The train back to Qu Jingshen's house had to travel for a while at night, it was still a sleeper, the car was still not brightly lit, and it was still pitch black.The difference is that there is a moon tonight.The curved touch hangs on the sky, reflecting the fishing fire in the distance, making the water surface flickering.

Qu Jing asked Jing Ze in a low voice, "Are you asleep?"

Jing Ze probably fell asleep, and did not respond, Qu Jing turned over and continued to sleep.The rattle of the train can be heard in my ears, and the horn can be heard from time to time.Everything is simple and plain, looking at the vast night, my heart is very quiet.Qu Jingshen just fell asleep with the sound of the train on her head, half dreaming and half awake.

At dawn, Jingze woke up, and he climbed down from the upper bunk lightly.Qu Jingshen turned over uneasy, and Jing Ze gently pinched his ears: "Honey, it's time to wake up."

Qu Jing rubbed Jingze's palm deeply, her voice sounded a little hoarse: "It's dawn..."

Jing Ze pulled him up from the crib: "Don't lie down, it's uncomfortable, go home and go back to sleep."

Qu Jing leaned deeply on Jing Ze and said, "Well, do you want breakfast?"

Jing Ze said with a bitter face: "The food on the train is so unpalatable, I don't want to eat it!"

Qu Jing couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you pretending to be crazy on purpose?..."

Jing Ze said: "This is a complete set if it is combined with rolling on the ground. I used to play with my mother when I was young."

Qu Jingshen said: "Your mother is so pitiful. It's okay, don't get so close, it's hot."

After tossing and turning all the way, they finally arrived at the entrance of Qu Jingshen's village.Jing Ze was holding the tonic bought for Qu Jingshen's uncle in his hand, and his whole body was almost roasted by the sun.The smell of ripe crops wafts along the road, with a bit of rustic flavor, which smells very good, and you will never smell it in the city.

Looking at the road in the village, Jing Ze sighed, "Fortunately, it didn't rain. It rained just after I came back. It's killing me."

Qu Jingshen walked beside him, "Listen to what my uncle said, the higher ups are always talking about allocating money to build roads, but they haven't done anything."

Jing Ze hummed: "You count on them, drink the northwest wind."

Qu Jingshen said: "Actually, it doesn't cost much to build a road."

Jingze kicked the dirt under his feet, and the straw accidentally got into his shoes, which was extremely uncomfortable.He frowned and said, "I heard people talking about Hope Primary School, and I thought it was a big one. I didn't expect a primary school to have only one teacher, a few broken tile houses, and leaks when it rains, like swimming lessons."

Qu Jing smiled deeply: "Raise your feet higher, and I'll take them out for you. Don't move around, the more you move, the hotter you will be."

Jing Ze was very cooperative, and said: "There are not many people in the countryside who really go to school and go out."

Qu Jingshen smirked: "Actually, it's pretty good here, at least I live quite comfortably. It's just the family's short-sightedness, those things."

The two passed by the fish pond of Daqiang's house, subconsciously raised their heads and glanced at the opposite side, but there was no one, and the door of the small house was also locked.Qu Jingshen said: "I must be busy harvesting wheat, and the straw roots in the field have to be burned."

Jingze flexed his wrist and said, "I still want to fight with him, cut."

Qu Jingshen said: "Then I won't help you, I'll suffer if I get beaten up."

The two gossiped, and walked to the door of his uncle's house without knowing it.Rhubarb at home barked when he heard the movement.Qu Jing pushed the door open and went in, seeing that it was him, Da Huang wagged her tail happily.Qu Jingxu came out of the room with her upper body shirtless. Seeing that it was Qu Jingshen, she was both surprised and cautious: "Brother, I heard my mother said that you called the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect you to come back. I heard that my father said you Can talk, really?"

Qu Jingshen handed the things in her hand to Qu Jingxu, and nodded with a smile: "Well, I can talk, I had a minor operation."

Qu Jingxu was a few years younger than Qu Jingshen. She was in high school and was very thin. Her skin was not as pale as Qu Jing's, but she was much taller than Qu Jingshen.Qu Jingxu glanced at Jingze and asked Qu Jingshen, "Brother, is this?"

Jing Ze knew him well, patted him on the shoulder and said, "From now on, I'll just call him Brother. Is your father alright?"

Qu Jingxu sighed: "The doctor said it's nothing serious, it's just a broken bone. But in the future, I can't do serious things."

