The sun in February is not big, and there is a spring breeze blowing from time to time, but the labor force is large, and the whole body is sweating.

Village Chief Zhang was afraid that these people would not be able to bear it, so he asked Tang Zangyue for instructions, and he would boil a big pot of mung bean porridge every day. I boiled it at home, put it in a few clean wooden barrels, and pulled it to the edge of the village with a donkey, where the loess was piled up, and when it was almost noon, people hurriedly scraped it.

At first, the people who scooped the mung bean soup were messy, but he roared twice, and the big guys lined up separately into two teams, men and women.

Village Chief Zhang roared: "What you want for food and daily money is set at the beginning, and it can't be changed later." But every day I am afraid that your physical strength will not be able to stand it, I specially said to the old lady, this is the mung bean soup to drink every day, don't be afraid of clear soup and lack of water, it is all a heart! ”

A man shouted with a big grin: "How can it! That proprietor is as generous as Dr. Tang? Some mung bean soup is good to drink! I'm still sweet when I drink it, Dr. Tang has not lost his blood! ”

Village Chief Zhang saw that the man had dark skin and an honest face, and wrote it down. said: "As long as you work honestly!" Hello to you will be indispensable in the future! ”

Meihua was lightly bumped by the aunt beside her, "Meihua, why do you say your strength is rising?" It's almost time to catch up with the man. Let your aunt touch your arm, maybe it's stronger than those men. ”

Plum blossom smiled simply, "Isn't this the time when you didn't have enough to eat and had to work?" Just let it dry and not give it food, even if the donkey comes, it can't pull the grind. Now that I'm in charge of the house, I want to raise a few mouths, but don't I have to hold on to myself first? When you are full, you have the strength to work, no. ”

Not to mention, the arms of plum blossoms are thin, but the flesh is really strong. Hearing Meihua say this, the aunt sneered, "It's your in-law who delayed you." ”

"Then again." The aunt diverted the topic, "I saw your four daughters a few days ago, and you picked them up cleanly, and you can do better than a man outside...... Hey, if you were my daughter-in-law, I wouldn't treat you like Mrs. Chen.

What happened to the birth of a girl? Dr. Tang said that it is a man's decision to give birth to a boy or a girl, and if you marry into our family, you will add a big fat boy to our family, so that you will not set up a household for the female doll in the family in the future. ”

It is easy to say that it is easy to set up a female household, but it is difficult to do it, you have to prevent being eaten out of the household, and you have to prevent the man from being bad. But it's too early to say now, the Chen family is so poor now, how can there be anything for people to watch? Can't plum blossoms earn a step and an Indy?

Meihua smiled, didn't respond, and buried herself in mung bean soup.

There is no shortage of beans at home, is she mixed with brown rice to make up for the winter chrysanthemum and winter plum at home. As for the two daughters, because she has no milk, every day when the sky is slightly bright, she is sent milk or goat milk by the twelve little masters of the first line of heaven, and she knows how to cook it, but she has to avoid people and surround the kitchen so that the gaps do not leak, so as to avoid the Cui family next door from smelling it.

In the past, how could she have thought of living such a life?

It was also the ghost door that was closed, and she knew what some people said, so just listen to it.

If there is no score, people may not be able to do it if they say it well.

is like the aunt in front of her, saying that she will treat her well, doesn't she take care of her family now, can take care of the children in the family, and can work hard outside?

The old lady was the one who really pulled her out of purgatory, she gave her food, taught her martial arts, and gave her and her children hope for the future......

She is a knife in the old lady's secret, as for the question of what to remarry, in her opinion, it is just one acre and three points of land, and she has a broader sky.

Seeing the plum blossom smiled, she didn't respond to her, the old woman secretly spitted, and was in a hurry to go back to make lunch at noon.

She kept the grain cabinet, for fear that she would hide and eat it with shallow eyes. Even if her daughters-in-law were brought by her to build the city wall together, her old body and bones could dig up the loess and come back and continue to cook.

Cooking is a simple job, wash all the ingredients and throw them into the pot, and when the fire is boiling, it is almost ready, and it is done. Don't think about how delicious things are, it's just such a simple thing, so that this aunt can be distracted and abuse plum blossoms: "What a thing!" If you drag your family with your mouth, you can't give birth to a belly with a handle, you really take yourself seriously! You are guarding the Chen family, we still can't look down on you! ”

As soon as the daughters-in-law approached, they looked at each other before pushing the door in.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was still angry, they really didn't dare to say it.

When the aunt saw the daughters-in-law who had already walked into the yard, she threw off the spatula and continued to scold: "Why are you still stunned?!" Why don't you come over and help?! I can't wait for you! ”

This anger ......

They waited until the meal was served before they conveyed Village Chief Zhang's words.

"Mother, the village chief said you, you don't have to go again in the afternoon......"

"Mother, you have settled the food for half a day."

"What!!" If it weren't for the high cost of food, the old woman almost dropped the dishes and chopsticks in her hand.

She scooped up her cuffs and said, "No, I have to go and talk to the village chief, I can't say nothing, I don't need it, right?" ”

"That's it! What a fool! The head of the house spoke and asked one of the daughters-in-law, "What is the reason?" ”

"The village chief said, don't cheat and play tricks."

"Why are you cheating? I'm not working! ”

No one said a word.

Just like you, carrying the loess for a morning, going home at noon to make lunch and shouting and scolding others, where is the strength?

Isn't it just cheating and tricking?

When the family: "Other people also have a half-day salary and tell them not to go again in the afternoon?" ”

"Yes, yes, and a few."

When the family groaned, they said, "Then stay at home." What about you? Can you still do this job? ”

"The village chief didn't say he didn't want us, we have to go in the afternoon."

"Okay, there's a job to do." When the family sees the wife's calm face, they know what the other party wants to do in private with their toes. He advised: "Okay, you can rest at home, they are all working under the village chief, you stop, don't lose their jobs because of you." If they work for a few more days, there will be more food at home, and food is important, or is your face important? ”

Old woman: "......" is angry, and she hasn't gotten anywhere yet.

She thought of the big mouth of the second sister-in-law Wang, and when she saw the second sister-in-law going to the end of the village in the afternoon, she hurriedly followed.

From plum blossoms to village chief Zhang, and finally to his own work.

She complained: "Erniu, you see this thing is making trouble, everyone is proud, and I am the only one who is deflated." It's not going to be easy......"

Second sister-in-law Wang only felt that this old woman was inexplicable. She's got a big mouth, but she's never been involved in anything else, right? Even the plum blossoms that her man used to miss, she avoided it and didn't see much excitement.

This old woman, where did she get the illusion, thinking that she not only likes to join in the fun, but also likes to be the wronged leader, support others and be reckless?
