Farmer's Homecoming

Chapter 37

At the end of June, the rice in the fields gradually became more colorful, the grains began to look fuller, and there was more work in the field, and the village began to be busy again.

I don't know if it's because the Shen family is inexperienced. The land next to it is obviously shorter and smaller than that of the other family next door. Their family originally had less land and more people, but now the harvest is not enough. No, the whole family will be hungry next year.

"Father, this won't work! I heard from people in the village that the land in this field has to be paid [-]% of the rent to the imperial court. Our family only has so little land, and we can't live without paying the rent. What else do we eat?" In July, the fields began to collect things one after another, and naturally it was time to pay the rent to the court.

"Yeah, one autumn rain and one cold, and the weather will start to get cold in a while, so it's time to add more clothes, otherwise how can we stand it?"

While listening to the Shen family talking about the situation at home, Chunsheng carefully observed the expressions of the people around him, but he found that the young master didn't respond at all, but just frowning or meditating along with the family members.Chunsheng wondered, how could the young master become so fast?Now he treats the Shen family as he treats strangers.

"Young Master, please discuss the family matters slowly. The weather is fine today. A Yang and I will go to the mountains together."

There really wasn't much to look for in the mountains in July, but Chunsheng thought it would be better to go to the mountains with A Yang than to face the Shen family. They were people who just talked but didn't do anything, so it wasn't interesting to go with them.

From the very beginning, Chunsheng knew that the harvest in the Shen family's field would not be good, and the crops in the field were not planted and waiting for him to bloom and bear fruit.Fertilizers have to be applied twice a year, and weeds have to be weeded more than once during the period. As long as there are weeds in the field, they have to be pulled out, otherwise the nutrients in the field will be absorbed by the weeds, and the crops will not be good.

Chunsheng found that since A Yang went to take a bath with him that day, and then was scolded by the young master inexplicably for a while, A Yang became weird, especially when he looked at him.

"A Yang, is there something wrong with me? Also, did you want to say something to me that day?" Thinking about what happened that day, Chunsheng remembered that A Yang did have something to say to him that day. Yes, but was interrupted by the young master.

"Chunsheng, young master, please sleep in your room every night." Ayang felt the same as Chunsheng in his heart, he hated everyone in the Shen family, but the difference between Ayang and Chunsheng was that Chunsheng didn't feel bad for Shen Haoyun, but A Yang hated everyone in the Shen family, including Shen Haoyun.

"...Well." Chunsheng replied a little bit without confidence, he just responded lightly, he didn't know why Ayang would ask this question, could it be because Ayang also felt that it was not good?

"A Yang, I have nothing to do with the young master. The young master just doesn't like his little concubine, so he will go to my room. And, and... we just slept and didn't do anything."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Even if it was just an explanation, Chunsheng felt that his face was going to get hot again. He felt that although he was not telling lies, he seemed to have lied to A Yang, because he and the young master were nothing. do it!

"That's good if it's really like this. Chunsheng, you must remember what I said to you today, and never let Shen Haoyun get close to you in the future, don't...don't let him touch you, you know?"

"Okay." A Yang stopped and said this to Chunsheng face to face. Chunsheng's mind was still muddled, so he agreed.He didn't realize until he agreed, what did A Yang just say, why did A Yang say this to himself specially?Also, Ah Yang's expression just now was too serious, as if this was a life-threatening event.

Just like what Chunsheng had thought before, they didn't find anything all the way up, and the fungus had basically disappeared in the past few days, and it was after August that the small fungus grew under the roots of the grass and trees.

"A Yang, I remember some red fruit trees up there, let's go and see if there are any ripe ones." That kind of red fruit is not delicious before it is ripe, it will be very bitter and slightly numbing, but it tastes very good when it is ripe. good.

"Well, let's go."

When he walked up with A Yang, Chunsheng remembered that there seemed to be a few dried up walnut trees here, but it hadn't rained in the past two days, and he didn't know if there were walnut fungus growing on the trunks.

The two of them were lucky. There were many ripe red fruits on the clumps of red fruit vines, things the size of a small fingernail, it was impossible to use them to fill their stomachs, but it was okay to eat them as snacks.

"A Yang, wait for me here. I'll go to the ditch over there and pick some leaves." There are wild taro in the ditch over there. The leaves of wild taro are very big, and only one leaf can make a big one. Ye pocket.

