Chapter 217: Help dig sweet potatoes
You Ma and the third sister also went to sleep after washing, and after a tiring day, they soon fell asleep.
When I got up the next morning, You's mother cooked the rice very early, because today I had to dig sweet potatoes and have to work for another day.
After the five boys got up in the morning, they stretched their waists, they had never done farm work, and they were really sore when they got up after working all afternoon.
Especially the three classmates in the city, Dajun and Tianhong touched their shoulders and cried out in pain.
Yesterday I learned to pick it, and this morning I got up with a hot pain in my shoulder, and Xiao Ming was not much better, I picked it back and forth four times yesterday, and each time I said that it was about eighty pounds.
I rarely do farm work, and occasionally do it, it's really uncomfortable, Xiao Ming opened the clothes on his shoulders, which were red and swollen, sighed and said, "You guys wait a minute, I'll go get some plasters, it may be better to stick it on." ”
Saying that, he got up quickly, took out a pack of xx painkiller cream in the drawer of the old desk, tore it open, and called Dajun and Tianhong to come over, and they said okay, come over quickly.
Xiao Ming tore open two sheets, first helped the army paste them, and the army screamed 'ouch', and then said: "It's really much more comfortable, it's just a little hot." ”
Xiao Ming hurriedly said that it would be better to paste it, and quickly tore open two sheets to help Tianhong paste them, and Tianhong took them and said: "Give it to me, ask Qinghai to help me paste it." ”
Xiao Ming gave it to him immediately, Tianhong gave it to Qinghai, Qinghai immediately helped him put it on, there was a fire on his shoulder, but it was very comfortable, Tianhong immediately said: "It's really better, this sticker works." ”
Dajun was helping Xiao Ming stick, looking at Xiao Ming's red and swollen shoulders, a little heartache, and asked in a low voice: "Every time you finish picking, you will paste this." ”
Xiao Ming nodded yes, and the army sighed and said, "You should buy a small cart and load the grain into the cart and transport it back, so you don't have to work so hard." ”
Xiao Ming had no choice but to say that you also saw that the road was uneven, it was not easy to push, so you could only pick, and I was really helpless.
Tianhong helped Qinghai look at the wound, asked Xiao Ming to take a plaster, he helped Qinghai paste it, Xiao Ming said okay, found scissors, and cut it for him.
Xiao Ming immediately asked Ji Xing if he wanted to paste it?Ji Xing immediately asked if there was any anti-itching xx toilet water?
Xiao Ming said yes, immediately went to find it, and after finding it, he gave it to Ji Xing, who poured it on his hand and applied it to himself, and a cool fragrance filled the room.
After Jixing finished painting, Tianhong took it and wanted to help Qinghai Tu, Qinghai immediately said that he would come, Tianhong had to give it to him, and he slowly painted it himself.
The five boys tossed in bed for almost an hour before they packed up the toilet water and plaster, got dressed and got up.
Seeing them come out, You's mother hurriedly asked them to wash their faces and eat, and they smiled and said yes.
Xiao Ming called for washing water and told them to wash first, they first took a bowl of water to brush their teeth, and the five boys all came to the outside of the yard and stood in a row, holding the bowl in their left hand and a toothbrush in their right hand, brushing quickly. It's the same in Jixing's house.
When the brushing was finished, the army said loudly: "Xiao Ming, Ji Xing, your own well water does not smell of disinfectant water."
The water we drink in the city has been disinfected, and your well water officials have checked it, so is it okay to call for it to drink?"
Xiao Ming immediately said after brushing his teeth: "There should be, my mother and they just knew, but I haven't heard that drinking this well water is poisoning, after all, there is no big pollution here." ”
Dajun nodded and said the same, the five boys hurriedly went to wash their faces after brushing, and at this time, You's mother also finished washing, and she was drying clothes with the third sister.
She also washed Xiao Ming's clothes, there was no rain last night, and the clothes of the four boys had been dried by the wind.
The sun had come out and hung in the sky, turning the white clouds red. After everyone washed their faces, Xiao Ming brought the meal to the table and fried four vegetarian dishes, and You's mother hurriedly asked everyone to eat.
They all sat down, and they were hungry, and they were eating and cooking dry, thinking that they would have to work today.
After eating quickly, the third sister and You's mother went to wash the dishes, everyone sat down to rest, looked at the watch in their hands, and it was already half past eight.
The sun outside was not very sunny, and the army immediately said: "Let's go out and dig sweet potatoes now, and come back when the sun is big, and we will go again in the afternoon when we can't finish digging." ”
Xiao Ming smiled and said okay, stood up and went to find the iron gauze knife, found five, carried two baskets, picked a pair of baskets, and found three hoes.
Qinghai held the iron gauze knife, thinking that his left hand was cut, looking at the neatly polished sharp teeth, glowing with iron-like blue, and said with a smile: "This knife is really sharp." ”
Xiao Ming immediately said: "Yes, you don't want to cut it today, your hands are not good yet, just wait for you to help wipe the sweet potatoes."
By the way, do you want to take some anti-inflammatory drugs, now that the weather is still a little hot, it is not good for the wound to suppurate. ”
Qinghai nodded and said okay, Xiao Ming hurriedly went back to the house to find xx anti-inflammatory medicine, helped him pour boiling water, took out four for him, Qinghai immediately ate and drank boiling water.
Xiao Ming watched him eat it and said, "You should have asked me to find it for you to eat last night, remember to eat it three times a day."
After eating, it will get better after three days in a row, we do farm work at home, and sometimes we get injured, so these medicines are prepared. ”
Qinghai nodded and said okay, after the five boys went to the toilet, they were ready to go, Xiao Ming told his mother not to go today, he was tired of a day yesterday, cooking at home, drying grain, and killing chickens and ducks, it was delicious at noon.
