Chapter 89, Will You Miss Me?
After sending everyone away, He Anze went to the back mountain to chop wood. The requirements for the wood were not high, as long as it could bear the weight.
They also need some small bamboos, which they have at home and don't have to go to the mountains to cut.
Mei Xue originally wanted to help him in the afternoon, but He Anze didn't let her.
He Anze has been counting the days. The rice at home can be harvested at the end of the month, and he has to finish harvesting the rice before going to work.
The fish took four or five days to catch, during which time the pig and chicken coops at home were also perfectly prepared.
On the 25th, the weather was cloudy, and He Anze, Mei Xue, and An Wen went to their fields to harvest rice.
None of the families said no. They had taken advantage of Aunt San's family a lot these days. So what was wrong with letting their kid do some work?
Children in rural areas have nothing but a lot of strength.
There were few rice fields at home, and it took only one day to harvest all the rice in the fields.
During this time, Mei Xue also released water. There were a lot of good things in the fields. It was not easy to damage other people's fields, so Mei Xue certainly would not let go of her own fields.
One thing that must be mentioned during these days is He Anwei and his friends. They originally wanted to catch fish to sell, but they did catch fish, but not only did they not catch much, they almost couldn't come back.
Because not many people go there all year round, the wild boars may have developed a certain habit and go there to drink water from time to time.
When He Anwei and his friends went there, they encountered wild boars, not just one or two, but a whole group of them, which almost scared them to death.
Fortunately, He Anze and his team went fishing on the last day and were able to rescue several people.
In this way, those people in the village who had strange thoughts finally stopped.
They didn't think they were lucky enough to escape from so many wild boars.
For this, He Anwei's family blamed He Anze, saying that he attracted the wild boar's revenge and almost killed their son Anwei.
After hearing this, Grandma He started cursing from a distance, and only stopped after Aunt Yong was beaten up by her own man.
It was not known whether He Anwei was frightened out of his wits or not, he became very quiet, which was a bit frightening.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with He Anze and his family.
I saved your life, and you're not grateful, but you actually...
If they had known earlier, they would still have saved him. They are from the same village and there is no life-and-death feud between them, so they would not just watch him die.
"Sister-in-law, stop it. Let's go back, or it will be dark." Because they were in a hurry, they spent the whole day in the fields.
Mei Xue brought back lunch for us.
Fortunately, a few young men were capable and harvested all the rice in several fields.
Everyone is so exhausted that I'm afraid even they haven't worked for so long at home.
Mei Xue had just discovered a good thing in the water. She was supposed to go to the fields to work together today, but He Anze saw that the sun was too strong and did not let her go. Mei Xue had nothing to do, so she went for a walk in the mountains.
We caught several pheasants, and now, with this thing in the water, we have a pot of dragon and phoenix soup.
Mei Xue's moves were quick, fierce and accurate. As soon as she stretched out her hand, something appeared in her hand.
Seeing that his sister-in-law ignored him, An Liang ran over here.
But when he ran up to her, she screamed, "Ah..." like a pig being slaughtered.
"Snake, snake, snake..." An Liang's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
After hearing his shouting, He Anze and others dropped what they were holding and ran over.
Mei Xue glanced at An Liang and rolled her eyes at him, "You're useless! It's just a snake, why are you afraid of it?" The snake coiled around Mei Xue's hand for a few more times.
But its vital point was pinched between Mei Xue's three fingers, and it had no strength to resist at all.
Mei Xue walked out of the stream and said, "What are you afraid of? Let me show you." Mei Xue, with a sense of mischief, put the snake in front of An Liang.
An Liang was frightened and lay on the ground. "Sister-in-law, I was wrong. Take it away quickly."
When He Anze and the others ran over, they saw Mei Xue holding a snake and scaring An Liang. "What's wrong?" He walked up to Mei Xue and asked worriedly.
Mei Xue shook her head. Perhaps she was used to his proximity. Now the gap between He Anze and Mei Xue was getting smaller and smaller.
"It's okay. I caught a snake. We'll have a delicious meal tonight." Mei Xue waved the snake in her hand happily.
Pheasants at noon and snakes at night, this daughter-in-law is really surprising, "Aren't you afraid?" He Anze said in confusion.
Mei Xue rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What are you afraid of?" Would she be afraid?
Oh, if she was afraid, she would have died countless times.
Those mutant beasts are much more powerful than these animals.
"Are you afraid it will eat you?" Mei Xue was in a good mood and teasingly touched He Anze's hand with the snake.
Unfortunately, He Anze was not afraid at all, "Don't make trouble, I'm not afraid of snakes." He had eaten countless snakes, so how could he be afraid.
"Okay, let's go quickly. It's getting dark soon, and the road will be difficult to travel if we get any later." Seeing that no one was hurt, He Anze immediately asked everyone to leave.
Mei Xue chopped off the snake's head with all her strength, and followed them with the snake's body in her hand.
When I got home, it was already dark. Fortunately, Meixue had picked up rice and other crops during the day, so there wasn't much left at night.
Several people brought them back together.
Grandma He prepared dinner at home and waited until dark before she saw him come back. "Why are you so late? Have you finished harvesting?" The rice in their family grew well this year, even more than last year.
"The harvest is complete and water has been added to the fields. After two more days of moistening, we can start turning over the loaches." He Anze replied with a smile.
"Third grandma, I'm so hungry. Can we eat now?" After working for a whole day, An Liang and his friends were really tired and hungry.
"Okay, okay, it's all ready. Third Grandma will bring it to you."
Maybe it’s because they have been together for a long time, the relationship between them has become more and more harmonious.
After Mei Xue washed her face, she began to take out the snake.
He looked at everyone and said, "Do you still want to eat snake meat? If you do, I'll make it now."
When several people heard this, they hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Sister-in-law, please let me go."
Only He Anze's mind moved.
Seeing that no one wanted to eat, Mei Xue did not force them, "Okay, let's eat tomorrow."
At noon, Mei Xue caught several pheasants and Grandma He cooked two for fear that they would not have enough to eat.
There is also meat. People who do heavy work need to nourish themselves well, and she doesn't want to let them go hungry.
The leisure time at home is always so short. After He Anze helped his family store the rice into the warehouse, it was time for him to leave.
At night, He Anze kept pestering Mei Xue, "Wife, I'm going to the county town tomorrow, will you miss me?"
Mei Xue pushed away the people around her. It was too hot. "I don't want to."
"Why? I'm your man, how can you not miss me?"
"Missing you can't be eaten. Stay away from me. It's so hot." Mei Xue couldn't stand this guy. He was so childish.
"Will you feel uncomfortable when I'm not at home?" He Anze said as he moved a little further away.
