leisurely farming life

Cheng Qing got up early the next morning, because he was too worried about the cabbage in the field, he didn't sleep well all night.

Just as he was getting ready to go, Liu Niansi appeared behind him: "Brother Cheng, let me go with you. When my family grew cabbage in the past, my father took me to get it."

Thinking that Liu Niansi could also help, Cheng Qing nodded: "Okay, then let's set off quickly."

Along the way, he met many people who greeted Cheng Qing cordially, and Cheng Qing smiled at them all, and did not say a word to others.

Everyone looked at Liu Niansi obediently following behind Cheng Qing, and some of them lost their minds and stopped talking for the time being, after all, they didn't want to sell their children to be slaves.

When the two of them arrived in the field, as Xiao Shan said, the heads of the cabbage had already popped up, and some of the cabbage that had grown well had been squeezing the cabbage next to it, so the layers were uneven, and seeing Cheng Qing was heartbroken.

"How to do this?" Cheng Qing said at a loss: "Just pull it up? Will it damage the cabbage?"

"It's okay, just pull it up from the bottom of the cabbage gently, don't use too much force, just pull it up by the root."

Liu Niansi was worried that he didn't explain clearly, so he went down and pulled out a cabbage himself to show Cheng Qing: "It's like this, and then about three plants away, plant the pulled cabbage again and bury it with soil. "

After Cheng Qing understood, he threw himself into the field immediately. With helpers, Cheng Qing's work was much faster. When Wang Zhili came from a distance with a hoe, Cheng Qing and Nian Si had probably finished pulling half of the field.

"Brother Zhili." Liu Niansi saw Wang Zhili first, and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

Cheng Qing also saw Wang Zhili, and nodded with a smile.

Wang Zhili also nodded: "It's almost finished?"

"That's right, we got up a little earlier, so it's almost done. Where's Brother Zhili's? Can I help you?" Liu Niansi replied while pulling out the cabbage.

"It's okay, I can do it myself."

Wang Zhili didn't say much, and walked to his own field to work on his own.

Cheng Qing glanced at Liu Niansi who had been watching Wang Zhili go away, felt a little bit in his heart, and asked hesitantly, "Niansi, do you have feelings for Wang Zhili?"

"Huh? Why did Brother Cheng say that?" Liu Niansi buried his head in his hard work again, puzzled by what Cheng Qing asked him.

"You just kept looking at him, did you treat him..."

"Brother Cheng, you also know that I have always been very worried about my future. Brother Zhili is recognized as a good person in the village, if I can marry him, of course I am willing.

But Brother Zhi Li doesn't seem to mean much to me, so I have long regarded him as a brother.

Because I happened to save Xiaoshan's life, brother Zhili has always been grateful to me, and he also regards me as a younger brother. I don't know if he has feelings. He is such a good person, so it's strange that he doesn't feel it? "

Fortunately, Cheng Qing secretly rejoiced that it would be a crime to break someone's marriage because of some thoughts of her own.

After working for another half an hour, the cabbage in the field finally grew evenly and vigorously. Cheng Qing looked at it with great satisfaction.

Liu Niansi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, the kale is ready, let's go back, the sun will only get bigger and bigger, don't get sunburned and your health will be bad."

"Don't you need to fertilize it?"

"I don't need it today. When I'm free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll come over to water it."

Cheng Qing nodded, feeling very satisfied that there was one more person in the family, and he was relieved.

The two greeted Wang Zhili, who was still busy, and went back first.

On the way back, Cheng Qing deliberately bypassed Liu's house and stopped at the door of Liu's house.

He knew that Liu Niansi was really homesick, but even in a village, the two families often didn't meet each other, and when they did, they couldn't talk too much, so Niansi hadn't seen his father even once in the past few days. and dad.

"Go home and have a look, and come back after lunch."

Liu Niansi shook his head: "Brother Cheng can come around to my door today, I'm already very happy, but no matter what, I can't enter the door, let alone have lunch, let's go back, sister Xiaoyun is still waiting for us at home .”

Cheng Qing said with a smile: "What? You want to learn from Dayu to control the floods, and pass through the house three times without entering?"

"no……"

"Then keep it, otherwise, I will never let you go home again."

"Uh..." Cheng Qing walked away satisfied, Liu Nian thought for a long time, and finally opened the door of his own house. When he saw his father sewing his clothes in the yard, his nose was sore and tears flowed down his face I can't say a word.

Uncle Liu raised his head and looked at his son standing at the door, with tears streaming down his face, muttering: "Niansi, Niansi..."

"Dad..."

Cheng Qing went home alone, and before Xiaoyun asked him, he told him that Liu Niansi had gone home and would not come back for dinner today.

Xiaoyun was also happy for Niansi from the bottom of his heart, and unconsciously cooked an extra dish to celebrate for Liu Niansi.

