Paradise

After the Lin family's small grocery store opened, people from the village and neighboring villages came to buy things one after another because of the proximity and low prices.

Sometimes there are more people who buy, sometimes there are fewer people. There are opening times every day. The few bags of grain that were brought down, and little money came into the account, that was really much better. Therefore, the two Lin Yu brothers cherished their current life and attached great importance to the grocery store.

Every morning, Lin Yu and Lin Bao would come to the shop early, to clean and sweep, and to fiddle with the items on the shelves. They kept a small grocery store in good order, extraordinarily clean and tidy.

In addition to looking after the grocery store business, they did not abandon the work in the field.When there is no work in the field, the three of Zhou Ze and the others usually stay in the grocery store. One of the Lin Yu brothers is responsible for collecting money, and the other is responsible for getting things. Zhou Ze is mainly there to guide the Lin Yu brothers, record prices, and settle accounts. .

Soon, both Lin Yu and Lin Bao got used to it, and they were not so restrained in selling things. While selling things, they could chat with the villagers and communicated with people more. The two of them became more and more energetic. There are more and more smiles on her face, and her temperament is much brighter.

When the local work is busy, Zhou Ze and Lin Yu usually leave one of them to look after the shop, while the other two go to the field to weed and tend the crops.

The days go by quickly, the heat of summer gradually dissipates, and autumn is ushered in. The busiest season of the year, autumn is received. This is also the happiest time for the farm family. After a busy year, I look forward to There can be a good harvest in the crop field.

This year's situation was originally a drought year, and the crops did not grow very well. Later, because of the timely rain, the crops in the field were relieved and the harvest was not bad.

Every household in the village, men, women and children, went to the field to harvest the crops. They were all full of energy. Even if they were tired and sweaty, they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

In order to pull the crops in the field, Zhou Ze and the others bought a mule in advance.Zhou Ze also thought about buying this mule. First, the mule can help pull the crops and plow the land during the busy farming season.

On this day, Zhou Ze and the Lin family brothers got up early and had a simple breakfast. Because he had to collect corn in the field, and his family was small, they went to the field to break corn together. brand.

Locking the door of the house, carrying two bamboo tubes of boiled water, and catching up with the mule cart, Zhou Ze and the Lin brothers went to the corn field. Today their job is to harvest the corn in the field.

One person and one long, walked from the head to the end of the field, breaking off the corn with both hands and throwing it into a pile.

After the corn is broken, it is loaded into a mule cart and transported to the yard of the house one by one. For the sake of speed, most people in the village will directly break off the corn, take it home, and then remove the outer layers of bracts from the corn. These corn husks are used as firewood when they are dried in the sun, and it is best to start a fire.

The corn is pulled back home, and then the corn stalks in the field are dug out, tied into bundles, and piled up in a pile at home. After drying, they are used as firewood for fire, and farmers like to burn them.

After working for several days in a row, the corn, millet, soybeans, and mung beans in the field were brought back home.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ze and the others started a new round of busy work at home. The corn was removed from the bract leaves and piled up to dry, the millet was dried and threshed, and the soybeans and mung beans were dried and threshed...

During the busy autumn harvest, the Mid-Autumn Festival came. Zhou Ze went to the county early in the morning, bought two catties of moon cakes, cut two catties of meat, chopped one catty of meat into steamed buns with meat filling, and sliced ​​one catty of meat into stews.

Zhou Ze and Lin Bao sat in the yard peeling corn husks, Lin Yu kneaded the dough ahead of time, and at noon, steamed a pot of fragrant meat buns.

Soon, the steaming meat buns came out of the pot. Lin Yu first put three meat buns on a plate, took them to the yard, and worshiped God three times. The first portion of the festival meal was given to God.

"Brother Zhou, Xiaobao, wash your hands and come eat buns." Lin Yu shouted.

Zhou Ze and Lin Bao stopped what they were doing and went to wash their hands. The whole family sat around the dining table, on which steamed buns, a pot of eggplant with mashed garlic, and a plate of cucumbers were already placed.

The three of them picked up the buns and ate them. The freshly baked buns are the best, with a mouthful of oil, full of meaty aroma.

"Today's buns are really fragrant and delicious." Lin Bao sighed while eating,

"Well, not bad, it's delicious." Zhou Ze said.

Hearing the compliments from the two, Lin Yu had a smile on his face.

At night, when the bright moon was in the sky, the faint moonlight filled the earth. After dinner, the Lin family set up a table in the yard with a plate of moon cakes, a plate of grapes, and sliced ​​watermelon. Zhou Ze and Lin Brother Yu sat at the table, eating moon cakes and admiring the moon, having a rare moment of leisure.

After staying for a while, Lin Bao couldn't sit still anymore, and said, "Brother, I want to go out for a while."

Lin Yu glanced at him, knowing it well, and said, "You want to find Brother Dong?"

Lin Bao blushed slightly, but no one could tell in the dark, "Well, Brother Dong and I made an appointment to watch the moon together."

Lin Yu said, "Bring some mooncakes and grapes, and come back early."

Lin Bao nodded in agreement, happily packed a few mooncakes and a bunch of grapes, and trotted all the way to find brother Yuandong.

Lin Bao left, and only Zhou Ze and Lin Yu were left in the yard. Zhou Ze leaned over with a stool and called out, "Ayu~"

"Well, Big Brother Zhou." Lin Yu blushed slightly, answered, and was gently held in Zhou Ze's arms.

Lin Yu tilted her head and leaned on Zhou Ze's generous shoulder, and the two of them looked at the bright moon in the sky together.Zhou Ze turned his head and kissed Lin Yu's face. He grabbed his hand and put it in his palm, interlocking his fingers.

"Ayu, after the big autumn, shall we get married?" Zhou Ze said, "Let's get married first, and the bridal chamber will wait for you when you grow up."

These days, Zhou Ze found that there are more and more little brothers and big girls who come to buy things in their grocery store. To get close to him, some even said that Lin Yu had bad intentions and was interested in his money. In addition to these, there were some even worse things, saying that Lin Yu took a big man to live at home, and was disorderly.

Zhou Ze didn't like to deal with these things. He thought well at first, and he could live a comfortable and simple life. He ignored the power of some gossipers in the village. He didn't care, but he couldn't let Lin Yu be wronged. The best solution now The solution is for the two of them to get married, which can not only block the mouths of good people, but also avoid some troubles. He specifically asked Liu Changwang about this, and Liu Changwang also had this intention, let them get married as soon as possible, and avoid other people's tongues.

Lin Yu held Zhou Ze's hand tightly, and replied, "Okay."
