The Guo family is quite good in the village, the soybeans are piled up in their backyard after harvesting, and only part of the corn is cut and thrown into the ground, and there is no time to break the cobs back, all of which are covered by ice and snow.

I don't know if there will be warm weather in the future, and it is definitely not okay to sit at home and wait for the snow to melt before harvesting the crops.

After the snow stopped, Chunyang, Zhi'en and Li Dongmei went to work in the fields.

After the buds are put down, they are thrown together in a pile, and the snow covers them to form a small snow bag, and in the spring sun, they have to pull the snow paverick aside with their hands, and then pull out the bud rice canados from the ice ballast, and finally put down the bud rice sticks.

The process of doing this work was very painful.

Gloves will melt when they are stained with ice and snow, and they will get wet after wearing them for a while, which not only affects the speed of work but also makes it very uncomfortable, so you can only go into battle with your bare hands.

Chunyang picked up buds in the ice and snow for two days, and the crops in the field finally received home, and her hands were also ruined.

Six of the ten fingers were frozen, not to mention being fatter than before, and it was very itchy and uncomfortable when it came to a hot place. In addition, she also had a lot of small cuts on her hands that had been scratched by ice ballast or bud rice leaves, and it hurt to wash her hands with cold or hot water.

Li Dongmei's situation is similar to her, but she didn't rest for a day after helping the Guo family harvest the crops, and immediately went to work for other people's families, and still didn't charge money as long as food.

Ordinary people have to admit that if they want to live in peace, it is impossible for pies to fall from the sky. Dongmei knows this best, so she is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, as long as she can control her own destiny, she can grit her teeth and get through no matter how difficult things are.

At this time, everyone is in a hurry, I can't wait for a person to give birth to eight hands to work, the people who talked behind the back earlier all shut up, and the people who disliked her and avoided her were also enthusiastic, so Dongmei's business was very good, and some people booked the next day before the work was done, and some people even offered to give more food in order to grab labor!

At the end of the agricultural holidays, teachers and students returned to school.

Chunyang noticed that the hands of the students she taught in the two classes were similar to hers, frozen like carrots, and there were small wounds on them.

The children and sons of the first and second grades have to work in the fields, which shows how short of manpower each family is and how tense the situation is during the autumn harvest.

There are still several students in the fifth and sixth grades who have worked in the fields and have not come to class, and Principal Liu, who has been paid a monthly salary, is particularly conscientious, using the school time to do work from house to house, so that parents can pay attention to their children's education, and no matter what, they cannot delay their children's classes.

Unfortunately, little has been achieved.

The vast majority of people in the village do not have such a long-term vision, and they only have the one acre and three points of land as far as they can see, and they can't imagine that the children will have a broader world in the future.

Compared with other families in the village, the Li family's autumn harvest is more difficult.

Because at this most critical time, Old Man Li's feet were trampled on by the cow!

So the boss's cow, a sturdy hoof on the feet of the old man Li, he couldn't speak, and he couldn't take off his shoes, Li Guangzhu's brothers and the three of them sent the old man Li to the health center, and the hygienist judged that he had injured his bones and had to go to the big hospital to take a film.

The big hospital is far away, and it takes three or four days to come and go, and it will delay things more.

Li Guangzhu's brothers and sons didn't want to delay this time, let alone pay money, and at the same time, they didn't want to bear the reputation of an unfilial son, so they didn't speak like a stuffy gourd, waiting for others to make a decision.

In the end, it was Old Man Li who decided not to go to the big hospital and went home immediately after a simple treatment at the health center. The sons went back to their respective homes and hurried down to the fields to harvest the crops, and he could not go down to work in the fields, so he picked up the budding rice sticks with the skin at home.

Old man Li and his wife planted their own land, and their sons came to help them after they finished their own work. Now that he was injured and could not go to the field, his daughter-in-law could only take care of him while going down to the field to harvest the crops, and she was tired and anxious, and she also fell ill.

They could not go down to the field to harvest the crops, and all the work in the field could only count on the three sons.

When the old couple was anxious and angry, something bad happened.

Li Guangzhu overturned on the way home to pull the crops, and the livestock and crops were fine, but Li Guangzhu was smashed enough to choke, and the injury was more serious than that of the old man Li.

Cao Yun and Li Yonggang took him to see the injury, and Li Yongqiang asked the school for leave to work at home, but there was too much work in the field, and it took him and Li Guilan seven or eight days to recover all the crops.

Seven or eight days is not short, and these two days are cloudy and cloudy, and it may snow at any time, of course, the sooner the land is harvested, the more assured.

At this time, Li Guilan thought that she had a divorced girl.

In the evening, she came to Li Dongmei and asked Li Dongmei to harvest autumn for her family from tomorrow.

Li Dongmei, who had already been heartbroken, was unhappy, Liu Guilan did not change her life and scolded Dongmei, and after finding that the scolding was not good, she began to soften it again, crying and begging Dongmei for help.

Dongmei almost relented, really, just a little bit.

Just when she was about to let go, Li Guilan mentioned Qiaoya, which suddenly made Dongmei sober up.

Her parents didn't treat her as a human being at all, she was a debtor when she was in debt, and she was a random animal when she was working...

They were so ruthless, what else was she expecting?

The best choice is not to trust them, stay away from them, and don't ask or meddle in whatever happens.

Li Guilan saw that she was soft and hard and didn't eat enough qi, and when she left, she threw the door angrily, and kicked the cane several times, kicking all the good canes.

After she left, Chunyang immediately came over to see Dongmei, and after understanding the situation, Chunyang said very approvingly: "Eldest sister, you did the right thing, you shouldn't follow her, or you should specify that there will be a next time." They are leeches, they specialize in sucking your blood, and you can't let them bite if you want to live. ”

Dongmei smiled bitterly: "Don't just talk about me, don't you too." ”

Yes, they are all the same, but Chunyang is more fortunate to get out of that cold home at a young age, and he didn't let more tragedies happen to him.

Chunyang was afraid that the eldest sister would be upset and change the topic in time, so she took out a gala oil from her padded jacket pocket and said, "Auntie went to buy it today, I bought two, let me take one for you, she said that your hands and face must be protected." ”

Dongmei took the gala oil and felt warm in her heart, and said to Chunyang with a smile: "Auntie is a good person, you can't be wrong in the future when you come to such a family." I'm not busy when I turn around, I'll make a pot of tofu and divide them in half, and we have to have a relationship. ”

Dongmei did what she said, and the land in the village was almost harvested, and after no one asked her to work, she began to collect tools and prepare to make tofu.

Before the tofu was made, her small grass house became lively, and every once in a while, women came to the door to introduce her to a partner, as if she couldn't live if she didn't marry a man.
