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

When everyone heard that Tian Xiuxiu had bruises on her body, they were shocked and scolded Shui Sanmei.

"How can this girl be so cruel? How can she say that the flesh that fell from her body is not the flesh that has fallen from her body? This Xiuxiu is the youngest child. Although she is usually a bit squeamish, she will slowly teach her how to do it."

Xu Hong frowned and opened her mouth to curse.

Chen Jinmei hesitated to speak. She looked around and saw that the nearest working villager was still a hundred meters away. Fang whispered: "It wasn't her mother who beat her, it was Changshou who beat her."

"He wants to show off for whatever reason."

"I don't know, I hear him cursing at home every day these days. First his parents could hold it down, but yesterday morning the dishes were all thrown and people ran away." Their family lives quite close to Hotan Fugui's house.

Most rural houses have a fence around them as their yard. Some houses with thicker foundations have an adobe wall. No matter what kind of yard wall, the louder the sound, the louder it is.

Yesterday morning, there was a quarrel and shouting in the Tian family. After the quarrel, Tian Changshou rolled up his things and ran away.

"This Changsheng has grown tall and thick since he was a child. He is always causing trouble, and now he even beats his own family. Damn, this is also a blessing for Tian Fugui and Shui Sanmei." Nian couldn't help cursing when she thought of Changsheng's hardships in the Tian family.

After spending the past few days together, she could understand Chang Sheng's temperament. For such a docile and kind child, just thinking about how much suffering he had to endure after staying in that den of tigers and wolves for so many years made Nian feel heartbroken.

Liu Yu frowned and said nothing. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the burns and burns on Changsheng's chest, and told him directly that it was Tian Changsheng who did it. If Tian Changsheng was really Tian Changsheng, then this man was born bad. Planted.

You still have to find opportunities and seek confirmation from Changsheng.

When Liu Yu returned home, she first went to Xici's house to take a look at Changsheng. Seeing that he was still picking bean seeds, she couldn't help but said, "The ones I picked out can't even plant ten acres."

Changsheng raised his head and smiled at Liu Yu, not knowing what to say. He knew Liu Yu was joking with him, but he just didn't know how to respond.

"Are you hungry?" Liu Yu grabbed a handful of beans and picked them up too.

"It's not bad, I had more lunch."

Liu Yu wanted to ask him about the scars on his body, but seeing that he was smiling and didn't want to bring up this bad thing, he hid what he was about to say.

"Rest your neck for a while. I'm going to cook the chestnuts that grandpa picked up earlier. Let's try to see if this year's chestnuts are powdery and glutinous."

In the kitchen, Mr. Nian was preparing dinner, and Liu Fusheng was sitting in front of the stove to light the fire. Seeing Liu Yu coming over at this moment, he just thought it was to bring food to Changsheng.

"The food won't be ready for a while."

"I'm going to boil the chestnuts that grandpa picked up earlier, and let's taste them too."

There are two pots inside and outside the kitchen. The old lady uses the big pot for cooking. The smaller pot outside is free at this time.

Liu Yu scooped up water, washed the chestnuts, washed away the floating dust, and started to add water to light the fire.

Soon, the pot lid started to steam.

"Save the firewood, let's eat first, let's simmer for a while before it becomes glutinous." The dinner in the big pot has been prepared, and the old lady directed Liu Yu while lifting the lid of the pot.

"Hey, I got it." Liu Yu added two more firewood to the stove before standing up to get the meal together.

The meal in the big pot is very simple, including a large bowl of steamed smooth egg custard, a bowl of steamed rice with clear grains, vegetable nests on a bamboo grate, and a bowl of chili paste mixed with white noodles.

Liu Yu brought out the chili paste. This was the dish for the three of them tonight.

Nian placed the egg custard and white rice on the tray and told Liu Yu: "Bring it to Changsheng. It's a bit cold today. The food will cool quickly, so cook it quickly."

Liu Yu took the tray, feeling sour and soft at the same time: "I'll steam the egg custard tomorrow, and I'll steam a bowl for you and Grandpa. We have enough eggs."

"What we eat is not eating. How can we argue with a wounded patient about his stuttering? Go ahead."

After sending Liu Yu away, Nian smiled at Liu Fusheng who was washing his hands and said, "Sure enough, he is going to start a family. Even a bowl of egg custard is thought of us."

After dinner, Liu Fusheng took the medicine for longevity again, turned around and started calling Liu Yu: "The medicine for longevity is the last one. I will invite Dr. Zhao here tomorrow and feel his pulse again to see if he needs to change it." prescription."

"I'm going to the mountains tomorrow. Let's hear what Dr. Zhao has to say." After that, he went back to the house to get a dime of broken silver and handed it to Liu Fusheng: "This is the medical fee and medicine fee tomorrow. Please keep it."

Liu Fusheng was not polite to Liu Yu. He took the silver coin and put it into his old lady's hand and said, "Let your grandma save it for you to buy some furniture when you get married in the next year."

When Liu Yu heard what her grandpa said, she felt a little embarrassed, but she pretended to be generous and thanked her grandma, then pointed out something and ran away.

