Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Wuuwuwu, my father and I are really starving to death...

It rained for a while, but today the sun came out. The sky after the rain was particularly blue, the clouds were as thin as gauze, and the sunlight was so bright that it was even dazzling.

The father and daughter, one carrying a hoe and the other carrying a bamboo basket, walked into the fields under the bright sunlight.

This family is really poor, and there are not many usable items in the house. Shen Shaoyuan wanted to find a hat for his daughter to block the sun, but in the end he only found half of a broken brim, so he could only use a strip of cloth as a rope to tie it on his head. Although it looks weird, it can at least block a little.

Shen Shaoyuan looked at his daughter from time to time, his heart was very complicated.

Being alive was a great blessing, but he didn't know how much suffering his daughter, who was as precious to him as a jewel, would have to endure in the future.

Shen Moer didn't feel anything, the scene in the dream was too scary, her heart was still pounding when she thought of it. Compared with a tragic death by the knife, being a little poor was nothing, not to mention that they still had a treasure house.

Compared to this, Shen Moer was more concerned about the differences between this world and Daliang. She recalled the original owner's memory in her heart, and quietly reminded Shen Shaoyuan to be careful in what he did and said, and then urged: "Dad, it's late, let's go faster."

Shen Shaoyuan was not in a hurry: "It's okay, there must be someone later than us."

Yangliu Village is now called Yangliu Brigade. There are a total of 12 production teams under the brigade, and their family belongs to the eighth production team.

The villagers of the brigade are now called members. The members listen to the brigade's arrangements to work and earn work points, and then share food according to the ratio of "six points for work and four points for work". In other words, the work points earned every day when going to work only account for 40% when it comes to distributing food, so the members' enthusiasm for work is not high.

Shen Shaoyuan remembered that when he went to the commune to collect grain, he heard a rhyme: If you don't buy the first whistle, you look up at the second whistle, and you walk slowly at the third whistle. If you forget to bring the hoe when you arrive at the field, you will go home for a walk... Don't say it, some members who are cunning and sly are really in this state.

So even though they need to adapt to staying at home because they are "new here" and have to spend a lot of time, they are not the last to go to work.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the field, the team leader Zhou Peijun was standing on the ridge of the field, cursing and scolding those who had not come to work yet.

Shen Shaoyuan's face was full of guilt. He stepped forward to explain, "Our house is leaking and the mattress is soaked. My daughter caught a cold and is feeling unwell, so I hurriedly boiled some herbal medicine for her, but I didn't expect it was so late..."

Shen Moer cooperated by lowering her head and coughing softly. Zhou Peijun glanced at the father and daughter. Shen Laoqi and his daughter have always been hardworking. He was wondering why they were so late today. So this is what happened. His expression softened and he said, "Okay, I won't deduct your work points."

Thinking of the father and daughter who were honest, he kindly reminded them, "If the house is leaking, fix it while the weather is fine. This is an important matter. If you can't do it, just take a leave."

He didn't persuade Shen Moer to go home and rest. She was not off the front line with a minor injury. She just caught a cold and she still had to go to work.

Shen Shaoyuan showed a silly smile: "Okay, I'll fix it in the afternoon."

This meant that he was asking for leave in the afternoon.

Zhou Peijun opened his mouth, wanting to say that you are late anyway, why don't you just ask for leave in the morning to go back to fix it? But seeing Shen Shaoyuan's timid look, he swallowed the words back.

He thought that Shen Laoqi was so honest, he must not be taking advantage of the team, he is just inflexible.

Zhou Peijun didn't know that Shen Shaoyuan had changed his mind, and he didn't doubt that he did it on purpose.

The working hours in the morning are short, and the working hours in the afternoon are long, and Zhou Peijun has said that work points will not be deducted, so of course it is better to ask for leave in the afternoon.

The father and daughter looked at each other, Shen Shaoyuan winked at the young lady, carried the hoe and went down to the right field, Shen Moer curled her lips and went down to the left field.

An adult man like Shen Shaoyuan was considered strong, so he had to go to the left field to turn the soil. Shen Moer had been weak since childhood, and as a female comrade, she was arranged to pull weeds with the elderly and children.

Shen Moer went down to the field, but did not go to crowded places. She directly found a corner where no one was and squatted to pull weeds.

The original owner was cowardly and timid, and rarely contacted outsiders. He never went to crowded places when he went to work, which was convenient for Shen Moer, so she did not have to face many people when she first arrived.

