Many people in the village knew about Jiang Zhiqing's situation. He was just providing food and drink for a few people. Whenever the farm work was busy, Qiao Wenwan would come to them with money to help with the work. I heard that the money was also given to her by Jiang Zhiqing because they were good friends.
She is so generous to her friends, let alone her own husband.
Think about the life the Lu family lived in. Lu Xiao lived in two small, shabby adobe houses. No one in the entire Red Star Brigade lived in houses like that. The Lu family had a brick house.
Although the Lu family didn't tell us how Lu Xiao moved out of the Lu family, everyone had a pretty good guess after the commotion.
She married Lu Xiao and didn't mind his poor background and poverty, which was already good enough. Why should she support the entire Lu family? This family didn't treat Lu Xiao well either.
For now, they stopped talking nonsense and ate the pancakes in their hands, trying to take a few more breaths. They could just eat them for the aroma. But they were even more envious of Lu Xiao. How could he be so lucky to marry Jiang Wanwan?
Feng Huining spoke up for her both times. Jiang Wanwan already had a good impression of this person, and she looked at him with gratitude.
Lu Chunshu looked at this and then that, and finally, when his mother wasn't paying attention, he quietly moved to Jiang Wanwan's side, "Aunt, this is the sweet corn stalk I found this morning. It's really sweet. I'll give it to you."
Jiang Wanwan saw that he was holding two pieces of corn stalks in his dark little hands. The leaves on the corn stalks were peeled cleanly, the green stalks were smooth and shiny, and the two ends were neat. It was obvious that the little guy had carefully selected them and held them for a long time.
This kid is really smart.
Jiang Wanwan also heard what he said just now. She had no aversion to the child. What Zhang Xiulan did was her problem. As long as the child did not hurt her, she would not criticize everyone and dislike even the child.
Moreover, Jiang Wanwan had met him before when they were recognizing each other as relatives. She knew that this child was not a bad person. She took the corn stalk with a smile and rubbed his little head. "Thank you, Xiaoshu. Come, auntie will give you some meat."
She broke off half of the bun and put two pieces of meat in it for him. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the other half and put two pieces of meat in it as well. "This is for your brother."
Lu Chunshu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Wanwan with a pair of black grape-like eyes, and nodded heavily, "Yeah."
Holding a piece of meat in a steamed bun in each hand, he ran and shouted, "Brother, brother, Auntie, give us some meat. Braised pork, try it, it's delicious."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Xiulan snorted coldly, "The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, it can't have good intentions. Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eat. Be careful that one day you will be poisoned to death."
Lu Chunshu shrank his neck, walked around his mother from a distance, came to Lu Chunsheng, and gave him the steamed bun.
Jiang Wanwan just thought Zhang Xiulan was talking nonsense. It really opened her eyes that her own child could say that.
Lu Xiao picked up a piece of meat for her and whispered, "When Chunsheng was just a few months old, our family encountered difficulties. There was nothing to eat, and my sister-in-law had no milk. The child was so young that he cried every day because of hunger. My sister-in-law didn't have patience, so my mother took him to her place to take care of him. Later, my father got sick and my mother couldn't take care of him, so Chunsheng stayed with me. When Chunshu was born, my sister-in-law simply left him to my mother. Later, when Chunshu was older, my sister-in-law wanted the two children to live alone, so she took them away and they no longer stayed with my mother all day."
Is this an explanation to her? No wonder the two children have different personalities from their eldest sister-in-law.
Especially Chunsheng, who is introverted and very similar to Lu Xiao. She originally thought it was the genes of the Lu family, but it turned out that he was the one who raised the child.
Thinking back to the last time Du Jiaming brought the police to the house to cause trouble, it was Chunsheng who ran to deliver the letter to Lu's mother. This kid still remembers his uncle.
"Mom is very good at taking care of children."
If it weren't for Lu's mother taking care of these two children, I really don't know how Zhang Xiu Lan would raise the children.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "You're also very good at taking care of children. When we have children, you can take care of them."
Lu Xiao paused in picking up the food, looked up at her, and then glanced at her lower abdomen. He put a lot of things in there that night. Is there already a child inside?
With this thought, his whole body tensed up. After thinking for a while, he reminded her, "Don't move if there's any heavy work to do. Wait for me."
Jiang Wanwan took a bite of the steamed bun and nodded. She really couldn't do heavy work. Lu Xiao always did the heavy work at home. He even helped her pour her bath water. Why did he suddenly say this?
Looking at him again, he lowered his head, his ears and neck were all red. Jiang Wanwan: "..."
What is this old man thinking?
…………
In the afternoon, the men would go to cut corn stalks, and the women would break the remaining corn.
The men first needed to cut the corn stalks near the corn pile to create a lane so that the ox carts could enter the field to pull the corn.
This job was given to a few people with quick hands, and Lu Xiao was one of them.
In addition, a few educated youth were assigned here.
In the morning, the team leader arranged these educated youth into a small team, but they didn't do much work and almost got into a fight with the villagers. They really hindered the team's performance.
The team leader of that team was also very dissatisfied and went to complain to the team leader at noon. Not earning work points was a small matter, but delaying the autumn harvest was a big event of the year.
The team leader didn't want the villagers to have any complaints, so he discussed with several team leaders and decided to simply split the people up and distribute them among several teams to make it fairer.
Jiang Wanwan saw Du Jiaming and Qiao Wenwan approaching, cursed inwardly, picked up her headscarf and gloves, and was about to head towards the cornfield. Feng Huining followed her, "Jiang Zhiqing, wait for me, we'll go together."
Jiang Wanwan smiled when she heard that. "That's great! I'm just worried about being bored working alone. Feng Zhiqing, I see you're a few years older than me. If you don't mind, can I call you Sister Feng?"
Ever since Feng Huining spoke up for her for the first time, she wanted to make friends with this straightforward woman. Even if Feng Huining didn't stop her, Jiang Wanwan planned to go find her.
Feng Huining also smiled frankly, "Then I won't be polite. Having such a beautiful sister, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."
The two of them walked into the cornfield talking and laughing. Du Jiaming, who had just walked over, stared at the scene in a daze.
He never knew that Jiang Wanwan had such a bright and brilliant smile. Jiang Wanwan would smile at him before, but that smile was implicit and shy, and her pair of affectionate eyes were full of his shadow.
Now he was standing there, and the man seemed not to have even seen him, let alone smiled at him.
Just as he was thinking about it, his vision darkened and a figure blocked his way. When he came to his senses, he met Lu Xiao's deep and cold eyes.
The man was strong and sturdy, half a head taller than him. His white hurdle vest revealed his wheat-colored skin, making the muscles in his arms look full and powerful. His big hand held a pickaxe, the blade of which shone coldly.
