265: Harvest Wheat
Xu Yan was a little moved when she heard this. Who wouldn't want to make more pocket money? Especially, this man in her family is a good at stinging money.
Anyway, they have their own shops, so they won’t suffer any major losses whether they are good or bad.
Thinking of this, Xu Yan's eyes fell on her second brother-in-law.
"Yes!" The second brother-in-law looked at Xu Yan's gaze, looking like he was about to try, and couldn't help but smile. "I won't be too tired when I bring it to you!"
"What's so tiring to buy a vegetable?" Before Xu Yan could speak, Zhou Hongmei spoke.
Second brother-in-law: "..." It's not a problem to settle accounts and collect money? The business is too good, and her wife will suffer too! However, she offended her mother-in-law, so her second brother-in-law still chose to shut up smartly.
Turning around, he saw Xu Lin and his child's aunt standing aside and laughing. The second brother-in-law also laughed and waved to Xu Lin with a smile, "Xiao Wu, come here!"
Xu Lin looked at the smile on her second brother-in-law's face, and for some reason, subconsciously shivered, so she dared not to approach him? Seeing him waved to him, Xu Lin felt that she seemed to have seen an evil ghost, and hugged her sister-in-law. Then she felt that it was useless to hold her sister-in-law, so she decisively turned to Xu Yan's arms.
Second brother-in-law: “…”
Fortunately, he had doubted the authenticity of what Wu Suhong said before. Now, looking at the little girl's guilty reaction, what else do you don't know?
"Come on, I have something to ask you, why am I selfish and unprofitable? What else am I doing? I'm so pretty..."
Xu Lin obviously didn't expect that after so long, her second brother-in-law would have to settle the score with him, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Second brother-in-law, who... who said that?" Xu Lin hugged her second sister tightly. The little girl knew very well. The only one who could make her second brother-in-law give up the revenge of her was his wife's second sister. "Second brother-in-law, you are tall and mighty, and you are beautiful, and you love your wife. Otherwise, how could my second sister have such a high-minded personality choose you? If my second sister chooses you, it can prove how outstanding you are!"
After a round of flattery, my second brother-in-law felt relieved. With a wave of his hand, he let Xu Lin off with great generously.
Xu Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and blinked at her sister-in-law, look, she said those words for him, but now she is here to settle the score with her, and she has to let herself say some insincere words.
Lin Baoxiu looked at Xu Lin's playful appearance and couldn't help but smile.
"Dad, can all the wheat in the family be harvested? When will our family collect it?" Without joking with Xu Lin, my second brother-in-law restrained his expression and looked at Xu Jianguo who was preparing the tools.
"Can I accept it!" Xu Jianguo said, "Many people have already started today!"
"Then let's go and collect it in the afternoon!" said the second brother-in-law, finishing his early and resting early.
Xu Jianguo: "Don't worry, Xu Zhou will come back tonight and take him together tomorrow!"
Second brother-in-law: "..." My father-in-law is such a good father. He never forgot to wait for Xu Zhou to come back when harvesting wheat.
In fact, Xu Zhou himself was also very energetic. On the way back, he told Han Qianyu that this should be able to catch up with the family to harvest wheat.
Han Qianyu had just entered high school. Before, he had busy farming holidays. Whether it was harvesting wheat or corn and rice, he was very experienced, so he couldn't understand why Xu Zhou was so excited.
"You don't understand!" Xu Zhou said. When he was in junior high school, he didn't work much even after holidays. He either went to the river to fish or catch shrimps. He was famous for his hard work in farming. He was also trying to improve everyone's food. In fact, he did not do much work.
As his parents spoiled him, he himself did not have this consciousness. He finally made a comeback and naturally wanted to change his impression in everyone's mind. Well, he is also a hard-working person. Isn't he just going to work in the fields? He can do it.
Han Qianyu: "..." Let's wait and see!
As soon as Xu Zhou got home, he received the sickle that Xu Jianguo gave him.
Xu Zhou: “…”
Xu Jianguo: "I prepared it specifically for you, and I will sharpen my strength!"
Xu Zhou: "...thank you!"
