second lady

She stretched out her small hand, and gently patted Gu's shoulder, silently comforting the wronged mother.

Gu Shi sniffed, gently stroked Qi You'er's small face, and then touched her slightly blue face, feeling as sad as if her heart had been stabbed by something, and the other three children also stood Beside her, she kept wiping away tears.

Qi Youer looked at Gu Shi with her stiff back, and saw her slowly squatting down, picking up the pieces on the ground one by one. To be honest, Qi Youer couldn't blame this father, after all, that was his mother Well, he can't beat his mother back because of his wife and daughter.

Therefore, they can only endure now, and there is nothing but patience.

The rain outside was still falling, which also washed away their joy of just harvesting.

I don't know if this is home or not.

Qi Zhong finally managed to piece together a wooden bed with wooden boards, at least he could sleep on it. That night, Mrs. Gu just made some porridge, and then the family of six squeezed into a wooden bed, and they couldn't even sleep at night. sleep.

"His mother, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my mother to..." Qi Zhong's voice was a bit uncomfortable. He really felt sorry for his wife and children. Did he live a bit too useless?

It's okay, Mrs. Gu is coaxing the sleeping little daughter in her arms, her face is still a little bruised, maybe she has long been used to such unfair treatment.

"Don't take it to your heart. In fact, I was also wrong. If we say something more, my sister-in-law will not misunderstand." She is still talking to the boss of the Qi family, maybe it is also to prevent Qi Zhong from being too sad.

Qi Zhong understood the same thing, he turned over and covered the children in the family with quilts.

"Brother's family lost some wheat, but not much. He didn't blame us. The rain was so unexpected that everyone couldn't think of it. However, there is also good news. The grain grown in our family can be exchanged for A lot of things”

Speaking of which, Qi Zhong's simple and honest face finally has some smiles, which may be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, we can return the big brother's fine noodles, and there will be a lot left. Just go to dry the wheat.

When Gu Shi heard that there was a lot of food, the pain in her heart also faded a lot, yes, they are not too bad, after all, they still have that food.

Qi You'er opened his eyes, listened to the sound of dripping rain coming from outside the window, and sighed softly, if it was really that simple, she didn't believe that her grandma and aunt wouldn't fight These grain ideas.

And this rain lasted for a full day and night, and the next day, the sun cleared.

The wheat in their home was well protected, without any rain, and as soon as the sky opened up, Qi Zhong was in a hurry to dry the wheat. Mrs. Gu carried Qi You'er on her back and went to help. Several half-grown children He also followed behind her and did what he could.

At this time, the drying of wheat is very simple. It is to put the wheat on the open space and wait for the sun to dry. If possible, drive an ox cart with a stone behind it to press it. If there is no one, let it dry first , and then naturally wait for the wheat to be threshed.

However, Gu and Qi Zhong kept silent about the matter of being smashed by Mrs. Qi at home. They seemed to be okay, and they didn't know if it was because Mrs. Qi had a guilty conscience. They didn't bother them recently.

Qi You'er was tied behind Gu's back. She looked at the people who were drying the wheat strangely. Everyone had smiles on their faces. It seemed that the harvest this year was really good. After all, everyone rushed to harvest the wheat. There may have been some losses earlier, but the gains are definitely greater than the losses. Even fields like Qizhong can grow good wheat, let alone other people's fertile fields.
