Chapter 16: I see

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, early in the morning, it was almost a man on his back.

Liu Xuemei was going to work, so she took the lunch box and brought the only steamed bun with sorghum noodles left from last night.

I left in a hurry and took two days off, but there was no bonus this month.

Liu Xuemei can not be in a hurry.

Jiang wheat and Jiang millet can clean up by themselves, and after eating a bowl of paste, they went to school with their schoolbags on their backs.

The broken schoolbag made Jiang Xiaoqiao sad.

In their own era, those children carried all kinds of good-looking schoolbags, and even schoolbags with trolley suitcases, but Jiang Mai and Jiang Xiaomi in this era carried a rag and sewed a cloth schoolbag by themselves.

Still happy.

Poor child.

The rest are Jiang Xiaogu and her.

Jiang Xiaogu didn't need her to take care of her at all.

I got out of bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and ate.

Also washed the dishes.

Jiang Xiaoqiao felt that she was a little incompetent.

Jiang Xiaogu looked at the eldest sister whose eyes were revolving around him, and asked curiously, "Eldest sister, don't you paste cardboard boxes?" ”

Usually, this is the work that Jiang Xiaoqiao started doing as soon as she got up.

At that time, Jiang Xiaoqiao cherished this as her life, and she couldn't wait to take it all the time without eating for a day.

Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at the cardboard boxes piled up in the corner.

That's what she does.

There's no need to rush now.

She is not a real Jiang Xiaoqiao needs to rely on this meager income to please her mother-in-law's family, these jobs that can be done at any time, she doesn't have to do it today, the top priority now is to solve this month's problems.

I'm going to starve to death, and I still have time to take care of the pasted cardboard box.

Shake your head.

"Today, the eldest sister will not paste the cardboard box, you and the eldest sister will go to the vegetable field over there in the mortuary to have a look, let's see if we can pick up some vegetable leaves, so that we can have vegetables to eat at noon!" Good no good? ”

It's not that she uses child labor, it's that she really can't help it, and she doesn't know the road very well.

There was no one to lead the way, and she didn't know where the vegetable patch was.

Jiang Xiaogu was a little scared, "I'm scared in the mortuary, I'm scared big sister!" ”

Jiang Xiaoqiao comforted the little girl.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, you just take the eldest sister to see it from afar, and then you will come back. All right? ”

If you have a request, you can't help but bow your head.

Jiang Xiaogu finally nodded in agreement.

Two people went out.

Jiang Xiaoqiao found a woven bag, the kind of bag with two carrying straps.

The two men locked the door, and the key was hung around Jiang Xiaogu's neck by a rope.

was supposed to be hung on Jiang Xiaoqiao's neck, but Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't want to live or die.

Jiang Xiaogu immediately felt trusted by his eldest sister, and hung up with confidence, and repeatedly said that he would never lose it.

The appearance of a little adult made Jiang Xiaoqiao smile enough.

One big and one small went out.

I didn't see anyone along the way, I mostly went to work, and now there is really no one in the row house.

The two of them walked all the way to the vicinity of the morgue under the various introductions of Jiang Xiaogu's mouth and hanging river.

Jiang Xiaogu said that he would not move forward with anything.

Jiang Xiaoqiao understood, because she only now understood what the morgue meant.

The mortuary is the morgue behind the staff hospital here.

It is a place to park the dead.

So it's very scary here, and it's no wonder that children like Jiang Xiaogu don't want to go.

Jiang Xiaoqiao was not afraid.

The first vegetable patch was still far from the morgue, across a dirt road.

Second, a poor person like her will be afraid of the morgue, she is a person who has died once, is she still afraid that Lord Yama will take her away again.

So, let Jiang Xiaogu go home along the road and wait for herself, and she went to the vegetable field by herself.

Scattered in the field, a few women with scarves and masks are harvesting cabbage.

In many places, the fields are empty, and the ground is full of vegetable leaves.

Her sudden appearance was seen.

I don't care.

Because Jiang Xiaoqiao found that there were a few people in the distance who were also dressed like her, women and children secretly glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads, blushed and picked in the ground, and stuffed vegetable leaves into their pockets.

It seems that she is not the first.

Jiang Xiaoqiao was more relieved now.

A woman close to her was chopping cabbage with a machete.

When he saw Jiang Xiaoqiao, he said.

"All the cabbage has been harvested here, you can pick it up casually!"

The tone is kind.

Jiang Xiaoqiao hurriedly thanked her.

After all, people here have the final say.

The woman smiled and walked to the vegetable patch in front of her to continue working with the women.

The cabbage is neatly stacked on the edge of the vegetable patch.

Jiang Xiaoqiao began to turn over the vegetable leaves on the ground, and saw that the fat was big, and the clean ones were picked up and stuffed in bags.

As I walked, I saw a cabbage.

Yes!

She thought she was dazzled, but people here said that it had been harvested.

Could she be wrong?

walked over, flipped through it carefully, it was indeed an intact cabbage, and then looked over there, no one paid attention to her.

Jiang Xiaoqiao suddenly woke up, this was the woman who collected the vegetables, after all, one person is responsible for several plots of land, and there is always a place that cannot be taken care of.

And this vegetable field is public, but now it is all collective land, and the work is also for the public.

People won't be so meticulous.

There's always something missing.

Jiang Xiaoqiao felt that her decades of experience were not calm.

When my eyelids are shallow to this extent, my heart can beat faster when I see a cabbage, and I don't know where to put my hands and feet.

This is too unreasonable.

This is cabbage, and it is said that the vegetable station costs a pound and two cents.

In so many fields, there must be a lot of cabbage missing, does this mean that their family's vegetables can be solved this winter.

But there's another question, whether she's a thief or not.

That's hesitant enough.

She hadn't encountered something so tangled in so many years.

If someone jumps out and says it's stealing, it doesn't look good.

People are poor and short-minded, but they can't steal.

It's certainly not going to sound good with such a reputation on your back.

She thought that she was picking up vegetable leaves, and she really didn't want to steal vegetables.

What to do?

To take it or not to take it.

It's a dilemma.

Jiang Xiaoqiao really couldn't ignore it, and she couldn't get up.

In the end, Jiang Xiaoqiao took the cabbage, which was obviously smaller, and touched the woman who was talking to her just now.

People are still working on the cat's waist.

"Auntie, I picked up a cabbage in this field!"

She still got to the bottom of it.

Look at people's reactions, if they care, then take them away, and I didn't say anything.

If............

People always take chances.

The woman looked at the cabbage in Jiang Xiaoqiao's hand and smiled.

"You take it, there are a lot of such half-sized cabbages in this vegetable field, which we specially pulled down, and those who pick up vegetable leaves are also difficult at home, and we see not very good cabbage, a little wrong, or bad, or too small, will stay, it is not easy for everyone, anyway, this is not our family's land." Nobody said it. Go ahead! ”

Jiang Xiaoqiao hurriedly thanked her.

Turning around, the fingers holding the cabbage were a little trembling.

I see, I see.
