Chapter 7: A New Life
After dividing the room, Xu Rujin called the twins to clean up the house together.
When the room was just divided, Xu Rujin went into every room, and when she saw that there was a broom in the house, she told the twins to clean up the garbage and dust in the house first.
And she herself opened her luggage, took out two basins, took a few rags, and went to the well to fetch water.
Seeing Xu Rujin's laborious fetching of water, Ye Chengwei wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Xu Rujin.
Everywhere in their house is very simple, and the only good thing is that their water well is pressed, which is not very laborious to use. Otherwise, it would be difficult for their family of five to even drink water.
In their previous lives, Xu Rujin and Ye Chengwei didn't dare to pour out the washing water directly in order to save water, but poured the water into the vegetable field after washing their feet, which can be said to be reluctant to waste a drop of water.
Seeing that Ye Chengwei insisted on working, Xu Rujin had no choice but to arrange the easiest job for Ye Chengwei, boiling medicine.
There are five people in the family, three sick seedlings, she is already well and does not need to take medicine, Ye Chengwei's medicine is Western medicine, only Hu Xianglan needs to drink Chinese medicine to slowly recuperate. Xu Rujin calculated the time, and when Ye Chengwei finished boiling the medicine, they were almost finished cleaning up.
Ye Chengwei held the medicine bag and medicine jar, and looked at Xu Rujin's busy back in surprise. Since the day before he went to the countryside, he has become different from before, not only dare to look directly at himself, but now he dares to command himself?
Xu Rujin took the two children to clean up inside and out, and her tired waist couldn't straighten up, and she completely forgot that she wasn't completely well.
Sweat soaked his clothes and stuck to his body, Xu Rujin sat under the locust tree and looked at the new home and smiled.
Their new life is about to begin.
Xu Rujin took out the dry food he had brought from the package, and several people had lunch. Xu Rujin took her two children to carry their luggage to the house, and then asked them to pack their luggage, and she was going to go to the commune alone.
Ye Chengwei was not at ease, he had to follow along, Xu Rujin had no choice but to agree.
Xu Rujin followed behind Ye Chengwei, and when she walked to the field, she was attracted by the scene in front of her, she had taken it with her in the Wei family for many years, like an ornament.
Except for picking up Wei Jingchuan's illegitimate son to and from school, she hardly went out, let alone saw such a vibrant scene.
Something was lightly put on his wrist, and the coolness spread to his skin through his clothes, and Xu Rujin looked at it in surprise.
Ye Chengwei's slender fingers were holding her wrists, slender and white jade.
"When I first arrived, I followed me closely, and I couldn't explain to my mother if I got lost. Ye Chengwei's clear voice came from obliquely above.
Ye Chengwei is a head taller than Xu Rujin, which is why Xu Rujin does not dare to face him. His cold demeanor and his height always gave Xu Rujin a sense of oppression.
At this time, when I was alone with Ye Chengwei, that sense of oppression hit again. The guilt and fear of Ye Chengwei over the years seemed to be engraved in his blood and bones, Xu Rujin pursed his lips, and then replied with a "hmm".
It is now the busy farming period, and although they have been assigned a lot of work, fortunately it is not very tiring.
Xu Rujin and Ye Chengwei followed behind Wang Dachuan, the leader of the production team, and while walking towards the field they had allocated today, they calculated how long it would take for her and the twins to finish their work, and how much food they could get in exchange for the centimeters they earned.
Xu Rujin knew that after the busy farming period, they were assigned the most tiring work, and the family could only fill their stomachs with the centimeters they earned, not to mention replenishing the bodies of Ye Chengwei and Hu Xianglan.
When he arrived in the field, Wang Dashan squatted down and pulled out a handful of grass, then stood up, and handed the grass in his hand to the two of them, "You just came here today, so I won't arrange too many tasks for you first." ”
"I'll leave this cornfield to you, move neatly, and finish the work before dark. Thinking of the twins he saw in the morning, Wang Dashan said again: "Go back and call the two children in your family, just the two of you, and you won't be able to finish it tomorrow." ”
Seeing Xu Rujin nodding, Wang Dashan pointed to the people who were working not far away, and said, "If you don't know how to do it, just watch how others do it, and learn from them to do it together." ”
Xu Rujin glanced at the fields not far away and the people who were bending over and working hard, they were working so hard to save more centimeters. The commune would kill pigs every year, and they would divide the pork according to the centimeters of the annual contribution, so that they could get more than 20 catties of pork.
In the previous life, the work she and Ye Chengwei did could only maintain food and clothing, and as for pork and meat, they couldn't even think about it.
Seeing that the captain of the production team was gone, Xu Rujin looked at Ye Chengwei, "You go back and call Youran and Nanshan, I'll learn how to pull weeds from them here, and I'll teach you when you come back." ”
Ye Chengwei glanced at the people not far away, thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell Xu Rujin not to walk around and pay attention to safety.
Xu Rujin nodded in agreement, and when he saw that he was far away, he squatted down and began to work. She'd done it all her life, and she'd mastered some of the skills.
The reason why Ye Chengwei was taken away was to let him do less work, and secondly, if she could pull the weeds skillfully immediately, it would inevitably make Ye Chengwei suspicious. After all, she should be a delicate woman who is accustomed to a good life, not a farmer who can work skillfully.
The place where they live is remote, and when Ye Chengwei goes back and forth, Xu Rujin has already done a third of the work.
Ye Chengwei came over with the twins and looked at Xu Rujin in the middle of the field with some surprise.
Although the captain of the production team didn't arrange too much work for them because they had just arrived and could only work for an afternoon, it wasn't so easy.
When Xu Rujin raised his head to wipe his sweat, he saw the three brothers and sisters on the ground and beckoned to them.
The twins shouted to their sister and ran in the direction of Xu Rujin.
"Don't step on the corn seedlings!" Xu Rujin advised.
After listening to Xu Rujin's words, the twins obediently slowed down and walked carefully to Xu Rujin's side. Ye Chengwei had long legs, and he was only a few steps slower than the twins.
Seeing Ye Chengwei looking at him, Xu Rujin said with a smile: "The fellow over there taught me the skills of pulling weeds, and I learned it very quickly." I'll teach you that the sooner you finish your work, the sooner we can go home. ”
Xu Rujin's eyes were full of sincerity, Ye Chengwei did not doubt him, squatted down and listened to Xu Rujin's words while pulling weeds.
"Leisurely, be careful, don't pull out the corn seedlings. Ye Nanshan told Ye Youran like a little adult.
Xu Rujin looked at the three brothers and sisters working hard, and his heart was warm, and he felt that the family was sharing weal and woe.
