The Heart of Transmigration

Did you ask why Mu Qing came here? "

Yuntai was puzzled: "Why do you ask? If you can tell me, you will definitely tell me. If you can't, don't I just make things difficult for you by asking?"

Meng An felt that his heart had been stabbed again. Every time Yuntai said such unknowing love words, he suddenly threw himself into Yuntai's arms and rubbed them, and couldn't help but kiss his chin again.Although Yuntai didn't know why Meng An suddenly became agitated, how could he let go of the meat that was brought to his mouth? He immediately lowered his head and kissed Meng An's lips, and he didn't let go until he kissed Meng An until his legs were limp and almost suffocated. He whispered in his ear: "It seems that you can tell me about today's affairs."

Meng An gasped for breath and calmed down. He was obviously on the same starting line at the beginning. Why is there such a big difference in kissing skills between him and Yuntai now?But thinking about Mu Qing, he temporarily put his depression aside, raised his head, his eyes sparkled: "Meng Su confessed to Mu Qing! They are finally getting married!"

Chapter 31

"Success? Did Mu Qing come to announce the good news to you?" But Yuntai felt that Mu Qing's performance didn't seem very happy.

Meng An shook his head: "That's not true, but it will happen sooner or later, I think it will only be two days. I told Mu Qing to go to Meng Su to confess, and he listened."

"That's indeed a good thing." He had suspected that Meng Su liked Mu Qing before, but his judgment was right.

"Success, let them toss around, let's feed the chickens." Meng An pulled Yuntai up the mountain.Although the chickens are free-range, they will still put some food in the chicken coop as a spare. Now the chickens have formed the habit, and they will come back obediently at night.Watching them slowly shed their down feathers and replace them with adult feathers of different colors, Meng An felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.The fly in the ointment is that a young hen died. In fact, it grew slower than others from the very beginning, and was a bit smaller. Later, when it fell ill, Meng An and Yuntai isolated it and raised it alone. Unfortunately, it still did not survive. can keep.

Two days later, Mu Qing really came to "report the good news" shyly and timidly, and this time Yuntai was also there.

"You mean, Meng Su's family disagrees?" Meng An frowned.

"Well. They said that Meng Su needs a better husband to help him manage the business." Mu Qing remained calm as usual, and didn't seem to care.

Meng An's mind was moved, and he asked secretly: "They won't give you back the money to let you leave Meng Su?"

Mu Qing curled her lips: "It really made you guess, his father said he would give me 200 taels."

"Then what did Meng Su say?" Yun Tai asked.

"Him?" Mu Qing grinned stupidly, "He said don't worry about the petty profits in front of you, you can get untold 200 taels if you marry him."

"Tsk tsk tsk, look how beautiful you are." Meng An teased, then thought of something, and said seriously, "Then did he say what to do? We can't keep procrastinating."

"One year. We set a one-year deadline. He said that he had to develop the store under his name to have the capital to negotiate terms with his family. I will also help." Mu Qing also became serious.

"Meng Su is a smart man." Yun Tai agreed with Meng Su's approach. Being too aggressive now is not beneficial to the progress of the matter. It is better to recharge your energy and wait for the opportunity.

"You should also be careful. If Meng Su dares to change his mind this year, you can't rely on him without backbone." Meng An felt that the feelings of suffering setbacks are indeed more cherished, but before the sea and the sky, it will be more cherished. unstable.

"Of course, who do you think I am?" Mu Qing knew what Meng An was worried about, "Besides, Meng Su handed over the tailor shop to me. If he dares to do anything, I will take the tailor shop with him and continue to talk to Dad. Depend on each other."

"..." It seems that Mu Qing still has a lot of thoughts, I only hope that he can think so easily when the time comes.Bah, bah, bah, Meng An slapped himself in his heart, how could this happen!

In fact, it didn't rest for a few days. As soon as the grains of mangos arrived, each household in the village began to harvest wheat one after another.Meng An had never been in contact with this kind of activity before. He only knew that flour was ground from wheat. As for how did the wheat come from?That's the farmer uncle's business.Members of modern society have a clear division of labor. People no longer need to be familiar with various survival skills as they did a long time ago. They just need to do a good job of a screw on the production line of the big environment. Meng An doesn't know whether this is good or bad.

