Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 77

Xu Xiaomi walked up to her mother and pulled her hand. Zhou Yuqing looked at her so anxiously that she was about to cry.

Xu Xiaomi asked her to squat down, and whispered in her ear, "Mother! Tell her that it has nothing to do with her if there is any in this family."

However, Zhou Yuqing shook her head when she heard this, and all the dozen or so people in the room could only watch Mrs. Wang beating and rolling.

Seeing that no one dared to stop her, Wang Shi became more and more arrogant.He rushed to the table, picked up the dish on the table, and was about to throw it to the ground.

Xu Xiaomi could only close her eyes and endure it. If her father was not at home, she would not let Mrs. Wang come to the house to make trouble like this.

However, now that her parents are here, she has no part to speak at all.

Xu Xiaomi felt like he had been waiting for a long time, why hasn't that "pop" sounded yet?She opened her eyes to look.

She saw that Mrs. Wang was still holding the vegetable bowl and wanted to fall, but the old man Xu grabbed her from behind.

Wang Shi felt that she couldn't grab the person behind her, so she let go of her hand, and the old man Xu almost threw himself out because of too much force.

Xu Erqiang hurried over and reached out to support him. Even so, the old man Xu still held the basin and turned around to stabilize his body.

Old man Xu had just stood firm when he saw his second son supporting him, and hurriedly returned the dish to Xu Erqiang.

He glanced at everyone in embarrassment, and said to Zhou Xuewu: "I'm sorry, my family! Recently, my old lady fell into a madness, please understand, take it slowly."

He walked over and dragged Mrs. Wang to the door.

After Xu Xiaomi hurriedly ran out to catch up, he blocked their way and said, "Grandpa, stay and have dinner together!"

Old man Xu looked at Xu Xiaomi and said, "Son! You are a good person, grandpa wants to have a meal with you. But..."

Yesterday, the old man Xu heard from Xu Yaowu that Xu Xiaomi saved people in the town. Xu Yaowu also praised Xu Xiaomi in front of him. He is the hero of their entire Qinglong Town!

All his life, old man Xu has been a farmer with his face to the loess and his back to the sky. Has he ever been praised like this?I didn't expect my nine-year-old granddaughter to be praised by Lizheng. What a shameful thing is this?

He originally wanted Xu Erqiang to take his wife and children to the old house for dinner, but he heard the old lady say that his in-laws were here, so he didn't mention it at home.

Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Wang told him to come and talk to the second child, not to leave the in-laws at home...

He said at the time that we are relatives and should help each other in this famine year.But today, the old woman took advantage of him to go to see the crops, so she came to make trouble by herself, alas!It's all because of lax self-discipline!Old man Xu felt sorry for Xu Erqiang's family from the bottom of his heart.

Speaking of this, Old Man Xu stopped and gave Wang Shi a hard look, which made Wang shiver in fright.

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi said: "It's okay, grandpa, you can stay here! Grandma said that we don't give you what we have to eat, but that's not what we meant.

In your eyes, our second room is wrong for doing it, and it is wrong for not doing it!It is wrong to invite you, and it is even more wrong not to invite you.

If you are like this, we don't know what to do, so what you do today, only you will see these relatives in the future.

We didn't say anything about you!let's go!Grandpa, let's go to dinner together. "

Xu Xiaomi took the old man Xu's hand and walked into the house, leaving Wang alone outside, whether he went in or not.

Xu Xiaomi dragged old man Xu in, and Zhou Xuewu quickly asked him to sit beside him.Said that the two parents have never had dinner together in ten years, so they have to have a good chat today.

After old man Xu sat down, Xu Xiaomi saw that Mrs. Wang hadn't come in yet, so she ran out to call Mrs. Wang again.

Wang Shi was a little embarrassed standing at the door, but when she saw Xu Xiaomi come out.She turned around and left stiffly, leaving Xu Xiaomi with a hunchbacked gray back.

Xu Xiaomi walked in and whispered to old man Xu, but old man Xu just said lightly: "Let her go!"

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi sat silently at the children's table and went to eat.

Everyone started talking about the world again, as if what happened just now had never happened.

After the meal, old man Xu didn't say a few words.In his opinion, the more his in-laws and his son and daughter-in-law didn't mention what happened with Mrs. Wang, the more he felt sorry for them.

After the meal, old man Xu left Xu Erqiang's house in a hurry.

In the afternoon, Xu Xiaomi mobilized the adults to pick up a large pile of yellow mud, poured it on the embankment and added water to make it into a thin mud for later use.

Xu Hao and Xu Xiaoting picked up stones by the river since they were young.She herself and her cousins ​​went to the mountains with tools to dig a few large baskets of coal and came back.

Xu Xiaomi found that coal digging is the most labor-intensive task. If you want to use lime to make money in the future, you need to train special manpower for coal digging.

At night, there are too many people and few beds. I don’t know how they were crowded in the previous two days?
Tonight, Xu Xiaomi asked Xu Erqiang to put the two tables in the living room together, and put a mattress on it, and the uncle and cousins ​​slept on it.

But it was still not enough to sleep, father, brother, grandfather, plus an injured Agui, it was too crowded for the four of them to squeeze into Xu Hao's bed.

