Chapter Seventy-six Roasted Corn

  Looking at these two with a surprised look, Chen Tianfa felt more and more ashamed, his voice also decreased a lot.

  "Yeah, two days ago, Young Master Wang came over and mentioned this matter to us." After that, the Chen brothers also fell silent.

  After a moment of silence, the eldest of the Chen family said, "Old three, don't be embarrassed, there's nothing wrong with this, and don't worry about our parents' side, we've got everything under control."

  Chen Tianwang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, you can rest assured and leave, we've got everything under control."

  "Big brother... to be honest, I don't have to go to this town either. It's just that the child's mother wants Rui Xuan to attend the academy in the town and also wants to see a doctor for Father, so we're considering it." Chen Tian Fa explained.

  Chen Jia's eldest son patted his shoulder and comforted him, saying: "You shouldn't hang your head either. To be honest, it's more convenient for us to go to the town. In the future, when selling things, tools, bowls, and chopsticks, we can just throw them directly into your house, which saves us from moving back and forth, it's really troublesome."

  Knowing his own brother was comforting himself, Chen Tianfa said emotionally: "Brother......"

  "What's wrong, still a big man?" Chen Jia Dabo joked with him. "A family doesn't speak two languages, besides, we often go to the town and can't help but disturb you, don't get annoyed with us later." Chen Jia Er said with a smile.

  Those girls have already rested and are preparing to start work.

  "What are you guys talking about over there? Hurry up and get to work! The sooner we finish, the sooner we can be done!" Mr. He bellowed loudly.

  The men looked at each other, patted the mud off their bodies and got back to work.

  What is Xi Mei doing at this time? It turns out that this little girl has also started the "picking corn" activity with her sisters. Don't look at the few girls being small, they have done a lot of work. By the time Zhao's family finishes picking the corn, they have already picked more than half of it.

  "Oh my, you girls have done a lot!" said Mrs. Xue and the others in surprise.

  "Of course. And who are we anyway?" Led by Chen Mao Mao, several girls were quite proud.

  "Alright, I know you're all very capable." After saying that, Zhao and the others started picking corn together with the kids. No choice, there's still a lot of work to be done after finishing the corn harvest, how can they not speed up?

  In this way, several children and women picked up corn together, men carried corn, and boys helped to load the corn onto the ox cart.

  Xi Mei's little sister is lazy. After a tiring day, she doesn't want to move at all and as soon as she sees no one around, she lies down on the car. No matter who pulls her, she won't get up.

  "Xi Mei, come down quickly, it's time to go home." Looking at Xi Mei who was lying on the pile of golden corn. Rui Xuan said helplessly.

  "No, big brother, I'm so tired, I don't want to go on." Xiaomei said with a spoiled tone, her attitude unusually firm, jokingly. After being busy for the whole day, she was already exhausted and wanted to collapse, going back now would be asking for her life!

  Looking at the little sister who didn't care about her image, Rui Xuan, who was usually calm and collected, was defeated. He spoke in a gentle tone, "Xi Mei, dear, would you like big brother to carry you back?"

  "I won't..." she dragged out the words, unwilling to give in. Everyone had been tired all day. And if someone else carried her back, wouldn't her mother scold her when she got home?

  Helpless, Rui Xuan couldn't outdo the lazy girl, so he had no choice but to settle her in the carriage and let the ox cart pull her back home.

  The whole family was busy and happy. Finally, when it was about to get dark, they moved all the corn back home.

  "Everyone is tired today, Xi Ju. Go to the village entrance and buy some wine, and also buy some cooked food on the way back." As soon as she entered the yard, Zhao Shi instructed Xi Ju.

  "Wait a minute." He Shi called out to her before she even left the hospital.

  "Big Aunt, what's wrong?" Stopped in her tracks, Jihui asked with a puzzled face.

  "He said while washing: 'Their cooked food is not as delicious as ours, forget it, let's just make do with a casual mouthful.'"

  The child is also tired after a day, and running back and forth will be even more tiring. He Shi, who loves the child, disagrees.

  Zhao saw through her thoughts and smiled: "Alright, you're so fond of the child, as if I were a stepmother."

  "Your aunt has spoken, so let's just make do with a simple meal. Everyone is tired, let's eat and get some rest early."

  A big pot was simmering with corn porridge, on top of which were some white steamed buns. Some pickled vegetables were scooped out from a jar and the whole family ate together in this way.

  One night without a word, the second day Xi Mei woke up in the sweet aroma of corn, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xi He holding a cooked tender corn, dangling it above her nose.

  Seeing her dazed eyes open, Xi He smiled slyly, "Second sister, what did I say? As long as this girl smells the fragrance, she will definitely wake up. Now I've won, right? You can wash all the bowls today, I'm going out to play."

  After finishing speaking, he jumped and ran out of the house.

  Leaving Xi Mei in the original place, resentfully looking at Xi Mei, tapping on Xi Mei's head who was still in a daze, said: "Can't you give me some face?"

  "Look at you, still dazed and confused. Forget it, forget it, I shouldn't have had any hopes for you in the first place. Just go back to sleep."

  After finishing speaking, he shook his head and walked straight out of the yard.

  Only Xī Mèi was left in the house, feeling bewildered. What had happened? It seemed that her third and second sisters had made a bet, and her second sister had lost, so she vented her anger on Xī Mèi's head? Wū wū, who had she provoked now?

  No time to feel sad, just remembered that I haven't sent food to a certain person in the mountain cave yet. Yesterday was because I had to go to the field to harvest rice, so I took a temporary 'leave' for a day, and I don't know what that young master ate yesterday.

  Hastily and nervously putting on her own clothes, she didn't even realize that she had slowly started down the path of becoming an old maid, and still had no self-awareness.

  As soon as I went out, I ran into Zhao's family and was surprised. "Wow, it's rare today! There is freshly cooked tender corn in the pot, help yourself!"

  Zhao thought she was hungry, so she got up early, and kindly 'reminded' her.

  Sister Xi's heart is crying, really, others aren't gluttons, why do they always say such things to her?

  Although I thought so, my feet still involuntarily walked towards the kitchen.

  Because they just harvested corn yesterday, Zhao's family picked out a lot of tender corn for the kids to eat early in the morning.

  After Xi Mei finished eating, she turned her head and saw that Zhao was sweeping the yard. Xiao Ya Tou nervously stuffed a few corns into her bosom and ran to the fence, shouting, "Mother, I'm going out to play!"

  After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao's response and ran far away.

  Watching her daughter run far away, Mrs. Zhao muttered to herself: "This girl usually doesn't go out without washing her face, I don't know what's wrong with her today."

  After thinking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something and said: "Running out every day, one day you'll run into a crazy woman, no way, I'm back, got to tell her."

  At this time, Xi Mei, who was still secretly rejoicing over her own quick movements with the corn in her arms, had no idea that this was just the beginning of her "miserable life", but that's a story for later.

  At this time, she was still thinking about getting to the cave quickly, why? Of course, it's to roast corn with the handsome guy.
