Bianshanhan [farming]

The two agreed, and Li Maoxian immediately went to get the pen. The ink ingot at home was only as big as two fingers, and it was carefully wrapped in cloth. aside.

Li Maoxian dipped his pen in the ink and practiced on the old paper first. After all, he hadn't written for a long time and his hands were rusty.

All the characters to be written were written on the paper, and then copied one by one onto the wooden block.

It stands to reason that it is best for the young lady who is the protagonist to write with a vermilion pen, but if I don't have one at home, I don't force it.

Li Qinghong and Li Qingfeng were also watching, not daring to speak loudly for fear of disturbing their father.

After writing, let the ink dry first, and then place them in the chess box one by one. Only a dozen words are written, but when you look inside the chess box, it is instantly different.

This is a complete game, and people can't help but want to get started when they look at it.

Li Qingfeng wanted to play, but when he heard that he would sell it for money, he was afraid that he would lose the ink, so he said, "Boy, let me show you how to play."

Li Qingwen nodded, and under the gaze of his father and brother, he skillfully moved the wooden block. In order to let his father and brothers see clearly, he deliberately slowed down his movements.

However, the steps were memorized long ago, and within less than a hundred strokes, the eldest lady surpassed her relatives at home and successfully "leaved the pavilion" from the courtyard with deep walls.

It looks quite simple, Li Qinghong and Li Qingfeng thought to themselves.

Seeing that they were eager to try, Li Maoxian said: "You two should try too, if the ink is lost, write again."

As soon as Lao Tzu spoke, Li Qingfeng immediately stretched out his hand to push the wooden block. The first few strokes went smoothly, but then it became chaotic. After walking dozens of steps, the eldest lady was still on the top floor.

Obviously it looked very simple before, why did it look like a mess when I made it myself?

Li Qingfeng was not convinced, the more anxious he became, the more chaotic he became. He only heard the crackling of the wooden blocks, but did not see the eldest lady move.

If this thing wasn't made by his own father, Li Qingfeng might smash it with his hands.

Sweating on the tip of his nose, but his head still hurt, Li Qingfeng turned to look at Brother Yao.

Li Qingwen patiently explained the tricks to him, "The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are two by two, don't separate them..."

Even if you know the tricks, it's still a bit difficult for a first-time player to succeed, so Li Qingwen guided him step by step, and finally, the eldest lady came out shyly.

"If you play a lot, you will naturally understand." Li Qingwen comforted.

Li Qingfeng is very clear, "I can't play this kind of game that requires brains."

After rearranging the chessboard, Li Qinghong put his hands on the wooden blocks. He was obviously more cautious than Li Qingfeng. He thought about every move for a long time, but when his mother called for dinner, the eldest lady was still in her boudoir.

"It's much more difficult to play than to look at." Li Qinghong was very puzzled. There were only a dozen pieces of wood, but they couldn't handle them well.

He said, "The eldest brother and the second brother must be better at playing than me. The eldest brother can think clearly, and the second brother can sit still."

Li Qingwen nodded, his elder brother was indeed quick-witted, and everyone in the village said it was a pity for him to farm.

Thinking of his elder brother, Li Qingwen was a little distracted. Li Qingrui was conscripted by the county to dig river mud in Fucheng. He had been away for almost half a year, and he said he came back after the autumn harvest.

Dingzhou is a long road, the prefectural city Qingcheng is to the west, and Liushan County is to the east, more than 1000 miles apart, farther than they go to the capital.

I don't know if he's working there smoothly or not.

Because of this game, I didn't have much time to think about dinner, so I gathered together immediately after eating, and continued to study this chess box.

Hearing Li Qingwen say that there are many ways to arrange formations on this chessboard, they are all amazed, this is very difficult, there are still so many ways to go.

Looking at the maltose during the day, it is not obvious that it is made of brown sugar juice, it is white and clean.

With more than two catties of sugar and the newly made chess box, Li Qinghong couldn't help asking when he would go to the county.

Going to the county seat early to exchange these for copper plates is the real peace of mind.

Chen looked at the head of the house, Li Maoxian coughed and said that it would be tomorrow.

Li Zhengliang jumped up and wanted to go, but his mouth was covered with a piece of malt candy by his mother.

In the afternoon, the three brothers went up the mountain to mow grass with baskets on their backs.

Around Yangshu Village, there are many large and small mountains. The earthy hills have been planted with crops, and the higher mountains are full of stones, and the grass can't take root.

There is not enough food to eat, and everyone can't wait to plant crops in every corner. Only the sides of the ditch and the bottom of the ditch can be vacant, and the grass is usually mowed in these places.

The so-called ditches are gullies formed by the erosion of rainwater. Over time, these ditches get deeper and deeper. The shallow ones are as high as a person, and the deep ones are one foot.

In some places, the ditch is straight up and down, steep and scary, while in some places it is very gentle, and you can walk down step by step. There are more weeds in these places.

