After Song Nanzhi brought Li Changfeng back from Li Dagang's house, they began to discuss the work in the world in the next few days. Finally, they decided to dig the red potatoes first, and level the ground while digging the red potatoes. When the wheat goes to the ground, the ground will It only takes a little plowing, and it doesn't take much effort. Li Changfeng can do it alone. He will level the land and then harvest the rice.
Song Nanzhi was not in good health, so he did not carry a hoe to dig red sweet potatoes after he went to the fields. First, he and Guo Minying cut the red sweet potato vines so that Li Changfeng and Li Changyu could dig the red sweet potatoes. After cutting for a while, Dong Biyu and Dong Biyu began to follow Li Changfeng. Behind Li Changyu, they wiped off the excess soil on the red potatoes dug out by the brothers and put them into the basket.
After picking up two baskets, Song Nanzhi, under Dong Biyu's arrangement, followed Li Changfeng in carrying red potatoes back home, and then stayed at home to pack up the braised pork and take care of the house.
The Li family's mother, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy working in the field talking and laughing. After a while, they heard someone saying hello on the roadside. They just said hello, and then they came to the field. Dong Biyu said thank you at the beginning. He said there was no need to bother people coming to help, but he couldn't stand their enthusiasm. It wasn't until the red potatoes in the field were almost finished digging that the people who came to help said they were going home!
With the help of others, the red potatoes in the ground were dug much faster. Dong Biyu and others went home early and did not sit around after returning home. Guo Minying went to the kitchen to help Song Nanzhi cook, and the two brothers Li Changfeng and Dong Biyu took the corn from home and peeled it.
Whether it was Dong Biyu, mother and son, or Guo Minying to Mo Tingyu, Song Nanzhi all talked about who in the village came to help! I can't stop talking about this. The Mo family has received help and care from many people in the village since their son and daughter-in-law's accident. On weekdays, there are many people in the village who see them helping out a lot. Back and forth, I went over what I had said and what I had not said in the past!
When talking in my spare time, I can talk from east to west, from west to north, and finally to south and back to east again! But as for the villagers coming to help, they said that everyone in the village except Mrs. Feng was easy to get along with. Not only was she easy to get along with, but she was also very enthusiastic.
I thought that the people who came on the first day were just dropping in, and it was a coincidence, but the second and third days were the same as the first day. The people who came to help were either dropping by or just happened to be free to help, and no matter it was half an hour Whether they come or come in the second half of the day, they all help me for a long time and then leave.
With people from the village coming to help, the Li family had to be busy at Mo's house for at least four or five days. On the third day, they collected all the rice and red potatoes from Mo's house, and the ground was even and tidy. All of them were peeled off, even the corn that had been piled up in the Mo family was peeled off.
Halfway through the third day, the Li family finished their morning work in the Mo family's fields. Li Changfeng carried the last load of wet and dripping rice, Li Changyu carried the threshing bucket, and Dong Biyu and Guo Minying carried some other bits and pieces back to Mo's house.
When he got home, Song Nanzhi was still drying the millet brought back from the fields in the yard. When he saw a few people carrying things back, he shouted: "Come and cool down in the house for a while. I have already cooled the water." , the bowl is also on the table." When Li Changyu picked up the rice for the last time, he said that there was still one last load.
Dong Biyu put the sickle down on the eaves wall and said, "We have saved a lot this year."
After hearing this, Song Nanzhi felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's not all thanks to your help, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do this year!"
Dong Biyu said: "What are you talking about? This year, thanks to the people in your village, there are people coming to help every day! It's like it's been agreed upon, everything happens when you pass by, when you drop by, when you happen to be free, it all happens by chance. !" Then he continued: "Li Yougui came to help me just now, and said that her mother was wrong a few days ago, and asked you and your father-in-law not to get angry with her mother."
Song Nanzhi said: "If you say that both Yougui and Chunxia are real people, Mrs. Feng is very evil if she doesn't live a good life. She will bring trouble to even a good family."
Dong Biyu said: "We all live with our faces to the loess and our backs to the fields. We can't finish the work in the fields all day long. She is the only one who still has free time and gossips about others." After saying that, he paused and continued. Then he said, "When I was a young girl, I thought she had a bit of a personality, but now she is exactly like her damn mother, lazy and unreasonable."
While the two were talking, Song Nanzhi also pushed away the rice that Li Changfeng had brought back and dried it in the yard. After drying it, he turned around and went up the steps, turned and walked to the kitchen, saying: "I'll fetch water, you guys." It’s a good idea to take a shower and cool off!”
After fetching water to wash away the sweat of the four members of the Li family and sitting down in the house, Mo Ziyuan put four bowls of cold chrysanthemum water into the hands of the four of them, and shouted to each other with a smiling face: "Grandma, drink it." Water!" "Uncle, drink water!" "Second uncle, drink water!" "Auntie, drink water!"
