Chapter 268: Indeed Partial
People in the village grow peanuts and sweet potatoes together.
Peanuts and sweet potatoes are harvested at almost the same time.
Otherwise, if others have harvested their crops but yours have not, the field mice will all run to your house in search of food.
There are still a lot of field mice in the fields these days. If you haven't been to the fields for a while and walk on the ridges, you can see mice digging holes in your fields.
As soon as Jiang Xia appeared in the peanut field in the village, everyone in the field couldn't help but look at her.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Is she so popular? Tian Caihua was also surprised to see Jiang Xia coming and asked, "Xiao Xia, why are you here?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Mom said we're going to harvest peanuts today, so I'm here to harvest peanuts."
She took one look at Tian Caixing, who was picking peanuts with a dark face, and knew that Tian Caihua had already come up with a plan. She wanted to enslave Tian Caixing for free and make him leave on his own.
The other women in the village were also a little surprised to see Jiang Xia coming. After all, Jiang Xia had been married for so long and had never been to the fields.
She has never even been to the vegetable garden!
The villagers all knew that the Zhou family treated her as a treasure and did not ask her to do anything except taking them out to sea.
Jiang Xia walked down the peanut field, and Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, you pick the peanuts. I brought a bench, you can sit there and pick the peanuts into the basket."
Look!
Even when she went to the fields, they assigned her the easiest tasks. How much do they love her? Who doesn't take the peanuts home and pick them slowly at night, and then hurry to pick them in the fields during the day?
A woman who was about the same age as Jiang Xia and had a big belly said enviously, "You are the mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law the most in the whole village. The daughters-in-law who marry into your family will enjoy happiness."
Zhou's mother is also famous in the village for her diligence and easy-going nature.
But she has no mother-in-law, so she does all the housework by herself. She has to wash clothes and cook every day, fetch water to water the vegetables, and go to the fields to farm, even though she is eight months pregnant. Her husband goes out to sea early in the morning and does nothing when he comes home. He just lies on the recliner and acts like a boss.
She simply envied Jiang Xia for having her parents-in-law to support her, and she didn't think that her words were undoubtedly provoking, because there was more than one of Zhou's mother's daughters-in-law working in the field.
As soon as she said this, Tian Caihua, who was bending over and pulling peanuts, felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't Zhou's mother ask her to pick peanuts just now? But then she thought that it was good enough that Jiang Xia came.
None of the second brother's family showed up.
It would be fine if they don’t show up, but when the peanuts are harvested, I will send them two bags, and after the oil is pressed, I will send them another twenty or thirty kilograms of oil!
Jiangxia is still relatively good. He never slacks off at work. He learns quickly and does a good job.
Tian Caihua looked at Jiang Xia's thin arms and legs and thought she couldn't even pull up the peanut seedlings, but she worked quickly and was able to pick all the peanuts. That was fine! This way she could go home and rest at night without having to continue working.
Tian Caixing used to hear Tian Caihua say that her parents-in-law were partial to her when she returned to her parents' home. Today he truly experienced it, they were indeed partial.
Everyone knows that it is easy to sit there and pick peanuts, but to pull peanuts out requires bending over and exerting strength, which will make you exhausted after a day.
Zhou's mother asked the younger daughter-in-law to sit down and pick peanuts, but the older daughter-in-law was bending over to pull the peanuts. It was too obvious that she was biased.
Moreover, his sister only has one acre of peanut field, but she wants to help harvest all three acres of peanuts. Isn't that too partial? Tian Caixing leaned close to Tian Caihua's ear and said, "After harvesting this acre today, leave the remaining two acres alone. Let them harvest them by themselves. Axin and I will go out to sea tomorrow! Don't worry about them!"
Tian Caihua immediately refused in a low voice when she heard it: "No, that won't work. Ah Xin won't agree. Don't say anything, big brother. Let's harvest quickly! After harvesting three acres of peanuts, there are still five acres of sweet potatoes to harvest, and sesame seeds to harvest. Then there are a few acres of rice and three acres of sugarcane to harvest! Going out to sea is impossible. We don't need to go out to sea for the next half month. We have to harvest all the crops in the fields before we can go out to sea!"
