"I was negligent."

Niu Da blushed and apologized.

Qin Liusu was stunned for a moment, and Xuanji laughed, "Brother Niu is really hearty, I'm just joking." ”

"Qin Guliang, you are finally back, and you don't go, the old body has been waiting here for a long time."

Aunt Sun saw Qin Liusu and stepped forward.

"Why is the eldest lady standing here?"

"Alas, I'm not waiting for you, I'm afraid you won't find someone to run to, and I'm worried."

Qin Liusu had a warm current flowing through his heart, this was the only person in the world who cared about him except for his deceased parents.

Qin Liusu lowered his head, and tears fell to the ground with tears in his eyes.

"Why are you still crying?"

Aunt Sun grabbed Qin Liusu's hand.

"You don't have to worry, you will live with me in the future, as long as I and the old man have a bite to eat, there will definitely be no shortage of you."

Aunt Sun stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on Qin Liusu's face, and Qin Liusu, who was too rough with her hands, was a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, Aunt Qin, don't cry here, this makes the people who come and go to the market see the jokes, and think what we did to you!"

Niu Da led the ox cart and joked, and the three of them immediately laughed, and Qin Liusu didn't care about his red and swollen eyes.

At this moment, Qin Liusu returned to Aunt Sun's house, and he could be regarded as having a support.

At this time, it was already three poles in the sun, and the smoke of cooking rose from every house, Aunt Sun and Qin Liusu went straight home, and Niu Da also parted ways with them at the crossing, no matter how the two kept eating, Niu Da refused.

Walking into the courtyard, Uncle Sun came back from the field early, squatting beside the stove by himself, fiddling with the flames.

"Coming back? Then wash your hands and eat. ”

Uncle Sun was not a little surprised by Qin Liusu's return, too, he must have known it, otherwise he would not let Niu Da pick him up.

Qin Liusu turned around and entered the main hall, only then did he see Sun Ting's ranking on the table, Qin Liusu sighed, put down the package he was carrying, took out the incense wrapped in the fabric, bowed, and then rolled up his sleeves and went out to work.

Qin Liusu wanted to intervene to help, but was rejected by the second elder of the Sun family, so Qin Liusu had no choice but to sit aside with a basin of water and wash his hands.

The meal had already been prepared, and Aunt Sun moved the meal to a simple shed built against a big tree on the side, and also brought a stool to beckon Qin Liusu to take a seat.

It's noon, but it's in the shade of the tree, the breeze is gusting, but it's also very comfortable, at least it's not so hot, the only thing that makes people feel bored is the noisy crying of the tree Zhizhi.

"Sit down."

Uncle Sun is silent, looks honest and dedicated, but his heart is very delicate.

Qin Liusu stood up and bowed to the second elder of the Sun family.

"Yesterday, if it wasn't for the second elder to save me back, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I would have become a part of the white bones on the side of the road now, today, the second elder asked the big brother Niu to find me back, great kindness, I Qin Liusu and a weak female stream have nothing to repay, if I want to come, I can only serve the second elder!"

Aunt Sun hurriedly stood up, terrified.

"Qin Guliang, don't make this big gift, sit down quickly." Uncle Sun also sat down at that time, and said to Qin Liusu: "We are not saints, it's just that you have a relationship with our two elders, I had a dream the night before yesterday, and I dreamed of my daughter who died early...... Alas......"

Uncle Sun sighed and continued: "My daughter told me that she is doing well now, and told us not to worry, and said that the guests in this family who have come back in the past few days let us take care of them, I originally thought it was just a dream, but I didn't expect to meet you, you are somewhat similar to my child who died early, and this is the case, so we left you behind." ”

After hearing this, Qin Liusu lifted her skirt and knelt down.

"The sky is above, I, Qin Liusu, a former person from Fengcheng, now, recognize the second elder of the Sun family as my godparents, move to Baicheng, and serve the second elder until the end of the year."

"Okay, you hurry up, then now, you are also our goddaughter, but my child ......"

At the mention of this, Aunt Sun cried again, Uncle Sun was a little angry, so he scolded him, so he gave up.

Looking at the bowl full of chicken, Qin Liusu bit his mouth, a little ashamed, but the guilt in his heart still spoke.

"I see that the second elder is not a rich family, so I really can't repay me, since I think I recognize you as my godparents, then, your second elder still needs to know about my past."

Qin Liusu cleared his throat, and then he spoke: "I was originally from Fengcheng, and these two elders also know, my father is a down-and-out old talent, so he can only teach in the countryside to support us, thanks to the blessing of my old father, I can read some words, and I am the only one in the family, my mother left us because of a serious illness in the early years." ”

As if he didn't want to recall the past, Qin Liusu said something intermittently, but in the end he finished it all.

"I was engaged to be married when I came out of my mother's womb, and I was the son of a rich man over there, and I was originally happy with each other, but later, this negative man married her because of his love for vanity and coveted beauty, and drove me out The two elders also know, but even if the beast still has a little conscience, he gave me a few taels of silver as a coil, and thanks to the second elder who did not dislike me and took me in."

The second elder of the Sun family sighed, "They are all lovely people!" Come on, don't mention the past, let's eat. ”

After eating, the sun was too scorching to work in the field, so Uncle Sun stayed at home and chopped the firewood for daily use.

After Qin Liusu placed his things, he closed the door, looked at the second elder of the Sun family who was working in the shade, took a towel, and slowly paced over.

"Uncle, give it, wipe the sweat."

