Chapter 4 Dry in the Field
Liu Ming opened his mouth for the first time to call this old man in the age of wind and candles, it seems that in order to save his son Liu Ming from being in deep confinement, he has exhausted his family wealth, and he has to endure the criticism of his fellow villagers, although what he did is not necessarily right, at least it saved Liu Ming's life.

When I returned home, the food was ready, because it was Liu Ming's first time back, my mother had prepared chickens, ducks, geese, fish and other items on the table, and a mud-sealed jar exuded an attractive aroma of wine!
Yun Niang also helped her mother with her work and greeted her in the dining room.
Finally the banquet started, Liu Ming couldn't wait to pinch a piece of meat and taste it!
"Hey, wait, the master hasn't spoken yet!"
Mother stopped Liu Ming's actions, and when she looked up, she saw that her eyes were round!
"Liu Ming, in the spring of next year, I will give you a fixed word, and after the gift of a weak crown, I will handle your marriage with Yun Niang!"
The cheap dad spoke, Yun Niang's face turned red with shame, and she didn't dare to look up.
Wait a minute! How many places can I complain about here?
The weak crown is next year, that is, nineteen this year?
Isn't Yun Niang a little sister? When did you become a child daughter-in-law? A black man with a question mark on his face!
Like Liu Ming, this family still needs a child daughter-in-law, this is usually done by poor families, why can't a rich family afford to hire three media and six hires?
"Ah, isn't it a little early, how old is Yun Niang?"
Liu Ming looked at this young girl a little reluctantly!
"It's okay, Yunniang will be sixteen years old by the time she arrives!"
Mother smiled and helped, as if she was not interested in age.
Even Yun Niang looked at Liu Ming with a resolute face, saying that she was an adult!
I'll go, isn't this ancient adulthood too early, if sixteen is placed in modern times, that is, the seventh grade, or the second year of junior high school!
You can already have a baby here! What a difference!
"Eat a chicken thigh! Work hard, the wind has been tight lately, don't go out to wander around, greet me first, do some work in the field! After the two of you get married in the spring of next year, I have an old friend who works in the city of Mengdian (Yanggu County), you can ask him to arrange a job for you to support your family! ā
Although the cheap dad is majestic, he is still humane, Liu Ming nodded and agreed, but after thinking about it, since he is a landlord, isn't there a long-term worker under his hands?
"Daddy, don't we have a long-term job in our family? Do you still need me to show up? ā
Liu Ming's words made the whole dinner table suddenly cold.
His mother glared at Liu Ming and reminded him not to ask the question.
Yun Niang silently pulled the rice in the bowl.
The little brother just lowered his head and sandwiched the dishes, not daring to say anything at all.
Cheap Daddy sighed: "Originally, my second Liu, was a big family within a radius of 100 miles, sitting on thousands of acres of fertile land, alas!" Now there are less than 20 acres of industrial land! Where can you afford to hire a long-term worker! ā
Is it so expensive to hire a long-term worker?
Of course not, but the level of productivity was low at that time, and one mu of land would produce two or three hundred catties, no more than four hundred catties at most.
"Daddy, don't be sad, I will definitely earn back these fields for you!"
Liu Ming clenched his fists and said, his eyes resolute.
Although Liu Ming said sincerely, it is estimated that a few people at the table, except for Yun Niang, who is not deeply involved in the world, will believe it, and others can't believe Liu Ming's words at all.
Fenzi belongs to the kind of people who just eat and don't work, in short, they are idlers!
After eating, the Liu family, under the leadership of his mother, Liu Ming and Yun Niang went to the field to pull weeds, and they will soon be able to eat wheat at this season! So we can't let the weeds compete for nutrients!
One person holds a sickle and a basket made of bamboo, mainly because these pulled weeds can also feed the few sheep and cattle raised at home.
In order to increase income, most families will do some side jobs, such as raising some chickens and ducks, so that large families can raise large animals, cattle and sheep!
It was hot, tired and itchy, Liu Ming really squatted in the rice high wheat field and couldn't work, especially if he had experienced farm life before, he didn't feel like this, why was it so uncomfortable to stay!
I think I used to be in the office blowing the air conditioner, drinking tea, and clicking the mouse! Now.....
Look at Yun Niang and her mother's work in the field, don't care about wiping sweat, Liu Ming's plan comes from the heart!
"Mother! Yun Niang! Seeing that you are so hot and tired, why don't you take a break, I will go to the river and twist the sweat towel to wipe your sweat! ā
"Yes! Go, Yun Niang is tired, take a break! ā
The mother looked at Yun Niang and greeted, and seemed to be more serious about her son Liu Ming, who was becoming more and more sensible!
"I'm not tired, Auntie, I can continue!"
The little lady who has not passed the door can only call the housemother and aunt, and after passing the door, she can call her mother-in-law or mother!
Yun Niang wiped the sweat on her head and handed the sweat towel to Liu Ming.
It is almost a basic must-have sweat towel for croppers, which can be regarded as a helpless choice on a hot day! After all, there are no seasons in labor!
Holding three sweat towels, Liu Ming walked along the small ditch towards the river, and saw a beautiful young woman from a distance, wearing a floral cloth linen skirt, wiping her tears while washing clothes, and she was still twitching when she thought of emotion.
But in terms of figure, it is really convex and backward, of course, it is Liu Ming's fantasy, because the clothes are relatively wide, but it is not very possible to see the curve, but this is the type that Liu Ming likes!
This little lady was really capable, and not only carried a wooden basin for her clothes, but also a basket of grass and a sickle beside her.
There's no one else in the house! So capable! If this is put in modern times, it is also a good wife and mother!
"Little lady, borrow a way, I'll wash off the sweat towel!"
Note that this little lady does not refer specifically to the lady, basically she can be called a woman, just like the current beauty, borrowing a fire, there is no meaning of taking advantage or despising it!
Unless it's because the tone of speech is too lewd, or something else that has a specific meaning!
The little lady squatted on a bluestone platform by the river, which is the only laundry table in the village with bluestone, and the others are ravines overgrown with weeds, which is very inconvenient to reach the water.
When the little lady heard that someone was coming, she wiped her tears and looked back at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming smiled at him.
What kind of face is this, although she is dressed plainly, she still can't hide her beauty!
A beautiful face, red and swollen eyes, blown-breakable skin, and a pair of talking eyes, and red lips that seem to be open!
But the little lady's face gradually became shocked.
Liu Ming was a little fluttering, could it be that the little lady was also attracted by her wonderful appearance! Haha, just say you're a beautiful man!
However, this Heti field seems to be too open, why not change the location, such as the grove next to it?
Just when Liu Ming was fantasizing, the little lady who was still washing clothes had changed from shock to raging anger, grabbed the sickle next to her and slashed it!
