Qi Jingtao's current physique is very easy to carry a burden of more than 100 kilograms, don't look at the small flat burden that is weighed down by the tobacco leaves, and he sits on the road on his shoulders and flickers, but the person who carries the burden seems to have no pressure.

In the past, he could only pick up such a heavy burden, Qi Jingtao could barely pick it up by trotting forward according to a certain stride, and he had to rest his shoulders a few times on the way. It's like now, as if there is nothing on the shoulder, you can take care of your mother's footsteps and slowly carry the burden slowly.

The mother and son were chatting and walking in the dark, Chen Huifen's attention was attracted by the content of her son's chat, and the black light didn't pay attention to her son's relaxation.

By the time they returned to the drying field, Su Min had already left the school, and was talking and laughing with Linlin weaving tobacco leaves under the lights lit up in the flue-cured tobacco room. She doesn't have to give Qi Lin and her grandmother a hand, she can already sit on a small stool alone and weave tobacco leaves with a tobacco stick. It's just that it's hard to say how tight the tobacco leaves she made up, and Qi Jingtao shook off several tobacco leaves when she helped him carry the braided tobacco leaves away and stack them. Grandma didn't say anything, she paid attention to the tobacco leaves that Su Min stacked, and then quietly reprocessed the tobacco leaves made by Su Min before sending them into the roasting room.

Qi Zhengming had already formed a group with five or six men to load the green tobacco leaves prepared by each family in the stuffy flue-cured tobacco room. That link should not be negligent, and you must personally check and fill it to rest assured. Otherwise, the filling and arrangement of tobacco stems is too loose and too dense, which will affect the hot gas circulation in the oven and affect the baking quality of the whole oven.

There are many people who are good at work, and the whole family is hands-on, and the division of labor is cooperative. I was busy until more than eight o'clock in the evening, weaving the green tobacco leaves that had been picked up, sending them to the roasting room in time, and then going home to rest together.

As for the baking work of the flue-cured tobacco room, it is the business of the flue-cured tobacco masters of each production team, and they are all responsible for it. Once the green tobacco leaves enter the flue-cured tobacco room, they need to go through a series of processes such as small fire cultivation, fading and discoloration, medium heat drying meridians, and large fire drying to obtain the finished product of flue-cured tobacco agricultural production - dry tobacco leaves.

When I returned home and cleaned up, today's farm work finally came to an end. The family sat in the courtyard eating fruit snacks brought back by Qi Jingtao and chatting. Listening to what Qi Jingtao said to Chen Huifen on the road, Qi Lin jumped up happily: "Brother, really go to the capital with the whole family?" ”

"None of us have been there, but this time I sent you over to study, and I just went to see it. Didn't my grandmother and my parents keep talking about Beijing's Tiananmen Square and the Chairman's Memorial Hall? While my grandmother and grandmother were still in good health, we went to see it together. These are the places that their older generation want to go to the most, and take this opportunity to go over and get their wishes. Qi Jingtao deliberately said it to his parents who were still hesitant.

"Yes, uncle and aunt, our family Linlin is the champion, how can she go to school in the capital alone? ”

Su Min lost no time in tempting, and on the way home, Qi Jingtao told her that the whole family planned to go to the capital, and she fully agreed with this plan. When she came back this time, she personally experienced the life in the countryside, and she supported Qi Jingtao's plan even more.

"Dad, I've been in college in Spring City for four years, and you haven't been to see me once, so let's go this time. Su Min is right, there are many places to see in the capital, and it will be inconvenient for grandma and grandmother to go in a few years. Qi Jingtao was moved and was still convincing his father.

"Why haven't I been to your university, a few years ago I helped your aunt manage the construction site in Spring City, and I haven't been to that part of Cuihu. ”

Qi Zhengming, who was smoking a hookah, yelled at his son, lowered his head and took a few puffs of cigarette, made up his mind, looked up at his children and said: "Hehe, of course it's best to go to the capital to see, just go! There are so many things at home, and it doesn't mean that you can lose them. ”

"Okay, Dad, you guys discussed, I'll go find Uncle Zhenglin and a few of them. Linlin, prepare more fruit snacks. Hearing that his father agreed, Qi Jingtao said happily and got up and went out.

