Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

There are many bamboos and locust trees in Zhuyuan Village. The two of them didn't go far. There were several locust trees along the Yue River.

It was planted not long ago and the branches are not high, but they are quite good.

Liu Yu held the bamboo pole, raised her head and looked at the branch to be broken off. She raised the bamboo pole with both hands, hung the branch with the hook tied at the top, and twisted it gently with skill.

There was a slight "stuck" sound!

A small locust branch with leaves and flowers fell in response.

Chang Sheng was busy, so he took the basket and went to pick it up.

After a while, a basket full of locust tree branches was collected.

"Okay, let's take this for now, and then we'll fold it again tomorrow after eating!"

Clusters of locust flowers grow among the locust leaves. The locust leaves are so bitter that no other domestic animals, except sheep, like to eat them.

The torn locust flowers were piled up in a small pot, and the locust branches were not thrown away. They were scattered in the open space aside, and they were all used as firewood after they were dried in the sun.

"Why can't I reach the flower bones? The flowers have not bloomed and they are not sweet when steamed!"

Nian came from the backyard and said.

"Eat this fried!" I still have white flour at home, wrap the unopened flower bones and fry them in oil, not to mention how fragrant it is.

It was almost evening, so Liu Yu and Changsheng took out most of the sophora flowers, washed them twice with water, washed away the dust, put them into the stove basket, and let them drain.

Dinner was very simple, with millet noodles mixed with white flour and steamed multigrain wowo, and a pot of white flour porridge was cooked.

Heat a small pot, add vegetable oil to moisten the pot, and after the oil is hot, pour the sophora flowers mixed with salt and coated in flour into the pot.

The Sophora japonica mix is ​​quite dry, with distinct grains and little sticking.

Soon, the fragrance of sophora flowers dissipated with the pot gas, and the fragrance of oil also floated.

The color also changed from white to fragrant and slightly yellow.

When some of it is slightly burnt, it can be taken out of the pot.

It was the first time for Xiaoxue to eat sophora flowers like this. It was so novel that she kept picking it up with chopsticks. The sophora flowers were so fried that she couldn't even pick up a few pieces at a time.

Liu Yu couldn't help but smile when she saw Xiaoxue's anxious look as she ate the sophora flowers with oily and fragrant noodles.

"Here you go, use this!"

Changsheng still couldn't see it, so he stood up and took out a spoon from the chopstick cage and handed it to Xiaoxue.

"Thank you, Uncle Changsheng!"

Xiaoxue took the spoon and said sweetly, then dug out a few spoonfuls of sophora flowers, put them into the porridge bowl, and asked Liu Meixiang to put some chili oil for her!

"Why is this kid eating like this? This porridge is not salty!"

Liu Meixiang took the bowl and couldn't help but frown.

"It's enough when you're full. If it's salty, eat it as salty porridge!" Nian said nonchalantly. Everyone had to mix in the same place, but they just mixed in earlier and later.

Liu Meixiang couldn't help but put a few drops of chili oil on Xiaoxue.

During the meal break, Liu Fusheng explained that the sweet potato sprouts were starting to grow. The remaining sweet potatoes in the cellar should not be touched again!

After dinner, it was getting dark, so Chang Sheng stayed at home to clean up the pots and wash the dishes.

Liu Yu and Liu Meixiang went to Liu Maolin's and Liu Maoye's homes together, taking the fabric they pulled today and the money they counted yesterday.

According to the order of approaching first and then far, the two of them arrived at Liu Maoye's house.

Xu Shi had just finished eating, and Xu Hong was washing the dishes in the kitchen. With the light coming from the kitchen, Liu Maolin was watching Lu Ya and Brother Qi playing in the courtyard. When he saw the two of them pushing the door in, he hurriedly asked if they were there. what's up.

Seeing Liu Maolin's nervous expression, Liu Yu hurriedly said that there was nothing going on at home and came over to deliver some things.

Liu Yan and Zhao Tianyu heard the noise in the room, and walked out holding a child.

Liu Yu explained the purpose of his visit in a few words, and took out a piece of stone green and a red ruler from the basket on his back, saying that it was a thank-you gift for Liu Yan and Xu Hong.

Liu Yan was fine with it, but Xu Hong was happy. She praised Liu Yu and Liu Yu happily, saying that she liked the color choice.