Xu Xiaomi asked his father and grandfather to add a few pieces of wood and nail them on.Only in this way can I fall asleep.

For the rest of the women, two of the four aunts have big bellies and cannot be touched, and there are three cousins ​​and their wives. It is very crowded for so many people to sleep on the two beds.

She asked her father and grandfather to double the width of her and her younger sister's bed, tidy up the kitchen and put it in, so that they could only avoid forced sleep.

The next morning, Xu Xiaomi was woken up by being squeezed, got up and went to make breakfast. It's not a big pot for so many people, so he can only cook it twice!While cooking, Xu Xiaomi thought: It seems that building a house is imminent!They have to start work as soon as the snowstorm is over.

Everyone got up when they heard her making the pot ring!Only Xu Xiaoting slept soundly.

With everyone's help, the food was ready quickly, and everyone started to eat after washing.

After the meal, the arrangement was still the same as yesterday, just picking up stones and then pausing.Xu Hao followed them into the mountains to dig coal.In order to dig more, Xu Xiaomi took her lunch to the mountains to eat.

Xu Xiaomi saw that so many people could not do much work together.She asked everyone to divide into three groups, one boy in each group, one boy in each group to dig, and the women in charge of transportation.

Everyone competes to see which group digs the most, and the most rewards will be kept secret for the time being.Xu Hao keeps accounts, everyone is full of energy when there is a competition.

At noon, she asked Xu Hao: "Brother, how many are the three groups?"

Xu Hao flipped through the manual like a model and read: "The first cousin group has thirteen baskets, the second cousin group has twelve baskets, and the third cousin group has eleven baskets."

Xu Xiaomi said with a smile: "Hey! There are so many! Let everyone wash their hands and eat!"

Xu Xiaomi didn't expect to be able to dig so much with such a score. There were so many people yesterday afternoon, but they only dug a total of fourteen baskets, eh!You have to do this in the future to do more things!

Xu Xiaomi asked Xu Hao to put all the food on the big rock, and everyone sat together to eat, so that it was convenient to arrange work after the meal.

The cousins ​​and cousins ​​sat together to eat and talked about who dug the most. Everyone ate lively and almost finished eating. Xu Xiaomi said: "Everyone will continue to dig in the afternoon. I will arrange the transportation."

The eldest cousin asked: "Sister Xiaomi! There are so many, what do you use to transport them? Let's help transport them back first, and then dig some up later! What if the transport is not finished at night?"

Xu Xiaomi replied: "Thank you, cousin, for reminding me, but it doesn't matter if the shipment is not finished by the end of the night, so it doesn't matter if we can ship it tomorrow! Now we all concentrate on digging more first, and there is no place to put it back if there is too much!"

After hearing this, everyone felt that this was also the case, so there was no longer any objection.

After dinner, Xu Xiaomi asked Xu Hao to go back and drive the wooden ox and horse to transport the coal, and the others continued to dig coal step by step.

When Xu Hao drove the wooden cow and the horse back, Xu Xiaomi said that he should send it back, one group at a time, so don't confuse it.At that time, if the winning group is wrong, everyone will be unhappy.Xu Hao felt a lot of pressure after hearing what the old lady said!

When it was Youshi, Xu Xiaomi asked everyone to pack up and go home.Let Xu Hao count the number of each group.

Back home, when Xu Xiaomi entered the door, she saw coals piled up like hills in the middle of the yard, and she walked into the house happily.

I thought: If I dig like this, the yard will be full within three days, and some people will be suspicious by then.

Rather than letting people make trouble when the time comes, it's better to go straight there now and buy out this forest first, then no one can do anything to take her.

So, she went into the kitchen to take a look, and said to her mother: "Mom! Cook one more dish tonight. My cousins ​​are exhausted today. I will go to Cai's house in the village to buy some wine and come back.

By the way, invite Uncle Li Zheng and the others to come over and have a meal together.In the future, there will be many places to rely on them! "

Zhou Yuqing looked at her daughter and nodded. She trusts her daughter who has always had ideas. Whatever her name, she, as a mother, will cooperate with it. That's right.

Xu Xiaomi went to Xu Yaowu's house first, and told him about selling the mountain. Xu Yaowu stared at her again.

Asked: "I said girl, you are renting the riverside for a while, and selling the mountain for a while, what do you want to do? You know that you have to give the village a tael of silver every year by the riverside!

Do you know how much wheat you need to buy for one tael of silver?Now, you are still addicted to buying, and you still buy mountains?

If you are really rich!If you buy a few acres of good land, and my uncle still supports you, then there will be a harvest every year!

What did you buy this mountain for?What a kid? "

Xu Xiaomi heard what Xu Yaowu said, and said with a playful smile: "Uncle! I know that you are doing it for my own good and our family's good.

Listen to me first, it's by the river!I rented it, and the stones are endless.

However, this kiln needs a lot of wood!You also know that when my father and mother separated, we left the house. We have no forest in our house. If I want to cut down a tree or two, no one will bother me.

But it really cut down a forest!Your ears won't be clean either.

Even if the people in the village say you can ignore it, what if the people in the county intervene?How difficult were you at that time?
So, after thinking about it, I will buy the two hundred acres behind my house first, and the money will be distributed every year, how about it? "
