Chapter 20 Guagua Guagua Some people are not born to be loved. ...
The next day.
Xiang Yao, as usual, followed everyone to the threshing ground to gather.
She didn't want to stand with the Xiang family, so she found a corner with few people and stood there.
This time she subconsciously looked around in the crowd, and sure enough, she saw Brother Chuan, who stood out from the crowd.
"Hey, what did I look like before?" Xiang Yao muttered. "Such a handsome guy is on our team, and I didn't even notice him."
But on second thought, since they can afford to ride bicycles and can give money to Brother Hai and his group, it is possible that they don't earn work points according to the rules.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yao no longer felt that he was blind.
She said that she had a pair of sharp eyes that could quickly spot handsome men and beautiful women. If this tall and handsome guy stood in the threshing ground every day, how could she not see him?
I was staring at someone, and the other person, perhaps noticing my gaze, suddenly looked over at me.
The two gazes collided in mid-air. Xiang Yao thought of what happened yesterday, raised his lips and smiled generously.
"Yaoyao, what are you looking at? You look so intently." Yang Xiaohong squeezed over, followed her gaze, and asked curiously.
Xiang Yao came back to her senses, lowered her eyelashes, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, auntie."
Yang Xiaohong nodded. It was just a casual question and she didn't care.
She came over to talk about what happened yesterday: "Yesterday afternoon, your Aunt Yue and I finished your task together. It wasn't much. You worked for half a day, and we finished the remaining few acres in no time!"
Xiang Yao's eyes sparkled with sincerity. "Thank you, aunts! You've worked so hard."
Yang Xiaohong was embarrassed. "Well, it's nothing. We've received some benefits from your boss. Oh, and yesterday I discussed it with your Aunt Yue. We felt it was really embarrassing to take so many peanuts from you. The double harvest season is still a few days away. If you can't finish the work during this period, we'll both help you! Don't refuse, we're happy to do it!"
She and He Yuezhi had agreed on this yesterday. It was a bit awkward to take so many peanuts from the little girl after helping her for half a day.
How could this be possible? It made them feel a little guilty.
After discussing for a long time, we finally decided that we should put in more effort so that they would feel at ease.
Xiang Yao also knew that these two aunts were sincere people, so she did not refuse and smiled sweetly: "Okay, then I will trouble you two aunts to help me!"
She really didn't like to work that much. Anyway, she had peanuts and some other fruits and vegetables in the melon field. If her two aunts were nice to her, she would reciprocate and not let them suffer any loss.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yao felt at ease.
Seeing her generous attitude and no shyness at all, Yang Xiaohong was also happy: "Okay, okay, what's the trouble? We have been working the land for decades and are much more capable than a green hand like you. Don't worry, we will definitely make you work early every day!"
Xiang Yao looked around, leaned close to Yang Xiaohong's ear, and whispered, "But there's one thing I want to tell you, aunts. Don't tell anyone else about this peanut thing."
Yang Xiaohong nodded. She knew that this girl also had a plan in mind. She definitely hadn't told the Xiang family about the peanut matter. She immediately said, "Don't worry, I told your Aunt Yue yesterday that we'll get the benefits and make a fortune quietly."
Xiang Yao smiled: "That's right, Auntie and I think the same."
The two looked at each other mysteriously and smiled.
Not far away, Zhou Aihua, his daughter-in-law Ye Fang, and Liu Xiaolan stood together. From time to time, three pairs of eyes looked over the crowd and towards Xiang Yao.
Liu Xiaolan muttered quietly, "This girl has completely alienated us now. She doesn't want to be close to her aunt and aunt, but wants to be close to Yang Xiaohong, a cunning outsider. I don't know what she is thinking."
She was smiling so happily, it was dazzling.
Zhou Aihua's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "She might still be resentful that we didn't help Qiao Yun when she was called home."
What she said was true.
When Liu Qiaoyun was kicked out of the house by Zhang Juhua, only Xiang Gensheng spoke up for her, but it was of no use.
Xiang Yao wiped her tears and looked at the elders with pleading eyes, but they all avoided her gaze and had no intention of opposing Zhang Juhua.
