Farmer's Homecoming

Chapter 30

Just like what Chunsheng was worried about, the Shen family had no intention of leaving the next morning. The old man Shen whom Chunsheng hated was still the same as before, sitting in the main room like an old man, waiting for someone to greet him and bring him a meal.

Chunsheng's house was narrow, last night the Shen family made do in the main room, but this morning everyone looked uncomfortable, looking at Chunsheng as if they were eating people.Seeing Chunsheng enter the room last night, they had objections, but seeing Shen Haoyun also entered, they didn't rush in all at once.

Anyway, Chunsheng and Shen Haoyun are husband and wife in name, and it's justifiable for them to live together, so what's the point of them going in!But not being able to go in doesn't mean that the Shen family has accepted that it's natural for them to live on the ground in the main room. Naturally, their faces are not good this morning.

"Old man, my father and the others are going to pick up Xia Sheng in the town this morning. They are going out soon, let's tidy up and go back." They left after waiting for the Shen family to leave.

"What do you mean? Are you going to drive us away?" The eldest lady looked at Chunsheng's house with a look of disgust, but she had no intention of leaving.

As for the eldest lady and the whole family of the Shen family, Chunsheng just sneered, and then said coldly: "Old man, even I, my father and mother, are not obliged to support me now. This is the Liu family, not the Shen family." Home."

Everyone knew the meaning of Chunsheng's words, but they were even more unwilling to go back to that dilapidated house that didn't even have a place to hide.

"Grandpa, you have also seen the situation in Chunsheng's house. What's more, no matter how many rooms there are, it is not a place for us to stay. There is no reason in this world for a daughter-in-law's family to support her husband's family." Chunsheng's parents were already waiting. After Shen Haoyun finished speaking, he didn't care about his grandfather as the head of the family, he called his parents and prepared to leave.

After all, Mr. Shen has been rich and honored for half his life, and he couldn't do such a shameless thing, so he ordered all Shen's family members to leave together.

Chunsheng was finally relieved when all the Shen family left the Liu family's courtyard. Now that they had left, there was absolutely no possibility of them coming back.Everyone knows the truth about whether to save the emergency or not the poor. He didn't shut the Shen family out from the beginning, he had done his best.

Everyone in the village knew about the prosperity of the Shen family back then, and now that the Shen family has returned to their hometown in desperation, the villagers are naturally paying attention.The Liu family had many relatives in Liujia Village and had a good relationship with the villagers, so Chunsheng didn't worry that his parents would suffer in the village.However, no matter how good a person is, it is impossible to cover everything. There are always a few people in the village who don't like the Liu family.Chunsheng didn't want others to gossip, and he had a reason to mess up his parents, so he could only grit his teeth and take back the unfinished corn and some daily necessities at home for the Shen family.

The foundation of the Shen family's original house was not big, and it would definitely not be enough for the current Shen family to live in if it was built as it was, but now they don't even have a place to hide, and they can't ask so much. What Shen Haoyun means is, hurry up Just set up a few temporary houses to live in.

They don't have the money to buy bricks now, so they can only build a thatched house. Apart from Mr. Shen, the Shen family now has six men who can work. OK.

The whole family stood in front of the dilapidated house, and asked Mr. Shen to divide the work.Today, the men went up the mountain to cut firewood and cut grass, while the women stayed at home to clean up the broken rubble and weeds that fell on the house foundation.

When everyone was dividing the work, Chunsheng naturally regarded himself as the person who was going up the mountain, but when he was about to leave, Shen Haoyun asked him to stay.

"You don't need to go up the mountain, this is what a man should do." In Shen Haoyun's perception, doing things up the mountain is hard work, and cleaning up at home is easier than going up the mountain.

Chunsheng didn't think so, he never regarded himself as Shen Haoyun's wife, so naturally he didn't regard himself as a female family member. When dividing the work, he naturally included himself in the ranks of going up the mountain.

