025: Spring planting

Soon it was spring planting season, and as in previous years, Meng Da Niu ploughed the fields, and Meng Chun Tao and Meng Xia Hua sprinkled seeds and watered them in the back.

Meng Xiahua glanced at the bag of seeds and stepped forward to hug it.

Meng Chuntao glanced at her, and just as she wanted to say something, she was interrupted by Meng Xiahua.

Meng Xiahua smiled: "Sister go and help my mother watch my brother, bring dinner." I followed my father and sprinkled the seeds under the water. ”

"Then you do it." Meng Chuntao nodded, turned around and ran. Since that time he fell Meng Youcai, but let Meng Xiahua be beaten violently, Meng Chuntao looked at Meng Xiahua, and always felt uncomfortable, now I heard that Meng Xiahua wanted to do those jobs by herself, and she could let herself go home, Meng Chuntao didn't think about what Meng Xiahua was for.

Watching Meng Chuntao walk away, Meng Xiahua looked at the seeds in her hand.

Cao instructed that three or four seeds be sprinkled in each pit. Meng Xia put three seeds in each pit, and set aside one more to put in her pocket. Earlier, Meng Xiahua had already asked Mrs. Meng to sew pockets in her clothes, just so that they could come in handy at this time.

Meng Xiahua kept the seeds secretly while paying attention to Meng Daniu's movements.

Fortunately, Meng Daniu has been concentrating on plowing the land and has not looked back at himself. It's just a ridge of land, and the work of the first meridian is finished. Meng Daniu glanced at the surrounding fields and asked Meng Xiahua, "Where is the spring peach?" ”

"I'm going home and getting dinner."

"That's it, let's go home after a while, what kind of dinner." Meng Daniu frowned and glanced at Meng Xiahua: "There is not much work left, you can do it yourself." I'll go back and see your brother. ”

"Hmm." Meng Xiahua nodded.

Seeing Meng Daniu leaving, he immediately went back and took out a large handful from the seed bag and stuffed it into his inner pocket. looked around, but accidentally bumped into Meng Erniu's smiling eyes.

"II...... Second Uncle ......" Meng Xiahua frowned, wondering how to fulfill this lie.

Meng Erniu just smiled and asked, "Can you do it yourself?" ”

"Yes." Meng Xiahua was suddenly a little unsure whether Meng Erniu had seen herself stealing her own seeds.

"If you can't do it, call the second uncle, the second uncle's family doesn't have much land, and the work will be done in a while." Meng Erniu still smiled at Meng Xiahua.

Meng Xiahua glanced around a few times with some embarrassment, and suddenly asked as if she remembered something, "Where is Sister Qiusheng?" ”

"I'm going to her grandmother's house to pick up the strong son." The smile on Meng Erniu's face was a little more.

Meng Xiahua nodded and said with a smile: "It's good." ”

Meng Erniu glanced at Meng Xiahua a few more times, then smiled innocently, and returned to his own land with the hoe.

Meng Xiahua frowned, touched the seed on her waist, and hesitated.

"Flowers, what are you doing?" Hu Die waited on the side for a long time, but he didn't see Meng Xiahua move, so he couldn't help but come over.

As soon as Meng Xiahua saw Hu Die, she quickly pulled Hu Die to the corner and said something. Behind him, Meng Erniu looked thoughtfully at the backs of the two children and frowned.

Although the land of Widow Hu's family is less than that of these men in the family, there is no lot of life at all. Widow Hu is also shrewd, and she actually learned from those rich families and rented out the one-third of an acre. Every year, she only needs to give one-third of her food ration to her family. Widow Hu's land happens to be the most fertile, one-third of the harvest is nothing, in the year of haode, just the land of Widow Hu's house, can produce twice as much grain in her own field. Many people rushed to plant the land of the widow Hu's house, and some even bought it with money.

Meng Xiahua saw these ways early in the morning, so she discussed with Hu Die in advance, took some seeds and asked them to plant one, and when the autumn harvest came, she would also share a little grain.

Hu Die knew the situation of Meng Daniu's family, and also knew that Meng Xiahua had been thinking about leaving Meng Daniu in her heart, so she responded. Widow Hu also promised to give Meng Xia flowers to plant on her own land. The vegetables in the yard, what Meng Xiahua likes, just pick them all and eat them.

Meng Xiahua just smiled and didn't speak, what she didn't tell Hu Die was that she didn't grow food to eat. After all, the Cao family and they are all in the same courtyard, and it is completely unrealistic to divide the stove, but money is different. Money talks. The food stolen by Meng Xiahua was exchanged for silver money, which was useful for emergencies at any time.

After Hu Die carried the bag of grain in his arms, Meng Xiahua said to Hu Die: "After you go back, help your mother work, don't look for me today." ”

"You're going to water and sow seeds, how long are you going to do it?" Hu Die frowned.

"It's okay, anyway, I don't necessarily have anything to eat when I go back at noon." Meng Xiahua smiled indifferently.

Hu Die sighed: "Then I'll go back and bring you food at noon." ”

"No need." Meng Xiahua took Hu Die's hand.

"Hua'er, what else do you and I have to see!" Hu Die was angry.

Meng Xiahua smiled: "I'm not outside with you. As he spoke, he pointed to Meng Erniu, who was still watching them, "My second uncle can't starve me." ”

"Your second uncle and your father don't have a good relationship." Hu Die looks like he knows the roots.

Meng Xiahua snorted and laughed: "My relationship with my father is not very good." ”

Therefore, Meng Erniu will definitely be different to himself.

Meng Xiahua believed.

After waiting for Hu Die to leave, Meng Xiahua took the initiative to walk to Meng Erniu's side and called sweetly: "Second uncle." ”

"What were you doing with Hu Die just now?" Meng Erniu responded a little curtly, but he still couldn't help asking.

Meng Xiahua tilted her head and said with a smile: "Didn't you see it all?" I stole my own seeds and gave them to Hu Die. ”

"You ......" Meng Erniu didn't seem to expect Meng Xiahua to say it so directly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Meng Xiahua continued to laugh and said, "Will the second uncle tell Daddy?" Daddy will kill me if he finds out. ”

"Phew! What to say. Meng Erniu frowned and glared at her, "Is your second uncle such a person?" How can you sell your niece? ”

"Chun Tao is also your niece."

"You two...... Alas...... We're all sisters, but you're not the same! ”

"Then the second uncle just won't tell Daddy, right?" Meng Xiahua tilted her head and blinked.

Meng Erniu frowned and nodded.

"Second uncle is the best." Meng Xiahua's smiling eyes were bent.

Meng Erniu asked: "Hua'er, can you talk to the second uncle, why are you not?" ”
