At night, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were still laughing and playing.
The two kids seemed to have endless energy, jumping here and crawling there.
Seeing Su Qing lying on the bed, he tried to step over her with his short legs.
As a result, he kicked Su Qing hard.
After being scolded by Cheng Fangyi a few times, he quieted down for a while.
Soon the quarrel broke out again.
Soon, Cheng Fangyi and Liangbao were driven by Su Qing to sleep on another bed.
Looking at his wife who was right in front of him but he couldn't hold her, Cheng Fangyi felt disgusted with his two sons for the first time.
He pinched their chubby cheeks and said resentfully, "See, I told you not to be disobedient. If you commit a crime, I will be punished along with you."
Liubao grabbed his feet and started chewing them, while Wubao sat beside him and caringly helped him hold up his shaky legs.
"Dad, stinky, sleeping with mom..."
"You little heartless boy, I haven't even thought you smell bad yet. Go to sleep now. If you keep pestering your mother, the three of us will go to the yard to feed mosquitoes tonight."
Although he said he disliked them, Cheng Fangyi got up several times in the middle of the night to cover the two children with quilts, and then secretly moved into Su Qing's bed.
In the blink of an eye, it is the day of double harvest.
From the old ladies in their sixties and seventies to the babies of one or two years old, those carrying hoes and holding sickles, everyone's face was filled with the joy of harvest.
The experienced aunts first cut the sweet potato vines and let the boys of eight or nine years old push the carts to the drying yard, and then the pregnant women who were unable to go out and the old women with limited mobility chopped them into pieces.
The chopped sweet potato vines were dumped directly on the ground, waiting for the sun to evaporate their moisture.
When it is cooked, soak it and it becomes another dish.
In the past, these sweet potato vines, which were very difficult to chew, were used to feed pigs, but with the previous disaster year, no one could guarantee that there would be enough food to eat during the next harvest season.
The sweet potatoes are not washed after being dug out. Instead, they are peeled on the spot with a melon peeler. One by one, they are peeled into the shape of shoe soles, and then put into bags after drying.
Some naughty kids are not afraid of adults' scolding. They pick up a piece of sweet potato and bite it directly. They still smile happily even with their mouths full of mud.
For example, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu.
The two of them have been busy for a moment since they learned to walk.
I followed the adults to work early in the morning.
Su Qing had just finished digging a row of sweet potatoes when he saw Xiaowu twisting his little body and stumbling towards him on his short legs.
In his hand was a small piece of sweet potato, covered with jagged teeth marks.
There was a pool of saliva on his chest, mixed with mud, which spread across his white vest, and he really looked like a mud monkey.
"Cool~"
"Mother~"
Okay, it’s confirmed. Xiaowu can’t tell the difference between n and l. Sometimes he calls her mom, and sometimes he calls her Liang.
"Walk slowly, mom is here, don't worry."
Su Qing didn't know what he was so excited about, and he was bouncing as he walked.
On the other side, Xiaoliu was holding a sweet potato, standing there crying loudly, shouting to Su Qing: "Mom, hold me."
When Su Qing got closer, he found that a caterpillar had crawled onto his feet. The little boy was so scared that his toes curled up. He looked at Su Qing helplessly and reached out for a hug.
At this moment, Su Qing wished he had five, six, seven or eight clones.
Of course, Su Qing's family is not the only one facing problems.
There is also Luo Quanxiang's family.
He Mei is eighteen years old this year, and Luo Quanxiang has started arranging her marriage early.
She was originally scheduled to get married in April this year, but Luo Quanxiang kept postponing it until now in order to have more people to help with the housework.
But the man also thought so. He wanted the new daughter-in-law to marry him earlier. Having more people in the family would give him more work points.
It is said that the man has urged several times, and the two sides have been arguing, and He Mei is very embarrassed to be caught in the middle.
He wandered around the door of the Su family several times, and saw Su Qing looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Su Qing simply pretended not to see it.
It is true that He Mei is pitiful. Although she has a mother, she is not as happy as children without a mother.
But he deserves it.
Once, she came crying to Su Qing for advice. Su Qing felt sympathetic and suggested a few solutions.
As a result, Luo Quanxiang coaxed her around with just a few words, and she was willing to work for her again. She also confessed Su Qing and said that all these were taught by Su Qing.
Luo Quanxiang stood at the door of the Su family and cursed like a shrew for the whole morning.
Su Qing swore that even if He Mei cried to death in front of him, he would not even look at her.
As a result, He Mei felt as if she had suffered a great injustice, and every time she looked at Su Qing, her eyes were filled with resentment.
Just now, the two sisters were scolded by Luo Quanxiang again, and He Mei immediately looked for the Su family.
It turned out that He Li accidentally broke another sweet potato with a small shovel, and Luo Quanxiang walked over angrily, shaking his hands.
Looking at the pile of rotten sweet potatoes behind He Li, he became more and more angry.
These are all work points. How many work points will be deducted for breaking so many?
She was so angry that she pulled He Li over and slapped her hard on the butt several times.
After all, a child is still a child, and He Li burst into tears.
He Mei stood aside and didn't dare to say a word. Seeing He Li crying, she quickly covered her hands to stop her from making any sound.
But when Luo Quanxiang saw He Mei's timid look, she became even angrier and pinched her arms hard several times.
He Mei's eyes were filled with tears due to the pain, but she didn't dare to even groan.
"What are you looking at? If you have the guts, go ask that little bitch from the Su family to give you advice.
What the hell, you keep coming up with these rotten ideas and trying to sow discord between other families. I tell you, I gave you your life, and even if I beat you to death, no one would dare to say anything.