When he took out two strings of copper coins, Liu Maolin said that he would not accept them at all. He only said that it was not easy for them, but it was just a small favor. The family did not have to worry about it so clearly, and urged the two of them to take it back quickly.

"Uncle is considerate of us. We all know that it's just that it's not just the second brother and aunt who have it. The eldest brother and sister-in-law also have it. If my aunt doesn't take it, how can the eldest brother and sister-in-law be willing to take it? They have been busy from dawn to dusk in the past few days and can't even take care of the family. I am like this I feel so sorry!"

"This is a sign of filial piety between Ayu and my daughter. You are not going to make the children feel cold by refusing like this! It's too disrespectful!"

Xu Hong took the two bunches of money, handed the smaller bunch to Liu Yan, and said cheerfully.

Liu Yan was a little embarrassed to take it and handed it to Zhao Tianyu who was holding the baby beside her.

"You bitch, it's really...it's really..."

Liu Maolin sighed happily, stamped his feet, and turned back to his room.

Everyone knew about his temper, but they didn't realize it was anything. The oil lamp in the main room was already lit. Through the dim light, Liu Yu took a look at the baby they were holding.

The two children's eyes were wide open and they were very energetic. Liu Yu asked curiously: "What time do they go to bed? They seem to be more energetic than me!"

"It's only half an hour before the warehouse is full, but it's time for Ruyi to be handed over!"

Zhao Tianyu had dark circles under her eyes, and she was a little sleepy and haggard. It was obvious that she had stayed up late.

"This is too tiring!"

Liu Yu glanced at the toothless smiling Ruyi baby, and felt sympathy for Zhao Tianyu and Liu Yan.

After saying goodbye to Xu Hong and others, they went to the home of their third uncle Liu Maoye.

Fortunately, the two families are not too far apart, and the door of Liu Maoye's house has been bolted.

Liu Shan heard the knock on the door and hurriedly opened the door. While welcoming the two of them into the house, he said, "Why are you here now? What's the matter?"

Nianshi and Liu Fusheng have grown old in recent years, and the two families are most afraid of Liu Yu calling the door late at night, fearing that something is wrong with the two elders.

Liu Yu briefly stated the purpose of his visit. After Liu Shan listened, he hurriedly called Liu Fan and Chen Jinmei.

Liu Maoye and Qi Chunhua were soaking their feet. When they heard their arrival, they quickly asked them to go into the east room to talk.

After chatting for a while, Liu Fan and Chen Jinmei hurriedly dressed.

It was really not late now, so the two of them didn't want to sit down for too long, so they hurriedly took out the ruler and two strings of copper coins and handed them to them.

Chen Jinmei took one look at her parents-in-law's expressions. Although she was happy, she didn't say anything.

"It's for you, just take it!"

Although Qi Chunhua was a little greedy for the two strings of copper coins, she thought that her son was about to be hired. At this juncture, it was really not appropriate to offend her eldest daughter-in-law, so she just let her accept it!

Chen Jinmei happily took the copper coin and the ruler, and said with a smile: "This purple ruler will be used to make new clothes for my mother. I will wear it when Rishanzi gets married, to keep her dignity!"

"This color suits you just right. At my age, I get laughed at for wearing it!"

The eldest daughter-in-law's words were endearing, and Qi Chunhua was happy to hear them, so she forgot about the reluctance in her heart.

"If you force me like this, I won't survive!"

Suddenly, a loud cry came, and several people were startled and hurriedly walked out.

When they reached the entrance of the courtyard, the voice became clearer and clearer.

"It seems to be Tian Fugui's family, not Brother Ying!"

Qi Chunhua was surprised and confused. Brother Ying was dignified and steady. He never played with the aunts and uncles in the village. He was a man of one word, who spoke little and was very steady.

The sounds became more intense, and the cries and curses became clearer with the speed of several people.

When a few people arrived, they saw that someone had already lit several torches.

In the flickering light of the fire, Huang Ying's hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and the wounds on her forehead were full of blood stains!

With tears mixed with blood and eyes filled with despair and misery, Ren and Xu Liang's mother-in-law, Li, were holding her tightly, shouting that they were seeking death!

Shui Sanmei was being mixed up by Tian Fugui and Chang Xi, breathing heavily, pointing at Brother Ying with trembling fingers, her eyes filled with hatred.
