Chapter 221: Some people in the village have begun to turn over the fields
But what about her?
I get up before dawn and clean the chicken coop and pig pen, then sweep the yard, and after dinner, I cut pig grass and collect firewood.
After returning home, I hurriedly lit a fire to cook, cooked the pot and washed the dishes after the meal. After cleaning up the kitchen, I took the whole family's clothes to the river to wash them without touching the floor. At the end of the day, I was so tired that my back ached~
Her brother didn't even ask a question!
When the dead girl was cooking, her brother rushed to help, but when it was her turn to cook, she didn't even see the corner of her brother's clothes!
She finally made a fire, and she had to watch the fire in the kitchen and make pancakes to cook. She accidentally burned her hand and it was so painful that she shed tears.
I managed to finish the meal despite the burning sensation in my hands, and went back and forth from the kitchen to the main room several times to set it up. As a result, her mother and sister-in-law were picky about it, saying that what she cooked was pig food, and they scolded her like crazy!
Her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law tried their best to tease her and make fun of her in various ways. Her brother never saw or heard her, and her father would only make her obedient!
She's had enough!
Ye Feifeng clenched her hands tightly, digging her nails deeply into her flesh. She gritted her teeth and swore secretly that she would never let the dead girl go. Sooner or later, she would step on the dead girl under her feet!
The dinner was cooked by Mr. Wang, but Mr. Qian and his wife were not picky. At noon, they almost let Ye Feifeng take the medicine to death. It feels so good to be able to eat a normal meal now.
After the meal, He Xiner helped her mother clean up and went to the backyard with the dishes, bowls and chopsticks.
It was completely dark, so Lao Yetou asked Lao Qian to light the oil lamp. The big light swayed gently, forming a dim yellow circle within half a meter of the oil lamp.
Old Ye was smoking his pipe, exhaling a thick puff of smoke, and said slowly: "Some people in the village have started plowing their fields."
Ye Laijin on the left nodded, "Yes, you are really not afraid of getting tired. How can you turn the baba dry in the field without an ox? How can you die from exhaustion?"
Ye Laiyin on the right sighed, "Before the grain was collected, I was afraid of rain. After the grain was collected, it was time to plow the fields, and I was looking forward to rain, but not a drop of rain fell."
"Who says it's not the case? The sun just hangs in the sky and basks in it every day. The ground in the fields is as hard as stone."
"Dad, brother, it's still early in the solar term. Our family should wait. Maybe it will rain and the fields will be wet and plowed."
"My second thought is good, but who knows when it will rain?"
After Ye Laijin finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Laiyin and then at his father, "Dad, our family has ten acres of fertile farmland and two acres of second-class farmland. The land is so dry that we only rely on the three of us holding hoes."
How long will it take to plow the ground?"
The old man Ye puffed on his pipe and said, "If it doesn't rain, we can only rent cattle to plow the fields."
Ye Dahe is getting older and his body is not as good as before. He is often exhausted after a day of farm work. Thinking about digging the ground with a hoe makes him feel sick~
In previous years, the three of us would take advantage of the softness of the ground in the field after the rain and plow it bit by bit with hoes, but this year there hasn't been a drop of rain since this month, and the ground in the field is hard from the sun.
The three of us are digging with hoes, so we can’t hope to grow wheat!
Alas, there are still few men!
Among the families who plowed the fields, which one didn't have seven or eight men? They were all strong young men, so naturally they didn't have to worry about the work in the fields.
If he had seven or eight grandchildren, he could have been idle at home long ago, waiting for his children and grandchildren to grow food for him.
The eldest grandson is the future pillar of the family, so naturally he should focus on his studies first, and the second child's family...
That’s all, I don’t think about the second child, but it’s time for the third child to get married~
The third unfilial fellow doesn't care at all about family affairs, whether it's the summer harvest or the autumn harvest. He would never dare to come back. He and his sister are both lazy!
In the past, Ye Dahe loved his third son and his old daughter the most. Now, first he was hurt by his daughter, and now he is annoyed by his third son because of the work in the fields~
The eldest brother is still calm and down-to-earth, while the second eldest brother is capable of his duties... This chapter has been completed!
