Hard times have room

Chapter 616 Li Family Dispute
Watching her parents leave, Pauline continued to sit back and cut the sweet potatoes.

The peanuts at home have been dried before, a total of 110 pounds of peanuts, the harvest is very good.

This is the value that their family didn't dare to say. If someone asks, they will directly say that it is a few dozen pounds. If there is a root cause, it is said that it is fifty or sixty pounds. Anyway, the real number can't be said.

Because there was too much food at home, Wang Jiandang also went to someone to buy another big tank, which was specially used to hold dried peanuts and sweet potatoes. Now these peanuts are his heart and must be kept safely. He got the jar and the peanuts into his own house. Like Paulin's house, he dug a big hole and buried it safely. Only then did he feel relieved.

Not all of them were buried in large tanks. In fact, only 52 catties were buried, and the remaining [-] catties were put in the back room for the family to eat. Eat a few eggs every day as if they were eggs , to supplement nutrition, the remaining space in the large tank is used to hold dried sweet potatoes.

In the past two days, the collectively planted land in the village was completely dug up. At the same time, three army green trucks entered the village that afternoon, and many people went to see the majestic cart.

There were two people in each car, wearing uniform work clothes, and under the watchful eyes of all the villagers, they took away the food in the warehouse of the brigade.

Although many people were not satisfied with this matter, no one said it. After all, it was decided from above. Besides, they have grown and harvested two or three times as much food as other villages. It's cheap, so naturally I can't hold on to this matter anymore.

Anyway, no matter how much trouble comes, in the end, it is the powerless and powerless people who will suffer. It is better to let it go. After all, people who want to live in peace still account for the majority of Shanghe Village. When they are driven to a dead end, they can endure it.

Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang, who went home after work, took an unprecedented day off at home. They were really tired these two days.

It’s okay to work at home by yourself, work for a while and rest for a while, and it’s all your own family, so of course there’s nothing to say, but going to work is different, especially when there is a supervisor, it’s a little slower, I just kept thinking about it by the side, pointing at this and saying that, and it was so annoying.

The chief of the village and the party secretary wanted to do less work, which was also the work of the villagers. Originally, the supervisor only stayed here for two days. As soon as the matter was over, this person left, so why bother with him.

Therefore, in those two days, the people who worked in the ground were tired and uncomfortable. The main reason was that someone was staring at them all the time, walking around, and they felt awkward when working.

Bao Lin also knew about these situations, because her mother came back at noon on the day of work, and she was scolding at home because of this, but she greeted the relatives of the supervisor's house a lot, and she didn't dare to say it outside, for fear of being put on small shoes and saying it at home. It doesn't matter, I'm very aggrieved, I have to vent.

Because of this, the food at home has been much better than usual these few days. The big white porridge at home has returned to the rivers and lakes, and there is one pot every day. There are also peanut soup cooked in a different way, and fried peanuts. This is really fragrant, although Some get angry, but for the taste, it's worth it. Besides, just eat less.

Here, Paulin and his family of three are resting at home harmoniously, either lying on the bed, resting, or taking a small bench and sitting under the eaves of their house, not thinking about anything, not even digging for wild vegetables. Yes, very leisurely.

On the other hand, the Li family was in full swing, and the whole thing was about to explode.

In the past, because Li Qiang often ran outside, Xu Xiuying alone and her two daughters couldn't manage the land at home. After all, digging the ground, watering the ground and weeding, it was very tiring. There was no man to help, a few women, and two were not very useful. Yes, I can only help a little, I really can't do it.

No matter how capable Xu Xiuying is, it is not hard to beat, she will be tired, especially when she is carrying water alone, sweating, and dizzy from the sun, the negative emotions are infinitely magnified and can make her dry. The enthusiasm for living has been wiped out, and the efficiency of this work can be imagined.

Li Ju and Li Juan are both skinny and weak. They have no strength at all. Even if Xu Xiuying kills them, they will not be able to pick up much water. This horse has not been grazing for a long time. I hope it will give you a leap on an empty stomach. , that is dreaming.

Since the two sisters were short of food, they hadn't had a good meal of full porridge at Li's house, and even porridge such as sweet potatoes and wild vegetables, Xu Xiuying also deducted them, and usually cooked some wild vegetables to fool them.

There is not enough food at home. Li Qiang is often away from home, and she can't get anything back. She can only deduct from others to support her precious son Li Baodan.

She herself is a strong laborer and cannot be hungry. Li Baodan is a precious egg, and she cannot be hungry. Therefore, she can only deduct it from the old lady and two daughters. She was starved to skin and bones. In the past, he was still rich, but now, let's not mention it, the whole person is very thin, and the skills that were lost in the past have all been recovered in the past two years. Okay, that's a neat thing to do.

Watering, weeding, and fertilization are not active, and there is a lot of delay in planting. It is conceivable how much grain can be harvested in the ground.

No, Li Qiang came back excitedly. As soon as he dug into the ground, when he saw the sweet potato as big as a finger, his face turned black. He dug two lines, and the biggest one was half his fist. Of course, the most was still The sweet potato he fingered was obviously too different from what he saw in other homes.

It took two lines of digging to get so many things. Li Qiang directly started to blame in front of Xu Xiuying, saying that everyone and everyone had made the land at home properly, and she was lazy and he was alone. After working hard outside, when I came back, I didn't even give me a stutter at home. Anyway, these words sounded harsh in Xu Xiuying's ears.

Xu Xiuying was not a soft bun, she pointed at Li Qiang's nose and asked him for something, saying that he was incompetent and could not support a family.

I have to say, women are really sharp in this regard.

As they talked, the grievances from the past came to their hearts, and the two of them set up a fight in the sweet potato field. As for the sweet potatoes that had not been dug in the field, how could they manage so much.

Fighting and fighting, he ended up hurting both sides. That afternoon, after the fight, Li Qiang walked out the door angrily with scratches on his face after the fight.
