115. On the eve of the farming
……
"Okay, that's all for today, and suspend martial arts learning for a few days from tomorrow."
The old man retracted the strength of his feet, eased the breath on his body, and turned to say to everyone.
"How is your wheat growing in Qinghai? Can you collect it these days? The old man asked.
"Grandpa, we can't collect it for the time being, I guess we have to wait for seven or eight days, we can't get together, just so that tomorrow we can have time to help the uncle's family receive the wheat." Qinghai said with a grin.
The old man nodded, he estimated that it was the same, after all, his family's grain would always ripen seven or eight days earlier than other people's.
The four members of the youngest son's family, the five adults of his own family, and a few half-grown children, even if they don't invite people to these dozens of acres of land, it will be almost the same in a few days.
"Okay, let's go back, don't forget to come over tomorrow." As he spoke, the old man strode towards his eldest son's study.
Seeing that the old man turned around and left, the people did not disperse today as in the past, but gathered around to discuss the matter of harvesting grain tomorrow.
Qingshan told them to go back to the academy today and not forget to ask for leave.
After discussing it for a while, it was decided to gather here early tomorrow with the guys.
Xiao Qi silently stood at the end with Jinxiu, watching everyone discuss.
Even if they are busy with farming, it is not their turn to go to the field to cut wheat, at most they help deliver water and food.
The old man walked outside the eldest son's study after a short time, and when he saw that the door of the study was open, he walked in directly.
The eldest son threw himself into the book and did not notice him coming in.
The old man coughed lightly twice, "Ahem."
Lu Zhongshou, who heard the familiar voice, finally reacted, this was his father's voice, and quickly stood up and walked in front of the old man.
"Daddy! It's all my son's fault that he didn't see you. Lu Zhongshou hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"It's okay, I know you're reading a book, and it's hard to be distracted and pay attention to what's going on around you." The old man said indifferently, after all, this is not a big deal.
"Dad, please take a seat." Saying that, Lu Zhongshou helped his father to sit in his seat, and diligently poured a cup of tea for his father prepared by the lady before.
"Dad, drink some tea first, you must be thirsty, look at the sweat on this end." As he spoke, he hurried out of the study and walked in with a water-soaked face towel.
waited for Dad to put down the tea bowl in his hand before handing over the face towel in his hand, "Dad, you make do with it first." ”
The old man didn't show it on his face, but he was satisfied with the face towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Zhongshou, the wheat harvest will start at home tomorrow, Dad came to remind you, you have to arrange it for the next few days after today, and this year do you say our family wants to invite someone?"
The old man didn't ask too much about the harvest in the past two years, and he handed over the ideas to his son.
"It's better to please, it just so happens that our wheat is early, and it can be staggered from other people's homes, it's still easy to invite people, and invite five people like in the past few years, plus a dozen people from the Zhongye family can be cut in about two or three days." Lu Zhongshou pondered for a moment and said.
It does cost some money to hire someone for a few days, and a person will add up to a few hundred wen for 30 wen a day, which is indeed a lot for a farmer, but it does save a lot of effort.
The most important thing is that the family is not so tired, especially when my father is old, and he can't let him be tired when he is already in the age of ear, in fact, it is still very cost-effective.
The old man nodded when he heard this, please please, he has also wanted to open it in the past few years, and there is no shortage of hundreds of copper coins at home, and he is getting older and older, so he really can't work too long.
Now the family is getting better and better, he still wants to live a few more years to see the children in the family can start a family, and after meeting his wife in the underworld that day, he can also brag to his old wife.
"Okay, let's do it, you can read, I'll go back to my room." With that, the old man stood up and walked outside.
"Dad, I'll send you back." Saying that, Lu Zhongshou followed the old man closely.
Sending the old man back to the backyard, and waiting for the old man to wash up again, Lu Zhongye turned around and returned to the study, and summarized in his mind what he was going to do at the academy today.
It seems that the first thing I have to do when I return to the academy today is to ask the mountain chief for leave, and the little cubs of my own family will also ask for leave.
Don't look at the age of these little cubs, but they are not much worse than adults when they work?
Since last year, they have also become an important labor force in the family, but the family still takes care of them and will not let them work too much, so as not to overwork and grow taller.
There is also the matter of inviting people, and this matter can be handed over to Tsingshan to do, and in the past, the things that invited people were all done by Tsingshan.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhongshou simply closed the book, anyway, he couldn't read it for the time being, and went straight to Qingshan's house out of the study.
After Qingjiang and Shengzhi washed up in the backyard, they went back to their rooms to study when time was tight.
As for Qingshan Qinghe, they did not go back to the room after washing, but sat on a stool in the courtyard and discussed something in good spirits.
Perhaps it was because they had been practicing with their grandfather for a period of time that they had played a role, and the brothers felt that since they practiced martial arts, their spirits were much better than before.
Even the slightly blessed little belly on the body gradually retracted, and these changes made them secretly happy.
While the brothers were talking, they suddenly saw their father walking towards them, and when they saw this, they quickly stood up.
"Dad," the two brothers shouted in unison.
Lu Zhongshou nodded indifferently to his sons, and finally looked at his eldest son.
"Qingshan, don't forget to invite a few people when you have breakfast for a while, those people were good last year, and they are not lazy when they work hard, if you go and ask the line, we will cut wheat together tomorrow."
Qingshan nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and the people his father said were the ones he had often looked for in the past few years.
Then Lu Zhongshou and his sons discussed tomorrow's affairs, and after everything was arranged, he didn't want to study, so he walked directly to the kitchen in the back.
The two brothers watched their father leave, and they already had a charter in their hearts, so they sat down on the stool under them again in a good mood and continued the previous topic.
At this moment, the second brother and sister walked towards the dining room with their things in their hands, and their eyes subconsciously looked at Qinghe.
Qinghe, who was originally smiling on his face, saw his mother-in-law, and the smile on his face was immediately drawn, and he turned his face away pretending not to see it.
Qingshan had long found out that there was something wrong between Qinghe and his second siblings, but he was not good at saying anything as the eldest brother.
Seeing Qinghe's obvious performance again, coupled with the second brother and sister's flattering smile even if Qinghe ignored her, Qingshan decided to persuade his brother.
"Qinghe, what's going on between you and your younger siblings, it's been more than a month, and no matter how angry you are, it's time to go away." Qingshan looked at Qinghe seriously and said.
Qinghe glanced at the back of his mother-in-law with complicated eyes, and then said with a wry smile:
"Big brother, you don't know? This Li did too much, and I couldn't think about it for a while. ”
Qingshan patted his younger brother's shoulder earnestly and said in a dissolving voice:
"What's not to think of? No matter how wrong she is, she is also your lady, and you have to look at the Buddha face if you don't look at the monk's face, after all, your children are already so old.
In addition, I see that my younger siblings are also sincerely repentant, no matter how cold you are these days, my younger siblings are not doing their best to serve you, and greet each other with a smile every day.
Qinghe, the eldest brother doesn't know what happened between you, but judging from your performance, the eldest brother can also guess that the younger brother and sister must have done something to make you sad.
But since you didn't send your younger siblings back to your parents' house, the eldest brother can also see that you still have feelings for your younger siblings, try to open the knot in your heart, people, you can't be beaten to death with a stick, you have to give her a chance to repent. ”
"You think about what the eldest brother said, right? After all, it's not a way for you to do this, and the children are not stupid to see it, okay, big brother doesn't say much, you can think about it. After speaking, Qingshan patted Qinghe on the shoulder again, got up and left, and let his younger brother be quiet.
