"He's the only one in the village who's plowed his land. Maybe he'd be willing to lend it to us...
"But considering we're not familiar with them, we better not open our mouths casually."
Hearing this, Lu Fei looked down at Lu Hui, who didn't care about these things at all, and thought that it might be even more difficult than not being familiar with them!
Huang had no idea her daughter had bullied Qingtian before. As she walked back, she kept muttering, "If only we had a cow at home, we could plow the soil much faster..."
In fact, not every household in the village has the money to buy and raise cattle.
Generally speaking, families who don’t have oxen for plowing either borrow oxen from relatives or friends, or pay to rent oxen from other people.
Ye Laizi is not popular in the village, and in previous years he could only pay to rent a cow.
But this year, with Huang's free labor, he didn't even want to pay for renting the cow.
If you save the money on renting the cow, maybe you can even buy a few more pots of wine!
Anyway, I have already married my wife, so I might as well not use her.
Huang returned home with her two children and found Ye Laizi sleeping soundly in the house, with no sign of waking up.
She breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the pot and saw that there was still some millet porridge left over from Ye Laizi's breakfast, then she lit a fire, added a ladle of water to the pot and stirred it.
Then she put a steaming rack in the pot, took out three steamed buns and placed them on top, and planned to take out some pickled cabbage and cut it. That would be the lunch for the mother and her two daughters.
She was about to go outside to fish out the pickled cabbage lumps from the vat, but she found that only Lu Hui was in the room, and her son was nowhere to be seen. She hurriedly asked, "Huihui, where is Xiaofei?"
"My brother said he had something to do and asked me to go home with you. He will be back soon."
Huang was puzzled. Lu Fei might not even know anyone in the village. What could happen to a child like him?
"You light the fire, I'll go out and take a look." Huang said as she took off her apron and put it aside, then went out to look for her son.
Just now, halfway back, Lu Fei took another route.
He wanted to catch up with Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San, but unexpectedly, they did not go home directly, but went to the gate of the private school.
After all, what happened with Ye Laizi yesterday, the family is still quite worried about the safety of the children.
They went to the fields in the morning after sending their children here. When it was time to go home for lunch, they naturally had to pick up the children.
Before the two brothers reached the gate of the private school, they saw children from various families in the village running out of their houses.
The five children of the Ye family came out together and immediately ran over when they saw the two brothers.
"father!"
"Second uncle!"
"Third Uncle!"
The five people called for help together in a mess.
"Dad, why did you come to pick us up?" Ye Changxue felt that his family was really making a fuss. "We live in the village. It's such a short distance, but we still need our family to come and pick us up. People from other villages will definitely laugh at us if they see us."
"What are you kidding me about? People are envious of you!" Ye Lao San said, "Besides, being laughed at won't hurt you. Safety is the most important thing."
As Ye Laosan spoke, he picked up Ye Changnian and placed him on his shoulders.
Ye Changnian suddenly became happy.
Compared to his classmates' jokes, he obviously felt that the fact that his father came to pick him up and let him ride on his shoulders was more worthy of happiness and showing off.
"Okay, let's go home quickly. Even if you are not hungry, I am." Ye Laoer said it lightly, but in fact he had already looked around vigilantly. He relaxed a little after confirming that Ye Laizi was not nearby.
A few people were walking home when Lu Fei suddenly ran out from the side of the road.
Ye Laoer saw a dark shadow rushing out from the side of the road out of the corner of his eye, and his heart, which had just calmed down, was instantly tightened again.
He stepped forward and stood in front of the children.
Lu Fei couldn't stop and plunged into Ye Laoer's arms.
When he found out that the person coming was not Ye Lai Zi but Lu Fei, Ye Lao Er was obviously relieved.
However, the children at home all seemed to have a serious problem with Lu Fei. Ye Changxue even shouted, "What are you doing here? Let me tell you, my second uncle and my father are here today. You can't bully us!"
Because of the last time Lu Hui bullied Qingtian, Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San had a good impression of Lu Fei, who had always been very sensible.
After hearing what Ye Changxue said, Ye Lao Er put his hand on Lu Fei's shoulder and turned around to ask, "Has he bullied you too?"
"That's not the case..." Ye Changxue's voice suddenly became softer.
But soon he raised his voice very confidently and said, "His sister bullied Qingtian, which is equivalent to him bullying Qingtian.
"He bullied Qingtian, just like he bullied us!"
Ye Lao San was amused by his son's logic. He raised his hand and patted his head, saying, "How can you calculate it like that?"
Ye Lao Er said to Lu Fei, "Run slower, be careful not to fall."
After he said that, he let go of the hand that was holding Lu Fei and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Lu Fei.
"Second Uncle Ye..." Lu Fei's face flushed, he lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
He was a little embarrassed to speak up, but in order to save his mother some trouble, he still went after her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Ye Changxue brought up the incident of Lu Hui bullying Qingtian, making him even more at a loss as to how to start the conversation.
When Ye Changxue saw him like this, he became even angrier. Just as he was about to step forward, he was held back by Ye Laosan.
"Behave yourself."
Ye Lao Er lowered his head and asked, "Did you come here specifically to see us?"
He just thought that Lu Fei was just passing by and accidentally bumped into him!
Lu Fei nodded and whispered, "I'd like to ask if I can borrow your oxen for a few days. My mother is too tired to plow the fields alone.
