Although Mrs. Li also thinks that her daughter's cooking is delicious, she is even more distressed, the big girl's house with fine skin and tender meat, where is it so easy to cook two or three meals for more than a dozen people a day?

Men always take it for granted that the work in the stove house is easy, but only the women know how uncomfortable it must be to stay in the stove house on such a hot day.

In previous years, girls did not suffer from this crime, and this year they can't.

Therefore, looking at the gluttony on the third child's face, his heart was on fire, and he went up to beat him.

Sun sat far away, only daring to sit on the edge of the shade.

She also got a bowl of chicken noodle soup just now, which was the best meal she had ever had at Mei's house.

Looking at Mei Xiaotong's eyes at this moment, it was full of complicated meanings.

An Huahao looked over vigilantly, and Sun immediately lowered his head.

Mei Xiaotong persuaded Mrs. Li and agreed, and she made the lunch and dinner of the autumn harvest in the past few days, and immediately received a response from the Mei family.

Eat and drink enough, rest for a while, and wait until the hottest part of the noon has passed, and then you will go down again.

Everyone was very tired, and after a few gossips, they all lay down on the spot and took a break to rest for a while.

The villagers are like this, and at a glance, other people's families have long been lying on the ground, snoring. However, a few children, who still have the strength to run around and make trouble, are not afraid of the heat, and run to the distance to catch butterflies and insects to play.

Mrs. Li couldn't bear it anymore and took a nap against the tree.

Mei Xiaotong carefully put the dishes and chopsticks in the bamboo basket and took them back to wash them later.

Look at the rice paddies again, the cut rice has been neatly tied and tied, standing in the middle of the field, waiting for someone to transport them back to their own drying field.

His own carriage was parked on the ridge.

The mule is tied under a small tree and leisurely gnaws on the weeds.

Mei Xiaotong quietly went down to the field, didn't take two steps, found that there was movement behind her, turned around, An Huahao, who was sitting and pretending to sleep, had already got up dexterously, and followed her without any movement and went down to the field.

"Why did you get off the field? Go back, there's leeches in the mud. An Huahao stretched out his hand to pull Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong avoided An Huahao's outstretched hand, "I'm idle, I'm idle, I'll carry these bundled paddy to the carriage, and my eldest brother will wake up in a while, just transport it home directly." Mei Xiaotong replied while looking at Sun.

Sun seemed to be asleep, leaning on Mei Changqing, his eyes closed.

"How is Sun doing today?" When Mei Xiaotong arrived at the rice field, she easily picked up two bundles of rice and walked to the carriage.

An Huahao shook his head and followed behind, he had too much physical exertion in the morning, mainly because he had to bend over all the time, and when he saw that Mei Xiaotong could pick up two bundles of rice, he hesitated for a moment, and grabbed a bundle with one hand, but as a result, he almost didn't flash his waist when he used his strength. … iSense Literature is free to read

first glanced at Mei Xiaotong reflexively, and saw that she didn't seem to notice.

Anwar breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.

simply didn't take it anymore, picked up a bundle and walked behind Mei Xiaotong, while saying, "I think the Sun family is about to take it anymore, it's been a few days." ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded.

When the sun was not so strong, everyone also rested for a while, and they had the spirit and strength again.

Packed up his sickle tools and was about to go to the ground, Mei Xiaoque was excited, "Look, our family's rice-"

Everyone followed his gesture and saw that the bundled rice in the Mei family's field had been moved to the carriage and placed neatly in the yards.

This handwriting, don't think about it, it must be Mei Xiaotong.

When the children saw that the adults were up to work, they all ran back sensibly.

"Xiaoque, did your aunt move this rice?" Mrs. Li asked.

Xiaoque nodded: "It was my aunt who moved with Uncle An." ”

Mrs. Li looked back, and An Huahao had gone to work in the field silently.

I was satisfied with An Huahao again.

His face was not shown, and he urged Mei Xiaoque to drag the rice home quickly.

Watching Mei Xiaoque drive the carriage and walk slowly towards the house, he was envious of the other people around him, and he had that flexible brain, so he rubbed it over, "Uncle, uncle, when your carriage is empty, can you lend it to our envoy?" Let our family also stain your light? ”

Mei Zhongzhong doesn't matter, he has the best reputation and face in his life, as soon as he heard that people held him high, he thought that if his family was busy, this mule would be lent to others to call, and it would be nothing, and he could get a good reputation.

