Burning the roots of wheat straw is a very interesting thing. When it burns and raises a little yellow smoke, you can smell the decaying vegetation.In the era when there were no combine harvesters, the wheat in the field needed to be harvested manually.At that time, there was a very old straw hat that smelled of sweat after being worn for a long time.The harvested wheat is piled on the ox cart or horse cart, then tied with ropes and pulled directly to the threshing floor.At that time, you can still see the shadow of the stone roll, an extremely old agricultural tool, used to crush wheat.

Qu Jingshen and Jing Ze chatted these gossips intermittently, and didn't feel tired.Jing Ze asked him, "What about the crushed wheat?"

Qu Jingshen said: "After pressing it well, raise it when there is wind, and let the wind blow away the wheat husks."

Jing Ze asked again: "Then is there still a threshing field?"

Qu Jingshen said: "Not too many. Some have planted trees there, and some have built new houses."

Jing Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Qu Jing quickly reminded him: "Be careful not to touch your eyes, there will be dust on your hands."

Jing Ze nodded and asked, "Is there anything else fun? Let's hear it."

Qu Jing thought for a while, and said, "When I was a child, my father always liked to tell me some ghost stories. He said that places like the threshing floor are most likely to have will-o'-the-wisps."

Jingze laughed when he heard this: "Wool-wisps, that's a natural phenomenon."

Qu Jing nodded in deep agreement: "Where is it? At that time, the threshing field was empty, and people didn't often go there. Some people like to throw some rotten clothes and homeless dead people there."

Jing Ze said: "Then take me to have a look after finishing these things."

Starting to talk, Qu Jingshen recalled the story his father told him before.The story is that during the period of the Republic of China, a landlord's son got drunk and didn't go back until midnight.On the way home, I had to pass through a ditch. The ditch was dry at the time, so we could save a lot of wasted time by passing through the bottom of the ditch.The man was so courageous when he was drunk, he crossed the bottom of the ditch without even thinking about it.When he climbed up, several white and tender pigs followed behind him.

Qu Jingshen stopped at this point, and Jing Ze glared at him: "If you don't bring such a thing, hurry up and say it, what happens next?"

Qu Jing laughed deeply and joked, "Guess what happened?"

Jing Ze said: "The white pig must have become a spirit, chasing him must want to eat his meat."

Qu Jing shook her head deeply: "Well, I guessed right, it is indeed pig essence. But they followed him not because they wanted to eat him, but because they were attracted by the smell of alcohol on his body. That pig is also greedy for alcohol."

Jing Ze hurriedly asked, "What happened next?"

Qu Jing spread her hands: "It's gone, my father told me so much at the time. My father also said that in their time, there were weasels, who turned into little old men and went home to beg for water."

Jing Ze found these very interesting, and asked anxiously, "Then give it a drink?"

Qu Jingshen said: "Of course I give it a drink. It holds a grudge. If you don't give it, it will come to the house to make trouble the next day and drag the food away from the house."

Jing Ze chuckled: "It's quite interesting, these things are really rare, are there any more?"

Qu Jingshen said: "When my father was very young, there was a school behind my grandfather's house, and all the children in the village went to school there. Later, the village wanted to redesign the house, so it was demolished. Who knew there was a big python in there , My father said that the mouth of the bowl was thick. Then something strange happened, there was a man who touched a snake with a shovel, and his wife fell ill the same day, saying that she liked to eat raw eggs."

Jing Ze: "Huh? I'll wipe...it's really scary, what happened after that?"

Qu Jing laughed at him deeply: "Stories, they are all about a certain thing, so there is no later. Even if there is, it is also made up by people blindly."

Jing Ze squeezed Qu Jingshen's face: "Yo ho, I really didn't see it before, you're so small, you know quite a lot."

Qu Jingshen smirked: "It was all told by adults when I was a child. My father also said that children should not look up to the sky at night during the first lunar month. If they happen to see shooting stars, the lucky money will be stolen by the shooting stars when they wake up. My father said that shooting stars are thieves." Woolen cloth."

Jing Ze looked at him amusedly: "Then do you believe it?"

Qu Jing nodded deeply: "I believed it when I was a child, so I slept obediently at night and didn't dare to look up to the sky."

Jing Ze fell down with a smile: "You're so stupid, so stupid!"

Qu Jing smiled deeply: "Children don't have so many eyes, in fact, children are quite fun."

Jing Ze suddenly blocked his ears: "If you don't listen, you don't listen, children are in trouble! I'm worth less than [-] million, don't want children!"

The efficiency is quite high. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the straw roots in the field were cleaned up, and the ground was full of black ash.Jingze put his hands on his hips and asked, "Do these things still need to be cleaned?"

Qu Jing shook her head deeply: "No need, use it as fertilizer, it will seep into the ground when it rains."

Jing Ze picked up the short sleeves from the ground and carried them on his shoulders, and said to Qu Jingshen, "Let's go, didn't you mean to take me to the threshing field?"

Qu Jing frowned deeply: "There are wheat awns on the clothes, rub carefully on your body, no one will scratch it for you if it itches."