Gathering the wheat with their left hand and holding the sickle with their right, Meng An and Yuntai faced the loess and their backs to the sky, facing the sun to scramble to harvest. If the harvest failed to catch up with the rain, the wheat would be ruined. This year is not bad, and there is no sign of rain.There is a wheat drying field in the village, but because Yuntai didn't want to go to that kind of place where people come and go and be surrounded by people, he used a wheel to crush a small one near the house.The two cut the wheat in the morning, went back to eat at noon, and transported the harvested wheat home, and continued to go to the field in the afternoon.

Meng An felt that he and Yuntai were relatively late in the village when they harvested wheat, but when the two acres of land in his family had been harvested and dried in the wheat field for a few days, they could be crushed and shelled. The ground hadn't moved yet, so he wasn't in a hurry, anyway, father and Shen Zhan couldn't let the wheat rot in the ground, he just had to wait, but most likely Shen Zhan would fix something.

"An...Meng An." Yuntai actually wanted to call him "An An", but thinking that Meng An was too embarrassed to call him that, he changed it back, "Look at that chicken, why is it shedding so much hair?"

"Eh? Indeed, could it be a fight?" Meng An looked in the direction Yuntai pointed, and he saw a rooster with messy feathers and blood on the small comb.

"Hmm..." Yuntai was puzzled, if it was a fight, there must be two of them, right?I haven't seen anything different from other chickens.But after all, I didn't think much about it.

In the afternoon, Yuntai went around the fence as usual to see if there was any damage so that he could repair it in time. He thought he would go shopping and go back as before. Unexpectedly, he found a hole in the middle of the mountain, let alone a chicken. Even a dirt dog might be able to get out.He squatted down and took a closer look. The damaged fence didn't look like it was bitten open by an animal, but more like someone deliberately ripped it open.Yuntai subconsciously searched for footprints like he used to track his prey when he was hunting with Father Lin, but he found nothing valuable.He found some stones and branches to fill the hole, and went down the mountain to find Meng An.

Meng An was also looking for Yuntai. Seeing that almost all the chickens had returned, he ordered some, but there was one missing after counting. It was not that he didn't think that he might still be on the mountain, but seeing that the sky was getting dark, He came back early in the usual time, but he searched around the fence but couldn't find it, and when he went back and counted again, it was still low.

As soon as the two exchanged information, they knew that [-]% of them had escaped from that hole.It was a pity for Meng An for a long time. The chickens are half grown now, and the hens are about to lay eggs. It is a pity to lose them.

At noon the next day, Yuntai planned to go around the mountain again before having lunch. When he was approaching the previous hole, he saw someone squatting there from a distance, and it was definitely not Meng An.Yuntai didn't go any further, but just watched from a distance. The man was very short, and he searched the ground for a long time, as if he picked up a few stones, and then struggled to throw them on the fence.Yun Tai fiercely thought of the injured rooster before, could it have been beaten by someone?Catch one and beat it?Just as he was thinking, the man squatted down again, moved away the stone and branch that Yuntai patched up yesterday, and guarded the entrance of the cave.Yuntai guessed again that he was waiting for the chicken to come out and catch it.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a curious chicken who wanted to poke his head at the entrance of the cave, but was afraid of the person at the entrance of the cave. He hesitated for a long time and saw that the person did not move, so a chicken went out, saying that it was too late and then quickly, and the person guarding the entrance of the cave Immediately pounced on and hugged the chicken, picked it up and was ready to go.

Yun Tai followed quickly, and only when he got closer did he realize that it was Meng An's younger brother——Meng Ze.He paused, then quickened his pace.Meng Ze was only ten years old a year later, so he couldn't outrun the tall and long-legged Yuntai, so he was "stolen and captured" soon.

"You made that hole?" Yun Tai grabbed Meng Ze who was trying to escape.

"No! No!" Meng Ze retorted loudly and struggled hard, but he was still holding the chicken in his hand, obviously not convincing.