Qin Liusu handed the towel to Uncle Sun, who did not refuse and took it.

Qin Liusu saw that the object in Aunt Sun's hand was a little strange, so he leaned over and asked.

"Auntie, what is this?"

"Oh, you say this," Aunt Sun picked up the rolled grate and explained to Qin Liusu: "This is our unique toy here, made into such a semi-finished product, from time to time someone will come to buy it, and it can also make some money to supplement the domestic helper." Come to think of it, Fengcheng is also not on the south side of the top, and you haven't seen it. ”

Aunt Sun kept moving while talking, Qin Liusu looked at it for a while, felt that it was almost there, and also picked one up from the ground, and learned it in a good way, it was not bad, and it was much better than the experienced Aunt Sun.

"I'm still a young man with good eyesight, but I'm old, and my eyes are useless."

Qin Liusu laughed, "How could it be? The eldest lady is still so young, I think she is also a flower in the village! ”

Uncle Sun on the side was amused and laughed, which made Aunt Sun a little embarrassed.

Qin Liusu suddenly thought of a question, "Auntie, I don't know how many acres of land we have, but it's enough to eat?" ”

Uncle Sun put down the axe in his hand, wiped his sweat, and said: "Where there are so many, there are only three acres of land, excluding the taxes paid, there is not much left, so I have to do some other work with your aunt on weekdays to earn money, work hard to maintain, and I can't eat enough and starve to death." ”

Qin Liusu secretly lowered his head and thought, but the movements in his hands did not stop, "Originally, the life of these two elders was really not easy, but now, the kind hand has taken me in, and it is not even worse?" No, I have to do something to subsidize it. ”

Qin Liusu secretly made up his mind, and on the surface, he was still calm.

Time was almost gone, Uncle Sun watched the sun gradually go down, pushed open the inner door, picked up the barrel and was about to go out, Qin Liusu put down the work in his hand and followed, no matter how the second elder persuaded him, it was useless, Uncle Sun had no choice but to let her follow.

Qin Liusu went to the field and saw that his heart was not good, the weather was too hot, and the crops in the field were dying, and some of them simply gave up the struggle, and the corpses had already dried up under the direct rays of the scorching sun.

"Every year there is a drought and heat, and the harvest in the past few years has been really bad."

Uncle Sun sighed, turned around, and told Qin Liusu: "You stand there, I'll go to the river to get some water." ”

Of course Qin Liusu refused, insisted on working together, snatched the wooden barrel in Uncle Sun's hand, and ran forward.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, when she finally arrived at the river, Qin Liusu fetched a bucket of water, and when she picked it up, she was a little struggling, and her body was still very weak.

Uncle Sun followed closely and took in the scene early.

"Let's come, your heat stroke is still not good, your body is too weak, by the way, you still drink the medicine in Xu Lang?"

Thinking of the herbs, Qin Liusu was stunned for a moment, as if he had landed in a cow-sized ox cart.

"It seems to have landed in an ox cart."

When Uncle Sun heard this, he waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll get it back when I finish cleaning up the field." ”

The two worked together and soon completed the task of watering.

Qin Liusu looked at the soybeans that were growing well, and felt a little in his heart: "Soybeans are still drought tolerant, you look at the wheat next to you, it's all gone." ”

Uncle Sun nodded, "I also listened to the words of the old Xiucai who rushed from here, he said that this year's drought will be worse than in previous years, and asked me to plant some soybeans to ensure the harvest, and I also get up early and return late every day to water them, which finally lives up to my expectations." ”

After following Uncle Sun to water three acres of soybeans, Qin Liusu returned home.

I didn't see Aunt Sun, but I saw Niu Da, who was holding three packets of herbs in his hand, standing outside the fence, scratching his head.

"Niu Da, why are you doing here? What do you do if you don't go in? ”

Uncle Sun saw Niu Da from a distance and said hello.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Aunt Qin's herbs fell into my ox cart, and I didn't pay attention to it for a while, until my little sister saw it just now, and I specially sent it to you."

Qin Liusu took the herb in Niu Da's hand and thanked him, Niu Da waved his hand, "I don't know where Aunt Sun went?" I shouted a lot and no one answered me, okay, I will leave first when I deliver the medicine. ”

Uncle Sun nodded, hurriedly thanked him, pushed open the fence, and walked in.

Qin Liusu looked at Niu Da's back, suddenly thought of something, pulled his legs forward, and stopped Niu Da who was advancing.

"Brother Niu, do you still want to go to the county seat tomorrow? Can you bring me along? ”

Niu Da thought for a moment, "I'm also going, and the firewood from Wang Yuanwai's house in the east of the county should be sent over." ”

Qin Liusu nodded, "Then you bring me with you when you go tomorrow." ”

"Why is my sister-in-law still looking for someone?"

Listening to Niu Da's surprised tone, Qin Liusu couldn't help but want to laugh.

"I want to go to the city and see what works for me."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

After the two discussed, they went home.

After eating dinner and drinking herbs, Qin Liusu pushed open the door, moved in the wooden barrel, and took a bath happily, washing away the sour smell and bad luck on his body.

After taking a shower, Qin Liusu opened the package, which contained a few shabby clothes and some worthless jewelry.

Qin Liusu took advantage of the light of the kerosene lamp to look at the purse.

Qin Liusu turned off the lights early and fell asleep, but she didn't fall asleep, she just lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

After a while, the woman who was still struggling in bed fell asleep early, still snoring, and didn't know what she dreamed about, and said a few words from time to time, but she couldn't understand it.
