165 Long Labor

Throughout the morning, the Xia family looked very lively, until the last wave of people was sent out of the house, Xia Chan suddenly felt a sense of relief. I didn't expect it to be so tiring to act.

At noon, when Lin was cooking, he asked Xia Cicada what dishes to fry. Xia Chan remembered Li's sobbing face in the morning, and a childish thought flashed in her heart, so she asked Forestry to go to the grocery store to get a dozen sausages, fry a large pot of sausages, and take them to the corner of the wall adjacent to Li's house, and fan them wildly. Hmph, it makes your eyes red, I can't be angry with you this time.

Xia Chan's childish movements, Lin shook his head again and again, seeing that Xia Cicada and Forestry were having fun, he reminded them to pay attention to safety and went into the kitchen to continue cooking.

"Brother, sister, what are you doing, I'm coming too." Lin Mu came out of the house and saw the two of them standing in the corner with a big fan fanning wildly, and ran over to help with curiosity. Xia Cicada looked up at Lin Mu and then at Forestry who was still fanning desperately, and suddenly laughed, two lives, combined are more than forty years old, and now he is still doing such a childish thing, it is really enough.

But thinking of Li's hateful face, hum, he deserves it. stood up and patted the ashes on his body, pulled Lin Mu and turned away from the scene

"Sister, why don't you fan, are you tired, why don't Mu Mu help you fan?" Lin Mu didn't know why he didn't fan his eldest sister when he went, thinking that the eldest sister was tired and wanted to rest, so he volunteered to say that he could, looking like a little adult, Xia Cicada was in a much better mood.

"No need, Mu Mu is still too young, can I help my sister when I grow up a little bit?"

"Good" Mumu is still young, but his mother said that no matter what his sister says at home, he must listen to his sister's reads();. What my mother said can't be wrong. And the big sister looks as good as her mother, and she likes it very much.

Xia Chan didn't know what Mu Mu was thinking, and after he was in a good mood, he remembered that the day after tomorrow was the day of Dabao Academy's holiday, and remembered that he had promised Dabao some time ago that he would take him to the county seat as long as he was free, and if there was no emergency the day after tomorrow, he should be able to go.

At noon, because of that pot of sausages. Several people stared at the sausage for almost the entire meal. Wait until you finish eating. Taking advantage of the time when Lin went to wash the dishes, Xia Chan sighed sadly, if you don't do it, you won't die. It was a pleasure just now. Now my bowels are really green with remorse.

Forestry and Lin Mu sat aside, learning the example of summer cicadas, half-lying and basking in the sun, and the three of them really formed a triangle. Three, you look at me, I look at you. After a while, he amused himself.

"Forestry, do you know how to read?" Xia Chan suddenly spoke

Forestry looked up at Xia Cicada and nodded, "Recognize some." ”

"Who taught you?" She didn't expect Forestry to actually know words, and there was a moment of surprise on her face.

"My mother. Not only do I know how to read, but my sister knows me too. It's all taught to us by my mother. Big sister, you don't know that my mother is talented, she is not only rusty and rusty. I also write a good hand, and I recognize a lot of words. My sister and I admire my mother so much. ”

It seems that this Lin is the same as she imagined. Hidden from the deep. Thinking of the words of Lin Da that day, the identity of forestry and forest trees is not simple. It's just that a woman is willing to have two children for a man and then can leave without any nostalgia, thinking about what must have happened. I remember that Dr. Huang said that Lin's illness began when the first child was born, and it was even stricter when the second child was born. I didn't expect such a gentle woman to have such a past that I didn't want to talk about.

The cicada took Forestry to the wheat field and carefully observed the small green worms on the ears of wheat. The small green worm on the wheat ear is called a sucking worm in modern professional terms, and it has a destructive lethality to wheat. The fecundity is amazing, and in modern times it can be solved with pesticides. For backward antiquity, it is not so simple. Xia Cicada looked up at the hundred acres of fertile land, and looked green at a glance, if she relied on a few of them alone, I was afraid that it would not be finished in a month, and seeing that the wheat was about to be harvested, she always had to find someone to help.

Although she now lives in Liang Village, the good relationship is in Xiaojia Village, and the fields are also in Xiaojia Village, Xia Chan stood and thought for a moment, and drove the ox cart to Wang's sister-in-law's house. However, when I stood at the gate of the Wang family again, I felt the same.

