Sweet Garden Sands

Chapter 50

50
Seeing such a large group of people, Ke Hanxue was really frightened. Except for the uncle and uncle, the cousin and cousin, and a few cousins, the parents' room was almost too crowded.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you are all here, what should we do at home?" Ke Zhong asked happily and worriedly.

"Father, mother, your two sisters-in-law and how many baby girls are not still at home?" Uncle Zhong Detian said with a smile. The two brothers have many children, so there is no shortage of manpower for work.

"That's right, Yuerong, hurry up and take us to the field." The second uncle Zhong Deshui also said, they are here to help with work, not to chat.

Ke Zhong explained to his mother-in-law, and took the group of people to the field.

A large group of people came to the sweet potato field, and there were two people who came earlier than them in the sweet potato field, that is, Tongsuo father and son, and they had already cleared a large area.

"Father Tongsuo, Tongsuo, why are you here? Don't you need to do the work in your own fields?" Ke Zhong asked anxiously. They had already dug sweet potatoes for themselves for several days, how could they let them Help dig the ground?
"There's not much work in the field for the past few days, so let's help your family dig the land for another two days." Father Tongsuo felt relieved when he saw that Ke's family had a large group of helpers.

"Father Tongsuo, if your family has work, go back, we have enough people." Ke Zhong said.

"Don't care about these two days."

After Tongsuo father said hello to Zhong Detian brothers, he spat in his hands, rubbed his palms back and forth, and then bent down to continue working.

Seeing that they couldn't be persuaded, Ke Zhong had no choice but to let them go. He just remembered in his heart that after the land was turned, he would send them some food.

Ke Hanxue looked at a large group of people in the field, worried about lunch,
There is only rice and vegetables at home, what should I do for lunch?
"Yuerong, you and Xue'er go back to feed the silkworms first, we are here!" Zhong Detian brothers knew that their sister was not in good health and could not stay in the sun for a long time, so they asked her to send her home.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, then I'll go back and boil some water and bring it here." Only then did Ke Zhong realize that he had been urged by his brothers just now and even forgot to bring tea.

Zhong Deshui waved his hand and said: "What water do you need to boil? If we are thirsty, we can go to the riverside and have a couple of mouthfuls. Don't bother."

"Yuerong, your second brother is right. Those of us who are used to farm work are used to going to the river to drink two sips of water when we are not thirsty." Zhong Detian also said.

Seeing that the two elder brothers said so, Ke Zhong didn't insist anymore, and took Ke Hanxue back.

As soon as Ke Zhongshi got home, he went into his house and opened the bag of food in his house.

"Mother, are you also worried about what to cook for your uncle and a few cousins ​​at noon?" Ke Hanxue followed Ke Zhong into the house, and Ke Meng also followed in, just about to talk to the boss. The daughter-in-law said this.

Ke Zhongshi locked his brows and said worriedly: "The rice and noodles are enough for two days at home. The salted eggs that Xue'er marinated a few days ago should also be edible, but there is no meat."

"Mr. Ke Zhong, why don't I go to the village to see who has meat to borrow?" Mrs. Ke Meng asked after hearing this.

"Mother, who's family will still keep meat at this time?" Ke Zhong didn't dare to hold out too much hope. If it was the beginning of the month, any family would save a piece or two of meat, but now it's the middle of the month. The family meat is also finished.

"I'd better go and have a look, maybe there will be!" Ke Mengshi said, the brothers in-laws came all the way to help, they must not be allowed to be vegetarian.

After speaking, Ke Mengshi went out of the yard.

Ke Meng asked several houses that there was no meat, and after thinking about it, she went directly to the village head's house. She remembered that relatives seemed to have visited the village head's house yesterday, and she wondered if they bought meat to entertain the guests?

A quarter of an hour later, Ke Meng came out of the village chief's house with a smile on his face and carrying a piece of pork belly.

When Ke Zhong saw her mother-in-law carrying a piece of meat into the house, she was also happy and said, "Mother, did you really borrow the meat?"

"The village chief's family came to have relatives yesterday. This piece of meat was brought by their relatives. It's a piece of cured meat!" Ke Meng felt relieved to be able to borrow meat and not be ashamed in front of her brother-in-law.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Shuisheng to bring a piece of fresh meat back to the village chief." Ke Zhong happily took the meat, and took it into his house first.

"At that time, take two more corned eggs." Ke Meng yelled to Ke Zhong's house again, the meat is returned, and the favor is also returned.

"Mom, I know that."

Standing at the door of the house, Ke Hanhe swallowed and watched as Ke Zhongshi carried the pork belly into the house, then turned around and entered his silkworm house.

After a while, Ke Yushi came out of the silkworm house and went directly to her mother-in-law's room.

"Ke Yushi, what's the matter?" Ke Mengshi looked at the angrily Ke Yushi with a headache, wondering what happened to the second daughter-in-law?
"Mother, did you buy meat for my sister-in-law's family?" Ke Yushi asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Ke Yushi, who did you hear that I bought meat for the old family?" Ke Mengshi's face darkened. Want to make trouble.

"Mother, you don't care who told me, I just want to know if there is such a thing?"

"Ke Yushi, you want to rebel, don't you?"

Ke Yushi's refusal to let go made Ke Mengshi's face turn black with anger. Looking around, which daughter-in-law in the village dares to speak to her mother-in-law with such an attitude?
"Mother, even if I rebelled, I was forced by you. How can you be so partial? Our family hasn't smelled meat for a long time. You bought meat for Dafang, why can't you buy it for our family?" Ke Yushi She didn't notice her mother-in-law's anger at all, her mind was all on the piece of meat her daughter mentioned.

"Ke Yushi, do you have any brains? Do you believe others gossiping in front of you?" This second daughter-in-law sometimes takes money too seriously, so she often listens to other people's instigation, such as the beautiful girl in the village. .

Normally, Ke Yu and Mei Zhiniang are close, and both of them are good at calculating. Just now, she saw me carrying the meat in front of Mei Zhiniang's door, so Ke Meng guessed that it might be that Mei Zhiniang was in Ke Yu's house. Talk nonsense in front of you.

"Mother, I know what you mean by that, but don't blame the good guy, it was He'er who saw you handing over the meat to sister-in-law, so don't hide it."

Ke Yushi knew that her mother-in-law had never liked Mei Zhiniang, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to defend herself.

"He'er told you that I bought that meat?" Ke Mengshi heard that Mei Zhiniang was provocative, her face improved a little, but her tone was still a little angry.

"Mother, I didn't buy this meat. Could it be that someone gave it to you for nothing?" Ke Yushi looked disbelieving: "Even if someone gave it to you for nothing, you can't give this whole piece of meat to everyone." room?"
