43. Spend money to buy you rest
raised his hand and lifted the quilt that was half on Chen Qing's body to untie the torn shirt. Chen Qing gritted his teeth and held back his grievances, but he didn't stop it, until Liang Zijun stepped in, Chen Qing trembled his lips and shouted, "15 taels!"
"No! You are sitting on the ground and starting the price, 15 taels is more than the annual income of a farmer! You are too expensive!" Liang Zijun pinched Chen Qing's face and bargained. The body shakes slightly, grinding slowly.
"10 taels, if you don't do it, go out!" A tear of extreme grievance slipped from the corner of Chen Qing's eyes, he sold himself in two terms, even if he was poor and short-minded, he never thought that he would bargain with others in this regard. Even if the selling price is high, I can't help but feel aggrieved.
Liang Zijun wiped off the water marks from the corners of his eyes, his heart ached, but his face was quite funny, "Then let me enjoy the treatment of 10 taels of silver, my husband!"
Chen Qing looked at the hateful smiling face in surprise, but the corners of his mouth that were still mean and sarcastic spit out the surprising word "husband", these two words have a completely different meaning to the little brother than his daughter-in-law, this is a kind of recognition, but also a kind of respect, although I don't know if it is Liang Zijun's unintentional words on a whim, anyway, Chen Qing feels a lot better.
After a little hesitation, he took the initiative to raise his arms and climb up his shoulders and neck, closed his eyes and opened his mouth to hold the corners of his mouth that were always with a hint of mockery, this kiss was the first kiss between the two in the real sense. Chen Qing didn't know that Liang Zijun had a habit of cleanliness, so he didn't hesitate to kiss him if he didn't like to kiss him.
Liang Zijun's heart skipped a beat, he had never kissed anyone, even when he was intimate with Chen Qing, he touched his cheeks and earlobes at most, this mouth-to-mouth kiss was the first time, although he felt a little weird, but he couldn't help but push Chen Qing away.
After all, he made this person cry just now, and pushing him away at this moment will inevitably hurt his self-esteem, and according to Chen Qing's stubborn temper, I am afraid that he will not be intimate with him again in the future.
Liang Zijun didn't dare to move, and Chen Qing was trying to remember the few kissing skills he had. The green and slightly provocative tongue burrowed into the mouth, making Liang Zijun's eyes widen suddenly, and the smooth tongue had the taste of a piece of dough, which was a little disgusting at first, but felt sweet and greasy under the tasting.
The heart also lost order with the agitation, "bang ~" beat fast, Liang Zijun regained his senses after losing his mind for a moment, slowly occupied the dominant position with the stirring of his tongue, learned those few simple kissing skills to put into practice, and also drew inferences from Chen Qing until he was panting. Occasionally, a sweet gasp elongated the nasal voice and leaked out, which made Liang Zijun's pores suddenly open when he heard it, and after eating the marrow, he pressed Chen Qing and kept kissing.
Chen Qing thought that since he took the initiative, he had to take the lead, so he turned over and pressed down Liang Zijun, and then was pressed back by Liang Zijun, tossing and turning, no matter who went up and down, this verbal effort was finally eaten to death by Liang Zijun.
The unwilling Chen Qing wanted to regain his advantages in other aspects, but he provoked Liang Zijun's enthusiasm by himself, and the end of this move was to lose his armor and collapse the army.
It wasn't until dawn that Chen Qing woke up in a daze, and Liang Zijun was willing to let him sleep until the second half of the night last night, until he passed out, and Chen Qing also chanted again, "40 taels of silver?"
Liang Zijun sneered, rubbed his waist and eyes, and bit him hard, "Fortune fan! It's 40 taels, go to sleep!"
The body was sticky and uncomfortable, Liang Zijun didn't bother to get up and wash, he simply hugged the person and fell asleep, and before going to bed, he groped for a piece of incense, smashed his mouth and smiled secretly, "It tastes good, I like it very much!"
On the second day, Liang Zijun was woken up by the knock on the door of the second brother, Liang Zijun went out to do business and slept lightly, and he would wake up at the slightest sound, even if he was tired, he would not delay the second day's trip.
Yes, even if Liang Zijun got up late, he still took a shower with his hands and feet, left a letter to Chen Qing, and then pressed 10 taels of silver casually. Only then did he go to the patio with half of the blue and black circles under his eyes.
Liang Zixian only twitched the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw the dark circles under his eyes, Chen Qing has been working under him for four years, and he just learned that he is not losing his master's strength yesterday, so he only slightly sympathizes with Liang Zijun's dark circles.
Although Liang Zizhuang is not good to say much as the second cousin, he still cares. Liang Ziping, the second brother, was embarrassed, and whispered that he would not let your second sister-in-law see it, otherwise he would have to go to Chen Qing's oral education.
The three of them finished geeving, and finally looked at Liang Zijun together. Liang Zijun touched his nose and snorted proudly, "He is not feeling well today, Ming'er will change to collect rent with me, and the other things will be arranged by the eldest brother."
"Nacheng, let Wei Liang follow Zizhuang tomorrow, Ziping is no problem by himself, right?" Liang Zixian coughed secretly, and after speaking, he smiled meaninglessly without saying anything.
"What's the problem? I don't lead the team to collect rent by myself every year, I'm afraid that some people are reluctant to send Wei Liang out and then tire their daughter-in-law" Liang Ziping picked the corner of his mouth and patted the third brother on the shoulder, he, the third brother, when can he look like an adult?
Liang Zijun laughed twice, and hurriedly asked the eldest brother to go first, while the cat secretly rubbed the bruises on his body in the back.
