After the meal was over, the others went to the fields to break grains. Xiang Jin, after clearing away the pots and pans in the kitchen and helping Aunt Liao feed the pigs, sat on a simple folding fabric bench.
Come down and tear up the rice dumplings with Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng.
She had been tearing it apart for less than ten minutes when Xiang Yao and her grandmother, Granny Yang, came and said they were here to help them tear the grain. Xiang Jin gave up his small bench to Granny Yang.
She also asked Xiang Nan to give up her small bench to Xiang Yao, followed her and got up and went to the house to get two simple folding small benches made of fabric. Then she asked Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo if they wanted to change them.
To be honest, it would hurt my buttocks to sit on that wooden bench for a long time. The two old men said no and let them sit on theirs.
Xiang Jin thought that she wouldn't be able to tear it apart for a while, and Bao Gu would have to prepare lunch, so she didn't insist on changing with them again.
After they sat down, Xiang Yao said, "Sister Xiang Jin, thank you for bringing the disinfectant for my mother."
Xiang Jin asked her, "Oh, by the way, has your mother used that for disinfection?"
Xiang Yao nodded, "Well, it's gone and bandaged."
Then Grandma Mo asked them, what happened to Xiang Yao's mother? Then Grandma Yang arranged the matter for her.
It was said that Xiang Yao's mother was killing pig grass at the door of the pig pen last night. Suddenly the chicken resting on the branch of the tree next to the pig pen flapped its wings and extinguished the kerosene lamp on the pig pen. Then she
One strike of the knife cut off his finger.
Everyone was sighing for a while, and then Grandma Mo asked, "Don't you have a light in your pigsty?"
Granny Yang said, "Anlai, the light bulb broke not long ago, and I haven't even had time to buy it and reinstall it, so during this period, we have been lighting kerosene lamps in the pig pen. Who knew that last night it was so bright?"
I was unlucky, and then I was slapped out by the chicken on my back, and that was the end of it."
Grandma Mo said, "You still have to be careful. It's summer now, so be careful of wound infection and inflammation."
Grandma Yang nodded, "That's right, but I'm so happy that Xiang Jin Yatou sent us the disinfectant, otherwise we would have asked her to go to the doctor to bandage her today."
Xiang Jin said, "Just disinfect it a few times a day. As long as you don't get bacterial infection, you should be fine."
Grandma Yang nodded, and then asked them while tearing the rice balls, "Hey, girl Jin, where is your grandma, has she gone back?"
Xiang Jin said, "Well, I'm back. My uncle and the others raised summer silkworms and said they were about to pick up the old silkworms. She went back to help them pick up the old silkworms and come back in a few days."
Grandma Yang nodded, "No wonder, I mean I haven't seen her in the past few days, but your grandma is also a restless person."
Xiang Jin responded, "That's right, I'm used to working hard."
Then Grandma Yang asked again, "How many summer silkworms do your uncles raise?"
Xiang Jin said, "It is said that their whole family has two pieces of paper."
Grandma Yang sighed, "Oh, that's still a lot to raise?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's okay."
Then Grandma Mo asked Grandma Yang, "Sister-in-law Yang, are you raising summer silkworms this year?"
Grandma Yang said, "We don't raise that one at home. Summer silkworms are not easy to raise. We raised them for several years but couldn't raise them well. Last year, the silkworms were about to go up the tree, but in the end they were all destroyed by me."
, either they became stiff for no reason or were bitten to death by flies, so we didn’t bother to raise them this summer.”
Grandma Mo said, "Summer silkworms are not easy to raise, so will you raise autumn silkworms next time?"
Grandma Yang said, "I want to raise autumn silkworms, but your sixth brother doesn't want to raise them. It's hot this year, so it's probably not easy to raise autumn silkworms, so we're still a little confused. I don't know.
Do you want to register that silkworm seed?"
Xiang Nan said, "Don't be afraid. If the silkworms are spoiled, you can still sell them at the drug store."
Mr. Zeng laughed and said, "There is no comparison between selling zombie silkworms and selling silkworm cocoons. Although the price of zombie silkworms is also high, it takes many silkworms to dry one pound of zombie silkworms, and the zombie silkworms are sold in drug stores."
The boss also looks at the quality and quality of the zombie silkworms to determine the price."
Xiang Nan turned her head and looked at her sister, "Is that so?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's probably true. Who doesn't choose a good one when shopping?"
Then Xiang Nan asked her what the price of zombie silkworms in the herbal medicine shop was this year, and how much did it cost per pound?
Xiang Jin said, "I don't care."
She really didn't care. She usually sold money grass, plantain, or pinellia, and she always left after selling out. They rarely saw other medicinal materials, so she just
Didn't pay much attention to it.
Furthermore, their family didn’t raise silkworms, and Aunt Liao didn’t raise silkworms either. Why did she understand that?
