such a young child has a bad reputation of being obsessed with his father and mother. Fortunately, his brother came back alive, and he can finally take care of him."

The same situation aroused Li Shi's sympathy. It was the first time for Yiyou to hear the complete past of the Mu family in two lifetimes.Feeling more guilty, she let go of Changsheng and walked towards the stream.

Sensing that someone was coming, the child treading water raised his head: "Who are you? Oh, I know you. You are the second sister who Brother Huzi said is very good-looking!"

In the ten miles and eight villages around Yunlin Village, there are eight if not ten children named Huzi, and Yiyou doesn't care too much.She stared straight at the child in front of her. His clothes were very shabby, one stitch was long and the other was short. At a glance, she knew that he was a wild child without mother's control.

"Why are you here."

Mu Yu lowered his head and rubbed the corner of his clothes, with a lonely expression on his face: "I kept walking, and I came here before I knew it."

Yiyou suddenly remembered what he had heard in his previous life. He had an ominous reputation and was thin and small. Several older children in the neighboring villages always bullied him.Judging by the dirt on his clothes, he probably escaped here by beating all the way.

Stretching out her hand, she took out two pieces of caramel: "I'll give you the candies."

Mu Yu swallowed, and shook his head resolutely: "My brother said that you can't take other people's things casually, sister Erya, you should give it to Changsheng."

Changsheng rushed forward, snatched the candy, pouted and said, "The candy belongs to my sister, so you can't give it to anyone other than Changsheng."

Shen Fuxiang and Shen Fuhai walked in front, not paying attention to the movement behind them.Mrs. Li followed up and broke Changsheng's little hand: "Changsheng sees how sensible the brother of the Mu family is. Brother Yu, let's eat, your brother helped our family at the market today."

Mu Yu opened his eyes wide: "Really?"

Yiyou nodded and said with a smile: "It's true, your brother is amazing, he caught the bad guy who spread the rumors in one fell swoop."

Hearing that his elder brother is powerful, Mu Yu was even happier than getting candy.Stepping on the shoes, he took the candy: "Then thank you, auntie, thank you sister Erya. Changsheng, let's eat a piece of cake, shall we?"

Changsheng took it awkwardly, peeled off the oil paper and swallowed it, smiling happily.

Taking the initiative to hold Mu Yu's hand, he narrowed his eyes and enjoyed it: "It's delicious."

A piece of candy made the two brothers reconcile quickly, and Yiyou watched from the side, full of emotion.How confused she was in her previous life to fail to see the goodness of these people.It is true that they do not have a good appearance and cannot afford to wear fine clothes, but they are simple and kind.This alone is thousands of times better than those painted skin beauties in the mansion gate.

"Changsheng, you stay here to play with brother Mu's family, and wait for sister to come back and make flower rolls for her to eat."

Mrs. Li has fully adapted to her daughter's kindness, and Chang Sheng also took the opportunity to ask: "I want a little tiger."

"Okay, just play in our village, don't run too far."

Putting down the two little guys, Yiyou took Li Shi's hand, and the mother and daughter continued to drive towards the clan.

Looking back at the two little brothers who were treading water together, she smiled knowingly: "Mother, these brothers from the Shen family, being led by Chunsheng from the second uncle's family, are a little bit against Changsheng."

"That's true. I think Brother Yu is good. Changsheng must learn from him."

Li's hand was held, Yiyou said again: "Brother Mu's family is patrolling the market today, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back at noon. Mom, why don't I make an extra flower roll and let Brother Yu come to our house to eat at noon? "

"Row."

The two reached an agreement, and Yiyou let go of the guilt in her heart.The mistakes of the previous life have been made, and now there is no way to talk about it, she can only secretly try to make up for it by herself.

While talking about the two mothers also arrived in front of the Shen family's ancestral house, and came again after two days, Yiyou was not at all relaxed.Her grandma is an extremely difficult old lady.

Even with the Chen family's several years of experience in house fighting, it seems that her soft knives are useless when dealing with this kind of person who is always crying.