Mowing grass is something we have to do every day. Some feed pigs and chickens, and the rest can be dried and burned. There are only so many crop stalks in the field. Some people have enough to burn, and some don’t. In spring, summer and autumn, we should save as much firewood as possible.

The weeds near the village were long gone. The three brothers walked north and met a few children who were also mowing the grass. They stared at Li Qingwen, suddenly yelled "fool", and then ran away.

Li Qing gritted his teeth aggressively, picked up a stone from the ground, shook his arms and threw it at them.

He usually hit people like this, and his aim was very good. When the stone hit a child on the back, the man yelled "Aww" and ran even faster.

Li Qingwen was startled, the stone just now was not small, if it hit the head, it would be dangerous.

But the fourth brother wanted to stand out for himself, Li Qingwen only said: "Fourth brother, who belonged to those children just now, we will talk to their parents when we come back, we don't educate others, we will be in trouble if we hurt them .”

"Those guys are nothing, it's useless to tell their parents, just beat them up and they'll be honest." Li Qing gritted his teeth in an airy manner.

Li Qinghong was also very angry, but he was more prudent, knowing that hurting someone would not only cost money, but also make trouble, so he advised Li Qingfeng not to be harsh.

Li Qingfeng's temper was hard and stubborn, he couldn't listen to it at all, and even quickened his pace irritably, leaving the two of them behind.

Li Qinghong was very helpless, these bastards who didn't know the door were very annoying, but beating people is not good anyway.

Li Qingwen chased after him and said a lot of good things around the little fourth brother. Li Qingfeng didn't calm down until he went back after mowing the grass.

After putting down the weeds, Li Qingwen quietly called out his third brother, and the two went to a house in Dongtou together.

As long as there are people, the gates of every house in the village are open during the day, and as soon as they arrive, they see a woman picking things in a dustpan in the yard.

"Auntie is at home." Li Qinghong stood outside the door and called.

The woman looked up and saw the two brothers outside the door, with [-] eyebrows frowned, got up and walked out, "Isn't this Sanwazi, did you come to my house to apologize?"

Li Qingwen and Li Qinghong were stunned. They came to ask for an explanation, so why did they just make an apology.

Before they could open their mouths, the woman rushed to say: "You beat up my family Dongli, how many people are watching, and want to deny it?"

"Auntie, there should be a cause and effect. Your Dongli called me a fool more than once, and we couldn't bear it before we did it." Li Qingwen said, "If he apologizes first and promises not to scold me in the future, then I will also apologize to him. I won't hit him either."

Seeing the former fool standing in front of him and reasoning, Pang was still very surprised. His triangular eyes were like blades, and he scraped Li Qingwen from top to bottom. Baba, you still make sense with me. Our Dongli is playing with you, don't take it seriously, my aunt wants to talk about your live donkey, he beat my son's back purple , I haven't come to your house to ask for money for soup and medicine, but you have come to ask the crime first?!"

As soon as he heard this person call his little fourth brother, Li Qingwen knew that this trip was in vain, the upper beam was not upright and the lower beam was crooked, his mother always swears like this casually, and the child is naturally not much better.

Li Qinghong was still arguing, "Dong Li was the one who scolded people first. Our family was too angry to do it. Dong Li scolded Zi'er not once or twice. Auntie, just take care of him. As long as he doesn't scold, our family will definitely not." Touch him with a finger."

"Sanwazi, how did you say that!" Pang put his hands on his hips, "Our Dongli just said it casually, and you beat him like that. I have never seen you being so overbearing and unreasonable. The big guys come to judge , the three of their brothers bullied our family for having few children, and beat people once or twice. I didn't care about them, but they came to blame me instead..."

Originally, there were people looking over here, and when they heard Pang's yelling, those who had nothing to do would come over, watching the heat more and less persuading the fight.

Li Qinghong trembled angrily, tightly clutching his younger brother's hand, "You, you mess around!"

"Don't put these useless farts in front of me! Wasn't your brother a fool in the past? Since he was a fool, he was afraid of being told, I'm yuck!!" Calling in front of you, next time you dare to beat our family Dongli, I will sit in front of your house and curse for three days, so that all the young and old in the village will know that your old Li family is bullying people because of how many people there are!"

"Vixen! Shameless!" Li Qingwen cursed suddenly.

Pang's eyes widened, and his fingers almost poked into Li Qingwen's eyes, "Little bastard, you dare to scold me for bullying our old Han family?!"

Dodging her finger, Li Qingwen said: "Aren't you just a shrew, you have no face and no skin, are you afraid that I will say it?"

Li Qingwen returned what Pang said just now.

The onlookers were full of novelty. The youngest son of the Li family had changed too much compared to before. He dared to scold such a difficult woman like Pang Zi directly. He was not cowardly at all. He was really just like his father .

Pangshi bullied him and wanted to slap Li Qingwen, Li Qingfeng grabbed his younger brother's hand and ran away, Li Qingwen turned around and shouted at Pangshi: "Your son has a bad mouth, he will cause trouble sooner or later, if he encounters a hard stubble, it is not like being hit by a stone." Well, that's all because of your lax discipline!"
