hunting and farming husband

Chapter 26 Counting

But it is obviously not suitable to eat tofu at this time.

"Is Ayu alright?"

Behind Ye Rendong, Cheng Langyu's eyes were full of thick ink mist, as if he wanted to swallow the glutinous rice balls in front of him.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ye Liandong turned her head puzzled, met this look unexpectedly, and trembled in her heart.

Ah Yu was like this last night, and then he tossed himself half the night.

Ye Rendong couldn't stand his gluttonous appearance, so he raised his arms softly and covered Cheng Langyu's eyes.

"Ayu, it's time to wake up."

Cheng Langyu just smiled, his long and narrow eyes slightly curved: "Afraid I'll eat you?"

Ye Liandong bit her red lips lightly, and nodded invisibly.

But the man's eyes were covered and he couldn't see, Ye Liandong got tired of lifting his hand and slid down to his shoulder.

"Ayu, I'm not coming."

Cheng Langyu followed his hair, not in a hurry, it will grow out in the future.

Behind him, Cheng Langyu put on his shoes, pinched Ye Rendong's armpit, picked her up, brought her to sit in front of the bronze mirror.

Ye Rendong clasped his hands and looked at the figure in the bronze mirror.Every time I sit and stand, I always smile with curved lips.

Cheng Langyu ran her fingertips through the long hair, flipped it a few times, and Ye Liandong had a bun on her head.

He took out a silver hairpin from his pocket and inserted it into his hair.

Ye Liandong was puzzled. "When did you buy it?"

Cheng Lang lived in Yuhuan, his chin sank into his shoulder, and he said in a soft voice: "This is my mother's. He said that he will give it to his future daughter-in-law in the future."

Ye Rendong lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "It's so beautiful."

Unlike other brothers, Ye Liandong can pile up hair accessories on his head.What he uses the most is the cloth strips that have been washed white.

This is the first time wearing a hairpin.

He touched the quaint hairpin, his eyes filled with admiration for the mother-in-law whom he had never seen before.

He thought that if Cheng Langyu could give birth to such a good child, then she must be a sensible and gentle person, and he would be their family member in the future!

The big cat around the neck seemed to be addicted to rubbing, and one side of Ye Liandong's face puffed up.

Suddenly, Ye Liandong's earlobe felt a prickly pain.

He raised his hand and touched it, and found that there were uneven marks on it.

"Ayu?"

The hand pinching the earlobe was suddenly held by the man.

Ye Rendong looked at him aggrievedly: "The earlobe hurts from biting."

Cheng Langyu rubbed him and said, "I'm sorry." His heart ached, but seeing the red marks half covered by his clothes, his heart was full of satisfaction.

Ye Rendong thought that he would serve tea later, the imprint on his earlobe would definitely be seen.

He said: "What should I do?"

Cheng Langyu smiled, took off the hairpin, loosened her hair again, and covered her ears with her hands.

Ye Liandong seemed to be insecure, touching her from time to time.

Cheng Langyu turned the person around and hugged her to face her, with her forehead against her forehead.

"Don't be afraid," he let go of the hand rubbing his ears, and bit the tip of his nose, "Look, it's gone now."

The earlobe was bitten when I got up early, and it hasn't healed now.

Ye Rendong finally gave up, but the uneasiness in his heart was unspeakable, and he was extremely ashamed.

A bowl of brown rice porridge, two dishes of leftovers.

After breakfast, the couple got up and went to the old house.

Because of the hard tossing last night, Ye Rendong stepped on the ground and trembled.

Along the way, he was hugged by Cheng Langyu, who almost put the weight of his whole body on him.

Many uncles just smiled kindly when they saw it.

It's a pain in the ass.

When he arrived at the ancestral house, Ye Rendong repeatedly promised not to fall, and let go of the hands behind his waist.

At that moment, his legs softened and he almost knelt down.

Cheng Langyu caught it quickly with his eyes and tentatively said: "Or I'll hug you."

Ye Liandong puffed up her cheeks: "Hmph."

There is no way, holding back for too long, the wolf is very hungry.

In the end, with Cheng Langyu in his arms, Ye Rendong entered the door with his mouth tightly pursed.

The old couple of the Cheng family smiled when they saw someone coming in.

After a round of tea toasting, Ye Liandong returned to the familiar state with them.Those who should be called grandpa are called grandpa, and those who should be called grandpa are called grandpa, which has not changed much.

Ye Rendong was at a loss when he saw Zhong Lingxiu's teasing eyes.

After serving tea, they stayed here for a while, and the two of them went back with the two children who stayed here last night.

On the first day of the wedding, there are still things to be busy at home.

