Good Farming in Spring - C59

This is all life.

Zhang Liu instructed Ming Zi as she walked into the house.

“Ming Zi, move them inside the room. I’ll help my aunt enter the room first, we’ll talk later if we have something to say. Chun Jiao, lead your brother to wash his hands.”

Since there were not many chairs in the room, everyone sat on the edge of the brick bed and lined up in a row. Chun Jiao thought that it was rather interesting, but he still took the teapot over and went to the kitchen to get a few bowls.

“Brothers, let’s drink some water first. We must be thirsty by now.”

The little girl was small, so she stood in front of the table and poured water into it. It was really not enough, she almost threw the bowl off when she went to grab it just now.

“Let me take a seat, little sister. You can also sit down and rest for a while.”

A young lad who followed along saw that Chun Jiao had spent a lot of effort and stretched out his hand to receive the water.

“Eh, it’s tea.”

Seeing that the liquid was a light yellow-green color, the young man exclaimed in surprise. They were all poor, but because they had been unruly for the town for many years, they definitely had the experience of going to other people’s stores to eat and drink. Although their families couldn’t afford tea, they had drank tea before.

Although they saw that the little girl had brought the teapot over, they didn’t expect that the teapot was actually filled with tea. Drinking water in the countryside was also done with the teapot, but most of the teapots were put on coolly.

In their eyes, tea leaves were worth a lot of money, they did not expect to see it in such a lonely little courtyard. In the morning, they came with aconitine, and when they saw the little courtyard, they sighed, aconitine must have been deceived, such a lonely little courtyard, how could they afford to hire people to build a house.

Now that he thought about it, he was definitely behaving foolishly. He was obviously hiding his strength.

“An Zi, it’s really the tea leaves.”

Another young man came over and looked at the colored water in the bowl, then patted the shoulder of the young man who had poured the tea.

“Is it really tea?”

The people sitting on the side of the brick bed also came over. Mingzi even picked up the water bowl and gulped down the water, before sighing.

“It’s really tea.”

The young lad was getting excited, looks like I have really found a good owner, the wages must be really good, then I will work hard, aconitine said, their family promised me the wages in the city, although aconitine said, this place should be the village’s wages, but if the owner is generous, the young lad’s heart would warm up.

“Come, come, come. Everyone, come and drink some tea.”

The young lad called An Zi quickly poured all the cups of tea. When the teapot was finished, Chun Jiao led An Zi to the kitchen and brought the kettle on to dry.

“I’ll go fill the kettle.”

Beans drank a large bowl of cold tea, which made her feel much more comfortable. She got up and took the kettle to the kitchen, filled it with water, then sat down on the fire.

“Chun Jiao, where are you carrying the water? I’ll go fill the tank up.”

Chun Jiao immediately ran out of the house and led Bean to grab a bucket and a carrying pole. Then, he brought him out of the courtyard and pointed in a direction to let him continue walking.

“Thank you, Soybean. Just walk all the way to the river bank to draw water.”

Bean took the bucket to the river, and Mingzi had tea with the boys. There was nothing to do.

“Chun Jiao, I can see that the mountain is right beside our house. If we’re going to cut down trees, we should be going there, right?”

After all, he was only five years old. Chun Jiao did not really understand much about the work of these adults.

“Then let’s go chop down some trees and come back. We must build a thatched cottage before it gets dark. We need to set up a place to stay first.”

Ming Zi had already decided to take over, so without waiting for Zhang Liu’s orders, he decided to lead this group of people up the mountain to cut down trees and build a house.

“Fine, I’ll listen to the aconitine. Anyway, we brought some tools here, let’s do the work first.”

blinked his eyes, and led his brother to their own house.

“Mother, Brother aconitine and the rest are heading up the mountain.”

In the house, Zhang Liu had settled the Chinese milkvetch root on the brick bed and was talking to the Chinese milkvetch root.

“Aunt, we are rather simple and crude here, please do not be disdainful. Ming Zi and the others will be working here in the next few days, so they had no choice but to bring you here.”

“You can stay here for now, but you didn’t prepare a bed. Let Ming Zi and the others go up the mountain to chop down some trees, they just so happen to be building a thatched hut, so they can directly make a bed for you. Ah, leave the bed over there, I’ve already cleared out everything.”

Chinese milkvetch root looked in the direction that Zhang Liu pointed in, and sure enough, the corner of the room where the table should be was currently empty. A chest and a table were both moved to the side of the room that was close to the door, obviously they were in the way, but one could still tell that this was a place that had been specially made for him.