"Young master, you are going up the mountain. Do you know where there is firewood on the mountain that is suitable for building a roof? Do you know what kind of grass is suitable for a roof? Of course I have to follow you. Don't worry here. Don't worry, wait until after noon. Someone will come here, and the villagers who come here know how to teach them how to do things." Usually, there is a lot of excitement in the village, but now that the Shen family has such a big excitement, it's no wonder that the villagers would stay at home.

Ignoring Shen Haoyun's thoughts, Chunsheng directly asked this person to go to the village to borrow things together. If you want to go up the mountain, you can't go up the mountain empty-handed. You have to have all the tools ready.

Although the people in the village liked to watch the excitement, they were not the ones who would cause trouble. Chunsheng took people to borrow tools, and it went smoothly. Soon they had a machete and borrowed two sickles for mowing grass.

Liujia Village is a village surrounded by mountains. There is a large lotus pond several acres in the center of the village. Along the lotus pond is a wide river. People in the village can catch a lot of things in the mountain and river in a year. Life is also rich.

On the surrounding mountains of Liujia Village, most of the villagers are active on the one behind the village, which is close to the village, and it is also convenient for cutting firewood and grass. Unlike the mountains in the west, there are only big trees, and the mountains in the north are only full of mountains. of weeds.

Uncle Shen Haoyun has two sons, one is not yet crowned and the other is almost two years younger than Shen Haoyun, who is also in his twenties this year.Uncle Shen Haoyun, the second child of the Shen family who has lost his head, has only one daughter, and now he is at the age of thirteen to talk about marriage, but now that the Shen family is in trouble, the girl's marriage may not be settled for a while.

The father and son of the Shen family followed Chunsheng and the others up the mountain.Along the way, Chunsheng hadn't paid attention to who was in the Shen family, and now there were only some men, so he realized why there was someone in this group of people whom he had never met before?

This person Chunsheng thought was Shen Haoyun's uncle, who was known to outsiders only after the Shen family's house was ransacked. This person was locked up in a small courtyard like Chunsheng for 20 years.

Previously, Chunsheng had always thought that the old man of the Shen family had only one wife and no concubine, but he didn't expect that the old man had a concubine and was locked up by him!

Chunsheng didn't have the idea of ​​emphasizing the heir than the concubine in the big family. After learning from Shen Haoyun that his uncle had been locked up all the time, he felt that the man was quite pitiful, and also felt that the old man Shen was really not a good person. Fame and face actually locked up his son!

From Chunsheng's point of view, hiding his concubine was for the sake of saving face and making others feel that they were deeply in love with each other, but what Chunsheng didn't expect was that Mr. Shen did it for his reputation, but not for the so-called The reputation of a loving couple.

Feeling pitiful for that man in his heart, Chunsheng helped him consciously or unconsciously, teaching him how to hold the handle of the knife so that his hands would not hurt when chopping wood, and how to avoid scratching his hands when mowing grass.

The members of the Shen family had already done rough work when they were in the prison, but at that time there was a government servant watching by, so they didn't dare to be lazy.Now, the person next to them is Chunsheng, so they naturally do so if they want to be lazy. Seeing Chunsheng's quick movements, they all want to wait for Chunsheng to do it, and they all put on a show. After a long time, there are still no two bundles of grass by their side.

Chunsheng was just doing his own thing. After chopping twenty firewood sticks of the same length and about the thickness of his wrist, he was ready to go home after a few bundles of old grass.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, where are you going?" Seeing that Chunsheng was about to leave, they were anxious!

"Go home, I've done the math. The two rooms in my house need about a hundred bundles of old grass and fifty or sixty long sticks. There are six of us, each with twenty bundles of old grass and ten sticks. My wooden The stick is ready, and I’ll come back later to cut the old grass.” After Chunsheng finished speaking, he ignored what they had to say, and left with his belongings on his back.

Chunsheng left, and the rest of the people were naturally very angry. They never thought that the person who used to be silent and only knew how to swallow his anger became so strong after the Shen family was in trouble. This is bullying them!Why didn't he dare before!

