Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 40

Before Mu Ran could say anything, he saw two red clouds rising from the face of the girl opposite.That color is very similar to the wild fruit he separated for the two little guys at home just now.

Thinking of what the brothers in the clan said, is it true that a girl's face is more delicious than a mountain fruit?
"Changsheng, it's too late, go home with my sister."

Yiyou lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, her expression had returned to normal.In fact, in the two lives, she is not the kind of delicate girl who is ashamed to see others.Mu Ran discovered that she made a fool of herself a few times, and now she simply has too many lice and doesn't itch.

"Well, Brother Mu Ran, I'll go back with my sister first."

"Thank you for taking care of my younger brother."

Yiyou took out a handkerchief from her bosom, on which were two monkey-shaped sticky candies.This kind of sugar is made by boiling honey into syrup, cooling it and pouring it into molds.

Honey is precious, but it is even more expensive when it is boiled into sugar.Usually you don't see it in fairs, but thanks to going to the fair in the county town today, she bought some and brought them back to coax Changsheng.

"Thank you, Sister Erya."

Mu Yu took it, and Mu Ran refused at first if the Shen family wanted to send something small, but he got used to it.

"Sister, what about mine?"

"Just know how to eat, you glutton."

Taking out another piece, Yiyou put it directly into his mouth, and the siblings walked back.Turning the corner, Hu Zi was no longer there.

"Sister, why are you so nice to Mu Yu?"

Why did Changsheng ask this?

"I was playing at Mu Yu's house all day today, and I heard someone say that my sister is so kind to Mu Yu because she likes that Brother Mu Ran is a government servant and can help our family do business."

Who was talking nonsense in front of the child, that's what Yiyou was angry with.Because of her premature departure in the previous life, although Chang Sheng was mischievous, he matured earlier than ordinary children.

But she always believes that a child should be like a child, carefree.These calculations among adults cannot contaminate their innocent hearts.

So even though Bao Baozi was too tired to lift her arms, she would use the utmost patience to pinch Changsheng and Mu Yu's favorite flower rolls for children.Even though she was lying on the bed and wanted to fall asleep immediately, she would still tell her little brother the enlightenment stories she heard in the Chen Mansion every night.

"That's not the case, Changsheng, it depends on the fate between people. My sister likes Mu Yu just like she likes you, so I have to treat you well."

Chang Sheng nodded half-understood: "Is this what adults call friends?"

"Well, they are friends. You are still young, you just need to have fun with the person you like."

"I listen to my sister."

Facing the setting sun, she stretched her face.Dad has suffered from not having the support of relatives and friends all his life, and there is only one child in his family. Now he is slowly making friends, and when he grows up, he will have someone to help him when he encounters problems.

Tomorrow there will be no market, the whole family will sit under the willow tree in the yard to enjoy the shade after dinner.

"What's Er Ya doing again?"

Yiyou raised the needle in her hand: "To make cakes for Mrs. Xiancheng, you have to put them in a special box. Dad, you have to polish the wooden box these few days."

"what?"

The whole family was taken aback, and she slowly explained: "The Chen family is not an ordinary family, food is of course important, and the box in which the food is packed should also not have the slightest flaw.

Choose high-quality wood, exquisite carving, and then match it with unique pattern embroidery, and then reconcile the color of food.Only by presenting it in this way can he be liked by that person. "

Mrs. Li stammered a little: "Just a box of dim sum, did you spend so much effort?"

"My mother can see that the high-ranking officials in the city have food, clothing and shelter. Those rich and noble families come out with a maid, and don't expect the wife of the county magistrate to dress luxuriously. The things used by the Lord are even more luxurious than we can imagine. My daughter is incompetent, so I can only try my best." Lean up there."

The couple were silent, especially Shen Fuxiang.Men have strong self-esteem, compare others, and then look at themselves.He thought that his family's life could still be seen, but now he realizes that Yunniang and her children have lived with him in the [-]th floor of hell for more than ten years.

"I remember that there are hundred-year-old fir trees on the mountain..."

Centennial fir?That's not bad either.Although Yiyou said that she didn't understand, in fact she knew it all too well, and now she is making the most popular pattern according to the Chen family's standard after a few years.

"The box doesn't need much. Dad just needs to chop a branch and bring it back."

Without saying a word, Shen Fuxiang picked up the ax and walked out of the house.Mrs. Li was not idle, picked up another piece of cloth, and embroidered with her daughter.In summer, the days gradually increased, and before the two of them finished embroidering a flower, they had already walked back pushing the branches.

"What box?"

Yiyou picked up the branch and drew a two-story hexagonal wooden box on the ground.

"It still needs to be carved. Dad may be busy recently."

"kindness."

In the evening sunlight, Shen Fuxiang immediately untied the board.Round wooden strips, unwrapped into square planks in a plank.Picking up a blackened wooden stick, Shen Fuxiang hit the wire and began to carve.

"Your house is buzzing, what are you doing?"

Shunzi Niang lay on the fence wall, looking at this side curiously.

"My father is idle, making something for dessert."

