“Moon, you punked me again!”
Song Wan Yue ate her meal in a leisurely manner, paying no attention to Song San Xiao’s wails.
“Lao Er, go, take out the wine from his house and pour it back into the wine jar, keep an eye on him and don’t allow him to drink a single drop.”
Song Sanxiao howled even more, he hadn’t even taken a sip of such good wine yet.
Song Shu didn’t care about him, he got up and went to his house and took out the wine, poured it into the wine jar, and then carried it to Master Song’s house.
Song Sanxiao wanted to die. He had been hoping for good wine every day and night for months, and it was gone.
Grandma Song twisted his ear with hatred, “Remember, if you ever encourage Yue’er to lie again, I’ll rip your ear off.”
Song Sanxiao didn’t even try to defend himself, and slumped onto the table, staring angrily at Song Wangyue.
Song Wan Yue gave him a bright smile back, and Song San Xiao almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
……
The next day
After breakfast, everyone in the Song family, except Song San Xiao, went down to the ground.
It was autumn harvest time and the fields of the families were full of people, who greeted them when they saw them walking past on the road.
Master Song and Grandma Song responded all the way to their own fields and were preparing to work when one after another villagers came over, wanting to help with the work, even the village headman came over.
Old Master Song was terrified and pulled him to one side, “Village Chief, just don’t scare me, it’s a busy time for all the families, you should let them go back quickly.”
“It’s not a rush harvest, it doesn’t matter much if it’s a day early or late, but your family should hurry up and harvest so that they can go back and wait for the people who will report the good news.”
Master Song was so anxious that he bowed, “Village Chief, it’s really not necessary.
“A few days is too long, your crop must be finished within two days, otherwise you won’t have time to work when the people who will announce the joy come.”
“How can we not have time, we ……”
“What do you know? I’ve heard that as soon as the people come, all the wealthy people in the eight villages will come to pay their respects, and it is said that the county governor will also come personally. When the time comes, you will have to deal with them alone, where will you find the time to harvest the crops.”
“No, you won’t?”
“Why not? Don’t talk so much, hurry up and collect the crop.”
“Village head ……”
The old man Song was about to say something else when he saw a carriage coming from afar, followed by several ox carts, each with several young and strong boys sitting on it, all holding farming tools, Song San Xiao sitting on the front board of the carriage and was directing the driver to come this way.
“What is it?”
Seeing him froze, the village headman followed his gaze and also froze for a moment, “This is ……”
The carriage had stopped far away, and Xiao Si came forward, first helping Song San Xiao down carefully, and then opening the curtain, Gu Yi jumped down.
A long way away, he saw Song Wan Yue, happily waving towards her, “Little girl, I’ve brought someone to help!”
“Young Master Gu!”
The village chief looked at Elder Song in surprise, “Is this …… him?”
Elder Song didn’t know how to explain.
Song Lin quickly greeted him.
Gu Yi led the way.
“Uncle, my father said your leg is still not fully healed and you can’t do heavy work, so he asked me to bring someone to help.”
The people have come, it is not appropriate to send them back, Song Lin is not pretentious, “Okay, I will take the people over, the ground is dirty, you should not go over.”
“It’s okay.”
Gu Yi didn’t care at all, “I haven’t seen my aunt for a long time, so I’ll go over and say hello to her.”
Song Lin, ……
A dozen boys entered the field with brand new farming tools, and the villagers who had come to help stepped back and looked at the village head in unison.
Yesterday the village headman went to them and asked them to put their own work aside for a while to help the Song family collect, the people were eager to do so, without saying a word they agreed, originally thought that today they could fall in front of the Song family, and when Song Siwei won the imperial examination he could put the fields under his name, but the Gu family came so many people at once, they still help to collect or not?
“I say Song Gui, you’re not being generous.”
The village headman narrowed his eyes and saw Gu Yi greeting Song’s family, grandparents, aunts and uncles calling out with great affection, so he guessed that the marriage between their two families should be a done deal.
“Village chief, I ……”
The village headman waved his hand, “This is good, with their help, we can get all your family’s corn back home today.”
After saying that, he greeted the village people who were frozen, “What are you still standing there for, work!”
The people immediately took action, those who broke the corn broke the corn, those who grated the stalks grated the stalks, while the Song family was left idle with nothing to do.
“Boss, Lao Er, drive the ox cart to the next village and buy ten catties of meat and vegetables, Si Er and Shen Er you stay in the field with your grandfather, Boss and Lao Er daughter-in-law you two come with me to take Yue Er and Young Master Gu home to boil water.”
After a slight daze, Grandma Song ordered in an orderly manner.
The crowd headed out to the land.
When they were far away, the village headman pulled Elder Song aside, “I say, Song Gui, now that you are a family, you should find an opportunity to help talk about letting people from our village work at Elder Gu’s house as well.”
“This ……”
“Don’t do this and that, I’ll take care of it for you. Don’t worry, as long as Master Gu needs someone, I will pick the most competent people in the village.”
……
The three in-laws and daughter-in-law cooked dozens of large cakes and sent them to the field, along with water, to greet the people who were working feverishly and stopped to eat and drink.
In the distance, Song Ming stood at the head of his field and spat at him: what’s the big deal if he’s just befriending the Gu family? Look at the faces of the people in the village, especially the village headman, who is almost licking Gu Yi’s ass.
He turned his eyes and saw his own daughter-in-law and started to curse, “I’m unlucky to have bought you, you can’t work and you can’t even give birth to children.
Song Ming’s daughter-in-law ignored her, tugged Erma towards her and continued to do her work in silence.
“Bereaved star!”
Song Ming cursed and threw away the farming tools in his hands, lying down on the straw to one side.
On the second day, the straw was ploughed up, on the third and fourth days, the ground was turned over, and on the fifth day, the wheat was planted.
On this day, a team of magistrates entered the Song family village with gongs and went straight to the Song family.
Song San Xiao was the only one at home, and he was lying in bed wondering how he could steal some wine from Master Song’s house and drink it.
When he heard the sound of the gong, he sat up, jumped out of bed and ran outside without even putting on his shoes.
