The others were envious as they watched the Lin family quickly harvest an acre of wheat.
Four strong laborers can harvest the wheat in two days.
Ding Xiangzhi didn’t know about the envy of others. She was very happy at the moment as she played with the children picking wheat ears.
The three children each carried a small basket, which looked quite realistic.
Li Wenyu has been an educated youth for so many years, so working is no problem for him.
The original eldest lady has also become a skilled veteran.
Fang Yuanyuan helped pick wheat. Although her waist was tired, the hard work was worth it when she saw the basket full of harvest.
The sun gradually rose to the middle of the sky. Lin Jingshu looked at her watch and it was time to cook.
The three children sat aside and played happily. She told her sisters-in-law that she would go home and cook.
I kneaded the dough and kept it awake before leaving, and prepared fried pancakes, cold cucumber salad, and the leftover braised meat from yesterday for lunch.
After the meal is ready, carry the basket to the field to deliver the meal.
Many people brought their own meals with them to work in the fields, and they managed to make do with their own pickled cabbage and steamed bread to finish the meal.
Those who can afford it can fry a lunch box of oily green onions and eggs, which are delicious when eaten with steamed buns.
Lin Jingshu went over with a basket. Everyone smelled the aroma of scallion pancakes, but when they looked at the steamed buns in their hands, they instantly lost their appetite.
There is a small ditch nearby that leads to the village river. The water is clear and you can clearly see small fish swimming in it.
Lin Jingshu took a few children to wash their hands. They picked wheat and played in the mud. There was mud between their fingers, and it took them a long time to wash them clean.
After a tiring morning, the three children had a good appetite and ate more than before.
The wheat harvested in the morning has to be taken to the threshing ground and pounded with a roller before it can be removed from the ears.
After Lin Yongkang and his eldest son finished, Lin Jingshu and the children moved to the threshing ground.
You have to watch your own wheat carefully to prevent it from being stolen, and you have to turn it over in time to ensure even drying.
"An'an Ningning, don't run too far, come back quickly."
Lin Jingshu disappeared for a while, and the two children ran to the village entrance.
When Lin Qiaoqiao heard her voice, she paused, slowly turned around to look at the two children not far away, her eyes turning red.
If nothing had happened to that child, he would be this big now.
She lifted her foot uncontrollably and walked towards the two children.
At the same time, An An discovered that a strange person was approaching him and his sister. Thinking of the human traffickers his mother had mentioned, he pulled his sister and ran towards his mother.
He ran and shouted, "Mom, there are bad guys."
Lin Jingshu also saw the man's figure, protected the child behind her, and held the broom to her chest.
"What do you want to do? Go away now, or I won't be polite."
Lin Weidong came back from the field cursing.
Lin Qiaoqiao said she would come back to get some water, but she hadn't been seen for a long time and he was almost dying of thirst in the field.
As I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw the two people confronting each other, and my heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, how did these two get together?
Ever since Lin Jingshu came back, Lin Weidong asked Lin Qiaoqiao to go out less.
Their family is in such a miserable state that they can't even hold their heads up in front of others. Don't embarrass yourself by doing this.
Despite all precautions, the two still met.
"Jingshu, don't get excited. Qiaoqiao didn't mean anything else. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
Lin Weidong pulled Lin Qiaoqiao, who was standing there in a daze, away.
"Mom, who is that?"
A complicated look flashed across Lin Jingshu's eyes. That person turned out to be Lin Qiaoqiao. How could she become like this?
"Someone I know."
Lin Jingshu asked a few questions out of curiosity in the evening.
Ding Xiangzhi didn't want to hide it from his daughter, but the two families had no relationship, so there was no point in bringing it up.
Since her daughter asked, she told her what she knew.
"Qiaoqiao is divorced. The Zheng family kid is not a human being. She was pregnant at the time and they had a quarrel, and the child was lost. Later, the Zheng family was reported, and she simply took this opportunity to divorce."
After the divorce, Lin Qiaoqiao had nowhere to go and had to return to her parents' home.
Who knew that Zheng Guoqiang would not give up and came to the door.
Lin Qiaoqiao refused to go with him, so he scratched her face with a knife, causing Lin Qiaoqiao to have to cover her face and not dare to see anyone.
Lin Jingshu sighed after hearing this. She originally hated Lin Qiaoqiao, but looking at her current appearance, she felt a little pitiful.
On the second day after the wheat harvest, the Shuimogou Brigade welcomed a long-awaited rain.
Outside, the sky was overcast and drizzling. Lin Jingshu and her two children were sleeping soundly.
Rainy days are great weather for staying in bed, and I can sleep until around nine o'clock.
Ding Xiangzhi is preparing things to bring to her in-laws. Her daughter is leaving for Beijing the day after tomorrow, so she wants to bring some fresh dried goods from home for them.
This time when he came back, Hu Chuang was very busy and finally met them before they went to Beijing.
After the rain stopped, Hu Chuang drove to pick people up.
"An'an, Ning'ning, this is Uncle Hu."
"Hello, Uncle Hu!"
Hu Chuang saw that the two little guys were very happy and took out the gifts he had prepared.
The one prepared for An An was a mechanical model, and the one prepared for Ning Ning was the hair ornament that the little girl liked.
The two children liked it very much and held it in their arms tightly.
Ningning asked her mother to put away the hair flower. She had a hair flower today, and she would wear the one given by her uncle next time.
Hu Chuang's wife did not come out with him as she was in confinement after giving birth, so Lin Jingshu prepared some gifts for her.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Gu Chengze invited them to dinner at a state-owned restaurant. There weren't many places to go in the small county town, so every time they came back they would choose this place as the gathering place.
Upon learning that they were going to Beijing the day after tomorrow, Hu Chuang offered to take them there.
After dinner, they went to see Hu Chuang’s wife and children together, and then prepared to go home.
It started raining again on the road, and the two children fell asleep on the road during their lunch break.
After arriving home, Ding Xiangzhi invited Hu Chuang to come in and sit for a while.
"No, auntie, my wife is still waiting at home. I'll come over next time when I have time."
Ding Xiangzhi knew that they lived in a tube-shaped building in the county town and usually went there to buy vegetables, so she picked a basket of vegetables from her own vegetable garden and asked him to take it back.
“The vegetables grown at home are big and fresh.”
Hu Chuang grinned and said, "Thank you, auntie. My wife has been craving for home-cooked food lately. It looks so delicious."
Ding Xiangzhi liked to hear this and smiled and asked him to come again next time.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Hu Chuang didn't stay long. He said goodbye to them and left.
Zhuangzhuang has never been separated from his brothers and sisters since he was a child. When he knew they were going to Beijing, his eyes turned red with tears.
Seeing their younger brother crying, the brother and sister couldn't help crying, and the three children hugged their heads and cried.
Ding Xiangzhi privately told her daughter: "These three children have a good relationship and don't want to be separated."
"Mom, why don't you and your elder brother and sister-in-law go to the capital together?"
Ding Xiangzhi thought about it and refused. They had nowhere to stay in Beijing, and they would inevitably bother their in-laws, which would not be good for their daughter.
The ideas of the older generation have a negative impact on my daughter.
Lin Jingshu took her hand and said, "This time we go back and plan to buy a house."
"Why are you buying another house, my daughter? I know you make a lot of money, but the children are getting older and older, and they will inevitably spend money in the future. You have to save some money."
"Don't worry, Mom. Buying a house is not an impulsive idea. Chengze and I have already thought about it."
