A peasant girl through the ages

Chapter 52

When Lin Changhe went back at noon, Xinyu had arranged everything in the house. Where do you go to find such a girl? I don't know if his mother really cares?

After Xinyu finished drinking the ginger soup for the couple, she hurriedly let them take a hot bath.

During the meal, the rain became a little lighter, and both Lin Changhe and Du Qiuchan felt relieved.

"Is the rain going to stop?"

Xinyu gave a wry smile: "As long as it's not sunny, no one dares to say stop, Mom, hurry up and eat, take a nap at noon, and I will go up the mountain for you in the afternoon, and you can rest at home."

How can Du Qiuchan let her daughter go to work in the mountains?The child is still young, and besides, the little girl can't soak in the rain for a long time, which is not good for the child's health.

"No, you stay at home, Mom is fine."

Xinyu didn't agree: "Mom, I'm not discussing this matter with you. You definitely can't do this. If you continue like this, you don't have to wait until the crops are harvested. You will be overwhelmed. You listen to me and you go tomorrow. Let's switch between the two of us.

Actually, I don't want both of you to go to the mountain, but it's okay if you don't go to Langkou, it's related to the population and rations of the whole village. Dad, you should bear with it first, and then go to the mountain with wine in the afternoon. "

Lin Changhe has nothing to say about the arrangements for his daughter: "Qiu Chan, you listen to your children's arrangements. You have done all kinds of work these years. If you don't know your body, how can I not understand? Let Xinyu go up the mountain in the afternoon. Sigh , these two older ones don???t know how to go home and see what???s going on, are they still going to work????

Du Qiuchan glared at Lin Changhe: "What's the situation at home, neither of them can help, and the child has to go to work? After finally becoming a regular, don't give bad ideas, the children will naturally come back when it's time to come back."

The husband and wife were really tired, and fell asleep on the hot kang after eating.

Xinyu was also sleepy, took a nap to see that the time was almost up, and called Lin Changhe to go up the mountain together.

The rain in the afternoon tended to stop gradually, and this situation made everyone working very excited.

"God finally opened his eyes. Hurry up and stop. If we don't stop, our house will be flooded."

Someone nearby said: "Our house is already flooded, and our neighbor's house is still leaking. Alas, what's the matter? We all rushed together."

Everyone babbled a few words while scrambling to collect them, especially when they saw some moldy corn, everyone's heart was wrenched, this is all food, a single piece of corn can be enough for their family to drink a messy porridge.

Xinyu's work for Du Qiuchan still attracted the attention of the big guys. I thought this kid couldn't do a good job. After all, little girl, no matter how capable you are, you can still be better than a crop veteran?

Ke Xinyu's performance surprised everyone. Although the child didn't make a sound, the work in his hand was really no worse than that of an adult.

"Changhe, why are you willing to let your daughter go up the mountain? This girl is a good hand."

Lin Changhe smiled wryly: "The child is not willing to part with her mother, the two mothers are going to exchange, if they don't let her go, what should I do? Listen to the child."

Someone teased: "Have such a girl, you can secretly enjoy yourself."

In fact, there are quite a few children as old as Xinyu working on the mountain. The problem is that Lin Changhe and his wife rarely let Xinyu work. The performance exceeded all expectations.

On the way, Xinyu was dispatched to distribute the food, each family had people, and the food they got back had to be distributed quickly, and how to dry the food would depend on the magical powers of each family.

Xinyu was weighing and the accountant was recording. Old men, old ladies, and even children from each family came to collect food from each family.

In the end, Xinyu helped Du Qiuchan send home the food that she had shared with her family.

When it was time to eat dinner, Xinyu found out that the captain led the leaders from the commune down to inspect the work.

Du Qiuchan sighed: "I don't know if relief food can be distributed from above. I think there are a lot of losses in the field."

Lin Changhe took a sip of the wine: "It's not bad, the old man cried when he saw such food."

During the eating time, many people came to Lin Changhe???s house to borrow firewood. The house was really not enough. When they entered the yard of Lin Changhe???s house, everyone was envious. The degree of water inflow varies from house to house, but The yard must not be able to run, and some people???s homes have flooded. Because of the rat hole, children and the elderly have to scoop water outside every day at home, otherwise they will not be able to sleep at night.

We all know that Xinyu was busy collecting firewood on the mountain all day during that time, and now it's done, so that the big guys have hope in their hearts.

"Here, it's gone, and the day is almost sunny."

Du Qiuchan had spoken, and Lin Changhe was busy helping others to move firewood. The firewood in the room was neatly stacked, and it was almost stuffed to the roof. It made people feel envious when they saw it. In autumn, people have all the firewood for winter, and they almost can't even cook food.

The last ones came were Lin Changhe's two younger brothers. There were many children and daughters in the family, and the children didn't have much strength to pick up firewood, so they could only get some sticks to go home and cook. A piece of wood can burn for a long time, and you need this kind of wood to bake food. You can't stay up all night and watch the fire, right?
The younger brother came, and Lin Changhe gave a lot. Lin Changhai and Lin Changgui even complained to the second brother: "Originally, someone went to your house to borrow firewood, and the two of us didn't have the nerve to come. I was afraid that your house would not have enough. The third brother and I I borrowed it from my elder brother's house. You know what my mother said, saying that their house is not enough to burn.

Alas, this is our own mother. It is useless for her daughter-in-law to show up. The old lady just sent us away. Can we both know how much firewood they have? We both live in the same street. Second brother, I Now I finally understand how you were feeling at that time. "

Lin Changhe doesn't want to make any more comments now: "Okay, no matter what happens, they are also relatives and relatives. They are absolutely perfect. We can't be like them. If there is something missing at home, just let us know."

Du Qiuchan picked up a piece of salted pork for each of the two families: "Take it home and the whole family will make up for it. If you are so tired, let alone adults, I think the children will not be able to bear it. It was given by my mother. Just don't think too little."

How could Lin Changhai and Lin Changgui think it's too little? It's a big piece, weighing more than two catties. Usually they are reluctant to buy this kind of meat, and now they have no place to buy it. It's just their second sister-in-law. It's a pity that the family is too poor.

When there were no outsiders in the family, Lin Changhe touched his daughter's head and said with emotion: "It's still our family's heart is very rainy, you say that your child is so lucky, everything is done, and the heavy rain is here. What a shame! Blessed child."

Du Qiuchan gave her man a white look: "Why don't you say you are lazy, you work hard, is the child like this?"

Lin Changhe said disapprovingly: "I'm lazy? If others are not lazy, they are not better than us. Do you see that their family is not short of firewood? I have a good girl who can make up for my shortcomings. Who told them not to have such a girl? Woolen cloth?"
