Floating Clouds-(16)

The scorching sun was scorching, sweat flowed down his cheeks, Xiao Yu raised his head and wiped his neck, and glanced at Jiang Zhidong who was digging potatoes in front, he bent over, holding a hoe, with a serious and resolute face, Xiao Yu wiped the sweat.

She lowered her head and picked up the potatoes neatly, she begged to finish it quickly, there are still a few days to take the college entrance examination.

The child was placed at her parents' house today, and Jiang Zhidong didn't let her come, but she thought that multiple people would hurry up, and she would follow.

I don't know if I have a child now and I hide in the house with my child most of the time, and now I can't stand the sun, and I feel dizzy as if I have heat stroke.

Their family's land was divided by the production team, and one acre of land was divided into four pieces, one of which was planted with seasonal vegetables, and the other was planted with some coarse grains.

When there is no rice to eat, coarse grains can also withstand hunger, and some time ago I harvested a batch of sweet potatoes back, and now I put them in the cellar at home.

The two husbands and wives were busy until the sky was completely dark, and then they packed up the potatoes, Jiang Zhidong picked up a big basket, watched Xiaoyu carry a small basket, and the two walked home together.

The night in late autumn is good, the sky is full and the moon is hanging high, like a navy blue curtain, dotted with twinkling stars, people can't help but be deeply intoxicated.

At the beginning of the night, people were not sleeping, the moonlight was sprinkled on the earth, and there was the sound of frogs chirping in the fields.

The grass and trees on the mountains in the distance turned black in the moonlight, and the grass on the path around them gently rippled with the breeze. Occasionally, a dragonfly will fly by.

It seems that it is night, but you can see the scenery around you clearly.

When the husband and wife arrived in the yard of their home, Jiang Zhidong put the basket in the yard and poured the potatoes on the ground, so that they could be blown by the evening breeze.

As soon as the sun comes out tomorrow, take some of the surface moisture away and take it to the cellar and save it for the kitchen to eat.

Xiao Yu also poured the small half basket she was carrying on the ground to dry it, and then went to press water to wash her hands.

"You go and get the kids back, I'll cook at home. ”

She spoke towards Jiang Zhidong.

"Good. ”

Jiang Zhidong took a handful of water and washed it on his handsome face, a little sweet and silky well water fell from his face one by one, he took another handful of well water and washed it on his face, washed his hands again, stood up and walked to his father-in-law's house.

The night was hazy, and the air seemed to be woven into a soft net, enveloping all the scenery inside.

Grass and trees, not as realistic as in the daytime, became a little blurry in his eyes, passing by a small courtyard, occasionally he could hear the sound of talking inside.

The door of a certain family is particularly lively, and the aunts who have been busy for a long time on weekdays don't seem to be tired at all.

Some of them sat on a small bench and chatted with the people around them, some stood there directly, chatting with the people around them, and there would be one or two men next to them, some squatting on the ground smoking dry cigarettes, and some quietly listening to the chatter of the group of aunts.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a faint smile, this place he had lived in for several years, there were disgusts and likes.

He once fell in love with this land, but later~

He shook his head.

This is half of his homeland, a place that he has loved and hated, with time and trivialities, maybe one day he will leave, he will also be old, when the time comes, all the good may stay in the memory, but in the end it is better to miss each other.

Lin Ya was talking to other sisters-in-law at the gate of the courtyard with the child in her arms, and saw Jiang Zhidong coming from afar.

The little potato in her arms was obedient, and when she saw her father coming, she happily stretched out her little hand to ask her father to hug her.

Jiang Zhidong greeted his mother-in-law and the sister-in-law around him, took the child, said hello to everyone, and turned around and walked home.

Before they could go far, the eldest sister-in-law of the Qi family's neighbor and Lin Ya spoke.

"Sister-in-law of the Qi family, it's not me who said, you have to tell Xiaoyu to guard this son-in-law of your family. ”

She looked at Jiang Zhidong's back.

"My family Zhidong has a good temperament, don't worry. ”

"What do you say, hey, by the way, I heard that there is a matchmaker in the next village who wants to tell the daughter of the widow Wang's family?

Lin Ya knew what she meant, and didn't want to say this, so she directly changed the topic and led the conversation to others.

"Tell the daughter of the widow's house, I think I've heard a little about this. ”

"Hey, do you know how the man's family is? I heard that the man's family is good, there are people in the supply society who work as men, and there are several acres of land, the people are simple, I heard that the man's appearance is not bad, and it is comparable to that of my family Zhidong. ”

Lin Ya opened her mouth and frequently praised the man, this news was that she went to the town to catch the market yesterday, met the former little sister, and listened to the little sister.

"By the way, Sister-in-law Tian, I heard that your mother's family has a daughter, who seems to be about the same age as the daughter of Widow Wang's family?

Tian's sister-in-law's real name is Xiao Shuang, and her husband's surname is Tian.

"My mother's family does have a niece who is about the same age as Wang Xiuxiu, and she is the daughter of my third brother's family, and she hasn't said she is close yet. ”

"I heard that the matchmaker who said goodbye to the Wang family in a few days is coming, do you want to go and inquire with her, and let her tell your niece that the conditions are good!"

As soon as she said this, Sister-in-law Tian was a little moved, anyway, she didn't have much work at home.

Lin Ya saw that her heart was moved, and continued to say how good the son-in-law that the matchmaker told the widow Wang's family was, how good it was, and finally pretended to leak her mouth and said that the last sentence of the widow Wang's style was not good, I don't know if her daughter will be like her.

At night, Lin Ya cleaned up the house, took a bath, and lay on the bed, looking happy, she thought that when the time came, she would stop the matchmaker and pretend to investigate, and then pretend to talk about the Wang family.

The matchmaker came to the door, and maybe brought the man's family to take a look.

Lin Ya didn't sleep with her eyes open, staring at the roof, and her husband on her side glanced at her.

"Why don't you sleep? What do you think?"

"Didn't think about anything!"

Lin Ya closed her eyes and ignored her husband, so she didn't want this man to know what she was thinking!

Didn't Wang Xiuxiu despise her son-in-law? Didn't she often speak ill of her daughter? How many times did she even cry about her stupid stupid girl?

She doesn't know!

Otherwise, look at who dares to bully her daughter!

When she thought of that, she hated it!

Why did you give birth to a girl who is so stupid and can't quarrel!

People say that when they see your chickens eating the vegetables in her vegetable field, they really eat them?

Why won't you refute it? Won't you scold back?

This time, you said that your chicken can quarrel with you after eating the vegetables in her garden, and you still let her, and she can be even more arrogant next time!

It turns out that Wang Xiuxiu is indeed more arrogant.

Lin Ya hated that in her heart, her daughter could bully and scold herself, but others couldn't!

She is not a good person in the first place, she is a mother-in-law with a broken mouth, and an unreasonable mother-in-law, and she will go to sabotage when the time comes!

Anyway, what she wants to say is the truth, and the widow has a problem with her style.

Thinking like this, I was in a good mood and hurried to sleep.
