Bianshanhan [farming]

Hongzhou is mountainous and has less land, so the price is more expensive than Bingzhou. The average family only has a few acres of land, and each piece of rice field is not large, which is completely different from the border towns that look hundreds of acres at a glance.

Jiang Ziji led a group of younger brothers and sisters to walk in the field, caught a bagful of grasshoppers, and said he wanted to take them back and fry them for Li Qingwen.

Although it's true that this thing is high-quality protein, but thinking about the source, it's really hard to say anything. Li Qingwen talked to him for a long time before he gave up the idea.

The caravan from the capital finally arrived in Hongzhou. According to the previous agreement, several carts of things were brought to Jiang's house, mostly cloth and silk, as well as various dried goods and dried sturgeon fish that Jiang Cong brought back from the border town.

These people, except Jiang Liping, are all here, so instead of Li Qingwen's family giving them away, Zhang Yuhai and the others each got their own share.

Li Qingwen opened the box, and it was filled with golden yellow meat floss, which was distributed to the children of the Jiang family.

Because of the large number of people, the Jiang family's house was built very quickly, and it was God's favor. There were not a few rains in March and April, so that the work of the big guys was not delayed.

He really wanted to help with something, but he refused to let him do anything, so he could only hang out with a group of children every day, sometimes he coaxed the children, and sometimes the children coaxed him.

Even the house and the courtyard wall were raised together, all kinds of mud and soil inside and outside were cleaned up, and then the ground was paved with blue bricks.

Because it still needs to be dried, it is impossible to live in it for a short time, but now the Jiang family is completely different from when Li Qingwen first came here. I have to say that the brick and tile house looks and lives in it is indeed very clean and tidy.

After the Jiang family took on a new look, Gao Yubao and Zhang Yuhai's wedding day was approaching. Liang took two wives to buy new clothes for Jiang Cong and Li Qingwen. Jiang Cong, who was rarely free, took this opportunity to go up the mountain with Li Qingwen.

At this time, some days had passed since artificial pollination, and Li Qingwen happened to want to see if it was successful. He went under the orange tree and wanted to check whether the ovary was enlarged under the dried flowers on the marked branches.

I could bear the cold in the border town, but I couldn't stand the sun here. Li Qingwen was flushed from the sun, and his face seemed to be cracked. Sand hurts.

When buying this thing, Jiang Cong went by himself, because this thing is only used by women, and it is usually found in rouge and gouache shops. Jiang Cong bought the most expensive one. It is a small box, so I was afraid it would not be enough, so I took more. several boxes.

It is rare for a man to buy this thing in person, but the shopkeeper praised it, saying that Jiang Cong's wife is lucky to find such a caring one like him.

Jiang Cong didn't refute a word, just smiled politely, and told Li Qingwen exactly what he said when he went back.

Li Qingwen asked him which shop it was, and went shopping by himself to buy something for his "lady", after all he thought he was caring.

Wash the face, apply the ointment, it is refreshing and cool, and the sunburned area seems to be soothed. This thing is indeed expensive.

Unable to wear a cool undershirt like others, Li Qingwen had to be wrapped tightly when going out, with a big and wide straw hat on his head.

The orange tree was tall or low, and Li Qingwen couldn't see the steps on it clearly, so he asked Jiang Cong to have a look.

According to Jiang Cong's eyesight, this was nothing serious at all, but instead of doing so, he stood behind him and held Li Qingwen up to let him see for himself.

As a 20-year-old adult, being treated like a child, Li Qingwen's self-esteem was subtly hurt, and he struggled to get down.

Struggling, struggling, the mouths kissed together.

It was Li Qingwen who moved his mouth first, because he felt that Jiang Cong, with a layer of sweat oozing from his forehead, glistened in the sun and looked better, so he couldn't hold back, and then moved his mouth together.

As soon as the kiss arrived, he noticed that Jiang Cong's body froze for a moment. Li Qingwen thought he had made a surprise attack, but when he was hugged around the waist, he heard his brother say, "Father!"

Li Qingwen turned his head sharply and saw Jiang Jiahe standing not far away, his head stiffened into a log with a "buzz".

"Jiang Cong, what are you doing?!" Jiang Jiahe shouted with a livid face.

"It's okay, this will happen sooner or later." Jiang Cong stroked Li Qingwen's back, comforted him, and raised his head at the same time, "Father, I will beat and punish this matter at will, let's talk about it when we go home."

Obviously, Li Qingwen couldn't feel at ease in the current situation. He regretted that he was too reckless, and he should be more careful outside. This is not a border town, and if people come and go, it would be a disaster if they are discovered.

Jiang Jiahe couldn't believe his eyes, he knew that these two people were close, but, but no matter what, he couldn't, he couldn't...

Seeing that the two of them were still hugging each other, the Jiang family stepped forward kindly, slapped Jiang Cong on the face, his eyes were burning, "You bastard, are you worthy of the Li family?!"

Jiang Jiahe was in a hurry, and now he used [-]% of his strength. Jiang Cong also knew that he would have to suffer this blow no matter what, so he didn't hide.