Chunsheng left, and the rest of the people left except for Shen Haoyun and that uncle who never said a word.After returning home, there were people from the village at Shen's house who were helping. The house was roughly cleaned up, but the broken things inside were cleaned up, but the ruins... This house is completely ruined, or it needs to be cleaned up. Just rebuild it.

The harvest in the house is almost the same, so we have to deal with the weeds outside. This place has been deserted for many years, and the weeds are as tall as a few people, but the villagers can help them deal with them after a few more strokes.

When Chunsheng came back, he saw those women who looked at the easy things and shy away from the hard things, so he knew to stand aside and watch. They thought they were still the delicate ladies and wives they used to be? !

Most of the people here were known to Chunsheng, and Chunsheng didn't hesitate at all. After he went up to greet them, he told them that they came back to farm, not to play for a few days.From now on, the family will have to do all the farm work by themselves, so they can't rely on others for everything. They just need to teach Shen's family to do things, and they don't need to do it themselves. After all, these things can't be done for them in the future.

The villagers were enthusiastic and didn't care about helping out, but after thinking about what Chunsheng said, it made sense, so he handed the sickle in his hand to the people standing aside, and taught them to remove the weeds around the house.

Originally, it was good to just watch from the sidelines, but now Chunsheng asked them to do it themselves, and the pampered gang naturally quit.Although the people in the village are simple, they are not fools. Seeing their reluctance, they know what's going on, so they don't teach them at all, and go home directly.

The men of the Shen family came back not long after Chunsheng came home. Those who didn't do much work, after they came back, they all complained, complaining that Chunsheng was selfish and cared for himself, and didn't help. with everyone.

For those rhetoric, Chunsheng simply didn't take care of it. He just told them what work was left today and arranged it quickly.Chunsheng has already made up his mind, he will not avoid the Shen family's work, he will do whatever he has to do, but what he has to do is only his own part, and he will not do more for the rest.

It can be said that the Shen family is short of everything now. Although they brought some corn and pots and pans from the Liu family, they didn't know how to use these things. I don't know how to cook.

"I don't have any firewood, rice, oil and salt. How are we going to make this meal? Father, let's go to the Liu's house to have a makeshift meal first." Naturally, cooking is a woman's job. The eldest lady didn't know what to do, so she could only wink at the elder , When the old man said this, he didn't have any scruples at all, he just said it as a matter of course.

"My father and mother are not at home, and most of the food at home has been brought over for you. Even if you go there, you will have nothing to eat." Chunsheng didn't want to provoke this group of people again, so he took the initiative to say no. their ideas.

Chunsheng just didn't want to cause trouble again, but the Shen family cursed again because of Chunsheng's words!

"Isn't it just to eat your family's broken things? Don't you count the three years you ate and drank in Shen's house? We haven't asked you for it yet!"

"Auntie! You have stayed in Shen's house for the longest time. Do you want me to go to your mother's house to ask for your food and clothing expenses in Shen's house for these years?!" As early as when she decided on her marriage, Shen Haoyun had a question in her heart. The Shen family has grudges, and has grudges against his grandfather and uncle.Now that he has been implicated with nothing and is still unable to become an official, he has been suppressing it in line with his duty as a descendant. Now hearing what his aunt said, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Is Chunsheng enjoying a blessing in Shen's house? Only you know." Not wanting to say anything beyond his control, Shen Haoyun simply pulled Chunsheng away. When the two walked to the ridge not far from the broken house of Shen's house, Just stopped.

"Chunsheng, I know that you did that for our own good, and I understand your intentions. Now the Shen family is not the same as before, and you have to do everything by yourself in the future. I understand the truth that it is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. Thanks."

"..." After Shen Haoyun finished speaking, Chunsheng just stared at him with wide eyes, thinking that the young master said that he understood his own intentions, but he didn't understand what the young master said. Ah, will you give it or not?
