Chapter 10 Chapter 10 For the prince, feeding pigs? Little...
Xu Yunfan exhaled two streams of air from his nostrils. Very good, it seemed that he did not teach Aunt Li a lesson yesterday, so this Aunt Li did not take him seriously.
"Brother An, does Aunt Li always say bad things about your eldest brother?"
"Yeah." Qin An wiped his tears and nodded.
"Where is her home?"
"It's the house made of blue bricks, past the big locust tree at the entrance of the village." It's the only one of its kind in the village.
Xu Yunfan asked again, "Isn't there a scholar in her family? Does he have to go to the teacher's class every day?"
Qin An looked up at Xu Yunfan, "Is the brother-in-law talking about Li Tongsheng? He doesn't need to go to the academy these days. It's the busy farming season, so the academy is closed."
Xu Yunfan was satisfied, and used his wet hands to wipe Qin An's face directly, washing the little crying cat's tear-stained face clean.
How is Qin An stupid?
Can a fool do this, answering clearly and asking questions with answers?
I don’t know why the villagers say Qin An is a fool.
During the days when Xu Yunfan was lying in bed, Qin An served by his bedside, with his head hung low and not a word. He looked like he did have some minor problems.
But later he talked with Qin An. This kid was so nervous at first that he stuttered and couldn't speak, but now he speaks fluently. How can he be stupid?
It's probably just the gossips of the village spreading rumors.
Xu Yunfan thought to himself that there was no rush for this matter, so he would wait until the evening. When there were more people around, he would go and make trouble to see if the Li family had any shame.
When dealing with this kind of person, no matter how much you reason with her, it won't work. You have to be more irritable and noisy than she is in order to appease her.
Although Xu Yunfan is a soft-hearted person, it depends on the person.
Even though he is a third-generation rich man, it doesn't mean that he won't make trouble and values face more than gold.
Anyone who dares to provoke him, make him unhappy, or hurt him will be repaid tenfold.
"By the way, where did your elder brother go?" Xu Yunfan asked while chopping pig grass.
It is easy to prepare pig food for domestic pigs. Just chop up the pig grass and add a little rice bran or cornmeal to feed it.
Qin An squatted aside, acting as a technical instructor. "Brother has gone to the fields to harvest corn. Brother, chop it up a little more. You chopped it too long."
"Harvesting corn?" Xu Yunfan scraped the previously chopped pig grass back onto the chopping board and added a few cuts. "Is this okay?"
Qin An nodded, "Okay."
Xu Yunfan asked, "What's the next step? What should we do? Where are the pigs? Tell me what to do, and I'll feed them."
Under Qin An's guidance, Xu Yunfan carried a bucket of mixed pig feed and walked to the backyard.
Xiao Qin's backyard is not big, because there are no close neighbors around Xiao Qin's house, and there are no other houses behind it. There are several acres of land in the past, and the foot of the mountain in the past. Qin Run built the pigpen in the backyard, so that the smell will not drift into the house and it will not attract too many mosquitoes.
In the pigpen, there was a small black pig weighing about 40 kilograms. It was not afraid when it saw people coming. It ran over, raised its head, moved its nose, and kept grunting.
Xu Yunfan laughed, "This guy, he knows it's time to eat."
Under the wooden board on the side where they were standing was a pig trough made of stone.
The pig trough is about one meter long, not too wide, about twenty to thirty centimeters. The left side is tilted, and there is a hole at the bottom, which is blocked by corn cobs.
Normally, if the pigs cannot finish their feed, the remaining water or the remaining water when cleaning the pig trough can be drained from there.
When Xu Yunfan lifted the bucket to pour it out, the piglet lay on the wooden board with its front legs and kept nudging the bucket in Xu Yunfan's hand with its nose.
Many times, Xu Yunfan didn't know how to pour it, for fear that it would pour on the pig's head and be wasted.
Qin An, who was standing beside him, grabbed a wooden stick and hit the pig with it, knocking it down.
Xu Yunfan: “…”
The little guy is quite big, but he is a ruthless guy!
After Xu Yunfan poured out the pig feed, he found that the pigpen was quite clean and the pig manure was pushed into a pile. It was not the wet environment with flies and mosquitoes flying all over the place as he had imagined.
Perhaps because he had smelled it for so long that he no longer noticed its stench, Xu Yunfan did not vomit or vomit except for frowning in discomfort at the beginning.
It can be seen that this prince has strong adaptability and tolerance.
Look, he even knows how to feed pigs now.
Having successfully fed the pigs and finished his work, Xu Yunfan felt somewhat smug. As he returned with the bucket, he asked, "Is there anything else you need to feed at home? You can leave it to me without worry. I guarantee I can complete the task."
Qin An shook his head, his face flushed red, and he stammered, "No...no more. The chickens at home...we sold them a few days ago, leaving only a pig."
Knowing that the family is poor, will my brother-in-law be unhappy and leave?
But lying and deceiving others is even more wrong.
Xu Yunfan understood that his family had sold chickens to pay for a doctor for him.
During those days, because he had "reverted to childhood", his body was very weak. When Qin Run brought him back, he fell into a trap, sprained his ankle, and had a fever.
In ancient times, even a minor illness like fever could be fatal.
Xu Yunfan was the husband sent by God. How could Qin Run just watch him burn to death? Not only did he spend all his savings to sell his chickens and ducks, he also killed the last hen that he had raised for three years to lay eggs for him to nourish his body.
