Chen Qing couldn't describe how he survived that winter last year, but he remembered braving the cold all day to go into the mountains to find some food, but most of them went into the stomach of the uncle's family.

Chen Qing also took out his private money to smuggle food into the town to feed his sister, but when the flood came, the price of food everywhere exploded. No matter how expensive it is, as long as you can eat enough, you have to buy it, but even so, the brother and sister still lost a lot of weight.

When planting in spring this year, the landlord of Liang allowed tenants to borrow seeds and harvest them together after the autumn harvest. This is undoubtedly a solution to the urgent needs of the peasant households, how can they cultivate without seeds? In the winter, people are dying of starvation, how can they still leave seeds? Only those who are decent at home will endure not eating the seeds planted in the spring.

Chen Qing's family also tenanted three acres of paddy fields, and after receiving the spring ploughing seeds, they were very grateful. The tenants thanked the Liang family for their favor, and they almost didn't set up a longevity card to worship.

The countryman is real, as long as you give him real benefits and help him in times of difficulty, then this kindness is great, especially in this spring ploughing, the Liang family's actions have won the reputation of Liang Shanren in one fell swoop.

It is said that in order to solve the urgent needs of the peasant households for spring ploughing, the Liang family sent people to other provinces to buy seeds at high prices and lend them to them.

The seeds of 9 acres of paddy fields and 10 acres of dry fields are available at home, and Boss Chen thanked the Liang family while returning to his mouth, with the seeds of spring ploughing, he is expected to pay off his debts.

Chen Qing carried the seeds and followed behind the uncle, these seeds had to be repaid three times after the autumn harvest, and I don't know if the Liang family added the price. But the seeds are not used much, even three times as much grain, which is better than the seeds that are not ploughed in the spring.

This year, the wind and rain were good, and until the end of summer, the fields were full of green wheat fields. The villagers of Chenjiagou will go to the fields from time to time to see the growth of the crops, and every time they come back from the field, they can enjoy themselves for half a day, predicting how much grain they can harvest in the autumn.

Compared with the expectations of the villagers, Mr. Chen's family is miserable, and no matter how much food they eat, they can't pay off the huge debts they owe. Even if the wind and rain are smooth year after year, 10 taels of silver every year will have to be repaid for 9 years.

This is not counting the food and clothing of the whole year, even if you don't buy new clothes, don't buy meat, this salt is always to be bought, and the cost of the New Year's sacrifice and tomb sweeping is also to be spent, in case there is a headache and brain fever, this silver can not be saved.

Miao Rencui's hair turned white, and his temper was on fire, and Chen Ping didn't know how many times he was scolded. But every time Chen Ping said that he wanted to change his past wrongs, study hard and strive for a show, Miao Rencui would stop fighting.

Chen Qing just shook his head when he saw it, this Chen Ping is not reading material at all, he can't make articles, he paints chickens like ducks, and the poems he makes are also bullshit. If he can pass the exam, it will be really a disadvantage for the invigilation.

Chen Qing has risen a lot in stature after three years, and according to the previous life, he is also 172, half a head taller than his brother of the same age. But compared to the crazy growth of 13 to 16 years old, the two years are slightly less, the little brother is affected by the body, most of the people are between 160 and 168, and Chen Qing's head can also be ranked among the gentlemen.

The shoulders are wide and the hips are narrow, but most of the looks follow the mother's parents, the face is not handsome, but the facial features are also attractive, plus a pair of black eyes, it looks very handsome in winter, but it is not good in summer, working in the fields every day, the skin is sunburned, and the neckline is undressed to form two obvious color differences in black and white.

Chen Qing is a person who doesn't care about the outside, even if he is wearing a linen dress full of patches, he can come and go freely. The sister let him raise it very well, with fair skin, tall figure, rarely exposed to the sun every day, but also raised a bit of the style of a young lady of the family.

Chen Qing's brush business is not very good, and most of the students in the town can't afford to buy a wolf pen, even the sheep pen is only used to buy a bad pen to make up for it. Chen Qing doesn't care, if he has money, he buys it with copper money, and if he doesn't have money, he exchanges it for old books.

I have nothing to do with the old books, and when I encounter something I don't understand, I ask the students who are good at teaching to explain, and then thank you with a sheep's pen, the students are happy, and he can also learn to teach his sister.

Chen Bi's craftsmanship has improved rapidly in the past three years, although she can't catch up with Chen Qing, she is also quite famous in the town, and she has more money to give to her uncle, and she no longer treats Chen Bi as harshly as before. Occasionally give a smiley face, pull a piece of cloth to make a new dress, and offer this money bag.

In fact, Chen Qing and Chen Bi both knew the intention of the eldest aunt to make new clothes for her, and they had nothing to do to send Chen Bi to the town to buy things, just hoping that a rich child would look down on her and exchange some dowry money.

Chen Bi has been in the town for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will encounter entangled ruffians and hooligans, Chen Qing is worried that her sister will be bullied, and she is not allowed to go alone every time, she will accompany her when she has time, and if she doesn't have time, she will ask the people in the village who go to the town to help take care of it.

After Chen Bi was molested by a rich young master, Chen Qing became more and more anxious about finding her sister-in-law's house.

After three years of searching, there are a few young people who meet their eyes, but the people Chen Qing comes into contact with are nothing more than the farmer and the shopkeeper in the town.

