Chapter 5 Work Together to Busy Spring Plowing

After washing in the evening, when it was time to go to bed, something went wrong. It stands to reason that Zhu’s surname had already been prefixed with Wang, and Wang Mingchuan and Wang were considered a formal couple. It's awkward.

This matter is awkward for anyone.

Mingzhu and Wang Mingchuan had just known each other for the first day, and Wang Mingchuan had never spoken much to the original Mingzhu before, the two of them were completely strangers.In fact, if it's really strangers, it's okay for two men to make do and sleep together. After all, the conditions are limited and there is no choice. But these two people share the same bed in the name of husband and wife, so no matter how you think about it, anyone will be very upset awkward.

"You can sleep in my room, I will live in my parents' house."

Mingzhu was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing what Wang Mingchuan said, she didn't hold back anymore. His parents must have been cold in the house for a long time. The truth of the quilt.

"It doesn't matter, you will get used to it in the future, let me share the same room with you, it doesn't sound good to let people know that sleeping in separate rooms on the first day."

After Mingzhu opened his mouth, Wang Mingchuan couldn't hold on any longer, so he coaxed the younger ones to sleep and the two entered the house.They are both men and they won't grumble like ordinary girls, it's just that they share two quilts, one for each and the other for each other.Mingzhu originally thought that she would not be able to sleep well tonight, but she never expected that due to the many changes that happened during the day, she was already extremely tired, and she fell into a deep sleep not long after she closed her eyes.

After the lights were turned off, there was still some light coming in from the window. Wang Mingchuan looked at the mosquito net above his head for a while under the moonlight, and he heard the soft breathing from the other side of the bed in his ears. After his parents left, he never had a good sleep. Even so, he closed his eyes unknowingly.

A night without dreams.

The Sanwan paddy field in Xiawan is a standard moon field, with three pieces connected from top to bottom, and a complete Sifang field at the bottom. I heard from Wang Mingchuan that this huge Sifang field used to belong to their family. I had to change the money just because I was preparing for the funeral of my parents.It's a pity for Mingzhu to look at it. Such a large field can not only grow rice but also raise fish fry. The fish produced can be sent to the market to sell in many ways. A small stewed fish soup can also make up for the body.

Not wanting to bring up the sadness of the Wang family brothers again, Mingzhu rubbed her face to put away her regretful expression, then gave Wang Dahe and the others two bamboo strips.

"You guys just play on the ridge of the field. Don't go too far. If you want to catch fish and floats, you don't need to make too much. It's enough for ducks to eat. Dahe, look at your younger brothers and sisters."

The children in the farmhouse are always the older ones leading the younger ones. It’s not good if the pearl is too tight, because the water in the field is not deep when it catches up with the rice planting, and even if the children play on the ridge of the field, even if they fall, they will only stain the clothes. It's just that there is no danger in the end, it's better to let them play and learn how to transplant rice seedlings while watching.

"The well-bred seedlings are all here. You and I will plant them one by one. There are some clam shells and stones in the field, so you should be more careful."

Ming Chuan looked at Mingzhu's white and tender calves exposed after taking off her shoes and socks, and then took a look at those feet that didn't look like peasants' feet, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"The skin on the soles of my feet is thick, just put your heart away."

After speaking, he pulled out a handful of the densely planted seedlings in his hands, and planted them in two or three clusters. In the field, the two of them each occupied a row. After a few strokes, the seedlings will not fall, but the speed of hand-growing is slow. In order to catch up, the two of them didn't take much rest. They gritted their teeth and kept inserting for a whole morning. In this gap, a few small ones I have already scooped up two pockets full of fish floats, enough for ducks to eat several meals.Seeing that it was about time, Mingzhu washed the mud on her feet and legs with the water in the field, she didn't even wear shoes and socks, and led Wang Dahe and the others to go back. It's time to go back and have a good meal.

"Mingchuan, let's go, go back and get some food."

