Everyone's troubles
The end of August in the lunar calendar is the last harvest of autumn crops. The fields and farmlands in Xiaogou Village are filled with busy figures.
The Qin family also took advantage of this opportunity to harvest corn.
The rain this year was just right. The Qin family’s corn grows exceptionally strong. With a series of "click, click" sounds, Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli, the first team collecting corn, threw the corn cobs with husks into the bags in an orderly manner.
Qin Shengtian from the second echelon waved his sickle, and the withered corn stalks fell down one by one.
In the afternoon, the corn was brought home in carts and dumped in the yard.
Yang Xiu and the old lady formed the third team: peeling corn.
Just peel off the dry and hard outer skin, leaving only the inner three or four pieces. Then they tie two corns together into a pair and hang the pairs of corn on a wooden rack to dry.
In less than three days, the corns on the wooden racks outside Lao Qin's yard were shining brightly golden under the sunlight, which made people feel happy and hopeful.
Corn cobs are put on the beams, corn stalks are put into storage, and corn roots are dug out, the soil is knocked off, and they are dried and used to heat the kang.
After corn had made contributions to the Qin family from beginning to end, the days could finally be free.

Once they had some free time, they realized that Yang Xiu's fall had almost brought the family to a standstill.
First of all, the food tasted unsatisfactory. There's nothing we can do. It's good enough that Hu Yufeng can cook it well. How can it not taste good? If you can do it, then you can do it...
Hu Yufeng, the only capable old lady in the Qin family, thinks she is not good enough.
They all had pale faces after eating and could only complain secretly, because it was their fault.
It's strange. The food tasted like this when Yang Xiu didn't come home. Why can't I eat it now?
After some reflection, everyone decided that it was all the fault of the robber, damn him! ! !
…
Then there is business. Yang Xiu needs to rest his feet, so doesn’t the fried dough twist stall, which relies on Yang Xiu as its main staff, also need to rest?
For half a month, that’s about a hundred yuan.
Not to mention Yang Xiu and Hu Yufeng, even Qin Shengtian was heartbroken. His dividend was cut in half, and his snacks didn't taste as good as before.
We don’t eat well, we don’t make any money, and the atmosphere at home is low. The only happy ones are Qin Yu and Qin Shu. It’s so great that mom can be at home every day! ! !
The child’s happiness lasted only three days before he began to think that it was actually quite good without his mother at home.
Yang Xiu is a person who can't sit still. Originally, she thought she had just sprained her ankle and it would not affect her performance at all. Unexpectedly, just after she finished harvesting the corn, obstacles popped up at home and she was forced to take a rest.
When I have some free time, I notice that something is wrong here and there. He ordered Qin Shu and Qin Yu around, asking them to clean up corners, wash old clothes, and even started to teach Qin Yu how to make shoes.
Qin Yu and Qin Shu's faces were wrinkled: "Go and set up the stall quickly, Mom! Really, they are not three-year-old children anymore, they can leave Mom now!" ! !
When a child has bad luck, the adults feel happy and suddenly feel that life can go on again.
It’s just that the food is bad. The Wang family still eats black steamed buns every day. Look at our big white steamed buns, they are bright and white, they are pretty good!
It’s just a hundred dollars less. The Wang family can't even make a hundred yuan in half a year. Look at us, we still have income every month, that's pretty good!
The whole family perked up and began to strictly supervise Yang Xiu.
After this incident, everyone realized that the family could not do without Yang Xiu. She is a technical backbone and a technical expert, so she must take good care of her feet.
Yang Xiuyi was under strict supervision, and the world was achieved with only two children injured.
Ah~~Mom, please get better soon. The two children prayed in their hearts.

Some children are bothered by their mother's strictness, while some children are bothered by everyone wanting to be their mother.
Qin Ling has been really upset lately.
Aunt Caifang combed her hair in front, Aunt Xiaohua washed her face in the back, and even her aunt who used to ignore her started washing her clothes.
She carefully counted and found that on the most outrageous day, she washed her face three times and combed her hair four times.
Really, if she continues like this, even if her head isn't bald, her face will become bald! ! !
Every time at this time, she missed the mother who never washed her face or combed her hair.
She didn't understand these people. How could an unpopular little girl like her decide who would be her mother?
It’s wrong to flatter everyone. No wonder no one can become her mother, the little girl complained secretly.
Chen Xiulian has also been feeling annoyed recently.
She thought Wenqing would have no problem finding a wife, but she didn't expect that he would have so many wives.
He is asking for trouble. How many women has he provoked?
Recently, he has been going out early and coming back late like a thief, leaving her alone at home to face these demons.
She didn't dare to get angry or curse, for she was afraid that someone would go out and sue Wen Qing □□. When had she ever felt so aggrieved? ! !
Every time this happened, she would start to miss Wenqing's only legitimate wife, Xueqin.
It would be great if Xueqin was still here. If anyone dared to come to her house, Xueqin would beat her into a pig's brain.
Alas, if it weren’t for this intolerant child, the family would have been a happy one!
Xueqin, who was missed by the two men, sneezed several times and was also very annoyed.
In the first few days after she returned to her parents' home, her parents hoped that someone from the Qin family would come, admit their mistake, and take her back.
Later, she just hoped that someone from the Qin family would come and take her back.
Later, it’s okay for the Wang family to admit their mistakes and take the child back!
