Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 66

Although Li Xiuniang is a woman from the countryside, Li Xiuniang has a certain degree of scheming. Of course, there are good and bad schemings. Some are for the survival of her family, while others are for ruthless thoughts. To deprive others of their hard work and use it for your own use.

After Li Xiuniang saw He Yuzhu for the first time, she recognized He Yuzhu. This feeling seemed to be destiny, so Li Xiuniang let her children recognize He Yuzhu as their uncle.

Li Xiuniang also recognized He Yuzhu's younger brother from the bottom of her heart. Later, when Li Xiuniang defended He Yuzhu, she really regarded He Yuzhu as her biological brother.

"Let's go. Follow uncle home."

At about 17 o'clock, He Yuzhu took Hua Ya and Gou'er back to the courtyard. There were nurses from the hospital taking care of Li Xiuniang. He Yuzhu didn't need to worry. It was unnecessary for the two children to stay there, so He Yuzhu took them back. courtyard.

"Why did You Zhuzhu bring the child back?" The third uncle stood at the door of the house and looked at He Yuzhu and asked.

"Oh, these are my nieces and nephews from far away. Their mother was ill and hospitalized, so they asked me to bring the two little guys back." He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

"When did you have nephews and nieces from far away? Why didn't I hear about it?" The third uncle showed an inquiring look.

At this time, He Yuzhu smiled and took out a meat ticket directly from his pocket and threw it to the third uncle with a smile. The third uncle took the meat ticket in his hand with great skill and said with a smile: "For me?"

"It's for you. From now on, my nephews and nieces will most likely go to Hongxing Elementary School to attend school. You may want to help me." He Yuzhu finished speaking: "Okay, rest a while. I'll go to school first." Go back with the kids, these two little guys haven’t eaten lunch yet, so I’ll get some hot food for them to eat first.”

"Okay. Zhuzi, if anything happens, please let me know." The third uncle looked at the meat ticket in his hand and showed a happy smile. He did not continue to explore, but immediately went home happily to announce the good news.

He Yuzhu looked at the happy back of the third uncle and smiled slightly, then took Hua Ya and the dog home. As soon as he got home, He Yuzhu saw the black footprints on the door of his house.

At this time, He Yuzhu looked slightly at the small window of Qin Huairu's house and snorted coldly. Then he led Hua Ya and Gou'er to open the door and followed him into the house.

"Are you hungry?"

He Yuzhu looked at Hua Ya and Gou'er and laughed.

Hua Ya was okay, but Gou'er looked at He Yuzhu and nodded repeatedly: "Uncle, I want to eat cornmeal steamed buns."

"Well, I really don't have this." He Yuzhu smiled. He was not lying. He really didn't have corn flour steamed buns at home. They were all white flour, rice, and corn flour steamed buns. They were too unpalatable and He Yuzhu wouldn't eat them.

"Dog, you can only take what your uncle gives you. If your uncle doesn't give it to you, you can't take it." Hua Ya immediately scolded her brother sternly.

The dog blinked his little eyes and showed a little aggrieved expression, but He Yuzhu laughed and said: "It's nothing, Hua Ya. I am your uncle now, you can eat whatever you want, but I am the cornmeal steamed buns." Really do not have.

And I have to cook later, so you eat a can of canned food first, um. Do you like oranges and peaches? "

"Canned food?" The two little guys swallowed slightly and looked at He Yuzhu at a loss.

"Hi." He Yuzhu shook his head: "Ask what you two are doing. I'll open a can of yellow peaches for you. You go and sit over there, and I'll get you a bowl each."

Hua Ya and Gou'er were very obedient and went to prepare the food. Then He Yuzhu took a bowl for each of the two little guys, then opened a can of yellow peaches and divided them evenly into two bowls.

When He Yuzhu brought two bowls of canned yellow peaches to Hua Ya and Gou'er, the two little guys were stunned for a moment, then He Yuzhu reminded him in a low voice: "Eat!"

