Reborn farming life

Chapter 117
After Qi Che and the others entered, Li Yu and Lian Er stayed outside the examination room for a while before driving the ox cart home.As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Granny Liu and Mrs. Wei.

Wei Shi asked anxiously, "Sister Yu, have you seen Che'er? How does he look? Did you give him everything?"

Li Yu comforted the Wei family with a smile, "Don't worry, godmother, brother looks good and looks very confident, I will leave all the food to him, and I will give you the instructions, you! Just stay at home and wait for the good news!"

After hearing this, Wei Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but he would not be able to fully relax until Qi Che returned home.When Granny Liu saw Wei Shi, she still took her hand to comfort her, "Okay, brother Che is promising at first glance, don't worry, when he comes back, you will be a scholar! Become a Juren mother, a number one scholar! You just wait and enjoy your blessings!"

"Hey! I also know that the child is fine, but I just can't let it go." Wei smiled wryly and shook his head at Granny Liu and the others.

"Hehe, it's hard for you. Mothers in this world are like this. They can't stop worrying about their children for the rest of their lives!" At this time, Granny Liu and Wei's two mothers all expressed their feelings. .

After everyone persuaded for a while, Wei finally calmed down a little.After lunch, Li Yu said to Granny Liu and Mrs. Wei, "Grandma, godmother, I'll go and have a look in the fields."

"Well, go, come back early!"

"Ah! Got it!"

Li Yu tidied up a bit and went to the field. As soon as he went out, he saw a carriage parked in front of Lin Yu's house from a distance, not the one dedicated to Lin Yu. When Li Yu walked over, he saw Song Yan'er With the help of Pearl, she came out.Song Yan'er also saw Li Yu, and she turned towards Li Yu as she was heading for the carriage.

"Isn't this Sister Li? Where is this going?"

Li Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, "Hehe, how is Miss Song, I'll go to the field to have a look. Miss Song is going back?"

Song Yan'er smiled, "I just went to the town to buy some rouge water powder, do you want Miss Li? I heard that Zhiyan Zhai has a new kind of face cream, which is very good. Sister Li has been in the wind and rain all day Go, take good care of your skin."

As soon as Song Yan'er finished speaking, Pearl also came over and said, "Oh! Miss! Miss Li has worked hard all day, and those makeup powders may not be effective after using them. Let's save some money."

Li Yu rolled his eyes inwardly when he heard the master and servant singing together, my sister has a healthy complexion, what do you know?Does it look good with a pale face?Li Yu sneered at Song Yan'er and Pearl at the same time. Luckily, Song Yan'er's skin was fair and tender, and her face was not too white, but Pearl beside her should have very pink skin at such a young age. It's tender, but I don't know how much powder she put on her face. It's unnaturally white. If you look closely, you can still see some fine powder falling off when she speaks.

Li Yu is so sweaty, he can only continue to smile with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Miss Song should go shopping quickly, I won't bother you two."

Song Yan'er didn't want to stop Li Yu, but just said something to Li Yu in a low voice when she passed by, Li Yu was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at Song Yan'er again, only to see her Smiling with a "bright smile" at Li Yu, he got into the carriage and drove away.

Li Yu frowned as he looked at the carriage that had run away and thought deeply. Li Yu just stood in front of Lin Yu's house and stared blankly at the direction Song Yan'er was leaving.It just so happened that Xiaoqi came to change shifts and saw Li Yu standing at the door and approached enthusiastically, "Miss Li? Miss Li?"

"Ah? Oh! Xiaoqi? What's the matter?"

The black line in Xiaoqi's heart, what's the matter with you?Why are you standing here stupidly?But he still said, "Hehe, why is Miss Li standing here and not going in?"

Li Yu was still thinking about that sentence, and answered Xiao Qi absent-mindedly, "Oh! It's okay, I won't go in." After finishing speaking, he walked into the field again, completely out of state, Xiao Qi looked at Li Yu's soulless look Opening his mouth behind her back, he didn't say anything in the end.

Here, Song Yan'er was sitting in the carriage, and when she thought of Li Yu's stunned look just now, she felt indescribably happy. She felt that if this matter was done well, maybe Li Yu's troubles could be solved.

Seeing her lady smiling so happily, Pearl rolled her eyes and hurried over to flatter her, "Miss, look at that Li Yu's skin is so rough, it's not like Miss's skin, it's white and tender, in terms of appearance, temperament, In terms of family background, how can she compare to you? I really don’t know how the Lin family’s eyes grow, I think they are all blind!”