Qu Jingshen and Jing Ze went to see his uncle in the house, and when his uncle saw him, he started nagging: "I'm not seriously injured, I'm so far away, and I'm fine at home, what are you doing here?"

Qu Jingshen didn't say a word, and after making sure that his uncle was fine, her heart finally settled down.During dinner, we began to talk about harvesting wheat.Qu Jing asked deeply, "Did you find the harvester?"

Qu Jingxu shook her head discouragedly: "No, there are not many harvesters coming, but there are many lands, so we have to take turns slowly."

Qu Jing nodded deeply and didn't say any more.Jingze started to move randomly: "Grab it, fight if you can't grab it, whoever wins will use it first!"

Qu Jingxu looked at him with admiring eyes: "I said so too, but my mother won't let me! Hehe, let's use this method tomorrow."

Jingze said: "One person carries the shovel, and if anyone doesn't like it, he will shoot it!"

Qu Jing gave him a deep look: "Did you teach me like this, Xiao Xu, don't listen to him."

Jing Ze chuckled: "Xu, it will be great to take you to the city during the summer vacation."

Qu Jingxu was still a child, and nodded solemnly: "That's good, but I'm going to be a junior at the beginning of school, and it won't be too late for me to be admitted to university."

Except for Qu Jingshen, the people at the table talked the least, either smiling or nodding.After dinner was past eight o'clock, his aunt said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep at home, Xiao Xu, how many nights are you going to sleep at your classmate's house?"

Qu Jingxu answered, picked up his clothes, and went out: "Hey—then I'll come back early tomorrow morning and go home for breakfast."

His aunt confessed: "Stop playing cards at night, and go to bed then?"

Qu Jingxu disappeared in a flash, and Rhubarb was bitten by mosquitoes and whined in circles.His aunt asked if he wanted to boil some hot water for a bath, and Jingze said, "Auntie, go to sleep, it's such a hot day, just wash with cold water."

When they returned to the room where they were temporarily staying, Qu Jingshen put the things away, then turned to Jingze and asked, "Tell me, what else are you thinking?"

Jing Ze chuckled: "I haven't bathed in the river yet, the last time I was chased by the chimpanzee brother doesn't count!"

Qu Jingshen said: "There are many mosquitoes by the river, besides, you are not afraid that Daqiang will catch you and beat you?"

Jing Ze snapped: "It's so dark at night, if you don't say anything, who knows if I don't say anything!"

Qu Jing couldn't bear Jing Ze's softness, and was reluctantly dragged by Jing Ze to the river.The liveliness in the river had long since passed, and only a few people remained.Qu Jingshen said: "You have to wear slippers to go down, because there are bricks and glass at the bottom of the river."

Jing Ze tore off his short sleeves, took off his big pants, and plunged into the river, splashing a lot of water with a bang.Jingze snorted and called Qu Jingshen in a low voice: "Rabbit, come down, the river is still warm."

Qu Jingshen got down into the river in a regular manner, and walked a little further in, the water was just up to her waist.Jingze was very fussy, splashing the surrounding water vigorously.Qu Jing frowned deeply: "Hurry up and wash, I have to go home in a while, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

Jingze pretended to be strange: "This is the first time I went down the river, I feel so old-fashioned." Jingze took a handful of water and said, "It doesn't smell like bleach, it's so natural."

Qu Jing grabbed his arm deeply: "Don't go in, deep."

Jingze straightened his chest: "It's okay, young master is swimming..." The mud at the bottom of the river was very slippery, Jingze accidentally slipped and almost fell over.Qu Jing hurriedly pulled him back: "I told you, Hua, you just don't believe me."

Jing Ze took the opportunity to hug Qu Jingshen: "I'm so scared, rabbit, I'll give you a chance to protect me, take it."

Qu Jingshen was afraid of being seen by others, so she quickly pushed him away: "Wash quickly, or I won't wait for you after I finish washing."

Jing Ze laughed and said, "Don't, don't, let me have fun first!"

Qu Jing muttered deeply: "A dog?"

Jing Ze didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What?"

Qu Jingshen shook her head in the dark: "No, wash it quickly."

The sound of frogs can be heard on the river, and from time to time there is a low sound of water splashing in my ears.Jing Ze asked Qu Jingshen: "Rabbit, what's the sound?"

Qu Jingshen was not surprised: "The sound of a frog diving into the water."

