Chapter Twenty-Five: The Two Children Swore Unintentionally

"Dad, Dad," Lin Saiyu has been following Cao Sanlang for a long time, shouting that Cao Sanlang is one head and two big, he doesn't have the momentum of the Lu family to treat the children, and he doesn't dare to fight or scold, he will only stare twice, but unfortunately Lin Saiyu has already seen it, and he is not afraid at all, Cao Saburo can't help but complain that the Hun family has lived in his mother's house and has not come back these days.

"Dad, it's enough to pull a cart! Good no good? Lin Saiyu grabbed the corner of Cao Sanlang's clothes again, and tried to put on a pitiful appearance, "Hua'er doesn't want to be sold as a cheap slave, and she will never see her father!" ”

Cao Sanlang's heart immediately softened, and when he turned around, he pulled his face and said: "I knew this earlier, I begged your lord's family earlier, now you are messing around like this, what's the use!" ”

Seeing that there was hope, Lindsay Yu tried to control her excited mood, clapped her hands and said, "It can be done, it can be done, Dad will help me pull a cart of dung." ”

Cao Saburo couldn't, so he had to go to his brother's house to borrow a wheeled car, load a cart of cow dung from the yard, and follow Lin Saiyu to the outside of the village, saying as he walked: "Waste such good dung, be careful that your mother comes back and beats you." ”

Lin Saiyu was so happy that she couldn't wait to run away, but it was really an eye-opener for the Lu family to go back to her parents' house at this time, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get the dung for insulation, and when the Lu family came back, it didn't matter if she beat herself, she thought about it and pointed to a bag of dung outside Liu Xiaohu's house, "Dad, that's also installed!" ”

Cao Saburo was taken aback, "How can Mrs. Liu's family want it?" Can people be willing to do it? ”

Lin Saiyu looked at the obviously sorted out dung pile, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, knowing that this was specially prepared for her by Liu Xiaohu, and she didn't say that she pushed Cao Sanlang to load the car, Cao Sanlang was full of suspicions, and repeatedly entered the door to Liu Niangzi and said, Liu Niangzi walked out with Xiu Huo in her hand, looked at Lin Saiyu and just smiled, nodded and said: "It was originally picked up by Hu'er for heating, but seeing that the sky is released, there is no need for it, if I can help you, I will take it." ”

Cao Saburo thanked her and said, "It's all flowers fooling around." Then he loaded the car, and felt a little pity for the orphan and widow of the stranger, and made up his mind to give them some firewood at home.

When he walked to his own field, Cao Saburo was stunned at first, looking at the strange shed in a daze, and then said anxiously: "Ruined the ground, what to plant in the spring?" The family is still waiting to eat! Hurry up and tear these down! ”

Where was Lin Saiyu willing to let him move his own life, and hurriedly stopped: "Dad, don't delay planting others, I'll use it until May, you can rest assured, this lotus root can be sold for a lot of money, and it can be worth our five-year harvest." ”

Where is Cao Sanlang willing to believe her child's words, he lamented that he went back to his land for a long time, Lin Saiyu no longer paid attention to him, and ran around to bury the unloaded cart full of dung into the shed, and at noon on the sun, the civilized river water slowly flowed into the shed with the dug channel, and Liu Xiaohu also came over at this time.

"I can do it myself, you can go back quickly." Lin Saiyu was standing barefoot in the muddy water, looking carefully at the lotus root she had planted, excited and ignoring the biting cold.

"It's okay, I'll take a look." Liu Xiaohu saw that Lin Saiyu was almost shivering from the cold, but his face was full of confidence, the original sentence I don't worry, will you plant it swallowed back, took off his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, and jumped into the muddy water.

"Don't freeze you." Lin Saiyu said busily, looking at his instantly purple face with some distress, "Where did you get this?" Hurry up and up. ”

Liu Xiaohu didn't like to hear this, so he raised his muddy hand and flicked it at Lin Saiyu, pretending to be angry: "I can't compare to you as a woman!" ”

Lin Saiyu didn't mention it, and was splashed with mud with a bang, and immediately became a real little flower face, Liu Xiaohu looked at her funny appearance and laughed.

