Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 9731
Wanghai County, Changping Village.

The Luo family had finished eating and drinking. Luo Tiejiang and Yang Huaming drank tea and chatted with Lao Yangtou.

After eating, Lao Yangtou told Yu Xingkui: "You followed me to the county town for ten days, and you couldn't go back to see your mother during the Double Ninth Festival. Today I will give you a vacation, so you can go home and have a look." Mother, come back tomorrow."

Yu Xingkui was very moved, but he was still a little worried. The old man said, "Who will take care of you when you sleep and thirst at night? How about I come back after dark?"

Old Yang smiled and patted his thigh: "I can move freely, and I don't need anyone to wait around at night, so you can stay at home with peace of mind. You two haven't seen each other for a long time, I guess I also suppressed a lot of whispers to say, haha, I have been young as an old man, I am not a person who does not understand style!"

Look, there's no drinking here, and the men get together and can make nasty jokes while talking.

At that moment, Yu Xingkui smiled embarrassedly.

Luo Tiejiang and Yang Huaming also smiled tacitly.

Fortunately, the women were not in the main room, otherwise, it would be embarrassing.

Of course, when the women are in the main room, it is impossible for Old Yang to make such jokes, the old man still has some sense of propriety.

After Yu Xingkui laughed, he said: "There is no whispering, we are old couples at this age... I just want to go back and see the old and the young, and send some medicine to the old lady by the way."

"Understood, we all understand! Just go back and come back tomorrow!" Lao Yang patted Yu Xingkui on the shoulder and smiled heartily.

Yu Xingkui's wife is not his original spouse.

His original spouse died in the great plague more than ten years ago, and even the children of his original spouse were gone.

A good family, because of a sudden plague, the family was so ruined that it almost broke up.

Fortunately, Yu Xingkui's mother and son survived later, and were introduced to marry the current wife.

The mother-in-law was several years younger than him, and her stomach was strong. Not long after entering the house, she gave birth to a son for him, and she re-established a complete family.

Especially in the past few years, Yu Xingkui spent most of his time here in Changping Village to take care of Lao Yangtou, leaving all the work at home to his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at home with their children, focusing on vegetable gardens, cotton and wheat, and raising some chickens and ducks. I heard that they even raised a pig this year.

This small life in the family has been prosperous, and the son has gradually grown up, and the days are getting better and better.

"There is a pack of red dates on my table, you take it back with you and make soup for your mother." Old Yang told Yu Xingkui again.

"These women are getting old, and they want to eat more red dates and other things that nourish qi and blood in this cold weather. You take them there, don't be so polite to me!"

Yu Xingkui knew that Old Yang was arrogant, and he told you that you had to take it, otherwise he would feel that you were unhappy, and he would not want to deal with you in the future.

So Yu Xingkui did not refuse too much at the moment, and left after thanking him.

After Yu Xingkui left, the old and young men continued to chat and make daily life.

Lao Yang didn't stay in the village for the first ten days, and he was very curious about the big and small things in the village, so he asked the old blacksmith hard, and the things here and there were really lame. It feels like there is no such thing as endless talk for three days and three nights.

Yang Huaming sat on the side, drinking tea, smoking dry cigarettes, grabbing peanuts on the table from time to time, eating melon seeds and so on, Erlang's legs changed from left to right, and from right to left. It felt like this time The village is really comfortable and comfortable everywhere.

"Oh, by the way, this Yongjin should have had dinner, why don't you come over to chat?" Yang Huaming just asked his doubts when Xiuhong came over.

"Second girl, what are you doing here? Where's your father?" Yang Huaming asked.

Xiu Hong called out crisply: "Fourth Grandpa."

Then he shouted respectfully to Old Yangtou and Blacksmith Luo: "Grandfather."

"Grandpa Luo."

Only then did he turn around and answer Yang Huaming's question: "Back to fourth grandfather, my mother sent me to borrow things from my aunt. My father went to my uncle's house to help shovel the pigsty after dinner."

Yang Huaming: "Huh? You're so hardworking, you don't rest for a while when you get home today!"

Old Yang said: "Do you think everyone is like you?"

Yang Huaming grinned and waved at Xiuhong, "Your Aunt Qing'er is in the kitchen in the backyard, you can go find her."

Xiu Hong smiled and thanked her, then turned to look for Yang Ruoqing in the kitchen in the backyard.

Here, Yang Huaming said to himself: "Yongjin is really hardworking, and he doesn't dislike working. Shoveling the pigpen is dirty and tiring!"

