The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 18
After lunch, the man sat in the yard drinking tea.chatting.Digesting; the woman began to pack the food.Wash the dishes and chopsticks; I took a few rice dumplings and put them there with the children.Zhou made a bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of chicken for Shen Xuan to send to the next door.

"Send it to her aunt again." The uncle Zhang asked while washing the dishes.

"What can I do if I don't send it away, I guess there is nothing to eat at home. At the beginning of the year, when his uncle left, he came over specially to let him take care of him, hey." Mrs. Zhou felt sad for Mrs. Liu.

"That Mrs. Liu is also pitiful. The man is not at home, and Aunt Song is not in good health. She has no one to take care of her." Mrs. Zhang also sighed.

"Your Aunt Song is considered to be an elder in the village. Life at home is not easy. Let the second daughter-in-law cook an extra portion and send it away. Take care of her if she can. It will be fine when the third daughter-in-law comes out of confinement. "Grandma Shen also agreed.

"Mom, I understand, I will let Xiaoxuan deliver the food when I finish cooking."

In the afternoon, I made some cooked zongzi for my auntie and the others to take back. The day passed quickly.Starting tomorrow, everyone will be busy harvesting wheat.

The reddish sun rose high.The village that had been silent all night began to hear sounds, chickens crowing and dogs barking.The domestic pig hums.Look up and see the sky is cloudless.The sun is shining brightly, and the wheat harvest can start today.Every time this season comes, the villagers will compete with God for time. No one knows when it will suddenly rain heavily, and then they will be crying without tears.

Shen Xuan's family doesn't grow much wheat, and it was discussed with Song San's grandma yesterday that the two families will harvest together this year.Today, Shen Xuan's family will be collected first. Father Shen left after breakfast with a sickle. Because of Zhou's pregnancy, Shen Xuan has taken care of the cooking.

Shen Xuan used the red dates bought on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival to cook some rice porridge for Zhou and Liu to replenish their bodies. They steamed a pot of rice and fried a piece of meat with chili.One cabbage, divided into two parts, one part for my brother at home.Send a copy to Father Shen.On the way, I met a girl who was delivering food.Daughters-in-law.Everyone chatted together and went to the ground.When Shen Xuan found her father, Li Shi was standing on the ground and talking loudly, while Shen's father bent over to cut the wheat and said nothing.

"Hey, I said his second uncle, how much money does your family ask my mother to harvest wheat for you?" Mrs. Li got into trouble when she saw that Song Sannai didn't help her family.

"Mr. Li, don't make such nonsense. I am the one who is willing to help his second uncle." Third Grandma Song trembled angrily when she heard Li's voice.

"Hey, I have pity on the head of my family. My mother doesn't help her own when she helps other people's family." Mrs. Li immediately sat on the ground and yelled, while Boss Song stood beside her without persuading her, and a circle of people pointed around her.

Shen Xuan walked towards Father Shen without even looking at Li Shi, "Father, Grandma Song has eaten."

"Hey, I got it, Third Aunt, let's eat first." Father Shen yelled to Third Grandma Song who was cutting wheat, and then walked towards Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan found a clean place to arrange the food, and Father Shen and the others sat beside them and drank some water to breathe slowly.The strong meaty aroma tempted Li Shi's taste buds, and some of them started to cry.

"Hey, my poor baby, my grandma doesn't care about my grandson if she eats meat, my poor son hasn't eaten meat for a year."

"Yes, mother, your grandson hasn't eaten yet at home." Boss Song became more and more out of tune.

Shen Xuan looked up at Grandma Song San, and found that the old man's face turned green.Grandma Song San felt aggrieved, making herself seem like a grandma who really didn't love her grandson, and when she was old, she would still be arranged by the juniors.

"Third Grandma, when did you have a grandson? Didn't Third Aunt give birth to a little sister?" Shen Xuan's puzzled voice spread.

"That's right, I heard that Boss Song severed ties with his third aunt? Then he wouldn't be his own son." Those standing in the crowd began to discuss.

"That's right, that's right, if you are a son, you don't need your own mother, who cares about your grandson?"

"Tch, it's all caused by Mrs. Li. He eats too much and is lazy all day. I should be crazy to meet such a daughter-in-law." The aunt sarcastically.

Hearing the discussion of the villagers, Grandma Song San felt uncomfortable. She was young and widowed, and after finally raising her eldest son, she divorced her heart after getting married. It's really sad.

"Third grandma, when will third uncle come back?" Hearing Shen Xuan's question, the third grandma raised her head, yes, she still has the third son, and as for the eldest son, let's fend for itself, everyone has their own way of life, and he is Can't help.

"Your third uncle will have to wait a few more months, maybe, who knows." The mother was thinking in her heart while her son was traveling far away.

"Your mother isn't throwing up today, is she?" Father Shen wanted to watch over her every day since Zhou's pregnancy.

"It's much better. When I came here, I made red date porridge for my mother and third aunt, and they can eat it when they go back." Shen Xuan put the used bowls and chopsticks into the basket.

"Well, if you have nothing to do, you can go back and look after your mother." After a few instructions, Father Shen picked up the sickle and continued to work.

"Your father loves his daughter-in-law in our village so much. Fortunately, he didn't introduce Li's younger sister to your father back then. Back then, Li..." The third grandma stopped talking when she saw Shen Xuan's interested eyes. Their children are so old Oh, what is this old woman talking nonsense about?

"Hehe, it's hot, girl Xuan, hurry up and go back." Grandma Song San drank her saliva and left.

In the afternoon, Shen Xuan accompanied Zhou's embroidery. The other side flower and the blue enchantress mentioned earlier, Zhou's can finish today.

"Come on, girl, come and see how your mother's embroidery is doing?"

Shen Xuan took it over and looked at it. The Bianhua flowers are white and embroidered in red. One plant sways in the wind and the other hides.Flowers and plants form a Jiangnan tune.Maybe because the quality of the embroidery thread in the small town is not good, the overall feeling is not the best, but it is still counted in the town.

"Well, it's pretty good."

Seeing Shen Xuan's old-fashioned appearance, Mrs. Zhou laughed, a little girl is still pretending to be like a master. "By the way, how are you learning from your master now?"

"Ah, oh, the master has already left. The master said that I have already started, and the rest is just for me to practice on my own." God knows, I have already forgotten this.

"In the past few days, I have seen that your brothers have grown taller and stronger. Is it because of martial arts?"

"Well, they are practicing basic skills now, and they can start practicing when they enter the school in July. The master left me all the books suitable for them." Shen Xuan continued to deal with Zhou.

"By the way, your father asked me to ask you what to do with the 10 acres of wasteland you bought earlier?" The 100-jin wild boar that Shen Xuan caught earlier on the mountain gave the rest of the meat to the elders of the clan. To the title deed of the 10 acres of land.

"When Dad finishes his work, he will transplant the sunflower and watermelon seedlings planted in the field." Shen Xuan said calmly about the 10-acre arrangement.