"I don't know the hearts of good people, you white-faced scholar!" Lin Saiyu immediately fought back, anyway, the clothes were going to be dirty when they got on the ground, and they were not afraid of being dirty at all, and for a while the muddy water was rampant, and screams and laughter were sprinkled all over the gradually recovering earth.

As the willow pulled out the first shoot, the returning swallows began to chirp on the trees and eaves, but the people of Shifang Village had not yet taken off their thick clothes, fully practicing the concept of covering spring and autumn frost.

Lindsay Yu sleeved his hands, carefully looked at the opening of half of the ground shed, it has been nearly a month since the lotus root was planted, and a small green lotus leaf can already be seen in the shallow muddy water, Liu Xiaohu is walking carefully in it, while carefully sprinkling the dark and rotten manure on the lotus root, not only to avoid stepping on the lotus root, but also to avoid the manure being sprinkled on the lotus leaf.

"I really thought that such shallow water could really be grown... While he was busy, he was talking to himself, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

And Lin Saiyu didn't hear his words, but looked up at the sky and muttered: "Whether there is a harvest or not depends on the water, and the harvest is less in the fertilizer, I have done it step by step, I hope God will open his eyes, don't come to spring snow again." Thinking that the weather was not yet warm, he was busy urging Liu Xiaohu to hurry up, so as not to freeze the lotus root.

Liu Xiaohu sprinkled the last handful of fertilizer, came out and was busy covering the shed first, before sitting on the side to wipe the muddy water off his feet and legs, and said: "I thought you buried manure in the shed to make fertilizer, it turned out to be used to heat, where did you know this method?" ”

Lin Saiyu pretended to be strange and said, "What kind of strangeness is this? Everyone in the village knows it! Don't forget to give him a look of contempt, "I said earlier that you are a white-faced scholar, rare and strange!" ”

Liu Xiaohu glanced at her, and finally had some doubts in his heart, could it be that it was really the local law circulated by the villagers, why didn't my father say it? After thinking about it, after all, he hasn't been with his father for a long time, and he can't let himself learn this, so naturally there are many ways he hasn't told.

Looking at Liu Xiaohu's stunned appearance, Lin Saiyu guessed that this person must have remembered his father who looked like a farmer again, and couldn't help but become more and more curious, who is Daddy Liu? Suppressing her curiosity, Lin Saiyu threw a pebble to wake up Liu Xiaohu, "Go back quickly, don't worry your mother!" ”

After the Qingming Festival, it was really spring, the sun made people feel warm, Liu Xiaohu put on his shoes and socks, did not get up but lay on his back on the ground, pillowing the weeds that had become soft, smelling the smell of the field mixed with rotten manure, and squinting his eyes happily.

Lin Saiyu was a little funny, she didn't know when the imperial examination was held, but she saw that Liu Niangzi paid more and more attention to Liu Xiaohu's study in this paragraph, and even hired a gentleman in the city to guide once or twice a month, Lin Saiyu once stood at the entrance of the village and saw the white-bearded gentleman who came in a donkey cart, looking very learned, however, it was not that she belittled Liu Xiaohu's IQ, if it was to learn agricultural knowledge, if under the guidance of her Lin Saiyu, Liu Xiaohu would have the hope of becoming a master in this life, but when it came to writing poems, Even if he exerts his strength to eat, Liu Xiaohu belongs to the kind of literati who barely gets ridiculed.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing, and threw a stone again, "Hurry up and study, when you become the champion, I will use your power to buy the land of the entire village." ”

"What are you going to do so much? Your father can't grow it alone. Liu Xiaohu said lazily, still lying still.