The family looked at him and smiled, looking forward to his performance tomorrow, only Lin Baoxiu was full of worries. This is a person who cut a few bamboos and soaked his hands. When harvesting wheat, isn't she as experienced as her?
In this case, Lin Baoxiu was afraid that Xu Zhou would be hurt, so he was embarrassed to say it out. He just made up his mind to go with him tomorrow. With her help, he could be slower.
Unfortunately, Xu Zhou was not grateful and asked her to stay at home to clean up.
Lin Baoxiu: “…”
When Xu Zhou was ready to go out, everyone else's eyes fell on him.
He wore a straw hat and long-sleeved trousers on his head, which was fine, but he also had a torn shirt on his face.
Zhou Hongmei: "..." Her son was afraid that he wasn't going to make fun of it.
Xu Jianguo: "..." I shouldn't have much fantasy about him!
Second brother-in-law: "..." Oops, the package is tighter than my wife.
Xu Yan wearing a mask: "..."
"Cough cough cough..." Xu Zhou felt depressed by everyone's eyes, and then coughed twice, insisting on calm explanation: "I'm not afraid of sunlight, really, I'm afraid of itchy!"
Everyone above: "..." I believe your evil!
Xu Zhou: “…”
These days, fewer and fewer people are willing to listen to the truth.
Just as they were about to set off, they found someone standing at the door.
Everyone was stunned when they saw that person.
This person is nothing else, but Xu Yue's man - Tao Yong.
Tao Yong was a little embarrassed by everyone's incredible gaze. During the autumn harvest last year, he agreed to come and help, but Xu Yue and the others hid at home until it was almost over before coming. In the end, they didn't do anything and even ate a stomach full of food.
"My mom and dad, I'll come here to help!" Thinking of the past, Tao Yong blushed a little, coughed, cleared his throat before saying seriously.
"Oh, there are so many people in our family, so how can you help me!" Zhou Hongmei reacted first and said to Tao Yong, "You have land at home. This year is different from previous years. Only you and Xu Yue are busy. Maybe when you are busy, you can go home quickly..."
"It's okay, mom!" Tao Yong knew what Zhou Hongmei was going to say, and quickly said with a smile, "There are few people and few land. Yue'er slowly harvests it at home. I will help you for one day and go back tonight. My family has more than two acres of land and you won't have to worry about harvesting!"
Tao Yong made up his mind that no matter what Zhou Hongmei said, he would not go back.
Zhou Hongmei had no choice but to go together.
In the end, except for Xu Lin and Lin Baoxiu who were left at home, the rest, plus the old lady, a total of seven people, went to the field. This lineup can be said to be very powerful.
Lin Baoxiu and Xu Lin were not idle either. They didn't allow them to go to the field, so the sister-in-law and sister-in-law decided to go to the town. The family worked hard and they couldn't help with anything. At least they had to make something delicious.
Neither of them can ride a bicycle, and the ready-made bicycles at home are useless, so my sister-in-law and sister-in-law can only walk to the street.
It was already very hot in June, and the two of them walked fast again. After a while, they were sweating profusely.
There are quite a few people going to the town, and maybe their ideas are similar to theirs. Now we harvest wheat immediately, so we have to eat some good food.
Lin Baoxiu and Xu Lin went to the town, bought meat, fish, and ribs. For Lin Baoxiu, who has always been used to frugality, it can be said that it is a big deal.
Xu Lin felt so painful when she watched from the side, instead of not willing to spend money on these things for her family to eat, she was not used to spending money so generously.
So, looking at Lin Baoxiu's expressionless appearance, Xu Lin could be said to be very impressed. Sure enough, she was not as good as her sister-in-law in making clothes, and she was not as good as her sister-in-law in spending money.
A powerful person is amazing no matter what he does.
However, Xu Lin's thoughts were a little shattered after she returned home.
At this time, when my sister-in-law and sister-in-law were buying good things and were about to go back, they saw a bunch of people gathered together.
Xu Lin took a curious look, and after seeing clearly who was selling what, her face changed.
"So shameless!"
