No one wanted that land, and it was cheap. Liu Jinfu habitually helped Duan Xiaohe get back the official seals for these procedures. He especially could not understand how he fell for that piece of crappy land.
Duan Xiaohe did not tell the truth. She just said that she would need to build a house in the future and that she would have to spend all her money on blades. Liu Jinfu laughed and said that a house was something that would last a lifetime. No matter what, he had to fix it properly.
Liu San nodded in agreement. They should raise some chickens and ducks or something like that.
went to the town, but when he thought of this, he asked the distribution organization that swindled Lady Zhang. Liu Jinfu sighed, then said that the person there had already carried the money and ran over to the Mingan County next door to continue lying.
But this time, he did it a little too big, cheating a bit of a capable person's wife and throwing a lot of money. His wife had no brains, and she boasted about it to the man at home. She was almost taken home by Hugh.
Thus, this matter became big in Mingan County.
Mian'an Kaixian was tough. He quickly solved the case and brought the money back.
Liu Jinfu praised, "This Ming An Prefecture is much more capable than our Qing He Prefecture. Qing He Prefecture is full of willfulness next year, I wonder what kind of person will come next."
Duan Xiaohe this kind of matter, this kind of young married woman did not care about it at all, as long as it was not like the fish village people's county before Mingan County.
Once the land was settled, Duan Xiaohe would hand over the matter of building the house to the Liu San. His house now had three plots of land. One was planted with sugar cane, the other with some vegetables, which meant that she was completely idle. The other was the small piece of land that had been distributed to him.
Since the Liu San wasn't home, Duan Xiaohe called Liu Da over to go with him to the Sugar Cane. From afar, she looked at his own family's well-developed Sugar Cane, and was extremely satisfied. But...
"Liu Er, what are you doing in my land?"
Duan Xiaohe, who rarely went down to the fields, would actually appear in her own house and try to break the sugar cane. Looking at his diligence, she almost couldn't recognize Liu Er.
Liu Er's movements paused, putting aside that slight uneasiness, he once again reverted back to his hoodlum look. Yun Xiang wants to eat this taste, I'll make one and go back to taste it. "
Duan Xiaohe squatted down and counted the sugar cane on the ground. There were already seven to eight of them. Isn't this too much? How could your family's Yun Xiang eat all of it?
Liu Er suddenly nodded his head, and repeatedly said that it was, so that Old Man Liu could have a taste.
There was a smile in Duan Xiaohe's eyes. Asking him so many sugarcane, it must be exhausting him, right? Liu Er laughed embarrassedly, and waved his hand to say that he was not tired.
She took out the small machete she brought along with her when she went out, and sliced off a stick of sugar cane with a few strokes, giving it to Liu Er.
"Don't be so polite, second brother. Although it's our branch family, we're still a whole family. The sun is high right now, and it's only one branch. Eat it."
Liu Er was indeed a little thirsty, although the sun was not as big as Duan Xiaohe said, but he was already tired after breaking off some sugar cane on the ground. He wiped his hands on his clothes a few times, then took the cane and started chewing on it.
Duan Xiaohe also cut one for Liu Da, but Liu Da did not stand on ceremony with her.
Liu Er spat all over the ground, wiped his mouth and said that he was being rude, and took the chance to carry the few canes on the ground. Duan Xiaohe stepped forward to stop them, saying that they were her, and he had no right to take them away.
"Although we were separated just now, we were still family. Why are you suddenly changing your mind now?"
"I did say that, but haven't you already eaten?"
"I'm eating, I'm eating. Fragrance hasn't eaten yet, dad hasn't eaten yet."
Duan Xiaohe pointed to the scraps on the ground, "You just said that you would only take one, you already ate it."
Only now did Liu Er realize that he had been beaten up by Duan Xiaohe once again. Before his hand could even touch the sugar cane, the back of his hand received a heavy blow. Raising his head angrily, he saw that Liu Da was actually gnawing on the cane while he was holding it.
"Why did you hit me?"
"I'm your brother."
The anger in Liu Er's heart grew even stronger, as if he wanted to fight with Liu Da. Liu Da spat the dregs in his mouth all over his face, then attacked Liu Er with the other half of the cane again, causing him to run away as he whooshed.
Duan Xiaohe gave Liu Da a thumbs up. Liu Da roughly understood that this was a compliment and felt happy. He also gave Liu Da a thumbs up, which made Duan Xiaohe happy.
Someone carried the hoe to the side and said the cane was really good. Duan Xiaohe was not stingy, she directly gave her one. At this time, there weren't many people who were willing to grow sugar cane under the Great Chong. Because the commoners felt that things like sugar cane, which only had a little bit of sugar and water and was full of dregs, were not satisfying at all when eaten, very few people would buy sugar cane.
Even if he wanted to try something new, he would have to spend silver to buy it.
