Chapter 5: Who is the lazy one?
It’s not that no one saw them on the road, but because the old lady was there, no one dared to open their mouths, for fear that the old lady would come forward and slap them.
But after people walked away, they would still start gossiping.
Of course, Mei Xue and the others couldn’t hear these words, and if they couldn’t hear them, they wouldn’t know.
Finally they arrived at their own fields. The old lady was tired from walking, so she sat on a big rock under a tree to rest.
"Xiaoxue, take a rest. You must be tired after walking such a long way." Sitting down, the old lady picked up the water bottle she carried with her and took a sip of water.
Mei Xue didn't feel tired, but she was not in a hurry either. She sat down next to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, our seedlings are growing so well." They are so green and lush, which makes people happy.
But who knows.
"What's so good about it? Look at the ones across the street, our seedlings aren't growing well." Everyone knows that two months have passed since the fields were planted, and other people's seedlings have all sprouted, while theirs are still young and haven't sprouted at all.
This is a serious lack of fertilizer.
There are less than two months left before the autumn harvest, but the old lady in their family is very anxious.
However, she planted one month later than others. Calculating the time, it would be almost time for the autumn harvest by the end of August.
After August it is the rainy season. If we miss it, we will have no food to survive the winter in the second half of the year.
Fat?
Mei Xue is the least afraid of this, because the water in her space is the best plant fertilizer in the world.
However, the old lady also wanted to amuse Xiaoxue.
Seeing her anxious face, the old lady laughed unkindly, "Haha, Xiaoxue, look how scared you are. Grandma has been farming for a lifetime, how can she be afraid of not having a harvest?"
Seeing her grandma being so naughty, what can Mei Xue do?
Just pamper her.
"Yes, grandma is very powerful."
After resting, the old lady didn't bother to be polite with Xiaoxue. Indeed, it would take her at least one or two days to finish working on the four fields by herself.
As we get older, our hands and feet become slower and slower than before.
"See this? These ones that grow taller than the seedlings are all weeds. We have a lot of them in our fields. We have to go down to the fields and pull out all the weeds." The old lady began to teach Xiaoxue how to do the work.
Xiaoxue could tell it at a glance. It looked like wheat, but it wasn't wheat. She didn't know what it was. "Okay, grandma."
After receiving the task, Mei Xue started working immediately.
She started from the lower field and worked her way up piece by piece, so that her grandmother wouldn't have to run up and down.
The main reason was that I was afraid that since it was my first time, I wouldn’t be as fast as grandma and would make her tired from running up and down.
Looking at Xiaoxue's back as she left, the old lady was so satisfied. She was a little bit pampered, but she was not pretentious when working.
Mei Xue looked at the land and found that it was just as the old lady said, the field was not fertile. However, it didn't matter, there was still some water in the field. Mei Xue pulled out the seedlings while dripping space water on the field.
Because there was still water in the ground, she didn't need to drip water under each seedling. As long as the water from space was dropped into the field, it would nourish the rice seedlings by itself.
Walking piece by piece, Mei Xue bent down, stood up, and threw, the three movements were combined in one breath.
The action is fast and fierce, without wasting any time.
She quickly cleared out all the stolen seedlings in a field and moved on.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the seedlings were saying thank you to her. Hehe, she smiled and started working on the next piece.
Mei Xue had finished working on three of the four plots of land in two hours, and the old lady had also weeded the largest plot of land at the top.
Mei Xue wanted to spread the food out of the space, so she went down to the fields again and started looking for good food in the fields.
Seeing her action, the old lady was shocked: "Xiaoxue, come up quickly, you can't turn the soil, or the rice will die."
Don't get too familiar with that action, it's obviously turning over eels in the ground.
There are a lot of these things in the fields, but now is not the time to turn them over.
The old lady was so anxious.
Mei Xue was just pretending, and she didn't need to turn over. As soon as the water in the space appeared, these things ran to her side by themselves.
She caught a lot of them in the field below, but she let the small ones go and gathered all the big ones, stringing them together one by one with grass.
"Grandma, I didn't turn over the fields, and these eels ran out by themselves." Afraid that grandma would worry, Mei Xue sprinkled a large amount of space water in one place and then did not go into the fields.
The old lady didn't believe it. She walked up to Mei Xue and was shocked when she saw the eel at her feet.
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
It was the first time the old lady had seen such a scene.
Mei Xue looked innocent, "I don't know, maybe my meat is too fragrant, they all surrounded my legs."
Seeing that she was still making trouble, I knew I hadn't scared her. "You, hurry up and catch her. We'll have meat to eat tonight."
Hehehe, Mei Xue was so happy.
After the space water was spread, Mei Xue and her grandmother took the big eel to the edge of the field.
"Grandma, I have a lot of them over there too. Let's go and take them back quickly." She was afraid that they would be strung to death.
The old lady was shocked. Thinking of the scene just now, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How much is a lot?
When she saw the bunches of eels on the ground, the old lady took a deep breath and said, "I'll go to the street tomorrow."
There are so many, we can’t eat them all at home.
Mei Xue was confused: "Why?" She asked with a confused look on her face.
"Sell it! There's so much, can you finish it? Aren't you afraid of vomiting?" The villagers can eat it from time to time, so they don't particularly like it.
Of course, if you don’t have money, you are not qualified to choose.
But this thing is sold at a high price. With so many of them, you can exchange them for a barrel of oil.
"Oh, they're all sold?" Mei Xue felt a little reluctant.
She wanted to eat it. It was pure natural, without any mutation, and the meat smelled delicious.
"Yes, I've sold them all. I won't leave any for you. You'll be so greedy." The old lady said this with a serious face, but why did she say this? It was so funny.
"Grandma, you're teasing me again." How could she not hear it?
Just like his master, very naughty.
“Okay, put it in the bucket and don’t let anyone see it. If they come to our field to dig up eels, we won’t be able to eat this year.” The old lady was a cautious person.
"Well, I'll listen to grandma." Mei Xue smiled.
I filled a bucket with some water and added some space water to ensure I could survive until tomorrow.
They finished work earlier than usual today, and the grandmother and granddaughter walked home talking and laughing.
On the way back, they met some people from the village, but for the sake of Grandma He, everyone expressed their condolences to Mei Xue, and fortunately, they were all very friendly.
It was as if the gossip from the previous two days had never existed, but Mei Xue didn't pay much attention to these people and always had a smile on her face.
She was satisfied with the eel in her hand.
"Aunt-in-law, you can enjoy your life now. Xiaoxue is so capable that she can even help you with work." Sister-in-law Yong is the direct niece-in-law of Grandma He, but she is the most talkative.
On weekdays, Grandma He disliked her the most. She even had a fight with Grandma He a few years after she came into the family.
