Farmer's Homecoming

Chapter 48

Probably because Mr. Shen also knew that the family must have some income, otherwise this winter would not be able to survive, so in the days to come, not only Chun gave birth to them, but also Mr. Shen's two precious grandsons, the eldest son of the Shen family, followed him up the mountain every day.

At the end of July, the soybeans on the ridges of the fields and the corn in the fields were ripe and ready to be harvested.On the Shen family's land, this year's harvest is not very good, and the people under the family can finish that little thing in a few days. Chunsheng and the others still go up to the mountain every day, chopping firewood for woodcutters, and weeding herbs for weeding.

The Shen family has no firewood to survive the winter at all, and there has been no movement before, so now two people must go to chop firewood every day, otherwise this winter will not be able to survive.

"Haoyun and Chunsheng are elder brothers and sisters-in-law. You should take good care of your younger brother. You two should go and chop firewood." Chunsheng may not agree with the words of the eldest lady, but he will never refute any words of the Shen family, so he waits for Shen Haoyun. answer.

"Since my aunt said so, let's do it this way. However, although chopping firewood is tiring, it's just a little bit of physical strength. The herbs are everywhere, and there is no specific place, and grandpa also said that every day at least Earning ten copper coins is really hard for Haowen and the others.

Chunsheng, the eldest aunt is really polite. She is taking care of us, because she said she is asking us to take care of my brother.Chunsheng, let's go, we went to chop firewood. "

"Okay, let's go." Chunsheng originally thought that chopping firewood was hard work, but after hearing what Shen Haoyun said, he felt that those words were quite reasonable, and suddenly felt that he had gotten something good.

The barren hills in the village are not divided into families, but the villagers also have a tacit understanding. Villagers can't cut firewood near the village, or where there are few trees.I don't know when this habit of the villagers started, but the villagers have always followed it, and after everyone got used to it, they didn't ask the reason.

It's not that Chunsheng hasn't done rough work before. When his father first fell ill, he was always up early and late at night, and he was the only one who grinded all the beans in the house.It is not too difficult for him to go into the mountains to cut firewood.

The rules of the people in the village, at the very beginning, Chunsheng and Shen Haoyun talked about the same, so the two did not stop, and went directly towards the middle of the mountain.

People in the village usually cut firewood in the first month and February. At this time, few people cut firewood in the mountains.The two quickly found a place, a clump of coniferous trees that looked like there were hundreds of them, and only a small part of it needed to be cut down was enough.

"Young master, let's cut down the tree, then cut off the branches on it, tie the branches up, and just look at the trunk as several sections." The branches are light and the trunk is heavy, and the branches can carry several bundles on the back, but the trunk has ten A few sticks are enough.

"Well, I see. I'll cut down the tree, and you can tie up the branches I cut later."

"Okay, you cut it first, I'll cut two bundles of white grass first." The ropes for binding must be tied with ropes rubbed with white grass, and the white grass must be cut first.

When Chunsheng cut the white grass back, Shen Haoyun had already cut down more than a dozen trees. Chunsheng threw the white grass aside and went directly to help.

"Master, there's no need to chop it down now. We'll just pick off all the branches and tie them up. Today's almost done." When all the branches are picked off, it's probably time for lunch. After lunch, I came back to tie up all the rest and carried them back. It would probably be dark soon.

"Chunsheng, didn't you say that you need to use a rope made of white grass to bind the firewood? Go and rub the rope, and I'll get it here."

"Young master, when will you be alone, let's go together."

After cutting down a few bundles of branches, Chunsheng began to twist the rope, and they each tied a few bundles of firewood and went back.

There are firewood stacks on both sides of the front and back of Shen's house. Firewood branches are piled up behind the house, and firewood is stacked on both sides. As long as it is full, it will probably be used for next autumn.It will take about a month to cut so much firewood.

When Chunsheng and the others went back, the two brothers Shen Haowen had already gone back, and they had already picked up their bowls and started eating.

"Haoyun, you guys are back. Hurry up and eat, I'll keep it for you." At first the lady was so enthusiastic, Chunsheng thought they had eaten up their breakfast, so he left some leftover soup for them. It was normal for his nest to have vegetable soup, so he didn't think about it so much and ate directly.

After eating, the eldest lady came to look for them again, and Chunsheng knew that there was something wrong.

"Haoyun, you see, Chunsheng grew up in this village, and he knows much about the affairs of this mountain than Haowen and the others.

Haoyun, you also know that your two younger brothers have never done anything since they were young, and they are not like you who like to dance with swords when they were young. Those two brats only know how to hold books and read, what herbs are there in the mountains? How can I know such things!

