Splendid peasant girl busy farming

"Visited three times?" Yang Ruoqing was a little surprised. She had never heard of the relationship between the aunt and the old lady of the Liu family before. They visited three times in one go. This is a good relationship!

It’s indeed the same type of bun as Sun’s...

Blacksmith Luo, who was driving the donkey cart in front, suddenly turned his head, gave Yang Ruoqing an honest smile, and explained: "Your aunt and the old lady from the Liu family are from the same place."

"Really speaking, your aunt has to call the old lady of the Liu family cousin."

"Ah? So Auntie and Mrs. Liu still have this kind of relationship? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

I thought that my aunt often visited the Liu family’s old lady just out of kindness, but I didn’t expect that their natal families were related.

"My cousin and my niece are very close!" Yang Ruoqing said, "Just like the children of my cousins ​​and I, they are our relatives!"

Since they were relatives, why didn't Wang Cuilian visit her cousin frequently in the years before Mrs. Liu's death?

Wang Cuilian smiled a little bitterly and said: "My cousin is a cousin, and my natal father and her are direct cousins, just like the relationship between you and Yongjin Yongzhi."

"It's just that my cousin was given away when she was born. She didn't grow up in our family at all. In addition, my father passed away early, and my mother took me to remarry two families..."

"Let's put it this way, even if they are related by blood, there is no affection."

"Even though I later married into Changping Village, during the most difficult years, she gave birth to seven sons in the village. She was very strong, but I didn't see how she helped me..."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing frowned.

Twenty years ago, there were a few old ladies in the village who were not easy to deal with. They could even be said to be a nuisance to Changping Village.

If there is a missing cucumber in the vegetable garden, it will chase you to your door and scold you for two hours.

The old lady of the Liu family is one of the evils.

But this topic was deliberately not discussed by Lao Yang's family.

He even pretended not to understand what Jixie meant.

why?

Because the chief among these evils is none other than the Tan family of the old Yang family.

Now, only Tan, the leader of the evils, is still alive and kicking, while the other evils are basically dead...

"Old Mrs. Liu used to treat you badly, aunt, but you can still visit her when she is sick in bed. You can respect your conscience." Yang Ruoqing said.

Wang Cuilian sighed: "Hey, that's right."

"However, I visited her three times, and she held my hand and cried, saying how her seven sons and seven daughters-in-law treated her so harshly..."

"I can't take care of this kind of thing as an outsider. I can only bring her some food."

"The last time I went back to see her, she was so skinny that she had trouble talking to me. She told me that she hadn't eaten for two days, and that she overheard her son and his wife discussing how they were going to starve due to floods this year. , saying that her son-in-law wants to starve to death like her, an old lady who can’t do any work..."

Therefore, the old lady is most likely to starve to death.

The people on the donkey cart were silent.

One mother can raise seven children, but seven children cannot support one mother.

I used to think that this sentence was exaggerated and fabricated by the world, but now it seems that it really has some truth.

Maybe this is human nature.

Some people are born selfish.

Not to mention starving to death in such famine years. In the past, during the turbulent times of war and precarious situation, the common people were starving and red-eyed. In order to survive, they were reluctant to do anything to their own flesh and blood, so they exchanged children with others for food...

It can be seen that although these people are born as humans, they are not as good as beasts in their bones.

Helpless and sad.

The air suddenly became a little dull, until everyone shouted to Yang Ruoqing: "Mom, am I a child?"

Yang Ruoqing took out her handkerchief and wiped the remaining snack crumbs from Tuantuan's mouth.

On the way just now, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were carrying snacks in their hands. "Of course you are a child, what's wrong?"

"Mom, are you a child?"

"Mom has grown up and is an adult."

"Mom, when I grow up, I am also an adult, right?"

"Yes, why do you ask that?"

"A mother-in-law said before that I was a kind-hearted child and I will be a good boy when I grow up."

"I want to say that when I grow up, I will be a good person and an adult, and I will no longer be a child."

Tuantuan corrected and emphasized this point to Yang Ruoqing very seriously.

Yuanyuan nodded beside her, "Brother is right."

Yang Ruoqing smiled. No wonder when the adults were discussing the old lady of the Liu family, the two little brothers had their little heads stuck together and kept chattering. They must have been discussing this issue, right?

"That mother-in-law used the wrong words, you are right." Yang Ruoqing said to Tuantuan.

But I said in my heart that he is indeed a child, he is just simple and innocent.

In the adult world, receiving a 'nice guy card' is not a good thing.

Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian both praised the reunited little brothers, and the previous depressive atmosphere was instantly swept away.

Halfway through Heba, Li Lao Er and Li Lao San came face to face.

Li Laoer was pulling a two-wheeled wooden cart. The pine hair, dead branches and leaves on the wooden cart were piled nearly two meters high. Ropes were used around the front and rear of the cart to secure it tightly. The heavy firewood weighed down the wooden cart. The wooden wheels of the car made a crunching sound on the loess ground.

Where the road surface is slightly soft, whenever a cart passes by, it will leave two clear and profound wheel marks, winding from the foot of the mountain to the direction of Changping Village...

Li Laoer was pulling the cart in front, lowering his head and bending his waist like a bow.

Li Laosan was pushing behind, carrying a bamboo basket on his back. He didn't know what was packed in the basket, but it was also covered with a piece of blue-bottomed white floral cloth.

I heard Li Laosan shouting 'Uncle Luo...'

Li Laoer raised his head and saw clearly the person coming across from him, with a simple and surprised smile on his face.

He parked the cart in place, strode towards the donkey cart, and greeted Shun next to him.

Blacksmith Luo also reined in his donkey and sat in the car talking to Li Laoer and the others.

"Are you going to deliver firewood to my father-in-law's house?"

"Well, my father-in-law has a bad waist and can't get firewood. My brother-in-law is also busy. It's getting cold now. I need a lot of firewood, so I'll send some over."

Send some?

Yang Ruoqing looked at the firewood piled high and tightly on the cart.

Li Laoer, you are too modest. What's the point?

This is obviously 100 million points!

Blacksmith Luo looked at the firewood on the cart. As an old farmer, he could tell at a glance that this firewood was first-class!

"Second brother, you are interested. Your father-in-law will definitely be happy when he sees this cart of firewood."

Li Laoer smiled sheepishly.

"This is what I should do as a senior."

At this moment, Li Laosan also came over, smiling, and came to talk to Tuan Tuanyuan.

The two children called him brother.