"Da Lang's daughter-in-law..."Sister-in-law Wang pulled the wood out of the house, and as soon as she went out, she saw Xia Cicada at the gate, Sister-in-law Wang happily walked two steps, stepped forward and took Xia Cicada's hand, and looked carefully before she said with a slight apology, "Look at my mouth, it will make you angry as soon as you exit, sister-in-law just saw you happy, don't be angry with your sister-in-law." ”

"What did my sister-in-law say, am I such a stingy person?" Xia Chan smiled and didn't mention what happened just now. Seeing this, Sister-in-law Wang knew that she didn't want to mention it again, so she responded with her mouth, and felt a little aggrieved for them in her heart. Thinking that when Da Lang left, he made a special trip to the door to beg them to take more care of Xia Chan, and he felt very uncomfortable. How could two people who were obviously good at the beginning suddenly get into trouble like this.

Wang's sister-in-law pulled Xia Chan to the house, the two went to the kang as before, Wang's sister-in-law was doing needlework, Xia Chan sat on the side and watched, and the two chatted. Forestry plays in the yard with wood

"Tell my sister-in-law what your plans are in the future." Sister-in-law Wang locked the sleeve in her hand, took a button and put it on the cuff and gestured back and forth.

Xia Chan was on the side, intentionally or unintentionally playing with the clothes in Wang's sister-in-law's hand, and when she heard Wang's sister-in-law's words, her reactionary hand was obviously stunned, and then she said casually

"You also know that I am still at the mourning vigil, and I will talk about it later. What I want to do most now is to make more money, to make lots and lots of money. Xia Chan smiled heartlessly, Sister-in-law Wang glanced up at her, and said with a smile, "You really haven't changed at all, you used to like money, but now you don't change at all when you look at the energy you like." However, my sister-in-law still said the same thing, if you need anything, just ask, our family doesn't have other skills, it's just that there are a lot of people. ”

"Okay, I'll just wait for my sister-in-law's words. Recently, when I went to the town, I saw that Brother Shugen was setting up a stall, what was Wang Qiang doing? "The Wang family's stall is still the ramen stall that Xia Chan originally made. Later, it was always the Wang family. In the past year, the Wang family relied on the stall and Xia Chan's help to build a new house and live in a tiled house. Life has gotten a lot better.

At the beginning, it was Wang's sister-in-law and Wang Qiang who were messing up, but now, they have become Brother Wang. I didn't see Wang Qiang's shadow when I came in just now, where did Wang Qiang go?

"You said Qiangzi, you went to the fields. Didn't you teach everyone how to kill the pests of the ears of wheat this morning? As soon as lunch was over, the whole family went to the fields. Leave me and Wood at home to watch the house. But then again. Big sister, you are really capable, you even know this. I don't know what you don't understand. ”

She didn't understand much. Like what. She doesn't understand people's hearts, for example, she doesn't know how to compromise and retreat, and for example, she doesn't know how to pretend to be stupid.

Let go of the clothes in your hands. Moved his seat and looked out the window, "Sister-in-law." Do you think that if I were to recruit long-term workers in our village, would anyone be willing to do it? ”

"Of course someone is willing to do it." Sister-in-law Wang didn't want to say something casually, and thought of the hundred acres of fertile land in Xia Chan's hand, and remembered the rumors she heard at the entrance of the village in the morning. With a worried face, he pulled Xia Chan and asked, "You sue sister-in-law, is it that they really went to trouble you this morning?" The village chief and the Xiao family head also went together? "Just now she was happy to forget about it, and now she thinks about it. I was anxious again. I didn't care about the needle and thread in my hand, and my face was full of anxiety

Xia Chan saw that Wang's sister-in-law was full of worry. hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, are my things so easy to remember?" They don't have the courage to do it. ”

Sister-in-law Wang saw that Xia Chan was confident, and her anxious heart slowly relaxed. Pat your chest "That's good, that's good." You don't know, when I heard that Lao Zhai brought a large family to look for you, I was scared to death. It's a pity that things have been troubled when I heard about it, otherwise, I would definitely call Brother Shugen to help you. ”

Xia Chan believed that Sister-in-law Wang said this at this time, and she must have thought so at that time. I am very grateful.

"Sister-in-law, I want to find a few long-term workers. Can you help me recommend a few? ”

"Long-term workers? How many do you want? Sister-in-law Wang thought for a while and looked at Xia Chan, Xia Chan roughly calculated, "Let's tentatively set four." It's best to do your best to work. If you are paid, it is eight taels a year. What do you think? ”

"Eight taels is not low, and the long-term workers of the Zhao landlord's family are only six taels a year. You're a lot of two, and someone must be willing to do it. ”

"Thank you sister-in-law, but I hope my sister-in-law can think about the difficult conditions at home first. If I want to help them, I can help them, and the premise is that the character must be good. ”

"You, the heart is good, do it, I remember, you can rest assured. I'll ask you later, and I'll try to bring you good news early tomorrow morning. ”

"Then thank you, sister-in-law."