Song Yan'er was happy to hear her servant girl's flattering words.She glanced at Pearl admiringly, and said with a schadenfreude smile in her tone, "She must be able to make Mrs. Lin so happy, but she won't be too proud for long, and soon I will let her Know that a sparrow can never become a phoenix!"

Li Yu was thinking about what Song Yaner said while walking, but he was so focused that he almost bumped into a tree by the side of the road, "Ouch!" Li Yu sat down on the ground, It completely pulled her out of her thoughts, Li Yu looked at the big pagoda tree in front of him with black lines, rubbed his butt and stood up slowly while spurning himself in his heart, why did he hit the tree Woolen cloth?
Looking around, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately no one saw this scene, otherwise it would be a shame to throw it home, and it was all due to that Song Yan'er, who said disturbing things in a strange way.But what did she mean by that sentence?How would she know that?

Li Yu always felt a little uneasy, but why was he uneasy?She always felt as if she had forgotten something important.After thinking for a long time, Li Yu still couldn't remember what she had forgotten. In the end, she could only keep it in her heart. She didn't want to hit a tree again...

When Li Yu walked slowly to the field, You San'er and Jia Shan were busy weeding and fertilizing the field.When I saw Li Yu coming, I came over to say hello to her.
"My boss is here? Why are you here in such a hot day? Come and rest under the shade of a tree." It was You San'er who spoke first. Although he was a bit more tactful, he was very clever, not malicious, and his work was fairly solid.

"Master." The one who cherishes words like gold is naturally Jia Shan. This person is just like his first impression on Li Yu. He is a bit dull, but he is very honest and works hard, but he talks less.

Li Yu nodded to the two of them, "Thank you for your hard work, the two elder brothers, the two elder brothers have cleaned up this place very well."

"Hehe, no hard work, no hard work. The three acres of land you planted, except for the peppers, we don't need to worry about it at all. It grows really well. Look at the weather this year. , there will be a big harvest by then!" You San'er really thinks that the sweet potatoes grown by Li Yu are very good, and he has also eaten them at Li Yu's house, and they are sweet, delicious and filling.

And the sweet potato is very easy to live, basically you don’t need to worry about it, You San’er sometimes sighs when looking at the two acres of sweet potato, this is really a good thing, but I don’t know how the harvest is, it’s a pity that my family has no land, Otherwise, it would be nice to grow some sweet potatoes.

"Hehe, the two elder brothers go get busy, I'll go around." Li Yu sent You San'er and Jia Shan to work on their own, while he walked around the three mu of land along the ridge.Both peppers and sweet potatoes are growing very well. Li Yu thinks that this year will be a good year. In August and September, both peppers and sweet potatoes should have a bumper harvest.Li Yu went around and was very satisfied with the work of You San'er and Jia Shan, and left after a few more compliments.

On the way back, Li Yu thought for a while and then ran to Granny Liu's old house, which is now Jia Shan's house.

"Is Mrs. Jia at home?"

"Hey? Who is it?" Li Yu went to the door and called for someone inside. Just as he called out, he heard a gentle response from the courtyard.Immediately following this gentle response came Jia Shan's wife, Mrs. Song. Li Yu didn't know her full name, but everyone called her Mrs. Jia, so Li Yu followed suit.

This Li Yu from the Song family had only met once when Jia Shan had just picked them up, and just took one of them to make Li Yu smile at this gentle woman in front of him. To be honest, Li Yu was the first When I saw her for the first time, I felt that she didn't look like a village woman. Although the clothes were very simple, it gave people a very temperamental and general feeling. If you change clothes, everyone will believe it.

Later, when Li Yu had nothing to do, she also heard from people in the village that the Song family came from a small farming family and had no special background. It was just that she was sold into a large family when she was ten years old. The servant girl, who seemed to be the grace given by the master, was released when she was 20 years old, and then married Jia Shan.At that time, Li Yu felt emotional when he heard it. He used to always hear that maids from rich families were better than girls from small families.It seems that this is true.

At this time, Mrs. Song opened the door and saw that Li Yu hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically, "The host is here? He is really a rare visitor. Come and sit inside." Li Yu was greeted by Mrs. Song and entered the room. After entering the room, Li Yu looked around. Mrs. Song is really a person who knows how to live. The original simple hut made Mrs. Song feel very warm and homely after the simple decoration.

