Chapter 55: Changing Land
In the afternoon, the three sisters of Xia and Qiu, following Li Cuifen, sprinkled vegetable seeds where they could grow vegetables.
Radish greens, cabbage, beans, eggplant, corn, etc.
After a busy afternoon, almost all the land that belongs to their family has been fully utilized.
In the evening, the mother and daughter went home with hoes.
The afterglow of the setting sun, sprinkled on the field path, seems to put on a pale golden coat for the world.
A gentle breeze blew away the heat of the afternoon.
"I'm really tired after a busy afternoon. ”
Xia Xue walked listlessly on the path, shouting weakly.
"Why do I have to do so much work, when can I not do such hard work?"
"You kid, we are a peasant family, what do we eat if we don't work? You're just too squeamish, and you didn't let you do anything, just let you scatter a little seed, and you can't stand it?"
"Mom, what do you mean to just let me sow some seeds?"
Xia Xue didn't follow, "Spreading seeds also requires strength, okay? And it's still the kind of work that bends over, I've been bending over all afternoon, my old waist is about to break, I don't care, I won't work tomorrow, I want to rest." ”
Her hands were on her hips, as if she was really tired.
"Okay, you don't have to work tomorrow. ”
Li Cuifen's eyes were soft, looking at the snow, full of spoiling.
Xia Xue blinked mischievously and said in a muffled voice: "When I grow up, I must not be a farmer, I am so tired, I want to be a singer in the future and sing to make money." ”
"You, you really dare to think about anything, can people like us think about being a singer? ”
Xia Qiu rolled her eyes, and Xia Xue also rolled her eyes.
"Mom, your thinking is too old, and there are infinite possibilities in life. ”
Xia Xue and Xia Qiu are almost in unison.
They looked at each other and smiled.
Li Cuifen didn't take it seriously, just thought they were young and frivolous.
The sun shines on the body, and the curved soft shadows slant westward.
"The heart is the power of growth, just like the wings of the butterfly, the louder the wind and the higher the singing, the butterfly flies......!
Xia Xue hummed softly, and her singing voice was melodious, wafting in the fields, like the tinkling of spring water.
Xia Qiu looked at Xia Xue's jumping figure, like an elf.
Time is soft, and the years are quiet.
Xia Qiu thought that if it could be like this all the time, it would be good for the family to live an ordinary life with Hemeimei.
Calm is always very short-lived, Liu Zhaodi and Xia Dajin are discussing with Xia Shixun at this time about giving them the fields of Shuziao.
When Li Cuifen's mother and daughter returned home, they had already discussed countermeasures.
Seeing them come back, Xia Shixun led Xia Dajin and Liu Zhaodi to Li Cuifen to talk about it.
When Li Cuifen heard about this, her face was embarrassed.
"This tree is still growing vegetables now. ”
She furrowed her brows, disgusted and resentful.
"The vegetables are pulled, isn't it okay?"
Liu Zhaodi rolled her eyes, and her tone was not good.
Xia Qiu stood behind Li Cuifen, listening to her say this, and laughed out loud.
"Second aunt, give me your field, and the crops you planted before have also been pulled, how about it?"
"I ......"
Liu Zhaodi's face turned red, her throat seemed to be stuck by something, and she couldn't say a word.
"It's okay for you to go to the land of the tree, but we'll give it to you when we've finished picking all the vegetables we've planted. ”
Xia Qiu was smiling, and she didn't care how wonderful Liu Zhaodi's expression was.
"Also, grandpa, can't the land of the tree pass be given to the second uncle and aunt for nothing, right? The second uncle and second aunt, you must take a piece of land with a similar area to exchange it for us, otherwise it will be too unfair, even if my mother agrees, I will not agree." ”
Xia Dajin was unhappy when he heard it, stared at Xia Qiu with a hideous face, and said angrily: "You yellow-haired girl, when will it be your turn to point fingers?"
"I think Xia Qiu is right, you want the field in Shuziao, it stands to reason that you should exchange a piece of land. ”
Li Cuifen was bold and said loudly.
In the past, no matter what Xia Shixun asked, she would agree unconditionally.
But since Xia Qiu became stronger, she also learned to resist.
Xia Qiu is right, weakness is useless, as a mother, she should learn to say no and protect the interests of the family.
Liu Zhaodi was suddenly annoyed, she thought that if she moved out of Xia Shixun, she could still be the same as in the past, and Li Cuifen would give her whatever she wanted.
Now it seems that under the influence of Xia Qiu, Li Cuifen's wings have also hardened.
"Second uncle and second aunt, the field in Shuziao, in the past, you didn't want anything to ask for it, so you gave it to our family, why do you want it again now?"
Xia Qiu moved a stool, sat down next to Li Cuifen, and asked casually.
"What's your business. ”
Liu Zhaodi said angrily.
With this summer and autumn here, it is getting harder and harder for them to want what they want at their house now.
Xia Qiu smiled slightly, her eyes were like crescent moons, cute and sweet.
Under the eyes, there is a coldness that no one has noticed.
"After all, this is our family's land, and we always have the right to know, right?"
Xia Qiu's tone was light, and he didn't care about Liu Zhaodi's bad attitude.
"Second uncle and aunt, what land do you want to exchange for Shuziao's field? If we think it is suitable, we can exchange it with you soon. ”
"Sister. ”
Xia Xue tugged at her sleeve, and Xia Qiu only gave her a meaningful look.
Where is Liu Zhaodi willing to exchange land?
Thinking of what Wang Yuehong said about the vegetables grown in that field, they are delicious, more delicious than others, and can be sold for a lot of money, so she hesitated again.
"Dad, look, isn't it just a piece of land? It's all my own family, do you still have to change it?"
She was unwilling, and planned to let Xia Shixun open her mouth and let Li Cuifen give it to their family.
Li Cuifen is most afraid of Xia Shixun, and Xia Qiu, as a junior, can't do anything to Xia Shixun.
"This ......"
Xia Shixun was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Dad, you have to think about Xia Qiang, she is your eldest grandson. ”
Liu Zhaodi saw him hesitate and reminded him.
"Yo, what are you talking about?"
Wang Lihua suddenly walked in from outside the door, followed by Xia Dacai, Xia Qiu's third uncle.
When Liu Zhaodi saw them coming in, she was anxious.
With such a good amount of money, she doesn't want to share it with the third family.
"Okay, just change it. ”
In a hurry, she agreed to Xia Qiu's conditions.
The corners of Xia Qiu's mouth hooked up a sly smile.
"In that case, let's go to the village chief and ask the village chief to help write a note, so as not to be unclear when the time comes. ”
"What?
Liu Zhaodi was stunned, she originally thought that she would not admit it in the future.
Xia Qiu looked innocent, and pretended to be at a loss and asked her: "Yes, is there any problem?
