Most of the beans on the mung bean trees in the slope have turned black, Lan Yi pulls the mung bean seedlings while weeding, there is no time to take care of the field this year, the growth of mung beans is not good, and the weeds in some places have grown to a foot high.

Lan Yi straightened up, took out a handkerchief with a hoe in one hand to wipe her sweat, and smiled sincerely at the cleaned ridges. Today, taking advantage of the moist and soft soil, the mung bean seedlings in the field are cleaned up and the weeds are cleaned up, and the cabbage can be transplanted tomorrow by spreading fertilizer

The winter melon and pumpkin on the other side are growing well, and small hemp yam beans have also grown on the vine and pea of the hemp yam.

Although there were Jia's second uncle and others helping to weed in the field some time ago, the second uncle's family had a lot of fields and gardens, Lin Xilin Yuan was busy with the oil mill shop, the second aunt and Liu's bolt were at home, and the family was also busy, where could they take care of these weeds that kept rising.

"The weeds in this field are inexhaustible, but there is also a lot of fun." She thought, "But pointing to the fields to support the family, looking at the weeds is naturally annoying and upsetting, and in that era, it would be a hundred to apply herbicides directly." There are gains and losses, and that is not natural. ”

"Second sister-in-law, I didn't see you when I went to the house, so I thought you came here." Liu's bright voice came, and Lan Yi turned around and saw her walking over quickly with Sanniuniu in her arms, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

"On this hot day, why did you come here with your child?" Sanniuniu is less than two months old, and Liu is a stuffy person. After the full moon came out of the house, he took her and Er Niuniu around, and there were many people in her family these days, and she didn't go over to make trouble when she couldn't help with her children.

"I have something to talk to my second sister-in-law." When Liu arrived under the low tree on the ground, he took away the fan that shaded the child, and fanned it twice before he continued, "There are many people in the morning, so it's hard to talk." ”

Lan Yi saw beads of sweat on her round face, so she put down the empty basket and let her sit down. Liu gently patted Sanniuniu's back, frowned and whispered, "Second sister-in-law." Did you know that there was a scholar named Liang Yousi living in our garden? ”

"Liang Yousi? I heard Aunt Yao say it. "Could it be that the matter between him and Widow Zheng was known to the villagers?

"I went to the garden a while ago and ran into it, and I asked about my second sister-in-law intentionally or unintentionally, so I naturally ignored him." Liu raised his eyebrows and continued. "I don't think he looks like a scholar, although he is holding a book in his hand, his mind is not in the book at all, this person is afraid that he is coming for the second sister-in-law. Or maybe it's for the kids. We've got to be on guard. ”

"What did he ask me about?" I don't think I have much to worry about, I'm afraid it's for my children.

"I asked my second sister-in-law when she came to our village, and who followed her at that time. These are not secret things, I am afraid that he will know sooner or later. ”

Ask these? Lan Yi was also a little puzzled, could it be that the Wang family in Meixian County was going to have some crooked thoughts? Before leaving, Wang Chengde told her that Wang Mingli, the second master of the Wang family, had stopped a lot since he was warned by his father-in-law not to act rashly, at least he didn't dare to harm Wen Xuan's life again.

But Wen Xuan's existence made it impossible for Wang Mingli to take over the property of the Wang family's big house justifiably, so he naturally wouldn't stop like this. Wang Mingli did not give up receiving Wenxuan under his own name to raise, and listened to Wang Chengde. Except for the old lady of Dafang Zhou, the old people in the clan did not object, and they also knew that Wen Xuan would be five years old next year and would be of the age of joining the clan. In the eyes of the Wang family, the children of the Wang family should naturally join the clan to study, and they can always stay in the countryside! Mrs. Zhou naturally also hopes that her grandson will go back to school, and Wang Chengde also confided in this meaning when he came this time, Lan Yi was difficult to accept but could understand. After all, Wen Xuan, as the grandson of the royal family, can't always stay in this rural place, his education and development have to be considered, and he can't be selfish and keep him by his side, the child will always leave his mother, but he always hopes that this moment will come later.

In the case of failing to ensure Wenxuan's safety, Lan Yi was not at ease to hand him over to anyone. Although Meixian County can enter a better educational environment, and the aspect of receiving people and things has also been improved, it is tantamount to entering the wolf's den, the old lady is not energetic, there are not many people available around her, Wang Chengde's father and son are humble, if others have calculations, I am afraid that they cannot be prevented.

