Chapter 205: Harvesting Wheat
"Auntie, you said that you would let Qinglin go and harvest wheat for you, but there is no problem at all. As for the wheat you said to our family, how can we be embarrassed about this, your family has already helped our sister and brother enough. Jiang Cheng'er looked at Song Cuihua with a red face and said.
Song Cuihua has something to say about her strong temperament, she pulled Jiang Cheng'er and said, "What is this!" Let me tell you, I am not right with your old Li family, but I didn't expect you to be different from Qinglin. The two of you are kind-hearted, and you don't seem to be like the people of your old Li family, and besides, I can be regarded as a match with you. It's just wheat grown at home, what's the matter! ”
What Song Cuihua said made Jiang Cheng'er feel that she didn't have much to say, and Jiang Cheng'er thought that it would not be too late to refuse after Ming and Qinglin went to help.
So in the end, Jiang Cheng'er agreed.
"Okay, auntie, we'll go straight to your house when we get up." Jiang Cheng'er looked at Song Cuihua with a happy smile on her face.
Although it was said that Lao Li's family did not feel the slightest human touch, this Song Cuihua and Grandma Xiu made Jiang Cheng'er feel warm.
Qinglin has been with a black face since he came back, and Jiang Cheng'er didn't dare to ask him if he thought something had happened again.
Until the evening, Na Qinglin couldn't hold back and looked at Jiang Cheng'er and said, "Sister, why do you let me give the wheat to the Fengxian sister-in-law to carry it back!" That's not what our family wants to buy! ”
Qinglin's face was reluctant.
Jiang Cheng'er looked at him and sighed and persuaded: "Didn't Grandma Xiu and Aunt Song Cuihua speak for us, no matter how wrong Sister-in-law Fengxian is, we should give Grandma Xiu and Aunt Cuihua a little face, right?" Besides, you're just on a trip. ”
"I think I must not be weak in the future, so I will continue like this, and I will be bullied by others every day. In the future, I will definitely become strong and protect your sister well! Qinglin patted his chest and reassured.
Jiang Cheng'er, who was originally full of anger, was amused by Qinglin's words at this moment.
"I'm going to collect wheat for the village chief's house tomorrow morning, don't get up late!" Before going to bed, Jiang Cheng'er said to Qinglin uneasily.
After all, she promised Song Cuihua, and since she promised others, she must do what she says.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Cheng'er really got up and went straight to Qinglin's house, and directly lifted him up.
"Sister, what are you doing!"
Qinglin hadn't woken up yet, and his face was reluctant.
"What are you talking about, didn't we all promise Aunt Song Cuihua yesterday to help her family harvest wheat today, we have to do what we say!" Jiang Cheng'er said as she combed her hair with a comb.
Li Qinglin helplessly lifted the quilt and got dressed.
It's going to be a little bright, but if the weather gets up a little later, I won't be able to do much of this work today.
"Look, you came here so early at this hour, why can't you sleep at home for a while?" Song Cuihua rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door to look at Jiang Cheng'er and said, she had just gotten up for a while, but she didn't expect Jiang Cheng'er and her brother to be so positive.
Song Cuihua's daughter, Xiao Hua'er, was embarrassed to poke her head out and look at Jiang Cheng'er and Qinglin, Xiao Hua'er was two years younger than Jiang Cheng'er, and she didn't go out much on weekdays. The temperament is also more introverted.
Jiang Cheng'er smiled and pulled Qinglin and said, "It's not like we get up early on weekdays, auntie, if there's nothing to do, let's go work in the fields now, right?" Otherwise, it's too hot at noon, so let's finish the work early, can't we rest earlier? ”
A few people were talking and laughing, and after packing up their things, they took their tools and went down to the ground.
However, although Jiang Cheng'er is very active, it is also the first time for her to cut wheat in the field, she doesn't understand anything, and she can only learn slowly from Song Cuihua little by little.
Jiang Cheng'er is already smart, and it is not too difficult to get started almost immediately after learning this wheat harvesting business.
"Sister, if you're tired, take a break. This wheat cutting work can't be done in a while, looking at two or three acres of land. Qinglin looked at Jiang Cheng'er and persuaded him with some distress.
Jiang Cheng'er waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it.
Song Cuihua on the side threw the sickle in his hand on the ground, gasped and said: "Alas, everyone else envies that my man is the village chief, and he has a reputation for speaking in the village. ”
Every word she said was also true, and the village chief had already gone out before Jiang Cheng'er had passed over early in the morning.
Jiang Cheng'er smiled and comforted Song Cuihua and said, "Auntie, don't worry, we will help you collect it this year and we will come back next year." Isn't my uncle a big man? ”
Song Cuihua stood on the side and rested for a while, then suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Cheng'er and asked, "You two came over early in the morning, but you ate?" I'll tell the flowers to come home and get you something to eat. If we don't have a good one at home, don't dislike a bowl of egg soup! ”
You must know that in this Linhua Village, not every household can eat eggs.
