Chapter 33: Sour

It's not the time to plant rice yet, but she definitely has to do the task of planting rice this year, so during this time, Jiang Yuanyuan has a sad face all day long.

After all, she couldn't escape this catastrophe, and when the day came, Jiang Yuanyuan still had to take off her shoes and socks with Jiang's father Jiang Xuan and go to the field to plant seedlings.

There are leeches in the paddy field, as well as all kinds of insects, every time the rice planting comes out, the feet are crawling with these insects, they can't pull it out, it's disgusting and itchy, and the scalp of the people who see it is numb, so Jiang Yuanyuan is full of resistance to the matter of rice planting, but who called their family's main source of income is to buy grain, and the ten acres of land at home are all good paddy fields, which are all good places to grow food.

Forget it before, when the conditions at home were okay in the past, Jiang's father would invite two people to help, knowing that Jiang Yuanyuan didn't like to plant seedlings, he only asked her to apply medicine and fertilizer, take care of the vegetable garden in her backyard, plant some vegetables, wash some clothes at home and cook something, but now there is a pregnant woman at home, and it costs a lot of money to treat Jiang Yuanyuan's feet, Jiang's father is willing not to take out the money left for the two children in the future, so he can only work hard.

On this day, after leaving the field, Jiang Yuanyuan crawled on her calves with two leeches, and Jiang Yuanyuan sat on the ground and cried.

"Yuanyuan!" Jiang Xuan ran over from the side, looked at the leech on Jiang Yuanyuan's leg, he shivered, took out salt from his arms and sprinkled it, the leech squirmed, let go of Jiang Yuanyuan's leg, and fell to the ground.

I don't know why, Jiang Yuanyuan can be targeted by leeches every time she goes to the field, and there are leeches sticking to her feet every day, Jiang Yuanyuan's white and tender calves are already red and swollen, and there are more than a dozen red eyes.

"Woo woo ~ hiccup ~ woo woo wow wow wow!" Jiang Yuanyuan hiccuped from crying, her toes curled up tightly, and she was convulsive from crying, Jiang Xuan flushed Jiang Yuanyuan's feet with water, looking at her red and swollen calves, her eyes were red.

"Are there leeches again?" Father Jiang came up from the field, he shook the mud and small insects on his feet, and sighed low as he looked at Jiang Yuanyuan's swollen feet.

"I don't know what's wrong, this leech is always staring at Yuanyuan." Jiang Xuan said, he took out the fire fold he was carrying with him and burned the two leeches on the ground.

One of the most annoying things about this leech is that it can't die.

Leeches can't be killed, the only way is to burn them and bury them, this thing is very disgusting, not to mention Jiang Yuanyuan, even Jiang Xuan or Jiang's father usually can't help but shudder twice when they see it.

Jiang Xuan buried the leeches and carried Jiang Yuanyuan on her back, Jiang Yuanyuan endured this trembling feeling every day in the past few days to go to the field to plant seedlings, but she suddenly couldn't help it today, the strong fear covered her, she couldn't control herself at all, she cried for a long time, and only stopped when she was almost in the village, lying on Jiang Xuan's shoulder and sobbing.

"Yo, isn't this Jiang Yuanyuan!" Aunt Zhou sat next to the big tree at the entrance of the village again, knocking melon seeds and chatting with others.

"Ah, really, why is the girl crying?" Second Aunt Chen also looked at it in surprise.

"A little thing." Father Jiang explained two sentences later, nodded with a smile and prepared to leave.

"Yo, this foot of the girl was stared at by leeches?" The three of them wanted to leave, but the people here didn't want to let them go, Second Aunt Chen saw the swelling and red spots on Jiang Yuanyuan's feet with sharp eyes, and said with some schadenfreude.

"That's true!" Aunt Zhou said on the side, "This pampered is different, the skin is tender, this leech also knows how to pick, and it specializes in picking these girls with tender skin!" ”

"Feelings are crying because of being stared at by leeches?" Aunt Chen, who had been silent on the side, suddenly made a sound, she shook her head, looking down on her, "Who hasn't been stared at by leeches, why are you still crying, this is a little squeamish." ”

The women sitting next to them all smiled, many of them didn't have any malice towards Jiang Yuanyuan, they just felt that Jiang Yuanyuan was crying because of this matter, but this simple person who felt funny did not include Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen is absolutely malicious towards Jiang Yuanyuan.

The women sitting here all know that just now Aunt Chen was still complaining about her son Chen Mohua going to Jiang's house to propose marriage, Aunt Chen has always disliked Jiang Yuanyuan, she has always felt that Jiang Yuanyuan is a woman from Meng Lang, she mixes with some men all day long, and she doesn't know shame at all, plus the Jiang family has always been a relatively wealthy family in the village, these people are more or less envious and jealous, Jiang's mother and second aunt don't have much contact with these women, so these people don't like the Jiang family very much, Even with the daughter who doesn't like the Jiang family's spoiled to the biggest.

