Chapter 83
Lin Yubei nodded, and strode out.

Then, carrying the bean seeds in one hand and the hoe in the other, he went to the dry land in the back mountain.

Although he looks idle all the year round, he knows how to farm.

After all, our ancestors have been farmers for generations, so how can we not have this most important skill!
It's just that growing beans is not so easy. You have to dig out a hole with a hoe, put five or six beans in it, cover it with a thin layer of soil, and then water it again.

Lin Yubei took the hoe and began to dig the soil. He was strong and quick at work.

Furthermore, the land was hoeed, and the soil holes were dug on each ridge with a hoe, and the dry land was divided into seven parts, and the digging was completed in less than two hours.

Lin Yubei picked up the cloth bag and started to sow the beans. Every time he sprinkled the beans into a hole, he would move the soil on one side with his foot to cover the beans.

This job looked easy, but in fact, he had to bend over all the time. With Lin Yubei's physique, his waist felt faintly sore after less than a third of the field was worked.

He gritted his teeth and sprinkled another portion of the beans.

Only then did he stand up straight, rubbed his lower back, and then looked towards the sky.

It will be noon now, and the sun is shining hard.

He raised his hand, wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and then walked towards the Lin family's yard with a bean seed in one hand and a hoe in the other.

He thought to himself—the sun is too poisonous, so we will plant again in the afternoon!

He had only left for a while before he was stopped by several women, and then a large pile of red eggs also arrived in front of him.

"Beizi, didn't your daughter-in-law give birth? My sister-in-law made some red eggs, take them back and give your daughter-in-law a boost!"

"You are so lucky to have two more sons. This full moon wine must be organized properly. Then my aunt will help you!"

"..."

The women were chattering around, and Lin Yubei's head was buzzing when he heard it. He didn't want to be as good-tempered to these people as his own family, and his face turned cold immediately.

This sound is also like the snow in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Yubei is a piece of shit, they all know that, but now he is an official as big as the county magistrate.

Who wouldn't want to curry favor with him?
Who would have thought that Lin Yubei would not eat this set!

As soon as they heard this, they didn't dare to go any further, and moved aside in embarrassment.

Seeing that these women were so sensible, Lin Yubei didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he left straight away, and then headed towards the Lin family's courtyard.

As his back gradually faded away, most of the women dispersed, and the remaining few were the most chatty on weekdays.

A woman with a red silk flower spat in the direction Lin Yubei left.

"Hey, what's the big deal, maybe how this official got here!"

Holding the red egg in her arms, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the woman she was close to, and whispered:

"A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw his daughter-in-law go to the county in an ox cart, and even entered the alley behind the county government!"

When the woman on the side heard it, she became interested, and leaned over to ask: "And then?"

She didn't answer, but looked around and saw that several people's eyes were shining, and she waved quickly: "Let's go, let's go to my house for lunch, let's chat together!"

"That's not good?"

"Besides, can your parents agree?"

The daughter-in-law of Changgui raised her hand and touched the red silk flower on her head without changing her expression.

"If he dares to disagree, my mother will drive him out!"

These words were so arrogant that the women beside them burst into laughter.

"Changgui's daughter-in-law is amazing!"

"That's right, you don't know what Changgui looks like. Changgui's daughter-in-law is so handsome, if she is disobedient, what can you do if she doesn't let her go to the kang..."

As soon as these words came out, the women laughed even harder.

The daughter-in-law of Changgui was not annoyed either, and walked ahead with her waist twisted, while beckoning other women to enter her house.

……

Lin Yubei went into the yard, leaned the hoe against the corner, and put the bean seeds in the shade.

The water tank in the yard was struck by lightning last night, and before he bought a new one, he went into the kitchen and saw Yang Hongfen cooking at a glance.

He immediately shouted: "Sister-in-law!"

Yang Hongfen raised her head, seeing that it was Lin Yubei who came, she lowered her head, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Yes."

Lin Yubei didn't reply either, he washed his hands and walked out.

Only then did Yang Hongfen breathe a sigh of relief, and the cooking action sped up.

Lin Yubei went back to the house.

As soon as he entered, he saw that Lin Mu and Lin Yan were also in Sifang.

He shouted: "Mom!"

Then he wanted to go up to the kang to see Li Yushu. Who would have thought that Mother Lin covered her nose and reached out to stop him.

With eyes full of disgust, he said: "You smell like sweat, go out for a walk, you'll be suffocated to death!"

Lin Yubei:? ? ?

He raised his hand and sniffed, only to find that the smell of sweat was not heavy.

He said: "Mom, still..." Okay

Before he finished speaking, Mother Lin stared back and stared back, Lin Yubei had no choice but to turn around and go out.

Only then did Mother Lin turn around in satisfaction, and then picked up a child.

"It smells like sweat and mud, what should I do if I smoke the two children!"

Li Yushu smiled, but did not speak.

Yang Hongfen quickly made lunch, and while she was carrying the dishes into the main room, she sent Xiao Hua to call Lin's mother.

"Xiaohua, go ask your grandma and fourth uncle to eat!"

Xiao Hua put the dish in her hand on the table, and nodded obediently: "I see!"

Then he ran out and knocked on the door of the fourth room.

Lin's mother inside heard the movement and hurriedly put down the child and walked outside, not forgetting to say to Li Yushu: "Perhaps it's time for lunch, I'll go and have a look!"

Li Yushu gave a "hmm".

Mother Lin opened the door, and Xiao Hua hurriedly said, "Grandma, it's time to eat!"

"Yeah." Mother Lin nodded to show that she understood.

Xiao Hua didn't bother to wait, she saw that her fourth uncle had gone out at that time, so she had to wait at the gate of the courtyard, lest fourth uncle would not know to eat when he came back!

Lin Yubei is at Dr. Lin's place right now.

When he heard Lin's mother say that he smelled of sweat, he suddenly remembered that Ah Shu always liked to be clean. When Lin Yan was born in confinement, she cried all day to wash up, otherwise she would not be healthy.

It's just that he admits to death and listens to those old sayings. He didn't know that it is possible to wipe his body with boiled mugwort leaves until he asked Mrs. Wen yesterday.

He stayed in Ah Shu's room yesterday afternoon, and forgot about it for a while, but now thinking about it, he thought about going to buy some directly.

Dr. Lin did have Ai Ye, and when Lin Yubei asked for it, he went straight to the backyard.

I put the mugwort leaves drying in the dustpan in a coarse cloth bag, and without weighing it, I weighed it and handed it over.

"It's estimated to be four or five catties, and you can give me five cents!"

There are many wormwood in Dashan Village.

In summer, pick some directly on the edge of the field and put them in the house to repel mosquitoes.

Or pick young leaves during the Dragon Boat Festival to make mugwort rice cakes.

Just pick it off, wash it, and then dry it, but no one messed it up!
Dr. Lin is also embarrassed to charge too much money, five cents, which is regarded as labor costs.

Lin Yubei was not too polite, he took out a purse from his pocket, and counted five copper coins to Dr. Lin.

Then he picked up the cloth bag containing mugwort leaves and left.
