Chapter 148: Tiring Spring Farming
"I want you to mind your own business. Believe it or not, my family will make my dad divorce you!"
Wang Nianzhen was ashamed and annoyed that her little thoughts were seen through.
"I don't want to bother you, but if you want to do something, go back to your hometown and don't embarrass yourself. As for divorce, if you want, you can ask Wang Fengshou to come to me and talk to me in person."
Do you really think that a married girl like her can be the head of the family?
"Finally, for the sake of our relationship as mother and daughter, I advise you not to offend the young educated youth Ji. If you anger Lu Yao, your father will have to send you to the Kui Valley in person without me!"
She was just a stepmother, she had said everything that needed to be said, and if she just gave Wang Fengshou a reminder later, she would have done her duty.
As for whether other people are qualified or not, she doesn't care. If she cares too much, it's all her fault as the stepmother!
After saying that, Du Yanqiu fixed a basket full of sea buckthorn on the sled, and slid down the mountain along the path out of the mountain, no longer paying attention to her stepdaughter who still had a look of resentment on her face.
"Humph, if you are my stepmother, you just can't stand seeing me getting better. Just wait, when I become rich, I will kick you and your cheap son out right away!"
Wang Nianzhen spat bitterly, looked at the half-filled basket, kicked it twice in anger, and continued to collect sea buckthorn berries.
Everyone says that if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. Look, isn’t this true? She has only been married for a few years, and not only has her room in the house been occupied by that bastard, but why did he take her with him to pick sea buckthorn berries? He doesn't even give her the money she earns.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, so Wang Nianzhen simply took half a basket of sea buckthorn fruits and went down the mountain.
On the other side, Du Meiting and her friends had just filled the backpacks with sea buckthorn berries and were loading them onto the sled. Because Du Yanqiu pulled her stepdaughter far away, they could not hear their conversation, but that did not stop them from analyzing based on their experience!
"That woman is not a good person."
"Yes, I don't know what bad intentions he has."
"According to the plot in the novel, this person is definitely a green tea type. Stay away from this person and don't get involved with him!" Qiao Xiaobei said pertinently~
The four women nodded in unison!
"Check it out. Make sure it's tied tightly to avoid any trouble."
After hearing this, several people checked again. Each person was tasked with carrying a basket of fruits. Picking fruits was easy, but going up and down the mountain was difficult.
Last year, because the berries were not tied tightly enough and the sled was not smooth enough, the sea buckthorn berries that were finally transported down the mountain were scattered all over the ground. By the time we picked them up again and finished the task, it was already dark!
Practice makes perfect in any job. This time, they completed the task smoothly. Looking at the time, it was just past noon. After a whole morning of work, the breakfast snack had long been consumed.
"It's too late for lunch. I made some soup noodles this morning. We can eat the soup later. How about we stew some cabbage and vermicelli with some frozen tofu in the evening?"
Du Meiting suggested!
Without adding meat, add more animal oil, the stewed dish will be shiny and fragrant with meat, and paired with steamed big steamed buns, this delicacy in winter is absolutely delicious!
After harvesting the sea buckthorn, the four-member team no longer had to earn extra money like the others, and they were idle again, thinking about what to eat and what to play every day. The other people in the Youth League Institute were no longer surprised!
Only the newcomers Yu Hongqi and Lu Guochang are a pair who can't stand the fact that others are better than them. They want to take advantage of others but can't, so they often make sour remarks. However, with their little skills, in front of the four-member group who have been influenced by Qiao Xiaobei, they often doubt their lives!
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the winter snow has fallen, the earth has warmed up, and spring ploughing has begun in all corners of the country!
Early in the morning, the whistle for work was blown. Secretary Li Jiubao took a loud speaker and held a simple mobilization meeting before the spring plowing in the open space in front of the village office. The villagers carried hoes and shoulder poles and led cattle, mules and other livestock out of the barn to gather in front of the village office, forming a huge crowd.
The village office building is close to the village entrance. A slogan painted with a large brush not long ago is particularly eye-catching: Accumulate fertilizer to promote spring ploughing, I will contribute to the motherland.
Li Jiubao stood on the ridge in front of the village office. Without wasting too much time, he gave an impassioned speech that he said every year. Then he waved his hand and started plowing!
Spring planting and autumn harvest are the most important activities in the production team throughout the year. At this time, everything else has to be put aside. Even Qiao Xiaobei, a primary school teacher, and the children in the school have to put down their books and join in!
For the past three years, she had always been the commander of the sheep. This was the first time she really participated in the spring ploughing!
"Today we have cabbage stewed with potatoes for lunch. Little Ji, you and Chunsheng's family should go wash the potatoes!"
"oh!"
Ji Wanru took the wooden basin and followed Zhang Chunsheng's daughter-in-law Li Sufen to the well. She drew some clean water from the well and squatted beside the well to wash potatoes!
Food is precious, and no one would peel the potatoes when eating from a big pot!
Li Sufen had just given birth and the family was not short of workers, so Zhang Chunsheng loved his wife and arranged for her to live with Ji Wanru!
Unfortunately, there are quite a few people in the village. Even though cooking is considered the easiest job, after working hard for a whole morning, they still have to plan for tomorrow's food. The six people in the canteen go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and another group cleans up the mess. After a busy day, some of them are still tired and their arms achy!
