Half a month later, all the grains of the three families were harvested, and all the corn stalks in the fields were also returned. It was already decided that their fields would be planted with herbs next year.
They can no longer grow food, which means they will have no food to eat next year. So after harvesting everything, the three of them went to open up wasteland.
This job is quite urgent. If you want to plant it next year, you must first mature the ground this year, which means you have to plow it all over.
Zhao Xiaojing is currently shucking corn at home, and will have to hand in the mission rations in a while.
She has already agreed with Factory Manager Feng that she will still hand over corn cobs this year. You cannot grind the corn kernels out by yourself.
Feng Baoshan is also willing to do this. The corn cobs collected can be used to organize those who want to make money to work during the winter slack.
This way everyone is happy and can make money.
The Zhao family and his son have opened up about ten acres of land. This is enough for them to eat.
"Dad, let's plant ten acres of wheat next year." Let the children eat more refined grains.
Zhao Tian has no objection. The eldest son has his own destiny.
Now there is no life in the fields. They are also shucking corn at home.
Sun Yun was stingy and thought that he would not hand over the corn cobs directly this year, so he peeled off the corn cobs and dried them in the yard.
Now few farms have finished their work, so they have to spend money to hire people quickly.
After more than ten days, all the work at Zhao Qingxiang's house was finished.
Sun Yun was grinding corn at home, while her parents-in-law went to work at her brother-in-law's house. In fact, she was not happy to go.
If you do it once or twice, you will become dissatisfied after a long time.
The parents-in-law have never asked for food from the second child’s family. They have never given them money. But the old couple still miss them.
The man also went. She was alone at home grinding corn, which made her mood even worse.
There was no cooking at noon until Zhao Qingxiang and his family of three came back. Those who saw the cold pot and stove were not cooking.
"Xiaoyun. Why didn't you cook?"
Sun Yun endured it again and again, "Go and work for them without eating from them? I thought they were in charge of the food."
Now all three of them were in debt. An Lixia sighed and went to cook. Sun Yun just lowered his head and continued to grind the corn.
Zhao Qingxiang saw that his wife had already kneaded out two bags of corn kernels, and it was difficult to say anything.
The whole family was very unhappy during lunch. Sun Yun kept his anger under control and continued to grind the corn after the meal.
"Old lady, you stay at home and grind corn in the afternoon."
An Lixia nodded. Her daughter-in-law was unhappy.
Zhao Qingxiang suppressed his anger. After eating, Sun Yun went to grind the corn and did nothing else.
An Lixia cleared the table and sat down to rub corn, but the two of them didn't talk. It was different from before.
The Zhao family's father and son all went to rest. Zhao Qingxiang was lying on the kang, feeling very uncomfortable. He thought he should talk about it at night.
When the two of them came back in the evening, they saw their mother cleaning up alone, and they got angry immediately.
Looking at Sun Yun still sitting on the kang, rubbing corn, "You just let mom cook?"
Sun Yun's hands were already bleeding, but he was still rubbing them. When Zhao Qingxiang asked, "You can work for others, but why can't you cook? I'm not idle either. Look at my hands. Yes, you have brothers."
Sister, you care about them, you are a good big brother. But you haven't even finished the work at home, so you go out to pretend to be a good person.
Have they ever helped you? Yes. You are the eldest brother. Go ahead and be your good eldest brother."
Sun Yun also shed tears after yelling. She was also very aggrieved.
They have already started their own families. You have no problem taking care of your brothers and sisters, but you also take care of things at home.
No one has ever come over to help me, so I have everything at home.
There are also parents-in-law who are living with them now. You have no problem taking care of other children. But at home, you do everything by yourself, and they are old people, but when you go to other people's homes, you do everything.
She still thought so. It would be fine if everything at home was really done. She would also go and help.
You haven't finished the tasks at home, so you have to help others? Yes, they are all good people, but I am not a human being.
Zhao Qingxiang looked at his wife who was crying and working at the same time, and all his anger suddenly disappeared.
"Aren't we going to bring in all the food?"
"Yes, as long as you are rich and capable. You spend a hundred yuan to hire someone, and they will have the same amount of land as you. If they spend fifty yuan, you will do the rest."
The more Sun Yun thought about it, the angrier he became. "Zhao Qingxiang, I've had enough of this kind of life. You go and follow others."
After saying that, he threw down the corn cob and went to the ground.
The weather here is quite cold at night now.
She rushed out of the house angrily, not caring that her parents-in-law were looking at her.
Zhao Qingxiang also chased her out and grabbed his wife who was about to leave the yard.
"What are you doing?"
"If I don't live with you anymore, I can live alone. I'll stay far away from you. I won't serve you anymore. It's your turn. Let go."
This was the first time Sun Yun had such an outburst in so many years of marriage.
Zhao Qingxiang could also see that she was really anxious. He quickly dragged her into the house. "What are you making a fuss about?"
"Zhao Qingxiang, I won't make a fuss. I've thought it through today and I won't go through with you. I can still support myself and my daughters."
"What's wrong with you? Just because I go to work for them? I'm not going. Stop making trouble and live a good life."
"Live a good life with you? Do you live a good life with me?"
Zhao Qingxiang, pat your conscience and say, have you and I had a bad life over the years? Finally, I can relax, and I have spent money. I think you are getting older, so I can’t make you too tired, but you are fine.
, go and pretend to be a good person, and leave all the work at home to me to be a cow and a horse for others. Then why do I still feel sorry for you?
I can do this all by myself, so why should I use you?
I also do all the work at home. It’s not easy for your mother, I know, so I try not to let her do the work at home. You are really a family. I feel sorry for you at home, but you feel sorry for others outside.
.
Why can't you stand it when I don't cook for just two meals?
Zhao Qingxiang, if it were you, how could you live like this?
It’s okay if they don’t give any subsidies to the elderly. I support the elderly, so why should I use my things to subsidize others? I still have three daughters to go to school.
Yes. I don’t have a son. I, Sun Yun, admit that I am a waste. Then I can live with it, right?"
Sun Yun said she wanted to rush out again. However, Zhao Qingxiang grabbed her and dragged her onto the kang.
At this time, the old couple also came in, and they heard what his daughter-in-law said just now. Zhao Tian was very angry, but he knew in his heart that his daughter-in-law was right.
