Chapter 501： No matter how hard you work, no matter how much you gain!

Chapter 501 No pain, no gain!

The village chief wore a big straw hat, and his only free-moving arm was no longer free to wave his pipe and pot.

At this moment, he was also carrying a bucket, stopping from time to time to shout to the villagers, "Everyone, please work harder, we can water all the melon fields today!"

"Others are afraid of drought, but we are not! In Qingshui Village, the drought was much worse than this one, but we survived it anyway!"

"Haha, I got it, uncle village chief!" A man wiped his sweat and smiled brightly, "What we water is not water, but gold seeds. The drier the weather, the sweeter the melons! We will definitely get rich again this year. !”

Others also laughed, and a woman shouted, "If the money is divided again this year, my family will be able to marry a daughter-in-law."

“My family is the same, haha! What we are watering is not water, but our daughter-in-law and fat grandson!” Another woman also said with a smile, and finally looked under the big tree on the ground with her feet raised.

There was a straw mat placed there, and Aunt Wu was taking care of Hui Niang's twins.

The twins had just learned to sit up, and were only wearing bellybands and shorts. They were as fat as rollers, and everyone fell in love with them.

Especially for older women, they wish they could have two such fat babies in their family in the blink of an eye!

Huiniang also wore a straw hat and watered the water with the villagers.

A woman asked, "Sister Huiniang, Dayong and the others have been away for two months. Is there any news back?"

Huiniang smiled and said: "Yes, I heard that I have won many battles and I think I will be back soon."

"That's good. I'll raise a few more chickens this year. When the Marquis and others come back, I'll kill them and stew them in a big pot to add to the celebration banquet!" After the woman finished speaking with a smile, she aroused the acquaintance. Several companions laughed.

One of the young wives said: "Oh, it's rare for my sister-in-law to be generous. She almost broke my head because of an egg before, but now she has really changed her gender!"

The woman blushed earlier and said angrily: "Isn't life difficult in the past? One egg can be exchanged for a handful of salt, which is enough for the family to eat several meals! Now that life is good, of course we can be generous.

“Aunt Li said, be more generous when doing things, don’t worry about it, let’s all take advantage of it, our life will be better, and our financial path will be wider!”

“Aunt Li is right,” the women all nodded.

Someone took advantage of the situation and asked: "I saw that my aunt took Fu Niu'er and left in a carriage in the morning. Is this going to Luo'an again?"

"Yes," Hui Niang answered this time, "Jiaren is about to take the scholar examination. Auntie is worried about it, so of course she has to go and have a look. But the village is carrying water to water the melons and seedlings again, and Auntie is not worried, so she decided to wait until today , Sister-in-law Hongying and I persuaded her to leave."

“Oh, we didn’t know about this!” a woman yelled, “If I had known, I would have told my aunt to leave long ago. These menial jobs in the village are just trivial matters, but Jiaren’s examination for talents is a big deal!”

“Yes, Jiaren is so smart and can endure hardships. This time, taking the scholar test will definitely be as easy as a sure thing. You can’t go wrong!”

"I heard that Jiaren is now famous in Xindu? Did the gentleman who writes left-hand calligraphy take him out to participate in some poetry meeting, and his handwriting was praised by a high official?"

“Ask the village chief, he knows best!”

“We are also raising children, but how come all the boys in Aunt Li’s family are so successful! When it’s our family’s turn, these naughty boys don’t go to Fangjiewa. I’m so thankful!”

“That’s the one in my house. I’m beaten eight times a day and I’m not even relieved!”

While the women were working, they were chatting enthusiastically.

Although everyone expressed disdain for his son, there was a bright smile on his face.

The children you give birth to, whether they are good or not, are all a matter of your heart!

The village chief slapped his sore waist twice, put down the bucket, and looked at the large melon fields. He was also happy. This is already the third time of watering. The melon vines have not suffered any thirst and are growing very well.

The melon leaves are green, and there are pot-sized melons hidden in the leaves. Half of the face is shyly exposed, which makes people drool when they see it. They want to smash one open immediately and eat it to their heart's content!

It’s always a reward for every effort!

Melons are also planted in Dahuaishu Village, Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang, and they are watered continuously throughout the spring and summer.

But the villagers are lazy and compete with each other when working. Every time San Lizheng shouts and becomes hoarse before he can water a few acres of land.

Now there are melons growing in their fields, but unfortunately they are much different in size and quality than those in Xincun.

Some people say that Xincun is a geomantic treasure land, and the melons grown there are naturally better than those grown elsewhere.

Actually, there is no Feng Shui treasure!

A lazy man will starve to death if he sits in a cornucopia, but the geomantic treasures in the eyes of outsiders were dug out by the old and young with **** and pickaxe...

Under the same scorching sun, the Li family's carriage finally arrived outside the small town of Luo'an.

The thirty acres of land I bought a year ago are now planted with twenty acres of sorghum and millet, leaving ten acres for vegetables.

Wu Laojiu's family are all hard-working people. This spring and summer, they wish they could live in the vegetable field and take care of it in an orderly manner.

Looking from a distance now, the furrows in the ground are as straight as those plowed with a ruler.

 Frames of oil beans, as tall as a person, were blown by the summer wind, waving their palm-like leaves in an enthusiastic manner.

The rows of eggplant seedlings, with the withered leaves below broken off, revealed the shiny purple-black eggplants.

In the vegetable pools, green cabbage, spinach, coriander, rapeseed, and radish with red stems were planted. They looked like a red grid for calligraphy practice, especially regular...

The little girl from the Wu family was as tanned as black coal. She came out of the house carrying a sickle and was about to go to the fields. When she saw the Li family's carriage parked on the side of the road, she hurried over to salute.

Old Mrs. Li smiled and wiped her sweat beads and chatted for a while. When she heard that Wu Laojiu had gone to the canteen to deliver food, she nodded.

Jiayin poked his head out of the car window, handed the little girl a box of snacks, and said, "This is the horseshoe cake. It was just baked in the shop. Take it back and eat it."

The little girl from the Wu family was so happy that she took the box and bowed again. She blushed and said, "The princess is so kind. The girls in the neighborhood are all envious of me! The pearl-studded headband that the princess gave me last time , they said they could sell it for tens of pennies, but my mother was reluctant to let me wear it!"

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Wear it if you want. Work hard. When you get married, I will give you a set of pearls to make up your face. I will make sure you are the most beautiful bride!"

The little girl was shy, her face turned redder, but her eyes were sparkling!

The carriage quickly started moving again and went directly to the small door of the academy canteen.

Li Laosan heard the commotion and ran out to greet his mother and niece, smiling honestly.

“Mom, it’s so hot, why did you come here in the sun? Send me a message, and I’ll pick you up when I go back. We’ll set off in the middle of the night. It’s best to arrive in the morning.”

Old Mrs. Li waved her hand, "Mom has been in the sun for most of her life, so she is not so delicate. But you are busy right now, right?"

Li Laosan helped his little niece step on the stool and got out of the car, and replied: "We are used to it every day, and we don't feel busy. But Wenjuan's small business has been extremely popular these days."

Jiayin wore a water-red gauze skirt today, and her hair was tied into two small buds. She couldn't wait to ask: "Has the third brother brought the passion fruit here and started selling passion fruit drink?"

After saying that, without waiting for Sanbo’s reply, she flew to the water seller’s hut like a butterfly...

Sorry, my dears, I’m late again. Shame on you. I was pruned by my head today, so I really didn’t have time to update it early, so I will post the third update today~~~~