Lan Yi still remembered the oppressive atmosphere in the Wang family's inner house, and she was a little breathless.

Seeing that Lan Yi's face had changed a few times, although he didn't know what she remembered, he also knew that it was not a good thing, so he comforted him: "Second sister-in-law, we can't be bullied by anyone now, just guard against this Liang Yousi in the future." ”

"Thank you brother and sister, Sanniuniu is asleep, you better take her back, I look at the sun and it is getting more and more vicious."

"Hehe, second sister-in-law, your little daughter-in-law, who has just gotten married, what are you going to do when you should be mixing oil in honey." Liu stood up, with a look of "I am a person who has come over, I naturally know", "It's good for you to raise at home, don't be so anxious about the work in the field, besides, we are not short of these two dollars now, right?" ”

Lan Yi smiled, "I also work hard, I like to work in this field, and I have nothing to do when I sit at home." These were her words, and breathing the scent of the earth in the fields seemed very pleasant to her.

"I know that you are diligent, and my mother-in-law tells us every day to learn from you, and don't be a lazy woman all day long." Liu pretended to be annoyed, winked at Lan Yi, and slowly went down the mountain with Sanniuniu. Lan Yi looked at her plump and graceful back compared to before, and felt that this Liu family was still quite good-looking, and she was more feminine than herself, which she couldn't learn.

Later, when Zhou Weiji returned home, he sighed helplessly when he saw Lan Yi's mung bean seedlings stacked in the courtyard, and quickly changed his clothes and rushed to the field.

Lan Yi heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw Zhou Wei coming over quickly, and couldn't help but smile sincerely. Wen Xuan even showed a big smile and called out "Daddy" sweetly.

"You rest, I'll do the rest." Zhou Weiji tied the horse to the ground, rolled up his sleeves and forked the whole pile of mung bean seedlings with a fork. Put it on the donkey cart at the bottom of the slope.

Lan Yi saw him working with his head bored, so he said to Jia's family: "Aunt Yao, Wei Ji's return will be soon." You take Wenxuan back first. ”

"Mother, the baby wants to ride back." Looking at the sunspots grazing leisurely on the ground, he naturally didn't want to go back like this.

Lan Yi smiled: "Didn't you say that you were going to the garden to pick up duck eggs with your brother?" It's time for my brother to get out of school, and if you wait for Daddy to ride over, it'll be too late. ”

As soon as the baby heard this, he immediately shifted his attention, took Jia's hand and was about to set off: "That's it, grandma, let's go quickly." ”

Jia Shi just took off his hat and wiped the thin sweat on his forehead. was dragged by him to the hillside peony garden, waved at Lan Yi and the two and followed the baby.

"Don't worry, you can rest over there and pick it up. Remember to drink water. Seeing the little guy like this, Lan Yi said a word of advice from behind, turned around and cleaned up the bean seedlings with Zhou Weiji.

Zhou Wei was extremely tall and strong, and put a large pile of mung bean seedlings on the donkey cart in a few trips. whispered to Lan Yi, "Let's go home?" ”

Lan Yi nodded. He handed the handkerchief that wiped his sweat to Zhou Weiji: "Don't worry, let's clean up these weeds and put them on." ”

"I'll come, you rest."

Zhou Wei quickly sorted the weeds into piles and loaded them into the cart, tied the sunspot to the back of the donkey cart, helped Lan Yi to get on the horse, and led the donkey home by himself.

Along the way, I met a few villagers who knew each other, and everyone praised Zhou Wei for his daughter-in-law. Lan Yi, who said this, turned red, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. It's hard to express the bitterness in my heart, and I just hope to get to the door as soon as possible so that this kind of exhibition behavior can end.

When she got home, Lan Yi saw Su Yongshen sitting next to the bean seedlings, quickly picking the bean pods with both hands: "Second brother, have you pulled them back?" ”

"Well, it's more than an acre, and there are a lot of pieces in this area." Zhou Wei responded and hugged Lan Yi off the horse, "You go wash and wash, I'll clean up." ”

"Good. Big brother, this life is not in a hurry, you and Wei Ji can rest. Lan Yi patted the soil on her body and said to Zhou Weiji, "You throw the grass you pulled back to the piglets and chickens at home." ”

Zhou Weiji smiled at this time, turned around and tied up the sunspot and started to work.

