pastoral days

The hard work in the early stage was finally not in vain, and the business of Brother Express has become more and more stable.Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After everything settled down, Zhang Ruihua took his wife and son with his family and planned to live in Moli Mountain Villa with his three brothers-in-law for a few days.It meant that Song Chaoyang continued to live a busy life.

"Brother Song..." Zhang Ruiwen's voice was full of grievances.He had been waiting for Song Zhaoyang to not be tired, so he could tell him about the recent events.If I feel like I have saved up a whole car, I have to tell him.

"Brother Hua, don't worry, Xiaowen is with me..." Song Zhaoyang scratched Zhang Ruiwen's palm.Zhang Ruiwen was consummated in an instant, well, he decided to help, he can still handle some things, so it seems that we spend more time together.

"Brother and sister-in-law will bring me delicious food when they come back. The most important thing is that you have just harvested corn when you come back, haha. This year everyone will be able to eat the corn we planted by ourselves," with a proud face.

"Okay, okay, I get it," Zhang Ruihua said helplessly.Ever since my younger brother became obsessed with farming, the Zhang family has really experienced the taste of farming.Fortunately, the ground is small, the intensity is acceptable, and there is a touch of joy.

During the period when Zhang Ruihua and his wife returned to their natal home, nothing happened.It’s just that everyone misses Zhang Xiaomi too much, especially when eating (Zhang Xiaomi will eat for one bite, all kinds of cute, very cute).Sometimes when I was eating, I just picked up the spoon to tease people, only to remember that Xiaomi was not there.

So when Zhang Ruihua and his wife rushed back from Moli Shangzhuang, Zhang Xiaomi was hugged by Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang back and forth, reluctant to let go. The happiest thing about Zhang Xiaomi was that he ate a lot of delicious food without being cute today.Zhang Ruihua and his wife tried to stop it, but it was useless.Love from generation to generation...

The side is sour Zhang Ruihua: When I was young, I watched my younger brother being favored, and when I grew up, I saw my son being favored. Little bastard, don’t be weird if you can’t find a wife after eating.

The next day, Zhang Ruiwen and his wife also came to see Xiaomi, and of course told them that the corn was about to be harvested.

"Are you ready?" Mrs. Zhang said in surprise, time flies by so quickly.

"It's ok, our growth is the best in the whole village." This is something Zhang Ruiwen has always been proud of.After all, it was the first time he didn't hit the street, and some people in the village asked him why his corn was so big.Although Zhang Ruiwen's corn field is vast and sparsely seeded, it can't support the good growth of others, so everyone in the village has spread the word.For a while, when the Song family was walking in the village, people would ask questions about what they said.They could only vaguely say that Zhang Ruiwen learned it from books.Everyone also praised it fancy.

On the day of harvesting corn, the Zhang family went out to help.In fact, it's not impossible to use servants, but due to the experience of the disaster year, the Zhang family now feels that there are some things they can do more by themselves.So I did the work myself a few times, and I was not tired anyway.every time

With just over an acre of land, 5 members of the Zhang family (including Zhang Xiaomi) and 4 members of the Song family have to work for one day, which is enough to show how leisurely the work is.

Song Chaoyang's family (not including Zhang Ruiwen at this time, of course) slowed down as much as possible every time they worked.After all, if they had been asked to do it earlier, it would have been completed in one morning.So the little land the Song family planted by themselves,Apart from needing Zhang Ruiwen to pick up corn, there is no need for help from the Zhang family.After all, Song Gang's brothers have discussed it, and they just need to help together.

Before departure, the necessary preparations are still necessary.The homemade gloves Song Lai sewed are not beautiful, but they are thick.Can fully experience its beauty in the process of working.Once everything was arranged, the big team set off.At the end of his life, there were 9 people dispatched per mu of land.

The group of people didn't look like they were going to harvest corn at all, but they looked like they were going on an autumn outing.Very happy along the way, Zhang Ruiwen hummed a ditty while imagining the scene of harvesting corn.When I think of the big golden corns everywhere, my heart has already flown to the cornfield.

Sure enough, the full yellow waves cheered everyone up.

"Plant one grain of millet in spring, and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn. Autumn is really a happy season..." Mr. Zhang said with emotion when he came to the field.A kind of joy of harvest arises spontaneously.Looking around, it is golden, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

"Yes, who would have thought that we would sow a handful of seeds in the spring. Master, cornmeal is coming out, and I want to send some to my father, as well as Mrs. Li, Mrs. Guo..." Well, the work has not yet started, and the whereabouts are arranged It's almost there.

Master Zhang agreed, and he also has a wave of people to send.Fortunately, Zhang Ruiwen didn't know, he was planning to keep seeds, haha...

