Chapter 362: After the Autumn Harvest

Fang Wenjing said: "It's okay to pay the travel fee, your eldest aunt and second aunt sold you fish and shrimp, and they also made a lot of money." ”

Tang Xiaolan also told Fang Wenjing that she also gave Tang Jianbin a salary of fifty yuan, because he also came to help for more than ten days.

Fang Wenjing asked Tang Jianbin what the kid was doing in the city, and Tang Xiaofu said that he was working as a migrant worker.

Fang Wenjing heard that the work of migrant workers was hard, but the food was not good, and the wages were not high, so she sighed and said: "This child is pitiful, you can help him." ”

Tang Xiaofu nodded: "I know this, when I gave him the fifty yuan salary, I specially told him to save it for himself, don't give it to anyone in the Tang family, especially don't be coaxed away by Wu Chunyan, he laughed at me at the time, and I was not afraid of growing old." ”

Fang Wenjing pondered for a moment and said: "Although Jianbin is not angry when you say those words, don't say it later, no matter how you say it, his surname is Tang, you said that the Tang family is not good, he will feel uncomfortable in his heart after hearing it." ”

Tang Xiaofu replied "yes", and asked if the two uncles and their families would come to help with the autumn harvest in the past few days, and if they came, they had to arrange the meals for the guests in advance.

Fang Wenjing said: "Your two aunts said that they would come to help my family with the autumn harvest, but I forcibly stopped them, your cousin Fang Liang and your cousin Fang Sheng and Fang Li all followed the villagers to work on the construction site in the provincial capital, and they couldn't ask for leave to come back, they have a lot of fields, and their own labor is not enough, how can I let them leave their crops to help us?" ”

Tang Xiaofu nodded: "Then we can harvest it in the autumn by ourselves!" ”

Fang Wenjing said: "I'm only tired for a few days, and it's not a matter of relying on others to help me." ”

The mother and daughter talked a few words and then fell asleep, after a hard day, the bones are going to fall apart, not to mention that they will continue to work hard tomorrow.

It took two full days to harvest the peanuts, and the peanuts had to be dried thoroughly before they could be bagged and stored.

Tang Xiaofu's family does not need to rush to the threshing field to dry grain, their crops can be placed on the roof of their house to dry, there is a staircase outside the house to lead to the roof, and the roof is surrounded by railings, people working on it will not fall down, so as to avoid the conflict between rushing the threshing field to dry and people.

There are already villagers in the village who are drying the drying plots in the threshing floors.

Fang Wenjing and Xiaolan have soft temperaments and don't like to quarrel with others, although Tang Xiaofu has a strong temperament, she is also very annoyed to quarrel with others, so it is best to live a quiet life.

After harvesting the peanuts, then the sesame seeds, it took another two days, and finally cotton.

Six days have passed, and the seventh day is gloomy early in the morning, Fang Wenjing is very anxious, seeing that the rainstorm is coming, and the second soybean planted by her family has not been confiscated!

At six o'clock in the morning, Fang Wenjing took her two daughters to harvest soybeans, and at eight o'clock, Tang Xiaolan went home and fried three bowls of pickled vegetables and egg fried rice with pickles, and then brought a pot of cold boiled water to the ground.

The mother and daughter hurriedly ate breakfast on the ground, and then began to harvest again.

Wang Kui and several villagers came with sickles: "Sister-in-law Fang, we're here to help you harvest!" ”

Fang Wenjing looked up and saw that these villagers had all sold vegetables to Tang Xiaofu's food stalls, and now they knew that they had come to help, and their feelings of emotion were beyond words.

Fang Wenjing asked, "Your family has finished harvesting?" ”

"The harvest is over!" Those villagers went to the field to help, and the soybeans on the two acres of land were all harvested before noon.

As soon as the villagers picked up the soybeans to Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter to the east wing of the Tang family, a few lightning bolts in the sky, a few thunderstorms, and a torrential downpour of rain.

Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter were very happy, fortunately they had the help of the villagers, otherwise they would have to lose more than half of the soybeans, and Fang Wenjing's hard work would have been in vain.

After six and a half days of tiredness, when the Tang Xiaofu sisters returned home, they all collapsed on the bed like dead dogs.

Fang Wenjing made lunch, called the two daughters up, ate lunch, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, fed the livestock, and the mother and daughter all took a nap beautifully, the labor intensity is too great these days!

I slept in the dark until half past four in the afternoon, and the mother and daughter got up, rested, and all of them were in good spirits.

The Tang Xiaofu sisters each wore a piece of plastic and were about to go out to cut the grass and rabbits, but they saw that the only fruit on the few fruit trees planted in the front yard had been knocked down by the storm.

Tang Xiaofu hurriedly took a basin to pick up all those fruits and handed them to Fang Wenjing.

The two sisters went out and cut two large baskets of grass and came back to feed the rabbits.

