Chapter 59 Reform through Labor
Among the snowflakes, the couple trembled, kneeling in the yard with grievance and did not dare to move anymore. The cold wind whistled, rolling up a burst of snowflakes and scattered randomly. After a while, the two of them had white leaves on their heads and shoulders.
Tao stood under the eaves with his hands and looked at his son kneeling on the ground. She didn't move, and the three sons who were with her next to him did not dare to go back to his house. Several people stood under the eaves and looked at the two people kneeling in the yard together.
As Tao looked at it, tears flowed out again. She shivered and wiped away the tears with her sleeves. She wanted to go forward and pull up her son, but she was afraid that her husband in the room would not dare to go forward and couldn't help crying.
Yao Sanzhu heard his mother's crying, and started crying without raising his head, his voice even more sad than his mother.
Yao Tiezhu and his wife sighed silently when they saw his mother's appearance, and could only continue to persuade Tao. Tao cried for a while, and returned to the house with the help of his sons.
The winter is short, and it is already dark outside. Even if it snows, it is not much brighter. It is so quiet outside that you can even hear the sound of snowflakes falling.
Yao Sanzhu and Bao were kneeling on the ground, feeling that their bodies were as if they were soaked in well water, and they were almost gone. Yao Sanzhu trembled and raised his head. Seeing that the oil lamp in the upper room was on, the brothers did not come out of it, and they didn't know how they were trying to persuade them to make peace. If you don't hurry up, he would be frozen to death. Alas!
Now his intestines were regretful. If he knew that his father would get so angry, he would not have said the word "divided family" even if he was beaten to death just now.
I don’t know how long I knelt, but Dad Yao sighed in the room and finally told them to go back to their house. After all, the weather was cold and cold, which was not as good as before. If I really knelt down, it would be more than worth the loss.
The couple knelt for so long, and their legs were already numb. Yao Tiezhu came out and saw that they were so embarrassed that they could hardly get up, so they had to go forward and support them.
In the west wing, Guoer and Wulin did not go to the kang to rest. Wulin slipped back when they were making noises in the room. Now he leaned against Guoer, and the two siblings kept observing the situation outside through the crack in the door.
Seeing his parents being punished to kneel in the snow, Wulin pouted and wanted to cry, but Guoer said tears were gone.
He sniffed, and his small body was closer to Guoer. After all, he was a child, so he was not so scared if he had a backbone around him.
Guoer had never been worried from beginning to end. She even hoped that this time, Mr. Yao would beat her parents hard, and it would be best to eliminate the unrealistic thoughts in their minds at once. Only by completely suppressing the most restless factors at home can everyone have a quiet and good life in the future.
It’s not that she is cruel. She has experienced so much in her previous life, and this thing in front of her is nothing in her eyes.
After being severely dealt with by Yao Dad, Yao Sanzhu and Bao's confidence in wanting to separate the family was completely destroyed. In the following days, the couple was stared at by his father and started labor reform. All the major issues of pickling cabbage and radish at home were handed over to them.
The Yao family has a large population, and the cabbage and radish that need to be pickled every year is two large jars. Usually, people from three families get started together and can only finish it after two days.
In order to add flavor and make it easier to taste, cabbage needs to be cut into shreds; although the radish does not need to be cut into shreds, just wash it and cut it into pieces with a knife, but you need to marinate a large jar of radish, and you need to simmer back and forth several times in the middle.
Now all these jobs are Yao Sanzhu and Bao. Under the personal supervision of Dad Yao, the two of them were so tired that they could not straighten their waists after a few days. Finally, they filled all the two large jars that were thick with their waists in the yard.
After finishing the pickled vegetables work, Dad Yao immediately assigned other work to Yao Sanzhu, the pigs, a few chickens and the calves he had just bought, and he would feed them in the future.
The pigs and chickens at home are usually very tight. No matter which room it is for feeding, the Dou will keep a close eye on the side three times a day. Even if the family is well-off now, there is no need to expect the few eggs harvested every day to come back for some change, but the habit that has been developed over the years cannot be changed.
But when the third brother feeds chickens and pigs alone, Dow can't help but come forward to help.
As for the cow, Yao Tiezhu and Yao Erzhu took turns to feed it after they bought it. They were not at ease to leave it to others. So when Yao Sanzhu was feeding the cows, the two brothers naturally had to watch from the side and simply helped feed them together.
Bao's life is not so good. It's her turn to cook this month.
In fact, it was her turn this month. Bao opened his mouth and was very versatile. Whenever he stayed in the workshop, he would pull He and Liu to go home together.
He and Liu were easy to get along with each other, but now they don’t say anything because of the relationship. When they come back, they go into the kitchen to get started. In the end, they often take action, so Bao is responsible for selling his mouth aside.
These days, Tao was staring at her working with anger. Not to mention going to the workshop, she couldn't even go to the door of her house. When it was time to eat, she urged her to enter the kitchen. He and Liu couldn't even step into the kitchen door.
Bao sometimes was so angry that he deliberately dug two more spoonfuls of oil when cooking, and only scooped white flour without mixing black noodles. When Tao found out, he was so angry that he scolded "the prodigal women don't know how to be frugal." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy all day long.
When the second snow fell in winter was so refreshing, and it was only a few days before the end of the year. Yaojia Embroidery Workshop completed the last batch of embroidery work.
When this batch of embroidery work is sent to Jinxiufang, the workshop can be disbanded and prepared for the New Year with peace of mind. As for when to take on the job again, it depends on the cooperation with Jinxiufang after the New Year.
Bao returned to the west wing these days and stared at Guo'er and stopped talking. Guo'er couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he simply ignored it and let her wink in front of her and just ignore it.
Bao had no choice but to ask this daughter, who was becoming more and more calm, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Gua'er, this time I'm going to deliver goods in the city, can you tell your grandfather and ask me and your father to accompany you? You can't bother your second uncle and the others every time? It seems that your father and I are lazy and do not contribute to the family.
Besides, our family of four hasn't gone out together for a long time. The Chinese New Year is coming, and my mother has not bought a lot of things. She wants to buy some good materials for you brothers and sisters to make two new clothes to wear. I also want to change two new bedding in our house."
Yao Sanzhu hurriedly followed, "Yes, yes, your mother is right, Guoer, I have been so bored at home these days. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we are not ready. Why don't you go with your mother and you accompany you this time, and take your second uncle and the others to rest. Do you think it's okay?"
The couple stared at Guoer together, with obvious hope in their eyes.
It turned out that he was thinking about this! Guo'er felt secretly amused when she heard this. Her parents were really in a tacit understanding in many ways.
