Chapter 61：

Listening to the constant knocking on the door, Li Xiaoer walked to the courtyard gate unwillingly. When he was about to open the door, he thought about putting his head on the door, listening to the movement outside, but didn’t want to. There was no sound, so I opened the door dullly.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?"

Li Xiaoer heard Li Changfeng's voice, and he was full of blood and resurrected instantly! "Second brother! Second brother!" Xu Qing looked at the excited look of Li Xiaoer, and resisted not reaching out to touch his head.

Li Xiaoer let the two of them in, and immediately closed the courtyard door. Li Changfeng noticed this and didn't say anything, but frowned a little more, "Ah, they are all busy in the field, those little babies I also went out to find other people to play, I'm the only one at home, not to mention how boring."

Li Xiaoer pulled Xu Qing's sleeve and complained. Xu Qing didn't stop him, but he was surprised that he could stay at home so peacefully. "You can also go out and stroll." Li Xiaoer shook his head melancholy. My good friends are preparing to marry, and I can’t bother them."

Xu Qing remembered that Chen Hong and Li Xiaoer had a good relationship, "Where is Chen Hong?"

When Li Xiaoer heard this, his face was almost wrinkled, "He is also preparing to marry, you don't know, he actually wants to marry the poorest Zhou family in our village!" Li Changfeng heard Li Xiaoer's words and immediately roared Said: "How do you speak!"

Li Xiaoer stuck his tongue out and immediately came down. Xu Qing gently pulled Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng's expression was slightly better, "Did he decide it by himself or his family?" Li Xiaoer thought for a while. "He decided on his own, saying that the Zhou family was literate and literate, and was kind to him, so he told him Ah Mo, Chen Ah Mo and they all agreed, so Chen Hong is also preparing to marry these days. ."

Now that everything has been determined, Xu Qing is inconvenient to ask more, so he asked Li Changfeng to hand over the gift for Li’s yard to Li Xiaoer, “These are for them, and this is for you. We just built A good room, there are things at home, so I won’t stay much."

Li Changfeng nodded, "Give it to us, Afather." When Li Xiaoer heard that the two were about to leave, he was a little panicked, "I'm going back now, me, me."

When Xu Qing and Li Changfeng heard Li Xiaoer’s hesitant tone, they felt that there was something in it. Li Changfeng sighed, "Let’s talk about it, what’s wrong at home." Li Xiaoer also looked depressed, "I’m not the third brother yet. ."

It turned out that after Li Laosan was asked several times to teach him about to take the test of Xiucai’s younger generation, his book business came out again. This is a clear and secret revealing that he wants to go to the test again, but now there is less at home. Li Changfeng, there are so many children, and Li Xiaoer is at the age of marriage, how can I use the extra money to pay for this "aspirational" Li San!

Especially the old lady's daughter-in-law was even more unhappy. He was quite venomous towards the youngest family, but he didn't think that the old man wanted to eat plain rice without a cheek! Of course, he could only compose a few words in his heart, and didn't dare to say it.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Li Lao San’s little brother had a quarrel with Li Lao Da’s little elder brother. The younger brother was older and knew to let each other out. As a result, the more let it go, the more Li Lao San’s little brother fought. Work hard, no, the child didn't know the severity, grabbed a stone and threw it at the other party, and scratched the corner of the little elder brother's eyebrows.

This is not bad. After a little bit of time, it will be the eyes, and the eldest brother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to quarrel, "As a result, the third brother quarreled with the eldest brother," Li Xiaoer paused, "the third brother also said that the eldest brother’s child I'm not clever, what's wrong, also..." What was said later was so outrageous that Li Xiaoer couldn't say it.

"This is really..." Xu Qing simply didn't know what words to use to describe this old man Li. No matter what, he was his nephew. How could he say this, or a scholar.

Li Xiaoer saw that Li Changfeng was still expressionless, and he was a little bit unsure of what he was thinking. When he was about to ask Xu Qing for help, Li Changfeng said, "Don't worry about this. Father, why would he have any opinions? Let's go first."

"Three brothers..."

Little brother Li never expected that Li Changfeng would go home directly after hearing this. He originally thought that if the second brother came back and heard about this, he would stay. Li Changfeng didn’t need to guess and knew what Li Xiaoer thought, "I’m just What can you do if you stay? You have to understand that I don’t have the kind of eldest brother and third brother in this family. I have my own family, a family that belongs to me and your second brother completely."

Xu Qing didn't interrupt. Li Changfeng could speak up on this matter, and it would make no sense for him to say more.

Li Xiaoer 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 at what I do? Huh?"

