Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder Girl's Counterattack

Chapter 7
Mom snorted: "How do you say it's the same as other people's family? Now that Du Cheng is going to the city, they will laugh at your sister to death in the future!"

"I don't care. Live your life for others to see? Let's get to work," I said.

Mom was still muttering, and I stopped listening, and went straight back to the cornfield and started breaking corn.

I thought that the Du family had a quarrel at my house yesterday, and this time their wedding banquet must be a special event to save face.

The eldest brother came to me and said in a low voice: "Why don't you go shopping elsewhere on the day they get married?"

"I didn't do anything bad, what do I need to hide?" I broke off the corn and threw it on the ground.

The eldest brother was finally relieved, he had been working in the corn field on the edge of the field, obviously waiting for Lin Cailian.

I couldn't help pursing my lips and bumping him with my arm: "Don't be too obvious, what should I do if my mother sees it?"

The eldest brother said in a low voice: "If she had come earlier, why is it so late and there is no sign of her? Could something have happened at home?"

Just as I was about to speak, my mother had already stood behind us and patted him on the back of the neck angrily: "I knew you were waiting for her, you deserve a beating!"

"I'm not waiting for anyone, let's work quickly." The elder brother lowered his head to break the corn again.

My mother gritted her teeth: "You're just thinking about that prodigal, I tell you, no way! If you want to marry her, first step over my dead body!"

No matter what she said, the eldest brother would not respond, but his endurance is much stronger than mine.

Not long after, I saw Lin Cailian walking from the direction of her own field carrying a lunch box. She had a slender body and a fair face. She was wearing a coarse plaid jacket, a pair of black trousers underneath, and two big legs on her knees. It's patched, but it's very clean. My brother was relieved when he saw her coming.

My mother turned her head and stared at her elder brother: "What are you doing standing here? Go work inside!"

The eldest brother hurriedly lowered his head and got into the cornfield behind.In front of his mother, he dared not talk to his sweetheart.

Lin Cailian nodded timidly to Li Cai, and was about to enter the field.

I hastily greeted her proactively: "Sister Cailian, you came late today!" I was asking for my eldest brother.

"Well, I got up a little late today." Lin Cailian forced a smile.

"Pay attention to your body, you are the only one doing farm work, what if you are exhausted?"

"I'm fine, and so are you. You're not in a good mood recently, right? Don't worry too much." Lin Cailian was probably moved when she saw that I, who had always been indifferent to herself, became so talkative.

Mom stared at me: "Are you working or chatting? Cut off your tongue if you are talking nonsense! If you don't work hard for a day, you will know how to play cheap here, lest others will not know that you are here. ?”

Lin Cailian knew she was scolding her, so she went into the corn field without saying a word. I peeked at her and saw the corn that had been broken off like a hill. She froze for a moment, then lowered her head and continued work.

The weather started to heat up, the three of us were thirsty and our arms were very numb, but in order to finish picking all the corn before the hottest day at noon, we had to grit our teeth and break it off.

All the picked corn was piled up on the side of the road, and then one person and one cart carried the corn back to their own yard to dry in the sun.

My elder brother wanted to help Lin Cailian push the cart several times, but my mother always found out and just kept looking at him.

"I want to see where you are going! Instead of doing your own work, you are doing free work for other people's home. Why are you learning from Qiaoer! You are cheap, or are you fascinated by some monster?"

Lin Cailian looked embarrassed.

I said angrily: "If you are talking about those things in the past, I won't do it!" I threw the cart aside and walked forward, and my anxious mother pulled me behind: "I didn't say you ! What are you doing with this car here?"

"You've already mentioned my name, why don't you admit it? Didn't I ask the Du family to give you money? I'll go find my second brother to work, it will save me a lot of effort!"

Mom can only talk nice things to me all the way with a smiling face, she doesn't want the second brother to work hard.

I looked back at my elder brother, and said in my heart, this is an opportunity for you, cherish it?Anyway, when mom can't see, you can help her.

The eldest brother waved his hand gratefully to me, with a bright smile on his face.

After we finished these tasks, it was already noon, and we were all so tired that we didn’t have the strength to eat. I struggled to cook some sweet potato porridge, and the three of us ate.

The elder brother took a few mouthfuls and said, "Mom, I don't have much work in the afternoon, so let Qiaoer go to the town to sell."

"Why sell this well? I'm not short of money!" Mom refused without raising her eyelids.Those vegetables are the only ones that can be seen in cash at home, and she is really reluctant to sell them.

The eldest brother said: "If you don't sell the vegetables, you will grow old. Now Liu Cui's family is going to have a wedding, so you have to be a little more casual, right? Besides, it's autumn, and I always have to make autumn clothes for my second brother and sister. The family is the first." It's not good to be so shabby when you marry in the year."

I gave him a thumbs up behind my mother's back, the eldest brother is really smart and knows what to say.As long as we start from the second brother, Li Cai will definitely agree.

Mom thought for a while before nodding: "Okay then, Qiaozhen and I will go together."

I hurriedly said: "So it takes two people to order food? Don't worry, I will hand over all the food money to you, can I still deceive you?"

Mom snorted: "You are not as good at calculating as I am, you can't lie to me."

After eating, my eldest brother helped me pick dozens of catties of various vegetables from the backyard, put them all in the cleaned fertilizer bags, and put the vegetables directly on the back of the old bicycle at home.

Mom gave me a scale, and took out the red handkerchief that I carried with me. There were some small change inside, which was used to get change. It was only three or two yuan. She counted it several times one by one, and then took it back. Some, and then think about it and get back a few cents.

I said anxiously: "Mom! Why do you do this every time? It's not like I won't pay you back. Giving me some money is like killing you."

"You're saying I won't let you go!"

"Then go on your own, and don't look for me if you make a mistake at that time."

Seeing that I was being stubborn again, my mother had to give me all the money: "Hurry up! Don't be angry with me here!"

"What's the hurry, take a break." I went back to the wing room with a smile on my face, lay down on the kang and slept for a while before setting off. My mother was worried several times, looking back and forth at the money beside me, for fear of losing it.

When I was leaving, my elder brother helped me push the car out of the courtyard gate: "Go early and come back early! Be careful when riding."

"Don't worry, brother!" I stepped on the bicycle and left.

I went to the cave in the woods first, took the two bags of wild fruits and mushrooms with me, and then went to the town.

Although the dirt roads in the village are not cement roads, they are well cleaned up. When encountering uphill places, I stop and push the car for a few steps. Most of the time, I ride a bicycle and ride forward facing the wind. Cozy.

When passing by a crossroad in a neighboring village, I saw a little boy in a white coat running out from under the field ridge, with a steamed bun in one hand and a large piece of red meat in the other, and was eating while heading towards the small river. run in the direction.I didn't notice my car, and I was about to hit it, so I jumped off.

The child sat directly next to the car, which scared me into a cold sweat.

"Are you OK?"

Who knew that the child was not afraid, but just made a face at me and ran away quickly.

At this time, another person ran out from the ridge next to him. This person apologized to me: "I'm sorry! My Jingzi didn't do it on purpose!"

This man was in his early twenties, wearing a blue striped sweater, black trousers, neatly combed hair, dark skin, tall and strong figure, and showed his white teeth when he smiled.

"It's okay." I thought to myself, this man is well dressed, did he just go to meet someone?
The person opposite was also a little nervous: "I'm from the next village, my name is Song Dong, and this is my younger brother Song Jing. I came here to see relatives... Actually, I'm here to find a match, but people think I have too many brothers. No, ah, look how I tell you this."
