Chen Miao also tried his best to dry it as quickly as possible, because it was still very hot in the crop fields. Besides, in the mountains, there were also fears of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
Li Wenquan came up with Chen Jiang to grow sweet potatoes last year and knew that this was Chen Miao's land. The cotton planted here this year could be heard from her laughter.
He called out outside. In fact, Chen Miao had almost finished picking cotton, and the mother and son were about to reach the end of the field.
Hearing Li Wenquan's voice outside, Chen Miao agreed and bent down to hold the hands of his two sons so that he could go faster.
In fact, there was nothing Chen Miao could do. As long as there was someone to help look after the children, she would never go to the ground with two children who were not walking well. In other words, she could take the children into the space when they were tired and hungry. Ordinary people really
Can't do any work.
Li Wenquan heard the voice of agreement and waited outside. He could also vaguely hear Chen Miao's voice.
After a while, I saw the woman wearing a headscarf, carrying a basket, and leading two children out.
He felt a little sour in his heart. It was really not easy for this woman. I heard Chen Jiang said that his brother-in-law was also in the team, and he left just one day after marrying his third sister.
A traditional man's thinking believes that men are born and die, and they are lucky to be able to leave blood.
But looking at the difficulty of this woman Chen Miao, I really feel that it is too selfish for a man to do this.
"Comrade Li?"
"Comrade Chen, let me help you with your work."
"Thank you, no need, the cotton has been picked. Comrade Li, what are you going to do?"
"I want to go up the mountain to see if I can encounter wild animals."
Chen Miao nodded and had already picked up the two children. "Comrade Li, be careful."
Li Wenquan looked at the two beautiful little guys. They were so lovable. He really envied that man.
After Chen Miao finished speaking, she hugged the two children and crossed over to Li Wenquan to go down the mountain.
"Comrade Chen, I'll take you down."
Chen Miao turned her head, and at that moment Li Wenquan's heart palpitated.
"Thank you, no need. I'm not in a hurry. I can go down the mountain slowly and play with my children."
Looking at Chen Miao leaving again, Li Wenquan did not move, and kept staring at her back.
When I couldn't see it anymore, I turned around and continued up the mountain. After walking for a while, I saw a sweet potato field, which probably belonged to Chen Miao. No other family in the village was growing food on the mountain.
The sweet potato seedlings are quite vigorous. After staying in the countryside for a long time, I know that it is early for the sweet potatoes to come out, so even if I want to help with some work, I can't.
His skills are average, but he carries a gun, so he won't be hurt if he encounters a big animal.
He wanted to get some good things for Chen Miao. It was not easy for her as a woman. He gave all the five dollars he got this time. He could leave some for her next time he met something good. Her man didn't know yet.
Wherever you can take care of her, take care of her more.
Just thinking about it makes me walk faster, which is a bit urgent.
Chen Miao walked down with her two children in her arms, while Yun Shan pointed at the jujubes and screamed.
Chen Miao smiled and said, "You can't eat that."
Yun Xin also saw the red jujubes and shouted after his brother.
Chen Miao smiled evilly. She carried the two children over and said, "Wait for me here and I will pick them for you."
There are many thorns on the jujube branches that are very sharp, but I don’t want my children to get hurt.
He picked a handful of red jujubes and came back with a smile. He opened his palms and the two little guys who didn't know the dangers of the world also picked up one with a smile.
Children will always put novel things in their mouths. Chen Miao suppressed a smile and looked at the expressions of her two sons, still looking forward to it.
Looking at the two little faces wrinkled together, Chen Miao smiled unkindly.
"Didn't I tell you just now? This thing is inedible, how about it?"
The two little ones didn't like to cry. Although they looked at their mother pitifully when they were sore, they didn't cry like other children.
Chen Miao stuffed candy into the mouths of her two sons, and both mother and son laughed.
When she gets home and lets them play on the walker, she still has a lot of work to do.
There is also a lot of work in daily life. As Chen Miao walked, she would say a few words to her two children. They would also respond with "hmm" and "hmm".
Li Wenquan walked for more than half an hour and gained nothing at all, which made him a little depressed.
It's getting late, so let's go back. I imagined it well and thought I could gain something, but in reality it was a waste of time.
On the way back, I found two rabbits, and both of them had their guns drawn, but in the end they didn't fire. It was really not cost-effective to waste two guns on two rabbits.
Regretfully, we went down the mountain and met Chen Jiang at the village chief's house. We came to invite him back for dinner.
"I'm not going."
"Leader, eating at your home is the same as eating at the village chief's fifth uncle's home. Let's go."
Li Wenquan thought about it and agreed. Chen Jiang's home is the home of his comrades, and the village chief's home is the home of ordinary people.
In the evening, Li Wenquan stayed at Chen's house in the same room as Chen Jiang. Chen Tong and his parents went to sleep together. "I went up the mountain today and met your third sister. She was picking cotton. I also wanted to help with some work."
"Boss, when are we leaving?"
"The morning after tomorrow."
"Then I'll go dig the ground for my third sister tomorrow, but it's a bit early."
"It's really early."
"Chen Jiang, I have five dollars here. You can send it to your third sister. It's not convenient for me to go. It's difficult for her to have two children by herself."
"Boss, my third sister must not want it." I still know the third sister.
"Send it to you, don't say I gave it to you."
"That's not possible. My third sister doesn't believe it either. My third sister can live a good life without anyone else taking care of her."
Li Wenquan sighed and tried it herself. He hoped her life would be easier.
The next day Chen Jiang had breakfast and went to Chen Miao's house. She was tidying up the vegetable garden at home today. She had dried a lot of dried vegetables. In fact, she really didn't lack vegetables now, it was just a habit.
She used to be someone who always had to be ahead of her time in everything she did. Otherwise, she would feel uneasy and nip things in the bud.
The two children were sitting in the cart made by Chen's father, eating snacks and watching their mother work.
After Chen Jiang came in, he picked up Yun Shan and Yun Xin and the two of them. He smelled the scent of milk on their bodies and looked at the two nephews who were fair and fair. He was really surprised.
"Third sister, I'm going to plow the ground for you. Li Wenquan said he's leaving tomorrow morning."
"No need. It's too early now. I can just do it myself then, and I won't be tired. If you leave here tomorrow morning, I'll fry the mahua for you and take it away."
"Third sister, no need, keep it for my two nephews to eat."
"What's the matter? Just take it if you want, and I'll give you two pairs of cotton shoes."
Chen Jiang had a smile on his face. "Okay, I understand."
"You go back to work and help me more."
"I'll go back in a while. Chen Tong wants to follow us. He told Li Wenquan when we were having dinner."
