013 Borrowing cattle

Zhao Shuxin's fainting hit Qian Manzhi very hard, and she didn't dare to let him work in the field during the annual double robbery.

The work in the field can only be done by the mother and daughter, and when they are too busy, Qian Manzhi naturally has to call his mother's family for help.

The Qian family also had to be busy robbing, but Qian Manzhi went home to ask for help, and Qian's father agreed without saying a word.

The Qian family's whole family came out to help, so Zhao Lele didn't have to work in the fields. She has to be responsible for the meals of a large family at home, and she has to take care of Zhao Shuxin, and she is also responsible for looking through the cut millet on the field, and she has to prevent birds such as chickens, ducks and sparrows from stealing food, and she is not easy at home.

She boils two large pots of water and tea every day, and the mung bean soup that relieves the cold is also prepared every afternoon, and when the sun is at its highest, she has to send it to the field for everyone to drink.

During the busy farming season, every family is busy in the fields, and even children of a few years old are not idle, they play in the fields and help the adults run errands and help the children.

Zhao Lele sent the mung bean soup to the field, and many children drooled from afar, but no one came forward.

Qian Manzhi drank the mung bean soup and went down to continue cutting rice, without even stopping and bending down to work, and the rest of the Qian family didn't listen to her when she told her to rest for a while.

Mother Qian was only responsible for laying her hands in the field, and she was so tired that she held her waist and said, "What are the people of the Zhao family doing?" We all rushed over to help, and they were still watching? ”

"Be quiet, it's not at home." Father Qian immediately stopped drinking, and by the way, he also observed whether anyone around heard it.

"What are you afraid of, I dare to say it in front of the Zhao family." Mother Qian has long been dissatisfied with the Zhao family, and she doesn't even dislike Zhao Shuxin's son-in-law.

"Lele, you go back first!" Father Qian opened his mouth and sent his granddaughter away.

Zhao Lele still wanted to stay and help Qian Manzhi work, but she was a little unhappy to be driven away, but she didn't dare to resist when her grandfather spoke.

Father Qian waited for Zhao Lele to go far before educating his old wife: "Don't say it in front of Lele before you say that the Zhao family is bad in the future, her surname is Zhao." ”

"Hmph, what if I said it, she still dares to have an opinion." Mother Qian was not convinced.

"If she doesn't say it, she will feel uncomfortable in her heart, why should you!"

"I'm going to say, don't worry about it." Mother Qian was just as unkind as her family, and even more unreasonable.

"Okay, I don't care, I'll go to work." Father Qian glared angrily.

Mother Qian snorted and went to work in the field, and she had to continue to work when she was angry. After they finished their work for the Zhao family, they had to go back to their own house to continue, and their own rice had not yet begun to be harvested.

It is not only the weather that waits for no one, but they also have to rush to borrow oxen to plow the land.

Zhao Shuxin didn't raise cattle, he went to Zhao Shuli's house every year to borrow cattle, and it was not entirely right to say that it was borrowed, this cow was raised by Zhao's father since he was a child, and he said that the brothers would share it at the beginning.

Zhao Shuxin took this seriously, and every time he went to borrow a cow, he was not polite, after all, he had paid half of the money to buy the calf.

Every time he went to Morning Glory, Sun Yan secretly rolled his eyes, and privately told the children at home that Zhao Shuxin took advantage. Her words and the three children said, but unfortunately Zhao Xiaojun didn't like to listen and never agreed, Zhao Xiaoming casually agreed but didn't take it to heart, only Zhao Xiaofang understood her heart.

Sun Yan suspects that Zhao Shuxin comes to the door every time he comes to the door when he uses his own cattle, and he doesn't look at it at all, and he should wait in line for her to run out of use at home.

This time, the brothers started to cut rice on the same day, and Zhao Shuli's family had few people on the land, and it was Zhao Shu's new family who finished cutting first. One step is fast, one step is fast, Qian Manzhi went to find his in-laws to take the cow, Sun Yan couldn't help but secretly sarcastic.

Sun Yan didn't say anything bad to Zhao Shuxin, but she didn't have too many scruples about her concubine, the two had never gotten along, and she wasn't afraid of her in-laws blaming her when the two quarreled.

"Sister-in-law, I'll return the cattle after plowing, you haven't finished cutting the rice yet, what's the hurry." Qian Manzhi was very dissatisfied with Sun Yan's yin and yang weird words, but it was good to explain it for the sake of her in-laws.

"You say it simply, I'm not in a hurry, but if you borrow the cow, Dad will also go over with you to help you plow the land, and I have one less person to cut the rice, if it rains, you will compensate me!" Sun Yan was so angry that there was one less strong laborer to work.

"Sister-in-law, what can I do if Dad wants to follow me, you have to have an opinion and mention it to Dad, this cow is not owned by your family, and our family also has money." After Qian Manzhi finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

Sun Yan crossed her waist and panted with breath, she dared to mention it to her father-in-law, where was the use of being secretly angry. She didn't dare to mention it in front of Zhao Shuli, for fear of making him angry and scolding.

Zhao's mother heard the two daughters-in-law fighting in the kitchen, but she didn't mean to dissuade them. It's not that she can't wait for the two of them to make trouble, it's just that the two of them are like sisters, and she feels uncomfortable, and she feels normal when her face and heart are not in harmony.

Zhao's father took the ox to help Zhao Shuxin plough the field, and Qian Manzhi specially bought back good wine and good food to entertain him, and he didn't even need Zhao Lele to cook, so he directly asked Qian's mother to be responsible for cooking.

Zhao Lele just doesn't have to stand on the stove to stir-fry, she still has to stay in the kitchen to help Qian's mother. Mother Qian taught her to cook big dishes while cooking, and these dishes were difficult to eat all year round, so she was very interested in learning them.

Zhao's father was very satisfied with the meal prepared by his youngest son, including meat, fish and wine, as well as his favorite side dishes with wine, peanuts and salted duck eggs.

It would be more perfect if someone accompanied him to drink two glasses, but unfortunately the Qian family father and son didn't drink, and Zhao Shuxin couldn't drink after he got sick, so he could only raise a glass alone regretfully.

The Qian family helped in the Zhao family for a total of three days, working early and returning late every day, and finally finished cutting the rice that should be cut in the field and planting the seedlings that should be planted.

Qian Manzhi could breathe a sigh of relief, but the farm was not over, and she went back to her parents' house to help.

The Zhao family was not done yet, but she ran back to her parents' house to help with the work first, and Sun Yan had a lot of opinions.

This time, no one supported her, and even Zhao's mother blamed her: "Your mother's family didn't come to help, are you embarrassed to say?" Her mother's family all came to help, shouldn't she go back to help her mother's family? ”

Zhao's mother felt sorry for her son and grandson who were tanning like a black man in the sun every day, and if Sun Yan's family could also help, her grandson would also be able to bask in a little less sun in the ground, especially the little grandson.

Zhao Xiaoming has been going to school, and he has not done as much farm work as Zhao Lele, that is, after the college entrance examination this year, he has no homework in the summer vacation, and his family let him work in the field.

Zhao's mother didn't dare to say that she wouldn't let her grandson work before the results of the college entrance examination came out, and if he didn't pass the exam, he would still go home to farm, no different from other young men in the village who didn't study.

Sun Yan was also aggrieved when she mentioned this: "Mom, it's not that my mother's family doesn't help, they don't have time to come over, and the land at home is too busy, so how can they have time to come over to help." ”

"Okay, you say this every year, anyway, you don't even feel sorry for your son and man, what can I do." Mother Zhao pouted dissatisfiedly and left.
