Chapter Thirty-Eight: Still Sleeping

Ouyang was also on the side to help, it was almost eleven o'clock.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to the store, the water pump is about two hours"

"Aren't you eating at home?"

"Meng Meng can walk, can run around, Li Qing can't be there alone, I'll go to the street."

"Then you bring some greens from the garden."

"Good"

Jiang Cui picked a handful of greens from the vegetable garden, plucked a few edamame pods on the ridge, and asked Ouyang to bring them.

Ouyang saw that there was nothing wrong, and rode his bicycle back to the store.

The rice in the field is ripe, and the full ears of rice are bowed with their heads bowed, which is very pleasant, and the eyes are full of golden yellow one by one.

Ouyang said to Li Qing

"I guess I'm going home to harvest rice this week."

"Really fast"

Li Qing suddenly suppressed his heart when he thought that he was going back soon.

The in-laws chose themselves, and no matter how hard and tired they are, they can only endure it.

After lunch, Li Qing went outside with Mengmeng in his arms.

Ouyang Lei went to the street to repair farm tools and sat in the store for a while.

"Ouyang, you are ready to go home, your mother said, tomorrow to harvest rice."

After doing it for about ten minutes, Ouyang Lei rode his bicycle home.

Li Qing came back to the store with Meng Meng in his arms,

Ouyang said to Li Qing

"Li Qing, am I right? Grandpa Meng Meng came to the street just now, saying that tomorrow the family will cut rice, let's close the stall early today, and go home for dinner. ”

"Oh, and I'm going to go upstairs and bring a change of clothes."

At four o'clock, Ouyang received the clothes placed on the balcony to the store, and the roller shutter was pulled down and locked.

Then he rode a bicycle and took Li Qing and Mengmeng to the company's residence.

Li Qing packed up a few changes of clothes and daily necessities, went downstairs, and took Mengmeng on a bicycle and walked home.

Li Qing suddenly remembered that the door lock of the east house had been broken a long time ago, and the door could only be concealed and could not be locked.

"Ouyang, has the lock of our door been repaired?"

"No, anyway, we'll stay at home for a few days, it doesn't matter if we fix it or not"

"Living with my in-laws, the door doesn't even have a lock, and it's not convenient to change clothes, what does it mean to be indifferent? You're a man, of course it doesn't matter."

Li Qing found that his voice was a little high, he didn't want to say any more, he didn't want to quarrel in front of Meng Meng, Ouyang replied casually

"Then I'll take the time to buy a lock."

When she got home, Jiang Cui was sharpening her sickle on the balcony.

Li Qing got off the bicycle and hugged Mengmeng to play next door, and the daughter-in-law next door was sitting on the balcony and plucked beans and said

"You're back tonight, oh, your family will harvest rice tomorrow, right?"

Smiled and looked at Meng Meng

"Yo, can Meng Meng walk? I couldn't walk when I planted the seedlings."

"It's been more than a week, sister-in-law,

When will your rice be harvested?"

"My family will be two days late, waiting for the rice fields to dry up"

"Oh"

'Your mother-in-law wants to save face, and she has to be ahead of others in everything, in fact, your rice can be raised for two days and harvested. ”

"I have to cut early and late, I don't know much about these farming things"

"Do you know about the last time you let out water and fight? Zhuangzi said at the beginning that the lotteries will come in order,

In the end, your mother-in-law had to quarrel and inserted it in front of my father-in-law to release water. Rolling at the gates, mud, uh..."

The daughter-in-law next door looked sideways, Jiang Cui stood at the gate, glanced at Li Qing, immediately closed her mouth, and glanced at Li Qing.

"Grandma Meng is at the door, hehe"

At this time, Ouyang warmed up the leftover food at noon and came over to say

"Li Qing, go home for dinner,"

The daughter-in-law next door said

"It's only a few o'clock, it's time for dinner."

"Eat early, there are mosquitoes when it's late"

Li Qing picked up Meng Meng, and as soon as he entered the door, Jiang Cui held the sickle in his hand, and squinted at Li Qing and howled fiercely,

"You're just staying at someone's house, don't come back for dinner, and shout? I'm afraid she won't eat it! ”

Ouyang said with a smile

"Mom, what are you doing, I'm scared Mengmeng, Mengmeng calls grandma, eat"

Ouyang hugged Mengmeng to the kitchen, and Li Qing followed quickly.

