Chapter 93: The Golden Mean

Sister Qiu couldn't help but roll her eyes, when the family was separated, this Nizi deliberately stumbled on her, and made it bad several times, she didn't care about this Nizi a lot, why did this Nizi look like "you owe me eight hundred taels"! Is there any reason for it?

Receiving the white eyes of Sister Qiu, Mei Yindi was even more angry, rolled her eyes with a harsh look, and said with a crooked mouth: "The family is so busy, my mother is pregnant with her little brother all on the ground, how can some people be so cheeky, eat my family's food, and hide at home when they are doing work!" ”

Sister Qiu almost didn't laugh, and glanced at the already rising sun, when is this all right, where is the farm not going down at dawn when the farm is busy. Mei Laosuo and Mao's iron have already gone to the ground, and the rest of the people of the second family are swaying to the fields without delay, where is the place to hide!

"That's what the eldest sister said." Sister Qiu nodded, and said solemnly to Second Uncle Mei: "Second Uncle, you are too late to go to the ground today, you can get up early tomorrow, my grandfather and my grandmother are old, you can't always point to the two of them to work." ”

Second Uncle Mei's eyes widened, "What are you talking about?" Do you tell it again? Do you talk to your elders like that? ”

Mei Yindi's face turned red with anger, "What are you talking nonsense, I don't mean that!" ”

Da Niu also shouted on the side: "Why don't you and your mother go to the ground?" You have divided the food and money of my family! ”

Erniu was snorting, and looked at his family and Sister Qiu a little blankly.

Sister Qiu Heng, just the hundred pounds of millet noodles, the second family of the loss will not forget until now, as for it! Besides, isn't that millet noodle what they should be? Jia's has been doing cattle and horses for many years, and at the end of the year, she will send away a hundred pounds of millet noodles and a bunch of money, and she still feels that her family has lost a lot of money!

"Yo, smack, Sister Qiu's mouth is getting worse and worse!" Second Aunt Mei croaked, laughed very affectionately, and talked about Second Uncle Mei and Mei Yindi, "It's all a family, what are you doing and fighting, don't you let outsiders see the joke!" He smiled at Sister Qiu and said, "Sister Qiu, don't you do business with your mother these days?" Isn't your idea quite prosperous, if you don't do it for a few days, how much less will it be! ”

"Look at what the second aunt said, how many copper plates can I have in those small transactions with my mother? I don't know when I'll be able to save enough money to pay off my debts! Our family's debt is not a small amount. Sister Qiu said with a smile.

Mei Yindi hurriedly shouted: "What is our family's debt!" That's your family's debt, what does it have to do with us! ”

Sister Qiu glanced at her and didn't speak, wondering what kind of little family was not on the stage, and it was people like Mei Yindi who were talking about it with shallow eyes.

Second Aunt Mei raised her foot and gently kicked Mei Yindi, but Mei Yindi stopped her mouth unconvinced.

"Sister Qiu, our family has a lot of land, big cows and two cows, and we can't stand up to things, you and your mother have nothing to do to come to our house to help! Not an outsider. Aunt Mei said with a smile, and quickly added, "In the past few days, our family has eaten all the fine flour pancakes, and you are full, and your milk is still back."

Cut a piece of grass pig hind leg meat and boil the meat at noon to eat! ”

Sister Qiu smiled and said, "Why is our family less and more?" That's your land, what does it have to do with us? As he spoke, he walked around the second family of the Mei family with his son in his arms. Aunt Mei'er is still Sister Xiaoqiu, who can't eat all the miscellaneous grains and pancakes? When you come out with a fine noodle pancake, you want to coax her to work with Jia Shi for nothing?

Their family's life is not much better than that of the Mei family, they have plenty of money, Sister Qiu is never willing to compromise her family in terms of food, although she has not eaten fine noodles and pancakes, they are all very good, and she often buys meat and river fish in the town. In previous years, when the farm was busy, it was true that they ate fine noodles and pancakes, but the meat in the dishes was never as good as Sister Qiu and Jia's.

Second Uncle Mei's father stomped his feet angrily, and acquaintances from the township passed by, smiling and asking what was going on, Second Uncle Mei looked like "unfortunate at home", shook his head and sighed: "If my eldest brother is alive, he may be called this unfilial girl!" My eldest brother is such a good person, how did he give birth to such a daughter? Huh! ”

The person who came asked casually, who didn't know what kind of person Mei Lao Er was, who didn't know about it, and who didn't know about the bad things of the Mei family, even if he laughed a few times, he took a step first.

When Sister Qiu arrived home, Jia Shi was washing vegetables, and invited Sister Qiu to wash her face and wipe her sweat, and then picked up a good cucumber from the basin at the well platform and handed it to Sister Qiu, and asked with a smile: "Is it hot?" ”

"Okay." Sister Qiu took a bite of the cucumber that was cold to the deep well water ice, and chewed it with a clatter. The cucumbers were sent by Aunt Chunhua yesterday, and they have always been immersed in deep well water, which is many times better than those cucumbers that have been ripened with contraceptive pills in the 21st century.

