The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

When the busy spring season arrived, Yan Zhenshen and Yan Zhennan each led a cow to plow the fields. The calf was less than two years old and could not work all the time. Compared to a cow that could only rest for a while when it was tired, the calf would work for half an hour and rest for half an hour.

But even so, the villagers were envious. There were at least a dozen cows in the village, which was not a small number compared to other villages.

In addition, some families can save money and buy mules to plow the land, but the majority of families still do not have livestock.

Now that the Yan family has two cows in the fields, someone came and asked if they could borrow the cows after plowing the fields.

It is common to borrow cows in the village. People pay a few dozen coins a day and feed the cows two meals of good fodder. However, they will not borrow the cows until the work on other people's fields is done.

If you plow the land late, the seeds will be planted a few days later than others.

In Anning Village, rice usually takes four months to mature. If it is planted late, there is a fear that frost will come too early, so farmers must race against time.

Those families who don't have cows but are hardworking have already started plowing the land half a month ago. Most of those who can come to borrow cows are those who have some spare money and are unwilling to put in the hard work.

This is normal. Plowing the soil is hard work. It is definitely worth it to save a lot of effort by spending a few dozen cents.

Yan Zhenshen did not refuse when his fellow villagers asked to borrow his cow. He came over and said hello and agreed.

In fact, there were still many people who wanted to borrow it, but seeing that there were already three or four people in front asking, they didn’t go over. After all, it would take several days to queue up one by one, so it would be better to borrow from other houses.

Brother Lin had no oxen to use for spring plowing, and even as a young boy he couldn't hold the plow properly, so he started turning the soil early.

When Chu Xiao and Yan Sanmei were picking wild vegetables, they saw it and pulled him to go with them to pick wild vegetables so that they could sell them in the county town. Although the wild vegetables could not be sold at a high price at that time, Yan Sanmei inexplicably became interested in making money.

She even did some calculations with Chu Xiao. She could earn thirty or forty cents for picking thirty bunches of wild vegetables a day, but only three cents for cutting two baskets of grass. Instead of cutting grass, she might as well dig wild vegetables and sell them in the county town.

If you don't want to walk, you can take a bullock cart back and forth, and buy yourself some sesame seed buns and meat buns, and you can still have more than 20 cents left.

Chu Xiao felt that what she said made sense, but it was not good for a girl like her to go to the county town every day. She happened to see Brother Lin, so they could make money together.

As for Brother Lin's land, it would take at least seven or eight days for a young man to turn it over. It happened that the calf at home needed some experience, but he was reluctant to lend the calf out as it was still young. However, Brother Lin's land was small, so even if the calf was useless, one day of work would be enough.

Yan Sanmei and Lin Ge'er went to the county town to sell wild vegetables and made a good amount of money, earning thirty or forty cents every day. Yan Sanmei bought delicious food for Xiao Yu'er almost every day.

After eating too much of this delicious food, Zhao Guizhi fed the little guy goat milk and white porridge, but Xiao Yuer just shook his head and refused to eat. He pointed at the cakes on the table with his little finger and started patting his fat legs: "Eat, eat."

The picky eater really worried Zhao Guizhi, and she scolded Yan Sanmei. Finally, she had no choice but to add sugar to the goat milk and feed it to him. While feeding him, she kept saying, "Too much sugar will ruin his teeth. It's your fault if Xiaoyu'er's teeth don't grow well in the future."

Realizing that children should not eat too much sweet, Yan Sanmei started bringing meat buns to Xiao Yuer when she came back. It can be said that the child has a good appetite and can stuff half of the bun into his little belly.

But Zhao Guizhi felt that Xiaoyuer was already quite fat. Normally, his food did not contain much oil or fat. He suddenly ate more and started to have diarrhea in the middle of the night.

Yan Sanmei couldn't avoid being scolded again. The little girl felt aggrieved. Fortunately, Xiaoyuer only cared about eating and would stick to her aunt even when she was not feeling well, which comforted Yan Sanmei.

After this lesson, Yan Sanmei became very well-behaved for a while. She no longer dared to feed Xiaoyuer casually. Instead, she became keen on dressing up the little guy, and tied all kinds of silk flowers on Xiaoyuer's hair, which was not very long to begin with.

When Chu Xiao went to the fields to bring water to Yan Zhenshen and Yan Zhennan that day, he saw the little guy with red and green hair on his head, which looked very funny.

But the little guy was unaware of this, and was still shaking his head happily, touching his head with his little hands every once in a while.

Chu Xiao was afraid that he would pull her hair down and she would start crying, but the little thing touched her a few times without pulling and continued to shake its head beautifully.

Chu Xiao: “…” I really didn’t realize that his little Yu’er is such a conceited person.

After plowing the land at home, it needs to be irrigated. Zhao Guizhi wants to plant some grains, corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts and the like in the dry land at home, but there is no rush. She can just grow the seedlings in the paddy field first and then do it.

There was no work needed for Chu Xiao and Yan Sanmei at home, so they brought their calves to help Lin Ge'er plow the fields. Although it took some effort to lift the plow, it would definitely not be enough for a young man to do it for a whole day.

But the three of them took turns working, chatting and laughing, and they didn't feel tired. Lin Ge'er and Yan Sanmei went to the county town together for nearly ten days. Although there was an age difference between them, they got along well.

Speaking of selling vegetables in the county town, Brother Lin smiled and said, "There was a young man who came here for several days to buy wild vegetables. He picked and chose for a long time, but what he finally took away was actually the bundles that were pressed down at the bottom. We were planning to sell them cheaply."

"Is it because he has never bought vegetables or is he doing it on purpose?" As soon as Chu Xiao heard this, a long sentence appeared in the young master's mind.

He studied at Gudao Academy and became a scholar. He passed the imperial examination in three years.

Yan Sanmei didn't expect Brother Lin to mention this. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Chu Xiao's expression. "It's the guy named He, but I haven't talked to him."

Brother Lin already thought that the young master was quite peculiar, and when he looked at Chu Xiao and Yan Sanmei, it was clear to him that there was nothing he didn't understand.

"That's true. After all, my third sister is still an unmarried girl. I'm the one who greets all the men who come to buy groceries."

Chu Xiao didn't care much about it. Family is family, but you have to deal with your partner yourself. Yan Sanmei is not young anymore. If she has someone she likes, it would be good to spend two or three years together to get to know her better.

After all, you can't judge a person by his appearance, and it would be bad if a young girl was deceived.

"Just tell us if you like someone. Let your second brother find out about his character first. This He is from the Ancient Dao Academy, so Qingyun and Xiaobei might know him. I'll ask for you another day."

Yan Sanmei's face instantly turned red, and she stamped her feet in anger: "Brother Xiao, Mo Yan, don't talk nonsense. I didn't say I liked him."

Chu Xiao said "Oh" and said, "If you don't like her, forget it. You are still young anyway, so you can wait another three or four years to see her."

How could Yan Sanmei, a girl, feel comfortable saying these things? Her face turned red and she said nothing. She didn't want to talk to Brother Xiao. She couldn't win the argument anyway and would be teased by him.

But Qing Ge'er chuckled: "Third sister, don't listen to Xiao Ge'er, he wants to keep you as an old maid."
