CHAPTER XXXV

"Da Lei, ......"

The whole family was discussing how to exchange it, and suddenly heard someone call Mo Dad's nickname, and turned his head to see that it was an old lady who looked quite raw. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Shi family couldn't recognize who it was, but the Mo family of three couldn't pretend not to know. Mo Mo relied on her big belly, and the old woman didn't dare to come easily, so she asked before her father spoke: "Grandma Wan, do you have anything wrong?" ”

"Oh, the end is pregnant? How many months? Boy or girl? You girl has a lot of belly, it's much better than you = mom......"

When Mo Mo heard this, his face immediately sank, this old woman clearly looked like she wanted something from them, but she was still so cheap, she didn't forget to embarrass her mother in public, what if she was really her own grandmother?

I don't know what to say!

Seeing that Mo Mo's family of three didn't pick up at all, they immediately turned their heads, Mo's father and Mo didn't even greet her, and Mrs. Wan was so angry that she almost crossed her waist and scolded. But he was dragged by his son and daughter-in-law by the arm and looked at him several times, thinking that there was so much land at home, and he was unwilling to exchange it with the military at a low price, he could only suppress his temper and say softly as much as possible: "Da Lei, I know you have a knot in my heart, but Kangzi is your own brother, for the sake of your father's face, help your brother......"

Without waiting for Mrs. Wan to end her lame performance, Mo Mo asked very unceremoniously: "What are you going to do with no head and no tail?" Don't you see that we are busy? I don't have time to hear from you about those old sesame seeds and rotten grain! ”

"Why is this girl so big and ...... small" Before the angry Mrs. Wan finished speaking, she was stopped by the middle-aged man next to her who grabbed her arm and made her eyes, as if she didn't feel the lukewarm attitude towards him at all, and said with a smile: "Mom is thin-skinned, embarrassed to say it." Big brother, mom means that you have a lot of family, you can see if you can help my brother, this family is full of people, and I am a strong laborer......"

"You can choose to exchange it, and hand it over directly to the comrades of the People's Liberation Army to deal with it, which saves more trouble." I heard her second uncle by blood say that Mrs. Wan was "thin-skinned". Mo Mo almost didn't hold back his laughter. actually said that the famous rogue shrench in the village is thin-skinned, haha, this is really the funniest joke she has ever heard!

"This ......" Mo Kang was choked up for a long time without speaking, he has always been tactful. I just dislike the low exchange price given by the army, and I don't dare to say it in front of so many soldiers!

"I have someone at home, so what outsiders do I invite!" At this time, Mrs. Wan no longer treats herself as an outsider.

"Since Grandma Wan said that it is her own family, then the land left by grandpa should also have my father's share, right?"

When she heard that she was going to divide her family's grain. Mrs. Wan immediately exploded, crossed her waist and shouted: "The old man said that the land is left to my son, why should I share it with you!" ”

"Why do you want my dad to do your family's work!" Mo Mo's voice was louder than her.

When Mrs. Wan saw that a girl who lost money dared to confront her in front of her, she was so angry that she raised her hand to beat someone.

"Dare to move me to try, the child in my belly must have a good one, and your whole family should not think about it." Mo Mo relied on Shi Yichen and his father to protect her, and his tone was very arrogant.

It's not that Mo Mo doesn't know how to respect the elderly, it's really that this old woman is too hateful. When her grandfather was there, she relied on her parents to think of her grandfather in her heart and make things difficult for her. Wait for grandpa to go. She had no support, and when she saw that she couldn't hold Mo's father and mother, she fanned the flames everywhere in the village and said bad things about Mo's mother, which made the situation of Mo's mother, who was already a little out of place in the village, even more difficult, and she didn't like to go out for a long time, and her body almost collapsed under depression.

But as long as she has the slightest heart to change, looking at the love of her deceased grandfather, Mo Dad will not be so ruthless. But she is getting more and more confused, her temperament is getting worse and worse, and people can't figure it out. Not to mention a step-grandmother who is not related by blood, even a grandmother, Mo Mo is not willing to take care of her more!

Probably really afraid that the Mo Mo family would rely on more people to divide their food, and Mrs. Wan, who had always been as difficult as a dog's skin plaster, actually pulled her son and daughter-in-law away very neatly. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Without the annoying flies, the family continued to discuss together.

Mo Mo's family has a total of five acres of land, one of which is far away from the village, about three acres, and a small amount of soybeans are mixed with corn; The other two-acre piece is closer to the village, and half of it is planted with sweet potatoes. The other half is planted with sesame seeds.