Yun Tai directly resisted him down the mountain, and told Meng An what had happened, and Mu Qing happened to come too.Meng An felt a little unbelievable, and couldn't help asking Meng Ze: "Did you pick that hole?"

When Meng Ze saw Meng An, his attitude was a little different, and he became more aggressive. He shouted: "It's all your fault! Dad and Dad always quarrel. It's all your fault! You still want to rob our house !I'm going to take your chickens! I'm going to let them all go!"

"..." Meng An thought he had nothing to argue with this brat, and continued to ask himself, "Then you also took a chicken yesterday?"

"Hmph, Dad ate yesterday's me."

"Your father knows that you stole our chicken?"

"Of course I know." Meng Ze felt happy seeing Meng An's wrinkled face.

"I don't even want to eat it. You stole it from me, and you ate it to me. Good, good." Meng An calmed down after being overwhelmed. He turned to Yuntai and said, "Take him and find Lizheng. I will let him The whole village knows that he and Shen Zhan are chicken thieves."

"You dare! You can't!" Meng Ze cried.

Yuntai ignored Meng Ze and followed him as usual, but he didn't listen to Meng An either. He hesitated and said, "He's still a child. Is it not good to let everyone in the village know?" Although there is no such thing as rich, I have never heard of anyone stealing things. Once it is revealed, it will cause a big fuss.

Mu Qing also continued: "Yes, isn't he only ten years old? Let's find Shen Zhan. I'll call him for you."

Mu Qing quickly found Shen Zhan, and described Meng Ze's behavior with embellishments. Shen Zhan rushed over in a hurry, and even brought Meng Dad along. This was the first time for the two elders to come Meng Anjia.As soon as Shen Zhan entered the door, he said, "Meng An, let me tell you, Meng Ze is your younger brother, you can't say it!"

"Then the chicken was eaten for nothing? The hole was also eaten for nothing?" Meng An asked in a deep voice.

"There are so many of you, what's wrong with giving one to your brother and father?" Shen Zhan retorted with his neck crossed.

"What's the matter? I raised it! You let Meng Ze steal things at such a young age, why are you at ease?"

"It can't be said to be stolen!" Shen Zhan screamed like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, "Can't we just treat it as a gift from you?"

"What you said, I have never seen you so shameless." Mu Qing felt that Shen Zhan's face was too thick, and he could say such things with confidence.

"What are you talking about about our family?" Shen Zhan knew that he didn't care, so he could only rely on his aura to bluff people.

"That is to say, you don't care about Meng Ze stealing things." Meng An said lightly.

"It's not that I don't care, he's still young..."

"Then dad thinks so too?" Meng An turned to ask the silent dad beside him.

"This...Meng Ze is really young, can you let him go first? Didn't he just take your chicken? Can dad give you one?" Meng Defeng also knew that Meng Ze and Shen Zhan were really He had done too much, but when he thought of poking Meng Ze out, he couldn't hold his head up, and he would definitely be poked in the back, so he wanted to make a big deal into a small one.

"He still wants to continue catching chickens today. If Yuntai doesn't find out, he's probably going to steal it for a long time, right? Go honor daddy." Meng An felt cold in his heart. I didn't see father Meng come forward either.He didn't really want to ruin Meng Ze, if he had a little bit of repentance, even if Shen Zhan had it, he wouldn't be so sad.If you don't do something this time, Meng Ze will definitely make progress.

"It's okay if you don't go to Lizheng, you must give me an explanation." Meng An was already desperate to discuss Meng Ze's education with them, so he directly negotiated terms.

☆, get it done

"Explain? What do you want to explain? You can give pork chops to Li Zheng's family, but you can't give your brother a chicken? You can send rabbits and meat to Yun's family, but can't you let me eat meat?" Shen Zhan said. I really feel that Meng Ze has done nothing. Who told me that it was Meng An's chicken, and the consciousness of oppressing Meng An has been deeply ingrained, even though the current Meng An has made him hit the south wall several times.

