Thinking of this, Mu Sheng's face was always worried, although he knew that Liu Qimei would not care, but he was afraid that Liu Qimei would say some crooked melons and cracked dates to her son in order to save money.

Little Uncle Mugen, who is almost forty years old, has a sad face that has succumbed to the hardships of life, and when he was young, he was also a delicate man, but now his face is sunburned by the poisonous sun, and he looks very old.

The poorer the people, the more calculating, and the more calculating, the poorer they become, which is vividly expressed in the Mu family.

None of the family seemed to have a relaxed face, all of them were suffering and mean, how could life be better.

After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the field of the production team to which the Mu family belonged, at that time, the rural contract responsibility system had not yet begun, and Yingwu Village was divided into 12 production teams, each production team had twenty or thirty households, about 50 people, and there were only about 30 people who could work in the field every day if they were unwell or had something to do.

In this way, it doesn't matter if the usual production tasks are put aside, but when it comes to the busy farming season, each production team will have a shortage of manpower.

Like a few men in the Mu family, they can generally earn ten points every day, and those daughters-in-law are also 8 points, and the younger children like Mu Xiu are also five to six points a day.

In fact, after calculation, the life of the Mu family in the village is quite good, if it is replaced by a sensible old man, this life must be much stronger than now.

Mu Xiu straightened up and exhaled deeply, she felt that she was about to collapse.

In her previous life, Mu Xiu was an orphan, and she had no land to plant, and at that time, there were simple harvesting machinery in the village, so Mu Xiu was doing some light work.

Now for Mu Xiu, this wheat harvest is simply too difficult, this small body is too weak, doing this kind of physical work, it is simply fatal, and in the end, Mu Xiu's speed is getting slower and slower, Mu Xiu's old man looked at Mu Xiu's pale face, and after saying a few words, let Mu Xiu follow behind to pick up the lost rice.

But even so, after working for several hours in a row, Mu Xiu was already tired and out of breath, coupled with the constant bending over, the whole person's waist was about to break.

Zhou Shuilian is not much better, she has just given birth to a child and has insufficient qi and blood, and she has been fed Xiaohua twice in the middle, she has been supporting her body, and she has been holding her body strongly, and when she looked up several times, she saw Mu Xiu's face pale, and Zhou Shuilian couldn't help it no matter how distressed she was.

Old man Mu is silent on weekdays, and under the strength of Liu Qimei, he is like a transparent person who does not exist, at this time he glanced at the hard-working second son's family, and couldn't help sighing.

"Dad, there's no water." Wang Guiying said to Old Man Mu.

Old man Mu looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and he only heard him shout: "Xiu, you go to the well to get some water and come back." ”

"Hongxia, you go home and get food."

Hearing Old Man Mu's arrangement, Wang Guiying suddenly showed a dissatisfied look on his face.

Everyone knows that there is a well near here, and you need to queue up to fetch water, and there is a big tree next to the well, which is very cool under the shade, so you can take the opportunity to rest for a while while waiting for water.

Zhou Shuilian was happy, and Mu Xiu could go to rest.

"Dad, Mu Xiu is too short, this well here is not the same as the well at the door of the house, what should Mu Xiu do if she falls, besides, with her small body, how much water can she carry back, let Hongxia go." Wang Guiying's eyes rolled, and she immediately said with a smile.

Old man Mu glanced at the thin Mu Xiu, and then at Mu Hongxia, who was half a head taller than Mu Xiu and had a sturdy body all over his body, and knew that what Wang Guiying said was also reasonable, the well was indeed much higher than the well at the door of the house.

Although Old Man Mu was a little reluctant in his heart, it would not be good if Mu Xiu really fell into the well, so he could only wave his hand, "Xiu go back and get rice, and Hongxia will fetch water." ”

From the field of work to the Mu family, it is not far away, it is not close, it is about half an hour's journey, and it takes an hour to walk back and forth, and it is also very heavy to carry the food of so many people.

"Dad, I'll go get it." Zhou Shuilian raised her head and said hurriedly.

"You can harvest more wheat, show you how much rice she has only harvested this morning, what can she do?" Wang Guiying pursed her lips. "Mother, it's okay, I'll go back." Mu Xiu wiped a handful of sweat, walked up to the ridge, and went back to get everyone's lunch.

Wang Guiying looked at Zhou Shuilian with a smug look on her face, and beckoned her daughter to go to fetch water.

"Well, it would be nice if I could take out the space harvester and use it now." As an agricultural college student, Mu Xiu watched everyone work for so long and was tired and messed up before harvesting less than one-tenth of the rice, and she missed the modern machine very much at this time.

Mu Xiu was thinking about the knowledge he had learned along the way, how to make simple auxiliary tools to improve efficiency, so he walked and thought, and soon arrived at home, at that time, there were few people, so the yard of every household was not small, the Mu family had a large population, and the yard was also large in the whole village.

Although Mu Xiu has been here for more than a month, she has only stayed in this so-called home for 3 nights, and if it weren't for the memory of the original owner, she probably wouldn't even be able to find the toilet.

Mu Xiu came directly to the kitchen, Mu Zhi was putting the steamed corn and sweet potato steamed buns into the basket, the steamed buns were hungry, and it was convenient.

"Go, get some water, I'll be ready soon." Mu Zhi turned his head and saw that it was Mu Xiu who came back, so he casually pointed to the bucket beside him.

Mu Xiu looked at Mu Zhi with some curiosity, in the memory of the original owner, the relationship between Mu Zhi and Mu Shui was not very good, and Mu Zhi was also indifferent to everyone in the family, but in the end, Xiaohua was sick, but Mu Zhi took out so much money to Mu Shui, which was simply full of curiosity.

Mu Xiu picked up the wooden barrel and went to the well outside the courtyard to fetch water, the main house of the Mu family sat in the north and faced south, and the six houses surrounded the city in a zigzag shape, and the gate was on the south side.

The main house is where Liu Qimei and the old man Mu live, and there is an ear room in it, which is where Liu Qimei puts food, and if you want to go there, you must pass through the bedroom of the two.

The room next to the main house is the room of the sister-in-law Lanzhi, which can be said to be the room with the best light except for Liu Yumei's room, Liu Yumei has long been optimistic about this house, waiting for Lanzhi to marry out quickly and vacate it for her son Mu Zhijun, but helplessly, this sister-in-law has not married yet.

There are two rooms in the east, one is where Mu Sheng and his wife live, and the other is where Mu Zhijun and Mu Aijun live, and now Mu Zhijun is not at home, so Mu Aijun lives alone, and his daughter Mu Hongqiao has married out.
