Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 49 Ren Jianli's Depression 2
"Good boy, your kindness to fifth uncle will definitely not be in vain. Mother knows very well what kind of man your fifth uncle is, and he will never let you down, let alone do ungrateful things! The farm has you Fifth Uncle is here, we don't have to worry about anything, just put our hearts in our stomachs!"

Liu Xiangchun was very excited, with tears in her eyes, proud and gratified to have such a good daughter.

The family sat together, reached a consensus on their future tasks, and made the most suitable arrangements.

His father, Rao Shouqin, weaves rattan boxes to make wooden boxes, desks and chairs, completes the order of Moxiangzhai, and Xiangdong assists from the side, and learns a little weaving and carpentry skills along the way.Rao Shouqin is responsible for chopping firewood at home.

His mother, Liu Xiangchun, is responsible for the farm work in the fields and reclaiming wasteland.

Xiang Dong is responsible for cleaning the backyard.Erya's task is to clean the front yard.

The work of washing vegetables and dishes belongs to the west; the cooking and laundry are handled by the big girl; the vegetable chopping is the task of the east, and the west and the big girl are too young, and this job is done by children. not suitable.

Of course, this is not absolute, and we will still help each other.

Liu Xiangchun couldn't let Liu Xiangchun go alone for the farm work in the fields and land reclamation.

The big girl suggested: "Father, mother, now that our family has the ability, let's ask someone to help with farm work! If you can hire hardworking and trustworthy long-term workers, that would be great. In the future, the living father in the field You don’t have to worry so much! Mother doesn’t have to work so hard, just do some light farm work!”

"Well, you are very thoughtful. It is too hard for your mother to work on so many fields alone! I agree, you have to think carefully about who to hire!" Rao Shouqin naturally agreed. It is very wrong to let the wife do the farm work alone while doing carpentry with the box.

Liu Xiangchun was a little hesitant: "Isn't that good? If this is the case, it will cause gossip, and the people in the old house will also make trouble. Let's forget it, there is not much farm work, I can do it alone! When I was in the old house , So much farm work, and few people do it, so it didn't delay the farming time!"

The big girl shook her head and said in disapproval: "Mother, there was no way to do it before, but now life is better, and I can be my own master, and it can be less hard, why do I have to embarrass myself so much? In my opinion Ah, just invite an honest and responsible family from the village, with two or three strong laborers, and that's enough!"

Rao Shouqin said: "Well, I know of such a family. That person is your uncle Maoshan's cousin Mao Tian, ​​who is 35 years old this year and has three sons and two daughters. The family is very poor. There are seven people in the family. We all live in an earthen house, because we are too poor, the eldest son is a good guy, he is 19 years old now, and no girls are willing to marry him.”

The big girl looked at the big brother: "The family, are you honest and responsible? Are you hardworking? Is there any difficult person in the family, just like the second aunt and third aunt, is there?"

Xiang Dong thought for a moment, then grinned and said, "Sister, don't worry, the third son of Uncle Maotian's family, Copper Spoon, has a good relationship with me. I also know the two older brothers of Copper Spoon, they are both very honest and responsible. People are also very hardworking.”

"Well, the copper spoon's parents and two younger sisters are also good. I also think this family is very good. They are not lazy or difficult people." Liu Xiangchun also added with a smile.

"Oh, it's this family? The name of their family is so funny!" Xiang Xi said with a sudden smile, "I remember the elder brother with the copper spoon, he's called the pot cover, but I don't quite remember the name of the second elder brother."

Xiang Dong explained: "Second brother is called Iron Shovel."

"What? It's called a pot lid and a shovel? Hey, it's funny enough to be called a copper spoon! How did this family get their name? It's so ugly! Hehehe..." Erya was taken aback, and couldn't help but burst into laughter I couldn't stop laughing, I laughed until tears came out.

Da Ya also couldn't help laughing, hearing such a strange name for the first time, she couldn't believe it.I was even more surprised than hearing who was called Er Gouzi, it was simply unbelievable.

Rao Shouqin felt very strange: "Why, you didn't even know about the people in the same village before?"

Da Ya couldn't help but rolled her eyes in her heart, and sighed helplessly: "Father, where did we have time to play with the children in the village before? As long as I can remember, I have to beat pigweed to wash clothes, and I am so tired every day. I don't even have the strength to speak. Even if I have some free time occasionally, I wish I could have a good sleep, how can I have the strength to go outside and play?"

Alas, she really doesn't know many children in the village, she is so ignorant!Poor, I don't even know anyone in the village. Before we separated, what kind of life was it like?

Obviously, Liu Xiangchun also thought about this problem, she suddenly felt sad, she took the two sisters into her arms, and burst into tears: "My poor daughter, what kind of evil is this! Children! Every family doesn't even have time to play with the children in the village, and it's rare to see a few of them in ten miles and eight towns!"

At the end, her voice was full of grief and anger, and she couldn't help but glared at her husband fiercely, and complained: "It's all your uselessness, you only know how to talk about filial piety every day, even your young daughter lives like this You don’t even know how desolate you are! How dare you say that you are the real father of a big girl like you?!”

"I was wrong." Rao Shouqin couldn't hold back, and simply bowed his head to admit his mistake.

He was very afraid that his wife would ignore him for a few days again, that was not a good feeling!Especially the feeling of being ignored by the children collectively, he can barely survive it once or twice, but if it happens again, he will definitely not be able to bear it!

