Lin Shuchao had refused to go to work with his parents today, insisting he stay home to keep an eye on the glutton. Seeing his determination, Chen Chunhua didn't force him to go, but instead steamed two more sweet potatoes for the pot.
There is a lot of work to do in the village these two days, and it is quite troublesome to take the children with me.
The rape flowers have long since faded, and the rape fields are crowded with people early in the morning. This is related to the oil consumption of every household this year, so everyone is very active.
The women pulled up the rapeseed by the roots and placed them in a pile, the men skillfully cut off the roots, and the children were not idle either, moving among the adults and picking up the rapeseed grains that had fallen on the ground.
This can ensure that most rapeseed can be harvested, reducing losses, and also facilitate subsequent field cleaning.
Labor is the hardest, but when you stand in the field holding bundles of rapeseed, the joy of the harvest is unstoppable.
This work can be done for several days. The harvested rapeseed is placed directly on the edge of the field and waits for the sun to dry and mature. Then it can be easily threshed and stored.
Chen Chunhua folded a large bundle of rapeseed to the side, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and watched Xiao Shumei pick up the scattered rapeseed on the ground and put them into the small glass jar she was carrying.
This was given to her by the third brother before she went out today. I don’t know how the two kids communicated, but the two-year-old girl really listened to her third brother, catching insects and picking fruits, waiting to take them out to feed the chickens at noon.
"Spring flowers... Spring flowers..."
Suddenly, a man came running from the village entrance not far away, shouting Chen Chunhua's name. Not only did Shen Chunhua hear it, but the people working in the fields also heard it.
Chen Chunhua frowned. She recognized her. It was the famous housekeeper in her mother's village. She would always take the initiative to help anyone who had problems.
To those who need her, she is a kind-hearted elder sister, but to those who don't need her, she is quite annoying.
Chen Chunhua found her quite annoying. Even when her elder sister came in front of her, she couldn't muster a good expression.
"Chunhua~ Ouch, I'm so tired..." Jin Fengxian trotted in, holding her knees and gasping for air. "Chunhua..."
Chen Chunhua felt that her name was almost becoming her catchphrase, so she reluctantly responded, "Ah, Aunt Jin, what's the matter with you coming to our village?"
Jin Fengxian swallowed hard, not much saliva left, and waved her hand, "Chunhua, come on, follow me quickly...your father...your father..."
Chen Chunhua raised her eyebrows, "My father is dead?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid!" Jin Fengxian was shocked by her outspokenness and quickly straightened her tongue and finished her words in one breath.
"Your father fell and fractured his hip bone. Your mother also broke her leg two days ago and is lying in bed unable to move! Why don't you go back and take a look?"
Serves you right! Chen Chunhua rolled her eyes in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it directly.
“Where are Shen Xiasheng and Shen Qiusheng?”
"Your brothers have to go to work!" Jin Fengxian said confidently, "Besides, how can a man take care of his parents? After all, there is a layer of separation between the father and the mother. If the parents can't move, it must be the daughter who takes care of them!"
Chen Chunhua finally couldn't hold it back and rolled her eyes at Jin Fengxian, not caring how many people were watching in the field.
"They want to work, so why shouldn't I? When they gave birth to our daughter, they said she was from another family and that just enough to feed her and keep her alive was enough. But when she got married, they had to pay her back. And when they needed help, they asked their daughter to take care of them. So, I'm the most despicable daughter in the world, right?"
Jin Fengxian had originally thought that she had come to deliver a message out of kindness, and since she was considered Shen Chunhua's elder, how could she be lectured by Shen Chunhua in public? Just as she was about to scold her for being unfilial and disrespectful to her elders, she saw a man almost two heads taller than her standing behind Shen Chunhua, staring at her with a sullen look in his eyes.
It was Lin Guoqing. He came over from his side with a sickle in his hand. He didn't say anything, but his look made it clear that if you have the guts, come over here!
Jin Fengxian was timid. After all, this was not her own village, and Chen Chunhua was married, so she couldn't speak casually. She turned her eyes around several times, and finally started to play the miserable card in a gentle tone.
"Oh, Chunhua. You know your brothers' behavior. Your father fell down after being punched by your brother. It was the villagers who helped take him to the hospital to fix his bones.
When your mom asked me to come find you, she really…really…cried so hard. I felt so bad for her! The villagers couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked me to come find you. They even lent me a tractor so you don't have to walk. Just go see your parents!
"Chunhua! There are no bad parents in this world. You're a mother yourself, so you should know how difficult it is to be a parent... You can't just watch your parents starve to death, right?"
Jin Fengxian is about the same age as Liang Shengdi, but because of years of hard work, she looks a generation older than Liang Shengdi. Her voice is also particularly hoarse and unpleasant. Her fake crying is no different from pulling a big saw.
Everyone in the field couldn't stand it anymore. Little Shumei covered her ears and leaned on her father's thigh, her little face wrinkled like a rotten tomato.
"Chunhua," Cai Yinling came up from behind, her body still covered with fallen rapeseed branches and leaves. She whispered to Chen Chunhua, "Why don't you go back to your parents' home? I'll talk to the team leader and try not to deduct your work points."
"How can that be possible! We are busy harvesting rapeseed now. If I leave now, others will have to do more work, which is unfair to others!" Chen Chunhua didn't want to take advantage of this, nor did she want to be shortchanged when the oil was distributed.
"It's okay, Chunhua, I'll do your part of the job!" Wang Jingui came over with a smile, "Didn't you help me with the work when my son had a fever a few days ago? Everyone has urgent matters! The team leader said he won't deduct your work points, so go ahead and do it without worry!"
Then she pulled Chen Chunhua's hand and whispered in her ear, "I know you don't have a good relationship with your family, but they've come to the fields, so why don't you go back and take a look? There are so many people watching here, don't let those gossips use you as a handle. They might even talk about you being a grandmother!"
Chen Chunhua's face looked very unhappy, which was why she was annoyed when she looked at Jin Fengxian!
Cai Yinling was standing close to the two of them, so she heard some of Wang Jingui's words. She thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and said,
"I'll give you one day. The work for a day won't be much for a few people in the team. But you still have to come back to work tomorrow, or I'll send someone to your mother's house to look for you."
沈春花知道了她的好意，目露感激的朝她点点头，又把目光转向自家男人。
林国庆上前一步，“要我陪你去吗？”
“不用，这点事我自己还是解决的了的！”