Guo Minying took the water handed over by Mo Ziwan and drank it in two or three gulps. After finishing the drink, she put the bowl down and held Mo Ziwan in her hand, "Why didn't I give birth to a daughter as well-behaved as Yuan Wan. "
Dong Biyun gave birth to three sons and two daughters. The eldest son Li Changfeng and the second son Li Changyu are now fathers, and the younger son Li Changliang will soon be a father.
Li Changfeng and Guo Minying have two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Li Linsong is ten years old, the second son Li Linbai is also a son, he is seven years old this year, and the third son Li Xiaohui is a girl who is also six years old.
Li Changyu also has a pair of children. The eldest, Li Xiaolan, is his sister, who is also eight years old. The second eldest, Li Linyu and Mo Ziyuan, are the same age, but their temperaments are thousands of miles apart.
The eldest daughter also gave birth to a son and two daughters after marrying, and it was the younger daughter who married into the Mo family. What the two elders of the Li family often lamented was that what they valued at that time was that the Mo family had a simple population and was good at everything except the married ones. A little further away, Dong Biyu and the old man Li Dashan were very satisfied.
And after their youngest daughter married into the Mo family, Dong Biyu and Old Man Li were even more satisfied when they saw that their youngest daughter was as comfortable in her husband's family as she was in her mother's family. They didn't even notice the distance they had disliked at the beginning. Far, why? The son-in-law takes his daughter back to his parents' home every two months or a month, and he always brings something with him. He never comes back empty-handed.
But who would have expected that this series of things would happen later. Although things happened, there were still people in the Mo family, and they had to recognize them.
Their son-in-law, youngest daughter and granddaughter had accidents one after another, leaving them without three relatives at once. Fortunately, the Li family's descendants were still prosperous. They had a lot of grandsons, granddaughters, grandsons, and granddaughters. No matter how sad they felt, they still couldn't bear it. There are others to comfort you! It's a pity that the two elders of the Mo family are all alone. This is another reason why they still recognize the Mo family.
After learning about Mo Ziwan's life experience, they actually felt relieved. Mo Ziwan's arrival at least gave them some hope for their lives.
As I watched Mo Ziyuan grow up, I was not only happy for them, but also envious. Although they have a lot of grandchildren, no matter whether they are big or small, they can't be this chosen granddaughter. The older one wants to run out and play all day long. When the younger one can run, he will follow the older one and run out to play. The younger one who can't run will not follow him, but he must leave someone at home to guard him. Anyway, none of them are worry-free.
So it's no wonder that Guo Minying wanted to have someone as obedient and obedient as Mo Ziwan, who would make people worry-free. After her words, Dong Biyu joked: "I don't ask you to give birth to a child just like Wan Wan. I would burn incense if it is half of Wan Wan."
Li Changyu, on the other hand, was even more low-key. He took over her mother's words and said: "I can fall asleep and wake up laughing half the time." Then he frowned and said: "You don't know who to follow. You don't know who to follow. You don't rest all day long." An old man chases chickens and dogs, and if the stick at home is broken, he will be unable to control him."
When Li Changyu talked about his youngest son, Dong Biyun also had a sad look on his face. Although there were many children in the family with different temperaments, one thing was that they could all remember spankings.
Farmers often say that good people come out of a stick. If you don't obey, you should greet them a few times. If you greet them and still don't listen, then you can only serve them with a big stick. A few beatings will be enough, so the children in the village will talk about being beaten when they are young. Come on, I can't tell you how many times I've been beaten since I was a child.
Everything is not necessarily absolute, there are exceptions, and my grandson is an exception. Although he is only four years old, he can understand everything he says, but he is very stubborn. Whether it is good or bad words, if he does not want to hear them or does not follow his ideas, not only will he not listen, but he will cry. One day, no matter whether it was coaxing with kind words, threats, or serving with sticks, nothing worked! No matter how hard the beating was, just like Li Changyu said, even if the stick was broken, he would not listen.
Mo Tingyu could only say with relief: "The eucalyptus is still small, it will be better if it is bigger." After that, he talked about Zhao Cheng'an from the village, "Cheng'an used to be so stubborn that he couldn't pull back a cow when he was young. , then I became sensible as I got older, and now that I have a family, I am not only sensible, but also considerate of my family."
Zhao Chengan also stopped by to help in the fields this time, and Dong Biyu also recognized him. After hearing this, he said: "It's hard to tell."
Mo Tingyu smiled and said, "That boy was famously stubborn in the village when he was young."
After listening to what her uncle Li Changyu said, Mo Ziyuan said: "Let the eldest brother bring the younger brother to our house. I will teach the eldest brother to read, and I will also bring the younger brother to teach him to be obedient." She is half a year older than Li Linyu, and this sister That's right.
Li Changyu didn't think much about it, and just agreed casually: "Okay, I will send your brother over when I get back, and you will help my uncle take care of him from now on." Although he said this, he did not take it seriously. , First of all, the life of the Mo family is difficult, and eating for two more people will waste a lot of food. Besides, now that Uncle Mo has injured his leg again, Aunt Song is the only one in the family who is busy with everything. If you want to send over the delicious food from home again, isn't this causing trouble?
