Chapter 349 Summer Harvest and Summer Seeding
Tang Jianbin didn't leave, just sat on a rock not far from Tang Xiaofu's house with his back against a weak small pine tree, looked up at the direction of Tang Xiaofu's house, felt the cool night breeze blowing his hot body, and his ears captured Tang Xiaofu's soft and glutinous voice in the yard.
Her voice is so nice.
In the courtyard, Fang Wenjing asked Tang Xiaofu: "What is the matter with Jianbin's kid looking for you?" ”
Tang Xiaofu sat down on the small stool she was sitting on just now, and handed the thick notebook in her hand to Xiaolan: "He came to congratulate Xiaolan on being admitted to a key middle school, and gave this notebook to Xiaolan." ”
Fang Wenjing stretched out her head to look at the notebook in Xiaolan's hand, and guessed: "This book is so beautiful and thick, it shouldn't be cheap." ”
Tang Xiaofu nodded: "At least one more piece." ”
Fang Wenjing said: "This kid is really, why is he so expensive?" Isn't his family waiting for the money? ”
Tang Zhenhua approved a homestead in the team and wanted to build a new house.
Although their family bought the three west wing rooms of Wen Jing's family, the father and son were enough, but Tang Jianwen was too old, and if he wanted to talk about family affairs, he had to build a new house, otherwise his Tang family's reputation was so stinky, and the housing conditions were so poor, who would be willing to marry!
For this goal, Tang Zhenhua's father and son worked hard, and Tang Zhenhua even quit smoking for many years.
Although Tang Zhenhua is stupid and easily deceived by others, he is a good father, and he is not angry with a few innocent children because his child's mother betrayed him, but is working hard for his own children.
Tang Jianwen has also matured because of the changes in the family, and he is no longer the bastard who used to be a mother with milk, who listens to whoever gives him food, and he will play wherever Wu Chunyan points out, and now he has changed his mind and followed his father to work hard to grow crops, and sometimes he was embarrassed to meet Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter in the field, because he had bullied them before.
Tang Xiaofu said thoughtfully: "Maybe he thinks that their Tang family is sorry for us, so he thinks about making up for it at the first opportunity, so he will give Xiaolan such an expensive notebook." ”
Fang Wenjing said: "It's none of his business, to be fair, in the years we were in the Tang family, Jianbin didn't bully us, it was all Yinshuo who blamed him and made us misunderstand him, and it was pitiful for him to live in such a family." ”
Tang Xiaofu didn't want to say Tang Jianbin anymore: "That's his bad life, we can't take care of it, we just have to live our own lives, Mom, are we going to dig peanuts next?" ”
Fang Wenjing said with a smile: "It's still early, peanuts will not be harvested until at least a month later, but the rice should be harvested immediately, and then plant late rice, starting tomorrow, we will dig the sweet potatoes first, and when the sweet potatoes are dug up, we will harvest the rice and plant late rice." ”
Tang Xiaofu said: "When these jobs are done, I want to go to the city to do business and make money, and then come back to help when the peanuts are harvested." ”
Fang Wenjing readily agreed, the purchasing power in the countryside is poor, Tang Xiaofu's odd piece cloth business can only be sold once a week, and after a month, if it doesn't rain every Sunday, he can earn one hundred and eighty yuan, and when it rains, he will earn even less.
Now that it's a holiday, the eldest daughter will definitely earn much more if she wants to go to the city to earn money than in the countryside.
Because I have to get up early tomorrow to dig sweet potatoes, the mother and daughter went to bed early to nourish their spirits.
Tang Jianbin sat outside the courtyard gate of Tang Xiaofu's house for a long time, stood up and prepared to go home, and saw the light shining from the room where Tang Xiaofu lived.
He looked at the light for a full minute, and then walked lightly to the window outside the courtyard wall of her house, silently watching her room, and saw Tang Xiaofu's slender shadow reflected in the window with curtains, he couldn't move his foot, and watched the kerosene lamp in the room was blown out, and everything fell into darkness, so he was reluctant to leave.
The night in the countryside is not hot, it is comfortable to sleep in a big bed alone, Tang Xiaofu slept soundly all night, and was woken up by Fang Wenjing before dawn the next day, and the two sisters got up to dress and wash.
There was rhubarb at home to guard the door, Fang Wenjing didn't leave Xiaolan to watch the door, while the sun had not yet risen, it was cool to work in the morning, and the mother and daughter went out of the house and came to the field where sweet potatoes were planted to dig sweet potatoes.
The mother and daughter dug for a while, and Tang Jianbin came, and he didn't speak, but came to help dig.
Tang Xiaofu's mother and daughter were stunned for a moment, and then they looked around vigilantly, and found that Tang Zhenhua did not follow, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid that Tang Zhenhua would not give up on Fang Wenjing, so he approached Fang Wenjing by helping their family Xia Harvest.
