Reborn Brother Farming Story

Chapter 248

Liu Yaoqing brought back a lot of dried kelp from Linhai, soaked it in water, scalded it in boiling water, cut it into thin shreds, mixed it with shredded cucumber and shredded pork, and poured hot oil on it, it tasted like a whole pot full of shredded pork of.

"Give some to everyone you know." Li Shi said, "Brother Qing said this is a rare item, we don't eat it alone, let everyone try it."

"Success." Liu Yaoqing glanced at the big basin brought by Mrs. Li and said, "Is there a cover? It would be bad if there is dust or something floating in on the road. Give me another wooden clip."

"Everything is ready." Li Shi said.

Brother Zhezi was holding a huge wooden basin, and Liu Yaoqing was holding a wooden clip, and they went down the mountain together.

"Brother Ning." Brother Zhong's house is the closest to the mountain, so Liu Yaoqing went to Brother Zhong's house first.

"Uncle." Ning Ge'er poked his head out from the room, saw Liu Yaoqing coming, and hurriedly opened the door to let him in.

The room is warm, with a thick leather blanket on the kang, and a small pile of big money on it, all of which Ning Geer got from taking care of the wild raspberries alone this year, no matter how he spends it, he has the final say. The child is counting.

"Give you some kelp to taste." Liu Yaoqing said.

"I'll go get the plate." Brother Zhong hurriedly stood up, brought back the plate and asked with a smile, "Aren't Brother Zheng and Brother Ming coming back this year?"

"Well, Brother Zheng and Brother Ming are both busy and won't come back for the New Year. Brother Zhong, you will take Brother Ning to the mountain for dinner. Brother Xing has a lot of things to do when he gets married, and he needs help." Liu Yaoqing came out with a lot of kelp , before leaving, he said, "Grandfather, I'll go back and have a look, don't call Brother Ning."

The child is too young, and he has been dependent on Brother Zhong since he was a child, and he is ignorant of the old man Liu's affairs. Liu Yaoqing thinks it is better to have less contact with him. When he grows up and becomes sensible, he will naturally know what to do.

"I know." Brother Zhong nodded.

Brother Xuan and Liushuihe haven’t come back yet, and the New Year’s goods have not been prepared yet, but the fifth mother-in-law is not worried at all. Generally, Brother Xuan and Liushuihe can prepare the New Year’s goods within a day after they come back. .

All the acquaintances in the village went there, and the kelp was all distributed, so Liu Yaoqing went to Old Man Liu's house with Brother Zhezi.

The cold wind was blowing, and the other people wore thick clothes even if they had no fur. Liu Yaoqing even wore a big jacket and a small jacket one by one, with leather gloves on his hands, and a scarf on his head. The leather hat, and only the clothes worn by Old Man Liu were not as good as last year, but the room was burning hot, not cold at all.

It was rare for Xiao Bao not to go out, sitting on the kang, grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, when he saw Liu Yaoqing entering the door, he opened his mouth, "Brother Qing is here to deliver food."

"No food." Liu Yaoqing said, "I just came to see."

"What's in that big basin?" Xiaobao asked.

"It's kelp, and it's all distributed among the villagers." Liu Yaoqing said, "Grandfather, you can go and see Brother Xing and Brother Guo when you get married in the next year. You can do it alone, and you don't need to bring anything. "

At that time, there will naturally be other respected old people in the village. Let old man Liu go and have a look, but just ask him to see what kind of life everyone is living.

Old man Liu didn't speak, he sighed after Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi had left, "Brother Xing and Brother Guo didn't come to inform them of their engagement, I still listened to what others said about the New Year's gift delivery a few days ago."

"Will you go that day?" Shi Li asked.

"Let's talk about it later." Old man Liu said in a low voice.

They have completely separated and severed ties, Liu Yaoqing still knows that he is a good grandfather.Old man Liu wanted to see it from the bottom of his heart. His old face had been torn off and trampled on countless times, and it was not worse than once or twice, but he had to wear decent clothes to go.

In the past, old man Liu had good cotton-padded jackets, but this year Xiaobao got fatter, so Mrs. Li took them apart and made new clothes for Xiaobao.

Since the beginning of winter, the old man Liu has hardly gone out except to go to the mountains to cut firewood.

Not to mention the cold outside, every household in the village is busy preparing for the New Year, new fabrics, new clothes, all kinds of food, and even buy half a piece of pork back home, even some children are holding a lot of money, running around the village Running around, clamoring to go to the town to buy candy.

There are also those who work in Shanggu Village, Danxian County, Linhai and other places. Although they have not returned home now, the family members are all preparing for food, new clothes, etc. in different ways, and they are all looking forward to returning.

Duduliu old man's family is different, even if he goes out and meets people, he doesn't have much to say. Could it be that Liu Quanfu ran out of the house?

Old man Liu had made up his mind that he would not go out even during the Chinese New Year, so he was ashamed.

"Brother Qing." Lai Zizi stood at the door of his house, hugging his little brother.

"The child is very clever, take good care of him, and he will be fine when he grows up." Liu Yaoqing said with a smile, "Go back and eat seaweed."

