52. Liu's determination

The land here to Yao Dazhuang's house is not very far, with Aunt Liu's chicken bus, it is much better than the last time, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law three back and forth to draw water and water the ground, although tossing three or four times, but also almost watered two acres of land, this process is much faster than the last time.

First watered the two acres of first-class fertile land that Yao Dazhuang had originally divided, and the watering here was meticulous, and the other two acres of third-class thin fields were watered casually in the afternoon, anyway, those two acres were planted with miscellaneous grains such as soybean buds, which were harvested later than wheat, and it would rain after a while, this was Song Lingxue's plan.

As for the two acres of peanuts, sweet potatoes and artichoke eggs, there is no need to water the four acres of peanuts, sweet potatoes and artichoke eggs, and they are too far away to be powerless, and they didn't water last time.

"Push the water one last time, sprinkle the two acres of wheat again, and the sun will be high out of the town, and the sun will be panicked." Song Lingxue soaked the square towel on her head in the water, then twisted the water slightly, and put the square towel on the top of her head.

Liu and He also responded, this time it was much easier to have a chicken bus, and it didn't take much effort to water more than two acres of land, and the two of them were also happy.

Song Lingxue said again that she would come over again when the weather was cool in the evening, and watered the other two acres of thin fields, saving it too hot at noon, and the two daughters-in-law also nodded yes, and they both felt that their mother-in-law had become more considerate.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and they saw that Aunt Hua's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also came back, carrying a flat burden and coming to draw water.

Song Lingxue sighed in her heart, but she didn't say anything, although she felt pitiful for them, but the original owner Yang Lihua also came over like this before, and this chicken bus was also borrowed from Aunt Liu's family, so Song Lingxue was not ready to lend it to them.

Sighing in her heart that it is not easy for this rural woman, and thinking that it is really not good to have a man who can contribute to the family, Song Lingxue remembered that when Yao Dazhuang and his father and son were at home, the work in the field basically did not require them to be so tired, because the three of them were very capable, and even Yao Shizhu, who had always been a little lazy and slippery, knew the importance and worked very hard.

I hope that the matter on the digging channel will end quickly, Song Lingxue thought, it will start to be busy after a while, and if the men in the family don't come back, it's really not good, relying on her, a working woman who didn't even do housework in her previous life, she can't lead her two daughters-in-law!

After Song Lingxue's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pushed six buckets of water to water the two acres of fertile land for the last time, they went home against the already high sun.

When I went back, Shi Lan had already made lunch, because they had made a lot of effort today, so they made noodles, topped with eggplant with meat foam, and a spoonful of Liu's pickled capers, which tasted amazing.

Song Lingxue washed her hands and faces when they were in the ditch, so they didn't waste the water at home, and they drank a bowl of syrup water, and then sat down at the table set up under the grass shed to eat.

After eating, Song Lingxue instructed the Liu family and them to take a rest, and she also went back to the house for a lunch break.

Although this time I didn't carry water like before, but I pushed the chicken bus back and forth more than a dozen times on the side, and when I got to the field, I had to take a water scoop and carry a bucket to sprinkle water from the end of the field to the end of the ground, which was also a laborious job, Song Lingxue felt a little sore in her arm at this time, and I hope to stick to it in the afternoon, and there are still two acres of thin fields to water.

Song Lingxue woke up covered in sweat, sticky and a little uncomfortable, so she was ready to go to the stove room to wipe her body with a basin of water, who knew that after going to the stove room, she saw Liu, she had already kneaded the noodles and was about to steam steamed buns.

Song Lingxue went over and asked: "Old man, didn't you let you go and rest for a while, why did you come to work again, didn't you say that the affairs of this family were handed over to Shi Lan." ”

"Mother, it's okay, I'm not tired, there are no steamed buns away from home, Shi Lan doesn't know how to steam steamed buns, I can't sleep anyway, take advantage of the hard work to steam steamed buns and wowotou." Liu smiled innocently, his subordinates did not stop, and with a kneading and kneading, a yellow multigrain nest was placed on the grate covered with a cage cloth.

Such proficiency makes Song Lingxue ashamed, and she may not be pinched in her hands, let alone such a good-looking one.

"I'm just afraid you're too tired." Song Lingxue smiled and said, then suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "I went to borrow a car today, and I heard Liu Zhi say that a cousin and niece of her mother's family are going to marry, and it is your third brother?" ”

Hearing this, Liu's hand movements froze, and his voice was a little uncomfortable, and he lowered his head and said sullenly: "Yes, the third brother and the fourth brother in the family are not married, and the third brother is fifteen this year, and it will be difficult to say if it is delayed any longer." ”

In addition to the above brother and sister, there are four younger brothers in Liu's family, and they are only one or two years old, the family is naturally poor, I heard that the year before last and last year, when her eldest brother and second brother got married, they raised two houses, and the only family foundation was hollowed out, and now there are two younger brothers who are not settled, and it is not easy.

Thinking of this, Song Lingxue suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, the Liu family seemed to be a little sad, but it was all a moment of effort, Song Lingxue thought that she was worried about watering the land at home, so she didn't care, and now she thinks that it may have something to do with her mother's family.

After all, it is an in-law family, and it is not a trivial matter for Liu's mother's younger brother to marry, but Liu's family did not say anything, which is not normal.

So Song Lingxue asked, "But what's the difficulty at home?" She also asked knowingly, after all, Liu's mother's family is so poor, isn't the biggest difficulty money? It's just that Liu doesn't say it, and she, who is a mother-in-law, can't directly ask if she has no money, which hurts her self-esteem a little.

Song Lingxue didn't want to care about Liu's self-esteem because of her honest temperament, after all, no matter how real she was, she also had her own face.

"Mother, don't worry, I also know the situation of our family." Liu suddenly gritted his teeth and said, as if he had made up his mind: "My mother's family is a bottomless pit, no matter how much you help, it's useless, the water spilled by my married daughter, I am now the Yao family, so I can't always help my mother's family." ”

Liu's words made Song Lingxue stunned, completely unclear So, in my memory, Liu was a very honest person, and never said anything about taking anything from her mother's house, unlike He's who always secretly saved something to send to her father and younger brother.

The former owner Yang Lihua is also very annoyed like this, she thinks that she is a motherless, so she doesn't like her daughter-in-law to run to her mother's house, and she also takes things by the way, even during the New Year's Festival, it is also a pack of the cheapest snacks and a small basket of steamed buns, which fully reflects her stingy image.
