Chapter 43 43 It’s worth it

The next day, Barley and Wheat drove the chickens and ducks to the back mountain forest as usual.

However, the two sisters have agreed that no matter what happens, one person will be left to guard them to avoid being tricked again.

Although duck meat is delicious, they want to save duck eggs in exchange for food.

Xiao Xiya, who said she wanted to take revenge aggressively, ate a duck leg with her two new millet teeth. After a good sleep, she forgot about her hatred in Java and looked at the chickens and ducks swallowing their saliva.

Or he and his two sisters, Da Mi and Xiaomi, would play wildly in the yard. The little thing, who could not even walk, could climb up like flying and was very energetic.

Qian Xingfang came over to visit her when she had nothing to do, and she and Grandma Wu were pulling weeds in the shade of the backyard.

"I heard that two of your ducks were smashed to death?"

There are no secrets in the countryside. If someone’s family does something, the whole village will know about it in a short time.

Grandma Wu nodded and said, "It's a pity that the two ducks are full of eggs. The two girls, Barley and Wheat, who never cry, cried so much that they hiccupped."

Qian Xingfang frowned: "You really have no conscience. You can do such evil things without fear of retribution."

He cursed and comforted Grandma Wu: "Don't get too angry. I'll ask my family to pay more attention to this matter."

Grandma Wu smiled reluctantly: "I'm going to cause you trouble again."

Qian Xingfang said indifferently: "What's the point? This is what the old man should do."

"Don't blame my old man for being incompetent. There are so many things going on every day. He wants to protect everyone, but he doesn't have the energy."

Grandma Wu smiled and said: "How can we blame the captain? We have to guard against him day and night. Who can guard against people who intend to do evil?"

"It's also my fault that our family has too many grudges. Don't blame others."

Qian Xingfang sighed, it was not the Wu family that had many enemies, but those with shallow eyelids and pinkeye.

When others are prosperous, they dare not do anything. Once they are in decline, they quickly add insult to injury. What a villain.

Qian Xingfang stopped mentioning this issue: "By the way, I have something else I want to ask you for."

Grandma Wu smiled and said, "Why can I still ask? If you have anything to do, just say it directly. There is no need to be polite between us."

Qian Xingfang smiled: "I'm just waiting for what you said. Well, my daughter-in-law is pregnant. It's been three months, and I dare not tell anyone about it now."

"Calculating the days, I will probably be born in the twelfth lunar month."

"I was thinking that as the Chinese New Year is approaching, I need to celebrate it. I happen to have a piece of red cloth in my hand. I heard that you are good at embroidery. Could you help me embroider a quilt with the word "Fu" on it?"

Grandma Wu looked surprised: "Is the daughter-in-law of a strong country pregnant? That's a great thing. Okay, bring it over and I'll embroider it for you."

"But, doesn't your boss and the second boss know how to speak?"

Grandma Wu and Qian Xingfang get along well, they have less scruples when talking, and they can say some things casually.

Qian Xingfang waved her hands indifferently after hearing this: "It's okay. Cloth and cotton are both dowries from the youngest family. If the eldest and second family members want to ask their parents' families to give them to them as well."

"I am a person who is equal to a bowl of water. I have no habit of using this son's things to supplement the other son's habits. Whoever has the ability will enjoy the same blessing."

"When something happens, brothers should help each other, but you have to have a certain degree of restraint."

Grandma Wu nodded: "You are right to think so. You cannot break another son's heart for this son."

"Fingers have different lengths. We can't be completely fair, so we try not to get involved in matters between brothers and let them work hard on their own."

"Don't tell anyone how big of a bowl they are capable of, but help them at critical moments, so that the brotherhood can last forever."

Qian Xingfang should be.

The two talked again and agreed to send the things over another day when they were free and ask Grandma Wu to embroider them before leaving.

The wheat seedlings are getting taller and taller in the beginning of summer, and the flat fields are being prepared for planting rice seedlings.

Xiaoman is warm and springy, preventing aphids and wheat straw flies, topdressing rice fields to promote division, and fleece shearing to prevent cold winds.

There is little rain and high temperatures in the field of paddy rice, so corn seedlings are thinned and planted, buckwheat is planted with moisture, and rice fields are plowed and weeded frequently.

On a June day, the sun was blazing and extremely warm.

In the fields, everyone is covered in sweat, like rain.

Although there is a lot of work in the fields, Wang Shangui is worried that the members will be too tired and the weather will be too hot and fall ill in the fields.

So I usually work early in the morning, go home and rest for three hours at noon, and do some more work under the moonlight at night.

Zhao Lian and Wu Bo devoted themselves to making a good life for the five girls in the family and Grandma Wu, and they all worked hard.

When others were resting, they carried water from the river to water the fields.

This year, more corn was planted and it grew well. It was the hope of the whole family, and the couple worked hard to serve it.

Grandma Wu felt sorry for her son and daughter-in-law, and tried her best to make the food as good as possible.

The family has already eaten most of the pheasants, hares and the two ducks that were killed. Compared with previous years, when there was no trace of meat all year round, the standard of living this year is much higher.

Eating well and having enough to eat proves that their hard work has not been in vain.

So both adults and children are very happy even if they are tired.

At noon, Wu Bo and Zhao Lian came back from watering. They were all red from the heat and their faces were covered with sweat.

Grandma Wu hurriedly took out the mung bean soup and let it cool down: "Have a drink and have a rest. I've boiled hot water and I'll go wash up after I've rested."

"There's still a while before work starts. After washing, I'll go and take a nap. I'll call you when the time comes."

The couple should be fine.

Wu Bo looked at the little bud next to him with big black eyes, and hugged it on his lap with a smile.

"Xiya is getting better and better, why don't we take a nap with our sisters?"

"Ah..." Not sleepy.

The little meat dumpling was leaning on Wu Bo's arms, soft, well-behaved and cute.

Wu Bo kissed her chubby face, feeling satisfied.

Zhao Lian glared at Wu Bo and said, "I'm not tired enough. I don't know how to take a break. Give me the sprouts."

Without waiting for Wu Bo to respond, he took Xiya from his arms, put him on his lap, and kissed his little fleshy face.

"Do you think of your mother's little bud?"

"Ah..." I thought.

Rouduanzi nodded obediently, and Zhao Lian kissed the little fat man again on his beautiful face, which made him giggle with joy.

Wu Bo couldn't laugh or cry: "If you want to hug Xiya, just say so. Why are you beating around the bush?"

Zhao Lian glared at Wu Bo and ignored him.

Teasing Xiya and talking: "Dear baby, are you obediently listening to grandma at home?"

"Ahh..." Xiya is the best and most obedient.

As she spoke, she puffed up her small breasts and looked so stinky that Zhao Lian couldn't help laughing.

The little guy develops faster than other children of the same age in other aspects.

Only the vocalization seems a bit slow.

Children over half a year old can occasionally pronounce some words and syllables, but Xi Ya can only do it from beginning to end, which is very standard.

Fortunately, the family has been together for a long time, and everyone can easily guess what she wants to express when she says "ah" and her little expression.

But there is no way to continue like this.

Holding Xiya's chubby little paws, he taught her word by word: "Xiya, call me mother, mother, father, grandma, dear baby, call me."

"Ahhh..." Mom, dad, grandma.

Zhao Lian slowed down and taught again: "It's...Mother..."

"Ah..." The little guy cooperated and slowed down. The rhythm was right, but the pronunciation was completely different.

Zhao Lian wanted to continue teaching, and Wu Bo felt distressed.
