"Don't worry, my second uncle and his family won't take me away. If they really wanted to, they would have taken me away with them when they left with my cousin."
Song Chengjiu was very sure of this.
Perhaps it is possible for Second Uncle to take the suffering old man and old woman away by himself, but with Second Aunt and the three children, Second Uncle, who is no longer foolishly filial, has to consider the attitude of his family.
Zheng Li rolled her eyes. "Am I asking if someone will come and take her away? The old man and the old woman are obviously in the village so we can get some benefits. What I mean is, we can secretly find out the address of Second Uncle's family from the village chief, and then write a letter to them, saying that the old lady is very ill and asks Second Uncle's family to send some money."
"That's a good idea~" Song Chengjiu also thought of it.
The two leaned against each other and whispered about their plan.
Wait for Old Man Song and Old Lady Song to return to the big Song family.
Wei Meihua first tutted her words and said sarcastically, "I thought it was the past. Mom, since your hands and feet are shaking and you can't do anything, then take your two grandsons with you. Remember to cut some grass for the pigs. One or two work points are also good."
Old Mrs. Song nodded without daring to refute. In the past two years, the eldest son's wife had treated her worse and worse. She had once thought of asking her eldest son to take charge and give Wei Meihua a good beating. But her eldest son had looked at her with disdain and said sarcastically, "I've dealt with Wei Meihua's housework. Can you do it all by yourself, Mom?"
At that moment, a mother's heart was completely broken.
Wait until a group of people get off the ground.
The sunlight shines on the earth as if it is free.
After working for only ten minutes, the villagers began to sweat profusely.
Wei Meihua licked her dry lips. She was assigned to her daughter's group, doing easier work and earning eight work points a day.
Thinking that her family had not eaten a bite of meat for a month, she walked to her daughter Song Xiulan.
"Xiu Lan, ask Chang Lei's son-in-law to go to the mountains and get some meat for your father and me to nourish our bodies. My bones ache every night."
Song Xiulan, who had devoted all her attention to raising her child, smiled bitterly at her mother's words: "Mom, the wheat harvest is almost here, and Chang Lei doesn't have time to go to the mountains. Why do you always ask me to bring some meat? You know how precious meat is, don't you?"
"I'm your mother! How dare you talk to me like that!"
"Mom, could you please stop doing this!"
"I'm acting? Song Xiulan, if you hadn't been stupid enough to change your marriage, I'd be living a comfortable life in the city now!"
This sentence once again touched the deepest pain in Song Xiulan's heart.
But she was also very sharp-tongued.
"Mom, don't even think about it. If you had given birth to me as smart as Jiayu, and if you had cooking skills like Second Aunt, I wouldn't need your son-in-law. I could have established myself in the county."
"...Are you disgusted with me?"
"Yes, I am disgusted by your incompetence. You raised me to be like this and failed to raise my two younger brothers to be talented. If only one of you could be like Tianshun, our family wouldn't have to live such a hard life!"
“…”
The mother and daughter quarreled again and parted on bad terms.
The captain's wife, who was secretly paying attention here, breathed a sigh of relief. The quarrel was good. The Wei Meihua family was not worse than the deadbeat Zheng family. Whenever they wanted to eat meat, they could just ask her son to go to the mountains to hunt for it.
Lushan Village relies on the mountain for its livelihood. Outside the mountain, there are no rabbits, pheasants or ducks, not even a hair can be found.
The only way is to go deeper into the mountains to look for it. There are big beasts and blind men in the deep mountains. If Chang Lei encounters them, he will lose his life.
It's just that Song Xiulan, the daughter-in-law, not only didn't listen to her, but she also didn't quarrel with Wei Meihua every time. In the past two months, she always talked about her son going to the mountains.
By July, not only in Lushan Village, but also in all the fields, the massive wheat harvesting operation had begun.
The Dongfeng-1 wheat seeds did not disappoint.
Despite this drought, its production can still maintain the level of previous years without drought.
People can already imagine the scene of food distribution this year.
The project team, far away in the land of plenty in the south, also achieved great success with Green Bud No. 1.
The yield of each acre of land is between 900 and 1,000 kilograms.
"Let me tell you, when we came back, everyone in the commune held us back."
"I was shocked by the weight of the rice I weighed."
"The county head and the county secretary met with us specifically, hinting that they wanted to determine the rice seed supply for the county in the second half of the year."
"The south grows two crops a year. After seeing the power of the Green Sprout No. 1 rice seeds we brought, they will definitely want to plant all their crops with Green Sprout No. 1 rice seeds."
“…”
A group of hybrid rice project team members who got tanned in the south returned yesterday.
Song Jiayu, who wanted to know what happened to Green Bud No. 1, felt relieved after hearing this.
Dean Lu came to her later and explained the task.
She was asked to leave Wan Changjin's project team temporarily and stay in the hybrid rice project team to cultivate rice seeds that can be planted in the land in the south.
How many paddy fields are there in the south of the country...
Song Jiayu couldn't imagine it.
Fortunately, President Lu added "do your best" after the sentence.
Then do your best. Song Jiayu calculates the use of wood-type abilities every day and tries not to waste any of them.
Every night, large military trucks drive out of the research institute, loaded with Green Sprout No. 1 rice seeds. The vehicles leave Beilin City and head south to other cities.
When this batch of rice seeds arrives in the county or city, people will be called to a meeting and the precautions will be passed down layer by layer.
This year's drought was controlled by the Dongfeng-1, which ensured people's food and clothing.
In the second half of this year, the Green Bud No. 1 planted in the paddy fields in the south will give people and the country a big surprise.
It’s still early for the harvest season in the second half of the year.
Let’s talk about the Song family receiving two letters from Lushan Village, one after another.
Seeing three tasks early this morning, Song Jiayu quickly completed the other two, leaving only one task about eating melon and watching Song's father and mother quarrel.
After she came home from a day's work and looked at the atmosphere at home, she had no choice but to complete it.
In the Jiang family courtyard, Song Jiayu came in without smelling the aroma of food coming from the kitchen.
An An, Ning Ning, along with their little uncle, sat together on the steps outside the main entrance of the main hall. They sat in a row from youngest to oldest, all supporting their chins with their hands. It was quite interesting to watch.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen at home?"
Following Song Jiayu's question, An An spoke first: "Mom, grandpa and grandma are arguing, it's so fierce~"
Ning Ning also followed her brother and said: "Yes, it was super fierce. Grandma even cried."
Song Jiayu looked at Song Beiwang, and the younger brother opened his hands, shrugged, and said with his face turned to the sky:
"Two letters arrived from the village today. One was from the old village chief and the other was from my eldest cousin. The old village chief said that the old man and the old lady missed us. The old lady has been coughing since the winter and wants my parents to take them to the city.