Liu Fusheng and Nian looked at each other with smiles in their eyes: "This child..."

Just as he was about to say something, he heard footsteps coming towards the courtyard gate.

The two elders both held their breaths and looked into the shadows. When the person coming was revealed under the light of the oil lamp, they hurriedly stepped forward and helped to unfasten the bolts on the fence door.

"Have you eaten? How come your two families are together?"

Saying that, he was busy letting people into the house.

"I'm not the eldest brother yet. He called us all over at night and beat him up. He said it was not easy for Brother Yu to grow up. Ah Fan and the other three brothers should not deceive him as a brother."

Liu Maoye felt bitter when he mentioned his eldest brother. He also said something even worse, saying that he was trying to use his grandson to invade the second eldest brother's family fortune, and he had no shame in trying to emulate this to his mother.

He really didn't have the heart to do so. According to his previous thoughts, it was something that could only be mentioned by his parents a hundred years after Brother Yu got married. According to his thoughts, it was an equal share between the three brothers Liu Fan, Liu Yan, and Liu Shan.

After all, the second brother's future incense must be enshrined by someone, and the third brother did not get the second uncle's things for nothing. He never thought about monopolizing the family property and land.

Liu Fusheng and Nian knew from the look on San'er's face that what he said was untrue, but since the boss could beat all the men in the family, they probably accepted Brother Yu's recruitment.

This is a good thing. Naturally, the old lady would not undermine the eldest son. She only looked at San'er and said, "Your eldest brother is the most kind in what he says and does. He will never harm his relatives. You just listen to what your eldest brother says."

After speaking, he glanced at the three grandsons standing underneath from the corner of his eyes.

"We all listen to grandpa and grandma. Brother Yu has a hard fist. We still hope that he will protect him and we will not dare to bully him again." Liu Fan took a step forward and made a joke.

"I'm sorry you don't dare. Anyone who bullies Brother Yu and Changsheng will be in trouble with us two elders. Please don't come to my door in the future."

Yes, there will be one more person who cannot be offended.

The three cousins ​​hurriedly promised that they would never be that kind of people. They told the old lady to just rest assured that if anyone bullied Changsheng in the future, they would have trouble with them.

When the old lady heard what her three grandsons said, she let them go.

It's not too much, after all, they don't stir food in the same pot, let outsiders see that they are a harmonious family, and they don't dare to make bad decisions easily.

"Grandma, these are the clothes my wife made for Changsheng. I only sewed them one-piece. Let me get them first." Liu Yan took out a neatly folded azure-colored coarse cotton padded robe from the basket he brought.

"Tianyu's hands are so fast, she sewed the whole thing so quickly." Nian took the clothes and touched them carefully. The cotton felt soft, and with cotton added inside, it was very warm to the touch.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law." As the third uncle said just now, Liu Yu couldn't go out to say hello. Now she heard that Zhao Tianyu had already sewn a cotton suit, so she took advantage of this gap to come out of the room.

He thanked Liu Yan and said hello to his third uncle and three cousins.

"Brother Yu, when are we going to go to the mountains to get mountain goods and go to the black mouth?" Liu Shan saw the real owner coming, and hurriedly squeezed forward and asked.

"Tomorrow, I've thought about it. Let's just hunt chestnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts and the like. These things are forbidden and can withstand bumps, so you don't have to worry about taking care of them on the long road."

Liu Yu has thought about this for a long time. It stands to reason that the mushrooms on the mountain are also quite delicious, but the distance is too far, and the quality of the mushrooms transported there will definitely not be better, and the price will definitely be severely reduced.

"Sure, we are almost busy with the work in the fields. Let's go up the mountain tomorrow. We can only drive two cars in the past few days. The road will be dry by then, so we can hit the road." Liu Shan was confident in his heart. , after a little summing up, it seems feasible.

"Let's keep this secret and don't let the villagers know about it. Now we discuss things at home without Goudan. When you go back, don't say it in front of Luya and Brother Qi." Liu Fan began to turn around and tell Liu wild goose.

"Our Lu Ya and Qi Ge are the most well-behaved, and they never gossip." Liu Yan is still young, but when he talks about his two children, he looks proud and loving.

Liu Fan was about to retort, but when he saw Liu Yu looking at him with a half-smile, his face became a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly apologized to Liu Yu and begged for mercy.

"Humph, brother, I hate talking too much. Although we were naughty in the past, we were still polite. Recently, we have been talking nonsense because we didn't know we were in the same boat and got closer. I won't argue with my nephew, but If he grows crooked, who can my elder brother and sister-in-law count on in the future?"

Liu Yu still remembered that his aunt told him what Goudan said. He was really disgusted with this woman and felt uncomfortable thinking about it. Taking advantage of today's talk, he also secretly gave Goudan's aunt some eye drops.

"No, it can't be..."

"Brother, I just want to think about what Tian Fugui and his mother-in-law are going through now, and you will know whether it is alarmist talk." Liu Yu didn't want to say more, but he still said that he is not his own child. If he talks too much, he will inevitably get upset. He has already said that today Talkative.