Haoyun, look... Otherwise, you and Chunsheng will find medicinal materials and let them chop firewood. "

"Auntie, is this what you mean or what Haowen and the others mean?" Shen Haoyun just said in a normal tone, and it seemed that he couldn't tell whether he was willing or not.

The eldest lady was already a bit regretful, but after hearing what Shen Haoyun said in the morning, he also felt that it made sense!The mountains behind are full of big trees, and the task can be completed with a little effort.But the medicinal materials are not all over the mountain, just waiting for you.Sure enough, today, the two sons ran all over the mountain all morning, but they got nothing, and they were scolded by their grandfather who always loved them.

"That's what I mean, aren't you the elder brother, just take care of the younger brothers."

"Okay, I'll go and talk to grandpa, the family's firewood for a year will depend on Haowen and the others."

Chunsheng felt confused when he heard the words of the eldest lady. There was something wrong with what the eldest lady said. Their young master has been wielding knives and swords since he was a child, so isn't the young master just suitable for chopping firewood?Since I was young, I have been dancing swords and swords in good health, but chopping firewood requires strength!

Also, she said that his son likes to read. People say that people who like to read know everything. Isn’t there a saying that reading a lot of books is like going to many places. His son has read so much Books, you should know everything, this kind of people are the most suitable for picking herbs, because they must know all kinds of herbs, just as good as the doctors in the medicine hall!

"Chunsheng, what are you thinking, let's go."

"Where to go?"

"I've already made a deal with my grandpa. When the two of us come back from earning money, Haowen and the others will cut the firewood the family needs for a year, and the rest will hand over the work in the field to them."

Others felt that this arrangement was profitable, and Shen Haoyun was very satisfied, because ten copper coins a day were only a few silver coins a month.But to do the work at home, they have to get up early and stay late every day, and they can have a good rest every day.

Although he didn't need to make money from the things in the mountains, he still had to look good. Early in the morning, Shen Haoyun dragged Chunsheng up the mountain again.

"Young master, in half a month or so, you can go up the mountain to sell Tongzi. That is very valuable, and it is guaranteed to earn more than ten copper coins a day. But because of the money, there will be more people going up the mountain to look for it. At that time, we will get more money." Just be quicker."

"Okay." The two headed up the mountain all the way, Shen Haoyun wanted to pass the time, Chunsheng knew what to do.

In August, there is nothing in the mountains, and the dew bacteria are the most. This kind of little gentleman does not need any luck, as long as he is diligent.

The grass on the mountain or the roots of the trees are full of this kind of small fungus. It only takes one morning to pick up a small basket.

The two brothers Shen Haowen also went up the mountain to cut firewood for several days. The first day was fine, because Chunsheng and Shen Haoyun had already done it, and they just had to pack it up and carry it home. Started complaining.

Chunsheng heard the complaints of the two brothers. At first he thought they would ask to change with them again, but he didn't know that despite complaining, the two went up the mountain early every day, and they would cut the firewood obediently every day. It's easy to carry it back.

By August, almost all the corn in the field has been taken back home, and the soybeans on the ridges of the fields have all been harvested.

In the past, the soybeans in the village were harvested by Chunsheng's family. They had a tofu workshop, and they needed a lot of soybeans in a year. Except here in the village, they needed to buy them in other places.

This year is the same, after the family's tofu shop reopened, Chunsheng's family also came to collect soybeans, but this year it was not Chunsheng but Yunsheng.After the Liu family moved to the town, Aunt Liu would talk about Chunsheng several times a day. This time Yunsheng was going to the village to collect soybeans. In addition to bringing a lot of things for Chunsheng, she also specially explained that he wanted Chunsheng to go with him. Harvest soybeans.

"Brother Yunsheng."

"Chunsheng, this is what my aunt brought you. There are two autumn clothes and some food. You take this back to the people around you, and then follow me to the village to collect soybeans."

"Okay. Young Master, I'm sorry to trouble you." Chunsheng put things in Shen Haoyun's hands, and followed him directly.Chunsheng was happy because his own tofu shop had really reopened, but he didn't pay attention to Shen Haoyun's expression.

Chunsheng used to deal with the villagers quite often, but after returning with the Shen family, he was estranged from the villagers.As before, when someone brought soybeans to the village chief's house, people came to the door one after another. Chunsheng naturally met a lot of villagers there, but something strange happened to Chunsheng. Why didn't the people in the village miss him? Do you hate him so much?

Mingming Chunsheng's attitude towards him is very bad, but why do the people in the village look so much better than him?

Could it be that Brother Chunqiang is the only one who has opinions about him?
