Seeing that the weather is getting colder, summer has a short tail, there is no transition in the north, and autumn has almost entered abruptly. In this village, this season is the season for planting. A donkey followed suit, at least able to pull a small stone roller to press wheat seeds. The Bai family also had a donkey before, but it was sold last year.

The family's labor force is full and there are two, the second uncle and Da Lang. At this time, Grandma Bai seems to have seen Da Lang's goodness. She can occasionally say a few words at the dinner table to let him eat more, which makes Da Lang very flattered. With [-]% strength, in just a few days, the person lost a lot of weight.

Growing wheat is no more complicated than growing rice in the south. Plowing and planting are carried out at the same time, and the "敪" is walked in the field by pulling the "敪". There are plum blossom eyes at the bottom of the bucket, and there are wheat seeds in it. This thing is strong and weighs several tens of catties. It is said that it should be pulled by oxen, but where poor people have oxen, they can only be pulled by people.

After eating early in the morning, the honest Dalang walked to the wall, and subconsciously wanted to pick up the pan. The second uncle rolled his eyes and rushed over to stop him. With his hands on the handle, he said in a tone almost benevolent : "Let me carry it."

Da Lang was overwhelmed by the flattery, as a junior, how could he let the elders carry it, he hurried up to grab it, "Second Uncle, let me do it."

The second uncle didn't put on a show this time, he didn't let go, and finally explained the reason, "I'll carry it, I'll carry it, you take a rest, and you will have the strength to plow the ground soon."

Seeing what his second uncle said, Da Lang finally stopped arguing, but he couldn't tell that his second uncle was preparing for a while of laziness.

The second uncle exerted all his strength, and lifted the horse. Seeing that his slightly hunched back was even more bent, and his legs were trembling a little, Mrs. Xu looked at it distressedly, but she knew what she meant as a man. He didn't speak.

Da Lang carried the wheat seeds on his back, and the two went out one after the other. Da Lang was quite uneasy about letting his second uncle carry the farm tools, looked back frequently, and opened his mouth several times to take over.

At this time, Grandma Bai will look at Bai Xin and sigh, "When will Sanlang grow up?"

Only at this time, Cao Shi hoped that her son would grow up more slowly, because she could not bear her son to suffer.

Busy and busy, the whole village is preparing for the coming winter. Bai Xin was sent up the mountain by Grandma Bai. I went to the county to sell it twice, and because the whole village was busy farming, no one cared about him.

July [-]th is destined to be an eventful day.

Early that morning, Bai Xin felt unwell, his whole body was sore and sore, his head was dizzy and he couldn't use his strength, and at the same time, he was a little upset.

Seeing that her son's cheeks were flushed and his spirit was depressed, Mrs. Cao was taken aback. Although fever is a minor illness, if it is not handled well, it will become a serious illness and even kill him. She immediately found Grandma Bai. She didn't dare to let her pay for her son's medical treatment, but she could also give her son a day off.

When Grandma Bai heard that Bai Xin had a fever, she wasn't worried at first, but felt sorry for the money she might have to spend on the medicine, and when she saw Cao's mournful face, she became even more angry and scolded viciously: "Worthless, He got sick after not doing anything all day, so what can he do in the future?"

Mrs. Cao felt uncomfortable hearing those words, but she could only bear it silently, praying for her son's safety in her heart.

Bai Xin was lying on the bed, listening to Grandma Bai's scolding voices, he was annoyed by his unbelievable body, he turned over, his heart was still in a mess, he always felt that something was going to happen, and then he blamed How can I become sentimental when I am thinking wildly and having a minor illness.

"Third brother, drink some hot water." Wu Niang walked in holding a porcelain bowl with both hands, which was seventy percent full of water. She walked slowly, staring at the bowl with good eyesight, and saw the The water swayed back and forth and slid across the edge several times, Wu Niang yelled.

Bai Xin sat up and watched her movements with amused expression. When she approached, he immediately took the bowl and drank it in small sips. He felt that the slightly hot water slid down his throat into his stomach, warming it up. Appetite, the whole body is more comfortable.

Wu Niang sat on the edge of the bed, her feet dangling back and forth, and instinctively felt relieved when her brother drank the water. To comfort him, she began to say, "Third Brother, take a good rest today, and it will be fine tomorrow." .”

Bai Xin is really tired and sick. Others regard his going up the mountain as a play, but Wu Niang knows how hard he is every day, and he hardly has a moment to spare. Followed up the mountain, most of them stayed at home, and slowly started to learn embroidery.Although Bai Xin's workload can't keep up with Dalang's, don't forget that this body is only a 12-year-old child, and he can't stand running up the mountain all day.

Bai Xin knew it himself, nodded and said with a smile, "Well, it will be all right tomorrow."

After resting on the bed for nearly a whole morning, Bai Xin felt much better, and her body strength gradually recovered. Perhaps it was because she only drank a bowl of clear porridge in the morning, her stomach growled in protest, thinking that there was still some time before lunch, Bai Xin Xin Jin dragged her to the kitchen.