After Mrs. Song brought Li Yu into the room, she gave up her seat and poured water, just as the baby Jia Yu who was lying on the bed woke up and kept crying there.At this time, Mrs. Song went to the kitchen to pour water, and Li Yu quickly hugged Jia Yu who was crying miserably, and slowly coaxed him. Not to mention, Li Yu was indeed very popular with old people and children. When Jia Yu was mentioned, this little Douding stopped crying, and looked at Li Yu curiously with his wide eyes open. After watching for a while, he giggled and waved his small fists while laughing.

Li Yu smiled and teased the "toothless child" in his arms. The two had a great time babbling and babbling. Mrs. Song saw this scene when she entered the room with water in her hand.Mrs. Song told Li Yu who she had poured out, and said softly to Li Yu, "Master, please drink some water, there is no tea at home, so you can drink while you are alive, and let me hold the child."

Li Yu handed back the little Douding in his bosom to Mrs. Song, took a sip from the water cup and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law, I never like to drink tea, this white water is very good, it quenches my thirst very well!"

Song responded with a smile while coaxing the child, "Hehe, as long as you don't dislike it."

Li Yu put down his teacup, sat next to Song Shi, stretched out his finger to tease Jia Yu, and chatted with Song Shi, "Is my sister-in-law still used to living here? If you need anything, just tell me."

"Hehe, there's nothing missing. We have everything at home, so don't worry about it."

Li Yu felt awkward about an older person using honorifics to him, but Song always used honorifics when they met for the first time. Li Yu said that it was not necessary, but Song said that it was not necessary. Abandoned, Li Yu was very helpless.Li Yu sat at Jia Shan's house for a while and then went back.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was finally time for Qi Che to leave the examination room. This afternoon, the whole Li family went out to the town to pick up Qi Che. On the way back, Granny Liu and Mrs. Wei kept asking How did Qi Che do in the exam.

Qi Che patiently told his family about the process of the exam and how he felt after the exam. Generally speaking, the exam was not too difficult, and Qi Che felt that he did well in the exam.

He said that the whole family was very happy, and that night Li Yu cooked a table of good dishes to comfort Qi Che.In the days that followed, the whole family was waiting for the results of the exam.In the anticipation of Li Yu's family, the person who finally announced the good news came to the door.

On this day, Li Yu was playing mahjong with Mrs. Lin at the Lin's house, and when he was getting up all night, he saw Lian Er hurriedly followed the little maid into the house.At this time, Lian'er was laughing so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. Seeing that Li Yu was still breathing, she stammered and said, "Miss... Miss... hit... hit!"

Li Yugang didn't understand at first. He frowned and looked at the smiling Lian'er, "What's wrong? Lian'er, speak slowly, what happened?"

"Miss! Brother Che is selected as a scholar!" Lian Er managed to catch her breath, and answered Li Yu loudly.

Li Yu jumped up happily when he heard it, and asked Lian Er excitedly, "You mean brother is a scholar?"

Lian'er nodded vigorously, "Well, the person who announced the good news has already arrived at home, and my mother told me to tell you to go back quickly!"

"Okay! I'll go back right away!" Li Yu was so excited, she really hit it, but fortunately, she didn't rush back happily, but turned to the old lady Lin and Aunt Hua who were still sitting at the table. , and Mrs. Zhang blessed Fuli, "Old lady, Aunt Hua, Second Madam, let me go home first."

Mrs. Lin was also happy for Li Yu when she heard the news, she smiled kindly and said, "Go! This is a good thing, hurry home!"

Aunt Hua also said, "Yes! Sister Yu, let's go back soon!"

"Hehe, congratulations really, Sister Yu's family has a master scholar!" At this time, Mrs. Zhang also congratulated Li Yu with a smile on her face. As for what she thinks psychologically, it's another matter.

Li Yu didn't have time to think about other things at this time, and now she was in a hurry to go home, so after a few more pleasantries, she led Lian Er back quickly.When they ran to the door of the house, they saw that there were many people surrounding them. Seeing Li Yu's return, everyone automatically made way for him.When she ran into the courtyard, she saw a yamen servant bowing his hands to Qi Che as if congratulating him. When Li Yu approached, he heard the yamen servant say, "Congratulations to Qi Xiucai! Today I won the scholar, and tomorrow I will be a scholar. You are rising every step of the way!"

Li Yu walked over, took out five taels of silver from his purse and gave it to the yamen servant, and said with a smile, "Hehe, I'll honor your good words, and I'll trouble you to report the letter, so let's drink this little money!"

This depressed weighed the money in his hand, smiled more happily, said a few more auspicious words, and left. As soon as he left, neighbors from all over the neighborhood poured into Li's house and began to congratulate him.