Rushing to the market today, I went to cut some pork and came back, You Ma smiled and said okay, told them to be careful, and came back when the sun was very hot, and they said yes.
Xiao Ming, Dajun, and Tianhong each carried a hoe, Qinghai carried a pair of baskets, and Jixing carried two baskets on his back, and went out with a smile.
Seeing them go out, You's mother asked the third sister to wash out a few vegetables at home, go to the village to catch the market, and buy some pork back, and the third sister said yes.
There was still dew on the grass on the road, and when he met an acquaintance, Xiao Ming called his uncle and aunt, and when he saw four strange boys, he said that you are a classmate, Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming smiled and said yes, the uncle and aunt said loudly Xiao Ming, you go dig sweet potatoes, Xiao Ming nodded and said yes.
The uncle and aunt also carried it, carried the hoe, walked four paths, and arrived at a piece of land halfway up the mountain, Xiao Ming smiled and said that this is it.
The four boys said yes one after another, put down the tools in their hands, and Xiao Ming began to teach them how to cut sweet potatoes. The long sweet potato leaves are a little yellow, and Xiao Ming told them to cut them into three sections, so they won't be so long.
The four boys smiled and said okay, Xiao Ming told Qinghai and Jixing not to cut it, let them tie the sweet potatoes into a bundle next to them, and carry them back when the time comes, and pick them back.
Tianhong and the three of them cut, Xiao Ming did it after all, and quickly finished cutting a line, Tianhong's speed was slightly faster, and the army was slower.
When Xiao Ming finished cutting the second line, Tianhong and the army finished cutting the line, and they admired Xiao Ming very much when they saw Xiao Ming working so hard.
After the army and Tianhong were proficient, they increased their speed, and the mud in the soil was just right, not too wet, but their shoes were all covered with mud, and they seemed to have increased a lot when they walked, and the shoes on their feet became heavier.
Qinghai and Jixing were on the side to help bundle the sweet potatoes, and basically the speed could keep up with them.
After the cut, the five boys breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Ming asked everyone to take a break, everyone said okay, there are ten lines in total, the army looked at the watch, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was out, and the weather was a little hot.
Xiao Ming took a hoe and taught them to dig sweet potatoes, digging along the mud around the roots of sweet potatoes, telling them to be careful not to dig badly, and they said yes.
Xiao Ming told Qinghai and Jixing not to dig, wait to wipe the mud off the sweet potatoes, and pick them back when the time comes.
Qinghai they said okay, Xiao Ming took the hoe and dug it hard, and after a while, he dug out three sweet potatoes that grew together, threw them aside, and said loudly that this is how they dug up.
Tianhong They said yes, and the army took the remaining two iron hoes and began to dig like Xiao Ming, fortunately, the hoes were small and not too heavy in their hands.
The army dug carefully, and after a while, several were dug out, and so was Tianhong, each of the three of them dug a line, and Xiao Ming's speed was faster.
Tianhong dug for a while, suddenly dug off, heard a crisp sound, took the hoe and looked, the sweet potato was dug in half by him, and the sweet potato with yellow heart was separated, he had to sigh a little and carefully dig it all up.
Qinghai and Jixing quickly wiped the mud on the sweet potato, and at this time there was too much mud on the sweet potato, and their speed was a little unable to keep up.
Xiao Ming didn't rush them, knowing that they hadn't done it, the speed would definitely be slow, and when Xiao Ming finished digging two lines, the army and Tianhong finished digging one line, and the sun was already very hot at this time.
Xiao Ming hurriedly told them to stop and go back to eat, everyone said okay, Dajun and Tianhong's faces were red, all sweaty, and their clothes were wet, so they carried the hoe over, called Qinghai and Jixing to come over, and prepared to go back.
Xiao Ming took two baskets of sweet potatoes and asked Qinghai to try it, is it important? Qinghai picked it up, walked a few steps, felt okay and said okay, Xiao Ming told him to go first, he said okay.
I asked Ji Xing to come over and try it, Ji Xing also said yes after carrying it, Xiao Ming picked up most of the basket by himself, and tried it with the basket.
Tianhong and Dajun saw it and asked him to pick less, he said yes, picked out a lot, only half a basket, and left.
The army carried two hoes, and Tianhong walked behind with a gauze knife in his hand and a hoe.
Ji Xing's strength was a little better, he walked in front, his hands were covered with mud, Qinghai was not good, he walked for a while, he began to be unable to walk, he stood there panting, and whispered that he was dead.
Xiao Ming walked in the middle and stopped, put down the flat burden, Tianhong saw it, hurriedly walked over, and asked him to change with him, and he immediately said yes.
Tianhong put down the hoe and iron gauze knife in his hand, loosened the back basket on Qinghai's back, and let Qinghai hold it, so that he could carry it on his back, and Qinghai suddenly felt a lot more relaxed on his shoulders.
After Tianhong put it on, I felt a little pain in my shoulder. He endured it, breathed a sigh of relief, walked up, and quickly walked in front of Jixing.
At this time, Jixing was a little tired, standing there and not leaving, the army hurriedly walked over to replace him, and carried it up, the army felt the same as Tianhong. The two of them should have better physical strength and walk faster.
Xiao Ming walked alone behind, and soon fell behind, he rested, took a breath, quickly provoked, and quickly caught up with them.
Qinghai and Jixing admired him very much, he had so much strength, along the way, Tianhong and Qinghai changed twice, Jixing and Dajun changed twice, Xiao Ming did not change, and went home alone.
