Chapter 69
"Sister-in-law, aunts, I'm really sorry, are you all right?"

Su Mo smiled and pulled up the women who had fallen to the ground one by one.

"it's okay no problem."

"It's our fault. I got excited and should be waiting at your door."

"It's not that my aunt said, you are too strong."

The women talked a lot, but none of them got angry.

They came here to give thank you gifts, not to seek revenge. There is no need to worry about how big the wrestling is.

Su Mo returned an apologetic smile again.

She really couldn't be blamed for this matter, twenty or so black and white people ran towards her quickly, and they ran with hideous faces.

Subconsciously, she thought she was looking for trouble, so she hurriedly made an attack posture and punched him.

If she hadn't heard someone thanking her loudly, she retracted her fist and turned around in time, it wouldn't be as simple as being knocked down by her.

The women all regained their strength and handed over the basket happily.

"I heard from my man that thanks to the soil improvement you mentioned, the village will get this job, and there are still things to do in the future.

I don't have any good things here, just the dried fish that is dried at home, you can try it. "

"This is the mud snail that my child went to pick up in Haide yesterday. After processing it, it can be fried directly by soaking it in clear water."

"..."

The woman chatted in a hurry, pulling the basket and putting it in front of Su Mo.

Su Mo was forced to be surrounded by them to the door of his house, it was hard to turn down the kindness.

"Then I'll accept it with the cheek, thank you aunts and sisters-in-law."

Su Mo pushed open the door and accepted the gifts from the women. At the same time, she also found that the people who came were all daughters-in-law of the Chen family.

She had a rough idea in her mind, and she was thinking about counting the fields of these people's homes first when using the soil quality improvement solution.

Then the women were left in for a sip of tea, but when it was time for dinner, the women had to go home to cook, so they declined Su Mo's kindness one after another.

"I'll come back when I'm free, I have to go back and get some food."

"We'll be here then, don't think we're noisy."

"That's impossible. Just come here when you have time. I'll stay at home when I have nothing to do."

Su Mo responded with a smile, and sent them out. As soon as they left the yard, a woman heard the crowing of a chick.

Despite the sound, I noticed the difference in the old Gu family house. The fields on both sides had been overturned, and there were sprouts not far from each other. Chickens and ducks were wandering around, and a fence was surrounded by the vegetable fields.

"The Gu family, what are you?"

"Oh, this land is also empty, so I'll tidy it up and plant some vegetables, which will save money for buying vegetables in the future."

"Can it still be like this?"

The women looked at each other, as if they had opened the door to a new world.

Su Mo looked serious: "Aren't other villages like this?"

The faces of the women were distorted suddenly, and the memories that they had subconsciously ignored emerged, as if some kind of imprisonment was shattered with a "bang".

"Looks like it is."

"From the fourth family, aren't you from Xinghua Village? Does your natal family grow vegetables?"

The woman who was yelled was startled for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and the confusion in her eyes gradually receded.

"Grow it, what will you eat if you don't grow it?

Apart from me, my family has two older brothers and two younger sisters. They eat steamed buns for three meals. How can I have money to buy vegetables? "

After speaking, she froze.

Women married from other neighboring villages were also a little confused.

In my natal village, who doesn't have a vegetable field next to her house, how come no one thought of this when she married into Luoshan Village?

What exactly is going on?

A group of people can't figure it out no matter what they think.

Forget it, don't think about it if you don't understand it.

The women are not the kind to turn a blind eye, insisting on figuring out the reason.

The sun became hotter and hotter, and the women returned to smiling and waved with Su Mo.

"Going back, I still have to work on lunch."

Su Mo also smiled back, and only went into the yard after everyone had left.

The group of women chatted as they walked, and the more they chatted, the more evil they felt.

Some of them have been married for more than ten years, and it's not like they haven't returned to their natal homes during this period, but they don't feel anything wrong.

Some of the timid ones hugged themselves with their arms around their chests, their voices trembling:

"And I also found out that what I ate at my mother's house were all steamed buns made of cornmeal, or boiled sweet potatoes, or other miscellaneous grains.

The white rice grown at home is deducted from the tax, and it is sold if it can be sold. Only a few catties of white rice are kept for eating during the New Year and festivals, and there is also broken rice that cannot be sold, mixed with boiled sweet potatoes.

But I have been married for so many years, and all I buy is white rice and flour. The four of my family go fishing, and the money I earn is still not enough.

The key point is that I go back to my mother's house several times a year. I watched my mother go to the vegetable field to choose vegetables and eat cornmeal buns at my mother's house. I didn't feel that there was any problem. "

"You said, it can't be the punishment given by the Sea God for us to go fishing too often?"

"I think so, we used to go to the sea to touch sea mussels and go to the shore to pick up seaweeds during the fishing ban.

This year, because the Gu family set up a job for the village, we all stayed at home to make food, and the child carried a bucket to the shore to play.

Hey, this shows us that something is wrong. "

The women talked more and more mysteriously, and finally, they decided to talk to the village chief, the punishment of the sea god was a big deal, and they had to ask the sorceress to have a look.

The village head is staying at home.

The men who go to work are all from one household to one person, and they are all poor and honest.

He also thought about it, this job is done every day, and it is better to have money than to have no money.

Unexpectedly, there is work to be done during the entire fishing ban.

As the head of the village, he couldn't be happier.

As soon as I came back, I called Chen Yuanhai, who was going to the county seat, and asked him to send a message to his son who was an accountant in the county, to buy him a bottle of good wine, and then to buy some pastries that the child loved, and let Chen Yuanhai Bring it back.

The good wine is drunk by oneself, and the pastry is given to Su Mo. If Su Mo hadn't mentioned the improvement of soil quality, there would be no such job at all.

And if it weren't for the fact that Su Mo was good friends with the county magistrate's cousin, the shopkeeper Renfang wouldn't help at all, and let the job fall on the villagers.

It's not easy for the shopkeeper to give gifts, so he naturally gave them to Su Mo.

It's just that Chen Yuanhai brought the things here, and he was planning to deliver the things after dinner, when twenty or so women came to visit him.

His expression was nervous and mysterious, which made the village head feel that something bad happened.

"what happened?"

The village head spoke first.

The woman at the front is the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, from Xinghua Village, her surname is Li, and her husband is the oldest among Chen Cihai and his generation.

"Second Uncle, we feel that the village has been punished by the Sea God!"

Mrs. Li told the guesses of the few of them all the way, and there are reasons.

"Look, in the past, when the fishing season was closed in our village, the men would rest at home for a day, and we would pick up the sea and touch mussels with buckets.

When the men have had enough rest, they will go to the beach together, and they will never think of finding work at all.

There were one or two who went there, either because the jobs they found were hard and tiring and the wages were low, or they only worked for half a day, and they were not allowed to go again.

But this year, we all got together to chat because of the Gu family's mention of improving the soil quality, so we sent the children to carry the buckets, and the work was delivered directly to the door.

Then I went to Gu's house today, who had vegetable fields on both sides of Gu's house, and also raised chickens and ducks.

It stands to reason that my natal family also grows vegetables, but I have been married for so many years, I have never thought about growing vegetables, and I spend money to buy them..."
