Son

After the Lantern Festival, the weather warmed up.

The winter snow gradually melted, and spring returned to the land. After a few days of leisure, I saw the villagers carrying hoes to the fields one after another, and Shen Xu's good days came to an end.

"get up!"

In the cabin, there was a roar early in the morning.

Lin Qing stood aggressively beside the bed holding a spatula, with the attitude of a dominatrix.

Shen Xu shrank back under the blanket, frowned and said, "Sleep for a while..."

Linqing took a deep breath, stepped forward and lifted the quilt, "How long are you going to sleep!"

The sudden cold air made Shen Xu shiver, shrank into a ball and said, "Why are you so cruel?"

"A handsome six-foot man, he knows how to do nothing all day long. Look at the people in the nearby village, who is as lazy as you, and why don't you get up and work quickly!"

Shen Xu looked at him aggrievedly, and felt that Lin Qing's appearance was more terrifying than the old nanny in Shen's residence. Looking at such a delicate person, how could he train him so harshly? .

Slowly getting up, the spring was chilly, the wind blew in from the wide open door, Shen Xu couldn't help shivering, and muttered: "It's human nature to be sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, sleepy in summer, why are you so unreasonable."

I have never seen how diligent you are in winter!

Lin Qing said: "I asked Aunt Wang for some rapeseed, and after breakfast, I will hoe the ground and sow seeds together."

Shen Xu's face suddenly became bitter, and he didn't want to get up even more.

Dressing, washing up, and having breakfast, Shen Xu almost slowed down her pace to the slowest step, and she was willing to swallow a mouthful of porridge until it lost its taste, hoping that Linqing would forget what she just said.

Shen Xu's thoughts were clear to Lin Qing, after finishing his porridge, Lin Qing said coldly: "Since I can't eat any more, I put down the bowl and went to hoe the ground."

Shen Xu was devastated, so he had to quickly finish his porridge, and resigned himself to going to work in the backyard with Lin Qing.

The permafrost has just thawed, the spring rain has not yet fallen, and the land will not melt. Shen Xu went down with a hoe and only knocked a shallow crack, but his hands were numb from the shock.

"Huh." Shen Xu blew his hands, and said to Lin Qing: "Look, you can't hoe at all, why don't you do it in a few days."

Lin Qing gave him a white look, which meant don't even think about it.

"You're not doing it right," Lin Qing said, "I've asked Aunt Wang for advice, so watch me do it first."

After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath, held the hoe tightly, and shoveled down with all his strength.

Shen Xu opened his eyes wide and saw that the hoe was sunk in the soil, not as deep as his own.

Linqing: "..."

Shen Xu: "..."

Shen Xu said, "Look, don't you—"

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, we're going to sprinkle all the vegetables today!" Lin Qing yelled angrily.

Shen Xu looked at him speechlessly, "Okay."

The two of them tried their best to hoe the ground, but they couldn't do anything and had no strength, so they could only dig a shallow hole.They haven't been able to hoe the eleventh, and both of them are so tired that they are holding on to the hoe and panting.

"According to this progress, we can't finish hoeing until next year." Shen Xu said out of breath.

Linqing was also very distressed, obviously Aunt Wang had taught her how to do it well when she went into battle?

"Then what do you think we should do?" Lin Qing said, "If you don't grow some vegetables, do you live by buying vegetables every day?"

Shen Xu looked at the huge hoe, his heart moved, he ran into the kitchen to look around, and finally saw something, he ran to the backyard with his arms in his arms, knelt down and lifted it up to dig it.

The handle was short and it was easy to use force, digging a piece of frozen soil at once, Shen Xu shook the small shovel in his hand triumphantly, and said, "It's much better this way."

Lin Qing's face was black as charcoal, he took a deep breath, and roared, "That's a cooking spatula!"

He was really going to be pissed off, thinking that this idiot could come up with a good solution, but he ran to the kitchen to get a spatula to dig the ground, which also told him how to cook in the future.

