Chapter 14 (2/2)

Jinhu et al. were also very happy. They knew that they had done the right thing today, and protected Zhang Jiaohua. They had already subconsciously started protecting Zhang Jiaohua.

Breakfast only had two dishes, one was the snake gourd soup, and the other was hot-pepper fried mudfish. Although there was no refrigerator, the mudfish after having been deep-fried a lot in fragrant oil wouldn't deteriorate in one-two days.

Zhang Jiaohua after eating two big bowls of food had his small belly become really round.

”Mother after eating still has to go flip the sweet potato vines, you will be wait here alone. You must not in any circ.u.mstance run all over the place. I heard from Ma family, that recently some child trafficker had come to the village to steal children. If some disobedient child were to run out to play, he would be captured.” Liu Qiaoye made up a story to frighten her son, so as to avoid having him running around.

”I am not afraid of any child trafficker. The last time, that child trafficker had been driven out by me. If it were not for him being very quick, I would have caught him.” Zhang Jiaohua recalling that day's events, at once felt annoyance rising very much. What a pity, that child trafficker didn't come daily, missed out on so much fun.

”That day you got lucky. If you b.u.mp into a fierce child trafficker, you wouldn't be able to run even if you wanted.” Liu Qiaoye stared coldly at her son. This method was unexpectedly ineffective.

”Then I cannot remain alone at home, I will go along with you to the fields.” Zhang Jiaohua exposed a crafty smile on his face.

”Won't do. Outside the sun is s.h.i.+ning very fiercely.” Liu Qiaoye immediately rejected her son's request.

”Mother doesn't fear the sun, I also don't fear the sun.” Zhang Jiaohua couldn't give up so easily.

Zhang Jiaohua's words made Liu Qiaoye's heart warm, ”Clever son, you care for your mother. Mother will take you along, but you must listen to your Mother's words and you must wear a bamboo hat. Also must stand under the tree shade, you cannot run around wildly.”

A clear and boundless sky, the scorching sun roasting the earth. While walking through the vegetable fields, one could smell the various scents that the various kinds of vegetable leaves were letting out upon being roasted under the scorching heat of the sun. As if these vegetable leaves were being steam cooked by the sun.

After reaching the field, Zhang Jiaohua waited at the side for a while, but he couldn't remain idle. How could brats fear the sun? As far as the brats were concerned, fieldwork was full of enjoyment, why was it said to be exhausting? Only after undergoing the hards.h.i.+ps of life and torture of becoming an adult would they be able to realize the bitterness of this kind of a life.

Flipping the sweet potato vines is also a kind of a skill. In the process of flipping one must be mindful of sorting the entangled vines, and also remain cautious so as to not bring about too much damage to the vine. Otherwise, it would produce the opposite of the desired result.

Liu Qiaoye was a skilled farmer. She had already grasped this technique thoroughly. In her hands, the sweet potato vine seemed just like a leading line used to thread needles. She sorted out the vines neatly and orderly one by one.

Zhang Jiaohua came running over, and in his first attempt at flipping vines, he had managed to pull several sections of the vine.

Although Liu Qiaoye didn't want her son to be just like her generation and do this kind of toiling farmwork for his entire life, but she still patiently taught her son.

Life, ah. No matter how much you dislike it, you still have to comply with the rules of life. If you sow labour, you will reap the harvest.