Not long after, two more aunts hurried to the field. Zhou Peijun stared at them with his eyes almost popped out, and roared: "Why don't you come after the sun sets?!"

Shen Moer looked up and saw that the two aunts, one had a high cheekbone and the other had drooping eyes. The high-cheeked one was Tian Fang, the second aunt of the original owner, and the one with drooping eyes was Cao Mei, the third aunt of the original owner. These two were the ones who stole the food from the house.

Tian Fang would smile whenever she met someone: "Peijun, Auntie really didn't mean it. Auntie didn't feel well this morning, so she made a bowl of mugwort tea at home and drank it before coming here. Also, Auntie Cao Mei was kind-hearted and came to accompany me because she was afraid that something was wrong with me. This is my fault. If you want to deduct work points, deduct only mine."

If Cao Mei had said this, Zhou Peijun would not have believed it. Everyone in the brigade knew that Shen Laosan and his wife were very lazy and always procrastinated when it came to work.

But Tian Fang was kind and hardworking, and she had always had a good reputation in the brigade. When she said she was not feeling well, Zhou Peijun believed her.

But why were there so many people feeling unwell today?

Thinking of the unpredictable weather recently, Zhou Peijun had some understanding. The mattress of Shen Laoqi's family was wet and they got cold, and Auntie Tian guessed that it was because of the sudden heat today that they caught a cold.

Since they were not feeling well, he certainly would not deduct their work points.

Zhou Peijun waved his hands helplessly: "Hurry up and work."

Minor injuries will not get you out of the front line, and after drinking mugwort tea, they should naturally continue to work.

Tian Fang said a few more polite words, and after confirming that Zhou Peijun would not deduct their work points, she looked at Cao Mei with pride in her eyes.

There was no feeling of unwell at all, she deliberately washed clothes at home before coming.

Zhou Peijun is a man who looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside. Although he talks a lot, he is actually the softest of the twelve team leaders. She is so good at fooling him.

Tian Fang stood on the ridge of the field and swept her eyes. She saw Shen Moer in the corner and winked at Cao Mei. Cao Mei immediately said, "Hey, isn't that Moer? She is all alone and has no one to accompany her. Sister-in-law, let's go and keep her company."

Tian Fang: "Yes, let's go and keep her company. Let's help her do more work so that Moer can do less work. Look how thin she is."

As they talked, they ran towards Shen Moer.

Zhou Peijun looked at the backs of the two people and thought to himself that among all the people in the old Shen family, Aunt Tian was the kind-hearted one who knew how to feel sorry for Shen Moer, the poor little girl without a mother.

If Shen Moer knew what Zhou Peijun was thinking, she would definitely call him a fool.

There are indeed not many good people in the Shen family, but in fact, Tian Fang is the most vicious one. Take the matter of stealing food for example. On the surface, it was Cao Mei who did it, but in fact, the idea came from Tian Fang. The original owner had heard them discussing how to divide the spoils.

Shen Moer naturally knew that the two of them came over at this time, not to help her as they said. On the contrary, they knew that "Shen Moer" would only bury her head in work and dare not say a word when she was wronged, so they deliberately came to work with her to take the opportunity to slack off.

As soon as they got down to the field, Cao Mei complained: "You are too slow at work. You have only pulled out so little grass since you started working?"

Shen Moer looked at her and said nothing.

Cao Mei didn't find it strange. Shen Laoqi himself couldn't do anything, and his daughter was no different. Today, she even looked up at her, but she usually didn't dare to raise her head.

Tian Fang was always nice, and said with a smile, "Moer is weak and can't do much work. You know that. We, as aunts, should just do more."

"Shen Moer" was weak, but she was always willing to work hard. She couldn't catch up with those who were particularly capable, but she was just average.

But because the Shen family always stole the fruits of her labor when they went to work, and Tian Fang had been promoting her weak body and inability to work for more than ten years, the people in the team really thought that she was in poor health and couldn't work.

Not to mention the Yangliu Brigade, even the nearby villages all knew that the daughter of Shen Laoqi's family was in poor health and could not work, and that such a sickly girl must not be married.

The fellow villagers who were working in the fields secretly glanced at Shen Moli and sighed in their hearts. This child was really pitiful and well-behaved, but it was a pity that she was in poor health.

