Chapter 3 Wheat Harvesting
This year, there is a severe drought, and thousands of miles of desolate land.
Their village barely collected some grain, and after deducting the grain tax, there was not much left.
Xia Bo has no hope, so he can only leave his hometown to find another way out.
The two families separated on the way to escape from the famine, and after that, heaven and man were separated forever, and they never saw each other again.
How many times he dreamed back at midnight, he regretted it.
A mere twenty-two, why did he have to separate from his second brother? Before his parents passed away, he was repeatedly told to take care of this naive younger brother.
Knowing that he is ignorant, but still be angry with him, he is really unfilial!
It was precisely because he separated from his second brother's family and lived separately that that **** **** took advantage of his loopholes and bullied his daughter.
It all started when he drove away the second brother's family.
In the past few days, the second brother has been serving him with great care, and he is also constantly reflecting on what he missed.
Back then, he was sick on the bed, with persistent high fever and unconsciousness. Did the second younger brother ever serve him so earnestly, meticulously and thoughtfully?
He lay in bed for a few more days, and there was no one in charge at home. The ignorant second brother had to become sensible, and was forced to work **** the family's livelihood.
Siblings have always been strong, he knows it.
They live in poverty, and their younger siblings do housework, wishing that a copper coin could be broken in half.
In the past years, he hired people to take care of the farmland. Now that he has collapsed, the wages have risen again.
It's hard for them.
He sighed in his heart, and completed the major events in life with his usual expression.
Let the second brother put him down again, and clean up himself.
The eldest brother is like a father, what makes him uncomfortable, he is very comfortable!
…
As soon as Father Yan came out, he saw his daughter squatting at the door of the kitchen, watching her eldest niece cook the stove.
Ordinary people eat two meals a day. They are used to three meals a day.
Even he couldn't help swallowing.
Our eggs are really delicious, don’t look at the frequency of laying eggs is not high, natural pollution-free, healthy.
Suck! The old hen is more delicious. I don't know when I will have this blessing.
Brother is weak, do you have to kill a chicken to make up for it?
Erya learned how to make a fire with her eyes instead of her hands.
Eyes said: learned.
Hand says: No, it doesn't.
She picked a good-looking firewood from the side, and sent it to the stove tentatively.
was stopped by the elder sister in time, and said to her in a very gentle tone: "Ah, go play elsewhere, be careful not to burn you."
Confiscated the firewood in her hand, and helped her popularize science: "The firewood in this stove must be left empty, and it can't be too full, so let's not burn it."
Understood, and learned new knowledge.
Erya nodded solemnly, turned around, and saw her father swallowing saliva while looking at the old hens.
The calf flipped over quickly.
"Dad, are you hungry?" She asked in a low voice.
"Don't forget that you still owe twenty taels of gambling debt!" Er Ya put on a tiger's face, saying that gambling dogs are not eligible to eat meat.
"How can it be said that I owe it? Isn't that what Yan's second son owes?" Father Yan feels that he has been wronged.
"You are Yan's second son, and Yan's second is you."
"Girl, let's stop making trouble, Dad will be worried to death, there is a place to sell blood in ancient times, I want to sell blood!"
"Twenty taels is not enough to sell blood, Dad, it is twenty taels!"
"Stop emphasizing it, okay? My brain hurts. Didn't I agree, call me daddy, don't call me daddy."
"Okay, Dad!" Erya followed suit and asked, "Then can you stop calling me Erya? It's not like I don't have a name."
"Can we be called by that name? What if the secret is exposed? I haven't been burned as a monster. Your uncle called me Tianyou. I used to think that Yan's second child was called Yan Tianyou. It took two days to figure it out. It turned out to be a nickname. , I still haven’t figured out exactly what Yan Laoer’s name is.” Yan’s father is also helpless, everyone in the village calls him Yan Laoer, but he doesn’t know what his real name is.
"Dad, you're really uneducated. God bless, that's the characters. The ancient scholars all had characters, and those who were close to each other were called by the surname plus characters, or just called characters." Erya is a primary school bully, but her major is right. The status quo is not helpful, let me know about small languages?
She is better than her parents because she likes watching dramas and reading novels...
"Hey, that's not right, didn't you say that you saw the IOU, there should be a name on it."
Father Yan couldn’t describe it in a single word, and all the sighs of his life are here today. "Yan Lao Er's handwriting was written in traditional characters, and I really didn't see what it was."
Erya:...
"Forget it, dad, I will always know later." She comforted her dear dad.
"Your sister's meal is ready, I have to go back to the field quickly, but your mother is exhausted." He took the lunch prepared by his eldest niece, a fully covered basket, and hurried out.
Lunch is only available during the busy farming season. He is not happy at all. Cutting wheat is really not a human job. He holds the wheat with one hand and cuts it with the other. His waist is almost broken. His family leader has suffered a great crime!
…
Yan’s house
Li Xuemei staggered and fell to her knees.
The pain in her knees was temporary, and the numb pain in her lower back was tormenting her nerves all the time, and the growing sun made her dizzy.
Really tired!
"Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! Where are you?" Yan Laoer shouted in panic, not seeing anyone from a distance.
"Here!" Li Xuemei tried her best to speak loudly, but she was exhausted, her whole body was sore, and she was really weak.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, daughter-in-law? Where's the injury? Let me take a look." Yan Laoer ran over quickly and saw his leader kneeling on the ground with one hand on the ground, and the other hand was wrapped with a sickle by a cloth strip. His heart ached. straight pumping.
Fuck it, what's the matter!
"I'm fine..." Li Xuemei took a few breaths and said, "You slowly help me up."
Yan Laoer understood what was going on right away. No matter whether it was Li Xuemei in the past or the current Li family, they had never done such heavy work before, and their bodies couldn't bear it.
He wiped his face, walked forward quickly, and adjusted her posture while talking, "Don't get up first, you lie down for a while, and I will help you press and relax."
Fingers with moderate strength focused on her lower back.
Li Xuemei couldn't help but feel sore and hurt when she woke up.
"Hold on, don't make any noise, this is still in the ground, don't let people misunderstand what we are doing." Yan's father has always been poor.
Li Xuemei wanted to slap him angrily, "Shut up, I won't press it, let me get up." She struggled to stand up by herself.
"Hey, tell me why you are in a hurry again, daughter-in-law, you have to change your temper, it's not fun for women to talk back to men here." Father Yan pushed her down, regardless of whether the place was clean or not, "Daughter-in-law, you said that you are so strong, I will not tell you all, just do it in moderation, in moderation, you can just help, the main force must be me, and you will be disobedient when you turn around."
"Ten acres of land! How can you do it by yourself." It doesn't matter who does this job.
"Let's hire someone, hey! Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem."
"Hehe, what are you asking for? Are you going to ask the elder brother for money?"
