Chapter Seventy-Six: Something Went Wrong
Because of the bumper harvest, even if everyone is exhausted, they are still in high spirits, as if they have endless energy.
If it weren't for their physical requirement, they would all be eager to never stop from morning to night, harvest the wheat completely, go home, beat the wheat and husk, dry it, grind the flour, and do it all in one step.
Feng Huaying was not far behind, sweating like rain under the scorching sun, looking at the bundles of wheat one after another, the light in her eyes never went out.
Ji Weiguo came the day after harvesting the wheat, "My eldest brother can't come back at work, so I will help instead of him." ”
"No, there's no need for you to come over for this little thing, we have a lot of family, and we're busy." Mother Feng said this, but she was very happy in her heart, which showed that the Ji family attached great importance to her daughter.
"That's it, Chunxi's family also has to be harvested, you come to our house, what should she do, be careful that your father-in-law will give you small shoes to wear when the time comes." Feng Huaying wiped the sweat on her face arrogantly while making fun of Ji Weiguo.
Being teased by so many unfamiliar people, Ji Weiguo, who was still young, touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "It's okay, I went there yesterday and told my uncle, he knows it and won't be angry." ”
Ji Weiguo worked in Feng's field for a day, but fortunately, they had many families and worked very neatly, and they were all harvested in two days.
Feng's father, Feng Huazu, Feng Huajian and Feng Huaying took turns pulling the heavy roller shaft to crush the golden ears of wheat, and the straw was picked out with an iron fork.
Feng Huaying held a dog's tail grass and looked at the wheat in her wheat field, and turned to Feng Huarong, the younger brother who came to take over, and said, "Okay, you can watch here." ”
"Second sister, you let the eldest brother come over early after eating in a while." Feng Huarong looked at Feng Huaying pitifully.
Because of the hunger and fear in the past few years, the people in the village are very precious to every grain of wheat, and they don't want to lose a single grain, so from morning to night, every household has someone watching the wheat field to prevent birds from stealing food, and rats and the like.
The thought that the food they had worked so hard to grow would be eaten by all kinds of birds and rats made their hearts ache.
But near noon, he couldn't go home here, and he was exposed to the sun here when others were eating at home, which was a bit abusive for Feng Huarong, and he was so miserable.
"Got it, let the eldest brother come over as soon as he finishes eating." Feng Huaying was amused, shook her head and left without looking back.
She didn't go home immediately, but went to Nanhe first.
At this time, there are a lot of people in the river, washing clothes, playing in the water, in short, a lot.
There were a lot of men among them, Feng Huaying didn't go to those people's places in order to avoid suspicion, and found a place to go into the water far away from them.
The Nanhe River is big enough, even if they can still see those people, but they can't see the curvy image of their clothes after entering the water.
I swam around the river and cooled down from the hot skin of the sun.
The water of the Nanhe River is neither deep nor shallow, more than one meter deep, and the wide water surface is like a big swimming pool, Feng Huaying swims beautifully.
Lying on her back, gently kicking her feet, she swam out like a fish.
Suddenly, her arm was hit by something, and the slippery touch made Feng Huaying reflexively pinch the thing, and before her foot touched the bottom of the river, she was slapped in the face by the river, and the strength of the thing in her hand was not small, and she almost let it run away by accident.
Feng Huaying stood firm and wiped her face when she saw the red carp in her hand, and immediately smiled: "Hey, I sent it to the door, and I stewed you at noon." ”
The carp is not small, at least two catties, bright scales, strong strength, good at first glance.
I dug up some river clams and wrapped Feng Huaying in taro leaves before going home.
Coming out of the river, her clothes clinged to her body, but fortunately there was no one around, the weather was good, the sun was bright, and before she had gone far, her clothes were dry.
"Yo, Huaying, where did you get this carp, it's so beautiful." Mother Feng was just about to make lunch when she saw her daughter come back, carrying a carp that was still alive.
"Will you make braised fish at noon?" The braised fish is quite waste oil, and it is rarely cooked, and Feng Huaying is a little greedy.
But I don't want Feng's mother to stop doing it: "You know what to eat when you eat." ”
Mother Feng snatched the carp in Feng Huaying's hand, gave it the grass to wear on the gills, put it in a basin, and poured a bucket of well water into it.
The dying red carp suddenly came to life, and Feng Huaying couldn't help but feel that the vitality was really strong.
"No, it's just a carp, we haven't seen it much here, but it doesn't mean anything, not to mention that there are other places, but we didn't find it, what's the big deal if you eat it, it's all fish anyway."
"What do you know, this color of carp is too rare, I've seen it twice when I've grown so big, and it's not as big as this, people say that this thing is a good omen, so what, yes, it's the carp jumping over the dragon gate, it seems to be this kind of carp, you eat it, what should we do when it holds a grudge?"
"You are a feudal superstition, and you are a carp jumping over the dragon gate." Feng Huaying was speechless, but she didn't continue to fight for this.
"What do your children know, that's what the old people say."
Okay, the taste of the clams is also good, although it is not seafood, but it also has a unique flavor.
"By the way, what about my second brother, what are you doing?" Feng Huaying looked around and saw her father and her eldest brother smoking and chatting there, and the sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were choosing vegetables, but suddenly found that her carriage was not there, could it be that she went out again?
There's not much left in the field, or hasn't he come back yet?
Sure enough, when her second sister-in-law came out to wash the vegetables, she replied casually: "I don't know, he hasn't come back yet." ”
"Haven't come back yet? How could it be, he went to the county seat today for something? "Otherwise, why don't you go home at this time, I used to get home at about nine or ten o'clock.
"I don't know, he didn't say it, maybe something delayed." Li Xiaohua wasn't worried.
Recently, everything has been going well at home, and she hasn't thought about what will happen.
Feng Huaying thought about it, but nothing happened, so she went to make furniture.
Before Li Bo said that Li Dongyang introduced her to a few customers in the city, because she couldn't take care of the farming, and the people were also reasonable, and she didn't urge too much, but now she has to be careful, otherwise people still think she is not happy, and Li Dongyang will be difficult to do when the time comes.
But he didn't want Feng Huajian to really have an accident.
"Director, what's going on, why don't you want it, these dishes are fine." Feng Huajian was anxiously waiting outside the office door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and as soon as he saw the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, who finally appeared, he immediately went over.
He came early this morning to deliver food, but he was told that he didn't take it.
If you don't accept it, how can this work?
Feng Huajian wanted an explanation to change the result, but none of those people could say clearly, or they couldn't manage it, he wanted to ask the director what was going on, but when he arrived at the office, he was told that the person was not there.
I saw him not long ago, "The director has just come, I saw it with my own eyes." ”
It's just that he moved a little slower, so he didn't stop people.
But the person who didn't want to stop him opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Yes, but the director just left again, and I don't have time to see you, so you should leave quickly." ”
The little staff had little patience, and Feng Huajian's heart was even more anxious.
Is he avoiding him? Why?
It was fine before.
The anxious Feng Huajian calmed down, and after being kicked out, he sat at the door of the office of the supply and marketing cooperative, and he would not leave without asking.
Something went wrong, and all of a sudden someone replaced it.
Did the guy who took his supply do it? Is there someone behind him?
But the news I heard seemed that this person had no background, and even the vegetables served this morning were not much, as if they were prepared in a hurry, so what is going on?
No one could answer him, so he blocked the director's door, trying to know why.
Sure enough, he was made to wait, and the director was avoiding him.