Fang Wenjing walked up to Tang Jianbin and pushed him out of the field: "Good boy, your family has a lot of fields, you go to work for your family, our mother and daughter can do this work, I really don't need your help." ”
Tang Jianbin knew that Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he avoided him, and his heart was sour, and he smiled reluctantly: "That...... My aunt and two younger sisters called me when they were too busy. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Tang Xiaofu, she squatted on the ground and carefully picked out the sweet potatoes in the ditch that Fang Wenjing had hoeed with a hoe.
Tang Jianbin turned around and left, his back was lonely and lonely, which made people feel very distressed.
Tang Xiaofu's mother and daughter exchanged a helpless look, they would rather hurt Tang Jianbin's heart than accept his kindness.
The Tang family can't afford to mess with them, they are afraid that Wu Chunyan will know about the scolding, and they are afraid that Tang Zhenhua will take the opportunity to approach.
can live a peaceful life, who wants to quarrel with people every day, tired!
By seven o'clock in the morning, the mother and daughter had already dug two baskets full of sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes are particularly heavy, with more than 200 catties in one basket, and the mother and daughter carry them home in baskets together.
On the way, I met a villager who came home for breakfast after working in the morning, and saw her mother and daughter struggling to carry sweet potatoes to their home, so someone walked over to take a hand and said sympathetically: "It's really not easy for your mother and daughter to harvest in summer, why don't you call the child's two uncles to help?" ”
Fang Wenjing said: "If you can do it yourself, you won't trouble the child's uncle." ”
The villagers helped her mother and daughter deliver the sweet potatoes to the gate of the courtyard, sighed and shook their heads and left.
Who's hard work when the farm is busy is not done by the men and boys in the family, but Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter can only do it by themselves, what a crime!
Tang Jianbin watched from afar, even if he was distressed, he didn't dare to rush to help, people were disgusted and frightened by his help.
The mother and daughter went back and forth several times before they brought back all the sweet potatoes they had dug in the morning, and they were so tired and sweaty that they were sweating.
I haven't fed the pigs so late, the pigs are so hungry that they desperately hit the fence, Fang Wenjing's mother and daughter can't take a breath and are busy feeding the pigs, feeding the chickens, ducks and geese or something.
The Xiaofu sisters took advantage of Fang Wenjing's breakfast to carry a basket to cut grass for the rabbit to eat, and the rabbit was so hungry that they jumped in the hut.
Now there are no longer only four rabbits, two pairs of rabbits have given birth to two pairs of baby rabbits, a total of eight rabbits.
After cutting the grass and beating the pigweed, the two sisters were so tired that their clothes were all sweaty, but they didn't dare to take a breath, and fed the rabbits, so they washed their hands and faces and came to breakfast.
Fang Wenjing cooked a boiled egg for each of her two daughters, fried a bamboo leaf vegetable, made a tofu soup, and a small bowl of capers.
Xiao Fu scooped a spoonful of tofu and put it in a bowl, and asked in surprise, "This tofu was bought by my mother in the town early in the morning?" ”
"No, I bought it from the tofu seller at the door."
Xiaofu picked up a piece of tofu and put it in her mouth: "Now everyone can do business, so I picked out tofu to sell so early." ”
"It's cool in the morning." Fang Wenjing picked up the rice in his mouth.
After breakfast, the mother and daughter went to the field to dig sweet potatoes again, and dug until noon and lunch, and finally dug all the sweet potatoes, piled up in the yard, there were a lot of piles, and there were more than 1,000 catties by sight.
This is the first crop that Tang Xiaofu harvested when she came to this world, and she still has a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
When cooking at noon, Tang Xiaofu threw a few sweet potatoes and roasted them in the stove, and the roasted sweet potatoes were delicious.
At lunch, Fang Wenjing said the arrangement of sweet potatoes, 100 catties of dried sweet potatoes to be eaten as snacks during the New Year, and the rest will be picked up in the vermicelli workshop to exchange for some sweet potato vermicelli, and the family will not have to buy vermicelli to eat.
Tang Xiaofu peeled a hot roasted sweet potato and said: "Isn't it that nearly 100 catties of sweet potatoes are all replaced with vermicelli to eat, where can the three of us eat so much?" Mom stored the sweet potatoes well, and when the winter vacation came, I went to the city to bake the sweet potatoes and sell them, which could be sold at a high price! ”
Fang Wenjing thought of boiling bread and selling it in the summer, so she sold it at a high price, so she obeyed Tang Xiaofu's arrangement.
Next, to harvest the rice, the two uncles went out as a family to help them harvest and plant seedlings, which lasted more than ten days.
During the harvest and rice planting, Wu Weiguo and Old Man Leng came.
