Chapter 23

Holding a sickle in one hand and sweet potatoes in the other, Oriental Pearl followed her family, gnawing as they walked.

Although it is morning at this time, the sun in July is already very fierce. Looking around, the golden rice is shining brightly under the sunlight. A scorching summer wind is blowing, and waves of rice Rolling mischievously, the villagers were in a good mood.

"Third Aunt, good morning!"

"Fourth Uncle, you are earlier, you can see that you have already cut a big piece."

"Hee hee... This year is a good year, and I'm happy, so I wish I could come here before dawn..."

The villagers greeted each other with smiles. Although they were sweating profusely, looking at the golden and heavy rice in front of them, they were so happy!

Dongfang Chu still had a dark face, and walked in the front carrying a basket.

Even Yang Xiufang, who usually likes to chatter the most, became listless after listening to the villagers' conversations.

As for Dongfang Canxuan, he was even more arrogant and did not dare to say a word, and only silence is golden when he follows his parents.

Oriental Pearl finally finished eating the sweet potatoes in her hands, and threw the sweet potato skins into the rice field beside her.

Dongfang Canxuan saw it, and immediately vented his dissatisfaction: "Wow, wow...you are a dead girl, why are you so wasteful? Sweet potato skin is a good organic fertilizer, you don't keep the chicken, duck and geese you brought home for yourself It’s fine if the dog eats it, so why keep throwing it into other people’s fields?”

What a stingy guy who doesn't let his fat and water flow to outsiders!
Oriental Pearl sighed, rolled her eyes at Dongfang Canxuan, and once again asked the sky speechlessly.

"Second Uncle, you are not only a big villain, but also a cheapskate!" Xiao Xuanzi, who was carried behind Dong Ping, put his arms around his mother's neck and said in a childish voice with his little head tilted.

"You little Xuanzi, if you don't talk, you will die?" Dongfang Canxuan turned his head and waved the sharp sickle in his hand at Xiao Xuanzi, threatening him with his teeth and claws, "It's strange to see if the second uncle will shoot you to death!"

"Second brother, what do you mean if you are always vicious about children?"

"You dead girl, don't you want me to kill you and fight you one-on-one?"

"Who do you want to be fierce again? See if the eldest brother comes back from Mengshan and doesn't punish you!" Dongfang Mingzhu knew that the second brother Dongfang Canxuan was most afraid of the eldest brother Dongfang Canlan, and the eldest brother Dongfang Canlan loved her the most, so she immediately carried him out to scare the second brother.

"The two of you always drool more than you drink tea, and you're not afraid of being laughed at. Each of you can say less, okay?" Yang Xiufang turned her head and said angrily.

The tigress has shown her power, who dares not to follow?Dongfang Mingzhu stuck out her tongue at Xiaoxuanzi and made a grimace, Xiaoxuanzi was immediately amused and giggled, even drooling.

"It's good for him, if he walks far away, he won't have to face the loess all day long!" Dongfang Canlan muttered.

Oriental Pearl is the most defensive, and when I heard my second brother blame my eldest brother who loves me the most for no reason, I immediately felt upset: "Second brother, my eldest brother went to Mengshan to work in a factory to earn money for us to buy oil, rice and salt. money instead of traveling and sightseeing, okay?"

Dongfang Canxuan became unhappy, pointed to the golden rice fields and said, "He doesn't need to earn money to buy rice, okay?"

"Second brother, do you think that with so many mouths in our family, the three-point land we each get is enough to eat?"

Over the past decade or so, the villagers have had a better life. With some spare money in their hands, some people have occupied a lot of farmland to build houses, some farmland has been abandoned, some have been polluted, and the farmland that can be used for cultivation has decreased year by year.

If the year is good and the harvest is good, it can barely meet the staple food. If the year is bad, even farmers will have to eat imported rice and other grains.

Naturally, Dongfang Canxuan knew about this situation, so after hearing what Oriental Pearl said, she immediately drooped her head and was speechless.

"Second brother, if you are envious of elder brother who doesn't have to face the loess all day long outside, then you can also go out to earn money?" Dongfang Mingzhu said unkindly with a twitch of her mouth.

It's not that Dongfang Canxuan never went out to work, but he couldn't bear the hardship of working, so he ran back soon and wandered around the village all day.

These days during the busy farming season, Yang Xiufang had to go to the fields to help out under Yang Xiufang's coercion. At this moment, I heard that my sister was deliberately carrying which pot, so I immediately lost my temper:

"You dead girl, believe it or not, I slashed you with a knife?"

Dongfang Chu's black face, which was always tense, became even darker at this moment: "You two, have you had enough quarreling?"

Dongfang Canxuan stopped talking when his father got angry.

Oriental Pearl's keen ears suddenly heard Dong Ping who was walking behind her sigh softly, and couldn't help turning her head to look at her with sympathy.