Jingze asked again: "There are frogs in this water, I thought there were only fish."

Qu Jingshen didn't know whether it was intentional or intentional to scare him, so she said, "There are snakes, water snakes, which swim very fast."

As soon as these words came out, Jingze's hairs immediately stood on end: "What?...I'll wipe, stop, stop! Stop!"

Qu Jingshen continued the unfinished sentence: "But this snake is not poisonous, and it bleeds a little when bitten, and it hurts for a few days."

Just at this time, a gust of wind blew, and Jingze felt his body was cool, and even his senses became more sensitive.At this time, something rubbed against his leg, and it was so soft... Jing Ze immediately staggered towards Qu Jing: "Rabbit, something just brushed past my leg..."

Qu Jingshen said, "Fish, don't worry."

Jing Ze grabbed his shoulder: "But I don't feel like a fish, like a snake... I can feel its tail, and it rubbed against me."

Qu Jing nodded deeply: "Then you wash it quickly, or you won't be able to bite you after swimming around."

Jing Ze moved much faster than before, and Qu Jing laughed deeply in her heart.Sure enough, after a while, Jingze asked to go ashore.Qu Jing thought deeply in her heart, this is my territory no matter what, so I can't deal with you.

The two went home along the same road, talking on the unlit road.Jing Ze was still correcting the question just now: "Is there really such a thing?"

Qu Jing nodded solemnly: "When there is a flood, all the snakes in the water climb on the branches, but there are also some that swim in the water."

Jing Ze shook his shoulders: "It's scary, baby, aren't you afraid?"

Qu Jingshen said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If you don't do anything to it, it doesn't do anything to you."

At this time, when you look up, you can see the Big Dipper hanging in the sky like a spoon.The stars come on and off, and there are crickets chirping in the haystack by the roadside.Some people may have burned out a light bulb and lit a candle.The candlelight was so weak that it was hard to see clearly.This is probably the sound of the countryside. In the early years, there would be women holding the soles of their shoes under the lamp, and wearing the twine they made at home on their feet.The cloth is not good cloth. It is made of cut old clothes, dipped in starch, pasted on the board, and then dried in the sun.After drying, cut them into shoe patterns, and wrap them up layer by layer with twine.The finished shoes let relatives wear them on their feet and walk on the uneven dirt roads in the countryside.

Jing Ze listened carefully to Qu Jingshen's unhurried words, and asked, "Isn't it okay to buy shoes?"

Qu Jingshen said: "My home made them thoughtfully, and later I started to sell foam soles. They look better than my own, and they are lighter to wear, but they just cover my feet."

Jing Ze said: "I haven't worn these shoes since I was a child, my mother always buys them."

Qu Jing smiled deeply: "When I first went to school in the city, I was still not used to wearing the shoes I bought. I always felt uncomfortable."

On this point, Jing Ze felt the same way, "Well, it's a shame, walking barefoot is the most comfortable."

Qu Jingshen said: "I can't say enough about you, you have too many crooked reasons."

Jing Ze asked: "Why did you tell me? If you tell me every time, you won't want to talk to me any more."

After hearing this deeply, Qu Jing smiled and said, "I'm stupid."

Jing Ze said to himself: "No, the mouth and the job are pretty good. You've been making progress. I'm optimistic about you, wife."

Qu Jingshen bumped him with an elbow: "Is it interesting to talk about this kind of thing all day?"

Jing Ze was right: "It's just the two of us, I don't like to talk about it when there are people."

The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, Qu Jingshen got up.In summer, it dawns early, it is only after five o'clock, and the sky is bright.He went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and then went back to the house to call Jingze.Jing Ze lay sprawled all over, without any human appearance.

Qu Jing pushed him a few times: "Get up, there's still work to do in a while."

Jing Ze opened his eyes in a daze and said, "Good morning kiss."

After confirming that there was no one at the door, Qu Jingshen leaned down and kissed him. "Are you sick again?"

Jing Ze knew he had something to do today, so he got up from the bed quickly.Qu Jingxu came home after six o'clock, and Qu Jingshen helped him with the meal. After he finished eating, the three of them went out together.It's already getting hot, but the heat isn't too hot as the sun has just risen.

Qu Jingxu was driving the family's three-horse carriage, Jingze was very curious and insisted on trying it.Qu Jingshen hurriedly stopped him: "When the work is over, play as long as you like."

