Chapter 52: Let's Go Feed the Pigs
The three years of high school life are vivid.
If it weren't for them, she would have been dead a long time ago, and now she may be reduced to the bottom of life, unrecognizable, how can there be such a beautiful hour as now.
Summer is coming to an end, but it's still dawning early.
Xia He was used to getting up early and couldn't sleep. Knowing that Yao Xi was too tired recently and couldn't bear to disturb, he got up lightly.
After washing, I saw that my parents hadn't gotten up yet, and I thought that they were usually very tired, so I put on a full-enveloping apron and rain boots, and prepared to go to the farm yard to feed chickens, ducks, pigs and geese.
The pigsty needs to be cleaned once a day, and as a peasant girl, Xia He's practice makes perfect.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Shao Jinnian stretching by the fish pond.
"Early. Xia He was carrying an iron bucket, and there was swill in the iron bucket.
"Why are you going?" Shao Jinnian glanced up and down, and saw that she was fully armed and dressed tighter than their protective clothing.
Let's just call it protective clothing.
"Feed the pigs. ”
"I'll go with you. Shao Jin came to be interested, he had never lived in the countryside, and he had not seen these jobs.
"No need!" Xia He stopped him and pointed to the farm yard not far away: "It's all my family's livestock pen over there, it stinks, you better not go." ”
"Don't worry. ”
Shao Jinnian looked at her: "Do you still have this dress, get me a set too?"
"It's just my dad's. Xia He looked at him uncertainly: "You seem to be much taller than my father, I guess you can't wear it, if you are really interested, just stand next to me and watch me get it!"
"How's that going to work? Shao Jinnian said solemnly: "Please Miss Xia give me a chance to feel the rural life." ”
Xia He was amused by his appearance: "Okay, don't regret it." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and went into the house, found his father's shovel official suit for Shao Jinnian, and gave him a set of Xia Guo's clothes and rain boots.
Shao Jinnian quickly changed out, and the clothes and rain boots were just right, but the shovel officer's suit was a little tight, and the length just covered the calf.
Xia He saw that his back was still open, pulled the cloth straps on both sides and tied a bow for him.
Xia He looked at Shao Jinnian, who was both down-to-earth and personable in front of him, nodded, and gave a thumbs up: "Very rural!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, took out her mobile phone and wiped it at him, and Shao Jinnian, who heard the sound of taking pictures, hurriedly posed.
"Show me!" Shao Jinnian leaned over and was satisfied when he saw the photo: "The photography technique is good, why am I still so good-looking." ”
"You and my brother are really the same stinky fart!" Xia He put away his mobile phone, picked up the iron bucket, and walked in front to lead the way.
"Wait, wait!" Shao Jinnian followed behind: "Turn back to see me." ”
Xia He didn't know why, turned around, turned around, and got stuck.
Shao Jinnian pressed the shutter button, and the appearance of a small village flower in a farm house was frozen in his mobile phone.
"You candid the film. Xia He said dissatisfiedly: "Deleted it, I'll do it again!"
"Don't! just this one!" Shao Jinnian took an iron bucket of swill in her hand and ran forward easily.
The two of them laughed and laughed, bright and beautiful, and even the flowers on both sides of the road were eclipsed.
Not long after, Shao Jinnian took the lead in running to the farmyard.
Seeing Xia He catching up, he opened the door first and walked in, without waiting for Xia He to remind, he shouted in a panic: "Xia He Xia He!
"Woohoo!"
Shao Jinnian turned back in embarrassment, couldn't dodge, and simply relied on the advantage of being tall to reach the door frame and hang it by the door.
Nijo rushed out and barked at him, but didn't jump and bite.
"Erjo!" Xia He opened his mouth to call, and the wolf dog with yellow hair and shiny oil heard the call and turned to gallop towards her!
Affectionately jumped and licked her hands, and kept circling around her.
"Why didn't you tell me there was a dog inside!" Shao Jinnian slammed on the door, looking at Xia He and the big yellow dog that suddenly rushed out and ran towards him, and one person and one dog actually ignored him and entered the courtyard.