"Alei and Jiang Xia are going to Suicheng tomorrow, and the second brother and his wife have to go to work. The family's land depends on the two elders, as well as Axin and me. Fortunately, you are here, big brother, otherwise Axin and I would be exhausted to death!"
When Tian Caixing heard that he would not be out to sea for half a month, he said unhappily, "I don't have the time to help you harvest this and that. I have to harvest the peanuts at home too. I will be back tomorrow. If you can't do it, don't do it! How can we expect you and your wife to do so much work? You have separated a long time ago. I can help you, but why should I help the other two families? Don't be so stupid!"
Tian Caihua: "If we don't do it, are we going to watch them do it alone? Ah Xin will go over to help his parents when he's free! His own biological father won't help? Okay, stop talking. If I dare not do it, he will divorce me! Big brother, you can stay for a few more days and help me harvest the rice in the field!"
"I'm busy. I forgot that the crops in the field are ripe. I have to go home to harvest peanuts tomorrow, otherwise your sister-in-law will come to kill me. I'll come over to help you after I finish harvesting the crops at home!"
"Okay!" Tian Caihua was secretly happy in her heart, finally they left!
Fortunately, she was resourceful.
Jiang Xia also noticed that Zhou's mother deliberately gave her the easy task, and said with a smile: "Mom, I will go back to pick them in the evening. Now put the peanuts away first."
When Jiang Xia just came here on his bicycle and passed by a villager's house, he saw peanuts drying in the corner, with the peanut seedlings. An old man was sitting at the door and picking the peanuts slowly. It seems that he can take them back first and pick them while they are drying.
Jiangxia found a piece of land and started harvesting peanuts.
It is very simple to harvest peanuts, just pull them up by the roots, after all, peanuts grow in the ground.
Although it was Jiang Xia's first time to harvest peanuts, she always worked quickly, not slower than Tian Caihua and Zhou's mother, and even faster than them.
Although this body is delicate, Jiang Xia has good endurance and is focused and serious in his work. After more than half an hour, Jiang Xia caught up with Tian Caihua and Zhou's mother and finished pulling out a row of peanuts.
She then went to pick the peanuts in the next patch.

They were all good workers. In just one morning, the five of them harvested all the peanuts in an acre of field.
Jiangxia came from behind and harvested two plots of peanuts, more than Zhou's mother and Tian Caihua, and almost as much as Zhou Chengxin.
Because it takes more than 40 minutes to walk home, I ate lunch directly in the field.
The villagers had already seen how hard Jiang Xia worked and couldn't help but praise her in front of Zhou's mother: "I didn't expect A Lei's wife to work so efficiently."
"Yeah, I used to think she was so delicate, but now she's so capable at work!"
Grandma smiled and said, "You don't know a lot, but Xiaoxia knows a lot!"
Zhou's mother smiled and said, "Xiao Xia is very good at everything she does. She is even better at sorting fish. Her hands are like a scale. She can pick up fish accurately every time. I am not as fast or accurate as her."
"You've married a treasure! She's capable and a great help to her husband. If you can have a grandson, it will be perfect."
The grandmother looked proud: "That's right! I said long ago that Lei married a treasure."
Mother Zhou looked at Jiang Xia, who was sitting on the stalk of the field and talking and laughing with He Xinghuan while eating, and her face was also full of smiles. Xiao Xia was indeed a treasure.
Women of the same age as Zhou's mother couldn't help but feel envious.
After dinner, everyone continued to pick peanuts.
Jiang Xia also got up and continued working.
They were busy until around four in the afternoon, just after harvesting an acre of peanuts. Zhou Chenglei and his father returned from the sea and hurried over.
At this time, the family was moving peanut seedlings onto a cart.
Zhou's father came on a motorcycle and was one step faster than Zhou Chenglei.
Mother Zhou was surprised and asked, "Why are you back so early?"
