Good Farming in Spring - C58
The warmth that Lin Chunnuan and Zhang Liu could feel without looking closely made Dou Wang’s nose sour for a good moment. He raised his face and then very naturally walked past the two of them, as if he had repeated this scene many times, pretending to live like this.
“Wangzhige, I’ll help you.”
Zhang Liu chased the two into the house. Both of them were unwilling, so Zhang Liu could only speed up and wash the clothes, which was why Lin Chunnuan and Dou Wang helped to hang their clothes on the clothesline in the courtyard. There were a lot of clothes, and the rope was long, as if they were going to fall down.
“Elder sister, Wangzhige, wait for me. I will go to the foot of the mountain and dig for wild vegetables.”
The little girl said yesterday that she was going to dig up some wild vegetables to do some work, but she still remembered it today.
“Chun Jiao, you don’t need to use it today. Mother still doesn’t know if I can buy back the chicks today, after I buy back the chicks, you can go dig some wild vegetables again, okay?”
Hearing that she might not be able to get the chicken back today, the little girl was a little depressed, but she still obediently nodded and said to her sister,
“Alright, I’ll help mom work at home today.”
The little girl turned around and ran back into the house.
“Mom, hurry up and eat. I’ll sweep the courtyard after the meal.”
Lin Chunnuan smiled at Dou Wang, and the two of them went out of the door at the same time.
However, just as he was about to close the door, Little Spot jumped out and was almost pushed out of the way.
“What are you joining in for now? Go home and play with Chun Xiao, okay?”
Lin Chunnuan picked up Little Spot and smoothed her fur.
However, the little guy was completely ungrateful. The moment he wanted to put him on the ground, he would bite Dou Wang’s leg. Seeing that there was nothing they could do, Dou Wang carried Little Spot into his embrace.
“You must be missing your daddy. Why don’t we bring it along with us?”
Lin Chunnuan rushed towards the courtyard and shouted to his mother, saying that she was taking Little Spot away, while Zhang Liu responded and went out to bolt the door, Lin Chunnuan extended her hand out and touched Little Spot’s forehead with her finger.
“You, even if you wanted to follow me, you would still be able to meet your father. But Chun Xiao doesn’t have anyone to accompany him now, he misses you.”
The first thing Lin Chunxiao did when he woke up was to look for Little Spot on the ground. Little Spot and he were good friends now, but how could they not find each other?
“Mom, Mom, Little Spot is gone. Did someone steal it?”
Zhang Liu hurriedly came in to comfort his son. As she helped him put on his clothes, she told him that Little Spot had followed his sister up the mountain and was going to look for his father. Little Chun Xiao’s eyes immediately turned red.
“Mother, Little Spot doesn’t want me anymore. He only wants his father.”
He also had his own father, but his father didn’t like him, so he didn’t want to see him, but Little Spot didn’t want to see him because of his father. Lin Chunxiao felt wronged, so after his mother dressed him up, he laid in her arms, unable to get up.
“Chun Xiao, be good and eat something quickly. Help your Second Sister with the chores, your Second Sister is sweeping the courtyard.”
Of course, he wasn’t really asking his youngest son to go back to work. He was only trying to distract the boy. Otherwise, the fellow wouldn’t know how long it would take.
“I don’t want to eat. I miss Little Spot.”
Lin Chunxiao continued to act like a spoiled child, unwilling to leave his mother’s embrace.
“Mom has baked fragrant scallion pancakes this morning. If a certain child still doesn’t eat it, he won’t have a share.”
Zhang Liu wanted to put his son down and go to the kitchen, so Lin Chunxiao climbed out of Mother’s embrace and climbed down to the ground. Zhang Liu hurriedly helped him put on his shoes, and the little fellow used its short legs to look for food in the kitchen.
Zhang Liu laughed behind him, a little kid had forgotten things they don’t want to eat, once they arrived at Dou Wang’s courtyard, they ate well. In just two days, Chun Xiao’s face had already changed, but he was still a little kid, and could eat really quickly.
After helping his son cut the biscuit into a few small cubes to make it easier for him to eat, and at Chun Xiao’s request, he put some white sugar into the rice porridge. This white sugar was something that Spring Warm had bought from the village yesterday, and when Zhang Liu saw the white sugar, she was truly shocked.
“Mom, no matter how expensive it is, how could it be more expensive than honey? I still need to buy some honey in two days. Mom, aren’t you scared?”
Zhang Liu knew that the spring heat was making the honey for the sake of making the honey mint. That was something that could be exchanged for money, how could it compare with this white sugar that was just for fun?
But his daughter had already been bought back. Zhang Liu did not want to go too deeply into eldest daughter, so what his daughter did was to make him, Chun Jiao and Chun Xiao’s lives better. eldest daughter did not spend any money on her, so Zhang Liu could not really say any words of reprimand.
