Chapter 5 Contradictions

As the days passed, conflicts gradually arose between the two brothers. It's not so much a contradiction between the two brothers as a contradiction between the two families.

Autumn, the season of harvest. Of course, it is also the season of busy farming, and everyone is busy with the autumn harvest.

Under the scorching sun, Xiao Mu built a small nest with wheat stalks to escape the heat, and poked out his little head from time to time to look at his parents working in the fields.

"Xiao Mu, bring the water to Dad. ”

Xiao Mu heard Ah Wen's call, immediately got up, took the kettle and ran to the wheat field.

"Here, Dad, here you go. ”

Xiao Mu saw that his parents were sweating profusely, and their clothes were on their backs. It was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't help much.

"Dad, Mom, you can rest, it's too hot, I think you're quite tired. ”

"Child, how can you not be tired from work, if you want to live, you must work, otherwise you will have nothing to eat. ”

Ah Wen and his wife looked at Xiao Mu, who was tanned, and smiled, because in their hearts, Xiao Mu has grown up, become sensible, not naughty, and have learned to care about their parents, and they feel very relieved.

Just as the family of three was immersed in happiness, the call broke the silence of the moment

"Brother Xiao Mu, Brother Xiao Mu, let's play together, let's go to the field down to fish, it's too hot here, it's not fun." ”

It turned out that my cousin came.

Xiao Mu didn't answer her immediately, but glanced at Ah Wen.

Ah Wen looked at Xiao Mu and said with a smile: "Go ahead, go ahead, pay attention to safety, and take care of your sister." ”

It seems that Xiao Mu is still quite well-behaved, and when she goes to play with her cousin, she has to ask Awen for instructions. Or rather, he was worried!

"Brother Xiao Mu, look at what this insect is, it's fun. ”

My cousin didn't know it was a dirt dog.

"It's a dirt dog, you can't catch it, it's going to bite, it's painful, it's bleeding. ”

Hearing Xiao Mu say this, the cousin was so frightened that she quickly took back the little short hand pointing at the earth dog. Xiao Mu on the side was calm and calm, and even smiled.

As a result, the cousin actually smiled back politely instead of embarrassed and said, "Brother Xiao Mu, why didn't you say it earlier, I was almost bitten and you still laughed, be careful that I don't play with you." ”

Arwen in the wheat field glanced at the brother and sister from time to time, for fear that something would happen to them, after all, they were still young. The fields are full of muddy water, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it, especially in some fields, there are deep mud pools.

"Brother, I have a daughter, where did she go, didn't she come a long time ago?" Ah Zhong asked when he came to the wheat field and didn't see his daughter.

"Well, in the field below, play there with Xiao Mu. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and Ah Zhong and his wife had come to do farm work. After more than two hours, they all went home, and it was obvious that they didn't want to work hard.

Mr. and Mrs. Ah Chung did not harvest the same wheat field with Mr. and Mrs. Ah Wen, but collected another hill. Ah Zhong didn't let the two of them join him, because they both knew in their hearts that those who took in the same hill field together would definitely quarrel and make everyone unhappy.

"Brother, do you have any water, take it to drink, we forgot to bring it. ”

Arwen turned around and replied, "Tell your sister-in-law, I don't know where she just put it." ”

Xiaoying lowered her head and cut wheat on the side, but there was no response. Whether she really didn't hear it, or whether she didn't hear it, is unknown.

Ah Zhong was very helpless, but more angry.

Then he shouted, "Sister-in-law, where is the water? I'm dying of thirst." ”

"Water, oh, oh, here and here. After taking a few steps back, he took out the water from the side foot of the valley bed and handed it to Ah Zhong, and muttered in his mouth: "There is not much, I don't know if it is enough for you to drink." ”

Ah Zhong drank the water in the blink of an eye after taking it, which is simply a "cow drink".

"Oh, no, I'm done drinking. Ah Zhong thought to himself, he had to summon Xiao Mu and ask him to fetch water, but he had nothing to do anyway.

"Hey, Xiao Mu, come up to uncle, uncle will give you a good thing, hurry up!"

