When I got home, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and in order to leave work early in the afternoon, the family was already preparing to eat. Several uncles, aunts, cousins and more than a dozen people were already smoking hookahs in the yard, eating fruit snacks, talking and laughing, waiting for Qi Jingtao to come back from shopping for vegetables to start eating.

Qi Jingtao hurriedly took out the steaming roast duck and various braised pork cooked foods that were temporarily transferred from the ring space from the trunk and sent them to the kitchen for his mother to divide and plate.

Qi Lin, Qi Wen, Qi Jingchuan, Qi Jingye, Qi Jinglei and other Jingzi generations also gathered around noisily to share the fruit snacks that Qi Jingtao brought home. Seeing that Qi Jingtao was back, a few young people still looked at him with unfinished eyes.

"What's going on? It's all done?" Qi Jingtao looked at Qi Lin, who was busy and happy.

"It's done. Qi Lin stuck out her tongue at the old brother.

"When they were done, they were sent home. Hurry over and eat. Qi Jingtao said domineeringly to a few cousins.

As a family in the city, they will give some food to the elderly and children, and several uncles don't take those fruit snacks seriously. In the jokes of the adults, Qi Jingchuan, Qi Jingye, and Qi Jinglei each carried a big bag and sent it back to their homes. A few families lived not far from the next door, and the little boy had a quick leg and came back soon.

Back in the courtyard, Qi Jinglei, the youngest, looked at Qi Jingtao and said, "Big brother, will you bring anything good back when you come back in the future?" The red fruit that Sister Lin gave us to eat just now is really delicious, but if you don't eat it, you won't have it if you haven't eaten enough. ”

"Want to eat?" Qi Jingtao looked at this mischievous little cousin with a smile.

"Think!" Qi Jinglei, who is in the second grade of elementary school, is not afraid of the ground, and answers neatly.

Several older cousins were also ready to move, and even Qi Wen, who was already in her second year of high school, swallowed her saliva, clearly having the same idea, but she didn't dare to put it forward as blatantly as Qi Jinglei. The fruits they ate today were all taken out of the ring space by Qi Jingtao, not the ordinary fruits they bought in the market. There are many varieties and unique tastes, and a few cousins who have never eaten this fruit are obviously addicted to it.

"It's good to think, as long as you start studying hard today, you will advance ten places in the midterm exam this semester. I bring you good stuff every time I come home. If you keep moving forward, bring more and bring you better food. Qi Jingtao seduced the little cousin whose academic performance was not up to par.

"Advance to 10 places, then you can't get 28 in the exam, it's miserable!" Qi Jinglei shouted miserably.

"You're a big-headed ghost, and you're embarrassed to scream in front of your brothers and sisters, and the whole family counts you stupid. Qi Zhenggang yelled at his son.

Qi Jinglei was so frightened that he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Qi Jingtao pulled Qi Jinglei and smiled at Qi Zhenggang, "Third uncle, you are wrong, Xiao Lei is not stupid, he is too smart, and he can be naughty and mischievous just as smart as I was when I was a child." Xiao Lei, he is not tired of reading, and he is very fun. When you are in class, as long as you calm down and listen to the class seriously, and then do your homework seriously after class, it is not a piece of cake to get a good grade. ”

"It's not stupid, just study seriously as your eldest brother said. Qi Zhenggang glared at his son and ignored him.

"Big brother, what do you say?" Qi Jinglei's mind immediately shifted to where he should go.

"Count, the same is true for a few of you, as long as there is progress in learning and no regression, it will be beneficial and everyone will have a share. Qi Jingtao looked at a few cousins and cousins and promised.

At this time, the meal was ready, and the mother and a few aunts did not bring the food to the yard, and Qi Zhengming had already begun to beckon everyone to start eating.

During the busy farming period, everyone does not pay attention to eating, they are all a big family, and they will not be polite, there are rice, vegetables and soup, and there is no need to sit on the table to eat. After half an hour, the food and soup are enough, and the temperature is not so high at this time, and the time for work in the afternoon has arrived. Everyone packed up the tools needed for tobacco seedling transplanting, and more than a dozen people went out together to transplant flue-cured tobacco on the mountain.

This time is the most lively time in the village, a large village of thousands of people, everyone is engaged in the same livelihood, and the working time is not much different.

During the busy farming season, most of the people who usually work outside the country also go home to help, and the countryside during this period is the most concentrated period except for the Spring Festival.

At this point in time, the families in the village are still eating, and the workers have already beckoned each other to start working.

Central Yunnan is highly densely populated, with less than one mu of cultivated land per capita. The mountainous and small basin topography in central Yunnan also determines the scattered distribution of farmland and mountainous areas. The land of such a large village is also scattered in the surrounding mountains and forests and fields within a radius of dozens of miles. Leaving the village on different roads, the people gradually dispersed, each scattering in the direction of their own fields.

In the mountainous area of the back mountain, people who have started work early have begun to transplant flue-cured tobacco in their own flue-cured tobacco fields, or water the flue-cured tobacco seedlings that have been transplanted.

There are many people who can work hard, and when they get to the smoke field, they don't need anyone to direct the division of labor. Qi Jingtao, his father, uncle, and several other adult men were consciously responsible for the manual work of picking and delivering tobacco seedlings, picking up root fertilizer, and carrying water and watering, while his mother and several aunts were responsible for planting tobacco seedlings.

Qi Lin, who followed out of the mountain to let off steam, and a few cousins and sisters were responsible for distributing tobacco seedlings and root fertilizer in the fields. Everything is so skillful, so natural and harmonious.

The sun is setting, under the cool sky in the evening. When the vast majority of urban citizens begin to rest from work, rural work really enters the busiest period.

After dinner on May 3, saying goodbye to their parents who were about to go up the mountain to water the flue-cured tobacco, Qi Jingtao and Qi Lin called Qi Wen, who was also going back to school, and the three brothers and sisters rode a motorcycle back to the city together.

Sending the two younger sisters to school separately, Qi Jingtao came to Room 306, Building 2, Chunxi Community, where he had only lived for one night. Take out the key and open the door. The room was quiet, Su Min and Xu Manli were not there, maybe they hadn't come back yet, right?

Qi Jingtao was like a lion king who had returned to his territory, patrolling around this small world that temporarily belonged to him. The rooms have been cleaned up, obviously after some careful cleaning and tidying, and some inconspicuous but indispensable objects have been added to the home life.

There was a stack of money on the table in the master bedroom where he lived, which was left over from Qi Jingtao to Su Min to buy daily necessities, and where did Su Min put it. Qi Jingtao just smiled when he saw it, and he didn't care about this.

Taking a bath, boiling water and brewing the pot of Pu'er Shengzhu black tea reserved by Lao Qi, Qi Jingtao took out the IBM770 laptop that Director Liu had added to him, went back to his room and turned on the computer to start reading the training materials.
