Liu Haitao helped Mr. Liu to walk around the courtyard. After a while, both uncle and nephew broke out in hot sweat. When Liu Qiaoxian saw it, he quickly persuaded: "It's so hot, why don't you two sit under the tree to cool down and wait until the sweat subsides?"

It’s not too late either.”

Liu Haitao said: "It's okay to have hot spots. It's okay to let my uncle sweat more. It will promote metabolism and be good for his body and injuries. Walk around for a while and wait until my uncle feels tired before taking a rest."

Liu Laocun said: "Let's rest for a while, go to the shade to sweat, drink some water and then go around."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiaoxian agreed and said: "Okay, okay, take your time, this is not a hurry. I will bring you a stool and pour some water."

Taohua was washing clothes under the jujube tree. She stood up, wiped her hands and said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, I'll help you get it."

Liu Qiaoxian nodded happily and said, "Yeah, okay, you can help move the table under the tree."

The peach blossom table was placed, and she then took out two benches from the room and placed them beside the table.

Liu Qiaoxian held a bowl in one hand and a kettle in the other and smiled and said to his wife and Liu Haitao: "Come on, you two sit down and drink a bowl of water. Don't be in a hurry. Let's take a rest before going around. In the future, we will exercise often to avoid having bad legs."

Combing your tendons is a sin."

Liu Haitao said: "It seems that my uncle's leg is almost healed, but he still doesn't dare to exert any force on his injured leg."

Liu Laocun said: "No, I feel so bloated right now, and my leg feels numb and painful when I touch the ground."

Liu Qiaoxian went on to say: "People say: It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. How many days have you had here? If you want to get better, you have to wait for some time, almost until autumn."

Liu Haitao sighed and said: "Well, we all hope that my uncle's legs will be faster. It is estimated that after autumn, the production teams will almost allocate land to each household. After the land allocation is completed, it will be almost time to arrive at Qinmai.

At that time, we were still waiting for my uncle to be the floor handler, otherwise we wouldn’t even have the ability to hold the handlebar in front of me.”

Liu Laocun took a sip of water and sighed: "Hey, I just don't understand. Isn't it necessary to divide the land? It seems that the collective food cannot be eaten. Alas, this socialist road may have come to an end..."

"Hey! You old thing, don't talk nonsense. Why don't you have a good mouth?" Liu Qiaoxian wanted to go into the house to get a towel for his wife to wipe her sweat. Unexpectedly, she heard her husband just as she stepped through the door.

She complained, so she turned around and quickly intercepted Old Man Liu's words. She turned to Liu Haitao and asked: "I heard that there was a meeting of all party members in the brigade headquarters a while ago, did you hear about it?"

Liu Haitao replied: "I heard that it is about dividing the land again. I'm afraid there will be no production teams in the future. They will be changed into some kind of 'mutual aid group'. The collectively owned fields must be distributed to each household. Our team has a lot of land.

Each person has more than two acres of land. If you add up, your family will be allocated seven or eight acres of land, not including Peach Blossom. If Peach Blossom's household registration comes again, your family will be allocated about ten acres, which is enough for farming now."

Liu Qiaoxian frowned and asked again: "Has the branch been decided? When do you plan to divide it?"

Liu Haitao answered with his fingers: "Now is the learning and mobilization stage. Then there will be a meeting of production team leaders, and then there will be a member meeting. It is estimated that after the crops are harvested in the autumn, the land will be measured. When wheat is sown, it is very likely that

It should be everyone's own, and the production team will be automatically disbanded."

After listening to Liu Haitao's explanation, Liu Qiaoxian's heart seemed to be hanging in the air as if being hung up by a rope. She sighed, as if talking to herself: "Oh, if there are not two or three serious laborers in this family in the future,

But how can we survive? I’m afraid I won’t even be able to eat.”

Liu Qiaoxian's words were not only worrying for others, but also for her own family's future life: Alas, it seems that the collective dissolution is already a certainty. If it is really divided into households, according to the accounting, even if Taohua's household registration is not followed

My natal family moved here, and I, the mother-in-law of three people,

Adding all the numbers together, we have to divide the land into seven acres. Looking at the labor force of our family, not only is the old man getting old, but he is also dragging his injured leg. Whether he can make good use of the land when the land is divided after autumn will have to be dealt with in another way.

One thing to say: What use can I, an old lady, do? My son’s army is just in his prime.

When he was young and strong, he contracted "tuberculosis" again. Although his life was temporarily saved, this disease was called "the disease of wealth" and he could not do any physical work that was too heavy or tiring. Although his daughter-in-law Taohua was also a young man,

, but she is a woman after all, so the village

The work in the crop fields is all physical work, including plowing and raking. How can women cope with it? There are also field technical tasks such as plowing and hoeing, which must be done by young and strong people and experienced farmers.

, I’m afraid not many women can meet these conditions and requirements.

Taohua, who was washing clothes at the side, felt very uncomfortable when she heard these words. She said to Aunt Liu: "Why don't I just move here first? If I do move here, I will definitely get more land, plus more than two acres.

