Reborn Brother Farming Story

"Can you play Cuju?" The little man stood in the open space in the center of the village holding a Cuju.

A group of young brothers, young men, and a few brave young ladies also gathered around and said: "We don't know how to do it, just teach us."

"Hey, that's true." The little man nodded with a smile, "My father learned this on the island, you have to listen carefully, there are many rules..."

While explaining, the little man played tricks on Cuju.He learned it from his father at home, and practiced secretly for more than ten days before he came out to play with the children in the village, just to show his ability.

Soon the children in the village began to play, and they dispersed and went home when they were about to eat, and they made an appointment to play again next time.

"Let's hold a Cuju competition in Linhai later." Liu Yaoqing said with a smile, "I guess many people know about it now."

There is nothing special about this thing, but in the past, only idlers from big families would play it, and ordinary farmers just want to eat and wear warm clothes, how can they have time to play this?

At that time, Liu Yaoqing thought that even if the people on the island had a four-day rest every month, they could not leave the island, they could only go to the seaside, the mountains and other places, and there were only a few places to go back and forth. Not to mention that they are still working on the island, they have been seen in many places.

Then Liu Yaoqing came up with Cuju, and found someone to make a lot of them and sent them to the island, so that she could practice in her free time, and during the four days of rest every month, she could even make appointments for competitions.

In the beginning, Liu Yaoqing had someone prepare for the lottery, but when the men on the island became addicted to the game, they all won the lottery themselves.Maybe the prize of a small-scale competition is one fish, or a box of potato chips, and the larger-scale competition may be ten fish, and the food accumulated by each person is gathered together, etc.

With the competition, there will be a comparison, so that the men will not feel bored, and this matter has continued.

One year expired, except for the men who were going to stay in Linhai to continue working, many people chose to go home, and they did not forget Cuju, some told their children, and some simply started playing in the village.

Liu Yaoqing wrote to Liang Songzi.

Now scholars are talking about Xiandao, even tea houses and restaurants are talking about Xiandao.

Those who have been there always talk about what Xiandao is like, what the hot springs are like, what they have done, what they are thinking, anyway, they must let people know.

Those who have never been there are scratching their heads and scratching their heads, and finally got the paintings, so they must be appreciated.

"Hey." Liang Songzi sighed, but his eyes were very bright. He called his classmate and mentioned something.

The next day, poems and articles came out, but they were not talking about Xiandao, but ordinary farmers.

Both the men and the children in the village play cuju, and some even play tricks.

After the field work is done, when you have a full meal and rest, you always have to move around. Anyway, you are not tired at all. The children gather together to play with stones and sticks. It is not as lively as playing Cuju.

However, what these scholars saw was not the excitement, but why did they play Cuju?

Facing the loess and back to the sky every day, I plan to eat in the soil, and I still can’t fill my stomach like this, and I don’t have any money at hand. Would you want to play Cuju?Of course not, and even for a few days during the Chinese New Year, they will not have fun.

I can't even fill my stomach, why play?

So why are so many people playing Cuju now?Of course it is because they have enough food, warm clothes and money!

The reason why the common people eat well, dress warmly and have money may have something to do with Liu Yaoqing most directly, but the most fundamental reason lies in the court of Daqin, the emperor.

This is a silent flattery that rides the wind and moistens things.

Even those scholars with upright tempers have to admit at this time that the people who wrote these articles and poems really have unique insights, and they really see the people with their eyes!

Of course, they soon followed suit, and those who were about to take part in the imperial examination, regardless of whether they were children, scholars, or candidates, all followed suit with all their might.

This year is called the year of abundant poetry by later generations, from which many talents emerged, and it also let later generations know what the people were like at that time, which has very far-reaching significance.

"Brother Qing, we may have to go back in a few days. Brother Wolf came to see me last night." Brother Zhezi pinched the melon seeds, put the kernels inside on a plate, and saved it for Liu Yaoqing to eat, "Brother Yu's business .”

"I just said that there must be news in the second half of the year." Liu Yaoqing immediately knew that there must be something about Brother Yu, and they all had to go back.

All the newly recruited people from the Linhai side have gone to the island, and Brother Hui is still in charge, so nothing will happen.Some of the people who came back from the island were unwilling to go home, and those who were going to continue working, Liu Yaoqing did not arrange all of them to be in Linhai. At this time, there was also a shortage of people in Dan County, and some people would go there.

At that time, Dan County Manager will have to come and pick the ones to take away.

There are regulations for these, Liu Yaoqing doesn't need to worry too much.

In this way, it is still arranged for a whole day, and the next day they will get in the carriage and leave.

There were several layers of fur in the carriage, Liu Yaoqing wore several layers himself, Brother Zhe Zi also brought a charcoal basin, but even this was not as warm as burning a kang in the house.

