Chapter 40: Unable to parry

Qiu Mo washed his hands and came back, Zhang Xiaohua had already served him a meal, and when he came over, he said, "Let's eat!" It's time to go out to work after eating, or your mother will have to talk about it again. ”

"Oh!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohua waiting for him to come over before starting, Qiu Mo was extremely happy.

Although there was only porridge and fried dried radish on the table, it was as if he had eaten a delicacy. The mood is particularly satisfying.

"Xiaohua, what do you want these bamboo tubes for?" Qiu Mo found a few bamboo tubes on the edge of the table, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhang Xiaohua glanced at the bamboo tube she made herself, and said mysteriously: "You'll know what I'm going to do later." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Mo became even more curious. But seeing that Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to say more, he didn't dare to ask more, for fear of annoying Zhang Xiaohua.

"Qiu Mo, you let go of eating, there is still a lot of rice in the pot! Not enough to go to Sheng anymore. Knowing that Qiu Mo had a large amount of food, Zhang Xiaohua reminded.

Qiu Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "I... I know. ”

No one has ever cared about whether he is full or not, and now that Zhang Xiaohua cares so much, he is both moved and a little overwhelmed.

Finally, under the care of Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua only ate two bowls of rice by herself, and most of the remaining half of the rice was eaten by Qiu Mo alone.

When she saw Qiu Mo's satisfied expression, Zhang Xiaohua knew that Qiu Mo really hugged him.

After eating a full meal, Zhang Xiaohua asked Qiu Mo to wash the dishes, and then took the bamboo tube to the stove.

In the big iron pot was the rice she didn't put out, and she poured the rice into the bamboo tube one by one.

Fill two bamboo tubes, and use one bamboo tube to bring the rest of the dried radish with you.

When Qiu Mo came back from washing the dishes, Zhang Xiaohua had already packed them all.

"Qiu Mo, you go and pull some banana leaves, pull more, wash them and bring them over."

Qiu Mo came in with the bowl and put it away, but before she could see what Zhang Xiaohua was doing, she was sent by her to pull the banana leaves.

"Oh!" Qiu Mo didn't dare to hesitate, and went out to pull the banana leaves after answering.

When he came back with the cleaned banana leaves, he found that Zhang Xiaohua had already filled the bamboo tube with porridge and dried radish.

And the porridge in the pot has bottomed out.

Qiu Mo wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.

Zhang Xiaohua rolled up the banana leaves and stuffed them into the bamboo tube in the shape of a piston to prevent the porridge from flowing backwards.

After packing the meal, Zhang Xiaohua asked Qiu Mo to take the guy to work in the field. But before leaving, Zhang Xiaohua took two sweet potatoes that Qiu Hongsheng hadn't sold in the firewood room and followed.

Today, Qiu Mo and Zhang Xiaohua's task is to open the land to grow sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are not grown with vines, but directly with sweet potato chunks.

Qiu Mo picked two large baskets of sweet potato seeds on his shoulders, and also held two hoes in his hands. And Zhang Xiaohua just followed behind with four bamboo tubes.

Zhang Xiaohua thought that planting sweet potatoes was to dig a pit in the ground and plant it directly, but she didn't expect to loosen the soil, level the land, and so on.

Seeing Qiu Mo digging the soil, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly didn't want to move.

The land they want to plant, to say the least, has an acre, and they really want to dig it with a hoe like this, and they don't know how long they will dig.

"Qiu Mo, is there no other way? If we dig like this, we may not be able to finish it tomorrow, right? Zhang Xiaohua said.

Qiu Mo stopped what he was doing and said with a look of embarrassment: "But the family's cattle were driven to the town by my father, and we don't have cattle to plow the land." ”

Cultivated land?

That's right! How could she have forgotten that they could use cattle instead of labor!

"Then wait until your father comes back! Digging this way won't work. Zhang Xiaohua said.

If she really wants to finish digging this acre of land, she must not die of exhaustion?

"But... But my father had to use cows every day. Moreover, I don't know how to plow the land, I dig all the land at home. Qiu Mo said.

"What?" Zhang Xiaohua looked incredulous. "So, all these years, you dug all this land alone?"

Qiu Mo nodded, "Hmm! ”

"Is this human work? You can use cows, why should you do it, it's just too much. ”

Zhang Xiaohua really can't wait to go back now, pull Hu Qiuxia up and scold her. They were tired and tired in the field, but Hu Qiuxia slept lazily at home.

"Xiaohua, don't be angry, I'm not afraid of being tired. Xiaohua sat next to me and watched me dig, I don't want Xiaohua to be tired. Qiu Mo said.

He has always done these jobs alone, and he never thought of asking Zhang Xiaohua to help him. Moreover, he was reluctant to let Zhang Xiaohua work hard.

"Qiu Mo, are you stupid! I don't care what you were like before, now that you're my father-in-law, then you have to listen to me. We must resolutely resist such unfair treatment. Zhang Xiaohua said angrily.

If Hu Qiuxia is a good mother and mother-in-law, she is also very good to them. Then it is only natural that they should work hard for this family. But Hu Qiuxia clearly doesn't treat them as human beings, she simply treats them as slaves without human rights.

Zhang Xiaohua thinks she is also a kind person, but she doesn't want to be treated as a fool by others.

She is a principled person, and she can't repay her grievances with virtue. She only knows that there is revenge and revenge, and there is kindness to repay kindness. People who treat her badly still want her to be gentle?

No way!

"So, what does Xiaohua say we should do?" Qiu Mo didn't expect Zhang Xiaohua to suddenly get angry, and he didn't dare to move the hoe at the moment, so he threw the hoe on the ground and asked weakly.

Zhang Xiaohua was only a little angry for a while, but after calming down, she was much calmer.

Whether there are cows or not, these tasks are theirs, waiting for them to complete them sooner or later. But if she was to dig the soil with her bare hands like this, she would feel very aggrieved.

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes swept around.

At this time, there were many people working in the fields, and there happened to be a family not far away who was cultivating the fields. Zhang Xiaohua's eyes flashed and she walked over directly.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was about to leave without saying a word, Qiu Mo thought that she was angry and was about to leave him, so he hurriedly caught up with her. grabbed her and said anxiously: "Xiaohua, don't go, I will listen to you what you say you want me to do, don't you go, okay?" ”

Zhang Xiaohua: "......"

"Let go, so many people are watching! What are you pulling and pulling? Zhang Xiaohua wanted to shake off Qiu Mo's hand, but Qiu Mo couldn't be so easy to shake off if he was more serious.

"I won't let go, I don't want you to leave. Xiaohua is not allowed to leave me. Afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would leave, Qiu Mo simply held her tightly in his arms and said that he would not let go of anything.

Seeing strange eyes coming from all directions, Zhang Xiaohua really wanted to scold Qiu Mo.

But she finally held back her temper, tried to make her tone sound softer, and said, "I'm not leaving, but if you don't let go, I'll really go." ”

Qiu Mo is tall and big, and holding her in his arms is as easy as holding a cat and a dog. She can't resist even if she wants to!
