Chapter 241
Chapter 241
After Xianyu pushed her for a long time, the old lady behind sat on a stone and slowly peeled the shells and ate them. Tasting the taste of the eggs, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
In fact, at the beginning, she wanted to love her eldest son more, after all, he was the first one, and she was careful no matter what.
The youngest son thinks he has experience, and he has to deal with many things more roughly.
At first he didn't think so, but after the eldest son married his wife, he only thought about Liu Chunhua in everything, and the old lady remembered how she had neglected her elder brother.
But now the youngest son is much more ignorant than her eldest son, and even thinking about leaving an egg for her.
But what about her eldest son who has always been in love with her?Because he said a few words about his wife, he could point at his mother's nose and scold him, blaming himself for treating her harshly.
No matter whether it is placed in the old era or the current new era, the act of treachery after getting married and running away with others is disgusting.
"Yuko, it was my mother who was sorry for you before."
The old lady swallowed the eggs, and she burst into tears as she spoke, and wiped them casually with her sleeve, disdainful in a low voice.
"The wind is so strong that the sand is blowing into my eyes."
"Mom, why are you sorry for me? You are so kind to me. Go and ask how many people in the village don't envy me for having such a good mother."
After Xianyu finished speaking with a smile, he started to fight pigweed and asked the old lady to rest for a while.
The original owner was repairing the embankment due to the rain some time ago, wearing a bamboo hat, he still got caught in a lot of rain, and he started to have a fever when he came home at night, and Xianyu still feels weak.
Originally, repairing the embankment was done by the eldest of the family, and the eldest's centimeters were also recorded, but that night Liu Chunhua said that she was afraid of thunder, and Xian Jianguo persuaded the original owner to go.
"You haven't recovered from your illness yet. Go sit and ask mother to come. Mother has strength now after eating an egg."
The old lady stood up and took the things from Xianyu's hand. She moved very quickly when she was working. Seeing that she was persisting, Xianyu went to the river to get some weeds for ducks and geese.
"You, you should take a good rest now."
On the way home, the old lady snatched all the things and took them by herself, leaving only Xianyu to take a sickle.
The originally happy mood came to an abrupt end when she saw the boss and his daughter-in-law who were sitting in the room and hadn't started work yet. The old lady asked with a cold face, "Aren't you going to work? Don't you want a centimeter? Or you guys?" Stop eating?"
Xian Jianguo knew that the request he made was a little unreasonable, but thinking of what he had just seen, he pursed his lips and said, "Mother, Chunhua's skin is sunburned, why don't you let my brother go to the hospital this afternoon?" Well, she is too tired to plant rice seedlings, and she can't bear the spring flowers."
The old lady was so angry that she threw the things in her hands on the boss's face, stood there panting heavily, pointed at the boss's nose and cursed: "Bah, do you really think this is the rich lady in the city?" ? Sunburn? I've never heard of this stuff in my life!"
"Let me go, how thick-skinned do you have to be to say this? Your parents have never heard you care about it once in their whole life, and it's your daughter-in-law's turn to be overwhelmed by hard work?"
"Your little brother's work was done by me and your father before, but I didn't ask you to help. It's okay if you don't want to do it. Don't eat tonight, you're hungry!"
After saying this, the old lady went out with the hoe on her shoulders.
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Xianyu not to be too tired from working, and also gave him the key to his room, telling him to go to the cabinet to get a piece of pancake to eat when he was hungry.
The old lady can actually understand that her son's mind is on his wife after marriage, but her son can't remember his parents at all.
She also admitted that she didn't like Liu Chunhua before, she just couldn't like such a daughter-in-law, but now she has to send Yuko to work, the old lady wished she hadn't given birth to this son.
Sitting in the courtyard, Xianyu slowly cut the pigweed into small pieces with a knife, even if Liu Chunhua over there was aggrieved and wept on his elder brother's shoulder, he pretended not to see it.
While chopping pigweed, he was looking forward to becoming the best farming father in the whole village after his family's cubs came over.
"Xianyu, you go to work for your sister-in-law in the afternoon, and tell your mother that you are willing, and my mother will not say anything about you."
The pigweed was half chopped, and when he heard the order from over there, Xianyu raised his head and took a look.
"You have to say this to your mother again."
"Chopping pig grass is so hard, your sister-in-law will do it for you."
"Xian Jianguo, listen to yourself, does this sentence sound true?"
Xianyu rolled his eyes and continued to do his own work. Planting rice seedlings would be so exhausting all day long that he couldn’t straighten his waist. After chopping pig grass, he would make pig food and send it to the place where their brigade raised pigs. Time to play by yourself.
The original owner loves to be lazy, but Xianyu has always been lazy when he can, and now it is purely because the situation does not allow it.
