126: Growing vegetables in the yard
Yu Xiaoye looked at his shoes, then at Sai Jinhua's panda eyes after staying up late, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little hot:
"Aunt, is it done so soon?"
"Yes, Auntie was worried about you not having new shoes, so I made them for you overnight. Luckily, your feet are not much smaller than mine, so the soles are already there, so I made the uppers right away. They were done very quickly. Come try them on and see if they fit your feet."
As she spoke, Sai Jinhua put a pair of brand new red cloth shoes on the ground and asked Yu Xiaoye to try them on.
Yu Xiaoye had nothing much to say except that he was very touched.
She bent down, took off her worn cotton shoes, and put on the new shoes. They were a little big. Her feet were very thin and small, probably around size 36, but this pair of shoes was probably size 37.
However, Yu Xiaoye still nodded repeatedly out of respect:
"Auntie, these shoes are perfect, not too big or too small, they fit perfectly!"
Sai Jinhua was so happy when she saw the shoes she made by herself on Yu Xiaoye's feet:
"As long as they fit, I'll make you a new pair someday so you can wear them as a replacement."
A smooth-talking young man heard this and approached Sai Jinhua, deliberately stirring up trouble:
"Sa Jinhua, I don't have shoes to wear anymore. Could you make me a pair?"
"Bah, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? How can you wear the shoes that my aunt made for you?"
The man instinctively wanted to say, "What ability does this girl have?", but after thinking about it, he realized that she was extremely capable, so he wisely swallowed the words.
Besides, even if this girl has no ability, it’s fine as long as Sai Jinhua is willing.
We make shoes for whoever they want.
Sometimes, giving is also a kind of happiness.
A woman who is nearly fifty years old and has no children suddenly found the joy of being a mother in a little girl. One can only say that this girl is lucky.
After Yu Xiaoye put on his new shoes, the company's horse-drawn carriages and tractors arrived one after another, and everyone climbed onto the vehicles, carrying their farm tools.
The mother and daughter were surrounded and made a fuss for a while. Only then did they remember that Yu Jiahui had gone. They looked up and saw that Yu Jiahui had picked up a hoe and climbed onto a tractor with the Peking Opera master Hong Cheng.
Yu Xiaoye hurriedly chased after him:
"Dad! Come back! It will take a hundred days for your injured bones to heal. Just take some time to recover!"
Yu Jiahui was in a good mood and waved to his daughter, signaling her to go back:
"You and your mother should go back. Go back and guard the gate. Don't wander around. I'll be home after work."
Xu Ying also chased over and said unhappily:
"Old Yu, get down here! What are you trying to do? With your old waist, what can you do? Go home right away!"
Hong Cheng, who was squeezed next to Yu Jiahui, saw the worried look on the mother and daughter's faces and comforted them:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll help you look after Old Yu and try to let him do some light work. I won't tire him out. You can go back now."
Seeing that the old man was disobedient, Xu Ying became a little annoyed and wanted to persuade him again.
But Yu Xiaoye knew that his father was determined to go to work this time and no one could change him, so he said to Hong Cheng:
"Then please ask Uncle Hong to take care of my father. I'm worried that his waist injury hasn't healed yet and he can't do heavy work."
Hong Cheng nodded:
"Okay, if there's any heavy work, I'll help."
After hearing this, Xu Ying frowned even more tightly. She was too embarrassed to say it. Hong Cheng looked weak and it was unclear who would help whom in the future.
Even though her husband's injury hasn't fully healed yet, he's still stronger than Hong Cheng.
The farm workers climbed onto the tractor bed, packed tightly together like sardines in a can. Seeing that most people had arrived, the tractor driver shouted and slowly started the car.
When Xu Ying saw the tractor start, he remembered that he had two boiled eggs in his pocket, which he was planning to take to the field to eat.
She quickly took out the still warm eggs and threw them into the tractor's bucket.
"Lao Yu, eggs, eggs, they're good for you when you're hungry!"
The two eggs "whooshed" into a "sardine"-like gap and no one knew where they fell. The people in the truck hurriedly lowered their heads to look for them. The people in the truck became noisy again, pushing each other and almost pushing the people off.
Watching the tractors and horse-drawn carriages leave one after another, the mother and daughter felt somewhat worried.
Especially Xu Ying, she felt a little empty in her heart.
During this period, she had been working in place of the injured Yu Jiahui. In the first few days, she was indeed not used to this kind of collective labor and felt tired and not free.
But after persisting for a few days, I actually found fun in it. Everyone gossiped and joked about family matters while working, which was quite funny.
After a day, although I was tired, I felt fulfilled and happy.
Xu Ying almost fell in love with this collective life.
Now I finally adapted to it and found some fun, but when my period came, Yu Jiahui masturbated again.
Watching the carriages go away, Xu Ying said to his daughter:
"I suspect your father has had enough of staying home and is taking this opportunity to go out to work so he can take care of the housework."
Yu Xiaoye thought about it and actually felt that what his mother said made sense:
"It's possible. The work at home isn't easy at all. It's much more tiring than working outside. I'm afraid my dad really took this opportunity to go back to the team and stay there."
"Oh——" Xu Ying suddenly sighed.
Yu Xiaoye withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Xu Ying who was standing beside him with a melancholy look on her face:
"Mom, you won't be reluctant to give up this job, right?"
"I'm really reluctant to leave. How about I try my best to find a job on the farm?"
Yu Xiaoye frowned:
"You all go to work, so all the housework is left to me alone, right?"
"That's true. Forget it. I won't daydream anymore. Let's go home and grow vegetables and raise chickens. Oh, and I want to dig some wild vegetables while they're fresh. Also, I need to find some cloth to make a new pair of shoes.
I can’t wear cotton shoes anymore. When I work in the fields, I go barefoot—”
Xu Ying chatted for a while and then filled up the day's schedule.
Yu Xiaoye also has her own plans. In addition to these trivial housework, she also wants to spend more time
Anyway, both of them have a lot of things to do and are overwhelmed.
Compared to working outside, housework is not easy at all.
After the mother and daughter arrived home, they discussed it and decided to plant vegetables in the yard.
It's already May 1st. If we don't plant some crops now, we won't be able to eat fresh vegetables in the summer.
The land had been plowed in advance, and Xu Ying had almost collected all the vegetable seeds, which were quite complete, including cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, winter melons, turnips, leeks, green onions, eggplants, long beans, short beans, squash, bok choy, spinach, coriander, radishes, and peppers.
They still have some soybeans at home, and they plan to plant some so that they can eat fresh beans when the time comes.
In his previous life, Xu Ying had never grown vegetables himself. Firstly, there was no place to grow them at home, and secondly, he really didn’t know how to grow them.
In this new life, I inherited the original owner's memories and the skill of growing vegetables, so I wanted to experience it and show off my skills.
So we collected all the seeds we could find in the company.