A gust of autumn wind blew by, and there was a rattling sound in the cornfield, which was the power of the grain.A bunch of brown "beards" grew out of the corn cobs, showing off their mature beauty!In this situation, everyone can't wait to keep this picture in their minds forever.happy……

"Work!" Zhang Ruiwen shouted excitedly.Ready to shoot.

"La... la" Recently, Zhang Xiaomi is in the period of rapid language learning. When he hears others speak, he will always say as much as he can.Extra hard work, because he knows it always pays off.Regrettably, since Zhang Xiaomi spoke for the first time in Moli Mountain Villa, he couldn't call Uncle.According to what Mo Xuelian said afterwards, when Xiaomi suddenly called out his father, Zhang Ruihua's eyes were red.Daxi hugged Zhang Xiaomi and kissed her for a long time.Mo Xuelian also resentfully said that it must be during that time, she always hugged Xiaomi and talked about his father, so Xiaomi had a deep impression of this word.If she had known this, she would have taught Xiaomi to call her mother every day.angry.

Zhang Xiaomi's tongue-in-cheek sound successfully made everyone laugh.Zhang Ruiwen pinched his little face lightly, "Little villain, learn how to speak from me"

"Wait, you don't know much yet, let me tell you something." Song Chaoyang hurriedly stopped the Zhang family who were eager to go to the ground.

"Shouldn't we just pull a piece of corn? It'll be fine if we get it off." Mo Xuelian asked in surprise.This still needs to be said.

"Simple is simple, but it would be better to talk about ways to save trouble..." Song Zhaoyang looked at them and said with a smile.Given their brute strength, a couple losing interest in the matter must have worked very hard.

"Pull off the leaves next to the corn first, then grab the head of the corn and snap it off quickly." Song Zhaoyang went to the field to demonstrate one.

"In a while, Brother Hua and I will cut down the corn first. Everyone can sit on the corn and pull it down, and then put the corn in one place," Song Zhaoyang added.That's basically all there is to it, let's talk about it if there are still questions.

Then, everyone went down to the ground.Of course, as the team's oil bottle and group favorite, Zhang Xiaomi sat on the carpet on the ground and Mrs. Zhang played with him.Looking after children is also a big part of Harvest Harvest.

After Song Chaoyang briefly taught Zhang Ruihua how to put corn bundles together and how to use a sickle, the two started working.As for the others, they need to wait for their first step to be completed. At this time, they all went to see Zhang Ruiwen's Chinese cabbage.

When they came back, Song Chaoyang had already cut five bundles, and Zhang Ruihua was only worth one bundle.This is a bit embarrassing.

"Brother Hua, come on, let me try." After Mo Xuelian understood what they needed to do, she felt that it was very simple.Why not just play with a knife (a sickle is also a knife).Eager to try, she obviously prefers chopping corn to pulling corn.

"Ah..." Before Zhang Ruihua could react, the sickle was taken away.Mo Xuelian: I am very good at seizing weapons.

Just now Zhang Ruihua felt that the sickle was going to cut him, and he was careful not to let go of his hands and feet.Now I am particularly worried about Mo Xuelian.Watching from the side, if there is anything I can do to help.

Then, what did he see?Mo Xuelian chopped a bundle at a strange speed.Although it was not as fast as Song Chaoyang, it was more than enough faster than him.It's a bit embarrassing, and it's a bit redundant to stand here by myself.

Mo Xuelian in the slashing: Very cool, haha... It's been a long time since I felt this way, I don't know that my husband is doubting life at the side.

Zhang Ruihua who was completely ignored: forget it, as long as she is happy.With a steady mind, he walked towards his father.

"Why did you come here? Ah...Although you chop very slowly, we can get Chaoyang. Why do you let Xuelian chop corn? This is what a girl should do. You usually love your wife..." Before Zhang Ruihua could open his mouth, Master Zhang yelled at him non-stop.

"Xuelian likes to do that..." Zhang Ruihua ignored his father's scolding and said in a low voice.His daughter-in-law is so tough, he can't help it.But seeing her like this reminds me of when the two first met, they were happy to go out of the rivers and lakes.

"Oh, then hurry up and pull the corn." Master Zhang was relieved after hearing this, he even forgot that his daughter-in-law was once a heroine, no wonder she was better than his own stupid son.

But looking at the hand speed of Song Gang and his wife next to him, Master Zhang hurriedly lowered his head and worked again.Although there is no need to compare, but people's inferiority will unconsciously compare.

Zhao Ruihua looked at his serious father and was also convinced.I'm old and old, it's really not good.Immediately find a bundle and get it up quickly.It can't be that he, as a strong laborer, has the weakest working ability.But please don't be at the bottom.