"If you say it openly, we may not give it to you, but one yard is worth one yard. Meng Ze not only steals chickens, but also throws stones at the fence. You always say that Meng Ze is young, and he can get married in a few years. How big is it? If you don’t care about him now, it will delay his life more than making the matter public.” Yuntai hadn’t heard much from Meng An before how his family treated him badly, but today, from Meng’s father and Shen Zhan’s favoritism towards Meng Ze It can be seen.Shen Zhan has been emphasizing that stealing chickens is reasonable, but Father Meng didn't even refute.

"That's right, if you don't let others know, then you have to teach him a lesson, right?" Seeing that Shen Zhan wanted to talk about him again, Mu Qing spoke first, "Don't talk, I think you are used to it, let your son talk to you Same cheeky."

Shen Zhan blushed with anger, stood up and was about to push back, but was stopped by Meng Defeng, who scolded: "Shut up first!" Then he turned to Meng An and asked, "Could you tell me a way, what should I do? As long as you don't Speak out."

"What are you looking at me for? I'm not like some people who say one thing and another thing behind their backs. As long as you don't lose Meng An, I will definitely not say it." Mu Qing raised his eyebrows when he saw Father Meng looking at him.

"Tell him not to play chicken again, and don't mess with me again." Although Meng An was talking about Meng Ze, he kept staring at Shen Zhan, "If similar things happen again, I don't guarantee that I will still be so good-tempered. Still With those two acres of wheat land, father and father will regret it? There is still no movement. I am not disregarding feelings, it is father who promised to give me the land before. If you are too busy to harvest wheat, I will He Yuntai can help, just give me half of the wheat." Meng An grinned brightly.

"Yes." Father Meng stopped Shen Zhan again, "We will reap one acre, and you will reap another acre. After harvesting, you will replant the land yourself."

"Okay, thank you dad."

Shen Zhan was always suppressed by Father Meng and couldn't speak, and started to explode when he went out: "Why give them an acre of wheat? I don't even want to give him the land!"

Meng Defeng rubbed his forehead and said, "Have you heard that you won't give it to someone? How embarrassing! It's not because of your good son's good deeds, and you said that the chicken was given by your natal family. You are really not ashamed at all. Now Meng Defeng Ann agrees not to tell it, so why do you care about it? Giving him the wheat will earn us a good reputation among outsiders. The wheat was originally planted according to the five people, so just give it."

"Isn't it stipulated that the allotment of land must be given? Besides, I don't believe it. If you don't give Meng An Maizi, he dares to tell the truth?"

"Don't worry about it, don't think I don't know what Meng An's life was like before. Giving him the land this time is considered a deal." Meng Defeng strode away after finishing speaking.

Seeing this, Shen Zhan turned around in place, and finally chose to follow.

"An Zi, is this the end?" Mu Qing felt that he couldn't do anything to Meng Ze, so he had to hit the lord hard.

"Meng Anti's conditions are almost within the scope of Shen Zhan's acceptance, and it would be too much to say too much. And now it's like Meng An is holding on to Meng Ze, and it is estimated that there will be fewer contacts between the two in the future." Yuntai explained.

"You really understand me." Meng An put his arm on Yuntai's shoulder, nodded and said, "Exchanging a chicken for an acre of wheat, we secured two acres of land, and in exchange for a future life, it's not bad. "

"Don't say it, it's really such a reason, tsk tsk, okay, you two, there is a tacit understanding."

"Isn't your heart in the town?" Meng An felt that he had finally found the exact target to tease Mu Qing.

"That's right, I won't tell you." Mu Qing immediately got up when he heard that, "I'm going home for dinner, it's more than half an hour late."

"Come and eat with us."

"No, Dad is still waiting." Mu Qing insisted on going back.

After seeing off Mu Qing, Meng An and Yun Tai also started having a belated lunch.

Now that Meng Defeng had agreed, Shen Zhan had no choice but to start harvesting the wheat no matter how reluctant he was. Fortunately, the two acres of land were not adjacent to each other, otherwise he would feel distressed to death watching Meng An take away the wheat.Meng An didn't care how much Shen Zhan was in pain, he gave away an acre of wheat to his brother who was married, Shen Zhan earned a good reputation for being generous, and he just kept busy with Yuntai happily.

