Chapter 64: Jealousy
I don't know who was the first to raise their heads, the long-term workers who were working in the field all looked curiously at this thin young man who looked like freshly sprouted soybean sprouts, and An Ge also looked at this group of sturdy farmers with some emotion. It has only been a year since his parents died, and at this time last year, he was still helping his father with the plow on such a land, and now looking at the sickle under his feet, it seems as if he had suddenly lived in a previous life. An Ge bit the flesh in his lip and stubbornly held back the tears, which added a bit of bitterness to his face.
Steward Song stood aside and greeted loudly: "Lao Li, today the owner asked An Ge to come over to help, and you can arrange something for him." ”
Although Lao Li is thin, he is very strong, and strong chest muscles faintly appear under the coarse cloth gown. He squinted at the morning glow and saw that it was Steward Song, so he walked to the ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and looked at An Ge: "What will you do?" ”
An Ge took a breath, looked at the wasteland being reclaimed, and said, "I can hoe the ground, support the plow, and mow the grass." ”
Lao Li nodded: "Come here." ”
Xiaoyu followed Yang Baochen to stand on the ground of someone else's house, and a two-foot-high jade pole had grown on the straight ridge. It was the first time Xiaoyu saw such a crop, and thought, "I don't know what it will be in the future." ”
Yang Baochen looked at Xiaoyu frowning and looking at other people's land every day, and couldn't help asking, "Have we planted this?" ”
Xiaoyu nodded and smiled: "Well, the land that just opened up was also planted a little." I haven't planted this thing before, although this is the first time I've planted it, but it's also a reference to just look at it. We've got a sprout, I'll show you later. ”
The two of them ran for a while, and Xiaoyu got off the horse again and greeted the steward in the field: "Steward Chen, has you always been good?" I haven't seen you for the past few days, and your host's birthday is doing well. ”
Steward Chen looks like a round watermelon, if it weren't for the two mustaches on his lips, Yang Baochen would have wanted to go over and knock to see if it was ripe.
"Okay. Thanks to the little brother's idea, Chen's birthday gift is a lot more brilliant. ”
Xiaoyu jumped into the ditch after three or two strokes, and carefully walked through the lush leaves to Steward Chen's side: "Why does this thing grow so fast?" It's only been ten days, right? ”
Steward Chen stroked his mustache with his hand: "The seeds of this thing are like black clods, and I don't know how to eat them. I wondered if I should pull it out and replace it with some vegetables. ”
Xiaoyu flicked the fat leaves, the jade stalks and these artichoke seedlings were planted together, and the jade stalks over there were still sparse, but these artichoke stalks had covered the whole land at this time. Xiaoyu thought about it, tasted the young leaves, frowned, and vomited: "It's not smelly, it's not long since it was planted?" ”
Steward Chen also rubbed the leaves, handed it to Xiaoyu and sniffed it: "Who said it wasn't!" I heard that these are all seeds that the Han family got from the south. I don't know how to grow it, and I don't know how to eat it after planting. ”
Xiaoyu thought for a while: "Why don't you stay less?" Maybe it's the same as cowpea and green beans, and it will bear beans later? I see that the beans and vines are so woody. If you want me to say, just keep it, anyway, your owner doesn't expect this to happen. ”
Steward Chen laughed when he heard this. Xiaoyu chatted a few more words, then got on the horse and walked around again. When you meet someone you know, you get off the horse and talk to someone. If you don't know them, you can get to know them and ask them what they have planted and how they look. This is how her sister-in-law socializes, but the eldest brother is a stuffy gourd. After turning around like this for a long time, he said to Yang Baochen: "Let's go, it's almost time to eat, let's go eat something and bring An Ge back." ”
Yang Baochen scratched his head and followed behind Xiaoyu: "Master, An Ge? I see you're planning to let him tell the story of the monkey? Why, let him work in the fields? I think he has spoken very well in the past few days, which is much more interesting than what the old man Shi said. ”
An Ge was young, and when he talked about the monkey, he jumped up and down like a monkey, and he could hear the little girls in the yard laughing. This has been talked about for seven or eight days, although this paragraph has been repeated for two or three days, but Yang Baochen is so old that he can't help but sit there and listen to him after dinner.
It was Song Huanhuan and Steward Song who couldn't help but move a small bench to sit in the courtyard, drinking tea while listening with wide eyes and intently. The old and young in this courtyard can always hear An Ge talk before they are tired.
Xiaoyu turned her head: "Baochen, you also like to listen to An Ge tell stories?" ”
Yang Baochen laughed hesitantly and touched his nose a little shyly.
