The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter
Chapter 288 July and a half
As July comes, the weather gets hotter. It is said that the closer the day is, the more you should exercise. So even though the day is approaching, Chu Xiao will still go out to herd the cattle, but he has changed the time from mid-afternoon to early morning and evening.
In order to avoid being too hot during the day and getting heatstroke, it would be bad. After all, it is not good to take too many medicines at this time, and it would be very uncomfortable if you force yourself to take them.
Yan Zhenshen was watching him more and more closely. Now, wherever Chu Xiao went, he would be able to see that tall figure within a hundred steps.
The evening is not as hot as the daytime. The orange sunset is about to set, and pieces of fiery clouds hang on the edge of the sky, gorgeous and beautiful.
Luo Ge'er also came to cut grass with a basket on his back. When he saw Chu Xiao, he came over and talked to him.
Two days ago, someone in the village proposed a marriage to Brother Lin.
This time it is about a hunter from another village, a widower with three children, two sons and a little boy. The oldest is thirteen years old and the youngest is six years old.
Moreover, these three children were born to two mothers. One was married three times and the other was married three times. One is unlucky in marriage and the other is unlucky in husband. Others still think it is quite suitable.
Some people even said they wanted to see which of the two had a harder life and who would kill the other.
But I think he probably won't see it. Brother Lin is now raising Xiaobao by himself, and his life is much more comfortable than before. How could he be so desperate and jump into the fire pit again?
Although he doesn't have much money now, the crops will be ripe in more than a month, and he will then have enough money to buy some cotton to make new cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
He and Xiaobao won't have to suffer from the cold and hunger this winter and can take charge of their own lives.
It is completely different from taking care of the whole family, and having to please a man, who beats and scolds you when you are not happy with him.
Luo Ge'er actually agreed with Lin Ge'er's idea. For this woman, it was almost always her parents' orders for her to get married. If she had no children, she would not be allowed to live alone, and there would always be someone forcing her to remarry.
But now Lin Ge'er's situation is different from that of others. He already has a house and land, which have been judged by the county magistrate. Even if others want to rob them, they will not have the courage to do so.
Rather than living with someone of unknown character, it is better to live a peaceful life with my little treasure.
Although we shouldn't generalize, there are good men and good mothers-in-law, but Lin Ge'er is unlucky. In his first marriage, he had a wicked mother-in-law, and in his second marriage, he had a domestic violence husband.
However, everyone has different thoughts and circumstances. Although Luo Ge'er thought so, it was not easy for him to say it directly. After all, there was no man in the family, and it was indeed difficult for such heavy work to fall on the shoulders of a young man.
The autumn harvest will be here soon. If Brother Lin has to cut, carry, thresh and winnow all by himself, he will probably be exhausted to death.
"Then ask your Wang Wu and Brother Shen to help."
Luo Ge'er's eyes suddenly lit up. He had this intention, but if his Wang Wu went alone, he would inevitably be gossiped about by the villagers. After all, there were always some unnecessary gossips around this widow.
But then Luo Ge'er hesitated again: "Your family has planted a lot of land this year, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it yourself."
Chu Xiao thought about it and thought that it would be really busy during the autumn harvest, but it was not impossible. He could harvest the crops a few days earlier than others.
"We'll see then."
Chu Xiao hadn't been to the fields for some time. He always went to check on the condition of the rice. If it was growing well, no one would mind if he harvested it three or five days earlier.
But when I wandered into the field the next day, I found that although his seedlings were growing well, they had just entered the stage of heading and jointing.
There is no difference between the fields there and those of other people nearby, but Brother Lin started raising seedlings a few days earlier than others because he was afraid that he would be too busy.
Besides, he only had two acres of paddy fields. Instead of encouraging the birth of his own child, he might as well encourage Lin Ge'er's.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiao walked towards Lin Ge'er's paddy field.
He had seen Brother Lin working in the fields when he went to cut grass before, and he remembered the approximate location.
"Where are you going?"
Chu Xiao said he wanted to come and see the land, so Yan Zhenshen naturally wouldn't stop him. But after looking at his own land, why did he go somewhere else?
Chu Xiao casually plucked a newly emerged rice ear and said, "Luo Ge'er is worried that Lin Ge'er won't be able to harvest alone in the autumn, so I'll go to his field to ripen it three to five days in advance. Then I'll call two more people to finish the harvest for him in one day."
Yan Zhenshen couldn't say anything against it. Everyone knew Lin Ge'er's situation, so he would help if he could.
Doing it three or five days in advance doesn’t actually require much mental energy, it’s just a quick and easy thing.
Afraid that it would be too sudden for Brother Lin's family to harvest the crops early, he also harvested the two nearby plots of land that had already begun to ear.
Chu Xiao wiped the sweat off his head, and Yan Zhenshen immediately came over to help him: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
How could Chu Xiao feel uncomfortable? It's just that the sun is a little strong and it's really hot.
He pushed Yan Zhenshen who was holding him: "I'm hot enough, don't come close to me."
Yan Zhenshen has been rejected several times, and even his husband doesn't care about kissing or touching him at night. He wishes he could stay as far away from him as possible.
He couldn't help but sigh. Winter is still the best season. Not only does her husband not despise her, he will also take the initiative to snuggle into his arms.
The Yan family was looking forward to it, and before they knew it, it was the Mid-July Festival.
The gates of hell open on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. On this day, every household goes to worship their ancestors. Chu Xiao is not convenient now, so Yan Zhenshen has to do the job of visiting the graves on his behalf.
The whole family was worried that day, fearing that Chu Xiao would suddenly have an attack.
It has been said since ancient times that July is the ghost month. If a child is born on the 15th day of July, he will be called a ghost baby.
The old people say that children born on this day have heavy yin energy, weak body, cold limbs, and evil bones that are easily attracted by ghosts, and will bring disaster to those around them.
In some superstitious families, most babies born on this day are drowned, and they tell others that the babies are dead.
The older people in the village are all aware of this kind of thing, but who wouldn't find it unlucky? Some even think it's better to die, lest they give birth to a ghost baby that would bring misfortune to the whole village.
Yan Zhenshen went to visit the grave that day, thinking of her husband. The words on the grave did not show any sincerity, so she burned some paper and hurried home.
He was also afraid of bringing the negative energy from the cemetery into the house, so he asked his mother to fumigate him with mugwort before entering the house.
Chu Xiao saw smoke rising from the door of the courtyard. He came out to take a look and saw that his brother Shen was choking and coughing.
Zhao Guizhi still felt it was not enough, so she burned another handful, making Chu Xiao laugh so hard that his stomach hurt.
The pain frightened Zhao Guizhi and Yan Zhenshen, "How does it hurt?"
"I got a stitch in the side."
Zhao Guizhi didn't let go of the things that Yan Zhennan brought back. She put a jade stone under her pillow, a peace amulet under the quilt, and a peach wood sword at the door. As a last thought, she also put the runes she brought back under the bamboo mat in the west room.
As for the last remaining chicken blood vine bracelet, he asked Chu Xiao to wear it on his wrist.
He even clasped his hands together and prayed to his ancestors for blessings, asking them to help him get through this day.
