The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 53

"What a shame..."

Luo Fuxing interrupted Luo Xingzu's words, "Why are you being polite to me? Don't tell me the folks in the village. Guoer's mother has delicious food, and she never forgets our portion. Why, I like you, and if you don't like it, we will return it to you. A good one!"

Luo Xingzu stopped talking, pointed to the dry cigarettes on the table and said: "Smoke a bag."

Luo Fuxing was also polite, and immediately took the dry tobacco and lit it for himself to smoke.

In the following days, with the help of Luo Fuxing and his son, the work in the field developed at a rapid pace. Weeds and vines were hoeed and dried, and they were burned, and the ashes were mixed with the young general to get worms. The exchanged chicken manure was respread on the ground and used as fertilizer.

The latrine on the edge of the ground was also set up, and Lin Shanwen and Luo Fuxing opened a small path leading to the latrine, leading directly to the avenue.

When it rained, Lin Shanwen took the two brothers of the Lin family to plant the vegetable seedlings raised at home.Next, it is the most leisure time for farmers. During this period, they only need to go up the mountain every day to cut bundles of firewood and let them dry in the open space to prepare for the winter.

After a burst of autumn rain that day, Qingguo thought of the sour taro sticks she made in the jar. Because she was busy these days, she had forgotten about it, and she didn't know if she could still eat it now.

"Sister, take out the sour taro stick I made last time and have a look." Qing Guo said.

Qingping called Xiaojiang Luo in response, the siblings moved the jar out, and uncovered the wooden boards on the jar, a faint sour smell came out immediately.

"Ah, why a layer of white foam has formed." Qingping lost her voice.

After hearing Qingping's voice, Luo Xiaojiang hurriedly looked over, "Is this still edible?"

"Yes, let's see."

Saying that, Qingguo took out one with his hand, pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, and handed the rest to Qingping and the young general.

Qingping and the young general took a pinch and put it in their mouths. After chewing, their brows relaxed.

"It's delicious, sour and crunchy." Luo Xiaojiang went to the altar to smoke two more, put one into his mouth, and handed the other to Qingping, looked back at Qingguo and asked: "Guoer, Shall we go to town tomorrow?"

Qingguo shook his head.

"Why don't you go?" Luo Xiaojiang looked at Qingguo puzzled, "This thing can definitely sell for money."

"Did you forget? Tomorrow is our third uncle's big gift day."

Luo Xiaojiang lowered his head immediately, and said unwillingly: "Grandma won't take us there, let's do our own thing."

"It's because she didn't ask us to go, so we have to stay at home." Qing Guo said.

"Why?" Luo Xiaojiang shouted unconvinced: "Didn't you say that we don't put our hot face on other people's cold asses."

"We don't want to post cold butts, but we can't let others know if we suffer a loss?" Qing Guo said.

Luo Xiaojiang and Qingping looked at Qingguo in a daze, "A loss?"

"Yeah?" Qing Guo nodded and said, "They are all grandchildren, so why does my grandma only bring Fu Gui and Hui Lan, and our family doesn't bring any of them? We have to let people see how our hearts are biased!"

"Then what's the use?" Luo Xiaojiang said in a muffled voice: "People just think that I nursed her too much, so they can still come out to fight against injustice?"

"Brother, you are so stupid!" Qingguo raised her voice and said, "Why do we want to let people complain about injustice? We just need to let people know how my grandma grew up. If we can't do it well in the future, others It’s not like we’re not anymore!”

This is public opinion war!In any era, public opinion always favors the weak!

Luo Xiaojiang didn't speak any more, and faintly felt that what Qing Guo said seemed to make sense.

"Let's go, let's send some taro sticks to Nai. There are a lot of helpers at Nai's house today. It's a good dish to fry this with meat!" Qing Guo grabbed two bundles of taro sticks and put them in a bowl, and then Go to the old house.

"Guo'er, you just take it, I'll breastfeed her, and I have to say that this thing has soured her teeth." Luo Xiao said.

Qingguo smiled softly, "I'm not just feeding her, it's none of my business if she has sour teeth!"

Tomorrow is the day of giving gifts.

In the old house, Mrs. Chen was talking enthusiastically with the helpers, and her laughter wafted over the courtyard for a long time.

Luo Xiangju rushed back around noon, and at this moment, she was sitting in the upper room with Luo Xiangyuan, talking softly about herself.

"Man, your brother-in-law went to see him. Needless to say, he looks good, and his family background is also very good, but he has a little more brothers. If you are willing, you can stay with me at home for a few days and find a chance Take a sneak peek."

Luo Xiangyuan blushed like a big lantern, and almost rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands.

"I listen to my sister."

Luo Xiangju smiled and raised her hand to hold Luo Xiangyuan in her arms, and said softly: "Silly girl, what do you mean by listening to me, you are married, and the things of your life, good and bad, you have to read it before you do it." Count."

Luo Xiangyuan smiled and lowered her head, her heart was beating like it was going to pop out because of excitement.

In the northwest corner of the yard, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Lin were picking up a chicken and a duck, chatting without saying a word.

Whelan walked over to Xu Shi's side suddenly, and whispered something in Xu's ear.

Lin raised her head and squinted, shook her head, and continued to do her work.

"Seriously, your auntie..." Xu Shi realized that there were people around him, so she swallowed her unfinished words, waved to Huilan and said, "Go, go, play while I'm busy here." I'm going to die, go ask your sister to help me."

"Hey." Whelan turned around and ran out to drive.

Mrs. Xu looked around and saw that no one was looking her way, so she raised the corners of her lips, looked at the square body in the upper room with resentment, and lowered her head again to fiddle with the ducks in the pot.

Not long after, Huifang came over, "Mother, did you call me?"

"Hui Fang, come and help mother."

"Hey."

Huifang rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to help Xu pluck the duck feathers. Xu looked at it and motioned Huifang to move to a corner, so that she was far away from the workers, so she lowered her voice and whispered to Huifang. Said.

"Didn't mother tell you to spend more time with your aunt and say more good things to her? Why don't you listen?"

Hui Fang was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Auntie said she was tired and wanted to rest, so she pushed me out."

Mrs. Xu sighed, and said softly: "Fang, you heard what mother said, now is not the time to fight for superiority, if you hold the eldest aunt together, you will have a good life for the rest of your life. Do you hear me?"

Huifang nodded, of course she knew what Xu meant, and she did act according to what Xu meant, but... Huifang pursed her lips and said softly: "Mother, I'm going to make a bowl for my aunt Egg flower."
