Haikou exaggerated, only to know that it did not end well.

Liu Chenxing originally thought that he should be able to whip himself a little bit if he made a big statement, but after a few days, he still didn't have the slightest eyebrows to make a fortune, but spring ploughing was imminent.

As the spring ploughing approached, Mr. Liu's brows became tighter and tighter, and he almost caught mosquitoes and flies.

The family can guess why Uncle Liu is worried, but no one asks more, that is, Aya, who has always been filial, opened his mouth several times during the family meal, and he didn't know what to think, and he didn't say a word in the end, which made Uncle Liu always show disappointment in his eyes when he looked at Aya.

During this period, the uncle has not been at home, and the Wang family and a pair of children probably don't know what the low pressure at home is, and they are less domineering on weekdays, especially Liu Baoer, who honestly followed the women in the family to weave, thinking that it was Wang's behind his back.

After a few days of such a gloomy atmosphere at home, Uncle Liu saw that spring plowing was approaching, but he had not yet hired a strong man to cultivate the land, and finally said to his second son, who was busy repairing farm tools for the villagers all day long, at the end of the day: "Second brother, you let them pay the money for repairing farm tools first." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qianli almost choked on the wild vegetable soup in the bowl, coughed, and was embarrassed: "Aye, in the past, I used to pay after spring ploughing, but now that spring ploughing has not started, let me pay...... The ...... of the folks in this village"

Uncle Liu is also a face-saving person, and without waiting for the second son to finish speaking, he stopped again and again, "I'll just say it casually, or do it as it is." You can't fall into the reputation of being greedy for money and forcing the villagers, and it will affect your brother. So I had to ask my youngest son, who had just come back from the wine shop, "Third child, can you pay next month's salary in advance?" ”

Liu Baili put down the soup bowl in his hand, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Aye, I have only received my salary for a few days this month, and I asked me to advance the next month, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Uncle Liu's answer to his youngest son was probably well understood, and he did not show a look of disappointment, but finally said the difficulties of the family, "Uncle Liu's answer to the youngest son was probably well understood, and he did not show a disappointed look, but finally said the difficulties of the family, "Although the gentleman of the official school appreciates the boss, it is impossible for others to help you for no reason, so the family's money will let the boss give the gentleman a gift, and now there is not enough money to hire someone to plow the land." Third, you can't advance this month's salary, so ask for leave for the wine shop to be busy with spring ploughing first. ”

The matter of letting the youngest son farm was obviously not discussed with Grandma Liu in advance, and Grandma Liu objected when she heard it: "The third child has never been in the field since he was a child, what can he be busy with spring ploughing." ”

Xiao An's was also busy and said: "Ah Weng doesn't know, how many people are staring at San Lang's errand now, that is the largest wine shop in the county, San Lang will dare to ask for leave today, and tomorrow he will let people go on an errand!" ”

Without waiting for Liu Baili to refuse, the two women who cared about him the most had already refused for him.

Uncle Liu also knew that his youngest son's errand was rare, and as soon as his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said it, he didn't mention it again. can be moved so easily, I don't really expect my youngest son to go to the ground. Sure enough, he continued: "The third child can't ask for leave, and the family has no money to hire people, so only the old family, the second family, and the third family all go to the ground!" ”

"What!? Let's get off the ground! The Wang family and Xiao An's reacted the most, and it was rare to speak in unison tacitly, and even the Liu family frowned slightly.