Seeing his comfortable appearance, Lin Saiyu couldn't help but feel itchy in her heart, and regretted that she gave birth to a daughter, although she was born in the countryside and could run all over the world, but some images still need to be paid attention to, these days Liu Xiaohu just secretly came over to help her farm, Lin Saiyu can already see the strange expressions of the villagers, fortunately, it is the villagers who help each other to farm, and it has become a practice for men and women to help each other harvest when the farm is busy, so that they are not drowned by the spitting stars, if she is seen lying in the ground like Liu Xiaohu, Go back and wait to be beaten to death by the Lu family.

"I want land, of course I planted it myself," Lin Saiyu looked at the surrounding pieces of land to be developed, as well as the undulating hills in the distance, seemed to see his hometown, his own orchard, and couldn't help but be in a trance, "Plant a large piece of wheat, plant a large piece of cotton, and make cotton clothes on the defensive line, it's better than not even being able to wear cotton cotton clothes now, I also want to build a greenhouse of a few acres of land, plant vegetables and flowers, and make a lot of money, and when I have money, buy that ridge, plant fruit trees, plant jujube persimmons, and I will build a big house there, Feed the chickens in front of the house, feed the pigs behind the house, graze sheep on the east ridge, and graze cattle on the west ridge。。。。。。。 ”

Liu Xiaohu couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and he seemed to be able to sketch the scene simply in his mind, and just wanted to make fun of Lin Saiyu a few words, but when he heard her say and cry loudly, he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What are you crying about? ”

Lindsay Yu is homesick, very, very much, but what can she say? Liu Xiaohu thought about it, thinking that this girl was crying because of the reality of her poverty, so she pointed around and smiled: "This little place is actually not worth much, but I don't have any money now." Speaking of this, his tone lowered a little, and then rose again, as if he had made up his mind, "When I become an official in the future, can I help you buy this place?" ”

As soon as he said this, not to mention that Lin Saiyu, who was crying, felt a little weird, and he almost bit his tongue himself, and a question arose in their hearts at the same time, why did (I) ask (him) me to make such a promise?

"Thanks, thank you, your family gave my mother a bowl of hot soup at the beginning," Liu Xiaohu seemed to want to prove something, his face turned red, he stood up, and stammered, "If you hadn't said good things for us in Dibao, I'm afraid that there would be no two of us in this world, and I, Liu Erlang, would repay my kindness." ”

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Lin Saiyu laughed instead, Liu Xiaohu was even more embarrassed by her laughter, and threw down the sentence I walked and pedaled away, Lin Saiyu laughed silly, wiped her tears, and was a little embarrassed about her gaffe, and hurriedly shook off those bad melancholy emotions, and slowly checked around her own shed, and after a while, I saw Cao Saburo slowly pacing over with his hands behind his back, and he didn't think that the lotus root could really sprout in this cold weather. On the contrary, after listening to Lin Saiyu say that in order to ensure the temperature in the shed at night, he needed to add a brazier at night, so he urged Cao Sanlang to build a grass hut on the ground and guard there.

"If you can't sell it for a good price, carefully peel off your skin!" Lu Shi glared at Lin Saiyu and said fiercely, Third Sister Cao, who was already a few months old, clenched her fists at the same time in her mother's arms and raised her head at her sister, as if she was echoing her mother's words.

Lin Saiyu grimaced at her, and the thin and small Third Sister Cao smiled with a mouth full of saliva.

"Dad, I'm watching here, you don't use it." Lindsay Yu hurriedly greeted him.

Cao Saburo sighed and said, "Go back, your mother is looking for you." ”

Lin Saiyu subconsciously slipped the daily errands in her mind, convinced that she came out after she was done, and thought that she had been keeping to herself for the past few days, and there should be no reason to be taught a lesson by Lu, so she asked Cao Sanlang a few words, Cao Saburo only said that she would go back and not say anything about the side, so she had to walk home sullenly, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that under the persimmon tree in the yard, Lu was sitting with a strange woman.
