"This year I plan to plant more peanuts, so let's buy some more land." During the meal, Liu Yaoqing said, "Peanuts need to be fertile. We have prepared as many peanuts as we can, and we can keep them for ourselves, and then we can feed them to the livestock. .”

Every household in the village grows peanuts every year, but they sell almost all of them except for the three or five catties they keep for themselves.

Liu Quanjin said: "Feeding livestock wastes food."

"Yeah, Brother Qing, why do you think that?" Li Shi also felt a little distressed.She knew that Liu Yaoqing had no shortage of money, but she couldn't waste food either.

"Mother, I have a lot in mind, and I'm sure I won't lose money." Liu Yaoqing smiled, and continued, "Then I will buy land with Brother Zhezi, and we will start work in a few days and plant the peanuts."

The weather is still cold now, so when you plant peanuts, you have to cover the ground with a layer of hay, and you have to watch it back and forth until the peanuts emerge before uncovering them. If the weather suddenly turns cold, you have to continue to cover them.

This thing is valuable, but it is also delicate, so it needs to be taken care of carefully, otherwise if the peanut seedlings are bad, it will be more troublesome to replace them.

But now Liu Yaoqing is not short of money, so he bought all the high-quality fields that he fancy on the same day. After the land deed is completed in the afternoon, he will let Handa and the others go to work in the fields. They will take care of three meals a day and get wages. How tired.

The men in the village saw it, and they also came to help in the field when they were free to take care of wild raspberries.

There were too many people helping, Liu Yaoqing saw that there was no way out, so he asked Mrs. Li to cook more at noon. He went to the field every day, and when he saw a man helping in the village, he gave a wooden sign, and went back to Mrs. Li at noon, and took the wooden sign. Come out, match the gap with another numbered wooden sign, and you will receive two thick steamed buns and a bowl of stew, at least one-third of which is meat, which smells delicious and tastes even better.

Because of this delicious food, many men in the village went to help in the field for a while, and they did not eat the steamed buns and vegetables by themselves, but took them home with the whole family.

Although Liu Yaoqing didn't pay wages, but these two palm-sized steamed buns and a bowl of vegetables are better than wages.

This day Liu Yaoqing was still warming up in the house, and was preparing to go out when the sun was hotter, when Brother Xing hurried over.

"Brother Qing, someone came to look for me at the pancake workshop and said that my aunt and uncle had also gone to work in the field. He saw it and came to tell me." After panting, Brother Xing asked anxiously, "Brother Qing, what do you mean by that?"

"What's the point?" Liu Yaoqing said, "Brother Xing, go back to the pancake workshop, I'll go and have a look."

Brother Zhezi took Liu Yaoqing's jacket and trousers, squatted in front of the stove, roasted one side evenly with the fire, and then came back with the warm jacket, stretched his hands, and asked Liu Yaoqing to put it on.

She said several times that brother Zhezi should not take care of her like this, as if she was a fragile baby, but brother Zhezi refused to listen, so Liu Yaoqing could only let him go.However, wearing the warm jacket on his body felt so warm that he was about to sweat.

"Take the wooden sign and go to the field." Just as Liu Yaoqing was about to reach out, Brother Zhezi had already picked up the wooden sign.

The two went down the mountain together to the field.

Planting peanuts requires a lot of steps, but there are also many people working. At this time, less than half of the work has been done. There are many people talking and laughing in the field, and the atmosphere is very good.

"Hey, what should I do when the work is finished?" The person who spoke was a man from the village, who was just about the age of marriage, but he didn't want what the matchmaker said. Come to work, take the steamed buns and vegetables and send them to my brother's house. My brother is also a caring person. He keeps a steamed bun and half a bowl of vegetables for himself, and asks the man to take the rest home.

"What? Are you afraid that you don't have good things from Brother Qing, are you embarrassed to go to see my brother, or are you afraid that my brother will not see you if he sees you and doesn't take things?"

"That's not what I meant." The man was a little anxious.

The rest burst out laughing.

Liu Yaoqing walked over with a smile and asked, "What? Is this a couple?"

"That's not it." Seeing Liu Yaoqing coming, these people continued to work, but their mouths were not idle, "Brother Qing, you don't know, that kid took the good things he got from you and went to show his courtesy. My brother's heart is moved."

"Good thing, good thing." Liu Yaoqing laughed, didn't continue, turned and left.

Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan work in a relatively remote place, they are not familiar with the villagers, and they can't work together, and their identities are quite special, even the most hospitable people in the village dare not get involved.

When Liu Yaoqing passed by, Zhang Dashan was digging the ditch, and Liu Jinmei was holding peanuts to lay seeds, all of them bent over and arched their backs, like cooked shrimp.

"Why do you work here?" Liu Yaoqing asked.

Brother Zhezi was standing next to him with a wooden sign, and the men who were working there just now gave it to him, but he didn't step forward to give it to Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan at this time.

Glancing at the wooden sign in brother Zhezi's hand, Liu Jinmei looked a little sad, and said, "I'm just here to help, there are too many fields, too much work..."

"Come to help, why don't you tell me, you two are different from the people in the village, go to the mountain with me." After Liu Yaoqing finished speaking, she turned around and left, without looking at the reactions of Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan.