"Xiao Min, have you discussed?" Qi Zhengming asked Su Min with a smile.

"Uncle, you should know that Ah Tao is not short of money now. He didn't dare to explain it to you at first, because he was afraid that you would be careful. Now that the financial burden on your family is not so heavy, it is time for you to take a break. Hehe, I really didn't expect there to be so much farm work at home, and he never told me about the village before. Uncle, Linlin is the top student in the college entrance examination, how can she be allowed to do these jobs at home every day? Linlin's future development is limitless, in addition to learning knowledge from books, she should also go out for a walk and see. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. You can't let go of the farm work at home, and Ah Tao and Linlin can't let go of their minds to go outside. ”

Su Min saw and heard a lot of things today, she really didn't expect that life in the countryside was so different from that in the city. The theory of urban and rural amphibians that Qi Jingtao told him before turned out to be true. A conscientious and responsible college student from the countryside, if his place of work is near his hometown, it is impossible for him not to want to be an amphibian.

However, the city has the rhythm of the city, and the countryside has the model of the countryside. These conscientious and responsible amphibians, who will eventually integrate into urban life, have little chance of returning to the countryside, which is the trend and general trend of the times. But their pace of integration into the city is so faltering, so hesitant. They want to do both, but they can't help their families too much, and they have too much to lose in the city. By the time they came to their senses, they had lost too many opportunities to develop.

Under normal circumstances, if you compare urban and rural college students with the same starting point, the so-called urban and rural amphibians like Qi Jingtao are already in a weak position. They also want to have it both ways, which is impossible for the vast majority of people.

Yasheng Mencius said 2,000 years ago: "Fish, I want, bear's paw, also I want, you can't have both, give up fish and take bear's paw." ”

People always have to make trade-offs. Su Min knew the situation of Qi Jingtao and Qi Lin, such people are dragons and phoenixes, their hearts are too kind and innocent. They are now standing on a supreme point that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and they are ready to spread their wings and fly high, but they dare not fly and break through as they please.

At this time, the only concern in their hearts is actually the family that gave birth to him and raised him, and the parents who are still hardworking. They are afraid, afraid that by the time they come back after becoming famous, they will already be in a situation and will no longer be able to repay their parents' nurturing grace.

Because, their big rear is really empty, too fragile, too insecure. Their parents have paid more than other families. It is not possible for their children to go home to help much, their children need to spend extra money to provide for them, and their children have to buy books and pay various expenses.

Before their children can become famous, they must dig food from the fields to support themselves while providing the logistics they can for their children to go to school. Their parents did not dare to be idle, tired, eat, clothe, sick, or even die.

Qi Zhengming silently lowered his head and smoked his hookah, and he understood the words of his future daughter-in-law. He didn't expect that his son had changed so much, no wonder he had become more and more extravagant in recent months, no wonder he still wanted to contract the valley of the Thatched River, no wonder he wanted the whole family to go to the capital. Hey, how much ability does this kid have, how much mind does he have, and how many thoughts he doesn't know have been said?

The future daughter-in-law is right, her son has solved the family's financial problems, and the situation at home has changed and is different from the past. You should let go of yourself, don't let them always worry about the acre and three points of land at home, let these little things in their eyes restrain their hands and feet, and do something big if you want to do it.

His son is too sensible to limit his development. If the conditions at home were better, if he only thought about himself, he should have developed better personally. Now, with the support of her brother, her daughter has become superior, as those people in the village said, who has ever seen a dignified female champion doing farm work at home?

A few days ago, Qi Lin's college entrance examination results came out, and the government leaders and teachers of her daughter's school who came to congratulate her at home, although they were praising their daughters for being sensible and knowing that they were worried about their parents, the look in their eyes was really wrong. Is it pity, sympathy, pity, or disdain? Qi Zhengming knew that it was definitely not appreciation, absolutely not admiration.
