Chapter 518: Helping to Pick Watermelons
Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui also looked at these people who came to help, there were people who had quarreled with their own families, those who relied on their own chickens, and those who had burned their own houses, these people ...... Why are they all here......
Originally, Mu Xiu found Chen Xiangyang and said that he was going to pay for the work, and then he came to hire someone to pick watermelons, but Chen Xiangyang refused, on the grounds that they were all villagers, and Mu Xiu also helped the villagers do so many things.
Now the Mu Xiu family needs help, if these people don't come to help, it really has no conscience.
Mu Xiu was disappointed by the people in the village these few times, but she still followed Chen Xiangyang's advice, Mu Xiu calculated in her heart, feeling that no one should come, anyway, she was disappointed so many times, and she didn't care about this time.
However, she also told Chen Xiangyang that if no one comes, then she must say that this is paid labor, not free, otherwise she will lose a lot if things are delayed.
Chen Xiangyang nodded in agreement.
"Mu Xiu, how do you say to pick this watermelon, let's help you pick it together." Chen Xiangyang looked at the villagers who rushed over, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground, so he said, well, the people in the village will still remember the good of the Mu family, no, there are still people with a conscience.
"That's right, you tell everyone how to get it, let's listen carefully." Someone else spoke.
Mu Xiu held back the surprise in her heart, she looked at these people who came, and then began to talk about how to pick these watermelons, how to choose seven or eight ripe ones, and pick them together with the melon vines......
When Mu Xiu finished speaking, these people all went down to the ground and began to pick them up in full swing.
At the beginning, when everyone was picking, Mu Xiu walked in the melon field, guiding two sentences from time to time, and later, seeing everyone picking more and more proficiently, Mu Xiu stopped, she told Mu Shui a few words, Mu Shui nodded, and went home first.
Mu Xiu called Zhou Shuilian again, picked out dozens of ripe melons together, cut the melons, and beckoned everyone to come and eat watermelons when they were resting.
In this way, by the time the evening came, the melons were almost picked.
"Okay, I'll get here today, and I won't be able to see it any later." Chen Xiangyang got up and looked at the sky, and beckoned everyone to stop.
"I have worked hard for everyone today, and the people who came to help today have ten yuan in wages each." Mu Xiu said to everyone.
It's just that the imaginary scene of everyone crowding to get the money did not appear, but it was quiet.
Everyone, you look at me, and after I look at you, Zhao Junlan took the lead and said, "We don't need money."
"I don't want money either." Da Zhuang then said.
"No, what kind of money does this cost?"
"Isn't that why you didn't ask for money when you helped us?"
"Real money, I won't come."
Everyone refused one after another, but Mu Xiu froze.
Since she came here, the people in this village seem to have become more ruthless and unjust, scheming everywhere, thinking about taking advantage of them everywhere, no matter what their family has done for everyone, it seems to be a matter of course.
So Mu Xiu gradually cooled down, feeling that it was useless to be good to these people, and some techniques that could make everyone's life better, Mu Xiu didn't think about telling everyone.
Treating these people, Mu Xiu feels that it is not worth it, and there is no reason for people to look at her family unpleasantly, she is still in a hurry to teach others how to make a fortune, these people don't know what to do, why should they help them!
Sometimes, I am not afraid of losing when I do things, but I am afraid that I will be treated as a fool if I suffer a loss.
If it weren't for Mu Shui and Zhou Shuilian's reluctance to go to the city to live, Mu Xiu would really like to take his family to the city to live, and the farther away from here, the better.
But...... Today these people ...... Why did she suddenly warm her heart slightly......
"You've all worked hard for so long, so why don't you go to our house for dinner?" Mu Xiu took a deep breath and said again.
"If you don't go, if you don't go, you're all tired, when will you be busy cleaning up so many people's food, let's go home and eat by ourselves."
"Yes, my mother-in-law must have left me food."
In the face of the villagers who suddenly became reasonable, Mu Xiu really felt all kinds of feelings in his heart.
"You don't want money, and you don't go to my house to eat, then these watermelons are ready-made, so one person can bring a few watermelons back to quench your thirst." Mu Xiaoshu said at this time.
"I'm going to ask everyone to help load watermelons into the car tomorrow morning, if you refuse even this, then we won't have the face to ask you for help again." Mu Xiu saw that everyone didn't speak, and she pretended to be embarrassed and said.
"Okay, then I'm welcome, your melon is sweet, it's delicious, go back, my family will grow some and eat it myself next year." A villager was the first to pick up a melon.
"Do you have someone who is capable of showing this? It's okay for you to grow pumpkins, but this watermelon, I think it's okay. ”
"Hahaha......"
"My daughter is very happy to see this watermelon."
"Mu Xiu, what time will you come over tomorrow morning?" Chen Xiangyang looked at everyone's lively appearance, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's half past six, and I don't know if you can get up." Mu Xiu said after thinking about it.
"Rise up, get up."
"Don't worry, it'll be tomorrow."
"Chen Zhishu, I don't have a clock at home, I can't see the time, when you come over, go to my house and knock on the door."
"Done."
The villagers hugged the watermelons and left after saying goodbye one by one.
"Zhao Junlan, you wait." Zhou Shuilian suddenly called out to Zhao Junlan, mother and son, who were about to leave.
Zhao Junlan turned around and looked at Zhou Shuilian with some confusion.
"Why don't you take the watermelon?" Zhou Shuilian asked, only to see that the three of them were really empty-handed and didn't take anything.
"I don't like watermelon." Zhao Junlan replied.
"Don't think you're like this, I'll forgive you." Zhou Shuilian looked at Zhao Junlan's appearance, and a fire broke out in her heart.
"I don't expect you to forgive us, this is what we owe to your family, and we are here to pay off the debt!" After Zhao Junlan finished speaking in a low voice, she pulled Chen Huan and Chen Qing to turn around and leave.
Zhou Shuilian looked at the backs of the three of them, but suddenly sighed.
"What did you do in the early years, if you had this kind of consciousness in the early years, how could this family die and scatter, and the mother and son both went to squat in the cell."
"Mother, therefore, people still have to study more and get more education, so that they can be reasonable, they can become like this, it is not the good education of the country, if they don't go there, maybe they are still a family of fools now, and they will cause greater rights and wrongs in the future." Mu Xiu also had some feelings.
In the final analysis, it was because Mu Xiu heard the conversation between Zhao Junlan's mother and son at that time and felt Zhao Junlan's remorse, so he left them a way to live.
