Yuanyang Farming Story

Chapter 8

By the time Xiaoxiu and Xiaosu came back from the market, the sun had already risen so high that it was estimated to be ninety o'clock, and the snacks they had brought for the good woman were already cold, although they were cold But the good woman is also happy to hold it in her hand.My Xiaoxiu still misses my old lady.So happily helping to wash rice and cook.It didn't take much time for the meal to be ready. For lunch, I simply fried a vegetarian dish and made another bowl of soup. The three of them were sitting at the table eating when they heard someone knocking on the door.Xiaoxiu and the good woman looked at each other, who would come during this meal?

Xiaoxiu put down her rice bowl and went to open the door, Su Zheng was so absorbed in eating that she didn't pay attention to Xiaoxiu's movements.Just as Xiaoxiu was going to open the door, there was another knock on the door. Xiaoxiu hurriedly took two steps, and when she opened the door, it turned out to be Xiaosi's daughter-in-law, holding her child in her arms.Seeing Xiaoxiu opened the door, the fourth daughter-in-law squeezed in, ran into the room and sat down.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiu stood up with the good woman and Su Zhengquan. Looking at the appearance of the fourth daughter-in-law, she must know that her family's land has been redistributed to Xiaosu by the village.It's just that the village is in charge of this land, Xiaoxiu is very surprised that the fourth daughter-in-law doesn't look for the village cadres, what is she doing looking for Xiaosu?But when people come to the door, they always want to say hello: "Fourth sister, have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, come eat with us."

The fourth daughter-in-law was also polite: "I didn't eat it, and neither did my Xiaomao. The land at home has been taken over by you. If you don't ask your house for food, which one should you look for?" Spicy food is spicy food, just for eating The emperor is big, fill up his belly first and then bother with her.So Xiaoxiu swallowed her breath and filled a meal for the fourth daughter-in-law.It was Xiao Su who looked at the mother and child very curiously.

Xiaosu just wanted to add food, so she went with her, and asked Xiaoxiu in private: "Xiaoxiu, who are they, are they relatives?"

relative? !Xiaoxiu bowed to the sky, thank God, it is already very difficult for such a woman to be a neighbor, if it is a relative, it is really too hurtful.The fourth daughter-in-law is well-known in the whole village, but it's no wonder that the fourth daughter-in-law's mother is such a person.Usually, you take a handful of other people's food in the east, and a handful of rice in the west. If you have a small matter with others, you have to force the other party out of the door.As the saying goes, if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. If there is such a mother, there will be such a daughter.What a family of spicy goods!Xiaoxiu didn't want Xiaosu to worry about this matter, so she nodded indiscriminately.

Seeing the fourth daughter-in-law, mother and son, Xiaoxiu had no appetite to eat anymore, so she just sat on the table and listened to the fourth daughter-in-law scolding while eating. "The village chief really has his conscience eaten by dogs. My man is dead and I am still alive, and my baby is still there. Why do you want to strip my land for others?"

"I think my little four helped the team a lot when I was working. No matter what people do in the village, they don't need to be there as soon as they are called, but at least they try their best to help."

"Now that Xiao Si is gone, you can't tolerate the two of us left as orphans and widowed mothers? You divided my land and wanted to drive me away. It's not good to be a good person. It's a bad conscience. What do you do? You can see it." The fourth daughter-in-law finished eating and concentrated on feeding her children, continuing to talk while feeding.

"Say a thousand, say ten thousand, this child is the seed of their Liu family, even if there is no favor, at least there must be a way for the child to survive. Now that there is no food, no land, how can my little Mao live? "

Xiaoxiu felt a headache and wished she hadn't opened the door. "Fourth sister, if you have anything to do, don't hesitate to go to the village. Xiao Su has just transferred here, so she doesn't understand anything. Look at him, he is a soldier who defends his family and country, and he is already deaf. He will be looking for a wife in the future." It's also difficult. Fourth sister, he can't understand a word of what you are saying now, and it's meaningless to say more. It's not that I, Xiaoxiu, don't understand the truth. If you want to live, he will live too. You are all ordinary people. If there is something to do, I still have to go to the village."