Xiang Nan said, "Then you should pay attention next time you go there. My uncle and uncle raise silkworms at home."
Xiang Jin glared at her angrily, "Crow's mouth, what are you talking about? Can't you hope that their silkworms will be better?"
The adults present laughed heartily, and Xiang Nan muttered, "I'm just saying that. Everyone is saying that summer silkworms are difficult to raise. I'm just worried. What if?"
There are also zombie silkworms among their silkworms, it would be a pity for them to throw them away."
Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry, your worries are unnecessary. As long as someone has raised silkworms at home, who doesn't know that zombie silkworms can be sold for money?"
The little girl said "oh" lightly.
Then everyone started talking about other things, but mainly Grandma Mo and Grandma Yang were talking, while the rest of them sat aside and listened.
About ten minutes later, Caizhu's sister-in-law from the mountain came back with a basket of bagu on her back and asked Xiang Jin to go to the fields.
Xiang Jin asked her what happened?
Then Caizhu's sister-in-law said that the people in Lao Xiang's family seemed to be causing trouble again.
Xiang Jin frowned and asked her what was going on.
Sister-in-law Caizhu said, "Aren't you guys from Lao Xiang's family also breaking grains today? Xiang Jiao and his wife also came back to help break them, but they don't want you to break the grains at the head of Roofjiwan. They want to call you
Go and break up the two-cent parcel of land on Wangjialing.
Everyone knows that the soil at the head of Roof Ridge Bay is fertile, and the grains grow well, and they are full of rice. There are very few rice grains from the top, and the land on Wangjialing is because of
If the sun doesn't show up for a long time, the soil will be poorer, so the grain on that piece of land will not grow well.
So, right now, I’m still talking to your mother in the field.”
Xiang Jin sneered, "Oh, she really didn't get beaten for three days and then went to the house to untie the tiles?"
After Grandma Mo and Grandma Yang heard this, they all frowned. They felt that this old Xiang family member was too domineering, especially the girl Xiang Jiao. You said you have been married for so many years.
, you are still meddling in your parents' affairs at every turn and come back to find other troubles, then you are a bit ignorant and annoying.
So several people present told Xiang Jin to go and have a look, so as not to let her mother suffer a loss later.
Xiang Jin asked Xiang Nan to go to the fields to pick some vegetables and pick some green onions, saying that she would be able to cook when she came back later, and then she followed Caizhu's sister-in-law to Roof Ridge Bay.
When Xiang Jin got there, she saw Xiang Jiao arrogantly pointing at her mother's nose and yelling curses. She rushed over in a few quick steps, then grabbed Xiang Jiao's finger and pushed it down hard.
Break.
Then I heard Xiang Jiao howling like a ghost, and her face suddenly became distorted and deformed, revealing a ferocious face, which was simply ugly.
She yelled back while speaking dirty to Xiang Jin, "Xiang Jin, you little bitch, let go, let me go, you want to break my fingers off?"
Xiang Jin refused to let go and pressed down hard, bending her fingers into a "bow" shape.
Xiang Jin suddenly took action, which surprised everyone present, especially Xiang Qiang, who had never dealt with Xiang Jin. He was also breaking up with Bao Gu today. He didn't expect her to be so fierce and tough.
Give someone a preemptive strike.
When Xu Zhibin saw it, he wanted to step forward to help Xiang Jiao. Xiang Jin squinted his eyes and shot him coldly, warning, "I advise you not to come over. If you dare to come over, I will
Just break her fingers off, do you believe it?"
Although Xiang Jin said those words in a very calm tone, Xu Zhibin knew that Xiang Jin could do what he said. After all, they had experienced how cruel this girl was before, so Xu Zhibin did not dare to step forward.
, could only stare in their direction warily.
Xiang Jiao was in great pain and wanted to grab Xiang Jin's hair, but her other hand was tightly restrained by her. She wanted to kick her with her feet, but she was too far away from her.
Not only was she unable to kick the ball over a long distance, but her fingers started to hurt as much as she exerted a little force. She was really being controlled by others.
So she could only use her mouth, "Xiang Jin, you little bitch, I am your aunt, you dare to treat me like this, are you not afraid of thunder?"
"The sky was struck by lightning?" A sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Xiang Jin's mouth, "It must be you who was struck by lightning, right? Do you know that your ugly face is really disgusting even to humans and gods?
Is that too much? Are you still an aunt? Do you deserve it?! Let me tell you, Xiang Jin and Xiang Nan have never had aunts in their lives. If you want to act as our elders, there is no way!"
Xiang Jiao glared at her fiercely, "You little bitch, even if you don't admit it, it can't change the facts. As long as you have the blood of my old Xiang family flowing in your body, I will be your elder!"