Shen Xu trembled when he yelled at her, and said embarrassingly, "I also look like a hoe..."

Linqing was angry, "I still don't want to put it back!"

Shen Xu went away aggrieved, and said after returning, "What should I do?"

Lin Qing was angry, so he came up with an idea, and said: "I'll go to the town to buy two flower hoes, you can return these hoes to Aunt Wang first."

Shen Xu was so happy that she stopped working, she quickly agreed, and then, dragging a hoe in one hand, happily went to Aunt Wang's house.

Lin Qing looked at his back and sighed, when will this young master's character change.

When Shen Xu returned the hoe, he saw a man standing in front of the gate of his courtyard, as if he was waiting for the master to answer the door.The man was wearing a green shirt, with a circle of rabbit down around his neck, his brows were bright, and he was handsome and unrestrained, far from ordinary villagers.

Shen Xu coughed lightly, stepped forward and said, "What is this young master doing?"

Hearing the sound, the man turned around, smiled slightly, and said respectfully, "But Mr. Shen?"

"It's Shen Xu, who is your son?"

The man nodded slightly, "I heard that there is a new family in Lushan Village, so I'm here to visit." The man slightly cupped his hands and said, "I'm Liu Yulang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Shen Xu felt that Liu Yulang seemed to have heard of the word Liu Yulang somewhere, thought for a while, and said in surprise: "Liu Yulang, one of the three talents in Suzhou?"

Liu Yulang smiled embarrassingly, "It's really not talented. I heard that the newcomer's surname is Shen, and after reading the lantern inscription written by Young Master Shen to the villagers, I wondered if it might be a real person. When I saw him today, it turned out to be Brother Shen. "

Shen Xu rubbed his nose, "Brother Liu is making fun of the drastic changes at home. Let's talk inside."

The two had no relationship before, but they both came from a wealthy family and knew a little bit of writing. One was in Yangzhou and the other was well-known in Suzhou. There is a great sense of sympathy.

They entered the house one after the other, Lin Qing was not there, and Shen Xu couldn't boil water, so he searched for an iron pot for a long time to no avail, and looked at Liu Yulang in embarrassment.Liu Yulang is not a person who sticks to etiquette, he waved his hands and said: "You are welcome, brother Shen, please sit down."

Shen Xu then sat down, curiously said: "From Brother Liu's tone, it seems that he lives nearby."

Liu Yulang knew what he wanted to ask, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, like Brother Shen, I have also gone to rely on and farm in this rural area for a living."

Shen Xu was shocked, "Could it be that something happened to Brother Liu's family as well."

"That's not true," Liu Yulang smiled bitterly, and said calmly, "However, my father refused to allow my wife to come in, so I had no choice but to bring my wife to settle in Lushan Village."

I have heard that Liu Yulang is romantic and affectionate, but I did not expect that this person has such an infatuated side. Shen Xu said with emotion: "Brother Liu is really affectionate, and he does not hesitate to give up fame and fortune for the sake of a beautiful woman. Shen admires it. May I ask which woman made Brother Liu like this?" fall in love?"

"The clumsy Jingqin is late."

"Oh, I don't know which lady it is?"

Liu Yulang smiled modestly, "He's the number one young lady in Goulan Yard."

Shen Xu: "..."

Liu Yulang: "Hehe."

Shen Xu's hair was full of black lines, where did this sense of pride that she married a man and was a top card come from?

"Brother Liu is really, really heroic..." Shen Xu bit the bullet and praised.

Liu Yulang looked calm, and said: "I heard from the villagers that Mr. Shen's wife is cute and smart. I wonder if I can meet her?"

Shen Xu said awkwardly: "Well, we are not..."

Liu Yulang: "?"

Shen Xu: "..."

He didn't know where to start to explain. Everyone in the village had misunderstood it, including Liu Yulang, so he simply said, "He went shopping in the town, and he's not here now."

"It's a pity," Liu Yulang said regretfully, "To tell you the truth, when I heard that Brother Shen also brought his pet over, I couldn't sit still and wanted to come over and discuss with Brother Shen."