"Later, I will go to the cornfield with the comrades of the People's Liberation Army, and the mother of the end will take the in-laws to the head of the village...... Thinking that the in-laws are all authentic farmers, and they are not outsiders, Mo's father did not tell much, let Mo's mother take it to find his own land, and he doesn't need to say much about the rest, the old man will arrange it.

The young soldiers, who were so annoyed by the uncles and aunts, quickly adjusted their strategies, no longer took the pro-people line, and decisively provided convenience to whoever cooperated. No, as soon as Mo Dad handed in the form, a military truck carried several young men over, ready to go to the cornfield to quickly harvest the crops of the Mo family, weigh the exchange that should be exchanged, and then send it directly to the military grain field for processing.

Farm work is not easy, but no matter how tired the body is, it is better than fighting with a group of tough middle-aged and elderly women!

After seeing Mo Dad leave, the family walked towards the village with a smile. Mo Mo didn't want to stay here alone, so he put on a sunhat and walked over together.

"In previous years, the wheat was all planted at this time......"

Looking at the green and yellow weeds on the ground, Mo Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In any case, it did not violate the laws of nature, and if these weeds were still standing tenaciously in the winter, the matter would be really big. Fortunately, no matter how arrogant they are in the middle of summer, when summer turns to autumn, they will slowly wither after all. I just hope that next spring, there will not be any worrying new changes......

It's just that, looking at the field where there is hardly a trace of dirt in sight, Mo Mo couldn't help but sigh again. Also, this weed can climb even the wall, how can it be possible to let go of the fertile farmland that is like a paradise for them?

"Look at the grass growing in this field, I don't know how many bottles of herbicide have been sprayed, and I don't care if I use it at all, but I almost ruined the crops."

"Isn't it? I've thought of any tricks, I hoeed it clean the first day, and the next day these weeds popped up again, and I couldn't do it even if I was tired to death? ”

"We're also lucky, if you want me to say, even if we don't build any grain base here, this land can't be planted......"

"Fortunately, the crops are also strong, and they are all squeezed like that by the weeds, and they are growing quite well. Look at how big this corn cob is! ”

The crops are indeed quite powerful, surviving in the cracks of the weeds all over the mountains, not at all weak, but as if they have been aroused. One by one, they hold their heads high and work hard to grow, which makes people happy when they see it.

After a while, they arrived at the head of the village, and the land of Mo Mo's house was next to the ditch, and a poplar tree stood straight next to the ditch. Leave a large area of shade.

"You just sit here and play, don't get tired of being hot......" Shi Yichen specially brought a folding chair and a sun umbrella over, just for Mo Mo to rest. However, the poplars by the ditch have not been cut down, and with shade, the sun umbrella is of little use.

"Let's leave it here for now, I'm not very tired yet." Seeing Shi Yichen's disapproving expression, Mo Mo said helplessly, "Don't worry, I know the severity, just take a look." I won't rush to work. ”

Several men of the Shi family were no strangers to farm work, and they quickly divided their labor. Uncle Shi and Shi's father dug sweet potatoes, and the eldest aunt and Shi's mother cooperated with the woven bag to pick it up in the back. In the past, it was easy to dig in a soft and fertile field with a shovel, and a shovel could be ploughed to the end without much force, but now the purple-green sweet potato seedlings are weeds that almost make it impossible for people to put their feet down, and the roots rooted in the soil are entangled like twine, and if you have less strength, the shovel will not be able to shovel it at all. Even if Uncle Shi has a lot of strength, he has to use his feet to cooperate and step the shovel foot.

Mo Dad easily did not let his wife and daughter work in the fields. But every time it's time to harvest the crops, Mo Mo will still come over to help. The wheat, corn, and beans that can be harvested by the machine are fine, like sweet potatoes, but they need to be dug by a shovel. And there are only three people in her family. didn't even have anyone to help, how could Mo Mo and his mother watch their father work alone in the field? Therefore, every time it is time to harvest sweet potatoes, the Mo family is a family of three, Mo's father is responsible for digging, and Mo's mother and Mo Mo are responsible for cleaning up the soil on the sweet potatoes. Then put it in a bag.

Mo Mo looked at the pimple with the rhizome on his hand for a long time, and was called back to his senses by Shi Ma's exclamation, leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really big!" It's not that she hasn't seen a large sweet potato, but when she looks at the one in front of her, which is not much smaller than a watermelon, she is still shocked.

