Chapter 43

The days of studying at Liu's house passed very quickly, and it was January.

Liu Chenxing is accustomed to his current routine and life, but after being a child for five years, he has become a child, which is very interesting.

Since Uncle Liu said that he would take their brother and sister to the county seat, Liu Chenxing began to count the days with his fingers.

1 day, 2 days, 3 days......

Why did you think that the days were flying before, but now it has only been three days?

Liu Chenxing looked at the scorching sun at noon and muttered impatiently.

Liu Wensu walked to the door of the main hall, and saw that his nephew had already entered the main hall and was waiting for the meal, and the little niece, who had always been the most active in eating, had not yet followed.

"Why don't you leave?" Liu Wensu simply stood under the corridor outside the main hall and asked, "After studying all morning today, are you not hungry?" ”

The Liu family, like the Liu family, has three main rooms, with the main hall in the middle, Grandma Liu's room on the right, and Liu Wensu's study on the left.

When Liu Chenxing heard this, he ran over a few steps from under the corridor outside the study, and looked up at Liu Wensu, "It's getting hotter and hotter day by day, and when you go to the county seat to meet Aye, you don't know how hot it is!" "She's not afraid of the cold, after all, you can add clothes when it's cold, but there's no way to do it when it's hot," it's annoying to go out on a hot day! It would be nice if I could go to the county seat in these two days. ”

I've walked out of the study, and it's time to get out of class.

Liu Wensu no longer restrained the brother and sister, he looked down at the little niece, and saw the little niece's yellowish but soft hair, he couldn't help but rub it with itching, and said with a smile: "I see that you can't stay stunned by itchy skin, and you want to go outside to play!" ”

was said to be in his mind, and Liu Chenxing was embarrassed for a moment.

She doesn't know what's going on, she's obviously an adult's core, but she's as active and greedy as a child.

Especially before she was used to being wild, jumping up and down with her brother all day long, and now she has been studying honestly and quietly for a month, and she is really a little itchy.

But for a moment, Liu Chenxing let go of the burden of being an adult, and boldly begged: "Uncle, I've been here for so long, and I haven't visited the village yet." Get out of class early this afternoon and take us for a walk. ”

Liu Chenxing was itchy at all, not to mention Liu Qingshan, who was at an active age.

He was still sitting in the main hall, so he shouted in support: "Uncle, I'm good at catching fish, I'll catch two fish in the afternoon......" As he spoke, he saw Grandma Liu come over with lunch, and also learned Liu Chenxing's sweet mouth, and also greeted the door together, "If you catch a big fish, you will add food to Grandma." ”

Liu Wensu also saw his mother coming, so he walked down the yard.

In addition to the soybean sauce and vinegar celery that must be seen every day, there is also a plate of steamed cabbage, which is covered with a lot of garlic foam, which is the preference of the little niece.

After seeing it at a glance, Liu Wensu took the heaviest earthen porcelain pot from the plate, and inside was solid corn rice, that is, millet dry rice.

Grandma Liu smiled and glanced at the brothers and sisters standing under the porch, and then said to her son: "I think they have studied hard enough, no worse than when you were a child, so let them go out to play for a while this afternoon." ”

Liu Wensu was already well versed in the principle of combining work and rest, and he also had the intention to let the brother and sister go out to relax, so he said kindly: "Well, you can practice for half an hour this afternoon!" ”

The brother and sister were overjoyed.

Grandma Liu likes the energetic smiles of the brothers and sisters, which makes her feel that even the courtyard of the Liu family has become vivid, and even she herself is more motivated to live, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of loving smiles, "Then Grandma will wait for your big fish, make fish head mushroom soup for you at night, and then steam the fish body." ”

Before the words fell, a familiar voice came, "That's just in time, I just caught a fish!" ”

This sound is all too familiar!

"Aye!"

Liu Chenxing immediately recognized it, followed the sound and looked over, and saw the door of the Liu family's fenced courtyard, and the half-hidden courtyard gate was being pushed open.

