Half afternoon.
The corn in the field has been transported to the drying field, and the villagers gathered together. The joy of harvest was revealed on their tired faces after working for more than ten days in a row.
"The corn is growing really well this year!"
"I guess there will be a lot left after the grain is delivered."
"I think, during the Chinese New Year this year, I can finally eat a round belly."
"Be careful to burst your belly..." "
I'm willing to burst..."
"Haha..."
Listening to the laughter of the villagers, Mu Baoguo's dark face also showed a few grooves of laughter.
The natural disasters in the past two years made the villagers who could only chew tree bark fearful of starvation. This year's food harvest was bumper, and every household could have food in stock. It was finally better.
"What's hysteria?"
Ma Yuehong patted him, who was in a daze, and said,
"Why don't you shell corn quickly to earn work points?"
"Our little monkeys are eating more and more. If you don't work harder, they may starve. "
Mu Baoguo smiled bitterly, then picked up the corn cob in the big dustpan and peeled off the corn kernels quickly and neatly.
Boss Mu and others were also around the two of them, talking to each other with smiles.
Zhang Chunmei glanced at Sanya inadvertently and found Sanya alone.
Others were gathered in families, talking and working at the same time. Only Sanya was working hard alone.
"Sanya!"
She waved to Sanya:
"Come to sister-in-law."
Sanya hesitated.
Xu Lanxin also waved to her:
"Come quickly!"
Liu Yan also echoed.
Sanya then dragged the dustpan and sat next to them.
Zhang Chunmei looked her over and said,
"I've grown taller and a little fatter."
Sanya's skinny bones used to be protruding, but now she has some flesh.
Sanya was shy and only smiled at her inwardly.
Ma Yuehong saw this and turned her head and said to Mu Baoguo:
"That time when the third child went to deliver chicken soup to Sanya, she found that the pickle dumplings the child ate were wild vegetable porridge, and there wasn't even much rice in the porridge."
"Aunt Chen the day before yesterday . Secretly told me that Xiong Dahua went to see Sanya once at night, and forced Sanya to hand over most of the food because of her past love for childbirth."
Mu Baoguo stared and was about to ask Sanya, but Ma Yuehong held him back. He:
"Why are you in a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet."
"No matter how bad Xiong Dahua is, she is also Sanya's biological mother. When they broke off the relationship, Sanya kowtowed to her three times, and now she has given her dozens of pounds of Food should be regarded as repaying the gift of childbirth."
"What's more, Sanya is a determined child. Later, Xiong Dahua came to her house to fight against the autumn wind, and she kicked him out."
Mu Baoguo frowned for a while. Then he said with some relief:
"This child can stand up, he is capable."
It's just not possible without food.
"Old lady, how about we help Sanya again?"
He said this with a bit of weakness.
There are many people in my family, so I have to plan carefully to avoid running out of food even if I have to go there once.
Fortunately, the fourth child is usually eaten in the factory, otherwise he would really not be able to afford it.
The two have been married for many years, but Ma Yuehong still doesn't know what he is thinking:
"Of course I have to help."
"It's just that Sanya won't accept it for nothing this time."
She looked at the red patch on the hill. He muttered:
"Well, we will go to the mountains soon to pick persimmons and make persimmon cakes. Then a few boys will go to the mountains to help. Beinian and Nanbao need someone to take care of them, so let Sanya take care of the two children."
"I won't give her any work points, but I'll take care of her food for the day."