At that time, the high fever took two days to subside, and I only drank some medicine casually. Even if the old lady had two eggs a day, my body still did not recover.
Asking him to plant rice seedlings in the field, Xianyu doubted that he could throw himself into the field.
Her body was already so uncomfortable that she had to do things as usual, not to mention that Liu Chunhua was simply sunburned.
Sunburns were certainly avoidable in peaceful times, but not so much these days.
In addition, in the original plot, Liu Chunhua was not afraid of sunburn at all, but she was afraid that she would not look good after being tanned, and she didn't want to be like those rural women with yellow and dark skin in the village.
Xian Yu felt very uncomfortable when he saw this episode when he received the plot, belittling the skin color of working women to promote his fair skin and delicate appearance, just like comparing with a general whose waist is softer.
It can be compared, but it is completely unnecessary and even insulting.
At this time, what is emphasized is that labor is the most glorious, and the old lady is often proud of her traces of being exposed.
Xianyu himself was busy there, and Xian Jianguo next to him was full of comforting Liu Chunhua, and he never thought that his younger brother went for him at the beginning, and he had to do so many things after recovering from a serious illness, so he needed help.
When the old lady came back that night, she could clearly see that the yard had been cleaned up. With her toes, she knew that it couldn't be done by the old people, so it could only be her youngest son.
The old lady spent the whole afternoon thinking about why she felt that the eldest was better at the beginning. The younger son was obviously well-behaved and hardworking, but she was still thinking about the old couple in her heart.
"Yuko, let's have something good tonight. After working for such a long time, I'm really tired and flustered."
After hearing what the old lady said, Xianyu came out, took the things they were holding, and brought out the water that had cooled down a long time ago.
Young people feel tired after planting rice seedlings all afternoon, let alone two elderly people of this age.
Xianyu feels that his body will recover almost tomorrow, and he should be able to go to the fields with him to plant rice seedlings by then.
Originally, he wanted to cook the rice by the way, but the original owner didn't know how to do this, so he had to take his time and let the old lady teach him when he finds a chance next time.
"Mom, you and dad are thirsty. Come and drink some water. I'll give you back the key. The pancakes were brought to you for my aunt's birthday. How can I be so greedy?"
Liu Chunhua in the room over there panicked when she heard this, she wanted to eat it before.
Those were pancakes bought in the city, and she only watched others eat them in her previous life.
"You boy, it's useless to give you a chance. Wait, I'll get you something delicious tonight."
Although the old lady is not young, she is still very clear-headed and shrewd. When she took her youngest son to hunt pigweed in the afternoon, she could see that his youngest son walked lightly and had little strength.
After burning for such a long time, there was nothing in the house that could give him a good supplement. On the way home, she and her old man made up their minds, and felt that it was not impossible to have a little extravagance for the three of them to eat at night.
He cut off some bacon hanging from the beam, and took out a small bag of flour from his locked cabinet, and quickly opened it in the kitchen.
"Yuko, let's eat dumplings tonight."
The old lady was very willing to put the flour this time. It was brought by her eldest sister when she came to see her last time, and she kept it in the cabinet and was reluctant to eat it.
"Okay, mother, I'll help you pack."
After Xianyu washed his hands, he went to pick up the noodles. The old lady cooked the bacon and cut it into thin slices. She took a piece and fed it to her son, letting him taste it.
"How is it? Is it delicious? It's not your mother's bragging, your mother's skill in making bacon, there are few people in ten miles and eight villages can match it."
"It's really fragrant, ma'am."
After the dumplings were cooked, the old lady took only three bowls, and seeing the eldest son and his daughter-in-law sitting in the yard, she called the old man to the kitchen to eat.
"You old man is not afraid of being hot."
"Father, eat slowly."
Even if the family celebrates Chinese New Year, they may not be able to eat dumplings. Flour is too expensive, and in the eyes of the old lady, it is not as cost-effective as coarse grains.
Coming back from the hard days of not having enough to eat, what she thought about every day was just to fill her stomach, and she didn't care about the taste.
"Mom, it's fine if you don't let me eat it. At least let Chunhua eat some. You don't want people in the village to say that you abused your wife on purpose."
The old lady was so angry that she calmed down, chewing on the dumplings, and rolled her eyes through a door.
"Go ahead and say it now, and see how many people in the village believe it. You still want to eat if you don't get paid for work? Go drink the northwest wind!"
"Didn't he do it, little brother?"
Xianyu froze while eating, and subconsciously turned left to look at his father, then turned right to look at his mother.
"The old man and I helped him with Yuko's work. I'm happy to let him eat. I'm thinking about something your old aunt sent over all day. I really don't know how to be ashamed."
After saying this, the old lady didn't bother to talk to this bad son anymore, and instead mentioned something she heard when she was at work today.
"I heard that there is a child in our village who is coming back."