Liu Xiangchun snorted coldly: "You're wise!" Otherwise, I'll sleep in the gazebo in the backyard tonight, and I don't deserve forgiveness and sympathy for those who don't repent.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Da Ya hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "This family is really good, so let's just settle down and invite this family! Two adults, plus the boss's big pot cover and the second's shovel, there are still many people! "

Xiang Dong suggested: "It's better to assign one person to help Uncle Wu, so that when Uncle Wu is resting, our side will not disrupt the normal arrangement."

"This proposal is good, so be it!" The whole family agreed unanimously.

After negotiating the wages of the long-term workers, Rao Shouqin was responsible for hiring people.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Rao Shouqin went out to invite someone.Soon, he came back with a smile on his face, and he knew that things should be going well.

"Father, do you agree to come?" Erya rushed over, hugged Rao Shouqin's leg, raised her red face, and asked intentionally.

"Of course, once your father comes out, how can Uncle Mao Tian disagree? Your father is very popular in the village. I will invite him personally. Why can't he come?" Rao Shouqin made a joke with his daughter once in a while, and everything was settled. Da Ya actually saw a bit of cunning in that foolish, filial and overly simple and honest look in the day.

Hey, this cheap dad is interesting!

Hearing that there is an extra helper, Uncle Wu is still very happy, after all, he only has one pair of hands.Someone was looking at the farm, so he could go a little farther to cut the best and tenderest fish grass to feed the fish.

Before, walking away for a while, my heart was not at ease.

In the fish pond, [-] fry are stocked, and there are about [-] crucian carp, grass carp, silver carp, and herring each.To buy these fish fry, Da Ya still asked the shopkeeper Su from Jicui Building to help, and bought them in a fish pond on the outskirts of Hulu County.Local people don't like to eat fish, and there are very few ponds dedicated to fish farming, and it is difficult to find three ponds in one county.

Most of the fish is deep-fried to cover up the fishy smell.

People from the old house haven't come to make trouble for a long time, even sometimes, Rao Mudan would take a detour when seeing Da Ya from a distance.

The second girl felt very strange, so she asked the eldest girl: "Sister, Cousin Peony seems to be a little afraid of you, why? In the past, she would bully you every day. Moreover, the second aunt and the third aunt did not dare to blatantly target you. Damn it, Third Uncle seems to be a little more polite to Dad, and he doesn't dare to laugh at and bully Dad with others anymore!"

"This question is very simple, just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!" Da Ya smiled mockingly, and seized the opportunity to guide her younger sister: "In the past, our family was too honest, and the only thing missing were these words written on my forehead: I am very honest. , You can’t fight back when you beat me, and you can’t fight back when you scold me, come and bully me!”

"Sister, look at what you said, is it that serious?" Er Ya couldn't help laughing out loud.

The big girl earnestly said: "Little sister, the reason why the second aunt, third aunt, and grandma are so powerful, so unreasonable, and so vicious, actually has a lot to do with their parents' blind concessions. From the very beginning, my parents were tough people, not obedient, if they were treated like cows and horses but kept silent, would the people in the old house dare to treat our family like that?"

Poor people, there must be something to hate!
Da Ya also had to admit that the former Rao Shouqin and Liu Xiangchun were really disappointing, and they were asking for trouble!I have been bullied like that by others, and I am still happy, and try my best to be a foolish and filial person!
Erya's smile gradually faded away, and when she thought about it carefully, she felt that what Elder Sister said was quite right: "It really makes sense, otherwise, why wouldn't Third Aunt dare to bully Second Aunt? That's because Second Aunt is even more unreasonable than Third Aunt." The heart is also more vicious, so the third aunt dare not provoke the second aunt. The second aunt and the third aunt also dare not bully the fourth aunt and fifth aunt. The fourth aunt and fifth aunt are better than mother, and the fourth uncle and fifth uncle are not as good as their father. Yu Xiao, you are so useless!"

As the little girl spoke, she shook her head and sighed: "Hey! That's why, those people in the old house bully the people in our big house and treat the people in our big house like cows and horses! Just think about dividing The hard days before my family, I feel very useless, and I feel very sad!"

Before the words finished, Feng turned around: "It's all over now, the people in the old house finally know how to be afraid, and dare not bully our family casually!" The little girl's voice was clear and loud, full of joy , "giggled" and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, the people from the old house came to make trouble that day, the eldest sister is really majestic, Er Ya really admires it!"

Although she was frightened that day, the demeanor of the eldest sister that day also deeply impressed her!
The elder sister's words and deeds, the elder sister's ideas, the elder sister's good guidance, and the interesting puzzle stories told by the elder sister opened a magical window for her and gave her a lot of inspiration in life.Although she was still a little confused, the enlightenment opened her mind bit by bit, penetrated into her soul, and guided her to gradually step into a different life trajectory.

At this moment, her outlook on life changed a lot.In other words, at this moment, she established a correct outlook on life: independent, self-improving, strong, courageous, kind, simple, and not lacking in wisdom and wisdom!
Da Ya was busy with the important affairs at home, and before she knew it, the busy summer harvest season had passed.Now that she was free again, she finally had the mind to worry about other things, so she went to shopkeeper Su to ask for the seeds of Tianjiao.That's right, it is Zhitian pepper. The chili found in Languo is the wild Zhitian pepper.Shopkeeper Su said that there are no artificially cultivated peppers yet, and they are all picked by mountain people in the mountains.