Old Yangtou said: "This shows that Yongjin is a good character. Since he is married to his eighth younger sister, he must treat his eighth younger sister well."

"The Sun's family is understaffed. Your Uncle Sun is getting old. The work of such a big pig farm falls on the shoulders of Xiaojie's father and his wife. They are both 50 years old. It is definitely not as good as when they were young. Make."

The eldest Sun couple is older than Sun and Yang Huazhong. Yang Huazhong is already fifty-two this year, and Sun is 48.

Aren't Dasun's couples both in their fifties and going to six in a few years? How can they still fight like they were young!

"I heard from Qing'er that she persuaded her uncle and aunt. Dajie and Xiaojie also meant the same thing. They told them not to start a pig farm in another year or two and rest at home."

Blacksmith Luo also took up the conversation and said: "But they have been in this business for more than ten years, and they can't take time off. Qing'er and the others said that if you really can't take time off, you have to take care of the pig farm. , then please ask two people to come over and help."

Old Yangtou nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, please help, otherwise, the three of them will take care of the dozens of pigs, no matter whether it is cold or hot, they are too tired!"

Not to mention anything else, just dozens of pigs shovel the pigsty every day, and it is a laborious task to transport the feces and the like from the pig farm.

If you don't shovel it, it will definitely not work. The pigsty is too dirty. Pigs are prone to get sick and die young if they live in such an environment.

Dozens of pigs are sick to toss the owner, and death is a direct monetary loss.

So raising pigs is not easy, you have to do your best. I heard that when there are many mosquitoes and sweltering heat in summer, the Sun family will take turns going to the pig farm to pour well water on the pigs to cool them down. We eat it to cool down...

The old grandson was often so tired that he couldn't straighten up, so he lay down at home.

"I'm too tired. If I can't do it, I really need to hire someone, but I'm afraid they will feel sorry for the money." Old Yang said again.

Yang Huaming said: "I can't make too much money myself, and I have to spend a lot of money to hire someone. I guess I am reluctant to hire someone."

Everyone sighed, but after all, this is a matter of the Sun family, and the final decision must be made by the Sun family themselves.

The conditions of the Sun family are actually very good. Sun Zi Dajie is a Juren, and now he is a county magistrate in Huguang County.

The son-in-law Zhang Ban is also a Juren, and he teaches in the school in the town, and he is the face of the school.

Not to mention granddaughters and grandchildren, of course, just a little bit leaking through the cracks of each finger is enough for the old grandchildren and the others to enjoy their old age.

But his personality is that he can't sit still, and he is used to doing work, so there is no way!

"Let's not talk about them, we are the same. You see, the third child of my family, with such good conditions, other people would have enjoyed the blessings long ago. He still manages hundreds of acres of cropland. When he goes to the field when the farming is busy Even earlier than the helpers, all meals are settled in the fields!"

As soon as Old Yang's voice fell, Yang Huaming shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

"Father, if you want to say that, isn't the brother blacksmith sitting in front of us doing the same?" Yang Huaming said.

"Tang Yazi, that is Da Qi's God of War, the dignified general who protects the country, he has been conferred a title long ago, he is a loyal and brave Marquis, the real Marquis!"

"But the big brother blacksmith still takes care of the fish pond? Every year when the pond is released to catch fish in the twelfth lunar month, the big blacksmith wears leather pants and carries a net bag, and goes into the water to catch fish with the workers. Not worse than a young man, right Brother Blacksmith?"

Blacksmith Luo blushed when Yang Huaming praised him so much.

He smiled and waved his hands, with a trace of white foam remaining on the corner of his mouth, and he said repeatedly: "Don't say that, I can't stand the compliment, I am a restless person, destined to work, one day If you don’t let me work, I’ll be in a bad state for a day!”

Old Yang leaned over and patted Blacksmith Luo on the shoulder vigorously: "A strong body is the foundation of everything. I would rather have a tired body than lie sick in bed and enjoy happiness!"

The topics of conversation between the young and old in the front yard are completely different from those of the women in the kitchen in the backyard.

Just like the kitchen in the backyard at the moment.

Yang Ruoqing took some red beans and candied dates for Xiuhong to take home.

After Xiuhong left, Mrs. Liu was still lying on the door of the stove and looking around ghostly, making sure that the child had really gone far away, then she shrank her head stiffly, and said to Yang Ruoqing, "This eighth sister sent Xiuhong to borrow red beans." What are you going to do with the candied dates? Shouldn’t you be sending them to Li’s Village again?”

