Chapter 265: The Goodness of Human Nature
If it weren't for the fact that one day, in order to ease the relationship with her daughter-in-law, the old lady of the Liu family overheard the conversation between the couple outside their door when she was delivering meat to her second son's house, she really didn't know the true face of her two 'filial' sons.
Since then, the two elders of the Liu family have broken off their thoughts about the first two sons.
It's just that in order to get the filial piety and closeness of the two sons, even if it is just false, the two elders can only deceive themselves and pretend not to know.
After listening to Sun's words, Xue Langjing was not too surprised, after all, isn't her uncle also this kind of character?
In the eyes of outsiders, it is the eldest aunt who is spicy, but the eldest uncle is an honest and filial farmer, who listens to his daughter-in-law in everything.
It is simply 'the same thing' with the Liu family brothers.
However, she never thought that this situation was still so common, the eldest uncle pretended to be honest, her own father pretended to be filial, and everyone had two faces.
In the future, for those honest men who have tigresses at home, she will no longer dare to look only at the surface, who knows how they look in private.
Anyway, this Sun family is also a master who can talk, after the conversation, this conversation can't stop, and that mouth is also a baba who can speak, and can talk from the east family to the Li family.
And Xue Langjing naturally listened to it as a story.
In fact, these trivial things in life also contain certain life principles, and you can also realize some insights from them after listening to them, so Xue Langjing still likes to listen to them.
Anyway, feeling the strange ability is not in a hurry at this time.
For a period of time afterward, she was no longer in a hurry to exercise, but listened to Sun's gossip while threshing.
Oh no, listen to her story.
Who doesn't love to hear interesting stories! Right?
Listen to stories while working, and time passes quickly.
Soon it was time for lunch.
For Xue Langjing, the world is not as big as eating.
Naturally, she gently reminded Sun to go back and cook lunch.
As for herself, it's too late to go back later, and it takes time to cook, doesn't it?
While there is still time, it is also good to thresh more paddy.
After all, her time is precious, and she has to earn as much money as possible in less time.
Although she can also exercise by harvesting rice, she is going out to practice, and she can't spend too long on it, otherwise when will she be able to reach Wuping City!
If it weren't for the fear that her night of threshing rice would be too scary, she would have really wanted to stay in the field for a while.
In this way, after the Sun family left, Xue Langjing spent a period of time alone in the field to collect millet, and then went back to Sun's house to eat in the sound of Guoguo's shouting for rice.
At this time, the remaining unthreshed rice stalks are less than one acre of land.
In the afternoon, Xue Langjing spent nearly two hours to solve the remaining rice stalks, and brought the rice and threshing buckets back to Sun's house.
Although this speed is not slow, but at this time it is the end of the Shen period and the beginning of the unitary period, although the people will eat later in the busy farming season, but at this time, the average person should finish cooking.
She doesn't grab such a small half an hour, and the work of the Liu family will start tomorrow.
This dinner was naturally eaten at Sun's house.
In this regard, Sun did not have the slightest reluctance, but welcomed it.
If it weren't for this Tang girl, how could she have been able to recover the grain so smoothly, I don't know how much she would have to lose!
Anyway, at least five cents can be returned, and this Tang girl is not a picky person, and she does not have too many requirements for food, even if the loss is big, it is only one or two cents.
After eating at Sun's house, Xue Langjing went to Liu's house under the leadership of Guoguo to understand the situation.
After that, Dong took her to the field to have a look.
Although Dong's mobility is a little inconvenient, but how to say that he is also in the prime of life, he still has a handful of strength, six acres of land, she herself harvested more than half an acre, and Xue Langjing needs to harvest only five and a half acres.
The two parties agreed that Xue Langjing would go to Liu's house early tomorrow morning to move the threshing bucket and other items in their house to the field.
And Xue Langjing ate at Liu's house at noon and dinner.
As for breakfast, it is still eaten at Sun's house, and it is still five cents.
This was originally a loss for the Sun family, but Xue Langjing was also responsible for helping the Sun family fill the water tank and solve the problem of daily water needs.
In this way, both sides do not suffer.
And the reason why she ate breakfast at Sun's house was because Sun took the initiative to mention it to her.
As for the reason.
One is that the Sun family pities the old and weak life of the Liu family, and the Tang girl eats more at the Liu family, and the Liu family has to spend more on food.
Although she can't help her old sister much, it is good to save her a penny or two.
In addition, if you save the time of carrying water, you can spare more free time to pick up rice ears, tie rice stalks, and dry grain.
And their own strength is not large, the place where they carry water is far away from their homes, and the water they carry every day is about to be enough.
You know, it is extremely cost-effective for her to use the time to carry water to offset the extra one or two pennies, so much water, if you hire someone to pick it up, two pennies is really enough.
When Sun proposed to let Xue Langjing have breakfast at home, he didn't mention any additional conditions, purely to help the old sister.
Xue Langjing helped her carry water by herself, but she couldn't shirk it, so she had to be disrespectful.
And the reason why Xue Langjing agreed so happily is naturally because this Sun's craftsmanship is good and he is also generous.
When she went to Liu's house, Liu's family was finishing eating.
The food, whether it is the food itself or the quality of the food, is far from being comparable to Sun's.
Although in today's situation, she can't be too picky, but if she is willing to eat better, who wants to eat bad.
Again, she also has the same concerns as the Sun family, so let's save some if she can save the Liu family.
It's really that the Liu family's family is too simple and poor.
Knowing that she was coming, the old lady of the Liu family, who was half-lying on the kang, thanked her very excitedly, so she almost went down to the kang with her sick and weak body to thank her.
said that if she didn't show up, their Liu family wouldn't be able to recover the grain, and they wouldn't know how to live the rest of their lives.
Alas, such a poor family, can not take advantage of others, Xue Langjing still does not take advantage of others, she still does not take advantage of this, anyway, she eats at Sun's house, she does not lose, but just picks up some water.
This night, Xue Langjing, like last night, used meditation instead of reading and learning calligraphy.
For this reason, she decided to wait for the money in Liujiacun to be earned, and then buy a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for herself.
No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor and study!
The next day, Xue Langjing, who had breakfast, went to Liu's house early and looked for all the tools under the guidance of Dong.