When the child heard this, he paid it back, and the two brothers and sisters chased me and rushed to Ah Zhong's side.

"What about things, didn't you say there are good things, where is it?" asked Xiao Mu while scratching his head.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll go to the opposite side to get a pot of water and I'll give it to you later." ”

"You said, you gave it to me when I brought the water back, and I can't go back. ”

Xiao Mu took the kettle and turned around and jumped away, who would have thought that his cousin would also follow, Ah Zhong's original intention was to only call Xiao Mu, not even his own daughter.

"Brother Xiao Mu, wait for me, wait for me, I'm going to go with you. Tang Mei shouted after Xiao Mu.

"Plop"

The cousin slipped and fell into the ditch.

Xiao Mu turned her head and ran back to help her cousin up, and when she saw that her cousin was about to cry, she hugged her into her arms.

"Sister, don't cry, don't cry, if you cry, your uncle will be scolded when you hear it. ”

Hearing this, where did my cousin dare to cry, even if she cried, she didn't dare to cry loudly. After a while, Xiao Mu helped her sister up and helped her cousin to walk towards the water source.

Although there was a small accident on the way to fetch water, the brother and sister were very happy. This is the happiest day the siblings have had in a long time, and perhaps the last time they have had the most fun together in their lives.

The weather in Nancheng is always unpredictable, just now it was still a sunny sky, and now it is indeed dark clouds, and it is not surprising that it is going to rain heavily.

"Xiao Mu, come on, come quickly, come and help your mother pull her pocket, it's going to rain heavily. Put the wheat in your pocket first, or you will get wet. Xiaoying hurriedly shouted Xiao Mu while taking her pocket.

The sensible Xiao Mu agreed to her mother: "Okay, Mom, I'll help you." ”

In just a few minutes, Xiaoying's mother and son put the harvested wheat into their pockets, and Awen carried the wheat packed by the mother and son to a sheltered place from the rain.

At this time, it had already begun to rain, but Ah Zhong and the others had not finished loading. Maybe it's because I usually do less farm work, and because it starts to rain, so I'm a little flustered.

Seeing this, Xiaoying ran to help them load wheat.

"Come, sister-in-law will help you pretend, you can't finish pretending like this at once. ”

The two of them who were already anxious immediately became angry when they heard this, and the two of them who were so angry that they "exploded" said: "Yes, yes, yes, as long as you two can pretend, we won't know anything, you will come, we won't pretend." ”

As a result, I didn't even have to think about it, I was all wet in the rain.

Actually, this is not the first time that this situation has happened, it's just that Xiaoying hasn't learned her lesson, or is too kind, and has to help them every time. The credit for doing a good job is theirs, if the work is not done well, the pot will be carried by Arwen and his wife.

Ah Wen, who returned home, was severely criticized by Li Laohan and Lao Gui, and the tired Xiao Mu brothers and sisters had already fallen asleep, and they didn't know all this.

"Xiao Mu, get up and eat, hurry up, the food will be cold later." ”

Xiao Mu, who slept in a daze, was in the mood to eat well, and he was woken up before he slept enough, which made him very uncomfortable.

At the dinner table, Xiao Mu found that something was wrong. Because my parents kept their heads down when they ate, and the second elder Li Laohan glanced at his parents with vicious eyes from time to time.

"What to eat, you two don't have to eat, you can't work and eat so much, it's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose. Li Laohan said angrily to Ah Wen and his wife.

After hearing this, Xiao Mu hurriedly replied: "What's the matter, what's wrong with my parents?

Ah Wen, who was on the side, immediately hinted that Xiao Mu should not continue, and sandwiched a piece of meat and told him to hurry up and eat without talking.

"What a clip, this kid is just like you, he can't do anything, and he eats so much. ”

Li Laohan was furious.

After hearing this, Xiao Mu immediately threw the bowl on the ground and ran to the room alone to stay.

Tonight, it is destined to be unpeaceful. Mr. and Mrs. Arwen quarreled with the whole family for a long, long time, and I don't know when the quarrel lasted.

And Xiao Mu's future is destined to be different from others, whether it is good or bad is unknown.
