Chapter 21: The Role of a Penny
During the busy autumn season, it is not uncommon for every village and household to be busy harvesting and ploughing, and those who can go into battle have to go to the field to help. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, for the Lin family, when the villagers saw that the Lin family, the second eldest of the Lin family, Lin Shixiu's family, also appeared in the field, and they looked very serious, but their faces were shocked. Moreover, word of mouth spreads, as if it were rumoring that whoever enters the door of the widow's house will remarry. Even, some people didn't believe it, so they made a special trip to the Lin family to observe.
The second boy of the Lin family, who was bent on gaining fame, actually went to work in the field.
This news immediately spread throughout Shuixi Village, and for a while it became a hot topic for everyone to talk about after the thatched house.
"Hey, Zhong'er and her mother!" When the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family heard about this, she was also very surprised, and ran to remind Xu, "Your family, if you don't study hard at home at this time, how can you go to work in the fields?" Can Zhong'er do a good job of writing a poem for Li Fuzi? ”
Xu glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family slyly, and then smiled: "Don't you just compose poems, my husband, just teach it at night, and you can do it!" Don't worry! Uh, what about Da Niu, how is Da Niu's poems doing? ”
"Well, that's fine. Alright, alright! me, I'll go back to work in the fields first! You're busy! ”
These two people, each with their own hearts, neither of them told the truth, and after saying a few words, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family was afraid that she would tell the truth, so she hurriedly ran away.
Working in the fields is not an easy task. Lin Shixiu and Xu Shi had been working for less than two days, and they were already too tired to lift their arms. I didn't dig up a penny, but I was tired like a dog. The two of them, who had been firm, began to waver.
At this time, Lin Fusheng's figure would appear in the ground, he held a copper coin high, jumped like a bird, flew in front of the eyes of the second uncle and aunt, and then disappeared.
Seeing the figure of the copper coin, Xu Shideng's heart surged, and he pulled Lin Shixiu, who had broken tendons, to continue the treasure hunt, pretending to work by the way. It's a pretend, but it's also useful. In previous years, Lin Shitong had to work hard for several days to complete the work, but this year, it was completed in two or three days.
In the end, she didn't find any money, and Xu, who was already cold-hearted, inadvertently brought out a copper coin from the soil when she was finally cutting wheat, and her sweaty face bloomed with incomparably brilliant brilliance. "Look, husband! Coins! ”
"I was so tired that I found a ......" Lin Shixiu didn't care about any scholarly demeanor, and sat directly on the ground. Throw off the sleeves of your robe and fan yourself vigorously.
"If there is an article, there is a tael. I see, we didn't find a place before. It should be dug deeper. Xu pondered for a long time and came to such a conclusion.
Lin Dezhong, who was next to him, was also doing farm work for the first time, tired like a pug, squatting on the side, sticking out his tongue and panting.
"Still digging deeper? Are you afraid of your husband and me, you can't stop being angry! Lin Shixiu looked at Xu Shi sadly.
Xu Shi ignored Lin Shixiu, looked up at Lin Shitong, and saw Lin Fusheng there, holding a shiny thing, smiling like a fool at his father.
"Look! That dumb man really has a life, look at the bright one, it must be a silver ingot. No, we can't let them all go. Let's plow the ground this year! ”
"Huh? Plow you! I don't have the strength to do my job anymore. Lin Shixiu said urgently.
"Are you stupid? If you have money, isn't it better to go back and donate an official to you than to participate in any county test? ”
Don't look at those rural women on weekdays, when they get together, they only know how to chew their tongues, in fact, people really have great wisdom. Psychology is good, the exit is what you want to hear.
When Lin Shixiu heard this, he thought in his heart: Even if I don't want to donate officials, but with silver, it is not impossible to buy the road to official career. "Well...... you're ......, eh? What about people? ”
Looking up, Xu had already run to Lin Shitong's side.
As soon as he saw Xu coming, Lin Fusheng deliberately made a flustered movement and hurriedly hid the water-stained stone in his hand.
The reflection of the water is so strong that it is so shaky that it is impossible to see what he is holding in his hand.
Seeing Lin Fusheng's action, Xu secretly pouted. This eldest family really seems to be loyal, but in fact, they are all more sophisticated than monkeys, and they may not know how much silver they have hidden in private.
"Uh, brother and sister, what's wrong?" Lin Shitong saw Xu coming over, straightened up and asked.
"Hehe, uh, it's nothing, it's just ......, his uncle, you have also worked hard for many years, or this year, let us plow."
"Well, that's it. There is no hurry to plow the ground. I'll just do it slowly. Aren't you still busy with the affairs of Zhong'er? You don't have to do all the work! Lin Shitong said with a smile.
Lin Fusheng laughed secretly, and when Xu Shi glanced at him, he held his hands into a bowl shape and covered his face, as if he was quietly admiring the treasure in his hand.
Xu Shi swallowed his saliva, tried his best to hide his greed, and said with a smile: "It's okay, his uncle." You look at the scholars, it's because they usually don't work much and don't see the sun. Over the years, my body has been weak. This year, it is to let him do a good job, and when he takes the county exam next year, he will not be sick. ”
Lin Shitong looked at the land in front of him, and he was really a little unbearable, "But, there is so much land, and the second brother is alone, isn't it ......?"
"How could it be him, as well as me and Zhong'er. Uncle He, you don't know the monk yet, only in this way can he be active. Otherwise, he really wouldn't want to step out of the room. If it goes on like this, his body will ......" said Xu Shi to touch his tears, "but it will be ruined!" ”
Ho ho ......, really good, it's hard to find such a reason for her to make such a fuss to such an extent. The tears actually fell when they were said, they were really an absolute powerhouse.
Lin Fusheng really admired Xu's family.
Lin Shitong was also frightened when he saw this. He looked not far away, and his younger brother Lin Shixiu was sitting there and puffing his breath. Xu's cry, don't let people misunderstand it anymore.
Lin Shitong was so anxious that he scratched his scalp. "Brother and sister, don't worry. I'm just afraid that you will be tired and ......, and if you have to do the heavy work here, then I will ...... it, just right, spare your energy, and go into the mountain a few more times. I'll leave it to you here. ”
Xu touched away his tears, his face changed color in an instant, and his eyebrows were overjoyed. This smile is usually only available when she has a big bargain.
After the two sides reached an agreement, Xu Shi got his wish and returned to inform Lin Shixiu of the great news.