Time passed day by day, seeing a large group of chickens grow bigger and bigger, and the hens began to lay eggs.Meng An was naturally happy, and it was another income, so he went to the mountains every day to find eggs in the wrong place.But slowly he found that something was wrong. There seemed to be fewer eggs, and broken eggshells could often be seen.

"Tell me, is there any animal on the mountain stealing eggs to eat?" He couldn't help asking Yuntai.

"Impossible?" Yuntai went to the wheat drying field to look through the wheat, and came in just after washing his face, the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

"There were no eggshells before, and there seem to be more and more these days." Meng An took a towel and handed him to wipe his face.

"Could it be a weasel? Is that also eating meat?"

"No, I'll take another look." Meng An decided to stay and observe for a few days.

The next day, Meng An went up the mountain early in the morning. He found a tree near the grass where he had picked up the most eggs and squatted under it, waiting for the chickens to come.The summer breeze came slowly, and the sun was not very strong. Meng An fell asleep unconsciously leaning against the tree.After an unknown amount of time, he woke up with a start, looked around, and found that there were already two eggs in the grass.Meng An patted his face to cheer up, staring at the eggs not far away in a daze.Just when his patience was exhausted, a hen swayed leisurely. At first, Meng An thought it was going to lay eggs, but he didn't see it lying down for a long time. crack, the hen then pecks at the egg white and yolk that flow out.

Chickens eat eggs?Meng An raised chickens for the first time in his previous life, and he didn't hear anything similar from that classmate before, so he felt very strange.He went down the mountain and told Yuntai what he had discovered. Yuntai followed Father Lin and knew the habits of many wild animals in the mountains. He didn't know as much about this chicken as Meng Anduo.It happened to be going to town in the afternoon, Yuntai suggested to ask Meng Su, and Meng An thought it was feasible.

In the afternoon, the two of them waited for the sun to fade before leaving. When they arrived in town, they went to the tailor shop to find Mu Qing.The tailor's shop was moved to a shop on the left, and it was much bigger. In addition, Mu Qing was quick-witted and added a lot of new things, and the number of people who came to buy clothes was significantly higher than before.On the way, Meng An told Yuntai that if he found Mu Qing, he would find Meng Su. Sure enough, Meng Su was really accompanying Mu Qing in the tailor shop.The two of them greeted the guests and collected the bills with a tacit understanding.

"Where is the buddy? Why are you two alone?" Meng An was surprised.

"The previous family stopped working, and they are still recruiting new ones, and they are catching up with the expansion of the store, so they are very busy." Mu Qing put down the account book in his hand and said.

"We want to ask Meng Su about raising chickens." Yun Tai glanced at Meng Su, "But he doesn't seem to be able to leave."

"Wait a minute, I'll go inside and find someone to help." Mu Qing went to the back room to find a clothes maker to replace Meng Su, then poured a glass of water for both of them and the parched Meng Su, and continued to settle accounts went.

Meng Su was really thirsty, he picked up the water and drank it all, and said to the two of them: "I heard from Mu Qing that Meng An helped come up with a lot of good ideas, thank you so much. Thinking of you, although there are fewer hot pots, we have launched the dishes you discussed with him one after another, and the business is very good."

"Boss Meng is still so polite. You are going to become a family member with Mu Qing. I have a strong relationship with Mu Qing. If you help him, you are helping him."

"Haha, that's true." Meng Su smiled cheerfully, "Mu Qing is lucky to have friends like you."

"Won't Boss Meng have one in the future?" Yun Tai said.

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable. What's the matter with you this time? But there's something wrong with raising chickens?" Meng Su poured himself another glass of water.

"Indeed. Meng An found out that the hen was eating eggs. I don't know why?"

"Eat eggs?" Meng Su thought for a moment, then asked, "Have you got a basin for them to drink water?"

"Water?" Meng An shook his head, "No, isn't there enough water in their usual food?"

"You are free-range, so there is no situation where the chickens do not have enough sand to eat, so it is very likely that they are thirsty."

