Chapter 32, Help
Of course Li Yulan knew that Qianqian had to do so many things by herself, especially when she saw her buy a lot of meat to make jerky for her son, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
She is even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
But she has a lot of work here and I can't spare any time to help her.
I can't just go and help her and let the old lady do all the housework. That's not acceptable no matter how you look at it.
"Mom, don't work so hard. Leave these clothes here and I'll wash them later. Go call Dad and the others to come back for dinner." Liu Ying is a good worker.
I also take care of my son by myself, cook and do the laundry for the family, and I don't stop all day long.
Looking at her eldest daughter-in-law's haggard face, Li Yulan felt distressed.
"Give Hao'er to me and I'll take him with me." She couldn't handle it all by herself.
But the work in the fields in early spring is heavy, and her family has a lot of land, so she really can't handle it all at once.
Liu Ying did not agree. If her son went with his mother, she would not be able to walk fast enough, and if she was late, the food in the pot would get cold.
"Forget it, Mom, you should go call Dad and the others back for dinner. Take a nap at noon and work again in the afternoon."
This happens in every household every day.
The An family has few fields, and the two of them can slowly get busy, but the housework is a bit rushed.
The An family has no cows, so they have to hire people to plow the fields. They don't mind the money, but they can't hire anyone.
There was no other way, they could only wait until the villagers had finished plowing the land and then go and hire someone else.
At the village chief's house, the village chief and his eldest son worked hard and finally plowed all the fields in three days.
As soon as he got home, the village chief told his wife that the An family had not yet plowed the land.
This time, without waiting for Li Yulan's consent, Liu Ying agreed: "Dad, let Brother Xing go to plow the fields for my brother and sister-in-law's house later. Anyway, the housework is done." After plowing the fields, he would have to fertilize the land, so he would not be needed for this work.
The eldest daughter-in-law's words shocked the whole family.
Even Mao Jianxing looked at his wife in disbelief.
He touched her head and said, "You don't have a fever." How could he not know what his wife was like?
He was usually very stingy, but now he was asked to help others with work. He could only think of one reason: "You didn't take money from your brother's wife." Mao Jianxing said with a look of disbelief.
Liu Ying was very angry.
When she heard her man say that to her, she immediately dropped her bowl and started cooking without caring whether her parents-in-law were there or not.
He grabbed his ear and yelled, "Am I that kind of person? I would never take money from my brother's wife. What are you talking about? I told you not to talk nonsense." The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and the harder he hit her.
This time, the village chief and Li Yulan had no intention of speaking for their eldest son.
Just eat it yourself.
The two were very satisfied with their eldest daughter-in-law's behavior.
This is what a family should be like, helping each other.
After beating and scolding him, Liu Ying rolled her eyes at Mao Jianxing and said, "Humph."
Mao Jianxing still couldn't figure it out. Did his wife take the wrong medicine?
"You know what you're like in normal times, so I'm just asking." Really, he even took action.
An Qianqian had no idea what was happening here. She was discussing with her mother which family's cow to use to plow the field.
It’s not that they haven’t thought about raising a cow, but neither of them knows how to do it.
"Mom, how about we not farm next year?" An Qianqian realized the hard work of farming. Now that she has some money, she doesn't want her mother to work so hard.
An's mother didn't think so: "It's okay, it's just a few days late, there's no rush." Spring planting will take some time, there's no rush, it's fertile land, the worst that can happen is that you can just carry more manure yourself.
"If you don't farm, what will you plant? Stop daydreaming, kid." If you don't farm, what will you eat? You can't just buy food every day like people in the city.
That won't work.
An Qianqian just said that, people in rural areas still value their land very much.
If she really didn't farm, who knows how many people would curse her and her daughter behind their backs.
Shortly after lunch, Mao Jianxing arrived at An's house.
His arrival surprised the mother and daughter.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Looking at him leading the cow and carrying the plow, An Qianqian was confused.
Mao Jianxing looked at his brother's wife. He felt wronged because he was scolded by his wife because of her.
"Your sister-in-law asked me to come and plow the fields for you. I don't know where your fields are. Can you take me there, sister-in-law?" Most of his family's fields are around the village.
The fields of the An family are generally located in the mountains.
He still has to walk quite a distance, he won’t be able to find it.
He is not his father, so he can't remember everyone's fields.
"Ah." An Qianqian was stunned.
The eldest sister-in-law asked the eldest brother to plow the fields for her family.
Fortunately, at this time, Liu Ying came running over panting. "I told you not to wait for me for a while." She was full of complaints about her man.
Mao Jianxing looked at his wife who was running over and said dissatisfiedly, "If I don't walk faster, the cow will poop in front of someone else's door. Then I will have to clean it up, and you will scold me again."
After saying that, he looked at his wife aggrievedly.
Liu Ying was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, Aunt An is here. Let's go. There's some free time. Let's go plow the field." Liu Ying didn't want to argue with him anymore. It was useless anyway.
He doesn't need to change.
An Qianqian and her mother were of course happy about it. They packed up immediately and took the two of them to their own fields.
After being soaked in water for several days, it is now very easy to plow the fields without making the oxen too tired.
An Qianqian discovered that when the field was turned over by the rake, there were quite a few eels.
She wasn't going to let it go.
Of course, there are leeches in the fields.
This thing sucks blood.
Her blood smells so good, and it's the thing that attracts this thing the most.
An Qianqian didn't take off her slippers and went downstairs in her oiled shoes.
Fortunately, you can’t use too much water when plowing the land, otherwise it won’t be enough.
When Liu Ying saw her go down, she asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, why are you going down?"
"I see a lot of eels in the fields. I plan to catch some to eat." As An Qianqian finished her words, she caught an eel in her hand.
Liu Ying was dumbfounded by this operation.
"How did you catch it? It's slippery in the water and hard to catch." Liu Ying walked over with admiration on his face.
An Qianqian felt very embarrassed when seeing this.
She didn't know what happened to her, but she caught it after seeing it.
Liu Ying also came down to try to catch them, but unfortunately, she was no good. She didn't catch any and instead let several escape.
In the end, he was ridiculed by Mao Jianxing.
After An's mother told Mao Jianxing that the fields belonged to her family, she went straight home.
You have to invite people to dinner in the evening. They work for you, and you have to provide them with meals, not to mention that they are your in-laws.
She planned to go back and buy a chicken to stew, then go to her uncle He's house to buy a duck to fry, and add some bacon, and that would be it.
She also invited her in-laws to come over for dinner in the evening. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she would be busy, and her mother quickened her pace.
As soon as she returned to the village, she got busy.
I bought and killed a duck, and asked my in-laws not to cook in the evening and to come to my house for dinner.
Li Yulan was also a straightforward person. When she couldn't refuse, she came over with her grandson in her arms to help.
