He Baolian scratched his ears, thinking of the money he had just remitted a few days ago, and moved the phone away from his ears.
After the phone went silent, he started to explain: "Mom, listen to me, I..."
He Baolian had a good idea, but it was a pity that Grandma He didn't give him a chance to explain.
She looked at the rising phone bill, thought that she had already cursed enough, and hung up the phone without even a warning.
This also made He Baolian, who had just opened his mouth and hadn't said a word, feel his forehead veins throbbing. He felt like he was being tricked into a deep pit by his own mother, and that he could never get out of it no matter how hard he tried.
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and his veins jumped when he thought of his wife and daughter eating stale meals at home.
When he thought of his current son-in-law, his forehead instantly turned black.
He really didn't understand why his family had no money for food and had to eat stale rice?
Besides, my son-in-law’s family is not bad either. They don’t look like they are someone who has no money to eat, right?
Looking at the phone on the table, he was hesitating whether to call his in-laws in Nanshi to ask.
If my daughter gets married to him, he won’t spend all his family’s savings, right? ? ? ?
He reached out for the phone, dialed a number, and then put it back.
Forget it. My mother called specifically and must be talking about his family. Since there is no money at home, then he can send some money back.
He reached into his pocket and remembered that he had sent all the money back. Now he was so poor that he was left with only his own people?
Then he slapped his forehead, thought of his two sons who were in training, picked up his hat on the table and left.
The guard who was waiting for him downstairs saw him come out and was about to salute, but he watched him walk around and head straight for the training ground.
Seeing this, he withdrew his half-raised hand and waited quietly by the side.
While He Baolian went to train his son, people in the brigade who had finished lunch also went to work one after another.
After making the call, Grandma He, who didn't want to go home, took Grandma Shen to sit at the entrance of the village and started chatting. She didn't go back to tell He Wanqing and her daughter that she had just called to curse.
So much so that a day later, when He's mother received the remittance, her mouth twitched as she looked at the telegram.
In the afternoon, there are not many people in the fields. Many people rush to finish their day's work in the morning and go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to earn money in the afternoon.
Those who come to the fields now are either here to do tomorrow's work so that they can go up the mountain early tomorrow morning, or they are lazy people who are slacking off.
"Cousin." Chen Ping, who was carrying a backpack, shouted to the person who was sitting under a tree with dogtail grass in her mouth.
He Wanqing, who was just about to go to the fields to do some work, heard the voice, looked up and said, "Xiao Ping, why are you carrying the backpack here?" She quickly walked over to her and took off the backpack from behind her.
"After work at noon, wasn't I late to go home? Then I heard from Xiao An that my aunt came in angrily in the morning and left happily.
So I was afraid that something would be waiting for me at home when I returned in the afternoon, so I thought about going to the mountain to pick wild vegetables first, and then going home after my father came back from the mountain. ”
Zhuang's seemingly casual words made He Wanqing's eyebrows jump. Thinking of her aunt's character, she paused with her hand holding the backpack and said, "I'll go to the mountain with you later."
"Okay." Hearing her answer, Chen Ping finally smiled.
Looking at the person whose smile was filled with sadness, she blinked and suppressed the words that suddenly came out of her mouth.
"You go and weed. I'll watch over here."
"Well, I'm leaving."
"Go!" Looking at the running figure, she looked up at the sky.
I hope my fifth aunt can repent, otherwise she will be in real trouble and her two cousins will no longer protect her.
"Wanqing, I'm done here, come over and take note."
"Hey~ here I come."
The sudden voice behind her interrupted her thoughts. She put the backpack on the ground in a conspicuous place, picked up the sickle and her work points book inside, and ran straight to the place where the voice came from.
As soon as one family finishes their work, the next one appears, and soon only the Xu family is left in the field.
Looking at the empty field with only ankle-high corn seedlings, she asked Chen Ping to wait for her there while she walked over to He Cao and the others.
"It's already past two o'clock. Everyone has finished their work and gone up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to earn money. Your family is really rich and there's no need to worry at all.
I say, there are so many people in your family, and it's such a small job and you haven't finished it in such a long time. Are you just slacking off? ? ? ? ”
He scanned several people and finally found that just like in his previous life, there were not many people in the Xu family who actually worked.
In their previous life, with her as their capable and hard-working old ox, it didn’t matter if they didn’t earn full work points.
After all, she didn't finish her work ahead of time that day, and she still had to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and hunt wild animals at night to earn money to feed them.
Now?
Her beautiful eyes glanced at He Cao, who could hardly bear it anymore, and she curled her lips into a smile.
If I can't bear this, then I'm going to die.
"What the hell is your business? You're just a work point recorder, why do you care what time we have to work?"
Seeing her so leisurely, clean, with red lips and white teeth, Xu Xiahua retorted with dissatisfaction.
“It’s none of my business, but you’re affecting my ability to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and earn money, so hurry up and don’t dawdle.
Otherwise, I will ask the captain to separate you tomorrow, each of you in your own place, so that you don't have time to slack off with each other. ”
Her tone suddenly changed and she looked at them with a cold face, making it clear to them that she was not joking.
"You~" Seeing her face suddenly change, and thinking of what her mother said about her hitting people, Xu Qiuhua pulled Xu Xiahua who was about to continue to refute her.
Shaking off the hand that was being pulled, Xu Xiahua walked to her field. Looking at the endless ridges and dense weeds, she felt upset.
The blisters on the palms of her hands reminded her that it was time to rest.
Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and looked back at He Wanqing. After seeing that she went to talk to her mother and the others, she slipped in front of her sister.
The two sisters whispered for a while, gesturing with their hands as they talked, and finally their eyes fell on He Cao. They looked at the blisters on the palms of their hands and nodded at the same time.
"She's the one. The more capable you are, the more work you should do!"
"Mom, my elder sister and I are going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. Please ask He Cao to do our job."
"Mom, we haven't gone to the mountain to pick wild vegetables this year. If we don't go now, I guess all the wild vegetables on the mountain will be picked up.
My younger sister and I don’t have much left, we still have six work points. You can ask He Cao to help us finish them. We’re leaving now. ”
The two sisters didn't wait for Zhu Sanni's consent. After they finished speaking, they ran out.
By the time Zhu Sanni finished scolding He Cao and looked up, the two of them had already left the field and reached the dam.
Seeing this, she said, "You lazy bastards, you just slack off every day. Luckily, you are going to pick wild vegetables this time, otherwise, I will punish you two when I get home."
After scolding him a few times, her face changed and she glared at He Cao fiercely: "Why are you dawdling? Hurry up and work. What do you want to do?
I’m telling you, my family doesn’t keep idle people. If you don’t earn enough work points today, don’t go home to eat and sleep at night. ”