And in Liu Village, Duan Xiaohe was the first person to plant the sugarcane. She just praised her family's sugar cane for its good growth and got one for nothing, which was very pleasing.
After she got the sugar cane, he kindly reminded her. Although the Sugar Cane had not grown up before, it had now matured. The people who were thinking about the Sugar Cane would be like Liu Er just now.
Duan Xiaohe was shocked, so it turned out that she had seen it earlier, why did she not come and help her talk about it?
She said that she had married into the Liu San, and although they had separated, she was still part of a family. As an outsider, how could he possibly let her off so easily?
This argument was indeed reasonable.
Looking at the sugar cane, Duan Xiaohe decided to chop them all off and move them back home! She let Liu Da do it while she went back to catch the oxcart. She just needed to load it up later.
Just as he entered the house, he heard Widow Li's weeping sound from next door, saying that Duan Xiaohe was ruthless, the things were all moved away cleanly, she did not even leave any leaves for them to eat. Right now, there were so many sugar cane that people were not willing to take a bite of. There were also the bamboo racks left behind in the yard. They occupied some space and were useless even if they were burned!
Liu Er was coaxing her to go take a look again at night, if not, he would steal one for her.
He also heard that Old Man Liu was always crying when he said that he was pregnant and he didn't like it when the child in his womb was turned into his daughter.
Hearing that, Widow Liu did not dare to make a sound.
Duan Xiaohe scoffed, thinking that it was hard to say, this girl, born to slap Old Man Liu's and Liu Er's face. She immediately decided that even if they had to work until nightfall tonight, she would not allow Liu Er to take advantage of half of the sugar cane!
After driving the ox cart back to the fields, Liu Da had already cut down half of the sugar cane, only then did Duan Xiaohe remember that Liu Er had broke it with his bare hands. She thought about how greedy that family was, even if she wanted to eat them, she would have to at least bring a knife. There were sugarcane in the ground, and it was not corn, so Liu Er could be considered a man with his bare hands.
The place was not big, but there were a lot of work to do. Duan Xiaohe was too embarrassed to let Liu Da do it alone, hence she rolled up her sleeves and revealed her two white arms.
"Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
When he raised his head, Liu San had actually returned. Liu San took the sugar cane in her hand and carefully put down her rolled up sleeves, covering his arms. The sun is high, don't get sunburned. "
Duan Xiaohe glanced at the sun that was about to reach the west, and said with a smile that there was no longer any sun left. Liu San carried the few pieces of Sugar Cane in one hand, and pulled her to the side of the oxcart to sit her down. "Be good and wait here."
Liu San got off the ground and started busily. Duan Xiaohe's heart warmed when she saw this.
The more people there were, the stronger they would be. Before the sun set, the three of them had already collected all the sugar cane. By the time they returned home, the sky had already darkened. Duan Xiaohe rushed over to cook. The kitchen of Liu Wang's house was big, with a big window that directly faced the neighboring courtyard. She purposely cooked quite a number of good dishes. Just by smelling the fragrance alone, it was enough to make her want to swallow her tongue.
After the meal was ready, she specially found a fan to fan the stove and fanned the window a few times. Recalling that his men didn't even need to eat anything after the food was slapped, he laughed foolishly and took out all the dishes.
The two men had already neatly piled up the sugar cane in the courtyard. Just as they went outside, they heard the Old Man Liu next door shouting angrily at Liu Er, saying, "What are you doing? Why aren't you cooking?" He didn't hear Liu Er's voice, but he did hear the voice of the Widow Li, saying that she wanted to eat Red Braised Meat.
Duan Xiaohe turned her head and glanced at the Red Braised Meat on the table, pursing her lips into a smile. When she raised her eyes and met with Liu San's similarly smiling eyes, she made a face and called for them to come over for dinner. She even called out the names of the dishes loudly at the entrance before entering the hall satisfied.
Liu San said that he had found the person who built the house and bought the materials. It was a good piece of wood that had been soaked in water for one or two years. As Liu Da ate, he looked at her pitifully. She felt that he could not be so generous with this piece of meat, and that Liu Da had spent a lot of effort today to give his a piece too.
Who knew that Liu San would get jealous because of this and beat her up that night. After that, the Liu San fell into a deep slumber. However, Duan Xiaohe stared at the ceiling and unconsciously placed both of her hands on her abdomen.
It's been so long, why is there no movement? Even she began to doubt herself if she really couldn't give birth.
The big hand suddenly covered her hand, and together with her palm it rested on her flat belly. She stiffened, and he took her in his other hand.
"Why aren't you sleeping? Why are you clutching your stomach? Hungry? "
Duan Xiaohe's heart sunk as she vaguely replied. Liu San held her even more tightly, beside his ear was his chuckle, "In my eyes, you are only a child, a child born after two years. How good it is for no one to take you away from me. "
