But there is no such good thing this year. Zhang Xiu is also busy these days, and other people have no time to talk about it, so Tang Chunming doesn't know much about the situation in the village, but even if no one tells him, Tang Chunming can guess Get the current situation of the Zhao family.
Without Zhao Dahu, a top-notch laborer, who will plant the land in the Zhao family? Now Zhao Daniu is the only idler in the Zhao family, and Zhao Laosan has gone to the state capital. After being lazy for so many years, Zhao Daniu would not be able to drive out all these lands even if he got up early and touched the land in the dark every day, and Wang Chunhua would not be lazy this year. Wouldn't Mrs. Zhao still be busy with housework without him? Not to mention the busy farming period, Tang Chunming knew from other people that Wang Chunhua's life in Zhao's house was not as satisfactory as before. Even if Zhao Mei, a little brother, took on a lot of housework, old mother Zhao was full of anger There is nowhere to stare at Wang Chunhua every day.
Thinking of Zhao Mei's little brother, Tang Chunming could only sigh sympathetically in his heart, but there were no more. It's not the first day that Zhao's family values men more than brothers. Of course, most rural people are like this, but Wang Chunhua is the mother of Zhao Mei's younger brother, but in Ming's memory, he has never had a good life. , Leave the delicious food to Zhao Dong, and let Zhao Mei, the little brother, do whatever work. As a result, Zhao Dong is fat, but Zhao Mei is thin and small.
Even Wang Chunhua, a mother-in-law, doesn't feel sorry for her child, and Tang Chunming, an outsider, certainly won't do anything. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Wang Chunhua's virtues, if Tang Chunming does something, Wang Chunhua will definitely entangle him like a leech. There's no end to it.
"You don't know yet," the brother also liked to say, telling Tang Chunming, "I just passed by the Zhao family's field and saw Wang Chunhua in the field, and Aunt Zhao was standing on the ridge of the field as a supervisor, oh, Is this right, it will really make other people laugh."
He told Wang Chunhua how to play tricks and want to be lazy. Zhao Laomao didn't believe him at all, and said that if he couldn't finish the task, there would be no food for him. Tang Chunming also smiled when he heard it. However, hearing these villains torturing each other, the joy in his heart is really indescribable.
Saying goodbye to the man with a smile, Tang Chunming grabbed A Lin's hand and said, "A Lin, don't run around with my mother, or you will be scolded if you meet bad people."
Ah Lin knew how to read people's faces. During this period of time, his intelligence has improved even more. He raised his face and asked Aunt cutely: "Are you talking about Nanny and Uncle?"
Tang Chunming patted his son's head, still smiling and said: "Good boy, we just need to know, don't say it."
Alin nodded sensiblely and seriously: "Mum, Alin knows that Alin won't speak ill of them outside." Alin clenched his fist, although they were really bad, they would beat Alin if they didn't give him food Scolding Lin and bullying Grandma, but Grandma said that they are elders and cannot let others know that she speaks ill of them. Anyway, now everyone knows that they are bad people.
When he arrived in his own field, Tang Chunming asked the three big men in the field and Zhang Xiu and Damao to stop their work and come to have lunch. In order to let them eat well, Tang Chunming used his brains these days Work hard on the food. The staple food at noon today is white flour steamed buns. The dish is a combination of meat and vegetables. A portion of stewed pork with beans. The big meat with fat and meat makes people appetite when you look at it, but there is not much in your mouth. A serving of fried cabbage is fresh and refreshing. No one in the peasant family has eaten this cabbage on the dining table, but even Dashan has to admit that Brother Ming's craftsmanship is better than his brother's, and there is Braised fatty sausages in soy sauce are delicious when eaten together in steamed buns.
Not to mention anything else, at such a young age, Da Mao had to work in the fields with adults. Tang Chunming felt distressed, so he put two poached eggs in the bowl for everyone. Da Mao smiled and thanked Tang Chunming when he saw the eggs in the bowl Although he was tired from going to the field, he ate very well. He even asked Ermao what he was doing. Tang Chunming replied that he was taking care of the house.