It turned out that this person was nothing but Lin Baozhu, and the things she sold were nothing else, the kind of masks she bought in Xu Lin before. Of course, the workmanship was not as good as Lin Baoxiu. Xu Lin only took a look and began to dislike him. Xu Lin didn't understand why those people bought such bad things.
It was not until Xu Lin heard about the price that she understood a little. How good can she expect to be for two cents each?
At this time, Lin Baozhu seemed to have noticed them. Not only did she not feel guilty, she smiled proudly at them.
When Xu Lin saw it, she was so angry that she was immediately angry.
"Sister-in-law, why is she so bad!" Xu Lin withdrew her gaze, looked at Lin Baoxiu, and said in a low voice, "It's all my fault. If I don't sell it to her, she will not be able to imitate it!"
Lin Baoxiu didn't take it seriously. She didn't do it herself and didn't let others do it anymore? Besides, it costs two cents per person. Even if Lin Baozhu made this, it was a little simpler than the one she made, but it also wastes a lot of fabrics. After careful calculation, she doesn't make much money at all.
"Let's go, let's go home!"
"...Okay!" Xu Lin glanced at her sister-in-law. Seeing that she really didn't look angry, she smiled again. She turned around and prepared to go home with her sister-in-law, but saw a stall selling watermelons. Xu Lin's eyes lit up and pulled her sister-in-law's sleeve. She said excitedly but quietly: "Sister-in-law, there are people selling watermelons!"
Lin Baoxiu looked at the meat and ribs in her hand, and glanced at the fish in Xu Lin's hand, feeling a little embarrassed, "If you buy watermelon, you have to help me carry another rib!"
"I'll hug the watermelon!" Xu Lin said with shiny eyes. When they came back from harvesting wheat, they would definitely be happy to see the big watermelon.
Seeing Xu Lin so excited, Lin Baoxiu pulled someone over and picked a big watermelon. After all, there were many people in her family and the purchase was small, so everyone was not happy to eat.
Lin Baoxiu naturally did not let Xu Lin hold the big watermelon for more than ten kilograms, but asked her to help lift the ribs, and then walked forward with the watermelon and meat by herself.
"Hey, sister-in-law, please let me hug you!" Xu Lin couldn't help but chase after her sister-in-law and said anxiously.
"No!" Lin Baoxiu said with a smile, "I just sweat easily! This is not heavy at all to me!" It's different for you!
Of course, in order not to stimulate the little girl, Lin Baoxiu did not say the last sentence.
"Let's go, when I'm tired of holding it, you can help me change it!" Lin Baoxiu said.
Xu Lin: "...Okay!"
After leaving, he walked to the entrance of Taoyuan Village. Xu Lin talked all the way, and Lin Baoxiu finally exchanged the watermelon for her.
Because Lin Baoxiu's arms were a little stiff because she kept holding Xigua, she quietly shook it several times before she could recover her consciousness.
After taking the fish and ribs from Xu Lin's hand, the two walked home together.
Xu Lin, holding the watermelon, realized how hard it was to her sister-in-law along the way, but she said nothing more than that. She was so heavy that she could hardly hold her.
After finally getting home, she almost threw the watermelon. Fortunately, her sister-in-law was quick-witted and quickly. At the critical moment, she reached out and held it under her, so she didn't let the watermelon roll down from her arms.
"You're tired, hurry up and wash your face and sit there for a while!" Lin Baoxiu took the watermelon and put it by the well, and said to Xu Lin.
"Yeah!" Xu Lin responded and came over to help fetch water.
Lin Baoxiu didn't let her reach out and put all the fish and meat himself, so she came over to fetch water.
Lin Baoxiu poured a bucket of water into a washbasin to wash Xu Lin's face first, and then a bucket of water was placed in a large bucket to cool the watermelon. When they came back, the watermelon was delicious.
Xu Lin didn't rush to wash her face, but took Lin Baoxiu's towel, passed through the cool well water, and helped Lin Baoxiu wipe her face first.
Lin Baoxiu's face, which was sun-red, was covered by a wet towel, and couldn't help but sigh comfortably.
Alas, these good days have been too long and people have become spoiled.
It was obvious that last year, hoeing in the fields in the big summer was not as difficult as it is now.
Chapter completed!
