Chapter 173: Deep in Autumn

As soon as he finished saying this, the curtain of the door of the Jiang family's house was suddenly opened from the inside, and the big seal jumped out of the room with a small preface, looking at Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun in the courtyard and laughing.

"I'm listening to them all!" Xiao Xu shouted with a smile, scraping his face with his fingers, "Sister Qiu, you said you were going to marry Brother Zhun!" Shame! Don't be ashamed! ”

The child was healed as if he had discovered a secret that was not there, and the next moment it was going to be publicized as if the whole world knew it.

Sister Qiu's face burned, Rao is an older young woman, no matter how thick her face is, she can't stand a little kid teasing her like this! In embarrassment, Sister Qiu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lin Zhun's expression, so she walked over quickly and grabbed Xiao Xu's ears, pulled him out of Jiang's house with a red face, and walked to the town without looking back.

"You stinky boy, when did you come here?" Sister Qiu asked.

Xiao Xu touched Sister Qiu's red ears, and quietly protested Sister Qiu's abuse of children, An An preached: "I'm bored at home, and I want Brother An Zi to send me over." ”

After walking briskly for a while, Sister Qiu's complexion had already returned to flatness, and she slowly walked on the road with Xiao Xu, and thought back to the fact that she had just met Uncle Mei at Mei's house. In the busy autumn harvest season, Uncle Mei still does not change his "scholarly nature", with a clean robe, a clean face and hands, and clean shoes and socks. She also felt that Uncle Mei could grow a little after losing in the examination room this time, and it seemed that as long as Mei Laosu and Mao's insisted on spoiling their son, no matter how big the setback of Mei Qu was, it would be in vain.

After collecting the new grain for the current year, Li Ailian's hired several cars to pull them all to the store, and said with a smile: "These buds of rice are enough for us to eat until this time of the next year, so we don't have to buy food." ”

The newly knocked food tastes good, and it is better than buying food from other people's stores.

"How can this be!" Jia Shi shook his hand, "How much food, I'll calculate the market price for you." ”

Li Ailian's annoyance this time, "What do you mean?" I don't have anything to give you as a sister, so can't I give you a little food to eat with your niece and daughter? You still count money with me, what do you think of me? ”

"My sister is also a clear account!" Jia's good* temperament said with a smile, I still want to subsidize Li Ailian.

Li Ailianheng said, "Okay, let's settle the account today, how much is the food that our mother and wife eat in the store every day?" How much did you give Yu Xiuruo clothes, shoes, and quilts? Hello Sheng, I'll give you a lot of money. ”

"What kind of money is this? When I am an aunt, I can still ask for money to make clothes for my nephew's daughter and nephew? How much can I afford to eat? You and Yuxiu are helping in the store, can I still eat? Jia said with a smile.

Li Ailian laughed and patted Jia's shoulder, "Why don't you spend money on dinner?" Which family eats fine flour pancakes for the helpers, and eats river fish and meat on both sides of the three days? It's okay, it's okay, I'll be angry if you're polite to me again! ”

Seeing that the eldest sister insisted, Jia Shi had no choice but to give up and accepted the gift brought by Li Ailian

of food.

Sister Qiu laughed, in fact, it is so simple for relatives to get along, if both parties are reasonable and generous people, you are good to me and I am even better to you, and they get along very well, if there is one party who is harsh and harsh, it will be very difficult to get along.

Like the Mei family, in the past few days of the autumn harvest, the Jia family asked Aunt Chunhua to send two catties of water tofu to the past two days, but the Mei family had benefits, but no one said thank you to the Jia family, and Sister Qiu and the Jia family did not see a single piece of food from the Mei family.

It's not that the Jia family wants to repair the relationship with them, but the kinship is here, the Jia family has made money, and they would rather send water tofu to outsiders to cook rice than be willing to give their uncle some water tofu, and people will not say that Mei Laosu Mao has abused his daughter-in-law, and people will only feel that Jia has no filial piety.

At this time, Mei Laosuo's heart was full of irritability, and his mouth was full of anger. At this time, the temperature is suitable, the wheat comes out quickly, and it grows too high to carry the snow cover in winter, and if the plough is late, and the wheat does not germinate when the weather is cold, it is even worse.

Planting crops is to keep up with the harvest, and if you miss it, you will regret it for a year.

By this time most of the families had already ploughed their fields and were ready to sow seeds, but their fields had not yet been cleared of the roots.

He originally calculated very well, the second daughter-in-law has already been out of confinement, and she can go to the field to work, Yindi and the big cow and the two cows and children can be worth a strong laborer, plus him, Mao and the second child, a few people can easily complete the ten acres of land.

But what he didn't expect was that after the second family reluctantly harvested the crops, they quit, and let him shout and scold Mao no matter how they wanted, and they didn't take a step out of the house.

"Whoever eats and works without work, does not eat!" I didn't catch the honest people and oppressed them endlessly! My poor daughter, before she opened her eyes to see her mother, she was gone! Second Aunt Mei was crying in the room.