Lai Zizi’s younger brother has been smart since he was a child. What’s rare is that Lai Laizi doesn’t care much about his eldest son, but the younger brother always remembers this silly brother. He often gives him food and knows that he is locked up. Sister Cui in the house is my mother.

It's rare for brother to be so clever, so Liu Yaoqing made a special point.

In the future, if the elder brother grows up and can not grow crooked, Liu Yaoqing will not do anything to the younger brother because of Lai Zizi and sister Cui, and will help if he can.

Turning around and going back to the mountain, Liu Yaoqing had to prepare again, the people who went out to work would come back in two days, and the people of Shanggu Village had to go up to the mountain for the last meeting no matter what, this happened every year.

A few years ago, Liu Yaoqing was busy by herself, so she didn't make any preparations, but this year happened to be idle, so she had to make a fuss.

A carriage drove into Shanggu Village, everyone who saw it knew that this was the return of the people who worked outside the village, and the drivers were all familiar faces, and there were people looking out from the carriage, and some even waved and yelled. up.

"I'm looking at Brother Shui."

"That's Liu Sangen, my little brother is tanned."

"I heard that Liu Sangen lives in Linhai or Dan County. We haven't seen the sea yet, so we have to ask him what the sea is like."

"There must be someone in Linhai, not Liu Sangen, but someone else."

Everyone was talking cheerfully, while some people hurried home, regardless of whether they ordered or not, they began to pack up the food, making sure that those who went to the mountain could eat steaming food as soon as they came back, and it had to be fresh There are tricks.

Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi stood at the gate, watching the carriages stop one after another, and the people above came down one by one, all carrying heavy and big boxes, dusty.

Su Qi and the others went straight to Liu Yaoqing, still standing behind him like last year, the slouchy little man looked really nice.

"Go back first, and come to the mountain in the afternoon." Liu Yaoqing said, "Your family members are waiting."

"Success, let's go back and clean up first." Brother Xuan said cheerfully.

Most of these people are important stewards. A small number of people have only left Shanggu Village this year, but they are also deputy stewards. It goes without saying about their abilities. They just wait for experience, and they will be stable stewards next year.

Liu Sangen and Liu Ergen went from the mountains to Dan County and then to Linhai. Now Liu Sangen is the official steward, and Liu Ergen is the deputy steward.There was no one else in the two's family, and they thought the house must be dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, but when they came back, they looked like people lived there, and everything was swept clean.

Just as he was surprised, the door next door opened, and the man came out with his hands in his hands and said with a smile, "When the Chinese New Year is coming, our families discussed and found Li Zheng, and found someone to testify, and helped clean it up, so that you don't have to pay for it when you come back. It needs to be cleaned again. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, so it's better to relax."

When they were going out, Liu Sangen and Liu Ergen were worried that something might happen at home, so they gave Uncle Liu the key. This time, they opened the door and went in. Seeing that the courtyard and the house were clean, they knew It was cleaned very carefully.

Liu Ergen said: "I have to ask which families you helped us with."

"Hey, not many." The man said one by one without thinking too much.

In the end, after waiting for a while, Liu Ergen and Liu Sangen carried gifts together, and they all gave away things.

"Oh, there's also steamed cakes. It smells much better than the steamed ones at our own house. I'll take this to my mother's house later, so I'll save face."

"Brother Sangen knows how to be a man and can talk. It seems that he is going to be a man who is pleasing to my eyes."

"That's not the case for those wandering outside, so let's not worry about it."

These neighbors all think that it is not easy for Liu Sangen and Liu Ergen to live together. They have been able to help each other since they were very young. Even if they are not short of money for food and drink, they still consciously help and worry about it .

At Uncle Liu's house, I haven't seen him for a year. Brother Shui has grown a lot, and he looks almost like an adult man, but he took the initiative to say: "Don't worry about my marriage. There are many brothers outside, and I always have friends." middle."

"Since Brother Shui has said that, let's leave him alone. The men, brothers, and daughters in the family can talk about kissing and start talking about kissing. Even if others ask, we have something to say, and we can still be trapped by the rules. "What Liu Wushu said is similar to what Liu Yaoqing said that day.

"Well, I have to go to the mountain." Brother Shui stood up again after eating some food.

Others know that this happens every year, and they didn't say anything.

When we arrived on the mountain, the stewards who lived close to us had already arrived, and they all gathered in the dining hall.

Su Qi and the others didn't rest, they helped Liu Yaoqing prepare snacks and put them on the table, and there were wooden plates, teacups, chopsticks and other things in front of each steward, which were very convenient to use.

"Let's get together for a while." Looking at these people who have changed and grown year by year, Liu Yaoqing is really happy from the bottom of her heart.

Brother Xuan put a piece of snack in his mouth and said with a smile: "Now that I think about it, we are all busy outside, so there is very little time for chatting like this."

"That's not true. I remember that time in the middle of the year. In order to learn to calculate accounts, I counted with my eyes open and closed. At that time, I thought I was going to be exhausted, but now that I think about it, I am not very tired."

"During the break in Dan County, my brother and I went for a walk in a nearby town, and someone came to us specifically, saying that they wanted me to be an accountant, and I could pay the wages."
