Chapter 378: The Wicked Woman (1)
When it was hot in the middle of the morning, Zhou Ziya and Zhou Ziyun walked on the edge of the field with large buckets of thirst-quenching tea and bowls, looking at the fields where there was obviously no harvest, Zhou Ziya also sighed, the people are really hard, and they have to rely on the sky to eat.
In modern times, although I have been thinking about Chinese food since I was a child, it is hard work. Unfortunately, there was no special feeling at that time. Even if you know what that means, if you haven't really experienced it, you really won't understand the preciousness of that kind of food. Who called it modern, the yield of rice per mu was a harvest of thousands of catties, and it was like this ancient time that there were only three or four hundred catties and a lot of taxes to pay. There is not much left. And one of the most depressing things in ancient times was to pay attention to having more children and more blessings, having a large population, and eating more. It's just that the poorer these people are, the more they can live.
"Xiaoya, look at your feet, don't fall."
Zhou Ziyun looked at his little cousin in a trance, and hurriedly reminded.
"Oh, I'm fine. Do not worry. ”
When the sisters brought the water, the brothers were working hard, and Zhou Ziya looked at the sweat of the brothers like rain, and the sun on their heads like a fireball, and now she was extremely sympathetic to them. After all, she didn't have to work to find it uncomfortably hot.
"Big brother, second brother, come and rest for a while. Drink some water to quench your thirst. Let's continue to cut the rice. ”
Zhou Ziya shouted while holding a bowl of tea. When the brothers heard this, they all hurriedly leaned over here. After all, I was really tired, hot and thirsty, so I had to rest for a while. It's just that there is no place to block the sun on the edge of this field, which is a bit bad.
"Brother, drink more, otherwise this big sun will avoid heat stroke."
"Little sister, don't worry, the eldest brother's body is very good, and he is not so prone to heat stroke."
Zhou Zihu took the bowl and drank it directly like dry wine, so thirsty that he drank it all in a few sips. When Zhou Ziya saw it, she hurriedly helped pour the water again, and the other people were the same. Zhou Ziyun was also on the side to help pour water. Because before the water is delivered, it is put in the well and frozen. Feel comfortable before drinking. It was as if they were alive again.
The old man and his sons were collecting grain in another place, not in the same place, because the old man was training several grandchildren this year. So let a few people be responsible for a piece alone. He took his sons to another place. Zhou Ziya was about to put down some water, and then send the rest of the water to the old man, when the woman's scolding sounded in her ears.
"Dead girl, what do you see, don't hurry up and come to work. Keep your eyes on other people's work, they will give you food, and they will give you clothes. If you don't come to work anymore, you'll sell your money-losing goods. It just so happens that there is no harvest this year. There is no food in this house, so they will wait to starve to death, and sell you dead girl, and then they will exchange it for food. ”
The woman, dressed in patched tattered clothes, crossed her waist, pointed at a thin girl of about six or seven years old with her mouth wide open, and scolded vigorously, and you could see the disgusting picture of her saliva being scattered when you got closer.
This scolding is none other than the woman Zhou Ziya met a few days ago, the cheap woman from Liu Yougen's family. At this time, the woman was scolding no one else, but the daughter of her eldest son's family, and her granddaughter. And it just so happened that at this time, the rice field of Zhou Ziya's family was the distance between the two fields next door to the field of Liu Yougen's family, which was very close. When it was hot in the middle of the morning, Zhou Ziya and Zhou Ziyun walked on the edge of the field with large buckets of thirst-quenching tea and bowls, looking at the fields where there was obviously no harvest, Zhou Ziya also sighed, the people are really hard, and they have to rely on the sky to eat.