Ouyang Lei was sitting at the kitchen table, already eating.

Li Qingsheng's rice was soaked in soup and fed Mengmeng, and Ouyang quickly finished eating to feed Mengmeng.

Li Qingsheng went to the room with some vegetables, and after eating, Ouyang was washing the dishes, and Jiang Cui saw him standing at the door of the east house and roaring

''You don't do anything, I've never seen such a lazy person''"

Ouyang came out of the kitchen

"Mom, Li Qing is coaxing Meng Meng to play, and I'll wash it too."

Li Qing didn't hear it, and coaxed Meng Meng to play.

The next day, before dawn, Jiang Cui pushed open the door and entered the room.

"Hey, Li Qing! Li Qing! Get up and cook porridge, I'm going to go to the street and see what to buy."

Ouyang agreed

"Mom, what time is it? It's not dawn yet,"

"Son, tell her to get up and cook some porridge,"

"Li Qing, get up, Li Qing!"

Jiang Cui shouted loudly, and Ouyang whispered

''Mom, I heard it, so loud, don't wake up Mengmeng.'' ”

Li Qing lifted the thin towel covering his body, and replied with his face exposed

"Got it."

Jiang Cui then grunted and walked out of the room.

Li Qing let out a sigh of relief

''Hey~Oh my God! ‘’

Shaking his head vigorously.

Ouyang said

"I'm going to cook porridge."

"You go to cook, does your mother know that it's not noisy? Take a look at the pee for Mengmeng, and you will sleep with Mengmeng. ’’

Li Qing got out of bed and closed the door, put on an old dress, yawned and squinted his eyes, fumbled, stepped through the back door, went to the kitchen, groped back to the room and fell asleep on the bed after thirty minutes.

The sound of the bicycle wheels rolling at the gate, Jiang Cui went home, squeaked, pushed open the door of the hall, went to the kitchen first, and then stepped into Li Qing's room with the wind.

''Li Qing! Still sleeping! Can't you wash a lot of dirty laundry? Long eyes don't matter at all! I don't know where there are so many sleeps all day long!

I was 12 years old as a child daughter-in-law, getting up early every day and doing laundry and cooking

People have done it, look at you now, the blessings are too much. ”

He said as he walked out of the room.

"Ahh Get up, if you don't get up and remember the bittersweet thoughts, you have to grind your ears out of calluses,''

Li Qing twisted Ouyang's arm hatefully.

Li Qing got out of bed and stood up to tuck his hair and tied it tightly with a head rope.

Carry the large wooden basin to the balcony, put a pile of dirty clothes on the bench of the hall into the large wooden basin, pour some water, washing powder, and soak it.

I took a washboard, rolled my clothes, put them in a plastic bucket, carried them with a flat pole, and walked to the river in front of me.

The riverbed is narrow and deep, and there is no water in the reservoir today, so the water level in the river is very low, and there is a bamboo forest on the other side of the river, and the surroundings are quiet.

The river is not knee-deep, so you have to go down to the river to wash.

Li Qing put down his flat shoulder, carried two buckets of wet clothes, and walked down from the high polder, the bare polder was releasing water from the reservoir a few days ago, and the water level was very high, so the slope of the polder was slippery.

Li Qing held two buckets in his hand, prepared to go downhill from the polder, stretched out his left foot, tried on his toes, stepped on it, touched the two buckets to the ground, stretched out his right foot, tried with his heel, stepped on, prepared to move the two buckets downhill a little, the yellow mud under his right foot slipped, "Huh~"

Li Qing suddenly slipped down the slope, sat on the slope with his butt, and the two buckets rolled to the ground.

Li Qing hurriedly reached out to grab the bucket, almost rolled into the river, got up and took off his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, and groped his way down into the river.

Pick at the mud on your clothes.

Two buckets were washed, the clothes scattered all over the place were washed, put them in the buckets, just washed on the polder, put on shoes, and met two women in the village wearing rain boots to wash clothes,

"Li Qing, so early?"

"Ah, well, you're going to do the laundry too?"

Li Qinggan smiled and responded, the expression on his face was more ugly than crying, he lifted the two buckets, and dared to go home before dawn.
