Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

In late January, the weather finally cleared up after raining for half a month, and people in the village became more interested in going to the market.

Li Yunshan came back from the market at noon. As soon as he entered the door, Mao Xiaosui asked, "How is the business?"

"Not good." Li Yunshan put down the basket, and the half-basket of soap nuts he carried on his back looked like it didn't sell many.

"Maybe it's just after the New Year." Mao Xiaosui poured hot water into the basin and told him to wash his hands and eat.

I made chicken noodle soup for lunch, and there were two pieces of chicken for each person.

Li Yunshan gave her the meaty piece in his bowl and ate the bone-filled piece.

Mao Xiaosui ate the meat and said, "It's finally sunny. It's time to go to the fields in two months."

Li Yunshan said "Yeah" and said, "Plant early this year and spread the manure by the end of February."

"Are you going to carry it this year?" she asked, "Isn't it faster to pull it?"

"You can't work too hard." Li Yunshan said, "The load is not heavy, so just run more times."

"Then you will have to work hard this year." Mao Xiaosui said.

"It's not hard." Li Yunshan's hand touched her belly.

Mao Xiaosui also touched it and found that his belly was slightly bulging, but it was not obvious.

After dinner, Li Yunshan went to bed, and Mao Xiaosui planned to finish the last unfinished clothes.

Heizi got up in the middle of his sleep, grunted twice and walked out.

Mao Xiaosui helped it open the door and let it out. He went to the firewood shed to get an armful of firewood and returned to the house. After it came in, he blocked the door again.

As soon as my butt landed on the stool, I heard the courtyard door ring.

She went to open the door. Fourth Master Li Maoxin stood at the door and asked, "Is Yunshan here?"

Mao Xiaosui nodded and said, "Fall asleep."

Li Maoxin walked in anyway, walked straight to the bed and called Li Yunshan up.

Li Yunshan stared at him for a long time before he seemed to come to his senses, sat up and asked, "Is something wrong, Fourth Master?"

Li Maoxin sat on the stool and said, "Let me tell you something."

Li Yunshan put on his shoes and sat over. Just when he was about to ask, "Do you want to drink water?" Li Maoxin said, "Fourth Master wants to borrow some money from you."

Mao Xiaosui almost wanted to roll his eyes. He walked to the bedside with his sewing basket and sat down, listening to their words.

Li Yunshan said, "My family has no money. I borrowed one tael from Master Wu last year and promised to pay it back at the end of the year. I haven't mentioned the money back yet. If something like that happened to his family, it's hard for me to ask for it."

Li Maoxin frowned and said, "You can borrow some money from Fourth Master. Your family is the richest in the village, otherwise Fourth Master will not talk to you."

"It's not that I won't borrow it." Li Yunshan's face turned ugly and he said, "The family really has no money. Last year, we bought cloth, cotton, and pots... I really can't get it out."

"You have a lot of food, right?" Li Maohuaxin lowered his head and said, "You can collect some for Fourth Master."

Li Yunshan said nothing.

Li Maoxin glanced at him again, sighed, and said, "You should just help the fourth master. Something happened to your family before, and the fourth master also helped you..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunshan interrupted him and said with an unhappy look, "Originally, our surname is Li, and you are also my elder, so we should help each other, but the fourth master won't always use this as an excuse, right?" Besides, when I shared the food, I also paid back the favor."

"If it goes according to Fourth Master's wishes, then this incident has nothing to do with me. The reason why Second Grandpa came to me is because we all think that we are all members of the Li family and we should help each other..."

Li Yunshan softened his tone, "It's not that I don't want to borrow, it's that I really don't have the money to borrow."

Li Maoxin was speechless by what he said, got up and left.

Li Yunshan sent him out anyway. Before leaving, Li Maoxin said, "Fourth Master doesn't have any other intentions. What he said is inappropriate, so don't take it to heart."

"I know." Li Yunshan said, "What I just said was harsh, so don't take it to heart, Fourth Master."

Li Maoxin nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go back, I'm leaving."

Li Yunshan watched him go down the slope before turning around. When he returned to the room, Mao Xiaosui had already sat back on the stool.

Li Yunshan said helplessly, "This man..."

"You are quite tough today."

Li Yunshan knew that she was talking about the Fifth Master, so he couldn't quibble. He just said, "It's hard to get the Fifth Master. Now everyone in the village is talking about dividing their families, and his family should be no exception. Although this money is I wanted to marry Li Xing, but Yang Cuihua is dead, and with Su Qiu’s temperament, I’m afraid she will act rogue.”

"Whoever takes it will give it to him. Fifth Master is already so old, so he has the nerve to act so shamelessly..."

Li Yunshan shook his head, "My impression is that Fifth Master's temperament is pretty good."

"I originally planned to wait for them to take a break after the new year, but now I'm talking about separating the family. It's not good to delay this matter any longer."

"Then when are you going to ask for it?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

Li Yunshan stood up and said, "Go now."

Mao Xiaosui didn't stop him. When he was leaving, he reminded him, "You have one tael of silver, so you can't give it to me for free."

Li Yunshan responded and went out.

Mao Xiaosui sewed up the remaining edges, stood up and threw firewood into the stove. The courtyard door was pushed open when she went out. When she went out, she saw Li Yunshan coming in carrying a sack and a small half bag in his hand.

"what does it mean?"

"The fourth master gave it to me." Li Yunshan threw the small half bag in his hand on the ground and said, "Beans are counted as four, and millet is counted as eight."

"New or old?"

"I want the old top, but I don't want it."

"I thought we had to start a quarrel." Mao Xiaosui was also happy.

"No." Li Yunshan said, "After I went down to talk, the Fifth Master said that there was no silver, so he paid the bill with grain according to the method previously agreed. At first, it was said to be nine copper coins, but after I said I wanted silver, it was calculated as eight. .”

"Is eight expensive?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

"Looking at the price of grain, when we sell it to the shop, most of it is seven."

Li Yunshan carried most of the bag of grain to the grain house. Mao Xiaosui went to get a bowl, dug out half a bowl of beans, and took two dried fish.

Mao Xiaosui put the beans on the stove to roast and pointed his chin at the bed, "You try on the clothes."

After hearing this, Li Yunshan went out and blocked the door, then washed the handle.

She makes thin clothes, and you have to take off the cotton shirt underneath when wearing them.

Li Yunshan was laughing from ear to ear even before he put it on.

After I put it on and arranged it carefully, I felt the fabric and said, "It fits well."

Mao Xiaosui nodded. She didn't take the thickness of the cotton shirt into consideration when taking the measurements, and made it a little wider for looseness and comfort.

Li Yunshan himself is not thin, so the fact that he is big does not seem to have much impact.

After wearing it for a while, Li Yunshan took it off, folded it and put it in the cabinet.

Mao Xiaosui gave him some roasted beans and asked, "What's for dinner?"

"casual."

"Then let's eat porridge." She didn't seem to eat good food many times during the Chinese New Year. She still had the meat and bones at home, but she just felt greasy after eating too much meat and wanted to eat something light.

"Sure." Li Yunshan had no objection.
