Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 146
"Grandpa, I call you Grandpa because you are an elder. But even if you are an elder, you can't bully others like this?"

Before Mengxiong could answer, Mengyuan was so outraged after hearing Meng Guohua's shameless words in the room, she jumped to the gate and said just such a sentence.

Meng Guohua didn't expect Meng Yuan to appear suddenly, and this girl didn't know if it was because of the last time, she hated her as much as she liked.

"Well, Meng Ya, Grandpa has nothing to do, so he came to look for your father. During the rush harvest, even if you use money to hire someone, you can't hire someone. But if you can't finish the harvest and it rains, then The food will have to rot in the ground!"

"Oh~~ Is there anyone from our family in the bad land? Besides, what kind of person is my nominal second aunt? You have lived under the same roof for so long, don't you know?"

Before Meng Guohua could answer, Mengyuan continued: "Everyone in the village knows that Ye Hong dislikes my mother as much as she dislikes her. Let me live in the old house with my mother and let her take care of Ye Hong." ? I don’t know if your old man has ever heard the saying, “Was the weasel paying New Year’s greetings to the chicken, is there no kindness?”

This is the second time that Meng Guohua has been criticized so embarrassingly in front of Meng Yuan.He couldn't figure out how a little girl could be so eloquent.

"Father, no matter what you say, I will not leave my daughter and daughter-in-law to Ye Hong to take care of. Our husband and wife have been looking forward to this baby for so many years. I don't know how to torture Yunniang!
As for the looting, I'm sorry I can't do anything, my family also has a lot of land, and I can't do it by myself, so I don't have time to help you! "

Their family has already bought ten acres of paddy fields, and if they can hide it for a while, they can't hide it forever. Anyway, everyone will know in the future, so why not make it clear at this time.It also saves the old people from playing their own minds all day long.

That's not to say, now that his wife is pregnant and his daughter is injured, he rushes to be a good old man?
Meng Guohua looked at the resistance of the father and daughter, and knew that today he lost all the little face left.

As for what Mengxiong said about him having a lot of fields, Meng Guohua didn't take it to heart.

For a family that can't even afford three meals a day, if the family has a lot of fields, will it be impossible for three meals to feed and clothe it?
Because of his suspicion, he regretted it after the robbery.These are things for later.

In other words, after sending Meng Guohua away, Mengxiong went back to the house with Meng Yuan on his back, picked up things by himself, locked the gate, and then walked to the town.

Along the way, I saw villagers busy harvesting wheat in the fields. People with sufficient labor force cut a large piece of wheat at once, tied it up and put it aside.The repeated movements and the heat of the sun are ignored by everyone, and all they think about is that they can relax a little earlier by closing the wheat.

There are at least two or three people harvesting wheat in other people's fields. Mengxiong looked at the field he used to serve, and there was only Mengda cutting the wheat. From time to time, he straightened up, fanned the wind, and rested for a while.

"Hey, Brother Daxiong, are you going to town? Have you finished harvesting your wheat? Do you want me to help you?"

Meeting an acquaintance, Mengxiong stopped in his tracks: "My family's land was harvested yesterday, so I still need you to help me, but you, how is your family's harvest going?"

"Hey, I have a lot of family members, and I think I can finish harvesting in a while. In this way, I can go to the town to find work tomorrow. Otherwise, there is not much left after paying taxes for this little wheat, and I have to take it away." Change some coarse grains in the town, otherwise the family can't afford such expensive food!"

"Hehe, it's still necessary to eat one or two meals, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to eat coarse grains all year round."

"Wait, wait until the baby is grown up, promising, and earning money. Well, I know you're busy, and it's still a long way to go to town. I won't delay you. Let's talk again when we have time." Let's chat!"

"Hey, I have time to go to my house, we brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time!"

To be polite, anyone would say, if you take it seriously, then you are stupid!Although Mengxiong doesn't think so, it doesn't mean that others don't think so!

Compared with the sweltering heat in the field, Mengxiong felt that it was more relaxed in his own home, which was before the ten acres of paddy fields started to be planted.After the rush harvest, their family will also start planting rice seedlings.

The day before yesterday, I asked the village chief to ask the guaizi's house, and said that the guaizi's house had seedlings, but because the paddy fields were going to be sold, I didn't take care of these seedlings in the later period, and now the growth is not very good.

Meng Yuan said that these are not problems. Besides, she has seen that there is a ditch next to the paddy field that the kidnapper sold to their family. If this is used well, it will bring great benefits to her family!
In modern times, some ethnic minorities still adhere to pure natural planting, so some seedlings are stocked in the paddy fields of every household.

