I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 277

Zhou Shuqing watched several young guys in the yard competing to pound glutinous rice. He fell down and sat on a chair, sighing: "Oh, it's rare that I have time. You slowly pound it, and I'll go and help you." Prepare some fruit to eat."

After that, he rubbed his clothes, got up and went back to the main room. He took out the grapefruit that Chen Tongsheng had just brought and said, "Let me taste the grapefruit grown at your home to see if it is sweet. If it is sweet, I will go to your house to pick up some tomorrow. Bring the bag back."

Chen Tongsheng straightened his back and replied: "I dare not promise anything else, but I have full confidence in the grapefruit grown at home."

The two grown men smiled, sat together and began to peel the grapefruit.

Zhou Chenyu and Hongmei took down the hard white glutinous rice cakes that were hanging on the dustpan, stacked them one after another, and placed them in a drum covered with cloth.

When passing by the stone mortar, Hongmei watched several young people working hard, while Zhou Shuqing and Chen Tongsheng, who were tall and tall, looked like old rich men looking after work, especially Zhou Shuqing.

Hongmei immediately said angrily, "You even said that you want Tong Sheng to set an example for them. Look at yourself. You are sitting here arrogantly peeling grapefruits and asking a few of them to work. Are you ashamed?"

Chen Tongsheng looked at the couple, freed his hands, stood up and drew a clear line, "Sister-in-law, you have to be careful. It's not that I didn't want to do it. It was because I was forced by Shu Qing that I couldn't help it, so I went with him. You If you want to scold, then just scold him."

Zhou Chenyu and Wan Qiuquan stood aside with smiles as if they were watching the fun, watching Zhou Shuqing being scolded by Hongmei.

Zhou Shuqing peeled off the grapefruit in his hand, raised his head, and glanced at the group of people in front of him. He was really wronged, "Hey, I..."

The second child, who had just been besieged by everyone, sat down and put his hands on his shoulders. He looked like he was a man who had fallen from the world, "Brother Shuqing, do you know my difficulty this time? This is the New Year's Day." It’s really not easy for us to be made difficult by these women.”

"Really?" Hongmei's eyes widened immediately, threatening him.Zhou Shuqing lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

Hongmei smiled with satisfaction, but as soon as she left, Zhou Shuqing nodded immediately, "You're right."

Zhou Chenyu looked at the two mean men and looked at Hongmei with a smile, "Sister-in-law Hongmei, Brother Shuqing nodded when you turned around just now."

"Okay, Zhou Shuqing, how dare you do one thing to me and another behind my back!" Hongmei turned around and came to kill her. Zhou Shuqing was so frightened that she quickly stuffed the grapefruit into Chen Tongsheng's hand, hiding from her all over the yard. Hongmei mouthed Still shouting:
"Hongmei, I was wrong."

"Daughter-in-law, I was really wrong."

Everyone looked at this noisy couple chasing each other, just like listening to music and watching a play, they were amused by them until they laughed from ear to ear.

More than a dozen people stayed in the yard and divided their work, talking, laughing and making noises. From early in the morning to afternoon, they even ate white glutinous rice cake to satisfy their appetites for lunch. After pounding the last pot of glutinous rice, they pounded it. onto the dustpan.

Everyone gathered around the dustpan. Zhou Huilan and Li Xiuju were responsible for kneading the small glutinous rice balls evenly. Zhou Chenyu, Wan Qiu Hongmei and a few other young men were responsible for pressing. After a while, the clean dustpan was filled with white glutinous rice cakes. .

Chen Tongsheng saw that the work was done, and naturally there was no need to stay any longer. He washed off the grease on his hands and said, "Godmother, Chen Yu, I will go back first."

"Tongsheng, please wait a moment. Baoyu, please go home quickly and bring a bamboo basket. Mother will pack some glutinous rice cakes for Tongsheng to take back." Li Xiuju ordered Baoyu, but before Chen Tongsheng could refuse, Baoyu ran out. Chen Tongsheng said hurriedly: "Godmother, I have eaten a lot here today, so I won't take it with me."

"That's not possible. You have been helping us here for a long time today, how can you come back empty-handed? If this matter gets out, we will be laughed at by others for not knowing etiquette."

Mrs. Wang had also told Hongmei to prepare some in advance, "Tongsheng, I just brought a few white glutinous rice cakes. They are not expensive things. Just take them back."

Zhou Huilan: "Yes, there is no reason to go back empty-handed? Take it with you if you are asked. If you don't take it with you, I won't be happy."

Chen Tongsheng looked at everyone talking to each other one by one. He really couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to give up.

The three of them put more than twenty white glutinous rice cakes into baskets, and Zhou Chenyu and Wan Qiu sent them out.

The three of them walked on the trail at dusk, their blurry shadows scattered by the dead grass on the roadside.

"Okay, it's cold outside, just send me here and go back quickly." Chen Tongsheng glanced at Wan Qiu and then at the thin Zhou Chenyu, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Zhou Chenyu looked at his hesitant eyes, pushed back his hair that was blown by the wind, and smiled toothily, "Okay, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm not someone else."

Chen Tongsheng smiled gratefully, and Zhou Chenyu took the initiative to retreat, looking at the mountain ranges in the distance. He opened his hands to chase the dandelions blown by the cold wind, with a wanton smile on his face.

Zhou Wanqiu was suddenly left by her sister, facing Brother Chen alone. She nervously grabbed the skirt on both sides of her thighs, vaguely guessing something, but she couldn't believe it, "Brother Chen, what's important to you?"

When Chen Tongsheng saw her looking as frightened as a frightened deer, Chen Tongsheng became nervous himself and tightened the bamboo basket in his hand.He is usually a carefree person, but at this moment, his tongue seems to be tied up, "Late Qiu, that, I, that..."

Zhou Wanqiu was a little nervous at first, but when she saw that the man in front of her was even more nervous than him, she suddenly no longer felt nervous. She mustered up the courage to raise her eyes and said with a smile:
"Brother Tongsheng, do you want to ask Wan Qiu if he would like to go see the Lantern Festival with you this year?"

When Chen Tongsheng said what was in his heart, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and he rushed forward happily, "Sister Wan Qiu," "Yes, yes, yes!"That's what I mean! "

Zhou Wanqiu looked at the dark shadow pressing in front of him, a blush appeared on his face, he grabbed his sleeves and took a step back.

Chen Tongsheng caught a glimpse of her actions and his heart tightened, "Look at my stupid mouth. I can't even speak clearly. I'm really making my sister a joke."

But when his eyes fell on her rosy cheeks, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly suppressed his secret joy and nervously asked her, "Sister Wan Qiu, are you willing?"

Wan Qiu was stared at by him, his eyes looked to both sides in panic, he bit his lip hard and nodded shyly.

"Really? You really agreed!!!" After hearing her reply, Chen Tongsheng seemed to have lost control of his body. He excitedly stepped forward to hold her arms, but when he was about to touch her, he realized When he felt something was wrong, he quickly took it back, touched the back of his head, and covered up his recklessness with a silly smile, "That's great!"
