Chapter 8

And her three sons are still working hard to cut rice.

"Hey, isn't this Wenxin's mother, who actually started working in the fields, the sun really came out from the west."

A disharmonious voice suddenly sounded from behind, Xu Miaomiao looked back, it was Ma Yan, the widow in the village, the two had always been at odds.

Xu Miaomiao was thirsty and tired, and she was in no mood to talk to her, nor did she want to talk to her.

Ma Yan has always been a mean-spirited person, who likes to gossip, spread gossip in the village, and likes to mock others in person, just like now.

"Widow Xu, why didn't you lie down at home today? You are so tired after working, how can you feel comfortable lying down at home?"

Seeing that Xu Miaomiao ignored her, Ma Yan got excited, sat down next to Xu Miaomiao, and even abducted her arm.

Xu Miaomiao frowned, and sat aside in disgust, "It's comfortable at home, why don't you lie down at home?"

Ma Yan was choked, and the smile on her face couldn't hold back, "Oh, I'm different from you, what about your four sons, what a blessing, I only have one daughter, if I don't work, there will be no family If people are working, then I have to drink Northwest Fen."

Speaking of this, she felt heartbroken, angry at her stomach for not living up to expectations.

Although Xu Miaomiao lost her husband like her, she had four sons, which was enough for her to live straight in Liujia Village.

Unlike herself, she gave birth to a cheap girl, she is still lazy, if she doesn't do the housework, she will starve to death.

"Then you have a baby too, it's not like you don't have a stomach." Xu Miaomiao shrugged, giving birth to a child is not a technical job, it's like opening a blind box, it's either a boy or a girl, it's just a matter of having more.

Boys and girls are the same, they are all their own children.

Boys have to spend money to marry a wife for him. Girls don't worry, they are considerate, careful and filial.

Xu Miaomiao has a headache when she thinks that she has four sons. It's all responsibility, it's money!

After speaking, Xu Miaomiao continued to work in the fields without even looking at Ma Yan.

Ma Yan stood up from where she was, stomping her feet angrily.

The fat widow Xu Miaomiao dared to laugh at her for not being able to bear a son!
She also wants to give birth, so there must be someone who can give birth with her!
Soon the grain in this field was all harvested, and several people took the grain home and began to thresh rice. It was the kind of thresher, manual, and roller style.

The operation is very simple, but also very tiring.

Xu Miaomiao also joined the ranks of harvesting rice in order to let her sons go to the mountain to dig Poria cocos as soon as possible.

At noon, I took a casual bite, and until three o'clock in the afternoon, the five people finally finished the rice in the yard.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at the fruits of labor piled up in the yard, and felt a sense of pride spontaneously. At the same time, the aches and fatigue all over her body became more and more obvious.

She is so tired, she really wants to lie on the bed and sleep in the dark!

"Mom, are we still going to dig Poria cocos on the mountain?" Liu Wenle asked standing in front of Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Miaomiao hesitated, if she went, she would be too tired today, and if she didn't, she would feel like an ant biting her heart.

Finally she gritted her teeth, "Go!"

If you have money but don't make a bastard, at worst, she can go to the mountain and watch her sons dig it.

She can dig as much as she can, as long as she digs home, it is hers.

"I want to stay at home and move the food into the room and store it." Liu Wenjun glanced at Xu Miaomiao expressionlessly, and then went to continue working in the yard.

Xu Miaomiao didn't bother with him, she could tell that the third son among these sons had a bigger opinion of her, no matter what she did, he seemed to be on guard and tended to think the worst.

In fact, he just didn't believe her, maybe he thought she was messing around.

Xu Miaomiao could understand Liu Wenjun's emotions.

Fortunately, the boss and the second child have opinions on her in their hearts, but they still listen to her more and are not so rebellious.

The four took their tools and bags and went straight up the mountain.

"It's just ahead, I'll take you there." Liu Wenle excitedly led the way like a little adult.

After a while.

"That's right here. My mother and I dug Poria cocos here yesterday." Liu Wenle said, pointing to the ground.

Liu Wenxin and Liu Wenshao looked at each other, and then looked at Xu Miaomiao who was following behind.

Xu Miaomiao was exhausted and panicked, she walked slower than them, and was out of breath after finally reaching the destination.

She took a rest, "That's right, it's here, you can dig it after you rest, be careful not to damage it."

She just doesn't have the strength to work now anyway.

After speaking, he found a rock and sat down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked a large leaf from the side and started to fan the wind.

However, it is much cooler in the mountains than in the village. This contrast is quite obvious.

After resting for a while, Xu Miaomiao joined the poria-digging team, rested for a while when she was tired, and continued digging when she was rested.

By the way, sell some of the dug Poria cocos.

She sells very little, the eldest son and second son are here, she can't do it so obviously.

She didn't buy three catties until she went home, earning 60 yuan.

On the way home, Liu Wenxin carried Poria on his back, and several other people followed behind and quickly went down the mountain. It was getting dark, and the dark mountain was not safe.

The next day, a few people went up the mountain again just after dawn. They didn't even go home for lunch for a whole day, and finally dug up this piece of Poria cocos.

And the news that Xu Miaomiao took several sons to dig tree roots on the mountain also spread like wildfire, and became a topic of discussion in the village.

Xu Miaomiao didn't know that people in the village were talking about her. After being tired for two days, she just wanted to sleep well. This night, she slept very soundly. Even the thunder and rain did not wake her up.

She didn't know that her sons got up in the middle of the night and took the poria cocos in the yard into the house.

When Xu Miaomiao woke up in the morning, it was no longer raining, and traces of rain could still be seen in the yard.

"Wenxin, help me carry all the poria cocos into the bullock cart at the entrance of the village. I'm going to the market today, tell Uncle Niu that I'll be there soon, you go to the bullock cart and wait for me first." Xu Miaomiao went I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

When Liu Wenxin was about to ask him if he was going too, Xu Miaomiao had already entered the kitchen.

He didn't talk much at first, so he had to put the bags of Poria cocos on the bullock cart first, and sat on the bullock cart to wait for Xu Miaomiao's arrival.

"Wen Xin, what's in your pocket?"

"Is it food? Is your mother going to the town to sell food for money?"

Seeing Liu Wenxin blushing and shaking his head, they didn't believe it, and immediately began to gossip and change the subject.

"Wenxin, doesn't your mother give your brothers some food every day?"

"Looking at how skinny your brothers are, you just don't have enough to eat every day. It's really pitiful."

"By the way, Wenxin, you are seventeen this year, and you will be able to meet someone in two years. With the current conditions of your family, I guess no one will be willing to marry you. It is impossible to count on your mother." , you have to make plans for yourself early."