Some people even had some different ideas in their minds.
Zhou Aihua still remembers that after Liu Qiaoyun left, although Xiang Yao always smiled and talked to them when he needed to, there was not much genuine smile in his eyes.
Liu Xiaolan snorted coldly, "What does this have to do with us? Why would she hold a grudge against us? If she has the guts, go hold a grudge against her mother."
They didn't drive the people out. If Zhang Juhua wanted to drive them away, would they really dare to go up and get scolded?
She thought to herself that the little girl would be driven away to her grandmother's house by Zhang Juhua sooner or later. Or, she could try to find out if she could get her married off sooner.
When she gets married, the house will be her Xiuxiu and Liangliang's turn to use. Humph, a grown-up girl taking up such a big room and living with her younger sister without even asking to make room is really shameless!
Zhou Aihua lowered her eyes and said nothing. Instead, Ye Fang sneered in a cold voice, "Do you think she doesn't hold a grudge against you? You've been making a lot of noise these past few days."
If he didn't hold a grudge, he wouldn't have been against Zhang Juhua these days.
This little girl, although she used to be quiet and would just shed tears when scolded, now she probably has figured it out, her mouth is as sharp as a knife.
She has been married for several years, but this is the first time she has seen Zhang Juhua being humiliated like this. I have to say, it feels pretty good.
As long as she is not asked to take the lead, she would be happy to see anyone take the lead to fight Zhang Juhua.
Anyway, someone is charging ahead, so what does it have to do with her?
Ye Fang had a blank expression on her face, but a hint of depth flashed in her eyes.
What's more, she and Xiang Jun have been married for several years, and they still live in the same room with their parents-in-law, with only a partition in the middle. The room Xiang Yao lives in is much bigger.
Having offended Zhang Juhua, Xiang Yao would be moved out sooner or later. By then...
The three of them looked at Xiang Yao who was still chatting and laughing with outsiders, each with his own thoughts, and for a moment, they were silent.
This is because Zhang Juhua is not here. If Zhang Juhua were here, she would probably scold Xiang Yao harshly in front of the entire Xiangjiawan Production Team.
Of course, Xiang Yao had no idea that her family was secretly watching her at this moment. She felt very comfortable getting along with Yang Xiaohong.
And since the other person said that he would help her a little in the future, of course she should have a good relationship with him.
As for the Xiang family, huh, she had been here for so many days, but no one had cared about her. They were worse than outsiders.
Facing the pale sky in the east, the threshing ground was bustling with people.
If you look closely, you can occasionally see clear boundaries between people who are familiar with each other standing together.
After the captain assigned the tasks, Xiang Yao continued to plant rice seedlings today.
As the crowd walked towards their respective destinations, looking at the fields and lands waiting for farmers to till the fields in the morning light, Xiang Yao couldn't figure out how she had come up with the idea last night that it would be great to travel to this era.
It’s hard and tiring, and my waist and legs hurt.
They had to get up before dawn, eat a bowl of rice in a hurry and then go to the fields. If they were a little slow, they would be criticized by the team leader in front of all the members of the production team.
I had to bend over with my face to the earth and my back to the sky for the whole morning. Every time I straightened up, the rusty joints would creak and make me grimace in pain.
I can rest for a short while at noon, but with the chirping of cicadas and insects, I can never get a good sleep. I wake up from a short nap in a daze, and in the afternoon I have to work for a longer time under more sunlight.
At the end of the day, she had no energy to do anything. She touched her old waist, feeling tired, hungry and dirty. She just wanted to lie in bed until the end of the day.
Oh my God!
She misses the 21st century with advanced technology and air conditioning!
Come on, there’s no point in thinking so much!
Xiang Yao shook his head, put on his straw hat, hung the towel in his hand around his neck, and forced himself to cheer up.
She is a hard-working farmer!
Without saying anything, roll up your sleeves and get to work!
Go! !
The members who were chatting and laughing saw the young girl not far away suddenly grit her teeth and clench her fists, muttering something in her mouth. Then they saw her pace suddenly quicken and rush forward quickly. They couldn't help but mutter to themselves:
This girl, could it be that she has been possessed by an evil spirit...
