Qinghe Pastoral

Xiao Jue and his party were supposed to leave for Huazhou long ago, but Liu Liping's incident happened suddenly, and they had to postpone their return date.After Liu Liping's injury stabilized, they decided to leave as soon as possible.

The night before leaving, Lin Yue prepared a sumptuous banquet to celebrate Liu Liping's recovery and to thank everyone for their friendship.

During the banquet, watching Liu Liping and Lin Quan get along with each other, there was a bit of intimacy.

It turned out that when Liu Liping had an accident, Lin Quan was busy and did his best. Others saw it, and so did Liu Liping.

He is born free, and in the past he only felt that the world was so vast that he was born to have a good time, so he should look around, so that this life would not be in vain.After this incident, it made him rest from such thoughts. His parents were getting old, and this time it was a big blow. Both of them had a lot of vicissitudes.The grace of childbearing can only be repaid by staying with them.

When he first knew Lin Quan's intentions, he was not surprised.Although they are in the same village, Lin Quan is a few years older than him, and the two of them didn't have much intersection in the past.He knew what Lin Quan had done for him, and he was moved in his heart. During the few days of getting along, he also felt that Lin Quan was a responsible person. Gradually, he also had a good impression of Lin Quan in his heart, and the two of them only made up their minds in the past two days. .

Knowing this, everyone at the scene rejoiced one by one, a friend in adversity is a friend, Lin Quan's kindness is rare, and Liu Liping deserves a response.

For Lin Yue and his wife, this was a difficult time. Fortunately, no matter how difficult it was, they could get over it.

Tonight, Liu Tang was in high spirits. He drank a few glasses during the dinner, and the drunkenness gradually showed on his face. His usually serious face looked softer now, and he talked more than usual.Although Yu Ziyi is his junior, but Liu Tang sincerely admires him, thinking of going here and not knowing when we will see each other again, he also feels a little sad about parting.

"Young Master Yu, a farmer in the countryside, there is no way to repay this kindness, so I can only pray for you every day, wishing you peace and success, this cup, I respect you."

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Tang was obviously drunk at this moment, but the friendship between the man and the man was all contained in this glass of wine, and Yu Zi also drank it all in one gulp.

"Uncle Liu, you don't have to be polite. Your luck is yet to come. When Brother Ping gets married, I will definitely bother you again."

Liu Liping was rescued by him with all his efforts, for him there was a certain friendship, and now that the two of them can achieve a good story, it is a blessing in disguise.

Liu Liping didn't hold back at all, he is not suitable for drinking now, so he had to use tea instead of wine, thank you for your kindness, living the rest of his life well is the best gratitude.

The banquet ended in the middle of the night, and Lin Mu's family took advantage of the moonlight to walk home.

Tonight, Lin Sheng drank a lot, and he was already so drunk that he passed out.Ji Ruixiu also drank some, but he was a good drinker, and he was like a normal person.He and Lin Mu supported Lin Sheng on the left and right, and Xu Xiuqin walked behind them. Under the moonlight, the silhouettes of the four of them continued to be elongated. No matter how hard the days are, as long as you grit your teeth, they will pass.

Early the next morning, Lin Mu's family went to Ji's house early, and Xiao Jue and his party were going to leave today, so they had to say goodbye no matter what.

When they arrived, Lin Yue's family was also there. Lin Yue packed up a lot of farm specialties. Although it was not worth a lot, it was a thought. It's a little tight.

"Everyone, we are on our way now, so don't send it off, but there is still time to see you again."

What Xiao Jue said was right, not to mention that he also has a share in the Wonderful Orchard. He also had the idea of ​​transferring some industries to Yong'an Continent when he came here this time, but the two places are far apart, so a long-term plan is still needed.

Yu Zi also said that when Xu Xiuqin gave birth, he would definitely come to drink a glass of full moon wine.

Don't let go, but there will always be a day when we meet again.Because of the long distance, Xiao Jue and the others did not stop any longer, and the groom drove away in a carriage.

The luxurious carriage gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes. When it came, it came quietly, and no one expected that so many things would happen during this period. When it went, it took away too much gratitude and reluctance.

Xiao Jue is good at talking about humor. Lin Mu and him get along very happily these days. They are often together, but suddenly they leave, and they feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.Fortunately, it is the busy farming season, and there is no time to think about it.

It's already the beginning of July. Although the sun is getting hotter and hotter, the fields in Qinghe Village are full of laborers. The golden autumn is definitely a bumper harvest year.

Qinghe Village can plant two waves of rice a year, and the first wave of rice is ripe in July.At this time of year, Qinghe Village is also particularly busy.

It was time to harvest the two acres of rice in Lin Mu's family, and Xu Xiuqin had already begun to show her feelings, and she was seriously sick these days.She is no longer young, this child is not easy to come by, the whole family is careful, not daring to make the slightest mistake, it is absolutely impossible to do farm work again.Fortunately, his family has very little land, and the father and son just had to work hard for a few days.

The land is the lifeblood of farmers, but anyone who has some spare money thinks about how to buy a few acres of good land, and why would he think about selling it to others.Back then, the original owner of the field was also in a hurry to spend money, so Lin Sheng was able to buy these two acres of high-quality paddy fields.

The two acres of land were some distance away from his home. After breakfast, the father and son took the farm tools, set up the ox cart and went to the field.

The villagers are all working along the way, and those who have a lot of fields get up early, and they walk together when they meet on the same road, talking and laughing quickly.