After that, the two little guys started to wolf down the canned yellow peach.The moment Hua Ya took the first bite of the canned yellow peach, she felt a different kind of happiness all over her body. It was so sweet, so sweet. Hua Ya had never tasted such a sweet and delicious can in her life. .

Hua Ya had only seen this kind of canned yellow peach at the supply and marketing cooperative in her village before, but where could she get it?

There are only three people in Hua Ya's family, her brother, her mother and herself. Her father is not at home all year round, so the family can only rely on her mother's work points to support her family. You must know that her mother can only work eight points a day.

So Hua Ya, who was four or five years old, had already started to help her mother share the burden of the family.

At that time, adults got up early and came back late every day. In addition to working during the day, they sometimes had to go out to work early in the morning (or carry water for diluting the dung pits (diluting the dung pit), or harvest rapeseed), and they had to go out at night when there was a moon. Night work (or cutting wheat, or digging out sweet potato compartments, etc.).

They are very tired every day.Therefore, the housework can only be done by the children at home.

Basically starting from the age of four or five, Hua Ya and the dog can help with household tasks, such as sweeping the floor, pumping the bellows, cooking, washing sweet potatoes. When they are a little older, they can feed the pigs, go out to collect firewood, collect pig grass, and so on. When they are a little older, they can grind mills, pound rice, collect dog dung and cow dung to earn tuition fees, etc.

Every year in the tenth month of winter, Hua Ya has to go home in time after school and is busy moving the red sweet potato vines or halves of red sweet potato allocated by the production team from the soil. This is the main feed for the pigs at home. She is afraid of being late. Got it by someone else.

Usually, dogs carry baskets on their backs, and flowers are carried in baskets. After each move, the day after tomorrow is basically dark.After returning home, I have to be busy scouring red sweet potatoes, cutting pigweed, cooking rice, and cooking pig food.Daily homework can only be done at night under a kerosene lamp.

In the twelfth month, after school, Hua Ya was busy going to the river to carry the banana straw distributed by the production team, because it was one of the main firewood for cooking rice and pig food at home, so there was no need to be careless.

However, it is very difficult to carry the banana stalks. First, the banana stalks are too long and heavy (wet), so it is difficult to carry them. If the wind blows, it will be even more difficult to carry. If you are not careful, you will be blown to the ground or fall. Into the river.

Second, the banana leaves have serrations on both sides and are covered with a lot of dust. In addition, they are bundled into scissors and forks and carried on the neck. Therefore, every time they are carried, there will be many stripes on the face, neck, and hands. If the bloody mouth is stained by sweat and dust, the wound will be itchy and painful, which is very uncomfortable.

When the dog was four years old, he went with Hua Ya to collect firewood and hunt pig grass.

At first, because I was small, I couldn't carry a big basket, so I put the firewood or cut pigweed in Huaya's basket.After a long time, she found this very inconvenient, so she begged Li Xiuniang to knit a small back bamboo basket for herself.

Later, Li Xiuniang took her free time to knit one for the dog out of bamboo strips.

But what I didn’t expect was that because of the warm weather, the dog had no clothes on. In addition, the back canopy was new and the backrest had not been smoothed yet. Therefore, just after carrying the new canopy for a long time, the dog’s back was worn out. The flesh and blood were blurred, the flesh and blood filled the seams, and it was very painful.

Later, my back became infected, festered, and I could only sleep on my side at night.At the same time, due to the unpleasant smell and the merciless harassment of flies, the dogs were even more miserable.

Fortunately, there were kind people in the village who treated the dog for nearly a month before he fully recovered.The scars from that time are still clearly visible on the dog's back.

There is a saying that is really wrong, that is, only by enduring hardship can one become a superior person. Hua Ya and Gou'er suffered too much, but can these hardships make them become superior people?

That is completely impossible.

"delicious!"

A can of canned yellow peaches made the two little guys very happy. At this time, they felt unprecedented happiness. It was also because of this that Hua Ya and Gou'er were really too close to He Yuzhu.

At this time, He Yuyu and Yu Haitang returned home.
