Chapter 297： Lazy

the weather is getting hotter.

When the sun is at its strongest near noon, even the mice hide in their holes.

The village seemed very quiet at this time, only the humming of cicadas.

For peasants, not working is boring, and staying at home is also boring, so many people go to the fenced courtyard to chat and watch TV.

When the big guys got together, they had to talk about what happened to the Chen family some time ago.

"Peach Blossom is really unlucky. Xiangjian met such a family, and you said that things didn't work out. How could that family make trouble?"

"Old Maoer Huang looks very kind, but how could he know that his old lady is so mean, alas."

"It's more than mean! It's just that she mostly stayed at home in the past, and no one outside knew that's all. Her eldest daughter-in-law was tortured out of her appearance less than two years after she married, and now she's fighting for a divorce."

Qi Qi was serving herbal tea to her aunts and aunts, when she heard someone mentioning the second uncle's house, she immediately stretched her ears.

She has also been to Erbo's house in the past two days. Sister Taohua still smiles every time she sees her, but the smile is not as happy as before.

"His family is full of chicken feathers, hum, the old lady of Huang's family is so disgusting, just Peach Blossom—" the speaking woman paused, and lowered her voice, "Peach Blossom's reputation has been completely ruined by her now! She was kicked out of our house last time." After she went back to the village, she sang about peach blossoms everywhere, saying that peach blossoms are promiscuous and disobedient, calling peach blossoms a prostitute, messing with men and women and so on! Anyway, it has been spread all over the world now, and the spread is terrible! I am afraid that no one will dare to meet peach blossoms in the future Look... that old woman is really not a person!"

"She's making such a fuss, to put it bluntly, isn't it for the benefit? When you came last time, you heard her keep asking Jianhejia to give an explanation, saying that she would pay compensation, didn't she just stare at the food factory? Now the workers in the factory Her salary is at least two hundred and fifty yuan a month, and the one hundred and eighty yuan a month that she works hard to set up a stall with her son is not that much? She is not jealous!"

"Look, this kind of family will suffer retribution sooner or later, and you will see who dares to marry into their family in the future!"

Serving the elders a bowl of herbal tea, Qiqi turned on the electric fan in the main room to cool everyone down.

After finishing, the little boy went to the yard, squatted in the shade of the loquat tree in the corner of the yard, with a slumped face, and practiced calligraphy with the branches.

One thing or another, absent-minded.

"You little brat, why do you have to worry about so many things?" Eggy jumped out. The chicken paws bounced on the muddy floor, grasping the words that the little baby had just written so that they couldn't make out clearly.

"Eggy, don't make trouble, I'm practicing calligraphy." Qi Qi pursed her lips, and held the chicken aside with her little hands.

As soon as he let go of his hand, Xiaoji Zaier came to make trouble again.

"Why is your little chicken so skinny!" Qi Qi got angry and tried to grab the little chicken.

"I'm telling you, your face is as ugly as these words."

"Nonsense, Qiqi looks good! My nose and mouth are as beautiful as my mother's, and my eyes are as beautiful as my father's!"

Looking sideways at the little baby's unconvinced demo, the corners of Eggy's lips curled up.

Really smug.

One person was playing in the room, and the sound of footsteps came from outside the fence.

Qiqi immediately stood up, poked her head and looked out.

Outside, Chen Jianhe and Taohua father and daughter, one carrying a **** and the other carrying a sickle and dung dustpan, were walking back along the path outside the courtyard.

Looking in this direction, it should be to Uncle Heizi's house.

"Second Uncle, Sister Taohua, the sun is so hot now, what are you going to do?" Wa'er held the low fence wall with her small hands, stood on tiptoe, and tried to stretch her little head to talk to the people outside.

Seeing her, Chen Jianhe, who was originally stern, showed a smile on his face. He poked his big hand over the wall and rubbed his baby's head, "Second uncle, go clean up your uncle Heizi's yard. It won't take much effort. , I’ll go home later.”

"Why doesn't Uncle Heizi clean up the yard by himself? He is young and powerful!" Wa'er was even more puzzled.

Chen Jian and the elders naturally wouldn't explain anything, but they looked a little uncomfortable.

Taohua still smiled, and explained to Qiqi in a low voice, "Last time he helped my family, so let's help him clean up the yard, and it will be considered as repaying the favor."

After she finished speaking, the black air around the old father became more intense, and her brows couldn't be lowered anymore.

Peach Blossom is helpless.

This time, they didn't actually want to come by themselves.

This is the exchange condition proposed by Heizi.

The last time he helped drive away the old lady of the Huang family, her father said casually during dinner at home, if there is any difficulty in the future, just say, he will help once he can.

Who would have thought that Heizi was not polite at all, and immediately said, then help me tidy up the yard at home, the grass grows too high, there are too many mosquitoes, and it is inconvenient to walk.

Almost out of breath, her father threw the bowl on the spot.

After that, her dad scolded the lazy things at home every day, and he didn't even take care of his own yard.

Qiqi watched Erbo and Sister Taohua walk away, blinked her eyes, turned around and ran back to the kitchen, picked up a pot of herbal tea and ran out.

The weather is so hot now, she will feel thirsty after working for a while, so she brings herbal tea to the second uncle and the others.

By the time she ran to the dilapidated yard, work had already started inside.

Chen Jianhe has always worked neatly, with great strength and quick movements, and he cleared a corner of the yard's weeds in a short time.

The weather is hot in summer, and the weeds in the yard grow luxuriantly.

Because it has not been cleaned all year round, there is an unpleasant smell in the air, and mosquitoes and flies are flying around.

Chen Jian and the elders were so angry that they were cursing while working.

"You said how long it's been since you came back, maybe half a year? You've been living in this kennel for the past six months, and you didn't even take care of your own kennel?"

"Such long hands and feet, show them? An embroidered pillow? I'm too lazy to do any work. How do you know how to eat with your hands?"

"If my son is so lazy, I will clean him out of the house directly!"

The man scolded fiercely, and his words were full of hatred.

When Qiqi first entered the door, when she heard the scolding, she was worried that Uncle Heizi's unscrupulous temperament would force her to sing against the second uncle.

It made the second uncle even more angry and made the fight even more rigid.

As a result, when I looked up, I saw that the old man was there, sitting on a stool with only three legs at the door of the main room, with drooping eyebrows and eyes, and there was no movement at all.

I feel at ease now.

Qiqi, "..." Watching the elders work for me, I feel at ease!

Tao Hua was also working hard, as if she hadn't seen the person sitting at the door of the main room, and she also felt a little bit of energy when she was working.

Don't shout dirty and don't be afraid of getting tired.

Under the bright sun, in a short while, the neck and back are already covered with sweat.