Jing Ze shrugged his shoulders: "Xu, is this easy to learn?"

Qu Jingxu nodded sharply: "Easy to learn, you can drive this if you know how to drive. However, you may not be used to it when you first drive, because the handlebars are very flexible."

The three-horse carriage stopped next to the ground, and when I looked up, I saw an uneven wheat field.Some people have finished mowing, and some have not yet lined up the harvester.Jing Ze still remembered that when he came here a few months ago, the wheat was still green at that time, but he didn't expect that it would ripen golden in just a few months.

The wheat awns are ripe like lost nutrients, standing up dry.But don't underestimate this thing, it hurts people who can pierce it through clothes.It is said that it is also poisonous, making the skin red and itchy, and it will become inflamed after scratching for a long time.Qu Jingshen repeatedly told Jingze not to touch this thing.Jing Ze looked at the endless wheat field, and suddenly felt that he had a unique sense of existence.Probably no matter who it is, when it comes to the harvest season, I will be very satisfied in my heart.

A few combine harvesters could be seen in the distance, and Qu Jingxu waved at them all the way: "Brother! Let's follow that one and call over as soon as the harvesting is over."

Qu Jingshen said, "Is there nothing else..."

Jing Ze responded: "Okay! Xu, let's go there!"

Qu Jing frowned deeply: "I don't even look to see if there is anything else, how do you know that it will be cut in a while?"

Jing Ze said: "There are still so many uncut ones, and the others are the same." Jing Ze said and left first, and Qu Jingshen had to follow behind.

After nine o'clock, the sun began to heat up like chicken blood.Jing Ze squatted on the ridge of the field and squinted to drink water. Qu Jingshen said, "Are you okay? If you don't feel well, tell me, don't suffer from heatstroke."

Jing Ze shook his head and said, "It's okay! His grandma, why are there so many appointments? It's been several hours."

Qu Jingshen said: "They think the village is small, so they don't come at all, and there are more this year."

The lunch was brought by his aunt, freshly steamed buns in the morning, white and fat.Although it is not as good-looking as I bought it, it is very delicious.Jing Ze was so hungry that he ate five of them in one go.Qu Jing stared deeply at his stomach, opened her mouth and said nothing.

Jing Ze wanted to reach out for it again, but Qu Jingshen said, "Don't hold on, we'll eat at night when we go back."

Jing Ze bit the bun and looked at him pitifully: "I'm hungry, Auntie, your cooking is so delicious."

His aunt was a little embarrassed by the praise, and smiled shyly, "It's normal to eat at this age, don't choke, drink some water..."

Qu Jingshen stood aside with a bowl of water, and Jingze took a few sips from time to time.A few people stood under the shade of the tree and looked at the busy harvesters. His aunt sighed: "Today is enough to take my turn."

Jing Ze said: "Don't worry, even if you put a knife on the driver's neck, let him cut it before dark."

Qu Jingxu echoed: "That's right!" Fu frowned and looked at the sky again: "Woo...it's so hot!"

Jing Ze's words came true, and when it was their turn, it was going to be dark.There was no time for dinner, Jing Ze and Qu Jingshen were in charge of picking up the wheat in the bag, and Qu Jingxu was in charge of sealing it.Fortunately, the machine cuts quickly, and the distance between several fields is not too far.

It was already dark, and someone pulled the wires, and the light from the light bulb was far away, so I wouldn't be blind.Jing Ze stuck out his tongue like a dog tiredly: "I'll fuck him, this is really not a human job!"

Qu Jingshen said: "It's like this during the busy farming season, and I don't have time to eat all day."

Qu Jingxu yelled: "My fingers are about to tie a knot!"

After more than two hours, the tossing was finally over, and Jingze watched the wheat in the three-horse cart collapse to the ground.Qu Jing sat next to him worriedly and asked, "Are you all right? Do you want some water?"

Jing Ze lay on the ground with his upper body bare: "Take a breath first...I'll wipe it, I feel that Rhubarb is happier than me now."

Qu Jingxu asked Qu Jingshen: "Brother, what do I mean by rubbing? What are you rubbing?..."

Qu Jing took a deep look at Jingze, and said to Qu Jingxu: "Let's take a rest and go home, my aunt is still waiting."

Jing Ze stretched out his fingers to poke Qu Jingshen's waist and eyes, and smiled at him.Qu Jingshen said, "Aren't you very tired?"
