Yue Zhongyao returned to Xiahe Village to help with spring plowing. Mrs. Wu hated him for losing her face. She thought about the treasure that was in the package that was taken away. She was so angry that her liver ached, her stomach ached, her heart ached, and she didn't say a single unnecessary word to Yue Zhongyao.
.
I just wish I didn't even have to cook for him.
Yue Zhongyao was very stubborn, so he carried a few old clothes and went to Qiao Mingjin's place.
Now he also knows that his wife still cares about their daughter.
As long as the words are not serious, he is not afraid.
Jin Niang would never kick him out anyway.
As expected, Qiao Mingjin didn't say anything to him sneaking into the wing with his old clothes.
The idiot then ate and slept at Qiao Mingjin's house in the dark, and got up before dawn to work in Yue's fields.
That day, just after dawn, I returned to my Yue's house.
Without saying hello to anyone, he picked up farm tools, pulled an ox cart, picked up a load of seedlings, and headed into the fields.
Old Yuetou also got up early, and after Yue Zhongyao went out, he followed silently.
Now that the other two sons were married, they had wives and children. He called out to them outside the window, but they didn't get up. As a father, he couldn't rush in, lift off his sons' quilt, and force them to the ground.
Fortunately, there is still a third son.
The old Yue Tou is very happy.
If these three sons were at home, why would he have to work so hard?
Maybe the father and son teamed up to open up wasteland. How many acres of wasteland have been cultivated now? No matter how barren the land is, can one acre of land still not produce one or two stones of grain a year?
Why do you need to snatch the package that your son brought to your wife and granddaughter?
Not a poor person?
Lao Yue's head was hunched over, his hands behind his back. He stared at the tall back of his son holding the cow rope in front of him, and sighed secretly.
Now his four siblings and his third sister are now grandmothers and are living a pretty good life.
Although his eldest brother only has one son, his nephew has now opened two shops in the town. Although he does not live in the village, he often comes back to visit his parents.
Occasionally, his eldest brother and his sister-in-law would go to the town to visit their son, daughter-in-law, and several grandchildren. His nephew Changxing has now given birth to two sons. I heard that they have both been sent to private schools and they are still studying very well. His eldest brother
Brag in front of him every time.
Although his fourth brother had one son less than him, his fourth sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu, was good at running the family, her two sons were filial, and their two daughters-in-law regarded them as their own parents.
The whole family is harmonious with the sisters-in-law, the husband and wife are loving, there is no trouble at home, and the whole family is very happy.
How does it look like their home?
Everyone is calculating their own calculations. They are afraid that others will do less and they will do more.
Alas. Lao Yuetou let out a long sigh, feeling powerless.
Yue Zhongyao walked in front of Lao Yuetou and did not hear Lao Yuetou's high and low lamentations.
He only thought about Jinniang's attitude towards him these past two days.
He was so shameless that he stayed at Jinniang's house, and his daughter shared the same bed with him every night, which made him happy and delighted.
When Jin Niang cooks, she will also make an extra portion for him. Seeing that he has been working in the fields from early to late in the past two days, the meals are also very oily. They are all big meat, bone soup, and vegetables that he likes to eat.
Although Jinniang was indifferent to him, fortunately she still cared about the love between husband and wife. She made him extremely satisfied with food and accommodation.
Although Jinniang didn't say a few words to him, he was satisfied if he could be around mother and daughter.
It's just that his mother, Mrs. Wu, somehow knew that he was going to invite some of his colleagues to Qiao's house in Yunjia Village to help his parents-in-law do farm work for a few days. She made the two days so noisy that she didn't want to see him.
In addition to not preparing his meals, they also sent him out every day, asking him to ask some colleagues to come to Xiahe Village to help.
Where did his mother know that?
That day he only told Jin Niang to listen.
Yue Zhongyao was immersed in thought alone, and then he finally remembered belatedly. Could it be that he had asked the tiger next door to go to the city to send a message to several colleagues, canceling the news that they would go to Yunjia Village?
That must be the case.
Yue Zhongyao patted his head in annoyance.
His family only has a few acres of land and a lot of labor. There are three brothers, two brothers and their wives, father, mother and sister, eight laborers, and more than ten acres of land. Who needs help?
The mother-in-law was the only one in the father-in-law's house, so he wanted to finish the work at home quickly and then bring someone to help.
Unexpectedly, his mother heard it.
Yue Zhongyao also sighed quietly.
Now his mother has refused to go to the field since he refused to invite his colleague back. It is said that since he has said that there is no shortage of people in the family, there is no need for her to go to the field.
The two brothers and their daughter-in-law, who are not hard-working people, also competed with each other to cook at home.
It wasn't until nearly noon that they all came over with their meals, and then after the father and son finished eating, they would rush to collect the bowls and go home. At about sunset in the middle of the afternoon, the cats went to the fields, pretended to be busy for a while, and then
Waiting to go home with their father and son.
When others saw it, they thought the two men had been working in the fields all day.
Although the second brother and the fourth brother also went to the fields, they were really not suitable for the work. Not only did they arrive late, their movements were not quick at all. They had to go to the shore to drink water and rest after working for less than half an hour.