The kitchen is built on the east side, and the windows are on the west side. In the morning, the sun can’t come in at all, and the window paper is covered with a layer of oil. When you walk into the kitchen, it’s as if it’s evening, pitch black. , Fortunately, Bai Xin is familiar with it, and found the counter skillfully, first pinched a piece of pickles, salty and cold, but stimulated his tongue very appetizing, he felt more hungry, so he groped for another dumpling He came out and was about to eat when he heard Xu's low voice from outside, "Mother, there is a matchmaker in the village."

Bai Xin immediately felt a thump in his heart, as if the heavy Wunuo dumpling flew directly into his throat and blocked his chest.

Grandma Bai gave a grace without being able to hear the emotion.

Although Mrs. Xu thought that no one would hear her, she still hesitated, and finally gritted her teeth for the sake of her son's future, and said, "Look at the current situation of our family, it is really difficult. There are only two men farming in the family, and his third uncle There are too many people to support, and Erlang still needs to study and practice calligraphy, and he will have to take an exam in the coming year, so I don’t think it’s better... it’s better to sell Wu Niang.”

Bai Xin felt that her eyes were getting dark. Grandma Bai would do anything for Erlang. The third and fourth mothers were protected by Mrs. Ding, so Mrs. Xu naturally did not dare to pay attention to them, so she naturally focused on the best. The bullying Dafang, next, Bai Xin's ears were ringing, and he kept asking himself what to do.

Grandma Bai was not surprised by Xu Shi's words at all. Although she was already moved, she still had some strange emotions about whether it was her own granddaughter.

Seeing that Grandma Bai didn't immediately refute, Mrs. Xu knew there was something to be said about this, so she went on to lobby: "This is also for the good of Wu Niang. She is in our house, and she doesn't have enough food and clothing. If you sell it to her, you will also sell it to a rich family. Being a maid, isn't that treatment better than being in our house? At least she won't be able to treat her poorly, if she is lucky, maybe she can... At that time, she will enjoy endless blessings."

Mrs. Xu paused hintingly. Grandma Bai understood, and Bai Xin naturally understood too. At this moment, he was so angry that he wished he could stab Mrs. Xu with a fire stick. He had been trying his best to calm himself down. This time they rushed out and fell out, and with Grandma Bai's accommodating temperament, she definitely agreed to sell Wu Niang. Bai Xin took a long breath and continued listening, praying that Grandma Bai would refuse.

"Ok."

The two short words broke Bai Xin's last hope. Grandma Bai said it urgently and quickly. In fact, she still hesitated in her heart, but it seemed that after she said it quickly, there was no excuse to refute, "The toothmaid will come here later." When the side comes, I will call her in."

"Okay!" Xu's voice couldn't hide her joy, because she had foreseen that the family would have some extra money, which could buy Erlang decent clothes and save him from losing face in front of his classmates, but then she asked, "What about that?" Sister-in-law's place..."

Grandma Bai sucked her teeth. Although she usually held Cao in her hands and rubbed them round and flattened, she was selling Cao's daughter after all. she says."

The two returned to the main house one after the other. After a while, Bai Xin regained his senses. At that moment, he felt his limbs were heavy, and the Wunuo dumpling in his hand had been inadvertently pinched out several finger holes. Crushed.

Bai Xin walked out of the kitchen step by step. The sun was shining brightly outside, but it made him shiver. He walked to the door numbly. When he reached the door, he was stopped by an old voice behind him, "Sanlang , where are you going? Why don't you take a good rest in bed when you are sick?"

Grandma Bai's voice was almost gentle. If there was no opportunity to sell Wu Niang in normal times, Grandma Bai would definitely scold him coldly, either for pretending to be sick, or for being playful.

Bai Xin turned around stiffly, her eyes could hardly reflect Grandma Bai's facial features, only that the skinny old lady standing under the eaves was full of malicious intentions.

Bai Xin's eyes gradually regained clarity, he showed a sarcasm smile, and even laughed in his heart - the more you want something, the more I will ruin it as much as possible in the future.

Grandma Bai saw Sanlang smiling strangely, she was a little guilty, she still didn't scold him, "Good boy, go in and lie down when you're sick, grandma will cook you an egg tonight."

If Mrs. Cao heard this, she would probably weep with joy.

"Grandma, I'm fine. I just remembered that Yu Xiaobao made an appointment with me yesterday. Don't you say you want to please him? I'll be fine if I don't make the appointment." Bai Xin's voice had no ups and downs, piercing the dry air.

He even forgot to pretend that his words didn't sound like the words of a 12-year-old.If there is no opportunity to sell Wu Niang, Grandma Bai must have thought that he was pretending to be sick today, but at this moment, Grandma Bai wished that Bai Xin would not be at home, as if this would isolate Cao Shi, she squeezed out a stiff Smiling, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, go, go and play with Xiaobao, I'm too attached to you at ordinary times, let's play more today."

Bai Xin turned his head, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his eyes were so gloomy that people would shy away.