Xiaoyu rode a horse side by side with him: "I heard that there is a set of monkey boxing in Xingyi Boxing, will you?" ”
Yang Baochen thought for a while: "I've seen people fight a few times, but I haven't practiced." ”
Xiaoyu tilted her head and said with a smile: "You don't need a full set, you can always remember a few tricks." ”
Yang Baochen sniffed, trying not to remind himself of how he recognized the master: "Just remember a few movements, I look at Brother Fang's routine is a little interesting." His fists and feet are fast and changeable, but he has never learned this monkey boxing, but the truth is almost the same. ”
Xiaoyu sighed: "Usually in Fengxiang, there will be jugglers here." We've been around for so many days, but we haven't seen a single performer. It's okay to look at the monkeys. ”
Yang Baochen knew her intentions a little: "This is a good idea." ”
Xiaoyu shook his head: "Alas, it's just like the cat and the tiger." Seeing that Yang Baochen didn't seem to understand, he said: "That juggling is only funny if the monkey learns from the human, I am asking An Ge to learn the monkey, and he is always not very aura." It's just that at this moment, there are no fish and shrimp! Now there are no shrimp. ”
As he spoke, he saw a large group of people around his land, and when he saw farther away on horseback, he saw Lu Ange, who was standing in the crowd, foaming at the mouth and talking about something.
Xiaoyu shook his head, got off the horse and went to the place where the food was placed, Yang Baochen hesitated for a moment and followed Xiaoyu. Seeing that her expression didn't seem to be angry, she served her food, and brought a big bowl herself, and she didn't dare to leave Xiaoyu so she had to try to go in next to the crowd, although she couldn't see anyone, but her voice was quite real.
As soon as I took two mouthfuls of rice, I heard An Ge's voice coming out of the crowd: "That monkey has never eaten soup cakes, holding two wooden sticks, and he can't pick it up on the left, and he can't pick it up on the right... With a snort, the noodles fell to the table...", and the crowd erupted in a burst of laughter. Yang Baochen had heard it seven or eight times, and he still couldn't help laughing.
Even he felt a little embarrassed at this time, and turned his head to look at Xiaoyu sneakily, seeing that she didn't pay attention, and his eyebrows seemed to be thinking about something. Yang Baochen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to eat.
Steward Song was also listening in the crowd, but he was more serious, and he knew that he glanced around at the owner from time to time, and suddenly saw Xiaoyu sitting on the ground, half a bowl of rice was finished, and he was so frightened that he was sweating all over his body. Busy smiled and said: "Well, it's not too early now, everyone has been listening to it for so long, and it's about the same." Just hurry up and eat, and there is still work to do when you are done. ”
There is the blind one who is still saying: "Say two more sentences, two more sentences." ”
The clever one looked at Steward Song's chin, and immediately said, "I'm almost resting today, hurry up and eat, and I'll be energetic when I work later." ”
Xiaoyu looked at Steward Song and said lightly: "In the future, after eating, I will listen to An Ge tell the story." ”
Steward Song hurriedly said yes, and everyone sat on the ground while eating, while discussing with great intent.
After An Ge had eaten, Xiaoyu asked Baochen to say goodbye to Steward Song: "You guys are busy in the field, I'll go back with Baochen and An Ge first." ”
Ange climbed on the horse with trepidation, he had ridden for the first time in the morning, and now it was the second time, and he was not very skilled. Xiaoyu glanced at him and waited for him to sit down and catch up, before he said: "In the future, you have to be a little careful, if you can't be coaxed together, you won't know the southeast and northwest." ”
An Ge blushed and hurriedly said, "Ninth Master, I know. ”
Xiaoyu shook the reins lightly and let the horse trot slowly. The wind that ran brought up made Xiaoyu's clothes bulge, making her look not like a small and delicate girl at all, Yang Baochen followed behind Xiaoyu and thought: "Master's momentum is like a big bird about to spread its wings." ”
Lin Zi walked in a circle in front of Xiaoyu's small study with his head down, why didn't he notice it earlier? Today, An Ge went out on an errand with the Ninth Master, and Nan Huan and Bei Ting's little hooves never stopped, because the Ninth Master asked her to pay attention to who had a good memory, so she deliberately listened to a few words.
What did these two shameless people say? "Brother An'er is so handsome, I like his eyes the most."
Lin Zi was so angry that he was about to faint. Unexpectedly, Bei Ting giggled on the side: "His two eyebrows are better-looking." ”
Listen, is this what the girl's family said? An Ge's daughter-in-law is her forest, not these two shameless little hooves.
This is not over, Nan Huan also said: "I don't know when Ange'er will come back." ”
Beiting also sighed: "With Brother An'er here, I am happy to work, Sister Lin Zi is so lucky, those two little guys in our family are annoying to watch." ”
Lin Zi was so angry that he turned out of the yard and wandered in the small garden, and Jin Shan and Mu Long saw it: "Brother An is going out with the ninth master!" ”
Lin Zi was anxious to soothe his melancholy and lost heart, so he stopped and said hello: "Master said to take him to the field to have a look." ”
Da Jiang also raised his head and smiled at Lin Zi: "Ye Ting's heavy Ange!" ”
Lin Zi kicked the roots of the tree next to his feet, and said sullenly, "I just know how to tell a story." ”
Da Jiang shook his head and looked around: "I heard my father say once, my father wants to reuse him." ”
Normally, Lin Zi would have been very happy to hear that An Ge had been appreciated, but now he just smiled wistfully and walked away.
Turning a bush of roses, the words of the river could still float in his ears: "Don't look at us as a slave, I tell you, do the same three wives and four concubines, so that the slave calls the maid, is no worse than the outside." ”
Lin Zi bit her lip hatefully, she felt that it was wrong for her to do this, but she couldn't help but think about it, and she was jealous and jealous in her heart. R1152