“Mother, I’ve finished sweeping the courtyard. What should I do next?”
Lin Chunjiao on the other hand, was not lazy, and quickly cleaned up the courtyard. Although it was small in size, but she did it quickly, and these were all jobs that she was used to doing at the Lin Family, so the little miss did not find them hard to do.
Chun Jiao, you can accompany me to eat dinner after I finish eating, and then play in the courtyard for a while. Mother has to go to the back courtyard to clean up the ingredients, everything else is fine, but this garden is in a mess.
“Go ahead, mom. I’ll go watch my younger brother.”
Lin Chunjiao saw that his mother was heading towards the backyard garden, so she went inside the house to accompany her brother when she heard his mother’s orders.
“Don’t leave the yard, just play in the yard.”
“Got it Mom, we’re not going out of the courtyard.”
As he answered, he entered the house and saw his brother eating the biscuit happily. His little hands weren’t holding anything, and his lips were covered in oil.
“Look at your face, hurry up and eat, Second Sister will help you wash, and then the two of us will go to the courtyard to pinch the clay figurines.”
Lin Chunjiao didn’t want to play with the clay figurine for too long anyway. She hated playing with the clay figurine, she hated the dirt, but since her brother liked her, Lin Chunjiao decided to stay with him.
It was unknown how much time had passed since the two of them started playing, but Lin Chunjiao did not do anything. She only watched as her brother dug a hole in the mud, then picked up the mud and formed different shapes.
‘Bang, bang, bang ‘Three sounds startled Lin Chunjiao who was looking at his brother intently with all her might. She also woke up from her stupor and looked at the door vigilantly. Those three sounds were probably knocks on the door, Lin Chunjiao did not care about his brother’s hands getting dirty, and quickly pulled his brother down, holding her hand, and pulled him behind him.
‘Bang, bang, bang ‘, three more times, Lin Chunjiao heard it clearly, it was indeed a knock on the door, but she did not reply, her sister had said that if the adults were not following behind her, no one should knock on the door, if people knew that there were only little children in the house, then it would be dangerous, and someone would steal it and sell it.
“Chun Jiao, it’s me, your aconitine.”
The people outside stood taller than the walls of the courtyard. Chun Jiao could not see the outside, but the people outside could see the scene inside the courtyard.
“I am Soybean, Chun Jiao, Chun Xiao will open the door for brother Soybean.”
Chun Jiao knew that the aconitine and the Soybean had delivered some things to her sister’s house yesterday, but she still couldn’t make up her mind when she went to open the door.
“aconitine, I’ll go call my mother.”
Ming Zi thought that Chun Jiao wouldn’t be able to open the door, so he quickly replied.
“Okay, go ask your mother to open the door, aconitine is waiting outside.”
She didn’t dare to leave her brother alone in the courtyard. Her sister had said that her brother was too young, so in the future, she shouldn’t leave him alone. Even if he was at home, she shouldn’t leave him alone.
“Mother, Mother, Brother aconitine and Brother Soybean have come to ask you to open the door.”
The little girl shouted loudly towards the backyard as she ran. When Zhang Liu heard her daughter’s voice, she quickly chucked the quill she was holding to the side and piled it up. She got up and walked towards the front yard.
“Your aconitine is here? I thought it would take another two days, otherwise your sister wouldn’t be in such a rush to go up the mountain today. ”
After coming out from the backyard garden, Zhang Liu met eyes with Ming Zi who was outside the wall.
“It really is Ming Zi coming. If I had known this would happen, I would have let Spring Warm and the others go to the mountain tomorrow.”
After opening the door, Zhang Liu welcomed Ming Zi and the group in, only to see Ming Zi pushing the two-wheeled cart from yesterday, the carriage was filled with random things, and in the middle of them, sat a middle-aged lady, who looked to be in her forties, with a haggard appearance.
“This is your aunt, right? Come on, aunt, get out of the car. Slow down. You must have felt numb on her leg. Don’t stagger on it.”
Zhang Liu carefully helped Chinese milkvetch root get off the carriage.
“Mother, this is the mother of spring. You called her …?”
Mingzi didn’t know what to call her anymore. He didn’t even know what to call her, so he was stuck.
“Aunt, I’m Zhang Liu. You can just call me Zhang Liu.”
Zhang Liu did not bother about these small matters, and reported her name to the Chinese milkvetch root. Chinese milkvetch root looked at the young wife in front of him, and immediately saw that she was clean and capable.
“It’s better if you call your boss. I’m very grateful that you let us, Ming Zi, come work here.”
Of course, Chinese milkvetch root knew that her son didn’t do anything important outside, she was extremely happy to have a proper job.
“Call him boss, just call him Zhang Liu. We’re all from the village, there’s no need to pay attention to him.”
Zhang Liu said as she supported Chinese milkvetch root into the house. Ming Zi followed behind, his eyes blinking, his meaning unclear.
