Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

Yang Qingqing heard good news when she returned home

"Aunt, I will have a week off starting tomorrow. My teacher told me to help my family with the autumn harvest."

Wen Yuan jumped up and down to announce that they were going to have a holiday, not realizing that he would also have to go to the autumn harvest.

Yang Qingqing looked at Wen Jing and Wen Xuan, asking them if they were really

After getting the affirmative answers from the two people, she saw the ugly faces of the two people and asked

"Wenjing, are you worried about the autumn harvest?"

"Well, none of us have participated before. This is the first time. Other families will participate, but there are only a few of us in our family. I'm afraid we won't be able to do well."

"It's okay. I'll talk to your second uncle and second aunt later and ask them to go find your uncle Changhui and ask him to find you an easier job. If it doesn't work, we'll just quit. Don't worry, your aunt can support you."

Yang Qingqing thought that they were all children, and in this era, they all needed to help with the work, but they couldn't hurt their health because of it.

Anyway, she has the confidence that even if her family does nothing, they will not starve to death.

But she didn't want to be exposed on the one hand, and also didn't want Wen Jing and Wen Xuan to develop a habit. It would also be good for them to let them experience the hard work of farmers.

After all, they have lived here for at least ten years, and they can’t be ignorant and out of tune with the villagers.

As for Yang Qingqing herself, she only found out today that her job actually allows her to have two days off a week.

This made her very happy, as the work was easy and she had plenty of time to rest.

So she planned to go to work with them during the weekends.

On the one hand, she is setting an example for the children, and on the other hand, she is reminding herself not to be arrogant.

As for why she has to work so hard, it is because she knows herself. She is not the kind of person who will listen to advice with just a few words. She must experience it personally before she can remember it.

She now reminds herself all the time not to be different from others, but sometimes there are still some things that are different from others.

For example, other people never peel potatoes or sweet potatoes, and our family doesn’t always eat rice and flour. We may not eat meat or wear new clothes for a year.

But these are not a big deal for Yang Qingqing. Yang Qingqing feels that after these two months, not only he but also Wenxuan and others have begun to take it lightly.

She was no longer as cautious as she was at the beginning. It was only when she was riding in the car today and heard someone else's conversation that she realized this.

That was the case

"Brother Ma, have you heard about it recently? It's about Wang Fenjin's family in Dawang Village. The clothes they wear are all new, without a patch. And his two children look so good that you can tell they eat well. They are fair and tender, and they are completely different from other children.

As a result, the whole family was reported last month, and people with red armbands went into their house to search it, but they didn’t find anything.

But the whole family has not received any news for almost a month, and we don’t know what’s going on.”

"How do you know? I haven't heard of it. What does his family do? Someone reported it."

"And I also heard it from my wife. Isn't her family close to Dawang Village? That family has only one worker, and the rest of them work on the land. If things suddenly get better, wouldn't that make people jealous?

My wife said that the clothes in her family were all patched up before, and now that they are wearing nice clothes, they must be resentful.

Their family has a good reputation in the village, and they haven’t offended anyone before, so someone reported them.”

When Yang Qingqing heard this, she suddenly reflected on her family. She usually didn't pay much attention to it, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she realizes that there are still many loopholes in her family.

Although I didn’t specifically promote the food I ate, I didn’t deliberately avoid people.

All the clothes I wore were newly made by Yang Qingqing. I hadn't worn my old clothes for a long time.

Now the villagers don’t have any ideas, maybe because they are new arrivals and they still have the halo of being the children of martyrs.

It is normal for them to have money, but if Yang Qingqing does not want to lower her living standards, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

Even with the help of Yang Qinghe's family, it was not justifiable. She felt that the first person to doubt her was Yang Qinghe.

So when she came back and heard that it was vacation time and she had to go to work in the fields, she felt great.

It can exercise the children and also let the villagers know about them.

Leave them with a good impression, and then she will try to make some corrections, maybe she can fool them.

But what should Yang Qinghe do? Yang Qingqing didn't find a solution, so she could only take it one step at a time.

Yang Qingqing and Yang Qinghe told him about the work of Wen Jing and Wen Xuan.

Before Yang Qinghe could say anything, Ma Liyue said

"Don't worry! They won't be asked to do particularly strenuous work. The younger ones will mainly pick up rice ears, and the older ones will help hold the rice stalks. It's not heavy work.

No family wants their children to be tired. Unless they really can’t make ends meet, they will let their children do more work to earn more work points.

Everyone in the village knows this. Although working there is not tiring, it is very exhausting to get up early and stay up late every day. Therefore, those who do not work will be too tired to get out of bed. It is very torturous. You have to prepare lunch for them, and they may come back later than you do at work.

We must also be careful not to let them get sick from exhaustion. Even if they are not working, and it is not physical work, we still need to pay attention to their health.

I have already talked to my brother about this before, they have already started the busy farming season for half a month, and it will be almost over in just another half a month.

But the school children only have one week off, mainly for their training.”

Yang Qingqing felt relieved after hearing what her second sister-in-law said. She went home and explained the situation to Wen Jing and the others.

Take out the five lunch boxes and prepare lunch for them tomorrow.

Although she no longer had to get up early to catch the bus, she still didn't have enough time, so she had to prepare it the night before.

But we have to make the villagers feel that they are living a good life without being too extreme, which is a bit difficult.

She thought about it and finally decided to prepare three buns and an egg for each person.

She thought that the villagers would give their families better food after the autumn harvest, so hers should be better than the average family's, but not too out of the ordinary.

She thought that Wen Jing and Wen Xuan were older, so she filled in one for each of them.

She deliberately did not choose meat as the filling for the buns, but instead chose radish, black fungus and vermicelli.

She felt that she had really racked her brains to come up with a good idea. She would wait and see what Wen Jing and the others would say about her tomorrow.

Yang Qingqing even went out of her way to find an enamel jar for drinking water tomorrow.

She is really grateful for the popularity of retro style in the future, so that she can find something usable in the supermarket