"Thirsty to eat eggs?" Yes, egg whites do contain a lot of water.

"I seem to have heard people say that the most likely reason is the lack of water, and the weather is hot now. You can go back and get them a drinking basin and see if there are any eggs."

"Okay, let's try it when we get back." Yuntai said.

The two left after sitting for a while, bought some necessities of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and set foot on the way home.

When he got home, Meng An found an unused wooden basin as soon as he put the things away, scooped up water and put it in the chicken coop. After a while, the nearby chickens came back to drink.It seems to be reliable, Meng An thought.In the next few days, Meng An would clean up the eggshells as soon as he saw them. Obviously, they found that there were fewer and fewer eggshells, and finally they could not be found at all.

The egg turmoil is over for a while, and Meng An and Yuntai are busy again. Now they have a total of five acres of dry land, one of which has been planted with peanuts, and the remaining two plan to plant another acre of wheat stubble peanuts, two acres of corn, and one acre of sweet potatoes , Squeeze a few points to plant soybeans.

The sun was scorching hot, and Meng An felt that he was about to suffer from heat stroke. In order to take care of him, Yuntai tried his best to go to the ground when the sun was not so poisonous. In fact, it's just that the soul has never experienced it, and the body can still bear it, so Yuntai can't let Yuntai keep accommodating himself.Meng An's psychological hint must cheer up, it seems to have some effect, and it feels a lot easier.

"Meng An, you can rest at home today, I can go by myself." Yun Tai said before going out, seeing Meng An so tired every day, he was not happy.

"What? Do you dislike my slow work?" Meng An purposely put on a bitter face. How could he stay at home and let Yuntai go to the field alone?

"Of course not. You've been too tired these days. Besides, I can plant sweet potatoes today by myself."

"Don't lie, it's not that I don't know. Planting sweet potatoes requires a ridge higher than planting peanuts, planting seedlings one by one, and watering them all. It's so troublesome, you plant it yourself?" Meng An recalled Standing beside him with the tools in the basket, he grabbed his arm and said, "I know you care about me, how can I be so weak, if I let you go out to work at home, would you be willing?"

"You can't say that..."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Meng An interrupted what Yuntai was going to say, and rushed out first.

Yuntai shook his head helplessly from behind, but in his heart, it was like the weather today, with a clear sky.

☆, paddy field

Meng An's modern life is full of stress and anxiety. He thinks about finding a job to make money every day. He has no relatives, which means he has no way out, and he can only rely on himself.The spirit is always tense, and the body doesn't want to move anymore. The memory of running and sweating is still stuck in junior high school, high school is busy with exams, and college is lazy. Meng An himself feels that his whole body is loose. I can make up my mind to go to the track and field to run and exercise.

After time-traveling, there is slack in farming. Now, the consciousness that has been lazy for nearly ten years is finally about to start working hard.After getting used to it for a period of time, coupled with the strength of the original body, he even liked the feeling of sweating a little bit. It is estimated that the villagers would definitely think him a lunatic if they knew that he thought so. They farmed the land for their livelihood. Doing farm work is monotonous and hard work, and they have to fight against God. If possible, they naturally hope to live a good life without working hard.Meng An has already experienced the modern times when productivity has developed to a certain extent, and he has had enough of depressive mental work, so he now feels that physical work is not bad.When there is no more resistance psychologically, even physically I feel less tired.

Today's weather is still good, the two of them went out early, the sun is not yet strong, and the cool breeze has the upper hand for the time being.The two of them had turned over the sweet potato field before, so they can just plant it today.

"Yuntai, can we finish planting sweet potatoes today?" Meng An asked in a good mood, carrying a basket on his back and a head on his shoulder.

"Almost. But we don't have much land, so we can plant half of it today."

"Let's finish planting quickly. I see that many others have already finished planting."

"Well, good." Yuntai was noncommittal, and it's okay to be a day or two late.

