Chapter 268 It’s really biased
People in the village grow peanuts and sweet potatoes together.
Peanuts and sweet potatoes are harvested at about the same time.
Otherwise, if other people’s crops are harvested but your fields are not harvested, then all the voles will go to your house to look for food.
There are still a lot of voles in the fields in this day and age. If you haven’t been to the fields for a while and walk on the field ridges, you will see mice digging holes in your fields.
As soon as Jiang Xia appeared in the peanut field in the village, everyone in the peanut field couldn't help but look at her.
Jiang Xia: "..."
Is she so eye-catching?
Tian Caihua was surprised when she saw Jiang Xia coming and asked, "Xiao Xia, why are you here?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Mom said I would harvest peanuts today, so I will come. Collect peanuts.”
She glanced at Tian Caixing, who was collecting peanuts with a dark face, and knew that Tian Caihua had already thought of a way. She wanted to enslave Tian Caixing for free and let him leave on his own.
Other women in the village were a little surprised to see Jiang Xia coming. After all, Jiang Xia had been married for so long and had never been to the fields.
She has never even been to the vegetable garden!
The villagers all knew that the Zhou family regarded her as a treasure and did not use her for anything except taking her out to sea.
Jiang Xia walked down the peanut field, and Mother Zhou smiled and said: "Xiao Xia, you pick peanuts, I brought a bench, you just sit there and pick the peanuts into the basket."
Look!
He also arranged the easiest job for her in the field. How much do you love her?
Who doesn’t bring peanuts home and slowly pick them at night, and then quickly pull them out of the field during the day?
A potbellied woman about the same age as Jiang Xia heard this and said with envy: "The mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law the most in the village is my aunt. The daughter-in-law who marries into your family will be blessed."
< br>Zhou’s mother is also famous in the village for her diligence and easy-going attitude.
But she doesn’t have a mother-in-law, so she does all the work at home by herself. With a belly of more than eight months, she still has to wash and cook every day, carry water and vegetables, and go to the fields to farm. She does all the work at home by herself!
Her man goes out to sea from dawn to dusk, and when he comes home he does nothing, just stretches out on a recliner and acts like a man.
She was simply envious of Jiang Xia who had her parents-in-law to help her. She never thought that her words would undoubtedly be arousing, because there was more than one daughter-in-law of Zhou Mu in the field.
As soon as she said this, Tian Caihua, who was bending over to pull out peanuts, felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't Zhou's mother ask her to pick peanuts just now?
But then I thought it would be great if Jiang Xia could come.
No one from the second child's family showed up.
Forget it if they don’t show up. When the peanuts are harvested, they will be given two bags, and after the oil is squeezed, another twenty or thirty kilograms of oil will be given to them!
Jiangxia is still relatively good. Jiangxia is never lazy at work. He learns quickly and works well.
Looking at Jiang Xia’s thin arms and legs, Tian Caihua probably wouldn’t be able to pull out the peanut seedlings, but she works very quickly and can pick all the peanuts, which is fine! This way you can take a break when you go home at night without having to continue working.
Tian Caixing used to hear Tian Caihua say that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were biased when she returned to her parents' home. Today, she realized it for real. They are indeed biased.
Everyone knows that it is easy to just sit there and pick peanuts, but you have to bend down and use force to pull them out. You will be exhausted at the end of the day.
Mother Zhou asked the younger daughter-in-law to sit and pick peanuts, while the eldest daughter-in-law was bending over to pick peanuts. This bias was too obvious.
And his sister only has one acre of peanut land, but she has to help harvest all the peanuts from three acres of land. Isn't it too partial?
Tian Caixing leaned into Tian Caihua's ear: "After harvesting this acre today, leave the remaining two acres alone. Let them harvest it by themselves. A Xin and I will go to sea tomorrow! Leave them alone!"
