Chapter 52: Chapter 10: A Father's Mind (5)

"Official affairs must be done, and filial piety must also be fulfilled. "Since you're back, fill the water tank at home, chop the firewood under the stove, and remove the weeds in the vegetable garden and rice field before leaving." The weeds we have here are different from the outside, and they are more tender and fatty than pigweed, which is the best feed for pigs. ”

"No!" the nerd thought for a while, and couldn't refuse, he should have done his filial piety for the starter. Then he walked to the stove, picked up the bucket and went to fetch water. I suddenly remembered that I didn't know where the well was, and I was stunned for a while.

"Miao Yu, take him to the well to fetch water. Uncle Bai said when he saw this.

"Hey. Miao Yu put down the washed broom in his hand, turned around and went to the stove to take two pieces of cooking cakes and handed them to the nerd, "Let's go." ”

"Are you the third brother's daughter-in-law?" the nerd asked after eating the cooking cake.

"Hmm. Miao Yu responded.

"Why didn't you see the third brother mention you?" the nerd asked.

"Your third brother and I are not officially married," Miao Yu said softly, "On the night of the engagement, your third brother ran away and ran away with my dowry. ”

"Ran away with your dowry?" exclaimed the nerd.

"How can I run away from home and have no money?" Miao Yu said.

"You don't hate?" the nerd asked.

"What do you hate? He's not out to do anything bad. Miao Yu said.

"You don't have a little bit of hatred after all these years of not coming back?" the nerd asked again.

"That's because he didn't finish things well, as long as he got things done and did them well, he would come back. Miao Yu sighed.

The nerd opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The nerd filled the water tank and split the firewood until noon.

"Let's eat, and then put the firewood neatly after eating. Uncle Bai greeted.

Maybe it's familiar, maybe it's the nerd who really thinks of it as his home. He sat at the dining table, watching Miao Yu serving food and rice, busy back and forth, the blue and white wrap skirt on his body was slightly sweaty, which highlighted the graceful figure of Feng Yun Ting. Although the engagement wine was held, Miao Yu still combed his beard, and when he saw this, a smile unconsciously appeared on the nerd's face.

"Son, eat. Uncle Bai greeted the idiot and startled.

"Eat, eat more, are you tired of carrying water and chopping firewood in the morning?" asked Uncle Bai.

"Not tired. The nerd said.

"After eating, I'll put firewood, you and Miao Yu will go and clean up the vegetable garden, grasp it tightly, and strive to finish it in the afternoon." Go to the fields tomorrow, and in two or three days you will be gone. Uncle Bai said.

"Please rest assured, Father. The nerd replied.

Uncle Bai's vegetable garden is about one acre, and if you don't grasp it, you can't get it in the afternoon. Fortunately, Miao Yu is quick with his hands and feet, and he is a good hand at farm work.

"How?" Miao Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Compared to marching and fighting, that one is more tired?"

The nerd saw that Miao Yu's sideburns were a little loose, his nose was agitated, his lips were slightly open and he was panting lightly, and there were beads of sweat on his face that had an indescribable charm, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

"What are you talking about?" Miao Yu said, picked up the jug and poured a bowl of water and handed it to the nerd, "Drink a bowl of water and take a breath." ”

"Oh," the nerd asked, taking the water, "what did you just ask me?"

"Ask if you are tired from doing farm work or from fighting. Miao Yu said.

"This farm work," the idiot rubbed his waist, "always bending over and hunching his back like this, it hurts his waist too much, and it is better to fight!"

"I said," Miao Yu said, "Men always want to be soldiers, because they are too tired to do farm work." ”

"It's not ......," the nerd said.

"That's it," Miao Yu said, pointing to a big tree, "there's a stone slab under that tree, you can go and rest for a while." ”

"I'm not tired. The nerd drank the water in one gulp.

"That's it, that's it, I'm uncomfortable looking at your working posture, so you'd better go and rest for a while. After Miao Yu finished speaking, he went to work on his own.

The idiot stood stupidly for a moment, put the tea bowl down, and walked under the tree. As soon as I sat on the bluestone slab, I felt refreshed, I couldn't help stretching my body, lying on it, the coolness instantly invaded my spleen and lungs, and I didn't feel my heart moving. In a trance, fluttering like clouds and fog into the mountains and forests. In the forest, the fog was hazy, and there was a girl with a double beard and a blue and white wrapping skirt, waving the peach blossoms in her hand to greet him from afar.