Open your mouth to say yes.

Mrs. Li was in a hurry, took a step forward, and inserted her waist, "I want to use our family's carriage, okay, when our family's food is harvested, let my family boss go." But I said in advance, with a one-day carriage, in addition to the green fodder of the mule, and the three meals a day of my eldest child, twenty eldest sons a day. ”

The person who came to borrow the carriage for nothing was the mother-in-law of the family who loved to take advantage of the village the most, and when she heard that she had to take care of the forage for the mules, and the three meals a day for the boss of the Mei family, and collected twenty big dollars a day, her face suddenly drooped.

"I said Aunt Li, do you want to slam the door like this? It's all from the villagers, borrow your mule for use, and you're embarrassed to take the money? It's still twenty big boys a day, why don't you grab it? ”

"Whew! Lady, I don't pick the door and close your? I've never seen you so skinless and faceless who wants to take advantage of your old mother's family! Why am I embarrassed to take money? You don't have anything to do with my old Mei's family, why did you borrow a mule for nothing? With your big face? Or are you thick-skinned? Mrs. Li's eyes almost didn't roll to the sky, and while arguing with the mother-in-law, she didn't forget to kick Mei Zhongzhong.

This old man, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes, and he still thinks he is in charge! When someone else has two kind words, he lends such a good mule to someone for nothing

Order about?

Mei Zhongzhong saw that the two old ladies were arguing, their heads were big, and they didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they walked away with the power of Mrs. Li's foot.

The mother-in-law who loved to take advantage saw that Mei Zhongzhong, who was the best talker, was gone, and knew that she was not Mrs. Li's opponent, so she snorted and reluctantly went back to her own place.

When I went back, I was complained by the men in the family, "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" The mules that my uncle's family just bought are not used at home, how can you be cheeky enough to borrow them? Look, you touched your nose with ashes, right? ”

The mother-in-law was ruthless in her heart, and she didn't spare people, "What's the matter?" I just can't get used to it, I just rely on my daughter to earn money, what kind of garlic is it in front of my mother? ”

said angrily and patted the girl he gave birth to twice, "Look at other people's daughters, they will make money again, and they will stick to their parents!" Why did the old lady give birth to you debt collectors? Still not ready to work? I don't work and I don't have anything to eat at night......"

It was just a small episode, and no one took it seriously.

They are only busy in their own fields, and this grain must be received in their own houses before they can relax their hearts, where is the time to take care of other people's homes? Isn't it idle and painful?

Mei Xiaotong went home, Mei Changgui was still waiting for her, the two bowls of noodles were almost cold, and she didn't eat them.

The two brothers and sisters ate noodles in twos and threes, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, they heard Mei Xiaoque's voice outside, "Fourth, come out and watch." ”

When I was discharged from the hospital, Mei Xiaoque had already driven the carriage to the door of the house and was unloading bundles of straw.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly stepped forward to help, and with her help, those heavy rice bundles, which were light and obedient in Mei Xiaotong's hands, were stacked together by An An.

Even if they knew that their sister was infinitely powerful, the two Mei Xiaoque brothers couldn't help but feel a little inferior when they looked at their sister's relaxed appearance.

After unloading the rice, Mei Xiaoque hurriedly drove away.

Mei Xiaotong wanted to continue to prepare dinner in the stove house, and Mei Changgui squatted at the gate and looked at the pile of grain, afraid that someone would come to take the sheep.

From morning to night, the whole family went into battle, and when it was dark, the Mei family went home with exhaustion.

Except for those who are particularly desperate, they basically finish work at this time, and there is no one in the house to cook, and the mother-in-law has to trot all the way home, feel the dark and come out of the dining table, so that the hungry family members can fill their stomachs, and they will have strength the next day.

The Mei family was also like this in previous years, and this year, Mei Xiaotong cooked, especially Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and felt a lot easier.

I was so tired that I couldn't walk, but when I thought of Mei Xiaotong's lunch cooking, my steps involuntarily accelerated.

As soon as the courtyard of the Mei family was pushed open, a pungent smell of meat greeted him.