Zhang Ruiwen was working silently at the side, looking at the corn thrown by everyone, he also unconsciously speeded up (the Zhang family...).After working crazily for a while, I was so tired that I was out of breath, my whole body was weak, and my hands hurt.The speed also slowed down.

"Xiaowen, come and play with Xiaomi, I'll go and do it for a while, watching you guys do it, it's so itchy." Mrs. Zhang saw that her youngest son was a little tired, so she hurriedly asked for a change, but it was true that she wanted to try it.

"Mother, take your time, don't be in a hurry." Zhang Ruiwen knew that his mother meant to let him rest, so he didn't try to be brave.

"Xiaomi, what are you doing?" After changing his job, he felt more relaxed.Zhang Ruiwen started the teasing mode.

"Yeah... next time" Zhang Xiaomi saw Zhang Ruiwen standing ready to yell.Since Zhang Ruiwen often brought him food, Zhang Xiaomi often yelled at him like this these days.

"You little heartless, do you see that, you will farm with uncle in the future. Did you hear that, next time I see you, uncle will pack a bag full of food for you"

It might involve food, Zhang Xiaomi couldn't stop nodding.The eyes are bright.

Suddenly a small green worm came out of the ear of corn, and the meat was grunting. Zhang Ruiwen got interested and reached out to grab it (as for fear or something, it still doesn't exist). "Xiaomi, see if this little bug looks like you. It's meaty. Let me tell you. After you eat it, just crawl away like this." Zhang Ruiwen didn't feel soft-hearted when he bullied his nephew.

"Meat meat...time" Zhang Xiaomi thought it was something delicious, so he quickly crawled over and stretched out his hand to eat it.

"Oh, little ancestor, I'm just kidding. If you eat this thing, don't kiss me in the future." Zhang Ruiwen was taken aback by Zhang Xiaomi's obsession with eating, and quickly threw the little meat worm away .

Zhang Ruiwen played with Xiaomi for a while, and then wanted to go down to help again.

"Dad, take a break. I'll do it." Zhang Ruiwen approached Song Lai with Xiaomi in his arms.Song Lai and his wife slowed down for two-thirds, and the remaining three members of the Zhang family did one-third.

"Come on, Xiaomi. Grandfather Song." Song Lai got up and patted the corn silk and dust on his body. "Xiaowen, call everyone to the ground to drink some water, eat something to rest, there is not much, and it will be over in a while."

Zhang Ruiwen got the order, and immediately jumped around like a happy bird in the harvested corn field.

"Brother Song, dad let me rest for a while" Song Zhaoyang was the last to inform.In this way, I can spend more time with Brother Song, he is so wise, haha.

"Okay, I'll finish this bundle." Song Zhaoyang turned his head and smiled, making Zhang Ruiwen's little heart beat wildly.So hooked.

"Can I try it?" Zhang Ruiwen was quite curious about things like sickles.I really want to try it.

Song Chaoyang looked at Zhang Ruiwen's eager expression, and of course he couldn't refuse, "Come on slowly, and be sure to look carefully, this thing is very dangerous. You hold this end and look at the corn stalks..." He asked very worriedly.

"Hmm..." Zhang Ruiwen nodded heavily, as long as he can play.

Soon, reality hit the face.Zhang Ruiwen was very uncomfortable with corn stalks, and there were flies, moths, and even spiders and caterpillars flying around.Although Zhang Ruiwen is not very scared, but these are not too good.

"Brother Song, my body is itchy..." Zhang Ruiwen felt uncomfortable and itchy without cutting a few.He even wondered if the little bugs got into the clothes.

"What's wrong? Let me take a look." The beloved wife madman immediately stepped forward to check. "It's okay, it's just the little thorns on the leaves, just shake it"

"Really, I'll give it a try." Sure enough, after Zhang Ruiwen shook his body, the tickle went down. "Brother Song, you are amazing"

"Come on, don't do it. I'll make you something fun." Song Zhaoyang said mysteriously.

"What?" Sure enough, Zhang Ruiwen was very interested when he heard the words.Zhang Ruiwen has always felt that there are so many happy things in the field.

Song Chaoyang collected the relatively green corn that he encountered while chopping the corn just now, and dragged Zhang Ruiwen around.Keep looking for something.

"Brother Hua, what do you think Xiaowen and the others are doing? Let's go and see too." Mo Xuelian felt that she was full of vitality, and she was very curious to see Song Chaoyang and his wife wandering in the field.He hurriedly dragged Zhang Ruihua to look.

"Xiaowen, what are you doing?" Mo Xuelian asked excitedly.

"I don't know either. I'm looking for green corn now." Zhang Ruiwen said innocently while being held by Song Zhaoyang.

