After the family left, Su He saw that Yuan Yuan was still quite energetic after eating, so she put him on the kang (a heated brick bed) to play with her eldest niece, Yu Ya, and then tidied up the house inside and out.
After we finished cleaning up, the sun was already high in the sky, and when I checked the time, it was almost 10 o'clock. I figured everyone must be tired after working all morning.
So he quickly took out two small hats and put them on the two little ones, then took out baby carriers and carried them on his back, one in front and one behind. He then filled a water bottle with brown sugar water, and then, carrying the water bottle and the children on his back, he walked towards the field.
Before you even reach the field, you can see from afar that it's bustling with activity and people.
Seeing this, Su He quickened her pace and walked a few steps. As soon as she got there, someone saw her and greeted her warmly.
"Why did Heya come here, and with a child?"
Su He smiled at her and explained, "Come and bring some water to my grandma and the others."
"Oh, you're such a good girl, so thoughtful. You haven't come back much since you got married, your family must be missing you, right?"
Su He nodded, "Yes, I miss them too. I originally wanted to come back to see them during my break and help with some chores at home, but my grandma wouldn't let me. She insisted that I stay home and take care of the children."
The man laughed when he heard this, "Oh, your grandma is just looking out for you. Now your family has three city dwellers, why would you need so many work points? Look at your child, so fair and tender, unlike the children in the countryside, you can't let him get sunburned!"
Su He smiled but didn't say anything after hearing this. It seemed that the villagers had a completely different opinion of her now.
You should know that during the busy farming season, all the wives in the village have to go to work, no matter how old their children are, and many even carry their children on their backs while working.
Aunt Su He went there without her little cousin on her back. Of course, before leaving, she asked her to leave the child behind. After all, she could take care of two or three children, and besides, her little cousin was older than Yuan Yuan and the others, so she should be easy to take care of.
But her third aunt didn't agree, and Su He could roughly guess why.
The village takes good care of wives who work with children, assigning them relatively easy tasks; she probably wanted to slack off a bit.
However, now that Su He has become a city dweller, the villagers no longer treat her with the same respect.
...
Su He didn't talk much; after exchanging a few words with them, she quickly headed towards the Su family.
As I approached, I saw Lin Jingyan bending over, cutting corn stalks one by one.
Su He was quite surprised by his skillful movements; apart from being a bit slow, she really couldn't tell that it was his first time doing it.
Weiwei felt a little relieved, and then called out to the Su family, "Grandpa and Grandma, you all should rest for a while and come over for some water."
The Su family members all looked over when they heard her voice. Old Man Su waved his hand at her, lowered his head and continued cutting. The eldest uncle and the others did the same, saying "Hey" to indicate that they had heard, but their hands did not stop.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su put down her sickle and walked towards her.
Lin Jingyan straightened up and looked over after hearing her voice.
Su He immediately felt sorry for him when she saw that he was covered in sweat, and quickly called out, "Come and have some water and rest for a bit."
Seeing this, Lin Jingyan also came over with a sickle.
When Grandma Su came over, she saw her two great-grandchildren and started playing with them.
"Oh my darlings, is this your first time harvesting corn? Isn't it fun?"
Yuan Yuan made two "ah ah" sounds, her big eyes excitedly looking at the people in the field, while Yu Ya also stared at them with wide eyes, full of curiosity.