The sweet potato seedlings were bred in advance, and now they are about [-] centimeters long. The two carried them on their backs.The ridge must be raised first, and Meng An took the thin rope for measuring the land to make preparations.This kind of string is hemp, a little thicker than iron wire, and is wrapped around a small wooden stick, forming a shuttle shape as a whole.A thinner wooden stick is tied to the end of the rope. When using it, insert it at one end of the ground. Put the rope and insert the other end at the other end of the corresponding straight line. When raising a ridge, follow the rope to ensure that the ridge will not Twisted and twisted.

Meng An put the rope down to about ankle height, Yuntai began to use a shovel to shovel the soil along the rope, and Meng An started work from the other end, preparing for the joint.After the ridges were erected, the two of them planted seedlings with baskets containing sweet potato seedlings.Because it is a newly piled ridge and the soil is still loose, when planting, dig a small hole with your hands, put the sweet potato seedlings in and bury them, and pay attention to making all the seedlings fall in one direction.After they each finished planting a ridge, Yuntai fetched water with a bucket, and then watered the planted sweet potatoes.With this time difference, Meng An basically planted in the front and Yuntai watered in the back.Time passed quickly, the sun was rushing from east to south non-stop, the hot air squeezed out the coolness cleanly, and both of them were sweating.

"Let's go back. The sun is hot now, and watering is not good for the seedlings. Come back in the afternoon." Yuntai poured a bowl of water from the pitcher he brought and drank it down, poured another bowl and handed it to him. Meng An.

Meng An wiped the sweat off his face, drank the water, and said, "Well, let's pack up and go back."

Yuntai started to pack up the agricultural tools scattered in the field, Meng An put the bowl on the water tank again, got up to collect the ground rope.After everything was settled, the two went home.After returning home, Meng An and Yun Tai sat under the tree to cool off for a while, rested their feet, then Meng An went to make lunch, and Yun Tai went to add water to the chicken.The cakes for lunch are made from flour ground from new wheat. They are chewy and delicious, and they must be even better if they are just out of the pan.Because it is a busy time, everyone will make many cakes at a time without breaking the premise, saving cooking time.

"This year's wheat harvest is pretty good, and these cakes are delicious." Meng An put the cakes on the table, and arranged the dishes.Because they have to feed the chickens, their cornmeal is gone, and the current cakes are made of pure flour.

"Yes." Yuntai nodded, "The growth is much better than in previous years. Even if the tax is paid, it must be enough to eat."

"Speaking of taxes, why didn't you see that Li Zheng was collecting them? Didn't they all pay after the wheat was harvested? I bit the sun-dried wheat, and there wasn't much water. It should be able to be packed."

"The weather is good, let's have another day in the sun. I guess it's because Lizheng's body hasn't recovered yet. After all, he's getting older and he's getting better slowly."

"Well, now Lizheng can rest for a few days. When the deadline for food delivery is up, he will have to be busy." It is not easy to be an organizer of a village, not to mention that Lizheng has been in charge for more than ten years.

"It's really not easy. Why don't everyone respect Li Zheng so much?"

After eating and eating for a while, Meng An took Yuntai to take a nap.After the hottest part of the sun passed, the two continued to plant sweet potatoes.In the morning, about one-third of the planting was due to the ridges. In the afternoon, the two still had a clear division of labor and cooperated tacitly, and they finished planting before dark.Then after a few days of rest, it will be Xiaoshu, and it is time to prepare for planting rice seedlings.

After planting the sweet potatoes, the two packed up the wheat that was drying in the field, set aside the part that needed to be handed in, and put the rest into the wheat hoard.Two days later, it rained heavily. Although it was not the first rain in summer, it was the heaviest rain in a long time.The sky was dark, and the trees with lush leaves were bent over by the wind, and the leaves on the trees were like messy hair.From time to time, thunder rumbled from the original place, and the heavy rain was pouring, and soon a row of rain curtains was hung on the eaves.

Meng An stood in front of the window, stretching out his hands to catch the rainwater. The room was a little dark, and Yuntai was sitting at the table, he shook his hands and said, "Yuntai, it's raining so hard, it will be much easier to plant rice like this." .”

"Yeah, it's a good thing we put away the wheat, otherwise the rain came so fast today that we wouldn't be able to handle it." Yuntai also came over, looking at the heavy rain outside, the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, stirring up Cloudy blisters.

