172: Xia Xiaolan on Eye Drops (6 More)
It is late to plant wheat, and it is also late to plant rapeseed.
The rapeseed in other people's houses is more than a foot long, and it has already begun to bolt. After the Spring Festival wind blows, the rapeseed is the same every day. At first, there are scattered small yellow flowers blooming. A golden piece!
In Xia Xiaolan's "memory", such a scene is a common occurrence in rural areas. However, with the development of the economy in later generations, there are less and less farmland, and fewer and fewer farmers stay in the countryside. The rape blossoms have become a beautiful scenery that attracts tourists. The little girls under Mr. Xia are still flying around. Enjoy cauliflower in Yunnan and Guizhou!
Although the rapeseed flowers are beautiful, growing rapeseed is hard work.
The leaves of rapeseed can be chopped up and can be fed to pigs and chickens. Although "Xia Xiaolan" does tricky work, she can't escape this kind of light farming work. In the cold weather, you have to carry a large back basket to the rape field to brush old leaves. It doesn't take long to brush a bag full of rapeseed leaves. In winter, the frost and dew are heavy, and after brushing the leaves, the trouser legs and sleeves are all wet.
There is no condition to change clothes every day, there is no way to get wet when wet, wait for the wet cuffs and trousers to dry by yourself.
It's the best job to catch the fire when you go home after scraping the leaves, and you can also take the opportunity to bake your hands that are frozen and red. Cooking on fire is a lighter job than going out in the cold wind. Generally, this kind of job is preempted by Wang Jingui and Xia Hongxia.
There was no way, Madam Xia just hated Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen, and refused to assign light farm work to their mother and daughter.
"Xia Xiaolan" is not very caring to Liu Fen. After all, she is a mother and daughter, and it is impossible for Liu Fen to have no time to rest. Sometimes she has to go out to do this kind of work.
"Xiaolan, what are you thinking?"
Liu Fen pushed her, and Xia Xiaolan broke free from her memory: "You said what to grow in the fields, and I remembered the eccentric tiger woman in the Xia family. I went to the rape field to stroke the leaves and came back to feed the pigs, my hands were red from freezing. She also didn't let me burn my hands with hot water, saying that the firewood at home is fixed!"
Xia Xiaolan didn't bother her mother, but since Xia Ziyu came back, it is estimated that the Xia family will have to make some troubles.
Look at what Xia Ziyu said at the gate of Baixi Temple that day, Liu Fen and Xia Dajun have been married for 20 years. It sounds weird to Xia Xiaolan, is Xia Ziyu trying to show her kind and sensible image in front of Wang Jianhua, or does she have other plans?
No matter what, Xia Xiaolan had to vaccinate Liu Fen.
What if Liu Fen has a good life for a few months and her dislike of the Xia family fades, and she really wants to go back to live with Xia Dajun?
Xia Xiaolan was able to regard Liu Fen as her mother because Liu Fen took care of her.
She doesn't want to have another father, relying on blood relationship to make a fortune on her head, and by the way, she has to be related to the Xia family's best litter!
Speaking of the fact that Mrs. Xia didn't even let Xia Xiaolan use the hot water, Liu Fen also blushed with anger.
Leaving the Xia family, Liu Fen thought more and more clearly that the old lady Xia was eccentric, and she didn't even take Xiaolan seriously with Xia Dajun. What if the children in the winter come back from work and wash their hands in hot water. The young girl's family can't be cold, and the cold will enter the body, which will affect childbirth in the future. But the old lady Xia made it. Most of the firewood was picked up by Liu Fenxian. When the reeds were withered and yellow, everyone went to the reeds to cut the reeds and go home to burn them as firewood, because the leaves of the reeds were cut on the skin. It hurts so much that Zhang Cui and Wang Jingui hide if they can.
With the withered reeds that Liu Fen brought back, it was difficult for Xia Xiaolan to order hot water!
The same granddaughter, in the winter, Xia Ziyu can stay in the warm room without doing anything.
Madam Xia was also afraid that her good granddaughter's hands would be cold when she was writing, and she asked someone to buy white cotton gloves from the county town that would not affect the movement of her fingers, and she filled Xia Ziyu with a hot water bottle to warm her hands in an hour... The room where Xia Ziyu slept, The treatment of the old lady Xia is the same, the charcoal fire does not go out at night.
Thinking of these bad things, the honest man Liu Fen also got itchy with anger.
