80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 20: The cow is dead

Hearing that there were still so many people at home who had not eaten, Mei Xue stopped staying. "Okay, I'll come back later."

 “Well, I’m leaving.”

 After sending Aunt Mei Lian away, Mei Xue continued to clean up the yard. The chicken was very naughty and pooped everywhere, which was very smelly.

When she is free in the yard, Mei Xue thinks about buying some cement and spreading it out by herself. Otherwise, when it rains, there will be no good land and everything will be muddy puddles.

Mei Xue’s sense of belonging to this family is getting stronger and stronger, and she truly regards this place as her own home.

Shortly after Aunt Mei Lian left, Grandma He got up and was very happy to see Mei Xue busy in the yard.

"It's hot, you can do it later." Looking at Xiaoxue who was sweating profusely, Grandma He said with great distress.

Hearing grandma's voice, Mei Xue smiled, "Grandma, get up. Aunt Mei Lian came home just now."

Just as the work was almost done, within a short while, Mei Xue put down the broom and walked over to her grandma.

At this time, the light rain stopped, and there were puddles everywhere in the yard. There was really no good land.

 “Why is she here?”

“Aunt Mei Lian took Sister Lixia and the child to see a doctor this morning. At noon, I met those two people, so I hurried back to see if something happened to you, grandma.”

 Mei Xue is still very grateful to Aunt Mei Lian for her thoughtfulness.

"Huh, what can I do? Those two indifferent people are just talking bad about you everywhere." Grandma He said angrily.

"Whatever is important, just say it, and you won't lose a piece of meat." There are many people who scold her, and they are the most senior ones.

"Just don't worry, none of these fast-talking women are good." Grandma He dislikes these people the most.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, grandma, the rain has stopped. I will go to the field to check the water. I don’t know if the field is too full with water.”

 Mei Xue still likes farming.

"Sure, I'll go with you. You don't know how to look at water." Grandma He said with a smile on her face.

You should go and have a look after the rain stops, otherwise what will happen if the water soaks the roots?

Of course, Mei Xue would not tell her grandma not to go. She was just learning from her experience.

The two of them packed up and put on the new rain boots Mei Xue bought. Grandma He felt windy when she walked.

Looking at her arrogant look, Mei Xue thought her grandma was very cute.

We went all the way to our field, and sure enough, the two days of rain made the field full of water.

“Milk, what if this water goes into someone else’s field?” Mei Xue asked with a worried look on her face as she saw that there was someone else’s field under her own field.

"It's okay. I'll go check if there's any opening in the field below. If I don't help open one, it's because the rice is not short of water now, but it's afraid of water."

"Okay, grandma, I'll go down and have a look." Mei Xue looked happy as she looked at the rice that was growing better than the previous days.

 Other people’s rice has turned yellow, but theirs has just been packed.

There is not much work in the fields. After putting in the water, you wait for it to dry. Once it is dry, you can go back.

With nothing to do, Mei Xue soaked her feet in the stream. The cool water was very comfortable.

Grandma He was watching from the side, with a slight smile on her face when she saw Mei Xue's happy face.

 “Don’t soak in the water for too long, be careful if you catch a cold, or you may feel uncomfortable.”

“No way, I’m in good health. Grandma took care of me.”

After finishing the work in the fields, Mei Xue did not put enough water into the fields because of the rain. Besides, she only put water in the fields last time, so it was enough.

It turns out that the heavy rain has benefited the fields below.

 When I got home, smoke began to pour out of other people's chimneys, people who were busy outside also came back, and shouts came from every house.

Such a peaceful and stable day makes Mei Xue very comfortable.

 After returning home and cooking a delicious meal, Mei Xue began to enjoy the future.

“Miscellaneous, why is there no electricity in our village? I saw that the whole town has electricity.” Sitting under an osmanthus tree in the yard, Mei Xue asked as she looked down the mountain.

“Hey, why don’t you pull it? But there are many people in the village who want to pull it, but most of them don’t want to because they don’t have money.” Pulling electricity is not something you just say, you have to pay for it.

 You have to pay the electricity bill every month, which is all money.

She didn't agree to get one of the girls in the past, but now that there is Mei Xue in the family, Grandma He thinks it's time to get her.

“Someone will come to register again next month, and then our family will register.” Grandma He made up her mind.

After hearing this, Mei Xue was very happy, "Really?" Having light makes people feel at ease.

 The thing she dislikes the most is the dark night, so she fully agrees with the idea of ​​pulling on the electricity.

 “How much does it cost?”

“You don’t have much money, but grandma still has the money to pay for electricity. Don’t worry.” Do you have it?

 She didn’t, but it’s time to send someone to bring the letter to Anze.

He Anze has two names, one is He Anze, named according to the seniority of the He family, and the other is named He Junqi, given by his mother. He is called He Junqi to the outside world, and everyone in the village calls him He Anze.

 Hukou is also called He Junqi.

Grandma He thought about asking her grandson to come back with some money and turn on the electricity first, so that it would be more convenient for them to live in the future.

Meixue didn't know what Grandma He was thinking. Of course she didn't care about money. It didn't matter whether Grandma had money or not, as long as she had it.

When I got up the next day, I heard someone crying in the village, which shocked Mei Xue.

 “Grandma, what’s going on?” If you cry like this, is it a dead person?

Grandma He was also startled. She hurriedly walked to the door and looked down. She saw everyone gathered behind the Zhengsong house by the creek.

Grandma He thought for a while and immediately said: "Zhengsong's parents are gone long ago. His wife is crying at this time. Who is in trouble?"

Meixue didn’t know Zhengsong, but when she saw Aunt Xilian and the others coming out, she immediately pulled her grandma and pointed to the side of her house.

Grandma He opened the door and walked out.

 As soon as you see someone, ask: "What's going on?"

Those who had quick feet had already gone down to get the letter and were now running up.

“Third Grandma, it was Uncle Zhengsong’s cow that was crushed to death. A piece of the mountain in their backyard fell off yesterday and hit the cowshed.”

The speaker is He Anwen, who lives in Aunt Xilian's house. He is twenty years old and currently earns money by cutting down trees at home.

“Hey, why did you drive the cows back home when you knew it was going to rain?” The cowsheds in Shuli were all built under the Feishan Temple. The ground there was flat and the land belonged to the team.

On weekdays, no one takes their cows home because they smell too bad, so they keep them in the cowshed next to Feishan Temple.

"It seems that the cow had diarrhea, so Aunt Zhengsong took the cow home. Now I plan to go see Uncle Zhengsheng." He Anwen was like a spy, and the information he got was complete.

Mei Xue looked at the boy with admiration in her eyes, he was such a talent.

 After receiving the information, everyone didn’t even make breakfast, and then went home to cook.

 The men went straight down the mountain after getting up and went to Zhengsong's house to have fun.

 Various requests for new books, recommendation votes, collections, don’t stop giving rewards, thank you