"Xia He ......"
"Wang-" Shao Jinnian just tried to touch the ground with his feet and wanted to enter the courtyard, but the bricks barked wildly.
was so frightened that Shao Jinnian immediately withdrew from the hospital.
"Okay, good two, he's his own person. Xia He patted Erjo's dog head and gently comforted it.
"Come in, it's all right. Xia He smiled and looked at Shao Jinnian, who was hesitant at the door.
"Are you sure it understands what you're saying?" Shao Jinnian tried to step on one leg, and her words of her own made him feel good.
Nijo glanced at him and didn't bark.
Xia He continued to stroke its fur and teased it affectionately.
Shao Jinnian raised his other foot again.
Walking forward with both feet, Nijo wagged his tail and closed his eyes slightly to enjoy the caress of his master.
"Close the door. Xia He said and stood up.
Shao Jinnian watched Erjo's every move vigilantly, and gently closed the door of the farmyard.
Seeing that the two wagged their tails and returned to their kennel and lay down obediently, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This dog is too well-behaved!"
"Wang-"
"Xia He, Xia He!" Shao Jinnian quickly ran behind Xia He, vigilantly staring at Erjo, who was half-sitting in the kennel and staring at him.
"Haha, the famous Dr. Shao is afraid of my family. Xia He smiled and joked to him: "If I go to Licheng Daily to contribute, do you think you will make headlines?"
"Can you not be afraid? It was so fierce just now. Shao Jinnian, who was tall and tall, hid behind the delicate and thin Xia He, staring at Erjo intently.
"You call it Nijo to try. Xia He said as he held a pot of corn and got busy with himself.
Shao Jinnian followed her in a hurry, and saw her open a small door and pour a large pot of corn into it.
There is a part of the back mountain on the side of the small gate, and a small half of the mountainside is surrounded by barbed wire, which is used by Xia He's family to raise chickens, ducks and geese.
"Two-of-a-kind. Shao Jinnian tried to speak, but when he saw Erjo wagging his tail, he dared to shout again: "Erjo!"
Nijo rushed over and pounced on him.
"Xia He...... Rescue ...... Hey, Erjo, be good!Haha, don't make trouble! It's so itchy!" Shao Jinnian smiled heartily and played with the big yellow dog Erjo, who was running towards him and rubbing his legs.
Xia He looked at it with satisfaction, her family's good two are really well-behaved and humane.
Xia He poured the swill from the iron bucket into the large mixer in front of the pigsty in the lower yard, and then lifted the cornmeal from the earthen house and poured it in, and turned it back to continue lifting.
"How many barrels do you need?" Shao Jinnian followed behind her.
"Forty or fifty pounds. Xia He said: "You have to ask for a bag of cornmeal for a meal." ”
"Is this bag enough?" Shao Jinnian saw Xia He nodding, and directly carried it and poured it into the blender according to her appearance.
"I also want to put chaff, it's more choking!" Xia He handed him a mask and put one on himself, and then pointed to the neatly stacked chaff on the low building above the pigsty.
Shao Jinnian brought a mask, took down a bag according to his words, poured it into the mixer, Xia He put the water and pulled the electric switch.
Hearing the familiar voice, the big fat pigs who knew that it was time for breakfast rushed to lie on the side of the pigsty, screaming deafeningly, pulling a long hara, as if they had not eaten in ten lifetimes.
After a short time, the pig food is stirred evenly.
"It's quite convenient!" Shao Jinnian looked at it with great interest, and couldn't help but amplify his voice in the sound of the pig.
"Yes, this is my brother who dismantled the cement mixer and modified it. Xia He roared proudly: "He has played the advantages of science men well. ”
"My brother has a talent in this area, and he should make good use of his strengths. Shao Jinnian heard it and took it in a loud voice.
Seeing Xia He simply and neatly turned off the electric switch, there was no little girl pretentious, and her admiring eyes were like torches.
