If farm work could be graded, Su Qing believed that land reclamation would be at the top of the list.
I don’t know if it’s because he hasn’t done farm work in a long time or because the land reclamation was too hard, but Su Qing was so tired that he couldn’t straighten his back after just half a day.
One of them couldn't help but go to rest under a tree.
The place where we cleared the land was on the small slope at the end of the village. There were only some bare trees around it, and many of the trunks and bark were gone. It might be because we pulled the leaves too hard.
Su Qing was afraid that the children would be exposed to the sun, so he tied a piece of black oilcloth between two trees.
Little Five and Little Six sat under the oilcloth and played, and Si Ya watched over them and didn't let them run around.
She would never work with her child on her back like those young wives.
Not to mention that the scorching sun would burn the children, just the two of them sticking together in such hot weather would be unbearable.
San Ya couldn't sit still. Seeing her friends working, she carried a wicker basket on her back to help Su Qing move weeds and stones one by one.
Su's mother and Wenli were bending over to cut grass and branches.
As for the tree roots and grass roots, we will wait for Su Che and Cheng Fangyi to come back and dig them up.
He Aihua, who was passing by with her waist twisted, snorted when she saw Su Qing's appearance.
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu immediately imitated the sound of "hmm".
"Is your skin itchy?" The child had just learned to speak. Although he didn't know what itchy skin meant, he immediately shut up when he saw Su Qing's dark face.
Lunch was brought by someone from each family.
The work of clearing the land was tough, so the aunt who cooked the meal specially picked some extra sweet potato leaves. In the past, it was half a bowl of sweet potato leaves and half a bowl of water, but now it is a bowl of sweet potato leaves with a little water.
Because they were outside, Su Qing couldn't show his dislike for the food and ate it with gritted teeth.
San Ya eats everything, and she will finish anything Su Qing hands her.
But Si Ya, after what happened last time, refused to eat anything.
Fortunately, Su Qing made a lot of egg rice porridge for Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, and gave a bowl to Si Ya.
Gu Jinzhi also couldn't get used to the food in the cafeteria.
She pouted and looked at He Aihua with a tearful face.
"What are you looking at? I've given you such a big bowl of food, and you're still not satisfied." He Aihua thought that Gu Jinzhi was dissatisfied with the small amount of food she was given, and said impatiently.
Gu Jinzhi pointed at the rice porridge that Si Ya was eating and said, "Aunt, I want to eat some egg porridge."
Following the direction Gu Jinzhi pointed, He Aihua's gaze moved to the Su family, and then hurriedly looked away as if she had seen a ghost.
"That's someone else's, what's it got to do with you? Now that you can still eat, just be happy."
Gu Jinzhi suddenly got angry and refused to touch the bowl of sweet potato leaves no matter what. In the end, all of them went into Mr. He's stomach.
Before it was time to get off work, Gu Jinzhi's stomach started to feel anxious.
He also works very slowly.
That's right, He Aihua asked Gu Jinzhi, who was less than three years old, to help with the work. She was not tall to begin with, and with a backpack on her back, she was wobbly when she walked.
She was staring at the bottles in Xiaowu and Xiaoliu's arms, swallowing her saliva.
He rushed over as if possessed by some unknown force and tried to snatch the bottle.
Si Ya subconsciously stood in front of her two younger brothers, and Gu Jinzhi, who was so hungry that she was weak, was pushed to the ground by Si Ya without any effort.
The loud crying attracted He Aihua over.
"What are you doing? Why are you bullying our family for no reason?"
Seeing Gu Jinzhi lying on the ground, He Aihua took the initiative and directly blamed all the faults on the Su family's children.
"I didn't. She was the one who snatched the things away and I didn't give them to her. I just blocked her and she fell down by herself." Si Ya said angrily with her cheeks puffed out.
"Who knows whether what you said is true or not, anyway, I saw my Jinzhi being pushed down by you."
Even if it was Gu Jinzhi's fault, she just couldn't admit it, otherwise she didn't know how she would be bullied by those people from the Su family.
"There wasn't any. If you don't believe me, ask her."
Si Ya asked Gu Jinzhi to explain herself, but Gu Jinzhi just wanted to eat.
Even after falling to the ground, his eyes never moved at all, staring straight at the bottle.
Su Qing put the hoe on the ground, his face sullen, and sneered, "There are so many people watching here, wouldn't you just ask a few people and find out what's going on? What are you trying to do by being so aggressive? Are you trying to start a fight? I'm happy to accompany you to the end."
He Aihua instantly remembered the shoulder throw that Su Qing gave to Old Lady He, and strategically took a few steps back.
"I just came over to ask. They're just kids fighting each other. It would be boring if we adults took it seriously." After saying that, he walked away dejectedly without even helping Gu Jinzhi up from the ground.
Gu Jinzhi simply didn't get up and fell into a deep sleep in the shade provided by the Su family.
A day of pioneering work finally came to an end. Su Qing felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and his arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them at all.
This feeling was even stronger when I woke up the next day.
Su Qing seriously suspected that his limbs no longer belonged to him. His lower abdomen ached slightly, the same feeling as the aftereffects of sit-ups, so he stayed in bed, reluctant to get up.
"Wife, if you can't finish it, wait until I come back. I have to go to work first."
The Su family, including Cheng Fangyi, all settled in the village and could not escape the collective labor that every household participated in.
Cheng Fangyi was already considering whether to find a job for Su Qing. He couldn't bear to see Su Qing working under the sun.
Su Qing hummed twice to indicate that he understood, and Cheng Fangyi reluctantly went to work.
