Chapter 59 Jiang Miao, don’t...
Author: Mu Shenghua
Soon it was time for the villagers to go up to the mountains to pick peaches together.
Li Chunhua, the village chief's wife, called over early in the morning, so Yu Ying took out the basket early and asked Jiang Miao and Li Guihua to go up the mountain together, so that they could talk on the way.
Naturally, Cheng Huai and Li Dahu went to Dagui's house very early to help. Now that the trees have been cut down, all that's left is to carry mud and mix it.
When you get to the mountain, you can see a group of men with their trouser legs and sleeves rolled up walking quickly back and forth on the path.
Liu Qiaofeng followed behind. Seeing that the people in front were not leaving, she couldn't help but said loudly: "What's so interesting about this group of old men? Hurry up and go around and pick peaches!"
"Qiaofeng, your man is also in there, be careful to let him hear you." Someone joked with a smile.
Liu Qiaofeng shouldered the basket in her hand and said, "This old man doesn't have the fragrance of peaches yet, so hurry up and wait until the sun gets too hot."
Jiang Miao followed behind. Hearing the conversation of the women in front found it interesting and followed quickly.
After eating well and sleeping well during these days, her body bones have become much stronger, and climbing mountains is no longer as strenuous as before.
Seeing the busy people, Li Guihua couldn't help but sigh, "These days go by so fast. In the blink of an eye, most of the village chief's new house is completed."
"Yes, Dagui will marry a wife in a few months, so fast!" someone followed.
Li Guihua was a little envious, "I don't know when my tiger will get a wife."
Looking at Jiang Miao who was climbing the mountain seriously, the village chief's wife suddenly remembered and said: "I remember that Jiang Miao's cousin hasn't arranged a matchmaker yet, Osmanthus you can ask her."
Li Guihua glanced at Jiang Miao subconsciously. Jiang Miao had such a good temper. She wondered if her cousin was the same.
However, when she thought of becoming in-laws with Zhang Xiu, Li Guihua gave up the idea instantly.
He immediately smiled vaguely and said: "I'd better ask Huzi first, maybe he has someone in his heart."
Li Dahu and Cheng Huai are only two or three years apart in age. Now Cheng Huai has a wife and a baby, who is already two or three years old.
It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.
Jiang Miao quickly nodded in help. She didn't want to be neighbors up and down the slope with Jiang Mei in the future. It was scary to think about it.
When they arrived at the peach grove, everyone carried baskets and spread out, and Jiang Miao also went to a place where there were not many people.
Seeing that other people were eating peaches after picking them, she also picked one and ate it. It was slightly sour and slightly sweet, and tasted pretty good, but it didn't have much water content, so it felt dry and didn't quite quench her thirst.
But there were a lot of peaches, and there were quite a few hanging on every tree.
As he picked a basket full of ginger seedlings and was about to rest, he saw the ladies and aunts nearby starting to stuff peaches into their clothes.
Li Guihua also stuffed a lot. Seeing Jiang Miao in a daze, she quickly grabbed the peaches and stuffed them into her clothes, "Jiang Miao, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry and stuff two of them."
"Aunt Li, what are you doing?"
Li Guihua stuffed the peach into her waist and whispered: "Put it in your pocket and it's yours. The rest will be shared with everyone later."
The division will be divided, the block will be divided, and there will be no delay for each other.
Jiang Miao understood. No wonder some people brought both big and small ones to their families.
The peach grove is so big that it can't be picked all in a while. When the women are tired, they eat peaches and sit on the haystacks to chat about household matters.
When it was almost noon, and most of the peaches were still unfinished, the group of men working at the front came over.
Carrying a basket and sweeping large areas, I picked a lot of peaches in one go.
Cheng Huai carried two baskets and walked straight towards the ginger seedlings. Li Guihua immediately walked away, found Huzi and stuffed peaches on him.
The rough man was tall and straight, and blocked Jiang Miao's sight as soon as he walked over.
Jiang Miao narrowed her eyes and reached out to pull his trouser legs, "Cheng Huai, sit down and rest."
They have just finished picking mud, and now they have come to help pick peaches. They must be very tired.
There were many people taking a rest nearby, so Cheng Huai sat down and helped Jiang Miao block the sun.
Seeing him sit down, Jiang Miao took the peaches from the basket and stuffed them into his clothes, tearing them apart.
Cheng Huai's face was so hot from the sun that his whole neck was burning, and his voice was dry and hoarse: "Jiang Miao, please."
How could she take off his clothes in front of so many people?
Jiang Miao looked serious: "Cheng Huai, hide the peaches quickly. Mother hasn't come, so I can only stuff more into your clothes."
The man pursed his lower lip, sighed slightly, pulled open his clothes and let her stuff them inside.
When it was full, Jiang Miao stopped with satisfaction and helped him tie the belt of his clothes.
Cheng Huai suppressed his emotions and continued to pick peaches. Others also started to move one after another.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the village chief and his wife divided the peaches among each family according to the number of people in each family, and then asked everyone to go home and come back in the afternoon to continue helping.
Cheng Huai also divided his hands into two large baskets and carried them home with Jiang Miao.
Yu Ying had already prepared the meal, and when she saw the two of them coming back together, she looked happy and said, "We have shared so many peaches this year!"
Jiang Miao dug into Cheng Huai's sleeves and said, "Mom, there are more!" She grabbed two peaches and took them out.
Yu Ying was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "You are such a clever guy, you still know how to stuff peaches."
"Aunt Li taught me this. Seven or eight people went to someone else's house." Jiang Miao said quickly.
Yu Ying smiled and carried Tao Zi into the house, patted the two of them with a handkerchief, "Let's go eat quickly, we will continue to be busy in the afternoon, so I chopped two chicken drumsticks for you, and each of you will eat one."
"
"Mom, dad, eat meat!" Dabao turned his head and held up the bowl to show Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai.
Xiaobao ate so hard that his head was buried in his rice bowl and he couldn't get out of his mouth to call anyone.
There was chicken soup at noon, and two side dishes were fried. As soon as he sat down, Cheng Huai picked up a chicken leg and put it in the ginger seedling bowl, but he only picked up the side dishes.
Jiang Miao gave him the other one and said calmly: "Cheng Huai, I will go find you in the afternoon and water the water with you."
The man paused with his chopsticks, then picked up the chicken legs and started eating: "Okay."
Seeing him eating, Jiang Miao felt a little happier.
The rough man never thought about himself, so he would save every chicken leg for her and her mother to eat.
After taking a break at noon, Cheng Huai went out.
Jiang Miao got up after sleeping for a while and continued sewing clothes. Dabao and Xiaobao were still sleeping. When Yu Ying saw her waking up, she went to the backyard to do some work.
Until the evening, it was estimated that Cheng Huai would have finished his work at the village chief's house. Jiang Miao and Yu Ying said hello, took two peaches and ate them while walking, preparing to go to the mountain to find Cheng Huai.
When passing by Aunt Zhang's house, Aunt Zhang was holding her rice bowl and scolding the chicken thief as usual.
Catching a glimpse of Uncle Zhang in the room with his erratic eyes, Jiang Miao quickly walked around.
Uncle Zhang is really awesome. With just decades of experience in pretending to be blind and deaf, he will never be able to withstand such scolding.
