Chapter 103: The Grain Arrears Recovered

"Okay, but I only need to be middle-class, like my third aunt's family, I definitely won't want it." Du Mei had to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, but his tone was unwilling.

"Plums." Xu quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes. She just wants to live a peaceful and stable life with her children, and she doesn't want to make enemies.

"Don't worry, it's a tax, if you want it, I don't dare to give it to you!" Xian Cheng said a little angrily.

"You go and bring the grain and exchange it with her." Shen Zhanghua urged.

The county should go down immediately.

Du Huaibing accompanied Shen Zhanghua to look at the screen that Xu and Du Mei were embroidering, and Shen Zhanghua looked at the red cloak girl hanging on the wall twice.

When the villagers heard about the grain exchange, they felt very rare, and they had never seen the official family suffer a loss and the people exchanged grain for decades, so they all gathered at the door of Du Mei's house to watch the excitement.

"Hey, you said that this plum, I don't know what it is at a young age, the ducks are well raised, and the wheat is also well planted." A woman sighed and praised.

"That's the good fortune of a good family and a good family. In the past ten years, Erjin and Xu's have quarreled with whom in the village? Just now, the eldest girl of the Huang family was crying for not being able to pay back the food, but now I heard that Du Mei directly didn't want her to pay it back, look at the bodhisattva's heart. An older woman said.

"Then I beg Du Mei to go." The second stunned man listened to half of the words and continued.

"Look at your little bit of talent, are you embarrassed to be poorer than the Huang family?" A woman scoffed.

"You care about me!" The second stunned man turned around and left.

In the courtyard, the officials were busy again, and finally carried the five stone wheat of Du Mei's family into the carriage.

"Gotta get it." The sound of horses' hooves faded away.

The busy day is over, and in the mist, the smoke of Dujiagou is everywhere, and the fragrance of new wheat wafts from every house. Noodles, noodles, steamed buns, exquisite, as well as dumplings stuffed with leeks, steamed buns stuffed with cowpeas. Those who have no food are anxious to fill their stomachs that have been tightened for months, and those who have surplus food also taste the newly harvested gifts of God in the fields.

The families who borrowed the rice from Du Mei's family began to repay the grain one after another. After all, living in a village, it is not good to be too disrespectful, so Du Mei is not worried about returning a lot less wheat.

And those who have not yet received food will have all kinds of strange things. Huang Daya said that the helper is the most reliable one. And some people push the spring grain to the autumn grain, you must know that the seedlings in the field have not been planted yet, and it is a boundless matter to return the autumn grain.

There are also some deflated beans and sesame seeds, and the most bizarre thing is Aunt Zhang, who actually returned the 50 cotton seedlings that were bred as food. Du Mei didn't intend to embarrass her neighbors who were having a bad time these days, as long as she brought something, no matter how expensive or low, she would return the notes to others.

In this way, early this morning, Du Mei had fewer and fewer notes in his hand, but the small courtyard became a grocery store. Deflated beans and sesame seeds are better, anyway, the ducks at home have to be fed. Only these fresh cotton seedlings and all kinds of bean seedlings and vegetable seedlings are not planted in the ground in a hurry, but they will all be lost. She looked at these and frowned helplessly.

The second stunned man had already come, he was not in the corner, and waited for those happy women to leave with the notes as they wished, before they dared to sneak in.

"Hey, plum." The second stunned man smiled flatteringly.

"You're here to pay back the food, too?" Seeing that he was empty-handed, Du Mei deliberately sneered at him.

"Yes, yes, I don't look at this... Sisters-in-law and aunts... Come and pay it back..., I'll come too..."The second stunned man couldn't hold back his face, and bumped into a sentence.

"What are you going to pay?" Du Mei raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's not, let's be so close to each other, we can't write two Du characters in one stroke, you can get rid of Huang Daya, and you can also get rid of me." The second stunned man rubbed his hands and said with a face.

"Phew, you're embarrassed to compare with her! How difficult it is in her house, you are blind and can't see. Du Mei was so angry that she almost spit on the face of the second stunned man.

"I can't say that, I'm not having a good time." The second stunned was scolded by Du Mei, his voice lowered, and he rubbed his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes, and the patches of his clothes were stacked on top of each other, and he couldn't see the original color.

"It's not like you're lazy!" Du Mei said hatefully.

"Anyway, I don't have it, I don't know if I can eat the wheat this season and harvest the rice." The second stunned man's shoes were torn, and the big thumb went straight out, and he shrunk his toes so as not to make the hole bigger.

"That's it, you're just like Huang Daya." Du Mei looked at him cowardly, and he was funny and angry.

"Really, you don't want my wheat. Ah, plum, your heart is better than that of a bodhisattva. The second stunned man was full of joy, only one foot high.

"I don't want you to return the wheat, but Huang Daya promised the helper to return the grain, and you can also help pay it back." Du Mei raised his eyebrows and said slyly.

"Ah, how did I hear that...... I heard that ......" The brilliance that just burst out in the eyes of the two stunned people was like two kicks, and after two lit up, it was gone.

"What have you heard?" Du Mei asked knowingly.

"And what do you tell me to do? I can say okay, my leg is not good, I was bitten by your black girl, and it hurts when I get out of the water. The second stunned man pretended to be in unbearable pain.

"Don't worry, if you want to plant seedlings, I won't let you, look at your family's seedlings in previous years, the one that was planted is called a thin." Du Mei's disdain gave him a reassurance.