Jing Ze walked beside him, disdainfully: "Cut~!"

The threshing ground is very flat, and the land there is much harder than other places.There are people living nearby, and the house is extremely high.Trees were planted around the wheat threshing field, and cicadas cried out one after another.A cow is tied to a tree near the house, grazing with its head buried.

Qu Jingshen said: "A few years ago, when there was no combine harvester, it was very lively here in summer. At night, some people 'watched the field' and sat cross-legged on spread out mats to play cards. Children also like to play around here and play hide-and-seek. Or the eagle catches the chicken."

Jing Ze stood on the rock and stomped his feet: "It's pretty solid..." He sat cross-legged on it again: "Honey, look, am I handsome?"

Qu Jingshen said, "It's stupid."

Jingze got off the rock and pushed it with great effort.There was a dog tied in front of the house, and it was barking at Jingze at this moment, and even the chickens in the house were flopping about.

Jingze spread his hands helplessly: "Honey, animals in your countryside bully people."

Qu Jing felt it funny: "It's okay, they treat you as the same kind, are you kind?"

Jing Ze reached out to grab Qu Jingshen: "Bad thing, let you call me a dog."

Qu Jingshen hurriedly dodged, Jing Ze was chasing after him, and he ran ahead.After chasing to an empty corner, seeing that there was no way forward, Jing Ze grabbed Qu Jingshen and scratched him: "Tsk, I can't deal with you yet!"

Qu Jing hid with a deep smile: "I'll change it! I'll change it..."

Jing Ze pushed him against a tree, put his hands behind his back, and let him wrap his arms around the tree trunk.Qu Jing took a deep breath, "Don't make trouble, during the daytime, someone will come and see."

Jing Ze hummed: "I should find a rope to tie you here, if you move around, I won't be polite..."

Qu Jingshen kicked her legs a few times, but missed Jing Ze, so she had to bite him on the shoulder.Jingze was in pain, "Dog, you bite!"

Qu Jingshen said: "Then you get up first and let me go."

Jing Ze pinched his chin, leaned over and gave him a lingering kiss.This kiss is very spicy, like wheat on a June day, roasted hot by the sun.After the kiss, Qu Jingshen was a little out of breath, and looked at Jing Ze with some blame: "Don't let go..."

Jing Ze pinched a certain part of his chest with ease, and gently pulled.Qu Jing frowned deeply in pain: "You..."

Jing Ze looked at him mischievously: "Huh? Go on, what's wrong with me?"

Qu Jingshen said: "I hate it so much, I won't get rid of it if I beat you a hundred times."

Jing Ze frivolously picked his chin: "Are you sure you can beat me? Tsk."

Qu Jingshen said: "You scoundrel, stop making trouble, it's time to go home for dinner."

Jing Ze touched his face: "Why are you blushing? You've seen naked ones, what's there to be shy about?"

Qu Jingshen said: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have brought you here."

Seeing that his wrist was red, Jing Ze finally let him go.Once Qu Jing was free, she hit him, but was stopped by Jing Ze halfway.With his upper body bare, Jing Ze looked like a hooligan at this moment. "Huh? Still not being honest?"

Qu Jingshen finally came to his senses, this guy who dares to love is now a sperm bug!Jingze's big underpants almost fell below his crotch, exposing the sides of his underwear.Qu Jing took a deep look, and said calmly, "Pull up your trousers first."

Jing Ze looked indifferent: "I think this is pretty good, it's cool."

Qu Jing was deeply afraid that he would meet someone he knew, so just in case, he quickly helped Jing Ze lift up the big pants.A ten-year-old child popped out of nowhere and stared at them curiously.

Jing Ze: "..."

Qu Jingshen: "..."

Child:"……"

Jing Ze chuckled, "It's as if you just finished, baby, you're so cute~" Qu Jingshen ignored him all the way, which was unreasonable.

During dinner, Qu Jingshen said to his uncle, "Uncle, we have to go back tomorrow, there is still something to do in the shop."

His uncle didn't keep them either, and took out a few hundred dollars from his pocket and handed them to Qu Jingshen: "Ah Shen, take it, you must have no money when you just started working, save some money."

Just as Qu Jingshen was about to evade, Jing Ze said, "Uncle, we have money, really. If there is more, there are still tens of thousands of dollars." After going back and forth, in short, the money of the elders in the family is not taken. .

They got up early the next day, and it was not yet dawn.She didn't have breakfast at home either. Qu Jingshen said, "I'll go to the town to eat something later. Every time I have to leave, I feel very reluctant." The flowers on the jujube tree have fallen one after another, and the leaves have turned plump and dark green.The scent of jujube flowers is gradually dissipating, and oleander is just in bloom. It always likes sunshine the most.Unknowingly, season after season passed.

Jing Ze said, "You can come back anytime you want. The traffic is now developed."

Qu Jingshen said: "The feeling is still different..."

Jing Ze rubbed his head: "You are the only one who has a heavy heart."

I didn't meet anyone along the way, the two talked in a low voice, and walked to the town to eat something casually.It was another long and tiring journey. On the way to the provincial capital, Jing Ze slapped his knee: "Oh!..."

