Song Yining has entered its first summer harvest. During this time, the sun has been very cooperative, showing no mercy and diligently shining on the wheat fields every day.
When I first arrived, the land was lush and green, but after being bathed in the sun, it has turned golden yellow.
Recently, Shen Zhiming and his wife have taken over the cooking duties at home. Although their skills aren't great, the food is still edible.
She doesn't need to worry about basic household chores tomorrow; let the couple handle them if they can, and ask Grandma Yang if they don't know how.
Seeing their daughter busy, they couldn't stand idly by, so they did what they could to help.
Song Yining went to her space early to prepare a lot of food for herself. Fortunately, she had plenty of ingredients at home, and she loved to eat all kinds of clay pot rice and cured pork rice.
Even steamed buns and dumplings were steamed in several baskets and put into the space so that they don't need to be heated when eating.
They are all simple and easy to learn. The villagers already know that Song Yining's parents are here, so it's not surprising that she comes home for lunch.
Some were assigned to far-off places, so they brought their own meals in the morning, which wouldn't spoil even in the heat.
Song Yining insisted on going home for dinner. Shen Zhiming was going to bring his daughter food, but she refused. She said that her health had just started to improve and she didn't want to cause him any more trouble.
Song Yining was wearing a straw hat, a homemade mask, long sleeves, and gloves, fully armed.
Over time, everyone got to know each other. Seeing that Song Yining was wrapped up so tightly, everyone was still surprised and would look at her from time to time.
Everyone was astonished when they saw it, jokingly saying, "Song Zhiqing, you're so well covered up, we almost didn't recognize you."
Zhang Datao pulled Song Yining around, looking her up and down, and exclaimed, "You're so thoughtful! I'll wrap them up like this tomorrow too. In the past, we would get so much darker after a busy farming season. Some of the men would get so tanned they looked like coal."
After saying that, he looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "Do the same tomorrow. It looks troublesome, but it's practical." Wang Zhaoli agreed.
Several girls in the educated youth compound saw this and thought to themselves that they would do the same tomorrow.
They used to get much darker from working in previous years. No matter how much they covered themselves up in winter, they just couldn't get their skin to lighten. Over time, they gradually became darker and now they all have wheat-colored skin.
Everyone was in good spirits on the first day, working in the fields instead of pushing the tower. After work, Song Yining saw some unfamiliar people and asked, "Auntie, who are those people? I've never seen them before."
When Zhang Datao saw those people, they must be the ones the old man had mentioned that day. "They should be the same people your uncle talked about at the foot of the mountain. Don't be curious about anything, just get to work."
"Okay, I understand. I've just never seen it before, so I'm asking out of curiosity."
"Once you've had enough curiosity, quickly turn your head away."
The two of them talked on and off, complaining for the first two days, and they knew they would suffer even more later.
Thanks to the blessing of the spiritual spring, Song Yining was in good condition. Occasionally, she would add a few drops to the Yang family's water vat without them noticing.
Zhang Datao and the others thought that Ningning had gained energy because the family's meals had improved since she arrived, so they decided to eat better at home this year.
This way, everyone has more energy and is in better health. During the busy farming season, Grandma Yang also helps with some basic housework. Although it's tiring, everyone is generally happy without the troublemaker.
Xu Hongxia from Xujia Village was not so lucky. After her divorce, she couldn't sleep with Dazhuang and was arrested. Her family had to pay more than 90 yuan to the Yang family to settle the matter.
She became a slut despised by everyone, and eventually the whole village knew. Under immense pressure from her family, she had no hope of getting married and leaving the village.
Old Lady Xu demanded a dowry of 100 yuan from Dazhuang. Dazhuang, however, was like a dead pig that didn't care about boiling water. He thought, "Your daughter has already slept with me. If she doesn't marry me, I'll go to the commune and sue the Xu family."
In the end, Dazhuang married Xu Hongxia with a dowry of 20,000 yuan. She married the bachelor Dazhuang and lived a miserable life.
Every night she had to serve the old man who had just started having sex, and during the day she couldn't be idle either, she had to go to work with him. Her body became pitifully thinner and thinner each day.
Everyone shook their heads after seeing this and agreed that she was unlucky. The village chief of Yangjia Village was so well-off, raising her to be plump and healthy. She had truly enjoyed her life to the fullest, but instead, she was idle and thinking of crooked ways. Just wait and see what happens when she reaps the bitter fruit of her actions.
People should have self-awareness and learn to be content with what they have in order to live a long and fulfilling life.
People who are too greedy never have a good ending; this is a simple example.
When Xu Hongxia heard everyone's discussion, she initially felt a little upset, as she was exhausted from the endless work and housework every day.
There was no time to think about anything else; they could say whatever they wanted, and everyone went about their own business.
She had to swallow her tears, and was kept under close surveillance every day, with no chance to escape.
Her life was a complete mess, and her family became an object of disgust for everyone, who avoided her like the plague.
Those two families are now like bedbugs; no one dares to go near them.
Xu Hongxia was filled with remorse; just as everyone said, she had ruined her perfectly good life by courting death.
She regretted it. In her husband's family, she didn't listen to her mother-in-law and husband, but listened to her mother-in-law's slander, ruining her perfectly good life.
Remembering what her mother had told her, she realized that she had been deceived all along.
My mother wanted to pave the way for her son and find him a good in-laws, so she persecuted her own daughter and raised her to be like them in everything.
Things have gotten so messy lately, and every time my mother calls herself a jinx, I think she is a complete jinx.
Dazhuang worked on it for a long time last night and is still sleeping. Xu Hongxia secretly ran away and didn't go to work.
She secretly slipped down from the mountain into Yangjia Village to see her son and daughter, who were her own flesh and blood. She wondered if they had missed their mother these past few days.
Xu Hongxia herself was enjoying the cries of her son and daughter begging her to stay, so that she could have an excuse to stay.
As he thought about it, hope came to him. Despite the aches and pains in his body, he hurried toward the Yang family.
Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Shen have been watching their daughter busy with cooking, but they can't help her. So they thought they would go to Aunt Yang's house to learn how to cook and get some tips.
Besides the four children, Shen Zhiming and his wife, along with Aunt Yang, were in the kitchen learning how to cook.
Xu Hongxia thought it was just children and the elderly, so she secretly slipped into the Yang family's courtyard. After all, she had lived there for several years and the courtyard hadn't changed much.
When the children saw that the woman was a stranger, they quickly called out as soon as she entered their yard, "Great-Grandma, a woman we don't know has come to our house! Come out and see!"
The children looked at the woman opposite them. Xu Hongxia was furious that they had forgotten her after only a short time away, and even her own son did not recognize her.
At this moment, she was so angry that she wanted to go up and hit her brat. Shen Zhiming and the other two heard the noise outside and quickly ran out.