Yue Zhongyao couldn't help but sigh.
They were all pointing at him.
That day, the father and son went to the fields before the morning dew had dispersed.
Most families in the village, like the father and son, went to the fields as soon as it dawned. They wanted to plant the seedlings before the sun came up, so they could do more work.
"It's so early for you and your son."
The villagers greeted him one after another.
Yue Zhongyao responded with a smile on his face and said hello to others.
"Old Yuetou, thank you for being the third son of yours. Otherwise, how long would you be able to do it alone? You are lucky. The third son has entered the county government and is now the chief arrester. You are still so filial.
I want to go home and go to the fields with you, you are so lucky."
Lao Yuetou's heart was full of dryness, as if it had been poured into a blue spring, so beautiful that it bubbled up.
"Yes, yes, my third son is filial."
The wrinkles on my face were squeezed into one spot when I smiled...
On this day, there were only four cats, father and son, in the field.
Yue Xiaoman was originally assigned to cook at home, but Mrs. Wu didn't want her daughter to go out and be exposed to the sun while she was discussing marriage.
Just because Yue Zhongyao came back to help, Sun and Yu couldn't stay home.
The two sisters-in-law scrambled to get into the kitchen to work. Yue Xiaoman was so angry that he ran to the field carrying a basket.
My father-in-law also hurt her and refused to let her go to the fields. He only asked her to help with small tasks in the fields.
At noon, many people had already finished work.
People who were closer to the fields went home to have lunch and rest for a while to avoid the noon sun before going out.
For those who were busy working and the fields were far away from home, the women at home prepared meals and sent them over. The family ate under the shade of the trees, rested for a while, and then went to the fields again.
The father-in-law and his four sons, including Yue Xiaoman, were already hungry, but they still didn't see any food from home.
Donggen, Linglong and Beishu, who were playing in the fields, were also starving and ran home early.
The sun was shining brightly at noon. Lao Yuetou looked up, then took his three sons to the edge of the field, chose a dense tree, and sat down with the shade on his back.
When I took off the lid of the earthen pot, not a drop of water was left inside.
"These naughty boys!" Yue Laosi cursed bitterly.
In the past few days, several children in the family would go to the fields to play. The water was originally brought early in the morning. The four father and son came up to drink water an hour ago and there was still half a can of water left. At this time, there was not a drop left.
Naturally, a few children stole it and drank it.
Naturally, the old Yuetou couldn't argue with his grandchildren, so he just sat under the shade of the tree and sulked.
I kept looking around on the road, feeling hungry and thirsty, my throat was about to smoke, and I didn't see any water or food coming from home.
"Dad, how about I go back and take a look." Yue Laoer stood up and said.
"Come on, second brother. Once you get back, will you still be able to come? I'm afraid I won't be able to see you until the sun sets."
Yue Laosi pointed out his second brother's wishful thinking coolly. His second brother was probably going to have an excuse to rest at home for a while before coming back.
I'm afraid I won't see this second brother until nearly sunset.
"How could I do this? I just went back to see why it's already this time and I still haven't seen the food delivered by my family."
As he spoke, he looked at Lao Yuetou in a nonchalant manner.
Lao Yue raised his eyelids and glanced at him. How could he not know the sausage in his son's belly?
He said to Yue Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, please go back and take a look."
Yue Xiaoman, who had been raised by the Wu family since then, was now dizzy from hunger, his throat was so dry that it was smoking, and his lips were so dry that they were stuck together. He couldn't say a word and could only nod weakly.
.
Just when he was about to turn around and go home, he saw Mrs. Yu coming from a distance carrying a load.
Yue Zhongyao was leaning weakly on the tree trunk, but when he saw the visitor, he was overjoyed. He straightened up and looked at Yu's burden.
"Where is your second sister-in-law?"
The old Yue Tou asked.
"Second sister-in-law went back to her parents' house. She said she was going to help out for a few days." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Yu secretly curled her lips.
She also wanted to go back. But Mrs. Sun ran away secretly. When she was about to run away secretly, her mother-in-law caught her.
How can two women cook at home?
My mother-in-law alone is enough.
But when her mother-in-law saw Sun running back to her parents' house, she cursed her and ignored everything. She didn't even buy meat. She only asked her to go to the back garden to pick a few handfuls of vegetables for frying.
Her husband-in-law has been in the fields since dawn. The farm work is so heavy, how can it not be smelly at all?
Just say that the mother-in-law prefers the second child’s family. Humph.
But don’t think that she would use her private money to buy meat. If she doesn’t eat it, we should all stop eating it together.
As soon as Lao Yuetou took a bowl of water, before he drank it, Yue Laoer yelled: "Why are there only these two vegetables today? And no oil at all? The family has no money or what?"
of?"
The father and son all looked into the lunch box.
Isn't it? Except for two green vegetables that were fried and lost their color, there was nothing else.
Lao Yuetou was so angry that his chest was arching.
But it was not easy to get angry, so he shouted to Yue Laoer who was still chattering: "You think the sound is not loud enough or something?"
Yue Laoer looked around. Perhaps his voice was too loud just now, which attracted many people to look at them. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
