Chapter 81: Out of Sight, Out of Mind
When Xia Qiu returned home, Xia Xue and Xia Yu both returned.
She put down her bag and went out to get the bucket and scoop.
"Summer rain, summer snow, let's go water the vegetables, and pull the weeds by the way. β
She shouted towards the house, and heard Xia Xue complain: "Sister, we just got out of school, so let's rest." β
Xia Qiu went in with a bucket and watched Xia Xue sitting listlessly at the square table.
She didn't feel distressed either, so she pulled her up and got up.
"If you don't go, it'll be dark, do you want to work in the dark?"
Xia Yu was a well-behaved person, and obediently followed out of the house.
Xia Xue reluctantly followed behind, complaining, and arrived at the door in the field that Liu Zhaodi and the others had exchanged.
The afterglow of sunset sprinkles on the field, outlining a beautiful landscape painting of the sunset in the field.
In the field, the vegetables are watered in summer and autumn, the vegetables are pulled in the summer snow, and the summer rain helps pull the weeds.
The three sisters worked together and were very busy.
"Xia Qiu, how about the sisters who came to work in the fields just after school?"
Xia Shiqian's wife, Wang Yuehua, walked over with a hoe on her back and a kind smile.
When she reached the ridge of their house, she stopped and glanced at the various vegetables grown in the field.
"Granny Wang. β
Xia Qiu pulled Xia Yu and called Wang Yuehua.
"Xia Qiu, your sisters have a few good dishes. β
Xia Shiqian, the village chief who followed closely, couldn't help but praise the dishes when he saw that the dishes were good.
"Xia Qiu, I heard that you are growing so many vegetables now, are you going to sell them in the town?"
Wang Yuehua came up and asked softly.
Xia Qiu knew that this matter would not be hidden for a long time, and the neighbors in the neighborhood would know about it sooner or later, and they did not plan to hide it.
"Yes, Granny Wang, we grow some vegetables to sell, we can't subsidize the family, and we can buy the stationery we need for school. β
But how much you earn, that can't be said, you can only modestly say enough to buy stationery.
Xia Shiqian was very pleased and said: "Okay, you know how to share the burden with your parents, and you have grown up, and your family will definitely be able to get better in the future." β
"Xia Qiu, although you can make money, the money you make must be hidden, don't be taken away by your second aunt and third aunt, or your grandfather. β
Wang Yuehua suddenly leaned over and whispered.
Xia Qiu felt very warm in her heart, and responded with a light smile.
"Well, I know, Granny Wang, don't worry. β
In this village, the people who care about their family are probably the village chief and his wife.
"Okay, that's good. β
Wang Yuehua patted Xia Qiu's shoulder with a smile and said, "Then you should continue to be busy, serve these dishes early, go home early, don't be busy until it gets dark and you can't see the road." β
After speaking, she called Xia Shiqian and walked away with a hoe.
Xia Qiu saw Wang Yuehua and Xia Shiqian walking on the path, talking from time to time, and when they reached the road, they also held hands.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, shining brightly.
"Sister, Granny Wang and Grandpa the village chief are really affectionate, they are still holding hands when they are so old. β
Xia Xue looked at the back of the hand-in-hand, and couldn't help but say.
Xia Qiu didn't want to talk about love with Xia Xue, so she only said: "They are good people, so they are also good for their families." β
"Yes, grandpa and the second aunt and the third aunt...... It's all bad people, so they just bully us. β
Xia Xue was indignant.
"But in the future, we won't let them bully, let them know that it is impossible to bully people for a lifetime, and they will live better than them, and they will be angry with them. β
"Alright, don't be angry with them. β
Xia Qiu patted her on the shoulder, made a little adult appearance, and said, "You have to remember that we don't need to be angry with those who don't love us, as long as we live a good life at home, those things are fine." β
"yes, that makes sense. β
Xia Xue nodded in agreement.
Xia Qiu raised her eyebrows, snickered and said, "So, let's work." β
Xia Xue, who was originally high-spirited, suddenly gave up.
"Why is my life so bitter, I have to serve food every day, when will such a day be a head?"
Although she complained like this, her busy movements began.
After an hour of busyness, seeing that it was getting dark, they were finally done.
The three sisters each carried some vegetables they had picked up in the vegetable field and went home.
The road is narrow, and before they got home, they met Liu Zhaodi and Wang Lihua.
Each of them picked a lot of vegetables and came back, presumably from the tree.
When Liu Zhaodi saw Xia Qiu, she felt uncomfortable.
Thinking that her son is now in No. 3 Middle School, and Xia Qiu is in No. 1 Middle School, she can't wait to rush into Nanwan No. 1 Middle School to pull her out of the classroom and let the principal fire her.
"Cheap hooves, so cunning at a young age, and you still have it when you grow up?"
She was unprepared and muttered something in a low voice.
Although the voice was soft, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet of the village, especially in the summer and autumn when they were only a few meters away from her.
The three girls, naturally, heard them all word for word.
Xia Xue was impulsive, and when she heard Liu Zhaodi say this, she was about to rush over and quarrel with Liu Zhaodi.
Xia Qiu grabbed her, gave her a look, and dragged her back to the house.
"Sister, what are you pulling me for? Didn't you hear what she just said?"
After entering the house, the door was closed, and Xia Xue was indignant.
Xia Qiu pulled her on the stool and sat down with a flower girl, sighed lightly and said, "Could it be that the dog bit you, and you still want to bite back?
"Yes, sister, wait a minute, you quarrel with her, she says that she doesn't say it's you, that's your fault. β
Xia Yu followed suit. Xia Xue was still annoyed, lowered her head, and muttered, "But I just can't get used to it." β
Xia Qiu patted her on the shoulder, blinked, and said, "Since we can't get used to hearing it, then we will work hard to eat a variety of dishes, make more money, and strive to save money as soon as possible, and go elsewhere to build a new house, far away from them, out of sight and out of mind." β
"Building a new house? That's a long way off. β
Xia Yu seemed to have seen the dream of a mirage, and exclaimed with some anticipation at the same time.
Xia Xue felt too naΓ―ve, put her cheek on her cheek, and said helplessly and desperately: "It costs so much money to build a house, so we just sell vegetables, and we don't know how to save until the Year of the Monkey." β
"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. β
Xia Qiu encouraged them with high morale, "Things in this world are ever-changing, who knows what will happen tomorrow? Those things that are thought impossible now may come true one day, so ah, dreams still have to be had, what if they come true?"
She smiled like a flower, and her bright eyes shone with hope.
Xia Xue looked at Xia Qiu and always felt that she was shining.
"Sister, I found that you have changed so much, I almost don't know you anymore. β
