Yunxia Production
Hu Yufeng reflected for a moment, then cheered up and said, "That's it, let's pay more attention to the candidates, they must have good character, good hygiene, hardworking... What other conditions are there, Xiu'er?"
Yang Xiu was asked the question out of the blue. She thought for a while and said, "Or maybe she likes to gossip..." She was fed up with the troublemakers. Having Xiaoqin at home was enough, and she must not bring in another one.
"Yes, yes, being honest and doing your duty is the most important thing. If you find something suitable, you should keep an eye out for it. We can discuss it together when you come back..." Hu Yufeng added.
"Okay..." The two agreed, talked for a while, and then went back to their rooms.
"What happened to you and mom at the market today?" Qin Wenli quickly pushed his wife and asked after the children fell asleep.
"Nothing much, except for the customers, there is Uncle Zheng who gave me honey during the Chinese New Year and gave me the leftover fried dough twists. There is no one else..." Yang Xiu felt sleepy and fell asleep while talking in a daze.
Uncle Zheng? Qin Wenli turned the recent events over in his mind. This was not a reason for his mother to work hard... Forget it, forget it, go to sleep! ! !

Liu Yunxia gave birth just after the Dragon Boat Festival. Thanks to their listening to Yang Xiu's advice, Xu Runling and Dali sent the baby to the hospital before the birth. An ultrasound revealed that the baby's navel was wrapped around the neck two and a half times. Liu Yunxia insisted on giving birth herself. Fortunately, the baby was born safely and the adults were fine, but her family was scared.
Yang Xiu was a little scared when she heard the news, so she said something to Hu Yufeng and prepared to go to her mother's house.
It is said that people feel refreshed when they are happy. This is Yang Li’s first child and also Xu Runling and his wife’s first grandchild. The whole family is filled with joy.
Yang Li lifted Qin Yu up and said with a smile: "Hehe, I don't have to envy you, brother-in-law, now I have a little girl too..."
Qin Wenli's brother-in-law Luo Qi's eyes followed Qin Yu up and down, and he couldn't help but sigh: "What fate do you all have? I'm the only one who needs a daughter!"
Yang Li smiled proudly at his brother-in-law: "You may be envious, but there is nothing I can do about it. You are not going to have children!"
Luo Qi was speechless. It's so great that you have a daughter!

Yang Xiu sat with her grandmother for a while, then went into the house to see her Yunxia and little niece.
In the room, her younger sister Yang Huihui was also there. Seeing her come in, she greeted her warmly: "Hey, isn't this my busy sister? Are you free to come here today?"
Yang Xiu rolled her eyes at her, then smiled and looked at Liu Yunxia on the kang and said, "Yunxia, how are you?"
Liu Yunxia also smiled and replied: "Very good sister, please sit on the kang."
"I was just talking about her. How bold she is! The doctor said she should have a caesarean section, but she insisted on giving birth!" Yang Hui looked at Liu Yunxia disapprovingly.
Liu Yunxia was a little embarrassed: "I heard that they would cut the baby out of the belly, and I was scared to death. I've heard people say that if the belly is cut open, the person's essence will escape, and even if the person gets better, he will not be healthy. So I gritted my teeth and said I'd better give birth to the baby!"
Seeing that her sister was about to retort, Yang Xiu quickly replied, "Okay, okay, it's all over. It's better for you and your daughter to be safe and sound than anything else."
He winked at his sister again and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you saying so much after giving birth to a child?" People who know you say that you are outspoken, while people who don’t know you think you have a problem with your brother’s wife.
Yang Hui sensed her sister's expression and shut up in dismay.
Yang Xiu then looked around and found that the room was not tightly sealed. No wonder he didn't feel stuffy when he came in. She nodded secretly, her mother was always reliable. Seeing that Yunxia's face was rosy and there was no strange smell in the room, I knew that she was doing well in her confinement.
She sat down on the kang and looked at her little niece in bed, who looked so well-behaved. People are really strange. She had just met Xiaoqin's son a month ago, and she didn't have this kind of thriving love at all. But now she can't get enough of looking at this little girl. Blood relationship is really strange!
Yang Hui did the same. She came closer to touch the little hand, poked the little face, and looked at it curiously. After a while, she said sadly: "Ah, you two are so lucky. I'm going crazy for a daughter..."
Yang Hui has two sons, one five years old and the other three years old, who are at the age when they love to make noises. Yang Hui looked at the quiet little girl with such envy that she almost drooled.
"Then go ahead and give birth. It's not like you can't!" Yang Xiu glanced at her and advised her seriously.
Yang Hui rolled her eyes. "If we don't give birth, what if it's still a son? I would say that the Luo family is destined to have no daughters. My eldest brother has three sons, my second brother has two sons, and my mother-in-law asked someone to check the fourth child's belly, and she said it's still a son..."
"What is destined to happen will happen eventually, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced. Think positively, this also shows that the Luo family is prosperous!!!"
Yang Hui spread her hands: "What else... Alas, why is it so difficult to have both a son and a daughter? My mother-in-law is hoping for a granddaughter, and Huizi's mother-in-law is hoping for a grandson. I think they are almost going crazy with longing."
Suddenly hearing Yang Hui mention Huizi, Yang Xiu couldn't help but ask a few questions:
"How's Keiko?"
"It's still the same. Her mother-in-law told everyone that she was sick. I think it's because she didn't make up for the loss she suffered from giving birth to a child, and her mother-in-law didn't feed her well, so she got into this state..."
Yunxia was also hearing the inside story for the first time and was surprised: "I have seen that aunt several times and she seemed to be very friendly, but why is she not feeding her daughter-in-law behind her back?"
Yang Hui raised her eyebrows: "You can't judge a person by his appearance, but by his heart. We are both lucky to have good mothers-in-law. But my eldest sister's mother-in-law used all kinds of tricks to torment my eldest sister at the beginning..."
Seeing his sister-in-law looking at him, Yang Xiu's face flushed and he glared at Yang Hui: "What happened so recently? My mother-in-law is fine now..."
"She is the evil mother-in-law, not you. Why do you always cover up for her..." Yang Hui muttered, then looked at her sister's expression and shut up.
…
After dinner, Yang Xiu called his mother aside and asked her to help keep an eye on Huizi's condition.
Xu Runling was a little surprised, so Yang Xiu told her her plan truthfully. Yang Xiu also understood Huizi. He was hardworking, responsible, and methodical in his words and deeds. It's only because there's no one in my natal family that my husband's family abuses me without any bottom line. After her mother-in-law mentioned finding someone to help, the first person that came to Yang Xiu's mind was Huizi. She would go and contact her as soon as she finished the summer harvest.
Xu Runling agreed readily. To be honest, she also looked down on Huizi's mother-in-law's behavior, and Huizi's husband was a complete coward who always blamed his mother for everything. But after all, it's not right to interfere in other people's family affairs. It would be a good thing for Huizi if she could go out to work.
"Hey, Xiu'er, your little Qin is one month old, right? If you go, can you please bring the gift money to our family?" Seeing her daughter was about to leave, Xu Runling remembered something and hurriedly grabbed her.
"Full moon? Calculating the date, it should be the day before yesterday, but his family doesn't hold it. As you know, Yang Xu is a public official..." Yang Xiu glanced around and lowered his voice.
Xu Runling nodded: "Forget it then, how about I move to you guys in the next 40 days?"
Yang Xiu shook his head. He really didn’t know. It’s okay to come, but it’s better not to come. But the family has been very busy lately, and it is a question of who will serve him when he comes.
After saying goodbye to her mother's family, the family of four hurried back home. There is no way, the summer harvest is about to begin and we can’t wait even a moment! ! !