"You just want to stroke the leaves to feed the pigs, but you don't have one at home. Look at Mom's memory. When you were reading and doing the questions, I forgot to fill you with two hot water bottles!"
Now they are not in the stingy Xia family, they have this condition, Xia Xiaolan can also hold a hot water bottle and just review.
Xia Xiaolan hurriedly stopped her mother: "No, no, there is already a charcoal pot in the house. It's not good for people to be too comfortable when studying and working. When they get warm, they feel sleepy. I'm doing this problem like now, and my mind is clear."
Xia Xiaolan did not fool Liu Fen.
If you eat too much, the blood will be concentrated in the gastrointestinal part to help digestion, and there will be less supply to the brain. Too warm is also a similar reason. If the temperature is too high, people will feel sleepy. If it is a little colder, the response of the brain and the body are in an active state, which is more suitable for efficient learning.
Liu Fen was skeptical.
However, Xia Xiaolan's scheming was not in vain, and Liu Fen wrote a note to the hated Xia family in her heart.
Remarried with Xia Dajun?
She will not harm her daughter!
...
On the third day of the new year, Li Fengmei returned to her parents' home, but she had a good time.
When she married Liu Yong, everyone in her family was against it, and she felt that Li Fengmei's second marriage had lost the face of the Li family.
She should be damned at the man's house before, she is a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and she doesn't allow the man to beat and scold her? Li Fengmei couldn't stand that day and didn't dare to live with her ex-husband, but after returning to her parents' house, her brothers were unwilling. It happened that Liu Yong did not marry a wife at his age, so the introducer brought the two together. Li Fengmei heard that there was no old man in the Liu family. , Liu Yong is the master of the family, and he does not dislike Liu Yong's poverty
, agreed to marry.
The two only found out about the marriage certificate.
Li Fengmei's family was very angry, Taotao's grandmother felt bad for her daughter and gave Li Fengmei a lot of private money.
The conditions of the Li family are not bad or not, but they can't tolerate the shame of a divorced sister, and the sister-in-law does not want Li Fengmei to have a meal at home... Li Fengmei felt the same way, so when Liu Yong brought Liu Fen and Xia Xiaolan home, she didn't mean to be unwilling at all. revealed.
Marrying Liu Yong has also had a hard time for a few years. Every time I go home, my sister-in-law follows like a thief, afraid that Li Fengmei will take the child back to her parents' house for dinner and take money. When Liu Yong arrived at his father-in-law's house, apart from his old mother-in-law who was kind to him, several elder brothers-in-law were very cold to him.
Also blame Liu Yong for not being able to live up to his expectations, even if you are poor, you are still idle, and it is right to look down on you.
To accompany Li Fengmei back to her parents' home this year, Liu Yong prepared a generous gift. Li Fengmei's mother is getting old. Liu Yong bought two cans of milk powder and malted milk essence from Shangdu. They must have white sugar and dried noodles. In addition, there is a pig's hind leg that weighs more than ten pounds.
When this gift was brought to Li Fengmei's eldest brother's house, Aunt Taotao couldn't have imagined that when she spoke to Li Fengmei again, her attitude became very affectionate.
"Why didn't you come back today? Grandma Taotao was looking forward to you coming yesterday. I also prepared the dishes yesterday, and no one was there until the evening."
Sister-in-law, what can Li Fengmei say?
If it wasn't for her old mother living with her eldest brother's family, she wouldn't be able to get in.
In order for the old mother to have a comfortable life, she had to perfunctory her sister-in-law: "We are also entertaining guests at home. Taotao's aunt came to visit my parents-in-law and my mother-in-law's grave yesterday."
Sister-in-law Li suddenly realized that she had reconciled with the wealthy sister-in-law. No wonder this year's ceremony is so important.
"They are all relatives. If you don't move around for a few years, you will definitely have to live. The Liu family is Taotao and his sister-in-law is the most capable. If you don't coax this sister-in-law well, are you stupid?"
Li Fengmei was speechless.
What if the man Liu Fang married was capable, she never took a dime off the other side.
However, the sister-in-law misunderstood that this thing was created by Liu Fang, and Li Fengmei was too lazy to explain. The business of the clothing store is entirely dependent on Xia Xiaolan. She is all in the light of her niece. Why should she call her family to suck blood?
"Sister-in-law, that milk powder and malted milk essence are two cans, half of them belong to my mother!"
Sister-in-law Li was about to bring everything back to the room, but she laughed dryly, "Half of it is my mother's. This is all for my mother's body. I will carry her to the house."