Seeing that Wang Mingchuan didn't follow, Mingzhu couldn't help urging, but she didn't expect that the child not only didn't go back, but went directly to the next bay.

"You guys go back first, I'll intervene some more while you're cooking."

Mingzhu glanced at Wang Mingchuan's stiff waist, and the latter turned sideways guiltily.

"It's not in a hurry. I don't know how to light a fire. You can go back and cook with me."

Speaking of which, Mingzhu directly stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Mingchuan over. After a busy morning, he, who had changed to an adult core, couldn't hold it anymore, let alone a real kid like Wang Mingchuan. It's a good thing, but such overloaded labor is thankless.

"Xiao Tan, brother is tired, can you take him to rest?"

The little girl nodded, and the shofar braids on her head that Pearl had just combed for her this morning followed suit bit by bit, which was extremely cute.Xiaotan stretched out his short arms and grabbed Wang Mingchuan's trouser legs and pulled them back, while pulling back, he said:

"Brother needs to rest, let's go, go home and rest!"

When it was over, he patted his leg in a very mature way and added,

"If you don't listen to brother Mingzhu, you will be spanked."

One sentence made the older ones laugh, but if you just look closely, you can still tell a little difference - the two biggest faces have a bit of embarrassing pink.

Since Mrs. Zhao had a fight with Xue Da yesterday, she felt more and more upset, and when she went out, she met people who were talking about his unkind behavior in Mingzhu. That's why she didn't go to the gate of Wang's house until this time. It's a nonsense thing.Mrs. Zhao has been used to it since she was a child, but the village chief couldn't do anything with him, but he was able to invite Mrs. Zhao's own father, Zhao Jia. Since that day when Mrs. Zhao brought Mrs. Zhao back, the bamboo strips have been smacked. His wife persuaded him to come down until he was bleeding all over his body. After all, he was released to Master Xue after all.

Let's say that the eldest son Xue Mingyu married a daughter-in-law earlier and gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son Xue Mingyu was sent to Li Xiucai's home in Xiajia Village to learn how to read since he was eight years old. He was sent to the city to learn from a teacher at the age of 12, and now he is [-] years old and is preparing for this year's autumn. If he wins, Xue Mingyu will be the fifth Juren master from the village, and the oldest in history. young.

With such a vigorous son, Xue Da has a hard back wherever he goes, and even has extremely high demands on his daughter's husband's family. In his opinion, his son is going to be a juror, and he may pay him back in the future. Can the champion be named on the gold list, and the sister of the champion can marry well?That Xue Jiaojiao is also rare and outstanding, her appearance and figure are among the best in these ten miles and eight villages, but Xue Da's vision is so high that she must marry an official master, but if she is really a nobleman, she would not look down on such a peasant family, so it is left Dragging to the right actually makes you grow older. Now that Xue Jiaojiao is over seventeen years old and can be regarded as a big girl, she still has no marriage. Take the Pearl instead.

Seeing his daughter's age rising day by day, Xue Da was also worried, but he was not willing to marry so casually, but when he was scratching his head, it was Mrs. Zhao who reminded him.

"Hmph, everyone scolded me for being a broken mouth, but if I really stopped talking, wouldn't your pig brain not be able to come up with a good idea?"

Mrs. Zhao just had a fight with Mrs. Xue yesterday, and her temper has not subsided yet. Mrs. Xue didn't like to listen to the one who was talking with a gun and a stick, but when he was about to turn around and ignore her, he was attracted by Mrs. Zhao's words Living.

"You just stare at those unreliable people in the city, why don't you think about Mingyu's husband's house?"

"Why didn't I think about it, but Mr. Wang's family only has one son and they got married early in the morning, so where is Jiaojiao's seat?"

"Confused bastard, don't pay attention, I heard that this family has retired not long ago."

Xue Da was overjoyed when he heard it, but it was wrong to think about it, so he asked:

"Is this news reliable? If there is such a good opportunity, can Ming Yu come back and say it?"

