The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 56

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, to worship the Kitchen God, He Fuguo came to pick He Lian back to He's house for the New Year.

He Tao reluctantly paid the babysitter He Lian: "Here is three hundred Wen, you go back and give it to grandma, and I will save the remaining six hundred Wen for you."

"Got it!" He took the purse.

"I really miss you." He Tao held on to He Lian's hand, almost tearing up.

He Lian said uncomfortably: "Sister, what are you doing, I just go back to live for a few days."

completely different, okay? !He Tao thought to himself.

In the past three months, He Lian has played a vital role. Not to mention the laundry and cooking, she can help the twins when they cry, quarrel, and urinate. Everything can be handed over to her, and she can do it quickly!Once she goes back like this, all the work will fall on He Tao and Fu Shitou!
Why did I still think that Chinese New Year is a day to be happy, and I have been looking forward to it?He Tao felt that she was so stupid, she never thought that He Lian would go back after the Chinese New Year.

Fu Shi also gave He Lian a complicated look, little girl, is it completely different? !He Lian didn't live here, so no one took the twins to stay overnight. As long as the twins were in the house, He Tao refused to let him get close.During this period of time, he doesn't want to eat meat anymore!Daughter-in-law, why are you so shy?Girls are only three months old, so they know a lot!

"Okay, it's time to go, or we won't be able to catch up with the Kitchen God!" He Fuguo urged.It seems that the little girl is really capable, and even the eldest daughter and son-in-law are reluctant to leave.He coughed and continued: "When I go to your grandmother's house, I will ask Lian Er to come back and continue helping you."

"Really?! Then it's a deal, Dad, you must let the little sister come back soon!" He Tao counted, and it was only ten days, and she could persist.

He Lian also looked at him expectantly.

"Really!" He Fuguo guaranteed it on the spot: "Dad said it, no problem!"

"Great!" He Lian jumped up.

He Fuguo felt a little sour, his daughter was unwilling to stay at home, and would rather live in someone else's house, even if it was the eldest daughter's house, this is despising his own house!However, looking at He Lian who has gained a lot of weight after leaving home in March, He Fuguo feels that she can't be blamed for this at all, but her father is not capable, and he can't even raise his own children!

He Lian happily followed He Fuguo back to He's house with a small bundle.Walking on the road, He Tao took out a pair of tremella earrings and put them on, turned her head and asked, "Father, look at my earrings, don't they look very pretty? Eldest sister bought them for me!"

The reason why He Taonian bought two sets of earrings was to give a pair to He Lian, and he joked that he would add one to her every year in the future, and use it as a bottom of the box when he got married.This is the first time for He Lian to get such beautiful jewelry, and she wanted to show it off for a long time, but unfortunately, she was too busy at the end of the year and had no time to go to the village to find the little sisters, so she couldn't wait to wear it as soon as she left the Great Wasteland .

He Fuguo smiled and patted her head: "Well, it looks good."

When He Lian came to the Great Wasteland, she brought two single clothes with her. When she returned, she wore a newly made thick padded jacket, and there were two other new padded jackets in her pack. Wearing a shiny tremella bell, it can almost be regarded as a homecoming.

"Little sister is back!"

As soon as he entered the door, He Lian met He Youdong who had just picked up Zhang Dahua.

Zhang Da "accidentally stumbled and died", Zhang Gao and his wife were seriously ill, and the whole Zhang family was in a mess.As the saying goes, a son-in-law is worth half a son. As the son-in-law of the Zhang family, He Youdong had no choice but to live in the Zhang family.It took more than two months to clean up Zhang's house on and off, and he didn't return to He's house until half a month ago. Counting the three months since He Lian went to help in the Great Wasteland, He Youdong has never met her. Why? At first glance, He Lian has changed a lot from before.

"It looks like someone else's young lady is dressed!" He Youdong joked while rubbing his chin.

He Lian didn't want to see He Youdong very much, she felt that he was shameless, and although she couldn't yell and scold him, she lost that kind of intimacy towards him, and said forcefully, "What kind of lady am I!" He went directly to the east room of the Da Zhou family.

Zhang Dahua gave He Lian a cold look, and then he spotted the earrings on He Lian's ear, feeling mad with jealousy.