As long as his words are there, it is impossible for Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan to continue working, and the villagers will no longer allow them.

Those two people looked at each other, their expressions were a little apprehensive, after all they knew that Liu Yaoqing's words had to be counted, so they had to put down the work at hand and follow up the mountain.

Back in the house, Liu Yaoqing put the unused wooden cards in the cabinet, turned to Brother Zhezi and said, "Brother Zhezi, you stay here with my aunt and uncle, I'll go find my mother to pick up some food."

"Sure, let's go, Brother Qing." Brother Zhezi nodded.

The kang was burning hot, and the room was not cold.

Liu Jinmei had never seen such a spacious kang, with fine straw mats on top, a row of cabinets on the top of the kang, it was still two-story, and the top of the kang was bedding, which seemed to be of good material, and there were about four or five beds. so many.

Brother Zhezi opened a cabinet, took out peanuts and put them on the table, asked Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan to eat, and poured hot water for them.

Even the best upper house that old man Liu lives in is definitely not as good as Liu Yaoqing's house at this time.The kang is wide and big, and there are so many good beddings, and the snacks on the table are even seen by Liu Jinmei only in rich families, but she has never eaten them.

She wanted to speak, but saw Brother Zhezi's face was serious, so Liu Jinmei could only swallow the words in her stomach.

Liu Yaoqing asked Mrs. Li to arrange three dishes, and took a basket of big and sturdy steamed buns with thick noodles, and brought them by herself, without letting Mrs. Li show up.She still had to stare at the big kitchen on the mountain. After a while, the people in the village would take the food with a wooden sign and help share the food.

"Ask my mother to prepare three dishes and steamed buns alone, so let's make do with it." Liu Yaoqing said with a smile, "My father is at the shed, so busy that he can't get away, he has to eat lunch at the shed. My mother wants to divide the dishes later, and she doesn't have time."

"Brother Zhezi, sit down and eat together." Liu Yaoqing turned to greet Brother Zhezi again.

The four of them sat down around the small table. Although there were only three dishes, the plates were big and pointed, and the steamed buns were also big and hot, so they would definitely be full.

After receiving the steamed bun from Liu Yaoqing, Liu Jinmei opened her mouth, wanting to speak.

"I know you guys have something to say, but let's eat first." Liu Yaoqing took a bite of the steamed bun and said with a smile, "Let's talk after dinner, okay?"

Brother Zhezi looked up at Liu Jinmei, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

It looked quiet, but just now with the two of them in the room, for some reason, people felt that Zhezi was more difficult to deal with than Liu Yaoqing.

There is meat on the plate, Liu Yaoqing doesn't like meat, she likes to chew some green vegetables that take up the taste of meat, stewed potatoes can eat a few pieces of meat, but there are very few.Brother Zhezi put a few pieces of lean meat on Liu Yaoqing's side, and also put a lot of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that were far away, so that Liu Yaoqing could eat it more easily.

"I don't like to eat this kind of meat." Liu Yaoqing pouted, brother Zhezi did this every time, wishing that he could become a pig and eat a pot of rice.

"Just a little bit, it will be gone after eating." Brother Zhezi said gently, with a smile on his face.

"It's agreed, you can't pinch me anymore." Liu Yaoqing said hastily.

Brother Zhezi nodded, "Okay."

Only then did Liu Yaoqing rest assured that if he didn't finish these dishes, brother Zhezi would definitely be unhappy, worried that he wouldn't have enough to eat, worried that he wouldn't have the energy, worried that he would get sick, he knew to worry about others every day, and never worried about himself.

After eating, Brother Zhezi cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, poured another bowl of boiling water for Liu Yaoqing, wiped the table clean, put peanuts and fruits on it, and two green cucumbers for Liu Yaoqing to eat.

There are a lot of strawberries in the greenhouse every day, but Liu Yaoqing doesn't want to eat them at all now, and doesn't even want to see them, so Brother Zhezi didn't bring them into the house anymore.

"Tell me why you came to work in the field." Liu Yaoqing asked.

"Look at how many fields you have..." Liu Jinmei continued to say, but Zhang Dashan pushed her and didn't let her continue.

Liu Yaoqing smiled, and said affirmatively: "Did uncle or uncle tell you that every day when you come to work in my field, you can eat delicious food, big steamed buns can fill you up, and there is a lot of meat in the dishes. It is much better than eating with grandpa, yes No?"

Liu Jinmei had some embarrassment and surprise on her face, if Liu Yaoqing saw it, she knew what she said was right.

"Uncle said that, why didn't he come to work himself, and asked you to come? You really came." Liu Yaoqing sneered, and seeing Liu Jinmei still puzzled, she continued, "Can't you see it? Uncle, this is playing tricks on you. I have all the things on the mountain, as well as the fields, and everyone knows who to work for. You are considered to be my relatives, so I can’t ask you to work. For food, those who don’t know about it think that I deliberately tortured you, but if they know it, they think I’m being taken advantage of.”

"Okay, don't say anything, you go back."

After waving his hand, Liu Yaoqing didn't intend to listen to Liu Jinmei's continuation, it was enough to treat them to a meal.Relatives or something, it has to be relatives who have a serious relationship.
