Chapter 12: Guaguaguagua Aunt Zhang’s tongue is just like that sharp...
Yuan Xifeng smiled innocently: "What's the point of re-education? I can't learn anything because I don't study much, but you are a girl, so you should do less!"
Sun Qiao lowered her eyelashes slightly and smiled shyly: "Comrade Xifeng, I can do it. Although I do feel a little uncomfortable and dizzy, I firmly believe that as long as I persist and work hard, I will be able to overcome the difficulties!"
I looked at Xiang Yao secretly. Well, his body was shaky, but his expression was tough and determined.
How should I put it? It's like a white lotus swaying in the wind, isolated from the world.
Seeing Sun Qiao like this, Yuan Xifeng felt his heart soften again. How could he let such a delicate girl do the work? Is he, Yuan Xifeng, a real man?
"If you're not feeling well, go sit under the shade of the tree. I can plant this little patch of land in no time. It's effortless! Go quickly, don't get burned. This damn sun is scorching!"
Sun Qiao's eyes were filled with gratitude. She hesitated for a moment, pinching the corner of her clothes, and finally said, "Comrade Xifeng, thank you for your hard work."
Yuan Xifeng wiped the sweat off his face and raised his head proudly: "It's not hard! Not tiring at all! Don't worry, I'll do all your tasks for you! I guarantee it will be beautiful! Just sit over there in the shade of the tree and have a good rest, don't worry!"
After Sun Qiao left, Yuan Xifeng looked at her back and chuckled twice. He felt like the hero in the comic book who bravely saved the beauty.
The sweet and gentle voice was like a stream of cool water pouring over his head, filling him with energy. He buried his head, bent over and worked hard to plant the rice seedlings.
Xiang Yao clicked his tongue twice and couldn't help but sigh. No matter how lazy a man is, he will change his appearance in front of his beloved girl.
Look at this guy Yuan Xifeng. He usually doesn’t add the salt jar when it’s empty or pick up the oil bottle when it falls over. But now he is so diligent!
Looking at the thin layer of sparkling water in the fields in front of him, Xiang Yao couldn't help feeling a little sad.
She was so comfortable in the later life, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, how come she came to this era, with endless work to do and not enough food to eat?
Oh! Life is hard!
Just as Xiang Yao was still sighing over her miserable life, a sharp voice suddenly appeared and attracted her attention again.
Well, that was just the prelude, now the real fun begins!
He Yuezhi even exclaimed "Ouch, ouch!" twice, her tone filled with excitement: "Yuan Xifeng's mother is here! It's going to be lively now!"
Yuan Xifeng's widowed mother, Zhang Guizhi, was swinging her legs rapidly at this moment, with her facial features squeezed together, looking quite ferocious.
"Great! Great! I was wondering where you'd been slacking off again, you little bastard! Turns out you're not doing your own job, but are doing it for someone else! You idiot, you're like a sow being slaughtered, you're the one getting slaughtered!"
Speaking of Zhang Guizhi, she is a well-known fierce person.
She had a loud voice, like a cannon, and she cursed all day long. Her two daughters-in-law and three sons were all her targets. Every day, her cursing could be heard through the mountains and reach the Xiang family on the other side of the mountain.
Sometimes after work, Xiang Yao would take a detour to pass by the fork in the road not far from their home. The way this old lady scolded and sighed three times was really artistic and attractive.
When Zhang Guizhi grabbed Yuan Xifeng's ear and fired a cannon at his ear, Xiang Yao's men moved even slower.
Here it comes!
Aunt Zhang’s play is officially on stage!
"I think your face is as thick as the cowhide in the paddy field over there! Don't you see what kind of character you have? You spend all your energy on others all day long, and you haven't seen any benefits! What do you call this? It's like throwing meat buns at a dog. You're going to never come back!"
"What's up? You were helping someone fish out shoes from the pond a few days ago, and the water in your head still hasn't dried up? Do you want me to slap you a few more times to clear it up?"
"How could I have given birth to such a fool like you? You don't even realize that others are taking advantage of you. What are you waiting for when you come up to me with such eager eyes? Do you think others will look down on a toad like you? What's the situation in our family? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"
"Everyone's scrambling for time, but there are some people who are trying every possible means to avoid work. Not only do they not work themselves, but they also try to trick others into doing it! You have no hands! You have no legs! Only a blind person like you dares to come in and do the labor for others and earn work points!"
"You stupid ass! Lazy bastard! All you can do is grind the millstone with your bare bottom, and embarrass me by making circles around me!"
The old lady's scolding was just like the northwest wind in the cold winter, which was getting stronger and stronger.
Yuan Xifeng was grabbed and scolded by his mother. He grimaced in pain and his ears were red and swollen, but he didn't dare to say a word in reply.
How could he dare to say a word? If he uttered a word, his mother would scold him from head to toe!
Xiang Yao couldn't help but let out a long breath. How painful it must be! My ears are about to be pulled off...
She couldn't help but shudder. Aunt Zhang's tongue was like a sharpened knife. She couldn't be provoked, she couldn't be provoked...
He Yuezhi, who was standing by, slowly came over and winked, "Look at this, look at this! I was saying that Yuan Xifeng, this kid, doesn't take care of his own business and comes to curry favor with Sun Zhiqing. His parents are definitely going to make trouble."
Xiang Yao's eyes lit up. "Aunt Zhang is such a sharp talker! Even better than my grandma! I don't think anyone in the team can beat her in a scolding!"
He Yuezhi felt the same way: "Aunt Zhang's mouth is well-known throughout the surrounding area, but she's not a bad person. If anyone needs help, she's always the first to rush forward. There's no doubt about that."