Unfortunately, even Qin Wenzhen, the most reasonable and face-conscious member of the Qin family, could avoid them when they ran into them.
Now, her parents see that there is no hope for the Qin family, so they are arranging a marriage for her.
In other words, she and Qin Wenqing haven't divorced yet, so why are they in such a hurry! ! !
My parents are anxious, and my sister-in-law is even more anxious. It is said that she goes to Qin's house to act as a bootlicker every now and then, and my brother from my mother's side goes to my sister-in-law's family's house to make trouble every few days.
As an insider, she became the one with the least time, like a nanny taking care of four children at home every day, which was really annoying...
*
The more troubled the neighbors were, the happier Hu Yufeng was. There's no way, who would change the daughter-in-law every day to play the role of virtuous mother-in-law and filial daughter-in-law? It was kind of her not to laugh out loud in front of him.
Not to mention, after Yang Xiu fell, she even had time to enjoy herself.
Not only did she watch it herself, she also shared it with Yang Xiu when she got home, and the two of them discussed the chances of these seeded players advancing. Hey, even the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been improved.
Chen Xiulian didn't know that she had also made a contribution to her arch-enemy's family.
Next door, Hu Yufeng and her husband and son have harvested all the corn, but Wen Qing's four acres of corn are still waiting in the field.
Wenqing was nowhere to be seen, and Wenzheng was only concerned about his own family. It would take the old couple forever to make ends meet.
Chen Xiulian was so anxious that bubbles appeared on the corners of her mouth...
The yard was quiet at night. Uncle Qin was snoring loudly in the house, which made Chen Xiulian more and more irritated.
He wanted to curse, but when the words came to his lips he remembered that the old man was working alone in the field, so he turned the words around in his mouth before swallowing them. Alas, the harvest still depends on him, so don’t irritate him! ! !
With a creaky sound, the gate was pushed open and a figure tiptoed in.
Seeing him close the door, Chen Xiulian, who was hiding in the darkness, suddenly stood up and said, "Wenqing, you're back?"
Qin Wenqing paused for a moment, then calmed his frightened heart and said, "Mom, why are you not sleeping so late at night? You don't even turn on a light in the yard. Who are you trying to scare to death..."
"I'm waiting for you. You go out early and come back late. I can hardly catch you at night. Come here. I have something to ask you."
"We can't talk about this tomorrow. I'm tired after a long day and want to rest."
"Will I see you tomorrow? Why did you get so tired all day? I didn't see you harvesting or picking crops in the fields. How could you get so tired?" Chen Xiulian said unhappily.
"I'll be frank with you. Are you and Xueqin going to get a divorce or not? If you want to get a divorce, do it now. If not, call your eldest brother tomorrow to go and pick Xueqin up. There are always some troubles at home. Do you know what the rumors on the team are saying? If you want to live a decent life, settle down quickly and cut off all the other things. If you continue like this, something bad will happen."
Chen Xiulian was really scared. The married wife of Wang Hong and the widow Xiaohua could not cause any trouble. As for the girl from the Deng family, I don’t know if she and Wen Qing are just attracted to each other or if there is really something going on. It’s not easy to ask. She has to be on her guard every day when dealing with others.
When talking to Qin Wenqing at this time, his tone inevitably sounded a bit anxious.
Qin Wenqing still looked nonchalant: "Divorce? If not, what are you waiting for? Don't worry about the rest..."
"I don't want to care? If you don't want me to care, then don't let anyone come to the house. Do you think I like to care? I would rather not see it..." Chen Xiu Lian said angrily.
"I won't come. I'll tell you tomorrow..."
"What's the point of talking? You should order one right away..." Seeing Qin Wenqing getting more and more impatient, Chen Xiulian also became discouraged:
"Forget it. I don't care about your business anymore. But the corn on your four acres of land has turned yellow. Harvest it while the weather is good. Don't run around these two days. Give me a hand. How long will it take for your father to harvest it all by himself?"
No matter how bad the farmers are, they would not dare to make mistakes with the food. This time, Qin Wenqing agreed readily.
Seeing him enter the room, Chen Xiulian turned around and sat down on the recliner, full of thoughts.
The next day was a sunny day.
Chen Xiulian didn't sleep well the previous night. Her eyes were red. She was rubbing her forehead with one hand and holding food with the other.
I ran into Da Wu Niang from the team and smiled from a distance:
"Hey, what are you doing here, sister-in-law?"
"Wenqing and his father went to the fields early in the morning. I will make some food and send it to his grandfather..." Chen Xiulian said with a smile.
Da Wu's mother smiled strangely when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you didn't send enough. I just came from your field and heard that there were quite a few people in the field... Oh, sister-in-law, you are so lucky!"
Chen Xiulian's heart sank, she gave a dry laugh and ran away.
Da Wu Niang looked at her hurriedly leaving figure and curled her lips:
The family is so crooked at the top and the bottom, it's really funny.
Chen Xiulian hurried to the field and heard laughter from a distance.
That voice sounded so familiar, Deng Caifang...
Just then an old woman came out carrying a bag of corn. When she saw her, she shouted, "Oh, my mother-in-law is here..."
Chen Xiulian quickly looked around, then her face turned gloomy and she said nothing: Who are you calling mother-in-law? What kind of mother-in-law is that!
