Li Zheng brought people over, and looked at the old house of the Cheng family from afar, but the Liu family was brightly lit, the yard was completely new, the fence wall was refreshing, and there were signs of loosening soil in the two fields side by side, so something must have been planted.

Li Zheng's eyes were full of relief, and he turned his head to the two people next to him and said, "The children of the Liu family are all people who can live. ”

He led people directly to Liu's house, the door was open, the house had just finished eating, Zhiping was holding the bowl and refusing to let go, and was humming and chirping at Zhixing: "At noon, my brother brushed the bowl, and it should be my turn at night!" ”

Zhixing pinched his face and couldn't say anything: "How old are you, what kind of dishes do you wash, paint your paintings!" ”

Zhiping has been used to lawlessness by the spring return in the past two days, and when he saw this, he also retorted in a similar way: "How old are you, what kind of dishes are you washing, read your books!" ”

made Chungui laugh, and Qi You, who was watching from the sidelines, was also hooked up with a little smile.

But Zhixing was so angry that he jumped to his feet: "It's all my sister-in-law's habit!" ”

Chungui laughed and wanted to admit the crime, but now Zhiping quit, immediately put down the bowl, threw himself into Chungui's arms with his little short legs, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to say sister-in-law!" ”

Chun Gui wanted to laugh and be satisfied, so he had to pick him up: "Let my brother wash today, and my sister-in-law will wash with you tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Zhiping puffed out his mouth and nodded.

Seeing this, the three of them knocked on the side door.

Chungui hugged the child and looked over: "Ah, Uncle Lizheng, why are you here?" Sweeping to the two people who followed behind, Chun Gui knew the intention, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Brother Chen and Grandpa Li are also here?" ”

One of the two is the elder of the same clan as Lizheng's daughter-in-law, and the other happens to be Chen Orion, who helped Qi You carry grain that day.

Mr. Li is a hard-working family, a family of five, his son died a few years ago, his daughter-in-law remarried and left three children, an old couple with three grandchildren had a particularly difficult time, the eldest grandson is twenty, and the youngest is only ten years old.

And Chen Orion's family only has a pair of brothers, because they are this Orion, and they don't have a serious girl's eye, so the two brothers depend on each other.

Both families sold their land during the drought and now have no land to plant.

Li Zheng shook Zhiping's hand: "Your family is lively, and Uncle Li Zheng is reluctant to disturb." ”

"Qi You is also here."

Without waiting for the spring to return to command, Qi You had already served hot tea, and Zhixing Zhimin followed, Li Zheng glanced at the young man in front of him, and then looked at the uncleaned dishes and chopsticks on the table, and nodded.

"Qi You is eating here today?"

As soon as Qi You wanted to go back, Chun Gui intercepted the conversation: "Because several children have lost a lot of weight during the drought period, Qi You might as well eat with us when he starts alone, it just so happens that he will return to school in the spring of next year, and now it is more convenient to review his homework after eating." ”

She didn't miss a trace of hesitation in Li Zheng's eyes.

Li Zheng nodded: "You two are neighbors, which is more convenient." ”

After taking a sip of water, Li Zheng looked at it again and threw out a sentence: "It's been the beginning of the year, Qi You should be fifteen." ”

Chungui's eyes flashed: "Qi You is one year older than Zhixing, and he will be fifteen." ”

Now she can't hear the meaning of Lizheng's words, then she is stupid.

Fifteen years old is the age at which she can be married in this township, and she is now exactly eighteen, only three years older than Qi You. Although she has not officially passed the door of the Liu family, she is also the child daughter-in-law raised by the Liu family, which is to let her and Cheng Qiyou avoid suspicion.

She just wanted to refute, Cheng Qiyou suddenly stepped forward and said in a clear voice: "Qi You is now a single family, my brother is not kind, Sister Meng Chun took care of it, and gave me a lot of care, Qi You remembered it in his heart, and I also thanked Uncle Li Zheng for remembering it." ”

Chungui was stunned, and then laughed secretly in his heart, reading the book is different, Cheng Qiyou doesn't mean that Cheng Tianbao is unreliable, and the neighbor takes care of it for a few points, but no one thinks so.

Looking at Qi You again, he is serious at the moment.

Li Zheng paused, and then took a sip of water: "You and Zhixing have to work hard to live up to the spring girl." ”

This time, Zhixing jumped out directly: "Of course, Uncle Lizheng, my sister-in-law is the best sister-in-law." ”

Zhiping also hugged Chungui and made up a few words.

The atmosphere changed in a moment, and the little thought in Lizheng's heart stopped.

After all, he was just a child, and he probably thought too much.

He brought up the matter: "Qi You is also here, and he just gave the matter of the tenant field together." Spring return girl, your grandfather Li can be regarded as watching you grow up, and he is also a relative of your aunt's clan, Chen Shi is also a real person, and you can see if you are satisfied with the helper that your uncle has chosen for your two families. ”

Chungui hid his smile and put Zhiping down, sat down opposite Lizheng, and said seriously: "I can trust Uncle Li Zheng with this matter today, and Qi You is the same." ”

Several children immediately stood behind Chungui and stopped talking, and even Zhiping stopped shouting, and clinged to Chungui's back ignorantly. The affairs of the family have been invisibly paid by the sister-in-law, and they just need to stay obediently.

Qi You felt this kind of unconditional protection for the first time since his father and mother were gone, and for a while, he stood under the wings of Chungui from his heart.

