Chapter 68: The Widow of the King of Righteousness
In Chen Xiuyun's endless admonitions, the family started to eat.
Wild vegetable cake with sweet potato and sorghum rice porridge, and a small bowl of shredded radish and pickles.
Wild vegetables can be made into more than just gnocchi, they can be made into a variety of shapes, and they can be formed by mixing them with the batter of whole grains.
Although Jiang Xinyu was full of food in the state-run restaurant, she was afraid that Comrade Chen Xiuyun would find out the clues, so she still drank another bowl of porridge.
"Why don't you eat bread?" Jiang Yuzhu asked, and Chen Xiuyun also raised her eyes and looked over.
Jiang Xinyu was confident: "I want to vomit when I eat wild vegetables." ”
The two have nothing to say, who doesn't eat wild vegetables until they want to vomit?
Xiao Hei has been eating wild vegetables lately, and he has lost a lot of weight.
At night, Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu squeezed a quilt, but it was warm.
"Sister, what are you doing these days?"
Jiang Yuzhu was about to fall asleep, and said in a daze: "Go to work." ”
Jiang Yuzhu fell asleep quickly, and Jiang Xinyu didn't have the energy for a few minutes, and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, after the captain whistled to the members to go to work, the mother and daughter went to work after eating wild vegetable cakes.
Although Comrade Chen Xiuyun is a teacher, not only does she have a few yuan every month, but she is also given full work points every day in class, but when she is not in class and on vacation, she also goes to work like the members of the brigade.
In two months, the winter wheat harvest will be completed, and the field that was just opened by the brigade last year will be used to plant peanuts and soybeans this year, and other fields that are not planted with wheat will also be planted with corn and sweet potatoes.
At this time, the crop yield is generally not high, because it still depends on the weather for food, and there are no various mechanical tools, at most there is only a tractor that pulls things back and forth and plows the land.
The tractors in the brigade were bought after a good harvest in the past two years, and they still owe money to the agricultural airport.
Jiang Xinyu was digging the ground with a hoe, but she couldn't straighten her waist after a while.
God, thinking that there is a great possibility of coming back to do farm work and earn work after graduating from high school this semester, Jiang Xinyu feels that there is nothing to love in life.
At school, I only work for half a day a day, earn work points in the brigade, and rest for two hours at most every day.
Of course, the sun at the beginning of March of the solar calendar will not be so strong, but Jiang Xinyu is sweating.
Seeing that there was a large group of young men helping Su Qingqing do her small piece of land, and Su Qingqing was sitting on the ridge to rest, Jiang Xinyu was really envious.
Chen Yi, come quickly, I need you!
Jiang Xinyu let out a silent cry in her heart.
It's just a pity that she didn't wait for Chen Yi to come until she went home at noon.
Jiang Xinyu dragged her heavy body into the courtyard gate, and Xiao Hei excitedly circled her and Jiang Yuzhu.
Chen Xiuyun said: "Don't go tomorrow for the two of you." ”
Jiang Xinyu's eyes lit up, and she listened to Comrade Chen Xiuyun continue: "Tomorrow you two will go and turn over the self-reserved land, and in a few days I will plant all the seedlings that have been raised." ”
Jiang Xinyu's lit eyes darkened in an instant.
If you don't do collective work, you have to work for your own family. In this land, it can only be surrounded by farm work?
In recent years, only grain crops can be planted in the self-reserved land, not cash crops, and the crops planted in the self-reserved land of every household are basically vegetables, and there is no shortage of eggplant, chili, beans, and cucumbers in summer.
The radishes and cabbage planted can be pickled into pickles, and they can be eaten for a year in a jar, and there are still a lot of pickles in Jiang Xinyu's jar.
"I left melon and watermelon seeds last year to see how many melons I can pick up this year." Chen Xiuyun mentioned melon seeds, and there was expectation in her tone.
At noon, it was wild vegetable cakes and porridge pickles, and before the afternoon work was finished, Jiang Xinyu's stomach began to gurgle.
Her life is really miserable.
Just as she was crying bitterly, Chen Yi arrived on the ground, holding a tea jar in his hand, and came to bring water to the widow Wang to drink.
"Chen Yi, why did you come back so early today?" There is an eldest lady who asks while working.
Chen Yi picked up the hoe and finished the work for the widow Wang who was drinking water, he said: "Recently, we went to interview good people and good deeds and typical examples of knowing mistakes and being able to change..."
He wasn't a talker, but he deliberately talked about the events of these days.
It's not every day that movies are played, as long as he doesn't show movies, he can come back early.
The team members were surprised when they heard it, they knew good people and good deeds, and someone in their village had been praised before, what could this mistake be corrected?
Mrs. Li, who was working over there, was tense, she buried her head and worked harder.
The team members asked gossip, and Chen Yi smiled and said: "Next Friday night, there will be a movie in the town, and you can watch everything you want, and you will know what's going on after watching it." ”
Some people regret it, "It costs money to show movies in the town, Chen Yi, you are from our team, when will you come to show a new movie?" You'll have to take care of our own team. ”
Chen Yi said with a smile: "I will definitely strive for it, and within a month, I will definitely let everyone see the newly sent film." "Even if it is to let Mrs. Li clamp her tail and be a person in the future, he will strive to let everyone in the brigade see the newly sent film.
Mrs. Li's head was pressed even lower, and she was full of thoughts, how could she be a person if she was embarrassed and thrown into ten miles and eight towns? What is so good about the movie, you have to watch it! A group of people who have never seen the world just want to kill her wife.
A group of people were talking nonsense, even if they were all working, Jiang Xinyu felt that Chen Yi was surrounded by people.
If you have this time to speak, can't you come and work for her? The villain in Jiang Xinyu's heart is forked in the waist.
After Widow Wang finished drinking the water, she took the hoe again, and before she could speak, she heard Chen Yi speak first: "Mom, I'll go and help Xinyu." ”
Widow Wang nodded, and there was no dissatisfaction in her tone, "Go ahead." ”
Chen Yi left, and a woman who didn't deal with the widow Wang said: "This is not married yet, Chen Yi is so good to the Jiang family's girl, and when you enter the door, your Chen Yi's heart can't be more biased?" ”
The widow squinted at the speaker: "If a man is not good to his daughter-in-law, who can he expect to be good to?" I know my Chen Yi, he is a filial piety, and it's useless for you to be red-eyed. Do you think I'll be mad at that girl if you provoke two sentences? This is making a lot of trouble, the family is angry, can life be good? ”
The provocative women comrades pursed their lips and stopped talking.
The widow snorted, turned her back to the woman, and worked.
In the morning, Su Zhiqing told her that Chen Yi bought a scarf for Jiang Xinyu, she was a little distressed, but she was not angry, because Chen Yi bought her a scarf during the New Year.
Her son is filial.
Recalling the scene of being tortured by her mother-in-law in the past, Widow Wang felt that if she treated her daughter-in-law the same as her mother-in-law treated her, then what was the difference between her and the old woman?
Widow Wang raised her eyes and saw Chen Yi take the hoe in Jiang Xinyu's hand and start to work, she pursed her lips and changed directions.
I don't look at it and I don't feel upset, I feel so distressed before I marry my daughter-in-law, and the widow Wang, who "understands the righteousness", still has a sour feeling in her heart.
