Chapter 15: Harvesting the Wheat
Xiaobao was still crying like a little bully to eat white noodles, and Luo Chungen roared impatiently when he heard it outside: "The children can't take care of it, what else can you mothers-in-law do?" ”
Li Shuying's face also darkened, and she was reluctant to scold Xiaobao, so she scolded Wu Meifeng vigorously: "You know how to eat, and you can also take care of the children." I don't understand anything at all. ”
Wu Meifeng was instilled with rebellious thoughts by Ye Qing at noon, and at this time she was irritable by the child's crying, and her mouth was gone: "Is it my fault?" Dabao and Xiaobao are your own grandsons, what's wrong with you making more noodles for some noodles? ”
Li Shuying put down her chopsticks and scolded all kinds of swear words.
Ye Qing completely drank the pumpkin porridge slowly, although the pumpkin porridge was not full, but the pumpkins at this time were all organic green pollution-free food, and it tasted sweet and delicious.
Looking at the three sisters Chen Xi'e and Chun Tao, they all ate quietly, and Chun Tao also sensibly fed her sister a pumpkin with a mouthful.
Ye Qing suddenly had a good impression of the three little sisters.
Luo Chungen ate and drank enough outside, and stiffened the bowl: "Shut up, what is the noise, hurry up and go to work in the field." ”
Li Shuying picked up the bowl with a black face and continued to eat, and Wu Meifeng was even more unconvinced.
After eating, they all hurriedly went out, and Chun Tao was left in the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Chun Tao looked at Ye Qing, who was still sitting and didn't move, and remembered the appearance of her grandmother and the third aunt beating the second aunt fiercely that night, and the second aunt rolling on the kang in pain and begging for mercy, it must have hurt a lot. There was silence for a while: "Second aunt, when you work for a while, you can hug the wheat bundle with me." ”
The little girl's idea is very simple, let Ye Qing join her, she can help Ye Qing do more.
Ye Qing didn't refuse: "Okay, then we'll be in a group." ”
Even if you have the memory of the original owner of the wheat, you can't actually do it, but it's definitely no problem to hold the wheat, she still has a lot of strength.
After helping Chun Tao clean up the kitchen, Ye Qingcai and Chun Tao walked into the field together, and from a distance, they could see Chun Xing picking up ears of wheat with Chunhua on her back, the thirteen-year-old little girl was thin and small, and she had to carry a child on her back, and she felt sad when she looked at the little figure.
"Chun Tao, did you go to school?" Ye Qing asked casually.
Chun Tao shook her head: "No, grandparents said that it is useless for a girl to study, and she has already started to kiss me this year." ”
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment: "Chun Tao, you are only fifteen, right?" ”
Chun Tao snorted, and didn't feel anything: "We still have a lot of fourteen people here who are married, and they all secretly report their age when they get married." ”
Ye Qing looked at Chun Tao, who was nearly a head shorter than herself, and she was also black and thin, often doing farm work, with rough skin on her face, and only a pair of eyes that were bright and a little childish.
Chun Tao was also curious that the second aunt suddenly chatted with her, and said so much: "It would be great if my second uncle was still here, every time he came back, he would teach me and Chun Xing to read and write, and let my parents send us to school." It's just that later, once my second uncle was injured and hospitalized in the city, and I heard my mother say that he had a conversation with a female doctor. Grandma was afraid that the second uncle would not send money to the family after marrying a female doctor in the city, so she took the third uncle and the third aunt to make trouble. ”
Ye Qing heard the story of her deceased husband and ex-girlfriend again and thought it was quite interesting: "What about later?"
Chun Tao told Ye Qing everything she heard again: "Grandma and the third uncle made trouble with the female doctor several times, and the second uncle broke up with the female doctor after he had no choice, and then he came back after the injury and married the second aunt on a blind date." ”
After listening to Ye Qing, he put together a general plot, probably because Luo Jinbei and his girlfriend in the city didn't succeed, and he came back to marry her in anger, after all, he decided to get married after meeting once, which was too hasty.
After leaving, because he was angry, he didn't send a penny to his home, and he didn't care about his new wife.
Hehe in my heart, he is also an irresponsible man! She said that the Luo family could produce good bamboo shoots in such a superb pit.
As for leaving the money, who knows if Luo Jinbei meant it.
Chun Tao didn't notice that Ye Qing was wandering, because he had already reached the edge of the field, and the men, women and children in the village were gathered in the field, busy harvesting wheat.
On a June day, there was no wind and it was hot and stuffy, and it was sweating all over me when I stood still in the sun, not to mention working hard, and the sweat beads were falling down.
Ye Qing followed Chun Tao and hugged a few bundles of wheat, and he felt that his clothes were sticky on his body, and the ash raised by Mai Mang fell on his face and neck, which was extremely itchy.
Seeing that Chun Tao's face was flushed, her eyelashes were beads of sweat, and she was still holding the wheat bundle non-stop, she was embarrassed to rest, and ran back and forth again and again.
The village chief took a loudspeaker and shouted to everyone's subordinates to move faster: "The wheat in Yangjiagou has already arrived in the wheat field and started to grind, and we can't lag behind!" If the weather changes, our village's food ration for a year will be lost, and everyone will be as hungry as they were in five or eight years. ”
Everyone was afraid of going hungry, and after listening to the words of the village chief, they suddenly seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and the speed of his subordinates also increased.
Until evening, the wheat of the whole village was transported to the wheat field.
He began to crush again overnight, putting the wheat into bags.
Ye Qing was tired and felt that his arms and legs were not his own, and the birthmark on his wrist was faintly hot again, so he found a place where no one paid attention to it and rested against the wheat stack for a while.
I didn't notice when Cui Zhiguo leaned over, and handed a military green kettle to Ye Qing in his hand: "Qingqing, drink some water, I see that you haven't drunk a sip of water all afternoon, be careful of heat stroke." ”
Ye Qing frowned and glanced at Cui Zhiguo unhappily: "No." ”
Cui Zhiguo felt that Ye Qing's eyes were shy and disgusting, and his heart suddenly itched: "I've washed it all, you can drink it." ”
Ye Qing ignored him, and quietly moved two steps out, opening up some distance from Cui Zhiguo.
Cui Zhiguo didn't care, he looked at Ye Qing very sincerely: "Qingqing, I like you, as long as you follow me, I will take you back to the city, and when the time comes, let the family arrange two jobs for us, and we don't have to do such hard farm work again." Every day, the rice and white flour tube are full. ”
Ye Qing was cold in his heart, these deceived other ignorant girls might be okay.
She knows that now that the educated youth have returned to the city, a bunch of people are waiting to be assigned jobs, how can it be as easy as Cui Zhiguo said?
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I turned around and walked towards a place where there were many people and lights, so as not to be seen, and I couldn't explain it clearly.
Cui Zhiguo was in a hurry, and stretched out his hand to pull Ye Qing's wrist: "I haven't finished talking yet, don't leave yet." ”
Suddenly, the light of a flashlight came over, followed by Li Shuying's fierce voice: "What are you doing?!" ”
