Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 72

Then Mrs. Xu came over a few more times, and even brought her niece Da Ya over once. Naturally, she praised her for being hardworking and able to work. Xu's niece, why don't you find someone to marry well, and you have to be a maid for someone else?

He didn't have a straight face on the face, but he felt very disapproving in his heart.

As for the old house, Ye Huier was very upset when she saw that Mrs. Xu went to report to Mrs. Wu every day, and said to Mrs. Guo: "Mother, look at the fourth sister-in-law. She doesn't go home every day, so she runs over there, where is she?" See you seriously? Now her niece is still letting her niece live in our house, making it seem like she owns our house! Isn’t it just working as a maid in a rich family? It’s not a big deal, it gives people Damn, my brother doesn't dislike her, she doesn't say anything if she doesn't appreciate her, and she gets close to outsiders, even your own mother-in-law won't serve her!"

After hearing Ye Huier's words, Mrs. Guo said: "She is the head of the family? I haven't held my breath yet. Don't worry, there will be no chaos in this family! Huier, let's not think about Mr. Qi, I can't see it! It looks scary !"

"I don't! Mother, think about it. If that thing really happens, whoever sees you will have to respect you from now on? Mother, you can think of a way for me." After teaching Ye Gen a lesson, he didn't feel scared, but felt that Mr. Qi really has the ability, and the thoughts in his heart became bigger, and he thought about it every day.

Guo Shi said: "Mother really has nothing to do, we can't afford to offend someone like Mr. Qi. It's not what we thought." Ye Zhu's pressure is just the behavior of Mr. Qi last time. He doesn't seem like a person who can listen to any of them. We are all ordinary people, and we are not on the same level as Mr. Qi. Of course, if we can climb up with Mr. Qi Relatives, that's great, the problem is that you don't have the qualifications.

"It will be fine when your brother is admitted as a scholar, how about next year?" Guo said.

Ye Huier was angry, next year, next year, who knows if the fourth brother will pass the exam?Mother also said that she hurts me, so this is the way to hurt me?Do everything for the fourth brother, but do nothing for yourself!It really is eccentric.

It took Guo a long time to persuade Ye Huier, but she didn't know what Ye Huier was thinking.

Xiaoqiao's cousin, Xiaoshan, also came here, bringing books to both Lixia and Xiaoqiao. Mrs. Xu hurried over with her niece and daughter, and kept praising her niece in front of Wu Shan. Son, Wu Shan just smiled politely and didn't say anything. After Mrs. Xu was politely driven away by Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu said to Wu Shan very embarrassedly: "Xiao Shan, don't listen to her nonsense, we Be calm, in the future, if you are outside, if you really want to pass the Juren exam, there will not only be people like her, but there will be many people worse than her, so we have to hold on."

Wu Shan also said solemnly: "Gu, I understand!"

No matter how you say it, this Xu's behavior is very embarrassing, Wu can't wait to slap her, there is no way to guard against it, people can't come in, they are not allowed to enter, and besides their current house, the courtyard door is not closed during the day, In the countryside, everyone keeps their doors open. If you close the door, you will be out of tune with everyone.

Xiaoqiao thinks that Mrs. Xu is idle, if Mrs. Guo gives her something to do, will she still come to visit every day?

After midsummer, it’s time to harvest wheat again. Xiaoqiao’s family made an agreement that they should finish their own work first, and then help others. Of course, others refer to the house, the rural area, If you don't help your family, no matter what you say, you will be poked in the back, but it's perfectly normal for you to do your own work first.

Wu said: "Our family also has a lot of dry land this year, and our family also needs to eat and drink. The weather will change as soon as it changes. We must finish our own work first. His father, we still have four children."

After hearing Wu's words, Ye Zhu said, "His mother, I understand, our family is Lixia now, and he can do whatever he says."

Li Xia said: "In the past, my fourth uncle didn't do much of their work. Sooner or later, my fourth uncle will establish a family. We can't help for a lifetime, or we will harm my fourth uncle. In the past, my fourth uncle was studying, and we It’s okay to help, and now that my fourth uncle is not in school, he can still work.”

In short, everyone has discussed and finished their own work first. In fact, according to Ye Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng's thinking, that is, they will not help at all, or they will wait for you to finish your work, and then come What to do?But father and elder brother are thoughtful people, as girls, they don't have much decision-making power.

The old man is not good in other aspects, but he is also a leader in work.It is impossible to wait for everyone to finish before starting to do it.

Ye Yong and Ye Tian have the same idea, since the family has been separated, it should look like a separated family, otherwise is it the same as not having a separated family?He is always used to Ye Gen, he is so used to it that he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and no one owes him anything.

So Ye Gen didn't invite anyone, and everyone went to do their own work. After hearing this, Mrs. Guo said to the old man: "Look, you are still here, just treat us like this, and we will be gone later. Our fourth child should not be bullied to death?"