His family's two acres of land happened to be connected. This year, there was enough rain, and the crops grew well. There was hope. No amount of hardship was considered hardship.

There is a clear division of labor between father and son, Lin Sheng is in charge of harvesting, and Lin Mu follows behind and bundles up the bundles and puts them on the ox cart.Lin Sheng is strong and quick at work, and the father and son can harvest the two acres of land in a few days.

Just at this time, an old woman came to them with a child. When the child saw Lin Mu, he ran to him in a hurry and called Brother Mu in a low voice. It was also the day when Xu Xiuqin was injured. The child who is willing to leave.Later, when I heard Lin Yue talk about it, I realized that the child called Liu Tang's house that day. It was a coincidence that Lin Mu's two acres of land was bought with the child's family.

Speaking of this child is also very pitiful.

The boy's father used to be the best hunter in the village, so he lived a good life.The husband and wife conceived the child in the second year of their marriage. At the age of eight months, one day, the man went up the mountain as usual, but it happened to be a rainy day, and he fell down the hillside and was seriously injured.

The injury lasted for half a month. In the face of the injury, the family was stretched, sold the land, and died in the end.The child's mother was in great pain, and her fetal gas moved, and the premature blood collapse followed.The old man and the crying child are left alone.

"Bao'er, run slowly."

The old lady is already in her fifties. She lost her husband in her early years, and her eldest son also left her early. The hardships of life made her look even older.

"Brother Mu, you two came so early, Bao'er likes you."

Probably because she was anxious to keep up with her grandson, the old lady was slightly panting.

"I also like Bao'er, Bao'er is so sensible. Aunt Lin, your rice is growing well this year, and there must be a good harvest."

Lin Mu doesn't have many memories of those days of wandering, maybe his past was also unfortunate, but what he deeply felt was only love, the love from Xu Xiuqin and his wife.Little Treasure is also pitiful, but fortunately, he still has a grandmother who loves him as much as his life, which is a blessing in misfortune.

"That's great, I can have a good year."

Xiaobao's family left two acres of paddy fields at the beginning, and the two grandmothers lived on it.

"Yes, isn't your son-in-law coming this year?"

The old lady also has a daughter who married to a neighboring village, and her life is not rich. Fortunately, the family is simple, and the husband is also a good man, who always comes to help the old lady when the farming season is busy.

"Their family still has work to do, so come when you're done."

The old lady was also happy to mention her daughter and son-in-law. The two houses are next to each other, and they can talk about family affairs while working.

The old lady worked slowly, and her body was not as good as the young man's. She had to rest for a while after a while, and Xiao Bao followed behind, a little person, tying up the cut rice again and again.The children of the poor families headed home early, that's probably the case.

It didn't take long for the sun to get bigger and bigger. Qinghe Village was colder in the morning and evening, and the sun was particularly bright during the day. It was the hottest time of the year, so wearing a straw hat didn't help.

After working for a while, the ox cart was full, so the father and son stopped, and Lin Sheng drove the ox cart to pull the cart back first.Lin Mu went under the tree to enjoy the shade. Lin Mu is a person who sweats easily. Before noon, he felt his whole body was sweating profusely.He drank a few sips of water first, then took off his straw hat, and fanned the wind one after another. He is the most afraid of heat, and he felt better when the coolness hit him.

Compared with Lin Sheng and Lin Mu, Xiaobao and the old lady's progress is much slower, but with the help of their son-in-law, they can definitely be taken away in time.

After a stick of incense, Lin Sheng came back with an ox cart, besides Lin Sheng, there was also Ji Ruixiu.

It's time to weed the mowing slope, but Ji Ruixiu has hired a lot of people, so he doesn't need to do it himself, but he still needs to visit it from time to time.I got up early and went there, and now I'm afraid that father and son will be too busy, so I just see if I can help.

Zhou Dashan went to the county yesterday, and happened to run into a merchant selling melons. This watermelon is a rare commodity in Jing'an County, so he brought a few back.Ji Ruixiu knew that Lin Mu was afraid of the heat, so he asked the cook to cut it into pieces, and it was just right to eat now.

When Ji Ruixiu approached, he saw Lin Mu's face was flushed and his forehead was covered with sweat, so he wiped it gently with his sleeve.Lin Mu grabbed Ji Ruixiu's put down hand and asked him about the situation on the other side of Dibanpo. Ji Ruixiu sat beside him and said everything was fine.The seeds have germinated, that is, all kinds of weeds and vegetables are growing wildly, so pay special attention when weeding.

He also took out the cut watermelon. This watermelon is expensive, and it is rare for the farmer to eat it once.

Lin Mu called Xiaobao and Aunt Lin over to eat together. It was only when he was eating the watermelon that Xiaobao had a bit of a childlike heart.Maybe Xiaobao is too sensible, or maybe he feels somewhat similar to himself, but Lin Mu really loves Xiaobao.

Eating a mouthful of watermelon in this season is not to mention how refreshing it is, and several people get busy again after sharing the food.

Speaking of which, Ji Ruixiu really has never done farm work, but he is strong and strong, harvesting rice is not too difficult, and he will get started in a while.

When the second cart was full, it was time for lunch. Lin Sheng drove the ox cart ahead, and Ji Ruixiu and Lin Mu followed behind while talking.

The villagers passing by also lamented Lin Mu's good fortune. A young master like Ji Ruixiu is still rushing to help with farm work. Isn't it just that he loves him?

When Lin Mu heard it, he felt sweet in his heart, with a happy smile on his face.