Where the door opened, it was Liu Qianli, on the side was the Liu family, and behind him there were Liu family's cattle parked outside with wooden carts.

It was better to rush early than to be in a hurry, and when I saw it, I knew that I came from Liu's house early in the morning, so I was just in time for the morning meal.

At that time, it was already May, especially a few days ago, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, and the days were getting hotter and hotter.

Liu Chenxing has always thought that there was less pollution in ancient times, there were no industrial exhaust gases and car exhaust gases, and it should not be too hot in summer.

It turned out to be not as hot as it is in modern times, but it was also very hot.

At noon, they were hurrying under the scorching sun, and they were sitting on the wooden cart all the time, and Liu Qianli and Liu's husband and wife were still sweating profusely and soaking their clothes.

"Aya, Auntie, you drink water, this is Grandma's chrysanthemum."

When the Dragon Boat Festival has not arrived, Grandma Liu picked wild chrysanthemums to dry, and then took a clay pot to soak chrysanthemum water every morning, and then put a spoonful of honey, and when the brothers and sisters were thirsty, they could drink cold water immediately.

Liu Chenxing saw that Ye Niang's face was flushed with sunburn, so he hurriedly poured two bowls of chrysanthemum tea from the table and handed them over.

A large bowl of chrysanthemum herbal tea with honey went down to the stomach, Rao was as rough as Liu Qianli, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of comfort.

I wanted to have another bowl, but I was afraid of the preciousness of honey, so I endured this appetite, and only smashed my mouth, reminiscing about the hint of sweetness in my mouth.

Liu took small sips, she also hadn't tasted sweetness for too many years, and she couldn't help but savor the sweet taste of honey.

Liu Wensu saw that his sister and brother-in-law had eased up, so he asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, why did you come here at this time?" ”

Liu Chenxing saw that Aya poured herbal tea in one gulp, how could she quench her thirst, and hurriedly poured a bowl of it, and then pricked up her ears, she was also curious about why she came over suddenly, according to common sense, it should take four or five days.

Liu Qianli couldn't resist the enthusiasm of his little daughter, so he still let his little daughter pour him a bowl of chrysanthemum herbal tea, which would be reluctant to pour it in one gulp, he also took a sip, and a trace of sweetness came to his mouth, and it was sweet to his heart.

Sure enough, the youngest daughter is caring, unlike the eldest son, who only cares about shaving rice at this time.

Liu Qianli put down the tea bowl, but said apologetically on his face: "It's about to be planted, I was going to come over to help as usual, but I didn't say much when I left a few days ago, how do ......you know?"

After a pause, it was a little difficult to speak, but finally said: "My brother is going to the official school, which costs a lot of money." The family can't afford to hire people to cut wheat, so I have to follow the harvest, so this year's mango seeds can't come, so I came with Hui Niang in advance and arranged the mango seeds first. ”

The mother and son of the Liu family are not farming materials, but they still know about farming, but in previous years, Liu Qianli came to help with farming, Liu Wensu was young at first, and then he was busy with his studies, and Grandma Liu grew up in the county, plus her temperament was weak, and Liu Qianli was fully responsible for handling it after a long time.

At this time, when Liu Qianli mentioned it, he also remembered that he wanted to plant mangs.

Liu Wensu kept Liu Qianli in mind that he had found a brother-in-law to take care of their Liu family for ten years, and he never thought that Liu Qianli had the obligation to come over to take care of farming, so he said: "All these years, I have relied on my brother-in-law to come over to arrange farming, and now I am a weak crown, I should have held up the door a long time ago, and my brother-in-law should not feel ashamed of this." "I thought that my mother was weak, and he had experienced spring plowing alone this year, and he should also pick up these agricultural affairs in the future.

On the side, Liu Chenxing also understood.

The mango planting has arrived, and it is the time of busy farming.

So the folks at this time are really not easy, busy all year round, and rarely have free time.