The ambiguous words fooled the neighbors, and in the next few days, when curious people came to ask questions, Shun Ziniang would always answer for her, which saved Yiyou a lot of trouble.

Although Shen Fuxiang has thousands of bad things, but he has one thing very good: he is dexterous and willing to endure hardships.

The work at home has not stopped, and he still made the box for the snacks in a very short period of time.The delicate patterns are even better than those made by those skilled craftsmen in the Chen Mansion.

"Father, who did you learn from?"

Shen Fuxiang shook his head: "This thing is not difficult."

She also thought about it, the masters were among the people, and the craftsmen who built the palace for the emperor were not requisitioned from the people.Thinking about it this way, it's not too hard to understand that her father has this talent.

"Compared to father, my mother and I are slower in our work, and the outer cover is not ready yet."

Shen Fuxiang remained silent, polished a small sparrow with the waste wood in his hands, and handed it to his son next to him.

"Eternal life to play with."

"Father, another one, for Mu Yu."

The family was happy when suddenly there was a coughing sound from outside the fence.Yiyou turned her head, the third aunt was standing outside, and the woman next to her with a bluish-black face looked carefully at Cheng Shi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

If it weren't for the savagery in her eyes, Yiyou almost didn't recognize who this crazy woman was.

"Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, why are you here together?"

When Li opened the door, Cheng's eyes dissipated and turned into weeping.With her hands on the fence, she staggered and squatted down, and began to cry.

"Fourth brother, fourth sibling, this time you must save your miserable second brother and second sister-in-law, and save everyone in the Shen family."

Yiyou frowned, it has been seven days since Siya's accident.On that day, the second uncle and Mrs. Cheng took the doctor to the county yamen to pick them up, but they were stopped by the county magistrate's wife, who taunted them severely and beat them with sticks.

The reason for Siya's accident was there, and she never dared to take it lightly.Although the past few days were calm, the time to come has come.

"Second sister-in-law get up first, let's talk in the room if there is something to do."

"Fourth brother and sister, if you don't help, the second sister-in-law will keep kneeling here."

This meeting happens to be when the people of Yunlin Village come back from the field. Although there are not many residents near Yiyou's house, it is a must pass when returning to the village.Cheng's quarrel immediately gathered a large group of people.

Yiyou walked to the fence, raised her voice, and said in a slightly exaggerated way: "Second Aunt, you are not a niece of Zhesha. Last time you wanted your daughter to enter the house instead of Siya as a slave, but Siya didn't Agreed. What else do you ask for, and tell me when we refused."

When Siya was involved, the crowd immediately buzzed.

Before Cheng's arrival, she thought about many situations, such as the fourth child's family kneeling opposite her, or they directly agreed to her request.No matter what, her elder sister-in-law or the patriarch's wife knelt down to beg for help, and she always made it difficult for them to get off.But she didn't expect that the four girls would attract everyone's attention with a single sentence.

Now that she knelt until dawn, there might not be many people paying attention to her.

"Fourth brother and sister, there are people coming and going outside, let's take a step to talk."

Yiyou sneered: "Second Aunt is so busy with Fourth Sister that she loses her energy. My father and mother just urged me four times, but you didn't hear anything?"

Seeing that she didn't suffer at all, Cheng gritted his silver teeth and had to laugh and swallow blood into his stomach.

"Erya is much more articulate, come in quickly."

Yiyou didn't speak any more, and let the adults enter the house, while she put away the grass for the cows.Seeing how capable she was, the onlookers nodded in satisfaction.They are also the daughters of the Shen family, Erya and Siya are beautiful, gentle and capable, and the other is unsalted and high-spirited, but they are really different.

"Sister, the second aunt is talking about you."

"Oh, what did she say?"

Under Yiyou's encouraging eyes, Changsheng imitated the example: "She told you to memorize what the fourth sister did, and the second uncle will benefit our family in the future."

The neighbors who hadn't gone clean yet listened to this.The Shen family actually planned this way, poor fourth Shen, they have betrayed everything.

Yiyou doubted: "Did Changsheng hear it wrong?"

The little guy seemed to be enlightened now: "I just hid behind the door. What the second aunt said about the same mother and blood, and I can't remember the rest."

"Shh, there are a lot of people here."

Turning her head, she waved her hand apologetically to the curious crowd: "The children are talking nonsense, everyone, don't take it seriously. As the patriarch, the second uncle has always handled things fairly, so he will definitely not do this."

Shen Fuhai is fair?Some people might have believed it before, but after the Shen Clan Conference a month ago, not even a three-year-old milk doll believed it.

"Erya is really a good girl with a solid heart."

This is what most people are thinking at the moment, and some people are just thinking, this girl is so stupid, she has such a good appearance for nothing, she will be sold out sooner or later.

Yiyou turned around and pursed her lips.

This is the result she wants, to be a solid-eyed silly girl, and the downfall of the second uncle's family has nothing to do with her.

"Sister, everything I said is true."

"My sister knows it all, but Changsheng, if you don't say that, those people outside will not believe it."

"Oh, I see."

For the first time, Changsheng was confused in his young heart. Is this growing up?
