Chapter 131: Stronger Than Her
"What is enough for a bowl of japonica rice? So many children in my family! Gao Shumei stiffened her neck and asked Village Chief Song to take special care of her for the sake of her lack of a man.
Village Chief Song said angrily: "What is not enough for a bowl of japonica rice?" Have you ever eaten japonica rice in the village before? ”
Some, like Gao Shumei, felt that the Lu family's unfair distribution of food lowered their heads.
In the past, they also planted rice in Dawan Village, but few families had ever eaten rice.
The rice that was planted was either taxed, or it was exchanged for cheap coarse grains and kept for a while.
lest there be a deficit at home when the green and yellow are not available.
"Is this for someone else? Is the water conservancy repair for the Lu family? Or did you give it to the Song family? ”
Village Chief Song said that he was scolding Gao Shumei, but he glanced at everyone: "This bowl of japonica rice can buy two or three lives outside, you can be content!" If you want to dislike a bowl of japonica rice, let me get out of the valley and go outside to make a living. ”
Gao Shumei's face was blue and red for a while, and she snorted: "It's really not easy for me to be an orphan and a widow. If you don't take care of it, you won't take care of it, and there's no need to scold me in front of so many people, right? Am I shameless? ”
After she finished speaking, she was still unwilling, and looked at the Cui mother and daughter on the side, "What about them?" We all have to work to eat, they"
Looking at the Cui family, Village Chief Song also showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
However, he quickly said fiercely: "Don't worry about the things that shouldn't be in your hands, how they arrange it, we have our own plans." ”
Gao Shumei glanced at Cui's mother and daughter jealously and vigilantly, took tools, and followed a group of women in the village to dig a ditch.
The other villagers also picked their own jobs and got busy.
The valley was busy, and even Xie Ziang and other children were not idle. Older children, go and make bricks.
Young children carry baskets and pinch wild vegetables in the wasteland.
Jiang Tangtang didn't sleep well last night, but he couldn't sleep after being woken up, so he simply took out the dried twine and took Lu Chenyan to make a fishing net with the hemp rope.
There are tutorials in the system to make fishing nets, and it is not difficult to learn. Jiang Tangtang quickly became decent.
She could even spare her energy to hear about it.
The only ones who are idle in the valley are probably only Cui's mother and daughter.
"Mother, are we going to stay in the valley with this group of villagers all the time?"
Guo Xinyi thought about the hardstone slab she slept on last night, the bushes she went to when she went to the toilet, and the wild vegetable porridge she ate this morning, she was about to cry.
Cui's heart was also at a loss, and he didn't know what Lu Shiyan's plan was to take their mother and daughter into the valley.
But on second thought, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than what happened yesterday.
She comforted her daughter and said, "If it weren't for Engong's rescue yesterday, we would have died by now, where can we still suffer in this valley?" It is a blessing to be able to suffer, which means that we are still alive and well. Let's go and help the villagers do some work, so as not to eat other people's food in vain. ”
She looked around, but she couldn't do any other work, and in the end, only the work in Jiang Tangtang's hands looked a little easier.
She took her two daughters and walked towards Jiang Tangtang.
Seeing a cute and loving child sitting next to Jiang Tangtang, Cui squatted down and teased: "This child is so cute, what are you doing?" ”
Lu Chenyan raised his eyes and glanced at her, and returned to his own world. She held the twine, and with a gentle rubbing of her little hand, it became a hemp rope.
He only saw Jiang Tangtang do it once, so he learned it, and rubbed it easily and skillfully.
He used it as a pleasure to add new twine to the rope and rub it evenly and long.
Seeing that Lu Chenyan was so rude, Guo Xuantong's eyes suddenly showed a touch of dissatisfaction, "Little friend, my mother asked you, you are very rude!" ”
Jiang Tangtang paused the book he was listening to, and then smiled at Cui's and said, "I'm sorry, my son doesn't need to be disturbed when he is doing things, and I ask my wife to forgive me." ”
"That's how you usually raise your children? You're hurting him like this, do you know? ”
Guo Xuantong felt that Jiang Tangtang was uneducated, and he couldn't educate his children at all. With such a person, where is she qualified to marry an immortal like her father-in-law?
If she had married Engong, she would never have raised children like her. She must feed her children as if they were her own and raise them to be the best people in the world.
"Xuantong, how do you speak?" Cui Shi gave his daughter an eye knife fiercely.
smiled and apologized to Jiang Tangtang: "This child has been spoiled by me, Lu Niangzi, you don't have to worry about her." Yesterday, thanks to Engong, our mother and daughter did not become the souls of those Xijon soldiers. ”
Jiang Tangtang looked at the mother and daughter and found that Cui's was indeed a little sincere. But the Guo Xuantong sisters were full of impatience on their faces.
She didn't really want to associate with a few people, so she said expressionlessly: "It's just a gesture, Madame doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
"Yes, this is a life-saving grace, my mother and daughter should keep it in their hearts and repay your kindness with their lives."
Jiang Tangtang glanced at Guo Xuantong, and said goodbye, she couldn't stand this repayment.
"Our mother and daughter don't know how to work in the fields, but the female celebrity can't bother us. Mrs. Lu, let's help you! ”
Cui Shi smiled, quietly pinched Guo Xuantong, and signaled her to be honest. Don't say anything you shouldn't be saying again.
Jiang Tangtang really felt that a few people should not eat and drink in vain in the valley, so he took out the remaining twine and distributed it to a few people, and let a few people rub the hemp rope together.
Guo Xuantong made up her mind in her heart to show her hand in front of Jiang Tangtang and let Jiang Tangtang know how powerful she was.
Her female red master is an old embroidery girl specially invited by her uncle from the capital, and I heard that she was released from the Hou Mansion. In the past, in the house, her master often praised her for being a good woman.
But when she got started, she realized that this was not as simple as she thought.
The embroidery skills that her master had taught her before were not used at all.
The twine was not as soft as the silk thread she used to use in the house, and she felt her hands hurt after rubbing it for a while.
And it looks like something so simple, but she rubs it with different thicknesses.
Especially when both of their sisters were not rubbing well, Lu Chenyan, a three-year-old child, rubbed quickly and well.
Guo Xuantong felt very shameless, she couldn't even compare to a child.
She threw away the twine in a huff and turned to run.
Cui Shi was embarrassed, and after laughing at Jiang Tangtang, he hurriedly chased after him.
She reprimanded in hatred: "What are you doing? Who made you wreak at Lu Niangzi? ”
Guo Xuantong was aggrieved and puzzled: "Mother, why are you whispering to please a village woman?" ”
Her mother is a dignified county lady.
Even if her father dies and the name of this county lady is gone, her grandfather's family is also one of the richest businessmen in Jiangzhou, and her status as a village woman is higher.
