"Go to sleep. I'm going to the county town tomorrow. You and Brother Geng can help water the fields and plant vegetables. Remember to stop your sister-in-law from going to Tangjiaji to help pick peaches.

Don't say anything, I won't agree to you going to the county town." Shen Changsui pays more attention to practical things.

There is no need to force space or anything like that, even his real car wouldn't be easy to use.

Leaving aside the fuel cost, he knew very well that given the road conditions here, a 28-inch bicycle would be faster and last longer than a car.

Of course, he was even more unwilling to be bound to do any tasks for no reason, unless it was for learning.

Time travel itself is the biggest golden finger.

"I want to ask what's the problem with that family?" Shen Xiaoye asked alertly.

"Ahem," Shen Changsui coughed lightly and turned sideways, "That family wants to marry their daughter to me."

"I'd be happy to have another aunt to love me." When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's okay to get engaged two years earlier, as long as my uncle is interested.

After all, it is normal to get married at the age of 16 here. If you are still unmarried after the age of 20, sorry, you have to pay.

Shen Changsui turned around and glared at him, "The oldest unmarried daughter in his family is half a year younger than you."

"Oh oh oh, uncle, go and have some rest." Shen Xiaoye didn't dare to provoke the embarrassed and angry elder again.

Shen Changsui snorted coldly and left without noticing his niece lying on the kang and laughing.

The next day, he quietly got up before Yinzheng and pressed down Shen Cungeng who was sitting up, "Come back and take a shower if it's too hot in the morning, don't go into the river again."

"Fourth uncle, I'm a good swimmer." Shen Cungeng felt that washing in the river was the most enjoyable.

Shen Changsui stared at him sternly and said, "How can a person who is good at swimming drown?"

"Okay, I won't go." Shen Cungeng put himself down and felt that his fourth uncle, with whom he grew up, had changed a lot in the past two years. Although he was only one year older than him, sometimes he seemed more majestic than his father when he had a gloomy face.

He turned sideways and said, "No, Fourth Uncle, you went into the city again today."

“Well, I’m sending the newly written Sutra to Mr. Pan. If I need to revise it, I’ll be back very late today.

I'll leave the house to you and Xiaoye." Shen Changsui really packed up the article and took it with him.

Shen Cungeng jumped off the bed and looked at the manuscript in his hand, and said, "Why did Fourth Uncle lie? This passage was revised by you after Mr. Pan's comments before the provincial examination.

And you haven’t written anything new lately.”

"I use it for comparison." Shen Changsui was careless and quickly opened the drawer, revealing an old manuscript.

Facing his nephew's expression of wondering how you could justify yourself, he laughed and said, "I have other things to tell you."

"But Xiaoye knows and wants to go with you. I heard her opening the door." Geng Ge'er was jealous.

Shen Changsui said she would not go, but after washing up, Xiaoye stood at the door with a backpack on her back and said, "I just remembered that I forgot to deliver the pickled fish to Fuxiang Food Court yesterday."

"The jar of pickled fish is very heavy. I'll help you." Shen Cungeng volunteered. He wanted to see what his fourth uncle was doing.

Shen Xiaoye: "I'm very strong."

"Bibi." Shen Cungeng was not convinced. He had always given in to her during their previous sparring sessions.

"Sure." Shen Xiaoye is confident of winning.

Shen Changsui watched the two of them raise their fists to block, then he raised the torch, shook his head, opened the door and strode away.

The two kids were dumbfounded. Huang came over from the kitchen with some hot buns and said, "Geng'er, take them to your fourth uncle. Xiaoye, unload the things."

"But..." Shen Xiaoye just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Huang, "Your fourth uncle doesn't want you to go with him, so be obedient and go back to your room to sleep for a while."

Shen Xiaoye's plan failed. She watched her cousin chase out the door and said, "I can't sleep. I'm going to catch scorpions at the land temple."

How could Huang agree to that? She took off her backpack and pushed her back to the room.

