Chapter 180 If the sky falls, just lie down
Sanlang has always been a fragile person. He was so scared that he burst into tears when he heard this. He quickly got out of the carriage and shouted loudly to Qin Yao who was sitting on the ox cart in front:
"Mother!"
Qin Yao heard what Old Man Liu said. She had survived all kinds of natural disasters and mutated zombies and plants in the apocalypse and was as steady as an old dog.
He smiled gently and said to Sanlang: "Don't be afraid. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. If the sky collapses, just lie down."
Sanlang immediately put his heart back into his round belly.
Old man Liu was startled, and his closed heart suddenly opened up.
What's the use of worrying?
What is coming will come, just be prepared to deal with it, life must go on!
When people think positively, they start laughing.
Looking at Qin Yao who was idly enjoying the scenery on the ox cart, Old Man Liu suddenly became a little curious about what kind of past she had that could make her so open-minded.
The group arrived at Liujia Village in the evening. There was clearly only one horse-drawn carriage when they left, but when they came back there was an ox-drawn cart. Zhang and others who stayed at home were completely confused.
But it goes without saying that it must have been bought by Qin Yao's family.
He jumped off the cart and saw Qiu coming out with the child in her arms. She said happily,
"My third brother's wife bought another ox cart and agreed to lend it to us. When the time comes, we can take the cart to my parents' home to announce the good news!"
When Mrs. Qiu heard this, she smiled gently. Her sister-in-law was still so kind.
But why did my third brother's wife buy a bullock cart?
Could it be for plowing the fields?
Liu Zhong walked into the yard carrying his things and saw his wife and children standing outside in the cold wind. He hurriedly asked her to go back inside.
He placed the things under the eaves outside the main hall, raised his head and smiled at Qiu, and whispered to himself, "Yao Niang is buying a cow to plow the land."
Liu Ji came in carrying something and heard what was going on. He sneered, "What's the matter? Are you jealous, second brother?"
Liu Zhongcai was not envious, and mocked: "You can't even cultivate ten acres of land, and you still have the nerve to say that."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? My wife can afford to buy cows to plow the land. How awesome!" Liu Ji said proudly, patting his chest.
Liu Zhong was too lazy to talk to him, so he called Liu Fei out to help move the things, and waved his hand at Liu Ji in disdain, "Go, go, go, go home quickly!"
Zhang stood up and said, "Where are you going? Stay home and eat before you leave. It will be troublesome to go back and cook so late."
Although these words were directed at Liu Ji, they were actually meant for Qin Yao and her son to hear.
Qin Yao responded from outside the door: "Let's go home to eat. The cattle and horses still need to be settled. You can eat by yourselves."
Zhang tried to keep her for a while, but Qin Yao refused because she thought it was too troublesome. She had to take the cattle and horses home first and she was too lazy to run back.
Anyway, it's not like there's no one at home to cook.
The smile that Liu Ji had just raised collapsed in an instant. He walked into the main room and took a look at Liu Zhong's son Damao. The baby was soft and chubby, wearing a tiger-head hat. He was wrapped tightly by his mother, leaving only his fair and tender little face exposed.
She fell asleep at the moment. When she heard the noises around her, she pursed her lips nervously. Her little mouth was so rosy that it made people's hearts melt.
Under the nervous gaze of Liu Zhong and his wife, Liu Ji quickly reached out and poked Damao's face, then left contentedly.
As soon as he left, Liu Zhong immediately ran forward to check on his son. Mrs. Qiu was amused by his reaction and said with a smile:
"Who can eat your son? Why are you so nervous? The third brother just touched him lightly. Our son is fine."
Liu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his son was indeed sleeping well. He looked towards the door and saw Liu Ji turning around and giving him a provocative smile, which made Liu Zhong so angry that he wanted to beat him up.
Unfortunately, before he could reach the door, the couple, each driving a car, had already gone far away with the child.
He stood at the door and shouted, "Third sister-in-law, I will come to lead the cow tomorrow morning!"
"Got it!" Qin Yao responded loudly.
He looked down at the big blue ox in front of him and whispered, "From now on, the land at home will be handed over to you. Come on, little blue ox!"
Si Niang poked her head out of the carriage and shouted to Qin Yao, "Mother, let's call it Lao Qing!"
Qin Yao smiled helplessly. She was addicted to naming things. "Okay, let's call him Lao Qing."
After getting her mother's acknowledgement, the little girl laughed happily.
The laughter kept echoing in the dim twilight. Erlang and Sanlang rubbed their arms together. It sounded creepy.
The family of six returned home, packed up their things, and settled the cows and horses. By the time they finished dinner, it was already late at night. They simply washed up and went back to their rooms to fall asleep.
Early the next morning, He and Liu Bo brought Jin Bao to lead the ox cart.
Qin Yao hadn't gotten up yet, but Liu Ji, who was forced to study hard, woke up early and was reciting his lessons in the room.
He came out with a forehead band that read "Wenquxing protect me" on it, and held an oversized manuscript in his left hand, muttering to himself. He opened the door and pointed to the backyard with his free hand, told them to get the cart themselves, and then opened the back door to lead the cow.
During the whole process, he only glanced at Liu Bo's family of three. After confirming that it was them, his eyes were glued to the book, and then he floated back to his room like a wandering soul.
Liu Bo's family of three looked at each other in shock. Just as they stepped into Qin Yao's door, Liu Ji suddenly appeared in front of them again, raised his hand, put it to his lips and made a "hush" gesture.
Liu Bo's family of three nodded in understanding, glanced at the master bedroom with the door still closed, covered their mouths, crouched down, and went to the backyard to harness the ox cart like thieves.
When they were done, Liu Ji suddenly appeared again, stood at the gate, waved at them, and then closed the door neatly.
After a while, the sound of pots and pans colliding was heard from inside.
"Jinbao!" Liu Bo called his son.
Jinbao, with his ear pressed against the gate, listened for a few seconds before running onto the ox cart.
As soon as he sat down, he started gesticulating and describing, "Dad, Mom, is my third uncle possessed? Not only does he get up early to study, he even went into the kitchen to make breakfast!"
This was beyond the little guy's understanding of his uncle. His eyes widened to express his shock.
Let alone him, Liu Bo and He were both terrified, mumbling absentmindedly: "It seems that the third brother has really changed."
The twelfth day of the first lunar month arrives.
Today is the day when the old house holds a full moon banquet for Damao.
It was rare for Qin Yao to get up so early - mainly because He came over and yelled like a ghost before daybreak.
"Benches, tables, bowls and chopsticks. Oh, and bring the kitchen knife. The one you have is really useful!"
After hurriedly giving instructions, He rushed to the next house.
Qin Yao yawned, walked to the door of Liu Ji's room, and pulled him out, "The benches, tables, bowls, chopsticks, and kitchen knives, take them all to the old house, quickly!"
Liu Ji was disturbed from studying, but he didn't dare to say a word. He just agreed, put the book down, and before walking out of the room, he looked back at the paragraph he had just memorized to confirm whether it was correct.
Qin Yao came to the children's room and whispered to them to go to the old house to find food after getting up, then she and Liu Ji took the tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans and left.