The possessed Xiang Yao, relying on this forced motivation, went down to the field and started working.
Now most of the aunts and daughters have been assigned to the groups responsible for pulling out rice seedlings, planting rice seedlings and drying rice, and there is not much rice left to be harvested.
The men were busy plowing the fields, which was a strenuous job that required a lot of manpower.
Because Xiangjiawan only has one cow, which was bought from Xiang Liangsheng's team last year at a high price, everyone takes good care of it and is reluctant to let it work too hard.
Xiang Yao was so immersed in his work that for a moment, he forgot about the important task of eating melons.
But she didn't expect that the melon would come to her without her even thinking about it.
Xiang Yao's mission field is next to a dirt road, and across the road is a bare low hill.
The hill is less than ten meters high, with a gentle slope and a smooth dirt slide in the middle.
The kids in the team slid down from the top day after day, and the dirt slide was polished smooth by their butts.
At this moment, the sun was halfway up in the sky, and the slide was still emitting a faint light, which attracted the children to climb up from the edge and slide down again without getting tired of it.
Almost every day, Xiang Yao could hear the women in the team holding their children by the scruff of the neck and complaining that their clothes and pants were covered in mud and were very difficult to wash. Perhaps part of the reason was because of this slippery thing.
A group of kids playing on a slide is certainly not a joke.
But an old man grabbing a kid who just came down from a slide and yelling at him is a joke.
"If you say it's not you, then it's not you? I've seen you walking back and forth in the front yard of my house for a long time. If you didn't have this idea, what were you doing behind my house?"
"No one in your family is a good person. Your father is a coward, and you are not a good person either!"
"I'm telling you, hurry up and call your parents over here to compensate me!"
The old man was a little hunchbacked, with a bent waist. He grabbed a child who was about eight or nine years old and cursed at him in a rough voice.
Xiang Yao had just started tilling his plot of land and was less than three meters away from the slope. He heard some noise and stood up to look over. He saw saliva splashing everywhere in the sun, sparkling brightly.
The skinny hand like a chicken claw was tightly holding the child's arm. The face was ferocious and the eyes were sharp. It looked a bit scary, as if it was oneself who was being grabbed.
Xiang Yao looked at the child again, but there was no fear on the child's face. Of course, there was no other expression on the dirty little face. He was just being pulled in a daze, with half of his body almost pulled off the ground, and he didn't say a word.
Just as I was about to intervene, telling him that no matter what the matter was, holding his arm like that for too long could easily lead to dislocation and injury, someone else spoke up.
"Hey, old man Hu, what are you doing?"
"Yeah, if there's anything you can't just talk about, why are you grabbing a baby?"
"Ren Guoqiang is having fun here, why are you bullying him?"
There were many people planting rice, and the aunties, who really couldn't stand these rough men bullying children, stood up and talked in the field.
A strong country?
Xiang Yao's eyes turned, and he thought of the wild mandarin ducks chatting by the woods when he returned to Xiangjiawan yesterday.
The kid who was always beaten by his father seemed to be called Guoqiang.
There were many households in the Xiangjiawan Production Team, and she was a little girl who was oblivious to the world outside. She only knew a few of her neighbors. For those who lived farther away, she only recognized their faces but had no idea who was who.
Xiang Yao listened for a long time last night, but he felt that the woman's voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't match it with anyone in the team.
As for that man, he was not from Xiangjiawan. Judging from what he said, he should be from Team 4.
No wonder the kid had no expression on his face even when being pulled by the old man.
Maybe, because he was beaten too many times by his family, this little pain is nothing to him...
Xiang Yao looked at the kid named Guoqiang who was still wearing a spring and autumn layered long coat and trousers in the middle of summer, and he didn't seem to feel hot at all.
Even when her dignity was insulted in front of so many people, she still kept her lips tightly pursed. Her face was nothing but numbness, which made me feel distressed.
Some people are not born to be loved.
Putting aside his thoughts, Xiang Yao focused on what was in front of him.
The aunts were talking at once, which made Old Man Hu even angrier.
