"Sun Houpu has been to Hebei for so long and he hasn't come back yet. Didn't he say that he only went there for three months at first? It's been several months now. Did he meet his new love and forget about you?"
Liang Chuan didn't want to mention anyone, but he chose to talk about this rich young master. Zheng Ruoying's face sank and she looked at Liang Chuan fiercely: "Do you really want me to marry that person?"
Liang Chuan looked at the food and said, "Wouldn't it be better to marry him? My family is rich and I'm handsome. I think it's not a bad match for you."
Zheng Ruoying's good mood was completely shattered by him. Sitting at the guest table, her eyes started to water, and she didn't move her chopsticks. They just looked straight at Liang Chuan.
Why is this man so cruel? Even if he has a wife, he doesn't expect to marry him again. But he doesn't understand why he wants to marry someone else. If he marries someone else, he will never be able to marry him again in this life Is there still a chance to meet? .
Liang Chuan saw that the chopsticks on the table were motionless and glanced at Zheng Ruoying. He didn't know what to do. He was startled when he saw it. He was so surprised that he burst into tears. In front of a large audience, others thought he had done something to her.
"Why are you crying?"
"I hate you!"
"Why do you hate me? Wipe it off quickly. If you cry again, I won't take you out next time."
Only then did Zheng Ruoying take out her brocade handkerchief and wipe her tears, then picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites of the food.
"I have to do a lot of things in the afternoon, so I need to eat more. I will be hungry later but there will be no place to eat."
Zheng Ruoying knew that this 'bad guy' was not a sympathetic person at all. In his opinion, women could do anything a man could do, as if it were natural. If he wanted him to pity him because his limbs were hungry or his feet were tired and his legs hurt, then It's wishful thinking.
One afternoon, Liang Chuan led Zheng Ruoying for a walk on the street. When he saw someone selling a cow, he went up and asked if the cow was good or bad. Look at the coat. If the cow is smooth and shiny, it must be a good cow. Just like people, if a person is sick, their skin will be rough and dull, and if a cow is sick, the fur will be messy and dry. Another thing is to look at the cow’s teeth and hooves. A good cow will grow very strong in these parts.
This knowledge was occasionally mentioned by their teacher in class, but mechanization was popular in Liangchuan's era. Except for a few remote places, there were few cattle raisers and even fewer cattle were used.
Zheng Ruoying and the other two led two cows back to their home. Liang Chuan was so trivial about driving cows. How could Zheng Ruoying know how to handle cows? The cow's tail flicked in her face, almost frightening her to death. She screamed and dropped the cow rope. He ran away. Liang Chuan, who was watching next to her, laughed heartily. Passers-by saw such a beautiful girl, dressed in bright clothes, and followed others holding the cow rope, and stopped to watch. They were also overjoyed to see this scene.
Helpless, Liang Chuan could only spend a few dollars and hired an old man to help lead the cow back. When the old man took Liang Chuan's money, he almost smiled. You can make money by leading a cow! When he was happy, he led four cows by himself, not to mention that he had two brushes in this old way. The four cows were led by him, and they followed the two people with a flick of the whip. Slowly walked towards He Lu.
"Actually, cows are very docile, much better than horses. As soon as you pull the ring on the cow, it will go east, if you ask it west, it will go west. Do you want to listen or not?"
Liang Chuan also introduced the technical essentials of this morning glory to Zheng Ruoying in a serious manner.
Zheng Ruoying's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she still hasn't recovered from her anger: "I wish I could put a nose ring on your nose! Look, you're still bullying me! Look, you're still disobedient!"
The old man looked at the young couple bickering and grinned from behind.
Liang Chuan looked back at the old man and said, "Old man, don't misunderstand, this is not what you think!"
The old man from Morning Glory said with a smile: "What you said is yours, I didn't hear anything because of my deaf ears, but young people should cherish it, because when we are old, some things can only be kept in our hearts!"
After returning home, Liang Chuan asked Zhaodi to notify He Lu's four corps commanders to come over. When He Dali and the others came over, they looked at the four cows held by Liang Chuan and were a little strange. Didn't the captain plan to go to Qingyuan to make a lot of money? Why did he buy cows? Could it be that he had figured it out and planned to become a rich man in Helu? Yet.
"There is no war now. You all probably have nothing to do. You still have to work at home. So I bought a few cows. Your current task is to help me raise the cows. These four cows belong to the academy. , I will plow the land of the academy in the future. I will keep it for you first, and your team members can also borrow plowing oxen if they need it."
Liang Chuan briefly talked about the cows, and then asked them if they had any questions. It turned out that He Lu had five teams, but later there were deaths and injuries, and the teams were reorganized, and only four were left.
Of course there was no problem for the team members. They were overjoyed. It would be much more convenient for the team members to farm at their homes with a cow.
"Captain, how long will we keep this cow?"
