Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Hua Ni led the way, and the carriage followed her slowly. The villagers in the field were shocked. Everyone stood up and looked around. They couldn't believe that the business they got was obtained by the poorest family in the village. Could it be a relative of the Hua family?

They all fled here from various places, and they are not very close to each other. No one knows the past of the Hua family.

"Huani, did your family originally live in Yangshu Village?"

Sitting in the carriage without ventilation, Li Haitang moved around, got off the carriage and walked with Hua Ni, asking about the customs and customs here.

Those boys just bullied Hua Ni, which made her very unhappy. It showed that these children did not have any good tutors. At such a young age, they should be innocent and innocent, but they have become so snobbish.

"My mother said that my family moved here when I was three years old."

Hua Ni has no memory of her childhood. She remembers growing up here.

The Hua family was a latecomer to the whole village. They could only find open space near the mountainside, surrounded by lush wild grass. Her father carved out a piece of land and built a thatched house, and the family of three settled down.

There is a lot of wasteland around Yangshu Village, the land is barren, the land is not fertile, and the harvest is not good. They rely on two acres of thin fields all year round, and they can make ends meet, but if they want something, they have no money to buy it.

In the past, Huani's father had good legs and feet. He often went to the mountains to collect herbs, then processed them and sent them to the surrounding towns. He could exchange them for some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, needles and thread, and occasionally hunted a few game animals to improve the food at home. But since his father After hurting her leg, her family's life was very tight.

Hua Ni knew that there was a family in the village who was living a good life, and it was related to passers-by sleeping in the open, so she became concerned about it, but she also knew her family's conditions, so she still felt a little guilty.

"It's okay, we're just borrowing the kitchen."

Hua Ni is a bit cautious, but Li Haitang doesn't resent it. If it weren't for this, children from poor families would really be bullied to death.

Xiangli liked Hua Ni very much and even grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the carriage. Hua Ni carefully put them in her pocket and thanked Xiangli, but she was reluctant to eat them.

Melon seeds are spiced, delicious and not irritating. She has never eaten melon seeds with a salty taste. She tasted one and wanted to share the rest with her parents.

The carriage went all the way to the foot of the mountain. The mountain on which Huani's house is located is not high and has a gentle slope. The mountain is full of weeds and short trees. Even if it rains, there is no need to worry about landslides.

The courtyard of the Hua family is very large. Even though there is a thatched house inside, the courtyard wall is different. It is made of stones and is very high. From the outside, only the thatched roof can be seen.

"My father said that the stone courtyard wall is strong, so if a wild beast comes down from the mountain, the house will be safe."

The door of Huani's house is also made of several thick wooden boards and is covered with iron sheets.

Her father wanted to build the courtyard wall and build a few more stone houses, but his leg was broken by a falling tree. Because he had no money to pay for a doctor, his crooked bones never grew properly, and now he can no longer do heavy labor. .

"Dad, Mom, I'm bringing guests back!"

Hua Ni shouted at the door, then opened the door so that the carriage could enter through the door.

"Huani, are you in trouble?"

Her house is in the most remote location in the village, and she doesn't usually interact with the villagers. Where are the guests?

Hua Ni's mother, Mrs. Zhou, wiped her hands and came out of the thatched house. She saw that the door was pushed open and three or two carriages came inside.

"Sister-in-law, excuse me."

Zhou looked to be in her early twenties, a few years older than Li Haitang, with soft eyebrows. She was also wearing shabby clothes that had been washed white, but judging from her conversation and demeanor, she really didn't look like an ordinary village woman.

Li Haitang said hello to Mr. Zhou and explained his intention.

The sky was dark and it was about to rain. They could not continue their journey and wanted to find a place to rest for the night.

Of course, you don't have to live in the house, but you have to borrow the stove, and they will give you money for firewood.

"It's just a borrowed kitchen. It's not worth the money. We can get firewood in the back mountain for free."

Mrs. Zhou waved her hand, saying that her family was poor, but they were just borrowing the yard and kitchen, so she couldn't do anything to ask for money.

Mrs. Zhou refused to take advantage, and Li Haitang had a better impression of her, because this was really rare.

"Huani, have you eaten?"

Li Haitang heard Hua Ni's stomach growling and asked casually.

"Eat...have eaten."

Hua Ni blinked. She had eaten in the morning. Although it was busy farming, there was not much work at home. She only had to catch insects and feed the chickens, and could only eat one meal a day.

If you are hungry, there are a lot of cucumbers in the backyard. Bite one, it will be sweet and very filling.

There is no shortage of food at home in summer. My mother said that they do this to save food for winter, because they are afraid that there will be no harvest in winter and the family will be hungry.

Therefore, the endless vegetables in the vegetable patch in the backyard are either dried and dried, or pickled for winter consumption.

Li Haitang touched Hua Ni's head with his hand, but sighed in his heart, it was still the fault of poverty.

When Zhou saw a group of people coming to her home, she went out to fetch water. There was no well at home, so she had to go to the river on the other side of the village entrance.

"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'm strong."

Wufu took the bucket and went to the village to fetch water, while Xiaolingchuan went to the back mountain. His wife was living a small life now, and it was going to rain again at night, so she had to cook some meat to supplement her nutrition.

Looking at the conditions of the Hua family, there must be no meat, so they can only be self-sufficient.

"Wufu, I'll go with you."

After Dou Bao had been riding in the carriage for a day, he wanted to go out for a walk. Li Haitang felt the same way and it would not be good to let the little Baozi stay in the carriage, so she thought about carrying him out for a walk.

The master and servant went out, and Hua Ni led them to the river in the village.

Along the way, I met the little fat boy Wang again. The guest was intercepted by the Hua family. The little fat boy was scolded and slapped twice by his parents for this. He was holding a grudge in his heart at the moment. When he saw Hua Ni, Not in a good mood.

"Go away and don't stop us from getting water."

The little fat man blocked the way in front, and Hua Ni was annoyed. It was dark now, and there wasn't much lamp oil at home, so we couldn't let the guests cook in the dark.

"Huani, why are you talking to me? Do you think you can become a rich person just because your family receives guests?"

The little fat man sneered, thinking of what his mother said, "Your family is a poor family. Your parents can no longer support you. They will definitely send you to my house to be a child bride!"

Although Hua Ni was young, she also knew what a child bride represented. Her eyes immediately became red and tears almost flowed out.

Without saying a word, she tried to go around the little fat man, but the little fat man obviously refused to let her go, and continued, "Look, don't forget, your family still owes our family money. It is only natural to pay back debts. If you don’t have money, just use yourself to pay off the debt!”

"You... are talking nonsense!" Hua Ni was young after all and couldn't hold her breath. She immediately spoke and retorted loudly.
