Chapter 41: Ask for help
Almost as soon as Zhang Xiaohua's words fell, Qiu Mo let go. He raised his hands and said with an innocent face: "I let go, is Xiaohua not leaving?" ”
Zhang Xiaohua: "......"
Why didn't she find out, when did this guy start to rely on her so much? She's just trying to ask someone for a favor!
"Don't worry! I'm not leaving, where can I go! Zhang Xiaohua looked helpless, she pointed to the direction not far away, and said: "See, there is someone plowing the land over there, I will ask if I can ask him to come over and help." That way we don't have to work so hard. ”
Qiu Mo followed the direction pointed by Zhang Xiaohua and saw an uncle who was nearly sixty years old plowing the land.
Qiu Mo knew this uncle, and the uncle's family and Qiu Mo's family were only separated by a few families. There are five daughters in the family, but no sons. The daughters are all married, so the uncle will come out to work at a great age.
"Xiaohua, let's not bother others, you just sit and watch me dig the soil!" Qiu Mo didn't agree with Zhang Xiaohua's approach, he still felt that he had dug the soil by himself.
However, Zhang Xiaohua ignored him. Why waste your efforts on things that can be easily solved?
"Don't worry! I'm not going to let him help in vain. Zhang Xiaohua said.
Qiu Mo wanted to say something, but Zhang Xiaohua had already walked towards the uncle.
Zhang Xiaohua approached and found that an eldest lady was sitting on the ridge of the field, leaving sweet potato sprouts and cutting them into pieces. And the eldest lady said something loudly to the uncle from time to time, and the two were obviously a family.
"Auntie, do you also grow sweet potatoes today?" Zhang Xiaohua approached and asked with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.
The eldest lady looked up at Zhang Xiaohua, her expression was slightly stunned, and then she said, "Yes!" There are not many plants, and this small plot of land is enough for the two of us to eat. ”
The eldest lady paused suddenly as she spoke, looked at Zhang Xiaohua and asked with a smile: "You are the new daughter-in-law of the Qiu family, right?" Looks so good. ”
Zhang Xiaohua: "......"
If she hadn't seen the sincerity on her face, she would have wondered if the aunt was ridiculing her. Just her face is also called Shui Ling?
"Auntie, don't be kidding, I don't know what I look like!" Zhang Xiaohua said.
"This kid, I'm not kidding, everything I say is true. By the way, kid, is there something wrong with you coming to me? The eldest lady asked.
Zhang Xiaohua was slightly stunned. I didn't expect the eldest lady to know that she was coming to look for her.
"Hey, hey! I want to ask the uncle to help me loosen the soil. I don't know, can it? Zhang Xiaohua smiled and explained her intentions.
When the eldest lady heard this, she looked in the direction of Qiu Mo, only to see Qiu Mo looking at Zhang Xiaohua anxiously, and she didn't know why he was in a hurry.
"Why not, when my family finishes plowing my family, I'll let him help you." The eldest lady said disapprerovingly.
"Really? Thank you, Auntie. Zhang Xiaohua happily bowed to her aunt and thanked her.
At this time, the uncle happened to plow the land well. He happened to see this when he came with the ox.
"What is this doing?" The uncle asked with a puzzled expression.
Zhang Xiaohua came to talk to the eldest mother, and the uncle knew, but he didn't pay attention to the content of their conversation. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's behavior like this at this time, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
"Old man, are you busy? Don't be in a hurry to rest first, and go and plow the land for Qiu Mo by the way. The eldest lady did not answer the uncle's words, but commanded.
When the uncle heard this, his face was not dissatisfied, but he looked at Zhang Xiaohua with some curiosity.
He had also heard about Qiu Mo's marriage, although he didn't deliberately pay attention to these things, but he also heard that the person Qiu Mo married was Zhang Xiaohua.
Regarding Zhang Xiaohua, the uncle had also heard some rumors about her before.
Rumors of Zhang Xiaohua's positivity and ability have been circulating throughout the village. However, he had never seen Zhang Xiaohua.
They are all busy people, they are busy working on weekdays, and they are not from different villages, and there is no intersection in life, so it is not surprising that they have not met.
Now that he saw Zhang Xiaohua and listened to his wife's words, the uncle had already guessed that the little girl in front of him was Zhang Xiaohua.
But what made him curious was that Zhang Xiaohua would actually come over and ask him to help. He has no friendship with the Qiu family, let alone Zhang Xiaohua, how could she think of asking him to help?
"Auntie, don't worry, let the uncle rest for a while!" Zhang Xiaohua said, looking at the uncle, regardless of whether the uncle agreed to help her or not, she looked grateful and said, "Uncle, I'll trouble you later." ”
Uncle Zou frowned, he didn't say he wanted to help! Zhang Xiaohua's words blocked his back road, he had to help if he didn't help!
Fortunately, he also wanted to help.
He also knows a little bit about Zhang Xiaohua and Qiu Mo's situation. Both of them are hard-working children, and I didn't expect these two hard-working people to come together. Now that they have asked him, he can help a little.
"You little girl is very clever." The uncle looked at Zhang Xiaohua and smiled helplessly: "Okay!" I'm going to help you loosen the soil. ”
Zhang Xiaohua didn't expect the uncle to see through her careful thoughts, she stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle!" Then I'll help my aunt grow sweet potatoes. ”
Zhang Xiaohua said, beckoning in Qiu Mo's direction.
Qiu Mo's eyes had been staring at Zhang Xiaohua, although Zhang Xiaohua had already said that she would not leave, but he was still worried. Only by making sure that Zhang Xiaohua is in his sight will he be reassured.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua waving at him, Qiu Mo subconsciously ran towards her happily.
"Little flower? Little flower, I'm coming! Qiu Mo ran to Zhang Xiaohua and said.
"Qiu Mo, the uncle has already promised to help us loosen the soil, so let's help the eldest lady grow sweet potatoes together!" Zhang Xiaohua said.
"Oh! Good! Qiu Mo responded, and without waiting for the eldest lady to speak, he went to the field with a basket of sweet potato seeds.
Dig a pit, put sweet potatoes, fill the soil, the action is skillful and natural, and it is done in one go.
Seeing this, uncle, aunt and Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but look at each other. Speechless for a moment.
Zhang Xiaohua was the first to break the silence and said: "Qiu Mo is straightforward, if he does something wrong, you can bring it up, and I will let him improve." ”
Zhang Xiaohua has never done farm work, and she doesn't know if Qiu Mo is right to grow sweet potatoes like this, for fear that the uncle and aunt will not be satisfied, so she can only sacrifice Qiu Mo.
"Isn't this kid saying that sweet potatoes are all grown like this? It's just that I'm really bothering you, and I'm asking you to come over and help. The eldest lady said.
"It's us who troubles you, if it weren't for the uncle's promise to help us loosen the soil, I don't know when Qiu Mo and I will dig up!" Zhang Xiaohua said, then looked at the uncle, and continued: "Uncle, then our family's land will be handed over to you, and I will go to help Qiu Mo." ”
With that, Zhang Xiaohua ran towards Qiu Mo.
The uncle and the aunt looked at the direction where Zhang Xiaohua ran at the same time, and then the two glanced at each other again, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Let's go plow! It's not easy for these two children. I've got the two of them here to help, and it should be done soon. The eldest lady said.
The uncle nodded, led the cow to the Qiu family's land and .......