There are also other families nearby who will come to join in the fun. They are not familiar with Li Feng and Yu Mu, but they are not so particular about the relationship with Dashan. Every time Tang Chunming opens the food, the fragrance will waft around, making other men feel different. A kind of envy and jealousy, I ran over to eat a few chopsticks if I couldn't see it. It's the same now, when Yu Mu opened the bowl covering it and stretched out his first chopsticks, all the men from the next-door field had already come to him to grab food from him. The feelings between men also come quickly, and those who have robbed food a few times don't think Yu Mu, a big man with a bad reputation, is so difficult to get close to, but think he is very straightforward, and Boy Feng is not so hard to talk to. It's just that he has a dull temper.
After Tang Chunming sent the food to the edge of the field, he let them eat by themselves, and he took Alin to feed the big green mule with some water, and mixed some space spring water in it. The big green mule was tired all morning, Tang Chunming felt It should be rewarded.
Ever since Alin raised Xiaohua and the sheep at home, he has always been fond of livestock. Xiaohua plays with him, the ewes can let him drink delicious goat milk, and the big green mule can take him to the county. I can also help my mother plow the land. My mother said that the land plowed by the big green mule can lead to a good harvest, and Alin will not have to be hungry in the future.
Alin stretched out his hand to touch the head of the big green mule, and said in a childlike voice: "Daqing mule, help uncle to work hard, and Alin will leave something delicious for you at night." Yesterday he took his share of snacks and All the sugar was left for the big green mule to eat, and Tang Chunming didn't stop him when he saw it.
Children's words and children's words can make people laugh most knowingly.
But there was something so unpleasant about it. Tang Chunming finished feeding the mule and was about to take Alin back. When the bowl and basket were brought back when the water was delivered in the afternoon, a strange voice came over.
"Hey, brother, you are so lucky now, use your words, there are people rushing to do the work in this field, why don't you tell them to help grandma and brother, don't you see grandma Is mama about to faint from exhaustion?"
Tang Chunming turned around and saw that the person who was speaking was not Wang Chunhua or anyone else. Standing beside him was Old Mama Zhao with a gloomy expression. Her eyes were staring at him as if she was an enemy from generation to generation, wishing to swallow him up.
Tang Chunming raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry at all. He had no feelings for these people, so how could he be angry because of their few words? Only when you put them in your heart will you not be angry because of unfair treatment and harsh criticism. Maybe Brother Ming really wanted to please them because of Zhao Dahu, but in Tang Chunming's eyes, these two people, to put it bluntly, are as good as they are. Pretty much a pile of shit.
But first he bent down and said to Ah Lin who was gripping the hem of his clothes because of the appearance of these two people: "A Lin, good boy, go to Xiu Ahmao and Uncle Dashan, and listen to Ah Mu's words."
Only then did Ah Lin let go of Grandma's clothes, and looked back at Grandma while walking. The man who was eating over there also stopped his chopsticks, knowing that these two brothers came here to find Brother Ming, so hurry up. If they If they want to do something, they really can't stand by and watch, not to mention Dashan and Li Feng, even the other two men have eaten Tang Chunming's food anyway, and they can't turn a blind eye.
But Zhang Xiu was more straightforward, put down the bowls and chopsticks and rushed to Tang Chunming's side. Brother Ming's body is getting heavier and heavier now, and nothing can happen, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Everyone in the Zhao family disliked them very much, so they had to protect Ah Ming anyway. The half-grown child stood in front of Tang Chunming and glared at the two of them vigorously.
The corners of Tang Chunming's mouth curled up. This was the first time he saw these two people since the riot. To be honest, he was in a very good mood, because the image of these two people was terrible. There is a saying, I know you guys If he is not doing well, then I am relieved and very happy, he is in this state now.
Grandma Zhao is not as happy as before. The flesh on her face is a little loose, making the cheekbones that were not low before even more prominent. Coupled with the drooping eyelids, the whole person looks mean and vicious.
Tang Chunming was still in the mood to think, this is probably the result of feeling sorry for the money, Zhao Laosan must have spent a lot of money on his trip to the state capital, and the cost of living in the town was not small, and Zhao Laomo did not To extract money from himself, he can only dig out his money, that is not to dig out his heart and liver, and he is reluctant to lose his son Zhao Laosan, so he can only feel sorry for himself.
