Chapter 222: Drought
Zhao Xingxing looked at Lin Xi with a somewhat stunned gaze.
He heard that Lin Xi had returned to the village early in the morning, but he didn't expect to meet him at this time.
I haven't seen her for a few years, and she hasn't changed much from what she remembers.
His hair is simply coiled behind his head, he wears a black down jacket, and his face seems to be white and glowing.
It's just that the feeling is a little different, when those eyes stare at people, they seem to be able to see people's hearts, which makes people a little weak.
Shen Kang was originally holding his arms and closing his eyes to recuperate, but when the car didn't move, he opened his eyes.
At a glance, I saw the man standing in front of the car staring at his daughter-in-law, and his worried eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
"Drip-"
The sharp sound of the horn startled Zhao Satisfied, and then the whole person came back to his senses.
Seeing clearly that the man sitting in the co-pilot was staring at him with a smile, his heart panicked, and his body reacted one step ahead of his brain, and hurriedly moved to the side.
Watching the car drift away, suddenly a cold wind blew, and the head was a little confused because of the hangover.
Shaking his head, he raised his legs and walked towards home.
When they arrived at the door of the house, the car had already stopped at the gate of the Shen family, and the two families were only four or five families apart, and the sound of adults and children could be vaguely heard coming from the courtyard of the Shen family.
Zhao was satisfied with the ghost's spirit, so he stopped his steps to enter the courtyard gate.
If he had been a little more ruthless and asked for someone directly, would that woman have already married him now?
In that case, will his life be as happy as Shen Kang?
"Where did you fool around last night? Look at your depressed look like your dead father, my mother is annoyed when she sees it! A stout woman came out of the house, and when she saw his figure, she immediately raised her eyebrows and cursed.
"Let go of your mother's fart, I can do whatever I like, if I am not happy, go back to my mother's house, I feel disgusted when I look at your pockmarked face."
At the beginning, his reputation in the village was stinky, and no one in the neighborhood wanted to marry at all, and seeing that he was getting older and older, he had no choice but to marry an ugly and pockmarked woman.
Every time he ran errands, he had to turn off the lights, and he fantasized about Lin Xi's face before he could vent it.
"Zhao is satisfied with you, you are a bastard, now I think I am ugly, I don't know who came to my house to ask for a kiss and pretend to be like a grandson."
As the saying goes, if you don't hit someone, you don't expose your face, Zhao Satisfaction scolded her for being a pockmarked child, and the woman was full of anger, and bent over and bumped into him.
"My mother fought with you today!"
When Wang Cuihua came out, she saw her baby son being beaten by the mother-in-law riding on her body, is this worth it? Immediately rushed forward with an arrow step.
grabbed his hair with one hand, and greeted the woman's face unceremoniously with the other hand, and scolded in his mouth: "Stinky little prostitute, you hen who can't lay eggs dares to beat my son, see if the old lady doesn't kill you today!" ”
The woman was beaten hard, screamed and broke free from Wang Cuihua's hands, and then pushed the person to the ground with force.
Seeing the broom placed next to the courtyard wall, he grabbed it and beckoned to the two of them like crazy.
"If the family is black-hearted, is it really that the old lady can't give birth? Zhao is satisfied, let me tell you, my mother has already been to the hospital, and she is in good health, and it is you who can't give birth to children. ”
Originally, she still had a trace of nostalgia for the Zhao family and Zhao Satisfaction, so even if outsiders misunderstood, she kept helping Zhao Satisfaction hide it and didn't say it, but today the mother and son beat her together completely angered her.
"I can't live this day, divorce!"
Hearing her words, the mother and son of the Zhao family were stunned.
"Okay, you little prostitute, if there is someone outside, you will say it directly, you dare to pour dirty water on my son, you are satisfied with her, and you will tell you a better one after leaving your mother, and then we will talk about a yellow flower girl!"
……
"Whose family seems to be arguing?" Wang Xiuqin hugged her eldest granddaughter, and the fragrant and soft little milk voice almost melted her heart, and her eyes did not leave her since the child came back.
Even the character who usually likes to join in the fun, he doesn't have much heart to look at it when he hears the movement at this time.
"Who else can there be, Zhao is satisfied with being picked up by his mother, and the two are getting divorced."
Zhou Shuang pouted: "Zhao is satisfied with that soft egg, what the says is what, and there is no one who can do his part." ”
"His daughter-in-law is quite capable, and it's not good to have someone who can control him."
"What else can the Zhao family do besides grinding their daughter-in-law? It's better to separate as soon as possible if there are no children. ”
But in the end, it was someone else's business, and after everyone sighed, they quickly changed the topic.
"This year's harvest has been hard to pay the public grain, and there have not been two snows since the beginning of winter, and the situation will not be much better next year." Shen Bin said and sighed.
Since the planting in April, there has been little rain, and when the seedlings finally appeared, it rained extraordinarily large hail, and the seedlings that were replenished were much worse than before.
I thought it would be fine after this stubble, but it didn't rain for two months when the grout was filled.
"It's a blessing that it's not out of birth."
Although she had heard a few words from her father and eldest brother before, she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
"The children are back, and they should be happy, not to mention those who don't."
Shen Hongshan diverted the topic and beckoned everyone to sit down at the table and prepare for dinner.
Due to the large number of people, the Shen family put two tables.
A large round table was on the ground, and the other was a small square table on the kang, Lin Xi felt that it was the same everywhere, so he took a few children to the kang, which was also convenient for taking care of the three little ones.
After eating, the two of them took four children and two old men to the Lin family.
I haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, and the family's attitude towards the four children is not good, and several uncles are even struggling to hug them.
The three little ones are not frightened, especially the third Shen Xiaoxing, who is different from the calmness of the two elder brothers, nor is it like the squeamishness of the younger sister Shen Xiaobai, this child is crazy and tight.
After a while, he turned his head, and then he learned to talk with his grandfather behind his back, and everyone laughed for a while.
There were too many people in the house, and the sound was a little noisy, so Lin Xi simply moved a small bench to help the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law outside.
"Originally, I wanted to build a pigsty and set up a pig farm after selling grain this year, but this year's situation, not to mention the reduction in grain production, and the price is still jumping up, so I can only rest my mind first."
Song Zhaodi sighed as she spoke.
She and Lin Jianguo are not business materials, but they are willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, farm diligently, and raise a few pigs, and their lives are better than everyone else in the village.
Lin Xi remembered that the drought in her previous life was indeed quite serious, but at that time, she had already gone to the city without farming, so she did not have any profound experience.
The only thing I know is that the price of pork soared in the second year, and the amount of meat, which was originally only more than seven cents a pound, jumped to more than one piece, almost doubling.
It seems that because of the reduction in production in the whole county, the price of grain is naturally high, and the cost of feeding pigs has increased, and the price is naturally rising.
Farming in the village is not profitable, and many people have abandoned farming and gone out to work.
Song Zhaodi sighed: "It's really not possible, after the year, I will shoot two pigs first, and the child will be older, and then I will go out with your eldest brother to do some work, and I can always earn back the loss." ”
