The peanut field is a patch of sandy land not far from the base of the mountain. Before I arrived, I could smell a nice smell of fresh peanut pulp.

Looking at the endless peanut fields, Xia couldn't help but rejoice. Not only did these lands come into her hands, but even so many crops planted in the fields were hers.

The tenant farmers were busy in the fields, and many old people and children came to help, and everyone's faces were filled with the joy of a good harvest. When they saw that someone from the Lord's house had come, they got up and greeted them warmly.

Xia Ju and Zhao Niuniu are both children who have stayed in the countryside, and they will not go into the field to harm those good peanuts, but pick up peanuts that fall on the side of the road, and eat them for fun. A few young country children are also picking peanuts to eat, looking satisfied. Zhu Cai and Xiao Qi picked up peanuts, and they would not feed them into their mouths, but handed them over to Xia Ju and Zhao Niuniu. Zhao Niuniu played for a while, and would go to the field to help the tenant farmers pick peanuts, which was very skillful.

Xia Li and Jin Ling sat in the shade of the tree, asked Zhu Erhua to weigh fifty catties of peanuts and brought them, and returned the money. In the end, they have to collect rent, so that the tenant farmers will not suffer.

They ate peanuts and looked around at the landscape, sometimes asking the children to drink and wipe their sweat.

The mountains behind are continuous, and the fields in front are endless. The sky is high and the earth is far away, and rows and rows of geese sweep across the sky and fly south...... Even in ancient times, there was a huge difference between the world in the countryside and the city. Xia Li had to admit that no matter in her past life or present life, she preferred the countryside a little more.

Half a day passed quickly, and by noon, the tenant farmers were still busy, and their families came to the fields with baskets to deliver food.

Xia Li got up, beckoned a few children to come over, gave them water, wiped their sweat, and walked towards Zhuangzi together.

At noon, they walked back from the foot of the mountain, but they didn't feel how hot it was.

When I arrived in Zhuangzi, the gate was locked, and the Xia family and Zhu Er, who went to the town to buy ingredients, had not come back so late.

Xia Li was a little anxious and said, "Did my mother encounter something in the town?" With that, he was going to town.

Zhu Er stopped her and said, "Big girl, you go into the house to rest, I'll go to the town to have a look, I'm running fast." ”

When they entered the courtyard, they waited under the eaves with anxiety.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Zhu Er ran back sweating profusely. said, "Big girl, an acquaintance in the town saw my mother-in-law and Xia Niangzi, and said that Xia Niangzi met some relatives, and after holding her head and crying, she followed her to the relative's house." ”

Xia Li was extremely surprised and said, "Relatives? It won't be Wang's sister-in-law, how could they hug their heads and cry. Also, when you go to her house, you don't come back to talk to us first. ”

Zhu Er said again, "Oh, I heard that there is a camel among the relatives." ”

Xia Li was even more surprised, camel? In front of her eyes, the small figure of Peng Huozi flickered. His daughter-in-law is Sister-in-law Peng, think about Sister-in-law Peng's tough face, tall and tall, not like Xia's mother at all, but there is really a little bit of a portrait of Xia Zhu.

No, Sister-in-law Peng is Xia Meiniang, right...... But the third uncle once said that the second aunt was just in poor health and short in length, how could he be a camel? After Xia Meiniang married into the Peng family, what happened?

Xia Li was still reluctant to associate Peng Huozi with Xia Meiniang. Knowing that Xia was fine, he ate first and then said.

Xia Li and Jin Ling went to the kitchen, and there was no meat, so they made a pot of eggs and leeks and lo mein.

As soon as he finished eating, Wang Xin's nephew Wang Dahe came. He smiled, "My mother asked me to tell Aunt Xia that Grandma Xia met her second sister and went to their house. Shaking his head, he said, "I really didn't expect that Aunt Peng was actually the sister-in-law of the Xia family's grandmother." In this way, Peng Huozi ...... Oh no, Uncle Peng is my future second aunt's brother-in-law, and their family is still related to us......"

Because Xia Li is the cousin of Wang Xin's fiancée, she became the aunt of Wang Dahe's brothers, and Xia also became their grandmother.

Xia Li's mouth was open, even if he had a guess, he still couldn't react for a long time.

Seeing Wang Dahe away, the sister and brother went to bed to rest. Xia Li couldn't sleep, and two contrasting figures of Sister-in-law Peng and Peng Huozi alternately appeared in front of him.

After resting, Xia Li didn't have the heart to pick peanuts on the ground, and asked Zhu Er to take the four children there, and she waited for Xia in the Zhuangzi.

Xia didn't wait to come back, but waited for Dangdang, Xiongxiang, and Heizi first. Xia Li left Wang Xin behind and asked about Peng Huozi's family.

Wang Xin heard that Sister-in-law Peng was Xia's younger sister, and his jaw dropped in shock. He talked about what happened after the Peng family came to Sanjian Village.

The year before last, when Lord Ye asked people to build a training camp for Rong dogs, it happened that the Peng family came to the village. They came begging, and when they saw that there was work to do, Sister-in-law Peng went to the training camp to sign up.

The barracks were reluctant to ask women to work, but when they saw that Sister-in-law Peng was tall and sharp, they asked her to cook for those who worked with the other two women. She didn't want to, she wanted to do the work of leveling the playground and building a house, and that kind of work paid more. Ye Jin happened to be sent here by Ye Feng to supervise the work together with General Sha, who was the general manager, so he agreed.

Because of Peng's sister-in-law's income, their family stayed in Sanjian Village. There happened to be two abandoned half-collapsed grass houses on the hillside outside the village, and the family lived there after repairing them.

When he was in good health, he would go to the village craftsman's house to buy some bamboo sticks at a low price, and weave some fans, bamboo baskets and other things to sell in the town to make a difference.

Most of the villagers are simple, and they were good to their family before. Some families have given them rags that they don't want, and Sister-in-law Peng put a few pieces together to make a dress. Some families give them unwanted vegetable leaves, and some even ask Peng's sister-in-law to work part-time......

The villagers collectively ostracized them mainly because of the fact that the training ground was built and the people who needed to make things for the dogs. At that time, the barracks shouted that they would pay a penny for two collars (dog chains). Many women in the village wanted to take on this job, not only because it was a long-term job, but if there were other jobs in the dog training camp, they would have known about it and would have done it sooner.

Sister-in-law Peng, who didn't have any input, wanted that life even more. Her strength was great, but in terms of dexterity, she could not compare with other women, so she lowered her wages and said to General Sha, "I will make four collars for a penny." ”

Sister-in-law Peng's offer was too low, and other women were not willing to do it, so General Sha gave the job to Sister-in-law Peng.

General Sha went into the city to report to Ye Feng, Ye Feng felt that there was no need to save that little money, that woman must have done it out of necessity because of life, and she still gave as much salary as she had said before.

Later, the villagers learned that Sister-in-law Peng not only got the job, but also had no money, and many people were unhappy. felt that she had a lot of eyes, a fierce heart, and no feelings, so she squeezed them away positively......
