Chapter 232

Lu Zhongshou looked at these wheat fields thoughtfully. If his father-in-law and the others were not skilled in carpentry, relying on these fields alone, although food and clothing can be guaranteed, it may not be able to cover the cost of the children's education in the town's academy.

Speaking of the father-in-law's family is not easy.

The eldest brother and the others have already separated. Although they can earn some money by doing carpentry together, most of the money is used for the children to study.

There are many sons and grandchildren in each house. If you can’t save enough money, you can’t build a house and buy fields. If there is no house and field, the daughter of a family is willing to marry. Fortunately, these older grandchildren are all studying and have no plans to get married.

Fortunately, there are many houses built before the yard of each house, so there is no need to worry about these problems for the time being.

As long as these children can be admitted to Tongsheng, even if they fail to pass the examination as a scholar, they can be enlightened masters in the village, and it will be easy for Tongsheng to find a job in the county or prefectural city, and the burden will be greatly reduced at that time.

It's a pity that my family doesn't have any business and can't help much. My father traveled all over the world to sell furs in the early years, but this business is not easy to do, not to mention the long journey. The main reason is that there are certain dangers. .

At that time, Dad relied on his martial arts skills and the courage he developed in the army, and most importantly, Dad was smart and able to assess the situation, so he could make some small fortunes by relying on superficiality, which Dad could not replicate.

Now his family's life is not bad, but he also wants to see his Yue's family live better, Lu Zhongshou is for his wife for nothing else, the better his father-in-law's family lives, the happier his wife will naturally be.

As a good son-in-law of his father-in-law and a good husband-in-law of his wife, he should plan and plan for his father-in-law's family. This has to make him think carefully, what can the uncle and the others do to make a living?
Lu Zhongshou was meditating at the edge of the field, Lu Qingshan and the others had spent a lot of time turning over a dozen acres of land from several uncles' homes, and the quality of the wheat was roughly the same.

After turning back, he saw that his father was contemplating, so he didn't dare to disturb him.

They didn't dare to disturb, but it didn't mean that others didn't disturb. Soon, several farmers in sackcloth came from other fields.

The older ones were five or 60 years old, and the younger ones were three or 40 years old. They looked at Qingshan and the others carefully.

When I first left the distance, I saw these people standing by the wheat field of Wei's house, and didn't pay much attention to them, thinking they were just passing by.

But after a short while, a few people were still there, which made them think more. Now that the wheat has matured, these people may not have come to survey the terrain and prepare to steal the wheat.

Whether as neighbors in the same village or in the field, you can't just sit idly by. Besides, the old man has a good relationship with Brother Wei, let alone ignore them.

Seeing this, the old man Wang couldn't stand in his own field anymore, so he took his sons and walked towards Wei's field.

The closer I got, the more I felt that these people didn't seem to be stealing food. After all, the clothes on their bodies didn't look like they were short of food and drink.

Standing not far from Lu Zhongshou and the others, he looked at this group of people with scrutiny.

For some reason, I feel more and more familiar after looking at it. This can't be Brother Wei's uncle, right?

Old man Wang widened his eyes, and took a few steps closer, not to mention that he was really Brother Wei's uncle.

Old man Wang heaved a sigh of relief, and made a false alarm. As long as he didn't steal the grain, would it be easy for the wheat to work so hard for so many months?
The closer to the two days of harvesting in the latter part of the year, the more nervous they are, and they even come to check the fields at night.

Grain is stolen from the field almost every year. Even if it is reported to the official, it will be nothing in the end, and the people who lost the grain can only consider themselves unlucky.

After all, these people who stole food were very clever and did not leave any traces at all, making it impossible for the government to investigate.

The relieved old man Wang smiled and said to Lu Zhongshou: "You are here to find Brother Wei, you are a step late, Brother Wei has already left with the children."

Lu Zhongshou, who came back to his senses, got down from the field ridge and walked up to the old man who was looking at them.

With a gentle and polite attitude, he said to the old man: "Hello, uncle, I don't know who you are?"

Hearing this, the old man laughed, "We are from Hedi Village. I didn't recognize you from a distance at first. I thought you were sweeping the spot to steal wheat, so don't take it for granted that you came here!"

"It's not strange, it's not strange, but thank you uncle? The uncle is so noble, and Zhongshou really admires him."

Knowing the reason, Lu Zhongshou hurriedly said, although people in a village should help each other, it is not like there is no one who sweeps the door, so the old man deserves his thanks.

"What do you admire? The villagers in the capital must help each other. Besides, this is the land of Brother Wei's family. I can't just sit idly by." Old man Wang said indifferently.

"Since I know it's you, I don't worry anymore, so let's go." The old man Wang waved to his sons and walked towards their land.

It wasn't until these people walked away that Lu Zhongshou looked away and said to his son, "Let's go back too, your grandpa and the others probably found out that we had gone astray with him."

Hearing this, Qing Jiang said with a smile: "It is possible that the uncles have already come out to look for us."

Qingshan Qinghe also felt that this possibility was very high, and they all agreed with the third brother's statement.

In this way, the father and son quickly walked out of the path in the ground and walked towards Hedi Village.

That is half a quarter of an hour, as Qingjiang said, he ran into the eldest uncle and the others on the road.

When Wei Tian and the others saw the figures of their brother-in-law, they immediately became happy, walked quickly a few steps, and greeted them.

"Brother-in-law, I finally welcome you." Wei Tian said with a smile.

While talking, Wei Tian wanted to put his arms around his brother-in-law's shoulders, but he stopped suddenly at the moment he got started, thinking that his actions did not match his brother-in-law's temperament.

Lu Zhongshou smiled as he looked at the hand that his uncle put down. In fact, he really didn't care about it. He said with a smile, "Big brother, second brother and third brother, why are you here? It's not worth it for brothers to come and pick them up at this point."

"Whether it's worth it or not, we'd like to come, do the elder nephews miss uncle?" After speaking, Wei Tian and the others looked at the elder nephews.

Qingshan Qinghe Qingjiang: "..." Well, the uncles still treat them like they were when they were children, and ask them if they want to when they meet?It seems that they have forgotten their current age, and they can't easily speak words.

Even so, they still quickly yelled "Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle".

"Okay, okay!" The shouts of the nephews made the uncles happy. The uncles abandoned Lu Zhongshou and came to the side of the three nephews, patting the shoulders of the nephews without any scruples.

Qingshan and the others didn't care about the slaps of the uncles, they happily talked and laughed with the uncles and walked towards Hedi Village.

After a while, a group of people came to the door of Wei's house, and the chatter and laughter inside could be faintly heard outside the gate.

A few people opened the door and walked in, the purpose of entering was Xiao Qi, Sheng Zhi Sheng Fan, Wei Man Wei Sheng Wei Man... and many other juniors, teasing Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei.

The two old men couldn't close their mouths because of the teasing by these children, and their faces were flushed red because of the excessive laughter, making them look much younger.

Several people walked into the courtyard, Wei Tian took advantage of the opportunity to close the door, seeing the happy appearance of the two old people, several people couldn't help laughing.

Lu Zhongshou walked quickly to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and quickly called "father and mother" to say hello.

The two elders, who were already very happy, agreed happily when they saw their son-in-law came back.

The next conversation was immediately interrupted by Qingshan's grandsons, coaxed by them for a while, even Qingjiang, who usually only knows how to read and talk less, also put his arms around his grandma's arm and talked non-stop.

Seeing so many children in front of them, the two old people are united in joy. Isn't that what people want when they get old?
 Ask for various tickets, ask for collection, ask for subscription, ask for care.