Shen Xiaoye pouted, turned around and ran out the door, almost bumping into her cousin who was returning.

"You still want to chase?"

"I forgot to give something to my fourth uncle."

Shen Xiaoye handed the black cat pendant to her uncle and turned back. She was not going to sleep anymore and rushed to the kitchen with Huang to help.

By the time I had prepared the medicine for grandma and served it to the old lady, it was almost dawn.

When Lin heard that she was going to water the fields, she was reluctant but did not stop her. When she lived in Qiu County, she bought fields on the outskirts of the city, and she would take her children to work there on weekdays, so that they could learn about grains and harvest seasons from the tenant farmers.

Things are not as good as they used to be, and the child has no parents around, so it's okay to be diligent. Fortunately, the land reclaimed last winter was only seven or eight acres, not much. "You have weak shoulders, so when you encounter a place where it's difficult to get water, don't try to carry water. Wait for your uncles to level the land next time."

"I understand, grandma." Shen Xiaoye felt that carrying water across the fields was not as fast as carrying it in her hands.

Huang came in to deliver the meal: "Mom, I'll go with you today and look after her."

"And Geng Ge'er, you can't order him around just because he's a boy.

They suffered a lot in the past two years. They should take more care of themselves and don’t think about saving money on food. It will be too late to make up for it in a few years.” Lin was poor and had a poor health when she was young. Even when she and her husband became wealthy, she could not restore her health. She blamed herself for the fact that her two sons died young.

Huang agreed, "Don't worry, mother. We still have the fish from yesterday. I will make fish balls for them at noon."

Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but wonder, why did her aunt take the initiative not to help with the housework today?

……

After breakfast, until they no longer met their neighbors on the way to the fields, Shen Xiaoye waved her shovel and said with a smile, "Aunt, you are wise. I was ready to persuade you not to go to Tangjiaji, but it turned out that Fourth Uncle was worried for nothing."

"As soon as the housekeeper's wife from Mr. Sun's family told me, I knew what his family meant. It was not appropriate." When they were in Qiu County before, Huang only thought that Sui Ge'er was still a child. But when he was on his way home, he was able to persuade his father-in-law to take over a batch of soaked cloths and resell them. She knew that her brother-in-law would be different in the future.

Especially after he passed the two tests of the county government, this marriage cannot be sloppy. The young lady of the Sun family is too pampered.

Huang nodded at Shen Xiaoye and said, "You don't act like a girl. Accept it."

"Mom, what's inappropriate?" Shen Cungeng was pushing a cart full of wooden barrels and tools, and didn't understand what they were talking about.

Huang shook her head: "Nothing, just focus on pushing your cart."

"You didn't tell me." Shen Cungeng turned to his cousin for help.

Shen Xiaoye smiled and put away the shovel, and said, "I won't tell you." She also turned her head to the other side and didn't look at her cousin.

Then, an unexpected surprise appeared, and she stopped: "Shh! Stop the car."

Huang's mother and son stopped when they heard the sound. They saw her walk lightly towards the ditch at the edge of the field and throw the shovel violently.

Whoosh, bang, a white shadow jumped out and Shen Xiaoye missed.

Just as he was feeling frustrated, Shen Cungeng quickly pulled out the iron fork from the car and rushed into the field like the wind.

Huang was so frightened that she slapped her thigh and shouted, "Come back, be careful not to damage the soybean stalks."

However, she was too late to yell, Shen Xiaoye also caught up with him, "Left front."

Whoosh, the iron fork flew out of Shen Cungeng's hand, stabbed down with a "pop", and fell under the soybean leaves with its tail swaying.

The two jumped over and grabbed the big rabbit from the fork and smiled at each other, "It's so fat, there's meat to eat again."

"This is my great grandfather's land. Give him half of it."

"necessary."

The two of them walked back to the road happily, and saw Huang's dark face, "Mother (Aunt)."

She tried not to speak loudly: "Look back and see how many beans have been broken." Even though it was just dawn, she could see from close that several beans had fallen.