Unexpectedly, the matter between the two of them would be discovered so suddenly. Li Qingwen subconsciously stood in front of Jiang Cong, but was pulled over by Jiang Jiahe, "Zai'er, don't be afraid, even if uncle beats him to death, you can't even kill him." Let you suffer this bullying again!"

Because of being too angry, Jiang Jiahe's voice trembled a little, his eyes were red, and he stared at his son fiercely.

Seeing Jiang Jiahe raised his hand again, Li Qingwen immediately hugged his arm, "Uncle, Uncle, hit me if you want to hit me, my brother is right..."

Now that he had been discovered, Li Qingwen didn't care about anything else, and tightly grasped Jiang Jiahe's two arms, "I seduced my brother, it has nothing to do with him, hit me if you want to hit me!"

Jiang Jiahe shook his head, with a distressed expression on his face, "Zaier, you are still young, this matter has nothing to do with you, it was all caused by Jiang Cong, I am sorry for your parents..."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Jiang Cong raised his head and said, "Father, Zier and I like each other, and I will go to Li's house to admit my mistake in the future. Don't get angry, be careful if you can't take it."

"Jiang Cong, Jiang Cong, it turns out that you have always said that you don't want to get married, that is, that is..." Jiang Jiahe gasped, "Are you afraid that I will be angry if you do such a thing?!"

Li Qingwen's other hand quickly gave him a pat on the back. Jiang Cong bent down to pick up the straw hat and put it on Li Qingwen. The Jiang family wanted to knock the hat away, but seeing Li Qingwen's tanned face, he could only bite The back molars held back.

At this time, someone came up the mountain and greeted them from a distance.

Although shocked, Jiang Jiahe didn't want to spread his family's ugliness outside, so he pulled Li Qingwen away, and Jiang Cong followed, neither getting closer nor far behind.

Li Qingwen looked back anxiously, and said, "Uncle, you don't have to bear it, just beat me up to calm down..."

Jiang Jiahe took a breath, and tried to slow down his tone, "Zai'er, it's not your fault, it's all Jiang Cong's fault. You are still a child, so you don't know how many things happened..."

After all, he didn't say anything too harsh, Jiang Jiahe was also in a mess.

Li Qingwen, who was already 20 years old, didn't know why the Jiang family uncle only blamed his own son, and kept peeking at Jiang Jiahe's face frequently.

When they reached the corner, Jiang Jiahe remembered that there were more people in the family, so he stopped again.

Jiang Cong also arrived on his hind legs. Looking at his father's face, he knew he could speak at this time, and said, "Dad, didn't you say that you would send me to the Li family to be your son? Why are you going back on your word now?"

Li Qingwen turned around nervously and gave Jiang Cong a wink, telling him to speak softly at this time.

"That's what I said, but I didn't let you lie to my son!" Jiang Jiahe said, "I don't care what you do, Zi'er is now famous, and he will be an official in the future, you, you... ...You touch your conscience and say, how can you be worthy of the people of the Li family?"

"I didn't even want to get married at first!" Li Qingwen said hastily, "Besides, without my brother, I would have died twice, and I wouldn't be alive now."

When Li Qingwen said this, Jiang Jiahe fell silent, and Jiang Cong said to Li Qingwen, "Don't talk nonsense."

Holding Jiang Jiahe's arm tightly, Li Qingwen said: "Uncle Jiang, don't be angry with my brother. Although we are both men, we like each other and are not tolerated by the world, but we have not done anything bad. , this life is no different from other people... Although we have no children, our two families do not lack people to carry on the family..."

At this time, Li Qingwen was extremely grateful to his sister-in-law for having a baby. Although none of his brothers got married, a child was born in the family within a year or two, and there was constant excitement.

Looking at Li Qingwen, Jiang Jiahe sighed, and said the same thing, "I really don't have the face to see your parents in the future."

Li Qingwen whispered: "Maybe my parents know that I'm with Jiang Cong, and it's too late to be happy. My brother is so kind."

Jiang Jiahe couldn't get angry with Li Qingwen, he just glared at Jiang Cong.

The stalemate lasted until noon, when Qi Min came over and told them to go back to eat. Seeing that Jiang Jiahe's face was not good, and seeing Jiang Cong being beaten, he didn't know what happened, so he joked: "Uncle, try not to slap your face. Cong still has to go to a wedding banquet, and others may hear something messed up after seeing it."

A group of people returned home, because their father and son didn't look right. During the meal, the children of Jiang's family didn't dare to make a fuss.

After the meal, Jiang Cong wanted to send Li Qingwen away, but the Jiang family stopped drinking, "Where are you taking the son?"

"He will only feel uncomfortable if he stays here." Jiang Cong said, "If Dad wants to ask anything, I won't hide it."

"Brother, I'd better stay." Li Qingwen grabbed Jiang Cong's hand, saying that it would be better to deal with this matter together.

Seeing their intimate actions, Jiang's family's face darkened even more, but they didn't do anything, and only asked Qi Min to send Li Qingwen to Ma's house first.

