Chapter 25 Returning to the Mother's Home
On the last day of transplanting rice, Yuan Xiao accompanied Wang Yazhi to the fields.
Many people couldn't help but be amazed when they saw Yuan Xiao.
"Yuan Xiao's mother, your Yuan Xiao is getting more and more beautiful, like a fairy!"
"Of course! She is so fair and tender, why does she put on makeup when she goes to the fields?"
They remembered that Yuan Xiao used to be very dark, how come she has become white after not going out for such a short time?
Wang Yazhi smiled and accepted their compliments, as if they were praising her, "No, she has become much whiter because she has been at home these days and has not been to the fields."
Apart from Yuan Xiao, Wang Yazhi has also become whiter.
It's just that she goes out every day and has to sunbathe, so her whiteness is not that obvious.
"If my daughter is so pretty, I can't bear to let her bask in the sun!"
San Ya's mother also echoed: "That's right, I can't bear to let my San Ya!"
Wang Yazhi hesitated when she heard it, and said distressedly: "Xiao Xiao, why don't you go home and rest?"
They didn't have to go to the fields to do work points, but everyone was there, and it felt bad if Wang Yazhi didn't come.
Yuan Xiao shook his head, "It's the last day, I'll just work for the morning."
A group of people were noisy, and even working was not so tiring.
San Ya's mother walked a few steps to Wang Yazhi's side and looked at Yuan Xiao mysteriously, "Oh, Yuan Xiao's mother, why didn't you think Yuan Xiao was so pretty before! This little face is like white tofu, is there any secret recipe?"
Wang Yazhi was reluctant to give the rose essence to them. They were all farmers, and they would cause trouble when the time came.
"If you don't work at home and don't get sun exposure, you will get fair skin. Isn't it beautiful to be fair? Look at Cheng Zhiqing from the Youth Corps. Isn't she fair and beautiful?"
Yuan Xiao treated rose essence, which others couldn't afford, as free. She not only drank it with water, but also used it for bathing. She applied it from head to toe with Vaseline. Anyone else would think it was a waste of money.
So Yuan Xiao's fair skin was not only on her face, but also on her body.
She had taken good care of herself during this period. Her figure was still slim and petite, but the flesh had gradually bulged in the places where it should grow, and the curves of her body had also come out.
Sanya's mother looked around like a thief, "Speaking of educated youth, do you remember that educated youth Wang? She committed suicide with a big belly, oh, this is really shameful!"
Wang Yazhi didn't know how to respond, she didn't like to talk behind people's backs.
"Her mother even came to the brigade to make trouble and asked us to pay! Her daughter herself is not decent, and she wants our village to pay! Pah, what a rubbish!"
Wang Yazhi's face was indifferent, "Sanya's mother, don't say it, if someone hears it and tells the brigade leader, he might even criticize you!"
Because Sanya's mother was criticized by Lin Yongsheng in public for gossiping.
San Ya's mother looked embarrassed, "I'm just chatting with you!"
After finishing her work and returning home, Wang Yazhi was still not very happy. Yuan Xiao was here, and San Ya's mother was so careless that she said all kinds of dirty words.
"Mom, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon to buy some things for grandma and aunt."
They chose to leave early tomorrow morning to visit Yuan Xiao's grandmother.
Wang Yazhi's father passed away when she was very young. Her mother raised her and her sister alone and never remarried.
Her sister Wang Yating was born with congenital deficiencies and had a bad health since she was a child. It was precisely because of raising medical expenses for Wang Yating that Wang Yazhi hurriedly married Yuan Man, a widower.
Otherwise, Wang Yazhi was also a famous beauty in the area when she was young, and she would never marry Yuan Man.
Yuan Xiao still knew about this matter from other people, so he didn't know everything.
But if Wang Yazhi didn't mention it, she wouldn't take the initiative to poke her wound.
Wang Yazhi thought of her mother and felt happier. "Okay, let's buy pork tomorrow, otherwise it won't be fresh after a day."
Now the weather is getting warmer, and things won't last long.
After Yuan Xiao and her friends finished lunch, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy malted milk, egg cakes and other things, and came back, and saw the people who built the pig shed last time busy next to their house.
Wang Yazhi handed the things to Yuan Xiao and ran up, "Brother, my family doesn't have a pig shed anymore, what are you doing here?"
They looked at each other, and saw Yuan Man coming up from behind, "Oh my god, I want to build a pig shed here!"
Wang Yazhi almost laughed out of anger, "You build a pig shed here? Then we can't live here!"
They chose a good place to build the pig shed, even if it was close to home, they wouldn't smell the pig manure.
But the place Yuan Man chose happened to be a windy place. Once the wind blew, not only their family, but also several families nearby would be affected!
Seeing them angry, Yuan Man was particularly satisfied and said with a smile: "That's none of my business. This place doesn't belong to anyone. I'm building a pig shed here, and the captain can't control us!"
He turned to see the things in Yuan Xiao's hand and looked at her greedily, "Xiao'er, these things are used to honor me, right?"
Yuan Xiao sneered, "Just for what you have done, you still want to eat my things? Eat shit! Mother, let's go home!"
The last time Zhao Fubing came, he said that he helped them find a house for rent in the county town. When she looked at it, if it was suitable, she could move in at any time.
Wang Yazhi shut Yuan Man's shouting and cursing outside with a bang.
Yuan Xiao's grandmother's home is in Shangxi Village next door. Although it is next door, it is actually not a short distance.
Although Yuan Xiao had quickly gotten used to the transportation of this era, he still felt a little overwhelmed.
It took him almost two hours to reach Shangxi Village. He really wanted to own a bicycle!
Along the way, many people recognized Wang Yazhi and greeted her with a smile.
Yuan Xiao put on a professional fake smile and called people one by one with Wang Yazhi.
When they finally arrived at Yuan Xiao's grandmother's house, they saw an old man hunched over picking vegetables at the door from a distance.
I don't know who shouted, "Auntie Wang, your Yazhi is back!"
According to Wang Yazhi, Yuan Xiao's grandmother should be in her early 50s, but the old man sitting at the door looked like she was in her 70s.
"Mom!" Wang Yazhi cried out with tears in her eyes and staggered over.
When Mrs. Wang heard the voice, she raised her head hesitantly. Her vision was blurry. She looked for a long time before wiping away her tears: "Is it Miss Yazhi?"
Wang Yazhi knelt down in front of the old lady, "Mom, Yazhi is back. It's my fault for not being able to come and see you!"
The two hugged each other and cried bitterly. Yuan Xiao waited for them to vent for a while before speaking, "Grandma, I'm Yuan Xiao!"
The old lady wiped her tears. This was the first time she met Yuan Xiao. "Okay! Okay! Grandma will give you some candy. You look like your mother, fair and tender!"
Yuan Xiao was a little embarrassed, because she was not fair and tender before.
They talked for a long time at the door before the old lady remembered to lead them into the house.
As soon as Yuan Xiao stepped into the room, he heard cursing from inside, "Mom! I told you to pick the vegetables, why haven't you picked them yet? I'm almost starving. Let's cook! Go back and wash Erbao's diapers. There are a pile of them."