In the afternoon, Liu Niansi was brought by Uncle Liu himself. Uncle Liu took a lot of food and even brought a chicken from the family. He said that he heard that Cheng Qing was sick and wanted to make up for Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing couldn't refuse Uncle Liu's kindness, anyway, now that the three of them eat together, the chicken can be shared with Liu Niansi, so he accepted it generously.

"Mr. Cheng, thank you. If it wasn't for you, our Niansi family wouldn't know what would have happened. Thank you very much..." Uncle Liu said it very emotionally, and the expression of thanks was so sincere that Cheng Qing didn't realize it. smile up.

"Uncle Liu, you are welcome. Niansi is also my friend. If he is in trouble, I will definitely help him if I can. Don't worry, I promise you, I will not bully Niansi. If he wants to go home, I will help you." I won't hinder him either, you can rest assured with me. Anyway, a village is only that big, I will let him go home more often to accompany the second elder, don't worry."

"Brother Cheng..."

"Mr. Cheng, I know your kindness." Uncle Liu said with a smile: "But we took your money, and Niansi is now a member of your Cheng family. No matter what, he must have the rules of a slave. Go home, let him take good care of you here, so that his father and I can rest assured at home."

Cheng Qing: "..."

Finally, I know who Liu Niansi learned the rules and etiquette in his mind at a young age.

After Uncle Liu left, Cheng Qing went back to her room to sleep, Xiaoyun was working in the front yard, and Niansi was making clothes in the backyard, Cheng Qing seemed to be thriving.

A few days later, the clothes were finally finished. Cheng Qing looked at the clothes delivered to him, all the needlework was exquisitely done, especially the beautiful patterns embroidered on the clothes, Cheng Qing was even more satisfied.

"I also told Xiaoyun to follow you to learn how to make clothes. It seems that there is no need for it now. Let's go to the town in a few days and pick up some cloth. Nian Si, can you make some clothes for me too?"

"Brother Cheng, I'm not good at making clothes. Next time I buy some cloth, I'll ask my dad to make it for you. The clothes my dad made are great!" Liu Niansi said modestly.

Cheng Qing waved his hand: "Don't be modest, besides, I don't want to bother your father, so I just decided to make some clothes for me, okay?"

Liu Niansi smiled: "Of course, as long as Brother Cheng doesn't dislike my craftsmanship."

"Then I want it too, Nian Si can help me do it too, okay?" Xiao Yun appeared from behind, with anticipation in his eyes.

Liu Niansi nodded: "Well, of course."

Xiaoyun couldn't be happier.

"It's getting late today, let's visit again tomorrow."

It was near noon on the second day when Cheng Qing took Xiao Yun and Nian Si out.

At this time, every family eats lunch at home, few stroll outside, and Wang Zhili usually only comes home at meal time, so going out to visit Wang Zhili at this time is the best choice.

Sure enough, they basically didn't meet anyone along the way, and if they did, they were just a few people rushing home in a hurry, and no one showed much interest in them at all.

Xiaoyun knocked on the door familiarly, this time she responded to the knock and asked, "Xiaoshan, is Xiaoshan at home?"

There was the sound of running inside the door, and Xiao Shan's childish answer: "I'm at home, Miss Xiaoyun!"

As soon as the door opened, Xiaoyun laughed first and said, "How do you know it's me?"

"I heard it!" Xiao Shan said proudly.

Finding that sister Xiaoyun was not the only one at the door, Xiaoshan immediately opened the door of his own house wide, and led the three of them in very hospitablely.

Cheng Qing naturally sat on a chair in their yard, and after calling Xiao Shan over, he asked, "You're the only one in your house? Has your father come home yet?"

"Hurry up, my dad was already home, but someone asked him to help, so my dad went out, and he said he would be back soon."

Xiao Shan replied seriously: "Aunt Cheng Shuang, what are you doing with Sister Xiaoyun and Brother Niansi?"

"I want to come to your house to play, isn't that okay?"

"Of course, I'm just curious about why you came here suddenly, hehe." Xiaoshan scratched his hair foolishly, but the expression on his face was really happy.

Cheng Qing asked Nian Si to put the things she brought on the table, and said to Xiao Shan, "Look, Auntie Shuang brought you something nice..."

"What?" Xiaoshan anxiously opened the package with Brother Niansi, and seeing the clothes inside, his eyes widened and he showed an incredulous expression.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"Give it to me?" Xiao Shan's expression was dull, with disbelief on his face.

Cheng Qing nodded: "If you don't give this size, who will you give it to?"

"why……"

"Wang Xiaoshan, I'm back, take out the food, you can eat..." Wang Zhili walked in while patting the dust on his body, because he kept his head down.

So they didn't see Cheng Qing and his party at all, and when they looked up, they swallowed what they were saying.

Wang Xiaoshan put down his clothes, walked to his father, and said, "Father, Aunt Cheng Shuang and sister Xiaoyun and brother Niansi are here."