"Mother, on the way back, I met the second uncle's family, took a sickle and went to the field, inside and out, saying that the two of us ate their noodles and took their money, and we should not hide at home, we should go to the field to help harvest wheat." Sister Qiu finished eating the cucumber and started talking to Jia Shi like gossip.

Jia Shi was silent, picked up the hair that hung down in front of his face, and said: "They also have a lot of manpower, your grandparents and your second uncle and father are all strong laborers, Yindi and Da Niu can all use half of the labor, even your second aunt can also fight." We are usually not idle, so it's easy to be free and rest at home. ”

She felt that her daughter was right, the Mei family's land didn't have their mother's share, what did it matter to them? When they got up in the middle of the night to grind beans and make water tofu, why didn't they see the Mei family to help?

Sister Qiu nodded with a smile, and Jia's thoughts are now leaning closer and closer to her, which is a good thing. If before, the Jia family, who brainwashed Mei Lao Xiucai's "foolishness", ran to do her best to work for the Mei family, this is exactly what she was worried about, you know, when Qingming burned Mei Lao Xiucai's paper to the grave, Jia still thought that Mei Lao Xiucai was gone, and her Mei Lao Xiucai served her in-laws with filial piety.

Sister Qiu is not opposed to filial piety to Mei Laosu and Mao's family, in the end, they gave birth to Mei Lao Xiucai, and if there is no Mei Lao Xiucai, there will be no Mei Qiu. is only in the Mei family, filial piety to Mei Lao

Suo and the Mao family meant that they had to give up their own work to be cattle and horses for the Mei family, and these Qiu sisters couldn't do it, and they didn't want to do it.

By noon, Jia's morning noodles were ready, but yellow-black, although they didn't look very good, they were all natural.

What Sister Qiu loves most is to smell the fragrance of the dry food when she was in the pot, accompanied by the steam overflowing, which is the pure wheat flour fragrance, mellow and strong. She could often smell it when she was a child, but when she was older, even if she steamed dry food by herself, she didn't have the taste in her memory, not to mention the kind of dry food like white paper, which tasted dry and didn't have the fragrance of dry food.

The lunch dish is made by Sister Qiu, a minced cowpea, a home-cooked water tofu, and a boiled river fish that has always been praised by the big guys.

When Sister Qiu and Jia's packed up the food and sent it to the territory, the Jiang family's wheat had already cut a large piece of wheat and was ready to be left for wheat.

The Mei family is different, there is still so much land, but compared to this time last year, there are two less, Mei Laoxiu and Jia's family, these two will make a big contribution. After cutting the wheat in the morning, Mei's second uncle complained for days, Mei Laosu and Mao's also felt that the pressure was too great, but it was this day and no one waited, if it couldn't be harvested and it rained, the wheat would be lost.

It has always been noon, Mei Laosuo straightened up and looked at the situation of the wheat harvest, far less than he imagined the progress of the progress, Mei Tang has not cut more than half of him, the big cow only cares about playing in the field, half of the things are not top, Mei Laosuo is anxious in his heart, thinking about Mei Liang and Jia Shi last year, he doesn't have to worry much about his heart at all, even Sister Xiaoqiu, is also busy doing some hands-on work.

This family should not be divided, the second family can't do work, stealing and playing tricks is better than one another! Mei Laosuo was very remorseful in his heart, he should have stopped the Mao family and the second child at first, just seeing the eldest daughter-in-law eating with Sister Qiu, but not seeing others doing work! The family is now noisy, and the neighbors are all very opinionated, and now the Mao family knows how good the Jia family is, but there is no way to go back to the past.

"You go home with your second daughter-in-law to cook!" Mei Laosu preached to Mao's that all the people in the fields next to him had come to deliver food, and the second child also muttered that he was hungry a few times.

Mao's heart is also holding a wisp of anger, in the morning she scolded back and forth a few times, before scolding the second daughter-in-law to go to the ground, but when the people go to the ground, they either sit in the shade of the tree to rest, or it is inconvenient to symbolically hug the wheat twice, she is already angry. But the left and right sides of the field are all villagers, and she is not good at scolding, the second daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, and others hear it, and they don't say anything on their lips, and their hearts are definitely biased towards the second daughter-in-law.

If the eldest daughter-in-law is here, where can she worry about it? The work in the field and the work in the house are all done properly.

"Second daughter-in-law, let's go, go home and cook!" Mao's tall

shouted.

Aunt Mei's hungry stomach growled, and when she heard Mao's call to her, she immediately threw the wheat she was holding in her arms to the edge of the field, clapped her hands, and went back with Mao's belly.

When the two passed by the Jiang family's territory, they heard a group of people laughing and muttering something from afar, which was very lively. When they got closer, Mao saw clearly, Jia and Sister Qiu sat in the shade of the trees on the edge of the Jiang family's field, watching the Jiang family eat, and the young men on the side all came with rice bowls, muttering that the Jiang family's rice was delicious, and came to grab a few mouthfuls of food to eat.
