After a simple rebirth

Fu Ying didn’t know whether Li Xingying slept until she woke up naturally, but she did sleep until she woke up naturally.

But she didn't get up too late than usual. Her biological clock had already been formed and Fu Ying woke up at eight o'clock. She didn't plan to stay in bed, so she got up directly to wash up.

When Fu Ying was doing homework in the room, Fu's mother hadn't woken up yet, until Fu's second aunt came over again.

She came over to ask her family to help her harvest corn.

Fu Ying didn't expect that it had only been a short time since the potatoes were harvested, so why did they have to wait until the corn harvest? She was not sure if they harvested it at this time every year, but she was sure that she didn't want to go.

Harvesting potatoes is hard work, and harvesting corn is a sinful job.

Those corns were basically about 1.7 to 1.9 meters tall. You had to break the whole corn off and throw it into the basket on your back. The heavier it got, the more painful it would be on your shoulders.

Besides being heavy, the branches and leaves of corn can scratch your hands and face. Don't underestimate the branches and leaves of corn. If you scratch your fingertips carefully, they can cut you and even make you bleed. When walking in a corn forest, you will get scratched on your face and neck. Even if there is no bleeding, it will still be itchy and painful.

What was even scarier was that there were caterpillars, green and the size of a little finger. They were not poisonous, but Fu Ying was afraid of them. When she walked through the cornfield, some of them would fall onto her body, and Fu Ying would go crazy.

Second Aunt Fu didn't say it directly, but she meant that all three members of her family should go, and Fu Ying's feet were almost black.

Here it comes again, it's like this every time, they don't let their own family go, giving one is a favor, giving two is help, it's too much to ask for all of them to go.

Fu Ying refused directly, "Second Aunt, my high school studies are more important now, and I have a lot of homework. I can't go."

"How can there be too much homework? I see Li Xingying and Li Xingyun next door are in their second year of high school. They also go to the fields to help. Every time they harvest potatoes and corn, they help carry them home."

Fu Ying was speechless. It was someone else's own land, how could she not help? If it was Fu Ying's own land, she would help no matter how busy she was with her studies. But now it was Fu Ergu's family who wanted to help. It wasn't their own land and harvest, so why should they give it to them for free?

"They are also helping their own family, and I have never done this before. Fu Zhe and I don't understand it at all. If we go, we will only make things worse."

"It's not that difficult to break corn. You can learn it right away. Even my third and fourth children want to help grandma break corn and carry it back home!"

Fu Ying said she could do it, but Fu Ying wanted to speak again, but her mother spoke up.

"Second sister, where are you going to harvest corn today? Is it a lot?"

"It's at the big cemetery. The two plots of land, yours and mine, are not that many. We can harvest them all in one day."

A large cemetery? Fu Ying was puzzled. Wasn't that piece of land already expropriated? Fu Ying remembered that the land was expropriated for the expansion of Gumang Middle School!

The big cemetery is a general term for that area. The land of Fu Ergu's family and Fu Ying's family are adjacent to each other, and the width and length are the same.

Fu Ying knew that the land was requisitioned in two batches, but she didn't know whether it had not started yet, or the first batch had been requisitioned but the second batch had not started, or the first batch had not started either.

During the Chinese New Year one year, Fu Ying suddenly remembered that the large cemetery had been expropriated, and asked her father how much of the land was left. Her father said that the entire land had been expropriated.

Fu Ying asked how much money she received in compensation, and her father said 12,000 yuan. Compared to the big cities where people rely on demolition to get the land, the compensation for rural land acquisition is so low that no one dares to believe it. But we tried to argue that rural land is not valuable, and it is for school education, not commercial use, so we can't get more.

In this case, Fu Ying wanted to go and have a look. If it really hasn’t started yet, it will be next year. I wonder if it can bring some benefits to the family?

But I can't just follow Second Aunt's wishes. How can I let her call me whenever she wants?

Here, Fu Ma is still talking to Fu Ergu.

"Xiaoying and Xiaozhe don't have much strength, and they are not steady when doing things. I can go. It's not far, and we adults can carry them a few times and come back."

Second Aunt Fu still insisted that Fu Ying and Fu Zhe go together, saying that they didn't need to carry the corn, they could just break the corn and throw it into the basket, and call for help when it was full.

"But Second Aunt, I only have three days off. If I go to help your family today, the whole day will be gone. I won't be able to go tomorrow if I haven't finished picking corn today! I will lose three days of study time just like that. When others can keep up with the teacher's learning progress, I can't. My test scores will not be good, and my ranking will drop temporarily. If I don't do well in the college entrance examination in the future, I will be finished!"

Second Aunt Fu was frightened by Fu Ying's exaggerated statement. She didn't mean to delay Fu Ying's studies. She just saw that Fu Ying was free during the holiday and wanted to ask her for help.

"You and Fu Zhe only need to go today. There are so many people in the cemetery that we can finish picking corn in one day. Your mother and I will go to the market tomorrow and we won't pick corn. Why are you afraid of being tired for a day? It's not like I'll ask you to go to the fields every day."

Fu Ying had a blank expression on her face. "Okay! If you don't let me go, I won't let your grandchildren go either!"

"Second aunt, let Wang Cong and Wang Yu come together. Fu Zhe will take Wang Cong, and I will take Wang Yu. If two of us lift it together, it will be faster."

It was unclear whether Second Aunt Fu didn’t want her eldest grandson to suffer, or didn’t want her eldest granddaughter to be scratched by corn leaves. She paused and wanted to say something, but after looking at Fu Ying’s expression, she nodded.

Seeing that Fu Ying agreed, Fu's mother didn't say anything else. She asked her to call Fu Zhe to get up and go to Fu Ergu's house for breakfast together. Since he was helping her family, he would definitely go to her house for dinner.

After Fu Ying called Fu Zhe to get up, she went to find Fu Ma's long-sleeved shirt and a thin silk scarf to cover her face. She wanted to be fully armed. Between heat and pain, she chose heat.

After ruining Fu Ma's clothes, Fu Ying went to ask Fu Zhe if he wanted a coat. Fu Zhe refused pretentiously, saying that he was not afraid of corn leaves.

Fu Ying snorted coldly and went to ask Fu Ma, who took a shirt but didn't want the scarf. Seeing the hesitation in Fu Ma's eyes, Fu Ying knew that she wanted Fu Ying not to take the scarf, because if it was damaged, she couldn't take it. Fu Ying didn't care, so she had to wrap it tightly.

I took my equipment and went to my second aunt's house. Sure enough, it was the same group of people who helped me last time. We had breakfast together at my second aunt's house before leaving. It was still the traditional pickled cabbage, tendon and bean soup with noodles. Fu Ying was not picky and ate a bowl. It was enough to be full. There would be hard work later!

A group of people set off, Fu Ying carried an empty square backpack, and Wang Yu followed beside her.

It was not known whether the dishes were washed by the second uncle or he asked the third and fourth children who were just in kindergarten to wash them. Fu Ying felt happy when she thought of him washing the dishes while scolding. After washing the dishes, he had to prepare the vegetables immediately and get ready to help a group of people eat at noon.

He deserves to be so exhausted. If Wang Yu didn't go to the fields with him, there would be a lot of things waiting for Wang Yu to do.

The blessing of cooking should be left to the second uncle who favors boys over girls. He has to cook two meals a day! Oh, and he also has to cook pig food to feed the pigs. In the eyes of the second aunt Fu, her pigs must also be fed on time!
