After thinking about it, Hua Lingling answered the phone. There was nothing she could do. She was so bored here that she felt like she was going to get moldy and hairy. It was even more sad than the time when her daughter left home for school.

It's not that she can't go out, but she thought that there was nothing else to do outside, just wandering around, which would delay other people's work. So she simply endured it. After all, she had experience, so she just played with her mobile phone. If that didn't work, she would pick up her previous idea and find something more to do.

The call was connected, but Hua Lingling didn't say anything.

"Hey, youngest."

When the other party saw that the call was actually connected, he was extremely happy. You could tell his happiness from the rising tone of his voice.

"Well, is there anything wrong, brother?"

She didn't like too much small talk because she didn't have much to say to Hua Jiafu.

"Oh, there is something. Xiaowei is dating someone and is planning to bring him home. I thought you'd come back, so I wanted to ask you to come and take a look. The guy is from another place, and we don't know much about him, so we can only find a few more people to help take a look."

Hua Jiafu's tone of voice was always high and proud, and it sounded like he was quite satisfied with Hua Xiaowei's partner. As for what he said, "find someone to take a closer look", it was probably mostly polite words. At least there was no uncertainty in Hua Jiafu's tone.

"Brother, I'm not in L City. Congratulations to Xiaowei for finding a partner. If you ever get married, let me know and I'll definitely give her a big red envelope as your aunt."

As for attending, that's not necessary. A divorced woman like her would definitely be very unwelcome in her hometown, so she wouldn't go back to listen to the gossip.

"Ah? You left again! Where did you go? Why didn't you tell me before you left? I was thinking about getting together someday."

Hua Lingling didn't believe a word Hua Jiafu said. If he really wanted to get together, why didn't he mention it when she was in L City or when she returned to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year?

Hua Lingling didn't know what kind of mood she was in now that the siblings had come to this point, since they were such good brothers and sisters when they were young.

We can only be thankful that the two of them did not become enemies.

After hanging up the phone, Hua Lingling moved towards the window again.

Outside, I saw the beans and peanuts growing as tall as my palm. There were also lentils, kidney beans, and string beans planted on the edges of the fields. These were just on the surface, but there were still people taking care of them, with one person managing several acres of land.

Unlike in the space, there are teams of ten people, each team has its own crops and divided fields, and they are always busy except for eating and sleeping. That's why Hua Lingling can't stay in the space. The contrast is too obvious, making her feel that she is too lazy! What a piece of shit! Too much time wasted! Too much shame!

I don’t know if Hua Jiafu told other people about the call, but she received another call from Wang Hongying.

Hua Lingling didn't want to answer the call at first. After all, she couldn't guess what Hua Jiafu was going to say, but she could guess with her toes what Wang Hongying was going to say. She didn't want to torture her ears and her little heart, but she had to answer the call because of her status.

Who said she was her mother?

Hua Lingling took a few deep breaths, and when she saw that the phone was about to hang up, she quickly picked up the phone.

"mom."

Apart from the word "Mom" she shouted when she answered the phone, Hua Lingling was unable to utter a complete word afterwards.

"Why are you leaving again?"

"If your second brother hadn't told me that I could get through to you, would I have never been able to find you? What's the difference between giving birth to you and not giving birth to you!"

"By the way, your second brother said that you don't plan to come back? Xiaowei finding a partner is such an important matter, how can you, as an aunt, not come back to take a look? It's not like you are too busy to get away. I heard from your second brother that you haven't been in charge for a long time. You just go out and play every day. Even so, I still don't see you all year round. What's the point of having a daughter like you!"

"You are like this, and your elder sister is like this too! No wonder old people always say 'raise children to provide for old age', look at you two sisters!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Anyway, no matter how much I say, you two sisters don't even know how to write the word 'filial piety'. I don't expect you two to take care of me in my old age. Fortunately, I still have you two brothers, otherwise... forget it, it's my bad luck that I don't have the blessing of having daughters!"

"By the way, how are you and Mingyue doing? Have you been in touch? Did he say when to get the marriage certificate? I've told you so many times, a man is in his prime at 41, while a woman is as shabby as tofu at 40. With someone like you, who else would want you except Mingyue? Don't be stubborn, just do what's appropriate, don't wait until Mingyue gets fed up and turns around to marry a virgin. You'll regret it so much that you won't even have a place to cry!"

……

Wang Hongying had never been so harsh to her daughter Hua Lingling before. But ever since Hua Lingling got divorced, Wang Hongying's image as a loving mother collapsed in front of Hua Lingling. Every time she called, she would say all kinds of words that belittled Hua Lingling, which made Hua Lingling depressed. She even needed to muster up the courage to answer her calls.

Hua Lingling didn't have the courage to answer. If Wang Hongying heard Hua Lingling's voice, she would attack like crazy as if she had a super double card, so Hua Lingling learned to shut up.

Moreover, Wang Hongying didn't need Hua Lingling's answer. She could talk for two or three hours without stopping. Just like on the second day of the Chinese New Year, if it wasn't for lunch, who knows how long Wang Hongying would have talked.

Now, Hua Lingling put her cell phone on the cabinet farthest from her, and then rested her chin on her hand and watched the busy scene outside.

Watering, weeding, and thinning.

She obviously grew up in the countryside and was a very hardworking child when she was young. She always scored the highest among the children. Later, when the land was distributed and production was contracted to each household, she would go to open up wasteland alone. In the first year, she harvested two full wheelbarrows of soybeans. Her mother talked about this to others for many years.

Just before her divorce, every time she went back home, she could hear her mother talking about the interesting things that happened when they were young, and everything about her was related to work.

But no one would have thought that she, who was extremely diligent when she was a child, became very lazy when she reached middle age. Even compared with the retired soldiers, she could still sit here shamelessly and continue her sentimentality.

"Hey! Hey! Youngest one! Hua Lingling! Where are you, little kid? Are you listening to me?"

Wang Hongying's loud voice came from the mobile phone on the cabinet. Although Hua Lingling didn't hear it loud, she still couldn't help but frown.
