Chapter 4: The Wheat Harvest

In the evening, when Jinqing came back, the family ate around an earthen table, and Mama Liu said: "Jinqing won't sell medicine tomorrow, I see that several families have started to cut wheat today, let's go pick up wheat tomorrow!" ”

When Jin Zhi heard this, he immediately put down his chopsticks and cheered. Jinqing's family does not have their own land, so they can only buy food or something. During the wheat harvest season, there will be a lot of wheat ears scattered on the ground during transportation and there is no time to pick up, and picking up wheat has become a must-do job for big girls and little daughters-in-law in the countryside. The wheat that was picked up was the pocket money of these big girls and little daughters-in-law for a year, and they were counting on this to buy a needle and thread or something.

In Jinqing's memory, last year, Mama Liu took them to pick up more than 60 catties of wheat with a basket, grinding it into flour mixed with coarse grains to eat, enough for them to eat for two months, no wonder Jinzhi is so active in picking wheat.

The midsummer sun shines on the top of the head, picking wheat is also a hard physical work, Jinqing and Jinzhi are wrapped in clothes on their heads, Rao is so, Jinqing's face is still reddened by the sun, Mama Liu is used to doing work, but she doesn't feel sunburned, and she strongly persuaded Jinqing to go home first to drink saliva and rest, and it will be difficult to marry if the girl's family is tanned.

Jin Qing also wanted to go home to drink saliva, but from a distance, he saw Li Fucai, a splash in the village, walking towards them.

Li Fucai's father was in Zhujia Village, and when his father-in-law and mother-in-law died, he quickly changed his son Zhu Fucai back to his surname.

Several times, Li Fucai went crazy by drinking, and went to the door of Jinqing's house to howl and scream, Mama Liu is an honest and timid person, and the family of three is often frightened into a group, but Li Fucai still has some scruples in the end, and he doesn't dare to break in by force.

The previous Jin Qing didn't understand why, but now she thinks that Mama Liu is only in her early thirties, although she has worked hard for a long time, she looks like Zhou Zheng, but Li Fucai has taken a fancy to Mama Liu and wants to take advantage.

Just when Jin Qing was reminiscing, Li Fucai had already run over with a shy face, and Mama Liu looked at him vigilantly and hugged Jin Qing and Jin Zhi tightly.

Li Fucai tied his pants with a straw rope indiscriminately, draped the tattered short shirt on his body, stretched out his head to look at the basket in Mama Liu's hand, a pair of small triangular eyes greedily swept around Mama Liu's face, and said cheekily: "Sister, okay!" So much in one morning! Come, let my brother see, how much have you picked up? As he spoke, he stepped forward to pull Mama Liu.

Mama Liu hugged Jinqing and Jinzhi and dodged, didn't speak or look at him, almost cried, and prayed in her heart that this splash would leave soon. The carriage carrying wheat on this road is full of people, and when people see that she and Li Fucai are not able to pull clearly, the spitting stars can drown her! How else do Jin Zhi and Jin Qing behave.

Jin Qing couldn't stand it for a long time, Li Fucai was a bachelor whose parents were dead, and he only dared to bully the Jin Qing family in the village, it was nothing more than seeing that the Jin Qing family had no man, and they had no roots, the weaker he was, the more he increased his arrogance.

Jin Qing took advantage of Li Fucai's salivating face to push Mama Liu, didn't notice her, struggled to fly up, kicked Li Fucai's calf bone hard, Li Fucai was cold and suddenly, jumped up with his leg in pain, and when he saw clearly that it was Jin Qing who kicked him, he stepped forward with a hideous face in annoyance and anger, and raised his slap to beat Jin Qing.

Jin Qing picked up an arm-thick firewood stick on the ground, jumped up and hit Li Fucai with the stick, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "You shameless splasher!" I'll beat you to death, shameless one! Call you a bully! ”

The countryside was originally very quiet, and was shouted by Jin Qing in a few voices, and all the farmers who bent down to cut wheat in the field raised their heads and looked at this side, Li Fucai was beaten by Jin Qing at first, this girl has always been timid, during this time I heard that she would go to the village to sell medicine, it was very evil, and today it was like going crazy.

When Li Fucai remembered to fight back, the villagers of Zhujia Village had already surrounded him, and Jin Qing shouted loudly when he saw someone coming: "Li Fucai, you shameless bastard!" None of them want to bully us! Kill you shameless! "It's all over the field chasing Li Fucai.