"What's the matter with Qiu Wei? Mingyu hasn't been home for half a month. Do you think he will go home to find you for this special purpose?"

Xue Da thinks about it, and he also makes the same reasoning, and now he doesn't care about the seedlings, and he is busy driving the ox cart to go to the city to find his son without mentioning it.

Not to mention that Xue Da was busy with Xue Jiaojiao's marriage, but on the Wang family's side, Wang Mingchuan and Mingzhu took Wang Dahe and others to the field to plant rice seedlings as usual after dinner, and the younger ones were naturally behaved. Mo was playing on the ridge of the field, digging mud to catch bugs, or fighting with children from other families. I saw that the whole afternoon passed, and the work on the rice field was always finished before the season, but Wang Mingchuan still Some people worry about whether the harvest of the Sanwan paddy field is enough to eat.

"On the back slope, you can use a piece of soil to plant sweet potatoes, and then add some to it for cooking."

Xu Shi saw Mingchuan's worry and Mingzhu comforted her. The two of them were a little uncomfortable together at first, but after a day's work, they let go a lot. The two of them gathered together to talk more. How to make a living, life is difficult, but those charming thoughts are not often reproduced.

"There will always be a way. If I have a little more money, I still want to bring two piglets back to raise them. There will inevitably be times when no one is in the house. If you see a bitch giving birth, remember to hold a small one." return."

"Just take your time."

The two of them walked back with a little boy, Xian Lajiachang, the mud on his legs was blown dry by the wind, and some clods fell off while walking, exposing the wet mud still sticking to his legs. Like walking barefoot on the field ridge, the evening breeze is cool, and when returning home after a tiring day, the wind blows and the dew is accompanied by the family, which is a rare warmth and joy.

Xue Jiaojiao embroidered by the window, lost a favorite handkerchief yesterday, even if she searched the whole house, she couldn't find it, so she had to re-embroider.Her mother left early, and Mrs. Zhao is a husband and wife who can't understand these things, so the girl has to embroider all her underwear by herself, so not to mention her embroidery is very good.

"Jiaojiao."

Xue Da's voice sounded from outside, Xue Jiaojiao frowned, although Xue Da was her own father, Xue Jiaojiao has been treating Xue Da disliked all these years because of the incident that happened between Xue Datong and the Zhao family during the death of her biological mother Xi, if Xue Da hadn't been holding on to her marriage and not letting go, she would have left this miserable home early and never looked at Xue Datong and Zhao Shi.

"Come in."

Xue Da pushed the door open and walked in, looking at his daughter's good looks with a rare bitter face.

"Who are you going to show your appearance like this, and you're having trouble with that Zhao?"

Xue Jiaojiao had a disgusted expression on her face, Zhao's temperament was full of hope that life would be easier, she would inevitably try to curry favor patiently, but she couldn't put on a good face to the temperless Xue Da, no matter what, when outsiders were around Fortunately, Xue Jiaojiao won't be in trouble with Xue Da because of her good reputation, but once no one else is present, the father and daughter are no different from enemies. To be precise, Xue Jiaojiao unilaterally regards Xue Da as enemies.

"Jiaojiao, I asked you about my relatives. He is the son of your elder brother, Mr. Wang's family. He comes from a good background and is at the right age. What do you think?"

Xue Jiaojiao originally had a disgusted face when she heard this, but she restrained herself a lot. She knew about Xue Mingyu's apprenticeship. The two brothers and sisters had a good relationship since they were young, so she was very clear about the affairs of Master Wang's family. Naturally, the young master raised by the family is not bad, Xue Jiao blushed as she thought of something, it was rare that she didn't turn a cold face to her father when she was alone.

Xue Jiaojiao, who was happy with herself, ignored one point. With such a good relationship, why did Xue Da come in with a bitter face at the beginning? Xue Jiaojiao didn't notice Xue Da but didn't mention it. Turned around and closed the door and went out.