Like the Yedou made of tung catia leaves, you only need a leaf and a branch as long as your little finger.Because the leaves of taro are very large, when wrapping the leaves on both sides together, several branches are needed to fix the position. After finishing, a simple cylindrical leaf pocket is ready.

What Chunsheng likes most is when it’s time to harvest things. For example, when he watched the golden grains slowly being poured into the granary one by one, he was happier than when he was eating white rice. He was still excited when he put it in his mouth or sold it for silver, and it is the same now. When he put red fruit in the leaf pocket he made, he felt happier than eating it in his own mouth.

"Chunsheng, did you pick it back for Shen Haoyun?"

"Yeah, when we went up the mountain before, this was not yet ripe, and the young master had never eaten it. Now it is delicious, and there are so many. I will pick some for the young master."

"Chun... Forget it, let me help you." A Yang hesitated to speak, but Chun Sheng didn't notice, he was so excited now, he could see the red fruit in front of him.

After picking, Chunsheng folded down the extra taro leaves, and then pinned them with a branch. The contents inside were well sealed, and he only needed to put them in the basket.

"Okay, let's go and see if we can find some walnut fungus. It's quite close to here, where I just picked the taro leaves."

"it is good."

When Chunsheng and A Yang passed by, Chunsheng didn't want to go there before they got there, because he felt that he was really unlucky, not only the fungus was picked up by others, but he also met a person who made a black face when he saw him .

"Ah Yang, let's go back." When he first knew that Chunqiang looked down on him, Chunsheng was quite sad, but later he couldn't be sad, and instead figured it out. Those people are not his parents and he can't understand him. It's also normal, besides, as long as you don't care about him, they will feel that it doesn't matter how they look at you.

After Chunsheng's parents went to the town, the family house was vacant. Originally, Chunsheng wondered whether the Shen family would have an idea about the house, but the Shen family never mentioned it, which surprised him.

In fact, Chunsheng's idea was also correct. The Shen family really had this idea, but it was because the issue of who lived in the past was not settled in the end, so they never talked about it in front of Chunsheng.

When Chunsheng and the others went back, Ayang was alright, but Chunsheng looked unhappy. He went up the mountain and came back with only a few red fruits.

"Chunsheng, are you unhappy?"

"Well, the fungus over there should belong to us." If only he had picked the fungus first, and then went to pick the red fruit.

"Don't be upset, isn't he your brother, why don't you talk to him?"

"What brother? My mother gave birth to a son of mine. Is he my cousin, or a cousin a few rooms away? It doesn't matter whether he is my own brother or not!" Chunsheng said it as a matter of course, but in his heart He didn't think so. When he was a child, he really regarded Brother Chunqiang as his own brother!

"Hey, by the way, A Yang, how do you know he belongs to my brother?" Even A Yang from the Shen family wouldn't say a word to them, let alone a villager, so how did A Yang know that Chun Brother Qiang's?

"Well, don't your names look very similar, a prostitute and a prostitute, and they both have the surname Liu."

"Do you still know his name? Did the villagers tell you?" A Yang can still talk to the villagers, which is very good.Chunsheng felt that Ayang's temper was too boring, so this was not acceptable, he had to explain to the villagers a lot.

"Ah Yang, it seems that the Shen family will have to live in the village permanently in the future. You have to get along well with the people in the village. The Shen family doesn't know how to worry about you, you have to worry about yourself. You have reached the age of marriage. It will be good for you to spend more time with the people in the village, and they will introduce you to your marriage in the future."

From Chunsheng's point of view, Ah Yang is good in everything, but... a little poor.However, it doesn’t matter, not everyone in the village dislikes the poor and loves the rich, besides, money can be earned, let A Yang start saving money from now on, and then get on good terms with the villagers, in a few years He can marry a wife.

"Get married?" This is something A Yang never thought about.When he heard Chunsheng say this, he didn't know what else to do except laugh at himself.

"Yes, you are in your 20s. You can't stay married forever. If you don't get married, you will have no children. If you don't have children, there will be no one to take care of you in the future. Your family doesn't treat you well. If you don't get married, what will you do in the future? ?” Chunsheng himself still occasionally thinks about his future children, he wonders whether the children should be as smart as Xia Sheng and study hard, or just like himself, just want to guard their parents and live an ordinary life good.

"Chunsheng, do you really think so?"

"Yes!" "It's fine if you really think so, so you don't have to worry." A Yang always felt that Chunsheng and Shen Haoyun were too close, and he was always worried, but now he felt relieved. It seems that Chunsheng is right Shen Haoyun is really meaningless.