"Do you know, Qing'er, when people outside talk about Bamei and Lijiacun, what they say is really ugly. Now even outsiders are saying that Bamei and the others have raised a daughter and put themselves in it. Said that Li Wei has not done anything in the past six months, and he has not taken care of the farm work at home, and just guards embroidery every day, holding his wife's clothes to eat soft food!"

Yang Ruoqing frowned: "Fourth aunt, what those people outside say is their business, don't take these words seriously, let alone spread these words to the second sister-in-law, no one will listen to these words!"

Mrs. Liu shook her head: "I have accepted the lesson from last time, and I dare not say anything to your second sister-in-law."

"In her mind now, Xiuxiu and Li Wei are the closest people to their second wife, not our relatives!"

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyelids and glanced at Mrs. Liu: "Isn't it normal for the second sister-in-law to treat you that way? Your family also has daughters and sons-in-law, and fourth aunt. Could it be that you put your daughter and son-in-law as the closest to you? "

With these words, Mrs. Liu was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Liu waved her hand, and said a little discouraged: "Hey, I won't tell you anymore, you are just trying to argue with me."

Yang Ruoqing sorted the favorite dishes into the cupboard, and at the same time said to Liu Shi in a calm tone: "This is not arguing with you, it is a fact."

"If my daughter and son-in-law don't live up to expectations, and now the raw rice is cooked, they are a family, and outsiders are outsiders."

"It's the same in every household. In the future, if the second elder brother and second sister-in-law are sick or old, I believe that they will be serving them at the bedside, not the relatives of the same family."

"So fourth aunt, don't compete with those people outside who bite your tongue. People who chew their tongues are all the same. Who in this world doesn't want to seek benefits for their children? They are all the same, big brother, don't laugh at second brother!"

Liu shi went to Yang Ruoqing's place to talk about these gossips, but she didn't expect to run into a wall. Her face was embarrassing, and her spirit suddenly became not so good.

Looking around, yawning non-stop, bored, sleepy, wanting to go back to sleep.

Out of the corner of Yang Ruoqing's eyes, she saw the changes in her fourth aunt.

She knew in her heart that the fourth aunt was a little unhappy, because when she talked about the second bedroom with her these two times, not only did she not get a positive response from her, she was even criticized by her for asking her to talk less about the second bedroom.

Not only Yang Ruoqing was like this, but Zhao Liuer was also like this two days ago, Zhao Liuer not only took care of the second room, Zhao Liuer even took care of Liao Meiying.

That's why Mrs. Liu feels very uncomfortable these days.

But even so, Yang Ruoqing would not change her attitude to make do with the fourth aunt.

I'm talking about gossip, you can just talk about other people's families, don't always target Lao Yang's family.

Yang Ruoqing doesn't like to gossip about her family, it's not good for maintaining the family's superficial peace, so she absolutely won't settle for this kind of behavior of the fourth aunt.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing said with a more emphatic tone: "There is a saying, whoever talks about right and wrong is right and wrong."

"Fourth aunt, you and fourth uncle, as well as second brother and second sister-in-law, are the same relatives to our third bedroom and the Luo family, and it doesn't matter who is close or who is far away."

"Outsiders say bad things about Xiao Erfang, no matter what the inside story is, as a member of Lao Yang's family, it is our responsibility to maintain Xiao Erfang. I hope you can understand this truth!"

"Hey, it's good that I didn't hit the rocks, defending them? I don't, defending them, the mother and daughter don't know how to be grateful!"

Yang Ruoqing slammed the door of the vegetable cupboard, turned around and scolded Liu Shi with a cold face: "What kind of gratitude do you want from others? People in the village used to say that you were wrong outside, but the second sister-in-law heard it. Pull up your sleeves and argue with people face to face, and I will fight for you!"

"What about you? You're like this? Isn't this an inside bar?"

Liu's eyeballs rolled, "Ah? Is there such a thing? I, why don't I know?"

"Fourth aunt, there are many things you don't know!"

"Huh? When did that happen? Why haven't you guys mentioned it?"

"What happened when Xiaojuan was still in the village at that time," Yang Ruoqing said, "Because it involved Xiaojuan, I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable if I told it, so everyone tacitly didn't mention it."

"But outside, whoever dares to compare you with Xiaojuan, then our old Yang family will definitely defend you when they hear it. This is a must."

"So Fourth Aunt, you should stop avenging your private revenge and mock the second wife by gossip, okay?"