The old man said for a while: "Why do you say these sour words? The fourth child owns his own field, why don't he work? He didn't have a family before, so he quit if he didn't want to work. Now that the daughter-in-law is married, it's okay to work in the fields. It should be! Who can control who for the rest of his life? When he becomes a father in the future, why don't he show off to the children?"

In fact, the old man was not happy when he heard that everyone didn't come. He used to be there on call, but now, alas, people's hearts are not in harmony.He didn't expect that his other three sons also had families and mouths, and those people were also his grandchildren, and they also had to eat.When the family was separated, they were biased, and now they are even more biased.

"They all go to the fields, and the fourth child should also do work. What's the point of being idle every day? We country people rely on the land for food."

What else did Mrs. Guo want to say, but the old man still insisted. He was thinking, the fourth child has failed to study until now, and he was still afraid that this book would be for nothing in the future. If he is gone, he will not even be able to farm, what will happen in the future ?Don't let the fourth child take the exam again, isn't the book I read before all wasted?But this time and again, the old man's heart is almost cold. Forget it, let the fourth child lean on him again, and do the work in the field properly. Now that I can still move, I will also teach him. It's not too late.

Cutting wheat is tiring and dirty. Those wheat awns accidentally pierce your fingers. It hurts so much. Ye Zhu loves his daughter so much, so he didn't let Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng cut it. Xiaofeng stayed at home and made it for the big guys. Xiaoqiao followed behind to pick up uncleaned ears of wheat, the school was on holiday, and Liqiu was also working.

During the busy farming season, everyone is afraid of changing weather, especially in this kind of weather. If it rains for a few days, the wheat will fall and sprout in the field, and the harvest of this year will be much reduced.

If the weather is hot during the day, it will also be dried at night with lanterns lit. Usually, it will be dried for several days. After the wheat is bundled and placed on the dojo, it must be beaten down, ashes, and dried in the sun.

People with livestock are much better off. People without livestock rely entirely on manpower. After a harvest season, people are exhausted.

But at this time, as long as the family can afford meat, they will find ways to buy some. After eating meat, they will have the strength to work more. Otherwise, people will be exhausted, the crops will not be harvested, and people will collapse.

When there was no separation before, Ye Xiaoqiao and the others couldn't eat meat at all. Ye Hui'er and Ye Gen had meat to eat when they were idle, and some minced meat was enough for the workers.

This year I was doing work for my own family, and I still had some spare money on hand, so Mrs. Wu was willing to buy some meat and bones from time to time.

Xiaofeng cooked for a day, and wanted to change it with Xiaoqiao. Xiaofeng always liked to be outside, and she was a little impatient to be detained at home by Mrs. Wu. She would rather go to the fields for this good opportunity to harvest wheat Going to pick up wheat ears, so I chatted with Xiaoqiao, and finally got my wish, Wu sighed in her heart, she originally wanted to let this girl grow whiter at home, so that she could talk to her in-laws in the future, but now that she is in the field, she has to get tanned again up?

On the third day, Xiaoqiao's two uncles and aunts came over. Their family didn't have many fields, because they had sideline jobs, so they didn't have to worry about running out of food. After finishing their work on the fields at home, they came to help Mrs. Wu is busy here.

Ye Zhu was very grateful for the arrival of his brother-in-law, and Mrs. Wu gave Xiaoqiao some money to buy more meat and a few pieces of tofu. Aunt Wu saw that only Xiaoqiao was left alone. When cooking at home, I asked Mrs. Wu: "Second Sister, can Xiaoqiao do it alone? Or, tomorrow I will ask Lotus to come over and help her."

Wu said: "Xiaoqiao made it, she and her sister did it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu smiled and said to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang: "Second sister is more fortunate. The children are all obedient and sensible. Second sister, you have survived!" I didn't dare to send things over, knowing that sending them over would be a waste of time, and the conditions at home in the past were not as good as they are now.The old Ye family still looks down on their Wu family.

But now it's all right, the family's conditions are getting better every year, and Xiao Shan has become a scholar, who in the village doesn't respect him?
Mrs. Zhang also laughed, and several people went to work in the field.

Ye Xiaoqiao bought cool tofu from the tofu maker in the village, and she was going to make fried tofu. The workers worked hard, so she bought several big bones and stewed a pot of soup. Of course, the fat and thin Pork must also be available, eating this will give you strength.

"Xiaoqiao, did you go to buy tofu just now?" I met Zhang Meng on the road. Now that the school is on holiday, he is also free. The landlord Zhang has a lot of land, but it is not his turn to work. Their family has tenants , and long-term workers, Zhang Meng is simply playing.

Ye Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "It's going to be hot in a while, you should go back quickly." He's skinny and tender, don't get sunburned.

Zhang Meng smiled and said: "It's okay, have you finished your homework? If not, my home has many long-term workers. I'll call a few over in a while and help you do it!" Zhang Meng thought he was very Loyalty, but Xiaoqiao heard that there was a black line on his forehead. If he really let Zhang's long-term workers come to help his family, wouldn't the gossip in the village be dead?
