I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 125 Return of the Field Deed 4
After leaving Uncle Zhang's house, Zhou Chenyu went straight back to Zhoujia Village.

Because I was in a good mood along the way, I smelled the strong fragrance of osmanthus on the roadside. I climbed a tree and picked a few osmanthus branches, intending to take them home and keep them by the window.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone has stopped working outside to take the opportunity to rest for a few days and have a good festival, so the farmers weeding and fertilizing in the paddy fields have almost disappeared.

Zhou Chenyu held the sweet-scented osmanthus branch, admired the scenery in the rice fields, and walked towards the door of his house.

Before she got home, Huang Dou smelled her scent and ran out to greet her.

Huang Dou kept rubbing her legs with his furry head. This guy had been eating and drinking well in the mountains for more than ten days. The hair on his body was as big as that of a golden lion. Of course, he was getting bigger and bigger.

Zhou Chenyu found it difficult to pick it up, so he could only stroke its head hard.

"You are really a dog. You have such a sharp nose. I came out to greet you before you even got home. I paid for you in vain."

Zhou Chenyu and Huang Dou were having a great time playing, when suddenly a passionate laughter sounded from beside them, "Chenyu, where are you playing with the dog?"

This is...Chen Cuiping's voice?
How could that old woman Chen Cuiping talk to her in such a tone?

Zhou Chenyu felt that he had heard wrong, and looked up with doubts. Chen Cuiping was indeed standing at the door of her house with squinting eyes and a smile, followed by Zhou Wanqiu.

Since the Qingming Festival, she had teased Chen Cuiping in public, and also alienated their daughter-in-law's relationship. When Chen Cuiping saw her, she would either look away and pretend she didn't see her, or scold her in a weird way.

Why did she show such a worthless smile when I saw her today?
Is the sun coming out west?

Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person and with Zhou Wanqiu also by his side, Zhou Chenyu answered her politely and coldly, "Yes."

Chen Cuiping saw the sweet-scented osmanthus branch next to her and came up to smell it, "Oh, your sweet-scented osmanthus is so fragrant. It will taste particularly good when used to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Zhou Chenyu pointed to the mountainside, "I picked them up on the road to the market. There are many more there. If you want, you can pick them up yourself."

"Really? Then I'll go take a look another day when I have free time. Let's go home in late autumn." After Chen Cuiping finished speaking with a smile, she waved to Zhou Wanqiu who was silent.

Zhou Chenyu pursed his lips and looked at her. All in all, it had been a long time since the sisters had touched each other.

Zhou Wanqiu walked over timidly, holding both hands, "Sister Chen Yu, I..."

Chen Cuiping rushed forward, blocked Zhou Wanqiu's face, grabbed her hand hard, and warned with a smile:
"We have been delayed at my uncle's house for long enough. If we don't leave, we have to stay for dinner. How embarrassing is it? You are such a grown man, you should be sensible. Let's go home!"

Chen Cuiping grabbed Zhou Wanqiu's hand, and before leaving, she didn't forget to smile, "Chen Yu, aunt is going back first. I'll see you tomorrow."

Come tomorrow?

Zhou Chenyu watched the mother and daughter walk away, "Is this old woman really not sick?"

After they left, Baoyu, who was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, rushed out and said, "Sister, you are finally back."

Zhou Chenyu looked at Baoyu. He had been at home just now and must know something, "Hey, why did Chen Cuiping come to our house? Why is she smiling? Did she take the wrong medicine?"

Baoyu curled her lips and was worried about this, "Sister, do you think it's strange or not, my aunt willingly returned our one-acre paddy field?"

"What?" Zhou Chenyu opened his eyes in disbelief, "Real or false?" Baoyu affirmed again, "How can this be false? The land deed is now in my mother's hands."

The transaction price of an acre of land in the market was several taels of silver, which was equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary family. How could Chen Cuiping return the land deed so willingly?

Zhou Chenyu rolled his eyes, thought of Qian Rushan, and smiled coldly, "Qian Rushan came to our house to atone for his sins that day and made such a big fuss. Maybe Chen Cuiping saw this, so she was happy to return the property to its original owner."

Baoyu put on a stinky face and sighed, "Let me tell you, when they teamed up to occupy our family's land, why did they just give back the things they took so much effort to get? It turned out to be because of Qian Rushan. . Mom should not have been so nice to her just now. The thought of having to interact with their family more in the future makes me feel sick."

Zhou Chenyu frowned, it would be okay if it was just for this reason.

But thinking about Qian Rushan's entanglement with her today, I'm afraid these two cobblers made some shady deal behind the scenes?

Zhou Chenyu curled his lips and picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus branch that was placed on the ground. "What's so disgusting? It's the holiday tomorrow, so I have to save my stomach for delicious food. Come on, let's go home."

As the night passed, the bleak autumn scenery in the mountains behind Zhoujia Village and the rice fields at the door turned a little yellower.

Zhou Chenyu ushered in the first Mid-Autumn Festival reunion here.

It was rare to have a good holiday, so Li Xiuju also took a nap and slept a little longer with her two children.

It was almost noon, and the family of three had breakfast and lunch together, and then took a nap before starting the evening feast.

Li Xiuju and Baoyu caught the fat chickens and rabbits that were only for eating from the chicken coop and sold the leftover rabbits. Zhou Chenyu started a fire in the stove, when a deafening sound of firecrackers rang out from an unknown direction, startling her.

Li Xiuju smelled the smell of firecrackers and looked outside the door while working. "I asked you to call Tong Sheng that day. Did you tell him that he listened?"

Baoyu muttered, "Mom, of course we said it. If Brother Tongsheng doesn't come, my sister and I will come to find him."

After the words fell, Chen Tongsheng, carrying a basket of things on his back, appeared at the door and said with a smile, "Yeah, I'm here right now?"

When Li Xiuju saw him, the blood from the chicken neck was still wet, so she could only look at him with a smile on her face, "Why don't you go over and help."

"Hey." Baoyu hurriedly chased away the hare and ran after it to help. He saw a basket full of fruits, "Brother Tongsheng, you came right away, why did you bring so many things?"

Zhou Chenyu heard the sound and went out with the brewed tea, poured a cup and handed it to him, smiling and teasing:
"Chi chi chi, there are peaches, oranges, star fruits, and moon cakes. I just asked you to come and have a meal. Are you afraid that we will be poor? Are you tired?"

When Li Xiuju heard this, she came up helplessly and patted Zhou Chenyu on the head, "Tong Sheng, don't pay attention to her."

Chen Tongsheng didn't take it seriously. He took the teacup with a naive smile and put his arm around Baoyu's shoulders. "I am here to honor my godmother and love my brother Baoyu. What should I do with you, a little girl?"

Baoyu got a bargain and sold it well, "Hey, that's it, sister, don't eat it."

Zhou Chenyu took a slap, snatched away his water glass, and filled it up again, "Since you drank my tea, of course you have something to do with me."

Li Xiuju looked at the three young people, feeling helpless and amused, and urged: "Oh, you two, please stop talking nonsense, you have to work."
