Farmhouse Green Plum

Uncle Song walked to the edge of the eaves, sat down, groaned loudly, leaned his back against the wall, and almost collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

Daya hurried into the house and poured some water for the three of them, then said, "Grandma, change your clothes first."

After drinking the water, Uncle Song wiped his sweat with the corner of his clothes while looking around the yard, "Where's Tianwa? He hasn't come back again?"

He frowned, his tanned face full of unhappiness.

Thinking of Song Tian's panicked expression, Daya felt a little uneasy, "It should be soon."

"Have the ducks been driven back?" Li asked again.

"Not yet," Daya said anxiously, pointing to the basket on the mat, "the grain has not been harvested yet."

Yang's face darkened slightly, "Hurry up and collect them. I'll go and catch them."

As he said this, he quickly went into the house, changed his clothes, picked up the bamboo pole leaning against the wall under the eaves, and walked towards the mud field.

Daya let out a breath quietly, quickly put the remaining grain into the basket, turned around and went into the kitchen to help Li make a fire.

When the meal was almost ready, Song Tiancai came back with the cow. Second Uncle Song cursed with a dark face: "You son of a bitch, where have you been? I asked you to herd the cows, but you didn't come back until the middle of the night. If you don't feed the cows well today, I will break your legs!"

He snatched the rope from Song Tian's hand and led it to the kitchen door. He looked at the cow's belly with the light from the stove. When he saw that the cow's belly was bulging, his expression improved and he asked loudly, "Did you give it water?"

Song Tian's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked to the side, "I fed him. I rushed to the edge of the field to feed him."

Uncle Song finally felt relieved and went into the main room to rest.

Song Tian led the cow to the cowshed and tied it up, then went into the kitchen, hugged Li's arm, and asked with a smile: "Grandma, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

While asking, he looked at the six bowls on the stove. Some green vegetable leaves were floating on the emerald rice soup, and his face could be clearly seen through the gaps.

Song Tian's face fell immediately: "Eating porridge again, the new grain has been harvested, when will we have a solid meal?"

Li slapped his hand away and said, "Eat, eat, eat. All you do every day is eat and swell. The millet hasn't been harvested yet, where can I get the rice to cook you rice?"

After being scolded, Song Tian picked up two bowls of porridge and walked out in shame.

Li scooped a ladle of water and poured it into the empty pot, being careful not to let the remaining fire burn the pot, and also carried two bowls of porridge out. Daya quickly turned off the stove and carried the remaining two bowls out.

The Song family's dinner is a clear, mirror-clear porridge served with a dish of homemade pickles, and this is what they eat every day with few exceptions.

At the dinner table, Second Aunt Yang talked about Third Aunt Liu selling her daughter and sighed, "I used to think she was stingy, but I didn't expect she was so cruel. Although this year's harvest is not as good as last year, it's not to the point of selling her children, but she still sold them to that kind of place!"

Daya was terrified when she heard this. What this meant was that if there was a disaster, people could sell their children, so Second Aunt would only sell herself, right?

"She is shameless and will do anything for a little money. Don't have any contact with her family in the future."

Grandma Li's words brought her back to her senses. Seeing the contempt on Li's face, Daya's fear was reduced a little. The Song family was a big family in Xinghua Village, and they were particularly concerned about face. Even if Second Aunt lost her mind, the clan would not agree.

At this time, Li turned to look at Daya and said, "Especially you, stay away from Liu Daju from now on. She hates you to death."

"Hate me?" Daya was a little confused. She remembered the look Aunt Liu gave her when she came back, as if she really hated her.

But why?