Tomorrow is heavy snow, the temperature is getting lower and lower.While there is still time, I have to see what is lacking at home, and prepare what should be prepared so that I can enjoy the new year and winter.

Ye Rendong walked a few steps in the ancestral house, and was hugged by Cheng Langyu as soon as he went out.

He shook his calf in fright: "Someone is watching."

Knowing that he is thin-skinned, Cheng Langyu took him along the road behind the house.But he said: "It's fine if Fu Lang doesn't look at it."

Ye Rendong groaned, and knocked his forehead on his chest.

There are indeed no people on the road outside, but it is close to the paddy field.Along the way, the water reflected the shadows of the two cuddling together.Warm and peaceful, as if it can last forever.

Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer held hands and looked at them suspiciously.Cheng Langyu gave him a look, and Cheng Shao decisively turned his head and walked along the main road of the village.

Cheng Shao knew that he would live with his eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future, so he had to listen to them carefully.

Because they had to cook for the builders at noon, the Cheng family ate in the main house.

Cheng Langyu stayed with Ye Rendong for half a day, but was rushed by him to do business again.

Because it was the first day of their wedding, the Cheng family refused to let Ye Rendong help.So Ye Liandong was at home with her two children.

Ye Liandong sat by the door with a stool in his hand, watching the two children watching ants and playing house.

He couldn't sit still, so he simply stood up with his waist supported to see what was left in the house.

Most of the leftovers were taken to the ancestral house, and there are still half a pot of elbows and a half pot of stir-fried vegetables.

But he didn't know the rice noodles at home, so he felt at ease after looking at them.

Ye Rendong took the key Cheng Langyu gave him, waved to Cheng Shao who was in the yard, and asked, "Brother Shao, do you know where the food at home is kept?"

Cheng Shao pursed his lips and pointed to the room where Du Qiuhong used to sleep. "My mother put all the food in the cabinet."

"Well," Ye Liandong said gently, "Would you like to go take a look with me?"

Cheng Shao raised his face and ran a few times to grab Cheng Baoer back.

"Sister-in-law." He said.

Ye Liandong touched the heads of the two children, struggling to move.

Du Qiuhong slept in the largest bedroom. Ye Liandong found that the lock on it was only a symbolic lock, so he pushed the door open.

Looking from the door, there is a canopy bed inside, the mahogany is shiny, and it looks like it is newly built.There is also a half-person-high wardrobe next to it, but when the wardrobe is opened, clothes are everywhere.

The dressing tables of paulownia wood are lined up by the wall, and there is still open rouge on it.

Ye Rendong sighed softly, stuffed the clothes into the cabinet, not wanting to look at them.

Cheng Shao looked at his mother's clothes in a daze, and thought of his mother's words, his eyes turned red pitifully.

Ye Liandong half hugged him: "Good boy, follow us from now on."

Cheng Shao sniffed and hummed lightly.

Letting him go, Ye Rendong saw the cabinet Cheng Shao mentioned.

On the side of the door is a solid wooden cabinet.The style is very old, the surface is peeled off, and it looks out of place with the furniture inside.

Ye Rendong didn't hesitate, and opened the cabinet door.

The cabinet is huge, equivalent to a small warehouse, but the things inside are only piled up at a corner.There are also a lot of rice beans scattered on it.

Ye Liandong probed in and pulled out the cloth bag in the corner.

There are three bags in total.Polished rice is the most, about seventy or eighty catties.The second is half a bag of cornmeal, weighing forty catties.There is half a bag of fine white flour, about thirty or forty catties.

They are all the best rice noodles, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are for the rich people in the town.Even in Bai's house before, he never saw Aunt Bai had a meal of polished rice.

In addition to these three bags, Feng also has an oil tank. There is not much oil, so there is only a bottom left.

Ye Rendong asked Cheng Shao who was squatting beside him: "Did you eat brown rice before?"

Cheng Shao shook his head: "My father ate it when I was there. Later, my mother said that it hurt her throat, so she didn't eat that."

Ye Liandong twirled her fingers around her hair. "Is there anything else to eat in that house?"

Cheng Shao scratched his head: "No, my brother's house is dirty, and Auntie won't let it go. Auntie hid everything in the small kitchen here."

Ye Liandong bit her lip, that is to say, there is nothing else in the house except the leftovers from cooking.

Doesn't it mean that the snow hasn't melted yet, and the family will not have enough food.

Seeing them squatting, Cheng Baoer also jumped and squatted next to Cheng Shao, thinking they were playing.

Ye Liandong asked suspiciously: "Are these the grains grown at home?"

Cheng Shao blinked and said, "I heard that Auntie called someone to come to the house and sold the field."

