The next morning, He Wanqing was awakened by the sun again. She rolled three times on the kang before getting up.
She tied her hair up with a red rope as she walked: "Mom, aren't you going to the fields today?" It's already 4:30, it's so strange that you're still at home!
"Why not go? There's no rush today. By the way, why don't you stay in bed today?" Looking at her daughter washing her face and brushing her teeth, He's mother got up to help her pack breakfast.
"The sun is too bright." Yes, she once again forgot to go to sleep in the space.
"Don't you know to sleep at the other end?" Thinking of the two windows in her room, He's mother suggested with a smile.
“I’m not used to it.”
After washing his face, he walked back to the kang, took the vegetable nest and ate while shaking his head.
Suddenly she thought of the cloths in the space and looked up at He's mother who was concentrating on eating.
"Say, don't be sneaky."
He watched her hesitantly speaking from the corner of his eye, finished the last bite of rice in the bowl, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
The disdain in his eyes made He Wanqing choke, but in order to sleep in later, she still smiled and said ingratiatingly:
"Mom, I have a few feet of coarse cloth. Do you think I can hang it on the window as a curtain to block out the sun?"
He said it swiftly, ate the vegetable dumplings that irritated his throat quickly, and drank a big mouthful of wild vegetable porridge before he felt better.
"No, you have to get it back to your place, not here, or I'll slap you in the face."
That look on his face that said, "I knew you couldn't say anything nice," made her feel upset.
"Mom, why?" Looking at her mother getting off the kang, she was eager to know the reason.
"Why? Look at who is wasting cloth. Do you think you are not prominent enough?"
He had already walked to the door, looked at her stubborn look, sighed, and walked back:
"My daughter, if this were in the city, or in a housing estate, I would have made it myself without you telling me. Coarse cloth is cheap, and I know how to weave.
But now we are in the village, have you forgotten the current environment?
Think about the things you brought with you when you got married. If you used good cloth as curtains, it would be fine if your son-in-law was still an educated youth, but your son-in-law is a soldier now!
You know how difficult it is for an ordinary soldier to reach his current position.
Do you want him to be ruined in an instant while he is fighting for military merit outside because of a small thing you didn't pay attention to?
And have you forgotten all those injuries on your father's body?
Do you think your son-in-law doesn’t have those injuries? ? ?
My girl, we are in the countryside, but we can’t stop people with bad intentions from playing tricks on us, so you just have to bear with it!
You are not allowed to do it even if you go back. If it doesn't work, you can sleep in a different direction." After saying that, he sighed when he saw her thoughtful look.
Alas~
What is going on?
"My daughter, why don't you go to the commune and find some old newspapers. You can use them to paste the walls and windows. Although there is still sunlight, it is much better than before."
In fact, you can also hang it up when you go to bed and put it away when you wake up.
But I’m afraid that one day I’ll forget and be seen by people who come to visit. Even if I don’t do it, they will still criticize me for being a petty bourgeois hedonist.
"Mom, I get it. Don't worry, I will definitely not hold Gu Cheng'an back. Go quickly, the accountant is calling you."
In fact, she was just thinking about it, who knew her mother would react so strongly and even report it to Gu Chengan.
But it also fully proves that her father had encountered this before, otherwise her mother wouldn't be so nervous.
"Got it. You'll wash the dishes later." Seeing that she had listened, he reminded her again and then hurried out.
He sighed, finished the rest of the wild vegetable porridge, and ate a wild vegetable steamed bun before getting up to wash the dishes.
After cleaning the kitchen and feeding Dahuang and the chickens, he locked the door and went to the fields.
Ever since the rain ended, the weather in June is getting hotter day by day. I guess it will be even hotter in July in a few days.
I took a kettle from home and walked to the field, stood on the edge of the field, and watched the people who were weeding desperately with hoes.
There were also people carrying farm manure back and forth. At this moment, He Wanqing had a deeper understanding of her life since returning home for nearly two months.
Perhaps she could use the memories of her past life and death to help everyone, so that the villagers wouldn't have to work so hard.
"Wanqing, why are you standing here?" Wu Daya, who was carrying farm manure, came over from behind her.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when she walked in front of He Wanqing, some of the fertilizer in the bucket spilled out.
Fortunately, He Wanqing, who had been paying attention to her surroundings, immediately took a step back the moment she appeared, otherwise the liquid would have splashed on her.
Looking at Wu Daya, she thought of her past life again. Thinking of the man she mentioned, she curled her red lips and spoke coldly:
"Grandma, I'm here to see if you guys are slacking off, otherwise why am I standing here?
By the way, grandma, regarding the marriage you mentioned last time, when will your little sister Hehua get married?
You mentioned this before I got married. Now I’ve been married for more than a month, almost two months. Why haven’t you held the wedding yet?
You don’t think highly of the commune’s son-in-law, so you don’t agree to this marriage! ? ? ? "
Looking at Wu Daya's sudden change of expression, she was in a good mood. She had forgotten about this matter, but who knew that she would bring it up again. It really seemed that God was on her side.
"Wanqing, it's no wonder Xu Dahua said you are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued now, I think that's true.
When did I say that the man told your aunt Hehua? Don’t talk nonsense. Your aunt Hehua is still young.
My family is not like yours, which married you off early. I want to keep her for two more years, so there is no rush."
After turning around and looking around and not seeing anyone else, Wu Daya breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the troubles her daughter had encountered in the past month, she felt so angry that her teeth itched, and the look she gave He Wanqing was extremely vicious.
Facing the vicious eyes, He Wanqing did not raise a finger, her eyes raised and her thin lips curled up: "Little grandma, even if you are in a good temper and are bullied, you will resist.
What's more, I am not a pushover. Why do you say that I am sharp-tongued? Why are you allowed to scold me and talk about me, but not allow me to fight back?
Or do you think that just because I call you grandma, I really consider myself my elder? ? ? " His eyes suddenly became fierce, but returned to normal before she spoke;
"Elder, do you think you are worthy???" He looked at her with a mocking expression on his face, and before she was about to speak, he said:
"You think that man is not good now, so why did you look so excited when you told me about it that day???"
While appreciating Wu Daya's Sichuan Opera face-changing, he watched her pick up her load and prepare to leave, and added calmly:
"Wu Daya, since you started it, you should finish it yourself. If you don't keep such a good son-in-law for yourself, it would be a shame for your praise that day. Am I right?"