Li Qingwen didn't want to leave, Jiang Cong stretched out his hand to straighten his hat, "Go to sleep first, I'll pick you up later."

Qi Min and Hu Lichuan dragged him away.

After leaving, Hu Lichuan inquired curiously, but Li Qingwen was absent-minded and didn't listen, but Qi Min told him to shut up and stop asking.

Li Qingwen arrived at Ma's house in a daze, lying on the bed and tossing and turning. If he could fall asleep at this time, he would really be haunted.

Because of Jiang Cong's entrustment, Qi Min didn't leave and rested next door.

Li Qingwen thought, just wait a day or two before returning to Jiang's house, even if he smashed his head, he would ask Jiang's family and Wang to forgive him.

In the end, before he could go, Jiang Cong came to find him first. Li Qingwen was slightly relieved when he saw that there were no scars on his face.

"Brother, I shouldn't be outside..."

Before he finished speaking, his cheek was pinched, and he was pinched again and again, as if he was feeling the touch. Then Jiang Cong leaned over and crushed his soft lips heavily.

Because of the tragic experience during the day, Li Qingwen was already a little nervous about this matter, and unconsciously wanted to hide, but his face was still in his hands, and he couldn't escape, so he was kissed hard.

Jiang Cong didn't stop until his face turned red, and said with a slight smile, "If you had kissed a little longer then, brother would not be wronged."

Li Qingwen hurriedly asked, "Is Uncle Jiang still angry?"

"Still angry, I probably don't want to see me again." Jiang Cong said as he took off his clothes, Li Qingwen quickly stopped him: "It's still daytime..."

Jiang Cong stopped, stared at him, raised his eyebrows, and smiled in his dark eyes, "But I can't wait until night."

Li Qingwen looked at Jiang Cong in shock. He still had that mood after this happened.

Everything he thought in his heart was written on his face, Jiang Cong couldn't hold back his smile, "I think it's better to take the medicine earlier to get better sooner."

Li Qingwen was taken aback for a moment, and soon saw that Jiang Cong's back was covered with red scars, and many places were red, swollen and broken.

This time Jiang Jiahe did not slap his face, but it was impossible for him to be calm when his son did such a thing.

Li Qingwen pouted his lips and was angry, but the movement of applying the medicine on his hands was very gentle, and he secretly made up his mind that he had to disclose the news to his family earlier, so as not to be caught suddenly like this time, and caught off guard.

"Does it hurt?" Li Qingwen asked while wiping.

"If Zi'er can kiss my brother, it won't hurt at all." Jiang Cong said.

Although he knew it was an excuse, Li Qingwen hummed lightly, found an unbroken spot on his shoulder, and kissed it.

Jiang Cong's reaction to the feather-like kiss was quite strong. He stretched his body and pulled the wound, and blood beads ooze from several places.

Li Qingwen patted himself on the mouth, causing trouble again.

Jiang Cong pulled his hand over, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Why hit someone casually?"

Because of the hot weather, the wound couldn't be covered. After applying the medicine, Jiang Cong left his upper body naked. Li Qingwen asked, "Do you want me to plead guilty to Uncle Jiang?"

"What's wrong with Zi'er?" Jiang Cong asked lazily, "Let's hear it."

Li Qingwen lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "You won't be able to marry a wife, and you won't be able to have children."

"I'm not going to get married. I've made it clear to my family a long time ago." Jiang Cong said, "When you come back this time, did you hear someone say they want to see a girl for me?"

Jiang Cong said this before, but he didn't mention the reason, and this time, no one mentioned Jiang Cong's marriage. Li Qingwen asked, "Why?"

"My eyes are different from other people's." Jiang Cong said: "My ancestors also had this kind of eyesight. They usually go blind in their prime of life. Only the family members know about this..."

Li Qingwen raised his head suddenly, and lost his voice, "L-blindness?!"

"It was cured when I was in the Chatu tribe, so don't worry." Jiang Cong squeezed his earlobe, and said: "I stayed blindfolded for a while, even if I really went blind one day, I can take care of it." Take care of yourself and Zaier, of course, there will still be some inconvenience, will Zaier despise brother?"

"Of course, of course not!" Li Qingwen kept blinking. He knew about this, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Jiang Cong knew it all along, but he didn't tell himself.

"Now, is it really better now?" Li Qingwen stared at Jiang Cong's beautiful eyes, trying to see what had changed.

"Okay." Jiang Cong said: "When Zi'er returns to the border town, we can go to the witch doctor together, and you can ask him if you are worried."

Jiang Cong really wanted to go to the Chatu tribe, but it was not for his own eyes, but because he was worried about Li Qingwen's body and wanted him to show the witch doctor again.

Jiang Cong would appear in the next generation of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family and himself knew that this was the reason Jiang Cong didn't want to get married. Thinking of the pain of his son's blindness, this situation would happen again in the future, so he agreed.

But the Jiang family only agreed that Jiang Cong should not get married or have children, but he didn't nod to make him like men, let alone spoil Li Qingwen, so Jiang Cong still suffered a severe beating.
