The busyness of spring ploughing did not last long. It was lively, and the busy period came and went quickly. The work in the hands of the farmers also became easier. They went to the ground to look at the crops and took care of the vegetable seedlings. There was a lot of rain in the spring, and the mountains were fresh and tender. The wild vegetables are slowly growing.
Lin Fangliang went back to town after helping the Xie family with the farm work. He had been out for several days. There was only Dr. Lin at home, and he was not at ease. Although he was busy with farm work these days, he often made excuses. Talking to Brother Xie and getting along with him also gave him no time to go to the back mountain. Before leaving, Brother Xie gave Lin Fangliang a pair of straw sandals. In fact, Lin Fangliang watched Brother Xie do it and asked for it specially, but , He was still very happy, and with reluctance and longing, he went back.
In the Xu family's yard, the chickens occasionally made a "chirp" sound, and the piglets in the pigpen also echoed a few times from time to time, making the original two-person yard full of farmhouse characteristics.
Li Changfeng was making the wardrobe that Wei's second son wanted, Xu Qing was sitting on the side and earnestly making straw sandals. He has made three pairs of sandals in the past few days. Li Changfeng is now wearing a pair of straw sandals made by Xu Qing.
"Do you think our chickens will be braised and eaten later?" Xu Qing has already started to think of his own chickens who have only grown up a little. He hasn't eaten chicken for a long time, and he sees a group of little chickens in front of him every day. Walking around made him think more and more.
Li Changfeng pushed away a lump on the wooden board and heard this: "Okay, these fifteen are all red-hot!"
"But, I want to eat eggs again!" Xu Qing thought of the steamed golden egg custard, sprinkled with chopped green onion, God, just thinking about it makes his mouth water.
This made it difficult for Li Changfeng to continue. These chickens are so small, it would be very early to wait for them to lay eggs. It seems that Xu Qing wants to eat eggs, and he has to go and see who has saved them.
"Dong dong! Is anyone there?"
Xu Qing put down the half-finished straw sandals in his hand and patted the dust on his body, "Come on!" He was not very familiar with this voice.
"Hello Xiaoqing!" Xia Yu, with a bright smile on his face, called out to Xu Qing who opened the courtyard door with a basket.
This title made Xu Qinglei a little bit, making him inexplicably think of the little green snake in Bai Suzhen! "Who are you?" This little brother Xu Qing said that he really didn't remember who it was. You know, few people came to him, and even fewer came to him.
Xia Yu didn't mind, and introduced himself with a smile, "I'm the brother of the Xia family, my name is Xia Yu!"
Xia family? Oh! Li Zheng's home! Xu Qing reacted immediately, and this is the village where they have this surname, "Come in, our house is a little messy, I'm laughing."
Seeing that Xia Yu had not entered the courtyard, Xu Qing began to look around, thinking that he had seen something he threw when he was making straw sandals.
Xia Yu hurriedly shook his head, "No! No! Oh, by the way, this is the handkerchief I embroidered myself, for you!"
Xu Qing watched Xia Yu take out a few handkerchiefs from the basket and hand them to him. Xu Qing didn't know how to react at this time. He and Xia Yu could be said to have no intersection at all. What kind of medicine
"Come in, what are you doing standing at the gate of the courtyard?" Li Changfeng shouted loudly without seeing Xu Qing come in for a long time.
"Come on! Go ahead, this is not the place to talk."
The sun was just right today, it was warm, and it wasn't hot. It was very comfortable to be in the sun. Xia Yu and Xu Qing sat in the yard, facing each other, a little embarrassed.
"Cough, do you have anything to do with me? Let's be honest, it's all from the villagers, what's the matter?" Xia Yu saw Xu Qing motioned to the basket, and immediately his face became a little hot, yes, he came to the door just like that. Well, I've never been here before.
"It's like this, I heard Wei Ah said that you can make spiny fish, so I want to come and learn." At first, Xia Yu didn't believe that spiny fish can be made into delicious dishes, but many people in the village can do it. So he wanted to come to Xu Qing to learn, but he didn't believe others. After all, this practice was spread by Xu Qing here.
Xu Qing did not expect that the purpose of Xia Yu's visit was actually to learn how to cook fish, "What's the matter, come, I'll tell you again, and then ask me if you don't understand anything."
Li Changfeng listened to Xu Qing's careful words, and the voice made him inexplicably fascinated. He raised his head and saw Xu Qing showing a smile, which moved his heart, his daughter-in-law is indeed the best!
"Understood? Any other questions?"
Xia Yu nodded immediately, "Understood, Xiaoqing brother, you are really amazing, think of doing this."
Xu Qing said that he would be happier if there were no three words for Brother Xiaoqing, "You can call me Xu Qing, or Brother Qing."
Xia Yu didn't think that it was because of Xu Qinglei's name. He thought he just didn't like it, so he changed his words immediately: "Brother Qing! I understand!"
Ruzi can be taught, Xu Qing is more and more satisfied with his teaching ability, "Brother Qing, do you know Doctor Lin Xiao?" Xia Yu asked Xu Qing in a low voice cautiously.
