Everyone was busy at the lotus pond. Lotus roots were being dug out one by one. Some people were responsible for picking the lotus roots, while others were responsible for transporting them. A large pile of lotus roots was piled up on the roadside.
The water in the pond has been drained, and the middle-aged and elderly people and older children are responsible for catching fish in it. The fish do not belong to whoever catches them, but must be distributed fairly by the village.
However, the most diligent ones in catching fish are the children. There are also some naughty children who secretly take away one or two palm-sized fish and roast them in the wild.
Even if adults see it, they will pretend not to see it and turn a blind eye to it.
Children of poor families grow up early, and they know where they can light a fire to grill fish and where they cannot.
So there is no need to worry about these children causing a fire.
The strong men are responsible for digging lotus roots, which is a physical job and those with less strength cannot do it!
When Jiang Yanzhi brought Tang Xinyi over, almost all the people from the Zheng family were groping in the lotus pond.
The big fish must be kept for unified distribution in the village, but the small crabs and shrimps in the pond are left alone.
Whoever catches these things owns them. There aren't many of them anyway.
Just consider it as a benefit for the villagers.
Now, the Zheng family's children are helping to catch fish, but they are mainly going for the crabs and shrimps. Whenever they catch crabs and shrimps, they put them in their own buckets.
It was Zheng's aunt who had a sharp eye. She was in charge of guarding the place, so her body was relatively clean.
"Is Yanzhi here?"
"Hey, look who is this?"
"Daughter-in-law Yan, did you just arrive?"
As soon as Zheng's aunt saw the two of them, she greeted them warmly.
There are so many people watching anyway, so one more won’t make a difference.
"Meijuan, who is this?"
Just as Zheng's aunt was talking to Tang Xinyi and Jiang Yanzhi, a familiar neighbor came over and asked about Tang Xinyi's identity.
After all, Jiang Yanzhi and the others knew each other, but they had never met Tang Xinyi.
"This is my nephew's wife. What do you think? Isn't she pretty?"
Zheng's aunt is a talkative person. When someone asked, she happily introduced Tang Xinyi's identity to them.
"Oh, this little guy is so handsome, Yan Zhi is really lucky!"
Hearing what Zheng's aunt said, several aunts and sisters nearby gathered around as if to watch the fun.
"Xiao Jiang is so lucky to have married such a beautiful wife!"
"How old is Xiao Jiang's wife this year? How many people are there in her family? Do she have many brothers and sisters?"
"Is your brother married? What does the boy look like?"
"How long do you plan to stay this time? Your grandma must be very happy to see your new granddaughter-in-law, right?"
The mouths of the aunties and sisters are really passionate and tight.
He asked questions here and there, wishing he could find out everything about Tang Xinyi's ancestors.
Tang Xinyi now feels a little regretful. Why did she follow Jiang Yanzhi out?
At least when she was at home, she only had to deal with her grandma, but when she went out, she had to deal with questions from so many aunts and sisters.
I really can't answer this, okay?
"Hey, just be quiet for a while and stop asking."
"I won't be watching over you when you have someone at my house. Just keep an eye on the fish and come over to my house when you have time!"
Seeing that the questions these people asked were becoming more and more outrageous, my aunt decided to take my nephew and his wife home first.
"Hey, who is this person so shameless?"
"You want to leave before the work is finished? Are you trying to escape collective labor?"
Just when Zheng's aunt wanted to take the two of them away, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind them.
The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw an aunt with pigtails.
The old lady was leaning on a shovel with one hand and supporting her waist with the other, looking towards them.
"I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be from Sandunzi's family!"
"I get paid based on how much work I do. Who are you being so sarcastic about?"
It is obvious that Zheng's aunt is not on good terms with the Sandunzi family.
The other party's tone was so aggressive from the start, as if he was meddling in other people's business.
"Hmph, that sounds nice, like you get points based on how much work you do. Did you report to the team leader before you left?"
"Every household is busy working in the lotus pond, but you're the only one leaving early. What's wrong? Are you so shameless?"
After these words were spoken, even the people around him looked a little unhappy.
They were not targeting Zheng's aunt, but they felt that Sandunzi's family was quite shameless for saying this.
There were so many people from the Zheng family, but only she from Sandunzi's family came.
Even with this, she still has the nerve to come out and shout. I wonder whose power she is relying on?
"Yes, everyone in every household is busy at the lotus pond. I wonder where your Sandunzi has gone? Have you reported it to the team leader?"
"In our family, the whole family, young and old, went to the battle together. But in your family, I see only you, and you are standing on the shore with a shovel in your hand."
"If people like you who just stand still can be counted as work points, isn't that unfair to other families who contribute manpower and labor?"
The Zheng family's aunt is not someone who is easy to bully. I don't know what's wrong with this Sandunzi family. They actually dared to come and get involved with her. Today, they must be taught a lesson.
"Not many people came to my house, but I'm only given work points based on how many people came. I've been busy for over half a day!"
"Unlike some people who want to leave before finishing their work!"
I have to say, this Sandunzi family is quite crooked.
Not only does he talk about crooked ideas, but he can also turn crooked ideas into straight ones. He is considered a talent.