Qu Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Jing Ze wrinkled his face: "I haven't seen a watermelon growing in the field yet. It must be so cool to steal one and eat it on the way!"

Qu Jingshen said: "If you want to eat, get out of the car and buy one later, and eat on the way."

Jing Ze shook his head violently: "No, the stolen sweets are just ordinary watermelons, nothing rare."

Qu Jingshen didn't understand his logic, and Jing Ze explained, "Can the down-to-earth ones be the same as the ones you bought?"

Of course it's different. The ones grown by ourselves are more earthy.For plants and vegetables, this earthy taste is the rarest.A row of leeks, cucumbers, beans, and even the fertilizers used are all natural.At the end of autumn, candeli and Chinese cabbage are planted. The eggplants beaten by frost are very interesting.Chinese cabbage is more splashy, not squeamish.When it is buried in the ground or stored in the cellar in winter, there will be pickles for a winter.

Jingze may understand these things, but Jingze probably cannot understand the kind of deeper attachment.After all, he grew up in the city, and he always has a kind of fun about the good things in the countryside. It is something of pleasure, not trust.

They still took the same train number as the last time they went back, the night train.There were very few people in the car, and the fan on the roof was spinning back and forth, creaking.Qu Jing was deeply asleep below, and he asked Jing Ze: "Hey, are you asleep?"

Jing Ze leaned on his elbow and looked down: "No, I miss you."

Qu Jing smiled deeply: "Hurry up and sleep, you will be home as soon as you wake up, did you tell Xiaobai?"

Jing Ze nodded: "I sent a text message, baby, am I handsome?" Jing Ze asked Qu Jingshen with a cool expression.

Qu Jingshen said: "Men look at men, but they can't tell."

Jingze: "Cut~ I don't know you yet, you must think I'm so handsome!"

Qu Jing closed her eyes deeply: "Sleep, um, you are the most handsome."

Jing Ze retracted his head in satisfaction, there were no passengers around their bed or seat.When I was half asleep and half awake, I still vaguely felt that a conductor was passing by.

It was already afternoon when we got back to the shop, when the sun was at its most poisonous.Xiaobai dozed off, and when he heard the movement, he opened his eyes blankly: "Brother..." After fully waking up, he widened his eyes: "Brother, you are back!"

Jingze clicked his tongue: "Bai, I'm getting more and more dull. It's not good to age early. By the way, do you have watermelons at home?"

Wei Xiaowu opened the refrigerator and took two watermelons and handed them over, saying indifferently, "Here."

Qu Jingshen took it over and said, "Thank you, Da Wu is still used to staying here?"

Wei Xiaowu nodded, and Xiaobai said, "Cut, don't mention how used it is, sitting on the sofa with your legs crossed all day, don't mention Dad!"

After Jingze finished eating the watermelon, he threw the skin outside the door and wiped his hands with his clothes.Qu Jing frowned deeply: "How many times have I told you that watermelon juice is difficult to wash, why don't you listen to it?"

Qu Jingshen's next words were cut off, and Jing Ze dragged him upstairs to catch up on sleep.Xiaobai called to Wei Xiaowu: "Hey, you... go buy another watermelon!"

Wei Xiaowu glared at him: "Why do you ask the uncle to buy it?"

Xiaobai gave him a blank look: "Because you came late."

The next day Qu Jingshen got up early in the morning and re-checked Xiaobai's account books for the past few days, and found a few small mistakes.Xiaobai is very fun. Some things can’t be written, so I just use pinyin instead.Sometimes I can't remember the pinyin, so I just draw a circle.

Jing Ze is much better now than before, so he got up and went to the construction site.Qu Jingshen pressed an order number in the morning, and when she put down the phone, she excitedly said to Xiaobai and Wei Xiaowu: "There is a big business, the newly built new community is in urgent need of goods!"

Xiaobai took out the computer and clicked it. He stared at the figure with wide eyes: "Brother, there are... tens of thousands..."

Qu Jing nodded deeply: "Well, I've been busy these two days."

When the orderer called, he asked: Do you have a website on the Internet?These words made Qu Jingshen firmer in his idea of ​​building a website. He told Xiaobai and Wei Xiaowu about this, and they were confused.

Qu Jingshen explained: "Taking pictures of our products and posting them on the Internet, and then writing a summary to introduce the products, at least let people have a better understanding."

Xiaobai rubbed his head: "I don't even know how to surf the Internet, how about you, Dawu?"

Wei Xiaowu got angry: "Nonsense! Of course I won't either!"

Qu Jingshen said: "I've decided, I'll enroll in an evening school in two days, and I'll learn this." He looked at Xiaobai and Wei Xiaowu, and asked, "How about you?"

Wei Xiaowu said, "I have no money to pay tuition now."

Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "I really want to go, but I can't stay here forever without being able to help."

Qu Jing patted Xiaobai's shoulder deeply: "It doesn't take up too much time. I will pay for Dawu's tuition first, and then I will pay back when I have it. It's okay."