He Dali asked. He didn't usually like to talk much at this time, but his heart was full of fire and he focused on key points.
"Keep it for now. I will need cows myself when the time comes. I will tell you when I need them. Don't lose your cows. If there are cows that are sick or something and you need money, just come to me. Don't throw them away." Do you understand that the cow will die for me?"
The price of these cattle is not cheap, ranging from seven to eight pounds per head. How can an ordinary farmer family afford it? It's not that Liang Chuan is reluctant to part with the money, it's just that cattle are easy to buy now. After a while, the cattle will die. At that time, the farming will be busy, and no matter how much money he has, he can't buy cattle.
"Captain, don't worry. This cow is distributed to the team members. The team members treat it as an ancestor. If you are hungry, you don't dare to let this ancestor starve. Let alone get sick. There are only a few cows in our village. , Baozheng, that old cow, values it as much as life, doesn’t it mean we don’t understand because we are young?”
"Then I'm relieved. If you want to use the cow, you must discuss and arrange the time. The team members will follow the arrangement of the team leader, and the team leader cannot hide his secrets. Do you know, if you let me know that you have hurt your harmony because of this cow, I will I can’t spare you!”
Liang Chuan remembered that during the People's Commune period, these cattle and farm tools were collectively owned by the communes. Many commune members would have conflicts over the right to use cattle and farm tools. It was not clear who came first and who came last, and they would fight. This could Not good.
"We are all brothers who have experienced life and death together. There is no need to get upset over such trivial matters. We must obey the overall situation and be courteous to each other."
Liang Chuan said earnestly.
"Don't worry, we are not so cautious."
The members of a team are all selected by themselves, and are either good friends or relatives of the clan, so there should not be a big problem on this issue.
"If something goes wrong, remember our team rules, I can only handle it according to military law."
Liang Chuan finally resorted to a big killing weapon. Don't be strict, everyone thinks Liang Chuan is easy to talk to.
The four corps commanders took the cows back happily. There were cows and a water tanker. Nowadays, farm work is no longer what it used to be. It was unimaginable that we could live like this. It was unimaginable before.
Liang Chuan turned his head and looked at Zheng Ruoying. This girl had been walking with him all day, and now she was sitting by the gate, hammering her calf.
Liang Chuan walked over, lifted her calf, and gently kneaded it for her with his hands. This action transcended the pure friendship between men and women. It shocked Zheng Ruoying to the point that the little deer in her heart almost broke through her chest, and her blood surged. Rushing to my brain, my eyes were hazy for a while, and my breathing seemed to have stopped at this moment.
How could he do this. . . Men and women can accept each other without being intimate. .
"Why do you, a eldest lady, bother? If you don't want to sit in a nice sedan chair or ride a big horse, a rough guy like me can only endure hardship. I can't stand it after walking for a day."
Liang Chuan's hands were as thick as mulberry bark in winter, broad and warm. Kneading them gently made people feel extra at ease and comfortable. His words were gentle and calm, without even the slightest fluctuation. On the contrary, he couldn't say a word. This is not to take advantage of himself, otherwise he would have escaped long ago, Zheng Ruoying told herself.
"I do."
Zheng Ruoying's confused words made Liang Chuan confused. Liang Chuan looked up at Zheng Ruoying. Her face was like a ripe persimmon at the time of frost. She bit her lower lip gently and looked at him with a look of resentment.
"What's wrong with you?"
Liang Chuan squeezed her for a while, then slowly put her hand down and said, "Hurry up and go home to eat. It's been a day since you left. You don't have to come over these days. I'll make the candy twists and the chain pot." Okay, once the stove is built, you can come and watch again."
Liang Chuan called He Baozheng to send the girl away. He was not worried about letting her go back to Fengshan again. The poor little girl turned her head three times in the car. There was endless reluctance in her eyes, which made Liang Chuan wonder, does this girl like him?
Liang Chuan thought about this problem in his mind, and suddenly realized this problem, if this matter was true. .
Really, no wonder this woman keeps saying those nonsense words and treats her as a friend, but in the end she wants to have her own ideas. If this is true, then it would be strange if her father didn't dismantle her. . .
Zheng Yiqian is very ambitious. He is such a precious daughter, and he must not marry anyone with a lower status than the Zheng family. Who is Liang Chuan? At best, he has a well-fed child. With such a family background, if he wants to take advantage of his daughter, does he want to make him angry to death?
Liang Chuan himself felt that something was wrong. He already had a wife. .
The sun was almost setting, and Yi Niang didn’t know where she was. Liang Chuan walked around the house several times but couldn't find her.
"Where did the artist go?"
Liang Chuan asked Li Erhua, "This girl can't lie to others. If you tell me something, it won't be wrong to ask her."
"Oh, she went to the back mountain to burn charcoal."
Burning charcoal? Only then did Liang Chuan remember that winter was coming soon and he had forgotten his old profession.
