Chapter 38 Thick-skinned

"Sister Xi, we've done it." Chen Shuanzi shouted.

Jiang Hexi turned around and took a look, seeing that the two of them had peeled all the corn, and then looked at Xie Yan cutting the potatoes into chunks along the sprouted end according to her instructions, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go! Let's plant something."

The three of them walked to the farmland carrying a lot of things.

The farmland has long been filled with busy villagers, and everyone is busy hoeing the ground to prepare for the new year.

"Shuanzi, I will dig holes in the hoeing field later. You can put the corn in, just three or four grains in each hole." Jiang Hexi did not write ink, but was full of energy. He looked at Chen Shuanzi, who was a little overwhelmed.

Instructed.

Chen Shuanzi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and shouted: "Okay!"

"Ayan, please help me make a ditch in the field next to me! Just make a ditch in the soil, and then make a pit with the potatoes cut into pieces. There is only about a palm width between the two pits.

"Jiang Hexi turned to gestures with her hands to teach Xie Yan how to make a ditch.

Xie Yan thought for a moment, then nodded understandingly.

The three of them started a farming battle and fought hard to the end. It was not until the sun gradually rose in the center of the blue sky that they completed today's task.

Looking at the neat and tidy sweet potato field with seedlings in front of him, the moist patch of land with potatoes planted on the good ridges, and the yellow land planted with corn at a distance, Jiang Hexi nodded with satisfaction and smiled brightly.

"Thank you for your hard work today, come to my house for lunch at noon! Let's go home! Let's go home for dinner." Jiang Hexi wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, smiled gratefully at the two of them, and looked relaxed.

road.

The two of them naturally agreed.

The three of them returned home tiredly and happily, and walked slowly back in the direction of Jiang's house.

"Girl, you're back! I heard from Jing Niang that you went to farm, so I came over to cook for you before you had lunch. Girl, do you mind?" Li Lanhua looked at Jiang Hexi.

When I came back, I hurriedly ran over and said anxiously.

Jiang Hexi looked up and saw Li Lanhua looking at her uneasily, with evasive eyes. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course not, I have to thank you very much! Otherwise, Ah Yun and Ah Xuan would probably be starving.

"

"Sister, Ah Xuan and I are obediently waiting for you to come back before eating!" Seeing that his sister finally came back, Jiang Heyun ran over with short legs, looking arrogant and begging for praise.

Jiang Hexuan also walked over and looked at Jiang Hexi expectantly.

Jiang Hexi smiled and tapped Jiang Heyun's little nose, touched Jiang Hexuan's bun, and couldn't help teasing them: "Our Ah Yun and Ah Xuan are so good!"

"Okay, let's eat quickly! I guess everyone is starving." Jiang Hexi turned to the bewildered Chen Shuanzi and Xie Yan, smiled reassuringly, and said softly.

Several people nodded one after another, packed themselves up, and sat around the Jiang family's mahogany dining table.

Just when everyone was enjoying the delicious food in peace, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Is Miss Jiang at home? I am Lanhua's second aunt, Miss Jiang, open the door quickly!"

Several people looked at each other, especially Li Lanhua, whose toes were curled up in embarrassment and her cheeks were as red as blood. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Jiang Hexi.

When Jiang Hexi saw her like this, she didn't say anything. Instead, she patted her arm comfortingly and said gently: "I'll go take a look. You can continue to eat!"

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Li Lanhua's second aunt Jiang Guixiang looking at her with a flattering look on her face, and holding her little daughter Li Meihua in her hand.

"Auntie, what's the matter with you?" Jiang Hexi glanced at Li Meihua, whose face was red with embarrassment, and said slowly.

"Miss Jiang, why don't you let us in first before we talk." Jiang Guixiang took the opportunity to squeeze into the Jiang family's yard and strode into the house with Li Meihua.

Jiang Hexi had no choice but to close the door immediately and follow closely, fearing that this difficult woman would do something troublesome.

"Oh! Orchid is here too! You're still sitting here eating!" When he saw Li Lanhua sitting quietly inside, Jiang Guixiang stared at her with a strange look, and said with a smile on his face.

"Second Aunt." Looking at this familiar face, Li Lanhua shook her shoulders subconsciously, lowered her head and muttered.

"Who are you showing off like this! Those who don't know think I'm bullying you! You feed me and live with me, and yet you dare to show me your face! Don't think that just because you're hanging out with Miss Jiang, you're so arrogant!

No matter what you do, you are still a sparrow on that branch! You really think you are a phoenix in distress!" When Jiang Guixiang saw her cowardly look, she became even more angry, and strode over to her and pinched her arm angrily.

road.

Jiang Hexi hurriedly pulled the two of them away and blocked Jiang Guixiang's attack with her body. She raised her eyebrows and said defensively: "Auntie, what are you doing! Lanhua helped me with the work. What's wrong with me leaving her here to eat? Besides, Lanhua has always been

You are well-behaved and sensible, how can you disrespect your aunt? I think your aunt is overthinking!"

"Miss Jiang, don't be deceived by her harmless appearance! You don't know! She works hard to be lazy at home. Either she doesn't have the energy to chop wood today, or she doesn't have the energy to carry water! She doesn't

How can you be so big and have no strength? Isn't this just fooling people!" Jiang Guixiang wanted to get closer and hold Jiang Hexi's hand, but she mercilessly avoided her and instead stared at Li Lanhua with a fake smile.

.

Jiang Hexi did not listen to her, patted Li Lanhua's trembling shoulders reassuringly, and said seriously: "I also know how my aunt mistreats Lanhua at home. I am an outsider and I am not qualified to advise you to be kind. I am pitiful.

Lan Hua is a child without a father and a mother, but now that she is here with me, she is part of my family! Of course I want her to be well fed, and I also ask my aunt to be careful with her words and actions!"

"Miss Jiang, you have wronged me! She has been without parents since she was a child, but I took her here with good intentions! I pulled her up like shit and peed, but I have never treated her badly! Otherwise

, she will starve to death!" Seeing Jiang Hexi's cold face, Jiang Guixiang hurriedly made an excuse.

Jiang Hexi waved her hand, not wanting to talk to her about all this anymore, and said coldly: "Auntie, just tell me what you have to say! What do you want from me today?"

Hearing this, Jiang Guixiang smiled coquettishly, pulled Li Meihua aside who was bowing her head silently, and said loudly: "I heard that Miss Jiang has accepted this girl Lanhua as her apprentice. What can this stupid girl have to teach? Miss Jiang

Why don't you take a look at our plum blossoms? Our plum blossoms have been smart since they were young, and they are guaranteed to be ten thousand times better than orchids! Why don't Miss Jiang take the plum blossoms as well?"

"Besides, Miss Jiang and I are both surnamed Jiang. We might have been the same family five hundred years ago! How can this family have two families? Isn't our relationship much closer than that of an outsider like Lan Hua?" Jiang Guixiang said in a serious tone.