As soon as Uncle Liu saw the performance of his daughters-in-law, he said with a straight face: "What, you can't go to the ground?" ”

Xiao Anshi wanted to say something, he might as well be pulled by Liu Baili, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Liu Wanli was not there, and no one reminded him, so Wang couldn't help but mutter: "Only widows without men in the village, and those whose families are so poor that they will let women plow the land." ”

Although the voice was not loud, it did not prevent Liu Laozhang from hearing clearly, he looked at Wang coldly and said: "Qingyun is ten years old, and he is half a laborer in the village, if you don't go to the ground, let him go." ”

The son is the lifeblood of the Wang family, how can the Wang family be willing? But seeing Uncle Liu's cold face, it was clear that he had eaten the scales and had an iron heart, and secretly scolded in his heart that he was so ruthless, and he still reluctantly responded on his face, "Qingyun is young, and he will have to take the imperial examination in the future, and it is terrible to hurt his body and bones when he goes to the ground, or ...... Daughter-in-law go. ”

The Wang family still has a bit of brains, thinking that they should be inherited, and they also know that they have said it in a hurry, so they will make up for it: "The money hired by the family has given the husband a gift, and the daughter-in-law should share the matter of spring ploughing. But then I thought about it, we don't steal or rob, what is there to say about planting our own land. ”

Uncle Liu still gave face to the Wang family, even if he knew that the Wang family didn't say it nicely on the face, he didn't pursue it anymore, and only said to Xiao An's family, "His uncle will enlighten Qinghai next year." ”

The look on An's face froze, and he didn't want to go to the ground, so he gritted his teeth and endured it for the sake of his son, and responded: "I know Ah Weng, I'm willing to go to the ground!" ”

Uncle Liu nodded, and looked at the Liu family again, this daughter-in-law is the most knowledgeable of the three daughters-in-law, and she should not object much, so he said: "The third family, this year's spring ploughing, you won't go back to the Liu family to take care of it." When the spring ploughing is over, let the second child hunt some game and send it to your aunt. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu's response, so he directly clapped the board and said, "Okay, that's it!" It's getting dark, don't waste oil, hurry up and eat the twilight! ”

Liu picked up the steamed cake with wild vegetables, but when he thought of his aunt and younger brother in the neighboring village, he didn't have much appetite for a while.

Liu Chenxing sat beside Liu's side, and when he saw Liu's eyebrows, he couldn't hide his sadness, and secretly said that this was really troublesome.

The uncle really cheated the family for a sum of money and left.

He walked in style, but left a lot of chicken feathers at home.

There is a clear division of labor between men, women and children in the peasant family - men plough and women weave, and occasionally the women will go to the field to help one or two. Therefore, during the spring ploughing in previous years, A-Niang would take leave from the Liu family and go back to the neighboring village to help with the spring ploughing. The grandmother of the Liu family is not in good health, although the uncle of the Liu family is willing to go to the ground, but he is not the material to work in the field, and he needs his aunt Zhang Luo inside and outside. Now that A-Niang wants to stay at home and farm, I don't know what will happen to the Liu family's spring plowing this year?

Liu Chenxing couldn't help but frown, he didn't come up with a way to make a fortune, and his family was full of messes caused by his uncle.

But no matter how bleak the days are overhead, life always has to go on.

A spring thunder, startled swallows and snakes, stinging insects broke out of the ground, and in a blink of an eye to spring ploughing.

Except for the uncle who didn't know what he was busy with, and the third uncle who was working as a wine doctor, the rest of the Liu family was busy for spring ploughing.

Although Liu Chenxing is only five years old, he has also been arranged to work, like the elder brother still went to the field to do some light work, although the cousin did not go to the ground, but also helped take care of the little cousins of the third uncle's family, and sometimes accompanied Liu Baoer to deliver food and water to the field, she was responsible for picking pigweed and picking wild vegetables, and was also required to carry at least one basket of pigweed and a basket of wild vegetables a day, of course, there were also a lot of simple housework, washing dishes and vegetables, cleaning and wiping the table, etc.

The task is not light, and there is no leisure, but the daily food has risen, after all, only when you are full can you have the strength to work. Of course, every day is still wild vegetable porridge with wild vegetable steamed cakes, but there is finally yellow rice in the porridge, and you can get two wild vegetable steamed cakes, and you can also share half an egg with her brother every other day, so she can't help but think that spring ploughing every day is also very good.
