Chapter 9: Apricot Yellow (6) (8)
Her ease and comfort are not only the result of finding a solution to the factory's current predicament. More importantly, from a few young cubs, she saw a new force that had risen in Xinghua Village today, and was pushing and pulling Xinghua Village forward with a calm and strong momentum. Although there are some faltering steps, they are full of self-confidence and a steady stream of stamina, and they will never be hindered or influenced by any force.
At dinner that night, Xylophone would also talk about the issues discussed and chatter with Jing'er endlessly. It took two meals to finish the dinner.
Mao Sheng couldn't wait for the two of them, so he ate by himself, got up and went to his yard on the hillside east of the village. Xingzi was tired of the xylophone from the heart, and the two chattered endlessly. He also ate in a hurry, followed Mao Sheng, and ran to the yard to watch the play.
In the yard there is fresh wheat that has just been laid. The damp wheat, though packed into pockets by the evening, is still piled up in the yard to be spread out and dried early tomorrow morning. At night, all the pockets of new wheat are piled up in the yard, and someone needs to sleep on the yard to guard it.
A few years ago, all the crops and rice in the yard of each farm did not need to be taken care of, and I did not see a pound and a half taels lost. Most people don't go to the yard for the night. In the past two years, it has not worked, and there are often incidents of loss of rice and grain in unattended yards. Although they are all trivial things such as a few handfuls of wheat grains, a few handfuls of peanuts, and a few baskets of dried sweet potatoes, they also sounded a shocking alarm bell for the villagers. The villagers gradually felt that the world was no longer smooth, people's hands and feet were no longer honest, and people's hearts were not ancient. Therefore, every day when the summer and autumn crops are harvested and enter the yard, every household has to send people to squat in the yard. Playing in the sun during the day and working at night, I dare not be careless and sloppy.
These days, Maosheng has been squatting in his yard all day long. In addition to eating and relieving his hands, he did not leave his body for a moment. Xingzi also likes to sleep in the yard at night. When he sleeps, there is always a lot of landscape fun that makes him feel fresh and curious.
At first, Maosheng did not agree. He thought that the dew in the open field was heavy and wet, and the baby's body was delicate, and he was afraid that he would fall into some disease. However, Xingzai has made up his mind and insists on accompanying Maosheng to protect the field. He first spoke good words, and then he was soft and hard. Seeing that it really didn't work, he completely pulled down his face and pursed his mouth. The tricks of urgency, annoyance, anger, and hatred will come out in turn. Either deliberately contradict Maosheng, or make his face to Maosheng for no reason, or throw a rake and throw a broom, or don't say a word to Maosheng all day. In fact, Maosheng had already noticed that Xingzi had begun to change, and he had become troubled and at a loss. Apricot is like an unruly foal, often stretching out his hooves towards him. One is unsatisfactory, like a little rooster with a red face, flying up and down, glaring and clenching fists to play with Mao Sheng's temper. Mao Sheng first humbled him and treated him leniently. Gradually, Xingzi actually had the posture of kicking his nose and face. Somehow, Mao Sheng was a little afraid of him. He was secretly sad and troubled, and he was afraid that he had wronged him and forced him, so he instigated and indulged his evil nature more and more. In desperation, Mao Sheng had to agree to his request and let him sleep with him all night in the small shack made of wheat straw in the corner of the yard. [End of Chapter]
