The village chief wore a big straw hat, and his only free-moving arm was no longer free to wave his pipe and pot.
At this moment, he was also carrying a bucket and stopped from time to time to shout to the villagers, "Everyone, please work harder, we can water all the melon fields today!
" Others are afraid of drought, but we are not afraid! The drought in Qingshui Village was much worse than this before, but we still managed to survive it!
"Haha, I got it, uncle village chief! " "A man wiped a handful of sweat beads and smiled brightly, "What we water is not water, but gold seeds. The drier the weather, the sweeter the melons will be! We will definitely get rich again this year!"
Others also laughed, and a woman shouted, "If the money is divided again this year, my family will be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
"My family is the same, haha! " What we are pouring is not water, but our daughter-in-law and fat grandson! "The other woman also said with a smile, and finally she raised her feet and looked under the big tree on the ground.
There was a straw mat there, and Aunt Wu was taking care of Hui Niang's twins.
The twins had just learned to sit, and were only wearing The bellyband, shorts, and fat meat rollers are the same. Everyone loves it when they see it.
Especially the elderly women, wishing that they could have two such fat babies in their family in the blink of an eye!
Hui Niang also wore a straw hat , watering the water with the villagers.
A woman asked: "Sister Huiniang, Dayong and the others have been gone for two months. Is there any news back?" Huiniang
smiled and said: "Yes, I heard that I have won many battles and I think I will be back soon."
"That's good. I'll raise a few more chickens this year. When the Marquis and others come back, I'll kill them and stew them in a big pot, and add them to the celebration banquet! " "The woman finished speaking with a smile, causing several familiar companions to laugh.
One of the young wives said: "Oh, it's rare for my sister-in-law to be generous. She almost broke my head because of an egg before. , Now I have really changed my gender!
The woman earlier blushed and said angrily: "Isn't life difficult in the past? One egg can be exchanged for a handful of salt, which is enough for the family to eat several meals! " Now that life is good, of course I can be generous.
"Aunt Li said, be more generous when doing things, don't worry about it, let's all work hard, our life will be better, and our wealth will be wider!"
"Aunt Li is right," the women all nodded.
Someone took advantage of the situation and asked, "I saw that my aunt took Fu Niu'er and left in a carriage this morning. Is this going to Luo'an again?"
"Yes," Huiniang answered this time, "Jiaren is going to go there soon. It was time to take the scholar exam, and my aunt was worried about it, so of course she wanted to go and have a look. But the village was carrying water to water the melon vines again, and my aunt was worried. She just waited until today, and my sister-in-law Hongying and I persuaded her to leave."
"Oh, we. I don't know about this!" A woman yelled, "If I had known, I would have told my aunt to leave long ago. These menial jobs in the village are just trivial matters, but Jiaren's entrance examination is a big deal!"
"Yes, Jiaren is so smart. , can still endure hardships, this time the scholar test will be as easy as a sure thing, no mistake!"
"I heard that Jiaren is now famous in the new capital? What poetry competition did the gentleman with the left hand take him out to participate in? Yes, his handwriting was praised by a high-ranking official?"
"Ask the village chief, he knows best!"
"We are also raising children, but how come all the boys in Aunt Li's family are so successful! When we come to our house, these naughty boys don't go to the house, so I'm so thankful!"
"That's right, the one in my house beats me eight times a day, and I can't even get over it!"
The women chatted while working. It's in full swing.
Although everyone expressed disdain for his son, there was a bright smile on his face.
Whether the child you give birth to is good or not, it's all a matter of your heart!
The village chief slapped his sore waist twice, put down the bucket, and looked at the vast melon fields. He was also happy. This is already the third time of watering. The melon vines have not suffered any thirst and are growing very well.
The melon leaves are green, and there are melons the size of pots hidden in the leaves. Half of the face is shyly exposed, which makes people drool when they see it. They want to smash one open immediately and eat it to their heart's content!
It's always hard work and gain!
Melons are also planted in Dahuaishu Village, Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang, and they are watered throughout the spring and summer.
But the villagers are lazy and compete with each other when working. Sanlizheng shouts hoarse every time before he can water several acres of land.
Nowadays, there are melons growing in their fields, but unfortunately they are much worse than those in Xincun, both in size and quality.
Some people say that Xincun is a geomantic treasure land, and the melons grown there are naturally better than those grown elsewhere.
In fact, there is no Feng Shui treasure!
A lazy man would starve to death if he sat in a cornucopia, but the geomantic treasures in the eyes of outsiders were dug out by the old and young with hoes and picks...
Under the same scorching sun, the Li family's carriage finally arrived outside the small town of Luo'an. .
Of the thirty acres of land I bought a year ago, I now plant twenty acres of sorghum and millet, leaving ten acres for vegetables.
Wu Laojiu's family are hard-working people. This spring and summer, they wish they could live in the vegetable field and keep the vegetable field in order.
Looking from a distance now, the furrows in the ground are as straight as plowed with a ruler.
A rack of oil beans, as tall as a person, was blown by the summer wind, waving its palm-like leaves in an enthusiastic manner.
There are rows of eggplant seedlings, with the withered leaves below broken off, revealing the shiny purple-black eggplants.
In the vegetable pools, green cabbage, spinach, coriander, rapeseed, and radish with red stems were planted. They looked like a red grid for calligraphy practice, especially neat... The
little girl of the Wu family was so tanned Like a little black charcoal, he came out of home carrying a sickle and was about to go to the fields. When he saw the Li family's carriage parked on the roadside, he quickly ran over to salute.
Mrs. Li smiled and wiped her sweat beads, chatted a few words, and nodded when she heard that Wu Laojiu had gone to the canteen to deliver food.
Jiayin poked her head out of the car window, handed the little girl a box of snacks, and said, "This is the horseshoe cake. It was just baked in the shop. Take it back and eat it." The
little girl from the Wu family was so happy that she took the box and started eating again. He saluted and responded with a blushing face: "The princess is so kind. The girls in the neighborhood are all envious of me! The pearl-studded headband that the princess gave me last time, they said it could be sold for dozens of pennies. My mother After hearing this, I was reluctant to let me wear it!"
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Wear it if you want. You work hard. When you get married, I will decide to give you a set of pearls to add makeup to your hair. I will keep you the most beautiful. My bride!"
The little girl was shy, her face turned even redder, but her eyes were sparkling!
The carriage quickly started moving again and went directly to the small door of the academy cafeteria.
Li Laosan heard the commotion and ran out to greet his mother and niece, smiling honestly.
"Mom, it's so hot, why did you come here in the sun? Send me a message, and I'll pick you up when I go back. I'll leave in the middle of the night, and it's best to arrive in the morning."
Mrs. Li waved her hand, "Mom, I've been in the sun for most of my life . You are so delicate, but you are busy right now, right?"
Li Laosan helped his little niece step on the stool and get out of the car, and replied: "We are used to it every day, and we don't feel busy at all. Wenjuan's small business has been extremely hot these days."
Jiayin was wearing a water-red gauze skirt today, and her hair was tied into two small buds. At this moment, she couldn't wait to ask: "Did the third brother take Baixiang? The fruit shipment has arrived, have you started selling passion fruit drink?"
After that, without waiting for San Bo's response, she flew to the water selling hut like a butterfly...
