Chapter Two That Year

July is the hottest time of the year for summer heat.

It's the wheat harvest time again, and even schools have a wheat harvest holiday. Before dawn, the Baizigou production brigade of Changxing Commune, men, women and children, are already busy harvesting wheat.

In the wheat field, the commune members were sweating profusely and waving their sickles. The veterans in the front row were quick and agile. As they walked past, there were stacks of wheat stalks with the ears attached behind them.

Behind her, Xu Changqing, who was waving a sickle dully, saw that the uncle in front of her was far away, but she didn't dare to relax even a little bit. She had to force this job.

This year, her family's situation is different from previous years. Her father works in a coal mine and seems to be earning a good income, but her mother has become pregnant after more than ten years. When she went to the hospital for a checkup, it was said that she was still pregnant with twins.

How can my mother, who is approaching forty, be able to do heavy work in the fields? Taking advantage of this wheat harvest holiday, there is nothing wrong with her doing more work and earning more work points.

At least when the food is distributed at the end of the year, the father who supports the whole family will not have to work hard, and the uncle who is the secretary of the brigade will not be in a dilemma.

Furthermore, no matter how careless the eldest sister is, she is still the eldest sister. When spring comes and she is really going to run out of food, a father can be so cruel, but a mother cannot bear to watch her daughter starve.

There is also grandma, who is muttering about that shameful thing, why bother with her, but the eldest granddaughter who was raised by one hand has never been the treasure in her hand, and she feels distressed.

And I, after studying for so many years, I can't drop out halfway. If she dares to drop out, her father will never agree. He is currently holding a fire in his heart.

Not counting the child my mother is pregnant with, there are only two sisters in the family, her and the eldest sister. Even if the family scandal is not allowed to be publicized, those who know better will not fail to see the disgrace of being the eldest child.

Fortunately, the niece was born in a hurry to cover up the shame, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing. But because of this, the father, who had no choice but to comply with his daughter's wishes in advance, was even more annoyed.

With this thought in his mind, Xu Changqing did not dare to relax. He gritted his teeth and continued to wave the sickle in his hand with all his strength, hoping that he would not fall into too many places.

The sun is gradually rising in the east, and the wheat field is as stuffy and hot as a steamer. It's so stuffy that people can't breathe, and it's so hot that people are sweating profusely. Their clothes and pants get wet, and then get wet again.

In the distance, after arranging the rest of the day's work, brigade secretary Bai Xinsheng now had time to take a look at his stubborn niece.

He was thinking about taking a look, but he really could only take a look. He wanted to go closer, but something came to him again, so he had to look away first and leave with a calm face.

There was nothing he could do, it was related to the entire brigade's plan for a year's rations. The wheat harvest was like a dragon's mouth grabbing food. Not only his stubborn niece, but also he had to go to the fields himself.

Fortunately, this child is following her father and is good enough to study. Just wait for two or three years. If you get a job in the city after graduation, you won't have to suffer this kind of pain again.

It was approaching noon, and the sun was scorching the earth like fire, and the sun was burning on the back. It was easy to cut the ground, and Xu Changqing slowly straightened up.

As soon as she stood up straight, sweat suddenly flowed into her eyes, which was so bad that she couldn't even open her eyes. For a moment, sweat and tears flowed into the corners of her mouth, which was even more bitter and salty.

Not far away, the fifth child of the Bai family, who was cutting wheat in the same row, finally discovered that his silly cousin knew that he needed a sip of water to relieve his breath. He was so happy that he quickly handed over the kettle.

"Drink quickly."

Xu Changqing didn't bother to say thank you first, took the kettle, opened the lid, and drank the water. He took off his straw hat and looked for his own kettle.

"Don't look for it. It's far away. I'll just drink the water from the bucket." Despite his blindness, Bai Laowu glanced at Xu Changqing sideways and didn't bother to say a few words to her. This temperament is absolutely terrible.

It's good for her to be lazy when she's a sister. I don't know who she is like, but she's just afraid of having less work to do. I've seen her suffer everywhere since she was a child. It's because of her good academic performance, otherwise?

With this kind of brain, you can't help counting the money after being sold! "Look at your sister, the boss is alone and picking wheat ears with the children. What do you think you are doing?"

What are you after? For peace of mind, so that your daughter will not lose to a man, and even more... Xu Changqing smiled tiredly, squinted and looked ahead, and picked up the sickle again.

There are some things that they cannot understand unless they are the parties involved. Among the many relatives, she is the only one with no sons but two daughters, even if her father doesn't care at all?

But in the end, it is different. No matter how good the uncles are, no matter how many cousins ​​there are, their surname is Bai. No matter how many sons the eldest uncle and the second uncle have, they are not the fruit of the same vine.

What's more, her father and her eldest and second uncle are half-brothers. During festivals and festivals, they worship their mother, and even their children worship their own grandmother.

When she was a child, the gossip she heard the most was how it would be to have a divorced family. Now even if they finally have a biological brother or a biological sister, they are still young.

There is a fifteen-year gap between brother and sister. If she doesn't work hard, why don't she let the eldest sister work hard? The eldest sister still only sees her as the "good husband" in her eyes.

"Did that boy Fang Jun take advantage of your father's absence recently to take advantage of your family? If you ask me, I will give up on you. Why do you care so much about the water your married daughter throws away..."

Listen! Even your married daughter is throwing water away. If all the twins your aunt is carrying are girls, wouldn’t my father have to throw out four basins of water?

Bai Laowu looked around and immediately rushed to her side, "Brother, do you want me to teach you a trick? Keep it safe so that kid never dares to come to your house to cheat on you."

"No!" The heat is almost killing you, but you are so energetic! "Hurry up and work, uncle is coming. He will eat at home after harvesting wheat for the past two days. I will kick him out after that."

"You can?"

What kind of tone is this, looking down on people, right? She is not her mother. Xu Changqing shook his head sharply, and when Bai Laowu rolled his eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled happily.

But, then again, before she gives birth, I really don’t dare to stimulate my mother in order to drive away that wasted chicken. Just bear with it, just survive this month.

Xu Changqing was so angry when she thought of this. The two sisters were obviously born from the same father and mother, but why did the elder's brain twitch from time to time.

Who doesn't know the intention of killing the chicken for nothing? The other party has only been interested in her family's food rations. He has a big plan, and the plan is to return to the city.

What a pity, it’s just her uncle? It’s her uncle. The other party wants to take shortcuts and seek favoritism for her uncle, the brigade secretary? Not to mention impossible, it’s absolutely impossible!

However, the most annoying thing is that there is also a fool who is daydreaming about following her husband and becoming a city dweller. For this reason, he also steals things and sends them to the husband's family whom he has never met.

stupid!

Thinking of these things makes me feel sick...Xu Changqing bit his lip hard. As soon as he put down the straw in his hand and stepped forward, he felt the world was spinning.

A "bang" sound...
