Chapter 44
With fewer people, Cheng Langyu took the medicine for the last course of treatment.
It was cheaper this time, but not much cheaper.
"One tael of silver." Ye Liandong felt distressed.
There are fewer silver lumps in the grass nest.
"It's the last time. I'll give it to Fu Lang when I finish my work at home." Cheng Langyu hugged him, and let the two little ones come forward as usual.
This year, the beginning of spring in June and September, the year should be better.
Ye Liandong and the others wanted to get things done in the field as early as possible, so this time they came to the town to buy back the rice noodles, vegetable seedlings, and seasonings they had bought.
There are a lot of things, and I have to rent an ox cart when I go back.
When I came out this trip, I only spent one or two taels of silver on hand.
The things were piled into the cart, and Cheng Langyu bought three more strings of candied haws, except for himself, who had one.
Ye Liandong tasted it, and her heart was both sour and sweet.
On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, it rains.
The spring rain is like silk, pulling out the vitality in the ground.
Ye Lonicera was in the corner of the backyard, sprinkled the remaining spinach seeds, and ordered a row of early spring cowpeas and spring green beans.
Finally, plant the cabbage seedlings bought on the side of the pigsty and get some green onions.
One piece of land, no more gaps.
The spring rain is falling, even if you hold an umbrella, you will inevitably fall on your body.
When Cheng Langyu found it, Ye Rendong had already dropped a lot of white crystals on her head.
The misty rain was hazy, and the faces of people on the vegetable field were half covered by oiled paper umbrellas.His fingertips were wet, pale with coolness.
Cheng Langyu said: "Fu Lang, are you done?"
"Master!" Ye Rendong was startled.
He came to the backyard avoiding men.I thought they were all growing crops, how could they be so delicate.
But seeing Cheng Langyu now, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
However, the good news is that it is done.
Ye Rendong walked slowly to the side of the man, and handed the umbrella over his head. "Why don't you open an umbrella?"
Even though he said that, he didn't notice that his long hair and face were covered with fine drops of water.
Cheng Langyu held the hand on his umbrella handle, squeezed his sleeve and gently wiped his face.
"It's raining outside, so it's not too late to plant tomorrow." Cheng Langyu said slowly.
Ye Liandong's red lips hooked lightly: "It will rain for a few days in the spring."
Wouldn't the vegetable seedlings bought back be bought for nothing?
Seeing that the man was showing signs of anger, Ye Liandong tiptoed and said with a flattering smile: "My husband is not angry."
Cheng Langyu led the man straight back to the house, and said, "Don't be angry, the medicine is ready, Fu Lang will drink a bowl first."
Ye Rendong's face instantly collapsed.
He knew that Xianggong would definitely "clean up" himself.
When they got to the kitchen, Ye Liandong was pressed by the stove to warm up.
The fire in the stove in the corner has been extinguished, but the strong smell of medicine is even worse.
The two children were not here, probably because they couldn't bear the smell and played in other rooms.
"Sir." Ye Liandong said anxiously seeing the man approaching the medicine jar.
I used to drink medicine after meals, but I haven't had lunch yet.
Cheng Langyu held the bowl and squatted down in front of Ye Liandong. "Fu Lang, let's drink."
Ye Liandong leaned back and begged for mercy decisively: "Sir, I was wrong."
Cheng Langyu supported his back, sighed softly: "Doctor Lu said to drink before meals."
Ye Rendong: "Really?"
Cheng Langyu was helpless: "Will I lie to you?"
Only then did Ye Liandong realize that Xianggong didn't do it on purpose.
He wrinkled his nose, grabbed the man's wrist and tentatively said, "I drank it."
"Hmm." Cheng Langyu's hand remained motionless.
Ye Liandong bulged her cheeks and hurriedly finished drinking, coughing from choking.
Cheng Langyu put down the bowl, surrounded the people and patted their backs. "Drink slowly, I won't fight with you."
Ye Liandong laughed bitterly, with his mouth slightly open and his brows furrowed.
Cheng Langyu leaned closer and heard: "Is it bitter?"
Ye Liandong lay in the man's arms: "Bitter!"
