Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 120 Being a Concubine, Anger in the Cotton Field (5)
Zhang Dashan was even more excited: "Xiaocao'er, don't worry, we will do a good job, if you don't believe me, just set aside a cotton field, we finish the work, you are satisfied with it, and you can pay the wages! "

Zhang Xiaocao said with a smile: "No need to do this! We are all fellow villagers. My family has a lot of things to do. If you did a good job this time, I will naturally look for you next time. If you don't do a good job this time, I will not invite you next time." Already!"

After hearing this, Zhang Dashan made repeated promises, and Zhang Baojin and Zhang Baoyin also agreed.

After Zhang Dashan and his son left, many people came from behind one after another. Zhang Xiaocao directly asked them to go to the adobe house in front to find Qin Zhong and the others.

The next day, the [-]-acre cotton field started working at the same time. Zhang Xiaocao planned to go to the field to have a look, and explain it to them carefully, lest some people didn't remember clearly, and it would be a pity to pull out the good ones at that time. up.

When we got to the field, everyone was already working in full swing, and there was a 'click' sound from weeding everywhere!

Now the cotton plant has not yet grown, it has only reached the human thigh. After weeding this time and applying fertilizer again, it will grow fast, and it will bloom in June, and it will be topped by then. .

While Zhang Xiaocao was watching, she told them how to remove the redundant seedlings. These redundant seedlings should be removed as early as after transplanting, but she didn't find someone to do it for the sake of saving trouble. When the plant grows up, it is a bit more difficult to do. You can only cut it off from its root with a sickle. Otherwise, it will shake the root system of the main plant and make it grow slowly.

As she walked and watched, as long as someone did something wrong, she would come forward and teach it again. When she saw a woman dig up a well-grown cotton seedling with a hoe, and dug up the remaining one. At that time, she frowned and stepped forward.

"Didn't I say that the excess cotton seedlings should be cut with a sickle, and the vigorous ones should be left behind? How can you dig like this?"

Zhang Xiaocao recognized her as Xiao Hua, the daughter-in-law of the talkative woman in the village, so she said it again patiently, looked around subconsciously, and suddenly found that all the things she removed were good-growing ones. The cotton seedlings, and the removed seedlings still had soil on them, and they were neatly placed aside.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Xiaocao stared at Xiao Hua with an unnatural expression, and already had an answer in her heart.

Xiaohua was caught stealing cotton seedlings, she felt a little flustered, but she still said firmly: "I just didn't hear clearly, I dug wrong all of a sudden!"

"Mistake?"

Zhang Xiaocao raised her eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid it wasn't a mistake, but I dug it on purpose! If you want cotton seedlings to take home for planting, tell me and I won't give it to you? Don't you feel ashamed of my cotton seedlings?"

Xiaohua's face froze when she told her back, and she shouted loudly: "I didn't want to take it home and plant it. It was really a mistake to dig it. You can't frame me just because I was hired by your family and don't want to pay me. You don't If you are satisfied with driving me away, how can you bury someone?"

When Zhang Xiaocao saw that she was beating her up, saying that she wanted to rely on wages, she couldn't help squinting her eyes, and said coldly: "This is not the first time my family has hired someone to do something. Why did you rely on the wages of the folks? You did something wrong yourself, and you dare to put it away?" When it comes to me, I can't afford a person like you, you can go now, for the sake of the family, you don't need to pay for the damaged cotton plants!"

When Xiao Hua heard it, how could she agree?Immediately, he yelled at the villagers who were working in the field: "Everyone, come and see. I have worked so hard to help her family work and weed in this hot day, but see what they do to me!" ? Not only did you not pay me to drive me away, but also wanted me to lose money? Isn’t it just digging up a few wrong cotton seedlings, isn’t it just how much money your family has? Work!"

Everyone was attracted by Xiao Hua's cry, and looked over one after another. Several people looked at Zhang Xiaocao with hesitation.

It's their first time to do something, so they don't know if it's really what Xiao Hua said. Although they don't think Zhang Xiaocao is this kind of person, they are here to earn wages. If they don't make it clear, they don't feel at ease. But it will take several days!
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaocao knew that if she didn't explain things clearly today, everyone would inevitably feel uncomfortable, so she said to those people: "Everyone, come here, I have something to say!"

When everyone heard the words, they put down the hoes in their hands and walked over.

Zhang Xiaocao pointed to the neatly piled cotton seedlings on the ground and said: "Look, this is the cotton seedlings she removed. Not only did she dig up the good ones, but she also dug up the remaining ones. After saying a few words, she refused to let her go. Everyone is farming, and this crop is our passion. I don’t think she can do it at all, so I don’t want her to continue to harm the cotton seedlings, so I want her to go back, but She insisted that I would not pay her wages, but I asked the big guys, did I rely on your wages? Some of you came to my house for the first time to do work. If you don’t believe me, you can ask those who have worked before. , which time have I not paid a lot of wages as soon as the work is done?"

In the crowd, someone immediately echoed: "Everyone, don't think about it, the little grass girl is not willing to resign, I have done this several times, and I have never been in arrears! But, does this Xiaohua want to steal cotton seedlings and go back to plant them herself?" , the soil is still sticking to it!"

Let's take a closer look, don't we?The cotton seedlings were dug neatly, without any scars, and there was soil on the roots. Didn't they want to dig them back and grow them themselves!
As a result, everyone looked at Xiao Hua with disdain!They all know that cotton is valuable, but it is also difficult to grow. They have grown it before, but the money they get is not as good as growing corn, so they don't grow it again!

Seeing that Xiaocao put so much effort into growing cotton this year, I thought it was a joke at first, but seeing how well they planted it, it was very different from before. They all thought that this cotton could be made, and some people thought about it. If you can ask if there is a way, you can grow some at home, but no one came to ask.

This time, Mrs. Xiaohua blatantly stole the seedlings, and even harmed other people's cotton seedlings like this. If this matter happened to them, they would have gone to the door to ask for an explanation.
Xiaohua's face was pale and white when everyone looked at her, but she poked her neck and said: "I don't believe you didn't think about it, this seedling is growing well, anyway, removing it is also removing it, why can't you let me take it back to plant? Everyone still As for folks, she knows what to do, but she doesn't say it, how can she treat big guys as folks?"

Everyone was a little embarrassed by what she said, and some people agreed with Xiao Hua's words, thinking that everyone is a fellow countryman, why can't they tell everyone the way, isn't it a bit selfish?
When Zhang Xiaocao heard this, she just wanted to send Xiao Hua away immediately!
