Chapter 353 Thank you Huahua
Chapter 353 Thank you Huahua
"Okay, thank you. Xie Yao, follow Ruan Ruan and push the cart."
"Brother, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go push it."
Before Xie Yao stood up, Xie Gang stood up first. It’s his younger brother’s turn to do the hard work!
Hey! It's so obvious that Xie Hu's teeth are almost broken. Why can't he flatter?
He always gets the first chance!
At noon, we ordered four dishes, a bowl of egg soup and two pounds of dumplings. The six of us were very full after eating. It was really too much. Taking it away was just a joke. We still tried to finish it as much as possible!
"Ouch, I'm so full~ burp~"
Xie Hu walked slowly with his stomach bulging as he digested the food. In the end, that stinky guy insisted that he had ordered the chicken stewed with ground beans, so he had to finish cleaning that dish...
At first they were fighting over the food, then you ate yours and I ate mine, and finally this is yours and this is yours too...
Obviously, the two of them discussed ordering this dish together, but he has never won in the eloquence competition for so many years, so he ate too much.
The six of us pushed the cart back slowly. The rain had completely stopped and the sun was even showing signs of coming out.
"Why don't we hurry up? Yesterday I heard my dad say that if it doesn't rain today we have to gather together to shell peanuts."
Xie Yao heard what his father said. After planting the wheat, it was time to prepare the peanuts. The peanuts were reserved for planting, so someone had to be arranged to peel them.
This is the work of the female educated youth in the next few days. If they want to catch up with the schedule, they will definitely have to work overtime.
Fortunately, the rain started in the morning, otherwise no one would have the chance to make this trip today.
After all, after shelling the peanuts, you have to plant them, and after planting you can’t rest, because there are still corns waiting to be shelled…
If I were to say what's better here than other places, it's that it's too cold in the winter to work, so I can rest for more than four months...
The rest of the days are actually the same, all working with your face to the earth and your back to the sky. After finishing one task, there is always the next one waiting. Basically, all the crops that can be mentioned are planted, and they are dozens or hundreds of acres.
When they heard what Xie Yao said, they all quickened their pace. No matter if they were male or female educated youth or villagers, everyone had a certain amount of work to do. If they worked slowly, they would have to work overtime, and no one wanted to work overtime.
The solution for not wanting to work overtime is to go home earlier and start working earlier!
When Xie Gang arrived at the entrance of the village, he suddenly remembered that he still had an elder sister who had not been taken care of properly...
"Brother, you guys go first, I have to go deliver my eldest sister's things first"
Xie Gang took out two bags of snacks and quickly ran to his grandmother's house. His grandmother's house was to the west of the Red Star Brigade. It would take at least 20 minutes to walk there, so he had to hurry.
Qian Erniu didn't know if he would come back when Xie Duoduo left. If he didn't come back, he would have to do her work...
The door to his grandmother's house was open. Xie Gang saw that everyone was at home, so he started calling for help before anyone even entered the house.
"Grandma~ I'm here to see you, grandma~"
An old lady with bound feet came out in a grey coat. Her clothes were clean and her silver hair was neatly combed. But her legs were not very flexible so she used a crutch.
"My eldest grandson is here, come in quickly, my little Huahua is talking to you today"
Because his grandparents only have one daughter, his mother Xie Chunhua, so they call him the eldest grandson. His grandparents died a long time ago, so no one complained about this matter.
The old lady took Xie Gang's hand and pulled him into the house, taking things out of the cupboard, melon seeds and candies left over from the Chinese New Year, half a bag of peach cakes and candied corn cakes...
"Grandma, don't take it. My mom asked me to bring it to you. Look, this is the new peach cake I bought for you. Eat it quickly. After you finish it, I will buy you another one~"
The little old lady touched Xie Gang's hand and was reluctant to let go. She was so old that she really wanted children. It was only because her daughter was filial that she let Huahua accompany her, otherwise she really didn't know how she would have lived alone.
"Eat more, don't worry about me, I have everything here, and your sister Huahua doesn't like to eat these."
Neither of them likes sweets, and these things were given to her by others when they came to see her. It was not easy to get something edible, so she had to let him eat more quickly~
"Grandma, I really can't eat anymore. We went to the county town to eat today and came back. If you don't believe me, touch my stomach. I'm really full~"
Gangzi often came to his grandmother's house since he was a child. The old lady was always worried that these children would not have enough to eat, so she would always take out all the delicious food at home and feed them to them.
"Then you can take it back and eat it later. Your sister Huahua thought you had to come today, so she waited for a long time but you didn't come. When she saw that it was not going to rain, she went to the river to wash clothes. You should be back now."
As the old lady was talking, there was a movement in the yard, and a clear voice came in.
"Grandma, I'm back. Is Gangzi not here yet?"
Xie Gang quickly got up and went out. As soon as he came out, he greeted everyone and took the basin from Xie Huahua.
"Big sister, you take a break and let me hang the clothes~"
Gangzi feels that there are too many people he needs to please in this life...
He couldn't afford to offend any of them...
"Sister, Mom said she missed you and asked if you would like to go back and stay for a few days."
Xie Huahua was a little moved, she also missed her parents, but her grandma was old and she was worried about her being alone.
"Then I'll go back and take a look after I finish my work these few days."
She couldn't live there anymore because her grandma couldn't leave her.
"Huahua, listen to Gangzi, go back and accompany your mother, grandma is fine, stay for a few days and come back"
The old lady went back to find a cloth bag and put everything on the table into it.
"Grandma, don't put it in there. We have some in our house for you to eat. Hey, I just bought this today. Grandma, if you don't take it, my mom will beat me to death when she gets home."
The little old lady didn't stop after hearing that. Xie Gang came over and tried to pull her apart, but failed. He didn't dare to pull hard, so he watched his grandmother pack all the things in.
"Huahua, go home and spend some time with your mother. There's no need to rush back."
The little old lady knew that if she didn't say this, Xie Huahua would be able to come back early tomorrow morning.
That won’t work. Which little girl would follow an old lady like her around every day?
Xie Huahua held the old lady's arm and gently leaned her head on her shoulder.
"Grandma~"
"Hey, good girl, play with your peers more often, don't stay at home all day. Go, pack your things and let Gangzi take them for you. Go back early and make your mother happy."
Xie Huahua was even more reluctant to let go when her calloused hands stroked her head. She and Xie Duoduo were twins, and her grandparents disliked them because they were girls and didn't care at all.
It was the autumn harvest time at that time, and her father couldn't take any leave. Her grandmother, an old lady with bound feet, left her grandfather behind and took care of the three of them every day.
Xie Chunhua was a first-time mother, and she had to go back to work after the confinement period. She couldn’t take care of two children, so when she was five months old, she was carried away in a backpack by an old lady...