Cheng Langyu lowered his head and touched his lips lightly.
Ye Liandong only heard the sentence "I'll try it", and was disturbed.
A quarter of an hour later, the root of Ye Liandong's tongue ached, but the bitter taste in his mouth was gone.
Limp in his husband's arms confidently, Ye Liandong waited for the lunch in the pot to be ready.
In the afternoon, the drizzle did not stop.
Ye Liandong couldn't go out, so he just collected some clothes at home and washed them with hot water.
Cheng Langyu, on the other hand, took his coir raincoat and went to the village to borrow oxen to plow the fields.
Fog gradually rose from the foot of the mountain, and it was getting dark early.
In the dead of night, humming sounds came from the couple's room, which was covered by the sound of rain in an instant.
The voice stopped, Ye Rendong leaned softly against the man, holding his hand on her stomach.
The red eyes are flowing, but they can't hide the worry.
"Master." Ye Liandong said.
Cheng Langyu embraced the man, and said with the tip of his nose against his neck. "Wait until you recuperate, okay?"
Ye Rendong thought about what Dr. Lu said when he was in the clinic today.
Because I didn't have a good childbirth when I was a child, even if I am recuperating now, it is not suitable to have a doll now.
If there is an eventuality, there will be two deaths to a large extent.
Ye Liandong slowly closed her eyes, burying her head in the man's warm skin.
Just wait a little longer, wait until Xianggong thinks it's time to ask for it.
It rained for three days.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the morning rooster crows.
Ye Liandong woke up from a deep sleep, the people beside him were leaning on him with half-closed eyes, hands kneading his waist.
Ye Liandong rolled around in the quilt a few times, stretching her limbs tensely.Just got up and made breakfast.
After the family finished eating, Cheng Langyu carried the hoe and led the scalper out of the house with a basket.
The Qin family's field is just beside the slope.
When Ye Rendong washed the dishes and went to the field, Cheng Langyu had already started plowing the field.
The old scalper stopped and mooed from time to time, but he never pulled Ye Liandong to look at Cheng Langyu's eyes.
The clothes on Cheng Langyu's body were stained with mud, and the gentle bookishness faded, and he looked like a farmer.
Ye Rendong smiled, he likes everything about Xianggong.
In the field, apart from Cheng Langyu's family, other people can be seen from a distance.
Ye Rendong saw that other people also had brothers working in the field, so he wanted to tie up his trousers and took off his shoes to go down.
Cheng Langyu had sharp eyes and said straightly: "Fu Lang, I haven't finished the medicine yet."
Ye Rendong had no choice but to stay at the edge of the field like Cheng Shao and the others.
As the old cow walked by, the old mud was refurbished.The loach eel hiding in the mud flicked its tail and kept hiding.
Ye Liandong's eyes are bright: what a dish!
But watching the fat loach return to the field, Ye Rendong felt heartbroken.
Cheng Langyu drove the cattle to the edge of the field. Seeing him like this, with a handsome face covered in mud, he smiled and said, "Greedy cat."
"I'll grab it for you, and put it in the back basket."
Cheng Langyu pointed to the pannier tied to the handle of the plow rake.
Ye Rendong stood on tiptoe and took a look.Turning around and smirking: "Hey."
Cheng Baoer squatted by the field, small and invisible.On the other hand, Cheng Shao had sharp eyesight and quick hands, he suddenly reached out, caught a rice field eel and threw it on the bank.
"Wow!" Cheng Baoer cheered.
The eel is slippery and wants to drill back into the field.Seeing that he was about to run away, Cheng Baoer stepped on it and stepped on its head.
The eel flicked its tail frantically.
Cheng Baoer excitedly said: "Aww! Brother catch!"
Ye Rendong hastily blocked the two of them: "Don't fall."
He looked at Cheng Langyu's back basket, and said to the two children, "It's right here, don't run around."
"Sister-in-law, where are you going?" Cheng Shao asked.
"I'll go back and get the barrel and fill it for you."
"Sister-in-law, hurry up." Cheng Bao'er said with her hips on her hips and her calf sideways.
"it is good."
The mountain village was originally quiet, but when Ye Liandong went out with the bucket, he suddenly heard a sharp and ear-piercing cry.