The six free seeds sent by Leng Chenxu have now become nine, so the demand for grass has increased, and the grass needs to be cut.

It's been a busy day these days, and every time she feeds the rabbits, Tang Xiaofu doesn't pay attention to the rabbits, and now she finds out that five of the nine rabbits are all pregnant.

Leng Chenxu told her that rabbits are very fecund, so he sent breeding rabbits in the hope that she would raise rabbits to make a fortune, but he didn't expect it to be so strong! It's only been a few months, and I'm pregnant again!

Well, after the rabbit, the two sisters braved the rain to net fish and shrimp, and after netting twice, they netted a lot of large and small river shrimp, snails, and small fish.

When they returned home, the two sisters picked up the big river shrimp, big snails, and fish over two inches, and fed the other small fish, shrimps, and snails to the ducks and geese.

The ducks and geese crowed happily and fed the chickens, and it was half past five in the afternoon.

Fang Wenjing had already boiled the water, asked her sisters to wash their hair and take a bath, and she prepared dinner.

The snails need clear water, they have to be raised for a few days before they can be eaten, there are so many fish and shrimp, you can't eat them at a meal, keep some to raise, Fang Wenjing chose enough fish and shrimp to eat tonight and began to kill fish and deal with river shrimp.

It has been raining all afternoon, and it is cool and fresh inside and outside the house.

Tang Xiaofu washed the clothes of the two sisters with her hands.

In the nearly a month in the city, Xiaolan felt sorry for her to sell breakfast every morning, and she always rushed to wash her clothes after taking a shower at night, and now that she is back, it is her sister's turn to take care of her sister.

Her mother and daughter do not have the habit of washing summer clothes overnight, and they always change them and wash them on the same day, otherwise they will feel that the smell of sweat in the house is unpleasant.

Tang Xiaofu washed the clothes, and dried the clothes on the reverse side of the stairs, when designing the house, she forgot the balcony, fortunately the reverse side of the stairs can dry clothes, otherwise there is really no place to dry clothes on rainy days.

Fang Wenjing had already cooked the rice and fried three dishes, and was about to cook the fish and shrimp, Tang Xiaofu walked into the kitchen and said, "Mom, I'll cook the fish and shrimp." ”

Fang Wenjing knew that she was a good cook, so she handed her the spatula while she went to feed the pigs.

After making dinner, a family of three sat in the dining room to eat, with fish, shrimp and vegetables, which was the first time that the mother and daughter sat down to eat calmly after the six days of autumn harvest and farming.

Even if we ate together in those days, we talked about the autumn harvest, but today I finally changed the topic, Tang Xiaolan was talking about the new things she and her sister saw and heard when they were selling food stalls in the city, and Fang Wenjing kept smiling and listening.

After eating and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Fang Wenjing put the fruits that had already been washed on the coffee table in front of the sofa and let the two daughters take them to eat.

These fruits are still half a month away from ripening, but they are sweet and sour.

Although there are only a few fruits on each tree, there are six trees, and there are a lot of fruits in total, and the mother and daughter are chatting while eating the fruits.

Fang Wenjing said that he was going to be conscripted soon, and he didn't know if Tang Jianbin would sign up.

Then he sighed and said, even if Tang Jianbin signed up, he would not be able to pass the political trial, and it was estimated that he would not be able to become a soldier, so he couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, saying that Tang Jianbin was completely dragged down by their Tang family, and he did not participate in the deception of Chief Leng.

The mother and daughter ate the fruit in silence for a while, and Fang Wenjing slowly opened her mouth to tell Tang Xiaofu that Wu Chunyan was very bad, and she chiseled the wall in the Tang family's courtyard every day in the east wing of the east wing that belonged to the three of them.

Tang Xiaolan was very angry when she heard this: "Wu Chunyan, that old witch is really not a thing, she has always been obsessed with the court's award to us for the east and west wings, so she deliberately sabotaged it so much, just to collapse the east wing, it's not cheap for us!" ”

Tang Xiaofu asked Fang Wenjing why she said now that she should have told her as soon as she came back, so that she could solve this matter as soon as possible.

Fang Wenjing said: "I didn't think that the Tang family was a group of Laipi dogs, it would take time for you to go to them to settle accounts, I was afraid of delaying the autumn harvest, so I didn't dare to tell you." ”

Tang Xiaofu raised her eyebrows: "I'll go to the Tang family tomorrow, and they will fix what they damaged me!" ”

There is no entertainment in the countryside, Tang Xiaofu doesn't even have a radio at home, and the mother and daughter have nothing to say until nine o'clock, so they all sleep.

The rainstorm outside is still crackling, because she has slept well in the afternoon, although she is lying in bed now, Tang Xiaofu is not sleepy, she is tossing and turning in bed, thinking that she will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives tomorrow to buy a radio and come back, otherwise she will not even know the news outside.

