A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 54
In the early morning of the next day, when Li Xi got up, he was busy arranging the family affairs, and Zhao Mu got up with her every day, so he did what she did, but he did it very quickly. After finishing everything, he washed up after breakfast. After that, she went to the village chief's house to see if his plow handle was there.

But it was a coincidence, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Yuan unloading a big bag at the door of his house. Li Xi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Brother Zhao Yuan, you are here to bring me food."

Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded, "I'm about to knock on the door, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

"I want to go to your house to see if your plow handles are used. I want to plow all the fields today."

Zhao Yuan smiled when he heard it and said, "It's a coincidence that my family opened up a piece of wasteland next to the river last year. This year, I want to plant some peanuts and beans, and I have to turn over the soil. Just in time, I will plow all your fields. My father said that he knew you were going to do this a few days ago, so he put water in your field without authorization, and now the water has soaked the field, which is just right for plowing."

Li Xi didn't expect this to happen, he froze for a moment and shook his head and said, "Thank you very much, second uncle, that's why he will think about us a little bit more." He said gratefully: "Come in and drink some water. It’s tiring to carry it alone on the road.”

"Hey, the weight of this idea is nothing." Zhao Yuan waved his hand, and after thanking Li Xi, he was about to reach out to lift the fifty catties of grain on the ground, but he just bent down and suddenly a big hand appeared in front of him, and then he saw a Grab the grain bag with one hand, and lift it up...

Zhao Yuan raised his head to look at the owner of the big hand, and turned his head to look at Li Xi after a while. He grinned and said, "Ah Mu's strength is still so great." Although fifty catties is not too heavy, it is uncomfortable to carry it like this. Seeing that Zhao Mu lifted it up with one hand easily, and carried it back without changing his face, he knew how strong he was.

"He, he has great strength." Li Xi nodded in sympathy, and then she seemed to take out a small cloth bag from her bosom when she remembered it. This is a small money bag she sewed: "This is money for food, I’ll leave it to Brother Zhao Yuan, you count.”

"Hey." Zhao Yuan waved his hand, but Li Xi stuffed the money directly into his arms, so he paused, and put the money bag away, but he was still a little embarrassed and said, "It's the money."

"We are buying and selling, of course we need to collect money." Li Xi still pointed to the purse in his arms and said, "Brother Zhao Yuan should count the money."

"No, no, you can also see if the amount of food is right." Zhao Yuan stuffed the money into his arms without hesitation at all, but said with a straight face: "Besides, I still don't believe you, it's enough for the food." I delivered it too, so you don’t need to go to my house to borrow a plow handle, I’ll bring the cattle back today, and by the way, your family’s field will also be rented.”

Li Xi is very grateful to Zhao Yuan for this, but still shook his head and said: "This is not possible, how can I let brother Zhao Yuan do white work, and your cattle are lent to your brother-in-law's house, it must be useless now After that, it happened that Li's family was willing to lend me a cow for two days, so I'll use his cow. As for plowing, although Zhao Mu's mind is not very flexible, he can do it if he is taught carefully, not as good as Zhao Mu. Brother Yuan, please help and teach him."

"You, you really borrowed cattle from the Li family." Zhao Yuan heard some rumors, but he didn't think too much about it. Now that what Li Xi said seems to be true, he couldn't help but find it funny: "Are you sure you can borrow it?" Come."

Li Xi was noncommittal: "Aunt Qian said this in front of many people." After speaking, she waved to Zhao Mu who had put down the rice and said, "Hurry up, let's borrow a cow."
