On the next day of Yin Zheng, Jiang Jianye walked around the village beating the gong. He set off at Maozheng, giving an hour in advance to prevent anyone from oversleeping.
In fact, there is absolutely no need. Recently, everyone is rushing to have sex, and some even get up and work in the fields when they are ugly.
Cheng Xue got up early to bake scallion pancakes, and made more of them.
After washing, Yu Zhao entered the room and saw what she had prepared, her throat was burning.
"Sister-in-law, it's too wasteful not to use pancakes."
"What's the point? As long as he doesn't get hungry or get sick, it's better than anything else. To say the least, your brother and I are quite embarrassed. If we could have told him earlier..."
"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm a heretic to say that, but I'm already doing very well now." Yu Zhao said as he helped light the fire, thinking about what he would tell his younger brother later.
It doesn't matter if you tell me early or later, as long as your brother is safe.
After the pancakes were baked, Cheng Xue quickly fried some shredded potatoes, and then used the pancakes to roll the vegetables, one sheet at a time. Wrap them in kraft paper, and roll them firmly without scattering.
Yu Zhao watched the whole process, and his respect for his sister-in-law increased a lot.
At the beginning of the month, the villagers who went south gathered at the head of the village.
Yu Zhao and Li Hui picked up their things and set off to the official road to wait. Before they had walked a few steps, they were taken away by Bai Rui in a car. You knew without asking that Xiao Qinglin must have made arrangements for them to see Yu Xuan more.
A face.
Cheng Xue at home didn't know this, so she washed the children and asked them to eat quickly.
The forest farm has a rest today, and we will go to work in the fields later. All the ten people hired have left, and we have almost finished planting on the dry land at home. There is not much left, and it will only take a few days to do it at home.
She gave all the paddy fields to Li Qingchun. The two paddy fields were next to each other and the price had been negotiated, so there was no need to worry at all.
After breakfast, Li Hui and Yu Zhao didn't come back either. Cheng Xue told Li Yue to look after his home, and then took Li Heng and Yan Yixin to drive the oxcart to the ground.
Just after Maozheng, many people went to work in the fields. You can imagine how urgent this recruitment was. I thought that Li Hui and Yu Zhao would be here soon, but who would have thought that after an hour, both of them were
Didn't show up.
It’s really weird.
"Sister, you're here very early!" Guo Dake said hello as he walked.
He kept his promise and finished planting Yan Yixin's thirty acres of land before planting it for their family.
"Yes, brother, where is sister-in-law?"
"I'm taking care of my four-pillar daughter-in-law at home. I just finished crying, and Mother Lu is worried."
Mrs. Guo Yang has always been attentive and it makes sense to stay and take care of her.
"Brother, please take the cow away. While you have a rest today, finish plowing the land at home quickly, so that my sister-in-law and the others will not have to carry it manually, which will be very tiring."
"No, no, just lend me the pusher." Guo Dake settled for the next best thing.
In previous years, we farmed by hand. This year it is indeed a bit more difficult, but with some hardship, we can persevere no matter what.
Li Heng was worried that the hand-pulled plow would be borrowed. He hurriedly shook his head and refused and said:
"Hey, Uncle Guo, just take the cow away. I still have to push it by hand. The hoe is too hard on my hands. I'm still young."
"You are young? But you are strong. Who wouldn't say you are a young man?"
Guo Dake joked with a smile, then took his son to thank him and left with the cow.
Having this thing is very labor-saving, and besides, this year it’s just his family and his third brother and sister, and neither his father nor the fourth brother and sister can work.
Dong Chengli watched Guo Dake and Cheng Xue from afar, urging his family to work quickly. They also have a lot of land this year, not only the family's land, but also the mother-in-law's.
Although he agreed with his mother-in-law's approach in his heart, the old people still differentiated themselves so clearly that he was afraid that they would never be able to go back to the past.
What the hell is this!
At two o'clock, Li Hui and Yu Zhao finally returned. Yu Zhao's eyes were red and he had obviously cried.
Turning grief into strength, he swung the hoe behind his back with every force, as if he was killing an enemy with his upper body.
The furrow was deep and the work was fast. Cheng Xue wanted to remind him to take it easy and don't tire himself out, but he swallowed the words again. He probably encountered something unsolvable, otherwise he wouldn't have vented like this. p>
At noon, Li Yue came with two little ones to deliver food. Li Huai was already walking very steadily. When Li Laoyuan saw his mother, he ran over and hugged her legs.
Li Tian also wore old clothes and ran to her brother to work with seeds. She had done it last year, so she was not unfamiliar with it.
"Dad, cousin, come over and eat. The cake is still hot, and I fried the shredded potatoes."
As Li Yue talked, she put the food on the ground. When Mrs. Li Fang, who was next to their home, saw this, her eyes were full of envy. Mrs. Zhang looked at her sister-in-law's appearance and knew that she was anxious to have a child.
She wanted to persuade her, but she was still immersed in the sadness of her husband's departure. In the end, she could only sigh and lower her head to work.
There is a small ditch at the end of the field. The water in it is very clear. Villagers who eat in the field will come here to wash their hands.
Li Yue imitated Cheng Xue's burrito style in the morning, rolled each pancake with potato shreds, and then wrapped it in kraft paper, so that he didn't need to greasy his hands when eating.
Cheng Xue sat on the tarpaulin, looking up at the blue sky, doing some work, sweating, and having a different feeling.
"Tangtang, please stop doing this. I don't need you. Have you practiced the piano today?"
"Don't be in a hurry, mother. I'll go back and coax my brother later, and I'll practice after my sister goes to sleep." Li Yue said while waving a hoe to work.
Swinging the hoe one after another, very energetic.
Li Fangshi brought the food over. When she saw this scene, she smiled and said:
"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky. Look at how well our Tangtang family is doing."
"Yes, these children are sensible and can be put to good use." Cheng Xue praised her children without hesitation.
Looking at the smiles on the children's faces, she felt very satisfied.
I hate people who belittle their children. Even if you are humble, have you ever thought about what your children will think after hearing this?
Li Hui noticed something strange about her, picked up a new burrito and handed it to her.
After a day's work, Li Yue had already boiled the hot water in the west room and prepared dinner when he returned home. After Cheng Xue had eaten, she took a comfortable hot bath and climbed onto the kang to rest early.
Whatever is stuck on the bed, or what is stuck on the soles of shoes, pull them all down and we will talk about them tomorrow.
Just when she was about to become confused, Li Hui came back.
"Asleep?"
"Right away." Cheng Xue yawned, turned over and closed her eyes, "It's early for you to finish work today, are you tired?"
"You're not tired. We've agreed with Li Heng and the others that the morning exercises during this period will be changed to farming, and we have to get up earlier tomorrow. We'll be back late today, aren't you curious?"
"Didn't you take the initiative to confess?" Cheng Xue said while patting Li Huai.
The little guy stayed in the fields for a long time today and didn't even take a nap. He was exhausted.
Li Hui chuckled "Haha..." and said without hiding anything:
"Originally, Yu Xuan was not there when we went south, but he took the initiative to invite us there."
"Why, you see that his eldest brother can't be counted on, so he wants to pick someone at the top of the family tree?"
"You guessed it right."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Cheng Xue's even breathing.
He was very sleepy when he was reading, but now that he thought of Yu Xuan's appearance, he felt sleepy again...
