The Little Widower (farming)

59

Time flies by so fast, it will be July and a half in two days.

Half of July is the day for sacrifices. Zhou Yuan and Chen Qing went to the town to buy paper money on the morning of July 14th.

They first went to worship the Meng family's father with Aunt Sun, and then went to Meng Tao. After that, Aunt Sun went down the mountain first, and Zhou Yuan took Chen Qing to his grandmother's grave.

Zhou Yuan was cleaning the debris around, while Chen Qing knelt in front of the grave and lit incense.

He thought about what he wanted to say to his grandmother before going up the mountain, but he forgot everything after going up the mountain. All he could recall was the old man's thin hands, but they were very warm.

"Grandma, I'm getting married. It's the husband you chose for me." After Zhou Yuan finished cleaning up, he knelt next to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing smiled: "Grandma, do you still remember me?"

Zhou Yuan held his hand: "Grandma, we will be fine. You can rest assured."

After watching the last trace of the paper money burn out, Zhou Yuan Chen Qing helped him up: "Let's go home."

Zhou Yuan carried him on his back and walked steadily step by step while going down the mountain.

"Let's pick up Li Xin and the others in two days. I don't know if we can catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival." Zhou Yuan said.

"Safety on the road is the most important thing." Chen Qing lay on his back, "I won't go this time, right?"

Zhou Yuan thought for a while and agreed to him. Chen Qing was actually very tired from this trip. , he could find out that Chen Qing had actually lost a lot of weight by carrying him on his back, so he might as well let him cultivate himself at home.

"Okay."

On July 17, Zhou Yuan set out for Yunxi Town, this time taking Meng Qi with him.

On August 15th, their group failed to make it back, so Chen Qing and Aunt Sun spent the holiday together.

Chen Qing didn't feel uncomfortable at all. After all, he had been here in this way for the past few years. Before the festival, he even went to Li's house. Blacksmith Li was still forging iron in his shop. The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the iron molds in his shop were There are also many orders.

Niu Niu helped Chen Qing, and the two of them prepared a table of meals. Chen Qing also taught Niu Niu how to make cakes for several months. Seeing the sun setting, Chen Qing told Niu Niu to wait for his father at home before he left the Li family and went home.

When Tiejiang Li came back, the sun was setting. The last bit of sunlight in front of the house disappeared. Niu Niu saw his tall father at the door.

Li Tiejiang was holding a roast chicken in his hand. He was always in the shop during this period and paid too little attention to Niu Niu.

When Niu Niu saw him, he hugged his legs. Li Tiejiang picked him up. When he returned to the house, he saw the food on the table: "Did you cook it?"

Niu Niu shook his head: "Brother Chen Qing did it.

" Did you say thank you?" Li Tiejiang asked.

Niu Niu nodded: "I said thank you."

Li Tiejiang washed his hands, sat on the table with Niu Niu, pulled off two legs of the roast chicken in his hand, and put them into Niu Niu's bowl.

Niu Niu was very happy, smiled and said thank you dad.

Li Tiejiang wiped his hands and touched his hair: "Eat."

When Chen Qing returned home, Aunt Sun had already prepared a meal. With just the two of them, they didn't have to do so much, but life was obviously better. There were a lot of eggs, which she would only eat when she had something to do before. Now Aunt Sun steamed egg custard for him without frowning.

"After all, I lost a lot of weight after going out for a while." Aunt Sun picked up vegetables for him. She was tired from running around, but when she came back, she helped harvest corn. She lost a lot of weight and her clothes were too big.

Chen Qing glanced at himself and said, "I don't feel anything. Isn't this good?"

For some reason, Aunt Sun and Zhou Yuan both said that he was thin, since he was obviously the same as before.

"It's been so long and there's still no news about your belly?" After finishing her meal, Aunt Sun went to look at Chen Qing's belly.

Chen Qing couldn't swallow a mouthful of food and almost choked: "Mom!"

"We've been married for so long, aren't you ready to have children now?"

Chen Qing had never thought about this issue, and Zhou Yuan had not mentioned it either. It was only when Aunt Sun mentioned it today that he remembered that he still had children.

