Chapter 131 Don’t be shameless!
"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong in the village?" Old Man Tai hurried over and asked.
When Master Tai San looked up and saw that it was his old brother, he moved aside and gave up a piece of the tree root facing the sun.
Old Man Tai took out his tobacco pouch and filled his brother's pipe with tobacco.
Mr. Tai San took two puffs of smoke and exhaled, and his frown finally relaxed.
"Sixth Brother, I don't think this year is going to be very good. I have a feeling there's going to be another drought! Look, it's already the end of March, almost the beginning of April, and there hasn't been a drop of rain yet.
"Normally, if it's a good year, there should be two rains by now, at least the fields won't be short of water. But... oh!"
Uncle Tai San sighed deeply. The fields are the life of the farmers. Whether the whole family can have enough food and warm clothes depends on this piece of black soil.
But sometimes God is not kind to us, and droughts, floods, hail, and strong winds can destroy everyone's hard work and hopes for the year at any time.
Apparently, God is still in a bad mood this year...
Mr. Tai has been busy building a yard at home and a wooden house in the mountains recently, and he really hasn't paid much attention to the rainy weather.
Hearing what his elder brother said, his heart skipped a beat. After thinking carefully, he began to advise, "Third brother, don't get angry. It's still early in the season. It's still too early for spring plowing. Maybe it will rain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. A thorough rain will be enough for farming."
Master Tai San couldn't lift his hand enough to point at the bright red clouds in the sky. At this moment, silence was better than words.
The sunset is brilliant, tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day, where will the rain come from!
Old Master Tai was choked, but there was nothing he could do but sit in silence with his elder brother.
Children will never know the worries of adults.
On the other side, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue had already reunited with their "soldiers" and were shouting as they divided into teams, planning to have another evenly matched "battle" while it was still light.
Unfortunately, the fat girl Zhuzhu was stuck in the middle, running here and there, making trouble and making the boys panic, afraid that they would bump into her.
In the end, Chunhong came out to greet them, stepped forward and held Zhuzhu in her arms, saving the boys from the battle.
Just at this time, many villagers came back from the fields. Seeing the old man and the clan leader were under the tree, they came over to chat.
Tai Jijin and Sun Meihua were also walking among them, and when they looked up they saw Chunhong.
The two were a little dazed for a moment and almost didn't recognize each other.
Although Chunhong had only been at the Tai family for a few days, she had enough food, warm clothes and a good sleep, which made her sprout quickly like a dry willow branch and full of vitality.
Her originally dry and yellow hair, always stained with grass debris, was now cut short and washed clean. She had only two small braids braided together, tied with red ropes, and hung on her shoulders.
The sack that she always wore to cover her body was replaced with a half-worn brown dress, and a pair of narrow-necked shoes made of cotton.
His sunken cheeks became plump, his skinny arms became fatter, and even his dark skin seemed to have become a little whiter.
The little girl who used to live in a pigsty and was in danger of dying at any time has been transformed and is no different from an ordinary girl.
Tai Jijin felt guilty and turned his head away after just one glance.
However, Sun Meihua stared at her daughter again and again, looking very excited, as if she was happy for her daughter.
Unfortunately, Chunhong looked at them with an extremely calm, even indifferent, gaze, as if of a stranger.
"Zhuzhu, Second Aunt is going to make some wild vegetable pancakes. Let's go in and take a look."
Chunhong carried Zhuzhu back. Zhuzhu was a little reluctant because she missed playing with her brothers.
Chunhong laughed and said, "Those brats will throw dirt and clods at each other when they get into trouble. Our Zhuzhu is so pretty, if she gets hit she'll become a dirty little brat!"
Zhuzhu was not only greedy but also loved beauty. When she heard this, she immediately changed her mind, hugged Chunhong's neck, and urged her in a baby voice, "Sister, hurry up!"
Chunhong giggled, hugged Zhuzhu, and quickly disappeared behind the courtyard gate.
Sun Meihua took a step forward, as if she was about to call her daughter, but was pulled back by Aunt Tai San.
Aunt Tai San lives nearby, so of course she is included when everyone gets together to chat.
She had already seen Sun Meihua's expression just now.
At this moment, she curled her lips and scolded Sun Meihua, "What are you doing! What, you still want Chunhong back? Don't be shameless!
"Before, Chunhong was dying of illness, and your family pretended to be blind. Now that the eldest son's wife has cured Chunhong and cleaned her up from head to toe, she finally looks like a girl. Are you moved again and remember that she is your daughter again?"
Sun Guihua blushed after being scolded. She tugged at the corner of her clothes awkwardly and whispered in defense, "I'm not, I just... I just wanted to ask if she was doing well."
"No matter how bad it is, it's better than sleeping in the pigsty at your house!" Third Aunt was blunt and her words were unpleasant.
She is a kind-hearted person and is usually very nice to her daughter-in-law, not to mention her own daughter.
Therefore, for a cruel mother like Sun Meihua, she wanted to open her head and see what she was thinking.
Sun Meihua was so embarrassed by the criticism that she left in a hurry, making the excuse that she had work to do at home.
The rest of the villagers pretended not to hear anything, as they had more important things to worry about.
"Chief, is there going to be another severe drought this year? The weather looks bad!"
"Yes, it looks the same to me as it did the year before last. The first rain didn't come until July of the year before last, and there were no wild vegetables to eat. My father starved to death that year!"
"Oh, God is blind. Is he going to starve all the people to death?"