In that case, our family will be divided into more than ten acres, and we don’t have any serious workers. I wonder who will cultivate so much land in the future?"

"It's okay, I'm here." Liu Haitao answered first: "Don't worry about this. It is said that when teams are divided into areas, they can form groups freely. When the time comes, the areas of our two families can be divided next to each other. I will help you together.

It’s also very convenient and labor-saving to farm.”

Liu Qiaoxian smiled and said: "Haha... That's good, I'll just say it. With my naughty son here, my aunt will have hope while she's alive..."

Liu Qiaoxian's nose became sore as she was talking and laughing, and suddenly tears started to flow from her eyes, and she choked up.

When Liu Haitao saw his aunt suddenly started crying, he knew why her aunt was crying. He was moved by what he just said, and he quickly persuaded: "Aunt, you don't have to worry, what's the point? My brother is sick, but I have plenty of strength.

, I will also help with not only the fields, but also the work at home. In the future, if there is any work that my uncle can direct, I will do it."

Liu Qiaoxian wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes and said: "In the future, we will inevitably have troubles and naughty help in all kinds of work at home."

Liu Laocun also said: "What the hell are you crying for? Naughty boy is not an outsider. What is the difference between him and Da Jun? In other words, he is almost the same as our son. They are both our own children. It is no trouble or no trouble. Why are you talking about this?

?”

"Auntie, my uncle is right. You and your uncle have taken care of me since I was a child. Without you, how could I have survived to this day? I am a naughty child who has never forgotten that I have to be conscientious in everything. Do you think so?

Auntie?"

"I'm just saying, he is still naughty but sensible. I didn't love him in vain."

Liu Qiaoxian said this to Taohua, and Taohua naturally understood what her mother-in-law meant. Indeed, if the land is divided into households after autumn, how could the old, weak, sick and disabled family cultivate this land without the help of Liu Haitao?

What about ten acres of land?

Taohua raised her head and glanced at Liu Haitao, but saw him staring at her. She suddenly felt uncomfortable and her face was burning. She quickly used words to resolve the embarrassment. She said to her mother-in-law: "Yes.

, I will have to rely on you to help me with the family affairs in the future. Who says the army is useless? It can't do anything."

There was a thorn in Taohua's words that no one could understand, including her mother-in-law. She stopped talking, got up and poured a large basin of dirty water into the yard. She reached for a bucket to scoop water from the water tank, but she only lifted the bucket.

When a small bucket of water came out, she still didn't say a word and picked up the pole to go to the well to fetch water.

She performed this series of actions in silence, and she seemed to be holding an unknown anger in her heart. She didn't know who she was angry with. She didn't know what she was angry about. She didn't even know she knew about this problem.

Don’t know? She didn’t say anything anyway, and she walked toward the gate with two empty buckets "squeaking".

Liu Qiaoxian watched Taohua walk out of the gate with a bucket. She suddenly came back to her senses and shouted to Liu Haitao: "Naughty boy, why are you stupid? Go and change Taohua back. How can you call her?"

Going to fetch water? Go quickly, go quickly."

When Liu Haitao heard Aunt Liu's urging, he stood up and chased out of the gate. He ran a few steps to catch up with Taohua. Without saying a word, he grabbed the pole and the bucket. He asked angrily: "What are you doing? Are you here?"

Who are you angry with? Huh, go back, I'll take care of it."

As Liu Haitao spoke, he picked up a bucket and strode towards the well without looking back. Taohua glanced at Liu Haitao's back, turned around and returned home, only to see her father-in-law walking slowly towards the door with a cane supported by her mother-in-law.

, she stepped forward to help her when she saw him busy, and said worriedly: "Dad, please be careful and walk slower." She then asked her mother-in-law: "Can mom support me alone? How about I do it?"

Can I help you hold Dad around?"

Liu Laocun said: "No, you can go about your business and just ask your mother to help me."

Liu Qiaoxian smiled at her and said, "It's okay. I can do it alone. Take a walk slowly. You can go do the laundry. There is also a quilt, which is enough to keep you busy for a long time."

Taohua watched her mother-in-law limping out of the door with her father-in-law supported by her hands. Her old back made people feel a little sad. She turned back to dry the clean clothes on the rope. Liu Haitao also came back with water at this time.

He asked: "Where can I pour this water?"

Taohua pointed to the big basin and said: "Pour one basin and pour the rest into the vat."

After Liu Haitao poured the water, he put the pole on the bucket, sat down at the table and drank the water quietly, but his eyes kept wandering around Taohua, and Taohua had already seen his dishonest eyes out of the corner of her eye.

Looking at herself, she felt very unnatural for a moment, and without looking up at him she said: "This little water is not enough, I have to bear two more loads."

Liu Haitao smiled and said, "I know, I'll make sure you finish washing your clothes, and then fill the water tank, so that you can eat for two or three days."

"Then why don't you choose?"

"Hehe, let me drink some water and take a rest. Can't you let me watch you for a while?"

"Go! It's not serious. What can I see?" Taohua's face turned red, and she glared at him as if she was a little angry and asked, "Are you going? You can watch from here, can I go in the house?"
