"Aunts, I'm sorry. I have something to do at home recently and am really busy, so I don't have time to come." Jiang Wei explained politely, taking out a few ice creams from the freezer and handing them to several people.

These women are all regular customers of ice cream. Jiang Wei is still very polite to the loyal customers of his ice cream.

"It turns out there is something going on at home. We thought you stopped selling ice cream because of those gangsters last time."

After hearing this, the women breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just finish your work at home. Miss Jiang, you have to come here every day, otherwise my grandson won't be able to eat your ice cream and will make endless noises at home." ”

"I try my best."

Jiang Wei made no guarantee.

After all, she didn't know if she would stop selling ice cream here because of other things.

Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side was collecting the coins handed over by the women, and sighed silently in her heart. It would be great if they had a shop in the town, otherwise it would take a long time to come from the village to the town every day... …

But buying a shop in the town should cost a lot of money, right?
  It would be more realistic to buy a horse-drawn carriage. The horse-drawn carriage runs faster than the ox-cart, and the horse-drawn carriage has compartments, which are very safe and concealable. Otherwise, she would have to be wary of some talkative women asking questions if she rides in the ox-cart with other people every day. West.

Jiang Wei brought a lot of ice cream today, and almost all of it was sold out by the time Shen Shen arrived. Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the sky, and it was probably around four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

The mother and daughter packed up the stall and took the bullock cart home.

When he got home, Jiang Wei was not in a hurry to cook the ice cream and ice cream to be sold the next day, but took Jiang Xiaoxiao to the mountains together.

There were two things I came to the mountain for today. One was to see how well the villagers were digging the trenches, and the other was to see the traps set yesterday.

Halfway up the mountain, the villagers were divided into two teams. Some of them were sweating, digging ditches with hoes, while the other team used dustpans to move the soil out of the ditches. The division of labor was clear, and some children also Helping on the side, picking up branches and stones, etc. Compared with yesterday, it is obvious that the road is much more familiar and the speed is much faster.

Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed at a glance that Sister Zhao's two daughters, the eldest daughter was twelve years old, and the younger daughter was eight years old. They were both thin, with sallow complexions and severe malnutrition.

Compared with other children who would play nearby after working for a while, the two sisters seemed to be particularly quiet. They did not take a break during the period, as if they only knew how to work hard.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart. Sister-in-law Zhao's two daughters were so good, and they helped their mother with work. On the contrary, Zhao Ergou completely inherited the style of his father, Zhao Rascal. In addition to being as lazy and lazy as his father, he also used his power to bully others.

Li Zheng, who was in charge of overseeing the work, saw the mother and daughter and walked over with a smile and said, "Mother Xiaoxiao, thanks to the wild boar meat you distributed to everyone yesterday, everyone ate the meat and worked particularly hard today digging ditches!"

In less than one day, most of the trench has been dug. If we continue at this pace, we will have it ready in another day tomorrow.

When the spring water flows down the ditch, the crops in the fields will be saved!
  Jiang Wei smiled and said nothing.

Li Shoucai, who was standing next to him, listened for a long time with his ears pricked up, and then he realized that it turned out that the wild boar was hunted by the third sister-in-law, but why didn't his mother explain it to him and let him go directly to Li Zheng to ask for it?

Fortunately, he didn't have time to go, otherwise he would have been laughed at by others.

After thinking about it, Li Shoucai put down the hoe in his hand, walked forward, frowned and said, "Tell me, third brother-in-law, you are also my third brother's wife after all. Why don't you give some wild boars to your parents after you hunted them?" Do you know that you are being unfilial?"

"Unfilial?" Jiang Wei smiled coldly, "May I ask who you are?"

"You! Third sister-in-law, how can you pretend not to recognize me?!" Li Shoucai said angrily, turning to Jiang Xiaoxiao beside him, and started playing the relative card: "Erya, look at your mother, our old Li family has raised her She pretended not to know me after all these years, do you see how ridiculous this is?" Jiang Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes. There must be something wrong with this guy's mind. He has already separated and divorced, and he still wants to kidnap their mother and daughter with morals. , and, in the past few years in Lao Li's house, her mother has worked as hard as the cows and horses, and she still doesn't know who is raising whom!

She didn't want to say anything more, so she took Jiang Wei's hand and left, "Mom, let's go see Zheng Zhen."

"Hey! Erya, how dare you disobey me!" Li Shoucai wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Li Zheng.

"Don't yell, what are you talking about? That's Xiaoxiao. Her surname is Jiang now, and she has nothing to do with your old Li family." Li Zheng said in a calm voice, "Don't mess around either. Go back and dig ditches quickly, you didn’t come yesterday, and I haven’t settled the score with you yet!”

As soon as he heard this, Li Shoucai became a little timid and lost all the toughness he had at home yesterday. "Li Zheng, I am not busy with something at home..."

"Don't fool me, are you the only one who has something to do? The crops in the fields are drying up, and no one is taking care of them. What do you have to do that is more important than digging ditches to divert water?" Li Zheng scolded him with a serious look, not to be fooled by the other party. Opportunity, just drive people back to dig ditches.

Li Shoucai could only go back and pick up the hoe again.

When the men working nearby saw this, they looked sarcastic: "I didn't come yesterday, but I just came to dig the ditch today. Isn't it because of the two kilograms of wild boar meat?"

"Haha, I don't look good even when I'm working. I've been thinking about the wild boar meat all day long. As soon as Xiaoxiao Niang came, she couldn't wait to get the wild boar meat. She didn't even do much work, and I don't know where her face came from?"

……

"What nonsense are you talking about? I really didn't come yesterday because I had something to do!" Li Shoucai immediately retorted with a blush after hearing this.

But no one believed him, and everyone looked at him sarcastically.

Li Shoucai was so angry that he tightened his hoe handle. For a moment, he really wanted to put down the hoe and go home directly.

But fortunately, he endured it.

It took a lot of effort last night to get my parents to agree to give up sending my eldest brother to study. He definitely can't give up so easily!

The two sisters Chun Miao and Chun Ya, who were immersed in work beside them, couldn't help but swallowed as they listened to the wild boar meat.

They came to work early in the morning, and no one at home came to bring them food. At noon, they only ate two vegetable bran cakes, which was not full. They were already hungry. Now they heard the word wild boar. My stomach is even hungrier...

Sister-in-law Zhao caught a glimpse of the thin faces of her two daughters and said with some distress: "Chunmiao, Chunya, take a rest when you are tired."

"Mom, I'm not tired, let my sister rest." Chun Miao shook her head and said. She is already twelve years old, which is half an adult. Her sister is only eight years old, so she is too young to handle such a lot of work.

Chun Ya pursed her dry lips and wanted to shake her head like her sister and say she wasn't tired, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her dry lips cracked and hurt.

Sister-in-law Zhao quickly took a water bag and fed her some water, while comforting her: "Chunmiao, Chunya, you have worked hard today. I will cook the remaining kilogram of wild boar meat for you when you get back in the evening..."