The fourth daughter-in-law was silent when she heard this, but the tears just fell straight down. "My good woman, why is my life so hard? When someone marries and lives together, you don't have to worry about outside the family. Only I lost my master at a young age, and the village still bullies me and no one is the master. What do you call me in these days?" How do I live? Good woman, look at my Xiaomao again. This year, Xiaomao is five years old. Xiaomao needs to eat, use and study. There is a little field at home, and I can earn some income by planting. Now there are only two broken houses. What do you want me to do? Raising big and small hairs?"

The fourth daughter-in-law said bitterness, and the good mother-in-law could shed tears when she heard it, but it was about Xiao Su. There is no father, but his father-in-law and grandma are still there, after all, it is the blood of his Liu family that he can't ignore..."

The fourth daughter-in-law was furious when she heard it: "My good woman, I won't go all the way again. I want to see my little Mao grow up, to be successful, to make a lot of money, and to beg for a wife. I won't go again no matter what I say." Yes. My good woman, please help me and ask him to take the field and give me back." As she said, the fourth daughter-in-law pulled Xiao Mao and was about to kneel down. The eyes that came out were scary.

The good woman hurriedly and Xiaoxiu pulled the fourth daughter-in-law up, and Xiaoxiu took Xiaomao and exchanged it in her hand.The good woman took the fourth daughter-in-law to the back room and talked for a long time, and it was only around three or four o'clock that the fourth daughter-in-law left with Xiao Mao.During this period, Xiao Su has been playing with Xiao Mao. Although Xiao Su can't speak, Xiao Su's dexterity can make some small things by pulling some leaves, which makes Xiao Mao very happy.

"My good woman, fourth sister is poor. Didn't the village say that she would go all the way again? Why can't she just say so?" Xiaoxiu still remembered the day when the fields were drawn, and the village said so.

The good woman sighed, "Xiaoxiu, men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. In the future, if you want to find someone, a good woman will definitely help you to check it out. It's really pitiful to be like your fourth sister."

After nightfall, Xiaoxiu couldn't sleep all the time, so she went into the courtyard to farm.Now there are almost ten mu of land in the courtyard, Xiaoxiu thought about dividing the land into two halves, one half for growing vegetables and the other half for growing herbs.Xiaoxiu knows how to grow vegetables, and she often does it, but she has never grown herbs.As long as you grow vegetables, first level the ground, then dig a hole about two centimeters deep to plant the herbal seeds, and then plant another one at an interval of about ten centimeters.

Just like this until the seeds in the bag were all gone, Xiao Xiucai stopped, and only after she stopped did she realize that this waist was no longer her own.But when I look at what I have planted, I feel a sense of accomplishment.It is estimated that in another week, Xiao Su will be able to eat the medicinal materials grown in this space.While thinking about it, I went to the river pond to wash my hands.Xiaoxiu felt comfortable as soon as she stretched out her hand, the water was actually warm.

The water temperature was still cool when I dug it at the beginning, how could it become warm if I didn't pay attention?With an idea, Xiaoxiu went out of the courtyard, and lightly carried a bathtub into the courtyard.Then fetch water to take a bath, Xiaoxiu just feels comfortable after soaking in the tub.I'm afraid I won't get up after being soaked in it for the rest of my life.I wonder if this is homemade hot spring water?But Xiaoxiu didn't soak for long, the good woman got up in the middle of the night, and after she got up, she always came to see Xiaoxiu, helping to pull the quilt and so on.So Xiaoxiu got up obediently and went back to bed to sleep.

It's just that Xiaoxiu hasn't slept for a long time, and it's bustling outside.Some shouted for fire, and some shouted for help.Xiaoxiu got up in a hurry.When I opened the gate, it turned out that the village chief's house in the east of the village was on fire, and the flames were brightly lit.Xiaoxiu hurriedly took the basin to help.