Leaning on Brother Zhezi, Liu Yaoqing said: "When we go back this time, we have to ask the mountain to prepare for the Chinese New Year."

"There are stewards to help." Brother Zhezi said.

"There is also the account book." Liu Yaoqing added after finishing speaking, "but brother Zhezi will help me."

"Yes." Brother Zhezi smiled and nodded.

The road didn't stop for a while, the other carriage also had a lot of fur, and Brother Yu was also dressed thickly. When he got to the mountain, Brother Lang was still a little nervous.

Liu Yaoqing and Brother Yu came back together, there is nothing suspicious about it.

Entering the courtyard, there is a cold wind blowing outside, thick grass curtains are hung on the door of the house, and the door is inside, which is very tight, and no wind can blow in.

Push the door open and go in, and you can feel the heat blowing in your face instantly, warm.Liu Yaoqing hurriedly took off her jacket, took a bench and sat down.

There were several children on the kang, three from Liu Yaoqing's family, and brother Ning, and brother Xuan's family also sat in the corner and watched the brothers play seriously, without blinking their eyes.

"I have to talk about the business first." Liu Yaoqing put on the jacket again, said hello to the children, and came out of the house.

Mrs. Li was in the next room, and it was very warm here, but there were teacups, teapots, etc. on the kang and tables, and the fur blankets were very formal.

This is Li's special room, which is used to deal with things on the mountain, meet some people and so on.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Liu Yaoqing said: "Brother Yu is pregnant, tell my father to go to the mountain to pick up bitter peach pits. And ask my second aunt to prepare, we can help if we can."

Brother Yu and Mrs. Chen followed up the mountain, thinking that Liu Quanyun was dead. Over the years, Mr. Yu helped him a lot, and Mrs. Shen also helped Mrs. Li a lot on the mountain. Now she is a serious daughter-in-law in charge. Just treat them like family.

"Sure, I'm going to talk to your father right now." Li Shi said, "All the things are ready to be sent to your second aunt. In the past few days, Brother Yu and Brother Lang will eat with your second aunt."

"I know." Liu Yaoqing nodded.

Having said this, Liu Yaoqing went back to the next room.

He watched the excitement on the kang, climbed up and sat against the wall.

"Father, I saved a lot of money this year." Bai Niangxian came over to lean on Liu Yaoqing, and grabbed a milk bean from the table for him.

While eating milk beans, Liu Yaoqing asked: "How much is that?"

"120 and six big money! Brother Yu and Brother Dou are the same as me. But Brother Ning has the most money, and he is even better this year." Bai Niangxian admired, "We will do the same next year!"

"En, the goal is good." Liu Yaoqing patted Bai Niangxian, and didn't ask him what to do with the big money, or try to get it by himself.

Some elders may want to control their children, or to show how close they are to their children, they always want all the good things in their children's hands, and then express that they don't want them, and return them, so that their hearts are satisfied.

Liu Yaoqing would not do this, and would not allow other people to treat his child like this, he felt that it would not be good for the child.If the child is willing to get close, he will naturally take the initiative to take out what he thinks is good, instead of being forced.

Having dinner together at night, Liu Quanjin was also there, so Liu Yaoqing didn't say much.

On the contrary, Li Shi said: "A few people need to be recruited on the mountain before and after the Chinese New Year. I bought some more land, and those people may not be able to keep up with their work."

Because the yield of potatoes and corn is high, a little land ration is enough for the family, and the price of food is not high. If you want to make a fortune with food, you may not succeed. Even big landlords are worried. The price of food is too low. Although there is more food in the rent collection every year, the money is not much more.

But now there are all kinds of things in towns and counties, especially the food from Dan County, which adults and children are willing to eat, so there are more places to spend money.

On the other hand, people not only eat for themselves on the mountain, but also pancakes and steamed buns, all of which require a lot of food. It is not good to save the food grown by their own family, so the Li family decided to buy the land in another village.

"Well, let's recruit people from the village over there." Liu Yaoqing said, "We can't just recruit people from our own village."

"I think so too." Shi Li nodded.

Although she doesn't understand those principles, she also knows that the people in her own village can't get all the benefits, so that the people in the surrounding villages will feel unbalanced, and what to do if something happens.

"Brother Yu eats a lot." Liu Yaoqing said, "You can eat."

"It's also the tallest." Li Shi said, "The little man and the little brother will be able to see it clearly in the future."

"That's right." Liu Yaoqing nodded.

Although brother and man are both men, they are different.Basically, you can't see it when you are young, and even the little lady can't see it when the child is very young. When you grow up, the man grows taller, stronger, and stronger, and the elder brother will be more delicate.

Basically, people like the Li family see a lot of people, and they can tell whether it is a brother or a man at a glance. Even a strong man like Lu from Danxian County can tell people that he is a brother at a glance.

At night Liu Yaoqing took Liu Doudou back to the house to sleep.