"Tch," Xiang Jin glanced at her contemptuously, "Then I have to recognize you? If I don't recognize you, what can you do to me? Who are you? You are no different from the mud on the ground.
!
My mother planted the crops. She is compassionate. She saw that the old woman and the old man in your family were pitiful and had no food to share, so she gave you half of the crops. Not only did you not know how to be grateful, you also wanted to take it all for yourself. Do you think it's possible?
What?"
After saying that, she pinched her fingers and pressed down hard, then raised her foot and kicked her directly on the knee. Then she pushed her hand again, and Xiang Jiao went straight towards the back.
A whole field of grain fell over.
Xiang Jiao was in pain and panic, so she pulled at two corn stalks randomly to prevent herself from falling to the ground. Seeing this, Xu Zhibin hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Xu Zhibin stood in front of him, and Xiang Jiao suddenly felt confident. He glared at Xiang Jin and started shouting again, "Who took it all? Didn't I tell you to break up the land in Wangjialing? Divide the land here into four quarters, and divide the land there.
Exactly two points."
Xiang Jin crossed his arms and looked at her as if she was a retard, "Why are you spreading peppercorns in your graveyard? Who doesn't know that the land in Wangjialing is barren, does not show sunlight, and the crops are not growing well, so you let us go and break them
, why don’t you break it off yourself?
Let me tell you, since it was agreed upon at the beginning, everything will be done as agreed. No matter whether it is bad or not, it will be half of the family.
If you don't abide by the agreement and make me angry, I won't even give you a grain of food. Do you believe it or not?"
"How dare you!" Xiang Jiao pointed at Xiang Jin's nose again.
Xiang Jin stared at her finger, "It seems that you wanted to break this finger today."
When Xiang Jiao heard what she said, she quickly put her hands behind her back, but the look in her eyes that raised her chin and looked at Xiang Jin was still extremely arrogant.
Xiang Jin said, "You really don't say that word, I really dare to do that! I am good at everything, but I can't stand being provoked or threatened. If you think your arrogance is useful, you can't stand it."
You can try again."
Then she looked at Wang Yun and her daughter, who had been watching their quarrel from beginning to end but never spoke, and said, "Give you another chance, or we all count the rows of each piece of land."
Come and say goodbye, then you can just go away and not say goodbye. We will collect the grain and pay you the rent for this season's land according to the price of land contracted by others near the town."
Wang Yun, mother and daughter, immediately panicked. How much is the rent for land? How much is the rent for one acre of land worth? The crops grown on it are not as valuable.
If these grains were gone, wouldn't those two old immortals have a lot of reasons to ask them for money? If they don't have anything to eat today, they would ask them for money. If they don't have anything to eat tomorrow, they would ask them for money.
Money, not to mention raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and other beasts at home.
"Xiang Jin, you are arrogant!" Xiang Jiao glared at her and said fiercely.
Xiang Jin said, "I call this fairness. I will pay you the rent of the land near the town, so you can enjoy it secretly, otherwise I will pay you the rent of the land in the mountains..."
Before she finished speaking, Wang Yun on the side quickly joined in, "Then count the rows of grain according to what you said, and then everyone will share it equally. You break one side, and we break one side. If there are single rows, we will
A family and a half."
Xiang Jin said, "It's really rare that there is a reasonable person in the old Xiang family."
Wang Yun heard the sarcasm in her words, and her face suddenly felt hot. However, she was glad that the weather was relatively hot at the moment, so even if she blushed, it wouldn't be obvious.
Then Xiang Jin walked aside to count the number of rows of grain bags. It was an even number, and then everyone divided it equally. Then Xiang Jin took a small basket from her mother's hand, and carried the basket on her back from the row bordering Lao Xiang's house.
They started to break it off. When the people they invited to help saw it, they hurriedly started to break it off one by one.
After Xiang Jin finished her trip, she went home directly with a basket of rice and cereals on her back, because she also had to start preparing lunch.
After returning, she asked Xiang Nan to say hello to Xiang Yao's mother and Yan Chen and ask them to come to their house for lunch. Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng had no objection because the two families were familiar with each other and knew that Xiang Jin was a good person.
The invitation is not fake.
On the other hand, Xiang Yao's grandmother, Granny Yang, was very polite and said that she would just go back and do it later, so there was no need to go to so much trouble. Xiang Jin naturally disagreed. She was joking, how could she go back after helping someone with work without eating?
For meals?
Then Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo also tried to persuade her, saying that Xiang Jin’s cooking skills were very good and the food he cooked was delicious, so he could try it.
In the end, Granny Yang had no choice but to agree, and Xiang Jin asked Xiang Nan and Xiang Yao to go together, otherwise Xiang Yao's mother might not be able to come.
The two agreed, quickly stood up from their seats, and ran out quickly. Xiang Jin then told Xiang Nan to come back early and cook a pot for her later.
