I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 4
Li Xiuju stood beside Zhou Chenyu distressedly, "Baoyu, is she your sister?"

"Mom, don't worry. Dad will definitely not let anything happen to my sister. Leave it to me." Zhou Baoyu ran over and said, "Sister, wake up, wake up."

"Baoyu, what's wrong with me?" Zhou Chenyu opened his eyes in a pretentious manner.

Zhou Baoyu suppressed his laughter and pretended to be crazy and said with a silly smile: "Sister, you were ill just now, don't you even remember it?"

"What? Did I get sick again?" Zhou Chenyu glanced around and fixed his gaze on Qian Rushan, who was scared to death. "My uncle Qian, why are you hiding there? Did I get sick just now and hurt you? ?Baoyu, help me over."

"Sister, dad didn't give him a good look, what do you care about him? Dad should have taken him away just now." Zhou Baoyu saw Qian Rushan lost half of his soul and cursed, but he still helped his sister up obediently.

Zhou Chenyu came to Qian Rushan like a sick beauty, stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, and said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you into peeing your pants."

When Qian Rushan saw Zhou Chenyu's blood-stained hands, he exclaimed, his eyes darkened, and he fainted completely.

"Why did he faint?" Zhou Chenyu covered his mouth in surprise and winked proudly at Zhou Baoyu, "I don't need to tell you the rest. Do you know what to do?"

"Come on." Zhou Baoyu picked up the broom on the side and pointed it at the group of strong men who were paralyzed with fear. "Your master's account with our family has been wiped out. What are you doing here? Do you still want to treat you to food? Are you leaving after dinner? Why don't you take your master with you and get out of here!"

"Let's go, let's go right away!" Several strong men climbed up in embarrassment, holding on to the coma like a mountain of money, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Baoyu chased them halfway, watched them leave the village, and hurried home to announce the good news, "Mom, sister, they really ran away."

"It's a bad thing if they don't run away." Zhou Chenyu brushed off his clothes as if he was done, hiding his merit and fame, and collapsed there tiredly.

It suddenly became quiet. Li Xiuju looked at the two of them vomiting blood and getting injured, but as a mother, she could do nothing to help. She covered her face and cried.

Zhou Chenyu is usually very talkative, but when she sees someone crying, she doesn't know how to comfort her, especially when this is her "mother".

She sat there and glanced at Zhou Baoyu.

Zhou Baoyu sat down next to Li Xiuju in a panic, "Mom, my sister and I have beaten away the bad guys, and the IOU has been torn into pieces. Why are you crying?"

Li Xiuju raised her eyes, her bloodshot eyes filled with tears, "If I hadn't signed that note, I wouldn't have been defrauded of so much money by Qian Rushan, they wouldn't have come to collect debts, and you wouldn't have suffered. It's all my fault. Blame me."

"Mom, this is not your fault. Qian Rushan and that annoying uncle knew that you were anxious to raise money to save your father, so they deliberately deceived you. Not only did this matter fall on you, it fell into my hands. It’s easy to fall for it. Don’t cry. If dad were here, he definitely wouldn’t want you to be like this.”

Zhou Baoyu retracted his hands to reveal his sleeves, and carefully wiped away the tears on Li Xiuju's face.

Zhou Chenyu sat there alone, neither comforting nor not comforting.

She coughed and said, "Have you cried enough? I'm so hungry. Can I get some food?"

Zhou Baoyu smiled and acted coquettishly, "Yes, mother, sister is hungry, so please stop crying and give us something to eat."

Ever since Zhou Chenyu woke up from an illness, he has been talking crazy nonsense every day, or looking for life and death, but today he actually asked for some food.

Li Xiuju stopped crying immediately and smiled happily: "Then just wait, I will make you something delicious right away."

After saying that, she hurriedly walked into the house. Zhou Chenyu sat in the yard like an uncle, watching Zhou Baoyu pick up the broom and clean up the garbage bit by bit.

The sun hanging over the distant mountains in the west is like a red, oily salted duck egg yolk against the backdrop of the rolling mountains.The sky is getting darker and darker, white smoke is rising from the chimneys of every house in the village, and the farmers who are doing spring plowing are walking back with their hoes on their shoulders.

I don't know which restaurant the wind brought the aroma of food to. Zhou Chenyu's stomach growled and he looked leisurely towards the kitchen.

Li Xiuju came out with a large basin of things and shouted happily to them: "Chen Yu, Baoyu, dinner is ready, you should wash your hands and eat quickly."

What's delicious to eat?
I see.

Zhou Chenyu ran over like a cat and followed Li Xiuju. When he entered the house, he only saw a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables that looked like grass, and a pot of porridge mixed with red-purple sweet potatoes and rice grains.

"Come on, eat quickly." Li Xiuju scooped out two full bowls and put them on the table while they were still hot.

Just...that's it.

Zhou Chenyu stood there dumbfounded, suddenly missing the high-quality and cheap 15-yuan Longjiang pork trotter rice that she always disliked in the past, as well as snail noodles, hot pot, rice rolls, spicy hotpot...

It’s over, the lost youth really can’t be brought back.

However, she hadn't eaten for two days and two nights, so she couldn't care less about whether it tasted good or not. Filling her stomach was the most important thing.

Zhou Chenyu picked up the bowl, took a big mouthful of vegetables and put it into his mouth.

Zhou Baoyu felt happy when she saw that her sister had a good appetite. But when she saw her own bowl and then Li Xiuju's bowl, her smile suddenly disappeared and she asked, "Mom, are we out of rice at home?"

No rice?

Zhou Chenyu paused, thinking of the takeaway that was thrown out after he couldn't finish it. Compared with the clear soup now, which was watery, it was really a waste of resources.

Li Xiuju picked up the bowl and took a sip, "The rice is gone, but there are still some sweet potatoes, which is enough for us to eat for a while. It's time for you to grow, so eat more. I'm old, so it doesn't matter if you eat less." "

"How can this be done?" Zhou Baoyu snatched the bowl over and divided his own half.

The child was so filial and sensible, and Li Xiuju's eyes turned red again. Thinking of the difficult days when her husband was ill, she had no time to be distracted by just taking care of people.

Now that everyone is gone, the lives of those who survived should get back on the right track.

Her eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "It's spring plowing now, and there must be a lot of spring bamboo shoots in the forest. Baoyu, tomorrow morning I will go to the mountains with you, pick some back and sell them. When we save enough money, we, my wife, will do it again and again." Enclose the wasteland behind the house, and then grow some vegetables, fruits, and raise chickens and ducks, which will be enough for us.”

"If we still have some money left, let's buy another piece of land to grow some rice. Life will definitely be better in the future than it is now. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Zhou Baoyu looked at his mother, who had started to grow gray hair, and her sister, who was nervous from time to time, and vowed to pat her chest, "Mom, your legs and feet are not good, I can go alone, and let me take care of you and your sister from now on. "

Zhou Chenyu looked up from the bowl and saw the stupidity in his clear eyes.

After careful consideration and struggle, she decided to rely on herself.
