Chapter 61

Brother Li listened to the constant knocking at the door. Unwilling to move his steps to the front of the courtyard. When he was about to open the door, he thought about putting his head on the door and listening to the movement outside, but he didn't think there was any sound, so he had to open the door stuffy.

"Why did you wait so long to open the door?"

Little brother Li heard Li Changfeng's voice and immediately came back to life with blood“ second elder brother! Second brother! " Xu Qing looked at little brother Li's excited appearance and didn't hold out his hand to touch his head.

Brother Li let them in and immediately closed the gate. Li Changfeng noticed this, didn't say anything, but frowned a little more, "ah, they're all busy in the field. Those little dolls also went out to play with others. I'm alone at home, not to mention boring."

Brother Li pulled Xu Qing's sleeve and complained that Xu Qing didn't stop him. It's strange that he can stay at home so peacefully, "you can also go out." Brother Li shook his head melancholy. "My good friends are preparing for marriage. I can't disturb others."

Xu Qing thought of Chen Hong's good relationship with brother Li. "What about Chen Hong?"

Brother Li's face was almost wrinkled when he heard the speech. "He's preparing to marry, too. You don't know that he's going to marry the poorest Zhou family in our village!" Hearing what brother Li said, Li Changfeng immediately shouted, "how do you speak!"

Brother Li stuck out his tongue and immediately came down. Xu Qing gently pulled Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng's face looked a little better. "Did he want to fix it himself or his family?" Brother Li thought for a moment, "he made it up to himself. He said that the Zhou family was literate and good to him, so he told his ah Mo, and Chen ah Mo agreed. Therefore, Chen Hong is preparing for marriage these days."

Since everything has been confirmed, Xu Qing is inconvenient to ask more questions, so he asked Li Changfeng to give the gifts to Li's yard to brother Li, "these are for them, and this is for you. We have just built a house, and there are things at home, so we won't stay much."

Li Changfeng nodded, "help us make amends for ah, Ah Fu." As soon as brother Li heard that the two were leaving, he was a little flustered. "I'll go back now, I, I."

As soon as Xu Qing and Li Changfeng heard the tone of little brother Li, they thought there was something wrong. Li Changfeng sighed, "come on, what happened at home." Little brother Li looked depressed, "it's not the third brother yet."

It turned out that after Li Laosan was invited several times to teach him that he was going to take the scholar's test, his scholar's spirit came out again. It was obvious and hidden that he wanted to take the test again. But now there are fewer Li Changfeng at home, more children, and brother Li is the age of family negotiation. Where can he take the extra money for this "ambitious" Li Laosan!

Especially the daughter-in-law of the eldest brother's family was even more unhappy. He had complained about the third family. Unexpectedly, the third Li wanted to have the cheek to eat white rice! Of course, he could only arrange a few words in his heart, and didn't dare to say it.

Who knows, a few days ago, Li Laosan's little brother had a quarrel with Li Laosan's little brother. The little brother was old and knew to give way to each other. As a result, the more let, Li Laosan's little brother fought harder. No, the child didn't know what to do. He grabbed a stone and threw it to each other, and scraped the corner of his eyebrow.

It's OK. A little more is the eyes. Eldest brother Li's daughter-in-law quarreled. "As a result, the third brother quarreled with the eldest brother," little brother Li paused. "The third brother also said that the eldest brother's children were not intelligent. What's the matter, too..." what he said later was so unreasonable that little brother Li couldn't say it.

"This is really..." Xu Qing doesn't know what words to use to describe Li Laosan. No matter what, it's also his nephew. How can he say such words? He's still a scholar.

Seeing that Li Changfeng was still expressionless, little brother Li was not sure what he was thinking. When he was about to ask Xu Qing for help, Li Changfeng said, "don't worry about it. A father won't have an opinion. Let's go first."

"Third brother..."

Brother Li never expected that Li Changfeng would go home after hearing this. He thought that the second brother would stay after hearing this. Li Changfeng didn't have to guess what brother Li thought. "What can I do if I stay? You have to understand that I don't have the words of big brother and third brother in this family. I have my own family, A home that completely belongs to me and your second brother. "

Xu Qing didn't interrupt. It was OK for Li Changfeng to speak. No matter how much he said, it didn't make any sense.

Brother Li opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say. He could only watch Xu Qing and Li Changfeng leave in a donkey cart.

"Look what I do? Huh? "

Li Changfeng drove them back. On the way, Li Changfeng felt Xu Qing glancing at him. Xu Qing was not embarrassed when he was caught, but directly asked, "you don't like to take care of things over there."

