Chapter 14 Turning Potato Vine

Zhang Jiaohua watched everything happening in a daze. He saw with his own eyes that Zhang Youlian was tripped by the Golden Tiger and fell to the ridge of the field. Zhang Youlian's slap on Li Yuju was simply a slap by Gouwa grabbed his hand and hit him. In other words, the noisy fight was picked up by Jin Hu and the others. But Zhang Jiaohua didn't feel guilty in her heart, but she felt very happy. Yes, very happy.

Don’t think that the little kid has no revenge for the night. It’s amazing if the little kid remembers the revenge. Zhang Youlian didn’t care about the bad things. During breakfast, Zhang Youhua happily led the big buffalo home. At this time, the old house of Zhang Qianlong’s family remembered the sound of firecrackers. In fact, Zhang Youlian was apologizing to Li Yuju.

After Zhang Youping handled his brother's affairs, he helped Zhang Qianlong's house and would not come back until evening. Liu Qiaoye had to do the family matters alone.

Although it is not the harvest season, the farmer's work is too busy. The sweet potato vines need to be turned over, otherwise many side roots will grow on the sweet potato vines, which will become small sweet potatoes in the future, affecting the nutrition of the main roots. In addition, we must also clean the weeds in the sweet potato field. The barnyard grass and various weeds in the rice fields must also be cleaned in time. Otherwise, when the seeds of the barnyard grass mature and the seeds fall into the rice fields, it will become a disaster for the next season of rice. The late-ripening corn can also be harvested. When the weather is clear, you have to pick them back as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the rainy season comes, the corn sticks may break in the field... All these things are needed by every family in Meiziao to clean up one by one. Originally, the main labor force in the family was Zhang Youping, but now, the heavy labor is completely pressing on the woman Liu Qiaoye.

Zhang Yaohua tied up the cows and returned home. There were already piles of corn sticks piled up on the drying cereal in the yard. The husks had not been torn open yet, and the corn like golden jade inside had not been exposed.

Liu Qiaoye was already busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.

"Mom. I'm back." Zhang Jiaohua was about to share the big news about this morning with her mother.

"Baozai, go and wash your face, and you'll have breakfast soon." Liu Qiaoye's concerning voice immediately sounded in the kitchen.

"Mom, do you know what uncle is doing today?" Zhang Yaohua ran into the kitchen and asked mysteriously.

"Hehe, what's wrong with uncle today?" Liu Qiaoye couldn't have known such a big thing at all, but she deliberately pretended not to know.

"He fell into Jiujin's field and crushed a piece of rice to death. He even started to curse Li Yuju. Later, Uncle..." Zhang Jiaohua said vividly what happened.

"How do you know so clearly?" Liu Qiaoye looked at the cub in surprise.

"I was leading a cow to pass through the ridge of my uncle's field..." Zhang Jiaohua told the cause of the incident.

"It's so troublesome now. Your uncle will definitely blame you for this." Liu Qiaoye knew that Zhang Youlian was petty, so he would definitely resent Zhang Yaohua afterwards. Although the matter was entirely caused by Zhang Youlian's own fault.

"You can't blame me. Their ridges are not allowed to pass by? He is still my uncle. I herded cattle, but I didn't eat a single grain of rice in their family, nor did I eat a single bean in their family." Zhang Jiaohua was not afraid of his uncle causing trouble at all. It would be good if he didn't ask his uncle for trouble in the future. Today's incident made Zhang Jiaohua understand a little about how to deal with those bad people.

"Baby, uncle is an elder after all, you are a junior. You must respect your elders." Liu Qiaoye said hurriedly.

"Then he wants to hit me unreasonably, and I have to recognize him as an elder? If he hadn't fallen into the field, he would have come to hit me. He deserves his bad luck! His face was caught by Jiujin's mother just now. This is called evil people being beaten by evil people." Zhang Yaohua giggled.

Jin Hu and the others were also very happy. They knew that they had done the right thing today and protected Zhang Yaohua. They had begun to subconsciously protect Zhang Yaohua.

There are only two dishes for breakfast, one is loofah soup and the other is fried with peppers. Although there is no refrigerator, the loach is fried very dry in sesame oil and will not deteriorate if it is left for a day or two.

Zhang Jiaohua ate two big bowls of rice, and her belly was full.

"My mother has to go to the field to flip the sweet potato vines after eating. You stay at home, don't run around. I heard that recently, someone from Majiawan came to the village to steal children. A child who ran out to play was caught." Liu Qiaoye made up a story to scare the baby so that he would not run around.

"I'm not afraid of human traffickers. The last time the human trafficker was beaten away by me. If he hadn't run fast, I would have arrested him." Zhang Yaohua felt very excited when she remembered what she did that day. Unfortunately, the human traffickers didn't come every day, and they lost a lot of fun.

"You were lucky that day. When you meet a powerful human trafficker, you can't even escape." Liu Qiaoye gave a blank look. This method didn't work.

"Then I'm not alone at home, I'll go to the field with you." Zhang Yaohua showed a sly smile on her face.

"No. The sun is too sunny outside." Liu Qiaoye immediately rejected the request of the baby.

"Mom is not afraid of sunlight, and I am not afraid of sunlight." Zhang Yaohua would not give up so easily.

Zhang Yaohua's words made Liu Qiaoye feel warm, "Good baby, I know I care about my mother. I will take you there, but you have to listen to my mother and wear a hat. You can also stand under the shade of the tree and not run around."

The sky is clear and the scorching sun is scorching the earth. Walking in the vegetable fields, you can smell the various smells emitted by various vegetable leaves under the scorching sun. It seems that these vegetable leaves are about to be steamed by the sun.

When he arrived in the field, Zhang Yaohua stayed by his side for a while and couldn't rest. How could a little kid be afraid of the sun? Doing farm work is full of fun, so how could he say that hard work? Only adults who have been suffering from the torment of life can experience the bitterness and sorrow of life.

Flipping sweet potato vines is also a technical job. During the turning process, you must carefully comb the entangled sweet potato vines and be careful to avoid causing too much damage to the vines. Otherwise, it will backfire.

Liu Qiaoye is already a qualified farmer, and she has mastered this skill completely. The sweet potato vines are like threading needles in her hands. The vines are combed in order by her.

Zhang Yaohua ran over and when he turned over the first vine, he pulled the sweet potato vine into several pieces.

Although Liu Qiaoye didn't want his son to do such hard farm work in the future just like their generation, he would do such hard farm work throughout his life, but he still patiently taught his son to do it.
