Chapter 650: Come to the Door
"Mom, I wanted to go out to see my cousin last night, but Erbaozi came back crying and I was afraid so I went home.
When the mother-in-law got angry, Li Xiuli was afraid, but she still bit her death and didn't say anything. Gao Guilan looked at her coldly, without blinking, with sharp eyes.
Li Xiuli lowered her head and dared not look at her mother-in-law. Her hands subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes.
Zheng Dagui has arranged the tasks for work:
"Today is the last day for the rush to harvest the beet field. After today, I will inspect the land. After passing the inspection, women and children can go to the land. In the afternoon, we will start to pick corn. Tomorrow, after cleaning the beet field, we will plant cabbage and green onions. In order for us to have enough food in winter, everyone will work hard. For a year, we all rely on these few days! Don't come to me and cry when the whole family has no food to eat.
"Yes."
The women are the most excited. Although the beets are almost harvested, there will always be fish that slip through the net. The tender hearts of beet cherry can be pickled and made into pickles in winter.
Farmers are most concerned about having enough food to eat, and everyone's enthusiasm for work is unprecedentedly high.
Mr. Gu didn't come today, but Gu Changfeng came early in the morning. When he came, he just heard Zheng Dagui arranging work for the members. He scanned the crowd and didn't find Xinyue's figure. He rode his bike straight to Zheng's house.
Zheng Xinyue was taking a bath with Da Niu in the river water at this moment! The water was warm and just right for bathing. The child had woken up. The river water had never disappointed Zheng Xinyue.
"Aunt, will Da Niu have no mother in the future?"
Da Niu asked her aunt crying. She was already six years old. During this period, the children in the village chased after her three siblings and scolded them, saying that her mother was bad, but in the child's heart, her mother was the best.
She also fought with those children for her. She was very happy to see her mother come back yesterday. She was very scared and helpless when she saw her father beating her mother.
Looking at the trembling Da Niu, the towel in Zheng Xinyue's hand stopped in the water. She didn't know how to persuade the child? Seeing her eyes filled with tears, Zheng Xinyue felt distressed. She carefully selected her words and tried to reduce the harm to the child.
"Big girl, you don't have a mother, but your father and mother are separated. You have to understand that people can't always be together, just like my aunt got married before? Big girl will also get married when she grows up, and she will leave our home at that time, but just living separately does not mean that we will never see each other again. Our hearts are still together. Do you understand what aunt means?"
Zheng Xinyue was tired of talking. She only remembered that when her grandfather died, she felt that her life became black and white. Knowing that her grandfather would never come back, her heart seemed to be empty all of a sudden, and she didn't even know how to cry.
As a six-year-old child, she felt that Big Girl might not understand these words, so she could only give her more care in the future.
"But my mother is so pitiful."
Big girl said with tears, Zheng Xinyue frowned slightly, and Li Xiuqin's skill in pretending to be pitiful was unmatched.
She couldn't say bad things about her mother in front of the child, that would be too cruel.
She could only silently take a towel and splash water on the child. After she patiently scrubbed, half of the rash on the girl's body disappeared.
"Eat the egg custard, and auntie will wash your clothes for you."
Seeing that the girl's body was not so itchy and her mood was gradually stable, Zheng Xinyue threw the child's dirty clothes into the water, told the girl to eat the egg custard, and she went out with the basin.
Zheng Xinyue was washing clothes in the yard when she heard someone knocking on the door. After the lesson of the second aunt snatching meat, she would lock the door when she was at home.
"Why is it you?"
