Reborn in the 1970s, picking up a man to raise a son

After working all morning, Su Xinlan's hands were blistered.

When I returned home at noon, I found that Jiang Cheng had already prepared the meal. It was a simple potato stew with beans and rice. Su Xinlan curiously took a bite with her chopsticks and found that it tasted really good.

"Where did you get these beans? I didn't expect you could cook!" Su Xinlan asked curiously.

"Oh, beans are exchanged for potatoes. Today I took Xiao An out and happened to meet a grandma carrying a basket full of beans, so I exchanged some with her. I have learned to cook from my parents since I was a child. Dad can also cook. My dad used to cook most of the food at home, and my mother and I would eat ready-made meals. Then... there was no later." Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

"Eat quickly, we are still busy in the afternoon!" Jiang Cheng urged again.

This was the first time Su Xinlan had eaten ready-made rice in her life. How should I put it, her eyes suddenly felt a little hot.

After eating and resting for a while, Su Xinlan secretly took out two pairs of labor protection gloves from the space, planning to give a pair to Aunt Qin as well. Her blistered hands could no longer resist rubbing.

When Su Xinlan arrived in the field, Aunt Qin had arrived early and had already pulled up the beans.

Su Xinlan somewhat admired Aunt Qin's physical strength, "Auntie, why did you come so early and didn't even take a break?" She took out the gloves and handed them to her, "Auntie, I have blisters on my hands. I really can’t stand it anymore, and there happen to be gloves in the package that I bought before I went to the countryside, so I brought a pair for you.”

Aunt Qin resisted for a while, but when she saw that she couldn't resist, she could only take the gloves, "Xinlan, I tell you, you must not open this blister. It's best to wait until it gets older." , I'm doing it. Otherwise it will hurt me to death. And if it breaks, it's best not to touch salt water or anything like that, so as not to panic about the sting."

Su Xinlan looked around and saw only a few people working in the fields, so she took out two more red persimmons and said, "Auntie, here are the persimmons. They are picked from the mountains. They are already ripe. Try them. They are sweet." ”

"Xinlan, if you go to the mountains alone, you have to be careful. There are many snakes, insects and beasts in the mountains, so you must be careful." She took a big bite of the persimmon in her hand, "But don't tell me yet. These persimmons are indeed quite sweet. Gai Ming, I will also ask your uncle Qin from my family to go up the mountain to pick some and take them home as snacks." He ate the persimmons in his hands in just a few bites and started to pull the beans again.

The ground was not very wet this month, so it was a bit laborious to pull the beans, but after all, Su Xinlan was very strong and wore gloves, so she worked very quickly, even surpassing Aunt Qin. Not long after the afternoon, a large piece of beans assigned to them was plucked clean.

"Xinlan, you wait here, I'll go push the team's trolley over, and we'll push all the plucked beans into the field over there." After Aunt Qin finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

When the two people next to them saw this, they seemed to be stimulated and worked harder.

Soon, Aunt Qin came over with a trolley, but it was not a trolley. Seeing Aunt Qin's angry look, Su Xinlan knew that she must have encountered some trouble, but she didn't ask any more questions. It would be better to change to a car. This car can hold much more than a small cart.

The two of them worked together to fill the cart fully. Aunt Qin tried to pull it, but she could barely pull it, "Xinlan, you can push it from behind for a while, and I'll pull it from the front."

Everything was going smoothly at first, but when passing by a field ridge, she couldn't pull herself up, and Aunt Qin was so angry that she cursed people.

Su Xinlan went up the mountain to replace Aunt Qin. With a strong effort of her arms and hands, the car got on the road smoothly.

Aunt Qin was shocked on the spot, "Xinlan, pinch Su Xinlan's arm. Xinlan, I didn't expect you to be so thin and strong. Today, my aunt followed you, but you took advantage of it. You don't know, just now When I went to push the cart, I ran into Widow Tian from the village. She snatched away the smaller cart because she was stronger than me. I had no choice but to pull the cart with the mule over. Originally, I I was a little worried that we wouldn’t be able to handle this little car, but now it’s better, we will definitely finish it faster than Widow Tian.”

Along the way, Su Xinlan finally figured out what was going on, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is how it is in this village, everything as small as a soybean has to be fought over.

In this way, three large carts were pulled back and forth, and finally all the beans in the field were emptied. After Su Xinlan and Aunt Qin returned the carts, they found the scorekeeper to record the work points. Aunt Qin did not forget to go to Widow Tian to show off.

Su Xinlan had no intention of continuing to work. She looked at the time and saw that it was only half past three in the afternoon. She planned to take advantage of this time to buy some vegetables from a house in the village that grew more vegetables.

Previously, because she was the one cooking, she had always eaten the food in the space, so she never thought about this problem. Now that she had to go to work, and Jiang Cheng was the one cooking, she had to solve the problem of eating food. Fortunately, in addition to vegetables, she has a lot of other grains in the kitchen, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

Aunt Qin had the same thought. She was thinking of taking the time to make a cotton-padded jacket and return it to Su Xinlan.

On the way home together, "Auntie, I'm new to the village, and I don't live in the educated youth area. I'm too embarrassed to pick vegetables there. I want to ask you, is there any family in our village that grows a lot of vegetables? I I want to buy some.”

"You're right to ask me about this. The last time you ordered cabbage and radishes from my family, I told them, let's go, I'll take you there first. I want to say that our village grows the most vegetables. It’s Grandma Wang’s house in the east of the village. She and her husband plant a yard of vegetables every year, not because life is hard, but they just can’t have enough time. The two old people only have one daughter. She married into the county. I heard that her husband is some kind of factory. The chief, every month he sends money, food and other good things to the old couple, which makes other old men and women in the village envious."

Su Xinlan seemed to have some impression of the two old men, but she couldn't remember clearly. It was probably that when she married in the village, the old man had already been taken to live in the city by her daughter!

Su Xinlan didn't know that as soon as she left, something happened again.

Zhang Xiaorui, who was in the field, originally wanted to show off himself, but after working for a long time, his hands were scratched in several places. After lunch, I went to the field slowly and didn't work actively. I heard from others that Su Xinlan had finished the work, so I hurriedly ran to the field to find Su Xinlan, asking her to help him with the remaining work. , turned around in a big circle, saw no one, and was criticized by Li Dahe who came to check.

Zhang Xiaorui hates that!

But she really couldn't hold on any longer and had no choice but to ask others for help. She couldn't count on anyone who was an educated youth. Everyone knew what kind of person she was and didn't want to get involved with her.

She had no choice but to turn her attention to the villagers. At this time, a man named Li Erwa came into her sight.

I don’t know how Zhang Xiaorui communicated. Anyway, in the end, Zhang Xiaorui’s work was all helped by Li Erwa.

Su Xinlan followed Aunt Qin and bought a lot of vegetables from Grandma Wang's house, such as beans, eggplants, green peppers, carrots, and green radishes. Of course, after she separated from Aunt Qin, Su Xinlan took out celery, tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers, and sesame seeds from the space. Yams, coriander, etc., filled a large basket and took it home.