After dinner, Zhou Weiji and Su Yongshen chatted in the courtyard while picking pods, Wen Xuan followed the blind beside him, Lan Yi said a few times, this work is not in a hurry, and the two of them do not rest.

In the end, Lan Yi lit wormwood to repel mosquitoes, and after he and Jia cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, they also joined the team of picking pods. Not only Lan Yi, but the whole family had a smile on their faces, they could be said to be not real farmers, but they got together for various reasons, doing farm work so lively, feeling the down-to-earth feeling of the farmer's harvest, it was so comfortable. This scene appeared in everyone's memories every time, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but pull up.

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhou Weiji went to the house on Tuesday, borrowed a plough stick and oxen, and Wei Peng helped to spread fertilizer on the slope before going to the yamen, Lan Yi and Jia Shi planted more than 200 cabbages and watered them, and most of the remaining fields were sprinkled with some spinach and celery seeds, and they couldn't eat and sell them as an income.

This night, Zhou Weiji sat behind Lan Yi, kneaded her shoulders for her, and asked, "What else do you have to do next?" ”

"Well...... fertilize our back hillside deeply, prepare the foot fertilizer for a month, and transplant the peony seedlings, and then almost the peony seeds in the peony garden can be harvested." Lan Yi said softly, "It's okay to say otherwise, our bottom fat is still poor." ”

When Zhou Weiji heard her say "we", his natural tone and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "The bottom fertilizer is the farmhouse fertilizer to be ripe?" ”

"It's not just farm fertilizer, what you see on the edge of the garden is the oil residue pulled from the oil mill, which is used to apply winter fertilizer to the peonies and slopes in the garden, but I don't take into account our newly opened eight acres of hillside, I'm afraid it is not enough." Lan Yi thought for a moment and tried to ask, "Wei Ji, is there a horse farm or something like this in our county?" We can go collect some manure and use it. ”

"There is no horse farm, but there are hundreds of war horses in the army, I will ask tomorrow, it should not be a problem." Zhou Weiji said, "What's next, what else do we have to be busy with?" ”

"What's next? Well, we don't plant cauliflower buckwheat, we have to plant winter wheat on the two acres of land on the hillside, and the peonies in the peony garden must be cleaned up before winter, and the rest is chores. By the way, you can go tomorrow to see if there are any mushroom fungus, this rain should be longer, if you pick it, I will stew it for everyone to drink. Lan Yi squinted, comfortably thinking about the harvest, and felt Zhou Weiji's hand suddenly, and the strength increased by two points, she hurriedly said, "Of course, when you go to the woods, you only go around the edge, and then you have to go with Weiji, or with the people in the village." ”

Zhou Wei replied in a very low voice, and then said: "Don't you feel hard like this? "Every day when I see other people's daughters-in-law, they are all dressed up and standing on the side of the road chatting, since I met Lan Yi, she has been busy every day, and rarely sees her when she is idle.

Lan Yi shook her head: "It's not hard, it sounds like a lot of work, but in fact, there are only a few things that must be done, and the rest is what I want to do." ”

Zhou Weiji was silent for a moment, hugged Lan Yi in his arms, and emphasized again: "Daughter-in-law, you only do what you want to do, and leave me to do the rest." ”

"Okay, I'll keep you when you're tired." Lan Yi raised a cheerful tone and asked him rhetorically, "Wei Ji, what are you going to do next?" ”

Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, felt a warm current brush his whole body, and chuckled twice: "Ploughing the field." ”

After that, he suppressed Lan Yi's soft lips and began to plough the field, but fortunately, he still knew that Lan Yi had worked hard in the past two days, and he had restrained a little bit of strength.

The lights in Lan Yi's house were extinguished, and the firelight on Su Yongshen's side was still flickering.

Su Yongshen squatted in the courtyard, the paper money in the copper basin in front of him turned to ashes with the firelight, and his hoarse voice was no longer gentle and calm: "Mei'er, are you and the girl okay over there?" ”

The only thing that answered him was the chirping of insects.

A few tears fell quietly on the ashes, silently. "I now have a place to settle down and grow old, if you and the girl have not yet been reincarnated, come here too, we will meet one day."

He looked up at the Cowherd and Weaver Girl looking at each other from afar in the sky, and said in a low voice: "I look forward to meeting, I am afraid of meeting, and my face will be changed for ten years." The hatred of the family and the country will be avenged, so that the rest of the life can be lost."

No matter how happy or sad it is, heaven and earth are still circulating according to the law.