Li Fucai dragged the rotten cloth shoes and ran in embarrassment, and after eating Jin Qing a few times in a row, he couldn't hold his face, and he had already held a grudge, turned around and grabbed the wooden stick in Jin Qing's hand, and shouted with a fierce look in his eyes: "Dare to beat Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill you today!" ”

Jin Qing was only twelve or thirteen years old, where was Li Fucai's opponent, and he couldn't pull the wooden stick back from Li Fucai's hands after a few tugging strokes.

Zhu Xun, the second son of the patriarch, couldn't stand it anymore, they all knew what kind of person Li Fucai was, how could there be a bully of orphans and widows on the avenue.

"Li Fucai, what do you want to do?" Zhu Xun shouted coldly. Several villagers around him were pointing at Li Fucai.

Li Fucai looked at Jin Qing, who was glaring at him angrily, and then looked at the few villagers who were watching, let go of the wooden stick in his hand, pointed at Jin Qing and shouted: "Today Lao Tzu spared you, next time I dare to beat Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you to death, a little prostitute!" ”

"Fuck off! Next time, dare to bully us and see who kills whom! Jin Qing smashed the wooden stick in his hand at Li Fucai, who was running away, and hit him in the back. Li Fucai covered his back and stared at Jinqing resentfully, and ran away.

Mama Liu was frightened and didn't dare to move when she hugged Jinzhi, but when she saw Li Fucai leaving, she hurriedly threw down the basket containing wheat, checked Jinqing up and down, and cried with tears on her face: "Jinqing, have you been hit by that rotten thing?" ”

Jin Qing shook her head, she was able to hit Li Fucai just now, it was completely by surprise, the scolding first shocked Li Fucai, plus Uncle Zhu Xun and others helped her speak, otherwise with her small body, where is the opponent of the adult man Li Fucai.

Zhu Xun sighed, they all pity Jinqing's family, but no one is rich, not to mention that Jinqing's family is an outsider, orphan and widow, and it makes people gossip if they help more.

"Jinqing, if Li Fucai dares to bully you again, don't fight him, come and tell Uncle that Uncle is the master for you, you are a girl, where is his opponent, what should I do if I suffer a loss!" Zhu Xun sighed.

The surrounding villagers also echoed and told Jinqing not to be rash, so as not to suffer a big loss.

Jin Qing smiled at Zhu Xun gratefully, she remembered all these people who helped her, if she had the opportunity in the future, she would definitely pay it back.

Waiting for the onlookers to disperse, Mama Liu was still wiping her tears, Jinqing's mother entrusted these two children to her before she died, but she was not able to take care of Jinqing and Jinzhi, and she was tired of the two children following her to suffer and be angry.

Jin Zhi's teeth clucked, his little fists clenched into a ball, staring at the direction in which Li Fucai ran away, his immature little face distorted into a ball, "It's all useless to me, I can't protect my sister and grandma!" ”

Jin Qing took Jin Zhi into his arms in distress, Jin Zhi suddenly cried, tears soaked Jin Qing's clothes, Jin Zhi cried: "Sister, it's all useless to me, I'm the only man in our family, but I can't beat Li Fucai, I can't protect you!" ”

Jin Qing was immediately amused, still a man? What kind of man is a seven or eight-year-old boy! Jin Qing touched Jin Zhi's little head, looked at Mama Liu and Jin Zhi, and said, "Mama, Jin Zhi, we can't always tolerate Li Fucai, otherwise the courage of that wicked man will become bigger and bigger, and sooner or later we will suffer a big loss!" ”

Mama Liu wiped her tears and sighed, "Where are we his opponents?" If it weren't for you Uncle Zhu Xun and them, we would have been beaten by him a long time ago, next time he dares to come, we will call someone, Jinqing, you must not do anything with him again, you little girl, you can't beat him! ”

Jin Qing clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "This time there are Uncle Zhu Xun and them, what about next time?" How can he be so lucky, if he dares to come again, the three of us will go to beat him together, whether it is punching or kicking, biting with teeth, even if we have little strength, there are three people, who can always make him suffer some hardships, so that he will not dare to easily move crooked ideas on us! ”

The world has changed, but what remains unchanged is people's hearts, only when they are strong, they will not be bullied, and they expect others to maintain fairness and justice, which is only temporary, others can be soft and pity you once or twice, and can they help you stand out every time? I can't promise others any benefits, and in the end I can only rely on myself.

Especially there is a boy in the family, Jin Zhi, if he blindly tolerates the weakness and allows others to bully, Jin Zhi has the same example, what will he become in the future, a manly husband, if he is a timid and afraid personality who is bullied, then this life is over.

For the sake of Jinzhi, Jinqing can't let the family live like this anymore.