"Sold?" Ye Liandong's almond-shaped eyes rounded, a little dazed.

"Yeah, there is no farming at home, so Auntie often goes to the street to eat, and then brings us steamed buns."

Take steamed buns to eat for a day or two.

Speaking of this, he pointed his fingers together: "All the food at home is bought in the town, and Auntie doesn't like cooking."

Cheng Langyu moved his hand holding the key, and there was a crisp sound.

Why do farmers still buy food?Wouldn't that be better than the people in the town?

Even Aunt Bai would plant something to eat behind the creek.

Ye Rendong was a little worried, it seemed that he had to make a good plan with Ayu.

Cheng Shao knew about the family affairs, so Ye Liandong simply went out and sat in three rows with small benches.

Ask first to understand.

"Since your father passed away, have you been buying food for your family?"

Cheng Shao grabbed Cheng Baoer and recalled: "Well, what I ate were steamed buns and the meat brought back by Auntie."

"Have you ever raised chickens and ducks at home?"

Cheng Shao shook his head: "No."

Ye Liandong was distressed: "Do you grow vegetables at home?"

Cheng Shao's eyes lit up. "Yes, in the backyard."

Ye Liandong felt a little relieved, but it was only as big a comfort as silk.

After talking with the children for a while, he had enough rest, and he took the two children into the kitchen.

This time we got married and bought a lot of vegetables, including rice and noodles.But he didn't know how much was left.

Ye Liandong opened the kitchen cabinet, half of it was piled up.He breathed a sigh of relief.

Open the tightly tied bag, there is a sack of brown rice, some soybeans, and flour.It counts more than that in the house.

Polished rice is accompanied by brown rice, about two hundred catties.The combination of cornmeal and flour will weigh hundreds of catties.

Like Ayu, it costs forty catties a month to eat staple food.He and the two children together should weigh twenty to thirty catties.In that month, at least sixty catties were lost.From November to early January next year, a total of almost two months.

There is enough food for the winter.

Ayu took care of the outside, so he took care of the house.

Most of the vegetables that the workers eat now are grown in the ancestral house, and what is not enough is bought by Ayu.Don't worry about that for now.

And the winter vegetables in the house here should not have to worry, Cheng Shao said that there are some vegetables in the backyard of the house.

But...he thought about Du Qiuhong again, and thought it would be better to go and have a look.

Going inside along the fence, the square piece behind is divided into two halves.Half of the sheds were built, which should be pigpens.

The other half is the vegetable field, but it is more like the wild field outside.

Overgrown weeds cover the tender vegetable seedlings.It's not like planting it, but letting it grow by itself.

Ye Liandong, holding his trouser legs, went in to pick up the weeds.I can roughly recognize that there are some radishes and cabbages underneath. Because the seeds are sown too densely, they grow similar to the wild vegetables outside.

The wild vegetables haven't even grown well yet.

Ye Rendong felt a little sad in his heart.What a good place, wasted for nothing.

After reading this side, Ye Liandong came out with his back braced.He also drove the two children to the yard to play, and he had to clean up the house.

The quilt that was changed last night also needs to be washed.

Ye Liandong carried the basin into the bedroom, and stuffed the quilt cover thrown on the stool into the basin.

The bright imprint and confused breath made Ye Liandong's eyes turn red.He rubbed his sore waist, and carried the basin to the yard.

There is a special well in the yard for easy access.

Because he couldn't touch cold water, Ye Liandong had to go to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water and wash with cold water.

Cheng Shao watched him rub his waist frequently, his delicate face wrinkled.He asked worriedly: "Sister-in-law's back hurts, I'll squeeze it for you!"

Ye Liandong's hand on the lower back of the hammer froze.

Cheng Shao thought he didn't believe it.He raised his head and said sincerely: "My hands are very good, A Niang often asks me to pinch with Bao'er."

Ye Liandong calmed down, and touched the two children who were looking at her.

"You two go to play, don't stay here, be careful to splash your clothes."

Cheng Shao was not so afraid of Ye Rendong anymore, he boldly approached Ye Rendong tentatively.The little hand clenched his fist and lightly hammered his back.

Ye Liandong froze for a moment, but didn't stop her.

Hold the warm quilt cover in your hand, and rub the soap root to make bubbles.Ye Liandong supported her body, washed the clothes in a few strokes, spread them out and hung them on the bamboo poles outside.

A relaxed smile appeared on his face.Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer squatted beside him, staring blankly.

Auntie smiled very warmly, as warm as the sun shining.

It was almost noon, and Ye Rendong somehow recovered his energy.He stretched his waist and swung his legs before taking the two children over for lunch.
