Chapter 170
Mrs Zhang shrugged: "It's too late to dig."
When Liu Shi and Mrs. Bai heard it, they were so angry that they almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Mrs Liu screamed, "How is this possible? I saw Sister Wu come back with a basket of wild vegetables just now. How could you have not dug a single one of them."
Mrs Zhang smiled coldly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law Wu came back with a basket of wild vegetables, which means that we also have to carry a basket of wild vegetables? She is her, we are us, and we don't have the skills she does."
Mrs. Liu pointed at Mrs. Zhang's nose and scolded: "You, you are obviously lazy and don't know where to hide to rest. The family of four is not as good as Sister Wu, who is over forty years old. Say it out. All shame."
Zhang Shi said: "What I'm saying is that it is really shameful to say this. There are nine members of our family. In the past, when Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi were there, we had food every day. Now Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi are gone. We are a big family. There's no food to eat."
Old lady Bai glared at her son Bai Erzhu, "Erzhu, tell me, did you dig wild vegetables today?"
Bai Erzhu didn't dare to look into the old lady's eyes, looked elsewhere, raised his neck and said, "Go, didn't you all see it, we went late, and we didn't dig anything."
Bai Dazhu has always had a big appetite, and he was too hungry to eat without two meals. After listening to Bai Erzhu's words, he was even more angry: "You still have the face to say that you have to go early to dig wild vegetables, and you are so late, why are you going now? manage?"
Bai Erzhu was disciplined by the elder brother, and his temper also came up: "Brother, what qualifications do you have to discipline me? Do you get up earlier than me, or do you work more than me? At least our family went out, how about you? Your family rests. Waiting for the meal, what kind of face to teach us?"
The yard was lively again. You said something to me, and no one was to be outdone, just for a meal, but no one was willing to do this, just thinking that others would deliver the meal to their mouths.
At this time, they finally remembered the benefits of Zhao Lan's presence. They didn't have to take note of the farm work outside. They had three meals a day at home, and they didn't have to worry about it. Now that the mother and daughter have left the Bai family, everything Not the same.
Bai Zhenzhu looked at the big family in front of him, and felt desperate in his heart, his face was burning hot, not because he had been roasted by the sun for a long time, but because of the pitiful and pitiful situation at this time.
In order to fill her stomach at night, old lady Bai had to lead a large family out of the house again. Under the scorching white sun in the afternoon, a family of nine people, except for Bai Dazhu's inconvenient hand, did not come out, and the rest of the eight people were all dispatched. No one takes advantage of anyone.
Mrs. Bai has not done any farm work for many years, and she has even forgotten where her family's fields are. On the way to dig wild vegetables, she saw a green field of green wheat that is growing very well. Shang Sui, as long as they reach that time, the Bai family will be able to eat the food they grow. Thinking of this, she swallowed a saliva and saw two deserted paddy fields in the distance. She pointed to the two paddy fields. Said: "Who is so shameless, how can the paddy fields be left uncultivated? In a place like ours, even if all the family members die and there is only one person left, the fields must not be left uncultivated."
Bai Erzhu glanced at the deserted paddy field over there, frowned slightly, and said nothing.
