70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 115 Don't You Miss Me
It would be miserable if she found her own space, she wouldn't be burned to death by the villagers as a monster.

Xie Xiaonian, who was a little scared, pretended not to know and said: "What wild boars and wolves, the village hasn't seen those things for many years, how could there be?"

"Why not, didn't it show up today! Don't take it to heart." Seeing that Xie Xiaonian didn't take it seriously, the third grandma said sternly.

"Then how do you know there are wild boars and wolves on the mountain!" Xie Xiaonian asked cautiously.

"Of course I heard the cry. I don't know if you went to your uncle's house. Everyone who worked at the foot of the mountain heard it today." The third grandma said in fear.

After hearing what the third grandma said, Xie Xiaonian felt relieved, as long as no one went up the mountain.

Then Xie Xiaonian pretended to be scared and said: "Really, then I won't dare to come to this mountain in the future, it's too scary."

What Xie Xiaonian didn't know was that when the people cutting wood and digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain in the morning heard the cries of wolves and wild boars on the mountain, they all ran home in fright.

So when she went down the mountain, there was no one at the foot of the mountain, but what she didn't know was that in the current village, every house is still closed.

Even her uncle's family ran over to see Xie Xiaonian after hearing the news. Seeing that she was intact, and promised not to enter the east mountain in the future, they felt relieved. Of course, this is a later story.

"Of course I can't go. I thought the mountains to the west were more dangerous, but I didn't expect them to be unsafe. There are no things on the mountains. How can I live this day!" Third Grandma said worriedly.

"Third Grandma, don't worry, this danger must be inside the mountain, not necessarily at the foot of the mountain. Now there are many creatures in the mountain, and wolves and wild boars can't go hungry, so they won't go down the mountain."

"I hope so, otherwise there will be no more firewood, and it will be a sad day."

When Xie Xiaonian persuaded the third grandma, holding two sickles for self-defense prepared by the third grandma in her hand, when she returned home, she saw that the door of the house was also tightly closed.

Xie Xiaonian yelled a few times outside the gate, but no one opened the door. In desperation, she had no choice but to climb over the wall and enter.

Seeing the whole family hiding in the house and not daring to show their heads, Xie Xiaonian felt it was funny for a while, as for the low courtyard walls and the broken thatched hut at home, if wolves and wild boars really came, they could stop them, they were just deceiving themselves and others.

When Wu Lihua and Li Zhi saw that Xie Xiaonian came back intact, their silver teeth were about to be crushed, thinking to themselves, why didn't Xie Xiaonian die outside.

But no matter how vicious their thoughts are, they can't do anything to Xie Xiaonian.

When Xie Xiaonian was ready for dinner, the others might see that they hadn't heard wild boars and wolves barking for a whole day, and there was movement in other houses, so they felt a little relieved, and all of them bravely went out to serve dinner up.

"It would be great if we could catch wild boars, so we can eat meat." Xie Xiaobao, who was detained by Wu Lihua after school, said greedily.

"You're tired of living, you still want to eat wild pork, don't catch it, eat it." Although Xie's father is not as impulsive as before, he still doesn't have any good looks towards Xie Xiaobao and the others.

Seeing his father scolding him like this again, Xie Xiaobao shrank his head in fright and didn't dare to say a word.

And Wu Lihua didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Father Xie would draw the fire on her and beat her up again.

Now Wu Lihua has been driven to sleep with her two daughters, if she provokes Father Xie again, she will really be driven back to her mother's house.

She can't go back to her natal home anyway, with her sister-in-laws around, if she goes back to her natal home, don't expect to have good fruit to eat.

Because the time for the double grab is coming, the family has to prepare for the double grab, repairing farm tools, patching cloth bags, sharpening the sickle, etc. are all jobs, and the whole family will have to work in the fields, so we have to stock up in advance for the wheat harvest and autumn planting period. firewood.

Therefore, in the following time, everyone had no free time, even Xie Xiaobao and Xie Xiaoye, who never worked, were dragged by Father Xie to pick up firewood after school.

But because of the wolves and wild boars, they only dared to go to the foot of the mountain with the villagers every day, for fear that they would not be able to cope with the beasts they encountered.

If it weren't for the urgent need to store firewood, they would not be willing to go to the foot of the mountain.

And Li Zhi is also busy with Wu Lihua and Xie's father all day long, and is no longer the same as before, only doing a little housework.

As for the whole family, the lives of Xie Dabao, who may only be working, and Xie Xiaonian, who has never been idle, have not changed much.

It may be that Father Xie is still suspicious of Xie Xiaobao and the others, and he also hates Wu Lihua, so even though the family is very busy, Father Xie treats them very badly, and the treatment has dropped again and again, and they are almost the same as Xie Xiaonian. same.

But even if Wu Lihua doesn't have the right to speak, but with Wu Lihua protecting her, Xie Xiaobao and others are better than Xie Xiaonian.

When the whole village was busy, the third grandma also helped Xie Xiaonian to receive the second letter from Xu Zhongjun.

In addition, there were several models made of bullet casings in the package. This was the first time Xie Xiaonian owned such a thing, and he couldn't put it down.