The sun was scorching, and the flames were licking the earth with bared fangs and claws, bringing suffocating heat. Everywhere you look, you see golden wheat seedlings rustling in the summer breeze, and graceful wheat stalks holding their heads high and showing off their ripe fruits to people.
Qin Shengtian wore a straw hat. He rubbed a wheat ear in his hands, blew away the light wheat husks, picked up a wheat grain and put it into his mouth, chewing it with a popping sound. He waved his hand and said: Start sickling!
Qin Wenli and Yang Xiu were the first team, Hu Yufeng and Qin Shengtian were the second team. The four of them waved sickles, and the wheat fell down.
Behind them were Qin Yu and Qin Shu from the third echelon. The two kids were picking up the missed ears of wheat, each with a small frame, as if they were playing a treasure hunt game.
Looking across the entire village, this is the configuration in every wheat field. Sweat kept dripping from their scorched black and red faces. The heat waves in the wheat fields could not stop their enthusiasm for harvesting the crops.
After five days of harvesting, all the wheat in Lao Qin's family was finally harvested and brought home. The wheat was bundled and stacked. The family couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief and collapsed on the stools, not wanting to move.
Qin Yu and her brother's originally fair faces were tanned to a wheat color, and their hands and feet were pierced by needle-like wheat awns and sharp wheat stubble. Only now did they have time to complain to their parents. Qin Wenli grabbed his daughter's little hand and looked at it over and over again, kissing and blowing it. Seeing this, Yang Xiu couldn't help but say:
"How old are you? Why are you still nestling in your father's arms?"
"Your mother thinks you don't nestle in her arms. Go, let your mother blow on you and the pain will go away..." Qin Wenli poked his daughter.
Qin Yu really obediently "hummed and moaned" looking for her mother, so Yang Xiu had no choice but to hug her good daughter and continue blowing.
The moon was high in the sky, and the branches of the crabapple tree swayed in the breeze, becoming ferocious in the moonlight. Qin Shu couldn't help but stretch out his foot and step on them again and again. Qin Yu watched and laughed.
The whole family laughed. Qin Shu stood innocently under the tree and couldn't help laughing.
"Mom, should we change jobs this year?" Yang Xiu asked her mother-in-law.
"Work exchange" is a form of mutual assistance and cooperation formed among farmers in Xiaogou Village. At this time of year in previous years, after harvesting their own crops, Qin Wenli and Yang Xiu would go out to help the villagers harvest, and when they were threshing the wheat, the villagers would come to help again. This complicated and hard work lasted almost a month, and by the end of the summer harvest, both of them were almost exhausted.
This method was the most efficient, convenient and cheapest way of harvesting in the 1990s when the degree of mechanization was not high.
Hu Yufeng was also thinking. If things change, the two stalls will have to continue to close. If there is no worker, what will we do when there is no one to grind wheat at home? She not only set her sights on Qin Shengtian.
Qin Shengtian, who was smoking, shuddered, held his waist and groaned "Ouch, ouch" in an exaggerated manner.
Qin Wenli wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he had to straighten his face and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"I think my waist was twisted when I was harvesting wheat. Why does it hurt so much? Ouch, Wenli, help me lie down inside..."
Qin Wenli stood up and helped his father up. Qin Shengtian leaned most of his body on his son. He could not even walk properly and kept groaning.
Hu Yufeng frowned and said unhappily, "Alright, I didn't ask you to find a job, but look at your cowardly look, are you pretending to be so pretentious for anyone to see? If you dare to yell at me again, I'll have to find a job right away!!!"
Qin Shengtian immediately shut up and stood up straight. He waved at Qin Wenli as if nothing had happened, then climbed onto the kang and lay down.
Qin Wenli clenched his fist and coughed, suppressing the smile that was rising in his throat, and quickly turned around and walked out.