In this kind of group of women who have been doing farm work since childhood, Jiang Yuanyuan only occasionally does some farm work, more at home to play, and there is a beautiful grandmother who is quite unique, almost it can be said that she is spoiled by the family, so this group of women are a little unaccustomed to Jiang Yuanyuan.

Aunt Chen is even more unaccustomed to Jiang Yuanyuan, but her son still likes Jiang Yuanyuan, and she has to make trouble at home to marry Jiang Yuanyuan, so she hates Jiang Yuanyuan even more, and now she looks at Jiang Yuanyuan crying, she is a little gloating, and she has to say a few sour words.

Jiang Yuanyuan lay on Jiang Xuan's shoulder and her eyes were red, she lowered her head and pinched Jiang Xuan's shoulder, hanging her head, and the tears that had been stopped wanted to fall out again.

"Proud girls are like this!" Aunt Zhou answered again, "But now I have to do farm work again, this is the rhythm of falling out of favor!" ”

"You three ladies, what kind of tongue do you chew all day long!" Father Jiang was angry, he yelled, very angry.

"My Yuanyuan is spoiled by me, if you think it's unfair, don't come out to do farm work! What sour words are here, it's her own will to not come out, what are you talking nonsense here, my daughter, I just want to spoil you and hinder you in something. ”

Father Jiang chattered, and spat out as if it wasn't enough, looking at the three people's faces like earth, Father Jiang shook his hand and left.

Jiang Xuan is not qualified to say that these elders are not, but seeing that his father said these people, his heart is also very happy, and he hurriedly keeps up with Jiang's father's pace.

"Yuanyuan, don't be angry, these people just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour!" Jiang Xuan whispered, "You wait for a while to take medicine and rest for a while, and call Sheng Rong to talk to you later, you can ask him to teach you how to read, don't think about these messy things." ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Yuanyuan replied in a low voice, she buried her face in Jiang Xuan's neck, and wiped her tears and snot on it.

After going back, Jiang Xuan gave Jiang Yuanyuan medicine, because her feet were so swollen that she couldn't wear shoes and socks, so she put them on a chair next to her to dry.

Jiang Yuanyuan heard the sound of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother talking outside the door, and there was no sound after a while.

"Yuanyuan?" Jiang's father knocked on the door, and Jiang Yuanyuan was a little nervous.

"Huh? Come in, Daddy. ”

Father Jiang walked in, he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at his daughter, and sighed lowly.

"Yuanyuan, this matter, my father is sorry for you."

"Huh?" Jiang Yuanyuan raised her head very incomprehensibly, wondering why Father Jiang would say such a thing.

"Your mother and I never intended to ask you to do these farm work, but recently, I was carried away by the news that your mother has a body, ignored you, and was all about the child in your mother's womb. Thinking about it today, you are my daughter who has been spoiled since childhood, I haven't asked you to do farm work for so many years, but now I pull you to do this, I know that you are afraid, but I still ask you to do this, is it my father's. ”

"Nothing!" Jiang Yuanyuan shouted loudly, she lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Dad, you have always been very good to me, in fact, I shouldn't be so hypocritical, I always knew that other girls, younger than me, have gone to do this, but my father and mother have always been used to me, let me do whatever I want, I have always known in my heart, this time, I shouldn't be so hypocritical, these should be what I should do......"

"Yuanyuan!" Father Jiang walked over and covered Jiang Yuanyuan's head with his big hand, "In my heart and your mother's heart, you are the baby of our family, the only girl in the family, because the conditions at home are okay, so we don't want to ask you to do these things, your sister Qian is also like this, and you are both obedient, sensible and caring, it has always been our pride, our family has the conditions to let you not go to planting seedlings, and the conditions to make your life better, so we don't want to wronged you, what other people's children have, we give it to you, what other people's children don't have, We're going to try to give it to you, so you don't have to think about it at all. ”

"This time I was dizzy, and your mother also said several times that she would ask you to come back to accompany her, because I thought you could do it and asked you to try it, in fact, the family was not poor to this point, it was I who wanted to save some money to give your unborn brothers and sisters a better life, and now that I think about it, it is not necessary at all. You are my daughter, I spoil the eldest daughter, I shouldn't have asked you to do this, this time my father apologized to you, in the future, you will continue to do what you used to do, raising a family These things are our men's worries, you just have a good rest at home, your wounds are not completely healed, and it will hurt on rainy days, I forgot about these, my father apologized to you, good Yuanyuan! ”

Jiang Yuanyuan lowered her head with some guilt, although Jiang's father said so, Jiang Yuanyuan was still very guilty in her heart, if she wasn't so hypocritical, these things wouldn't have happened.
