Duan Xiangjun lived a nameless outdoor life.
She couldn't stand the hard work of doing housework and didn't want her hands and skin to be corroded by oil smoke. She decided to hire a woman and spent a lot of money for it.
The days tend to be flat.
In the twinkling of an eye, another five days have passed.
Jiang Shuan's task of buying grain has been completed. He takes his men to transport the last batch of grain back to Liangshan pass.
Old six told Jiang Weiwei about it.
Jiang Weiwei had a pity. Her father left quietly and didn't say hello to her in advance. Otherwise, she could prepare something for her father to take him back to the barracks.
On second thought, maybe dad didn't inform her in advance because he knew she would send things, so that she wouldn't spend money.
When the father is like this, he always wants to do everything he can to give his daughter the best, but he is not willing to let her spend a penny more for herself.
With the beginning of the autumn harvest, farmers put into the plan of collecting food. Because many strong men were taken away by the imperial court and there were not enough hands, all the elderly, women and children had to go to the ground to collect food. They went out before dawn and didn't go home until dark in order to put all the grain in the field into the warehouse as soon as possible.
The jianglinhai family did not survive. His eldest son Jiang Zhongping was enlisted by the imperial court to be a civilian husband. I don't know when he will come back. The only strong labor force in the family has gone, so he can only work in the field himself.
Not only him, but also Chen Yugui and Jiang Sisi had to go down to the ground to collect food.
But even so, relying on their three old and weak women and children alone, they can't finish the grain of 30 mu of land.
In addition to the 30 mu of land at home, at the beginning of the year, Jiang Zhongping rented five mu of land from Jiang Weiwei. The grain of the five mu of land also belongs to their family. If the grain is confiscated, their family will lose money.
The family didn't go home until dark. They were all exhausted. As soon as they entered the door, they sat in their chairs and didn't want to move again.
But even if you are tired, you still have to eat.
Jiang Linhai asked his eldest daughter-in-law to cook.
Chen Yugui clenched her teeth, dragged her tired body and staggered to the stove house.
Jiang Linhai then called his granddaughter.
"Miss Si, go and bring me a bowl of water."
Jiang Sisi doesn't want to go. She just wants to rest now.
She was really tired. In the past, her father and mother were responsible for collecting food at home, and others just needed to help. But this year, even she had to go down to the ground. She had never done such a tired job before. After two days, her hands had been blistered and her arms were dislocated. They were sour and painful, and she couldn't make her strength at all.
Seeing that she didn't move, Jiang Linhai scolded angrily, "are you deaf or your leg is broken? I asked you to pour water, but you still sat still. Are you waiting for me, an old man, to serve you? You heartless loser. You eat our food and use ours. You just ask you to pour a bowl of water. You won't go. What's the use of us raising you? It's better to have a dog than you. At least the dog knows how to take care of the house. What can you do? "
In the past, Jiang Linhai held his own identity and rarely scolded his granddaughter in such a sour tone. Even if he was unhappy, he would teach him a lesson. Zhao was generally doing things like this.
But now Zhao is gone.
Without the voice that always yells at people at home, it becomes particularly cold and depressed.
Jiang Linhai couldn't stand the coldness. He began to speak in a loud voice like Zhao. He would scold his daughter-in-law and granddaughter from time to time, as if doing so would make the family less cold.
And his temper became more and more strange. Neither outsiders nor family could communicate with him normally.
Jiang Sisi rubbed his forehead and was very angry. He wanted to stand up and scold Jiang Linhai.
But in the end, she didn't say anything. She answered vaguely, then slowly stood up and moved towards the backyard.
Jiang Linhai rubbed his sore arm. His family had 30 mu of good farmland and 40 mu of dry land. The three of them alone would not be able to do anything. He had to find someone to help.
But now every family is scrambling for food. They all want to spend 24 hours a day. How can they be willing to waste their time helping others?!
Of course, if Jiang Linhai can pay a good salary, maybe someone will be willing to spare valuable time to help him.
But Jiang Linhai won't be willing to give the money away to those people in the village.
He plans to go to the town to find the second son and ask the second son to come back with his daughter-in-law to help with his work.
After finishing his work in the future, the second son doesn't have to go back to town. Later, he will stay in the village with his daughter-in-law and children.
Jiang Linhai feels that he is old and his body is getting worse day by day. He doesn't know how many years he can live. He can't start a family without a strong worker. Although the second son is greasy, he is a serious adult man at least. If he is at home, those people outside don't dare to bully their family.
Jiang Linhai seriously calculated in his heart. The smell of stewed sweet potato came from the stove house, but Jiang Sisi never appeared.
Jiang Linhai could not help scolding: "Miss Si, I asked you to carry a water. Where have you carried it? Are you hiding somewhere to be lazy again? Get out of here. If you don't bring out the water again, you won't eat tonight! "
As soon as he heard that there was no food to eat, Jiang Sisi was nervous.
She came out with two bowls of water and carefully put the bowl in front of him under the fierce eyes of Jiang Linhai, who was almost murderous.
Even though Jiang Linhai was very tired, driven by his anger, he still raised his hand and smoked his granddaughter.
"You useless loser. You know to be lazy all day. You don't do shit and waste our food. If you go on like this, I'll find someone to sell you tomorrow!"
Hearing that Jiang Linhai was going to sell himself, Jiang Sisi was surprised. The action he wanted to avoid was forced to stop, and he was beaten.
She was afraid and hated,
She was afraid that Jiang Linhai would really sell herself.
She hates Jiang Linhai's ruthlessness, her parents' incompetence and the injustice of the Lord!
After a hasty dinner, the three went back to bed.
Since Zhao's death, Jiang Linhai has never gone back to his room to sleep. Now he lives alone in the house where Lao Si used to live.
He didn't want to go back to the upper room for the night, because Zhao died in the upper room. When she died, she lay in the bed where their husband and wife had slept for many years.
Until now, as long as Jiang Linhai lies in that bed, he will involuntarily think of Zhao and how she died
He was too scared to think about it.
