Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

In the cool evenings of early spring in March, the chirping of birds and the barking of dogs awaken the sleeping countryside village.

Voices of people could be heard one after another in the village, all rushing to finish their farm work in the fields before dawn, otherwise they would be sweating when the sun came up.

Chen Changjiang and Tan went to the fields early, and the two brothers also rushed to herd cattle for the wealthy family. They could earn a copper coin for half a day.

Qingzhu stayed at home, taking care of Qingning and taking care of the poultry at home.

After cooking breakfast and warming the steamed egg custard, he brought it into the house and asked, "Sister, are you awake?"

Qing Ning: "Wake up, sister."

"Eat this bowl of egg custard when you wake up." He put the bowl aside, put clothes on her and helped her sit up.

Seeing Qingzhu wanted to feed her, Qingning said, "Sister, I can eat by myself."

Qingzhu smiled, handed the bowl to her, and reminded her to be careful.

After Qing Ning finished eating the egg custard and cleared the bowl and spoon, Qing Zhu said, "Don't sleep after you finish eating. The weather is nice and windless today. Sister will help you get up and go to the yard to bask in the sun."

Qing Ning immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the yard and bask in the sun. I feel like I'm about to get moldy these days."

"You, stop talking nonsense. How can anyone get moldy?" Qingzhu helped her put on her clothes and helped her get out of bed.

As soon as I walked out of the main hall, a cool breeze blew towards me, which made me feel refreshed and my mind became much clearer.

Looking up and taking a closer look, this small courtyard is simple and clean.

There is a peach tree beside the fence, blooming beautifully, and the spring breeze brings the fragrance of the tree.

There is a jujube tree planted on the other side. It is just at the time when green buds are sprouting and the tree looks very lively.

Qingzhu moved a bamboo chair to a sheltered place under the eaves, and then covered it with a thin quilt before letting her sit on it.

"Sister, look, the peach blossoms are blooming, they smell so good." He closed his eyes and sniffed carefully.

Suddenly I wanted to eat peaches, and the bland taste in my mouth disappeared.

"Yes, you sit here and bask in the sun for a while. I'll go do my work." As she said this, she covered her with the remaining part of the quilt and tucked the edges in tightly.

He turned around and went to clean the yard, sweep the place, chop up the grass he had picked up yesterday, and feed it to the chickens and ducks.

Qing Ning sat and looked at everything in front of her, which made her feel a little more real. The countryside was comfortable, the farmers were hardworking, and the families were friendly.

Although the environment is a bit worse, it is beautiful in nature, with a pure blue sky and lush green fields.

The faint fragrance of the earth brings with it the beauty of spring. The air is bustling with the chirping of birds, the barking of dogs, and the voices of people.

The sun rose and shone on people, making them feel warm. The limes were baked by the sun, making them feel drowsy.

"Are you tired, little sister? If you want to sleep, let's go back to the room, otherwise it will be bad if you catch a cold again." Qingzhu came over at some point and asked with concern when he saw her closing her eyes.

"It's okay, second sister. I'll sit for a while. The room is too stuffy."

"Okay, if you want to sleep, go inside and sleep. I'll go to the field to call father and others to come back for breakfast." After saying that, he walked out of the yard and ran to the field.

Soon the family members came back one after another. As soon as they entered the yard, Tan saw Qingning sitting under the eaves basking in the sun, and hurried forward a few steps.

"Child, are you feeling the wind blowing on you while you're sitting here? This spring wind is not easy to deal with. Go back to the house after a while." As he said this, he wrapped the quilt tighter.

Chen Changjiang put the farm tools away, filled a basin with water to wash his hands, and rubbed them on his body a few times.

She said to Mrs. Tan, "The child has been sick these past few days and has been feeling suffocated staying indoors. Today the weather is nice and there's not much wind. Let her come out for some fresh air and some sunshine to get rid of the illness. It'll be fine."

Qingzhu hurriedly brought out breakfast, placed it on the small table in the yard, and invited the two to eat.

Qing Ning tilted her head to take a look. This breakfast was actually a brown rice soup that was as thin as it could be. If the brown rice in it was not darker in color, she would not be able to tell what it was. Paired with a plate of homemade pickles, this was a meal.

As soon as the three of them sat down, they heard the laughter of their two brothers coming from the outer courtyard.

"Father, Mother, we are back. I am almost starving to death." Qingyu heard the voice before he even arrived.

Qingzhu smiled and said, "Go wash your hands and come over to eat."

After entering the yard, the two went to wash their hands. Seeing Qingning lying there, they smiled and said a few words to her, then sat down to eat.

"Erlang and Silang, after dinner, go to the mountain with Dalang and Sanlang to collect firewood. Keep the good ones and carry them back to the town tomorrow." Tan gave instructions to her two sons while eating.

Qingwu and Qingyu responded immediately.

Chen Changjiang finished the porridge in his bowl in a few mouthfuls and said to Tan: "Go and help your sister-in-law finish the work in the fields. I can handle my own fields by myself."

"Oh, I see."

After a few mouthfuls, the bowl was empty. They put down their bowls and chopsticks and went about their business. Before leaving, they gave the two sisters a few words of advice.

Qing Ning was suddenly overwhelmed with grief when she saw the scene in front of her. One could imagine the blow this must have brought to her parents in that life. How could they bear the pain of losing their daughter?

She was the only daughter in the family, so what would happen to the rest of their lives? Was she dead or alive? Why was she like this?

The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. He couldn't bear to see Qingzhu and worry about her, so he had to prop himself up and go back into the house, saying that he was tired and wanted to sleep for a while.
