Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

The village head chose another empty house for the five people to sleep in at night.

There were cries everywhere in the west room of the Cui family.

Xiao Qi felt very aggrieved: "I didn't steal the eggs. I didn't steal the eggs."

Li Dong was so angry that she kept wiping away tears: "I took a look before going to bed last night, and all five eggs were in the cabinet. Now all of them are gone, and you still say you didn't steal them."

"It's not me, I didn't eat it!"

"I heard you sneak out last night. If it wasn't for your food, what were you doing out there?"

"I couldn't hold it in and went to the toilet, not to steal eggs."

Erlang stopped Lidong and said, "Well, if it's gone, it's gone. Even if Xiaoqi ate it, it wouldn't be considered a waste."

Li Dong said angrily: "This is for your health. If he eats it all, what will you do?"

"I'm fine now. It's okay not to eat eggs."

Between siblings, even if Xiaoqi explicitly said he wanted to eat, he would give him food.

Silang was also a little angry. Lidong was right. It was okay for Xiaoqi to be greedy normally, but now that his second brother was injured, it was really inappropriate for Xiaoqi to eat all the eggs.

But the egg couldn't be vomited out after being eaten, and Xiaoqi was only four years old, so the matter had to be left unresolved.

Xiaoqi cried and protested his injustice, but no one paid any attention to him.

Erlang asked his superior and his third aunt separately, and they said nothing was lost. Lidong cried for a while, but he could only let it go.

Near noon, Zhu Lizheng knocked on Cui's door, and Old Man Cui invited him to the upper room.

The two brothers were very nervous, their faces were dark red, and they kept wiping the sweat from their hands.

Old Man Cui looked at the hands of the two men. Their fingers were thick and strong, and their palms were covered with thick calluses. Only people who worked in the fields every day could have such hands.

He asked some common sense about farming and nodded to Lin.

He is a very honest farmer.

Since Old Man Cui approved of the person, Lin did not hesitate and decided on the Li brothers.

The Li brothers cried with joy and knelt down to kowtow to the Cui family.

Old man Cui quickly stopped them. He said that their family was just an ordinary farmer who worked in the fields for a living and could not afford this.

The Li brothers already had farm tools, so Lin didn't need to prepare any. Lin asked them to turn over the land first, and they could decide for themselves what to plant.

Li Dagang thought for a moment and said, "Now is the perfect time to plant soybeans. We can harvest them in winter, grow them over the winter, and then plant wheat in the early spring of next year."

Lin had no objection: "Then plant it as you said. I will prepare the soybean seeds. You can turn the land over the next few days and come to me for the seeds after you're done."

The Li brothers happily agreed and without staying a moment longer, hurried back to Liushu Village.

Soybeans have a short harvest period of three months. With these 40% of grain, we can survive the winter.

The Li brothers couldn't wait to go back to work. The sooner they planted, the sooner they could have food to eat.

This morning, the greatest pleasure for the villagers was to go to the east and watch five people working.

Someone tied them up with ropes that looked like shackles, which not only did not affect their walking and working, but also prevented them from escaping.

In fact, they can't escape even if they are not tied with ropes.

Because there were so many people watching nearby, even the children digging wild vegetables stayed nearby to dig.

Lin went back to the house to cook.

Old Mrs. Cui couldn't help but mutter: "Other families take 70%, why did the third daughter-in-law only take 60%, what a loss she must have."

Old Man Cui said impatiently: "What did I tell you? The third daughter-in-law has her own ideas. We should not interfere in things that are not our business."

"I'm just worried that she doesn't understand. One percent is the harvest of one acre and two mu of land. How can you just give it to her so easily?"

Old Lady Cui suddenly thought of something and grabbed his arm: "Did someone in Liushu Village say something? I said that the people in Liushu Village are all bad. Seeing that the third daughter-in-law doesn't know how to bully her."

Old man Cui shook off her hand: "Then ask her yourself. Okay, hurry up and cook. After dinner, take a nap and then get up to go back to work."

Old Mrs. Cui curled her lips and refused to ask.

Suddenly, Cui Chengliang came in excitedly from outside.

"Dad, what's different about this bowl?"

When he went out in the morning, he took a special look at it. The bowl was not completely dry yet, and he could see obvious signs of filling.

He had just returned from the fields. After a morning of drying in the sun, the traces of filling were so faint that they were almost invisible, blending seamlessly into the bowl.

"What's the difference? It's just a bowl."

Cui Chengliang excitedly pointed at the filled area and said, "Here, Dad, take a closer look."

Old Man Cui squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see any difference, so Old Lady Cui took it away.

"Your father's eyesight is not good, I can help you."

Mrs. Cui leaned in to take a closer look and said uncertainly, "Is the color a little lighter here?"

Cui Chengliang nodded continuously.

"There was a crack here, and I filled it up."

He originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect it to be so successful. He is so excited now.

Old Mrs. Cui blurted out: "What did you use to fill it? Did it cost money?"

Old Man Cui glared at her fiercely, and Old Lady Cui shut up in embarrassment.

"This bowl is well mended. If it's not too much trouble, I can mend all the broken bowls and sell them as good ones."

"No trouble, it's very simple."

After saying that, he brought over the chipped ceramic basin and demonstrated the steps from last night.

“Once it’s completely dry, it won’t be visible at all.”

The gum is very sticky and sticks tightly to the pottery basin.

Old Man Cui was amazed as he pinched the gum. "This thing can be used like this. It's a good thing. Have you told your wife about this?"

This title made Cui Chengliang feel a little awkward.

"not yet."

"It's no use for your mother and I to agree on this matter. You have to discuss it with your wife."

Cui Chengliang thought about it, stood up and decided to talk to Lin.

Old Mrs. Cui followed him quietly and told him in a low voice about the division of the land.

"...I'm just worried that she'll get hurt. There aren't any good people in Willow Village. You should talk to her later, but don't let her fool you."

Cui Chengliang said something perfunctory and left.

Xiaoqi kept muttering that he didn't steal the eggs. Lidong didn't want to argue anymore and hid in the east room.

When Lin was washing dishes, she sat beside her with red eyes, not saying anything about what happened, like a puffed-up little white rabbit.

Cui Zhaozhao didn't know how to comfort her, so she simply took out a few bundles of thread and let Lidong hold her while she wound the thread.

Shiro couldn't persuade her, so he sat beside her with a sigh.

When Cui Chengliang came in, he saw a row of people sitting against the wall.

"Third uncle, why are you here?"

Cui Chengliang glanced at Lin and said, "I came to talk to your third aunt about something."

Lin knew that he was not the kind of person who would stir up trouble, so she immediately looked for a stool for him to sit down and talk. After looking around, she found that all the stools in the corner were used.

Cui Chengliang waved his hand, took out the repaired pottery bowl, and said casually: "I tried to repair it, you see how it works."

Lin took the bowl in surprise. She knew there was a skill in mending bowls, but she didn't expect that he could do it.

It is still an ordinary pottery bowl. If you look closely, you can see that there is a piece that is lighter in color. However, it is surprising that it has been repaired to this extent.

"Your craftsmanship is really good. I didn't expect it could be repaired this way."

This was completely beyond Lin's expectations.

In this case, the price can be increased slightly.