"I, I don't know what Zhou Yuan is thinking." Chen Qing touched his belly, "I should just let nature take its course."

"Well, it's time to think about it." Aunt Sun looked at him, "While it's I still have energy and can help you take care of the child."

Chen Qing's face turned red, but he still nodded: "I will discuss it with him when he comes back."

"Yes, life is about two people discussing it."

After eating with Aunt Sun, Chen Qing helped her wash the dishes, and then returned to his home. The round moon hung in the sky. Chen Qing missed Zhou Yuan.

At the end of August, Chen Qing expected Zhou Yuan to come back soon. During the day, he took Niu Niu and Niu Niu to graze. On the way back, he would always stand at the entrance of the village for a while, and then he and Niu Niu would go back to their respective homes.

On the third day of September, Chen Qing finally picked up Zhou Yuan at the entrance of the village.

He saw the carriage approaching the village from a distance. Chen Qing's heart beat rapidly and he stepped forward to greet it.

Zhou Yuan, who was driving the carriage, also saw Chen Qing standing at the entrance of the village. When he passed by, he lifted him into the carriage with one hand and sat on it. He did not suppress his emotions and kissed Chen Qing on the face.

Chen Qing was a little shy and pinched his palm gently. Then Chen Qing looked into the carriage. Zhang Yin and Li Xin looked at them with smiles.

"Aunt Yin, are you okay?"

Zhang Yin nodded: "I'm okay." After nearly two months of acupuncture and taking medicine, Zhang Yin's disease has been completely cured. Chen Qing has never seen anyone since he can remember. She looked so good, and even after riding in the carriage for so long, she didn't feel tired.

"Doctor Yu is really a miracle doctor." Li Xin also came over. "At the beginning, my mother was very weak. I was actually very worried. Unexpectedly, after taking medicine and acupuncture, my mother really got better day by day."

Chen Qing covered her heart: "That's good, that's good. Do you still need to take medicine?"

Li Xin nodded: "I need to take some more to strengthen my condition, and my mother will be like a normal person."

"That's great." Chen Qing was also sincerely happy and asked, "Isn't Qi Shuning back?"

"He will come back during the Chinese New Year." Li Xin said, "The dean of the academy suggested that he stay there for a while."

The carriage arrived soon. In the Li family's yard, Blacksmith Li didn't go out today. When he saw the carriage parked in his yard, he was immediately overjoyed. Regardless of the eyes of the junior next to him, he climbed onto the carriage and hugged Zhang Yin. He looked at it and then cried again. out.

Zhou Yuan squeezed Chen Qing's hand, said hello to Li Xin, and took Chen Qing back.

Chen Qing became more lively in front of Zhou Yuan and told him a lot about what happened at home when he was not at home.

"My mother and I have raised a few more chickens. They are all hens. They have started laying eggs recently."

"I have been herding cattle with Niu Niu every day these days. Niu Niu is so sensible."

No matter what Chen Qing said, Zhou Yuan Du answered him perfunctorily. Just as Chen Qing was about to frown and ask him, he realized that he was already home.

Zhou Yuan didn't even unload the car, he just parked it in the yard, then took Chen Qing out of the car with one hand, hurriedly locked the yard door and carried Chen Qing into the house.

Seeing Zhou Yuan start to peel off his clothes, Chen Qingcai's eyes widened. He grabbed Zhou Yuan's big hand and said in disbelief: "Zhou Yuan, it's still daytime."

The sun hung brightly in the sky, Zhou Yuan wanted to What he did was just a little too much.

Chen Qing covered his clothes and hid beside the bed.

Zhou Yuan held his hand and said in a low voice: "I just miss you."

Chen Qing's heart softened into a puddle of spring water in an instant. When listening to him speaking, he didn't know when Zhou Yuan had moved closer to him. around.

If you miss the first opportunity to escape, you will not be able to escape later.

The moment before Chen Qing lost consciousness, he thought that as the old saying goes, don't feel bad for a man.