The farmers all

made a living by their own labor, so how could they survive without being in good health? Tian Fang and Cao Mei were of course not really here to help Shen Moli. Not long after they started working, Cao Mei began to pull the grass from behind Shen Moli to her side, and also shared some with Tian Fang. Tian Fang glanced and said nothing.

Shen Moli was not a fool, how could she not know their little tricks?

Tian Fang and Cao Mei didn't think they could hide it from her, they were sure she was timid and wouldn't dare to say anything even if she was wronged.

Shen Moer secretly glanced at the location, raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, and suddenly began to shake, shaking for two or three seconds before she fell diagonally to the ground.

At the moment she fell, she shouted "weakly" and "hoarsely": "Dad——"

No one in the field here could react yet. In the field across the path, Shen Shaoyuan rushed over with a cry, running and shouting: "Mo'er, my Mo'er..."

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Oh, Mo'er from Shen Laoqi's family fainted!"

"Mom, is she suffering from heatstroke or is she sick? Hurry up and call Lao Liu to come and have a look!"

The crowd was in a panic, and someone ran to the field of the first team to call the barefoot doctor Lao Liu.

"Why call a doctor? Just pinch the Ren Zhong spot and he will wake up." Cao Mei stretched out her hand to pinch it, but was pulled away by Shen Shaoyuan and fell on her butt. She said angrily, "Seventh Brother, why did you push me!"

Shen Shaoyuan ignored her and started crying while holding Shen Moer, "Moer, Moer, what's wrong with you? I only have you as my daughter. What will I do if anything happens to you..."

People around: "..."

Zhou Peijun also came over: "Not really, really not. Maybe he has heatstroke. Uncle Liu will be here soon. Don't worry."

Shen Shaoyuan was still crying and someone next to him muttered, "Why is Seventh Brother Shen so crybless? Why didn't we notice it before?"

Someone said, "He's my only daughter. How can he not be nervous and cry?" ? People, when pushed into a corner, will do anything. "

Shen Moer was afraid that Shen Shaoyuan had overacted, so when she heard the shout of "Uncle Liu is here" from afar, she "slowly woke up" in time and said "weakly": "Dad, I'm fine..."

Seeing her wake up, the onlookers were relieved: "Hey, it's good that she woke up, it's good that she woke up!"

Shen Shaoyuan started crying again: "Moer, you really scared Dad to death..."

Shen Moer grabbed his arm, looking weak but trying to get up: "Dad, I'm fine, I can continue to work, I just did such a little work, how can it be, I can do more..."

When she said this, others immediately noticed that there was a pile of weeds on the ground where she fainted.

"Oh my, this is not just a small job, she has done so much in such a short time, it's amazing!"

"I can't believe it, Moer is so capable!"

The onlookers sighed, they all said that the daughter of Shen Laoqi's family was weak and couldn't do any work, but now it seems that she is not that bad.

Tian Fang and Cao Mei, who were standing aside and watching the excitement, were dumbfounded, the haystack was obviously theirs, although a lot of it was pulled from Shen Moer, but a lot of it was also pulled out by them!

The problem was that at this juncture, people had fainted, they couldn't come forward and say that they pulled the grass, and besides, Shen Moer happened to be lying on the haystack, even if they said it, no one would believe it.

Cao Mei opened her mouth, but was pulled by Tian Fang. She closed it unwillingly.

Doctor Liu also arrived at this time. He examined Shen Moer and, based on the father and daughter's statements, concluded that she felt a little cold, but was still hungry.

The onlookers sighed. The turmoil outside in recent years had also affected the agricultural production of the commune. The grain production was low, and after paying the public grain, the brigade was stretched to the limit. Almost every household was not able to eat enough.

However, some people felt that although they were not full, they should not be so hungry? Both the father and daughter worked honestly and hard, and the family had no other burdens. Life should not be so difficult, right?

Then these people saw that Shen Moer climbed up tremblingly with her frail little body, grabbed Tian Fang and Cao Mei, and cried out in a sad voice: "Second aunt, third aunt, can you return the food you borrowed from my family to us? It's not that my father and I are stingy, but my family has been out of food for several days. If this continues, my father and I will really starve to death!"

"If it weren't for being helpless, I wouldn't dare to ask you, but I'm really hungry. I can't go to work properly like this, wuwuwu, I don't want to hold you back..."

Tian Fang and Cao Mei, who were caught off guard and grabbed: "..."