These days, it takes money to take care of Zhang Da's funeral, and to get Zhang Gao's medical treatment and medicine, but the Zhang family is so poor that they have to go to the in-laws' house to steal food, so how can there be any money!
Zhang Dahua approached He Youdong and begged him to go back to He's house to find a way, but He Youdong mercilessly refused.He Youdong is plausible - the stolen food has not been returned, how can I lend you money again?
Zhang Gao's illness can last for a while, but Zhang Da's body can't stay at home all the time!As a last resort, he rolled it up with a broken mat, dug a pit and buried him hastily, without even spending a penny on paper money for incense sticks.

Zhang Ergui and Zhang Gaoshi were ill and had no money to treat them, and no one took care of Luo Shisheng's Zhang Shuanzi, so Zhang Dahua had to stay at the Zhang family.He Youdong wanted to take his wife home as soon as possible, but he had no money to solve the problem, so he came up with a bad idea to sell the land to the Zhang family!
Including Zhang Dahua, the Zhang family disagreed.The field is the foundation of farmers, and selling it can solve the temporary needs, but what will happen in the coming year?What to eat?

He Youdong spread his hands: Anyway, I have no other way, you can discuss it!

Zhang Dahua procrastinated, and after more than a month, the bag of grain she stole had been sold out. Seeing that she was going to be hungry again, she gritted her teeth and agreed to sell half of the family's land.Three acres of paddy fields and four acres of dry land.

Thinking that her natal family's harvest will be less next year, she will not be happy in the New Year's Eve. Who knows that He Lian will give her a big stimulus when she comes back.

Tremella Dang, judging by the weight, it must be worth at least [-] Wen. He Lian, a girl in her teens, is so rich!Zhang Dahua's face became ferocious, and she stared at He Lian's back, until He Lian entered the main room before turning around and walking towards her own room.

"Who are you showing your face to?" He Youdong followed into the house, and yelled at Zhang Dahua angrily: "I came back after a long time, and you want to go back to your mother's house again, or what? Put on a bad face, for fear that grandma will see it." I can’t remember that bag of food without you?”

As soon as he yelled at Zhang Dahua, he began to cry: "How can I be happy? I asked you to ask the family to borrow some money and you were unwilling in every possible way. Why did grandma not borrow money? Didn't you see what is on the little girl's ear just now? You Where did the money come from? What do you think grandma thinks?"

Zhang Dahua didn't know that He Lian went to Dahuangdi to help earn wages when he got home. He thought it was the earrings that Da Zhou bought for He Lian.He Youdong said angrily after hearing this: "Grandma?! She will never let go of the money until she dies. You think she bought it. You are so stupid!"

Only then did He Youdong tell Zhang Dahua about He Lian's job as a helper in the Great Wasteland, and at the end he told Zhang Dahua: "Don't look at the young girl, she is the only one in our family who has an income!"

"What's the matter? Do you still want me to please her?" Zhang Dahua asked angrily.

"It's not..." When He Youdong was about to talk to Zhang Dahua about the importance of He Lian, a scream suddenly sounded.He listened carefully, and the source of the voice was still the East House of the Da Zhou family.

He immediately stood up, originally wanting to go out to see what happened, but thinking that his family still didn't want to see him, he just carefully opened the door a crack to listen to the movement outside.Zhang Dahua also hugged He Guangming and came over: "Father, what did you say? I heard the voice of my little sister!"

It was indeed He Lian's voice. At this moment, He Lian was covering her ears and crying so hard that bright red blood flowed from between her fingers.

"How dare you be disobedient if I ask you to take it off?" Mrs. Zhou took a feather duster in her hand and slapped her body: "What jewelry do you wear at such a young age? It's a monster, take it off quickly!"

How can this be?This is the only thought in He Lian's mind.

She went home happily, and took the initiative to hand over her wages to Da Zhou. Da Zhou was quite happy at first, saying that she could earn money at a young age.

Da Zhou saw that she had three new cotton coats and asked her to give one of them to Aunt He Hua's little cousin Zhou Kexin during the Chinese New Year.

The Zhou family finally sold Zhou Keren, because Zhou Keren was good-looking, and sold 18 taels of silver, and the Zhou family added two taels to finally settle the matter.But since then, He Hua and Zhou Kexin's life in Zhou's house has become even more difficult. Before that, He Hua came back and cried, saying that Zhou Kexin didn't even have a decent dress.