Of course, Old Man Leng didn't go to the ground, but went to the village to pick up dead branches with the old men who couldn't do the work in the fields, cook and help make the fire, there was no shelf at all, he was very kind, and no one in the village didn't respect and like him, except for the group of strange people in the Tang family.
Wu Weiguo helped Tang Xiaofu's family harvest and plant seedlings, and I don't know if there is usually no one to talk to, but now that he has the opportunity, he keeps talking.
People all over the fields thought he was noisy, how could a young man have so much to say! But because he is an old man Leng's orderly, and he is here to help, who is embarrassed to say him.
Wu Weiguo loves to work next to Tang Xiaofu the most, and keeps talking about the topic of Captain Leng, "We are Captain Leng" The words are not separated, just like a matchmaker selling the man he introduced to other people's daughters.
"Our regiment commander Leng has finished its training mission and returned to the city, otherwise it will definitely come to your house to help work this Sunday." Although Wu Weiguo is a chatterbox, he is not ambiguous at all when he does his work, and a large piece of rice has been cut down while he speaks.
The fragrance of rice is all around, and it is really pleasant to smell on a hot summer day.
"Our head Leng is very concerned about your affairs, and he always asks me about the situation of your family, and also tells me that as long as your family is in trouble, I will call him......"
Tang Xiaofu said speechlessly: "You don't have anything to call him, he is a soldier, and he has to work by himself, if I ask for leave because of my reasons, I will be full of disgust." ”
"Not really, but he can command others to help you solve your problems." Wu Weiguo glanced at Tang Xiaofu sympathetically with mentally retarded eyes, and continued to talk about Leng Chenxu.
As he was talking, he heard Tang Xiaofu say coldly: "You must love Captain Leng very much." ”
"Huh?" Wu Weiguo's gushing stopped abruptly, and he was so scorched by Tang Xiaofu's words that he came back to his senses for a long time, "How can two big men talk about love?" ”
"Why not?" Tang Xiaofu straightened up his waist that was about to break and beat it twice, and then cut the rice, "You see that you mentioned Captain Leng with a sweet face, and you are even more intoxicated than the eldest girl when she talks about her sweetheart, what are you not in love with him?" ”
Wu Weiguo was dumbfounded, and then quickly shut up, and didn't dare to mention the three words "Captain Leng" again, this misunderstanding is really too big!
Tang Xiaofu only felt that her ears were finally quiet, and she was about to be noisy by these words!
Old Man Leng worked for other people's families, but as soon as he arrived at the meal, he happily went back to Tang Xiaofu's house to eat, and people couldn't keep him even if they killed chickens and fish, so he thought Tang Xiaofu's food was delicious.
On the day of rice planting, Wu Weiguo and the old man came early in the morning, and the morning sun sprinkled on the two of them, making Tang Xiaofu vaguely remember the picture of Leng Chenxu stepping on the morning sun when planting rice in spring, and the golden light shrouded him, like the rising sun on the horizon, and the whole world was bright and beautiful because of him.
Sometimes when the seedlings are planted, Tang Xiaofu will be distracted, as if she is whispering to Jian Ming, Leng Chenxu looks at her from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally.
Actually, these two people were not there, and Jian Ming went back to his parents after the holiday.
Wu Chunyan, who had not worked in the field for many years, actually went to the field to harvest rice, which caused the villagers to be very surprised, and once thought that they were dazzled, and everyone speculated about the reason.
Many people think that now that her eldest son and Wu Caiyun have formed a family, it must be that Wu Caiyun will not let Tang Zhenzhong give money to Wu Chunyan anymore.
Wu Chunyan didn't have Tang Zhenzhong's salary in her hands, what could she do to show off in front of her second and third sons, and the second and third rooms saw that they couldn't get any benefits from Wu Chunyan, who was willing to support her, of course she had to work in the field.
I have to say that the thinking of the working people is strong, and they guessed the truth, the only thing that was wrong was that it was not Wu Caiyun who asked Tang Zhenzhong not to give money to Wu Chun, and Tang Zhenzhong's burden was too heavy to give it, which Wu Caiyun took the blame.
In other words, Wu Caiyun, the ace scumbag, doesn't even want a face, so how can she care about carrying a blame!
The villagers all said unkindly behind their backs, this is Wu Chunyan's retribution, who told her to be so vicious to Tang Xiaofu's mother and daughter before!
On the first day of Wu Chunyan's work in the field, she fainted in the field before she finished a morning, and she didn't know whether she was really dizzy or pretending to be dizzy.
When Ding Jiali made lunch at noon, Wu Chunyan woke up in time, which made Ding Jiali half angry, smashing bowls and basins at home, scolding and scolding: "An old immortal, he has a lot of eyes, he pretends to be dead when he works, and he is energetic when he eats!" Other people's old people are older than you, and they do everything inside and outside the home to help their children, and you only know how to enjoy happiness! Why are you so wolf-hearted! ”