"Of course! My parents were too good to say anything to my siblings. Xia He looked up at him: "It's time for you to play the man first, Doctor Shao." ”
Xia He made a gesture of please, pointed to a few large buckets, and began to fill pig food into them.
"Okay!" Xia He filled a bucket, Shao Jinnian lifted it up, and according to Xia He's command, a pigsty was dumped one bucket after another.
The big fat pigs immediately fought for me and grabbed it hotly.
After feeding these pigs, they sweated slightly.
The deafening pig cries also died down, and only the sound of grabbing food remained.
Shao Jinnian wiped the slight sweat on her forehead, and wanted to ask Xia He what to do next, but she saw her slipping into the pigsty with a shovel.
Approaching the pigsty, the smell was strong, he had smelled it before, and now seeing Xia He skillfully shoveling pig, he felt that he couldn't be hypocritical.
After taking another shovel, he also turned over into another pigsty next door, and began to learn Xia He's movements in a similar manner.
"Hey, you go out! I'll just come here!" Xia He looked up and saw that he obviously hadn't done farm work, not that he disliked him, but this kind of tiring and dirty work was really not suitable for him to do.
"What you can do, I can do. Shao Jinnian grinned and said with a smile: "I also grew up with hardships, not a big young master." ”
“...... Then you should pay attention to safety and move quickly, otherwise when the pigs finish eating, you will be arched by them, and you will be miserable. Xia He still wanted to persuade, looking at his insistence, he reminded.
Sure enough, Xia He quickly shoveled five pigsties, and Shao Jinnian was still in the first one.
A few pigs had already earned all the food in the pig trough, humming as if they were still unsatisfied.
Shao Jinnian didn't pay attention, and just as he was about to pour a shovel of pig manure into the manure pit behind him, he was turned around and rubbed by the two fat pigs who had finished eating, and the shovel of fresh pig manure that had just been shoveled was sprinkled on his legs.
Shao Jinnian's face darkened instantly, and he wanted to cry without tears and shouted Xia He: "Xia He, Xia He! What should I do! The pig is here!"
"You're still stunned by the pig!" Xia He couldn't help but smile: "Come out quickly!"
Thinking that this big boy who usually loves cleanliness can bend down and step into this dirty pigsty, she feels warm in her heart.
Shao Jinnian turned out of the pigsty and looked at his "protective clothing", trouser legs, and rain boots full of stinky pig poop.
"It's okay!Don't cry!" Xia He looked at his pitiful appearance and couldn't help coaxing him.
I didn't expect Shao Jinnian to take this trick, his mouth was pursed, and the voice that came out through the mask was a little aggrieved: "I've done it for you, you have to compensate me!"
"Okay, good, I'll make it up to you. ”
Xia He coaxed and went to take his hand: "Let's go, go home and wash!"
Shao Jinnian didn't let go of her hand, and said arrogantly: "You haven't washed your hands yet, don't hold it." ”
"Then I'll wash my hands first, let's do it!" Xia He went to the sink.
"Go back and wash. Shao Jinnian looked at his hand with some disgust and began to walk out.
It's not something that can be rinsed off with running water, and I don't know how many bacteria there are.
Nijo jumped out and wagged his tail around them.
"You can go out for a stroll during the day, but you can't bite people!" Xia He opened the door, called Erjo out, and then hung the courtyard door.
Carrying an empty iron bucket and following behind Shao Jinnian, the two walked back one after the other.
The two who were freed ran and jumped back and forth on the bluestone road, turning back from time to time to be coquettish beside Xia He, rubbing their legs, and running forward happily.
Xia He watched Shao Jinnian walk slowly, as if he was deliberately waiting for her slow pace, sped up his pace, and walked forward side by side with him.
On both sides of the long bluestone path in the early morning, flowers are blooming, reflecting the slender figures of two people, like two newlyweds who love each other.
If you live like him for the rest of your life, it seems that it is not impossible.
Xia He blushed when he thought of this, not understanding.
