Shen Kang subconsciously dodged, but he was still drenched, and shouted: "Second brother! While bending down to fetch water, he splashed it at Shen Chang.

Yang Siniang was affected, her mouth pouted, let go of the little hand that was pulling Shen Kang, and held the water to Shen Kang.

"Second brother Shen, don't splash!"

"Third Brother Shen, don't splash!"

"Hahahaha......"

"Hahahaha......"

The children's laughter is completely relaxed and joyful, the laughter is refreshing, and there is no impurity except for happiness. And it spread to the riverbanks, to the mountains, and to the wilderness.

At dusk, the three of them held several big fish on their coats, broke Shi Lei, and let the small fish return to freedom. What about the meat of Shen Changxia's crab fishing?

I don't know what I took away, and I didn't even have a piece of meat left.

Shen Chang smiled: "Our little Zhuge also has a miscalculation? The crabs were not caught, and the meat was gone, but isn't it what people often say about losing their wives and soldiers? ”

Shen Kang smiled nonchalantly and replied, "Failure is the mother of success..."

Shen Chang couldn't help but smile and said, "Really? ”

Shen Kang...", right. Probably. ”

Yang Siniang smiled: "Let my mother boil fish soup tonight, and I'll send it to you later." ”

Shen Kang nodded hurriedly: "Mrs. Yang's fish soup is the freshest!" Then I'll let my mother make a flatbread, and my second brother and I will send it to you later. ”

Shen Chang nodded again and again: "The fish soup is cake, the more you eat, the more beautiful it is." ”

"Okay!" Yang Siniang should come down crisply.

The three of them parted at the fork in the road and went home, although there were some small regrets that they could not catch crabs, but no one cared, only felt that the joy in their hearts could not be said, and they could not count.

At the beginning of the next day, the craftsman took three apprentices to Xiannan Village and began to build a waterwheel. The Shen brothers naturally couldn't be idle, except for the morning and evening classes they stipulated every day, and they were busy most of the time.

I took the time to go to the county seat, bought thousands of crab seedlings from the fishmongers and went home, built a pond by the river, and temporarily raised the crab seedlings in it.

Poor Liu Shu, who was originally a little scholar who served by Liu Yuan's side, now he had to start helping the Shen family do rough work.

In the spring ploughing season, every family, whether adults or children, has to work in the fields.

Women walk on the ridges to bring tea and food to men, and men wave hoes to spill sweat and nourish the land where they can feed their families.

The cultivation of thirty acres of terraced fields and ten acres of fertile land is too heavy, and the Shen family alone can't keep them busy. In desperation, the Shen family hired more than a dozen idlers in the village for the first time.

Shen Kang went to the field for the first time, a good and elegant young man, but he became a living mud leg in half a day, and when he came home at dusk, his hands and feet were so sore that he couldn't even go up to the kang, and Shen Chang had to push him, so he barely collapsed on the kang.

On the third day, Liu Shu and Shen Ning and Shen Wang came to the field to deliver food.

Shen Kangqiang supported his sore waist that was about to break, and was still busy in the field. Liu Shu looked at the young man under the scorching sun from afar, bit his lip secretly, and scolded in his heart for being unlucky.

Raising his hand to put the food basket on the ground, he pulled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes and socks, and stepped into the soft soil.

Shen Ning shouted: "Little Brother Liu, this is the work you can do, come back quickly!" ”

Liu Shu gritted his teeth, forcibly adapting himself to this wet and dirty disgust, and said without looking back: "I have poured mold for eight lifetimes!" ”

Then while walking awkwardly forward, he closed his eyes, as if he was desperate, and shouted angrily: "Erlang! Saburo! Teach a certain rice planting! ”

Shen Kang held his small waist with one hand, clearly felt the sour friction between the bones, the beads of sweat the size of beans dripped on the ground, raised his eyes to look at Liu Shu, and said, "Thank you!" ”

Liu Shu snorted angrily and said, "The master's family is working, how dare the little one rest again." "But in my heart, I have the consciousness of accepting my fate.

Shen Kang smiled lowly and wiped the sweat on his face: "Life lies in planting seedlings. ”

Liu Shu cried with a sad face, what else could he say, so he had to help Shen Kang, step on the wet mud, and hang down......

On the other side, there is Wang Er, the leader of the team, and these people don't dare to make a mistake.

After several days of rushing to cultivate, the Shen family's forty acres of land have finally been cultivated, and the crab seedlings can be put into it only after the rice seedlings have taken root next month.

The cow of the Shen family was only idle for half a day, and it was borrowed by the neighbors of the village, supporting each other, and Xiannan Village finally spent the spring plowing season safely.

Old Ghost Xie died, and the villagers' fields were returned to their homes, and everyone sighed that they had caught up with the good season and were about to live a good life. There are also those who are dissatisfied, seeing that the Shen family is prosperous, so as not to have to say a few words of gossip salty.

It's just that these details are just the spice of life, and no one really cares.

Half of the ten days had passed in the blink of an eye, and halfway up the mountainside, tall waterwheels had begun to take shape, and a huge cistern had been half completed. The original winding mountain road has been transformed into a layer of orderly terraced rice fields, which are born in the form of mountains.

The terraced rice fields are like steps to the sky, blending in with nature, and the beauty of the rice terraces is a sight to behold for those who come and go.

On the tenth day, Shen Kang and Shen Chang put the bags that had been sorted out on their backs, and sat on the ox cart driven by Shen Cheng.

"Second, third, don't be afraid to spend money when you go out, eat and dress warmly, don't be reluctant. If you are missing something, if you are short, ask someone to bring a message back and ask your father to give you a tip. Don't be mean to yourself. ”

"Don't worry about the family, our family is not short of silver now. When your father rests for a few days, let your father expand the house and repair the roof for the two of you. Come home on your day off, and your mother will make you flatbread to eat. ”

As he spoke, Shen Wang's tears fell down. Seeing this, Shen Ning hurriedly handed over the soft towel and comforted: "Mother, what are you crying about, the second and third are out of the woods, and they want to go to the big academy in the county to study, and others want to go to other people's gentlemen and still don't accept it." ”

Yang Wushi, who came to see him off, comforted: "The child will come back on school day, don't cry." ”

Yang Siniang walked up to the ox cart and said in a low voice, "Second Brother Shen, Third Brother Shen, when will you come back?" ”

Shen Chang smiled and said, "In a few days." ”

"How many days?" Yang Siniang asked again.

This stumped Shen Chang, and he scratched the back of his head and looked at Shen Kang. Shen Kang smiled and rubbed the soft hair on the top of Yang Siniang's head, and said slowly: "The second brother and the third brother will come back and bring you the sugar man in the county town." ”

"Really?" Yang Siniang's little face was raised, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and Fang Cai's sorrow was swept away. In addition to lamenting that the child's self-repair ability is too strong, Shen Kang nodded: "Really." ”