"With such a strong wind, fortunately there are no tall crops. I hope that after the corn and rice grow up, there will be no such strong wind."

"According to the past, it is generally not." What's more, this year, God is good to the farmers, and the weather is good.

Most of the summer rains always come and go in a hurry, and the last one or two hours passed after a crackling, but today the rain fell intermittently until the evening, and the two of them had dinner when the rain was not heavy I did it in a hurry.Meng An thought it was a good rain, but it brought a small flood.

The next afternoon, when the sky cleared completely, someone knocked on the door.Meng An went to open the door and saw Lin Kai standing outside.Meng Lin Zhuang has the most surnames Meng and Lin. Li is where the prestige of the Meng surname and even a village lies. This Lin Kai is equivalent to the leader of the Lin surname. He is one to five or six years younger than Li Zheng, with two There are two children, one is that the elder brother is already married, and the other is also married and has a child.

"Abo Lin? Why are you free? Come in and sit down." Meng An was puzzled, but he didn't dare to neglect, "Yuntai, come quickly, Abo Lin is here!"

"Don't bother, don't bother." Lin Kai waved his hand, smiling, and his face was full of wrinkles to gather urgently. Seeing that Yuntai had also come out, he said again, "I don't even need to go in when you both come out. I just came Let me tell you, the time for grain delivery has been postponed until after the seedlings are planted."

"Why?" Meng An asked.

"Alas." Lin Kai sighed, "Isn't it raining heavily? The place connecting the five lakes and the canal in the town has been washed away, and the boat cannot go."

"Are there any casualties?" Yun Tai asked quickly, and Meng An also became nervous.

"That's not the case, and it's lucky. It's just that our food is shipped directly by water, so the superior said that we will wait for the water channel to be cleaned before handing over."

"I see." Meng An and Yuntai nodded.

"That's fine, I have to inform other people. I'll go first." Lin Kai left with a smile again.

"Abo Lin, are you not coming to sit at home?" Meng An invited again out of politeness.

"No, no, no, you guys go back quickly, go back." Lin Kai walked very fast, and soon disappeared.

"Shouldn't Lizheng come to inform you about this kind of thing?" Meng An asked doubtfully after closing the door.

Yuntai didn't take it seriously: "Isn't Lizheng physically inconvenient? It's normal."

"Then you have to find someone who is familiar with Li Zheng?" Lin Kai and Li Zheng are not close, even a little subtle, because some people say that Lin Kai really wants to be Li Zheng, but Meng Qingfeng has a higher reputation, so he just can give up.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence? Don't think too much about it." Yun Tai rubbed Meng An's head and went into the room.

"It still doesn't feel right, Lin Kai, there are two surnames..." Meng An murmured, and he always felt that Lin Kai's smile was uncomfortable.

A heavy rain has filled the ditch and the river, so it is much more convenient to divert water from the paddy field. Yuntai's newly opened two-acre paddy field has already been filled with water and is ready to welcome the seedlings.At the beginning, Meng An and Yuntai pulled out rice seedlings in the vegetable field together. The rice seedlings had grown to the calf, and after pulling out a bundle, they tied it with straw.After filling about a sack, Yuntai took the rice seedlings and went to the rice fields to transplant them.After pulling it all morning, Yuntai came to fill another sack halfway through.Because he was afraid that the rice seedlings would be pulled out, he stuck to the ground when he pulled it out. He stood up and moved his numb legs, shook off the mud on his hands, and prepared to go home and cook.

Meng An cooked the meal, set aside Yuntai's portion, and went to the paddy field to change shifts after eating.The weather is a bit gloomy today, and it's rare that the sun is not poisonous, so naturally we have to take the opportunity to do more work.

And now Yuntai is thinking about how to get rid of the person in front of him in the paddy field. Why doesn't he know that the paddy field he opened is so close to Meng Wen's home?

"Brother Yuntai, look, why are you the only one planting rice seedlings? Why doesn't Meng An know how to help you?" Meng Wen said during this time
