The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 19 Dispute
  In the hall, Mrs. Zhou was holding two pieces of dark red patterned material in her hands and was talking to the old man when she heard the words of the third daughter-in-law. The smile on his face stopped for a moment and he looked at a few people.

Yang and He, who were discussing how to dress up their two children as sisters, stopped talking instantly when they heard their sister-in-law's words.

Zhao Yuntong winked at He, who took her hand and said, "Third brother and sister, that lake-blue material is very beautiful. She has fair skin, so she will look good in that color."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she knew that Mrs. He was unwilling, and turned to look at her sister-in-law, Mrs. Yang.

Yang looked at the material in her hand and refused: "Third brother and sister, this material is Xiaojiu's size. Yun Shu is too small for making clothes."

When Zhao Yunshu heard that both aunts rejected her, the unhappiness on her face became more and more obvious. When Mrs. Wu saw it, she said, "It's okay, sister-in-law. I can cut off a piece to make it more colorful."

"Third Aunt, I like this color and don't want to change it."

Zhao Yunshu looked at Zhao Yunxi in disbelief when she heard this. After all, she would give it up to him whenever she raised it before.

Seeing that both sisters were reluctant, Zhao Yunshu became even more unhappy.

Zhao Yunxi looked at her changing expression and knew what she was thinking. She has the memory of the original owner. Before she came, as long as Zhao Yunshu spoke, Zhao Yunxi would give her his things to her.

But she is not the original owner and I don’t want to spoil her. Even if he didn't like the color of the material, he didn't want to give up his things to Zhao Yunshu.

The two little sisters didn't care about Zhao Yunshu's angry eyes and turned around to discuss how to dress up as sisters.

Mrs. Zhou looked up at Mrs. Wu and her daughter displeased, and said, "I chose this material. If you don't like it, just buy it for your child with your own money."

When Zhao Yunshu heard her grandmother's words, she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. He clenched his hands and glared fiercely at the two people sitting beside him.

Because of Zhou's words, the episode ended like this.

at night.

Zhao Yunxi looked at the wheat and rice in the space that had finished filling and would be almost mature in a few days.

The kiwi vines have already grown into a forest. At this rate, they will bear fruit next spring. The citrus tree will probably not bear fruit until next fall.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yunxi said to Zhao Youcai: "Second uncle, let's go to the fields to look at the wheat today. The weather is getting colder and colder. I don't know how it is growing. There are also kiwis on the mountain. Check to see if they sprout. Cover with a layer of straw if necessary."

"Okay, we'll go after breakfast later. Don't go. It's getting cold and you'll catch a cold."

Listening to his second uncle's caring words, Zhao Yunxi felt very warm in his heart. In this family, she received too much pampering.

He smiled and said, "Second uncle, don't worry. I'm in good health."

Looking at his little niece jumping into the house, Zhao Youcai smiled helplessly.

After breakfast, Zhao Youcai took a few children and walked into the fields. Before I even reached the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, I heard laughter from the villagers.

The villagers chatting under the tree watched the Zhao family walking by.

"Zhao Laoer, where are you going? I heard that your family made a lot of money selling wild fruits!"

Hearing this, Zhao Youcai looked at the man who spoke and said, "Go and have a look in the field. A few children are tinkering with the wild fruits and selling them to earn some household income."

"If you have money, you are dishonest. I heard that you sell fruit in the county town for thirty cents a pound."

The person who spoke was the second uncle of the Wang family, who was famous in the village for being stingy and selfish.

"People in the city have never seen wild fruits, so the price is a bit higher. Don't people in the village pick them too? Don't they sell them?"

"It was sold, but the fruit was sour and unpalatable, and no one bought it. Does your family have any secret recipe? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to sell the same fruit." Zhao Yunxi looked at the woman who was speaking, and found that she was following the Zhou family before. We went to the woods together.

"There is no secret recipe. Even if there is a secret recipe, it is a secret. Why should I tell you for nothing."

"Girl from the Zhao family, you can't be so selfish. We are all from the same village, so what if you tell us to make some money?"

Zhao Yunxi looked at the speaker. He was a well-known gangster in the village and a person who did not do his job properly.

He immediately retorted: "Is your family willing to tell the villagers the secret recipe for your tofu? If you are willing, I can do it too."

The man was left speechless. After all, the secret recipe for ordering tofu was his family's livelihood. Of course he couldn't tell the villagers, so he could only give Zhao Yunxi a hard look.

Uncle Luo, who had just spoken, came out and laughed and said: "Okay, you guys have to be joking within a certain limit. If you have food, you don't have to go to the fields. Go quickly."

Waiting for Zhao Youcai and others to go away, a thin woman under the banyan tree said, "I can see that the Zhao family brought back an oxcart of cloth and cotton yesterday. That cotton is a precious commodity, and the price is very expensive."

"Cotton? It seems that the Zhao family has really made money."

"More than that, I could watch them driving two cattle carts back yesterday. Do you think his family bought cattle?" A woman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks followed.

"Buy a cow? How much money can you make selling a wild fruit? Maybe you mistook it. It's the ox cart of Zhao Guangshun's family."

When the woman heard someone questioning her, she immediately raised her voice and said, "How could I be wrong? There was only one bullock cart when I left, but there were two when I came back."

The people under the banyan tree heard the woman's words. It boiled instantly. There was a lot of discussion.

They all have ideas in their minds and plan to pick the fruits first next year. After the fruit is sold, the family can not only buy cattle, but also build a new house or marry a wife for their children.

Although they are far away, the people in the village are talking loudly. Zhao Yunxi and the others still overheard the discussion among the villagers and estimated that they would not be able to pick many kiwis next year.

Fortunately, I have already planted it in the mountains, although it will take a few years. But there is still space, and even if you can't pick it next year, you can still sell the ones in the space. I just need an excuse to make them think it's from the woods.

In the field to the north of the village, Zhao Youcai looked at the wheat seedlings in the field. Although the growth is not as good as before, the seedlings look a lot stronger. At this rate, surviving the winter shouldn't be a problem.

Zhao Yunxi was pulling weeds in the field when he heard Zhao Yunxuan say: "Xiaojiu, thank you for buying me materials and cotton. This is the first time I wear new clothes and cotton-padded jacket."

"Second sister, you also helped pick the fruits. So you deserve it. If you want to thank me, then be more filial to Aweng and Auntai."

"I will."

The group of people worked in the fields for most of the day and finally watered twenty acres of land.

Everyone turned around and walked up the mountain. Seeing the children playing around, Zhao Youcai actually felt a hint of envy in his heart.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he had been in such a carefree mood.

On the mountain, Zhao Yunxi couldn't help but be happy when he looked at the kiwi vines that had broken through the ground and sprouted.

Everyone looked at the kiwi fruit vine that was growing extremely well and happily fertilized it.

After a while, I saw several people who were originally excited, hunched over and drooping their heads, repeating the action of fertilizing like a machine.

By the time they got down the mountain, several people were so tired that they no longer had the energy to walk.

After finally holding on to his tired body and walking to the door, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the Zhao family yard.
