Chapter 560: Exhausting His Muscles and Bones
Enough, that's enough! Li Jinglong wanted to throw away the sickle in his hand more than once, and then shouted hysterically, but he couldn't say such things anyway.
When such an impulse brews in his heart, someone will say to him in a voice of praise, admiration, or distress,
"Brother Jiujiang, you have so much strength to carry so many wheat!"
"Look at this sweaty man, don't do it, go to the ground to rest and drink rice soup."
These words were like a scoop of cool ice and snow to extinguish all his resentment, and a smile would squeeze out of the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, I'm not tired, it's good!" Then I told myself in my heart, "Today is the last day, and tomorrow I won't get up if I die." But the next day, he was still unconsciously working hard under his eager gaze, constantly suffering and enduring.
Cutting the wheat from the ground is only the beginning of the farming process, and the wheat is threshed in the grain field. Wooden flail with long poles is used to beat the ears of wheat incessantly, or cattle are used to pull the stones and crush them back and forth. There were no livestock at home, but fortunately, the villagers were willing to help and lent them their own livestock, but when the wheat was harvested, they had to send some grain as rations for the livestock.
Never thought that the fluffy steamed buns were so troublesome before they were eaten in his mouth, Li Jinglong began to feel distressed about the steamed buns he threw away, and from time to time complained that the academy made some bells and whistles all day long, why couldn't he get a special machine for threshing wheat?
Day after day, every day seemed to be tormented in hell, both physically and emotionally did not collapse as Li Jinglong expected, but felt a lot more relaxed.
Let him have time to sharpen the rusty firewood knife at home on the bluestone, this is the tool he uses for revenge, and the shame he received on the streets of Xuyi must be made up for after all, otherwise the fourth child and peace will laugh at him for the rest of his life.
A handful of green seedlings were thrown in front of Li Jinglong, and the muddy water splashed and fell on Li Jinglong's face. He didn't look at the fingers in his hands, and there seemed to be a few more rows of rice seedlings in the ground. After the seedlings in his hand were planted, he got up and scolded: "Little bolt, do you want to die?" ”
Xiao Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Jinglong's leg, "I just want to tell you that there is a leech sucking your blood." ”
If Li Jinglong would have screamed and ran to the ground a few days ago, but now he calmly slapped lightly on his calf, and the leech shrank into a ball, leaving only a faint trace of blood on his leg, Li Jinglong rubbed the soft meat and threw it into the empty clay pot.
Xiao Xuan asked curiously: "Brother Jiujiang, why are you catching so many locusts for what is the use, it looks strange and disgusting, I don't want to eat it." ”
"What do you know, this leech will be dried and the medicinal herbs will be sent back to the pharmacy to sell for money."
"Leeches are also medicinal herbs, the first time I heard of them, can they really be sold for money?"
"Of course you can sell it for money, and it's not cheap, and you don't even know this, no wonder you are poor. Don't be stunned, work hard! ”
Cuihua raised her eyes to look at the sun, "Don't do it, let's go home and have some dinner, grandma has already made the meal." ”
Li Jinglong raised his eyes to look at the ups and downs of Tanaka's figure, "Everyone is still busy." ”
"There are many people and we have little land, and it's never too late to come back after eating, if we don't go back to eat, grandma will send it to us."
"Okay, go and get back quickly!" Li Jinglong stepped on the muddy rice field and went to the ground, sitting next to the ditch to clean the sludge on his head, face and feet.
Cuihua sat next to him, her two white calves kept kicking and splashing, and when she saw Li Jinglong looking at her feet, she blushed and said, "I didn't wrap my feet, don't look at it!" ”
"What's wrong with not binding her feet, my aunt didn't wrap her feet either, there's nothing wrong." Li Jinglong got up slowly, "I'll go first with Xiao Shu, you move faster." ”
The land and the house are less than two miles away, and a cup of tea is there, and before entering the village, I hear a noisy sound from the village, and I don't know who is quarreling over trivial things.
But the closer he got, the more he heard that something was wrong, the sound was probably coming from the direction of his house, and he could faintly hear Grandma Zhao's crying. He couldn't help but be shocked, and greeted the small bolt dangling behind him, "Don't be stunned, hurry up!" ”
Li Jinglong ran to Zhuangzi with his legs, just when there were no people in the busy village, only some old people who couldn't go to the field were cooking at home, but now these old people were gathered at the door of Zhao's house.
A donkey cart was parked in the yard, seven or eight young people were dragging sacks to the cart, and Grandma Zhao was sitting on the ground patting her legs and crying, chattering and scolding at the person in front of her.
An old man in the village stepped forward to plead, "Erlaizi is a Zhuangzi, you still grew up watching me, you still have to call me the three masters, the Zhao family has no man's life is not easy, for the sake of my face, hurry up...... Ouch! ”
Before he finished speaking, the old man was slapped by Er Laizi, "Fuck your mother's third master, you old things hurry up, and if you don't get out, you will go to your house!" When several old men heard this, they were immediately frightened.
Li Jinglong slapped his slap into the courtyard, and sneered and teased: "Erlaizi, you are really majestic, the shock of the tiger's body scared the old man and the old lady to run around." ”
Li Jinglong had already inquired about the origin of Er Laizi, this person was originally a gangster in Zhuangzi, but he usually didn't live in Zhuangzi, and he was messing around in the city under the name of Cao Guogong's relatives.
is different from the "Seventh Uncle and Grandfather", this person's surname is Li, and he is really Li Jinglong's distant family, I heard Cuihua say that Er Laizi also went to Yingtian Cao Guogong's mansion for two months, and he didn't know how he came back, anyway, he made a fortune.
But Li Jinglong didn't know such a person, and since he was studying in the academy, he rarely went home several times a year. He could probably guess the reason, eighty percent of this person had unclean hands and feet or was brought back by Li Zhen.
However, Er Laizi went to Yingtian's Guogong Mansion to gild gold, and his worth doubled with fearlessness, and he provoked men and women in Xuyi, which did not damage the reputation of his Li family.
Two years ago, Cuihua's father died of illness and had no money for the funeral, so Er Laizi took the initiative to lend money, saying that the villagers would not charge interest money, but who knew that the IOU would become the seal money of the donkey rolling in a blink of an eye.
Erlaizi asked Cuihua to be his concubine to settle the account, but Grandma Zhao naturally refused, so she could only grit her teeth to repay the debt, otherwise the family would not have lived so hard with ten acres of land. But how can this money be repaid?
Er Laizi looked at Li Jinglong angrily and rejoiced, "Ouch, you kid is really fucking kind, you offended Lao Tzu and are still staying in my territory!" Lao Tzu will fulfill you today! Before he finished speaking, the wooden stick in his hand had already beckoned towards Li Jinglong!