And Xie Xiaonian's favorite is the pendant made of bullets. She took out the red string that hung the jade piece before, put on the bullet and put it around her neck.

And the letter Xu Zhongjun wrote this time was different from the lingering ones before, but full of grievances. In the end, he asked Xie Xiaonian, don't you miss me?Why don't you even want to say that you miss him? Did you forget him?

That aggrieved tone, like a pissed off daughter-in-law, caused Xie Xiaonian to laugh out loud in the space for several minutes, and almost rolled off the bed.

But all smiles, when Xie Xiaonian wrote a reply to Xu Zhongjun, he still satisfied his request.

On the 5th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Xiezhuang began to enter the season of rushing to harvest wheat. Because they were afraid that it would rain, all the workers in the village worked overtime and had to take the grain home. Everyone can be at ease.

The restored lunch of each family is also sent to the field by the family and settled on the field.

For the Xie family, Xie Xiaonian still cooks, but Li Zhi does the food and water delivery.

Because harvesting wheat is a tiring job, Father Xie took the initiative and took out a piece of bacon left over from the Chinese New Year, and asked Xie Xiaonian to cook and eat it several times. Work hard.

The harvested wheat will be pulled to the pre-thrown field, and some women will spread it out and dry it.

After drying, the wheat has to be shoved, sieved, and sun-dried, etc. There are piles of work.

After the wheat in the field was harvested, the adults went to thresh the wheat, and the field became the home of the children in the village.

I saw one by one, all carrying baskets, picking wheat ears in the field in groups and pairs.

At this time, the ears of wheat picked up do not need to be handed over to the team, so everyone is very active. If they can pick up more, maybe they can eat white noodles one more time.

Because Xie Xiaobao and Xie Xiaoye were on wheat leave, the two who had never been in the field before were also driven by Xie's father to pick ears of wheat in the field.

And Xie Xiaonian, Li Zhi, and Xie Dabao who took the time to come over are also in the ranks of picking ears of wheat.

It can be said that children in the village from four or five years old to girls aged sixteen or seventeen are all busy in the field. Even if the field is clean, you can't pick up half a catty of wheat in the morning, but everyone still wants to go through it. Searching again and again, not to mention the ears of wheat, even the grains of wheat that fell into the soil will never be let go.

Xie Xiaonian was used to doing farm work in the space, so although it was hotter outside, she could still bear it.

But Li Zhi, who was not yet fully recovered, suffered. Not only did her whole body hurt from the sweat stains, but the rash that was almost healed also showed signs of recurrence.

During the entire double-robbery period, she didn't even think about it thoroughly, and went to hook up with Zhang Hao.

However, because it was the first time to experience such a high-intensity work, coupled with inexperience, the educated youths in the village were the worst. Because they were from Maimanza, Li Zhenzhu still had small bumps on his face and neck.

Fortunately, there is the ointment formulated by Xie Xiaonian, and she has been eating well recently, otherwise she would not be able to persist.

Just like Lin Xiaodan, because everyone in the village is too busy, the boys who usually admire her don't help her with work, and Zhang Hao is too busy to take care of himself, let alone help her.

So every time the task assigned to Lin Xiaodan in the team, she didn't complete it on time, not only would she be scolded every day, but also her work points would be deducted, and she had aged a lot.

It may be because of the exhaustion of this double grab that made her realize that life in the countryside is not easy, and she made such a choice because of this.

And after picking up the ears of wheat, everyone will start to pull the stubble from the field again. If these things are taken home to dry, they can be kept to light the fire.

Although they are close to the mountains and have no shortage of firewood, they are still in short supply of such useful ignition materials as wheat straw.

As for the intact wheat stalks that were distributed in the team, people were reluctant to burn them, but they had to be kept for roof repairs, otherwise when there was a lot of rain, it would only rain heavily outside and light rain inside.

However, when Xie Xiaonian was working with fellow villagers, he became acquainted with those of the same age in the village, and he could say hello when they met, unlike before, when they met on the road, they pretended not to know each other.

Of course, her relationship with Li Zhenzhu is still the best, and Yan Ran has become a good girlfriend who can talk about everything.

In the busy work, the busy farming has finally passed. Most people have tanned a lot and lost a lot of weight, but everyone is very happy. After all, the grain has been put in storage now. When the public grain is paid, the villagers can With the distribution of food, each family's life will be easier.

And autumn grains such as corn and soybeans have also been planted. In a few months, they will be able to get food again, and they feel that their lives have a bright future.

In fact, the villagers come here like this every year. After the double grabbing, they just feel a little tired and just rest for two days.

But the educated youths who just came to the village are suffering. This kind of labor intensity of rushing to harvest and sow has made them lose a lot of weight.

And although Li Zhenzhu was also very tired in this busy farming season, the baby fat on her round face was gone, and it was a lot darker, but her unwillingness to admit defeat became more and more obvious, and The more frustrated the more courageous, but it seems that he is much more energetic than before.

On the day of food distribution, it was already the 6th day of the sixth month in the lunar calendar. Early in the morning, adults and children were waiting for the food distribution at the gate of the granary in the village with sacks and baskets.