"Can you eat this?" The old lady had never seen such a big sweet potato in most of her life, and she really couldn't make up her mind for a while.

"The comrades of the People's Liberation Army didn't say anything, they must be able to eat, otherwise they wouldn't have been reminded." Shi Ma looked at the house next door, and the sweet potatoes dug up by others were also so big, knowing that her family was not a special case, she was immediately relieved.

Mo Mo suddenly remembered that when he was digging with his parents before, he sat on the ground and ate sweet potatoes directly when he was tired, and he didn't know why he was interested, and he had to eat.

Seeing that she was really greedy, Shi Yichen had no choice but to use the matching knife on the keychain to cut a piece for her.

"Hmm, it's delicious!" It was sweet and crispy, much more delicious than in his memory, Mo Mo couldn't help but praise it again and again, and asked Shi Yichen to cut the rest into pieces for the elders to eat.

"It's really good." The old lady had good teeth, and she couldn't help but give a thumbs up after eating a few pieces.

Seeing that everyone liked it, the grandfather, who had planned to dig two sacks, decisively changed his attention and asked his two sons to dig more.

Mo Mo was pregnant after all, and after walking around the field a few times, he was a little tired, and was helped by Shi Yichen to sit under the poplar tree by the ditch in the field.

She sat lazily on the folding chair, idle, and took out her mobile phone to turn on the camera function, taking pictures of the harvest scene that she might not have had the opportunity to see with her own eyes in the future.

When it was almost noon, Yan Bin drove his parents in a small truck that he didn't know where to borrow, and brought a sumptuous lunch.

When everyone got together for dinner and listened to their chat, Mo Mo realized that the Yan family had already greeted his father and said that he wanted to buy some beans and sweet potatoes from her family.

With the addition of the three members of the Yan family, the Mo Mo family was faster, and they finished harvesting the crops in the middle of the afternoon. And Mo Dad, who was on the other side of the cornfield, also successfully completed the exchange, and called Shi Yichen to drive over to pull things.

"Momo, you go back with this car, the sun will set in a while, it's time to get cold, don't freeze the cold...... "There are too many things to exchange and harvest, even if there is a small truck, one trip can't be finished, and when the first car is going back to the city, Shi Ma persuaded Mo Mo to follow home.

"Okay." I had already seen everything I wanted to see, and Mo Mo knew that staying would only help, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Good boy, grandma will go back with you." The old lady didn't worry about her granddaughter-in-law alone, so she had to follow back.

There is only one passenger seat in the truck, whether it is a pregnant woman or an elderly person, it is not easy to sit in the compartment full of things, thinking that it may be a little difficult for two young people to move so many things to the house, Uncle Shi and Dad Shi simply followed back.

All the way home, Mo Mo and his grandmother stayed by the small truck, waiting for the uncle to carry all the things in the carriage upstairs before preparing to go home.

It's just that the small truck stopped downstairs for so long, and it has already attracted a lot of familiar neighbors, asking this and that to the grandparents and grandchildren, and they really can't get away for a while.

“…… This granddaughter-in-law of your family is worth marrying, and now the food is not cheap......"

Although the hoarding tide has subsided, the prices that can be raised by the frenzied buying have not fallen to the previous level. Especially for food, even if the residents in the community are generally not bad for money, they can't help but feel distressed. What's more, now that the situation is still unclear, everyone actually has no intention of completely giving up hoarding grain, and they try to move home as much as they can, and now seeing that Mo Mo's family got so much back at once, and they don't need to spend money, how can they not be envious and jealous?

"Old sister, can I discuss something with you?"

Grandma chuckled in her heart, and had a lot of premonitions-

Sure enough, without waiting for her to answer, the old lady said to herself: "Can you tell your in-laws to resell some sweet potatoes to our family?" I haven't eaten fresh sweet potatoes in years, but I can't think about ......."

"That's it, Mo Mo, talk to your dad about it, don't worry about the price, what price we will give in the vegetable market, I won't say that I will take advantage of your family because I am a neighbor~"

Mo Mozheng was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, Shi Yichen, who had sent off the last trip, went downstairs, and when he heard the words of several old ladies and aunts, he responded very happily. When the neighbors saw that he could call the shots, they all surrounded him and gossiped about him, but let Mo Mo and his grandmother go upstairs and go home. (To be continued.) )