Facing the three pairs of curious eyes, Song Chaoyang coughed, and said calmly, "I'll bake some corn for everyone later to satisfy your hunger."

"Grilled corn?"

"What?"

"food?"

None of the three had eaten it, and they were all shocked by the grilled corn.There is curiosity, and there is excitement.I always feel that the fatigue just now has been swept away.

"Brother Hua, go find some firewood, and Xiao Wen and I will find some corn. There is a big stone trough in the field." Song Chaoyang ordered.Anyway, people are here too, so it’s not in vain.

"Master, what do you think these children are doing?" Mrs. Zhang asked curiously when she saw that several people were starting to run around.

"Maybe Chaoyang will roast corn for everyone." Song Lai guessed when he looked over and saw the green corn in the arms of Song Chaoyang and Zhang Ruiwen.

There is something to eat as a goal, of course the efficiency is extremely high.After a while, everyone found what they needed and returned with a full load.Everyone gathers on the ground.

Grilled corn is about to start!Song Chaoyang took out the prepared iron bars and honey from the basket.

Under everyone's curious eyes, he inserted an iron rod in the middle of the corn and directed Zhang Ruihua to raise the fire.But Zhang Ruihua hadn't done this kind of work for a long time, the fire didn't start, but he was choked by the smoke enough.In an instant, the "little white face" became a "little black face".Zhang Ruiwen and Mo Xuelian couldn't laugh.

In the end, it was Mo Xuelian who made fun of it, and at the same time lit up a fire, and he was still chanting: "Brother Hua really doesn't know how to do these jobs."

Anyway, today Zhang Ruihua is capable of interpreting the image of a young master who is not as good as a wife in anything.Inner depression.I just hope to comfort myself with food.

Song Chaoyang gave everyone a demonstration, turning the corn back and forth to make it evenly heated.

"Crackling..." It seemed that the corn was making painful noises, and everyone stared at the corn intently, as if it had been roasted, and the corn was roasted deliciously, drooling...

Later, several elders hugged Zhang Xiaomi and smelled the fragrance and came to watch.Song Zhaoyang saw that it was almost ready, and even used a brush to brush a layer of honey on the corn. After the honey was roasted by the fire, the fragrance wafted into the air, which really whetted the appetite.

Zhang Xiaomi couldn't control himself anymore, and rushed forward. Zhang Ruihua and his wife were extremely embarrassed, and their own stupid son.I just didn't see it.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Song Chaoyang yelled, "The corn is ready!"

Everyone came to the spirit immediately, and the two shared one.

"It's scalding to death!!" Zhang Ruiwen yelled as soon as he took the corn.Song Chaoyang shook his head helplessly, he was going to be his father soon, and he was still so cute.

Song Chaoyang neatly "taken off" the outsider like black charcoal, revealing rows of golden particles inside.It looks so delicious... It has successfully attracted a wave of fans from the Zhang family.The most important thing is Zhang Ruiwen's fans.

"Eat slowly," Song Zhaoyang said calmly.

"Huh...huh, it's delicious." Zhang Ruiwen made a happy voice.

"Xiaomi, come and chew slowly." Zhang Ruihua picked a few grains from the corn and blew them to cool.Feed my drooling son.

"Yeah..." Zhang Xiaomi must be very satisfied with the food, Lehe couldn't find his eyes.

"Chaoyang, your grilled corn is really delicious," Mr. Zhang praised. "Compared with tender corn, the corn kernels are thicker, and the roasted corn is slightly charred, which has a great taste"

"Yes, Brother Song, it's so fragrant."

"It's okay, it's a pity that this kind of corn can't be dried in the sun. So it can only be eaten by cooking or roasting."

After eating the roasted corn, we chatted for a while.And full of drive.

"Dad, you go home and cook. That's all that's left, we'll finish it soon." Near noon, Song Lai and Mrs. Zhang took the chubby Zhang Xiaomi home to cook.

"Xiaowen, you and your sister-in-law can pick up the corn into the basket. Finally, we will take it home with a bullock cart." Song Zhaoyang also borrowed a bullock cart from his fourth uncle's house for today's corn harvest.

"I see..." Zhang Ruiwen repeatedly agreed.

"Let me help pull the corn." Mo Nvxia regained the feeling of practicing martial arts today.Unrestrained and happy... It is more difficult to choose from the ability to consume people.

"Not much more, sister-in-law, just pick up the corn, if you can come in time," Song Zhaoyang persuaded.

"That's okay..."

……

"It's finally ready" In less than an hour, the corn was harvested.The yellow ocean in the past is now replaced by corn stalks lying neatly on the ground and baskets of golden corn.The mood is infinitely cool.Autumn is a harvest season.
