Chapter 31

The Bai family was also waiting in the yard at this time, and they were relieved to see Yang Liu and Bai Xiangchen come back.

Bai Zhengqi looked at the red and swollen marks on Bai Xiangchen's body that Jiang had just pulled out, sighed, and said to Yang Liu, "Liu'er, go find some ointment for Chen'er to rub, it's summer, I'm afraid some places will be smeared." If it’s harsh, it will fester.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou also came over to caress the wound on Bai Xiangchen's body, and then said in a voice: "Yes, go and apply the medicine. This is the end of today's matter. Don't make trouble anymore. Chen'er will also listen to it in the future." Do you know what your mother said?"

Bai Xiangchen nodded, and sneaked a look at Jiang, with grievance in his eyes.

Jiang shi just listened to Bai Zhengqi's words, and had been staring at Bai Xiangchen's arm with distressed eyes, but he had just finished beating Bai Xiangchen, so he had to pretend to be serious, so he just kept looking at Bai Xiangchen and didn't speak.

Seeing the grievance in Bai Xiangchen's eyes at this time, Jiang Shi stopped pretending, walked over and pulled Bai Xiangchen into the house, poked Bai Xiangchen's forehead while walking and said: "See if you are not obedient in the future, if you are still like today If you are so disobedient, I will still beat you."

For example, what Yang Liu and Bai Xiangchen said also worked. Bai Xiangchen didn't argue with Jiang this time, and nodded without making a sound.

Seeing that the Jiang family's mother and son are all right, the people in the yard are now in the mood to talk about other things.

Bai Daji was still thinking about the fields at home, and sighed: "Hey, due to Chen'er's incident today, there is still a little half of the wheat in our field that has not been harvested, and I am afraid it will take another day tomorrow, will this delay things? ?”

Zhou gave him a look and muttered, "It's only a day and a half, what can I delay? Didn't I make an agreement with the second child, the third child and Lan Hua to go to the fields to help harvest the wheat tomorrow?"

Bai Daji didn't speak, but Bai Zhengqi answered, "It's not that I'm afraid of delaying our family's affairs, I'm afraid of delaying the matters of the second and third families. If we want to wait for the three families to finish harvesting the wheat, it will take at least ten days." Time, who can guarantee that the weather in these ten days will be good."

Mrs. Zhou looked up at the sky: "The weather looks pretty good, and it shouldn't change. If the weather is really bad, there's nothing we can do about it. Even if we don't delay this day, the weather will still be bad. There's nothing to say about it." .

"That's what I said, but at the end of the third family..." Bai Zhengqi was still a little worried about what Mrs. Li said today.

"What's wrong with the third one? It's nothing. I'll tell them tomorrow." Zhou comforted Bai Zhengqi.

Hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, the family members were silent, and the weather in June, even if the weather is bad, is only a matter of a short while, and it should not delay the harvesting of wheat. Nobody cared much.

But things are just so unfortunate, and the sky is not good.

Jiang's family harvested the wheat and ground it into flour, and the whole family helped Bai Zhengbang's family collect all the wheat into the warehouse.

When it was time for the third son's family, the weather was good two days ago, and the whole family helped Bai Zheng'an's family to cut all the wheat and put it in the wheat field. The sun in June was poisonous, and after two days of drying, the wheat was almost dry. After threshing, the third daughter-in-law, Li Shi, thought that she would be able to go to the mill to grind the powder after another day in the sun.

Unexpectedly, at noon on the third day, the originally clear sky suddenly turned cloudy. At that time, the Yangliu family was packing flour into bags at home, planning to put the temporarily unused flour into the granary at home.

Seeing the sudden change of weather, Yangliu's family remembered that Bai Zhengan's family had sun-dried wheat in the wheat field, so they immediately took something and said they would go to the wheat field to help harvest the wheat.

When I went to the wheat field, the second child's family also arrived just in time. For some reason, the third child's family was late to dry the wheat.

But it was too late to say more at this time, so they all wanted to help the third family harvest the wheat before talking.

But this rain came too fast, the two of them only harvested a small half of the wheat, and then it rained heavily and torrentially.

But Yangliu's family and the second child's family braved the rain to take back the wheat for Mrs. Li, but more than half of the wheat was soaked in the rain and had to be dried again.

What's more difficult is that if the sun continues to shine tomorrow, it will be fine. If it rains for several days in a row, the wheat will have no place to dry, and it may germinate, and a lot of food will be wasted.

After harvesting the wheat, I saw the third son's family rushing to the wheat field with sacks, brooms and other things. As soon as Mrs. Zhou saw them, she blamed Mrs. Li: "Mr. third daughter-in-law, what is wrong with your family?" What’s the matter, my house is drying the wheat, and the weather is about to change, but I don’t think about harvesting the wheat first, what are you going to do?”

"Mom, we just started from..."

Bai Zheng'an was about to speak, but was stopped by Mrs. Li who stepped forward and said, "As soon as we saw the sky change, we prepared things at home to harvest the wheat. How did we know it was raining so fast? What should we do?"

Jiang and others heard the worry in Li's words, looked up at the sky, and comforted: "It should be fine, this June day, I think it's just passing rain, maybe it will stop after a while, let's continue to bask in the sun." That is, at most two days in the sun.”