Chen Qing woke up for a while before he came to his senses completely, and after focusing his eyes, he couldn't help but look around in annoyance as he shrunk into the quilt, until he confirmed that Liang Zijun was not there, he took a deep breath, looked at the sky, and hurriedly got up to get dressed.
"Hiss~Pain, pain, pain......" As soon as Chen Qing got up, he stiffly held his waist and hips, sighing. After a moment of slowness, I got up slowly, walked to the dresser step by step, picked up the message and read it. Finally, he twitched the corners of his mouth and put away the ten taels of silver, damn, don't be in vain, save it up and return it to that beast when the time comes!
Chen Qing scolded while moving small steps to the bathroom to take a shower, at this hour, the courtyards had already set off to collect rent, even if he rushed to rely on this overindulgent body, he couldn't resist the sack.
Anyway, there was no one at home, after Chen Qing took a bath, he slipped back to the firewood room naked, turned out a set of clothes and put them on, and carefully inspected the tattered clothes to see if there was any value in sewing.
In the end, it was determined that the old shirt he had worn for 5 years was completely scrapped, and Chen Qing angrily scolded him again in his heart. This dress is still changed from Daddy's old clothes before his death, and he has been wearing it for 5 years, although there are a lot of large and small patches, but the coarse linen is durable, and he has never been willing to throw it away.
Because he didn't have to go out to collect rent today, Chen Qing just avoided collecting rent from Chenjiagou in the past, and he also avoided meeting with his uncle's family. Liang Zixian has no good face in the face of a cheeky family, and he didn't take back the land that was tenanted to his family, so he gave Chen Qing face.
Boss Chen casually inquired about Chen Qing, and the short-term worker who was traveling with him said that he went to the front village to collect rent yesterday, and then contacted Chen Qing's current dress, Boss Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed of Chen Qing. If you want to come to Chen Qing's life, it will be difficult for the brother who is married, and he is regarded as a long-term worker by the master's family, and if he is dissatisfied, he will be sold, and there is nowhere to excuse him.
Fortunately, the Liang family is willing to admit this family, otherwise if they really sue the government, the Chen family will have to ask for the guilt.
Miao Rencui learned that Chen Qing was just a long-term worker, so she hurriedly beat Boss Chen, "You are a dead man, ask what he does?" What if the Liang family remembers us to come?"
Boss Chen didn't move, "Ah Qing is also my nephew, and he is fighting debts for our family, can I inquire?"
Miao Rencui pouted, "No matter how much he suffers, it is also for his sister-in-law, if he was willing to listen to me and marry Abi, and then return to the family of ten thousand families, how can he use him to pay off the debt? Maybe Abi can please the Liang family when he crosses the door, and take some silver to supplement his mother's family, how can he be as useless as Chen Qing!"
Chen Ping cursed Chen Qing for having no ability, and he couldn't even hold a master, and he still hoped that Chen Qing would be able to join the Liang family and make up some money for the family.
Boss Chen rarely scolded his son and daughter-in-law in anger. This is still because Chen Qing alone resisted all the blame, and the two of them are still worried about the Liang family's wealth, which is really ungrateful. They gave up Chen Qing in exchange for a family's livelihood, and at this time, even if Chen Qing got the approval of her husband's family, they didn't have the face to come to the door to recognize their relatives again. What's more, he broke off his relatives in front of his clan that day, and at this moment, even if he came to the door with a cheeky face, he had to be swept out of the house.
Chen Qing didn't know about the trivial things that happened in Chen Jiagou, and Liang Zixian was even more reluctant to mention the Chen family, because Chen Qing didn't know that Boss Chen had also inquired about his situation.
Last night's meal was still well placed on the dining table in the hall, and Chen Qing reheated it up and took a bite in the kitchen. After moving for a while, he felt that his backache and leg pain had improved a lot, so Chen Qing took a broom to gather the fragments of the study in one place, put it in a cloth bag, and then fetched water to scrub the floor of the bookcase.
After tidying up the house, Chen Qing went out with pig food and chicken food, filled the trough, poured water on the trough, and went to the foot of the mountain to pick some pigweed. Livestock are fed a fine diet a day, and the rest are fed with coarse foods such as pigweed or mountain fruit grass seeds.
Mountain goods such as cassava, chestnut, and oak seeds are good feeds for fattening, and if they are fed at once, they can raise a big fat pig in less than a year.
Chen Qing was unwell today, so he put out his plan to go into the mountains to look for mountain goods. Now in autumn, the best time to stock up on mountain goods is to beat the seeds of plants and trees, such as cassava and chestnut, which can be eaten by domestic animals and steamed as a snack in winter.
Chen Qing found that there were a lot of vegetables in the vegetable field that he had not had time to pick and fell to the ground, and he suddenly felt pity in his heart, so he picked them all up. There is a lack of ingredients in winter, and the most common thing to eat is dried vegetables stored in autumn, even if the Liang family is a big family, they have to buy dried vegetables to cook in winter.
Chen Qing is either busy with the autumn harvest or drying dried vegetables at this time of year, and now when he has free time, he immediately thinks of stocking up for winter food.
Clean the peppers, cucumbers, winter melons, and radishes picked back, cut them into strips, slices, shreds, etc., and then soak them in salt water for a stick of incense (half an hour) time, take out the clean salt water, and then put them in the sun to dry.
Eggplant and kidney beans are blanched in boiling water, after the color turns dark green, take them out and let them cool, cut them into slices and shreds, mix them with dry flour, dry them in the sun for 7 years, and then move them to a ventilated place to dry.
It's past time to do this. Chen Qing received 10 taels of silver from Liang Zijun, so he had to stay at home obediently, although he was controlled by others, but he was able to do his own business, Chen Qing was still very happy.