The next day it was still raining heavily, and when the two sisters went to cut the grass for the rabbit in the morning, they saw that not only the grass, thorns and crops were beaten on the ground by the wind and rain, but even some small trees of half size were blown so that they could not stand upright.

Tang Xiaofu looked up at the sky, and the rain fell into her eyes, and she secretly prayed in her heart that the rainstorm would end soon, so that Leng Chenxu would not have to lead troops to fight the flood.

After breakfast, Tang Xiaofu went to Tang's house with an umbrella, pushed open the door of Tang's house, and walked in.

Wu Chunyan thought that a villager had walked into his house, and was about to greet him with a smile, but when he saw that it was Tang Xiaofu, his face immediately collapsed, as if many people had died in the family, and scolded Tang Xiaofu angrily: "You dead slut, little bitch, get out of here!" ”

Tang Xiaofu stared at her calmly and fiercely: "I warn you, if you scold me like this again, I can sue you for slander!" ”

Wu Chunyan immediately shut up, but she held on to her momentum and asked angrily, "What are you doing at my house?" ”

Tang Xiaofu pointed to the wall of the east wing against her yard, and said coldly: "Do you think I rarely come to your house?" Even if you use an eight-person sedan chair to carry me, I don't bother to step into your house for half a step! It's not because you're a dirty person and you've broken the walls of my house, of course I'm going to come to the door! ”

Wu Chunyan rolled her eyes: "It's going to rain this day, my mother is going to get married, and the wall of your house is going to be broken, why do you rely on me!" ”

Tang Xiaofu snorted coldly: "I don't have a war of words with you, I just salute first and then soldier, say hello to you, and let you repair this wall for me by yourself, forget it, otherwise I will sue the public security and let the public security watch it!" After saying that, he turned around and went back.

When she returned home, Fang Wenjing asked her what Wu Chunyan said.

Tang Xiaofu sneered: "What else will that old Laipi dog say? Of course I don't admit it! ”

Fang Wenjing sighed: "I knew that the old witch was difficult, she was determined, we didn't have any witnesses, and there was nothing we could do about her!" ”

Tang Xiaofu sneered: "No witnesses? Does this still require witnesses? That wall is in her yard, who can go into her yard and dig that wall in our house? Who else would it be if it wasn't her family?

I have already threatened Wu Chunyan, that old witch, if she doesn't restore the wall of our house to us, I will sue the police! Wu Chunyan is not a fool, the police will not ask her to repair the wall of our house when they come, she will be frightened! So she's going to fix the wall for us! ”

Fang Wenjing was relieved when she heard this.

It's rare to be so free, Fang Wenjing made clothes for Tang Xiaolan, she was about to go to a key school in the city to study, and she had to make a few clothes to meet people.

Tang Xiaofu told Fang Wenjing that she would cut Tang Xiaolan's clothes, and Fang Wenjing only needed to make finished products.

Although Fang Wenjing can make clothes, they are all rustic styles in the countryside, even if Tang Xiaolan wears new clothes to school, people also know that she is a country girl, and she comes from a previous life and can make many good-looking clothes.

Tang Xiaofu cut several dresses, shirts and pants for Tang Xiaolan that were suitable for students, and the morning passed.

When Tang Xiaofu was cutting clothes, Fang Wenjing and Xiaolan washed the tender peanuts they picked out when harvesting peanuts, boiled some salted peanuts, and just ate them at home these days.

After lunch, Tang Xiaofu went to the town to buy a radio with the small flower umbrella Leng Chenxu gave her.

On the way back, she saw that the old man who sold tofu was still setting up a stall in the storm, and one of the three meat stalls was also out of the stall.

This kind of bad weather still insists on coming out to set up stalls, it should be a heavy burden on the family.

Tang Xiaofu bought a lot of soy products from the tofu uncle, anyway, he can make some delicious food at home these days.

The old man was very happy and wrapped her in oiled paper.

Tang Xiaofu went to the butcher stall again and bought all the pigs, large intestines, small intestines, and pig's feet and ears of the meat stall owner.

Although the owner of the butcher stall repeatedly said that he didn't want money, Tang Xiaofu still paid according to the usual price of the goods from him.

The owner of the butcher's stall found a snakeskin bag and put everything she had bought into it so that she could easily access it.

Tang Xiaofu thought that Fang Wenjing and Xiaolan both liked to eat pork liver, so she cut another pound of pork liver and prepared to go back and stir-fry.

The owner of the butcher smiled and tied the pork liver with a straw rope for her to carry.

Tang Xiaofu returned with a full load.

After returning home, Fang Wenjing saw Tang Xiaofu buy pork liver and come back, so she went to the vegetable field to pick some sharp peppers and came back, ready to stir-fry pork liver with sharp peppers, and also brought back a handful of bamboo leaf vegetables and half a basket of red tomatoes.

Since the two Tang Xiaofu sisters came back, they can eat many tomatoes every day, which Fang Wenjing specially left for her two daughters to eat.
