Zhang Chunnuan took the potatoes and sweet potatoes, covered the bamboo basket as it was, and entered the farm with a thought.

When she opened the operation panel, she saw that the few rice seeds she had just planted two hours ago had sprouted, and the wild vegetables she had just harvested not long ago were also growing new leaves.

Seeing this, she quickly planted potatoes and sweet potatoes, and looked at the entire farm for a while, thinking about how to get more seeds.

On the other side, Father Shen ate the roasted sweet potatoes with their skins clean before walking quickly towards the cotton field.

After arriving at the cotton field, he first found the team leader in charge of keeping records and asked about the scope of the cotton field he was responsible for, and then plunged into the cotton wadding.

Not far from Father Shen, Li Suizui winked at the village women beside him and whispered:

"Look, Huzi's father is working alone again, and Zhang Chunnuan is hiding at home and being lazy again!"

"She also has this fate. Even if she doesn't work or earn work points, she still has food and clothing, unlike us..." Another village woman's tone was full of envy.

"Whoever is like her, lazy, poisonous, and restless!" These words are full of jealousy.

"Don't say that. She is pregnant with a baby in Chunnuan, and the sun is so hot now, so she should not go to the ground."

The speaker was a sweet-looking little daughter-in-law, wearing a 90% new shirt, with a pair of rice-sized pear dimples looming around her mouth as she spoke.

Hearing her voice, several village women who had been talking passionately before suddenly fell silent.

If someone else had interrupted, they would definitely have gone up to fight to win or lose, but facing this young woman, they did not dare to say another word.

But just because they didn't dare to say it didn't mean that others didn't. When Li Suizui saw her helping Zhang Chunnuan speak for him, he sneered and said:

"Daughter-in-law Huacheng, although you are a new daughter-in-law and are not sensible, you have to think carefully before speaking. Don't let outsiders think that the village chief uncle and aunt didn't teach you well."

"We are all old farmers. Although I haven't given birth yet, everyone else here has two or three children at home. Who doesn't work with a big belly all day long?"

"Don't talk about it at all, just talk about it quickly. Her three babies were all born on the ground. Why don't they twist their umbilical cords, turn their backs and continue working? Why should she, Zhang Chunnuan, be so special!"

She is also a celebrity in the village for her fast-talking voice, and is known throughout the production brigade for speaking without thinking beyond words.

The woman who was called Huacheng's wife pulled a small face and said word by word: "First of all, although I am married to Huacheng, I have a name. Please call me Wang Dongxue.

Secondly, most of the uncles and aunts in the village are sensible. Even if I say something wrong at a young age, they will not think that my father-in-law and mother-in-law did not teach me well."

At this point, she took a deep breath and continued: "Finally, don't think that I don't know anything when I just married into Shanjiao Village. Chunnuan doesn't care about you because she is educated and well-educated.

She is well-fed and well-clothed even if she doesn't go to work. It's useless no matter how much you envy her. If your husband's family doesn't treat you as a human being, do you think other women don't treat you as a human being?"

With that said, she glanced at Li Suizui with disdain, turned and left.

She originally didn't want to come here to talk to these talkative women. If her mother-in-law hadn't wanted her to make some friends and drove her over, she wouldn't have bothered to listen to their nonsense!

Li Suizui was so angry that his lips trembled. He glanced at Wang Dongxue's back bitterly, turned to the others and said, "Isn't it just that she has been studying for a few years? Who are you looking down on! If we really want to talk about it, she has to call me."

Where’s my cousin!”

None of the women agreed with her.

One of the women with a square face said sarcastically: "Actually, I think Huacheng's daughter-in-law has nothing wrong with what she said..."

Before she could finish her words, another woman retorted: "Where is she right? Third daughter-in-law, aren't you afraid just because her natal family is from the countryside?"

"I... my Dazhu said that Huacheng's wife has five brothers from her mother's family. She is the youngest and the most favored in the family. I don't dare to offend her. I'm going over there after harvesting this piece of cotton."

Before she finished speaking, the square-faced woman turned around and left quickly.

The few women who were left behind looked at each other in disbelief, and Li Suizui gritted his back molars with hatred.

Not counting the fact that there is Zhang Chunnuan in the village, but now there is Wang Dongxue, who is still struggling with him!

…

Father Shen quickly entered the cotton field and quickly collected half a bag of cotton.

As he walked, he suddenly found that everyone else had been left behind, and there was no one around him.

Thinking of the help Zhang Chunnuan had asked him to do in the yard, Huzi's father swallowed hard.

Just take a few cotton seeds, it shouldn't matter... right?

With this in mind, he slowly stretched out his hand, pulled down a few cotton buds, stuffed them into the bag, and made a downward compacting motion while stuffing them.

Looking around warily, the hands in the bag carefully peeled off the cotton seeds.

After living for most of his life, this was the first time he had done something "bad", but he didn't expect that the more nervous he was, the slower his movements would become.

Just when he was so busy that he was sweating profusely, a hand suddenly fell on his shoulder, which made his heart skip a beat and he almost fainted. Fortunately, a familiar voice rang in his ears the next moment -

"Brother, take a rest when you are tired and don't work so hard."

Father Shen's chest heaved violently, and he quietly took his hand out of the bag. In his clenched hand lay a cotton seed soaked with sweat.

"You old guy, you don't make any sound when you walk, I almost fainted because of you!"

As he spoke, he quietly put his hands into his trouser pockets, squatted down, and with his other hand pulled out the pipe stuck in his belt, looking at the old man in a hat who also squatted down.

"Seeing that Nuan'er is about to give birth and there is another child in the family, I want to work more and go up to the mountain after work to have a look..."

"Alas..." The old man in the hat sighed, "Your tiger... what a pity!"

Father Shen twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a bitter smile: "It's all fate. I just pity Nuan'er. Her life is miserable!"

"Brother, you are the one who really has a hard life..." The old man in the hat also took out his cigarette, thought about it, and put it away again, "Being a father and a mother at the same time, I finally raised my baby up and saw that I can

Enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren, but something like this happened again..."

The old man in the hat sighed three times in one sentence, "Oh... Brother, you must tell me if you want to go up the mountain. I will ask my Huacheng to accompany you."

Father Shen also put away his cigarette, shook his head and said, "Huacheng has only been married for a few days, so it's not easy to go up the mountain."

The two were talking when Zhang Chunnuan's voice came from far away: "Dad, uncle the village chief!"

Father Shen looked at the village chief and asked, "Dad Hua Cheng, I seem to hear my Nuan'er's voice."

The village chief stood up and looked around, only to see Zhang Chunnuan walking towards him, holding his big belly in one hand and carrying an earthen pot in the other.