The shopkeeper is mostly a man with a family 30 miles away, and the guy will definitely suffer if he has no home or job.

Picking and choosing, Chen Qing finally targeted Wanliutun, which is Aunt Liu's maiden home, which is not big, and the population of Chenjiagou is about the same. But I heard my aunt say that life is good, the terrain is flat, and there are many fields that can be cultivated, and it is the tunzi with the most fields in ten miles and eight townships.

Chen Qing looked for her aunt to pass through the wind, Aunt Liu thought about it, there is really a suitable candidate, Abi is also 13 years old, she should find a mother-in-law to settle down, and she can get married when she is 14 or 5 years old, and it is better to show up and be remembered by thieves every day.

Chen Qing settled the matter, and Aunt Liu asked the matchmaker to say goodbye. Chen Qing inquired about Wan Zhuoping's personality in advance, and through the conversation, he felt that this person was very real, with a gentle and honest temper, and he was a responsible farmer, and his sister was not afraid of being bullied by him when she got married.

Chen Qing is a cautious person, just thinking that he is good is not enough, he took the time to drag his sister to meet Wan Zhuoping in Aunt Liu's shop, if the sister also thinks this person is good, Chen Qing is willing to entrust his sister to him.

On the same day, Wan Zhuoping was called to the store by Aunt Liu to question, Wan Zhuoping, who has no heart, is still Liu Xiulian, what is really the matter, just went to the house two days ago to ask for a match, could it be that the future daughter-in-law has changed?

Wan Zhuoping is 15 years old this year, and he has also reached the age of saying that he is married, and his face is flushed when he talks about family affairs, and it just so happens that it is a woman who married out of the village who caught up with the media, so this time he came to the town and was instructed by his mother to send some thank you gifts to Liu Xiulian.

"Auntie, didn't the people who told me disagree?" Wan Zhuoping is real, what do you ask, the parents are in charge of marriage matters, although I just heard from other people's mouths that the girl is beautiful, and she is a skillful person, and the embroidery life in the town is considered a good one, and it is Liu Xiulian to protect the media, the father and mother of the family are a thousand willing, and Wan Zhuoping himself is also very worried about the future daughter-in-law.

"I don't disagree, what are you in a hurry with a stupid boy?" Liu Xiulian smiled and pressed Wan Zhuoping on the chair and said, "You also know that Abi has been embroidering in my store for a few years, and I treat her like my own baby, so I plan to let you two meet first to see if it is suitable"

"Auntie...... This is not in accordance with the rules, I haven't come to the door to say goodbye, how can I meet first if the marriage is not decided? What if I tarnish the reputation of the girl's family?" Wan Zhuoping immediately stood up and shouted anxiously, this world is not conducive to free love, most of them can only meet after they have set a marriage, and the rules are even bigger than they have never met before marriage.

"We countrymen don't talk so much about the rules, my aunt knows that you are a good baby, and you can still hurt you, and Brother Abi agreed to meet first, but I am also afraid that her sister will not look down on you and make a mistake in your life" Liu Xiulian patted Wan Zhuoping on the shoulder and asked him to calm down.

"Yes...... But what if she doesn't look down on me?" Wan Zhuoping's immediately tangled face was wrinkled, just now he was afraid of tarnishing the girl's reputation, and now he is worried that people won't take a fancy to him for a while, what if he doesn't talk to him.

I have to say that Wan Zhuoping grasped this key point well, and Liu Xiulian of the province enlightened him, the rules of this world are big, if people know that the two babies who are not married meet in private, not only will the woman tarnish her reputation, but the man will be blamed for many diseases.

"Don't worry, just take a look at your appearance in advance, Chen Qing and I both know who you are, it's not good to be able to meet the future daughter-in-law first?

"That aunt can't say that I've met her," Wan Zhuoping looked at Aunt Liu nervously.

"Don't worry, I don't want to ruin Abi's reputation, you just pass by and happen to catch up, and don't talk nonsense to people when you go home," Liu Xiulian instructed.

Wan Zhuoping Ruirui waited uneasily for a while, and Chen Qing pulled Ah Bi into the Tongji cloth shop.

Abi knew about this meeting, and hid behind her brother shyly and didn't dare to look up, Chen Qing dragged her sister out to introduce each other and gave the house to the two on a blind date.

Aunt Liu said worriedly, "It's not appropriate, lonely men and widows are in the same room, if it spreads, the reputation is not good."

"What are you worried about, let's be guarding outside, he doesn't dare to come nonsense, don't you see that there are two of us, don't they dare to speak? Let them talk to each other to know whether it is suitable or not" Chen Qing said as a matter of course.

"That's right, anyway, the guys are all sent to the front Gu shop, and I'm not afraid to know what's going on inside" Liu Xiulian slapped her chest with a weak heart, this Chen Qing was also bold, and the girl who didn't say that she was close dared to come to see Lang, and it was really impertinent to follow Hu Lai.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Qing entered the house and led the girl out, and Liu Xiulian went to find out Wan Zhuoping's tone, and finally the two of them combined, and it was done.

Chen Qing took the shy girl home, and Wan Zhuoping happily thanked Liu Xiulian, and went home to discuss with her father and mother to propose marriage immediately.
