Chapter 44 44Crops destroyed

Wu Bo took Xiya from Zhao Lian's arms and hid his words slightly: "It's okay, don't worry, our Xiya is still young, it's normal to talk after one year old."

"Hey Yaya, be good. If you can't let it go, don't let it go. Our baby is so smart, he will be able to do it in the future, right?"

"Ah..." Yes, Xiya is smart.

Zhao Lian laughed angrily: "It is said that a loving mother often loses her son, so a loving father like you is no exception."

"I've only taught you a few words, and you're already in a hurry?"

Wu Bo smiled ingratiatingly, hugged Xiya and ran away.

Zhao Lian complained angrily to Grandma Wu: "Mom, look, how can there be a father who is so doting on his daughter? I didn't ask Xiya to do anything. I talk too much and I can't tire the little girl. As for protecting her like this?"

When the couple teaches their children, Grandma Wu never interrupts.

He smiled and said, "Don't get angry, Xiya is only over half a year old, so it's early."

"Look at her voice, she has no problem speaking."

Zhao Lian sighed softly, she was indeed anxious. Who made Xiya perform so well in other aspects, but her pronunciation made people anxious.

Grandma Wu smiled and advised: "Don't worry, go and take a rest. You have to work in the afternoon."

Zhao Lian stopped thinking wildly and said hello, simply washed up and entered the house.

On the bed, father and daughter hugged each other and were already snoring loudly.

Look at how silly they are, how could Zhao Lian be feeling sad or dissatisfied.

When the work bell rang in the afternoon, Wu Bo and Zhao Lian woke up instantly, and the little bud among them also woke up.

With his big dark eyes open, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

He raised his little feet and waved his little hands in preparation for getting up.

The couple couldn't help but kiss each other on her chubby little face.

Her little fleshy face was transformed by the kiss, and she couldn't help but giggle.

Grandma Wu shouted outside the door: "Stop teasing Xiya. Come and have a bowl of mung bean soup before going to work."

"Here we come," Zhao Lian responded. She took Xiya's little fleshy legs and peed her before the three of them went out.

I washed my face with cold water and sat under the eaves to drink mung bean soup.

Xiya, this little glutton, will eat everything.

Watch the parents drink and open their little mouths waiting to be fed.

Grandma Wu didn't let her eat more for fear that she would have a stomachache, so the young couple only dared to feed two mouthfuls each, cruelly ignoring the little guy's eyes.

Grandma Wu held Xiya in her arms and patted her little butt: "We are not greedy for that. When the rapeseed oil comes down, we can spread the milk for Xiya to eat. That one is delicious."

Xiao Xiya's eyes sparkled, and she poked her butt happily: "Ahhh..." Xiya wanted to eat a lot.

Grandma Wu smiled: "Okay, let Xiya's little belly be full."

The little guy is satisfied.

Wu Bo smiled and said: "The team leader was still doing statistics this morning and asked everyone if they need rapeseed oil and how much they need. It will be easy to report when the oil is sent to the commune refinery for oil extraction."

"I wanted to come back and ask Mom, but I forgot. Mom, how much does our family need this year?"

The harvest of rapeseed is the same as that of grain. Except for the part that is paid to the public, the production team arranges the rest by themselves.

Those who need oil are sent to the grain and oil factory for unified oil extraction.

If you don’t need it, you can just settle it into work points or exchange it for food at the end of the year.

According to normal conversion, oil is more expensive than grain, so most people are reluctant to eat vegetable oil and will exchange it for grain.

I eat cheap soybean oil at home.

Life in the Wu family was tight in previous years, and they had to take care of food rations, so they never asked for rapeseed oil.

Life is a little more comfortable this year, and Grandma Wu also wants her children to try it.

"I want half a catty. I think the rapeseed is good this year, and the oil extracted will definitely be good. I'll let the kids have a taste of it."

"Okay," Wu Bo responded and went to the ground with Zhao Lian.

The next day, not long after Wu Bo, Zhao Lian and Damai Xiao went out, Gao Xiuhong hurriedly came to call Grandma Wu.

"Girl of the Wu family, something bad happened, come out quickly."

Grandma Wu was so frightened by the shouting that her heart pounded: "What's wrong?" She hurriedly went out to greet him.

Rice, Xiaomi and Xiya who were playing in the yard also came over with their short legs.

Gao Xiuhong didn't care about teasing the child, grabbed Grandma Wu's hand and said: "I just went to weed the private plot and passed by your private plot."

"My dear, half an acre of corn in your family's private land has been kicked down from the roots. Not a single grain is left."

"What?" Grandma Wu exclaimed, her figure couldn't help but sway twice.

Gao Xiuhong hurriedly supported Grandma Wu and gave her a hand: "Sister, you have to hold still. Let's go to the fields first to see if there is any way to remedy the situation."

Grandma Wu nodded blankly, her mind went blank, and she followed Gao Xiuhong and stumbled towards the private plot, not even caring about the three children at home.

The three sisters, rice, millet and Xiya, looked at each other and took the lead with Xiya. The three of them, with their short legs, quickly chased after Grandma Wu.

Even though Xiao Xiya can use all four limbs at the same time, her speed is beyond the reach of the sisters Da Mi and Xiao Mi behind her.

When they arrived at their private land, many people had gathered around them, discussing the crops of the Wu family and calling them evildoers.

Seeing Grandma Wu, she looked sympathetic and quickly moved out of the way.

Grandma Wu walked through the crowd with shaking hands and looked at the ground at her home. Her legs went weak and she knelt down directly on the ground.

The corn stalks, which are nearly a person tall, are thick, strong, and lush green, indicating that they will have a good harvest at a glance.

Now, all of them were broken by human violence and fell to the ground.

There is no help.

These are the life-saving food for their family. They were watered by her son and daughter-in-law under the scorching sun with loads of water and blood and sweat.

It's so heartless. It's so heartless.

Grandma Wu was so distressed that she could not speak for a long time. She clutched her chest, her face was pale, her eyes were red, and her whole body was shaking.

Seeing that something was wrong, Gao Xiuhong hurriedly comforted Grandma Wu: "Sister, don't be anxious. You can't do anything in a hurry. Nothing is as important as your body. Relax."

The auntie who was watching the fun couldn't bear it and hurriedly came over to comfort her: "Yes, those who have lost their conscience will be punished. You can't vent your anger."

"If you think about it, you can spend your money and avoid disasters. It'll be fine. Dad and Mom are capable. They earn a lot of work points, which is enough to support your family. You won't go hungry. Don't be too anxious."

After everyone tried to persuade her, Grandma Wu finally calmed down and patted her chest with tears in her eyes: "What on earth did I do wrong to do this to our family? This is all the blood and sweat of my two children."

"On such a hot day, while others are sleeping at home, my two children carry water to water the house under the scorching sun."

"The sun peeled off layers of skin, and my son's legs were so painful that he couldn't sleep all night long."

"If there is a good harvest, but it turns out like this, won't that person's conscience feel pain?"

"If you have any grudges, come at me. Why do you treat people so badly? Why?"

It was the first time that the old lady showed such a desperate, painful and weak side in front of others, which made many people feel sad when they saw her.

Speaking of which, neither Grandma Wu nor Grandpa Wu nor the Jin family did anything to disgrace the Dalang Production Team, Heping Commune, or even Da'ao Town or Maolin County.

On the contrary, he made a lot of contributions to his hometown and the people.

But there are people who hate them.

As soon as the Jin family collapsed, people continued to target their orphans and widowers.

In the past years, she endured, she gave in, and she refused to admit defeat.

I thought I was over it, why did I start again now?