When Tian Caihua heard this, she immediately refused in a low voice: "That won't work. A Xin won't agree to it. Brother, stop talking and harvest it quickly! After harvesting three acres of peanuts, there are still five acres of sweet potatoes and sesames to harvest. Then we'll have to harvest them again." There are several acres of rice and three acres of sugar cane to harvest! It’s impossible to go to sea. We won’t have to go to sea for the next half month. We have to harvest all the crops in the fields before we can go to sea!”
"A Lei and Jiang Xia are going to Suicheng tomorrow, and the second brother and his wife have to go to work again. The land at home depends on the two elders, and me and A Xin. Fortunately, brother, you are here, otherwise A Xin and I would be exhausted! "
When Tian Caixing heard that he would not go to sea for half a month, he said angrily: "I don't have time to help you collect this and that. I have to collect the peanuts at home. I will go back tomorrow and you can't do it. Just don't do it! How can you and your wife do so much work? You two have already separated. I can help you, but why should I help the other two families?" Tian Caihua: " If we don't do it, why would Axin go over and help his parents when he's free? Okay, stop it, if I dare. If you don't do it, he will divorce me! Brother, just stay a few more days and help me collect the rice in the fields!"
"I'm not free. I forgot that the crops in the field are ripe. I have to go home to harvest peanuts tomorrow, otherwise your sister-in-law should come over. After harvesting at home, I will come over to help you!"
"Okay! !" Tian Caihua was secretly happy and finally left!
Luckily she was resourceful.
Jiang Xia also saw that Zhou's mother specially gave her light work, and said with a smile: "Mom, I will pick it when I go back in the evening. Now I will put the peanuts away."
Jiang Xia just rode a bicycle When I passed by a villager's house, I saw peanuts drying in the corner, along with the peanut saplings. There was an old man sitting at the door slowly picking peanuts. It can be seen that you can take them back first and pick them while drying.
Jiangxia found a field and began to harvest peanuts.
Harvesting peanuts is very simple, just uproot them. After all, peanuts grow in the ground.
Although this is Jiang Xia's first time harvesting peanuts, she has always worked quickly. She is no slower than Tian Caihua and Zhou Mu, and is even faster than them.
Although this body is delicate, it can't hold back Jiang Xia's endurance and her concentration on work. After more than half an hour, Jiang Xia caught up with Tian Caihua and Zhou Mu and finished pulling out a bunch of peanuts.
She then went to pull out a field of peanuts.
They are all good at work. In one morning, the five of them harvested all the peanuts in one acre of land.
Jiangxia came from behind and harvested more peanuts from two fields, which was more than Zhou Mu's harvest from the field, and almost the same as Zhou Chengxin's harvest.
Since I still have to walk for more than 40 minutes to get home, I eat lunch directly in the fields.
People in the village had long seen Jiang Xia's energy at work and couldn't help but praise in front of Zhou's mother: "I didn't expect A Lei's wife to work so neatly."
"Yes, I used to see her being squeamish, but she turns out to be so good at work!”
My grandma said with a smile, “You don’t know a lot, but Xiaoxia knows a lot!”
Mother Zhou laughed! Said: "Xiaoxia is very nimble in everything she does. She is even better at sorting fish. Her hands are like a scale, and she can catch them accurately. I am not as fast or as accurate as her."
"You are really married to a treasure! He is capable and prosperous. It will be perfect if he has another grandson."
My grandma looked proud: "That's right! I have long said that A Lei would marry A treasure."
Mother Zhou looked at Jiang Xia, who was sitting on a field stalk and chatting and laughing with He Xinghuan, with a smile on her face. Xiaoxia was indeed a treasure.
Women of Zhou's mother's age couldn't help but envy him.
After dinner, everyone continued to collect peanuts.
Jiang Xia also got up and continued to work.
I was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon. I just finished harvesting another acre of peanuts. Zhou Chenglei and Zhou's father came back from the sea and hurried over.
At this time, the family was moving peanut seedlings onto the cart.
Zhou’s father came here on a motorcycle, one step ahead of Zhou Chenglei.
Mother Zhou was surprised: "Why are you back so early?"