How could Jiang Cheng'er still dislike it?
Jiang Cheng'er originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, what about Qinglin if she wasn't hungry?
Originally, Qinglin followed her, and sometimes Jiang Cheng'er was busy eating and was not on the meal, Jiang Cheng'er knew that Song Cuihua's temperament was not a false refusal.
"Just get a bowl for my Qinglin, I'm used to skipping breakfast this morning."
Song Cuihua left the work in her hand to Xiaohua'er and went home alone.
The three of them buried their heads in the wheat field, and after seeing her mother leave, Xiaohua'er didn't dare to raise her head to talk to Jiang Cheng'er's sister and brother, but buried her head in hard work.
Jiang Cheng'er felt bored, put down the sickle and looked at Lin Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, do you want to take a break." Let's do it slowly, and we're not in a hurry. ”
Lin Xiaohua heard Jiang Cheng'er take the initiative to speak, blushed and raised her head to look at Jiang Cheng'er and responded: "No, our family has a lot of land and a lot of work." If you ink a few more days to catch the rainy season, it will be over. ”
Hearing Xiaohua say this, Jiang Cheng'er was quite embarrassed, and she didn't understand this.
Jiang Cheng'er chatted with Xiaohua with a match, and learned that Xiaohua had always been the same as Qinglin, and she was idle at home on weekdays when she had nothing to do.
After all, she is the daughter of the village chief's family, and the villagers are not very happy to let their children play with Xiaohua.
If this Lin Xiaohua plays with the children in the village, and the crazy quarrel between the children is not light or serious, everyone is afraid of making Xiaohua unhappy and turning around to provoke the village chief again.
simply, everyone told their children to take a detour when they saw Xiaohua.
When she was young, Lin Xiaohua still felt lonely, and envied them going out to play in groups, but when she grew up, she formed a withdrawn temperament, and she got used to it alone.
"The meal is ready, you guys should rest first!"
Song Cuihua came with a basket containing a few bowls of egg soup.
Jiang Cheng'er put down the sickle and wiped the sweat stains on her forehead with her sleeve.
She wasn't hungry at all when she came, and she was too embarrassed to eat the village chief's eggs, so she said she wouldn't eat them.
But after doing such a job for a while, Jiang Cheng'er is now tired and thirsty.
So when Song Cuihua served her food, Jiang Cheng'er never refused.
This bowl of egg soup made Jiang Cheng'er feel that it was the sweetest sweet soup she had ever drunk.
After eating, the four of them worked even harder, and refused to go back to clean up in the sun at noon. Jiang Cheng'er pondered that since she had to work, she would finish the work at one time, and then rest well after she went back.
The two acres of wheat land were almost cut by 10 in the evening.
"The rest of the wheat will be left for me to cut it again when I have a vacancy, you and Qinglin must be tired today, and I will kill the chicken and give you half of it when I get to August 15 tomorrow!" Song Cuihua looked at the stacks of wheat piled up like a hill in front of her, not to mention how happy she was.
Jiang Cheng'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Auntie, you are too out-of-the-box when you say this, if there is nothing to do, I will go back first." ”
"No, wait, I've got a burlap bag. You pack two bags and go back, you and Qinglin Ming go to the town to grind this wheat into white flour, and you can eat steamed steamed buns for a while, and see how good the harvest is this year. Where can we eat for a family of three! Song Cuihua said as she threw the burlap bag to Lin Xiaohua and motioned for her to load the wheat.
Lin Xiaohua was obedient, and without waiting for Jiang Cheng'er to refuse, she hurriedly bent down and hugged the wheat into the burlap bag.
"Two bags for you, and two bags for your grandmother. But this matter is still going to trouble you, and I will help her bring it back later, I still have a bunch of farm work to finish here, so I won't go over. Song Cuihua said and threw two burlap bags next to Xiaohua.
Jiang Cheng'er knew that if she refused, since Song Cuihua said to give it, it would definitely be given to their family.
Even if Jiang Cheng'er doesn't want it, Song Cuihua will definitely think of something for them.
Jiang Cheng'er is helpless, just accept it, it's a big deal to think of returning this favor another day.
was originally so troubled by that phoenix, coupled with the old Li family's always mean treatment, Jiang Cheng'er had already seen through the warmth and coldness of this world, but she didn't expect Song Cuihua to be really good to their sister and brother.
This made Jiang Cheng'er feel a lot of emotion in her heart, she helped Lin Xiaohua to take the wheat into the burlap bag while thinking about it, and when she came back to her senses, everything had been packed.
When Jiang Cheng'er was struggling with how to get these four bags of wheat back, suddenly Lin Xiaohua took the initiative to speak: "Sister Jiang Cheng'er, I'll help you carry a bag back." Mother, I'll help Sister Jiang Cheng'er get the wheat back. ”
Looking at Lin Xiaohua's weak appearance, but it was also neat to say that she was working, and she directly lifted the big bag of wheat and put it on her shoulder.