Wang Chunhua was even more unattractive. Not only was she a lot thinner than last time, her eyes were dull, her hair was messy, her body was dusty, and there was mud on the ground when she fell down. In order to show the difference from Brother Ming and highlight his position in the Zhao family, Wang Chunhua always packs himself neatly and dresses a bit longer than Brother Ming, as if this can overwhelm Brother Ming , and oppressed Brother Ming with more peace of mind.
Looking at it now, the situation of the two of them is completely reversed. Not only is Tang Chunming fatter now, but he is still wearing a new thin padded jacket that Zhang Xiu helped to make. No, it seems that she is more than ten years younger than Wang Chunhua. This makes Wang Chunhua feel jealous after seeing Tang Chunming's appearance clearly, and she can't help but want to scratch Tang Chunming's tender face.
"Grandma is about to faint, it's all because of you, isn't it?" Tang Chunming sneered, "Didn't my brother dislike me for being clumsy in serving Grandma, but now how do you take care of Grandma? , I didn’t say, when Dahu was around, when did you let grandma go to the ground? Tsk tsk, bro, you and elder brother are too inappropriate, this is far inferior to Dahu.” Tang Chunming would specifically go to the bottom of the heart The more they want to mention Tang Chunming, the more they want to remind them what they lost and who caused all this today.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for such people to recognize and admit their mistakes, but it is just to let them deepen the sharp contrast between the two days.
Over there, Zhao Daniu also walked over slowly, hunchbacked, as tired as a dog. Tang Chunming's words fell into his ears word for word, and his face flushed with embarrassment, no, Zhao Dahu was there None of them are comfortable when they are in the field, even though he, Zhao Daniu, also goes to the ground, but he is often lazy.
From the first day he went to the ground, Zhao Daniu regretted that he didn't stop his mother last year. He knew that it was dangerous to enter the mountains at that time, but he still didn't say anything at that time and just wanted to wait for the money to eat meat. Well, not only is there no meat to eat, but even the work in the field falls on him alone, Zhao Laosan? Mother is willing to let his good brother go to the ground? Even if he died of exhaustion in the field, he probably wouldn't have such a day. It wasn't the first day he realized Aunt's eccentricity.
"How do I take care of grandma? Let me tell you as an outsider? Now that the third child is not at home, it's because Daniel and I are serving grandma's food and clothing. You are struck by lightning, and you would rather give the meat to outsiders than to grandma." Take a bite, God will look at you as an unfilial person!" Wang Chunhua blurted out sharp words after being stimulated, especially the smell of meat, which made his eyes red, just like this. Willing to spend money to buy a piece of meat back.
"Outsiders? Chick," Tang Chunming sneered, "Brother, didn't you say that I'm an outsider? Then why do you want me, an outsider, to be filial to grandma and send meat to you? Be filial to grandma and let grandma eat meat Shouldn't it be you insiders?"
"Isn't it?" Zhang Xiu also chimed in, "Brother Ming is now an independent householder, and he is indeed an outsider to you. Your Zhao family even took back the two acres of paddy fields that were allocated at the beginning. Why? Yes, do you still have to rely on Brother Ming to support your big family now?"
This is really ugly. In the past, Tang Chunming took out the account book and said that the Zhao family was raised by Zhao Dahu alone. Now it is rumored that Brother Ming will take care of their family. His reputation has really been thrown into the stinking ditch.
There are many people on the field at noon, and there is a lot of fun to watch. Everyone likes to eat while holding a bowl. Of course, there are also people who are resting after lunch. After hearing these words, some people burst into laughter. Some people said, this is Wang Chunhua who is greedy for meat. I didn’t see that he has lost so much weight these days, and it’s not because he has no meat to eat. Now seeing Brother Ming’s big pieces of meat being sent to the ground, Wang Chunhua can’t wait to snatch him It's in the bowl. No one in the village would believe that Zhao's family can't eat a bite of meat. One is because Mrs. Zhao is so picky and reluctant to spend a copper coin on food, and the other is because all the money is spent on Zhao Laosan. , See what Zhao Laosan eats and wears is not fine.
