Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 153 Helping Planting Rice Seedlings

She turned her head and took a look: "It's Aunt Li's little daughter, Shen Lianmeng."

"I remember Aunt Li had three daughters."

Looking towards the paddy fields, I found Li Chunhong's figure. Her other two daughters were planting rice in the fields.

"Well, Aunt Li's three daughters are all good at embroidery."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "I heard you say that."

There is also Shen Zhuyue from Zhou Xiaoyu's family.

Shen Suya threw the bundled seedlings behind her: "Aunt Li's three daughters are having a hard time. They were even scolded by Uncle Xiaoxian at noon."

"Why are you scolding me?" She didn't hear it. It should have happened when she got home to cook.

"He complained that they were too slow in planting rice, and he cursed them with a lot of unpleasant words. The aunts couldn't stand it and tried to persuade them. Uncle Xiaoxian said they were meddling in other people's business."

"Several aunts were so angry that they said Aunt Li was too weak to stand up and let her husband beat and scold her."

She got along well with the three daughters in their family and couldn't bear to see them being beaten, but her mother didn't allow her to meddle in their affairs or go to play with them.

Ji Wenhe probably understood that Li Chunhong had been enduring it because she was afraid of being divorced and left with nowhere to go. What could she do?

And her daughter is not at home anymore, so her daughter might be sold.

Shen Xiaoxian knew that he didn't have the ability to divorce his wife and marry another one, so he beat and scolded his wife and daughter at home.

"Xiaoya, let me tell you, if you encounter something like this, you can't just keep silent about it."

"If he dares to hit you, just fight him. If you can't beat him, wait until he falls asleep at night and stand at the head of his bed with a knife. That will scare him to death."

Shen Suya said happily, "We just mentioned it when we were having dinner at the foot of the mountain in the east. Qingdai said that if anyone dared to bully her, she would beat them to death and would never tolerate being bullied."

Shen Qingdai's temperament is like Wang Erfeng's.

"That's it. People always bully the weak and fear the strong. The more you give in, the more they will push themselves."

Then Ji Wenhe shook his head helplessly.

"Aunt Li, be tough. You and your three daughters are on the same page. Are you afraid that you can't beat Shen Xiaoxian?"

"Sister-in-law, my mother also said that if Aunt Li suffers, her daughter will suffer as well."

"The aunts mentioned it once. Aunt Li is used to being beaten and scolded. I guess she doesn't dare to fight against Uncle Xiaoxian."

She hadn't spoken to the three sisters for a long time.

"Well, every family has its own problems, so let's just take care of ourselves."

Ji Wenhe wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and subconsciously looked at the arm that was rolling up his sleeve.

"My God, the sun is so strong."

She pulled up her sleeves and said, "Xiaoya, look, your arms have been tanned since this morning."

A very clear dividing line.

Shen Suya pulled open her trouser legs and sleeves: "Sister-in-law, look, I am the same."

Ji Wenhe quickly pulled down his sleeves and trouser legs: "Your face has finally become white again, don't let your body get tanned again."

"Never mind. If you get tanned you can get white again. It's too hot to put it down."

She didn't care. She usually covered it with clothes so no one could see it.

"I'm afraid of getting sunburned. Sunburn will cause the skin to peel."

After hearing this, Shen Suya also pulled down her trouser legs and sleeves.

Ji Wenhe carried the seedlings to the paddy field, then poured a bowl of water at the edge of the field.

He drank the water quickly and the whole jar was gone.

I took the jar home, refilled it, and put it back in its old place.

"Xiaoya, I can't stand it anymore. Go and take a rest in the shade."

She felt like she was about to have a heat stroke and had a headache.

Shen Suya swallowed her saliva, frowned and straightened up: "Sister-in-law, go and rest for a while."

There were four people planting rice in the field. If she went to take a rest, they would have no rice to plant in a while.

Ji Wenhe waved his hand: "I really can't do it anymore, go back and wash your face, I'll come over later."

I didn’t eat lunch and my head felt dizzy from the sun.

I washed my face with cold water when I got home and soaked my hands in the basin. The cool feeling dissipated some of the heat from my body.

He carried the basin into the house, sat on a small stool, and half-closed his eyes comfortably: "It's still cooler in the cave."

cool.

She was a little reluctant to leave the cave. She planned to buy a residential plot at the foot of the mountain, renovate the cave, and live in it in the summer. The thought of it made her feel great.

I stayed in the house for a long time, went to the kitchen to eat a piece of wild vegetable cake, drank a bowl of water, and then packed up and went down the mountain.

It was almost evening when Shen Wenshan came back.

"Sister-in-law, are you pulling up the seedlings by yourself?"

Ji Wenhe turned around and said, "Yes, Xiaoya went to the field to plant rice. Are you hungry? There is rice in the pot. Go back and have some."

He stood at the edge of the field, looking at the paddy field and said, "When will we finish working on our fields?"

"One morning, maybe. I'll go help Aunt Lan in the afternoon."

"I'll go help in the fields after dinner."

Ji Wenhe wiped the sweat off his face and said weakly, "Don't go. It's so tiring to go out and sell goods in such a hot day and run around everywhere."

"When you come back, you have to help plant rice. You have strength but nowhere to use it. Go home and rest. If you really can't rest, carry water from the puddle in the wasteland to water the vegetable field."

"That piece of land is now vacant. Plant some vegetables there in a couple of days. Then carry water and pour it into the puddle. Anyway, don't go and help."

She was worried that someone from the head of the village would come looking for her.

She turned her head and looked at him: "Go home, the headman's family is short of two people this year, and wanted to ask you to help plant rice, but I refused."

Shen Wenshan touched the back of his head sheepishly, smiled innocently and said, "Then I'll go change the water in the puddle. Sister-in-law, you're tired and take a rest."

Ji Wenhe waved his hand: "Go back, don't interfere with the things in the fields. Oh, pick up the quilt."

"I know, sister-in-law."

After he walked away, she sighed.

"When we have more land at home, we will pay people to come and plant rice at home."

worn out!

I used to yearn for the leisurely life in the countryside, but now I don’t yearn for it at all.

Looking at the large field of rice seedlings in front of me, I felt like crying but couldn’t even cry: “When will we finish pulling them out!!!”

In the evening, they went back to their own home to eat and refused to go to Lan Qiuhua's home.

At the dinner table, Ji Wenhe poked the rice with chopsticks, putting the brown rice grains into his mouth one by one, his whole body limp.

Shen Rongshan looked distressed: "Wen He, don't go tomorrow, I will go, you rest at home."

Shen Yuanshan agreed: "Yes, sister-in-law, if you don't go, Aunt Lan and the others won't say anything."

"I can't go even if I want to. There are no wild vegetables at home, and the chickens can't eat them. I have to go find some wild vegetables."

It was just right that she used this excuse not to help because she was really too tired.

He patted his waist and asked, "Brother Shen, does your waist hurt?"

He nodded: "It hurts, but I can bear it."

How can your waist not be sore after bending for a whole day?

Ji Wenhe pushed the rice in the bowl to him and said, "I can't eat. Drink some water. Let's see how things go tomorrow. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go."

Shen Rongshan stood up, took out a clean bowl, and poured a bowl of warm water: "Don't go, rest at home."

"Sister-in-law, brother, how about I stay at home tomorrow?" Shen Wenshan said.

"Don't." After taking a sip of water, she looked at him, "I told Aunt Qin that you guys need to go sell the goods, so I can't help with the housework."