Those chickens were raised by Qin An who had worked hard to dig earthworms and feed them. In the end, he didn't get to eat a single piece of meat, as all of it was eaten by Xu Yunfan.
But Qin An didn't get angry. Speaking of this, he smiled and asked Xu Yunfan if the chicken he raised at home was delicious and if the chicken soup was fragrant.
Facing Qin An's smile, Xu Yunfan couldn't tell what he felt. He just felt as if something was blocking his heart, making him uncomfortable and having difficulty breathing.
He asked, "You didn't get any? Didn't you drink the chicken soup?"
He remembered that he ate chicken and drank chicken soup for two consecutive days. After he felt less weak, he ate wild vegetable dumplings for a few days in a row.
“No!”
Qin An was silly, but he kept smiling, "I want to leave it for my brother-in-law to replenish his body."
Because the weather was hot, half a chicken was cooked on the first day. Qin Run asked Qin An if he wanted to eat it. Qin An shook his head sensibly and said no, he wanted to leave it for his brother-in-law. Qin Run then hung the remaining half in the well and kept it for cooking the next day.
It’s not that Qin Run doesn’t love his brother, but Xu Yunfan is seriously ill.
Xu Yunfan's eyes were filled with tears. How could he have deserved such kindness from the Qin brothers?
Xu Yunfan said nothing and washed his hands. "Where is your brother harvesting corn? Take me there."
"I know."
Qin An's knees didn't hurt as much as yesterday. He made a move to lead the way, but Xu Yunfan stopped him. "Just tell me. You can just wait at home. You don't have to go."
When it's time to harvest corn, every household and everyone who can work in the fields goes out to work.
Moreover, no matter where they go to collect, everyone will call their friends and go together to collect.
There is no way. There are a lot of rats in the cornfield. If all the crops in the neighboring fields are harvested, and my own cornfield is not harvested, how much food will be eaten by the rats if it is delayed for a day or two?
Therefore, there were also many villagers in the fields next to the corn field where Qin Run was harvesting.
Xu Yunfan arrived at the place Qin An mentioned. He looked around and was surprised to see so many cornfields. Which one belonged to Xiao Qin's family?
The people in the fields were busy, and with the corn leaves blocking their view, they were so busy working that they had no time to look back.
Xu Yunfan stood there for a while, listening to the rustling sounds coming from the ground. He gathered his energy and roared, "Run'er, where are you? If you hear me, please answer me."
Xu Yunfan's roar was so loud that everyone who heard it stopped what they were doing and asked the people around them, "Boss, why do I seem to hear someone calling Run Ge'er?"
Decades ago, the Qin clan fled to Dali Village, and most of the wasteland they reclaimed was connected together. It can be said that most of the nearly 100 acres of land nearby belonged to the Qin clan.
Because the Li and Sun clans are xenophobic, the Qin clan is united and tied together like a rope.
At this time, someone was heard calling Run Ge'er. No matter who it was, Uncle Qin and others who heard it put down their work and walked out of the cornfield.
Suddenly, more than a dozen uncles and brothers came out. Xu Yunfan was stunned, thinking that he had called out the right words just now. Looking at their posture, it seemed like they were going to beat him up.
Of course, even if someone wanted to gang up on him, Xu Yunfan, who had been trained, would not be afraid.
When the people who came out saw the outstanding temperament and appearance of the woman, whose extraordinary looks could not be hidden even if she was wearing a coarse linen shirt, they were stunned for a moment.
Before this, they had only heard that Run Ge'er carried back a very handsome young man.
As for what kind of a good opinion it was, they didn't know, but they thought it was similar to that of the student from the Li family!
Li Jia Tongsheng is considered the most handsome man in their village. Even the village beauty is determined to marry him.
But they didn't expect that when they saw Xu Yunfan now, they realized that Xu Yunfan was so handsome, really handsome. With him around, there was no place for Li Tongsheng!
They were too embarrassed to ask such a person if he was looking for Run Ge'er.
Xu Yunfan took a quick look. Wow, none of these uncles were people he knew. Fortunately, he saw Grandma Qin and immediately put on a harmless smile. "Grandma Qin, you're here too. I'm here to look for Run'er. Which piece of land does he have?"
When Grandma Qin saw Xu Yunfan, she was still a little uncertain. Then she heard him ask, "Are you here to help harvest the corn? Is your foot okay?"
Xu Yunfan smiled and nodded, "Yeah! My feet don't hurt anymore." It was because his feet didn't hurt anymore that he ran yesterday.
Grandma Qin's kind face revealed a relieved expression. "I pointed out to you that Run'er was harvesting this piece of land today. His plot of land is long and not wide, so he harvested it over there a long time ago. That's why he didn't hear you calling him!"
In Grandma Qin's opinion, Xu Yunfan's willingness to help showed that he was willing to do so and he probably really intended to stay.
The others were still looking at Xu Yunfan. Xu Yunfan was smiling, looking less distant than his temperament and more approachable and kind. "The uncles are all here. Everyone, go ahead and do your work. I have things to do. I'll chat with you guys next time when I have time."
If you didn't know Xu Yunfan, you would think he was a leader who got along well with his subordinates.
After saying that, Xu Yunfan rushed into the cornfield to find Qin Run.