Bai Zheng'an also hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, just one more day in the sun, it's not a big deal."

As soon as Bai Zhengan finished speaking, Mrs. Li suddenly yelled at him viciously: "You sound good, let the sun shine for one more day, if the sun doesn't shine for a few days, all our wheat will be wasted, then What will our big family eat in the second half of the year, do you have the ability to guarantee that the big family will not worry about eating and drinking?"

"I just opened my mouth and said that I never care about the family affairs. I have never seen such a useless man like you. If you knew that your elder brother's house was ready to harvest the wheat earlier, would you make it like this today?"

Although Mrs. Li was blaming Bai Zheng'an on the surface, the words contained other meanings. It was nothing more than blaming Bai Xiangchen for delaying time for fighting with others a few days ago, but thinking of her family Maizi's had just been drenched by the rain, and anyone would be in a bad mood. Although Jiang felt uncomfortable, he didn't speak out.

But Mrs. Zhou couldn't listen anymore. She looked at Mrs. Li and frowned and said, "Sir, daughter-in-law, shut up and scold your man for what you are doing. Why didn't you rush to harvest the wheat just now? If you hurry up, Including us and the second child's family, the wheat is almost harvested."

Li curled her lips, her tone full of dissatisfaction: "Mother, I was fine this morning, who knew it would rain suddenly, and I didn't know it would rain suddenly."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou said angrily: "You didn't know it would rain, but you do know that your family's rations for the second half of the year are here, don't you know what is important? It stands to reason that you should do it today." Let people guard the wheat field, and call people to harvest the wheat as soon as the sky changes, if you have someone here all the time, the wheat will not be drenched by the rain today."

"You see, when the boss and the second family were harvesting wheat, they never left the side of the wheat field. Once they found that the sky was a little bit wrong, they prepared something to cover the wheat."

"Hmph, mother, you're wrong. How can my family compare with elder brother's? When the elders harvested the wheat, several families helped out. It was my turn to harvest the wheat. As for our family, we have to do everything with our hands and feet." Slow down." Li's tone of voice was full of sarcasm.

Mrs. Zhou saw that Mrs. Li was talking too much, so she began to be merciless: "What are you talking about, didn't we help you when your family harvested the wheat?"

After a pause, Mrs. Zhou went on to say, "According to me, you just don't know how to plan like the eldest daughter-in-law. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that when our family first separated, you all had the same amount of things in your family." , but now you look at how many things everyone has, how many things your family has, not only have you not done anything these years, but now you can't even keep the wheat, it's just that you are not as good as a human being."

In front of so many people, Mrs. Li couldn't get off the stage immediately after being accused by Mrs. Zhou, so she simply opened the window and said bluntly: "Of course the elders will plan to call everyone when their family harvests wheat. It was agreed for a day, but because of a small matter in his family, Chen'er was delayed for another day. If it weren't for the boss who postponed the matter for that day, our family's wheat would have been harvested yesterday, so how could we get wet? what."

"If you want me to say, it's all my elder brother's fault that the wheat in my house was soaked today."

Last time because of Chen'er's incident, Jiang shi had put up with Li shi, and even sent Bai Zhengan eggs for several days afterwards, until Bai Zhengan's injury healed.

Later, when Mrs. Li's family was harvesting wheat, Mrs. Jiang thought of Ms. Li and was worried that she would not be in time, so she specially called everyone in the family to help in the field. Even Xinghua, who was eight years old, went to the field to pick wheat ears. Bai Xiangchen, who didn't work, also went to work in the fields for the first time, let alone people like Yangliu and Hehua.

Jiang felt that such a big family's helping out should be able to make up for Bai Xiangchen's vacancy in the afternoon, and the third family's harvest of wheat was indeed more than half a day earlier, which logically made up for it.

But I didn't expect that the third daughter-in-law is still turning over the old account today, and Jiang Shi is not willing to bear it anymore. After listening to Li Shi's words, she looked at Li Shi coldly and said: "The third daughter-in-law, according to your words, Do I need my family to pay your family's wheat to get over it?"

Before Mrs. Li could reply, Bai Zhengan hurriedly took a step forward, and smiled honestly at Mrs. Jiang: "Sister-in-law, no, she didn't mean that, she just said it casually, I know you are not to blame for this matter today, it's your fault." Ourselves, we didn’t have time to harvest the wheat. You see, you also helped us harvest some wheat, otherwise it would have been all rained on.”

At this time, the second daughter-in-law Wang also immediately came out to smooth things over: "We are all a family, don't be upset about this matter, let's move the wheat back first, and see how the weather is, maybe the sun will come out tomorrow." .”

Mrs. Li snorted and said: "If the sun doesn't come out, then our family will starve to death in the second half of this year."

Seeing that Li Shi was still furious, Mrs. Jiang refused to give in, and said, "Third daughter-in-law, since you think it is our family's responsibility, then I will take this responsibility. If you spoil the wheat, my family will compensate you." For half of the wheat, I should not have asked you to work in those few days, and I should not have borrowed your wheat field to dry the wheat."