Although He Lian was unwilling, she agreed.Da Zhou smiled even more happily, and kept praising her for being obedient and sensible.

When He Lian was about to go back to the house, Mrs. Da Zhou saw the tremella bell on her ear.

"What are you wearing on your ears?" Da Zhou's eyes were not good, and he took a closer look to see clearly: "Silver?!"

"Yes, my eldest sister gave it to me." He Lian's heart tightened.

"Take it off!" Da Zhou's face sank and said: "I thought you were a good person, but you dare to hide your private room so brightly, do you still have me as a grandma in your eyes?"

"But, this is what my elder sister gave me, not wages." Naturally, He Lian disagreed.

Seeing that her granddaughter was disobedient, Mrs. Da Zhou simply took it out by herself, and pulled off an ear bell. Da Dong's skin was already fragile, and He Lian's ear was also pulled out a big hole.

He Lian burst into tears with a "wow".

Mrs. Da Zhou was persistent and insisted that she take off the other one as well, but after seeing the blood, she didn't dare to take it by force, so she had to take a feather duster to beat He Lian.

He Lian was hurt by the throbbing, and took off the other earring and threw it on Da Zhou's face: "Here you are, I'll give you everything!"

After finishing speaking, he ran out covering his bleeding ears, and collided with He Fuguo who had heard the sound. He Fuguo grabbed her and asked, "Lian'er, what's wrong with you? Did you mess with your grandma?"

He Lian cried even more when she heard that, she raised her head and asked He Fuguo: "I didn't mess with her! How could she do this! After paying the wages and the cotton clothes, why did you want to rob me of my earrings? This is Eldest sister gave it to me, I..."

I also want to take it out to show Chun Ya and the others!The only one I have in the village was given to me by my elder sister!
But looking at He Fuguo's face, He Lian couldn't say the following words.At such a young age, she finally understood what the eldest sister meant when she said, "Our father is too filial".She knew that even if grandma was wrong, father would not seek justice for her, because father was filial, so she would suffer along with her!
She really wanted to ask He Fuguo, Dad, when will you refute grandma?When will you be able to take care of your daughter for once?
At night, when the He family members were all asleep, He Youliang knocked on the door of He Lian's house with a bowl of porridge.He Lian opened the door with red eyes, and called out sullenly, "Brother."

"Be hungry, eat something." He Youliang stuffed the bowl into He Lian's arms: "Father secretly left it for you."

Because He Lian threw the earrings on Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou was furious, saying that she was disobedient and unfilial, and fined her not to eat for three days.He Fuguo was in a dilemma, so he could only secretly hide a bowl of porridge when everyone was not paying attention, but when he thought of the way his daughter looked at her during the day, he felt guilty for a while, so he had to ask He Youliang to bring it to He Lian.

He Lian hated He Fuguo for not helping him seek justice, so she hummed twice.But after all, she was young, and after another three months of good life, she was not used to being hungry all at once, so she awkwardly took the bowl and sipped it.

"Does the ear hurt?" He Youliang stretched out his hand to touch her scabbed earlobe: "Why are you so careless? You knew our grandma was greedy, and you took it to show her eyes in front of her."

"It's obviously her fault, why are you blaming me?!" Little He Lian frowned, and then remembered that when He Tao gave it to her, she had specifically told her to keep it away so that Da Zhou couldn't find out, and said awkwardly Don't start: "It's her fault anyway!"

"Okay, okay, it's all her fault." He Youliang comforted him in a good-tempered manner.

He Lian hesitated for a while and asked He Youliang: "Brother, why do you think she is like this? Why is dad like this?"

"Our father is a dutiful son." He Youliang said.

One word is full of bitterness.

He Lian asked persistently: "What about grandma? Why is she like this?"

He Youliang shook his head: "I don't know, maybe, maybe I'm so poor..."

"Then I must earn a lot of money in the future, and I must not be like her!" He Lian said firmly, puffing her cheeks: "I want to earn a lot of money, buy a lot of jewelry, and make a lot of new products." Clothes, don't even show her!"

"Okay, okay, don't show it to her!" He Youliang agreed helplessly.
