Chapter 17: The second brother goes to the ground

"I don't! Are you counting on selling me to my second brother to pay off the debt? I don't want it. ”

"Say it again, see if I don't beat you!" Mom said and picked up her arms.

I ran out as fast as I could, how could I possibly let her hit me?

Liu Ye went home to raise the fetus after eating, and the second brother was unhappy at the thought of going to the ground, but he could only go to the ground.

The eldest brother carried all the tools of the family to the front, and I was side by side with the eldest brother.

The second brother and his mother were muttering and talking together after walking. When I met the villagers, my mother greeted them warmly, for fear that she didn't know that the second brother had also followed her.

Passing by Du Chengjia's land, I saw that the confiscated bud rice field inside was overgrown with weeds, and the soil was hard and knotted, which was completely finished.

The eldest brother said: "Their family has been miserable this year. If you want to raise it well, you must turn it deeply, and the people in their family can't do this job. ”

The second brother muttered in a low voice: "Look at this matter, I don't even know how to meet Du Cheng." ”

I sneered, "Second brother, are you here again?" If you can't look at it, you go and work for other people! It's five dollars a day. ”

Mom hurriedly said, "Okay! Isn't this all about turning over and not mentioning it? Don't worry about other people's affairs. ”

I walked a few steps quickly, caught up with my eldest brother and said, "Brother, today I want to go to the town to sell that dough cake and salted duck eggs, and I want to continue selling fruits, you can help me talk to my mother later, I want to go to the town early." ”

"It's easy, I'll think about it." The eldest brother laughed.

When we arrived at the field, we saw that Lin Cailian was already turning the ground over there and preparing to plant winter wheat.

When the eldest brother saw her, his face was happy, but because he knew that his mother and second brother were behind, he didn't show it. In order to avoid my mother, Lin Cailian also hurried to the farthest place from us.

"Alright, let's get to work." Mom came over and brought the tools, and picked out the lightest hoe for the second brother and handed it to him.

The eldest brother said, "Mom, there is just one more person today, let's divide the work to be done in half." Qiao'er and I have something to do and we need to leave a little early, so you can give me a little more. When I was done, I went back, and the province was grinding foreign workers over there. ”

Mom hurriedly said, "Why are you going?" ”

The eldest brother smiled: "Aren't I going to dig a well?" I want to go to the city to discuss with others about going out, Qiao'er will be a maid tomorrow, go back early to rest, otherwise it will not look good if it is too tanned. ”

The second brother said anxiously: "Isn't this playing me?" The first day I went to earth, how did you..."

The eldest brother said: "Today is just turning the soil, and it is not any technical work, and I am not tired at all." This is a matter of decision. Qiao'er and I will do two-thirds, and you and your mother will do one-third. ”

Mom thought about it, and probably felt that the second brother couldn't suffer a loss, so she agreed.

The eldest brother went into the field and drew two pieces with a shovel, and the eldest brother and I went to the left, and my mother and the second brother worked on the right. We're going to be a lot bigger than theirs. In this way, the second brother was not happy, so he drew another piece for me.

"This piece is too hard, my feet are so tired that I panic, Qiao'er, let's do it."

I didn't bother to bother with him, and the two of them began to hoe and quickly began to turn over the soil, although my arm was still very painful, but I thought that after doing all this work, I could spend my time freely, so I still gritted my teeth and persevered.

My eldest brother and I have been working for a long time, but when we look back, only my mother is still working by herself, and my second brother is squatting there, and I don't know what he is doing.

I shouted, "You're not working, are you lazy?" ”

The second brother said in annoyance: "I can't tie my shoes!" You're just going to do your own thing, don't you care about me? ”

"I'm just worried that you're not going to do anything, and you're just pretending to be here, and my mother will still be tired when the time comes. If you're a little manly, get to work! ”

Mom slammed the hoe into the ground and turned around and shouted, "Are you working or overseer?" Leave us alone, I'll do as much as I want. ”

"Okay, if you like it, it's fine." I kept my head down and went back to work.

My big brother and I are very fast, so we're going to finish it soon.

The second brother will say that he wants to go to the toilet, he will say that he wants to drink water, and he will shout that his leg hurts, and his mother will take care of him while working. It's harder than working alone.

My eldest brother and I finished shoveling the last piece and walked to the ridge together.

The eldest brother said: "You guys do it first, Qiao'er and I will go first." ”

The second brother shouted anxiously: "We did it on purpose!" Knowing I'm coming, that's why I did it separately! ”

I laughed and said, "You should have been, but you just talked about it, and never thought of working?" ”

"Why does the family's land have to be divided so clearly? I think you're just selfish! ”

"Whoever is selfish has a heart! If you still say that, next time we will directly divide it equally, why do we do most of the work, and still scold me in the end? I sneered.

