Chapter 181
Brother Zhi and Brother Yan stayed on the mountain this year, and they were still in charge of the greenhouse, replacing Brother Zheng and Brother Ming.Before leaving, Liu Yaoqing said that when there are few people on the mountain, you can go to see Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan.
Generally, when it is getting dark in the afternoon, the least number of people come. Even those who come from a long distance will basically spend the night in the village. There are houses on the mountain, but they have to pay money for one night. These porters are reluctant, so there are only a few Wealthy merchants are willing to enjoy.
Standing outside the warm shed, Brother Zhi counted with his fingers, and said: "I guess no one will come back later, Brother Yan, I'll go and see my parents, if someone comes again, go to the pancake workshop and ask Brother Qi for help. "
"Yes, take the food from our room." Brother Yan said.
The land Zhi Geer and Yan Geer jointly bought is not big, but it is a top-grade field and it is close to the mountain, and it is surrounded by Liu Yaoqing's family's land, so the men can take care of it when they work in the field.
At this time, the wild raspberries had been cut long ago. Except for a few dead ones, the rest were alive and well, growing green leaves and small flower buds.
Zhang Dashan came from the distant river with two heavy wooden barrels. He walked very carefully, and the water in the barrels in front of his thatched shed was not spilled much.
"Brother Zhi?" Zhang Dashan saw that Brother Zhi was coming, put down the barrel quickly, and walked over quickly.
"Mother, these are the pancakes I bought from the mountain. There are [-] pancakes in total. There is also a piece of pork. It can be eaten for several days after being marinated with salt." Brother Zhi didn't stop when Zhang Dashan came, but continued. , "Most of the fields are planted with wild raspberries, and the lesser half are planted with vegetables. As for food, you two don't have to worry about it."
"Hey." Liu Jinmei agreed, and after thinking about it, she hesitated and said, "Brother Zhi, that..."
Looking at Liu Jinmei's sad face, Brother Zhi said with a straight face: "Did uncle come to you? Don't care what you think about this kind of thing in the future, anyway, I will never agree. This kind of words can also be used Don't tell me, you two have raised wild raspberries and saved some money this year, let's start with a house and live in it properly before talking about other things."
"Oh." Liu Jinmei didn't dare to speak anymore.
Brother Zhi was not happy, so he went to the field to have a look and then left.
At this time, Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan’s daily food is basically delivered by Brother Zhi or Brother Yan, and sometimes Li’s family will also ask someone to deliver food. Anyway, there is no shortage of food, and there are meat and vegetables. So tired, Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan themselves felt comfortable.
But the day before yesterday when Liu Quanfu came to ask her for help, she didn't refuse.
"Brother Zhi is getting more and more angry now." Liu Jinmei said, "Hey, we..."
Zhang Dashan didn't speak, and silently carried a bucket to water the field.
Back on the mountain, Zhi Geer saw Yan Geer helplessly and said: "Our parents are too independent, they can do whatever others say, but they still don't want to listen to their own people, that is, their own parents, or I will appoint .”
"Our parents can't listen to what they say, they listen to what others say." Brother Yan also said, "It's better than anything else to make them live a good life."
The two elder brothers don't expect Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan to figure it out on their own. After making up their minds, the two of them will be the masters of the family. Anyway, Liu Quanfu and Old Man Liu will never be close.
At noon, Brother Zhi looked at the greenhouse, and Brother Yan happened to meet Mrs. Li when he went to the dining hall to eat.
"Third aunt, my uncle is looking for my mother again, I don't know if he is looking for third uncle." Brother Yan said hastily.
"Success, I see." Li Shi said.
After carrying the food back to the house, Mrs. Li took some time to eat a few mouthfuls and had to take care of the children.
Liu Quanjin also came back for lunch, helping to take care of the children.
The three children are all chubby, they can eat, and they are more energetic. Either one cries or the other urinates, so only Li can take care of them. If Liu Yaoqing is called, I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of them all day.
"Boss is looking for you?" Li Shi asked.
"En." Liu Quanjin said, "It is said that there is no one to help at home, the land will be abandoned, and if the wild raspberries are not well served this year, our family will lose face. I want to find time to help, that is, weeding, watering It doesn't take much effort to water it."
"Oh? There are indeed wild raspberries in the backyard over there, but there are also in the field. You have taken care of them? When the boss says that the cabinets and benches in the house are broken, do you want to help fix them? Xiaobao is married and you go Yes, I didn’t give you dinner after working all day, and you also went to celebrate the New Year, and I didn’t give you anything to eat, so I told you to work.”
"My ugly words are up front. If you go, take off all the clothes on your body. This is not your Liu family's, but Brother Qing's. Don't eat here, and live with the boss's family from now on, don't come back It's over." Li said categorically, "I'm the chief steward on the mountain now, I told you not to let you go up the mountain, let's see if you can come up!"
Once the call was over, Mrs. Li ignored Liu Quanjin, put the child to sleep and started sewing again.
Liu Quanjin wanted to say that it would be a big deal to go help first and come back later, but if the Li family in the past must have listened to him, the current Li family is different, and I am afraid that if he really goes down the mountain, not only the Li family will not Let him go up the mountain, if Liu Yaoqing comes back, he will have to tell him to peel off his skin.