As for Xiang Yao's grandmother Zhang Juhua, she is slightly inferior to her in terms of eloquence, and she is far inferior to Zhang Guizhi in terms of kindness.
Of course, in front of the other person's granddaughter, He Yuezhi still showed some mercy and didn't say it out loud.
Xiang Yao nodded, somewhat understanding.
Zhang Guizhi was widowed when she was young, and without the courage to be bold, she could not support three children.
Zhang Guizhi's son was also scolded, and Sun Qiao, who was resting under the shade of a tree over there, was also scolded in a roundabout way. It was a series of clattering and clanging sounds, like a radio broadcast.
Xiang Yao and He Yuezhi were not the only ones watching the fun. Everyone around them pricked up their ears and listened attentively!
Listening to such a hearty scolding on such a hot day was like watching a big drama. Everyone felt that their waist pain was gone, their hands were no longer tired, and all the fatigue in their bodies disappeared spontaneously.
Hey, this is called combining work and rest!
Xiang Yao looked at Sun Zhiqing who was lying under the shade of a tree. Since they were too far away, he couldn't tell if she was crying.
However, Zhang Guizhi had a loud voice, so she must have heard it. After a while, she raised her hands to cover her face and ran away.
He Yuezhi refused to take her eyes off Zhang Guizhi and her son. She took a quick glance and left a scathing comment: "Her running posture wasn't as pretty as before! She doesn't look sick at all."
Xiang Yao thought to himself, you don’t understand, some of their white lotus varieties are like this, Lin Daiyu on the surface, and Lu Zhishen in the soul, it’s a cute contrast.
"Look, look," He Yuezhi untied another bundle of rice seedlings, her eyes shining. "Zhang Guizhi has carried Yuan Xifeng back! Wow, she's so reckless! I've admired her for that all my life. She carried her own man the same way back then!"
Xiang Yao blinked his eyes, feeling even more awed by Zhang Guizhi's fighting ability.
Although Yuan Xifeng was thin, he was still quite tall. Despite his height, he still had to accommodate his mother by holding her ears, and had to bend his body and stagger forward. His posture was really pleasing to the eye.
Like an alternative catwalk...
For the entire morning, the members in the fields talked about Zhang Guizhi's family affairs with great relish.
As for Sun Zhiqing, he never appeared again after he ran away crying. He probably felt that face was more important than work points.
Xiang Yao knew that Yuan Xifeng's hospitality was in vain. After this incident, Sun Zhiqing would probably be afraid of him whenever he saw him.
Not to mention Sun Zhiqing, who among the families in the brigade was not afraid of being targeted by Zhang Guizhi?
Although being scolded won't cause any physical injuries, it will definitely be a severe blow to your heart.
But most people can understand. For example, He Yuezhi sighed and said, "In the early years, she was only a little fierce with her own husband. She was very kind to others. But now that her husband is dead, and she has so many children to raise, she has to be a little fierce."
Xiang Yao nodded, understanding. He couldn't help but think of Liu Qiaoyun again, wondering how she was doing at her parents' home.
Her two uncles had not separated from the family business, and her mother was sent back in such an undignified manner, so she must have had a hard time.
Well, we still have to think of a way.
As a child, her only responsibility was to Liu Qiaoyun. As for the other members of the Xiang family, just by looking at their attitudes towards her these days, either disgust or indifference, she couldn't feel any affection for them.
The momentary thought did not hinder his actions. Xiang Yao went from being unfamiliar to being proficient, and now he can remove the seedlings, separate the seedlings, and plant them with some ease.
The scorching sun gradually moved above everyone's heads. In the distance, someone was talking about something, but a burst of laughter came from them.
It made Xiang Yao feel itchy.
Normally, there would be some small news behind such laughter. Even if there was no news, there would be some clues about the news. Unfortunately, she still had many tasks to do and couldn't join in the fun.
"I don't know what they are talking about over there, they are laughing so happily!" He Yuezhi looked over there and expressed Xiang Yao's thoughts.
The two of them turned their heads and smiled at each other.
They both knew that the other person was just a fun-loving person, and there was an inexplicable sense of closeness between them.
Finally, the brigade's radio played the song for the end of work again. Xiang Yao still had half a bunch of seedlings in his hands and two bunches on his back. He hurriedly put his head down to work and finished quickly.
These seedlings will shake vigorously when planted in the paddy fields, but if they are left lying in the sun, they will wilt and be unable to stand up after one afternoon.
"Oh, you're still a little slow. Come on, Yao girl, pass me the rice seedlings behind you!"
He Yuezhi wiped the mud off her legs and was about to leave, but when she looked at Xiang Yao, she saw that he was moving hurriedly, but in her eyes he was still very slow.
Thinking that she still had a handful of peanuts in her pocket, she hurried to help.
Xiang Yao didn't hesitate at this moment. She directly picked up the rice seedling behind her and handed it to her, smiling: "Then I'll trouble you, auntie. You are such a kind person. Fortunately, you helped me, otherwise I would be left behind!"
She was pretty, had a beautiful smile and a sweet mouth. He Yuezhi's face immediately broke into a smile, and she felt that there was no other girl as good as Xiang Yao in the team.
I don’t know how Xiang Liangsheng and Liu Qiaoyun gave birth to this child. Why couldn’t she give birth to such a well-behaved child?
Thinking about the naughty monkeys in her family, He Yuezhi sighed that the gap between people is really huge.
After planting the last seedling in a few seconds, the two of them went up the ridge of the field and returned home.
