Chapter 51: People are busy in the fields, and dirty water falls from the sky!
Fortunately, Lotus is not smart enough to think so much.
When she heard someone asking, she cursed, "It was my sister-in-law who said she didn't have a good coat or pants to go out with, so she exchanged mine and then refused to give it to me. This coat or pants is hers, it's not warm at all and it stinks!"
Everyone sighed, and the matter was over.
Mr. Tai San looked at his old brother in the crowd, blushed a little, and wanted to say a few words to him.
But Grandpa Tai waved his hand and went back with his granddaughter in his arms...
Although the changes in the weather are very slight, they accumulate day by day and the weather becomes visibly warmer.
Even the laziest person would be eager to go to the fields at this time.
Especially this year looks good, it is likely to be a year of bumper harvest, so people are taking the fields, the foundation of their survival, more seriously.
Three generations of the Tai family, including Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue, joined in the preparations before spring plowing.
The three acres of good land and four acres of poor land outside the village have been piled with fertilizer and burned.
In just a few days, the land will completely thaw and we can start turning over and making ridges.
The old man was thinking about the five acres of land that Zhangjia Village had just acquired, so he went to take a look after breakfast that day.
Zhuzhu changed out of her thick jacket and trousers and rabbit fur vest and wore only a padded jacket. She ran more nimbly than before.
Seeing that her family was busy, she followed them around and made things worse.
Finally, she became anxious when the old man and others were about to go out.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Zhuzhu wants to play too!"
The old man was so reluctant to let go of his granddaughter who was hugging his thigh that he quickly threw away the rake on his shoulder, picked up his granddaughter and coaxed her.
"Zhuzhu, grandpa is going to work, not to play. Have some snacks at home, and then grandpa will take you for a walk when he comes back, okay?"
Unfortunately, Zhuzhu, who was usually well-behaved, had a rare temper. She pouted her lips and her big eyes turned red with grievance, "Grandpa doesn't want Zhuzhu anymore. Grandpa is bad!"
Yang Lihua came out of the house. She felt sorry for her daughter and was afraid that she would develop a habit of cheating, so she went forward, hugged her daughter and explained patiently.
"Zhuzhu, don't bother grandpa. We have some important things to do at home. Stay home with mom and do needlework. Zhuzhu is the most obedient."
Zhuzhu said nothing, tears welled up in her big eyes. Her aggrieved look immediately made the whole family feel heartbroken.
"Oh, don't make my eldest niece cry. Let's go together, I'll carry her on my back!" Tai Jiye was the first to jump up and wanted to snatch his granddaughter away.
As a result, the old man was quicker than him and took his granddaughter and carried her on his shoulders.
"Forget it, forget it. If there's nothing else to do at home, let's go to the farm together and get to know the place. It will save us from having trouble finding it when we need to bring food or tea later!"
Zhuzhu immediately cheered, "Grandpa is the best!"
Yang Lihua had no choice but to glare at her daughter with a smile, then quickly packed up and went out.
Liu Dongniang volunteered to stay and cook lunch. Tai Yongyue, who had poor legs and feet, also smiled and said he would light the fire for his second aunt.
In this way, the rest of the family members rushed to Zhangjia Village in a mighty manner.
Zhangjia Village is about ten miles south of Taijia Village. Taijia’s new fields are located between the two villages, which is very convenient.
In previous years, the old man often traveled around the villages, and because he was honest and kind-hearted, he was familiar with most of the villagers.
As soon as they arrived at the edge of the field, Tai Jizu and others took rakes and started to clear the dead grass and the like, while the old man went to talk to the villagers of Zhangjia Village not far away.
But the strange thing is that he, who used to be very enthusiastic, suddenly changed now.
The old man said three sentences before the other party responded once, and his expression was very strange, as if he looked down on the old man and was afraid of him.
At first, the old man thought that the other party had some misunderstandings about him because of the rumors about closing the door to catch thieves.
But after changing a few people, he felt something was not right.
Even if you're afraid that he might suddenly kill someone at any time because of the rumors, your fear should be mixed with a hint of flattery. How could you look down on him?
He returned to his children and grandchildren with a frown on his face and instructed his daughter-in-law, "My eldest daughter-in-law, go to Zhangjia Village and see if the villagers have any misunderstandings about our family. I see that their expressions are not right. If you don't find out, I won't be at ease even if I plant this land in the future."
Yang Lihua nodded quickly and was about to hand Zhuzhu over to her family, but after thinking about it, she decided to carry Zhuzhu into Zhangjia Village.
There is a family living at the entrance of Zhangjia Village. The men are working in the fields, while the women are at home sewing shoe soles and doing odd jobs.
Yang Lihua rarely went out at home, so the woman didn't recognize her at all.
So, when she saw Yang Lihua carrying the child to the door and asking for a bowl of water with a smile, the woman immediately agreed.
Zhuzhu wore a scarlet jacket and skirt today, and had her hair tied up in a bun, which made her look even more lovely. When she smiled, her small white teeth showed, which made the woman happy.
"If you don't mind, sister-in-law, please come in and sit down and rest." The woman invited. Yang Lihua thanked her with a smile and walked in naturally carrying Zhuzhu.
The woman's house was very clean. As she poured water from the kettle, she casually asked, "Sister-in-law, do you look unfamiliar?"
Yang Lihua said, "I was visiting my relatives at the farm ahead. There was something wrong with the carriage, and my husband is fixing it. It just so happened that the child was thirsty, so I came over for a walk."
The woman didn't doubt it and quickly brought the bowl of water over.
Zhuzhu was really thirsty, but she still drank in small sips, which was very delicate, causing the woman to praise her again.
Yang Lihua asked the woman about her two naughty boys at home and praised them appropriately.
This woman always talks endlessly about her children, and naturally we become close.
