In late June, the crops in the fields were ripe, and the production team ushered in the second busy farming season of the first half of the year - summer harvest.
Wang Jiaxing returned the day before the summer harvest. In just a few days at home, he had lost a lot of weight. If you didn't know him, you would think he had gone out to do hard labor somewhere.
But he was in good spirits and exuded an air of freedom.
This time when he came back, he brought back a letter of severance.
"Has your husband Wang really cut off ties with our family?" Li Xiyue was still a little surprised by the news.
After all, Wang Jiaxing was well-known for his filial piety. For the sake of his family, he lived a hard life for four years, tightening his belt and cutting back on food.
When she went back this time, she was worried that he would be controlled by his family, but she didn't expect that he would actually break off all ties with his family.
Huang Xinrui handed her some herbs while saying, "His family was too much. Not only did they blame him for Tian Lingling's accident, but they also asked him to pay a sum of money to his aunt. He was completely disheartened and simply broke off the relationship."
She, Xu Shanshan and Zhou Yunze pretended to be injured and asked for leave, and went directly to school for summer vacation.
But their injuries must heal before tomorrow, because the farming season is coming...
Even if you become a teacher, you still have to work during the busy farming season, which is quite helpless.
"For a family like that, it's better to break up." Li Xiyue cut the dried herbs into small pieces, and Xu Baiwei packed them into bags.
Huang Xinrui nodded. "Who says it's not true? What a life Old Wang has lived all these years for the sake of that family. They're so good, they don't feel sorry for their son at all. Instead, they feel sorry for that bad woman like Tian Lingling. They're so partial to her that they go right down to her armpits."
"So what are your plans for the future?" Li Xiyue looked at her and asked with a smile.
Huang Xinrui said: "Lao Wang and I have discussed it. When we save enough money, we will return to the city. We will each buy a job, work, earn money, raise children, and manage our small life well."
"You guys are really thinking ahead." Li Xiyue said with a smile, "We haven't even gotten married yet, but you've already planned everything about raising a child."
Huang Xinrui blushed. "We call this a long-term plan. What about you? When do you and your Captain Chu plan to do it?"
After she became a teacher, she spent less time in the sun, and with the ointment developed by Li Xiyue, her skin became several shades whiter, and she was no longer a dark girl.
"We don't know yet."
Until the Chu family's problems are resolved, grandpa will not agree to her marriage to Chu Xun in the short term.
"Yueyue, you have to think about it carefully. Your Captain Chu is not young anymore." Huang Xinrui reminded with a smile.
Li Xiyue smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I will think about it carefully."
"Sister."
As the two were talking, Xu Guoqing rushed in with Xiaobai, sweating profusely.
Li Xiyue asked: "Where did you take Xiao Baiye again, kid?"
During this holiday, Xiaobai was abducted by Xu Guoqing and rarely went home.
"We went up the mountain. Look, this is our harvest today." Xu Guoqing shook a rabbit in his hand.
Li Xiyue took a closer look and said, "This rabbit looks familiar. Could it be the one your brother Xiangyang released last year?"
Xu Guoqing smiled slyly, "Xiangyang is not here anyway, and he won't say anything if I eat the rabbit. Sister, please don't ruin my plan."
Li Xiyue opened her mouth and said, "Sure, as long as you give me half of the rabbit meat."
"You really are my sister." Xu Guoqing looked as if he had suffered a great loss and went to the kitchen with the rabbit in his hand.
Xiaobai followed in with his mouth drooling, "Eat rabbit, eat rabbit."
Smoke soon rose from the kitchen, and the man and the dog were busy.
Li Xiyue thought to herself, I wonder what Xu Xiangyang’s expression would be if he knew that the rabbit he had rescued with great difficulty was eaten by them?
But she didn't care. Even if they didn't eat it, the rabbit would be eaten by humans or other animals. It would be better to let them eat it, so that the benefits would not be wasted on outsiders.
Huang Xinrui stopped helping with the work and ran into the kitchen, "Little comrade Guoqing, everyone who sees it gets a share."
Xu Baiwei pretended to go into the house to get some water and smiled at Xu Guoqing, "Brother Guoqing."
Chu Xun just happened to come back. Seeing the fire was already lit in the kitchen, he walked in and asked, "Are we having rabbit tonight?"
"Ah~~" Xu Guoqing beat his chest and stamped his feet. It was just one rabbit, and so many people were sharing it. He suffered a huge loss.
"Pfft——" Li Xiyue laughed unkindly.
As it got dark, a group of people gathered around the table, eating spicy braised rabbit meat, with excitement on their faces.
"Brother-in-law, it would be a shame if you don't become a chef in a state-owned restaurant with your cooking skills." Xu Guoqing took a bite of rabbit meat and a big mouthful of rice, speaking incoherently.
Chu Xun picked up a piece of meat for Li Xiyue and said pretentiously, "My hands are for conquering the world, how can I hold a spatula?"
"Then why do you stay in my sister's kitchen every day?" Xu Guoqing rolled his eyes.
Chu Xun smiled at Li Xiyue and said, "I only cook for her."
Everyone: “…”
So corny, I got goosebumps.
After a hearty meal, everyone went home to wash up and go to bed. No conversation took place that night, and the summer harvest began the next day.
For the next half month, everyone was so busy that they had no time to rest. Except for eating, going to the toilet and sleeping, they spent all their time in the fields.
All the harvested grain was dried in the threshing ground, and there were special people guarding it.
The members who guard the threshing ground not only have to turn the grain at any time, but also have to pay attention to the weather. If there are signs of rain, they have to harvest the grain in advance.
This time, the three old men guarding the food were Uncle Xu San, Xu Yongfu, and Uncle Xu Liu.
Uncle Xu was in charge of ploughing the land, but he had no use for it now, so he was assigned to the threshing ground. Xu Yongfu was assigned here because he was old and could not do heavy work.
As for Uncle Xu Liu, he is old and has few people in his family. His son and daughter-in-law are doctors at the county hospital, and the salary of one of the couple is enough for their expenses.