As for her family's ten-acre paddy field, she plans to use five acres to make an experimental base. If this planting is successful, then she will plant the five acres she gave birth to in the same way.This era is not like modern times, where there are high concentrations of pesticides that can poison and kill insects.

The method of killing pests here is very primitive... Whoever has pests in their crops, no matter men, women, old or young, go to battle together, use both hands to grab the bugs, and then squeeze the bugs to death with a firm hand.

Thinking about taking the picture reminded her of how she killed insects in her vegetable garden not long ago.Aw... she can still clearly feel the juice that was sprayed on her hand by the insect!

Meng Yuanxiong believed and doubted what the girl said.But Meng Yuan has a sense of proportion, and she plans to do this without ten acres of paddy fields.So he didn't say anything to Li Shi.

My daughter said that you have to dare to try something new. If you try it, you will be the first to eat crabs. If you don’t succeed, the rice will still be there, but the harvest will be less.

However, these are still under planning, and the implementation is estimated to wait until next year. This year will be the same as usual, and everyone will grow rice.

After Mengxiong picked up the pickled radish and braised pork and handed them over to Midian and Yue Fulou, he went to Da Huzi's to cut a piece of lean meat. He has been eating braised pork for the past few days, and occasionally he needs to change the taste.

"Hey, brother Meng, I haven't seen you here for several days, why are you free today? By the way, according to our agreement, I will prepare everything for you!"

As he said that, the bearded man threw the pigs he had packed into the water, and moved them all to the stall in one go.So that Mengxiong can wrap it up and put it in the frame.

"Brother Hu, help me cut some more lean meat, my wife is pregnant and her mouth is greedy!"

"okay."

The bearded man stabbed down and weighed, no more, no less, exactly one catty.

"Meng Laodi, is one catty enough? Is it enough for me to cut you again?"

One catty of lean meat is enough for three people.During this period of time, almost every meal in their family eats meat, so it is not as edible as before.

"That's enough, let's just change our taste. There are still many things at home, so I won't chat with you, let's go first!"

He is already familiar with Big Beard, but Meng Xiong, who is not good at communicating with others, is still very uncomfortable with Big Beard's straightforwardness.But he doesn't hate this person, maybe it's because of his daughter!
"Hey, okay, come again next time!"

After paying the money, Mengxiong carried a pig weighing more than ten catties into the water, pork, and some nuts, and brought it back for Mrs. Li to grind his teeth.This is also what Meng Yuan specially told him to buy back for Mrs. Li when he came to the town, saying that it was good for pregnant women to eat.

Now their family is not short of money, although it is not much, but it can afford Li's good food and drink.

In a hurry to go home, Mengxiong didn't bother to watch the villagers' work in the fields.

Mengda cut the wheat in the field for half a day by himself, and the rice was not fully ripe, so he was not in a hurry.But what he was thinking about was that he hoped that his father would bring Xiongda to help him collect them together.

In the end, I saw old man Meng coming to the field alone carrying a basket and holding a sickle in his hand.

At this time, the sun was already hanging in the middle, and it was the time when the sun was at its sunniest.Meng Da didn't see the person he wanted to see, frowned, and walked to the side of old man Meng with some displeasure in his heart.

"Father, where's my elder brother? Why didn't you come with you? Did something catch you at home?"

In his opinion, Mengxiong has always been bullied by them, this time old man Meng went to call him himself.If he's sensible, he probably won't stop coming.

It's just that Mengda was disappointed.

"He has other things to do, why should he come to help you?" After shouting, Meng Guohua buried his head and began to cut the wheat.

Today his old face is completely humiliated, but fortunately the big guys went to the ground to snatch it up, otherwise if it is rumored that he forced Xiongda to help them snatch it up, then he won't have to go out in the future.Just bury your face in your pants/crotch.

Meng Guohua's voice was not loud, but Meng Da could hear that the old man was angry at the big house.

"Father, how should I put it, you are also his father, no matter what he does, he can't stop listening to you? Look again, the harvest in other people's fields is almost the same, except for some unripe rice. , almost all the wheat has been taken back and put away at home. Look at ours again, it’s such a big piece, and only a little bit has been cut!”

Hearing Mengxiong's reluctance to help, Mengda's anger surged upwards.

"Shut up, you know all this, why don't you hurry up? Are you still pointing at me, an old man, to cut this piece?"

"I···"

Mengda really wanted to say yes, but after meeting the old man's eyes, he obediently shut up.