A table has been set up in the middle of the yard, with a large pot of stewed rabbit, a large pot of grass carp stewed tofu, and a few cold dishes, as well as dry rice, and

With the cool mung bean water, the exhaustion of people seems to be swept away.

Everyone put down the sickle and went to wash their faces and hands, and the children had long been around the table, drooling at the delicious food on the table.

The Mei family has a strict upbringing, and without the consent of adults, no matter how greedy these children are, they only watch, and none of them dare to stretch out their hands.

After eating and drinking, several children praised Mei Xiaotong again and again.

Mei Xiaotong also smiled, and announced in front of the whole family, "I'll make more breakfast tomorrow, if you can't finish eating, let's take it at noon first." I'll go to town early tomorrow morning to buy some meat or something, and the eldest brother will leave the carriage at home, and drive the carriage faster, and the bundled rice will wait for me to come back to help carry it, and it won't delay anything. ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she first felt sorry for the money, "Today, there are pheasants, rabbits, and fish, and the family is better now, so you can't throw money like this?" It's good to have a little oily meat, where can I use it and go to the town to buy pork? What to eat is not to eat? In previous years, it was not as good as this, didn't they all come over? All of them are the lives of the poor in the village, and they eat big fish and meat every day, and they lose their lives! ”

Originally, when they heard that Mei Xiaotong was going to buy meat, everyone was happy, but when Mrs. Li objected like this, everyone's faces were bitter.

"Mother, the most critical time of the year is these few days, and our family's annual rations can be counted on. If you don't eat better, where can you bear it? I also feel sorry for my father and mother, at such an old age, I still have to work in the field, and my body and bones can't stand it? Besides, now our family has this condition, that is, we can afford to eat meat for every meal! I didn't have to burn my body in order to save that little money, isn't that a loss? Seeing a doctor and taking medicine is much more expensive than meat! ”

Today she went down to the field to see, Mei Zhongzhong is more than fifty, and Mrs. Li is almost fifty, and she is still busy in the field against the sun.

To be honest, it was quite unpleasant to look at it, so I listened to Mrs. Li's disagreement, so I patiently persuaded her.

As soon as Mrs. Li heard that her daughter felt sorry for herself, the dissatisfaction with the idea disappeared, and then looked at the old girl, she seemed to have lost some weight in the past few days, but I was afraid that she was tired!

Go buy some meat and come back, and it's good to replenish your daughter's body! Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Li will not stop it.

"I know that my daughter is filial to me! Okay, my mother will suffer from my daughter's filial piety! You'll go early tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry about breakfast, you're tired these days, have a good rest! Will you drive a carriage? ”

That's a question to the point.

Mei Xiaotong was stunned, she wouldn't.

"Auntie, I'll accompany Yongzhu to the town tomorrow morning." An Huahao said busily.

Mei Changqing glared at An Huahao, and also hurriedly said, "Mother, I, I'll send my little sister to town!" "Hmph, this kind of good thing, why is it cheap for outsiders?

Mrs. Li slapped over, "Get out of the way for the old lady!" Why didn't you see you so active when you worked in the fields? If you dare to go to town, the old lady will break your legs first! Don't think about going anywhere this year, take back all the food for my mother

, where do you love to die! ”

Mei Changqing wilted.

"That's okay, Ming'er, Hua Hao, you will accompany Xiaotong." Mrs. Li made the final decision.

Then he ordered, "The old family, the old three, you can make tomorrow's breakfast!" Eat the pancakes, burn more, it won't be bad if you put it away, it's too late at noon, so you will gnaw on the pancakes to deal with it, and then eat the hot rice made by Xiaotong in the evening. ”

Everyone is fine.

Nothing to say for a night.

Early in the morning, the Mei family was lively in the scolding of Mrs. Li.

Mei Xiaotong brought the basket, Mrs. Li wrapped several pancakes and put them inside, An Huahao had already arrived, skillfully put the mule on the carriage, and drove out of the courtyard of the Mei family.

After a while, Mei Xiaotong went out, jumped into the car, and went to the town in the envious and eager eyes of several children.

Sun was a little absent-minded early in the morning, holding a piece of pancake and eating without a bite.

Mrs. Li was angry when she saw her like that, and scolded twice, and Sun hurriedly finished eating the cake, and followed the army to the field with low eyebrows.