Worried that something might happen, Ye Liandong walked and ran away.
After the rain, there are more people busy with farming.Workers can be seen from far away.
When Ye Liandong rushed to the slope, the two children looked further away with their necks stretched like groundhogs spying on the enemy.
And my husband, just like the old scalper, kept silent and devoted himself to plowing the field.
Ye Liandong put down the bucket after fetching water from the field behind.
Seeing the man coming back, Cheng Bao'er grinned, grabbed the immobile eel and threw it in.
With a "plop", he fell into the water.
Ye Liandong looked for his reputation, and the bottom of the eel's head was already black and blue.
On the field ridge not far away, the scolding continued.
Ye Liandong looked.
A woman was leading a child, and behind him stood a burly man, cursing at a man in rough cloth in a paddy field.
At this time, Cheng Shao turned around. "Sister-in-law, it's Miki."
"Miki?"
Cheng Langyu just ordered the cow to come over, his trousers were rolled up, and his legs were covered with mud.
He explained: "Sanmu Niang came back with the remarried man and wanted to take Sanmu away."
Ye Rendong: "You heard that."
Cheng Langyu pushed the sledge and walked slowly, humming.
Ye Liandong missed the beginning, now it is the woman who is holding Miki, and the man behind him is going to take her away.
But on the path, Zhang Xiaoya appeared again.
Before she arrived, she heard the sound of her bending.
"Ouch~ Our family has spent a lot of thought and food in raising Miki to such a large size."
"Poor my donkey, she lost a lot of weight, just to save more food for my younger brother."
Ye Rendong couldn't bear to look directly, turned around to look at the loach that Cheng Langyu had turned up in the field.
How can there be such a thick-skinned person, the whole village knows that she treated Miki harshly...
Cheng Shao was visibly angry, he stood up abruptly and wanted to speak for Miki, but Ye Rendong grabbed his collar.
"Sister-in-law, can I help Sanmu?" Cheng Shao begged.
Miki is his good friend now, and Aunt Zhang's words are obviously false, but Miki's mouth is stupid, so he won't say it!
Ye Liandong knelt down, circled the child and said: "That's Sanmu's mother, did you see, there is a strong stepfather behind his mother."
"Sanmu will definitely not be wronged." Ye Rendong said.
The two children in the family listened to Ye Rendong's words very much, upon hearing this, Cheng Shao retreated back to Mutong.
It's just that the eyes are still looking there.
"Sir."
Ye Rendong felt relieved, and while listening to the noise over there, he watched his husband sweating in the paddy field.
It didn't take long for Cheng Langyu to walk to Ye Rendong's side again: "Well, Fulang."
Cheng Langyu stood still, his eyes fixed on Ye Rendong.
Ye Liandong straightened up, held the man's face, and wiped off the mud on his face with her fingertips.
"Okay." Ye Rendong smiled lightly.
But after he finished speaking, the man's head still didn't move.
He lowered his eyelids, glanced at the hair of the two children, wrapped Ye Liandong's slender waist with one hand, and bit his lips.
Ye Liandong's cheeks were flushed, she smacked her lips when she saw the man, and went forward to drive the cattle seriously.
Ye Rendong held his face with both hands to reduce the heat.
Really... Xianggong is getting more and more sticky.
Cheng Shao watched Zhang Xiaoya being slapped on the ground by Miki's aunt, and turned his head with a smile. "Sister-in-law, Miki was not bullied."
Ye Liandong just caught a few words in his ears, it was nothing more than haystacks, no food to eat.
He thought for a while and said, "It should be Sanmuniang who came back to help Sanmu after she knew about Sanmu's affairs."
Cheng Shao nodded heavily and continued to watch.
Ye Rendong hugged his knees, staring at the paddy field in a daze.
Cheng Bao'er was the only one poking grass in the mud, like a little hen, making a loach with her little paws with meaty nests.
The two-acre field was plowed while weeds and gravel were cleared.
Ye Liandong saw that he had already plowed a large area on his side, while the paddy field below had just made a small corner.
"The one in the water field is Miki's father?" Ye Rendong asked.