"You dead girl, hurry up and get me back to work!" The second brother wanted to come over and catch me back, but he couldn't step on it steadily, and he almost sat on the ground, and was quickly pulled by his mother.

"Are you alright?"

At this time, all the villagers in the surrounding fields laughed over there, it turned out that they had been watching there for a long time.

One woman said, "I said Li Cai! Is your second son okay? Said to be working, I looked at it all morning, and I didn't shovel the ground a few times, and if Qiao'er gets married in the future, what can you do with your family's land? "It is Duan Qiuyue who has always been against our family.

She's taking the opportunity to taunt my mom.

"Not really!" Gao Yue, the daughter-in-law of the carpenter in the village, also smiled: "You can't stay with him for the rest of your life, he won't be able to work when the time comes, how will he live." ”

"This is not in the city, if you don't do anything, someone will pay you a salary, don't we farmers just have to work to eat?"

Everyone chattered sarcastically at the second brother. The second brother's face was red and white, but he still didn't mean to work at all.

Although my face was expressionless, I also agreed with what they said, which was so good.

The eldest brother smiled: "It's okay, he can't learn the work in the field, don't worry, aunts, I will definitely make the second brother a good hand." ”

The second brother said angrily: "Who didn't work!" I've been in the field all morning. Mom, I'll go over there and get you some persimmons to eat. I can't reason with them! He slipped away again when he had a chance.

Duan Qiuyue continued to laugh and said: "Li Cai, do you see that the flesh on your second son's fat body is now drooping, and he can't be the same as Lao Zhu after thirty?" Auntie is for your own good, you have to make him work more. What's the use of just raising it? ”

Lao Zhu is a big fat man in the village, estimated to weigh 300 pounds, and even struggles to walk, even comparing the second brother with him, her mouth is really poisonous enough.

She has never used my divorce to ridicule my mother, probably because she is afraid that I will tell me about her daughter Sun Hong.

Mom is an extremely face-loving person, her angry face turned white, and after thinking about it, she sneered at Duan Qiuyue: "Yes, my son can't do it at all, but fortunately, I also have a son, unlike you, I don't have a son to worry about." ”

Duan Qiuyue's face changed greatly, she only had one daughter, Sun Hong, she dreamed of having a son, begged God to worship Buddha, took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work, her husband still wanted to divorce her before he died, and wanted to have a son with someone else, Duan Qiuyue even used the trick of sprinkling and hanging and drinking pesticides, plus Sun Hong also knelt and begged his father not to let his father find another one, so he didn't get divorced.

Later, he got sick and died, so I won't mention this one.

But everyone in the village knows about this, and now her mother is sarcastic about her by not being able to give birth to a son, which shows how much excitement there is. She suddenly pointed at my mother and was speechless.

The other women, seeing that something was wrong, all left.

The eldest brother hurriedly said, "Mom, don't say it!" ”

"What, I'm not right? At least I can have two sons. Mom smirked.

"How about you having a son? The boss is good, and I admit it, that second child in your family is a waste! Sooner or later, your family will be plagued by him! ”

"Who are you scolding for being a piece of waste?" Li Cai angrily rushed up to grab her face, but my eldest brother and I hurriedly hugged her back.

"Mom, don't say a word! Auntie, don't talk about it. I said hurriedly.

Mom pushed us hard: "You guys get up, I must beat her!" ”

"Come up! If I'm afraid of you, I'm not Duan Qiuyue! She rolled up her arms and sleeves on it.

The eldest brother said: "Mom, they are all villagers, don't fight because you say a few unpleasant words." Auntie, don't quarrel with your mother, she's tired enough after a day's work, and her health is not good, what if something goes wrong with her anger? ”

Duan Qiuyue was also afraid of offending my eldest brother, so she snorted: "I don't care about her anymore, but Li Cai, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, just look at it, there is a lazy second child, let alone pay off the debt, you can only get poorer and poorer, and you will never be able to turn over!" She said and strode away.

"Stinky bitch, what did you say?" Mom trembled with anger and had nowhere to vent, turned around and shouted at me.

"You should also leave quickly, it's not you, can your second brother be scolded like this?"

"You can pull anything on my head, I'll provoke you!"

"Why didn't you help me fight with her?"

The eldest brother smiled: "Mom, are you confused? She's not married yet, so she's spilling here, do you want Qiao'er to be unable to get married? ”

"Stop talking nonsense, you guys hurry home!" Mom said after a while, "I'll leave after cooking!" ”

I promised to take my eldest brother and leave, and my eldest brother's eyes looked in the direction of Lin Cailiandi from time to time, and his walking speed was very slow.

I could only walk forward by myself, and then I heard my mother shouting to the second brother over there: "You hurry back and shovel the ground!" So many folks are talking about you, can you do it? ”

The second brother had no choice but to come back with a sad face.