"Why don't I put ducks on you?" The second stunned man has long coveted Du Mei's duck, although the duck meat is not delicious, it is still meat.

"Don't think about bad ideas, you just have to do two things. The first is to plant these cotton seedlings in the field at the mouth of the fish, and Uncle Zhong has already leveled them. Second, it is to plant these bean seedlings and vegetable seedlings into the vegetable field. Du Mei stretched out two fingers and pointed to the seedlings on the ground.

"Shhh This ......" The second stunned man took a breath, where could he play Du Mei with his head.

"If you're tired of it, then it's better to return the wheat. Don't say it in the future, I didn't give you a chance! "Du Mei put on a posture that you don't want to do it, and there are a lot of people rushing to do it.

"I'll do it, I can't do it, auntie!" The second stunned man finally knew that he wanted to fight with Du Mei, and the difference was not half a point.

"These are all to pay my debts, and if there is one less tree, your wheat will not be spared!" Du Mei snuffed out the last thoughts of the two stunned people.

"Got it." The second stunned man had a bitter face, and reluctantly put the seedlings into the basket.

"I counted all the trees, and every three days, I counted them, and I counted them." Du Mei said to the back of the stunned man. Seeing that he was leaving in a hurry and didn't dare to turn back and talk back, Du Mei covered his mouth and laughed.

"Meizi, if you make fun of him like this, will he retaliate?" Xu said a little worriedly.

"He dares! The brunette had been scared of him for a long time. Du Mei looked confident.

"Oh, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." Although Xu hated Mrs. Cao for telling right and wrong, if she really asked her to beat someone to death with a backhand, she would not be able to do it anyway.

"Let's cook more food in the evening, give

He took his family to eat at all, and he was gluttonous, and he was afraid that he would have to see the sky to help in the future! Du Mei knows the truth of beating a stick to give a sweet date.

Besides, since people come to help, there is no reason not to provide food, and the situation at her home is special, and it is inconvenient to keep guests, so she can only take them away. Although she didn't want to see Mrs. Cao in her heart, she couldn't.

Sure enough, as Du Mei expected, these two stunned people were hungry for a bowl of vegetables, and they came to serve the seedlings in the field every day, and every one of them really lived.

There were 50 cotton trees planted in that acre of field, and only one-third of the land was planted. This field is close to the duck shed, and the duck manure can be directly onto the cotton in summer. The cotton wool at home is still when my father and mother got married, yellow and old, and stuck. Du Mei thought about planting the cotton well, playing a few new quilts in the winter, and then re-waddling the cotton clothes of his sisters, so that the family could spend the winter warmly.

Dumay planted the remaining seven points of land with soybeans. She has to use more than two catties of bean sprouts in the soup every day, and one catty of soybeans to make four catties of bean sprouts. A good harvest will be enough for her for a year.

Du Mei's vegetable field is next to Fang's family, and there are two leeks in the field. Fang's gratitude to Xu for helping her a lot in embroidery, knowing that she had separated her family in the first year, and there must be no seeds, so she lost a few more grains when raising seedlings. When the seedlings emerge, pick up the sturdy ones and help plant them.

At this time, it is the time when the tender cucumber with thorny top flowers, the green bean blossoms are in full bloom, and the water spinach is working hard to pull out the joints. The seedlings given by the neighbors are just enough to be followed by the second crop, and they are not afraid of taking off vegetables in the summer.

At the same time, Du Zhong planted five acres of seedlings in Du Shicheng, and also leveled the four acres of Du Mei's field, and after irrigating water overnight, he was ready to plant seedlings.

Since Du Zhong quarreled with Xie on the threshing floor last time, he ignored the three golds and kept them repeatedly, settled his salary, and said that he would not do anything.

But this Xie family is really powerful, after a day or two, I don't know where, I found a young and strong man, who looked only in his twenties, actually lived in her house and started a long job.

As soon as the day dawned, the Dumei sisters got up early to pull the rice seedlings, and the four of them sat in a row, pulling out with their left hand and holding their right hand, and when they couldn't catch it, they used a straw to wrap around and plug it from the middle, and they didn't forget to wet the roots in the water, and finally threw them into the basket.

The sun was rising, and before it was five o'clock in the morning, it was already steaming. Sister Du Mei saw that the rice seedlings were almost enough for today's use, and got up to pick them up and go to the field. Unexpectedly, at this time, Xie came with her long-term worker.

"It's this seedling, you just pull it." Xie pointed with a hand.

"Whoa." The long-term worker didn't say much, took off his shoes, and came down.

"There's still my family." Du Mei saw that the man was big and quick, pulling seedlings like weeds, and the rows of seedlings were quickly tied together. Throw it in a heap, and the sewage splatters everywhere.

"Heh, this little rice is not enough for my family." In the process of delivering the grain, Xie found that if he ignored the grain in the field, he was afraid that he would starve in the future. That's why she's very interested in rice planting now.

"This seedling will have to branch in the future, and it is useless to plant too much." Since Du Mei was sensible, he had never seen Xie do farm work, so he couldn't help but kindly remind her.

"Don't lie to me with clever words, Ma Rong knows better than you!" Xie folded his arms and sneered.

Du Mei saw that it didn't make sense, and he couldn't see Ma Rong pulling out all the seedlings, so he went back to the seedling field to grab them, and the three small ones also came down after seeing them. 2k reading web
