Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 263 Kind Reminder

Meng Xiuer stroked her belly gently and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, the baby and I will eat more. When we are born, we will be plump and white, and we will ask aunt to hug us every day."

An Yue tilted her head and laughed: "Haha... Auntie loves kisses, hugs and lifting people up the most!"

The two of them smiled as they came to the main hall and sat down on the bench at the octagonal table, and the family began to have lunch.

……

After everyone finished lunch.

Chunzhi and Ale started to collect the dishes, and An Yue stopped them softly, "Everyone stop what you are doing and listen to me talk about our plans for the next two days."

Everyone looked at An Yue.

An Yue said: "There are three things, everyone listen carefully."

"First, we bought so many chickens and ducks. Everyone should be more careful in the future to see if there are any wild animals near our house. Of course, we should also count the number of chickens and ducks."

"The second thing is, when you wake up from your lunch break, Chunzhi, Daniu, and Ale, the three of you go to the yellow land and quickly harvest that acre of wheat."

"Third, after the wheat is harvested, Daniu and Ale, you two should hurry up and dig a cellar."

Everyone repeated in unison: "Digging a cellar?"

An Yue hummed and continued, "The drought is severe now. We need to have a cellar at home to store the food that will save our lives after we harvest the wheat."

After hearing what An Yue said, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Do you remember these three things?"

"Remember, miss." The three answered in unison.

"Well, that's fine, clean up the dishes and go back to the house to rest!"

After An Yue finished talking to everyone, they started to collect the dishes more skillfully.

An Yue turned to Meng Xiuer who was putting the benches back in place and asked, "Sister-in-law, Yueyue also has something to ask you."

Meng Xiuer looked up at An Yue and said, "Yueyue, please speak."

"Sister-in-law, please go and remind Grandma and my aunt about the wheat harvest!"

Meng Xiuer asked doubtfully, "Yueyue means that I should go and tell them?"

An Yue nodded with a "hmm".

An Yue said: "We must remind them to harvest the wheat and bring it home as soon as possible, otherwise a large number of locusts will swarm into our village and we will have nothing to harvest."

An Yue felt anxious when she thought of Gu Mingchuan visiting various villages and coming back to tell her about the situation in other villages.

Meng Xiuer lowered her eyes, shook her head and said in frustration: "They won't listen to me."

An Yue walked over and took Meng Xiuer's hand, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Let's remind them in advance, and it's up to them to decide whether to listen or not."

"But……"

An Yue knew what Meng Xiuer meant, so An Yue quickly said to Meng Xiuer: "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, I will go with you."

With An Yue's company, Meng Xiuer's worries were gradually alleviated.

After saying that, An Yue took Meng Xiuer's hand and walked towards the gate of the yard.

As they walked, they said, "Sister-in-law, when we get there, you don't have to go into the house. Just stand at the door and say a few words to them."

"Well, that's fine! Let's go while they are at home at this hour!"

---------

An Yue accompanied Meng Xiuer to the door of the thatched hut where they lived.

An Yue stood at the corner outside the thatched hut and watched Meng Xiuer knock on the door.

Standing far away, I could hear my grandmother Zhou scolding my aunt Zhang in the house.

"I asked you to do something, but you kept procrastinating all day. Half a day has passed and you have accomplished nothing! What's the point of having you!!"

Meng Xiuer arrived at the front door and heard her grandmother cursing in the house.

She raised her hand to knock on the door, but stopped in mid-air. Then she stood outside the door for a long time, not daring to knock.

After a few breaths, Meng Xiuer turned around and looked at An Yue with frowned brows. An Yue smiled and nodded at her to show encouragement.

At this time, she finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

Hearing a knock on the door, Grandmother Zhou shouted angrily, "Who is it?"

Meng Xiuer responded timidly: "Grandma, it's me, Meng Xiuer."

After a while, my aunt opened the door.

She asked with a haggard face: "Xiu'er, why don't you stay at her house and come back?"

Meng Xiuer lowered her head and explained in a low voice: "Mother, my daughter-in-law came back to discuss something important with you and grandmother."

Grandmother Zhou came to the door and pushed aunt Zhang away with her butt.

Grandmother Zhou asked, "Xiu'er, tell me! What's the matter?"

Meng Xiuer explained her purpose to them, but her aunt Zhang did not take it seriously.

She waved her hands and shook her head: "The wheat in the field is not yet ripe, how can we rush to harvest it!"

This result was within Meng Xiuer's expectations.

However, she was still helpless and could only emphasize again the harm that locusts did to crops.

Grandmother Zhou, who was standing nearby, listened and said nothing more. She just scratched her head thoughtfully.

Grandmother Zhou frowned and asked, "Xiu'er, are you talking about a locust plague?"

Meng Xiuer nodded and replied, "It is said that the crops in other villages have been eaten up by locusts. I think they will reach our village soon."

Grandmother Zhou folded her arms across her chest, her eyes rolling back and forth. She asked, "Xiu'er, has the wheat in that dead girl's field been harvested?"

Meng Xiuer nodded and replied: "Yueyue has already arranged the manpower. She said that after waking up from the lunch break, she will go to the fields to harvest."

Grandmother Zhou frowned and walked back and forth rubbing her hands.

Finally, he turned to Meng Xiuer and said, "Okay, we got it. You can go back first!"

Meng Xiuer turned around and prepared to leave, but her grandmother Zhou suddenly asked, "Xiuer, did she treat you badly while you were with her?"

Meng Xiuer stopped and turned around to answer, "Don't worry, grandma. Yueyue treats her granddaughter-in-law very well. Her morning sickness is not that severe these days."

"Well, go ahead!" Grandmother Zhou waved her hand at Meng Xiuer, signaling her to go back.

The eldest aunt Zhang, who was standing nearby, asked weakly, "Mother, are you really going to listen to Xiu'er and harvest all the wheat in the field?"

Grandmother Zhou didn't say anything else. She just glared at Zhang and closed the door.

An Yue and Meng Xiu'er were about to walk towards their home when An Yue suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, we're already here, why don't we go take a look at the vegetables growing in the black soil?"

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Then the two of them walked towards the black land.

Along the path, locusts of all sizes were jumping back and forth, and one or two could be stepped on to death with every step.

An Yue saw from afar that the eggplants on the eggplant tree were hanging so hard that the branches were almost breaking.

An Yuexi smiled and said, "With Daniu and A'er carrying water to irrigate the fields every other day, the eggplants are growing really well."

Meng Xiuer pointed at the eggplant tree in front of her feet and said with a faint smile: "Yes! Yueyue, look, there are four big eggplants hanging on this eggplant tree."