"Look at your politeness, let's have dinner at my sister-in-law's place tonight, and you're alone how you go back." After Sister-in-law Wang finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the little boy who had just come over with Xia Chan, "Whose child is that little boy just now, he looks very clever." ”

Xia Cicada looked up at the forestry outside the window and smiled, "That's the child of the Lin family in Wangjia Village, reads();." ”

Regarding the affairs of Wangjia Village, Wang's sister-in-law knows more. The Lin family is an alternative in Wangjia Village, but there is nothing that anyone who is familiar with Wangjia Village does not know, and as soon as Xia Chan says this, Sister-in-law Wang will know who it is. With a face full of surprise, he turned to look out the window at the boy who looked like a little adult and was wiping his nose with wood. asked with a distressed face

"How did you end up with him."

Xia Cicada was very low-key when she bought them, and this was not a glorious thing, and Lin Nature would not make a big deal about it, so it was normal for outsiders not to know. Xia Chan knew that Sister-in-law Wang was not a talkative person, so she briefly told Sister-in-law Wang the ins and outs of the matter

After listening to this, Sister-in-law Wang said with embarrassment

"It's really strange in the sky. Who's dad would be so ruthless. If the tiger does not eat the child, he will definitely be retributed in the future. "Sister-in-law Wang is kind, with the motherhood that a mother should have, and she can't see her child suffering, so she will listen to what Lin Da did, and her face is angry. Seeing this, Xia Chan shook his head and smiled, looked at the sky again, and got up to leave

"Sister-in-law, it's not too early now, so we'll go back first. Finding a long-term job will trouble you. ”

When they returned to Xia Cicada, the sky had begun to darken, and Lin had already prepared dinner, and was sitting in the courtyard with Lin Mu while embroidering and waiting for them. When Xia Cicada entered the door, she saw such a warm scene.

However, after seeing the things in their hands, their faces suddenly darkened. Xia Cicada first let the forestry cart, then jumped out of the cart himself, tied the ox cart, pulled the forestry to the Lin family, and snatched the embroidery frame in their hands first

Xia Cicada's sudden movements, Lin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head with an uneasy expression. Although Lin Mu on the side is young, he is very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw his mother, he looked uneasy, and his face was a little panicked. Seeing this, Xia Chan sighed, and stuffed the embroidery frame back into Lin's hand

"Auntie, take it easy. The reason why I want to remove the embroidery frame in your hand just now is to sue you, in the future, when it gets dark, either go to the house and light the oil lamp rust, or don't rust, such a dark light is not good for the eyes, especially Mu Mu, she is still so young, if it hurts her eyes because of this, it is not worth it. Besides, our family doesn't point to your embroidery to live, so don't always work so hard in the future. ”

Lin didn't expect Xia Chan to say this, the grievances over the years seemed to have found an outlet, tears slowly welled up in his eyes, but he looked at Xia Chan with a stubborn face

"Owner, I know that you are good for us, but the more you are good to us like this, the more guilty I become, our mother, sick and sick, small, from the time you bought us back to the present, we not only can't help you anything, but also cause you to spend so much money for my illness. I don't want to go. I thought about what I could do to help you, but this is all I can do, so I thought about hurrying up ........"

If buying them was just a momentary compassion, then Lin's current words made Xia Chan feel that the fifteen taels of silver were worth it. While feeling relieved in his heart, he still had reluctance on his face, looked up at Lin's stubborn look, and suddenly wanted to laugh. If it weren't for the fact that the current scene was not suitable, she would probably really laugh.

In her mind, the Lin family has always been gentle and virtuous, and she had never thought of such an expression before. However, seeing Lin like this, she suddenly felt that she was also alive. In the past, she was always dignified and virtuous, but she always felt that she was not the real her, but she was working hard to play such a character. Now, now that she has left the past, she is also trying to adjust herself. It's a good start.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Shugen brought the news of the four long-term workers. Sister-in-law Wang helped find people from Xiaojia Village, two of whom she had known before, and Yu Pozi's two sons. Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Mutou. The other two are well-known poor households in Xiaojia Village, one is Gu Qing in the north of the village, and the other is a strong son in the east of the village. (To be continued.) )