Of course, Li Changfeng knows where Xu Qing's "over there" refers. "I'm the one who" married "into your family. It's also my" family ". I don't care what I do, but I really don't want to."

Xu Qing picked his eyebrows and looked at the back of Li Changfeng's head: "the married daughter-in-law is not a small day. Can you go quickly?"

Li Changfeng looked at the rising sun, "you are pregnant and can't run too fast. It's still early from noon. Are you afraid of tanning? Come on, take my clothes and cover it for a while. " Then he wanted to drive a donkey cart with one hand and pull his clothes with the other hand. Xu Qing quickly stopped, "all right, all right! I can stop it in such a short time. Don't do such a thing! " Anyway, he's also a man. He's just afraid of heatstroke.

In the following days, Xu Qing and his family were happy and worried. They were happy that people came to the site almost every day to carve "wood doll phase", and most of them were nanmu. They had income every day! Even if you don't dry crops, you can eat meat every day! If you make the villagers jealous, don't.

It's about Xu Qing and Li Changfeng. It's not about Xu Qing's family. The whole village, town, or ordinary people are worried. That's the day. It hasn't rained for five or six days.

The children in the hot village went to the river to have a water fight, but the faces of the adults and the old man were sad. The crops in the field are a good time to grow. At this time, the sun is shining all the time, but it will be dry for a long time. If it is dry, the life of the farmers will be sad.

Xu Qing hid in his room to catch a cold. It was too hot. He would sweat whenever he walked. Li Changfeng carried water from the river to the fields or vegetables three or four times a day these days.

"Dong Dong, is brother Qing at home? I'm Xie Yu. "

As soon as Xu Qing heard the knock on the door, before he got up, Xiao Bao had rushed to the gate of the courtyard in high spirits. He was too busy these days. Even if more people came to ask for the statue at home, Xiao Bao would not relax. Xu Qing rebuked Xiao Bao and opened the scorching gate against the hot sun on his head, Outside the door are Xie Yu and Lin Fangliang dressed in cool clothes.

"Come on in, it's hot."

Xu Qing took Xie Yu and called Lin Fangliang in. When he was about to close the gate, Li Changfeng came back, "second brother Li." Lin Fangliang said hello to Li Changfeng. They went into the main room and sat down. Li Changfeng poured herbal tea for several people, while Xu Qing brought warm and boiled water.

Lin Fangliang drank some herbal tea and quenched his thirst. His face was a little heavy. "The price of grain in the town has increased." As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart sank. After a long time, Li Changfeng sighed, "I hope there will be some rain early this day." Otherwise, the food will be more and more expensive. The farmers have no harvest in the fields. They have no tax grain on the food and no money to buy food. That day

"Don't always think about the bad. The old man changes his face very quickly. Who knows if there will be a rain tonight." Lin Fangliang felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy. He immediately said ha ha, trying to ease the heavy hearts of the people.

Xie Ge'er shook his head. "I think we still have to make some plans. We just came back to discuss with them whether we should buy some food in the town, but the harvest in the field is not big. At least it's always right for us to buy some to save while the price of the grain house is not high."

Xu Qing nodded. His mood became more and more heavy with the continuous hot sun. There was rice and meat in the space, but he couldn't take it out casually. He looked at Li Changfeng. He didn't know that Li Changfeng was looking at him, "buy, use our donkey cart and pull a few carts back, not only to buy tax grain, Even when we can harvest crops next year, we have to buy food! "

"OK, let's go back and tell them about it. In an hour, we'll meet at the intersection at the end of the village!" Lin Fangliang and Xie Ge'er felt that Li Changfeng's idea was more long-term, so they immediately decided to go back to discuss and meet later.

After Lin Fangliang and Li Changfeng left, Xu Qing and Li Changfeng returned to the room. Taking the opportunity to search in the cabinet, Xu Qing took the opportunity to take out their money box from the space and put the box on the bed. After Xu Qing opened it, he looked at Li Changfeng. "Before, we had 1372 dolls. These days, there are many dolls carved on the door, making 88 Liang, a total of 225 Liang."

Li Changfeng took out fifty Liang, closed the box and handed it to Xu Qing, "Fifty Liang is enough." You know, even if there is no food, it is only five Liang silver to replace the food with silver. Of course, no family can take out so much without blinking. Li Changfeng would rather buy more than let Xu Qing and his children starve on the day when there may be no harvest.