Cheng Shao nodded and complained: "Sanmu's father doesn't like Sanmu at all."
Ye Liandong pouted her chin, it seemed that Gao Laosan was not only duplicity, but also pretended to work hard.
Dong Yan at the top kept scolding, but except for Zhang Xiaoya who was spitting, Gao Laosan ignored him.
It was suddenly quiet over there, Ye Rendong looked at it and didn't feel anything wrong.
But suddenly, there was a burst of sharper resentment. "If you want money, I will throw it in the cesspit for you and find it yourself!"
"Sister-in-law, what did they say?" Cheng Shao said.
Ye Rendong shook his head, but he didn't hear clearly.
But my husband's low voice said slowly, "If you want a son, even if you sell it, it's worth ten taels of silver."
"You can take it away, buy it with ten taels."
"Ah? Master?" Ye Rendong didn't react.
Cheng Langyu led the cattle out.Said: "The words of Gao Laosan."
Cheng Shao and Ye Rendong: "Oh."
Cheng Baoer: "Wow! Run away, big brother!"
Cheng Langyu stepped on the sole of his big foot and caught the third eel that Cheng Baoer almost missed.
But he forgot that the soles of his big feet were full of mud, and following the splash of water in the field, it landed on the mud spots covering the three of them on the bank.
Ye Liandong's fair face was blurred, he looked up blankly. "Sir."
Cheng Langyu's fingertips trembled, and he reached out to wipe it off, but his hands were covered in mud.
Pretending to be calm, he glanced at his husband's clothes.Sure enough, there was a big palm print on the back waist.
Unable to do anything, Cheng Langyu lowered his head and rubbed his face against it.At least some of the mud was wiped away.
Ye Rendong regained consciousness, touching Geng Hua's face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Sister-in-law, silly!"
Cheng Shao and Cheng Baoer looked at the newly changed clothes, and said, "Brother, stupid!"
Ye Rendong chuckled: "Alright, alright, let's go home and cook."
Cows are precious, and they cannot be tossed about all the time.
The family watched the shadows of the people over there fade away from a long distance away, and they didn't know if it was a deal.
After Cheng Langyu washed himself, he sat in the stove with his dirty clothes on and lit the fire.
Ye Liandong fed some grass to the cow, changed his clothes, and then came out to cook.
The other two children had little mud splashed on their bodies, and they didn't know who they were imitating, so they grabbed the cloth and wiped off the mud.
Ye Rendong took a look, and let it go without any problem.
And his own clothes blocked more than half of them, so he had to wash them.
At this time, it was the time when the vegetables were not harvested, and the vegetables in the house were gone.
I can only use the meat I bought last time to make a fat pot pork, then cut some sour radishes, and wrap it in steamed corn tortillas for a meal.
Cheng Langyu ate half of the pancake.
This tube is full, just suitable for people who work.
When I went back in the afternoon, the figure of Gao Laosan was gone, and I don't know if he took Miki with him.
The paddy fields are muddy and have not been planted for another year, and there are surprisingly many rice field eels and loaches in them.
Ye Rendong was busy at home in the afternoon, and only came to the paddy field once.Looking at my husband pulling his big feet out of the mud, I don't know why I think he is cute.
There is really no one here who needs help, Ye Liandong told the two children who were only looking for the rice field eel to go back and do their own work.
After the old scalper borrowed by Cheng Langyu was returned to others, the two wooden barrels at home were used to hold loach and eel.
After two days of exhaustion, I harvested a plowed field and two buckets of loach and eels.
If this thing is sold to a restaurant in the town, it will be valuable.
Ye Liandong couldn't help but think of her dried lily, which weighed no more than three catties, and was disturbed by Ayu the last time she went to town, so she forgot to take it with her.
Remember next time.
It took less than three days to plow the two acres of fertile land twice.
This is considered to have cleaned up all the land in the house.
In the next few days, it rained again.Cheng Langyu found a sunny day and planned to return the cattle.
After Ye Rendong knew about it, she also wanted to go.
My two wooden barrels are full of loach and eels, and I can't finish them at home, so I might as well send some to the ancestral house.
There are more people over there, so there is no waste.