It’s just that Mingzi is worried that I’m alone at home. Actually, I can still do things like cooking and washing clothes, but I don’t need anyone to take care of me. It’s just that my body isn’t too good, and I can’t do too much work.

The Chinese milkvetch root was afraid that Zhang Liu would think that she was too burdensome, and stressed that she could take care of herself. In fact, Ming Zi was worried that his own mother would be sick when she was at home, if she was sick, she wouldn’t be able to take care of herself when she was sick. How could Ming Zi be at ease?

When they were in town, no matter what happened, Ming Zi would have to go home and visit his mother every day in order to be at ease. His mother had followed him for so many years, so Ming Zi didn’t dare to let her be ill.

“Mother, Mother, aconitine and the rest are about to go up the mountain and cut down the trees.”

Lin Chunxiao also followed behind Second Sister. Zhang Liu hurriedly got up to go outside.

“Aunt, sit down first. I’ll go out and take a look.”

“Go, go, I’ll rest by myself.”

Chinese milkvetch root was afraid that he would delay his sons, so he hurriedly let Zhang Liu go out to busy herself with the proper matters. It was already good enough that she could follow his son here, don’t be a burden to his son.

“Alright then, Aunt, I will be going over. Chun Jiao, accompany Grandma.”

Because he had called her sister-in-law, Zhang Liu naturally allowed Chun Jiao to call her grandmother, but the result was that the little girl Lin Chunjiao was confused. Didn’t he call her big brother?

Zhang Liu walked out of the house at the right time, and welcomed Ming Zi who was leading the boys out of Dou Wang’s nice room. was actually a little not used to seeing so many young men around him, but, the warmth of spring was not at home, and only children were left. The one who came out could only be him, so Zhang Liu suppressed the slight panic in her heart.

“Are we going up the mountain now? Should we wait for the two of them to come back? You guys aren’t familiar with the situation, so don’t get into any more danger. ”

Zhang Liu had never been to the mountain before, but she had heard from the eldest daughter that there were some wild beasts that were very dangerous in the mountains.

“It’s fine. We’re just going to chop down a few trees. We have more people, so don’t worry.”

Ming Zi indeed did not take chopping trees on the mountain seriously, but when he saw Zhang Liu’s somewhat worried expression, he felt a little happy. It was probably because no one had cared about him for a long time, and Ming Zi was already used to him causing trouble, so he was not as worried about him in the past.

“Then just remember to cut down a few usable ones in the shallow woods. Don’t go any deeper, it will really be dangerous.”

Of course, they wouldn’t be so stupid as to go deeper into the forest. They had seen great leopard before, how could they not know that there were wild beasts deep in the mountains.

“Got it, we’ll be back soon.”

Ming Zi brought a few people and headed out. Zhang Liu looked at the sky and asked them to wait.

“I’ll go get some food. It’s almost noon, at least we can have some food when we’re hungry.”

Zhang Liu quickly took a small willow basket and covered the bottom with a layer of oil paper. She placed all of the remaining scallops and scallions in the basket and even cut the meat of deer that was added salt last night into small pieces. She also packed a lot of them as well, and added a water bag on top of them before finally letting them go.

Looking at the contents of the basket, the youngsters swallowed their saliva. This was oil cake and meat, it was something good that they hadn’t eaten in years. Mingzi had to put in a lot of effort to control his saliva.

“Then let’s go. When the beans come back, let him go and cut some grass and dry them up. With such a bright sun, it should be about time for us to come up at night.”

Zhang Liu nodded her head to show that she remembered it. After giving some instructions, she helplessly looked at the group of people walking towards the foot of the mountain. She turned around and went back into her house.

“Tell them not to go any further, I don’t know if they will listen to me.”

Chinese milkvetch root reached out and patted the back of Zhang Liu’s hand.

“Don’t worry, he’s not a child anymore. He’ll be careful.”

She was used to her son’s adventures, but she also knew that he was not brainless.

“That’s good. What would you like to eat for lunch? Would you like a pancake or a steamed bun?”

Zhang Liu felt that since this was the first time Chinese milkvetch root had come to his house, she would definitely have to welcome her well. She could not wait for a guest to come to his house, furthermore, this son of her was here to work for him.

“Anything is fine. I’m not picky with my food.”

Looking at the busy Zhang Liu, Chinese milkvetch root sighed in her heart. His son was already twenty-five, and there was still no sign of him getting married, but he did not know when he would have such a capable and virtuous daughter-in-law. This was all fate, he could only blame his son’s father for dying early.
