Because Old Mrs. Shen said she was a jinx.

It's strange to say, but since she was born, nothing good has happened to Shen Yu's family.

First, Chen Li suffered a severe hemorrhage and nearly died. After finally being one month old, Shen Yu broke his leg and it took him three months to heal. After that, Shen Yu's family was constantly plagued by disasters, big and small.

Shen Yu coughed all year round and had difficulty speaking. The two younger ones who were born later were also born weak, especially the youngest one, who had purple lips and a big head, and looked unwell.

Although the eldest and second sons were not sick, they often had their heads bruised, their feet sprained, or they fell while walking.

In short, Shen Yu's family is as miserable as it can be.

Everyone gradually came to believe what Old Lady Shen said about the unlucky star. Otherwise, how could they explain this seemingly accidental but actually not simple event?

A few middle-aged women of the same age saw Aunt Zhang in a daze and knew what was going on. The mean-looking Aunt Zhu Wu curled her lips and said, "What's the use of being pretty? She's a jinx. Whoever marries her will be unlucky..."

Aunt Zhang glared at him and said, "Mrs. Zhu, please be more polite when you speak. Xiaoxi didn't provoke you. She even helped you carry firewood home the day before yesterday. You can't be a heartless person!"

Aunt Zhu Wu seemed to have remembered it too. Speaking of which, this child is really good, but why is he a jinx? "I...I also heard it from Old Lady Shen."

"Then let me ask you, if Xiaoxi is said to be a jinx, then why are Old Lady Shen, Second Old Man Shen, and Third Old Man Shen all fine for so many years?"

"Old Lady Shen said that Shen Baozhi was a lucky star. Without her, the Shen family would be finished." Aunt Zhu Wu looked around and lowered her voice. "I'm telling the truth. When Baozhi was born, there was a heavy rainstorm that lasted for more than half a month, and then it stopped all of a sudden. The cherry trees and sand apple trees outside Old Lady Shen's yard were all in bloom. Old Lady Shen said that her old cold legs were also healed. That year, we lived a very good life. You won't forget this, right?"

Everyone was silent.

You looked at me and I looked at you, but we both knew that Aunt Zhu was telling the truth.

That was in 1964. The nice spring rain turned into a continuous downpour, and the crops that had just sprouted leaves were about to die. But it suddenly stopped on the day Shen Baozhi was born.

The harvest was good that year.

Everyone had a good year.

How could I forget this?

Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth and glared at Aunt Zhu Wu angrily, "If you are not afraid of being arrested, then continue to promote it. What lucky star? I think it's just a coincidence."

Aunt Zhu dared to throw a tantrum and curse people, but she really didn't dare to say it openly. What Old Lady Shen said was one thing, and it could be regarded as biased bragging, but she said, what's the matter with that?

She shut up.

She didn't dare to glare at Aunt Zhang because her son was a company-level cadre with a good family background and was young and promising. Naturally, she didn't dare to offend this old woman.

I can only swallow this breath.

Aunt Zhang was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked slowly towards the threshing ground, but she was wavering in her heart. Her son was 22 years old this year and it was difficult for him to get married. In addition, her son was not paying attention, so the marriage was delayed.

It would be great if Xiaoxi became her daughter-in-law. If it weren't for this reputation, she would have come to propose marriage long ago, but she didn't dare.

She spat at herself in disgust, shook her head with a wry smile, and suppressed the thought.

In front of the golden wheat fields, Shen Mingxi looked at the wheat ears swaying slightly in the morning breeze and quietly counted the grains on them. This year's harvest was actually not good, because there was little snow last winter and not much rain in the spring. But precisely because of this, the harvest should be done quickly to prevent heavy rain from affecting the hard-earned grain.

Team leader Shen Sanye was the most anxious, with blisters on the corners of his mouth. He waved his hand and gave the order to start work. Shen Mingxi grabbed the wheat with her left hand and waved the sickle with her right hand. In the blink of an eye, the wheat was neatly cut. She put it away carefully but very neatly, and then started the next action without blinking.

Soon, she left most of the people behind.

This includes young men in their prime.

They were all young men with blood. Seeing that they were left behind by Shen Mingxi from the village, they felt very embarrassed. A young man with a dark face tried his best to catch up.

The happy team leader, Mr. Shen Sanye, smiled so much that his goatee twitched up and down.

Looking at the thin figure in front of him, Mr. Shen San felt sorry for her. This girl was only sixteen years old, but she earned full work points like an adult.

Old Lady Shen's family was really partial, but Shen Yu was too filial, never complaining, and working hard, what else could he do? Third Master Shen glanced in the direction of the left, where the group of people cutting the grass the slowest was.

There were five of them in total, three of whom were middle school students in the village. They were helping their families earn some work points during the summer vacation and were assigned to a group by him.

But the other two are different from them.

The tallest of them, the handsome young man who looked unruly and waving a sickle around, was the most beloved grandson of his old friend, Grandpa Feng.

His name is Feng Anchen.

Seventeen years old this year.

He is very smart, but he just doesn't like reading.

In the capital city, he was causing trouble and getting into fights all day long. Seeing that if nothing was done, he might go down the wrong path and never come back, Feng Anchen's doting family started to panic.

Among several options, Feng Anchen finally agreed to come to Kaoshantun for training.

Because he didn't like any of the other options.

There is even a juvenile detention center.

Can he go there?

He was so angry that he turned hostile on the spot.

So after some deliberate comparison, Feng Anchen felt that this place was not bad. At least it was free.

But he has been here for two months.

Mr. Shen San was very worried.

The Feng family was really ruthless. They didn't give him a penny, not even a grain of food coupons, and just let him eat based on his own ability.

Although this child has a rebellious temperament, he is a man of his words and is very respectful to him.

But, this won’t work if you don’t know how to work.

His eyes lit up. Xiaoxi was a smart girl who could work. If he asked her to teach them, these people would know Xiaoxi's reputation for being capable and would surely learn from her diligently. Besides, they were all of the same age and would surely understand Xiaoxi's work techniques once she explained them.

This will also allow Xiaoxi to have a rest. Her child has just recovered from an illness, so she can't work so hard.

Her life has been hard enough.

Without further ado, he shouted loudly, "Shen Mingxi, Shen Mingxi, come here..."

When Shen Mingxi heard the captain calling her, she paused. Shen Jiawen behind her said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxi, go check it out. Third Grandpa must be looking for you for something."

It's so quiet here, please collect and recommend~~~
