Xiao Qiao Flowing Water

In mid-June every year, it is the summer harvest time. Every household in the village gets up early and works late at night. This period is also called double rush, that is, rush to harvest crops and rush to plant crops. If this period is missed, the autumn harvest output will be greatly reduced.

In the morning, Liu Shui and Xiao Qiao ate breakfast quietly, and when they were done eating, Liu Shui brought the medicinal soup and said, "It's summer harvest during this period, I guess they won't come."

Xiao Qiao nodded, "They all said it yesterday."

After the medicine was exhausted, Xiao Qiao handed the bowl to Liu Shui, who was tidying up in the kitchen, Xiao Qiao sat in the courtyard, wondering what to think.After a while, an eagle landed on the table, Xiao Qiao reached out and touched its head, "Ah Yi." He took out a note from the small bamboo tube on his feet, opened it, and there were only twelve words on it: "The rest of the party is cleared, welcome The leader has returned to the religion." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he put away the note.Then he turned the wheelchair with his hand, "Ah Yi", Ah Yi heard the words and flew on his shoulder.Xiao Qiao entered the room and went to the desk, sharpened the pen, put the note into the small bamboo tube, and Ah Yi flew out from the window.

Liu Shui came out from the kitchen to look for Xiao Qiao after cleaning up. Seeing that she was not in the yard, he went to look for her in the house. When he arrived at the door of the room, he saw Xiao Qiao sitting at the table and staring out the window, as if thinking about something.Liu Shui shouted, "Little Qiao."

Xiao Qiao regained her senses, turned her head to look at the flowing water, and said, "What's the matter?"

"In the past few days, I have to go to various fields to see the harvest. I am bored at home, so I would like to ask if you want to go out and have a look." Liu Shui asked.

Xiao Qiao nodded, "I haven't been out yet, I just happened to take a look at this village."

Liu Shui walked to Xiao Qiao's side, and said happily, "Then let's go now, come back at noon, it will be cooler in the morning." Immediately, he pushed Xiao Qiao out to check the harvest.

Every year during the summer and autumn harvests, Liu Shui would go to the fields to inspect the harvest and collect rent from the harvest. The tenants had nothing to say and were willing to rent the land.

The running water pushed Xiao Qiao on the road, chatting a few words, and met few people on the road, and now all the able-bodied households are busy working in the fields.Liushui pushed Xiao Qiao to his field. Seeing that the rice in the field was good and the people were busy, a middle-aged man with a smile walked up to Liushui, "Master, there is plenty of rain this year, and the harvest is good."

Liu Shui said: "Uncle Li, it doesn't mean that you don't need to call me Master, just call me Liu Shui."

Uncle Li said: "Etiquette is undeniable. I am your tenant, so I should be called that way, and you are an adult now. There are so many people behind me, so I can't be called that way anymore."

Liu Shui was helpless, and said: "Then, all right."

Seeing the beautiful woman beside Liushui, Uncle Li said, "This is Miss Xiao Qiao."

Xiao Qiao nodded, "Hello, Uncle Li."

"Okay, okay" and joked to Liu Shui: "Master is so lucky, I will have to ask Master for a wedding wine in the future."

Liu Shui blushed anxiously: "No, don't get me wrong, Xiao Qiao is just my patient."

Seeing this, Uncle Li laughed and said, "Okay, but the master has to hurry up."

Liu Shui's cheeks became redder amidst the laughter, and the corners of Xiao Qiao's mouth curled up when he saw this.Liu Shui coughed a few times, "Uncle Li, this year will still be based on last year's ratio."

Hearing this, Uncle Li cupped his hands and said happily, "Thank you, master." Then he said, "Would you like to come and sit at home, master?"

Liu Shui shook his head, "No, I'll show Xiao Qiao around, Uncle Li can do his own work."

"Okay, then I'll go to work first, and the master will leave." Uncle Li went to work in the field.

Liu Shui watched Uncle Li leave, "Don't listen to Uncle Li talking nonsense just now."

Listening to Liu Shui's blushing, Xiao Qiao hurriedly explained, nodded with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and stopped teasing her, for fear that she would become angry from embarrassment.

The flowing water pushed Xiao Qiao around the field for a while, and then went to look at other places, and finally came to the stream, "This stream flows through several villages, and every family eats this stream."

Xiao Qiao quietly looked at the scenery by the stream, and only whispered: "That's great."

Seeing the fish and snails in the clear stream, the flowing water said, "Little Qiao, I will cook the snail meat for you to try at noon today." Immediately, he took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his sleeves and trousers, and went down into the stream. , The coolness reached the bottom of my heart, and said straight: "Cool" Immediately, he took the stream water and washed his face, then took out a handkerchief from his arms to wet it, and handed it to Xiao Qiao, "Wipe, it's very hot, we will go back later."

Xiao Qiao nodded and took the handkerchief to wipe her face, then returned the running water.Liu Shui put away the handkerchief, began to touch the screw in the stream, and placed it on the bank.Xiao Qiao looked at the happy running water standing in the stream on the bank. Under the sunlight, the water rippled, and the refracted sunlight swayed on the running water, fascinated for a moment.

After a while, the flowing water looked at the shore and guessed that a plate of screw meat could be fried, so he went ashore and said: "Xiao Qiao can go back." Then he said: "How do you take these back?"

Xiao Qiao said, "Wrap it in your handkerchief, I'll hold it for you."

Liu Shui took out the handkerchief and said straightly, "Good idea."

Back home, Liushui placed the screws in the yard, pushed Xiao Qiao into the house, and said, "Sit here and drink water, and I will cook when it is almost noon." After the meat was cleaned, he went to the cellar to get some vegetables and started cooking.

After eating, Xiao Qiao drank the medicine, and said in a flowing voice: "The meat and big bones bought from the city are also used up, I won't go to collect medicine today, I will go to the mountains to hunt some game later and come back to give you a boost." , you are bored by yourself, let’s take a lunch break.”

Xiao Qiao nodded when she heard the words, "Then you pay attention to safety."

Liu Shui nodded happily, not sure if it was because of the phrase "be careful of safety".

Liu Shui tidied up, with a dagger on his waist, picked up a bow and arrow and went up the mountain to hunt.Generally, Liushui will go hunting with villagers in the mountains in winter, because the young people in the village will go hunting together in winter.