What happened to Tian Fugui and Shui Sanmei recently? The two people who used to go to the fields as much as possible have been carrying farm tools to work in the fields every day these days. The three children at home can't help at all.

Chang Xi has been weak since he was a child. He has been recovering from his illness at home these days. He insists that working in the fields is just a waste of money, and it is not as worry-free as working for eight or nine-year-old children.

I don’t know where Changshou has gone. Listening to Shui Sanmei’s crying today, she said that she took away all the money at home. Shui Sanmei’s forehead is still bruised. She said she accidentally knocked it. Who would believe it? Na!

As for Tian Xiuxiu, she was scolded by Changshou for being lazy and overslept on the first day, and again for being too late for food on the second day. She finally escaped from Changshou. This girl didn't have to worry about her life. Shui Sanmei thought about exchanging her for marriage. , give Chang Xi a daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, Liu Fan couldn't help but tremble. What happened to these two disgusting people today was all because they had evil intentions and failed to educate their children well, and ended up in the situation they were in today.

Liu Fan was secretly alarmed and decided to have a good talk with his mother-in-law after returning home, and to keep his family's son away from his grandmother's family in the future.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law are not alive, and the brother-in-law and the others have no affection for their mother-in-law. They can make troubles as much as they like, but they will not get involved.

Liu Fan thanked Liu Yu and promised to strictly discipline Goudan in the future.

Liu Yu felt relieved and couldn't write two characters "Liu" in one stroke. Everyone would be happy if Goudan was taught a lesson, but he didn't want to have a rogue nephew in the future.

"The eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law discussed giving Goudan a good name. This name sounds naughty at first sight."

"Yes, brother, listen to how nice my Luya and Qi brothers' names are. They are quiet and well-behaved." Liu Yan began to show off the names of his daughter's brothers.

Liu Fan didn't want to raise his son in the way of a domestic cat, he was a boy! It is better to be passionate and responsible.

It was already late, and what needed to be said had been said. The two agreed on a time to enter the mountain tomorrow, and Liu Maoye took his three brothers and left.

Before leaving, Nian asked Liu Yu to pack a bowl of chestnuts for each family.

"It's not a good thing. Your grandpa went to the mountain to pick it up. Take it back and feed it to the children!"

"Grandma, you can't say that. We will be selling this in a few days. This chestnut is powdery and glutinous. It is the best thing." Liu Fan held a bowl of steaming chestnuts that he had just taken out of the pot. He said these words seriously.

Nian was so amused by her eldest grandson that she lightly punched Liu Fan and said, "Go! Come back quickly!"

After everyone left, Liu Yu added a few more straws to the warm water in the pot to make it hotter.

One basin was brought to the old lady's room for the two elders to wash their faces and soak their hands and feet.

One basin was carried into the longevity room, leaving the two of them to wash their faces and feet.

Take out all the chestnuts in the pot to control the water, take them to the main room and cover them with a bamboo cover.

The kitchen door was locked, and Liu Yu sent a gong bucket to the second elder's room. When the gong bucket was brought to the Changsheng House, he locked the main room door. If nothing happened, the door would not be opened again until tomorrow morning.

After finally packing up, Liu Yu walked into the cubicle with two dry handkerchiefs.

The Liu family's wooden basins are limited, and this is how farmers live. They use one basin to wash their hands, face, feet, and laundry. The Liu Yu family is quite particular, and the basin for washing vegetables is used separately.

In Nian's words, using the footbath to wash vegetables and noodles is a disservice to oneself, and doing the same to guests who leave food behind is even more detrimental to one's good fortune.

Liu Yu wrung out a handkerchief, handed it to Changsheng, and squatted down to wash her hands and face.

They both washed their heads and faces, and Liu Yu put Changsheng's foot from the kang into the basin.

The water in the basin is still a little hot, but it is very comfortable to soak your feet.

"You, you can go clubbing together too." Changsheng stuttered a little. Seeing Liu Yu looking over in surprise, he hurriedly explained: "It won't be easy to soak in when the water gets cold."

A smile appeared in Liu Yu's eyes, and she couldn't help but chuckle when she saw one of Changsheng's white and tender feet curling up her toes nervously in the water.

"Next time, my second sister-in-law has made your clothes. Let's try to see if they fit first." Liu Yu wiped Changsheng's water-dropped feet with a dry cloth, got up and went to her room to put on the clothes. Bring me a new coarse cotton robe.

Seeing that Liu Yu was about to change his clothes immediately, Changsheng stepped aside and said, "Try again later. You wash your feet first. The water should be cold."

"Okay, it's up to you." Liu Yu put the clothes on the quilt covered by Changsheng and began to take off his shoes and roll up his trouser legs.

"Hmm!" Liu Yu hummed comfortably as the slightly scalding hot water wrapped around her ankles.

The tips of Chang Sheng's ears were red, and he moved his eyes away uncomfortably, turning over the cotton robe on the quilt absently.