Mei Laosu and Mao's hearts all understood that the second family was dissatisfied with Mei Qu's behavior of reading books in the house and not working. When Meiqu didn't take the exam before, the big guys always had expectations in their hearts, even if they were resentful, they didn't behave too out of line, and there was a girl who couldn't open her eyes to see the world...... That is also the pimple in the hearts of the second couple and the couple, and it is a good handle to threaten them. Now that Meiqu has not passed the exam, she has to spend this kind of meal at home to open her mouth, and the second family is not happy.

It really seems that Mei's second uncle and father's family can see that even if Mei Qu is admitted to the old Xiucai, what can they do, it is nothing more than exempting the old man from servitude and taxes, and those with good grades can receive food, and they can sit in the library to earn money for teaching. And with Mei Qu's temper, it is unlikely that he will take care of them like his eldest brother Mei Liang.

Second Uncle Mei's family threatened with a "strike", this trick is very effective, planting crops can not be delayed, otherwise they will wait for a hungry child the next year, which is more effective than the previous Second Uncle Mei and Aunt Mei went out to quarrel with Mao.

Meiqu is also no, not working on the ground.

After Mei Liang was admitted to the old Xiucai, Mei Qu never went down

Land, he has always studied seriously in the town, and all ten years have passed since this shake, and he doesn't even remember where his ten acres of land are.

Mei Laosuo's heart is heartbroken, and he is reluctant to let Mei Qu be tired, but there are five people from the second family, if Mei Qu is lazy and does not work, they will dare to pick a strike. Mei Laosu only arranged as easy work as possible for Mei Qu to do, he pulled the plow in front of him, and Mei Qu held the plow in the back, so he didn't need to exert force, just to maintain the stability of the plow.

This work seems to be all done by a physical villain woman or a half-grown child, Meiqu not only did not feel relaxed, but complained bitterly, just walked into the ground, a moment of suspicion of the corn roots in the ground rooted in the foot, a moment of suspicion of grasshoppers flying into his neck, dissatisfied muttering, "Sister-in-law's family is not a little black donkey!" Why don't you borrow it to help plow the land? If we borrow it, we will plow all this land in less than a moment! ”

"Yo, his uncle, you are worthy of being a scholar, and you feel that a single mouth is a thing? You go to your sister-in-law's house to borrow a little black donkey, and see if they lend it to you! Aunt Mei sarcastically said.

If possible, she also wanted to borrow the little black donkey of the eldest daughter-in-law's family to plough the land, but the eldest daughter-in-law had already told the people who wanted to borrow the little black donkey, the little black donkey was still young, and could not do heavy work, and had to grind beans at home every day, and did not have the physical strength to pull the plow.

At this time, some villagers passed by the side of Mei's land, and when they saw that Meiqu had also gone to the ground, they smiled and said with a curious smile: "Eh, the scholars also go down to the field to work?" ”

The Mei family only smiled embarrassedly and didn't answer the man's words.

Although the man was not malicious, but Mei Qu was still ashamed and angry, feeling that he was just a defeat, and everyone looked down on him. He can't raise his head in front of the Jia family now, where does he dare to open his mouth to borrow the little black donkey? Holding his breath, Meiqu didn't complain anymore, and followed the example of others to help the plow.

Mei Laosuo saw that the kid didn't say a word, and felt that the kid had figured it out, and he felt relieved in his heart, and he was even more energetic in pulling the plow.

However, it was Meiqu who was really too wastewood, Mei Laosuo pulled the plow and didn't take a few steps forward, Meiqu couldn't support the plow cart in the back, and the plough fell to the ground violently, and Meiqu couldn't stand on his feet and fell.

It was fine for him to fall under the mud and wilderness, but it hurt Mei Laosuo, who was pulling the plough vigorously in front of him.

Pulling the plough is the most laborious, relying on manpower to plow the soft soil of the knotted soil, the plough puller hangs the rope on the shoulder, the head is in front of the feet behind, and the body and the ground almost become an angle of 30 degrees, so that the physical strength of the mixed body can pull the plow.

As soon as Mei Qu let go of his hand in the back, Mei Laosu was still exerting force in front, and the iron plow was pulled out of the ground in an instant, and pierced Mei Laosuo's legs, and in an instant blood mixed with the soil on the plow poured out.

"Yikes!" Mei Qu screamed in fright, and after getting up, he stood there at a loss, and watched Mei Laosu fall to the ground with cold arms and legs.

Mei Tang and a few people who were plowing the land on another piece of land hurriedly ran over, and they were also startled when they saw Mei Laosuo's appearance, "

What's going on? ”

Mei Qu took this time to ease his mind, and hurriedly explained: "I...... We stumbled...... "He wanted to get rid of his responsibilities, and he couldn't say anything for a long time. "Father, how are you?"

Seeing Mei Laosuo's painful frowning eyebrows and closing his eyes, Mei Qucai was really frightened, although he looked down on Mei Laosuo, he felt that Mei Laosuo was unproductive, incapable, and couldn't get on the table, but without Mei Laosuo, he really didn't rely on it.

"Eh! Uncle Mei is so hurt! "The villagers on the surrounding boundary also came in twos and threes, and you and I talked about it word by word.