Brother Xing also came over to eat, and interjected: "Father, I didn't mean you. My uncle and aunt have hands and feet, can jump and jump, why can't they work? Don't tell me they are superior, you are the one who has to serve them How can there be any difference? But if the uncle treats Brother Qing better and works harder, there is no need to try to find you to work every day."
After finishing talking, Brother Xing still felt puzzled, and said again: "Father, you are willing to act like a fool, so you can go on your own, don't drag me and my mother, and don't blame me for not recognizing you as a father!"
Liu Yaoqing said this before, Liu Quanjin didn't take it to heart at the time, but now Brother Xing said it again, Liu Quanjin felt uncomfortable and couldn't refute it.
After a long time, Brother Xing had gone out, and Liu Quanjin said, "That's my elder brother."
"All right, all right, you only have big brother. Without me, you don't have brother Xing, and you don't have brother Qing. Go and live with your big brother." Li Shi waved his hand impatiently, "Go, go, I Out of sight out of mind."
When Liu Quanjin went out, Mrs. Li called Brother Xing into the house and told him: "You keep an eye on your father. If he sees your uncle again, you go up and drive him away. If he dares to go down the mountain, our family really doesn't want him." gone."
"I know." Brother Xing said, "Brother Qing told me earlier, that's all if this father wants it, if not, it will be more worry-free."
There are many things to do on the mountain, and there are many people who come here, and their knowledge has increased. Both Mrs. Li and Mr. Xing gradually broadened their horizons. They no longer just think about the three-acre land at home. For Liu Quanjin, they still think about Liu Quanfu in their hearts. Dislike from the bottom of my heart.
When they got to the shed, the fellow workers also persuaded Liu Quanjin.
"You said that you don't want to have a good life, so why do you have to go there?" The man hated the iron, "If you really want to treat the boss well, you have to ask him to work by himself like Brother Qing."
"Old man Liu is getting more and more outrageous, caring about how good the life in the field is."
"Third brother, I didn't say that, you must not make Brother Qing angry. Brother Qing has not had a good life since he was a child, and now it's finally smooth, so don't hold back."
Liu Yaoqing was sick every day when she was a child, she couldn't get off the kang for eight out of ten days, and almost killed her.
At those times, Li's clothes were basically waiting on him, and Liu Quanjin always asked old man Liu to take him to work in the field.In the beginning, Mrs. Li used her dowry to secretly exchange eggs for Liu Yaoqing to eat, but Mrs. Li took Xiaobao and gave them to Xiaobao. Mrs. Li came back and told Liu Quanjin, but he turned to his own mother and nephew.
It can be said that Liu Yaoqing has been sick a lot since she was a child, and she has never eaten good food. The porridge she drank was coarse grain porridge that adults are not used to. Anyway, Brother Zhezi occasionally sent some meat, otherwise Liu Yaoqing might not grow up at all.
Everyone in the village saw these things in their eyes. They used to think that every family had bad things, and it was not easy to intervene in other people's affairs.
But who knows that Liu Yaoqing is so capable, he almost waved his hand to have such a powerful mountain top, at this time the whole village relies on the mountain to eat, let alone Dan County, most of the people who go out from Shanggu Village are For a decent manager, not to mention the salary, the clothes, food, etc. are all enviable.
In front of Liu Quanjin, the men spoke in a more tactful manner, while the villagers spoke more directly behind their backs.
"The third child has no eyes, if it wasn't for Brother Qing's kindness, he would call his father and mother to reconcile now, and his mother is beautiful and dignified, so it would not be difficult to find him again."
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy the third child took, so I just believed what the boss said, and didn't believe what my family said."
"If it wasn't for Brother Qing coming out of the third child's family, how could they live such a good life now."
"Hey, it's all about Brother Qing's ability."
Those who spoke detested Liu Quanjin, felt that he was confused, and envied him for having such a good son as Liu Yaoqing, who almost changed the third house of the Liu family by Liu Yaoqing alone.
"The third child seems to have forgotten about our house and won't come." Liu Quanfu said with a cold face.
The coarse-grain rice cooked at home has only one dish of stir-fried vegetables and no meat.
Xiao Li ate voraciously, and said: "Tell my father later, the third child can't do this."
Now old man Liu and Mrs. Li are in charge of the meal, and Mrs. Li does not take the meal to the room after cooking, but directly brings it to her own room. The couple can eat as much as they want. If Xiaobao and Mrs. Zhou don’t take the initiative Come here, then wait to eat the bottom of the pot.
"The third child has no conscience." Liu Quanfu said.
Old man Liu and Mrs. Li were both in Xiaobao's room, looking at Mrs. Zhou, and told her to lie down to protect the pregnancy.Liu Quanfu came over after he was full and said, "Xiaobao, why don't you come over to eat? Dad, the third child lives on the mountain and forgets about us. What do you do?"
"What?" Old man Liu raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Quanfu.
"Father, go up the mountain and ask the third daughter-in-law if she is about to turn the world upside down. How about asking the third son to come down the mountain and come to our house for a few days?"