Li Changfeng and the others drove back. On the way, Li Changfeng felt Xu Qing's gaze looking at him. Xu Qing was not embarrassed when he was caught. Instead, he asked directly, "You don't like to worry about things over there. "

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

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows and pointed at the back of Li Changfeng's head: "The married wife, this day is not small, can you leave soon?"

Li Changfeng looked at the rising sun, "You're pregnant, you can't run too fast, it's still early in the afternoon, afraid of getting tanned? Come on, take my clothes and cover it for a while." Driving the donkey cart with one hand and pulling the clothes with the other, Xu Qing quickly stopped him, "It's all right! I can still stop it in a while, don't do such a thing!" Men are not, just afraid of heatstroke.

In the days that followed, Xu Qing and the others were both happy and sad. The happy thing is that almost every day people come to ask for the "wooden doll image" to be carved on site, and most of them are nanmu, which is available every day. Income! Even if you don’t do crops, you can eat meat every day! Don't want to make the villagers jealous.

The happy thing is about Xu Qing and Li Changfeng. This worry is not about Xu Qing's family. The whole village, town, or the people are all worried. That is the day, it has been five or six. It hasn't rained anymore.

The children in the hot village have all gone into the river to fight in the water, but the adult and the old man have a sad look on their faces. The crops in this field are just a good time to grow. At this time, the sun is always shining. Now, it will be dry after a long time. If this is dry, the life of the farmers will be sad.

Xu Qing hid in the room to take the cold. It was too hot and he would sweat even if he walked around. Li Changfeng went to the ground three or four times a day, either from the river to the field or into the vegetable soil. .

"Boom, boom, is Brother Qing at home? This is Xie Yu."

As soon as Xu Qing heard the knock on the door, before he got up, Xiao Bao rushed to the gate of the courtyard vigorously. It is also panicked these days. There are too many people at home asking for statues, and Xiao Bao also Not to relax because of this, Xu Qing scolded Xiaobao, and opened the hot courtyard door against the scorching sun on his head. Outside the door were Xie Yu and Lin Fangliang dressed in cool clothes.

"Come in, it's hot this day."

Xu Qing pulled Xie Yu and greeted Lin Fangliang to enter. When he was about to close the courtyard door, Li Changfeng came back, "Second Brother Li." Lin Fangliang and the two greeted Li Changfeng, and everyone went into the hall and sat down. People poured herbal tea, while Xu Qing's was warm boiled water.

Lin Fangliang drank a few sips of herbal tea to quench his thirst. The expression on his face was a little heavy, "The price of food in the town has risen." As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts sank. After a long time, Li Changfeng sighed. I hope that there will be some rain on this day." Otherwise, the grain will become more and more expensive, the crops will be harvested, there will be no grain to pay taxes, and there will be no money to buy grain, that day...

"Don't think about bad things so often, God's face is changing very quickly, who knows if it will rain tonight." Lin Fangliang felt that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and he immediately played haha, trying to relieve the heavy hearts of everyone.

Brother Xie shook his head, "I think we still have to make some plans. When we come back this time, we will discuss with Ama and the others whether we should go to the town to buy some food, or the harvest from the field is not big, at least we are now taking advantage of the food. The price of the house is not high yet, it is always right to buy some and save."

Xu Qing nodded. His mood became heavier with the continuous scorching sun. There was rice and meat in the space, but when he could take it out casually, he looked at Li Changfeng, how did he know Li Changfeng? I was also looking at him, "Buy, use our donkey cart and pull a few carts back. Not only do we have to buy tax and grain, but we also have to buy the grain we want to eat when we can harvest the crops next year!"

"Okay, let's go back and tell Ama about this matter. An hour later, we will meet at the end of the village!" Lin Fangliang and Xie Geer felt that Li Changfeng's idea was more long-term, so they immediately decided to go back to discuss the matter and meet later. .

After Lin Fangliang and the others left, Xu Qingbian and Li Changfeng returned to the room. Xu Qing took the opportunity to rummaged in the cabinet and took the opportunity to take out the box of their house money from the space, put the box on the bed, and after Xu Qing opened it , Looked at Li Changfeng, "Before we had one hundred and thirty-seven taels. These days, many of them come to carve dolls and make eighty-eight taels, a total of two hundred and twenty-five taels."

Li Changfeng took out fifty taels, closed the box and handed them to Xu Qing, "Fifty taels is enough." You must know that if there is no grain, you can use silver instead of grain to hand in. Of course, no one can see. Without blinking to take out so much, Li Changfeng would rather buy more than let Xu Qing and the child go hungry on days when there might be no harvest.