On the way, while everyone was not paying attention, Sun took Mei Changqing's hand, "San Lang, I don't seem to be feeling well today." ”

Mei Changqing looked back, Sun was tanned now, and he didn't have time to dress up, and the scabs on his face scratched by the broom were black, hanging on his face one by one, where could he still see the beauty of the past?

Hearing Sun say that she was uncomfortable, Mei Changqing snorted coldly, in front of him, who pretended to be sick and pretended to be dead and crazy, and pretended to be crazy and disabled, and pretended to be all kinds of ancestors who wanted to avoid work, saying that he was uncomfortable and wanted to pretend to be sick and not work?

Stop dreaming!

In order not to work, he used to take cold showers, blow cool breezes, and drink raw water, and finally tossed himself sick, thinking that he could escape, but as a result, he was dragged to the ground from the kang by Mrs. Li.

In Mrs. Li's original words, as long as she doesn't die, climb to the ground for the old lady to climb to the ground and finish the matter before dying!

That's still her own mother, she is still her own son, she can be so ruthless.

Sun's little trick, hum......

Mei Changqing was also angry in his heart, he knew that the Sun family was guarding against himself, otherwise why didn't he take out all his belongings?

In addition, Sun's beauty is now tossed and gone, and he doesn't give money to spend it himself, so it's better for Xiaolian, she can't help it, and she can still pull out a few big bucks from her hand.

Mei Changqing has the heart to let the Sun family endure hardships, women, only after suffering can they know that in this world, only men can rely on them.

Therefore, I only came with a particularly impatient sentence of "endure even if you are uncomfortable!" I didn't miss an arm or a broken leg, what are you humming? The people of our Lao Mei family are not so squeamish. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Sun lowered his head and silently got off the ground.

Although there is only one person missing An Huahao today, Mrs. Li feels that today's progress is much slower, and it is not pleasing to anyone.

Especially to Sun, look

She grinds foreign work at the end, and she hates it so much.

"What are you grinding? Not hurry? By the time you're done, it's tomorrow morning! Mrs. Li yelled.

Sun was busy speeding up, and he didn't know how to start using too hard, and the snowy sickle cut his leg at once, and the blood immediately stained the trouser legs.

Sun was so frightened that as soon as he threw away the sickle in his hand, he hugged his leg and howled, "San Lang ~ San Lang, help me!" I cut my leg! ”

When Mei Changqing heard this, he was startled, every year someone cuts himself, if he is lucky, he can be good regardless of it.

If you were unlucky, you lost your life.

When I looked back, the blood had already soaked my trouser legs, and I immediately panicked, "Dad, mother, Ah Fu cut his legs!" Shed a lot of blood! ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, her heart jumped, and she suddenly felt unlucky!

Walking over angrily, I thought that Sun was just a small injury, but I didn't expect it to be really cut, if the blood didn't stop anymore, I was afraid that my life would be lost today.

Although she hates Sun, thinks she is a vixen, and frustrates her on weekdays, but she doesn't want Sun's life?

At the moment, I found some hemostatic medicine commonly used by the villagers on the ridge and threw it to Mei Changqing, "It's almost chewed, and it is pasted on the wound." ”

At the same time, he tore Sun's trouser leg again, and looked at the deep wound on the leg, and the blood was still flowing.

He tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and pierced it on top of the wound, so that the blood didn't flow so quickly.

Mei Changqing also endured the sourness in his mouth, chewed the herbs, spit them in the palm of his hand, and pasted them on the wound.

The blood flow slowed down, but the herbs weren't enough.

The others also rushed over when they heard the movement, everyone was familiar with this herb, and when they came over, they picked some of them and handed them to Mei Changqing.

After Mei Changqing chewed the herbs, he felt that the tongue on his cheeks was not his own, so he finally stopped the bleeding.

Mrs. Li put her mind at ease and said with a straight face, "Okay!" Really, what would you do, what's the use of anything other than hooking up with men? ”

Everyone saw that the bleeding stopped, and they all dispersed and continued to do things.

Mrs. Li saw that Sun's face turned white, and snorted coldly, "Count your fate, rest for a while, and pick up grain for the old lady in the afternoon!" Don't think you'll be able to eat rice if you're injured! After saying that, he turned around and left.