Li Zheng waved his hand: "I'm only responsible for calling people for you, and it's up to you to decide how to arrange it." ”

Chungui nodded, and took out four rough pieces of paper from her cuffs, on which were a few lines of handwritten words by Zhixing and Qi You, each in duplicate, and she handed the contract to the two of them respectively.

"Grandpa Li's family has a large population, so he tenanted my family's seven acres of paddy fields and Qi You's family's one acre of mountainous land, and Brother Chen and Second Brother Chen took Qi You's three acres of paddy fields and one acre of mountainous land, is this a good arrangement?"

Neither of them can recognize too many words.,Li is helping them proofread on the side.。。

Chun Gui looked at the two again: "Grandpa Li, Brother Chen, we are juniors, today I will ask Uncle Li Zheng to give us a witness, our two families only receive sixty percent of the rent, and the remaining forty percent will all belong to you." ”

Before coming, Li Zheng deliberately did not inform the specific tenant rent, and originally wanted to return to the spring and say it himself. Sure enough, both of them looked incredulous when they heard it.

Before the two had time to express their position, Chun Gui said again: "If the harvest is not good, it will be five or five points." That's what the contract says. ”

Li Zheng nodded: "What Chun Gui said is exactly what is written on this paper." ”

Old Man Li wiped his eyes when he heard this: "Child, you ....... Aren't you at a loss? ”

Chungui smiled: "Grandpa, I am not a landlord, and you and Brother Chen are not tenants, you are the helper that Uncle Li Zheng invited us to see that we are difficult, and we have no money in return, so we can only use food to pay." ”

These words are appropriate for the two of them, and Chen Shi is straightforward: "Sister Chungui, and Qi You, I have written down your favor!" If you want to be useful to my brothers, just say it! ”

Chungui shook his head: "Brother Chen, don't mind, just don't think I'm too careful to take this contract." ”

Li Zheng immediately smiled when he heard this: "This kid, this is a lot of eyes." ”

Qi You heard something and looked at her fixedly.

Sure enough, Chungui smiled bitterly: "Uncle Lizheng, I do have some thoughts in my stomach." ”

"You just listen to me tell you clearly."

Li Zheng looked stunned: "You say it bluntly, you think so much about your Grandpa Li and Brother Chen, if you have any concerns, we will take care of it for you." ”

She pursed the corners of her lips and said helplessly:

"I'll be straight ahead."

She swept around the crowd and continued: "As far as I know, there are a few relatives in the same sect of the Liu family who have sold their fields, and now there are only one or two acres of land left. Our family lost both parents, and the rest are children who have not grown up, after all, I am not surnamed Liu, if an elder like Uncle Liu Quan comes forward to take over, under the banner of tenant land, I can't be the master. ”

At that time, no one knows how much grain their family will get.

She looked at Qi You again: "And Qi You is the home that Uncle Li Zheng personally supervised, do you know what is left in Cheng Tianbao's house now, and the couple are afraid that they are dreaming of snatching Qi You's things back." Divide the family or not, Qi You's half-year-old child has to study again, and it is reasonable for Cheng Tianbao to take over the field, but according to the calculation of the husband and wife, when the time comes, it will leak into Qi You's hands, and I am afraid that even fifty percent will be insufficient. ”

Chungui looked at the increasingly serious expressions of Li Zheng and his party, and sighed:

"It's really that my family and Qi You have relatives who don't get along well, I can't think of more ways to keep this field, this contract has passed Uncle Lizheng's face, if Grandpa Li and Brother Chen sign it, if there is really a day when I am careful to foresee, they can't take away this field."

Li Zheng's face became more and more solemn, and he took a deep look at Chun Gui: "Girl, I understand what you mean." ”

Once bitten by a relative like Liu Quan, these children are afraid that no one can believe it, but they just want to use his banner to ask for a security for themselves.

Old Man Li and Chen Shi both saw the situation when the grain was released that day, and they both sighed at this time.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and Li Zheng continued: "Don't worry, if you can trust me, I will vouch for this agreement for you, if what you said really happens, I guarantee that this field still belongs to the Zhixing branch, and who to give it to is your Liu family's choice, and the people next to you can't force you." Qi You is the same. ”

Chungui hooked the corners of his lips, and a sincere smile finally appeared in his eyes: "Then I will thank Uncle Li Zheng." ”

"And Grandpa Li and Brother Chen."

Li Zheng exhaled a big breath, stretched out his hand and nodded to the spring return: "Girl, the heart is not small." ”

Chungui took out the ink, and several people stepped forward to press their handprints, and the agreement was put away.

After Mr. Li and Chen Shi went out, Li Zheng was also about to leave with his hands behind his back, and after stepping out of the door, he seemed to remember something, turned his head and said:

"Qi You come out with me."

Cheng Qiyou glanced at the spring return and followed, the two of them went out of the yard, Li Zhengcai looked at the tall and thin child in front of him seriously, and he got straight to the point.

"Qi You, you also saw this scene today, uncle will talk to you a few words, you listen well."

Cheng Qiyou was silent, and only bent down to make a gesture.

Rimasa looked at the bright back room and patted him on the shoulder.

"Although this child is not your relative, what he does today is thinking about you everywhere, you have to understand this."

At first, he had intended to make them avoid suspicion, but now it seems that he was too cautious.

Cheng Qiyou rubbed his fingertips and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I understand, Sister Chun, she ....... Treat me as well as you would do it. ”

Li Zheng sighed: "Uncle will not be wrong, you will be the one who can shine on the lintel in the future, if there is one day, you just don't forget this family who treats you sincerely." ”

Cheng Qiyou lowered his head slightly, tilted his head and looked at the bright lights in the room: "How could it be." ”
