After June, it is the Lesser Heat.
After a heavy rain last night, the earth was lush and green, full of vitality.
The couple squatted in their private plot, one shoveling the ground and the other weeding.
Not far away, Lin Juhua saw Zhou Jiao moving her feet cautiously and burst into laughter.
"Jiaojiao, stop doing this, I'll come later."
Zhou Jiao responded loudly: "Second sister-in-law, no need, I can do it. Slow work makes fine work."
Lin Juhua jokingly asked, "You know how to thin out the seedlings, right? Can you tell what kind of seedlings they are?"
Seeing Zhang Guoqing laughing, Zhou Jiao glanced at him. "If you're capable, why don't you apply fertilizer?"
Zhou Jiao muttered softly, "Aren't the tall ones millet and soybeans, and the newly grown corn and sorghum just these four? I can recite them all."
Zhang Guoqing heard it with keen ears, pointed to a place, and said with a smile: "Then what are those types? If you guess correctly, there will be a reward, and I can also agree to a condition for you."
"No, I don't want a reward. It's either sweet potatoes or potatoes. Do you think we can handle the harvest here and in the backyard in the fall?"
"The harvest is done, we'll take it to the county town and sort it out slowly." Zhang Guoqing wasn't worried at all. As long as there was space, there was no need to worry about the crops rotting in the fields.
Zhou Jiao nodded. She had been so foolish as to forget that she had a magical artifact. She glanced at Lin Juhua, who was not far away, her eyes filled with admiration and envy.
He really treats his woman like a man and works faster than Zhang Laoer next to him.
Zhang Guoqing finished his work at the edge and squatted down to quickly weed and thin out the seedlings. He looked up and saw that Zhou Jiao's face was covered in mud, so he quickly asked her to go home and check on the children.
It was busy farming season, and Zhang's mother had to work in the fields. Zhou Jiao was worried about Ping An being left with a few children. Hearing this, she quickly stood up and headed home.
Before she reached the door of her house, she heard the crying of the two sisters Maimiao, and Zhou Jiao was so scared that she ran to the yard.
When Zhou Jiao entered and saw the scene in front of her, she almost died of laughter.
Her son looked at the two crying sisters, shouting "Let's go" and patting the bamboo cart with his little hands. The cart became soft and bounced up with every pat he made. If she hadn't wrapped the front with several layers of cotton, it would have fallen apart.
When he saw Zhou Jiao, Ping An happily raised his arms to ask her to hug him.
Zhou Jiao quickly asked the two little girls, "What's wrong? Don't cry. Tell your aunt what's wrong first."
After she finished speaking, she saw Ping'an kicking the stroller with his feet, and she was so scared that she quickly picked up the child.
This little ancestor has already kicked one cart to pieces, if this one breaks any more it’s really gone.
"Auntie, it hurts. It hurts so much. My little brother is so strong. My arm is broken."
"I want my mother, it hurts so much..."
It's over! Zhou Jiao's heart skipped a beat. She glared at the child in her arms. Seeing that he had become obedient, she quickly put the child on her lap and reached out to lift the sleeves of the two girls.
I saw that the two little girls' arms were hit hard and were all swollen.
"Be good, come into the house with your aunt first. I'll apply some medicine on you and the pain will go away immediately. Later I'll beat your little brother to vent your anger."
Mai Miao used his other hand to pull Mai Sui up and followed Zhou Jiao into the room.
After putting her son on the kang and taking out a toy for him, Zhou Jiao quickly applied ointment to the two children. Feeling uneasy, she applied ointment with gauze and bandaged them.
After pouring a basin of water and helping the two girls wash their faces, she finally had time to ask what was going on in detail.
"My little brother wanted to go out. I told him to, but he didn't listen. He kept telling me to go for a walk and to stand up. My sister and I tried to pull him, but he just slapped us hard."
Zhou Jiao saw the two girls complaining and crying, and then looked at her son who climbed into her arms and smiled. She was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Little auntie apologizes to you on behalf of my brother. He still doesn't understand what you say. When he grows up and understands, he will still bully you. Then little auntie will beat him, okay?"
Mai Miao shook her head. "Don't hit my little brother. He's a very good kid and very obedient. He wanted to leave because my big brothers ran away. My big brothers are so mean. It's all their fault."
Zhou Jiao shed tears for Xizi and the others, she looked so innocent.
She touched the little head of Mai Sui, who nodded immediately, and said with a smile, "After applying the medicine, do you still feel pain now?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. It feels cold inside."
"Yeah, it's chilly."
Seeing the medicine take effect, Zhou Jiao finally felt relieved. She wiped the tears of the two girls with a towel and saw them happily surrounding her son again.
She worried secretly. How could she explain this to her two sisters-in-law? She really couldn't bear to let her hit her son. She knew her son well. She probably thought her son had been cornered and hit her.
The bad boy had been disciplined by her and knew not to hit others. Otherwise, with her son's strength, it wouldn't be a red and swollen arm, but a broken arm. But she still had to give an explanation.
Zhou Jiao thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any good solution, so she decided to let Zhang Guoqing solve it.
She stood up, holding her son in her arms, and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll make you some steamed egg cakes. If your arms hurt, remember to tell me, okay?"
Mai Sui quickly looked up and shouted, "Aunt, I want the same thing as my brother, not the egg cake."
Zhou Jiao knew she wanted to stew eggs and nodded with a smile. Nowadays, not only can she stew eggs, she can even stew old hens.
After Zhang Guoqing tidied up his private plot, he returned to the yard. He smelled a fragrance and was startled by the gauze on the arms of Maimiao and the other maids as he entered the kitchen.
"What happened? How did you two sisters get hurt, Mai Miao?"
After a long while, Zhang Guoqing finally pieced together what had happened and looked at his son speechlessly.
After watching the child for a while, he finished the small bowl of stewed eggs. No wonder he has so much strength.
"Jiaojiao, you have to take care of your son by yourself from now on. He is too destructive." Speaking of Ping An's destructive power, Zhang Guoqing was speechless.
The child liked to hear the sound of bowls breaking. After much effort, I trained him to stop breaking them. But then he didn't like sleeping in the cradle, so he kicked it and broke it. After I trained him to stop kicking the cradle, he started kicking the stroller instead.
If we were to film people now, something bad would happen. We really can't afford to pay for the damage done to people.
"Only if I bring him to him personally can he speak and understand."
"Actually, Ping An is quite well-behaved. He won't do anything unless you provoke him. Just let him do what he wants."
Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you're like this, be careful that your son will be so domineering when he grows up."
"It's okay. Even if he gets troublesome again, just leave it to Dad when the time comes." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.
"How are we going to tell my elder and younger sisters-in-law later? The swelling will take at least several days to go down. I'm so worried!" Zhou Jiao looked at him eagerly, hoping he could give her some advice.
Zhang Guoqing patted her and took his son. "Don't worry, he'll be fine after applying the ointment. Children in the countryside often fight with their heads broken and bloody, but they're still fine."
Zhou Jiao didn't think so. She thought to herself that if she was safe and was photographed like this, she would never have anything to do with that family. Children can only do it themselves, so how could they bear to be bullied?
After the two little girls Mai Miao finished eating, Zhang Guoqing took them back to the room, untied the gauze, wiped off the ointment, and seeing that it was not very serious, he applied a layer of ointment on them again and threw away the gauze.
After looking around and finding that it was no longer an eyesore, Zhang Guoqing took them to the eldest and second eldest brothers' homes to explain.
After explaining and apologizing, the couple said that being a parent was not easy, quickly packed up their things, and rushed back to the county town with their child.
