I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 10 Busy Spring Plowing and Farming

"Okay." Zhou Chenyu and Zhou Baoyu walked to a corner of the wasteland, squatted down, and started working.

Zhou Baoyu worked very neatly. He grabbed the grass with his left hand and the knife with his right hand, and removed a piece of grass with two swipes.

Zhou Chenyu followed his example, and as soon as he started using it, his fingers felt like they had been cut by a sharp blade, and there was a faint stinging pain. After a while, two blood marks spilled out of the skin.

Baoyu beside her was still working hard and didn't notice her condition.

Zhou Chenyu sucked up the blood and waited for the wound to stop bleeding before continuing to weed.

However, no matter how careful she was, she would suffer a series of scratches, not only on her hands, but also on her face, neck, ankles and other exposed parts. In addition, it was hot and wet with sweat, and the wounds were itchy and burning.

After cutting for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chenyu stood up and straightened his back, squinted at the weeds in front of him, and swallowed thirstily.

Why can't this grass be cut all the way like leeks?

Zhou Chen sat down tiredly, with the poem "It's noon on the day of hoeing, sweat dripping from the soil under the hoeing" constantly ringing in his mind.

Baoyu suddenly called her and pointed a knife at the person running out of the woods, "Sister, look, look at that man?"

Not long after Zhou Chenyu sat down, her eyes were blankly staring at the dense grass, as if she was tired. She was not interested even when the King of Heaven came. "I'm not from a daughter's country. I haven't seen a man before? I don't want to."

Baoyu urged, "Sister, you have seen that man too!"

what?
Has she seen it before?

Zhou Chenyu frowned and thought about it. Apart from the cold and handsome man, there was no other man who impressed her these days.

"Could it be him?" Zhou Chenyu sat up in shock as if he was dying of illness, and looked up suddenly.

The man wore a braided straw hat, and his healthy, dark skin shone in the sun. He had nothing to do with the cold and handsome man she wanted to see.

Zhou Chenyu's excitement was like a roller coaster. He suddenly lost interest, but looking at his big white tooth smile, he felt a little familiar.

She thought hard for a while, and suddenly remembered the experience of being mentioned like a chicken a few days ago.

"So it's him." Zhou Chenyu murmured and poked Baoyu: "Hey, hey, what's his name?"

Zhou Baoyu turned around and said, "Sister, I saved your life, but you don't even remember it. You are really heartless."

"Oh, I'm not a face-controller. With such a big brain, there's no way I can hold so many men." Zhou Chenyu muttered, watching the man coming this way, he quickly kicked Zhou Baoyu. "Who are you talking about having no conscience! Tell me your name quickly, or you will make a fool of yourself!"

Baoyu pinched his sister for the first time and replied calmly: "Tongsheng, my name is Chen Tongsheng."

Zhou Chenyu finally remembered this eldest brother's name, "Yes, yes, Chen Tongsheng."

Chen Tongsheng strode towards this side carrying a sack of things and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I meet you here."

Zhou Chenyu brushed aside the wet hair on both sides of his face, revealing his cheeks that were flushed by the sun, and greeted him with a sweet smile: "Brother Tongsheng, good afternoon."

Baoyu also echoed.

"That day, I only remember that your name was Zhou Baoyu, right?" Chen Tongsheng glanced at Baoyu, who nodded. His eyes turned to Zhou Chenyu, and asked like the big brother next door: "You don't know yet, little sister?" What’s his name? Can you tell me a little bit about it?”

Zhou Chenyu smiled politely, "My name is Zhou Chenyu."

Chen Tongsheng nodded and said seriously, "I have only been to school for a few days, so I don't know if my guess is wrong. Are you a Shen Yu Luo Yan?"

Zhou Baoyu squeezed over to take the lead and said with a grin: "Brother Tongsheng guessed it right, that's my sister's name. Brother Tongsheng, do you think my sister's name is worthy of her name?" Chen Tongsheng looked at Zhou Chenyu intently. , laughed heartily, "Brother Baoyu is right."

Although Zhou Chenyu was happy with this word to describe a great beauty, he did not dare to express it publicly. His old face turned red and he said shyly: "It's too exaggerated."

"What are you doing?" Li Xiuju listened for a while, couldn't help but poked her head out, saw the strong young man, and asked in surprise: "Who is this?"

Chen Tongsheng looked at the similar looks of mother and son, concluded that Li Xiuju was the elder, and said hello with a smile.

Baoyu told Li Xiuju how they met, and Li Xiuju solemnly thanked her again. They chatted for a few words, and Chen Tongsheng hurried home and left.

Li Xiuju watched him go away, "My surname is Chen, and I passed by here again. Could it be that he is from the Chenjia Village below our village? Chen Tongsheng, whose child is he?"

Zhou Chenyu's expression changed.

Why ask so clearly?
You won't list him as your future son-in-law, right?
She doesn't like this handsome man, so don't make any mistakes.

Zhou Chenyu tensed up his nerves, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't know about this, but I seem to have heard that he is in love and is about to get married. Also, for a tall and powerful man like him, there must be many women. The kids love it.”

"Are you happy with your relationship?" Li Xiuju looked pityful.

lover?

Baoyu frowned, why didn't he know about this?
His face was full of doubts, and he turned to look at his sister. Zhou Chenyu stepped on him and smiled lightly, "Is your sister right?"

again...

Baoyu gritted his teeth in pain, blushed and nodded, "No...that's right."

The three of them mowed all morning, half of the grass was removed, and half was left.At noon, I went back to have a hasty lunch. After I had enough rest, I returned to the wasteland without stopping to remove the remaining weeds.

When he first arrived in the morning, Zhou Chenyu was only slightly concerned about the cut. After finishing these tasks, it should be a minor problem.

When I came back after lunch, my whole body felt like it was falling apart, and it hurt wherever I moved.

Relying on her remaining strength, she gritted her teeth and held on. The three of them attacked from several directions, cutting the weeds down to the size of a table.

In the end, each person gets a small handful, which can be considered as razing the weeds to the ground.

As evening approached and the light faded, the women sowing seeds in the fields washed their feet in advance and rushed home to cook, while the others stayed to deal with the aftermath.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the chickens are grazing outside. They need to be found before sunset.

Li Xiuju stopped working to look for chickens, while Baoyu went home to light a fire and boil water. The food for tonight was not yet available, so Zhou Chenyu went to look for wild vegetables.

She handed the knife to Baoyu, and when she was about to leave, she was stopped by Li Xiuju, "Chen Yu, you have been eating wild vegetables these days, are you a little tired of it? When you go to look for wild vegetables, you can take a look at the river to see if there are any water bracken. , I still have the eggs I picked up the day before yesterday, it’s just right to fry them with water bracken.”

Water bracken.

She remembered that when she was a child, her grandmother in the countryside often went to the river to pick up water bracken and stir-fry it or stir-fry it with eggs. It tasted so good.

After leaving the countryside, she seldom ate this food.

Zhou Chenyu walked around the village road behind the kitchen. There was a slope going down, and on the right was a large vegetable garden surrounded by bamboos. The vegetable garden was cultivated into several parts and filled with various fruits and vegetables.

I wonder what the wasteland they are mining today will look like in the future?
She was envious for a while and continued walking down.