"Discuss what?"

Liu Yulang sighed and said: "Chuo Jing is cold-natured, he doesn't say a word on weekdays, and he rarely shows a smiling face. I really don't know what he is thinking in his heart, and I am worried that he is used to extravagant life, so he suddenly came with me to this poor country." Live the day, do you secretly regret it in your heart. There are no relatives or friends in this village, and no one who prefers Longyang like you and me. I really don’t know who to consult. No, I heard that Brother Shen is here, so I came to the door specially Learn a lesson or two."

Shen Xu: "..."

Dare to ask him to learn from him.

Shen Xu wants to cry but has no tears, not to mention that he is not good at Nanfeng, he can't handle Linqing by himself, so what advice is there for him?

"Brother Liu is flattering you," Shen Xu said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I'm also very worried about this one in my family?"

"Oh? What do you say?"

Shen Xu's bitterness finally found someone to confide in, "Oh, it's really weird, he is obviously a 16-year-old boy, he is more verbose than a nanny when he trains people, he needs to get up in the morning when the cock crows, and he is still hungry. He reprimanded me for being too lazy to do things, and would fight me desperately at every turn, get angry without warning, silently and silently ignore others, I really couldn’t figure out what offended him, apologizing was useless, really distressed. "

Liu Yulang seemed to be looking for a bosom friend, held Shen Xu's hand and said excitedly: "It's exactly right! The same is true for Clumsy Jing, moody, cloudy and sunny, so elusive."

The two hated seeing each other more and more, and the chatterbox could not be closed once it opened. They each complained about the evil deeds of their family members.

"Tell me, aren't they all as shy as women?" Liu Yulang said.

Shen Xu blushed slightly, "Big, probably."

Liu Yulang leaned closer and said, "Brother Shen, when you were cloudy and rainy, was your wife ever enthusiastic?"

Shen Xu: "..."

Liu Yulang said to himself: "Zhuo Jing is too cold-tempered, he doesn't even react at all on the bed, I'm so coaxed that my tongue is dry, he still looks so calm, it's really frustrating."

Shen Xu said awkwardly, "Ha ha."

I thought, Brother Liu, you are too unrestrained, although we have been wandering for a long time, but at least we should not talk about inner affairs as soon as we meet!

Liu Yulang smiled: "It seems that Brother Shen doesn't have much worries about this matter."

Shen Xu thought, there must be no worries.

Smiling politely, Shen Xu brought his words back to his righteous indignation towards the family member.

When Linqing came back from the town, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard Shen Xu talking eloquently: "I was hoeing the ground this morning. I think that hoe is too heavy. I kindly exchanged it for a smaller one. He doesn't appreciate it." , and yelled until I lost all face, tell me, isn’t this called being fierce and savage?”

Another person said: "It's really fierce."

Linqing was furious, rushed in and said, "Why are you arranging people out of thin air?"

The two people inside were startled, and Shen Xu even fell from the chair to the ground, staring at him in a daze, "Why are you back?"

Seeing Liu Yulang at the other end, he sighed in his heart, this one from the Shen family was probably more difficult to deal with than his own, just a single sentence scared Brother Shen to the ground.

Busy to help, said with a smile: "Brother Shen, get up first."

Only then did Lin Qing notice the outsider, and his face blushed a little, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Shen Xu patted his clothes, pretending to be calm, and said, "Brother Liu, this is Linqing, Linqing, this is Young Master Liu, Liu Yulang."

Lin Qing, who had heard the name Liu Caizi before, widened his eyes at this moment, never expecting that he would lose his composure in front of this celebrity, blushing with embarrassment, and muttering: "Hello, Young Master Liu."

Liu Yulang has always been free and unrestrained, he cupped his hands and said, "Madam Shen is polite."

As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Qing, but even Shen Xu blushed, the two looked at each other, and then turned away at the same time, each with their own thoughts, it was really embarrassing.