When Li Changfeng heard this, he didn't have to wonder what was going on. When Lin Fangliang left, he broke the heart of an unmarried brother! Finally, a man from the town came to the village, why did he leave without staying for a few days! This is not the case that several brothers in the village have caught a cold, and they all like to go to Lin Fangliang's shop to "see a doctor!"
"Uh, yes, my family style and Dr. Lin Xiaodao are good brothers, what's wrong?" I can't see that Lin Fangliang is really good, and the little brothers have come to them to find him.
Xia Yu bit his lip, "No, I just heard that Dr. Lin Xiao from the town came to our village a few days ago, and I wondered why he wanted to come to our place and help with his work."
Xu Qing can't be questioned. He can't say that Lin Fangliang came with a purpose. "As a doctor, he thinks differently from us. This is also a common thing."
Xia Yu saw that Xu Qing couldn't fit anything else here, so he said goodbye and left after sitting for a while.
"Tsk tsk, my brother Xiaoyu has a rival in love!" Xu Qing was keenly aware of Xia Yu's careful thoughts, and began to worry about Xie brother, this time it was Li Changfeng's turn to be puzzled, "They haven't made it yet, why are they doing it again? Got a rival?"
Xu Qing closed the gate of the upper courtyard, and began to work on the things in his hand again, "I don't think so..."
"Dong dong! Is anyone home? I'm Chen Qi!"
Before Xu Qing could finish speaking, the courtyard door was knocked again.
"Chen Qi! His visit is definitely about his little brother!" Xu Qing asked Li Changfeng, who was resting, to open the door. He packed his things and was about to make lunch. Chen Qi came so far, so he couldn't leave the house empty. Go back belly.
"Changfeng."
"What's wrong with you!" As soon as Li Changfeng opened the door, he saw the tired face of Chen Qi, who had not seen him for a few days, with a wry smile on his face, "Come in."
Xu Qing put the tea on the table in the main room, and was also surprised by Chen Qi's mental state. He could remember that this person, like Uncle Xie, was smiling and straight all day. It's still like that, obviously hiding something in his heart, "I'm going to cook, let's talk."
Li Changfeng pulled the stool and sat opposite Chen Qi, "Tell me, what's going on? Make it into this virtue!"
Chen Qi rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, "After you told me about Ma Fugui that day, I went back and told me what happened to them. They were also surprised. They didn't believe it at first, but they went to town by themselves. I secretly inquired about it, and that bastard really deceived us! So I found the Ma family that night and wanted to break off the marriage, who knows...".
Who knows why the Ma family refused to agree to break off the marriage, and even called Ma Fugui's cousin who was working in the yamen in the middle of the night, saying that the Chen family did not speak up, and if this was placed in the yamen, they would be punished. of!
"Don't bully us as peasants and don't understand the affairs of the yamen. In order to prevent Xiaohong from marrying that kind of person, it took me a lot of effort to let the Ma family relax and cancel the matter."
Li Changfeng felt that this matter was not that simple. If it was cancelled like this, Chen Qi would not be what it is now. "And later they regretted it?"
Chen Qi shook his head wearily, "I still can't believe that until now, Xiaohong still wants to marry Ma Fugui, you say, what's the matter! It took us a lot of effort to let the Ma family relax. But this little red, he! Alas!"
Because Chen Hong still insisted on marrying Ma Fugui, which brought the Chen family into a deadlock, and they did their best to get the Ma family to withdraw from the relationship. This Chen Hong has made this mess again, let him marry, but he already knew what the other party was like. The Chen family is not worried about Chen Hong marrying in the past. Besides, she has already resigned from her relatives. If she remarrys, wouldn't it be a backlash! Don't let him marry, and now Chen Hong is angry at home, saying that if he doesn't marry this rich horse, he will marry no one in the future!
"I'm really going crazy these days. Tell me, what the hell is Xiaohong thinking! He didn't have this kind of virtue before!" Chen Qi really couldn't understand why Chen Hong made such a decision, and, because Ma Fugui's divorce means that he has no children, which has also caused Chen Qi's wife to be in a low mood these days.
"Did you talk to the Ma family later?" Li Changfeng frowned. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this because of Chen Hong. In my memory, Chen Hong was not the kind of person who would say that if you don't marry Ma Fugui, you won't get married. people.
Chen Qi shook his head, "How could it be possible to come to the door to talk about this matter? We insisted on leaving, so we retreated and came to the door to beg. Isn't this a slap in the face?!"
And even if the Ma family agrees, but Chen Hong's marriage, isn't it because they are looked down upon by their family! How to live in the future.
Li Changfeng nodded, this matter is really difficult to handle, but this matter is about the Chen family's family affairs, and he can't help directly, "Are you here today?"
"Thank you for telling me about Ma Fugui. Last time I left in a hurry, I didn't have time to thank you. Besides, the family was too depressed, so I came out to breathe."
Chen Qi's daughter-in-law has not talked to Chen Qi very much these days, and her communication with the Chen family has become less and less. Chen Qi is busy with Chen Hong's affairs, and has not paid much attention to the reaction of her daughter-in-law. , I wanted to communicate with Chen Qi's wife, but unexpectedly, "My wife returned to my father-in-law's house this morning. I went to find him, but my father-in-law told him to stay at home for a few days, and there was nothing I could do, so I left. "