When he woke up again, it was completely dark. The lights were lit in the room, and Zhou Yuan was squatting in the room to pack his luggage.

He seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. When Chen Qing made any movement, he immediately turned around. Under the flickering oil lamp, Chen Qing saw his big white teeth exposed and smiled very happily.

Chen Qing: ...

"I steamed egg custard for you." Zhou Yuan sat by the bed and helped Chen Qing up from the bed. In September, the weather was not so hot, and Chen Qing was covered with a thin blanket. , the blanket slipped down when he sat up, revealing bruises and bruises on his body.

Chen Qing's body was much whiter than the exposed areas, and it was easy to leave traces. Zhou Yuan felt his throat tightening again and looked away.

"Don't be so messy next time." Chen Qing said with some annoyance, "It's in broad daylight. It's not good to let others know."

"What do you care about others? What couple doesn't do this? I haven't seen you for so long. My husband, what's wrong with me?" Zhou Yuan didn't care.

Chen Qing's cheeks were red, he raised his hand and hit him lightly, and then asked: "Have you gone to see your mother when you came back today?"

Zhou Yuan nodded: "You went there after you fell asleep, and told your mother about your godmother." "My mother has to ask me to bring some eggs back."

Chen Qing smiled. In the past few years, he didn't feel that chickens laid eggs very quickly. This year, the egg basket was never empty. In the past, eating eggs depended on the day. You can only eat it during the New Year holidays, but now I want to be able to eat it.

Chen Qing thought of something, and then leaned on Zhou Yuan: "Mom asked me a few days ago when I would have a child."

Zhou Yuan was stunned. He had never thought about this question, so he asked Chen Qing "What about you, when do you want to have a child?"

Chen Qing shook his head: "I don't know, I'm a little scared and not ready."

Zhou Yuan knew what he was afraid of, although Chen Qing was already twenty-two years old. , but in Zhou Yuan's view, he is just like a child now, and he would probably be in a hurry to take care of the child now.

"We did that before and the children didn't come. It seems that we are too poor for the time being." Zhou Yuan said with a smile, "Let's just let nature take its course. How about it? He will come when he wants to."

Regarding the children, they Having reached an agreement, Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief before starting to eat egg custard.

After Chen Qing finished eating the egg custard, his waist was still very sore. After Zhou Yuan put the bowl back in the kitchen, he asked Chen Qing to lie down and pressed his waist. He just pressed his hands a little irregularly. He was already feeling dizzy from being pressed. Chen Qing, who was sleeping, immediately became alert and grabbed Zhou Yuan's mischievous hand.

Zhou Yuan took advantage of the situation and lay on top of him: "Look, it's already dark. You won't know if you are someone else now."

"No." Chen Qing was very determined. His waist was really broken by Zhou Yuan. .

Zhou Yuan rolled off Chen Qing's body and looked at him with his head propped up: "I haven't seen you for too long..."

Chen Qing moved his eyes away, not making the same mistake as he did in the afternoon.

"Aqing..."

Chen Qing covered his ears.

Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms: "Can you still sleep now? You slept all afternoon."

Chen Qing closed his eyes: "You can sleep."

"You just ate, let's eat. "Zhou Yuan persevered.

Chen Qing: ...

"Zhou Yuan, you are so annoying." Chen Qing leaned her forehead on his shoulder.

"I'm really happy." Zhou Yuan kissed his forehead, "Now when I go out, there are people waiting for me at home. Before, I only had my grandmother. After my grandmother passed away, I was alone. Ah Qing, it's great to have you. "

Chen Qing thought of the time when he and his grandmother depended on each other, and reminded himself that at least when he was young, he had the love and care from his father and little father.

Feeling Chen Qing's looseness, Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand tentatively, and when he unbuttoned Chen Qing's clothes, he did not refuse, so Zhou Yuan turned over, touched Chen Qing's lips, and said vaguely: "I know A Qing loves me......"

Chen Qing, who was forced to feel sorry for Zhou Yuan when he felt so sorry for Kuai Zi, became even more determined not to feel sorry for Zhou Yuan again!

If you feel sorry for a man, you can only suffer yourself!
