The double harvest is a high-intensity job. After Wang Zhaozhao fully contracted the kitchen, he was responsible for three meals a day and serving tea. He also went to pick rice ears twice, and the harvest... can be ignored.
On the contrary, there was one time when I took Wang Baojia to catch crabs in a creek. We were very lucky and caught half a bucket.
Some were given to the first and third wives, but none to the second wife.
She holds grudges and doesn't hide them.
Maybe she felt that she had no one to vent her anger on, but Wang Jingjing didn't dare to get close to her during this period. When she saw her, she either lowered her head silently or ran away quietly.
It seems that even if she didn't show any displeasure, she still exuded the aura of "I'm not happy with you".
"Girl Zhao, do you have a task?" Wang Sibing, who was obviously darker and thinner, suddenly called her during breakfast on the sixth day.
Wang Zhaozhao looked up. "What mission?"
"Go to Yier Village and send some meat to your fourth aunt's family and your second aunt's family."
"good."
Wang Zhaozhao agreed readily.
It should have been sent to her second aunt's house as a side gift, but it was mainly sent to the Qiao family.
Since ancient times, there has been a tradition in rural areas that during busy farming seasons, sons-in-law would go to their mother-in-law's house to help with work, including bringing meat and vegetables.
But these days, people in rural areas work collectively, and it is almost impossible to ask for leave to help my mother-in-law. People are short of food and drink. In the past few years, we even experienced the tradition of smashing pots and eating in the canteen together. The tradition of delivering meat and vegetables is no longer used.
However, Wang Sibing not only has the ability to deliver meat, but he is also the new son-in-law, so it is necessary to show his appreciation.
"This is your errand fee..." Wang Sibing took out two dollars.
Wang Zhaozhao's eyes widened. Two yuan in one go? How did her fourth uncle make such a fortune?
Xie Ailian's eyes were even wider than Wang Zhaozhao's, and she wished she could pop her eyeballs out and stick them to the money.
"Is the errand fee two dollars?" She squeezed out the words from between her teeth.
"Grandma, I'll ask Weiguo to go with me." Wang Zhaozhao said quickly.
Two dollars for two people, isn't that reasonable?
"Even two cents is too much."
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao smacked his lips and looked at Wang Sibing.
Wang Sibing continued to persuade her, "Mom, a can of food costs fifty cents."
"Are you addicted to buying canned food? Who would eat canned food just to run errands? Your five-cent candy will be enough." Xie Ailian became even angrier.
So she said that giving two cents was too much.
Then she felt something was wrong. "Even if a can is fifty cents, wouldn't it be okay to give one dollar?"
"Then... if one goes out and one comes back, shouldn't that be two dollars?" Wang Erbing explained forcibly.
Xie Ailian was so angry that her heart ached. "Give me the money, and I'll take a day off today to run this errand for you."
She worked herself to death all day, but even if she could earn ten work points, it was not worth two yuan.
Thinking of this, her eyes changed again when she looked at Wang Sibing.
Wang Sibing smiled at her with a stiff upper lip, "You can take a day off and rest at home. I'll still give you two dollars."
Xie Ailian: “……!”
"Ouch..." She covered her chest and said to Wang Dahai in pain, "Old man, what's wrong? How can we face our ancestors with such a prodigal son in our family..."
Wang Sibing: “……!”
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
"Fourth Uncle, you, you should give the four dollars together with these two dollars to my grandma. It's just an errand. We don't want two dollars, not even twenty cents, hum!" Wang Zhaozhao said to Wang Sibing.
"Ouch, ouch..." Without waiting for Wang Sibing to answer, Xie Ailian screamed even louder. She pointed at Wang Zhaozhao and said, "Don't think I don't know. Are you thinking that since you have money, you can eat a few cans of food..."
Well.
Wang Zhaozhao silently took a mouthful of rice.
"Old man, do you want to do something about this?" Xie Ailian turned and shouted at Wang Dahai.
"Then you give one dollar to Zhao girl, and I will let her use only the one dollar you give her." Wang Dahai suggested.
Xie Ailian looked at him, speechless for a long time.
She couldn't help but doubt herself, did she look like a fool?
She used her one dollar to exchange for the fourth brother's two dollars, and Wang Zhaozhao and the others ran errands for the fourth brother again...
"I'm done eating, Fourth Uncle. I'll go call Weiguo to prepare. Where's the meat? Are you ready?" Wang Zhaozhao finished his meal quickly and ran out while speaking. Before he finished his words, he disappeared.
In the end, Wang Sibing still stuffed two dollars into Wang Zhaozhao's hand.
Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Weiguo, each carrying a piece of meat, ran away.
Xie Ailian chased to the door and shouted, "Weiguo, watch your sister Zhao and don't let her spend money recklessly."
Wang Baojia, who had been doing odd jobs to earn work points this summer, said: "......!"
I just feel so miserable, so pitiful, and want to cry.
Wang Zhaozhao and his companion set out early, and since it was not too hot yet, they decided to walk faster. They did not stop when passing through the town, but went straight to Yier Village, arriving there at half past nine.
Everywhere there are people busy with the double harvest, some are cutting wheat, some are harvesting rice, some are plowing the fields, and some are planting rice. It is so lively.
Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Weiguo, two unfamiliar kids, were quite eye-catching when they entered the village. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the bunch of meat they were holding in their hands.
They didn't need to ask for directions, but someone asked them from a distance, "Which house are you two kids looking for?"
"To Accountant Qiao's and Qiao Kunshan's homes." Wang Zhaozhao answered crisply.
"Oh, are you delivering meat to two families?" the man asked knowingly.
Wang Zhaozhao only smiled. "Isn't it just delivering to two families?" The meat was divided into two baskets, one for each family.
At this moment, someone slapped his thigh and remembered, "You are from Hebian Village, right? Accountant Qiao's daughter married Wang Erju's brother..."
